SISTERLY LOVE

IS SIBLING CITY BOND WORTH THE INVE$TMENT? By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Had history played out differently, it’s possible Mayor Peter Milobar and 15 others would be boarding a plane today headed for the District of Lusaka, Zambia, rather than to the Land of the Rising Sun. In 1989, the same year the City of Kamloops began exploring a sister-city agreement with the Japanese city of Uji, the council of the day voted to formalize its intent to twin with Lusaka, home to the African nation’s capital city and today home to more than 1.7 million people. Or, perhaps the plane would today be bound for Mount Ira, a mining community in north-

east Australia that sent sisterly Christmas cards to Kamloops in the 1980s. Uji wasn’t even the only Japanese city in the running to become Kamloops’ international twin. The 1989 council — apparently intent on amassing as many siblings as possible — also looked at a relationship with Himeji, Japan, which lies about two hours to the west of Uji by rail. But, for the past 23 years, it has been Uji that has captured the attention and airfare of Kamloops’ mayors, councillors, athletes, artists, students and regular everyday citizens. (A more recent twinning agreement with Changping, China, hasn’t racked up nearly as many frequent flyer miles.)

PAN-PACIFIC STATS 16: Number of people on 2013 trip. 4: Number of people on taxpayer tab. 6,400: Estimated taxpayer-funded travel cost, in dollars, for four city representatives. 23: Age of sister-city relationship. 40,000: Estimated cost, in dollars, of sister-city relationship to Kamloops taxpayers this year. 225,000: Estimated cost, in dollars, of sister-city relationship to Kamloops taxpayers since 2000.

Kamloops representatives are supposed to visit Japan every other year, hosting delegations from Uji in between trips. But, the Kamloops delegation opted to cancel its trip in 2011 after an

earthquake and tsunami devastated large swathes of Japan. This month’s visit will be the first in four years. The 2013 delegation has 16 people, including Milobar, councillors Marg Spina and Donovan Cavers, and one city staff person. The quartet’s travel expenses, which Milobar estimates at about $1,600 each, are covered by the city, though it’s customary for the host city to cover hotel costs. The remaining 12 members of the delegation are paying their own way. Adding in costs of hosting the yearly delegation of Uji schoolchildren this summer, along with other sister-city program expenses, City of Kamloops assistant finance director Doug Stewart said taxpay-

ers will fund up to $40,000 as a result of its sibling relationship this year. All told, the city will have spent more than $225,000 on the program since 2000. What it gets in return is not quite so easy to quantify. Over the years, the two cities have exchanged some lump sums of financial aid. When the Kamloops Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre was damaged by fire in 2008, Uji sent $15,000. After the 2011 earthquake, Kamloops sent $10,000 in lieu of a delegation. However, the hopes of some of the program’s early architects have yet to be realized. X See MAYOR A10

2014 public budget talks begin this month By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

If Kamloopsians are really interested in lowering their tax bills, Coun. Tina Lange is hoping 2013 will be the year they tell her how to make it happen. “In the past, all we’ve heard is ‘more — I want my dog park, my wave pool, my sidewalk, lights, whatever,”’ Lange said. But, as the city gears up for budget 2014, it’s trying something a little different — two rounds of public consultations before the numbers are down on paper and the city’s core budget is in place. The first session runs on Tuesday, Oct. 29, at Interior Savings Centre at 7 p.m. A day session follows on Monday, Nov. 4, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the McArthur Island

Sport and Event Centre lounge. The early consultations will replace two of the three public budget meetings that would typically be held in February 2014. Only one consultation is scheduled for the new year. City finance director Sally Edwards said the early consultations will give participants a chance to sit down with staff and hash out what services the city’s various departments are offering now and how that should or shouldn’t change going into the new year. Those suggestions will help shape the city’s core operating and capital budgets, which usually take a back seat to supplemental budget requests — the new splash pools and dog parks — at February consultations. Mayor Peter Milobar said participants should come prepared to talk

about the services in the community they value and those they might be willing to do without. “When you look at the core, do we want to spend less on road rehabilitation?” he said. “Do we want to put off a major capital project? Things like that — that’s the discussion we need to have with people. Do we fund non-profits and social agencies too much, not enough, the right amount? That’s the kind of discussion we need to have because, ultimately, it’s those levels of service that help us define the actual dollar levels.” While the early budget sessions put the idea of services cuts back on the table, Milobar acknowledged it is rare for Kamloops council to reduce services. When it has, it’s generally been a shift of funds from one area to

another, rather than an outright cut. “The things to cut that could actually impact the budget are usually the nice-to-dos,” he said. “And those are the things people absolutely don’t want to get rid of. “That’s why whenever you hear a government come in on the banner of austerity and then they try to implement any budget cut whatsoever, people generally don’t like the result of that,” Milobar said. “It’s a very difficult decision to make and I don’t know where council will go with that this year.” Lange isn’t sure if talk of cuts will play out when council starts discussing hard numbers. But, she thinks putting the question out early may give councillors more clarity about what the public actually wants. “Perhaps if we say it early enough, people will think that maybe

something could actually change, whereas before we gave them this fait accompli — here’s you budget,” she said. “It’s almost too late and I think they feel that.” Not everyone on council is convinced early sessions will change the discussion — or that the city budget necessarily needs trimming. “I think having some early sessions is better, but moving more of the resources to before the new year, I’m not a big fan of that,” said Coun. Donovan Cavers, who put forward an unsuccessful motion to add a second February meeting. “We’ll see. Definitely there’s people asking for earlier while the plan is actually being developed, but I think that was a very select number of people that were actually saying that,” Cavers said.

Death at worksite probed RCMP are investigating the death last week of a Kamloops man at a logging site east of Cache Creek. Mounties in Ashcroft say officers were called to the logging worksite on Battle Creek Forestry Service Road off Highway 1 at 6:50 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 2. Police say a co-worker found the body of 33-year-old David K. Stark in an onsite camper trailer. Stark had stayed in the camper overnight so that he could start work early the following morning. Police say no foul play is suspected, but Mounties, the B.C. Safety Authority and the Coroner’s Office are investigating the possibility of carbon-monoxide poisoning.

REAR-ENDER LEADS TO BUMMER OF A DAY Kamloops Fire Rescue crews help to clear a damaged vehicle from the road after the driver rear-ended a mid-size SUV near the intersection of Notre Dame and Dalhousie drives on Tuesday, Oct. 8. While the weather is fine now, expect to see more of these scenes when the snow starts flying. Slow down and pay attention is great advice. Dave Eagles/KTW

Two handguns stolen in burglary

Kamloops Mounties are looking for tips from the public after a pair of burglaries in Sahali netted guns, electronics and jewelry.

The first break-in took place at about 9:20 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 8, at a home in Sedona Pines. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said the home was broken into, but nothing was taken, suggesting the crooks were likely scared off by a security system. The second incident took place at a home on Arrowstone Drive some time before 11 p.m. Bush said the homeowners were out for the evening and returned home to find several items stolen, including two registered handguns, electronics, jewelry and identification. Witnesses have told police a man was seen going door-to-door in the Sedona Pines area prior to the burglary taking place. Anyone who saw that man, or anything suspicious, is asked to call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477. Callers to Crime Stoppers are guaranteed anonymity.

Topping Trees is a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Growing Problemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; STOP TOPPING TREES

RESULTS OF TOPPING

The tree retaliates by producing an unruly crop of weakly-attached watersprouts, prone to disease and breakage. Disease enters via the stub ends, making the tree a short-lived and potentially dangerous one. The tree ends up looking even bulkier than before; it soon needs re-pruning.

1. Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches. 2. Remove suckers and watersprouts. 3. Remove badly placed branches: t $SPTTJOH PS SVCCJOH FBDI other t (SPXJOH JOUP DFOUSF PG USFF t (SPXJOH JOUP XBMLXBZT SPBEXBZT or buildings 4. If desired, trim slender branch tips a few inches, to a bud or a parent branch.

