First Nations bands against city’s annexation bid By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The chiefs of the Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn Indian bands will use “whatever legal means are at our hands” to block the City of Kamloops’ plans to annex New Gold’s New Afton Mine. In a letter to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, TIB Chief Shane Gottfriedson and Skeetchestn Chief Ron Ignace said they are opposed to the boundary expansion, which they say will “encroach on our respective First Nations’ traditional territory,” and could take legal action if the annexation proceeds.

Ignace said his band has been against the annexation since it was first approached by the city. “We told them in no uncertain terms that we would oppose it, that we would ask them to respect our aboriginal title and rights and not expand the boundaries of the city,” he said. “We also told the city, if you’re going to do that, then you’d better get into revenue-sharing with us and the city said we will not share one cent with you. So, what benefit is it to us?” The city wants to annex the mine to the west in order to bring down its heavy-industrial tax rate, which Domtar and other industrial companies in the city have complained is

about double what they would pay in other parts of the province. But, Ignace said, the city’s solution to its taxation issues threatens the bands’ revenue-sharing agreements with the mine. The bands get 37.5 per cent of mineral tax revenue collected by the province, as well as direct payments from the mine. New Gold also has a participation agreement that guarantees the bands have input on environmental monitoring, as well as jobs and training opportunities for band members and businesses. Both chiefs said the process by which the city can annex New Afton is unfairly simple compared to

what they are going through as they attempt to expand the boundaries of their reserves. While the New Afton lands aren’t part of the TIB’s Douglas Treaties land claim, over which the band is still in negotiations with the provincial and federal governments, Gottfriedson said it is territory that was traditionally used by both bands. “I think the whole process is way too easy for municipalities to expand their boundaries,” Gottfriedson said. “When you look at First Nations, when you look at our addition-toreserve process, it’s a very complicated 20-year process, yet the

province and the municipalities can have a low-level consultation to add properties to their land. It’s just not a level playing field.” Ignace said his band has spent more than a century fighting for its land rights while watching municipalities carve off pieces of Skeetchestn territory. “Logan Lake has municipal boundaries within our territory that are larger than Victoria or Kamloops,” he said. “Now we have Kamloops trying to expand that. Pretty soon, if we keep allowing those municipalities to expand their boundaries, what is going to be left for us?” X See MAYOR A15

Bike to Work Week ~ May 26 to June 1 The seventh annual Kamloops Bike to Work Week is May 26 to June 1. The province-wide initiative aims to get people to park their vehicles and bike to work during the week. Participants can register free as individuals, or as part of a team. Participants can bike as much as they like: from everyday to one day, one way. Cyclists can use the bus bike racks to get to work and ride home, or they can drive partway and ride the rest—just get on your bike! This year, participants can look forward to even more leading up to the week including: free bike maintenance courses, group rides and prizes for early registration. There will also be a table at the Saturday Farmer’s Market where people can try out a bus bike rack and test their speed changing a tire. During the week of May 26, there will be Celebration Stations around Kamloops for the morning and afternoon commutes, where cyclists can stop to refuel with free snacks and enter to win bike-related prizes—including the grand prize of a new bike! There will be a wrap-up BBQ after work on Friday, May 30. Participants can register on the new website that is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. The new registration system allows individuals to log their own rides this year, instead of their team leader. It also incorporates an easy-to-use mapping system, so that riders can map their routes to conveniently log repeat trips. Bike to Work Week is May 26 - June 1.

Prepping for Victoria Day weekend mess By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The party is over, but there’s no cleaning up this mess. At a clearing on Noble Creek Road, range agrologist Mike Dedels stops his service truck and spies a faint track stemming from a pipeline road that bends up toward an aspen copse. Based on the width of the treadmarks, it appears a truck left the dirt road and entered the grass area, tearing up two strips of dirt. “That turns into a road,” said Dedels, who, along with staff from Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Development, RCMP and conservation officers, is preparing for the long weekend blitz of campers. At the base of the area, drivers cut doughnuts on the only flat land in the meadow — marks that are still plainly visible. This Victoria Day long weekend will mark the busiest of the year in Crown areas and parks as city residents vie for unregulated camping spaces in grasslands and forests of the region. In 2012, the ministry closed three popular grassland areas — Tunkwa Lake outside the park, Six Mile and Cherry Creek — to off-road vehicles.

While there are thousands of hectares of forests with designated camping available, experience has shown off-road riders and drivers favour grassland riding. That has increased pressure on areas, including this one at Noble Creek, along with Scuitto Lake. “This area does get out-oftown pressure early,” Dedels said. “Ranchers have found people camping from Prince George as early as April.” Roadblocks by RCMP and conservation officers are expected to be up at key points entering the Tunkwa area. As many as 400 trucks and campers are typically seen in the area south of the city on the May long weekend. Enforcement will also be done around Noble Creek and Scuitto Lake, south of Barnhartvale. “Easter long weekend last year it came to a head,” said rancher Linnea Inskip, who owns the grazing licence for these lands. “It took police 2.5 hours to clear people out.” Last year, the ministry put up a large number of signs along the grazing lease land warning riders they are not permitted to venture off the road. The Inskips have also piled logs and timber debris on many of the

routes to further discourage riding. “I think we’ll be OK,” she said. “We’ve had lots of enforcement. Conservation officers came out on Easter all three days.” Noelle Kekula, a recreation officer with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Development, said patrols will start early and run through the weekend. “We’ll have patrols out everywhere the snow isn’t.” Enforcement at Noble Creek comes in part due to closures at the three areas south of Kamloops. Inskip said closures and enforcement in other areas often pushes crowds somewhere else. In this case, riding and camping is permitted farther up Noble Lake Road in a controlled recreation area. Inskip said the province has also promised a new sign at the entrance to the area, replacing an old sign “that doesn’t show anything.” The ranching family has noticed some riders continuing north on Westsyde Road and branching off to O’Connor Road, which is also under a grazing lease. Those leases give ranchers — who pay property and school taxes on the land — rights akin to fee-simple ownership they don’t have with a typical grazing licence.

Now that riding season is here, a few words of caution are apt to ensure a safe ride for all. First: Drivers will not be used to seeing motorcycles on the road yet so they may not be expecting you so take extra care. Second: Not all streets and roads have been cleared of the sand and gravel which poses a real danger for those on two wheels. Third: Ensure you wear proper clothing as hypothermia doesn’t bode well for safe riding. A good blend of common sense and defensive driving skills should make for a safe ride. If you unfortunately do get injured in a motorcycle accident, we can help. It’s what we do.

The federal Conservative party is first out of the gates by once again nominating MP Cathy McLeod before an anticipated election in the fall of 2015. Opposition parties in the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo riding are in the midst of finding challengers. The Conservatives said no challenger came forward in a bid to oust McLeod, who has held the seat since 2008. She has never faced a nomination race, having been appointed by the party prior to her first election and running uncontested in 2011. Incumbent MPs typically do not face nomination races unless they have run afoul of the party. McLeod said the Conservatives are focused on governing

the country while working in the background to prepare for the next federal election in October 2015. The Conservatives are in the midst of nominating candidates in each of the country’s 338 ridings, some of them revamped since 2011. That includes McLeod’s riding of Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo, which loses the community of Valemount, but is otherwise little changed. Perennial NDP challenger Michael Crawford said he has not decided if he will run a fourth time. The party’s local nomination committee is looking for candidates and is hoping to be given the go-ahead by federal New Democrats to hold a meeting by next month. “We’d like to get it done before summer,” Crawford said. “The nomination period just

opened in B.C.” Crawford said he’s willing to step aside should a formidable candidate for the party emerge this spring. “I think if there’s a strong candidate who comes forward that I’ll be happy to support, then I’ll jump on that train and make sure we win in 2015.” Local Liberals are also seeking a candidate to represent the party in next year’s election and are targeting a nomination meeting by the end of summer. “I expect there to be a race,” said Tyler Carpentier, president of the Kamloops Liberal riding association. “There’s definitely multiple people (interested) at this point.” In the last federal election, the Liberal party captured under six per cent of the popular vote, barely besting the Greens. But, Carpentier said,

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has captured the public imagination since then. “In January [2013], when Justin Trudeau was visiting, we had over 600 people at TRU for a guy who wasn’t even leader at that point,” Carpentier said. “We’ve seen growth in our activity since then.” Crawford said he expects the auditor general’s review of each senator’s spending will damage the fortunes of both the Conservatives and Liberals. “That will come out in early 2015 and will play into the federal election,” he said.

