How dangerous are the streets of Kamloops? By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

ANE WONDERS where Sandy and Sam are. She also wonders where some of the other women who work the streets and often call them home have gone. But, Jane says, they’re likely doing what they need to do to stay safe, like she does. Jane — no, it’s not her real name — no longer takes on new customers, sticking with those she knows. From her perspective and that of the agency that works with her, the streets of Kamloops aren’t very safe these days. Bob Hughes, executive director of ASK Wellness Centre — where Jane goes for a meal, to get warm or to talk with counsellors when she feels herself

slipping into addiction again — said the streets of the city have been more violent in recent months than in the past couple of years. It’s a view that is sparked by the stories he hears from the many clients of the Tranquille Road agency — but also by the news. “Monday morning, what’s the headline on the radio? Man beaten with a bat. Tuesday, it’s someone pulled a knife on someone,” he said. Hughes said the past summer was the most volatile he’s seen in the city in the last five years. He acknowledged, however, with a sex trade and street-level drugs being sold, violence is always likely. There are also the stories of Sandy Wilson and Samantha Paul, two women whose disappearances in April 2012 and September of this year, respectively, are

still being investigated by the RCMP. “Sandra’s disappearance was she’s there and she’s gone. Sam’s was the same. She’s there and then she’s gone,” Hughes said. He praised the work of the Kamloops RCMP. “But, the reality is two women, they have disappeared from this

community.” RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush disagreed with Hughes’ contention the streets are more dangerous now, citing statistics that show reported crimes against people have decreased in the past two years. Bush also noted there have been no more sexual assaults reported

in the past quarter than there were in the previous timeframe in 2012. Key to that statement, however, is the word “reported,” Bush said. “We don’t receive the same reports as he does,” she said of Hughes. “And, if we do get them, we have to investigate everything and, sometimes, there’s a problem

with credibility. “Bob can look at these things on their face value only, but the RCMP, we need to get all sides and get information we can present to the courts. “So, if someone reads your story and calls me and asks about the streets being more violent, I’m going to tell

them to go talk to Mr. Hughes because that’s his view, not ours,” Bush said. Jane said she has heard of women being assaulted, being beaten, being hog-tied by clients — but who still won’t talk to the police about it. She said she did. X See THERE A7

Cold snap has Kamloops shelters full this week By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The pressure isn’t letting up at the Kamloops Out of the Cold program. This week’s cold snap was enough to trigger a string of emergency shelter nights at St. Paul’s Cathedral on Nicola Street that will run until at least Friday, Nov. 22. Already, operations manager Sasha Smode said, the shelter is see-

PEACE OUT, LOUISE Louise Bick, a behaviour consultant with New Horizons Professional Support Services, received the Y Peace Medal on Wednesday, Nov. 20, at Desert Gardens Community Centre. Bick was honoured for her more than two decades of work with people in Kamloops with developmental disabilities. The presentation was part of the Kamloops Y Peace Week, which also includes a collection at all Y buildings of new or slightly used blankets and Yoga for Peace classes every noon hour at the downtown branch.

ing demand like never before. Tuesday saw 29 people seek shelter with Out of the Cold, which has funding for 28 beds. Another 23 people came in, but only stayed for a hot meal. “Twenty minutes into starting the program, at 7:20 p.m., we were already at 21,” Smode said. Out of the Cold wasn’t the only full shelter that night, Smode said. When she called Emerald House,

she was told the Victoria Street shelter was also full. “We’ve had some busy nights where we’ve been at capacity, but it was kind of beyond that this year,” Smode said. “I don’t think the guests were expecting the cold snap. People were lined up before we got there to set up. They were outside waiting to make sure they got a bed.” Thanks to a change in the way

B.C. Housing funds the winter shelter, which opens Wednesday nights regardless of the weather, this year Out of the Cold can use its emergency beds once the temperature drops to -7 C. That means the shelter is able to open more nights in a year in which Smode is seeing many new faces coming through the doors, while the shelter’s regular clients are getting older and more susceptible to the cold.

To keep up with demand, Smode is hoping to get more volunteers involved in the program, which mainly needs people for two- to three-hour shifts. She is also asking for more donations of winter clothing, as most of the previous donations were snapped up by Tuesday’s visitors. To volunteer, call 250-318-0236. To arrange to make a donation, call Smode at 250-320-2500.

‘Very thorough search’ led to discovery of murder victims By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A team of seven police officers spent two days walking “shoulder to shoulder” over every square inch of Roy Fraser’s Knouff Lake acreage in May 2009 searching for evidence of a pair of missing Kamloops men. “It was a very thorough search,” said RCMP Const. Mike Kube, taking the stand on Wednesday, Nov. 20, the seventh day of Fraser’s double-murder trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops. “Barring being on our hands and knees and going through every inch of the place, as far as the grounds of the property, it was a very extensive and systematic search.” Kube was in charge of organizing the search and was one of the seven Mounties tasked with scouring the nonbuilding portions of the property. Fraser, 56, is facing one count each of first- and second-degree murder in connection to the deaths of Ken Yaretz Jr., 26, and Damien Marks, 31. The two men, who were friends, were last seen alive on April 17, 2009. They were reported missing the following week and their bodies were uncovered in a shallow grave on Fraser’s property five weeks later. Kube said his team of searchers were looking for a number of things — one of them being any sign of disturbed earth.

“The team searched the property in what we call a grid search,” he told the 13-person jury. “All the members of the team stand shoulder to shoulder and search the property, looking at the ground and looking above.” Kube said anything of interest would be marked with a small metal flag for investigators to revisit later. One area the team marked wound up being the “grave-like hole,” as the Crown has described it, in which Yaretz Jr. and Marks were buried. “The whole team observed it because it was quite noticeable,” Kube said. On Tuesday, Nov. 19, the jury was shown hundreds of photos taken during the search of Fraser’s property, which began on May 25, 2009. The photos showed the excavation of the bodies of Yaretz and Marks. The bodies, in a five-foot-deep hole, were wrapped in a green tarp and tied with yellow rope. Court has previously heard Yaretz was an associate of the Independent Soldiers street gang and Jayme Russell, who was then the leader of the gang’s Kamloops cell. The jury has been told Yaretz signed over Fraser’s truck to members of the Kingpin Crew, a Kelowna-based outlaw motorcycle gang, to cover a debt. In a videotaped interview with police shortly after Yaretz and Marks vanished, Fraser told an officer he was upset about the truck not being returned to him.

Owner has 45 days to ďŹ x house By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The owner of a North Kamloops house will have 45 days to fix up her property after it stood vacant for five years following a fire in 2008. Kamloops council has declined to give Lynda Watt, owner of 356 McGowan Ave., another extension to clean up her home, which neighbours say attracts pigeons, is unsafe and has negatively impacted their health. Instead, council has agreed to give city staff the go-ahead to send workers in to clean up the house if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fit for human habitation by the end of the 45-day period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are unusual powers weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re suggesting that the city engage in,â&#x20AC;? Coun. Ken Christian, said, noting action must be taken in light of reports from the city building inspector that little work has been done on the house and findings from Kamloops Fire Rescue that the building violates the B.C. Fire Code. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my opinion, we owe it to the neighbourhood, the residents of McGowan Avenue, to know that, in January of 2014, this problem will be solved.â&#x20AC;?

