Murder trial ends with plea to manslaughter By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Emotions ran high on the fifth floor of the Kamloops Law Courts on Wednesday, Oct. 30, as the second-degree murder trial of Torbin Alec came to an abrupt end with a plea bargain. Alec, 30, was charged with second-degree murder following the stabbing death last summer of Jesse Seymour. Following the surprise guilty plea — to the lesser charge of manslaughter — Seymour’s family held a tearful 30-person prayer circle outside Courtroom 5C. “It’s tough,” said Fred Seymour, Jesse’s father, choking back tears.

“You can never trust your brother. My son died at the hands of his so-called brother. “If we can look each other in the eyes, we’ve got to call ourselves family. “But, we know there’s people out there — we know there’s bad ones.” Seymour died following a fight with Alec in the early-morning hours of July 15, 2012, outside a house party at 746 Columbia St. Court has heard the two were close friends who were arguing about Alec’s chances with a girl. The Crown’s case turned largely on three points — the testimony of two Crown witnesses and a broken bottle found at the scene.

Nicole Jones-Dodginghorse, one of two people who witnessed the altercation that led to Seymour’s death, said under questioning from prosecutor Rob Bruneau that the fight was a fair one. However, under cross-examination from defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen, she acknowledged a statement made to police two hours after the fight. “They got close, they started rumbling,” she told an officer. “Like, Jesse was hitting him. I think he [Torbin] might have pulled out the knife when he was getting beat up pretty good there for a bit.” Jones-Dodginghorse said Seymour dropped a bottle of tequila he had been holding prior to the

fight. She said the bottle smashed on the concrete steps on which she and Seymour had been sitting. However, according to a photo entered as evidence on the first day of the trial, the bottle’s jagged neck, on which there were drops of blood, was found near the area where the two fought, not on the steps. Another photo showed a threeinch cut on Alec’s forearm — something the defence theorized was a defensive wound. The last witness to give evidence prior to the guilty plea was Shawn Bottle, who told a story different than that of JonesDodginghorse. He also witnessed the fight, but

described it as largely a one-sided affair in Alec’s favour. Court heard Crown and defence will present a joint sentencing position, but its terms are not yet known. However, speaking outside the courtroom, Fred Seymour said he was told by Bruneau it was six years. “A so-called brother getting six years less time served,” he said. “Is that justice in our eyes? I don’t think so. Look at our family. “I’m not proud of today, what happened today. These are things we’re going to carry for life. “We have to stay strong.” Alec will return to court on Nov. 30 to set a date for sentencing.

SWAN DRIVE

Pairs of trumpeter swans relax on Bowers Lake along Sugarloaf Road during a sunny, cool day in Kamloops. The swans are the heaviest bird native to North America and are flourishing despite facing near-extinction in the early 20th century. The bird weighs, on average, between 26 and 30 pounds and has an average lifespan of about 20 years. Dave Eagles/KTW

Council decides against $24 million, 3.5-kilometre upgrade By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The plan is great. The tab isn’t. During a workshop on Tuesday, Oct. 28, city councillors were presented with a $24-million gateway project for the area along Tranquille Road, from Airport Road to the Brock Shopping Centre. “I love it,” Mayor Peter Milobar said. “It looks awesome. It looks great. Hate the cost.” Coun. Tina Lange said the corridor doesn’t create the best first impression for visitors, but added council has also noted the entrance to downtown also needs an upgrade. But, she noted, the work won’t

be done until “other things are being done,” as happened on Lorne Street in conjunction with construction of the new Sandman Signature hotel, which remains under construction. In the end, councillors praised the gateway-project concept, but opted to treat it as a visioning project, something for the future, and set up an advisory group to address basic beautification near Airport Road. Coun. Nelly Dever, however, wanted to talk to the public, noting that, as a North Shore resident, she knows what was presented to council isn’t what people are discussing. The gateway plan included upgrades to address traffic movement, signage, landscaping

(including 265 trees), adding a multi-use pathway on the north side of Tranquille, burying hydro lines, making improvements to drainage and adding a sidewalk to the south side of Tranquille. Estimated costs were $7.9 million for electrical work, $3.7 million for road and path construction, $1.8 million for concrete work, $1.2 million for landscaping and $8.3 million for engineering, inflation and other contingency costs. The project was estimated to take up to four years. Various funding sources were identified, but councillors agreed with Tina Lang when she said there is no way a $24-million project for a 3.5-kilometre stretch of road would be acceptable to

ENTER

the public. Instead, a plan for some public art, landscaping and other lowcost works to improve the view for visiting airport arrivals will be pursued. North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director Steve Puhallo is not upset with the project being shelved for the foreseeable future, noting the discussion alone “moved the ball forward a few inches.” Puhallo hopes the city engages those from outside city boundaries for input on the airport gateway, in particular the community of Sun Peaks and the people who run Mike Wiegele’s heli-snow operation north of the city, near Blue River.

Search for Edna will continue By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When members of Kamloops Search and Rescue arrive at Red Lake this weekend, they will bring with them the kind of equipment not available in 1960. Even investigative techniques have changed since the day 53 years ago that 21-month-old Edna Bette-Jean Masters went missing in the area of the lake. Her disappearance on July 3, 1960, created a police file that eventually went cold, only to be resurrected earlier this year as part of a regular review of cold cases. Known details are few: The child was last seen playing outside with other children in the area. She was wearing a green bonnet with a

white frill covering her curly blonde hair, an undershirt, a pink short-sleeved T-shirt that likely covered the small oval burn scar on her left arm between her elbow and shoulder, faded pink overalls, white socks and sandals. Police kept the file open until 1963, finally relegating it to the area no officer wants an investigation to end up — with no answers, no solution, a child still missing. On Saturday, Nov. 2, Kamloops Search and Rescue will bring in teams from the Shuswap, Logan Lake, Nicola Valley and South Cariboo to help with the search of the area about 50 kilometres northwest of the city. The teams will look for new evidence and build awareness

Edna Bette-Jean Masters vanished from Red Lake on July 3, 1960 — and the search for her continues this weekend.

of the case. Kamloops Search and Rescue manager Andrew Hobler said he realizes the odds are against them, but noted the area has been disturbed in recent years through

mining and logging and some of the earth has been turned over. The area around where the house was at the baby went missing has also had most of the surface turned over.

