Marchand: Senate freedom ‘major move’ By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A surprise move this week by Justin Trudeau to kick Liberal senators out of the federal caucus, making them independent, is being lauded by a longtime member of the red chamber and a TRU political scientist. “It’s a major move,” said Len Marchand, a former city MP, cabinet minister and B.C. senator. “It caught us old Liberal members by surprise.” Liberal Leader Trudeau held a news conference on Parliament Hill, saying extreme patronage and partisanship are at the root of the Senate expenses scandal, which has engulfed the upper chamber for more than a year. “The Senate is broken and needs to be fixed,’’ he said. Making Liberal senators independent of the party’s parliamentary caucus is a first, concrete step toward reducing partisanship, Trudeau argued as he challenged Prime Minister Stephen Harper to similarly set free the 57 Conservative senators. But, Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo (Conservative) MP Cathy McLeod said the timing of the announcement — before an auditorgeneral’s report on Senate expenses is due to be released — is suspicious. Since being elected, Harper has

appointed dozens of senators — despite a pledge eight years ago to not appoint them. He is now engulfed in an expenses scandal involving Conservative senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau. Liberal members have also been implicated. McLeod said the party continues to promote an elected Senate, pointing to the government’s referral to the Supreme Court of Canada of a way to elect senators in accordance MP CATHY MCLEOD: with the Suspicious of Justin ConstTrudeau’s Senate move. itution. She prefers the idea of an elected Senate to making senators free of party affiliation. “I have a big concern,” she said of Trudeau’s move. “We would use an unelected body to appoint unelected members who could amend legislation from a duly elected House of Commons.” X See TRUDEAU A6

THIS WEEK

IT’S OFFICIAL: TWO-WEEK SPRING BREAK

Kamloops This Week publisher Kelly Hall says the newspaper is committed to showing its support for CFJC-TV Boogie the Bridge as the print sponsor — and also on event day with a KTW team. Joining Hall during this week’s Boogie the Bridge sponsorship announcement were CFJC-TV president Rod Schween (right), Boogie organizer Jo Berry and CFJC-TV account manager Tara Holmes. The 17th annual event takes place on April 27 and registration is now open online at boogiethebridge. com. Dave Eagles/KTW

CFJC, KTW ready to Boogie the Bridge By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

Boogie the Bridge has run into new sponsorship, ensuring the signature Kamloops event will thrive in the years to come. CFJC-TV is the new title sponsor of Boogie the Bridge, with Kamloops This Week becoming the event’s print-media sponsor. Kamloops This Week publisher Kelly Hall — a self-described “Boogie virgin” — said the thriceweekly newspaper is proud to step up to fill the role of print-media sponsor. “That’s what we’re about at Kamloops This Week — community,” he said. “We’re very blessed and grateful that CFJC will become the title sponsor for Boogie the Bridge,” Boogie organizer Jo Berry said.

“Really, it’s about Kamloops and making a difference in the people here.” The 17th annual event is scheduled for April 27. Boogie has grown from 68 runners in its first year to more than 2,500 in 2013 and Berry said the fundraiser should reach the $1-million mark with this year’s event. Participants have the choice of a five-kilometre walk or run, a 10-kilometre walk or run or a 21-kilometre half-marathon, with a one-kilometre mini-Boogie being an option for kids. Boogie is focused on community health and wellness, Berry said, noting the event in not about running, but helping the community through movement. Two groups will benefit this year from the proceeds of the event — The Family Tree Family Centre and the CMHA Youth Clubhouse. “This just means taking this event to that next

level,” Berry said. “The message is movement makes a huge change. “They say sitting is the next smoking, so let’s get off the couch together and move our bodies for health and happiness and community health — leaving a legacy behind that we have made a difference.” CFJC-TV takes over title sponsorship from the Kamloops Daily News, which closed earlier this month after more than 80 years of publication. “I am so going to miss everyone at the Daily News,” Berry said. “I think it’s so important to recognize the work and passion that they all did to provide us with that broader message. They have been a huge part of Boogie, helping us in so many ways. Boogie is open to participants of all ages and levels of experience.

In a 5-3 vote, Kamloops-Thompson school trustees have approved a two-week March break for students. Voting in favour of the two-week break were Denise Harper, Gerald Watson, Joan Cowden, John Harwood and Rhonda Kershaw. Opposing the twoweek break were trustees Annette Glover, Kathleen Karpuk and Cara McKelvey. Trustee Megan Wade was absent. Harper, chairwoman of the board of education, said it was a difficult decision for trustees because they know the extra week can create child-care problems for parents. “But, the majority of the board was satisfied with the commitment to have camps, academies and programs” during the break for students to attend,” she said. Harper said those options might be beneficial for students who may be struggling a subject and can attend a program that is focused on the subject. The longer break begins in the 2014-2015 school year and can continue through the 2016-2017 school year. It will be reviewed at the end of the first year and, if it continues, will be reviewed again after the second year.

ALC says no to Bilton again By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

After failing twice to remove land from the Agricultural Land Reserve, developer Bill Bilton is trying once again to boost housing density at Dunes Golf Club. The commission turned down an appeal from Bilton’s North Core Development Ltd. to exclude 5.8 hectares from the reserve. The property is used as a driving range, storage area and sand pit. Bilton has proposed adding about 300 units of housing to the Westsyde property. The commission turned down North Core’s first proposal in May of last year. Six months later, Bilton’s revised application and appeal also failed to receive approval from the commission. The Dunes at Kamloops Golf Club

Developer Bill Bilton has been turned down again by the Agricultural Land Reserve in his bid to build more houses on The Dunes at Kamloops golf-course land. KTW file photo

is a holdover from the 1980s, when the Social Credit government permitted golf courses as an allowable use within the Agricultural Land Reserve. A spokeswoman for Bilton said he is working on an alternative application to the commission, but did not provide details. The commission has yet to receive any new application or appeal. City council already approved the land

development in principle. Community development manager Randy Lambright said the original city approval remains at third reading until it receives an OK from the commission. “He’s permitted to tinker with that. If he’s successful, he comes back to us. If it’s a significant change, we’d have to put it through another process.” Lambright said the city considers the proj-

ect an in-fill development. Nancy Bepple was the only councillor to vote against the project, saying it would represent a permanent loss of viable agricultural land in Kamloops. Bilton’s latest proposal is the fifth time he has approached the commission for developments on the property. He was successful in 2007, carving off a five-hectare strip along Harrington and Westsyde roads. The commission ruled that would not significantly affect potential agricultural production of the land. In 2008, it allowed another nine holes to be developed. It also allowed exclusion in 1991 for the original housing development on a smaller parcel after first denying a similar application.

LOCAL NEWS CITY HALL

Kamloops will seek intervenor status for the National Energy Board’s consideration of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion but, at this stage, it’s anyone’s guess what the city would say at a hearing. “Most people think it’s a negative thing, but that’s not always the case,” public works director Jen Fretz told council this week. “Should we review the information and find there are not issues and bring forward that information to council, council’s direction could be to speak in favour of the project.” Fretz said the plan is to have staff review project data and bring a report back to council that could include concerns and recommendations if more specialized expertise is needed to study city issues related to the pipeline. The Trans Mountain pipeline carries oil products from the Alberta oilfields to Burnaby. Kinder Morgan wants to expand its capacity from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels per day.

Parking kiosks ﬁlling city-hall coffers

They were put in with less than two months left in the year, but the city’s new parking kiosks are already pumping up the city’s parking-revenue haul. Corporate services and community safety director David Duckworth said the increased fee for parking, introduced with the new machines, helped increase revenues from downtown parking by three per cent in 2013. The city made an extra $41,000 from parking fees, fines and other parking-related activities. That number is expected to rise dramatically in 2014. Though revenue was up, the city handed out fewer parking tickets in 2013 compared to other years.