Health-care spending focus of meeting By Dale Bass

Rick Turner, cochair of the Kamloops Health Coalition, sums up his concerns with federal funding of health care in simple terms. The dollar amounts are important, he said, but the reality could be six-million healthcare aid hours lost in Kamloops if Prime Minister Stephen Harper carries through with his plans. That’s just one reason Turner is hoping the public will attend a forum on the future of the nation’s health-care accord on Thursday, Oct. 10, at Parkside Lounge in Interior Savings Centre. There, a variety of experts who are also advocates for more health-care dollars will be available to answer questions. It’s the culmination of a series of workshops in the city, Turner said, and participants will hear from Turner; Judy Darcy, the provincial NDP health critic;

FUTURE OF HEALTH-CARE ACCORDD WHAT: Forum on health care in Canada WHERE: Parkside Lounge in Interior Savings Centree WHEN: Thursday, Oct. 10, 7 p.m. Donisa Bernardo of the Health Employees’ Union; and Colleen Fuller of Pharmawatch and author of The Bottom Line: The Truth Behind Private Health Insurance in Canada. Pharmawatch is the only direct-fromconsumer adverse drug-reaction reporting program in North America. Each will speak briefly, Turner said, and the floor will then be opened to questions. One of the reasons the session is being held, Turner said, is to make people aware of Harper’s announced plan to reduce federal funding for health care when the current accord expires in 2014. The accord includes a six per cent funding increase per year to 2017, which Harper has now said will then be cut back to three per

cent per year. “That’s money loss to the healthcare system,” Turner said — $5 billion to

Y THAN KSGIVINNG G HAPPY THANKSGIVI Housing-ﬁrst strategy the main focus HAPP SPECIALS SPECIALS Stories by Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Housing will be the focus of the federal Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS) that provides funding to communities addressing the issue. Carmin Mazzotta, the City of Kamloops’ project manager for housing and homelessness, said participants were told, at a series of meetings in Ottawa last week, the goal is to see at least 40 per cent of existing services focused on a housing-first strategy by March 31, 2016. The HPS works with 61 communities; 10 of the largest ones, along with Kamloops and Prince

George, were invited to send representatives to the meetings, a decision Mazzotta said “was huge for us and huge for our community.” Mazzotta said the strategy is based on a belief, backed by research, that an effective way to reduce homelessness is to first put people into housing and then provide services wrapped around it. That strategy, combined with a will to succeed, has shown the majority of people will make lifestyle changes and decisions that keep them off the streets, he said. The city will play a significant role in this move, Mazzotta said, from providing administrative support to writing agreements

to working with social agencies to become more integrated at an operational level. A key role the city will play, Mazzotta said, will be in getting landlords and property owners involved, something he said will be easier with the amount of research now available that shows putting a roof over a person’s head is a major step in helping them move from homelessness to active member of the community. Housing stability improves quality of life, which can reduce costs to the health-care and justice systems, research has shown. “It’s no longer a question of does housing first work,” Mazzotta said.

Out of the Cold in three warmer degrees Some time soon, an agreement will be signed between the city’s homelessness working group and those who operate the Out of the Cold program. Carmin Mazzotta, the city’s housing and homelessness project manager, said the program organized by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul relies on a combination of fundraising and money from the provincial government to provide shelter in the winter to people who might otherwise end up spending their nights on the street. Through the provincial government, the program receives money for nights it opens when the temperature drops to a specific degree, but it has also tried to remain open two nights a week through the winter. BC Housing will provide money for the program to open its doors at St. Paul’s Cathedral, 360 Nicola St., when the temperature reaches -7 C, a change from previous criteria setting -10 C as the open-doors mark

on the thermometer. Last winter, Mazzotta said, the temperature didn’t drop to -10 C often and the program relied on fundraising to provide shelter on Wednesdays and Sundays. This year, it looked like that might not happen so Mazzotta took his concerns to the working group, a partnership that works with federal funds through its Homelessness Partnering Strategy, to address homelessness. The group agreed to provide some money so Out of the Cold can open at least once a week on Wednesdays when the -7 C threshold isn’t met. Its Sunday openings will only happen if the low temperature is reached. Mazzotta said all that’s required is to finalize the details, something he said should happen later this week.

A great time to declutter the ‘clients’ from our prisons

HERE WAS A TIME when I was on the phone with a spokeswoman for Corrections Canada. She was in Ottawa and I was in Abbotsford and the topic of discussion was yet another violent incident at the medium-security Matsqui Institution, a bleak hulk of concrete squatting amid farmland a few kilometres from my newsroom. We were discussing the string of incidents and she was explaining what the top brass were doing to bring sanity back to the prison. It was then that she mentioned the need for her “clients” to be fully aware of measures that were to be implemented. “Clients?” I asked. Yes, she replied, clients — those men behind bars. Her “clients.” “You’re talking about the inmates?” I asked. Turns out she — or Corrections Canada at that time — frowned on such a description of the murderers, rapists and robbers in the cells of our prisons. They were not inmates. They were not cons. They were not prisoners. They were “clients,” men attached to a word that bled out any description that could possibly apply to who they truly were. They were henceforth referenced in the same manner as would be a visitor to the bank on a financial matter. One was a “client” looking to secure a fair mortgage for his growing family; the other was a “client” who happened to have mutilated a few people.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS International Plain Language Day arrives in Sunday, Oct. 13. It is being marked in Vancouver by a four-day conference beginning today (Oct. 10). While the aim of the plain-language movement is to declutter our vocabulary and simply say what needs to be said clearly, I think government organizations (and others) who insist on avoiding common-sense descriptors can also benefit from the lesson plan. As organizers of the conference note, adopting plain language is not dumbing down writing. It is about simplifying and bringing clarity to a message — and, yes, it can be done while still employing creative adjectives. Instruction manuals, legal documents and doctors’ instructions are some areas in desperate need of a plain-language makeover. Here is an example of how an alltoo-verbose legal document can be vastly improved, while retaining its legal status: Before: I give my Agent the power to exercise or perform any act, power, duty, right, or obligation whatsoever that I have or may hereafter acquire,

relating to any person, matter, transaction, or property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, now owned or hereafter acquired by me, including, without limitation, the following specifically enumerated powers. I grant to my Agent full power and authority to do everything necessary in exercising any of the powers herein granted as fully as I might or could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that my Agent shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the powers herein granted. After: I give my agent the power to do anything that I have a right or duty to do, now or in the future. As plain-language advocates note, an average bloke should be able to walk into a courthouse and file some papers without requiring an interpreter (read: lawyer) to explain wording on the forms. The plain-language movement has scads of examples of annoying legalese that can easily be clarified for the common man. Such clean, easy-to-understand language can help so many people assemble a dining room set with minimal profanity. It can help reduce the misinterpretation of prescriptions filled by physicians. And, of course, it can also aid our Corrections Canada “clients” housed in our “temporary time-out buildings” as they ponder the steps of appealing life sentences for happening to have “discharged an assembled weapon, thereby causing the desistance of one’s existence.”

It is with interest that we note the city’s biennial trip to Uji, Japan, is taking place this week — the very week city council decided to hold earlier public meetings in the 2014 budget. Four people in the delegation of 16 now in Japan will have their trip underwritten by you, the taxpayer, the same taxpayer Coun. Tina Lange has said habitually tells council it wants “more” during public budget meetings. Yes, we suppose taxpayers do show up at those meetings to ask for additions to their neighbourhoods, or to ask that certain services not be cut, or to ask that their ever-increasing property-tax bill not be increased too drastically. Then again, we would wager, with a fair degree of confidence, those same taxpayers would not be resistant to putting the Kamloops-Uji sister-city relationship on the budget chopping block in favour of many local endeavours. The city will have spent about $40,000 this year on the twinning project. It has spent about $225,000 on the relationship since 2000. How much has been spent during the 23-year life of the agreement? Nobody at city hall can tell us. How much has Kamloops realized — in strict financial dollars — from the sistership? Nobody at city hall can tell us. Cultural exchanges are wonderful, rich experiences that do indeed benefit the individuals taking part. They add to one’s knowledge of the world and inform their opinion of other ways of life. However, when one considers the cost of sending two people to Uji this week could have more than covered the cost of the loan requested last year by the Sea Cadets to help replace a furnace, the reality of priorities settles in quickly. Take the Sea Cadets loan request (rejected by council) or any other worthy endeavour nixed at city hall and compare it to the cash spent on the sister-city bond (and other feelgood ventures). Until the latter results in a net profit, and until property-tax hikes are eliminated, perhaps taxpayers should pinpoint what fat can indeed be cut to allow for local projects to proceed.