“So, you never know, something might turn up,” Hobler said. “Maybe something has now been exposed.” Police know a rust-coloured 1959 Chevrolet with “cat eye” or “bat-wing” taillights and Alberta plates was seen in the area with a young couple inside. Mounties are still hoping to receive some information about the car and the couple, even though the sighting occurred decades ago. Because the area is at a high elevation, the search may be postponed if snow falls. Even if nothing is found, Hobler said, the exercise won’t be for naught as it gives search-and-rescue members an opportunity to practise their skills.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

of the THOMPSON OKANAGAN DIVING TRAINING CENTRE SOCIETY

Talking taxes with the city By Christopher Foulds KTW EDITOR

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

How to cut or reduce — rather than maintain or increase — services was a familiar refrain from many taxpayers who visited Interior Savings Centre on Tuesday, Oct. 29, to talk budget with city staff and council members. The first of three public-input sessions focused on the city’s service levels and was held in a workshop format, with residents jumping from table to table at 20-minute intervals, with each table featuring information on a particular city department. With Kamloops taxpayers having had to shoulder an extra two per cent in property taxes per year in the past decade, some comments were blunt. “We’re happy you got a pay raise, but now you have to earn your money,” a representa-

tive from the Canadian Home Builders Association said to Coun. Nancy Bepple at the utilities information table. A Kamloops business owner concurred: “As business people, we’ve had to cut, we’ve had to lay people off, we’ve had to shut down parts of our business. As councillors, you have to make hard decisions. We can’t keep going on the nevernever plan.” So, what would they suggest be done to minimize a property tax increase? The feedback at that table and others was varied: How about looking at biweekly garbage and recycling collection? How about affixing live GPS on all city vehicles to improve efficiency and, ahem, eliminate catnaps? How about reducing watering — yes, even on Tournament Capital sports fields? How about removing grass

(and the accompanying maintenance) from cemeteries and replace it with gravel and rock/ stone paths? Suggestions on how the city might minimize a property-tax increase while not eliminating services were in ample supply from the twodozen residents who attended the meeting. The overarching sentiment was that staff has done much in the way of finding efficiencies, but if such a path is to lead to a lighter tax burden on residents, staff needs to lead council in that direction. Upon listening to some specific comments about the garbage/recycling collection system, Coun. Arjun Singh moved to the table featuring police and fire services and posed a question to new RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller: “Why do we need more police officers if crime is down in the past decade?” While Singh noted

The Annual General Meeting will take place on

his query was made in the spirit of eliciting a justifiable response, Mueller’s replied with a question of his own. “What’s the cost of feeling safe in the community and what do you want in your police force?” David Duckworth, the city’s director of corporate services and community safety, noted each Kamloops household pays about a buck a day to fund the RCMP and about 80 cents per day to staff the fire halls. A second workshopstyle public-input meeting will be held on Monday, Nov. 4, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. Feedback from the two meetings will go to council at its Nov. 26 meeting. A third public-input meeting will be held at ISC on Feb. 25, 2014. with city council scheduled to set the 2014 tax rate on April 8, 2014.

Mountain snowﬂakes on your tires? If so, you are ready for winter driving, provided your tread is good By Dave Eagles STAFF REPORTER

dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com

With winter driving weather just around the corner, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone rolled his own vehicle into the shop of the Argo Road Maintenance yard in Kamloops to give some tread to his talk on winter tire safety and to clarify winter-tire requirements. Joined on Tuesday, Oct. 29, by representatives from ICBC and the RCMP Central Interior Traffic Services, the Kamloops-South Thompson Liberal MLA acknowledged the recent confusion throughout the province about the definition of a winter tire. Motorists are required to have winter tires or carry suitable chains from Oct. 1 to April 30 while travelling on highways with winter travel signs. Stone admitted the province’s current standard of winter tires is outdated, having been created in 1976, noting the intervening 37 years

have brought myriad improvements in tire technology. Many winter tires have the mountain snowflake symbol, while many others bear the designation M+S, meaning traction in mud and snow. Stone said both types of winter tires are legal to use, noting tires displaying the mountain snowflake symbol are specifically designed for winter driving and are the type he recommends and has on his own vehicle. “Only the best for my family in the winter driving in Kamloops and the region,” Stone said. RCMP Staff Sgt. Steve Frayne said motorists choosing to drive with M+S tires are reminded that tire-tread depth must be 3.5 millimetres for legal use. “It’s confusing now. I’m hopeful to see it sorted out,” Frayne said. “We’re willing to ask members to take a step back while the government sorts it out.” In light of changing technology, the Ministry

The North American symbol for a winter tire is a mountain with snowflake. All-season tires with “M+S” for “mud and snow” are also acceptable for restricted roads in B.C. if they have enough tread left. Dave Eagles/KTW

The prime minister should have listened to Mister Rogers

VERY DAY, A co-worker has wandered by my desk the last while so we can swap opinions on what’s happening in Ottawa right now. We share a fascination with how what looked like a trio of self-important people who think being a senator gives them special rights the rest of us regular folk don’t have has turned into a controversy the likes of which Canadians haven’t seen in a long time. There are a lot of threads unravelling this story and, while each of them alone might not matter, together they might just rip apart that comfy-bluesweater-vest facade Prime Minister Stephen Harper likes to parade in front of us when it suits his purpose. For those unfamiliar with this pose by the PM, it is best to do your own research. Just Google “Stephen Harper” and “sweater” and you’ll discover many political watchdogs — both professional and amateur — have noted Harper does his Mister Rogers impersonation when he wants to connect with us folks. Who’s lying? All of them are likely playing fast and loose with the facts, each crafting their own version of what is probably a completely different story than any of them actually remember. Harper’s memory is obviously fuzzy. In May, Nigel Wright, Harper’s much-trusted chief of staff, resigned when it was learned he provided his own $90,000 for Mike Duffy to repay Senate for expenses that should never have been approved. Harper accepted that resignation “with regret.”

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL A week later, Harper noted again that “Mr. Wright accepted full responsibility for his error in this matter. He offered his resignation and I accepted that resignation.” Now, however, Harper has said Wright was dismissed. Anyone who has ever had to apply for employment insurance knows there’s a big difference between quitting and being fired — at least, there is in the world in which we meager mortals live. Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau, the bad bunch who really don’t know where their homes are located, are now re-creating themselves as the wronged, the put-upon, the folks Harper invited to the party and then tried to kick out when they ate too much cake. (Forgive my ongoing metaphors here. Writing about the lofty Senate just brings out the pompous side of me, kind of like writing about Conrad Black.) The part that bothers me, as I tell my colleague when we talk, is that I hate — absolutely despise — rooting for Duffy in this mess. The man did everything he could possibly do, sucked up to as many peo-

ple in power as he could, to get where he is today. I never thought much of him as a journalist, simply because it all seemed like such a sham to me, but maybe he’ll get the last laugh in this. Maybe Duffy really does have the basic reporter chops and, when he was smiling for the camera during his unofficial campaign for Senate, he kept all those photos. Maybe he kept all those emails and letters and other documents that now will help clarify his senatehood. I know I have a bunch of file folders in my desk, collections I add to now and then and let sit for that one day when one of the subjects between the manila does that stupid thing and the background’s value is realized. Maybe that’s what Duffy meant when he said he had a story to tell, that documents he has kept are in the hands of his lawyers and will become public when they must. Duffy said this week: “When you read this documentation, colleagues, you will see who was running this brutal campaign to destroy support among Canadians for a chamber of sober second thought, a chamber that would act as a break on the unfettered power of the people across the way.” Maybe Duffy finally has the biggest news scoop of his career. Maybe Harper will realize the sweater won’t help him, that he should have listened when Mister Rogers told us all: “It’s not the honours and the prizes and the fancy outsides of life which ultimately nourish our souls. It’s the knowing that we can be trusted, that we never have to fear the truth.” dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