Homophobic policy on agenda

A request for a specific harassment policy addressing the lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, transgendered/ transsexual (LGBQT) experience in Kamloops district schools will be back on the school-board agenda next week. Board of education chairwoman Denise Harper said the issue was dealt with during a closed portion of their Monday, Jan. 27 meeting and will be discussed again on Monday, Feb. 3. She is hoping the result will be creation of a committee that will look deeper into the issue. The request, which came from a social-justice class at South Kamloops

City seeks to speak on Kinder’s bid

secondary, was referred to the board’s policy committee, which reported back it felt the existing harassment policy was sufficient. However, trustee Kathleen Karpuk told KTW she had done extensive research into the issue since the policy committee report and feels something more is needed. Karpuk said it concerned her to read reports that say up to 70 per cent of students hear homophobic slurs daily at school and as many as 30 per cent of the LGBQT community tries to kill themselves every year. She said something specific is needed.

Trudeau ﬂoats appointment panel

X From A1

Trudeau has suggested an independent panel appoint senators, similar to the way people are appointed to the Order of Canada. Thompson Rivers University political scientist Derek Cook said the Senate scandal “is not going away. “It’s a good idea to distance himself from the Senate. It puts the prime minister in an embarrassing position.” While senators have always been partisan, Cook said what’s changed under the Harper government is amount of control over senators from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). “The PMO has been directing them. That’s come out in the scandal.” McLeod also questioned how independent the newly freed senators are from the Liberal party. They remain party members. “They can’t go to one meeting,” she said of a ban by Trudeau on Liberal senators attending a weekly caucus meeting. “They’re still identifying themselves as Liberals.” — with files from Canadian Press

Accused shooter granted bail in court tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man slated to stand trial in B.C. Supreme Court on a raft of serious charges — including extortion with a firearm and use of a firearm for a criminal organization — has been granted bail.

Adam James Colligan was released on $15,000 bail in Kamloops provincial court on Wednesday, Jan. 29. The 27-year-old was ordered last week to stand trial following a preliminary inquiry in front of Kamloops provincial court Judge Len Marchand.

The evidence heard at the preliminary inquiry is subject to a court-ordered publication ban. However, KTW can report Colligan is alleged to have shot 48-year-old Glenn Powell inside Powell’s home on May 11, 2013. Following the incident, Powell told KTW

he was shot in the knee during a struggle after a man he knew as A.J. pulled a handgun on him. Powell said the culprit worked for the Independent Soldiers. A Kamloops RCMP press release following the shooting said only that the attack was “targeted.”

Did you see wee-hours weekend attack downtown? Kamloops Mounties are hoping tips from the public will help them figure out what happened to a woman who may have been attacked on a downtown street on the weekend. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush

said the 41-year-old woman told police she left a Victoria Street bar at about 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 25, to walk home, but was chased and knocked down somewhere between Third and First avenues by an unknown assailant.

The woman was given a ride home by a Good Samaritan. Bush said the woman’s recollection of the night’s events are “very limited” and asked that anyone who saw anything suspicious to call police at 250-828-3000.

The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the pest management plan applies. The purpose of the proposed Pest Management Plan (PMP) is to treat wood structures with pesticides (“wood preservatives”) to protect and increase their service life and ensure the reliability and safety of the electrical system. The wood structures include, poles and associated equipment and any wood structures eg. helipads, fences, sign posts, walkways and bridges. The PMP applies to those portions of the province-wide distribution, transmission and generation system that utilizes wood poles and structures and is owned or managed by BC Hydro. The BC Hydro service area encompasses all of British Columbia. The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2019. The trade names and active ingredients of the wood preservatives proposed for use under this plan include: copper naphthenate combined with sodium ﬂuoride, Cop R Plastic or equivalent; copper naphthenate combined with borax, CuRap 20 or equivalent; copper napthenate, Cobra Wrap, CuNap-8 or equivalent; copper hydroxide, CuBor or equivalent; sodium ﬂuoride, Pole Wrap or equivalent; metam sodium, Guardsman Post and Pole Fumigant 42% or equivalent; disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, Tim-Bor Professional, Impel rods, GenBor RTU, Boracol or equivalent; copper hydroxide, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate and boric acid in combination, CobraRods, Genics CuB or equivalent; copper hydroxide, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, zinc and boric acid, no product name; permethrin, Dragnet or equivalent; propetamphos, Catalyst or equivalent; chorpyrifos, Dursban or equivalent. The proposed manners of applying the wood preservatives include: external bandage treatments, internal liquid, powder, foam and gel treatments, external liquid treatments (brush on), internal solid treatments (rods). Other management methods include stubbing and replacing wood poles and when installing new poles using pre treated poles and using plastic liners. A draft copy of the proposed PMP may be examined in detail at: http://www.bchydro.com/safety-outages/ trees-power-lines/managing-weeds-insects/wood-pole-treatment.html or in person at 1401 Kalamalka Lk Rd, Vernon BC; 18475 128th St, Surrey BC; 3333 22nd Ave, Prince George BC; or 1155 McGill Rd, Kamloops BC. A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the address above within 30 days of the publication of this notice.

It is political when security in Sochi dwarfs that in a war

HOMAS BACH, HEAD of that self-entitled bunch of elitists who operate the International Olympics Committee (IOC), said competitors will not be gagged at the upcoming Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. I hope he’s right but, having lived through the tragedy that was the 1972 Munich Olympics — and knowing that when a bully mouths off that he’s gonna whup you, he pretty much has to or lose face — Bach’s use of the word gagged conjures up too many pictures. Not one of them is good. Now, to be fair, Bach was talking about his belief not one athlete will be stopped from making political points during any press conference they may hold. But, they can’t use the podium for the same purpose. Apparently, that edict is sufficient to make it clear to the rest of us that the Olympics is all about the athlete and the sport, not politics. Any event that requires what has been estimated as 27 security personnel for each athlete in attendance in a reaction to terrorist threats has let politics trump athleticism. When families of athletes are afraid to go to the Russian city because they, too, fear the Black Widows will succeed in blowing things up, it’s about politics. Bach, perhaps schooled in the art of speaking nonsense by his predecessor, Jacques Rogge, has also said that, once the Games begin, it will be only about sport. “Therefore, I am really confident that we will have, in this respect, a

DALE BASS Street LEVEL very good atmosphere,” he said. It’s an armed camp that has been created in a country where there were three deadly bombings at the end of 2013. The best estimate is there will be 100,000 security personnel in Sochi, not to mention all the surveillance that has also been put into place. To put that into some context, U.S. Department of Defence statistics shows America sent 60,000 soldiers into Afghanistan. Sochi has a population of 343,000. I know I’m in the minority — even in my own house. When I raised the issue at dinnertime, one son told me he loves to watch the Olympics because he enjoys watching all the athletes. He labelled me a negative person if I don’t support the Games. (That’s OK in our house. Our discussions at home with any of the five kids have always been frank and accepting of other opinions. Hence having a couple of kids who support political parties I could never vote for, for example).