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Letter: Pro-life banner: No such thing as postabortion trauma stress syndrome:

“I am saddened to read your letter, Erin. “Post-abortion trauma is very real. “I am post-abortive and for almost 20 years suffered from postabortive trauma without knowing there was such a thing. Please refer to Dr. Theresa Burke, who has done years of extensive research and healing in the area of post-abortion trauma. “Information can be found online at rachelsvineyard.org.” — posted by Nancy Hadden “I am a pro-choice writer and supporter. I have been diagnosed with, and have suffered from, postabortion stress syndrome. “I don’t care what side you are on or who you believe — I live it and know hundreds of others who do or have as well.” — posted by Suzanne Michel

Move to Styrofoam not earth-friendly Editor: Government has been stressing the need for all of us to lessen our impact on the environment. Its advice to reduce, recycle and reuse has been advertised extensively. I live in Greenfield Estates in Brocklehurst. Ours is a seniors’

apartment building that provides one meal a day. In the past, if any of us wanted to take our meals, or a portion of our meals, to our apartment, we brought our own containers to the dining room. Recently, our manager was told by Interior Health Authority

staff that disposable Styrofoam containers must be provided to us to take our meals back to our apartments. Styrofoam containers are not reusable, are not biodegradable and increase volume in our landfills. Cece Boyd Kamloops

Charity, like a healthy city, begins at home Editor: While watching the evenings news on TV, I heard our city described as being “clean” and “healthy.” Hello! Has anyone heard of, or smelled, our friendly neighbour-

hood pulp mill? It’s been spewing that stuff for decades. Also, a great deal of the stone throwers (those complaining about the health problems the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine would create)

are out there spraying their properties with toxic pesticides. Do they think this stuff just vanishes and does no harm to anyone? Before we cast stones at the newcomers, let’s have a good

City council needs to grow local, Editor: For as long as I can remember successions of city councils have encouraged people to shop local. I have done so for 20 years. The recent council decision to support large commercial pot growers flies in the face of this policy.

look around our city. Just as charity begins at home, so, too, does a healthy, non-toxic environment. Diane Czyzewski Kamloops

too

I hope council will re-consider this stand. Small businesses keep their money in Kamloops; large commercial enterprises send it out of the community. Christina Mader Kamloops

Chase should not purse silver at any cost Editor: I know a secret. Only 35 minutes from Kamloops lies a charming village on a pristine lake. I am fortunate to say that, as of last October, it has become my home and my town. Over the course of the last 11 months, my partner and I have shared this secret with assorted friends and family — and virtually every one of them is making plans to also make this their home. We’ve met many other newcomers who believe, as we do, this truly is paradise!

I recently attended a town hall meeting at which the pros and cons of a pellet plant were being discussed. I regret that, as a newcomer, I believed I should be there to listen only. As a result, I failed to speak up for my wonderful Village of Chase. Many good observations were made — the population has been a stable 2,500 for the past 10 years, properties are selling well and, with the exception of train traffic, our air and noise quality are good. It bothers me tremendously

that the proximity of this proposal to our water and our citizens would place industry and its attendant pollutants, noise, odours and carcinogens just meters from Chase Creek and residential neighbourhoods. An observation was made during the meeting that the smell of the proposed enterprise is “the smell of money.” I would suggest that, if that smell is at all similar to the smell of a pulp mill, we should not be interested at all in selling paradise for a little bag of silver. Joey Nash Chase

Did MP run on no-jobs platform? Editor: Re: The Oct. 3 KTW story detailing city council’s reaction to proposed changes in operation by Canada Post (‘City council mailing its concerns’): I think it should be noted this reduction in Canada Post services came right after our local Conservative MP, Cathy McLeod, sent a message encouraging Canada Post to cut services in her riding. What MP actively works against the best interests of her riding? Hundred of businesses and thousands of citizens will now be lined up out the door. How is that supposed to encourage people to use Canada Post? It should also be noted revenues for the Canada Post Group of Companies has been relatively even for the last three years, belying the statements in the article. Kamloops citizens might also be interested to know 52 federal post-office jobs have been eliminated since McLeod was first elected — and without a word from her. Didn’t she run on a jobs platform last election? Maybe it should have been a no-jobs platform. Bob Mitchell president Canadian Union of Postal Workers Local 758 Kamloops

Former mayor Gaglardi cited Japanese ‘industry’ X From A1

“The twinning will help to open the doors to Japanese industrial organizations, bringing tremendous strength to Kamloops. The Japanese are aggressive with their technology and need to find new room for industry,” then-mayor Phil Gaglardi told KTW in 1990, after a Canada Day celebration made the sister-city relationship official. Milobar said that generally hasn’t been the case, noting that, rather than industry, it’s human capital the relationship has brought to Kamloops. “Certainly we see kids from Uji going to [Thompson Rivers University] on a regular basis,” he said. According to TRU, 10 students with addresses in Uji have

enrolled at the university since 2010. Milobar said looking at all 23 years of the relationship, the number of students is tangible. “I think it was one of the stepping stones TRU had when they were in the infancy of their whole international program,” he said. Mostly, Milobar said, the exchange is about introducing Kamloopsians to another culture — and vice-versa. Uji sends a delegation of students to the city every summer via a highly competitive exchange program. Kamloops in turn sends two to three young adults to work as assistant English teachers in the Uji Junior High School District on two-year contracts, with the option to stay and work for lon-

ger if they so choose. Both cities have sent a mix of performing-arts groups and local sports teams across the Pacific over the years. “There’s a lot of long-term friendships and interconnectedness that do get created out of this as well,” Milobar said. This will be the mayor’s fifth trip to Uji and his second as mayor. This time around, Milobar said, he’s mainly going to meet Uji’s new mayor, Tadashi Yamamoto. “He’s new as of December,” Milobar said. “Previous to that, Mayor Kubota has seen four different mayors from the City of Kamloops. It’ll be interesting to see what he’s like.” The delegation returns to Kamloops on Oct. 19.

That old hearing aid can still do so much good

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Bill Austin wanted to study medicine, but a parttime job he took when he was 19 — back in 1961 — changed the direction of his life. Now, at the age of 71, the owner of Starkey Laboratories — one of the world’s leading developer of hearing aids — travels the world through his foundation, helping people with hearing loss. Jan Alexandre, who owns Kamloops Hearing Aid Centre with husband Blaine, went on one of those foundation trips recently and the experience left the couple determined to do what they can to help further Austin’s work. She went to Honduras with the foundation — dealers who take part pay their own way — and was part of a team that fit more than 4,000 hearing aids for children and adults. Some of the hearing aids are donations that have been refurbished, while others are bought by the foundation, Alexandre said. The trip had its own memorable moments, all of them involving the simple experience of a person who has lived with hearing loss suddenly being able to hear again. Alexandre said it’s been Austin’s mission to do whatever he can to help people hear, a goal that has seen his foundation travel to virtually every country in the world. In August, for example, the foundation, accompanied by former U.S. president Bill Clinton and his daughter Chelsea, distributed aids to people throughout Rwanda. The foundation reports that, in the past year, it has fit more than 165,000 hearing aids. Alexandre said her company plans to donate a portion of sales from each device it sells for the next year and is also starting a campaign to collect old hearing aids. Even ones that no longer work will be accepted, she said, because they can be scavenged for parts to put together with other non-working devices to create an aid that works. People who want to drop off any old hearing devices they have can do so at the Kamloops Hearing Aid Centre, at 414 Arrowstone Dr., behind Sahali Mall. The centre is open Mondays to Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Councillors ditch paper for iPads By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Four Kamloops city councillors are hauling a lot less paper to meetings this fall. As part of a city pilot project, councillors Nancy Bepple, Donovan Cavers, Tina Lange and Ken Christian have ditched their binders full of printed staff reports and agendas for iPads loaded with an app from Kamloops-based tech company iCompass. Rather than sending the city’s courier service to their homes with meeting agendas, as is the norm, corporate services director David Duckworth said staff load information into the app for councillors to access via wifi. The iPad experiment launched at the beginning of October, and is costing the city about $2,400,

Duckworth said. That’s less than what the cost of delivering the paper agendas alone, which Duckworth estimates at about $2,500 a year. Printing the agendas costs about another $27,500 a year. “We probably print out in the order of 60 agendas every council meeting, and that includes all committee meetings and everything too,” Duckworth said. “That’s just the cost of printing. The paper, the ink and the staff to do the printing.” While the program seems to be a hit with councillors — Christian has already decorated his device with a Kami the Fish sticker — Duckworth said the bigger test is whether the iCompass software will work right for staff who prepare the files. The pilot is set to last at least four months.