How much work remains to be done at the house, which was the site of a fire in the fall of 2008, is a matter of some dispute. Neighbour Erin Edwards told council that when the door to the house is opened, people up the block can smell â&#x20AC;&#x153;garbage, feces, chemical deodorant and mothballs.â&#x20AC;? Edwards called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;house full of rotting garbage,â&#x20AC;? adding neighbours have noticed an increase in allergy symptoms, which they blame on the house. Watt did not make it to city hall this week to hear the decision, but said in comments forwarded to council that much more work has been done on the house than city reports would suggest and some of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requests, such as airquality sampling, are unnecessary. She also accused a city worker of warning off contractors and restoration companies who might have otherwise helped work on the property. City development and engineering director Marvin Kwiatkowski said contractors hired to work on the Watt house approached the city with concerns, not the other way around. Wattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, Sandra, speaking on behalf of her mother, esti-

ea e s e m Co emo! D l l i p S

mated it would take her about six more months to finish cleaning the house. Councillors decided to not wait that long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we want to find a solution thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compassionate to her and compassionate to the neighbourhood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what this is,â&#x20AC;? Coun. Nancy Bepple said. Coun. Pat Wallace, however, suggested going a step further. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I personally believe the house should be torn down, the lot sold, and the taxpayers get some relief,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting the Watts had dealt with bylaws officers over issues of garbage in their yard before the fire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I firmly believe we will deal with this issue again. Trust me, if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remediation, it will be back in front of us again in two years.â&#x20AC;? Kwiatkowski said staff did look at the case for demolition but, because the house is structurally sound, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal team advised pursuing other options. If the house is not fixed up in 45 days, Kwiatkowski said it will likely take about a week for cityhired workers to do remediation, at a cost of around $45,000, which would be added to the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property-tax bill.

The Craziest Store In Town!

Six months for student By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Thompson Rivers University international student who caused his friend permanent brain damage by stabbing him in the eye with a pool cue last year during an altercation at a downtown Kamloops nightclub might not be deported. Yousef Mohammed Almotairi, a 26-yearold Saudi national studying business at TRU, will, however, spend the next six months behind bars. Almotairi was convicted in July of one count each of assault and assault with a weapon stemming from the Nov. 3, 2012, incident at Cactus Jack’s nightclub. He was sentenced on Wednesday, Nov. 20, in B.C. Supreme Court. Court heard

Almotairi’s victim — Abdulaziz Alhedaib, also a Saudi international student — was the aggressor, reaching across the Cactus Jack’s pool table to punch Almotairi in the face. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Richard Goepel said he wasn’t convinced Almotairi intended to cause serious injury to Alhedaib. “While he intended to strike Mr. Alhedaibm, he did not intend to cause the damage he did,” the judge said. “He responded spontaneously. There was no planning or pre-meditation.” Court heard Almotairi, who has no prior criminal record, is also facing a civil action from Alhedaib. The Crown had been seeking a two-and-ahalf-year jail term for Almotairi, which would

have brought with it under federal law an automatic deportation upon the sentence’s expiration. However, if a foreign national’s sentence is six months or less, they are allowed to appeal their deportation. Goepel said he

considered Almotairi’s immigration status when deciding on a six-month sentence. In addition to the jail term, Almotairi will also be subject to a 10-year weapons prohibition and will have to submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database.

Kamloops’ clandestine backyard bee keepers will soon come out of the shadows. City council is moving ahead with a bylaw that will permit beekeeping on single-family lots in the city, at the request of the Kamloops division of the B.C Honey Producers Association. The bylaw, which will be developed in co-ordination with the group, will legitimize those already raising honey bees in the city and give a growing number of interested citizens a chance to erect their own apiaries, said association members Carl Anderson and Frank Blom. “Allowing the keeping of bees in the city will create a foundation for urban agriculture in the city,” Blom said, since bees pollinate about one-third of food crops.

‘There was nobody’ X From A1

Jane said she went with a new customer who drove her out to the edge of Kamloops, forced her out of the car and put a gun to her head. Holding the gun, he assaulted her and left her lying on the ground as he drove away. Jane called the police, handed over her clothing for analysis and is trusting Mounties to take her case seriously, but she acknowledged many street people mistrust the RCMP and aren’t likely going to go to them. Then, there’s the code of the street, which, simply put, means you don’t rat. But, they do talk on the street and the women Jane sees — fewer and fewer each week — want to know what happened to Wilson and Paul. Wilson was last seen on April 6, 2012, at the 7-Eleven store at 615 Seymour St. in downtown Kamloops. Her image was captured on the store’s video camera and is used when police return her story to the public’s attention. Paul’s last moments aren’t known, but no one has seen her

since Sept. 9 of this year. “It’s scary,” Jane said. Kira Haug, an ASK employee who works with street people, said the Internet has moved a lot of the sex trade off the street and, in doing so, has made it more difficult to keep tabs on the women. However, she added: “If you have your act together enough that you can build a page and you don’t meet at home, you probably have your ducks in a row.” Hughes points to at least two reports each week when suggesting there is an increase in violence against women. Paul and Wilson are suspected to be high profile examples of this, Hughes said, and the reality of their disappearances is with Jane every night she heads out to the streets. “It’s scary,” she said. “It’s scary to ask what happened. I’m scared to ask, but it would be nice to know. “I’m scared to think of what has happened to them. “We try to look out for each other because we’re like a family but, well, last night, I was downtown and there was nobody.”

An anniversary to remember to live by those words

IFTY YEARS AGO, I WAS still in elementary school. I remember clearly Grace Baker, my teacher, standing up at the front of the classroom when someone from the office came to the door and beckoned her aside. Miss Baker listened to something spoken in a hushed voice, came back into the classroom, sat down at her desk and started to cry. We all sat there so totally quiet and still, wondering what could possibly be going on when Miss Baker looked up and apologized. “I shouldn’t be doing this,” I remember her saying, “but I just learned President Kennedy is dead.” At an age that had yet to hit double-digits, I knew enough to know the world had just changed. It’s ironic, watching the CBC National this week, invariably with it starting the newscast with the latest stupidity from the Rob Ford circus and then seeing National host Peter Mansbridge move on to talk about John F. Kennedy. What a difference a few decades make. History has taught us Kennedy wasn’t the saint many of us thought he was but, rather, a flawed person with his own secrets. Back then, however, the media was more likely to let some of those stories pass by, to not turn them into headlines and to never, ever speak about them publicly. It wasn’t until years after Kennedy’s death that we would be reading stories he had an affair with Marilyn Monroe — among others

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL — that he had myriad health issues he didn’t want the voters to know about, that he used steroids to treat his colitis and that, if you look at what he actually accomplished in terms of legislation, there wasn’t all that much. Still, we forgive him for those character defects and we overlook what history has now told us because the man stood for something greater than we could imagine. He stared down the Soviet Union’s attempt to move nuclear weapons into Cuba, so we forgave him for the Bay of Pigs debacle. He stood solidly with divided Berlin, so we overlooked him sending young soldiers into divided Vietnam. He gave young people the Peace Corps and challenged them to go out and do good. Maybe we viewed him differently because, unlike our children today, we didn’t view the world as one war after another. The Second World War had ended just 17 years earlier. The Korean War had stopped just a decade before Kennedy boarded SS-100-X, the Lincoln convertible —

albeit modified to meet Secret Service requirements — and rode into history. Today, we have the never-ending updates on the powerless mayor of Toronto, who lists among his claim to fame a lot of statements the media has ripped to shreds within hours of the words leaving the man’s mouth. Some of us are willing to forgive him because, for them, all that matters is the money in their pocket, not the change that can be made around them. Most of us will never forgive him because he’s made a mockery of something a lot of us grew up thinking was part of a sacred trust. I’ve been lucky; I’ve lived my life in a time that had inspirational — but human — politicians like Kennedy and his two also deeply flawed brothers. I lived to see Nelson Mandela — a man some still consider a terrorist — released from Pollsmoor Prison in South Africa. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Stephen Lewis, an ex-politician who continues to do good works, now in Africa. I’ve watched as the Berlin Wall was finally torn down. I’ve seen the pathetic stories of greed and self-entitlement unfold in our own Senate and cannot escape the Ford Brothers circus. And that may be the real reason why many of us still see Nov. 22, 1963, as the day the world changed. The day when they silenced a man who once said: “We must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com

The behaviour of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has long since surpassed the realm of quirky and seen him sink to the depths to become a detriment to his community. That said, residents of Kamloops (and most B.C. communities) can feel lucky they are not facing a similar situation among their elected civic politicians. While the examples have been rare around here of a rogue mayor or councillor embarrassing themselves publicly or shedding a negative light on their municipality, extending municipal terms to four years from three, as Union of B.C. Municipalities members endorsed this fall, is not a good idea. The B.C. Community Charter states councillors can only be disqualified from office for not taking the required oath; missing meetings for 60 days or four consecutive meetings for reasons other than ill health or by leave of council; conflict of interest where influence or inside knowledge is used inappropriately; or the unauthorized use of money. The vast majority of councillors take seriously their oath of office and pecuniary responsibility to constituents. In the event individuals run into conflict, perceived or real, or exhibit questionable behaviour, councils are generally good at policing themselves. When further action clearly needs to be taken, the onus falls on the individual to do the right thing. As we’ve seen with Ford and local politicians, the results can be mixed. With few mechanisms at our disposal to oust individuals who prompt serious consideration of termination or forced resignation, the best avenue is still the ballot box — every three years.