My hubby, having listened to the discussion and aware I was contemplating a column, decided to weigh in. He, too, is a supporter of the Olympics, but has a much more jaded viewpoint than our eternally optimistic youngest son. Simply put, he said if we want to live in a democracy and not a totalitarian security state, we need to accept the fact some of our citizens will be blown up by terrorists. Either that or we surrender all our freedoms in the name of security. I countered there has to be a better system the IOC can put their minds to that would not make it such an enticing target for threats and violence. Of course, that belief needs to take into account that, in some countries, people riding a subway or working in an office building are enough of a target when the bad guys want to make a point. The boss weighed in as well when I told him this week’s column topic. He leaned back in his chair and asked me what I would say to Kamloops athletes Elli Terwiel and Jessica Hewitt, who are heading to Sochi, or Diane Barker, who is also heading from the Tournament Capital to the Russian city to officiate in curling. Good question. I guess the answer would be that I wish them well, I hope they win and, if they don’t, I hope they still have a great time — and I hope they come back home safe and happy. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com twitter.com/mdalebass

Ottawa reaches new low with vets Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau grabbed the national political headlines this week with his decision to oust Liberal senators from caucus, thereby making them independent — at least on paper. However, another story has been brewing and it has to do with the treatment of war veterans by the federal government. Soldiers who have served in Afghanistan have gone public on numerous occasions with complaints they are being tossed aside by Ottawa as they struggle to get reacquainted with civilian life. There have been stories on miserly pension amounts, on substandard care for physical and mental injury and other issues. Of course, each time a veteran goes public, a Conservative MP is ready with a bunch of numbers they claim show Veterans Affairs is being funded better now than before. However, nothing has been as crass and cold as that which landed in the mailbox of a soldier’s family this month. Cpl. Leona MacEachern died on Christmas Day when she committed suicide by crashing her car near Calgary. MacEachern had been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder from her experiences in the war. She and her family had been critical of services available to treat her PTSD. On Jan. 9, just days after her funeral, her family received a letter from Veterans Affairs, asking for repayment of $581 — apparently equal to an overpayment on MacEachern’s disability cheque for December, due to her death. While Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino has forgiven the debt, the fact it made its way from an Ottawa bureaucrat’s hands and into the family home of a soldier who was a victim of war is beyond stunning. Had the MacEachern family not gone public, would Fantino had reversed the payment demand? How many more families of war veterans are being treated with such callousness by the federal government? It is beyond shameful.

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Story: The (unofﬁcial) election campaign has begun:

“I hope better minds will put their name on the electoral list. “Another three years of ‘tot lots’ arguments? “Another three years of ‘more of the same’ at city hall? “Another three years of near hibernation? “I wish not!” — posted by Lyman Duff “It would really be nice to have some vision from council sometimes, to plan out what Kamloops should be and strive toward, making it a better place. “Or have a term limit on council — say you get three terms and that’s it. “Sometimes it’s nice to have fresh ideas.” — posted by Tyler

Re: Letter: Dear council: Butt out of our business:

“Smokers have to be the most ignorant people on the planet. “Smokers’ rights? Give me a break. What about my right to enter a building or store without inhaling secondhand smoke or going anywhere in this city without seeing cigarette butts everywhere? “The best thing about smokers is knowing one day their habit will finish them off.” — posted by Pothead

our family cope — so many, in fact, that I can’t keep up with the thank yous. Please help me to thank those who have offered support and well wishes, who have prepared meals, helped us with travel, given rides to our boys, visited us in hospitals in Kamloops and Vancouver, phoned to make sure we’re OK, sent cheer cards and special treats to Lizzie, raised funds and given us hugs and kisses: • Staff of Kamloops This Week, spearheaded by the amazing Linda Bolton. • My mom, whose passing has left a huge hole in my heart. • My dad, who is

doing his best to fill it. • My sister, Amber Piva, and her family, • Our family and friends in B.C., Saskatchewan, Alberta, New Brusnwick, Arizona and Ontario. • Hills of Peace Lutheran Church. • St. Ann’s Academy staff, parents and students. • Marion Schilling elementary staff, parents and students, • Darren and Denise Pidduck and their families — the list of their loving deeds is endless. • HPF Engineering Ltd. — Rogers Family and staff.

Council’s no-smoking expansion idea a dangerous notion Editor: Re: (‘Council mulls expansion of nosmoking zones,” Jan. 23): If Kamloops city council is going to ban smoking outside, let’s ban eating all junk food/fast food and sugary drinks as well. All people with beverages should be frisked to ensure no alcohol is being consumed. While we’re at it, let’s close down the bars and casinos and ban electronic devices as they may be playing inappropriate

material in public. Does this fit into the Puritan society council has in mind for Kamloops? What’s next — overweight people? Ugly people? People with glasses? Is this a good step that will make us look even better than we do today? I don’t like where this is all headed. My 90-year-old father was a war hero in the Second World War and I know this is not what he had in mind for our free society. He enjoys a smoke in the park, never

around people and never bothering anyone. I think council needs to be reined in on this one. A person smoking outdoors in a park or on a trail poses zero health risk to anyone passing by. Have we become this intolerant in this city? And, if we have, look out because you may be next on the list. Bruce Baker Kamloops

Actually, an expanded smoking ban outside would be welcome Editor: No-smoking zones are a great idea. In public, people should be respectful toward each other and as much as non-smokers should respect the choices of smokers, the reverse should also happen. Second-hand smoke is extremely dangerous and there are

people who are tired of worrying about it when they go out for a walk, to the park, to the library or to the Tournament Capital Centre. I would love to see these expanded bans happen. Susan Lam Kamloops

LOCAL NEWS

Social-media expert: Talk to your children By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

If there was one overriding message socialmedia expert Jesse Miller delivered to parents in Kamloops on Monday, Jan. 27, it is simply to be parents. “I didn’t want my dad to be my friend,” Miller told about 400 parents at the meeting at South Kamloops secondary. “I wanted my dad to be my dad. And, now, he’s my best friend.” Miller, who operates Mediated Realities, was brought to town by the Kamloops-Thompson school board after it was discovered many high school students have been involved in using social media for inappropriate purposes. The discovery is now the source of a police investigation that involves male teens sharing by cellphone revealing photos of their female peers. “When we have a large turnout,” Miller told the crowd that filled half the gymnasium at the school, “it usually means there’s a story attached.” From there, he led

parents — and a few teens in the audience — through the realities of social media. Take Instagram, for example, an application popular with teens. Its website advertises it as “a fast, beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family.” Many parents in the audience raised their hands when Miller asked how many have an Instagram account with followers they don’t know — and then described a scenario to make his point. “So, you’re standing at a bus stop and a strange man comes up and says, ‘I like your photos.’ Now, this is creepy, so you try to get away and he runs after you because he’s your follower,” Miller said. He reminded parents there was a reason they often didn’t take nude photos of each other when cameras required film: “The guy at London Drugs” who would develop the film. Next came the Polaroid camera, which, Miller said, “cut out the middle man,” but would lead to a box of photos

that you didn’t want your kids to find. With today’s technology, which changes every 18 months, he said, children are becoming communicators with the best equipment who don’t understand the consequences of the messages they broadcast. “Try picking up you child’s phone. They start yelling at you to put it down. Ask them, ‘What’s on there I can’t see?’ Start a conversation,” Miller said. “Put yourself in your children’s shoes. Ask yourself, ‘If I was 16, what would I do with this technology?’” Miller asked parents with smartphones — and the majority in the audience had one — to text answers to some basic questions, including how

many break the rules and check their phones when they shouldn’t, such as when driving. Ninety per cent said they did and Miller used that to point out to parents they are not modelling good behaviour to their children when they do that. “Put your phone in the trunk,” he said. Miller used some high-profile incidents to continue his theme that parents need to be involved and talking with their kids. He posted a Twitter feed for @ryan_ lanza from Dec. 14, 2012. It carried a tweet that said, “phone hasn’t stopped buzzing since fifth period” and a later one asking, “why am I trending?” Miller showed another

message with the names Ryan and Lanza in it from the same day, asking a similar question. Both shared the name of the brother of Sandy Hook elementary shooter Adam Lanza. Neither was related. However, in the second Ryan Lanza’s feed was another tweet from three days earlier talking about “bad bitches” at school. Go back two weeks and the student had tweeted he was fine if the world ended in two weeks. Miller asked the parents to think about how the media could have used that Twitter feed and would have been wrong, since the boy was likely referring to the Mayan calendar prediction the world would end on Dec. 12, 2012.

“But, here’s a question. Who talked to this young man about what he was saying?” Miller asked the audience. He moved on to Amanda Todd, the Vancouver-area teen who killed herself after experiencing online bullying.

“There were 500 views of her video [discussing her emotions from the bullying] before she killed herself,” Miller said. “And, at last count, there had been more than 24-million after she killed herself. “Talk to your kids.”