A prominent local BC Conservative is throwing his weight behind a Nechako Lakes businessman in the race to lead the party. Al Forseth said he’ll be endorsing leadership candidate Dan Brooks and managing his campaign. Forseth said Brooks’ small business background is an advantage, as is his plan to bring dissenting members who fell out with the Conservatives over John Cummins’ leadership last year. “He’s impressed me as someone who can bring unity to the party and clearly articulate with passion what we hope to accomplish, not just within the party itself but for all of British Columbia,” Forseth said. Forseth, a regional director for the party and past constituency president, previously managed Kamloops-South Thompson Conservative candidate Peter Sharp’s campaign in the May provincial election. Sharp came third of four.

If plans proceed as intended, Grade 12 students from across the Kamloops-Thompson school district will converge on the Henry Grube Education Centre next month with one goal in mind. It’s spelled W-I-N. As part of the requirements at school, Rachel Wade is organizing a spelling bee for the graduating classes and she’s well on her way to making it a success. That’s her goal because, as a student in the International Baccalaureate program at NorKam secondary, she has to do a project for its creative action service component. The spelling bee would cover creative and service, Rachel said, because, with the entrance fees she would charge, her plan is to buy a book for every kindergarten student in the school district. Rachel has the venue booked and has found a sponsor to pay the janitorial fees she must cover. The district administration has

given its blessing and she’s been in contact with all of the schools. Next up is finding a sponsor who will pay for a trophy the winning team can display in their school until next year, when Rachel hopes the bee would be held again — although she’s in Grade 12, so someone else might have to take it on. Rachel is also hoping for sponsors to provide some food and, if necessary, to cover the costs of transportation for rural students. Entrance fees for the secondary schools are based on the number of kindergarten students in each of their feeder schools, a system Rachel said she chose to make it fair for smaller secondary schools. Once logistics are worked out for rural schools, a date will be set, but there’s already plenty of enthusiasm, she said, with her own school putting together two teams ready to compete. Anyone who wants to help sponsor the project can reach Rachel by email at remw@telus.net.

Youth unite against youth homelessness By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kristin Tilbury isn’t used to being viewed as the older person. And, at 24, it’s understandable since her teen years aren’t that far behind her. She’s comfortable in her big-sister role, she said, because the teens she is working with are teaching her about a reality she has never experienced — homelessness. The group — Youth Against Youth Homelessness — is part of the city’s Homelessness Action Plan volunteers, people who are working with agencies and government to develop strategies to reduce homelessness. Kamloops and Kingston were the first two cities to establish a youth working group through funding provided by a nation-wide program, Mobilizing Local Capacity to End Youth Homelessness, said Carmin Mazotta, the city’s project manager for housing and homelessness. Tilbury saw an ad earlier this year looking for youth between the ages of 13 and 24 to get involved and, as the

E T A V O N ! NOW FALL

Out of the Cold program with which she had been volunteering had just shut down, she applied. The goal, Mazotta said, is to have youth identify strategies that could help others like them and then write a plan. That wasn’t enough, so Tilbury, along with others, recently spent some time at the Lansdowne Street bus depot talking about the subject for a video that will be shown later this month during Homelessness Awareness Week. The video is one of four documentaries that will be shown during the Homelessness Action Week, Oct. 13 to Oct. 19. It will join Community Roots, which looks at the New Life Mission, and Bevel Up, which focuses on nurses who work in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. The films will be screened at Paramount Theatre, 503 Victoria St., on Wednesday, Oct. 16, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Admission is free, but donations of canned foods, hygiene items or warm clothing will be accepted to be distributed on Friday, Oct. 18, during Project Connect, an event that is replacing the annual count of homeless in Kamloops. The event will be focused at Spirit Square on the North Shore and will include a free barbecue and distribution of donated items. Homelessness Action Plan co-ordinator Tangie Genshorek said anyone who can provide a service — haircuts or manicures, for example — is welcome to also take part during the event, which runs from noon to 5 p.m.

The obituary for Tina Baptiste, who died in February 2010, ends with a simple sentiment: “Wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories.” If she was here, Baptiste would see the beautiful memories that can and will be made in downtown suites that now bear her name. And, the long-time advocate for low-income and homeless people would not fail to see the symbolism in her name joining that of Henry Leland, a man she thought of as a brother and another Kamloops resident who died young and whose name another housing unit in the downtown area now carries. The Tina Baptiste Suites are 11 units at 80 Third Ave., a project that brought together the Kelson Group, which owns the building, and the ASK Wellness Centre, which runs it. Although people have been living in the suites above stores for months, it was officially opened earlier this month. ASK executive direc-

tor Bob Hughes said he decided it was time to let the community in on the project his agency has been involved with since before Baptiste’s death. “It was absolutely a no-brainer to name it for her,” Hughes said, noting Baptiste’s family agreed. Hughes said the area wasn’t worth showing for a long time — and definitely wasn’t worth any outside eyes when renovation work began. Floors needed to be repaired, as did the roof. The “suites” were little more than walls housing wreckage. Hughes praised the partnership with Kelson Group and, in particular, vice-president Jason Fawcett. “He’s wonderful,” Hughes said. “He looks and acts like a traditional businessman . . . but he’s prepared to take risks when it works.” Fawcett said his company replaced the roof and windows, added a bathroom and put air-conditioning in each unit. He said the decision came down to closing off the second floor or finding a partner who could also manage it — and he was impressed

with the work ASK has done. “We have made a small profit from it,” Fawcett said. “And we wanted to add to the housing stock in the city and it was an opportunity to provide an opportunity for people who may not be ready for the other apartments we have.” Hughes is confident the right tenants are in

the three one-bedroom and eight single-room units. “With the diversity of inventory we have, we’ve gotten so good at knowing who will succeed and we get the right people,” he said. Hughes is delighted the project came together with no government money, which can often not be enough and which has plenty of bureaucratic requirements.

New South Kam in SD73 plans Stories by Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

As KamloopsThompson school district Supt. Terry Sullivan explained, there’s plenty of empty space in school buildings throughout the city — it’s just not all in one location. Faced with an aging inventory of buildings, that’s posing a problem the school district will be grappling with in coming years. Valleyview secondary, once a junior high, but now with classes from grades 8 to 12, is full, Sullivan said. “And we can’t do

anything more there.” An addition is possible at Sa-Hali secondary, he said, but, the biggest issue facing the board is what to do with South Kamloops secondary (SKSS) and the adjacent Beattie School of the Arts secondary campus in the former John Peterson building. It started with the gym, Sullivan said, which needs to be replaced. “Say that takes about five years to do,” Sullivan said, “and then we have a new gym in a 60-year-old building. That doesn’t make sense.” What does make

TERRY SULLIVAN: Lots of empty space — just not all in one place.

sense is to replace the school and, in its capital-works budget, the board has earmarked $43 million to do that. Renovation costs at the John Peterson building to bring in elementary grades to create a kindergarten-

to-Grade 12 fine-arts school are an estimated $1.7 million. “We need assistance for this,” Sullivan said of replacing SKSS, noting local MLAs are being lobbied for support to receive provincial funding. “It’s too big for us to take on on our own,” Sullivan said. It took years of lobbying to receive funding for the NorKam secondary trades and technology centre of excellence, for which the government provided $6.3 million. A new SKSS would have to include more classrooms to plan for the future,

Sullivan said. The board is also grappling with elementary enrolment in the Westmount/Batchelor area and, while it owns land for a possible school in Batchelor, Sullivan said it makes no sense to do that and see students now attending Westmount elementary simply relocate, leaving empty classrooms there. Instead, he said, the board is considering an addition to Westmount. The discussion will continue at a November board meeting, when a report on school boundaries and catchment areas will be presented.