Ignoring probation nets jail By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A judge had harsh words — but a not-so-harsh sentence — for a Kamloops man who she said took advantage of aboriginal-circle sentencing by breaching his probation terms for the seventh and eighth times. Douglas Jensen, 36, was in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday, May 15 — six days after he was arrested on two breach charges. Jensen was, in the past, linked by the Crown to the Redd Alert aboriginal street gang and was on the Kamloops RCMP’s list of prolific offenders, with more than 60 convictions on his criminal record. He was offered circle sentencing after being convicted of assaulting a peace officer, dan-

gerous driving and possession of stolen property. On Feb. 14, 2011, Jensen drove a stolen pickup truck into a house on the Tk’emlups Indian Band (TIB) reserve before leading police on a high-speed chase — during which he drove the truck at a constable. Jensen was in custody for more than 18 months after the incident. He was granted bail prior to the September 2012 sentencing circle, during which he was placed on a 22-month probation term. He was also ordered to enter into a four-year contract with the TIB and to abstain from drugs and alcohol. Court has heard Jensen was the victim of sexual assault during his childhood. Jensen pleaded guilty to two counts of breach of probation in

court on Thursday, the seventh and eighth such charges he’s racked up since the circle sentencing. “Considerable advantage was taken of the benefits of the sentencing circle,” said Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame. “When there are six breaches of the same order, it’s allegation seven and eight too many.” The latest breaches came after separate incidents — one in which Jensen gave his probation officer the incorrect address of his home and one in which he failed to show up for a meeting with his addictions counsellor. Despite Frame’s harsh words, she did not throw the book at Jensen. The Crown asked for a jail term between 90 and 120 days, but Frame sentenced Jensen to 45 days.

Guilty plea to spitting at arresting officers Offender first announced he has hepatitis C By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A man infected with hepatitis C who spit into the eye and mouth of a RCMP constable during an arrest in March at a North Shore home will have plenty of time to sit in jail and think about his actions. Graham Scott Penner pleaded guilty to one count of assaulting a peace officer in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday, May 15. Court heard Mounties were called to the Fortune Drive home of the 43-yearold’s girlfriend at about 4 a.m. on March 2 for a reported domestic assault. Two officers — constables Kevin Roy and Howard Morine —

were sent to the home. When they arrived, Penner was placed in handcuffs after a short discussion. According to Crown prosecutor Will Burrows, that’s when he began lashing out. “Mr. Penner advised the members that he was contagious with hepatitis C and he spat right in the face of Const. Roy,” he said. “Const. Morine hit the accused twice in the face with a punch and they forced him to the ground.” Burrows said Penner’s saliva got into the mouth and eyes of Roy, which made Morine’s actions justified. “He [Morine] indicated he’s been a member for seven years and it’s the first time he’d

ever had to hit somebody,” Burrows said. “He felt he had to hit him and that’s what happened.” Some of the saliva also got on Morine and both men were treated at Royal Inland Hospital. Burrows said Roy has had two clear hepatitis C tests since the incident, with a final examination slated for September. Kamloops provincial court Judge Roy Dickie said incidents of contagious people spitting on

police are examples of serious assault. “It’s something that should never happen,” he said. “When it does happen, these courts will take it very seriously. “The consequences [for the victim] can be significant and could be life-threatening.” Penner was handed a six-month jail term for the assault and an additional three months for a separate breach charge dating back to February, to which he also pleaded guilty.

What would you tell your high-school self today?

REMEMBER MY HIGHschool graduation. Grad ’06 was mine and it was eight years ago. It feels like another world, but I remember some things about commencement day. I remember my family coming for the ceremony. I remember flipping a camera around to take pictures with my friends, back before the selfie was the selfie. I remember wondering why I had bothered wearing a dress that day, only for it to be covered by those big poncho-type gowns. Um, hello? I remember feeling like I was free, like I could do anything. It’s been nearly a decade and I’ve done a lot since then. I’ve been thinking about it lately. The reflection comes from an invitation to go back to my former school to speak to students about graduating. If I could go back, what would I tell my high-school self? What have I learned since I left? In considering this, I asked around. My boyfriend gave me a couple of good cheeky answers: “Learn to say, ‘Yes, dear.’” And, “Learn to clean up better.” But, I put it out on social media and had a lot of good feedback online. Here’s a sample of what was said: Someone with whom I graduated high school offered this advice: “Travel, travel, travel . . . be there with an open mind and [be] open

to new experiences, people and ways of doing. Also, put down the smartphone and experience the moment.” A man soon to retire said this: “If I had to tell myself anything, it would be to not be so hard on myself for making mistakes. “College is great for the basics, but proper handling and adapting to screw-ups is the true test.” Another put it ever-so-eloquently: “I would tell myself that all the douchebags stay that way and that you just have to truly learn to move past them.” He also added, however: “The toughest times are just around the corner and the 10 years after high school, you learn 10 times as much about yourself, love, independence and the world.” A local yoga-studio owner offered this: “Be yourself, trust yourself, grow into yourself.” A local real-estate agent advised: “Don’t agree with your high-school teacher who thinks you should become an accountant.” A local radio personality said

this: “The first thing I’d say to my high-school self is, ‘You’re an idiot — self-centred, naive and wasting your life.’” But, he also had some advice: “Your potential is far greater than you give yourself credit for. Despite obstacles and challenges, fight through and keep moving forward.” A friend of mine offered this: “Take advice from anyone your senior . . . Never say no to an opportunity — even if you fail, you learn from the experience . . . “Meet everyone at the party. Keep in touch with those ones who seem to know what they’re doing.” My grandmother offered this: “Be yourself and always challenge yourself at every age.” Finally, a girl who graduated a few years ahead of me offered advice I also have for students: “What I’ve learned since high school and what I wish I could tell my high-school self is that it’s all about the journey and the mistakes you make. “Determine the person you are . . . choose to learn and grow. “[Don’t] get so down on yourself for making [mistakes] because everyone screws up big time at some point in their lives.” What would you tell your highschool self? What have you learned since then? jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @KTWjess

Speak up well before the dam breaks A spike in domestic violence in B.C. this year is a stark reminder more must be done to address the reasons men focus their emotional disturbance on women they know. More often than not, it’s women who suffer at the hands of their male partners in cases of domestic violence. There are certainly studies and case files of why men become violent and their inappropriate actions towards women and others. This isn’t an attempt to analyze what is going through someone’s mind when a relationship ends or life’s stresses become almost unbearable. It’s a call to politicians, activists, health-care professionals and law-enforcement agencies to not just leap to the defence of victims after the fact, but to provide resources to anyone when they need help dealing with massive and unwelcome change — ideally before the dam breaks. It’s also a call to parents, family and friends to confront emotions and uncomfortable situations with their loved ones head-on and change attitudes about how men deal with it. This is not responding to violence with violence — it’s simply a request to be willing to talk about life with a friend or partner instead of avoiding it, keeping it balled up inside and allowing it to fester. It’s about eliminating the concept of shame when to indulge in it is not appropriate for an individual or their social circles. It’s also about an individual being responsible for their reactions to any given situation, stressful or not. Only the individual can control how they react and if we want them to avoid violence, they need the tools in their lives to take a better path than the one that leads them to violence against another person. Everyone needs to speak up — if they feel threatened or if they are in crisis — men and women.

Withdraw the book

Even though I have not read the book, it should be withdrawn from any of our school libraries. It is and should always be a parents right to object to and control what their child is being exposed to in our

education system. What ever happened to parental democratic rights when it comes to our education system? I do not appreciate my grandchildren being exposed to this style of literature nor the children of anyone else.