Because Strong Kids matter

Devon O’Toole knows childhood obesity is about more than just getting enough exercise — it’s about finding a sense of belonging. That’s where the YMCA-YWCA comes in. O’Toole, sales manager at Gord’s Maytag and More in North Kamloops, is teaming up with the Y to raise money in support of the YMCA-YWCA Strong Kids program. The fundraiser is an annual campaign that focuses on raising resources to support programs that help kids live healthier happier lives, in hopes of helping them reach their full potential down the road. “Kids are key for the future and we should be focusing more on camps and nourishment Devon O’Toole (left) gets some workout tips from fitness co-ordinator Tera Meade at the YMCA-YWCA in Northills Shopping Centre. O’Toole is among a group taking part in this year’s Y Strong Kids endeavour, helping raise funds for important programs that impact children in the community. Dave Eagles/KTW

and all that for our future,” O’Toole said. “That’s what I focused on kids programs this year.” O’Toole is part of a team called TRU Unbreakables, which includes Christopher Seguin, Colleen McClean, Diana Skoglund and Melissa Baker-Seguin. It is headed up by team captain Tera Meade of the YMCA-YWCA. The group is hoping to raise $4,800 between them, with O’Toole setting his personal goal at $1,000. “I am aware of the increasing numbers of children and their families who do not have the resources to lead a healthy, active life,” O’Toole said. “I believe every kid deserves a chance.” As of Tuesday, Jan.28, O’Toole had raised $300 toward his overall goal.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING LIONS LOVE THE NORTH SHORE The Valleyview Overlanders Lions Club present certificates of appreciation to retailers in the city. Left to right: Lion Denis Bartlett; Rob Phillips, owner of Robo Car Wash; Michael Werkman from Rona Home Centre; Alex McKinnen, manager of Canadian Tire in North Kamloops; Jim Thomsen, service manager of Canadian Tire in North Kamloops and Lion Marty Butler. Missing in the picture are representatives from Canadian Tire in Aberdeen; Cooper’s Foods in Brocklehurst and Interior Savings in Northills Shopping Centre. The businesses allow the Lions to sell boat-and-motor raffle tickets at their stores and, in many cases, the businesses also sell tickets.

Hello and goodbye The North Shore is starting the year with the closure of an anchor tenant and a move across the river by another long-term retailer. But, it has also welcomes news businesses to the area. Liquidation World, at the site of a former roller rink on Eighth Street, is expected to close at the end of February, part of a nationwide shutdown by operator Big Lots. On the heels of Liquidation World’s closure comes a decision by a longtime Tranquille Road retailer to move to Valleyview. “We’re relocating and closing [this location)]” said Ann-Marie Fuoco, who has operated Light Your World for almost 18 years. Fuoco is transitioning out of her small business, which will be taken over by employee Tara Chicoine. Light Your World will move to a Valleyview strip mall where tenants include Starbucks. Liquidation World Kamloops, which is located next to Bowlertime and the Dirty Jersey pub, is one of 73 stores closing across Canada. Calling the North Shore business area “a gem of a place,” Fuoco said the move for her store is difficult but necessary to capture housing and population growth in the southeast sector of the city. Steven Puhallo, executive director of the North Shore Business Improvement Association, said the closure and relocation are part of the natural change in any commercial area.

“Light Your World has been around for quite a while,” he said. “They’re good people and it’s a good business. “In any commercial district, you have closures and movement, people in and out.” The association depends on property owners and leasing firms to attract new tenants, but will become involved if requested, Puhallo said. However, the movement isn’t all one-way. Bonnie Matthews moved her Mulberry Bush consignment store to the 500-block of Tranquille Road. Her partner also moved his auto detailing shop to North Kamloops. Both moved from downtown. Matthews said moving a store that had been in the same location — on Battle Street downtown — for 10 years is a challenge. But, she added, lower lease costs and access to the North Shore population were important factors in the move. Another businesswoman recently purchased Mommy & Me in North Kamloops. “I’ve lived on the North Shore forever — it’s home,” said new operator Darlene Kelly. “I thought this was a cool little store, as many people do.” Kelly said she remains committed to the North Shore retail area. She also credited Puhallo with injecting new energy and marketing effort into the business area, known as the Tranquille Market.

Money Matters: Your retirement plan Is guaranteed income part of your retirement plan? Nearly 14-million Canadians will be retiring over the next 20 years. If you are one of them, having a financial plan that includes guaranteed income can help you live your dreams in retirement. No matter how much you’ve saved, and despite the excitement that comes from knowing your working days may be behind you, it’s important to ensure you are financially prepared for a long retirement However, a recent study revealed almost 40 per cent of retirees are concerned they do not have enough money to do what they want in their retirement and a further 51 per cent of households are at risk of being unable to maintain their standard of living in retirement. Your retirementincome strategy should ensure you do not outlive your retirement income and you are able to adapt to unexpected expenses along the way — without the constant worry of running out of money. As you approach your retirement, it’s important to understand risks that may affect you, so you can take appropriate steps to help protect your retirement savings. With the decline in defined-benefit pension plans, the responsibility for managing these risks continues to shift to Canadians and their advisors. Today, the risks of outliving your savings, dealing with market volatility and coping with inflation are often yours to manage — and each of these risks can affect your success at achieving your retirement dreams. • Longevity: A healthy couple now 65 years old has a 94 per cent chance of one partner living to 80 and a 63 per cent chance of one partner living to 90. It’s great news that Canadians are living longer than ever before.

However, the challenge we now face is that we may need to fund our retirement plans for much longer. This means Canadians have a greater need to ensure that their retirement income can last many more years than they may have anticipated. Will you have enough money to see you through? Are you spending too much too soon? Maybe you shouldn’t take that vacation? Maybe you should wait one more year — just in case you need the money down the road? These are the types of concerns that can stand in the way of enjoying your retirement to the fullest. • Market volatility: Who can forget the global financial crisis in 2008 and 2009 and the recent market turmoil? Markets are unpredictable and, at times, extremely volatile. Unpredictable market conditions are a significant concern to people at or nearing retirement. Adverse markets can have a very negative impact on your retirement lifestyle and, because of this, market volatility is a risk that needs to be prudently managed. A decline in the stock market or a fall in interest rates can dramatically affect the amount of income available to you in retirement, as well as your ability to make savings last as long as you need them to. Poor market returns early in your retirement can mean fewer years of retirement income, while good market returns early on can give you more years of income. The trouble is, it’s impossible to know whether the markets will be up or down at the time you retire. A downturn in the markets early in your retirement could reduce your savings to a level that will not provide you with sufficient retirement income — and there may not be enough time for you to recover your losses. Your retirement

income plan should include a solution that can help protect you from the risk of market volatility, ensuring that you have a predictable and stable source of income. • Inflation: Inflation can also have a major impact on your retirement savings — and nearly two-thirds of Canadians are con-

cerned their retirement income may not keep up with inflation. Ignoring the effects of inflation can dramatically affect your ability to fund your retirement plans, since inflation can erode the value of your savings. For example, if the inflation rate is approximately three per cent, what you can buy for

$1,000 today will only buy you about $400 worth of goods in 30 years. To look at it another way, a $100 bag of groceries today will cost you about $180 in 20 years and just over $240 in 30 years. It’s important to help ensure your savings can grow and stay ahead of inflation.