In August, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said he wasn’t planning to appoint any new senators in the near future. No doubt his resolve has been strengthened in recent weeks. His Senate appointments of Pamela Wallin, Mike Duffy and Patrick Brazeau have not gone well for him. Now, Harper must distance himself from the people he once recommended to an institution with which he’d like to do away. He must also persuade Canadians that actions of the Office of the Prime Minister have only a tenuous connection to the prime minister himself. Harper is now claiming formerjournalists Duffy and Wallin — previously valued fundraisers for the Conservative party — and their colleague, Brazeau, are guilty of abusing the public purse. That’s why he’s fully behind the Senate resolution to suspend the three without pay or benefits — even though many have argued such punitive suspensions violate due process. But, Harper must recognize there is also a perceived gap in his own credibility. He denied, when the scandal surfaced, he was involved in Duffy’s repayment of unjustified living expenses, but his tune has been changing as the embattled senators voice their side of the story. Their accounts allege backroom deals to cover up the scandal, followed by threats from the PMO and Senate colleagues to repay the expenses and, subsequently, to resign to avoid further embarrassing the party. Now, Harper says he did tell Duffy — in front of his caucus — to repay the money claimed, although he categorically denies Duffy’s account of a private meeting between himself, Duffy and former PMO chief of staff Nigel Wright to discuss it. In response to questions about Wright’s $90,000 cheque to Duffy to cover the repayment, Harper — who previously said Wright “resigned” — now says Wright was “dismissed” for his lapse of judgment. Critics say Harper has seriously mishandled the Senate-expenses affair by hewing to a familiar line of stonewalling in hopes the scandal would simply die quietly. No chance of that now. While it’s clear the self-serving excuses of Duffy, Wallin and Brazeau have not rehabilitated them in the public eye, Harper should realize they have raised serious questions about his own credibility.

KAMLOOPS

THIS WEEK

City of Kamloops budget process nothing but a farce Editor: If Kamloops taxpayers had any doubt they were not being well served by their elected council, recent revelations on the number and growth of city staff salaries over the past six years should dispel that doubt. For such lavish increases in value and number to have occurred during “normal” times would have been considered grossly excessive, but for it to have occurred during a period of recession with record-low interest rates and near-zero inflation is nothing short of obscene and shows council’s scant regard for taxpayers, many of whom are retired and/or on fixed incomes. We are again experiencing what council describes as “the budget process.” All these meetings and

deliberations are nothing more than an elaborate windowdressing exercise to enable council to smugly justify yet another annual tax increase to appease the wants of city management, whose sole aim seems to be to increase respective empires — no doubt to justify ongoing (unjustifiable) salary increases. That indicates at best an ineffective and incapable council. Council members were elected to run the city on behalf of residents. It is time they showed they can do that. So, rather than pass the buck to concerned and sometimes vocal residents, they need to take responsibility and impose guiding criteria on city management. I would therefore suggest that, rather than waste time with these meetings, council

should, at a minimum, set the following guidelines for 2014 within which city managers must develop their budget: • Impose a non-negotiable 10 per cent reduction in taxes from the 2013 level. Any concessions to business to reduce its tax burden should be treated as an additional reduction in income to the city. If that results in a reduction of $3.5 million in income (as stated to council by the finance director with respect to heavy industry’s request), then council and city managers need to take that into account when considering next year’s expenditures. It is not acceptable to pass that cost on to residents as an additional tax, as occurred last year. • Impose a ban on overtime

use, except for emergencies (picking up dog poo from city dog parks and collecting garbage from city parks on weekends does not qualify as emergencies). • Impose a moratorium on staff hiring for the next three years, and impose a moratorium on salaries/wages for the next five years (to compensate for the excesses of the past six years). Maybe then we can see if the so-called city managers can actually manage their respective departments within a cost ceiling by more practical measures than empire building, which imposes ongoing and onerous long-term costs on taxpayers for both salaries and entitlements. It is disappointing that a number of councilors have tried to justify an increase in remuneration by whining about

how much it has apparently cost them in losses to their own respective business by being on council. One wonders why they bothered to stand for council in the first place. If what they say is actually true, it seems to me they — and certainly Kamloops taxpayers — would be much better off if they resigned. While it may not be considered unreasonable to look at increasing council pay, based on the performance of the majority of council, it can hardly be justified. One can only hope taxpayers make this an election issue in 2014 and see to it the councilors who voted for the increase are not there after the next election to enjoy it. Douglas Beck Kamloops

COUNCIL PAY RAISE: THERE IS A LIMIT TO WHAT WE CAN AFFORD Editor: The three letters in KTW’s Oct. 29 edition regarding council’s decision to give itself a pay raise were well-stated. There is definitely a limit to what taxpayers can afford. I have a suggestion for Donovan Cavers, who seems to be struggling with issues as to his position as a councillor. I would suggest that, since Cavers finds his position as a councillor so restrictive to achievDONOVAN ing his financial foundation as CAVERS a businessman and homeowner, he should resign his position on council. He should do so until he is more established in his life’s dream and has gained maturity as to what he is prepared to offer the community in which he chooses to live, whether or not it meets his monetary standards. Deann Martin Kamloops

Serving Kamloops for 57 proud years!

Editor: “How do we as a task force establish the value of a politician?” That’s a good question from Brant Hasanan of the city council-appointed city council remuneration task force. Perhaps that question should have been worked out first. On a side note, it took five formal meetings and 140 hours of “community” consultation to come up with a formula that is nothing more than an average. In my opinion, that is as light and effortless as it gets. But, let’s get back to the first point. While I commend anyone for stepping up and putting his or her name on the ballot sheet, plenty of local politicians have turned out to be nothing more than chair warmers.