And we wonder why our taxes keep going up; as if our schools aren’t already having enough trouble with their budgets, now they’re getting sued because a book has made one overzealous parent with a sheltered kid uncomfortable. Like it or not kids these days live in a much different world than we did at their age. Let them read the book, I’m sure they’ve already watched the movie!

That poor kid

I feel so sorry for Dean Audet’s son. What’s the poor kid going to do when his dad is not there to protect him from life. Life’s not always pretty, clean and healthy. Is it possible that learning about life’s underside from a book is better than experiencing it? Read it, talk about it, let your child know the ways to avoid the bad. Mr. Audet has the

Forced discourse counterproductive If students are already facing the issues presented in the book, a discussion could be held around the topics without having the students give more attention to them by reading the book. Some students are much more sensitive and affected than others and make their own choice to avoid them in their environment-which they should have the freedom to do. A book choice by a teacher takes it a step closer and much more difficult for them to avoid than just in the environment around them. What is the goal of having students read the book? What is the desired outcome of the “rich discussion” to follow? From my experience of having four children in the public-education system, these topics are brought up for discussion regularly, but forcing

students who are making a choice to not get involved in these activities to read about them on top of dealing with them on a daily basis with classmates, seems counterproductive. If the goal is desensitization on a mass scale of public school students in a vulnerable position, there certainly should be red flags going up, as this is not the mandate of the educational system. Could it be possible that a book that deliniates how students not involved in these behaviours find the strength to say ‘no’ could be used? Stories about those who once were involved in the listed activities and now are not may generate much rich discussion for how to make long term healthy choices?

TALK BACK

Q&A WE ASKED

Books don’t dictate teenagers’ behaviours It’s not often that I feel moved enough to write into the local paper, however the threatened lawsuit towards the Kamloops school district is one that I feel is a bit over the top and unnecessary. While I respect the right of Mr. Audet to protect the intellectual development of his son from subject matter that he deems inappropriate, there are far greater threats in this vast and wonderful society of ours that could affect a coming of age teenager. Perhaps those demonstrated in the book, for example, although all of these are easily within reach to any curious young person. I have read The Perks of Being a Wallflower and, personally, it was not my favorite book. In truth, I found myself not really enjoying it at all. This coming from someone who has only had one partner, never touched drugs or alcohol and does their best to never swear (all behaviors present in said book). Reading this novel did not cause me to want to go out and engage in any of these behaviors. The fact that Mr. Audet’s son approached him and voiced his concern shows me that he is mature enough to know that the subject matter is offensive to him and that he wants no part in engaging with that material. This demonstrates to me that Mr. Audet has raised a wise and intelligent son who will go forth and live a life that is in line with his own personal views and moral code of conduct. Any father should be incredibly proud of that. I’m just not sure what lesson it’s teaching anyone to threaten a lawsuit when all the steps were taken to satisfy the needs of a concerned parent (an alternate book offered as an assignment as well as a full review of the book in question). Let’s teach our children to question what they deem as right and wrong and not to just throw anyone in jail for a crime that was not committed.

Wine

Down with Us Enjoy a New Wine, and Learn Terminology to Help you sound like a Wine Enthusiast By Jake Ootes, Celista Estate Winery We have just released our newest wine, Inspired Madness, so named by a visiting friend from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, our former home. He admired our large farm property but wondered what in the world we were doing at our age, in our 70’s, as a retirement project to plant a vineyard and to open a winery. He said this was “Inspired Madness,” and so, a name for our newest wine was born. The wine is a red variety made from Marechal Foch grapes, a French variety. We aged this wine in American oak barrels for a dry, oaked style, adding an extra aromatic dimension to the nose of the wine. The wine is now one of six varieties we offer, three white and three red, at our winery which we opened four years ago in 2010, although we have been growing grapes for eleven years. Today we reflect on how the wine market in British Columbia is growing by leaps and bounds. While the British Columbia wine industry has a history dating back to the nineteenth century, it is only in the last twenty-five years that the number of wineries in British Columbia has grown significantly. Today there are 215 wineries and over 500 vineyards. In the Shuswap we have six wineries. Because of our northern latitude some of the grape varieties are perhaps not as well known, nevertheless they produce top flight wines. All the wineries of the Shuswap have won significant awards at the national level (Celista won two gold medals in 2012 and a total of 20 medals in the first three years of its operation.) As for the main varieties grown in the Shuswap two are predominant - Ortega, a white variety, and Marechal Foch, a red variety.

sturdy, flavourful and age-worthy reds. The wines have a strong acid base making them food –friendly. The hybrid grapes are small, purpled-skinned with deep inky-coloured juice. Foch is easy to enjoy young, although the strong acid base makes it great for aging. Consumption of wine is undergoing rapid consumer growth and as a result people are gaining greater insight and awareness of wine. And so, as with anything, people are interested in learning the language of the industry. The following are some of the terms a wine devotee might use in talking about wine. Oenophile – a lover of wine. Bouquet – the layers of smell and aromas perceived in a wine. Also referred to as aroma. Palate – the feel and taste of wine in the mouth

In the case of cork usage this increases with time as the wine ages and evaporates or seeps into the cork. Acid – one of the tastes in wine. It is sometimes described as sour, acidic or tart and can be found on the sides of the tonque and mouth. Nose – a term used to describe the bouquet and aroma of wine.

Ortega is a cross between Muller-Thurgau and Siegerrebe, developed as a German wine but named in honour of the Spanish poet and philosopher Jose Ortega y Gasset. The grape is very suitable for our northern latitude because it ripens early and is cold hardy. Ortega wines have aromas of Muscat and peach and are often used for sweet wines. The wines are considered to improve with cellaring.

Tannin – a natural compound and preservative that comes from the skins, stems and seeds of the grapes.

Marechal Foch is winter–hardy and its fruit is early ripening and disease resistant, ideal for our location here on the North Shore of Shuswap Lake. Foch produces

HE GRADE 3 students were thrilled to get the colourful plastic straws and couldn’t wait to try the exercise. They put them into their mouths, pinched their noses, pursed their lips around the ends and breathed through them for one minute — if they could. “That’s how Alysa breathes every day without the straw,” said the nine-year-old’s dad, Matt Robinson, brought along by his daughter to help as she gave a presentation to her South Sa-Hali class about living with cystic fibrosis. As befits a youngster not used to public speaking — even in her classroom — Alysa told her classmates she was nervous, but then launched into a presentation of the reality of her life. There are 50 to 70 pills a day — she takes more than a dozen in the morning and has to take them any time she eats foods other than fruits or vegetables. There is a machine she puts into her mouth twice a day for three treatments, breathing in the smoke-like substance it emits to help break up the mucus that fills her lungs so she can move

she said. Hospital treatment means washing a special substance around the port — “which I hate because they really sting,” Alysa said — but which she knows is essential to keep away germs. A needle is put through the port and the area is covered with a patch Alysa said she calls a Teletubbie because it looks like the cartoon characters’ face shape. May 25 Once hooked up, McArthur Island she said, “they grab 9 a.m. a syringe and hook it up to the line and plug it in and attach it to a needle and push a little bit then pull back and look for blood.” Cue the groans from her classmates. “And, if it doesn’t work, they them in a hospital for more have to keep going it again and invasive treatments. again and again until they get For Alysa, who has had so blood,” she said. many intravenous needles docAll the while, Alysa can taste tors can no longer use her hands salt water in her mouth, a reacor arms, it means having a port tion to the fluids being used. in her body, just above her Cue the “cools” from her stomach, that is used to help rid her body of the mucus that also classmates.