School enrolment down slightly Anticipating school enrolment each year is always a guessing game, based a bit on population projections, a look at how many were in classrooms last year and some basic instinct honed through years of going through the same calculation. When they were planning for the 2013-2014 school year, school administrators projected a decrease of 227 full-time equivalent (FTE) students in secondary schools — and KamloopsThompson school district Supt. Terry Sullivan said he was delighted to learn they were off, with the figure now set

at 205 fewer FTEs. Rather than actual bodies, the board uses FTEs because some students take more than a full load of courses, while others take fewer classes. At the elementary level, the FTE is up 57 from last year, leaving the district with an overall FTE decrease of 148 students. In reality, what that means is there are about 14,000 students going to classes and, when the district’s growing distance-learning program is factored in, the total comes in at about 14,600, Sullivan said.

School-board funding is based on the number of students enrolled. Declining enrolment was one of the reasons the district found itself closing three schools and reconfiguring others in 2009. Sullivan said a report on school boundaries will be coming to the board next month and will likely only address one closure — the McGill campus of Beattie School of the Arts. The plan is to turn Beattie’s John Peterson campus into a kindergarten to Grade 12 school, something Sullivan said he hopes will be possible in the next two or three years.

Overlooked ﬁeld of social psychology We form our attitudes and beliefs intentionally and unintentionally

OCIAL psychology studies how our society and rules impact our thoughts and behaviour, both as individuals and as a group. Social psychologists can explain why a sample of the Kamloops population would show 90 per cent of them would never consider committing a criminal act, but half of them smoke marijuana, which is a criminal offense. Intrigued yet? Here are a few things social psychology has unearthed and is talking about — and this is a peek over their shoulders, just for fun: • As a group, people tend to assign good fortune to internal factors within them, whereas they attribute bad luck to forces outside of them.

While renovations were moving forward, staff at Hotel 540 were often asked when the new pool and patio area would be open for the public to check it out. The answer, said hotel general manager Bryan Pilbeam, was simple: “Check into a room.” While it was said with tongue firmly in cheek, the reality is the new section on the second level of the Victoria Street hotel is open only for guests — except for on Thursday, Oct. 17, when it will be accessible to anyone who wants to take part in a fundraiser

GLOBAL VIEWS

It’s the feedbacks, stupid

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH

• SAVE $$$ • SAVE $$$ • SAVE $$$ •

that human emissions of greenhouse gases were contributing to global warming. The Third Assessment, published in 2001, raised the likelihood to 66 per cent. The Fourth Assessment, in 2007, upped the ante to 90 per cent, and the Fifth Assessment says 95 per cent. But, how do you make a headline out of that? How much warming? How fast? And with what effects on human beings? The latest report will run, in its final version, to 3,000 pages and the answers are buried among the statistics. What would Carville do? He’d say, “It’s the feedbacks, stupid.” Without the feedbacks, we could go on burning fossil fuels and cutting down the forests and the average global temperature would creep up gradually, but so slowly that most of the inhabited parts of the planet would stay livable for a long time. But, if we trigger the feedbacks, the whole thing goes awry. The feedbacks are natural sources of warming that we activate by raising the average global temperature

just a modest amount with our own greenhouse-gas emissions. The consensus number used to be 2 C, but some scientists now argue the real threshold may be as low as 1.5 C. There are three main feedbacks. As the highly reflective ice and snow that cover most of the polar regions melts, the rate at which the sun’s heat is absorbed goes up steeply over a large part of the planet. We are creating a new warming engine that will shift the planet’s heat balance and, once it has started, we can’t turn it off again. There is reason to believe it’s already too late to avoid this one. The protective covering of floating ice that has shielded the Arctic Ocean from solar heating for so long is now going fast — and we will probably see an ice-free Arctic Ocean in the August-September period as early as the 2020s. Mercifully, this is the smallest of the three major feedbacks in terms of its impact — but it triggers a bigger one. The warmer air and water in the Arctic then starts to melt the permanently frozen ground and coastal seabed (permafrost) that extends over more than 10-million square kilometres of territory, a considerably larger area than Australia. This melting releases a huge amount of methane that has been locked into the ground for millions of years.

Methane is a far more effective warming agent than carbon dioxide. Finally, the oceans, as they warm, release some of the vast quantities of carbon dioxide they absorbed in the past, simply because warmer water can contain less dissolved gas. Most of the excess heat in the Earth’s system has been going into the oceans during the past few decades, which is why the rise in land temperatures seems to have slowed down. But, that is no real consolation. It only means the biggest feedback is also being activated. Those are the killer feedbacks. Earth has lurched suddenly into a climate 5 to 6 C higher than now a number of times in the past. The original warming usually came from massive, long-lasting volcanic eruptions that put a large amount of CO2 into the atmosphere. However, in every case, it was feedbacks like these that carried the planet up into a temperature regime where there was a massive dieback of animals and plants. We are the volcanoes now. Our own emissions would take a long time to get us up to really high average temperatures worldwide, but all we have to do is pull the trigger on the feedbacks. The rest is automatic. gwynnedyer.com

AMPAIGN strategist James Carville coined the phrase, “It’s the economy, stupid,” to focus the attention of campaign workers on the one key issue that would get Bill Clinton elected president in the 1992 U.S. election. Alas, the authors of the Fifth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have no such sage to guide them. They’ll have to make do with me. The 800-odd authors of the report are selected by their fellow scientists in the various disciplines relevant to climate change as the acknowledged leaders in their field of study. Their job was to review all 14,000 scientific papers on climate change published in the past five years. And they are doing this work at the behest of the world’s governments, not as some random pressure group — it is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Scientists are very cautious people. They won’t go one millimetre beyond what the evidence makes indisputable, knowing they will be attacked by rival scientists if they do. They are much more comfortable talking about probabilities rather than certainties. They are, in other words, a nightmare for journalists who have to transmit their findings to the world. Of the nearly 100 scientists I have interviewed on climate change over the past five years, not one doubted global warming is a big and frightening problem. Indeed, there was often an undercurrent of panic in their remarks. But, when it comes to writing official reports, they retreat into science-speak. So, the Second Assessment of the IPCC, published in 1995, said it was more than 50 per cent likely

B.C. will continue to get warmer Climate change will likely mean warmer, rainier winters in B.C. and reduced summer stream flows, according to new international findings. Francis Zwiers, director of the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium, and vice-chair of the

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change working group 1, said projections for B.C. point to further warming of 2.9 C in the winter and 2.4 C in the summer by 2100, under a moderate carbon-emission scenario. • Read the full story online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

Rise Up Slowly . . . Rise up slowly, Angel. Do not leave me here, alone, Where the warmth of mortal essence Lies replaced by cold, hard stone.

Wrap me in a downy cape Of sunshine, warm with love, And kiss a tear-stained mother’s face With moonlight from above.

Rise up slowly, Angel. I cannot let you go. Just drift softly ‘midst the faces, In sorrow now bent low.

Speak to me in breezes, Whispered through the drying leaves, And caress my brow with raindrops Filtered by the sheltering trees.

Then, wait for me at sunset, Beside the lily pond, And guide me safely homeward To your world, which lies beyond.

Ease the searing anger, ..... Born in harsh, unyielding truth That Death could steal my loved one From the glowing blush of youth.

Rise up slowly, Angel, For I cannot hear the song Which calls you through the shadows Into the light beyond.

Just spread your arms to take me In reunion’s sweet embrace, And we shall soar, together, To a different time and place.