MORE LETTERS ready to be read online at kamloopsthisweek.com, your Internet home for all the news in the Tournament Capital of Canada. And just how much is a chair warmer to be paid? Do we make them pay back their salary if their performance record is light on achievements? For example, it can be argued the city’s financial burden in reference to its workforce salaries and administrative compensation is a direct consequence of possible lethargy on council. Pay raises are all too common and predictable.

It is not a matter of cutting services or compromising community safety. It is a matter of cutting the vicious cycle of pecuniary demands, which arise from a twisted sense of entitlement. We do not have enough tot lots in this city to forever offset the demands for more money. We need real leadership to stem the flow of water from the gash (or, in this case, to stem the flow of cash from the gash) before this ship sinks. Wouldn’t it be a novel idea to come up with a set of guidelines to gauge a politician’s effectiveness or value to the taxpayer? Could we have another task force to study that?

Correspondence between the fired bookkeeper of the Metis Commission for Families and Children and the provincial government indicate Victoria was made aware last year about concerns about finances at the agency. Jules Jelev — hired by the provincial body in January 2011 and fired five weeks later — sent a letter on Nov. 10, 2011, to David Kostman a contract manager in the Ministry of Children and Family Development. Jelev outlined his concerns about how funds were being allocated at the commission and asked if the ministry considered it acceptable for project funding to be diverted into “some account so that the funds do not become due to the government at year end.” Jelev, who successfully sued the commission when he was fired, asked if the ministry had any concern with a financial system that would see batches of cheques, 25 to 50 at a time, pre-signed while blank and left for executive director Deb Canada to use for spending. On Dec. 8, 2011, Jelev received a reply from the ministry, copied to the senior director for aboriginal operations, noting receipt of the letter. On Jan. 11, 2012, Jelev wrote to Roberta Campbell at the ministry, asking if he would receive an answer to his questions. He also called her to find out if anything was being done with his

concerns, but was told he would likely not receive a response. Jelev filed a freedom-of-information (FOI) request that month, but was told it would cost him $120 for the work to be done, so he can cancelled it. In February 2012, he called Campbell again for more information on filing an FOI. In March 2012, Jelev sent his concerns to Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake’s office and was told it would provide assistance. Later in the month, Ann Sandbu, MCFD assistant deputy minister for finance and corporate affairs, called Jelup, telling him the ministry could launch an investigation. The following month, Jelev received a letter from then-MCFD minister Mary McNeil, stating he could not receive answers to his questions “due to confidentiality of information.” In October 2012, Jelev sent the ministry a copy of the judge’s order in his lawsuit and asked it be used in any investigation. In November 2012, Jelev received a final letter from Sandbu, telling him ministry staff had been advised of his concerns. When KTW contacted the ministry this week about Jelev and his lawsuit, ministry spokesman Sheldon Johnson said “concerns were brought to the ministry regarding the financial practices of Metis Commission. The Ministry initiated an audit, which found no criminal wrongdoing. As you know, we’re working with them on implementing the recommendations.”

FIRED, BUT AWARDED $20K required him to maintain. Jelev continued to express to Canada his concerns about what he perceived to be “a misuse of cheques in bulk, bypassing controls, so that she could have virtually unlimited spending authority,” the ruling states. For example, the commission received $500,000 to hold a conference for about 200 people in Vancouver. Jelev was told to prepare advance cheques for people for travel and accommodations, something he refused to do because he felt invoices should be available to provide the proper payment. Canada also asked for cheques to buy gifts for elders.

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A bookkeeper hired by the Metis Commission for Children and Families in 2011 successfully sued the organization, alleging he was let go after about five weeks of work when he refused to comply with what he described as direction to hide government funding given to the commission for projects. Jules Jelev was awarded $19,845 for breach of contract and an additional $2,000 for aggravated damages in the decision by provincial court Judge Herman Rohrmoser. Jelev worked with the commission from Jan. 4, 2011, to Feb. 8, 2011. A hearing into his lawsuit was heard in June and July last year and Rohrmoser issued his decision on Aug. 20, 2012. The commission is one of two Kamloops agencies that were the subject of special audits by the provincial government after allegations of financial concerns were received by the Ministry of Children and Family Development. During his short tenure with the commission, Jelev said he felt its executive director, Deb Canada, “directed him to apply his accounting skills toward the illicit movement of government funding provided to the Metis Commission through the Ministry of children and Families.” Among duties Jelev told Rohrmoser he was given was to send cheques in batches of 250 or more to commission board president Marlene Swears at her home in Williams Lake. Jelev felt the practice was improper and brought it to the ministry’s attention in November 2011. Shortly after, Jelev received a letter from the commission, warning him to not contact the ministry again about accounting practices and procedures due to the confidentiality rules his contract

In the nine years Brenda Aynsley has been head of the local United Way, she has worked with a lot of agencies providing services in the community. That includes both White Buffalo Aboriginal and Metis Health Society and the Metis Commission of Children and Families of B.C., she said. But, during that time, she has never met Deb Canada. GO ONLINE TO KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK. COM FOR THE FULL STORY Canada testified Jelev did not understand “the idea of the cultural practices” behind her request for the advance cheques and that she felt he did not believe the elders deserved the money for gifts the commission wanted to give them. Much of the ruling addresses Jelev’s concerns about the accounting software being used by the commission and his decision to not use a local consultant. Jelev told the court he had been warned the consultant was to be used “as a last resort since he was quite costly.” Instead, Jelev signed into an accounting forum under his personal company’s name to find information and save the commission money, he testified.

Rohrmoser noted Jelev created the account in his company’s name to avoid any conflict between the commission and the consultant. Rohrmoser noted documents that had a bearing on the lawsuit “were not only missing from the defendant’s case, but were strenuously objected to when Mr. Jelev requested their production.” Rohrmoser said there were factual errors in Canada’s testimony on matters about which she should have had “a more comprehensive understanding, given her position.” The ruling notes Canada did testify she told Jelev to move “certain funds” into a deferred-revenue account “because they [the commission] do not want to give the money back to the ministry.” Rohrmoser noted that, following the appropriate rules and policies in place, this could be done, but that he rejected her testimony she had done so. The judge addressed the specific reason given when Canada fired Jelev — $68 missing from petty cash — as having no evidentiary foundation and that Canada “had no reasonable basis upon which to demand that he take that money from his own pocket and put it in the bank.” Rohrmoser noted he found it troubling Canada ended the contract with Jelev “on not much more than a whim because he balked at her directions to engage in accounting practices that were unethical and not compliant with proper accounting standards.” Also audited was the White Buffalo Aboriginal and Metis Health Society, at which Canada was the executive editor until after release of the audits, when she was hired as a management contractor. Attempts by KTW to speak with members of the boards of the two agencies have been unsuccessful. White Buffalo is scheduled to hold its annual general meeting on Friday, Nov. 1, at its office at 517A Tranquille Rd. at 1:30 p.m.