Matt told the students how his daughter and her six-yearold sister Kiana, who also has cystic fibrosis, have to use the machine for 15 deep breaths six times twice a day. It takes about 45 minutes to do that part of the daily procedure they need to do to breathe. In the first 130 days of this year, Alysa has spent 49 of

Class will take part in annual walk for CF X From A10

Because infections are a problem for people with cystic fibrosis, Matt said, his girls can’t go to the playroom at the hospital, but must stay in their room most of the time. That means some creative fun-making and the tub makes a great fort for relaxing. Alysa can’t sleep in it — “although I really want to” — because of all the tubes and machines she is hooked up to at night. The pulmonary-function tests can be fun, even though they’re hard, she said, because they are like playing a game. Alysa has to breathe in and then out in such a way as to make the clouds float or send a toaster into the air and then make the toast pop out. One of the first questions Alysa was asked was when she “got it.” She explained that, when she was little, about 18 months old, “I kept puking on my mom, so they took me to a doctor who did some tests. They wrapped me in blankets and my mom squeezed me and squeezed me and squeezed me and then they tested the salt in my sweat in the blankets.” The “sweat test” is considered the best and most reliable test for diagnosing cystic fibrosis. It actually measures the amount of chloride in sweat. People who have the disease have more chloride in their bodies than people without it. After her presentation, the class started to make posters to promote the upcoming Great Strides Walk, a fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Teacher Denise Underwood said the class has taken on the event as its project and plans to share with the rest of the students in the school what they learned from their classmate. They will also be raising funds, with a goal to be able to pledge $350 for Alysa, who will take part in the Sunday, May 25, event at McArthur Island. Check-in for the walk is 9 a.m., with the event starting at 10 a.m. For more information, go online to cystic fibrosis. ca/greatstrides/find-a-walk/kamloops or email Nicrobinson@hotmail.com. There’s a link to donate, as well, as well as one to sponsor participants — like Alysa. Her team is AlyAna’s Army.

With her props, including a large stuffed animal, Alysa demonstrated to her classmates many of the medical procedures she experiences as she receives constant treatment for cystic fibrosis. When nine-year-old Alysa and her sister, Kiana, 6 (who also has cystic fibrosis), visit the hospital, the risk of infection is so high they must remain in their rooms. The Great Strides Walk, a fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis Canada, will be held on Sunday, May 25, at McArthur Island. Check-in for the walk is 9 a.m., with the event starting at 10 a.m. For more information, go online to cystic fibrosis.ca/greatstrides/find-a-walk/kamloops or email Nicrobinson@hotmail.com.

Imagine No Region 4 begins tonight in Kamloops By Cam Fortems

4 conference, which runs from today (May 16) through Sunday, May 18, at the Kamloops Coast Hotel and Conference Centre. That strongly held belief from a man raised as a boy to be a Catholic has cost diCarlo two university jobs and led to vandalism to his car, threats and an incident when a driver grasping a rosary hanging from his rearview mirror angrily tried to run him off the road while diCarlo transported young players to a minor baseball game. The rage, diCarlo believes, was caused by the Darwin fish symbol on his rear bumper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s akin to the way LGBT (lesbi-

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Two hundred people will gather this weekend to talk about a better life without a higher power. One of them, philosopher Christopher diCarlo, will return to Kamloops for a fourth time, where he will meet with other university professors, former clergy who have renounced their faith and a lead scientist for the Cassini mission surveying Saturn. All will renounce the existence of God and argue for the supremacy of science at the Imagine No Religion

an, gay, bisexual, transexual) people feel in coming out,â&#x20AC;? said the loudly atheist philosopher who \has no tenured university position â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something he puts down to his outspoken belief in the lack of a higher power. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has a different aspect â&#x20AC;&#x201D; many people fear it . . . They think you have no system of ethics and are a relativist. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll cheat, steal, murder and eat kittens for breakfast.â&#x20AC;? But, diCarlo and other speakers at the event â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which has become what the philosopher called the biggest atheism conference in Canada â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will come together to imagine a life free of what they regard as superstition

born of ignorance. Organizer Bill Ligertwood, an avowed skeptic and atheist, said there is a camaraderie he first experienced while attending an event in California. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What unites us is a common cause. A lot of us see religion, not just Christianity per se, as being a negative force in lots of ways in a lot of parts of the world.â&#x20AC;? In addition to diCarlo, who won TV Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best lecturer competition five years ago, speakers at the event include other post-secondary educators, scientists and former preachers.

Chief among those is Carolyn Porco, head of imaging for the Cassini mission to Saturn and selected by Time Magazine as one of the 25 most important people in space. Ligertwood said the focus of Imagine No Religion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the name comes from the lyrics of a John Lennon song â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is on scientific understanding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of us see a need to come together and educate people about reality.â&#x20AC;? DiCarlo said studies have shown only 18 per cent of people identify themselves as atheists and the majority are quiet about it.

Unions, B.C. reach tentative deal

A tentative agreement has been reached between the province and the unions representing 47,000 healthcare workers, including more than 1,000 in the Kamloops area. The Facilities Bargaining Association, a coalition of unions including the Hospital Employees’ Union (HEU) and the Canadian Union of Public Employees, is recommending the agreement to its members. The five-year deal, reached with the assistance of mediator Vince Ready, includes a 5.5 per cent wage increase

over the life of the deal, limits to contracting out and protects benefits. It also includes provisions that deal specifically with paramedic staff’s confers about this pay scales. HEU business manager Bonnie Pearson said obtaining a 96 per cent strike mandate at the end of April helped move the bargaining sessions to the tentative deal. The contract includes workers in hospitals, residentialcare facilities, emergency health services, logistics and other operations. It co vera care aids, paramedics,

health-records staff, diagnostic specialists, emergency dispatchers, nursing-unit clerks, maintenance workers, cleaning and dietary staff, admitting and booking clerks and pharmacy techs, among others. The current agreement expired on March 31. Negotiations began on Jan. 14. Other unions involved include the B.C. Government and Service Employeees’ Union, the International Union of Operating Engineers, local 882/882H and the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers Union, local 5.

Mayor not surprised by opposition X From A3

Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar said it doesn’t come as any surprise to him that the bands are opposing the expansion, and many of the frustrations over federal and provincial processes are ones the bands have expressed to him before. “I think there’s a whole lot of things going on here, more than just an objection to the City of Kamloops and our plans,” he said. City staff are in the process of determining what an expanded Kamloops would look like and how tax revenue from New Afton would be blended in to the current tax model. Once that work is complete, Milobar said the city will

likely want to meet again, but for the moment there is nothing new for the city or the bands to say to each other. “I view it as any relationship certainly we’re going to agree sometimes and disagree on other steps either side wants to take on different topics,” he said. The provincial government requires the city to consult with affected First Nations as well as the Thompson-Nicola Regional district and other impacted parties before it can expand its boundaries, but Milobar said he’s not sure whether having consent from the bands would be a requirement for the annexation to go ahead.

MUG SHOTS CRIME OF THE WEEK SALVATION ARMY STORE BROKEN INTO Thieves have taken a new low in breaking into a Salvation Army community based store located on Tranquiile rd. Overnight on Tuesday May 13th, suspects disabled the store alarm system, then proceed to smash out a window and gained access to the entire building. The suspects had been in the building for some time as numerous offices, filing cabinets were searched through before they took a computer and cash. There is only a very vague description of two Caucasian males in their 20’s, leaving the area and there is no doubt they had something to do with the theft. The Salvation Army is such a valuable asset to the community, most of the staff are volunteers and work very hard to keep the store going to help the less fortunate. If you have any information on this break and enter, please contact Crime Stoppers, no court, no statements, just do the right thing to help catch these thieves.

University reinstates tenure CANADIAN PRESS

SASKATOON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The president of the University of Saskatchewan said the school is willing to return tenure to a professor who was fired over a letter he wrote critical of budget cuts. Robert Buckingham was terminated this week after the opposition New Democrats released his letter in the legislature. University president Ilene Busch-Vishniac said academic freedom and tenure â&#x20AC;&#x153;are sacrosanctâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the university.