FROM THE ASHES RISES CONTROVERSY By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

When the former rooming house at 331 West Seymour St. caught fire, neighbours rejoiced. “To be honest, when I saw the flames curling into the sky, I was delighted,” Ralph Adams told Kamloops city council during a public hearing on Tuesday, Jan. 28. He wasn’t the only one on the downtown block celebrating. “It was known in the criminal world in Kamloops as a safe house,” neighbour Lorne Samaha said, recalling days when undercover cops would hide in the bushes outside his home to spy on the property. Another homeowner on the block, Peter Strauss, said in the years he had lived on West Seymour, he was forced to leave work multiple times and head home when neighbours called to tell him someone was casing his house. Still, his home was broken into five times. However, while the fire got a stamp of approval from those living on the block, landowner Michael Fane’s plans to build two new single-family homes with basement suites in the space once occupied by the notorious abode did not. By a margin of 6-2, city council approved a plan to consolidate and re-divide two lots previously occupied by the rooming house and another much smaller lot Fane purchased from the city, as well as a rezoning to allow for secondary suites. Councillors did so in the face of strong resistance from neighbours. Many of the opposed

homeowners worried Fane would decide to rent out the three-bedroom homes and twobedroom suites, leading to more problems for the neighbourhood. “We could quite easily see 20 people on that property, which would exceed the number of people that were there before,” Adams said, adding he wouldn’t be as nervous if there were some guarantee Fane would sell the properties. Samaha said he wasn’t convinced the lots had enough parking spaces and predicted vehicles from the properties would further clog what is an unusually narrow street. He said West Seymour Street already has issues with flooding and congestion that should be dealt with before the city agrees to new development. The 300-block of the road doesn’t have drains or sidewalks. “It’s like the city forgot about these few streets,” Samaha said. Fane told council he has no plans to rent the houses and is in the process of getting out of the landlord game. He said his goal with the two properties is to build affordable homes for young families. “The legal suites would make those properties affordable to people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford them,” he said. Coun. Tina Lange said more traffic on West Seymour is the last thing residents need. “At every public hearing, when we look at putting in suites, the neighbourhood shows up and they all say the same thing: ‘Traffic, parking, traffic, parking, safety.’ “And, normally, I just kind of ignore that because yeah, it’s Kamloops and we’re densifying,” she said. But, Lange added, West Seymour is an exception to her rule. “It’s so narrow. It’s a goat path.” However, Coun. Nelly Dever believes the homes

fit with the city’s goals. “We’ve talked about affordable housing in Kamloops and infill,” she said. “Now we have something on the table that does both of those and would help a homeowner get that approval.” Council approved

the rezoning with Lange and Coun. Marg Spina opposed. Coun. Nancy Bepple was absent. Voting in favour were councillors Dever, Ken Christian, Donovan Cavers, Pat Wallace, Arjun Singh and Mayor Peter Milobar.

Plight of horses compelled public to act By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The level of outpouring was something Kent Kokoska hadn’t seen in more than a decade — since massive wildfires burned up large swaths of the North Thompson Valley and threatened the lives of hundreds of animals. The BCSPCA constable — one of two tasked with investigating cases of animal cruelty in the Kamloops region — said the response from the community in recent months, following the seizure of 20 horses and the humane destruction of seven more, was nothing short of remarkable. “It’s really not common, what’s occurred here in the last six to eight weeks,” Kokoska told KTW. “The last time I saw something like this was

CRAWFORD FAIRFOUL (CURLY) December 6, 1922 ~ January 21, 2014 O n Tu e s d a y J a n u a r y 21, 2014, Crawford passed away at Penticton Regional Hospital. Predeceased by son Leslie, brother Jim, sister Winnie and beloved wife Mary, he is survived by sons Rob (Janice) and Mark (Karen), brother John, sister-in-law Dorothy, grandchildren Tyson, Taylor, Riley, Nicole and Andrea, extended family and friends. Dad was born and raised on Nanaimo Street in New Westminster B.C. and had many happy memories and stories of his time with family and friends. In 1949 he and Mom married, and resided in New Westminster, raising 3 boys there until moving to Kamloops in 1968. In 2006 Dad lost his Mary after 57 years together. In the year prior to Mom’s passing, Dad was a devoted and loving caregiver. He managed to live in his Kamloops home until age 89, moving to Summerland to be with family. At an early age, Dad became interested in aircraft, and he and his childhood friend would ride their bikes to Boundary Bay airport, where he later started his aviation career with the elementary ﬂying school. Some of Dad’s favorite stories came from his time working at Queen Charlotte Airlines, maintaining the Stranraers up and down the coast as well as on trips as far away as Montreal. In years following, Dad was in charge of maintenance for BNP Airways, and after moving to Kamloops in 1968 started B.C. Central Aeromotive L.T.D. with his good friend Frank Kratzer. Dad became a ﬁxture at the Kamloops airport, and continued working occasionally even into his 80’s, holding his AME licence for a total of 67 years. Throughout his time in aviation, Dad made more friends than could be listed, and he was still receiving calls and visits from people he had worked with as far back as the 1940’s. He was respected by all who knew him for his no nonsense approach, incredible knowledge, and his beautiful workmanship. Dad was a supportive husband, father, grandfather and friend and will be greatly missed by all. A family service will be held in New Westminster in the spring of 2014. Donations in Crawford’s memory can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, BC.

horses while three others were humanely destroyed. And, on Dec. 11, a search warrant turned up a dead horse and another that had to be destroyed on-site due to distress. Six of the seized horses have found new homes, while another seven are available for

adoption through the Kamloops branch of the BCSPCA. It was an unusually busy fall for Kokoska and his investigative partner, BCSPCA Const. Jamie Wiltse. Thankfully, Kokoska said, the community rallied to support the horses by donating money and help to the SPCA.

VIOLET SMEATON Violet Smeaton went to be with her Lord on January 23, 2014, surrounded by her family. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 56 years, Walter, and will be missed by her children, Dave (Carrie), Rick (Karen), Sue (John), Melody (Ken), Cory (Leanna), Cindy (Dan), Lana (Andre), Steve (Shelby) and 29 grandchildren. Violet was born on May 6, 1937 and spent her early years in Cloverdale, as one of 9 children. She moved with her family to Kamloops at 5 years of age, and went to Stuart Wood School and KSS. Violet met Walter at Calvary Temple and they were married on April 20, 1957, raising their family in Brock. Violet loved her family, her church and her garden. A Celebration of her Life will be held on Saturday, February 1, 2014 at 1:00 pm at Full Gospel Tabernacle – 1550 Tranquille Road, Kamloops. The family would like to thank all the wonderful care givers at Kamloops Seniors Village who lovingly cared for her. Should friends desire, donations may be made to Gideons International in Canada or the Alzheimer’s Society.

Wiltse said such help is necessary given the reality of the BCSPCA’s crueltyinvestigation department. “The more costs we can recover, the more animals we can assist,” she said. “And, people calling it in — we need people to be our eyes

and ears.” The recent outpouring of support — donations of about $20,000 in cash and further material gifts, including a specialized sling used to lift horses by helicopter — came about after news of the emaciated horses hit the news. Kokoska said that happened by chance, after a local veterinarian called reporters in an attempt to get the word out about proper equine care. “You’re seeing more that the things that make the media, people think there’s an entire department available at all times to investigate these things — but it’s just the two of us,” he said of himself and Wiltse. “Without the community support and stepping up like they did, it would have put the brakes on us.”

JEAN CARSON 1920-2014 Mrs. Jean Carson passed away peacefully in Kamloops, BC on January 25, 2014 at the age of 93 years. Jean is survived by her loving husband of 69 years Archie Carson, her only son Stanley (Michelle Jacques) Carson, her grandsons, Roland Carson and Kevin Carson and her grand-daughter Ashley Carson. She was predeceased by her parents, her eight sisters and three brothers from Ireland. Jean lived a long and healthy life, and Kamloops has been her home for the last 47 years. She enjoyed ﬂower gardening and shopping. She had a happy go lucky nature and enjoyed the simple things in life. A funeral service for Jean will be held on Thursday January 30th, 2014 at 1:00pm in the Schoening Chapel 513 Seymour Street with Reverend Isabel Healy-Morrow ofﬁciating.

Ford served with suit alleging link to beating

TORONTO — Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is being sued by his sister’s ex-boyfriend, who alleges the mayor conspired to have him attacked in jail to prevent his illicit behaviours from becoming known. Scott MacIntyre says in the statement of claim filed on Wednesday, Jan. 29, that he has known about Ford’s activities for some time. MacIntyre was in jail in March 2013, after being charged with threatening Ford, when he was brutally attacked. He alleges Ford conspired with Payman Aboodowleh, who coached high school football with Ford, to have one of their former players, who was also in jail at the time, to beat MacIntyre up. The attack came two months before the Toronto Star and U.S. website Gawker reported on the existence of a video appearing to show the mayor smoking crack cocaine.