Mounties probe sexual-assault complaint Kamloops RCMP are investigating a sexualassault complaint from a 15-year-old who went missing from the Lower Mainland earlier this year and was found in Kamloops on Monday, Oct. 28. RCMP Corp. Cheryl Bush said the girl had been reported travelling east on Highway 5 in a commercial tractor-trailer headed to Alberta. The rig was found at about 10:45 p.m. at the weigh scales just west of Kamloops, with the youth in the truck’s sleeping quarters. The driver

POLICE BEAT was arrested and remains in custody. Bush said it is unclear how the teen ended up in the truck. • The investigation continues into an accident on Hugh Allan Drive in Aberdeen that sent a 50-year-old man to the intensive-care unit at Royal Inland Hospital. The accident on Saturday, Oct. 26, involved a truck and a car. The vehicles col-

lided front of Kamloops Seniors Village, 1220 Hugh Allan Dr., with the truck flipping onto its side and pinning the man between its passengerside door and the road. • An investigation into a reported home invasion on Collingwood Drive in Westmount could not substantiate the incident, Bush said. Police said a call was received at about 8:45 a.m. from someone later determined to have been in the house, advising three males wearing masks and carrying shotguns had entered.

Police said when they arrived and used a loud hailer to tell the occupants to leave, there was no response, so officers, with a police dog, entered to check on the occupants. Police said they found four people in the rental-property, a location known to police and the two men and two women said they were tenants. The four said they knew nothing about any armed people entering the building and that they had been sleeping when police arrived and tried to contact them from outside.

Make myonething your thing Employees of Save-On-Foods, Hegyi Refrigeration, Service Plus and Kamloops Harley Davidson are teaming up in November to fight prostate cancer. Beginning on Friday, Nov. 1, the four local businesses will be raising funds and awareness on behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society. Prostate cancer continues to be the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men in BC. In 2013, it is estimated 3,500 men in the province will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and about 570 will die from the disease. The premise of the Canadian Cancer Society’s My One Thing

COMMUNITY initiative is to encourage British Columbians to commit to making one change to reduce their cancer risk — from taking the stairs at work to eating more vegetables. People are encouraged to write down their one thing and share it through their own social media channels and online at myonething.ca. On Wednesday, Oct. 30, the businesses kicked off the campaign by hosting a sponsors’ booth at the Kamloops Blazers-Spokane Chiefs game at Interior Savings Centre, where lucky visi-

tors had a chance to win a new Harley Davidson or Vancouver Canucks’ tickets. Campbell’s Soup was also be sharing food samples.

Coats for Kids is back West 49 has kicked off its 11th year of the Coats for Kids campaign Kamloops. This year, West 49 is collecting coats for the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops. Everyone who brings in a clean, insulated, gently used winter coat to West 49 in Aberdeen Mall will receive $25 off any winter jacket. Donated jackets will then be given to the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops. Since 2002, more

than 85,000 kids have received winter coats through the program. Coats for Kids runs to Nov. 20.

Cvetozar Vutev

Blanket the Country Urban Barn is staging its second Blanket the Country in Warmth campaign. From Nov. 15 to Dec. 8, a new Urban Barn fleece blanket will be given to the Emerald Centre for every $5 donation received. The Emerald Centre is co-ed emergency shelter that provides accommodation for men, women and children who are homeless. For more information, go online to blanketthecountry.com.

Do you know what mental health is?

OW IS your mental health? Do you even know how to answer that question? Mental health is not just the absence of symptoms of mental illness, so, if you are struggling to answer this question even after we have brought it up, you are not alone. Did you know most people — and that includes physicians — have a difficult time even defining mental health, let alone assessing or rating it? One reason for this is that, for decades, when we talked about “mental health,” we have been talking about mental illness. News reporters, television dramas and, regrettably, even mentalhealth professionals have joined the politically correct forces of our society in solidifying the notion in the populace that “mental illness” is “bad,” so instead we say people have “mental-health issues.” Can you think of any other medical condition in which we use the word “health” when we mean “illness”?

This unfortunate behaviour by well-intentioned people has done immeasurable harm to the fight against the prejudices faced by people with mental illness. Another reason we cannot easily answer a question about the state of our mental health is we are not sure what all is included in our mental health. Some people think, “I’m always in a good mood, so I must have great mental health!” Mood is certainly one factor, but there is so much more to a mentally well person than mood. When someone is high or intoxicated, they often experience a very good mood bordering on euphoria, but they are certainly not mentally well. Neither are people with bipolar disorder during a very high point in their mood cycle. When someone’s mental health is at question, clinicians look at motor activity, speech, thought content, thought process, perception, intellect, insight and affect. “Affect” is not our mood, but what we can observe outwardly about

what a person is describing as their emotional state. We may be concerned about someone who claims to be very sad, but who is grinning, engaged in active conversation and is animated in their behaviour. We have often said our brain is the organ of our mental health, so it is reasonable that, if our brain functions in a healthy way, there is a better chance our mental health will be good as well. Another factor that impacts the status of our mental-health assessment is our current context. We frequently observe others and judge their mental health to be “bad” or “low” because they look and sound like someone who is depressed. If they suffered the recent loss of a loved one, we no longer view them as mentally ill. In fact, we tend to judge people as being not mentally well if they appear to be too happy after experiencing a loss. Having said all of this, it is becoming more obvious that mental health is both complex and somewhat transient. Our mood changes quickly, our ability to cope cognitively is dramati-

cally impacted by hunger, sleep deprivation or other factors. Our ability to perceive, sort out and analyze sensory information is impacted by our aging eyes, ears, nose and taste buds. At the same time, we have all had an experience in which we could have sworn we saw or heard something that no one else did. It is common for our brains to use our own vivid imaginations to make non-existent things “real” in our experience. So, the next time someone asks you, “How are you doing?”, feel free to give the same nonanswer answer: “Fine.” But, also take a moment and actually check how you really are doing. If something is not quite right, act on it and refuse to see if it just goes away by itself over time. Be as active in promoting your mental health as you are in watching your physical health. Thanks for reading our column and for all your thoughts and suggestions. If you have something to tell us, you can reach us by email at Kamloops@ cmha.bc.ca or on Twitter @CMHAKamloops because we always love to hear from you.