But, she also said the case of Buckingham, who was executive director of the School of Public Health, is not one of academic freedom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Buckingham was removed from his executive director position for acting contrary to the expectations of his leadership role,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; BuschVishniac said in a press release on Thursday, May 15. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Robert Buckingham, who was terminated from his position on May 14, will not return to that leadership position.

He will, however, be offered a tenured faculty position.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Busch-Vishniac said confusion had stemmed from differing interpretations of his contract. She also said Buckingham was never banned from the campus, as had been reported by the NDP. The universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision came shortly after Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall said he wanted an urgent meeting between the province and the board over the professorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firing.

Provincial government apologizes for racism CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; British Columbia has formally apologized after more than 140 years of discriminatory and racist policies directed towards Chinese immigrants, including the Chinese head tax. Premier Christy Clark made the apology in the legislature, saying B.C. expresses its sorrow and regret for historical government practices once considered appropriate, but now viewed as

unacceptable, intolerable racist discrimination. She said she believes the allparty apology can bring closure to a dark period in B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history and on behalf of all British Columbians and all members in the legislature. The official apology motion introduced by Clark said the legislature apologizes for more than 100 laws, regulations and policies imposed by past B.C. governments that discriminated against people of Chinese

descent since the province entered confederation in 1871. The apology, which does not include an offer of compensation, said the laws and policies denied B.C. Chinese the right to vote, hold public office, own property and more. In 2006, the federal government offered an apology for the head tax imposed on Chinese immigrants and included $20,000 in compensation for families or surviving people who paid the tax.

B.C. man wrongfully imprisoned to appeal CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Supreme Court of Canada has agreed to hear an appeal from a B.C. man who spent 27 years in prison for sexual assaults he did not commit and who

wants to sue the Crown for negligence. In 2011, Ivan Henry filed civil lawsuits against the provincial and federal attorneys general, the City of Vancouver and three members of its police department.

He sought damages for malicious prosecution, abuse of process, misfeasance in public office and an award for Charter damages for what he said were serious breaches of the Crownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obligations. Henry was convicted

Job website has major glitch CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The employment website Workopolis said it is working to fix a glitch that allows hundreds of outdated job postings to remain on the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online job bank. Peter Harris, a spokesman for Workopolis, said part of the problem is some employers have failed to notify the site when their jobs have been filled. Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job bank, meanwhile, features those Workopolis ads in addition to job postings from other private-sector sites and pro-

vincial government job listing services. The Conservative government has said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to employers to remove the postings, but Employment Minister Jason Kenney is also pointing the finger at Workopolis. The minister often cites the tens of thousands of jobs posted on the job bank â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there were more than 116,000 as of today â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the seven-million hits it receives each month as evidence of its rousing success. The job bank also plays a critical role in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embattled temporary foreignworkers program.

of 10 offences involving eight complainants in 1983 and was declared a dangerous offender. The B.C. Court of Appeal acquitted him of the offences in October 2010, after hearing the judge made several mistakes during his trial.

Government announces conservation strategy CANADIAN PRESS

NEW MARYLAND, N.B. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Prime Minister Stephen Harper has announced a national conservation plan intended to conserve and restore lands and waters. The plan will allocate $252 million over the next five years for projects across the country. About $100 million of that will go to the Nature Conservancy of Canada to secure ecologically sensitive lands. Harper says the plan complements the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed 2020 biodiversity goals and targets. He made the announcement on Thursday, May 15, in the village of New Maryland, N.B., near Fredericton.

Orienteering By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

SHOULD HAVE known I was in trouble from the way she said it — something to the effect of, “Are you sure you don’t want someone to go with you?” Jackie Bonn, president of the Sage Orienteering and Rogaining Club, had a look on her face I should have picked up on, a blend of amusement and concern. I was unfazed, though, standing in front of her with my clean and shiny Nike shoes, my Lululemon track pants and a confused look on my face as I held a map and compass in my hands. She kept referring to me as “the reporter,” which should have been an indication I might be in over my head. “I’ll be fine!” I said, looking around at the 20 other people who showed up for the event on a chilly Sunday morning. After all, I’m an athlete, I thought. Doesn’t she know I just ran the 10K in the CFJC Boogie? I can do anything! I grabbed some tips on the whole orienteering thing from a few of the others milling

KTW staff reporter Adam Williams on his recent foray into the world of orienteering

ADAM WILLIAMS Williams’ WORD around the Kenna Cartwright Park parking lot — use the map and the compass, find the checkpoints, insert your little tracking button into the station to record your time and follow along to the finish line. One man described orienteering as “cunning running.” Great! I thought. It’s like a big Easter egg hunt! I rock at Easter egg hunts! (My eight-year-old cousins learned that lesson on the holiday in April. Though they had tears streaming down

their faces at the end, they knew my basketful of eggs just meant I was a superior talent. Better luck next year, kids.) Bonn sent me with another orienteer (yes, I already considered myself part of the family) to find the start line. Before I knew it, I was out on my own. I was orienteering! It sounded so exciting. I was doing the short map, a 2.3-kilometre course with eight checkpoints, which I was told should take between 30 and 45 minutes to complete. “I was a scout as a kid. I’ve been camping before. This is going to be a piece of cake,” I said to myself as I plugged my tracking button into the station labelled “Start.” I set off at a light jog en route to the first station, which the map and compass said was due north, about 250 metres away. I climbed a hill, ran around a corner and there, right in front of

me, was the first station, a white and orange marker to the left of the path. Piece of cake. It took me just j two minutes i and 43 seconds to find the first of eight stations. I imagined myself running into the parking lot a short while later to shocked looks from club members. I headed east, as the map indicated the next station was in that direction, and soon veered south into the trees to find the next marker. Maybe it was my growing ego, or the fact I learned how to use a compass all of 10 minutes before, but that’s when my expert orienteering skills began to unravel. “The next marker should be around this hill here, just a little bit farther,” I said aloud, my breath growing ragged as I climbed ever-steeper hills. “Yes, just by this tree here.” Wait. There isn’t supposed to be a power line over my head. Where did that thing come from? I kept walking and found myself on a path 300 metres past

where the checkpoint should have been. I backtracked and tried again. And again. And again. I ffell ll ddown, was assaulted by tree branches and was soon covered in mud from head to toe. My brand-new camera, which I had brought along to keep a visual record of my excursion, hung around my neck like a noose each time I fell. Along with my pride, the park claimed a new lens cap from me in those first few minutes. After what felt like an eternity, I saw another white and orange marker at the crest of a hill I’d walked by at least 10 times in my period of disorientation. I climbed up to it, ready to plug in my button and move on to a new area of the park, one that I might actually be able to find on the map. The number on the checkpoint was wrong. My frustration boiled over as I looked again at my map, not that it was doing me any good at this point. I had inadvertently stumbled on one of the other courses at Kenna that day and

stood there looking like a fool as other competitors ran by me. I backtracked and tried again. On what felt like lik my 15th 15 h attempt of the afternoon — because yes, it was now afternoon — I found the second station. I plugged in my tracking button and moved on to No. 3. It had taken me 43 minutes to find that second checkpoint. With my ego handily in check, I continued. After walking past it a few times, I found checkpoint No. 3 — 10 minutes. I moved on to checkpoints four, five and six and started to figure the whole thing out — apparently, checking the map regularly helps. Using the compass more than once every 20 minutes is also key. My times between stations improved, I felt less disoriented and, dare I say it, I was even having fun. Before I knew it, I was strolling into the parking lot, having just checked into stations seven (which some smart aleck put at the top of what felt like Mount Everest) and

eight. It was time learn l the outcome of my first experience orienteering. oriente Seventy-nine minm utes and 32 second seconds — so muchh for f impressing i all the competition. Despite walking in circles for nearly 40 minutes that day, along with the crushing realization I would have failed miserably as a contestant on the show Mantracker, orienteering was a hell of a lot of fun. I came out of the forest that Sunday, filthy from head to toe and sore, but with a giant smile on my face. I had done it! I found the eight markers! It was the joy of the Easter egg hunt all over again — without the crying children. As I got into my car, I thought about taking part in the next event — the Sage Stomp, this Victoria Day long weekend, on Saturday, May 17, and Sunday, May 18. After all, I’m practically an expert now. However, if my foray into orienteering is any indication, maybe taking a partner wouldn’t be such a bad idea next time.