Reserving the right to rumble By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

HOSE IN KAMLOOPS’ JUNIOR HOCKEY RANKS ARE READY TO SHED THE MITTS IN DEFENCE OF FIGHTING. With more and more antifighting sentiment growing in the hockey world — the most recent discussion resulting from the scary George Parros injury that stemmed from a tilt with Colton Orr — KTW decided to find out where the city’s two junior teams, the major-junior Blazers

and the junior B Storm, weighed in on the matter. To get an opinion from someone who might be sympathetic to the idea of separating pugilism from puck, Blazer forward Aspen Sterzer was asked if fighting belonged in the game. Dropping the gloves is not a part of Sterzer’s repertoire — he doesn’t like fighting — and, more importantly, he has incurred multiple concussions in his career, which would likely be in jeopardy if he suffered another. “If you take that out of the game, you’re going to have guys looking to catch guys in vulner-

able spots just to get payback, which is a lot more risky and there are a lot more injuries with that than with fighting,” said Sterzer, whose only career WHL fight occurred when he was jumped by Dylan Walchuk of the Spokane Chiefs on Feb. 1, 2012. “They’re brutal and they’re horrible, but it’s part of the game. “It’s a rough and tumble game that we play and that we love and you just can’t take fighting out of the game.” Sterzer quickly polled the Blazers’ dressing room and, to a man, each of the Blazers were pro-fighting.

It was hardly a scientific survey, with the potential for peer pressure playing a role in the vote, but it was unanimous, nonetheless. Of those KTW asked, Sterzer’s response was among the most reserved in its support for keeping fighting in the game. Ed Patterson has played in the NHL, the WHL and a plethora of leagues in between. He’s danced in his fair share of donnybrooks. Now the Storm’s head coach, the Calgary product has zero sympathy for members of the anti-fighting public. “If you don’t have [fight-

ing], you have dirty hits, you have slashing and cheap shots and, with fights, sometimes you have the odd thing go wrong,” Patterson said in reference to the Parros incident, noting the Montreal forward’s injury was not the result of a punch. “But, why do we have looting when there’s hurricanes and the police can’t get out there?” Patterson asked. “It’s obviously on a smaller scale, but it’s the same concept — if you don’t have someone keeping the law in tact, then things get out of hand.” X See STRONG A28

Strong pro-ďŹ ghting sentiment across Kamloops junior-hockey landscape X From A27

Patterson continued with the Boys in Blue analogy, comparing police brutality to the instances when serious injury results from fighting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re rare and unfortunate, but they are a by-product of something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a necessity, he said. How many members of the Storm would like to see scraps disappear? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not one,â&#x20AC;? Patterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask anyone to fight, but we ask guys to finish checks and play physical and, when things happen, they happen. Even the smallest guy on our team wants a strong individual on his team that can stand up for him.â&#x20AC;? Hockey Hall of Famer Steve Yzerman recently told TSNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Darren Dreger the NHL should seriously look at eliminating fighting from the game and

harsher penalties, such as game misconducts, should be adopted. Yzermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice carries great weight in the hockey world but, when it comes to fisticuffs, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to carry much clout with Blazer D-man Sam Grist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know what Stevie Y is talking about,â&#x20AC;? said Grist, a 6-foot-5 blue-liner who has 18 WHL fights under his belt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of a fighter himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gets the boys going, it gives a spark for the club and I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a fan if they took it out.â&#x20AC;? Grist added there is no place for the designated goon in hockey and he admitted concussions and serious injuries do result from exchanging blows, but, like everyone else KTW spoke with, he said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just part of the game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; part of the game many

fans love. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fans stand up and cheer when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a goal and fans stand up and cheer when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fight,â&#x20AC;? Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; associate coach Mark Ferner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only professional team sport that allows it and I think that makes it a little bit unique.â&#x20AC;? Ferner can understand how it might look barbaric, especially to those unfamiliar with the game, and he said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite possible fighting might some day be eliminated from hockey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, at the same time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in place now and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a place for it for sure,â&#x20AC;? Ferner said. In 2012, the Ontario Hockey League took a step toward eliminating full-time enforcers from its ranks by implementing suspensions for players who chuck the knuckles more than 10 times in a season.

The WHL did not follow suit. In the Stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s league, the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, fighting leads to a game misconduct and, if the tilt occurs in the last 10 minutes of the game, an automatic one-game suspension. Fighting is cause for an automatic one-game suspension in the WHL when a player takes an instigator penalty inside the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last five minutes. Staged fights have been cracked down on with harsh repercussions in both local junior leagues. Don Schulz is head coach of the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack, which plays in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League. Schulz said the KIJHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fighting rules, also adhered to in the BCIHL, are appropriate

Tanner LeSann (left) of the Swift Current Broncos squares off with Ryan Rehill of the Kamloops Blazers in WHL action at Interior Savings Cente. KTW file photo

for the junior B and collegiate ranks. As for completely nixing fighting, Schulz is as old-school as it gets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes I feel that the do-gooders should just leave the game alone,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The game is fine and, if anything, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten faster and more entertaining and, is

fighting happening as much as it used to in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s? No. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most fights result in little or no injury. The tendency is, and you see it even in minor hockey when you take out bodychecking, typically the stick work gets a lot worse.â&#x20AC;?

Help Elli get to Sochi If Elli Terwiel is going to qualify for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, she needs to perform well for Alpine Canada. In order to do that, she needs to raise $15,000, Alpine Canada’s required fees, which allows Terwiel to race on the World Cup circuit. Terwiel needs help to raise the money. She is hosting a dry-land training session at Sun Peaks Resort in the village square on Sunday, Oct. 13. The session gets underway at 3 p.m. and she will be accepting donations. Donations can also be made at makeachamp.com/ elliterwiel. At 24, her athletic journey includes coming back from potentially career-ending injuries, being tempo-

rarily dropped from Alpine Canada’s team, balancing pursuing a degree in engineering at the University of Vermont with a professional ski-racing career, along with the consistent need for fundraising. Terwiel last winter had her most successful season, with two 17th-place finishes and a 23rd-place finish at World Cup events. “I am the strongest and most powerful that I have ever been,” Terwiel said. “I’ve had very successful on-snow camps this summer where I progressed immensely in my skiing, as well as great success in the gym. I am skiing faster than I ever have before.” Sun Peaks’ annual turkey sale will be held from Saturday, Oct. 12, to Sunday, Oct. 14, with skis, snowboards and outerwear on sale.

there’s just too many drops to count, too many to ignore. BCUOMA is a not-for-proﬁt organization that encourages British Columbians to responsibly recycle used oil, oil ﬁlters, oil containers, used antifreeze and antifreeze containers. Since the launch of the program in 2003, British Columbians have done an exceptional job of recycling their used oil materials.

ONE DROP MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

BCUOMA is expanding its successful ambassador program this summer – with two teams of ambassadors touring the province to educate and raise awareness of the importance of used oil and antifreeze recycling. By recycling your used oil and antifreeze products, you’re playing an important role in preserving our environment for future generations.

Boeing Boeing is ‘that funny’ By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

F EVERYTHING GOES according to plan, chaos and mayhem will erupt at Sagebrush Theatre this week.

People will fall — often — and doors will be opened and slammed. People will come and go, ideally never meeting each other. Behind it all will be the juggling of best friends Bernard and

Robert — and behind all of it will be Daryl Cloran, also trying to keep every ball up in the air as he directs the farce Boeing Boeing. X See ONE-WEEK B3

NOW IS THE

TIME TO SWITCH! Western Canada Theatre a busy place Things are pretty crazy right now at Western Canada Theatre — and it’s not just the zaniness of the upcoming production of Boeing Boeing. While rehearsals continue for its opening on Saturday, Oct. 12, work is being done for the annual holiday big production by WCT. This year, it’s Les Miserables and artistic director Daryl Cloran, who will also direct the production, agreed there are people in the city who think he may be a bit nuts. “I’m just digging into the script,” Cloran said, “and making an enormous casting chart” for the play that tells many small stories from the release of convict Jean Valjean to the death of Fantine, to Valjean rescuing Fantine’s daughter, to the students who man the barricades during the French Revolution. Cloran said he’s confident the set

itself will come together well, with Cory Sincennes in charge. He did the set design for last year’s WCT presentation of Where the Blood Mixes and, Cloran said, has a good sense of vision. The theatre is also preparing for its presentation of Jack and the Bean, one of its special events aimed at families and, in particular, children ages three to eight. It opens the day Boeing Boeing closes and has performances for the public on Oct. 19 and Oct. 20 at Pavilion Theatre. Cloran said school matinee performances of the new spin on the old fable are filling up quickly. Workshops are also being held for the High-Wire Festival, a new event on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 that provides an opportunity for local artists to showcase their work at Pavilion Theatre. — Dale Bass