No God in that rainbow

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;VE HEARD some talk recently about the phenomenon we call a rainbow. There are some folks out there who seem to connect it with the story of Noahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ark, which is, of course, patently false and virtually impossible. A rainbow takes place and has taken place for millions of years when the air is adequately saturated with water droplets and the sun hits them at the correct angle to produce this beautiful result. So, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take a closer look at how religious fundamentalists explain a rainbow. To these folks, it is apparently a sign from their God that he will never again indiscriminately kill every living thing on the earth when he gets into a foul mood. To accept this story, one must accept his so-called loving God decided one day to kill everything and everybody â&#x20AC;&#x201D; except Noah and his family. And, of course, fish. According to the website World Population Since Creation, the population of the earth was approximately 235 million at the time of the flood. Since there was no birth control available, we can safely assume there were several-million pregnant women, all carrying possibly viable fetuses, yet this

BILL LIGERTWOOD Rational THOUGHTS God apparently thought nothing of murdering all of them because he was in a bad mood. Was God pro-life? It sure doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like it to me. So, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with all this religious mumbojumbo about the sanctity of life? But, I digress. So, now that God has murdered every human, not to mention animals, insects and plants, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re left with poor old Noah and a ship carrying a few hundred species at best, as well as his own daughters and sons. With the waters receding, he has to sail

around the entire planet to put the various species back where they belong (weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure how he got them in the first place, but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just leave that question alone). After this world tour, Noah now has to begin the somewhat difficult task of producing humans. What is poor Noah to do? God has just killed everyone on the planet for being too promiscuous and now Noah will have to either impregnate his own daughters or get his sons to do it. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of between a rock and a hard place. If he does have sex with his daughters, who will carry out the stoning, which is the biblical punishment for incest? If his sons do the stoning, then what? No more women? An exclusively gay world? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all quite unbelievable, a tall tale made

up by Iron Age sheep herders who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why the sun came up or where it went when it went down. Most of the Bible is composed of tall tales, if you care to actually read it. It is hard to believe any grown adults in 2013 actually believe this stuff. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worse is some who do are in positions of power. A rainbow is an entirely explainable real phenomenon, beautiful to be sure, but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not make it a symbol for the mass murder of 250-million innocent men, women, children, babies and fetuses. When I look at a rainbow, I see the wonders of the universe and the beauty of nature, not the empty promise of a fairy tale.

Kamloops lands 2014 Four Nations Cup Gridiron gurus get The 2014 Four Nations Cup, featuring the Canadian, U.S., Finnish and Swedish national female hockey teams, will be played in the Tournament Capital. Hockey Canada and the City of Kamloops have confirmed the tournament will be held at Interior Savings Centre in November 2014. The tourney is considered the third-most-prestigious event in women’s hockey, after the Olympics and the IIHF World Women’s Hockey Championship. Each of the four teams will play each other once in the roundrobin stage to decide which teams will meet in the bronze- and gold-medal games.

In the round-robin, the Kamloops bid proposal set ticket prices at $15 for each of Canada’s games. The price of admission is expected to be $10 for games not featuring the Canadian team. Jon Pankuch, president of the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association, was the city’s bid-committee chairman. At least one other city was competing against Kamloops, that being Sarnia, Ont. Kamloops lost its bid to host the 2013 women’s world championship, which was awarded to Ottawa. The Four Nations Cup rotates among the participating countries, with St. John’s being the last Canadian host, in 2010.

down to brass tacks

HE ROYAL RUMBLE had hardly begun before I was tossed over the top rope at a meeting held to discuss the fragile state of football in Kamloops. About to start was the closed-door portion of the gridiron summit featuring major players on the River City’s football scene — when “we can all really start to yell at each other,” said meeting co-ordinator, Brad Yamaoka, who opened the session to all comers before separating the wheat from the chaff. Given that I’m unable to provide the ringside commentary of, say, Cleve Maartman of the Westsyde Blue Wave trading European uppercuts with Kamloops Community Football (KCF) president Dave Arthurs, or founding father Jack Buckham suddenly and without reason turning on friend and fellow local legend Brian Olthuis, superkicking him through the Heritage House window (my imagination runs wild, like Hulkamania) . . . I’ll just comment on what I actually did see from the top turnbuckle before I got the boot. People really care about football in this city. That has to be the best thing pigskin has going for it in the Tournament Capital. On the flipside, the

WolfPack back in basketball action The Wolves return to the hardcourt this weekend for regularseason Canada West action. Both the men’s and women’s TRU WolfPack basketball teams open league play at home, with Saskatchewan in town on Friday, Nov. 1, and Alberta coming to Kamloops on Saturday, Nov. 2. Game times are the same both nights at the Tournament Capital Centre, with the women tipping off at 6 p.m. and the men following at 8 p.m. The WolfPack men’s basketball team is heading into the season on a high note. Head coach Scott Clark’s charges won their own invitational basketball tournament, finishing the slate with a 112-68 win over the Evergreen College Geoducks of Washington State on Saturday, Oct. 26, at

the TCC.

Volleyball at TCC Volleyball fans in Kamloops have plenty to look forward to this weekend. The TRU WolfPack is hosting the Calgary Dinos in men’s and women’s Canada West regular-season action on Friday, Nov. 1, and Saturday, Nov. 2, at the TCC. The women’s games get underway at 1 p.m. both days, with the men to follow at 2:45 p.m. TRU’s men kicked the season off last weekend with a pair of wins over the UBC Okanagan Heat of Kelowna, while the WolfPack women lost twice to their Interior rivals from the Little Apple.

Memorial Arena. TRU, which earned a 5-2 victory over Selkirk College of Castlegar on Friday, Oct. 25, is hosting

the Victoria Vikes on Friday, Nov. 1. Game time is 8:30 p.m. The WolfPack, coached by Don Schulz, are 3-4 on the

season, sitting fourth in the six-team B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League standings. Victoria, at 0-8, is in last place.

MARTY HASTINGS The Reporter’s RAMBLINGS passion is also problematic. There are so many strong personalities — like the one belonging to the man who likened playing volleyball to “cutting your nuts off” — and people who have differing opinions on how to make Kamloops a football powerhouse once more. Some high-school coaches don’t like the way minor football is being run. The KCF braintrust, which runs the local minor scene, believes very strongly in what it’s doing. There are those who subscribe to the argument that kids just aren’t the same anymore — they’re too soft and they aren’t willing to commit. Well, yes, kids today are different, one football mom said, but that’s in part because parents and coaches are not doing their jobs. X See HOPE A21

Hope not lost for football X From A20

High school juniorvarsity programs aren’t nurtured; senior highschool players and the junior Broncos don’t give enough back to the minor-football ranks; the media isn’t fair with its football coverage; coaches need to communicate more with the media or delegate the duties; high-school coaches are doing a poor job of recruiting minor-football players; community football is stealing young highschool talent . . . the laundry list of complaints rolls on. There is one thing on which most everyone agreed: Numbers are down across the board and that needs to change. Even the people who traded verbal chair shots during the closed-

door portion of the get-together are united in their desire for a return to the heyday of the 1980s, when kids flocked to the field and fans flooded the sidelines for doubleheaders at Norbrock. I don’t have any ingenious solutions, but the indisputable truth that people care enough to hold these meetings, even if they end in suplexes and piledrivers, is enough to give me hope. At the end of any Royal Rumble, the last man standing is the victor. Let’s just hope the combatants at these gatherings can put aside their differences to ensure it’s football left gloating in the middle of the squared circle.