Rodeo a way of life for James By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Laura James spent her childhood weekends in the backseat of the family truck, reading books and talking about rodeo with her sister. Her mom and dad would be up front as the family sped away from their ranch in Vanderhoof, on the road to the next stop on the B.C. rodeo circuit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cities such as Quesnel, Kispiox Valley or Williams Lake â&#x20AC;&#x201D; horse trailer in tow. Decades later, those memories are still vivid for James and her lifestyle is much the same. Now, the roles are reversed. James is in the front of the truck and her kids â&#x20AC;&#x201D; eight-yearold daughter Taylan and five-year-old son Turner â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are in the back as they travel to stops on the B.C. Little Britches Rodeo Association circuit. James still competes, too, though less often than she used to. This weekend, however, will be a big one for the Kamloops barrel racer, as she travels to the Lower Mainland to compete for the fourth time in the famed Cloverdale Rodeo, which runs from Friday, May 16, to Monday, May 19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we always have to expect it to

go well. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go there expecting it to go badly,â&#x20AC;? James told KTW. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was last minute that I found out about it, so I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made a whole bunch of runs on my good competition horse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little rusty, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get it together by Friday.â&#x20AC;? More than 100 years old, the event is one of the most popular destinations for cowboys and cowgirls across North America. In her first two trips to Cloverdale, James made the finals. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping she can do the same this year, with the possibility of winning more than $20,000 in prize money. Taylan and Turner will also be competing this weekend, in 100 Mile House. Family has always been a big part of rodeo for James. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a great [family sport], because you can do it all together,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, I love the competition and I guess seeing all my friends on the weekend, right? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially when you rodeo in B.C., you get quite close with the rodeo family because you all have to travel so much.â&#x20AC;? Her mother is a barrel racer and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long after James was born that she was following in

family footsteps. She practised during the week and competed on the weekends, a committed work ethic instilled by her father. All these years later, she still remembers having success as a child and the excitement that came with it. Years of practice and dedication culminated in an appearance at the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton in 2011, where she turned the barrels in front of about 15,000 fans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have lots of memories, even at home, of practising,â&#x20AC;? James said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad was always very big about [that] â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we had to practise and, if we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t practise, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to go that weekend.â&#x20AC;? The 34-year-old Vanderhoof product has to divide her time nowadays, balancing work, training colts and running a stock contracting company. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s putting her kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dreams ahead of

her own rodeo aspiration, too, competing only in the B.C. Rodeo Association events, rather than going pro, as in past. But, this weekend, the focus will again be on her as she mounts her competition horse, Stretch, and runs the barrels in Cloverdale, hoping to bring home some prize money. Though she still loves to compete, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the other parts of the sport â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the family and the animals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that have kept her racing all these years later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The horses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got colts at home and I love the training part and I do love the competition part, too,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to keep my kids in it. I think it teaches you responsibility. They have to care for the animals, my kids have chores to do and they help lots at our farm here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the way of life, I guess.â&#x20AC;?

NACAC championships to attract young talent By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

When it comes to track and field, Kamloops might never see better than the North American Central American Caribbean (NACAC) U23 Athletics Championships, according to organizers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very high-profile event, with athletes who are trying to get to [the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro],â&#x20AC;? said Bob Cowden, chairman of the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local organizing committee. The 2014 version of the biennial NACAC championships will be held in Kamloops â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at the Tournament Capital Centre, Hillside Stadium and the National Throws Centre â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from Aug. 8 to Aug. 10. Cowden, along with meet manager Judy

Armstrong, president of the Kamloops Track and Field Club, assured media of the meetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legitimacy at a press conference on Thursday, May 15. The event will predominantly feature 20-, 21- and 22-year-old athletes who are making the transition from junior to senior athletics. Many of them have Olympic aspirations. Countries in the NACAC zone include Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Cayman Islands, Costa Rica,

Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Montserrat, Netherland Antilles, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, the U.S. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The event is expected to attract about 400 competitors and 100 coaches and officials. While athletes will not be able to book their spots at Rio during the Kamloops event, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely at least a few of them will end up at the 2016 Games. Canadians have to qualify for the NACAC meet at the Canadian championships, which will be held from June 27 to June 29 in Moncton. Armstrong and

Cowden are hoping the likes of 19-year-old pole vaulter Shawnacy Barber, who jumped 5.71 metres in 2013 to claim the Canadian record, will attract fans to Hillside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be about the highest level weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get,â&#x20AC;? said Armstrong, noting there are about five Kamloops athletes with a chance of qualifying for the NACAC meet. To inquire about sponsorship and volunteering opportunities, email event manager Kaitlin Veillette at kaitlinveillette.nacac@gmail. com or call her at 250318-4046. The championships will feature 44 events, with the action getting underway each day at 4 p.m. and running to about 9 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the community to come out and see track and field at its best,â&#x20AC;? Cowden said.

Is your child between the ages 5-10? Are you looking for

something unique for your child to do for a week this summer? Looking to educate them while still letting them have some fun?! Does your child love to dance, sing, or act? Do they love the outdoors, games, crafts and playing with animals. If the answer is YES, then this is the day camp for your child this summer!

NFL spotlight shining on Johnny Football

NTIL HE shows he’s not up to the task, Johnny Manziel — a.k.a. Johnny Football — is still America’s newest football hero, no matter how shockingly low he went in the NFL draft. Every era has one, from Jim Thorpe to Red Grange to Johnny Unitas to Jim Brown to Joe Montana to Peyton Manning, someone has always stood above

BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW the rest, gathering all the girls, getting all the headlines and winning

all the trophies. This era’s ‘That Guy’ is Manziel, who was anointed as Johnny Football during a sensational two-year run at Texas A&M, where he led the Aggies to a pair of bowl victories, became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy, posted otherworldly statistics and seemed destined to supplant Manning as America’s No. 1 gridiron hero.

That he didn’t get selected until the 22nd pick, by Cleveland, in the May 8 draft of college players shouldn’t deter anyone. He has almost as many detractors for his size (5-foot-11) and off-field lifestyle — imagine, a college kid occasionally drinking, staying out late and making statements that indicate he’s infatuated with the image he sees in the mirror

every morning. But his character’s doppelganger, Joe Namath — you may have heard of him — had a pretty good career by balancing football, showgirls, nightlife and partying until it caught up to him. Manziel, say pro football’s cognoscenti, has all the tools to be an all-time great at the quarterback position. He has a rifle arm, amazing scrambling

Jubilation in Montreal streets CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — With the Boston Bruins eliminated in a Game 7 nail-biter, Montreal Canadiens’ fans wasted little time in turning their attention to the team’s next opponent: the New York Rangers. Fans were jubilant Wednesday (May 14) night, jamming into the downtown core to celebrate their hockey heroes moving a step closer to their first Stanley Cup in 21 years.

The peaceful denouement was in stark contrast to the scene in 2010 after fans at the Bell Centre watched the Canadiens eliminate the Penguins in a game played in Pittsburgh. Habs’ fan Pardeep Mann watched the celebration from a Ste-Catherine Street sidewalk. “It unites everyone,’’ he said. Game 1 of the Montreal-New York series gets underway at 10 a.m. at the Bell Centre on Saturday, May 17.

He didn’t go No. 1 to Houston because the Texans had greater needs on the defensive side of the ball. But, when he was continually passed over — Twitter officially changed his name from Johnny Football to Johnny Passedover for a couple of hours — it

was the show-within-ashow at the draft. Finally, when the Browns chose him, the entire state went giddy.