“Ford’s drug and alcohol abuse, and his association with criminals to facilitate his drug abuse . . . are longstanding,’’ MacIntyre writes in his statement of claim. “Ford was anxious that these matters should remain undiscovered.’’ None of the allegations have been proven in court. “They’re without fact or foundation,’’ Ford’s lawyer Dennis Morris said of MacIntyre’s allegations. When questioned further if the mayor had conspired in any way to harm MacIntyre, Morris bluntly said “the answer is no.’’ Ford offered no comment when reporters asked him about the suit after it was filed. The suit also names Ontario’s Ministry of Correctional Services, which is responsible for the province’s jails, Aboodowleh and Aedan

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has been served with a civil notice of claim alleging he conspired to have his sister’s ex-boyfriend attacked in a March 2013 jailhouse beating. The suit alleges Ford had two jailed former high-school football players beat up Scott MacIntyre in the hopes of keeping his “association with criminals to facilitate his drug abuse” out of the public eye.

Canadian ofﬁcials encouraged by U.S. Keystone report

WASHINGTON D.C. — Canadian officials in both Washington and Ottawa say they’re encouraged by what they’re hearing about a forthcoming State Department report on the potential environmental impact of the Keystone XL pipeline. The officials say they’re being told the report could be ready for release within days and will bolster the case for the controversial energy project. One source in Washington warned, however, there won’t be any “high-fiving and toasting with champagne’’ at the Canadian embassy just yet, given how prone the Keystone XL project has been to

lengthy delays. “What we’re hearing is that it’s going to be positive for the project — and therefore positive for Canada,’’ said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he hadn’t seen the report. “The rumours certainly are that it’s very thorough and that the analysis will support the project.’’ The process of writing the report began in August, the official said. With the threat of almost-certain lawsuits looming, regardless of what the decision is, the authors were under pressure to be as rigorous as possible, he added.

The struggling company said Wednesday, Jan. 29, the cuts will help improve communication and encourage more consistency within its operations. Most of the reductions will be in middle management at Sears department stores, affecting an average

of five employees per location, Sears Canada said in a release. The company also said it will rework its regional and head office structure. Two weeks ago, Sears Canada said

about 1,600 positions would be affected as it moved ahead with plans to shutter its three Canadian call centres and reduce staff at its warehouses. — Canadian Press

Listen up, juice monkeys

ready to host provincials By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

OLIN GILBERT sounds like a wise man when he talks about swimming. The thing is, he’s only 15. Gilbert, a Kamloops Classic Swimming club product, will be one of about 600 athletes — 35 Classics — competing in the B.C. AAA Provincial Swimming Championships from Friday, Jan. 31, to Monday, Feb. 3, at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre. He is scheduled to race in seven events — the 100metre, 400-m and 1,500-m freestyle, 100-m and 200-m butterfly, 200-m backstroke and the 200-m individual medley — and is expected to be one of the top competitors in the Kamloops contingent. Beneath the realistic goals, the dedicated work

ethic and the nationally competitive race results, Gilbert is still just a Grade 10 student at Westsyde secondary. “He’s pretty much a typical 15-year-old,” Classics’ head coach Brad Dalke said, “but when you talk to him about swimming [he’s very mature]. He’s very driven. “He also comes to the table with a lot of great questions about what’s going on and what he needs to be doing to go to the next level.” Those conversations have led to Dalke calling Gilbert a “student of the sport.” He keeps tabs on swimmers throughout the continent, studies statistics and results of competitions and listens closely when he’s being taught. Dalke said it has helped to keep him driven, motivated — always pushing himself to get to the next level. And, according to Dalke, who’s been in charge of

the local swim team for 11 years, Gilbert is among the top five per cent of Classics’ athletes all-time, hanging in with the likes of former national team member Caitlin Meredith and 2004 Olympian Erin Gammel. At just 14, Gilbert found himself in the thick of the 800-m freestyle final at the 2013 Canadian Senior Nationals in Montreal. He raced to a 13th-place finish, with a time of eight minutes 36.4 seconds, up against adults as old as 26. He’s already qualified for three events at this season’s senior national championships in Saskatoon. “I did, surprisingly, really well,” Gilbert said of the 2013 event. “It was really big, being up with the big boys. . . it felt really good to be racing Canada’s best.” Despite the success, Gilbert remains grounded. He realizes what it takes to get to the stage of the Olympic Games or Canada’s senior national

Dave Eagles/KTW

team and instead chooses to focus on short-term, attainable goals. “I know lots of kids my age say ‘Oh, the Olympics,’” he said. “It would be awesome to go, but I like to take things step by step. “So far, that’s what I’ve been doing and it’s working.”

Coach’s corner

Dalke is hoping the provincial championships — the first winter short-course provincial meet to be held in Kamloops — will give the Classics the opportunity to make a statement to the rest of the province. He’s looking forward to seeing all the competitors from Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland trek over the Coquihalla to the Interior, a trip the Classics know well. “We’re looking to make a move on the provincial scene.”

HEN YOU HAVE A MILKbag, soggypeach of a body, it’s tough to throw stones at other gymgoers, but I have a rock quarry full of ammunition that needs to be unleashed before the burden of boulders becomes too big to bear. The Tournament Capital Centre’s finest, the muscle-T-wearing wannabe Hulksters — you need to check yourself. That earth-shattering noise of plates crashing down. The otherworldly grunts and the ghoulish groans. Those struts that come straight out of an episode of Sons of Anarchy (they would make Jax Teller proud). Don’t you know what you look like? Can you hear yourself? I would say take a look in the mirror, but you’re already doing that — way too much, if you ask me. There’s nothing wrong with grinding to achieve results and anyone who puts the work in to reach their goals should be proud of themselves. And, hey, the occasional natural noise is inevitable. I’m pretty sure I moaned on the leg press on Tuesday. It happens. But, there’s a limit to how much peacocking one should do when they’re clanging and banging at the gym. It’s the forced, over-thetop stuff that needs to go. Everybody gets it — you’re jacked, pal. We understand, bra — you toss weight around. That’s great but, when you walk around like you’re carrying a pair

New suits, new science By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Jessica Hewitt of Kamloops and her Canadian Olympian speedskating teammates are rocking new duds. “They have come out with a new material that has tested really well in the wind tunnel,” Hewitt told KTW. “They are also made from a Canadian company called Apogee, so they’re truly Canadian.” Hewitt, Valérie Maltais, Marianne St. Gelais, Marie-Ève Drolet and Jessica Gregg make up the women’s half of the Canadian speedskating team heading to Sochi, Russia, for the Olympic Winter Games in February. The national team switched suit manufacturers in 2010 — from Descente to Apogee. In the five years leading up to the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010, Own the Podium [OTP] spent about $8 million on its flagship Top Secret Program. Some of that cash was spent on studies aimed at eliminating as much drag as possible from speedskating suits. Quebec-based Apogee inherited OTP’s research and set its sights on creating the best suit on the planet. “Apogee, our skinsuit maker, has made a suit that has supposedly 30 per cent less drag than any other suit ever made in the entire world,” former Canadian Olympian speedskater Denny Morrison told the Canadian Press. “Skinsuits now are made of seven or eight different materials on different parts of the body. They have different materials on the arms to go through wind at a faster speed than on your body, which is a different speed than your legs, which is a different speed than your calves, front versus back. There’s all kinds of things that went into it.” The skinsuits under-

They posed after receiving their brand new Apogee skinsuits, which might give them an edge at the Games. Hewitt grew up skating with the Kamloops Long Blades.

went rigorous testing in wind tunnels at the National Research

Council [NRC] in Ottawa. “If you don’t have

a good skinsuit, you’re not going to win even if you are the best skater,” Dr. Guy Larose of the NRC told the Canadian Press. “For most of the sports where speed is a factor, it’s actually the force that prevents the athlete from going faster. It’s the resistance to motion. “We’re definitely good on aerodynamics going into Sochi.” Not only is Hewitt happy with the suit’s scientific qualities — the aesthetics aren’t too bad and the measurements are bang on. “Mine fits perfectly,” she said.