Shop Smart, Shop Anderson’s Sewing A Writers Fair weekend The blank paper (or text screen) stares at you. The idea is in your head and you know the words are there — somewhere. The fourth annual Kamloops Writers Fair has a schedule for this year’s instalment designed to help take those ideas and turn them into sentences, paragraphs, plays, books or poetry. Keynote speaker Sylvia Taylor (The Fisher Queen: A Deckhand’s Tales of the B.C. Coast) will also facilitate a workshop, The Real Genius is in the Rewrite: From Coal to Diamonds, which will look at working with an editor, editing, rewriting and honing down the work to get it to a publishable state. Gail AndersonDargatz (A Recipe for Bees, The Cure for Death by Lightning) will present the So You Want to Write a Novel workshop, taking a look at building blocks of fiction and steps required to write a novel. Mark Leiren-Young (Never Shoot a Stampede Queen, Free Magic Secrets Revealed) will talk about how to write memoirs and first-person works. Crystal Stranaghan will oversee a session on e-book publishing, working with a publisher and things to look for in a contract.

Jefferson’s difficulty in forming intimate bonds does help explain why, after his wife died at a young age, he took up with her halfsister and his slave, Sally Hemings, 30 years his junior, whom he could control. Perhaps just as startling is his attempt to “re-write” the Bible, “by slicing and dicing eight bibles” in order to reconstruct the life of Jesus without any supernatural events — an effort he called “The Jefferson Bible.” Such eye-opening glimpses into the complexity of these characters make this book compelling reading. Henry Heinz, who attempted to relieve his psychic ills by eating a third of a pound of butter a day, successfully pioneered global branding (is there any other ketchup?) and introduced Britain to canned baked beans, still a national obsession. Several of the men were notorious womanizers but, in the case of pioneering librarian Melvil Dewey, this was unusually combined with an obsession with measurements (including from library school applicants) and multiples of 10, which would become the basis for his library cataloguing decimal system. Sexologist Alfred Kinsey’s sex obsession strangely grew out of a fascination with gall wasps. Charles Lindbergh represents the extreme sex addict, who eventually maintained three German mistresses and his illegitimate children, as well as his American family. He was addicted to flight (in both senses) and had connections in the air industry to carry

out this subterfuge, although when on the ground in Germany, he curiously relied on a VW Beetle to make his assignations. Estée Lauder, who put on a face and an assumed identity to meet the faces to which she compulsively applied makeup all through her life, is the only woman in the collection. It would have been helpful to know why — whether there are fewer female obsessive innovators or ones who reach such prominence. Indeed, the selection process for the entire group is never made clear. Kendall claims to have been inspired by Lytton Strachey’s groundbreaking biographical collection Eminent Victorians, but Kendall is not as scathing as Strachey. Yet, like Strachey, Kendall demonstrates some ambivalence towards his subjects, as hinted at in his book’s over-reaching sub-title, The Compulsive Energy that Built a Nation. In his conclusion, Kendall asserts that “particularly in these tense economic times, America could certainly benefit from a new generation of obsessive innovators.” Surely, however, it could be argued these emotionally stunted, selfinvolved (and admittedly suffering) individuals who tend to accrue vast wealth, partially through stingy treatment of their employees, must bear some responsibility for bringing America to its current state of extreme inequality and economic dysfunction. Obsession and its various manifestations in collecting and hoarding are endemic in our consumer and consuming culture — and Kendall

WEEKLY CROSSWORD

Gallery looking for artists The Karla Pearce Art Gallery, located downtown Kamloops, is inviting artists of all ages to participate in the gallery’s first Holiday Show and Sale, Nov. 23 to Dec. 7. The call is open to the entire community and artists do not need any previous experience showing their work. The gallery is mainly interested in submissions of paintings but will be accepting three-dimensional art work as well. A people’s choice award and prize valued at $100 will go out to the artist that receives the most votes from visitors to the gallery. The gallery hopes to create a space that facilitates community involvement in art while providing an opportunity for quality learning experience for all of its students. The Karla Pearce Art Gallery opened December of 2011. It mainly showcases the paintings of Karla Pearce as well as a few other

local artists. It offers 950 square feet of exhibit, teaching and studio space, including a moveable wall. The Holiday Show and Sale is open to all artists, children and adults alike, who are embarking on the creative path. There is a $25 entry fee for adults and a $10 fee for children. All entries must be received in the gallery between Saturday, Nov. 16, and Wednesday, Nov. 20. Due to space restrictions, all paintings must be framed and under 22 x 26 inches. An opening reception will be held Saturday, Nov. 23, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Refreshments will be served. For more information on the show, call 250-828-2032.

But all it takes is some discipline and budgeting and you can be right back on track in no time at all. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 It’s time to get creative, Gemini. Maybe you are planning a party that can use an interesting theme or thinking ahead to holiday shopping. Think outside of the box.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, err on the side of caution this week; otherwise you may see too much money ﬂying out of your wallet. Get into a saving mode instead of a spending one for the time being.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, no matter how hard you try, it is not in the stars for you to make a fortune on any get-rich-quick scheme. Focus your energy on different ideas. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, although you may be anxious about some presentation you need to make, it is necessary for advancement at your job. It will be over before you know it. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, get together with Leo and develop a plan that will get your ﬁnances in order. Until you sit down and view everything in black and white, things will be in ﬂux. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, although work may be giving you headaches, stick with it for the time being because there could be some major changes on the horizon that work to your advantage. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, spend the early part of the week really buckling down to get things done and the latter part can be enjoyed any way you want.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, now is not the time to make any big changes that could rock the boat. Enjoy the solid foundation that you have built for a few more weeks. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, the choices you are making may temporarily sever a few of your relationships. While this may hurt now, there’s a good chance you will mend fences in the long run.