One-week run begins this weekend at Sagebrush X From B2

The play, written in French and translated and performed in English since 1962, tells the story of Bernard, a Parisian architect and a man who, well let’s say he likes the ladies. He’s engaged to three women, each a stewardess for a different airline and each on schedules that ensure they never encounter each other at Bernard’s apartment. There’s Gretchen, a German, Gabriella, an Italian, and Gloria, an American. Then there’s Robert, Bernard’s buddy who arrives for a visit. Overseeing it all is Bertha, Bernard’s housekeeper, whose job it is to change the photographs of the woman as they visit, making sure everything fits whichever fiancee is visiting. Add to the mix a new Boeing that flies faster, new schedules for the women and you have a play that, when staged in Ontario earlier this year with the cast coming to Kamloops, “the audience wasblown away by it,” said

Cloran, the artistic director for Western Canada Theatre. “They couldn’t believe how funny it is.” Opening the play in Ontario at the Thousand Islands Playhouse in Gananoque came about through a partnership between the two theatres. It’s something Cloran is doing more and more of with WCT, sharing the costs and the casts between the River City and other communities. This cast brings back Kirk Smith (Robert) and Anita Wittenberg (Bertha), but introduces Kamloopsians to Brett Christopher (Bernard), Kirsta Colosimo (Gabriella), Tess Degenstein (Gretchen) and Alison Deon (Gloria). Cloran said he sees nothing but positives from sharing productions, benefits that go beyond the financial. It not only exposes Kamloopsians to new performers, but introduces theatres in Ontario, where Cloran does much of his programming shares, to the talent from here. In fact, he said, both Smith

and Wittenberg have landed roles as a result of WCT productions heading east. Boeing Boeing is all physical humour, Cloran said — “I don’t think there’s a surface Kirk doesn’t fall over” — but that makes it very technical for the actors. One missed step and that slamming door might smash into a face, he said. “They all really have to hit their marks.” Cloran said he had to trim some of the script to have it meet a two-hour (including intermission) limit, but he doesn’t think anyone will notice the changes. “And the time just flies by,” he said. “It’s that funny.” The play opens on Saturday, Oct. 12, at Sagebrush Theatre. Previews run Thursday, Oct. 10, and Friday, Oct. 11. The run ends on Oct. 19 and there are no Sunday performances. Tickets are available at the Kamloops Live Box Office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Printing workshop at KAG The Kamloops Art Gallery is hosting a workshop on minibook printing and binding. Coinciding with Monumental Ideas in Miniature Books, an exhibition of books made by artists, the workshop will provide an introduction to creating handmade books. It will be led by Kamloopsbased artist Darlene Kalynka, who will discuss forms including “instant” and “accordion.” Kalynka is an associate professor at Thompson Rivers University who teaches printmaking. With a bachelor in fine arts from the University of Alberta and a master’s degree from Montreal’s Concordia University, Kalynka has exhibited her books and other print-based works in exhibitions nationally and internationally. She has participated in a number of artist residences, including stints at the Banff Centre, Toronto’s Open Studio, GAU in the Netherlands and Kloster Bentlage in Germany. The workshop will run from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26, at the Kamloops Art Gallery, 465 Victoria St.. All ages are welcome, all materials are provided and there is no fee.

Life changes often dictate different mortgage strategies: are you starting or growing a family, starting a business, experiencing loss or interruption of income, planning home renovations, purchasing investment property or facing other major expenditures? A mortgage review can assess if your current mortgage’s interest rate, payments and options will help reach your goals. Low interest rates make it a good time for homeowners to give their mortgage a second look. Here are some common reasons to revisit your mortgage:

Young writer? Enter this

The Vancouver Writers Fest is launching a new writing contest open to young writers across B.C. Winners of the contest will be awarded a cash prize and have their work published in a magazine that showcases aspiring young writers. For the last 15 years, the Writers Fest has run a successful poetry and short-story contest for writers of all ages. Last year, more than 340 entries were received from around the world. The new contest is restricted to only those writers enrolled in grades 8 to 12 in B.C., which will give young aspiring writers a better chance of winning. Just like the established poetry and short-story contest, the Spreading the Word Youth Writing Contest will accept entries of poetry, with a 500word limit, and creative short fic-

tion, with a 1,500-word limit. The work must be previously unpublished in each category. First prize in each category is $300, with a second-prize award of $200. Prize winners, selected by a panel of publishing and writing professionals, will be published in The Claremont Review and on the Vancouver Writers Fest website at writersfest.bc.ca. Closing date for entries is 5 p.m. on the final day of the Vancouver Writers Fest, Sunday, Oct. 27. Students can enter online at writersfest.bc.ca/youthwritingcontest. Spreading the Word, the Vancouver Writers Fest’s schools program, offers K-12 students and teachers the rare opportunity to engage with internationally renowned writers at the Festival and in the classroom.

The Annual Mortgage Check-up For many Canadians, a mortgage is a once-every-ﬁve-year-chore. Fears about rates, costs and changes make this as enjoyable as paying taxes. However, a mortgage should be a tool to help you reach your goals, and that means planning.

I HAVE A PET, AND WE NEED A HOME... The BC SPCA believes that if landlords were aware of the signiﬁcant beneﬁts of pet-friendly housing, they would be more inclined to offer it. For more information, visit http://www.spca.bc.ca/welfare/campaign-issues/pets-in-rental-housing.html

•Paying down your mortgage faster: If you receive extra cash like an inheritance, tax refund or a work bonus, think about putting it toward your mortgage. For example, paying an extra $3,000 once every year toward the principal on a $250,000 mortgage can result in interest savings of $42,442 over the life of the mortgage, assuming a 25-year amortization and a fixed rate of 4.19%. •Lowering monthly payments: Renegotiating for a lower interest rate or higher amortization can protect your finances from unforeseen expenses, reduced income, and allow you to save up a rainy day fund. •Debt consolidation: Boost your cash flow or pay down your debt faster by taking high interest debt like a credit card balance and consolidating it into your mortgage. Your debt moves from multiple high payments, into one lower mortgage payment. Most lenders allow extra payments of 20% per year, so pay more when you have more! •Securing a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): A HELOC can help you access lower-cost funds for investing, such as topping up your RRSP or TFSA contribution. It can also help you pay for home improvement projects or just be available for peace of mind. •Improving credit: A mortgage professional can discuss any credit concerns or issues and coach you on how to improve your credit score. Good credit advice can help you work toward cheaper future borrowing costs and better mortgage options. •Identifying concerns: Mortgages are supposed to work for you. If you are unsure about specific mortgage functions or benefits, an annual check-up can be a great time to discuss concerns, learn how to set up extra payments, change your payment date and more. In the end, a yearly mortgage checkup could reveal that the best course of action is no change at all… there is satisfaction in knowing that as well! Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today.