Irate at BC Ferry rate increases Editor: I am irate after reading that BC Ferry rates are rising and routes are to be cut. Many areas are 100 per cent dependent on ferries. As a person with aging parents, I am especially upset with the increase in seniors’ fares. My parents retired to the Sunshine Coast and are ferry-dependent. They use the ferry to visit family living in the Lower Mainland and Interior and to attend medical appointments. The latter is a serious concern as the Sunshine Coast is not able to service some patients. If they raise prices, fewer people will be able to afford to travel via ferry, ridership will decrease, revenues will decrease and they will raise prices again to compensate for the losses. It’s a vicious circle. If they lowered prices, the cost of ferry travel would be more affordable for a larger sector of the travelling public. More travellers mean more revenues, not just in terms of fares, but also from spending onboard the ferries. BC Ferries should be working hard at getting people onto their boats, not keeping them off.

McGowan Avenue in need of neighbourly love Editor: I am appalled at the neighbours quoted in story in the Nov. 19 edition of KTW detailing Lynda Watt’s house on McGowan Avenue in North Kamloops (‘Derelict home again focus at council’). I have walked by that house daily for the last year and have become acquaintances with Watt, the owner. I’m shocked by the neighbours. I have seen them on their porches and in their yards, watching Watt and others move

Lynda Watt has 45 days to bring her McGowan Avenue house up to code. It has sat empty since a fire damaged the building in 2008. KTW reader Leah Gifford feels neighbours should lend a hand, rather than criticism. KTW file photo

heavy things with difficulty into a moving van — without offering a hand. I have seen Watt and others hauling away garbage in their van and working at the house. How can people say

little has been done? It doesn’t add up. How do they know what the condition is inside the house? When they had the birds removed, Watt told me she was just waiting until the neighbours

complained about that. How does one become responsible for neighbourhood birds? Some questions to the neighbours: • What have they done to help? Have they provided water? I have. Have they lent a hand in hauling some garbage or assisted with replacing plywood?

• Have they talked to Watt to determine any obstacles? • I believe she is a hoarder. Have they taken that into account? • Do they have any personal limitations? I’m happy to have Watt as a neighbour, but the rest of the neighbours seem very judgmental and lacking in integrity. I hope she meets the city’s 45-day deadline to fix her house and is able to move back into her home. Leah Gifford Kamloops

Why the discrepancy in meter-reading costs?

WHAT’S YOUR TAKE?

Editor: One year ago, on Nov. 15, 2012, within Kamloops This Week, there appeared a letter to the editor on the cost to install and read wired analogue water meters. This was for those Kamloopsians who didn’t want to opt for the wireless smart water meters.

VOTE ONLINE

That letter to the editor was written by Bob Taylor — and to his credit. After reading Taylor’s letter, we decided to have a wired analogue water meter installed. We had called the City of Kamloops and installation was done free of charge. The cost to have someone come out and read it works out

to just $8.33 a month ($25 quarterly). BC Hydro wants $35 a month to have someone read their wired analogue meter. That equals $420 a year. Seems a little extreme, doesn’t it? Les Evens Kamloops

Echoing call for traditional Remembrance Day Editor: Re: The Nov. 19 letter from Tom Konopski regarding this year’s Remembrance Day ceremony in Riverside Park (‘Let’s get back to traditional Remembrance Day event’): I agree with Konopski’s assessment of this year’s Remembrance day ceremony. Yes, do get back to the traditional introduction and more meaningful explanations of Remembrance Day. Well said, Tom. Les Larkin Kamloops

Let’s just build fence Editor: Regarding the ongoing problem with students jaywalking on Summit Drive: This same problem was solved on Tranquille Road near NorKam secondary by installing a fence on the centre median of the roadway. Could this be the solution to the same problem on Summit Drive? I believe so. Dave Giese Kamloops

Hybrid water-meter rate structure As most of the city moves onto metered billing, a handful of Kamloops properties are about to be introduced to a different rate scheme. Utility-services manager Micheal Firlotte told Kamloops city council that, while most households are getting normal water meters, just over 800 are getting pit meters, either because it’s too difficult to put a meter inside or because the property’s irrigation system isn’t routed through the house and that water consump-

tion can’t otherwise be captured. While most of those installations cost about $1,500 each, the price to install some pits — mainly in the West Battle Street area — has ballooned above $5,000 each because of retaining walls, unusual landscaping and other hurdles, Firlotte said. In the case of one Battle Street property, where installers would need to tear down a wall, remove a portion of sidewalk and do major excavation work, the pit meter would cost more than $15,000. Instead of spending that cash, Firlotte said the plan is to charge those homes a hybrid rate, in which they pay a lower metered charge for home water use, a flat

rate for irrigation and the fixed capital charge that all homeowners pay. The irrigation charge will be $115.29 per 1,000 square metres of property. That had Coun. Donovan Cavers worried that homeowners with just over a hectare of property are getting an unfair deal. Coun. Arjun Singh said homeowners paying more for irrigation might feel the urge to overconsume. “I can see people saying, ‘I’ve got this water I’m paying for, I’m going to make my lawn really green,” he said.

Council agreed to pass the new rate structure, with Singh and Cavers opposed.

The North Shore Business Improvement Association has another five-year lease on life. The organization, which is funded by a property-tax levy collected from local businesses, goes up for review every five years. At that time, businesses who don’t want to see the NSBIA continue can oppose renewal. If enough oppose — in this case, 159 businesses — the organization disbands. However, in the latest review, only 13 businesses did not want to see the NSBIA continue. In 2014, the NSBIA will collect $144,254 from area businesses, increasing to $156,143 at the end of its next five-year term in 2018.

City council reafﬁrms salary increaseTO PREPARE FOR OUR By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A second vote didn’t convince Kamloops city councillors to ditch a plan to raise councillor pay by about $10,000 by the end of the next term. Council’s new pay and benefits package, passed in late October, was back on the table at city hall this week as Mayor Peter Milobar used one of his more obscure mayoral powers to call for a second vote on the issue. Under section 131 of B.C.’s Community Charter, the mayor can ask council to reconsider its decision on an issue within 30 days of a vote. With only a few days left before time ran out, Milobar asked council to take another look at the pay plan, which will increase the salary of Kamloops’ next mayor from $74,000 to $86,000 and increase councillor pay from $25,000 to about $30,000 at the start of the next term and $34,000 by its end.

“It’s not something I’m relishing doing because it’s not something I think the mayor should do very often,” Milobar said. However, because three members of council — including the mayor — were absent from the meeting during which the pay package was passed, Milobar said many in the community don’t feel there was a clear consensus on the issue, which passed with a vote of 4-2. All three absentees had been critical of the raises. This time around, the new pay package passed by a vote of 5-4, with Milobar and councillors Marg Spina, Pat Wallace and Ken Christian opposed. No debate preceded the new vote, although Coun. Tina Lane told council she would be supporting the pay increase. Lange voted against the increase in October because she felt phasing in councillors’ raises over three years

favour of the recommendations brought forward by the community group,” Lange said.