Nelson to curl at senior provincials

Randy Nelson will be the only Kamloops representative at the Tim Hortons BC Senior Curling Championships, which run from Feb. 17 to Feb. 23 at the Comox Valley Curling Club in Courtenay. He is playing second on a Vancouver-based rink skipped by Ken Watson.

DeCap rink welcoming all comers By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

STORMING AHEAD They don’t make them like they used to and, in the case of Jofa helmets, such as the one worn by Geoff Smith in this picture, that’s probably a good thing. Smith, a former member of the Edmonton Oilers, suited up in a Kamloops Storm alumni game at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre on Sunday, Jan. 26. The game — featuring ex-professionals versus former members of the Storm — was played in conjunction with a Kootenay International Junior Hockey League regular-season matchup between Kamloops and the Chase Heat. The Storm won the league game 5-2, improving their KIJHL-best record to 35-7-0-1. The pros won the alumni game 6-3. The Storm are hosting the Sicamous Eagles on Friday, Jan. 31. Game time at McArthur is 7 p.m. Allen Douglas/KTW

Scott DeCap knows which teams will pose the greatest challenge at the B.C. men’s provincial curling championship in February. All of them. DeCap qualified for the 2014 Canadian Direct Insurance B.C. Men’s Curling Championship by winning the B event in the Okanagan playdowns in December. He has examined the field and knows it’s anyone’s game when the rinks hit the ice at the Vancouver Curling Club on Feb. 5. “Once you get to the provincials, you know that every team is going to be difficult,” he said. “So, it’s tough to really pinpoint who’s going to be the most difficult because they’re all going to be difficult.” Qualifying in December has given the Kamloops Curling Club rink plenty of time to prepare, which, DeCap said has its pros and cons. His team has been able to practise for almost a month but teams like Kamloops’ Brent Yamada rink, which qualified on Jan. 12, have the added benefit of entering the championship with a head of steam.

DeCap’s team has been together for about four seasons and has had success, albeit playing in a limited number of events. The skip went to the provincial championship 10 years ago, losing in the final to

Jay Peachey’s New Westminster rink. The experience has given him an idea of what to expect — the knowledge that every game is meaningful. There is no room for an off-night. Now 34 and back with a different squad — which includes third Ron Douglas, second Pat DeCap, lead Grant Olsen and fifth John Maskeiwich — the skip isn’t getting distracted by the fact the 2014 Brier

is being held in his hometown. “I don’t think it really matters where the Brier is. There’s always going to be a lot of pressure on whatever team makes it out of that province,” he said. “With it being in Kamloops and being a Kamloops team, if we’re able to get to that point, I don’t see it being any more pressure. I think we can use it as an advantage.”

Anger not all it seems to be

HIS WEEK, we heard from a reader who wanted to know about anger and what to do about it. She told us she is easily angered at times and would like some tips to help calm the feelings. Unless you are a saint, you have reacted badly to some people or some events and wish you could have a doover. In fact, even some saints had some notable meltdowns, including St. Jerome and Mother Teresa. Many experts say anger from time-to-time is a normal reaction to stressful events, but we would encourage you to think of angry reactions as common, not necessarily “normal.” The reason we make this distinction is because behaviour we use when we say we are angry is learned behaviour, not automatic and not exactly the same as others. As a young child, we behave angrily to get things that are denied to us or to control the behaviour and mood of the people around us — pretty much the same technique used by the bullying boss at work. It helps for us to understand anger a little bit better if we remember the loud exterior is really a mask for other strongly felt emotions underneath — hurt, panic, frustration, loss, guilt, fear, grief and others. When the emotional side of our behaviour feels like it is out of control, anger often kicks in to get us back in charge of the situation. This is why we see an anger reaction when a parent finds their toddler who suddenly disappeared from their side in the department store

or our reaction when a work colleague pops up unexpectedly in the storeroom and scares us half to death. If you, or someone you know, is angry a great deal of the time, then learning to “deal with their anger” may be a fairly unhelpful approach. They may need help to discover the emotion that is out of control behind the anger and, once that emotion is identified, come up with effective ways to cope with it. If we learn to identify the earliest signs of anger developing, we are more likely to see it as hurt or frustration, or some other emotion altogether, and

take action appropriate to that feeling instead. It is also important to remember you cannot prevent or fix angry behaviours in others; they alone are responsible and are the only ones who can take charge of it. They may tell you someone else caused their anger and, when we agree with that, we are saying it is not their responsibility to behave differently. When bad things happen to us, it may not be fair or just or polite or acceptable or even our fault, but we are still responsible for how we react and behave, so inappropriate anger is still not acceptable. Like all behaviour,

anger has thinking, doing and physiological components, as well as the feeling or emotional one. If we can have an influence on any one of the other components, we influence the emotions. If you can, find a way to think about something different with a distraction or a change of focus. Take a brisk walk to clear your head and change your body dynamics. You will be amazed at how the emotions follow along when the other three aspects of your behaviour are under control. Sometimes we need to get professional help and support to resolve those strong, underlying emotions that seem to lead to anger. If we do, we may find a whole new world of possibilities await us.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

High mass for a mob murderer

Credit Score and Home Buying Part II

Why does the Catholic Church play host to funerals of killers?

WATCHED with interest the recent spectacle of the funeral of one of Canada’s most violent mafioso, surrounded by his friends and family and embraced wholeheartedly by the Catholic Church. Here was a man who was probably responsible for almost as many murders as Saddam Hussein, the poster boy for mortal sin, and we are treated to a full high mass in his honour. The Catholic Church has never been even slightly embarrassed by this association with murderers and thugs and, in fact, appears to condone it. If the Church had

even the slightest hint of integrity, why would it allow such a group of horrible, disgusting individuals anywhere within a thousand miles of one of its houses of worship? This horrible man should have been relegated to a garbage dump, which is where many of his victims ended up. By allowing this kind of thing to take place inside the walls of a church, is the Church not condoning what these cretins do? What message does this send to children and young adults involved with these pathetic excuses for human beings? What does it say

Do you understand the difference between your credit report and your credit score? A credit report is a detailed history of how consistently you meet your ﬁnancial obligations and provides a picture of your ﬁnancial health based on your past behaviour. A credit score is an objective summary that translates personal information from your credit report and other sources into a three-digit number representing your overall credit-worthiness.

about the Catholic Church in general? And why does Pope Francis put up with it? Speaking of the pope, I noticed the Fraser Institute, the right-wing business think tank, has given him the proverbial slap on the wrist for suggesting capitalism is not good for poor people or for most people who aren’t rich. Apparently, the ghouls at the Fraser Institute know more about the poor than does God’s supposed spokesperson on Earth. Interesting also that fundamentalist Prime Minister Stephen Harper didn’t have much to say on the topic.

BILL LIGERTWOOD Rational THOUGHTS The irony and hypocrisy are almost to much to bear for this humble atheist. Then again I place the Fraser Institute and the Catholic Church on about the same level of credibility as the Sylvia Browne, the late psychic and spiritual medium. Bill Ligertwood is director of the Kamloops Centre for Rational Thought. kcfrt.com

Report: Delays affected beneﬁts for vulnerable CANADIAN PRESS

The B.C. government routinely missed legislated deadlines for providing benefits to some of the province’s most vulnerable people, the ombudsperson has concluded. Kim Carter’s report, released this week, said more than 900 people lost benefits they were entitled to receive because the government couldn’t hit legislated time targets of 20 business days.