Trawin: Zero per cent tax hikes are expensive By Jessica Klymchuk STAFF REPORTER

jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com

Although a zero per cent tax increase sounds positive, many municipalities are sacrificing their future to do so. So said City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin as he addressed members of the Canadian Home Builders’ AssociationCentral Interior (CHBACI) on Wednesday, May 15. “Municipalities that have a zero per cent tax increase are sometimes selling their future for a quick and easy gain in the present and I don’t believe that is the way to go,” he said. Trawin suggested municipalities are achieving a zero per cent tax increase by borrowing, depleting their reserves and producing their capital reinvestment in their assets. He noted Kamloops

has a $152-million operating budget, with 51.3 per cent coming from real property taxes. Of the $93 million in capital, property taxes represent 52.6 per cent. Trawin noted the provincial property-tax average on a standard house in 2013 was $2,903. In Kamloops, it is was $2,717. He noted 2012’s citizen-satisfaction survey on balancing taxationservice delivery levels indicated 53 per cent of respondents were in favour of increasing taxes to enhance, expand or maintain services, while 34 per cent favoured cutting services to maintain or reduce taxes. However, fewer people are in favour of increasing or maintaining taxes, as a 2003 survey found 60 per cent of respondents in favour. “There is that time where council will have

to be aware it will be in the other direction, where other sources of revenue are going to become more important,” Trawin said. Although many communities resort to cutting city staff, Trawin called it the “easy way out,” arguing cutting staff leads to inefficient operations across the board. For the CHBA-CI, he said, this would be

reflected in buildingpermit processing times. Trawin notd an organizational audit showed staff levels at the City of Kamloops were 8.6 per cent higher than other communities, but operating costs were 9.5 per cent lower. “I don’t care if I have more staff,” he said. “If we can get it done cheaper, we’re going to get it done cheaper.” “I think our future

isn’t bad. It’s not perfect. I think we’ve still got a long ways to go and, hopefully, I can help move that way.”

CHBA-CI takes no stance on Ajax

Association president Matt McCurrach said the group’s board voted unanimously to abstain from taking a stance on the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south

of Aberdeen. Minutes from the association’s April 9 meeting indicate a question-and0answer period led to a discussion that prompted a request for members to raise their hand if they were in support of KGHM’s proposed mine. McCurrach said the board felt the CHBACI is too diverse of an organization to take an official stance on the mine and would “take a step back” from the debate.

Association honours many

The CHBA-CI honoured its members with its first annual Awards of Excellence, Milestone Awards and Lifetime Community Builder Awards.

Lifetime Community Builder Awards were presented to Ken Moffat, Peter McCurrach, Ken Moffett and Ben Nielson, in partnership with the City of Kamloops, for their long-term dedication in helping develop Kamloops for more than 40 years. Awards of excellence honouring dedication and service to the association, among other honours, were given to Jason Gagnon of Greenvale Construction, Sam Dabner of Fulton and Company LLP, Doug Wittal of DW Builders and Curtis Schlosser of Granite Homes Inc. Awards were also given to all members who have been with the association for years.

He said when an angel misses you They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny when you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angels tossed to you.

GENEVIEVE ARDEN MCLAUGHLIN (née VENABLES) Our beautiful Mother (and Abba) passed away suddenly on May 10, 2014. Predeceased by Robert, her husband of 55 years, and her youngest son Kim, she leaves an enormous void in the lives of her children Patrick (Charlotte), Michael (Rhonda), Rob (Kathy), and Heather (David), her 11 grandchildren and her surviving siblings Caroline Walker (Lorne) and Barry Venables (Melinda). Arden grew up in a large loving family on an orchard in Oliver BC. As a teen she was voted May Queen of the Okanagan. She initially attended nursing school in Kamloops before she became a highly respected and much-loved elementary school teacher. She knew just how to meet the needs and bring out the best in each of her students, signicantly impacting numerous youngsters in the Kamloops district. In 1988 she and Bob retired to her beloved West Vancouver where she became an active member of several bridge, scrabble and book clubs as well as meditation and enlightenment groups. She maintained a spectacular garden and a vigorous nutrition and tness regime. This, while quietly volunteering for many local organizations. Earlier this spring Arden was awarded her 25-year volunteer service pin from the West Van Seniors Center. No doubt by the time you read this, she has already played three hands of bridge, organized a book club and is on her way to an aqua-size class in Heaven.

JOHN DELBERT ROSE Our cowboy is now riding the big range in the sky! July 7, 1926 – May 8, 2014 John passed away peacefully on May 8, 2014 at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice after a valiant fight due to complications following surgery. Our Cowboy, John found great joy in the simple pleasures in life. He was a great father he loved family functions, especially his fishing trips to the ocean with his son and daughter’s families. John was an avid bowler and spent the last couple of years on the Red, Wii bowling team at the Shores Retirement home. His daughter-in-law Debra described him as a fantastic father-in- law and friend, a true gentle, gentleman. John loved to garden, he loved everything cowboy and beer. To John going for a beer was an opportunity to visit but he loved the beer he brewed at BA Brewmasters and the very special people there that assisted him over the years. Dad met our mother Margaret in the Cariboo where they married and began their life together. They raised their children in Kamloops BC living in both Mission Flats and Westsyde. In the early 1950’s Dad began his career at the mill down the road then known as BC Interior Sawmill, 25 years later he retired from his position as forklift operator for Weyerhaeuser. Dad moved briefly to Chase BC where he operated a small farm with his new wife Donna (Waller). Both Dad and Donna enjoyed their years in Chase. Dad moved back to Kamloops shortly after Donna tragically passed away. John was a cherished brother to his sisters and their families. He was a beloved father to Jim (Debra), Allene (Donald), predeceased by Bernice (Robert), Darrel, Wendy (Peter) and Margaret (Jim). A cherished grandfather to Jamie, Jordan, Sheri-Dawn (Alex), Johnny, Vernon (Sherry), Brandon (Tammy), Tammy (Andy), Justin, Mathew, Joshua (Rachel), Travis (Jennifer) and Jesse.

Ours was a wise Mom, lled with enormous determination and an insatiable thirst for learning. She excelled at so many things. Yet she was also a pillar of strength for all who needed her. She distilled a positive philosophy incorporating cheery encouragement, sensitivity, startlingly accurate insight and down to earth common sense.

A very special great-grandfather to Kiaira-Marie, Josh, James, Trevor, Maddison, Bryce, Isabelle, Brooklynn, Jeremy, Orion, Hannah, Trysten, Wyatt, Emily Rose, Eli and Oliver.

Caring, kind, exceptionally giving, Arden lived to LOVE HER FAMILY. She cherished her children, their spouses, the “grans” and her many nieces and nephews. In her warmth we ourished. Her love was limitless, her wisdom profound, her joy of life an inspiration!

On May the 24 at 1 pm, please join John’s family to raise a glass in his honor at an informal gathering of family and friends. Anavets (Army, Navy & Air Force Vets – Canada) #209 – 444 Tranquille Rd., Kamloops BC.

At her request there will be no funeral or memorial service although she would probably smile upon any who donate to the West Vancouver Library Foundation. If you knew Arden - be grateful and plant something in your garden.

John leaves behind his beloved, loyal and faithful dog “Scruffy”. John was predeceased by his parents, brother, sister, son Rory and daughter Bernice.

At this time our family would like to express their sincere appreciation to Dr. Howie and the wonderful staff at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice House for their amazing care and support while Dad was a patient. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice.