DOWNTOWN CHRISTMAS

Santa Claus is coming

HE JOLLY OLD ELF WILL be making his annual visit to downtown Kamloops on Saturday, Nov. 30. Despite his incredibly busy schedule, Santa Claus has once again accepted the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association’s invitation and will be the focal point of the Santa Claus Parade. This year, the parade’s theme is The 4 R’s of Christmas — Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rudolph! Being as St. Nick will be tuckered out from appearing in so many pre-Christmas parades, kids will

be required to wake up Santa in Kamloops Square (at Seymour Street and Second Avenue) at 10:30 a.m. From there, the rosy-cheeked one will join his elves and jump on his sleigh, which will be led down Victoria Street and through the downtown core from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Those wishing to catch a glimpse of Santa can find a spot anywhere on Victoria Street between Second and Sixth avenues. Along with Santa, at least 75 floats will be featured in the popular parade. Included in the parade will be

DOWNTOWN CHRISTMAS

to the downtown parade the return of Kami the Trout, the iconic former mascot of Kamloops who has been making a comeback of sorts on socialmedia networks. The seven-foot-tall Kami will be leading the float created by the Rotary Club of Kamloops . Here is the legend of Kami the Trout, according to Tourism Kamloops: “Everyone who has lived in Kamloops for more than two decades knows Kami, a green and yellow, 10-gallon Stetsonwearing, gun-toting trout.

“He was, in his own fishy way, a Kamloops celebrity, and has made many public appearances at events over the years. Kami quietly swam from the forefront of the public eye in the 1990s and, over time, Kamloops became known as the Tournament Capital. “The pistol-toting Kamloops trout was disarmed, then retired, to live on in the memories of city residents; however, some believe he is still swimming around in the depths of the Thompson Rivers, forever keep-

ing watch over the meeting of the waters. • Meanwhile, for those who cannot wait to get into the Christmas spirit, the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, at 7 Seymour Street W., is the place to be this month. Until Nov. 30, Holiday Magic can be found at the centre in the form of one-of-a-kind gifts, all made by local artists. Holiday Magic runs Tuesdays to Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

His female passenger and the driver of the other vehicle were treated for non lifethreatening injuries. Police and the B.C. Coroners Service are involved in the investigation.

on a no-contact with her,” Janse said. “There is no question that, if released, Mr. Pearase will have contact with [the victim] and will assault her again. “Protection of the public and, most importantly, [the victim], requires his detention.” Pearase is due back in court on Nov. 28.

She will be remembered in the hearts of her loving family, husband Ray Davies, sister Julie Carriere, Brother Laurie (Roxanna) Carriere, and sister in law Gail Carriere. She will be fondly remembered by numerous nieces, nephews and family. Elize was born in Calgary, Alberta September 7, 1955. She moved to Kamloops with her family in 1970. She enjoyed children and worked for a short time at the Kamloops Child Development Center. She met Ray and they married in 1984, they loved to camp and spend time with their family and friends. She loved animals and you would always find a cat and dog or more sharing their home. She enjoyed various hobbies and worked many volunteer hours at the Blazer games and other Kamloops Major Events. Elize was a gentle soul and will be sadly missed by all those who knew and loved her. Thank you to all friends and relatives for their support at this difficult time. A special thank you to the doctors, nursing men and women, and all others involved in her care. A Celebration of her life will be held on Monday, November 25, 2013 at 1:00pm in the Schoening Cremation Centre Chapel 177 Tranquille Road. In lieu of flowers donations to the Canadian Cancer Society in memory of Marie Elize Davies will be greatly appreciated. Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454 www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Beating victim now behind bars A Kamloops man who was beaten up with baseball bats after allegedly assaulting his longtime girlfriend — all while on bail for another alleged assault on the same girlfriend — will spend the foreseeable future behind bars. Dwayne Pearase was denied bail in Kamloops provincial court on Tuesday, Nov. 19, on allegations he assaulted his girlfriend and breached his bail conditions. The 39-year-old was arrested in the earlymorning hours of Nov. 13 after a report of a man being beat up at the Tournament Inn. Crown prosecutor Alex Janse said Pearase had been living at the motel, located on the Trans-Canada Highway in Valleyview. “He claimed that unknown males attended his room and beat him with baseball bats,” she said. “When asked why, he said they were mad at him because he’d hit a girl.” Pearase was taken to Royal Inland Hospital. While he was being dealt with by doctors, police received a complaint about an injured woman — Pearase’s girlfriend — at the Emerald House women’s shelter. The woman told police Pearase pushed her, causing her to fall

MATHILDA CHARBONNEAU

December 8, 1918 – November 12, 2013

Oct. 26, 1925 - Nov. 9, 2013

May 6, 1952 ~ November 13, 2013

Just shy of her 95th birthday, Mom left us peacefully to be with her loving husband Victor and many other angels, in the kingdom of God. She is predeceased by her husband Victor Arduini, siblings Arthur, Bill, Evelyn and Cyril, and in-laws Joe, Mary and Nellie and grandson Daniel. Pat was the youngest of five children born to Eveyln and Charles Robinson on Dec. 8, 1918 in William Head (Esquimalt), BC. At the age of 2 the family moved to Vancouver and a few years later they settled in Kamloops. Pat graduated from Kamloops High School and started work as a lawyer’s receptionist. One day needing to get home, she and her friend accepted a ride from a young gentleman, named Victor. Six months later they were married and spent 59 wonderful years together before his passing. Mom was devoted to the Catholic Church. She was a member of both the Little Flower Society, and the Catholic Women’s League. With 14 children, there was little time for hobbies, other than laundry and cooking. Mom loved to cook and it was always enjoyed by many people. As her children left home she found time for gardening, her yard filled with many flowers. She and Dad loved to go for drives in the countryside; they travelled to Italy, Hawaii and Reno several times, with her last big trip to Vegas at 91yrs old. As well, Mom enjoyed camping with her grown family, continuing until she was 92. Mom never backed down from a challenge, including her courageous fight with Alzheimer’s disease. Mom will forever be in the hearts of her 14 children, Gregory (Leslie), Vicki (Jack), Timothy (Marti), Peter (Dee), Paul (Sylvia), James (Emma), Thomas (Janet), Mary (Bob), David (Marianne), Christopher (Mo), Teresa (Sam), Vincent (Stephanie), Catherine (Jennifer), Monica (Chuck), former son-in law Victor, her grandchildren and great grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews. We would like to thank our sister Teresa for her love, devotion and continual care of Mom, as well as the staff of Ridgeview Lodge, Ponderosa Lodge, High Country Home Care and Drs. Winn and Anders.

Alice Clara Miller of Kamloops passed away on November 9, 2013 at the age of 88. Alice was predeased by husband William Otto Miller on February 26 2002 and by sister Kay a year to the day November 9, 2012. Alice is survived by children Jim (Lorna), Gordon (Suzan), Ralph (Paulette), Tom, Dorothy (Mario), Eric (Bernice), grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as sisters Rose and Edith. Alice loved her family and will be missed dearly. She was a life member of the Clearwater Women’s Institute. She also enjoyed her quilting and gardening. “Red will really miss you, Grannie” The Family would like to thank Dr. Bantock for taking care of Mom.

In lieu of ﬂowers, should friends desire, donations to the charity of one’s choice in Pat’s memory, would be appreciated.

Special thanks to Dana and Baltic 1 Staff at Ridgeview Lodge for caring for Mom.