KSO’s Chamber Series continues The next performance in the Kamloops Symphony’s Chamber Series is coming up this Saturday, Nov. 2, at 7:30 p.m. in the TRU Alumni Theatre. This program, The Three Great Bs, features two well-known Kamloops musicians, Cvetozar Vutev on violin and viola and Naomi Cloutier on piano. The three Bs referred to in the title are three great composers representing the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods — Bach, Beethoven and Brahms. Three sonatas (solo works with piano accompaniment) will be presented. Bach’s first sonata was composed during his 1717 to 1723 period of employment as kapellmeister (music director) for German Prince Leopold and was originally written for viola da gamba and harpsichord. Pianos were not widely known or used at that time. The sonata will be performed in its viola and piano arrangement. Beethoven learned to

THIS WEEK

CUISINE

Cuisine: Tim Petruk tim@kamloopsthisweek.com Ph: 250-374-7467 Ext: 234

And now the mufﬁn, ma’am W HEN THE EMAIL address linked to this column begins to overflow like pop fizzing over the sides of a bottle, I know one of two things has happened. I’ve done something right and readers are writing to let me know they’ve enjoyed a recent recipe. Or I’ve done something wrong and made a muddle of the ingredients or method — or both. Naturally, the latter makes me feel cringy inside, makes me want to run up and down the street with my red pen, correcting every copy of the paper still on their doorsteps. That would amount to trespassing at best and, at worst, a visit from the men in whitecoats. As someone who remembers her very first published typo, which occurred in April 2003 when I wrote “airplane hanger” instead of “airplane hangar” in a story, it’s never been easy to accept that mistakes happen and will happen again. Although, recipe muddles don’t usually happen three weeks in a row. It began in early October, when an omission in the directions for pan-seared chicken with mushroom cream sauce led to confusion about when to add the chicken stock to the sauce. Next, my blitz of mistakes zipped straight through a batch of caramelized pear muffins, where I supplied some wonky measurements to one of the three papers in which this column appears. Then, because, as my mother says, “Bad things happen in threes,” I wrapped up my string of errors when I spilled the milk, so to speak, when it came to the directions for pumpkin brulée.

Apple-Cinnamon Mufﬁns

So, now, in what I can only think of as a “choose your own recipe correction” exercise, I hang my head and offer the following:

4 gala apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1 cup buttermilk 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup brown sugar, lightly packed, plus more for sprinkling 3/4 tsp. cinnamon 2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. flaked kosher salt

DARCIE HOSSACK

Bon APPÉTIT If you live in a region in whose newspaper I printed wonky measurements for caramelized pear muffins, the recipe should have read, “2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour” and “3/4 cup granulated sugar.” A few batches later (because the muffins are really that good!), I also came to reduce the juices and sugar in the pan down to caramel and add that into the batter. I increased the teaspoon of vanilla to a tablespoon, crumbled a bit of brown sugar over the tops of the muffins before baking and admitted that the recipe makes 15 or 16 muffins, not an even dozen. Meanwhile, for pumpkin brulée, please combine the cream and milk and heat those together until steaming. (Alternately, for a full-fat experience, swap the milk for more cream.) And, similarly, when making seared chicken with mushroom cream sauce, add the chicken stock after the pan juices and

Fresh • Local • Sustainable •

Add brown sugar and cinnamon into a non-stick skillet over high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon for a few minutes until the sugar begins to melt. Add apples and toss gently (constantly at first, and then occasionally) until about halfway cooked. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, oil and vanilla. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Then, using a rubber spatula, fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Gently fold in apples.

Divide batter between 15-16 paperlined muffin cups (or 12 muffins and a mini loaf). Sprinkle tops with a little brown sugar.

FAITH

Considering the character of God

OST people would agree that character is revealed through actions — and through words. What we say and what we do pretty much defines what kind of person we are. Christian theology declares God is a person and, though no one can ever fully know God, we can get a good idea of his character by his actions and words. Recently, our resident gadfly atheist — KTW columnist Bill Ligertwood — was criticized by some for being a “bully.” In his rebuttal, Ligertwood pointed out the God of the Old Testament could arguably meet the definition of a bully and quoted several portions of scripture to prove his point. I’m not going to get into the irony of why an

CHRIS KEMPLING You Gotta Have FAITH atheist knows the Bible so well. However, Ligertwood raises an important point. What kind of character does God have and how can we reconcile the God of love with a God that sanctions genocidal ethnic cleansing? Here is the scripture in question, from chapter 20 of Deuteronomy: “. . . in the cities of these peoples that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall not leave alive anything that breathes. “You shall utterly

destroy the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite and the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, as the Lord your god has commanded you, in order that they may not teach you to do according to all their detestable things which they have done for their gods, so that you would sin against the Lord your God. “Not leave alive anything that breathes.” Wow. That is harsh. Donkeys, sheep, camels, babies, little boys and girls — everyone and every animal. The big question is why? What was it about these peoples that was so offensive to God? And, if they were so horrible, why wouldn’t he just destroy them himself as he did with Sodom and Gomorrah or the firstborn of Egypt? It may be instruc-

tive to look briefly at the conduct of the Canaanite tribes. They were polytheistic (worshipping many gods) and part of that worship often involved ritual prostitution by men and women. Much more disturbing was the practise of infant sacrifice. A fire was kindled inside a hollow metal sculpture of their god, Moloch, and a live baby was placed onto the red hot hands of the god. The dying screams were drowned out by loud drumming by the priests. Pretty nasty practice. The utter destruction of the Canaanites had two primary purposes: • God was using the Israelites to deliver a sentence of justice against a persistently immoral group of people. • He was doing so to prevent the moral contamination of the

Israelites. So, what does this order to destroy say about God’s nature? It’s important to look at the larger picture. Three things stand out about the character of God: Omnipotence, justice and holiness. First of all, God is omnipotent — all powerful. He can do as he likes. Do we criticize the potter when he destroys a flawed pot? No, because he made it and, if it does not meet his standards of quality, frankly, we expect he would destroy it. God destroyed every person on earth except Noah and his family because “the wickedness of man was great on the earth.” Secondly, God is a God of justice. We expect punishments should fit the crimes committed. When he had his

angels destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, it was because “their sin [was] exceedingly great.” Not only that, there were not even 10 righteous people to be found in those two cities. Justice requires a just punishment. Thirdly, and most importantly in this discussion, is the holiness of God. God endowed us with a soul and a spirit, which was intended for holiness from the beginning, for we were made in his “image” — not a physical image, but a spiritual one. The entire story of God’s relationship with humanity is one where we persistently fail to meet God’s high standard of holiness. Nevertheless, he constantly urges us to pursue holiness and is extremely patient with our faltering steps. But, he cannot abide unholy behaviour and

persistent rebellion against his high moral expectations. When I was 10, I got caught shoplifting (a 10-colour pen, all the rage at the time). My father took his belt to my backside — a just punishment back in the day. I don’t remember being sorry for the theft, but I do remember feeling extremely angry at my father for punishing me. It was not only his right, however, but his duty. I think people cannot stand the idea of a God who will punish them for their sins. But, his character demands it.