Carter said the delays started in 2009 and resulted in the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation paying clients $350,000 in entitled benefits. She said some of the cases involve weak and ill people waiting more than 30 days to receive needed vitamin and mineral supplements and others waiting more than 50 days for necessary dental work. Carter said the ministry has agreed to improve the way it

What many prospective borrowers don’t realize is that the pricing of mortgages and other loans is based in part on their credit-worthiness, and a person’s credit score is the established measure for credit-worthiness. People with a lower credit score can ﬁnd themselves paying a higher interest rate, or denied access to certain types of loans. The good news is that by taking a few basic precautions, prospective borrowers can protect their credit report and credit score, and increase their access to better rates and a better choice of mortgage products.

Both your credit report and score are important. When deciding whether or not to grant a mortgage loan, lenders refer to an applicant’s credit report and score, along with a range of other factors such as income, employment history, and down payment size. Generally, a credit score uses your past credit history to help predict how you might manage your credit in the future. The credit score used most often by Canadian lenders is the FICO score (developed by the Fair Isaac Co.), which is a number between 0 and 900. The higher your score, the more likely you are to be approved for a mortgage and receive favourable rates because the lender considers you to be a better credit risk. Several factors are used by the two credit agencies in Canada (Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada) to calculate credit scores: • • • • • •

Debt payment history. Amounts owed compared to your current credit limits with lenders. How often you seek new credit. Length of time you have had credit accounts. Type of credit, such as car loans, lines of credit, credit cards, ﬁnance company loans. Recent new credit or cancelled cards

Fortunately, there are a number of steps that consumers can take to keep their credit report and credit score healthy: Pay your debts on time – always meet due dates. Do not ignore unpaid bills. Borrow only the amount you can afford to repay. Numerous inquiries for your credit report can sometimes worsen your score. If someone is seeking a new credit card, furniture and department store loans then their credit score will be adversely affected. However, multiple inquiries within a 30 day period for car or mortgage loans have less effect. Reviewing your own credit ﬁle regularly to stay informed about the details on your ﬁle.

New Homes Registry Keeps Homebuyers Informed This helpful, easy-to-use, online resource is available from the Homeowner Protection Office (HPO) website at www.hpo.bc.ca. Savvy homebuyers are using it to make more informed purchasing decisions. The New Homes Registry provides free access to find out if a home has a policy of home warranty insurance and is built by a Licensed Residential Builder, or whether it’s built without home warranty insurance. Homebuyers can obtain valuable information such as the name and contact number of the warranty provider, the builder’s warranty number and whether an owner-built home can be legally offered for sale. Every new home built for sale by a Licensed Residential Builder in British Columbia is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance. Better known as 2-5-10 home warranty insurance, this coverage includes: two years on labour and materials, five years on the building envelope (including water penetration), and 10 years on the structure. It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada. Visit the HPO website for free access to the New Homes Registry which is optimized for mobile devices.

FAITH

Who wrote the Torah? It wasn’t Moses A N ESSENTIAL component of the claim the Bible is the divinely inspired “Word of God” is the uninformed belief Moses wrote the Torah, the Bible’s first five books. Exodus 24:4 says, “Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord.” Even if this could be proved true, the surviving Hebrew text cannot be considered a trustworthy copy. The words Moses wrote may have been the basis for some of it, but substantial editing has taken place. This destroys any notion we are reading the unadulterated word of God. The language Moses would have known was Paleo-Hebrew. Its roots are Phoenician. However, today’s Hebrew source text for the Torah is written in a later Assyrian-based script Moses would not have recognized. This transformation alone represents a major corruption. However, the Torah’s revisions are not limited to an alphabet upgrade. Within the text exist numerous anachronisms and other statements Moses could not have authored. Three times in Genesis, we find the word “Chaldeans” — Genesis 11:28 and 31, and 15:7.

Moses never heard revealed this name to of the Chaldeans. the patriarchs. They rose to promHowever, accordinence several centuing to Genesis, the ries after his era. knowledge of God’s We are told name being Yahweh Abraham “went in goes all the way back pursuit as far as Dan” to creation.

of Deuteronomy on the west side of the Jordan River where Moses never set foot (Deuteronomy 1:1). Evidently, the King James translators were so distressed by this verse, they deliberately mistranslated the Hebrew to deceive readers into thinking the author was on the east side. Some modern dynamic equivalence translations such as the New International Version are similarly dishonest and misleading. Deuteronomy ends by describing the death and burial of Moses (Deuteronomy 34:5-8). Obviously, a dead man cannot record his own funeral. Moreover, the author says the location of the grave is unknown “to this day” — implying considerable time had passed since the interment. The passage concludes with “Never since has there arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses” (Deuteronomy 34:10). Such a statement could not have been made until several of the later prophets had lived. This dates Deuteronomy to a time centuries after Moses. Jewish and Christian theologians quickly perceive the above deems their holy book a highly questionable foundation for religions they

may have invested their entire careers in promoting. This may explain why many of those familiar with the issues cling to the traditional view and propose all sorts of unbelievable theories in desperate attempts to explain the offending passages. However, they are doomed to frustration because there are many other serious difficulties within the Torah beyond the few I’ve had room for in this brief column. Wouldn’t it be better — not to mention more pleasing to God — to just start being honest about all this? Yes, it takes courage to allow our traditional Judeo-Christian paradigm to disintegrate, but why live in a fantasy world in fear of facing reality? The prophet Habakkuk said, “the righteous live by their faith” (Habakkuk 2:4b). I think he was referring to faith in God, not a collection of corrupted ancient documents of unknown origin.

SPECIAL TO KTW

HEN MY GOOD friend Sharolynn called me from Prince George to tell me she was coming to Kamloops for the Christmas holidays, I was excited to plan an excursion that would have us being active while still giving us the opportunity to visit. Snowshoeing is quickly becoming a popular Kamloops sport and we decided to give it a try, so we drove up to Sun Peaks and rented snowshoes from the Adventure Center in the Village Day Lodge. The rental price included a pass for the groomed and marked snowshoe trails, as well as complimentary trail map and an interpretive guide booklet. Snowshoes were essential tools for early Canadian fur traders and trappers whose livelihood depend-

snowshoes are made of lightweight metal, plastic and synthetic fabric. We walked across the covered bridge and put on our snowshoes before making our way to the

trail head. Neither one of us had ever tried the sport, but we both caught on surprisingly fast. For the most part, we stayed on the trail but, every so often, we veered off to get a taste of trekking through deep snow. Camera in hand, we stopped to take pictures of the snow cave, the bird feeders and all the decorated Christmas trees we discovered along the way. Snowshoeing is a great workout and, by the time we made it to the Umbrella Café, we were ready to stop for a cup of hot chocolate and

a bite to eat. This unique cafe is constructed from a large yellow metal umbrella surrounded by glass and heated with outdoor heaters. With a bar in the middle and seating all around, this little gem not only provides great food with an amazing view, it’s also a social hub for winter fun-seekers. After a few hours, our legs were tired and we decided to call it a day and looked forward to trying it again one day, perhaps even going on one of the different snowshoe tours offered at Sun Peaks — including the McGillivray Lake Full Day Tour, the Alpine Snowshoe Experience, Snowshoe Golf, and the Snowshoe Campfire Cookout & S’mores.

Tee it up on Feb. 9 and help Paul Lake ﬁght ﬁres The Paul Lake Fire Protection Association is looking to fight fire with ice in its Snow Golf Tournament in February. The tournament is scheduled to take place on the frozen surface of Paul Lake on Sunday, Feb. 9. It will consist of nine holes of best-ball golf on the man-made snow course, with a shotgun start. The Paul Lake Fire Protection

Association is raising funds to help it refurbish a fire truck donated by the McLure Fire Department. It’s also planning to build a fire hall for the volunteer firefighters and their equipment. Association president Ed Lund said the Paul Lake area has only a fire trailer with four pumps on it for battling fires right now, noting it is not enough.

“We’ve had a couple of fires and we’ve also had a loss of life in one of the fires,” Lund said. “We would really like to get the word out that it’s really important that we get this fire hall built.” Play on Feb. 9 will begin at 11 a.m. and registration will be $25 per person.