PETER PRICE Peter Ronald Price, 64, of Vernon BC, passed away on November 17, 2013 at the Vernon Hospice House, with his family by his side. Pete fought a valiant 4 year battle against colorectal cancer and, to the end, faced each day with passion. Pete was born to the late Ron and Pearl Price on September 25, 1949, and grew up in the Hullcar area of Armstrong. He later attended B.C.I.T. in Burnaby to become a tinsmith. Trucks and the transportation industry were Pete’s passion. He was the operations manager at D.C.T. for many years and culminated with the Vedder Group in Langley. He was quick to make close friends and throughout his career and personal life was always the life of the party. He lived life large and was always in the sunshine; the Vernon Yacht Club, Coal Harbour, boating to Desolation Sound, riding his Harley, and driving the coach to Palm Springs where his lot was always the gathering place with many close friends. A trip with the family to Las Vegas and attending the Barrett-Jackson Auction were among his last pleasures. Pete is survived by his loving partner of 20 years, Priscilla Sookarow and their children: Nadine, West Vancouver; Scott (Nusia, sons Nathan and Sam, Dallas, Texas); Tyler (Elena, son Harrison, Victoria). He is also survived by two brothers, Jim (Rose, children Ronnie, Kathy and Todd) and Al (Velma, son Chad). He will be missed dearly. Pete was predeceased by his nephew Kyle in 2001. Pete’s wish was that everyone over 40 have a colonoscopy so this disease can be detected early. At his request, no service will be held and in lieu of ﬂowers, donations to the Vernon Hospice House will be warmly accepted.

Why women can negotiate a better car deal By Alexandra Straub For many people, buying a car is a stressful process. Something worse than going to the dentist or for women, a Brazilian waxing. Ouch. It can be a lengthy one too. Furthermore, it doesn’t always start by going from dealership to dealership. In fact, most people have access to the Internet, so they’re doing their research beforehand, prior to even leaving their home and finding themselves on a dealer lot, or with glossy brochures in hand. They look at various vehicle reviews, flip through newspapers (like the one you’re reading now) and ask other car owner’s opinions. When they get to the dealership, that’s when it becomes real. You take the car for a test drive, fall in love with it or walk away from it. When you find “the one” then comes the time to sign on the dotted line. But before you seal the deal, it’s time to negotiate, unless you’re happy with the price given. For women, this can be an even more intimidating process. Getting through the dealer’s door is just the first hurdle they feel they have to overcome. But for Vijay Jeyapalan, of Unhaggle (www. unhaggle.com), which helps Canadian car buyers get the best price on their new car by getting dealers to compete to offer the lowest price – he’d argue that women are better negotiators than men; an idea that challenges societal norms when it comes to car buying. Jeyapalan says, “Before stepping into the showroom or test-driving a vehicle,

most women are recognized to have done their homework and pre-purchase preparations. This advantage allows them to properly assess what they want upon arrival and ask the necessary questions to advance the car buying process.” His point centres on the notion that when you know less, you prepare more. With all the tools out there, it’s not as difficult or as timeconsuming as it has been in the past. Sites dedicated to women and automobiles are there to assist, as well as female car reviews, lifestyle writers, mommy bloggers and more. He adds that women don’t mind shopping around, browsing at various products, taking the information and then contemplating it. They aren’t always in a hurry to buy right then and there. “Many are convinced that the forceful tactics men use during negotiations are actually working against them in car buying situations. Men tend to focus on status and act upon superiority, which is a poor way of negotiating. “While the man says, ‘Take it or leave it,’ the woman might be more collaborative and willing to compromise—thus making them better negotiators. Listening is the key, not aggression and intimidation.” He goes on to say that, “Women understand that a common ground is usually the best platform for a fair negotiation. Empathy plays a large role in that regards. Being able to view the situation from another person’s perspective doesn’t necessarily create an advantage, but it does allow the person to understand why they aren’t getting the upper hand.”

Statistics show that more women are making car purchases that ever before. Granted they might not be experts when they walk in the door, but they generally know what they want. “The image of a damsel lost in a showroom, if it ever actually existed, is no longer something salespeople will see.” alexandra.straub@ drivewaybc.ca

DODGE NUMBER ONE

THE

SALES EVENT

CANADA’S BEST-SELLING MINIVAN IS PRICED TO MOVE.

AS GOOD AS

7.9 L/100 KM HWY ¤

Driving to cut big oil profits By Keith Morgan They should just call the 2014 Honda Accord Plug-in Hybrid Sedan the Gas Miser. The car is here for market testing right now but surely, it will see production next year and arrive in dealerships later in the year. And when it does sell your shares in Big Oil. It only sips gas by the spoonful; how else do you account for an easily achievable 4.1 L/100km combined city/highway fuel economy rating? Drive gently around town and you can purr along in all-electric mode for between 20 and 28 kilometres depending on road conditions. You won’t achieve that all at once, unless it’s the dead of night on a flat road, without any other traffic and green lights all the way. However, it is estimated that if you achieve that 20-plus all-electric ride during a 100 km journey, the power unit will consume electricity/gasoline at an equivalency of around 1.6 L/100km. In truth, it’s hard to put a real life meaning into that number but it is useful when comparing with other similarly equipped cars. But when you look at that number and the low gas/hybrid combined fuel performance, which enables you to journey 800 kilometres on one tank, it does plant the notion in one’s head that plug-in hybrids are the way to go for a while before we reach hydrogen fuel cell nirvana. The car is powered by Honda’s

first two-motor hybrid system, and uses a new, delightfully named, Earth Dreams 2.0 litre i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine producing 137 horsepower, teamed with a powerful 124-kilowatt (kW) electric motor. Electric driving is supported by a 6.7 kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery, and total system output is 196 horsepower. If your eyes glazed over at the obligatory statement of power unit specifications, join the club! Fuel economy interests me more. Like every other car with green aspirations that I have driven, it coaxed me into a little competition with myself every time out to achieve maximum fuel efficiency. It’s fun to select EV mode and pull away in the morning in silence, operating as a pure electric vehicle. Even in stop and go traffic, it works well, the regenerative braking keeps topping up the battery. As the speedo creeps up the gas engine kicks in quietly and smoothly. If you select HV mode it operates as a conventional hybrid. I drove a production version of the Ford Fusion Energi a few months ago, which is similarly equipped and impresses equally with its infrequent need to visit the pump. The plug in Toyota Prius is another contender for the green dollar. The Ford is probably the nearest equivalent and sells for around $35,000 so that will be the sticker price to beat. I would like to hear from early adopters of the plug in hybrid technology about their experiences. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

There are not too many days on the calendar skiers and snowboarders look forward to more than opening day at the mountain. The chairs will be churning at Sun Peaks Resort on Saturday, Nov. 23. “The three main lifts are open — Sunburst, Sundance and Morrisey — plus Crystal and Elevation on Tod Mountain,” said Brandi Schier, Tourism Sun Peaks’ media specialist. “This is definitely one of the best opening days in recent years, terrain-wise, and for what lifts will

be open.” In the week leading up to Wednesday, Nov. 20, the resort received 50 centimetres of snow, which brought the mid-mountain base to 70 centimetres and the alpine base to 80 centimetres, according to Schier. “Most runs from those lifts will be open with good early-season conditions, but which ones exactly will be open won’t be determined until closer to Saturday.”

This contest-winning group was treated to a day of skiing and snowboarding at Sun Peaks Resort on Wednesday, Nov. 20. The alpine chairs open to the public on Saturday, Nov. 23. All nordic trails are open. Sam Egan photo

Go online to sunpeaksresort.com for the latest snow information. All the nordic trails at Sun Peaks are open. Schier, an avid snowboarder, was on the mountain with a group of contest winners granted early

access to the mountain on Wednesday. “I’m super pumped,” she said. “Getting out there this morning was amazing.” Mountaingoers are encouraged to ski and ride carefully because there are early-season hazards to avoid.