PARADE OF PINK Kamloops Dodge general manager David Jacobs is getting ready for a parade of pink on Saturday, Oct. 12, when the Valleyview dealership continues to raise money for breast-cancer research. Visitors to the dealership at 2525 East Trans-Canada Hwy. have a chance to win two tickets to the upcoming Pink concert in Vancouver. They can also donate to “beat the crap out of cancer” by taking a sledgehammer to a pink minivan, enjoy a barbecue and pink candy floss and meet TRU cheerleaders. In addition, $100 from every vehicle sold that day will be donated to cancer research. Dave Eagles/KTW

Those things that go bump in the night

T’S OUR WORST NIGHTMARE. Late in the night, when the doors are locked and windows closed and all should be quiet, there’s a noise. It starts as an almost unheard shift in a shelter of protection that’s as thin and fragile as an onion — as breakable as a twig smashing through a spider’s web. It’s as though something menacing and large has begun to break free of its daytime restraints and is now free to wreak havoc on the sleeping and the sleepless. It’s the monster. The intruder. The bump in the night. From our bed in the basement in the house we’re sleeping in, I hear it. I’m the insomniac, never sleeping and always listening. So, when that quick percussion of snap-snap-snap rips through the quieted fabric of deep night, I sit up and hold my breath. “Is there a spider,” Chefhusband asks from the place where he’s still dreaming. “Need me to kill it?” With the turn in the weather, the spiders and the beetles and the centipedes have been scuttling and creeping over door jambs whenever an opportunity opens. They’ve been finding cracks in the fortress of caulking and rubber seals meant to keep them out. A wolf spider in the shower. A black widow with her hourglass belly in the shadow beneath the window. Tonight’s noise is no spider. Not unless she’s Shelob. “You shouldn’t snack at night, it gives you nightmares,” says Chefhusband, not knowing the danger he’s suddenly in. And then C-r-r-a-a-ck! goes a sound that is definitely not in

Pumpkin Spice Crème Brulèes 1 1/2 cups pumpkin purée 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg 1/4 tsp. ground ginger 1 cup whipping cream 1 cup milk 8 large egg yolks 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar Place 8 6-oz ramekins in shallow baking pans and set aside. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin purée and spices. In a small, heavy-bottomed pot, heat cream until steaming. Whisk egg yolks together with brown sugar. Slowly whisk in heated cream. Add to pumpkin mixture and whisk until smooth. Pour into ramekins and pour hot water into pans, halfway up sides of ramekins. Set pans into a 350 F oven and bake for about 35 minutes, until the edges are set, centre is jiggly and a knife inserted into custard comes out creamy (about 35 minutes). Remove pans from oven and ramekins from water baths. Cool on racks, then cover and chill two hours. Pat custards dry. Sprinkle tops with sugar and, holding a brulèe torch so end of flame touches sugar, heat until sugar bubbles and turns dark amber.

the house yet, but is in the yard, is gathering momentum and has chosen its point of entry. DARCIE HOSSACK I think of the people Bon upstairs APPÉTIT and wonder how to warn them, but it’s too late. Because, suddenly, even the unwary are up and feet are searching for their slippers. “Do you think we need the

police?” I ask, my whisper a loud rasp in my own ears. After all, I think, trying to shrink the terror down to a different size, it could be a racoon. It could be a skunk or a dog or a hobgoblin. It could be a sleepwalker or a jail breaker or an evildoer or an orc. “Just let me look first,” says Chefhusband, who’s never been bothered by things that go bump — or even the things that don’t. “Just look out the window,” I say, all the little hairs on my arm and behind my neck standing

in rigid rows. “Don’t go out.” But, before he can do one or the other, there is a great and calamitous bump. A bump and a crash that breaks through siding and studs and drywall, leaving a hole where an outside wall used to be, before it continues on its terrible way. Seconds pass and then minutes. And, in the quiet that follows, the whole neighbourhood makes its way outside, us along with them, standing in our night

clothes, wearing stunned expressions as we all look at the swath of destruction that began at the top of a terraced garden, tore through a flowerbed, a lawn, the side of the house we were sleeping in, through the fence, across the street, before finally stopping, dead and smashed to bits, against an immovable tree. No one called the police. Instead, in soups and stew and pies and muffins and custards, we feasted upon the monster’s remains. onepotato2potato@shaw.ca

BACK TO SCHOOL: Healthy eating for a successful year

It is a new school year and research suggests that children who eat nutritious foods do better at school. Here are a few tips to make healthy eating part of your back to school plan: Start the day off right: Eating first thing in the morning helps children to be more alert during the school day. Putting the toaster on the counter, pulling out the cereal and setting bowls, plates and cutlery on the table the night before can help busy families find time to eat in the morning. Sick of cereal and toast? Try poached eggs and cheese on a wholewheat English muffin, oatmeal topped with walnuts and strawberries or a yogurt, granola and fruit parfait! Involve kids in lunch: Involve kids as much as possible when planning, preparing and packing lunches. The more pride your child has in his lunch, the more likely he is to eat it! Lunches with nutrient dense choices will keep kids full and help them concentrate throughout the afternoon. Nutrient-dense choices include highprotein foods like beans, nuts or meat. Try to choose foods from each of the four food groups to provide balance. After-school snacks: Children are often hungry by the time they arrive home from school. This can be a great time to offer fresh fruit and cut-up veggies and dip. Some other snack suggestions to keep within easy reach are nut butters, whole-grain crackers, cubes of cheese and yogurt. Having an after-school snack prepped and ready for your child helps them make a healthy choice and gives you a little time to get dinner on the table. Add fresh or frozen fruit to a pitcher of water for a refreshing thirst-quenching afterschool beverage! Eat together: Preparing, cooking and eating meals together provides time to connect and research shows children who eat with their families once a day perform and behave better at school. It is a time for parents to role-model healthy food choices

FAITH

It is the season for a lesson in Thanksgiving

S THE harvest season, with its attendant Thanksgiving celebration, has begun, it is a good time to be reminded of the priority of praising God for all His bountiful goodness. King David’s 145th Psalm of praise gives a good handle to do the above. It’s the only psalm with the specific title in the collection of 150 psalms in the Bible. One of the most common ways to praise God is through our prayers. It’s interesting that Jesus left us only one prayer as an example of how we are to pray (Matthew 6:9-13). Commonly called the Lord’s Prayer, its more accurate title would be the disciples’ prayer. “Hallowed” is a New Testament expression used only in reference to the name of God, meaning to revere.

NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH Praise is vocal adoration of God. Adoration is the act of rendering divine honour, esteem and love. Praise is also an essential part of life because only praise puts God in His rightful position. In praising God, we declare His sovereignty and recognize His nature and power. There’s also another key benefit of praise — it enables us to focus properly. Praise, by its very nature, is unselfish. We can say praise decentralizes self.

The worship and praise of God demands a shift in centre from self to God. One cannot praise God without relinquishing preoccupation with self. Praise, then, produces forgetfulness of one’s self and forgetfulness of self is a very healthy, biblical practice. The phrase “Praise the Lord” has been so overused that now it means absolutely nothing in our language. It has fast become a Christian slang, a catchphrase. Technically, to praise someone is the act of one’s esteem of a person for his virtue or accomplishments. It’s to pronounce that that person is worthy of honour. As the Hebrew people attempted to offer meaningful praise to God, both in their prayers and in worship

services, far too often they found themselves in mindless repetition. Because God is so awesome, they would simply say the same things over and over again even though they understood that vain repetition is a bad thing and not a biblical concept. So, they came up with a system to stimulate praise — the acrostic system we see in Psalm 145. It has all the letters of the Hebrew alphabets to start the verses off sans one. A simple outline of this 21-verse psalm can be recorded as: • Who can praise God? (v. 1a): Only disciplined people, called disciples, who are His children. • When should we praise God? (v. 1b): Forever. • Why should we praise God? (vs.3-20): Because He is great.

Verses three to 20 are loaded with characteristics and the works of God. God is: • Great • Mystery • Mighty • Majestic • Merciful • Good • Long-suffering • Perfectly unconditional • All-knowing • Consistent/available/the only way/in charge. In spite of His above attributes, when God seems far away, let us remember we are the ones who move. We can go nowhere out of His presence, He would always be with us. We don’t invite Him into our churches. He is there already. Where we are, He is there, period! Nevertheless, the principle remains that God responds to those

who love Him. What source of comfort that is. How can we not praise Him for that? With these, David concludes the psalm in verse 21 in the only way he can. It’s as if he says, “Look, after all I have said about God, I have no other choice but to praise God.” By the way, let’s don’t forget the mouth speaks only those things that come from the heart. So, David’s heart must have been full of praise for God. Notice also his prayer is that all flesh will praise God forever and ever. Every psalm that David wrote encourages us to praise God in some ways. David was able to think that way because his focus was on God and not on self. We are a long way

from being like David. Sometimes we picture these Old Testament characters as guys who were sitting out in the wilderness with nothing better to do. David was the leader of a vast empire and his days were full. But, he always understood the priority of praising his heavenly Father. This Thanksgiving, let us recognize the graciousness of God in our lives to the degree that we are in a constant state of praise — praising Him for who He is and what He has done. narayanmitra@ hotmail.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.