Bosher nets full-ride lacrosse scholarship to NCAA Div 1 school Jeremy Bosher’s lacrosse exploits have earned him a full-ride scholarship to the University of Denver, an NCAA Division 1 school. He will play field lacrosse for the Pioneers while pursuing a kinesiology degree. Bosher, who moved to the Tournament Capital in 2005 and attends NorKam secondary, is a product of the Kamloops Minor Lacrosse Association

and Elev8, a Calgarybased elite fieldlacrosse program. Among his achievements are gold and silver medals at nationals playing for Team B.C. In 2012, he was the leading scorer and MVP at the nationalchampionship tournament in Whitby, Ont.

Jeremy Bosher signs with the University of Denver.

Like the rest of his Kamloops Blazers’ teammates, Cole Ully is tired of losing — and he’s tired of talk that isn’t backed up with action. “We’re good in spurts and it’s going to take a full 60 for us to win games this year and we know that, but we’ve got to start doing it,” said Ully, a forward from Calgary. “We’re saying the right things in the room, but it just hasn’t been executed yet.” The Blazers, who have now lost six WHL games on the trot, are at the bottom of the Western Conference. Kamloops is in Victoria for backto-back games with the Royals on Friday, Nov. 22, and Saturday, Nov. 23. The Blue and Orange played pretty well in the last 40 minutes of a 2-1 loss to the Royals at Interior Savings Centre on Tuesday, Nov. 19, but a sloppy, uninspired first frame was its undoing. Tyler Soy and Steven Hodges scored power-play goals for the visitors in the first stanza — a period in which the Blazers were hesitant in their own zone and coughed up too many turnovers. The home team clawed its way back into the game with a better offering in the second frame and Chase Souto scored on the power play to bring his team within one of the Royals. Kamloops outshot Victoria 43-35 on the night, with its best chances coming in the second and third periods. The Blazers pressured their B.C. Division rivals from Vancouver Island, but Victoria netminder Patrik Polivka withstood the onslaught. He made 42 saves in the win. Blazer bench boss Dave Hunchak said his goaltender, Taran Kozun, might have stopped Hodges’ first-

period marker, but he added the Nipawin, Sask., product made a pair of saves on Victoria breakaways to keep the Royals from establishing a two-goal lead. Kozun stopped 33 shots in a losing cause. Kamloops defenceman Josh Connolly made plays all night. Souto, who has 15 goals on the campaign, is in an imperial mood. Ully looked dangerous at times. Captain Matt Needham worked hard. The Blazers just can’t seem to find enough goals and they can’t afford elongated stints of shoddy play like the ones they had in the first period on Tuesday. “Obviously, it’s tough and you want to win, but the guys are trying to stay positive,” said Ully, who assisted on Souto’s goal. “We’re starting to score a little bit more and we outshot them tonight, so we’ve got to take positives out of it.” “Hopefully, we can steal a few wins in their barn.”

Blazers make a deal Kamloops acquired Luke Harrison from Victoria in exchange for a sixthround pick in the 2014 WHL bantam draft on Tuesday. Harrison, an 18-year-old forward, has three goals in 15 games this season.

Reaching the scoresheet for the Vikings were Mitchell Coxon (2G), Felix Demsey (1G, 1A), Matthiew Coxon (1G), Owen Cupello (1G), Brendan Ice (1G) and Julien Fehr (1A). Ryerson Palmer handled goaltending duties for the Vikings. Tallying points for the Hitmen were Tristan Coetzer (1G, 1A) and Nick Bradley (1G). David Browning was between the pipes for the Hitmen.

The Kamloops Classic Swimming club earned some serious hardware on the weekend at the Langley Olympian Invitational Swim Meet. There were 22 Classics at the meet and they combined to bring 32 medals back to Kamloops — 10 gold, eight silver and 14 bronze. Taryn MacLeod was the outstanding overall performer at the meet for the Classics, posting personal-best times in each of the events she entered and narrowly missing out on qualifying for the Western Canadian Swimming Championships in the 100-metre and 200-m freestyle events. Competing in the 14-andunder-girls’ category, MacLeod won silver in the 100-m and 200-m freestyle and bronze in the 100-m backstroke and 50-m freestyle. Keana Smart, in the 10-andunder-girls’ division, won silver in the 100-m breaststroke and bronze in the 50-m fly, 200-m free, 50-m breaststroke, 50-m free and 200-m individual medley. Meaghan Frenks

and Gabrielle Dagasso swam in the 15-and-over girls’ division. Frenks won the 100-m breaststroke and placed third in the 200-m breaststroke while qualifying for the Canadian Age Group championships, which will be held in Winnipeg next summer. Gabrielle Dagasso won gold the 100-m fly, silver in the 50-m freestyle and bronze in the 100-m free. Michael Dagasso, in the 10-and-under boys’ category, won gold in the 50-m fly and 100-m fly and bronze in the 200-m freestyle. Swimming in the 12-andunder boys’ division, Ryley McRae won gold in the 100-m fly and bronze in the 200-m free. Emily Dagasso placed first in the 100-m backstroke in the 14-and-under girls’ category. Austin Phillips, in the 14-and-under boys’ division, won the 200-m fly — qualify-

ing for the age group championships — and a silver in the 100-m backstroke. In the 15-and-over boys’ division, Sky Camille won silver in the 50-m freestyle. Megan Dalke, in the 15-andover girls’ division, won the 400-m individual medley and set a new club record. She also won silver in the 200-m freestyle and 200-m backstroke. Ethan Phillips won gold and set a new club record in the 200-m backstroke event, swimming in the 14-and-under boys’ group. He also placed first in both the 400-m individual medley and 200-m freestyle. Colin Gilbert, swimming in the 15-and-over boys’ division, won bronze in both the 200-m freestyle and 200-m fly. Eloise Ladyman swam in the 14-under-girls’ division and established an age group qualifying time in the 100-m fly. There were 20 clubs from across the province at the meet.

Cory Sincennes knows grit and dirt. He knows how to use it, where to use it and what impact it will have when Western Canada Theatre audiences first see the set of Les Miserables, which opens next week. He hopes that, when the darkness ends and the stage lights come on, the audience will feel the grandeur of the play, but also be drawn immediately into the emotional journey of the many characters, the despair, the struggles and the intimate totality of what is, in essence, the story of one man and his quest to do the right thing.

As set designer for the play, which runs from previews on Thursday, Nov. 28, to Wednesday, Dec. 11, it was the Edmonton-based Sincennes’ job to create the Paris of the early 1800s, a task he said was intriguing because “we needed to create a grand show with a regional budget.” Sincennes, who planned to be an architect until he realized his skills could be used in theatre, said he and WCT artistic director Daryl Cloran — who is also directing the play — “wanted to do something different and unique. “You have to pay homage to some of the things people are looking for,” he said, “But, I put my own spin on it — but, not so far away from the heart of the piece.”

More than 130 costumes in play X From B1

That’s why the grit and grime are essential elements, why the massive set that is being transported from Pavilion Theatre to Sagebrush Theatre was created to immediately plunge the audience into the emotions that will envelop the 20-member cast. The cast features some familiar actors from previous WCT productions — Robyn Wallis (Cosette), Shane Carty (Javert) and David Adams (Monsieur Thenardier) and others. It also has several new-to-Kamloops actors in major roles, including Amy Wallis (Eponine), Barbara Barsky (Madame Thenardier) and David Kelley (Jean Valjean). Because the cast is smaller than many other larger theatres might use, some of the actors have multiple roles, including Alan Corbishley, Michael Culp, Caitlin Goulet, Sheanna Beau James, Kevin Mulligan, Tracey Power, Leon Willey and Kirk Smith. There are more than 130 costumes required for the 22 actors, with some having as many as 20 costume changes to make, some of them with just 30 seconds to get out of, get into and get back on stage. Sincennes said work began on the set in July and, once it is reassembled at Sagebrush, it will be one of the tallest ever to be used there. More than 400 hours have gone into painting alone. It required more than 2,500 feet of hemp rope. It is massive and mobile to allow for quick set changes when required. Much of the set will be pushed forward on the stage, Sincennes said, to help foster the feeling of intimacy. While he’s been designing sets and costumes for decades, his interest actually began in high school, when

he would create sets and spend time behind

the curtain for school plays. It’s why he was delighted to be able

to meld his interest in architecture, which

he studied at Carleton University, with his love of theatre.

He works on up to a dozen plays across the country each year and is excited to get back to work on one he is doing for the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton — Mary Poppins, a play that will be the biggest one yet for him to design, with its many settings and the need to create different sides of life in England. He’ll be in the audience, though, when the house lights go out and the stage lights come up. And he knows already that he will see

things he wished he had done differently with the set. “Nothing’s ever perfect,” he said. “I’ll think, ‘Oh, I could have done that differently’ or ‘I should have done that’.” But, he also knows there will be details no one else in the audience is likely to notice as they watch Valjean on his quest of faith and trust. “The music hits you in such an emotional way,” Sincennes said. “This is one of those shows you can’t really mess up.”

Grandfather’s best Christmas gift

HERE ARE fewer than five weeks to Christmas and we have been privileged to receive some touching seasonal stories over the years. This week, we pass on another tale that should help us remember the true meaning of the season — The Best Christmas Gift My Grandfather Ever Received. We have edited the story for length, but this is the way it was related to us: My grandparents, Henry and Mary, were the heart and soul of family holidays — especially at Christmas. No matter how far away our lives took us, we always tried to get home for Christmas, and “home” was where my grandparents were. Maybe we loved being around them so much because it seemed that, as years and decades rolled by, they seemed closer and more in love than before. If we hadn’t seen them for many months, it was almost startling to see the gentleness and tenderness in how they treated each other, looked at each other and spoke to each other. The love and devotion they had for one another seemed to spill out to all of us and to the community. They were always involved in one good cause or another — raising money, organizing community events and always doing these things together. As a child, I took all of this for granted and it was only when I was an adult with children of my own that I realized how profoundly their example influenced my parents, me and my siblings and the rest of our entire extended family.

The most cherished Christmas tradition in our family was the Christmas story they read to us, but aimed at the youngest children. They read the same story every year, alternating each paragraph, an event that happened every year since I could remember. The large-print children’s book they read from was old and faded, but in remarkably good condition as it was put away for safekeeping every year until the next Christmas. It was what many would call a corny little story, about how a little boy gave his treasure box of childish treasures to the newly born Jesus and, upon realizing how others had given gold and other valuables, he felt ashamed of his unworthy gift of childish things. Of course, the moral of the story is about how this simple gift was elevated above all others because it was a gift of the heart and not of monetary value. The story always touched me as a child and as an adult. It’s a beautiful message and teaches our children and reminds adults that our worth is not about what we accumulate in life. One day, word spread to all members of the family that Grandma Mary had been very ill and was diagnosed with an aggressive form of inoperable cancer. It was springtime, but she told my mother she wanted to live for another Christmas gathering with the family. Unfortunately, that was not to be and Grandma Mary died on a

September morning with most of us able to make the trip “home” to see her before she died. At Christmas, we all wondered how her passing would affect Grandpa and the spirit of our family gathering. To my surprise, Grandpa Henry was the same loving, gentle, smiling and happy person he always was at family gatherings — and he insisted on reading the Christmas story again this year. “I wish I could read Mary’s parts in her voice,” he told the youngest children with a grin, “But, you’ll have to live with mine for the whole story.” When he opened the large book in his lap, he seemed to pause for a long time as he looked intently at the first page. His eyes glistened a little, but his grin remained fixed as he launched into the story and read it through as a solo performance for the first time. It had the same effect on all of us as it had in the past, warming our hearts and reminding us of what the true value of our “gifts” in life really are. He handed me the book to put away for another year and, as I was about to slip it into the drawer I remembered his long pause before starting and opened the book to the first page. Taped to the blank left page was a handwritten note in Grandma Mary’s unmistakable writing: “Dearest Henry, I would not feel Christmas was complete until I gave you my Christmas gift – I love you more than always. Mary”

NOW IS THE

TIME TO SWITCH!

My grandfather read the Christmas story several more years before he passed away and, every year, we witnessed the same pause, glistening eyes and wide grin before he started. We all knew the reason and we all kept silent about it; after all, it was Grandma’s last Christmas gift to Grandpa and the

Christmas Bazaar & Silent Auction

only one he needed. Thanks for reading our column and for all your kind comments. If you have a Christmas story, a question or a comment to share with us, send it to Kamloops@cmha.bc.ca and follow us on Twitter @CMHAKamloops because we always love to hear from you.

Fourteen years ago following my own coronary attack I decided to follow the research of Dr. Linus Pauling, Professor Williams Stehbens and Dr. Sydney Bush and take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine. I am turning 90 soon and I am glad I did!

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel Prize winner, claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams of vitamin C to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Dr. William Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Auckland University in New Zealand emphasized that coronary arteries are under more pressure than any other arteries in the body. They’re under constant pressure while the heart beats 100,000 times every 24 hours, or 37 million times a year, and 2.2 billion times if you live to 70 years of age.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C and lysine can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later new pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. Now you can take the right combination of vitamin C and lysine in a powder form I developed called Medi-C Plus™.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Renters!! Are you ready to buy?

Consider Typhoon Haiyan

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

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

“

WE’VE BEEN telling the rest of the world we don’t want what’s happening to us to happen to everyone else,” said Lucille L. Sering, the vice-chair of the Philippines’ Climate Commission,, as the country struggled to cope with the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan. “This is your early warning system . . . we will all eventually be victims of this phenomenon.” More than a week after the typhoon roared through the eastern Visayas, the number of people killed is still unknown. Ten-thousand dead is the number being used in the media, but the area around Tacloban city alone may have lost that many. Many other parts of Samar and Leyte islands are still inaccessible to both media and

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH aid workers. Another reason the death toll remains unknown is that the victims are still dying in large numbers — and not all of them from infected wounds and other storm-related injuries. The chronically ill are dying because vital medicines and medical procedures like dialysis are unavailable. They will soon be joined by those who die of infectious diseases like dysentery, cholera and typhoid fever, which become epidemic

about a week after sanitation services break down. Most of these later deaths could have been prevented if emergency aid had arrived more quickly after the typhoon struck, and there will doubtless be one or more inquiries later on that find various authorities at fault for responding too slowly. But, these are islands and most airports and harbours in the worsthit areas are out of commission. There were bound to be long delays in getting aid in after a calamity of this scale. But, the questions people will be asking elsewhere are: Will we really all become victims of this and similar phenomena? Is this truly an early warning of storms so big and strong that they will change the way we

live? The answer, of course, is maybe. As scientists always hasten to explain, you can never attribute a particular weather event to climate change with complete confidence. Normal variations in the weather include occasional extreme events as destructive as all but the very worst storms that you would see in a world that was, say, 2 C warmer. The difference is that, in a warmer world, you will see a lot more of these extreme events. However, consider this. The Philippines is the most-exposed large country in the world to tropical cyclones. Their tracks most often take them across northern Luzon or the eastern Visayas, and about six to nine of them make landfall each year. They do a lot of damage but, by and

an early-warning system large, Filipinos have learned to ride them out. But, you cannot just ride out something as big as Haiyan. What did most of the killing in Samar and Leyte last week was not the high winds (although they stripped off almost every roof in the affected areas). It was the storm surge that submerged coastal regions to the height of a two-story building. The pressure at the centre of the typhoon was so low that a hump of water six metres (20 feet) high was pushed up beneath the eye and travelled with it. Shelters are not much good against that sort of thing unless (as in Bangladesh) you start building them on elevated platforms. Even then, you may decide you want to move elsewhere if

Erik de Castro photo

your city is going to be inundated and destroyed every 10 years or so. The east coast of Luzon is very sparsely populated for precisely this reason and this may be the future that awaits the eastern Visayas as well if storms of this scale become more frequent. The very worst typhoon that hit the Philippines since detailed records began in the 19th century was Thelma, which killed about 5,100 people in 1991. But, of the next worst nine, all of which

killed over a 1,000 people, six have happened in the past decade: 2004, 2006, 2008, 2011, 2012 and 2013. So, Haiyan may really be an early warning of what is to come, not just for the Philippines, but for China and Japan, Burma and Bangladesh, the Windward Islands and Florida — indeed, for any coastal area that is within a thousand kilometres of the usual tracks of tropical storms. At some point, people will decide it’s just not worth living in such constant danger.

They will become, for want of a better phrase, climate refugees. In some areas, it will be frequent megastorms that drive them out. In other areas, it will be drought and desertification, or heat so great it kills the crops upon which people depend. There are going to be a lot of refugees — and not many places that are willing to let them in. Lucille Sering is right: This is an early warning of how the warming will unfold and what the impacts on human societies will be. But, we are getting lots of early warnings, and, so far, we are managing to ignore them all. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London, England. gwynnedyer.com

When Husband went bananas

N ELSIE’S FIRST morning on Mayne Island, having woken late, she found Husband had already been up since, oh, six in the morning or so. He was sitting in a chair in the living room and he asked, when Elsie entered the kitchen, whether she knew how to work the espresso machine that came with the vacation home they were renting. She imagined his three long hours of longing — three hours of tamping, of frustration, trying to fiddle with the delicate parts. Three hours of low blood-caffeine levels. “I’m really desperate,” Husband said. “You couldn’t have used the Cuisinart [drip] machine, then?” she asked, pouring a stream of filtered water into the coffee maker’s inner workings and scooping level spoonfuls of grounds into the basket; prepared, as wives are wont to be,

Sift together first five ingredients. Whisk together buttermilk, mashed bananas and vanilla. With a handheld mixer on medium-high, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Into this, beat half the flour mixture, followed by the banana mixture, and the last of the flour, until just combined. Fold in pecans and chocolate. Transfer batter to a buttered and floured 8x8-inch cake pan. Bake at 350 F for 55-60 minutes, until a tester comes out clean. Set pan on a rack 10 minutes. Loosen sides with a knife, turn out, and cool completely.

Handing over her phone so Husband could be instructed directly, she thanked Randy for the help and for the getaway house. Elsie sipped her coffee. She found a second square of banana cake. She couldn’t help overhearing the phone conversation. “Yes. Yes. I’ve done that. It doesn’t seem to work. If I take the filter out of the dispenser, it fits in nicely but, when I return the filter, it won’t screw into place.” And, so, as Husband tried this, Randy advised that and, as Husband tried that, Randy advised this. Then, because one or the other or both of them were ready to erupt with the steam which the espresso maker would not, Randy gave up on his end, saying there was nothing else he could advise. Dejected, Husband hung up the phone. He sighed. He sighed again. The day, if not then entire trip,

now seemed a little doomed. Then it struck Elsie plain as the day is long: “What if you simply removed some of the coffee? Perhaps you have over-packed the basket?” “Hmm,” said Husband. And Elsie could almost see the gears in his head consider whether or not to take a non-espresso machine-user’s advisement. But, he did. And when he did — CLICK! — the part fit perfectly and he did exclaim, “Well, will you look at that?”

TRICO RIH C. difﬁcile outbreak is over FREE PREMIUM WIPER BLADES

After a couple of weeks of stepped-up cleaning, extra hand-washing and requesting visitors limit their time there, Royal Inland Hospital has declared its bout of C. difficile to be done. Cases were limited to the dozen first diagnosed, although other patients with similar symptoms were tested. Two patients with the bacteria died, but the cause was related to age and other health

issues, according to Interior Health Authority communications officer Michaela Snow. The others have recovered from the infection. During the outbreak period, 14 surgeries were cancelled and the seventh floor’s north wing was isolated. There has been no identification of the C. difficile bacteria, which health officials say is commonly found among the public.

FAITH

As the Bible notes, the writing is on the wall

FORMER colleague of mine was an excellent English teacher and not very religious. She taught Literature 12, a companion course to English 12, which is generally taken by university-bound honourroll students. It is a challenging course delving into the classics of English literature. Teachers have some leeway in the choice of authors and may include works by John Donne, William Shakespeare, the anonymous author of Beowulf, Samuel Coleridge, Jonathan Swift, Mary Shelley, John Milton, Thomas Hardy, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens, T.S. Eliot, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Jane Austen, Christopher Marlow, Lord Byron, John Keats and Geoffrey Chaucer.

CHRIS KEMPLING You Gotta Have FAITH It is timeless literature that has shaped our culture in immeasurable ways. But, she ran into a problem. Her students were not “getting” the biblical allusions the writers of these works took for granted their readers would know. The majority of her very bright and capable students were religious ignoramuses who never attended church, never went to Sunday School and had never once cracked open a Bible. Moreover, some of

the students were the children of immigrants from non-Christian cultures who had no background at all in things biblical. She was worried they would not fare well in their university English courses with such a dearth of knowledge of what is arguably the most influential book of all time — the King James Bible. In order to comment knowledgeably in essays about the major works of English literature, they would need a basic tutorial on biblical stories and allusions. So, she wrote to the school board, asking permission to read from the Bible so her students would better be able to appreciate and understand what these giants of English literature were saying. The school board agreed. Let’s take a look at

the back story behind a couple of everyday expressions. • “He has the patience of Job.” Job (pronounced jobe) is one of the most fascinating books in the entire Bible. The book of Job is part of the “wisdom literature” of the Middle East and its main character is one of the few non-Jewish great men of the Bible. So, why was Job renowned for his “patience” (defined as bearing severe trials without complaint)? Job was a wealthy man with great flocks and many children. He was also very righteous and generous, a paragon of virtue. The devil bets God he can get Job to curse him and God gives the devil free reign to torment him with disaster. Raiders steal all his flocks and kill his

herdsmen, all his children are killed when a tornado collapses the house where they were gathered for a party, and Job himself is afflicted with painful sores. Back in the day, when calamity like this happened, it was customary to assume the afflicted individual was harboring some secret sin deserving God’s punishment. Job’s three “friends” gather to “console” him over his loss by accusing him of just that. Job protests his innocence and refuses to curse God. In the end, all his fortunes are restored and he fathers a new family (“nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job’s daughters”). So, his legendary “patience” comes from his long-suffering righteousness in the face of great injustice.

• “The writing’s on the wall.” We often see this expression in the media and, generally, it refers to someone or something’s impending doom. For example, if the Conservatives lose the next election, some editor will write, “With the fallout of the Senate scandal, the writing was on the wall.” The concept comes from a story in the book of Daniel. The Babylonian king Belshazzar is hosting a feast and decides to profanely use holy goblets looted from Solomon’s temple for his drinking party. “Suddenly, the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall — mene, mene, tekel, upharsim.” The terrified king summons Daniel to interpret the coded mes-

sage and he foretells the imminent collapse of the Babylonian kingdom. That night, King Belshazzar is assassinated and the Persian/ Mede army of Darius captures the city (an event confirmed by multiple ancient historians). Of course, it’s not just English literature that has been massively influenced by biblical themes. One thinks of Dante’s Inferno, Goethe’s Faust, Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment or Hugo’s Les Miserables. In other words, it is difficult to be a truly educated person, wellrounded in the major literature of the world, and able to appreciate the themes and thinking of the writers of the world’s great poetry and fiction without a good knowledge of the Bible.