Beattie and the chocolate factory Musical-theatre students to perform Willy Wonka live, May 21 and May 22 By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

H, THE decisions to be made. Should Alex Ward shave off his fledgling beard? Is it better to leave it and let it grow? What would best suit Grandpa Joe as he enters the strange world of Willy Wonka, a journey made possibly by grandson Charlie’s good fortune? The final decision was rendered by the group of musicaltheatre students at Beattie School of the Arts — the beard stays because it makes him look scruffy. Alex almost looks relieved. The students are front-and-centre for the school’s production of Wonka-The Musical, which opens on Tuesday, May 20 and continues to Thursday, May 22, at the Ninth Avenue secondary campus. Sam Bregoliss, who has done the lighting and is stage manager, said it’s the famous Roald Dahl story set to music, with a couple of big dance numbers. There are 17 others in the cast, all senior students, and they’ve built the props (after designing them), created the sets, decided on the costumes and, with the help of dance teacher Alexis Brown, did the choreography. The two-act play tells the story most

school children have read at one time or another; Charlie Bucket (Angela Ippolito) lives in poverty, but wins one of five golden tickets into the factory of the mysterious Willy Wonka (Fraser Griffith). Once there, Charlie and Grandpa Joe meet Augustus Gloop (Natalia Page), Veruca Salt (Alyssa Tisdale), Violet Beauregarde (Katjana Johnson) and Mike Teavee (Jesse Biddlecombe). Along the tour, the group meets the Oompa-Loompas and, one by one, most of the children disappear, victims of their own greed. Teacher Briar Beers said she chose several possible plays for the class and let them decide.

Willy won handsdown. She said it’s a great play for the group because of the music, the dance, the humour and the script itself. “The grandparents have some really funny lines,” she said. Sam said putting together the sets and costumes wasn’t a major chore since the school keeps all of its props and costumes from previous years. Pandora’s Costume Box has also been called into duty. The play is about two hours with a 15-minute intermission and will be staged in the school’s black-box theatre at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available at the school office and, if any are left, at the door.

LAWN MOWER REPAIRS

Comedy drama to finish Final concert to feature blues trio season for local troupe Any Given Monday, an acclaimed off-Broadway play by Bruce Graham, will be presented by the Kamloops Players to end the season. The comedy-drama deals with four people facing a crisis. Lenny, played by Laurel Brewer, watches as his wife Risa (Cherie Poelzer) leaves him after 24 years of marriage. Lenny’s best friend Mick (Jason Mynett) arrives ostensibly to watch football — but with another plan in mind to save the marriage. Lenny’s daughter Sarah, a college student, shows up and agrees with Mick’s plan because she sees it as fodder for her philosophy thesis. It’s an ongoing debate about right and wrong and how to compromise. Because the play is set in a living room, the Stage House venue at 422 Tranquille Rd. will be set up with couches, chairs and coffee tables to create a stay-at-home-and-watch-the-NFL-on-TV atmosphere. There will be a barbecue-style tailgate party at the theatre before the opening-night performance on May 30. The play continues on May 31, June 8 and June 9. It is directed by Tammi Rose, produced by Jessie Thomas, with set and light design by Mynett and Lori Dewart handling the job of stage manager. Tickets are $18 and are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250374-5483 or online at kamloopslive.ca. The play contains strong language and is not suitable for young people.

Its true Cancer kills, but you might be surprised to find out the Chemotherapy kills more people than cancer it’s self. Several Studies indicate chemo kills 75% of today’s patients; ten years ago it was 97%. What’s more alarming is that there are dozens of treatments that have been proven to kill cancer and other horrible debilitating diseases yet are illegal. Doctors can lose their license for even mentioning any other treatments other than government pre approved; yet dozens of natural cures are demonized; things as simple as vitamin C injections, or baking soda and other natural alkalizing supplements, or food grade hydrogen peroxide, even marihuana is healing people on their death beds. Unfortunately the corporations cannot patent a natural cure, so they can’t make money off them, so they lobby government to keep alternative treatments out of the public system. Terry Fox would not be proud of what the cancer society and government is doing with his legacy, a legacy he started to raise awareness and gave his life for. Terry hated corporations and the marketing BS, he saw what was going on even back in his day, and he despised it. Yet the very same corporations have high jacked his legacy and made him their corporate poster child, indeed billions raised in Terry’s name in vain. Terry didn’t have to die; neither do thousands of other people with cancer; its but for two reasons; refusal to look at the causes of industrial diseases, and the refusal to allow natural remedies to be acknowledged. Regardless of billions and trillions raised, cancer rates have doubled, and even tripled since Terry died, yet they blame cigarettes even though smoking has dramatically decreased to a point it’s practically extinct. What has increased in the industrial revolution of pollution for profit. outside of the box government puts us in to look at the facts; Fact is cancer is a fungus that thrives in an acidic environment, though cancer and most other debilitating diseases cannot survive in an alkaline environment. [have you checked your PH?] As a result of the corporate world industrial diseases caused by unnatural fossil fuel/mining industry acidifying our environment; even the oceans are dying from acidification. Do you really need a PhD to see simple truth? Corporations don’t want cures; they only want to treat symptoms so that you keep needing expensive pills and hospital drills to keep you alive just long enough to fill you full of expensive corporate cures. Corporate cures are cures that are not natural and do more damage than good, curing a small percentage of patients while putting people though hell. Chemo destroys the immune system so that patients can’t fend off common viruses, people end up dying from the common cold. Self evidence; ask yourself why “they” never look for the cause of diseases, instead billions, perhaps trillions given to corporations focused only on finding corporate cures, cures that can be patented and sold like good beef; most can’t afford it. Has any gov or corporate body ever considered looking into why and what is the cause of the epidemic of industrial diseases plaguing society; each year more and more people are getting sick with cancer, ALS, MS and a whole host of similar diseases. The simple answer is no, they will NEVER look for a cause, for if the cause is found in a court of law, then that would mean the ones polluting the air water food and land would be open to a law suit that would bankrupt them in a heartbeat. So in the interest of corporate greed and the evil agenda of profit, government and corporations looks the other way. Meanwhile cancer and every other disease keeps climbing at a shocking rate as Government and corporations are ABOVE THE LAW. By sovereign Brian-Arthur more information @ sovereignsolidarity.com

Say hello to Borneo’s shy Dutchman By Margaret Deefholts

TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES travelwriterstales.com

HE DUG-OUT CANOE wobbles, and I instinctively grab onto the sides. Then the outboard motor catches and settles to a low purr and the canoe steadies as it moves forward through the thick, muddy waters of the Kinabatangan river. The late afternoon sun’s rays filter through the jungle around us, as we search for a creature I’ve flown half way around the globe to see. He is elusive and shy — and so rare that only about 7,000 of his species still exist — and Kinbatangan Forest Reserve in east Sabah is one of the last places on earth to see him. He is no beauty, and the Malaysians have nicknamed him Monyet Belanda or “Dutchman monkey” — the joke being that like the previous colonial occupants of Borneo, he is ginger haired, has a large nose and a pot belly. He is the Proboscis Monkey, inhabitant of the mangrove jungles of Borneo. Along a narrow tributary off the main river the jungle is alive with bird warbles and the rustle of undergrowth as tribes of longtailed macaques forage for their evening meal. The boatman slows to a crawl, and pulls up to an overhanging branch. Blending almost completely with a broad flat leaf, is a coiled green deadly poisonous wrangler pit viper. Just ahead of our prow, a stork-billed kingfisher in a dazzle of blue wings dives into the river

and emerges with dinner in his bright red beak. “That was lucky,” my guide Al says. “We don’t often see one of those here.” More frequently encountered is the Oriental darter, an ungainly, long-necked cormorant, who surveys us meditatively and then returns to preening his feathers. But, there is still no sign of the resident with the Jimmy Durante schnozzle. I’m beginning to despair of finding the reclusive simian, when our boatman suddenly veers away to the opposite shore, pointing urgently at the tree tops. And there he is — my funny-faced friend. He is a big guy, with a red snoot, so pendulous that it covers his mouth, and a belly that looks as though he’s been tippling beer by the gallon. As I raise my binoculars, he is busy surveying his coterie of females spread out on nearby branches. Unlike the males, their noses are smaller and slightly uptilted. Big daddy scratches his armpit and turns to look speculatively at us, through small beady eyes. I’m enchanted. His dark red fur sits like a cap on

IF YOU GO GETTING THERE: Malaysia Airlines connects Sandakan (on the East Coast of Borneo) to Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur, and other Malaysian and international destinations. The airline has a well-deserved reputation for efficient service, superb cuisine and a tradition of warm hospitality. For more information, visit their web site at: malaysiaairlines.com. The drive from Sandakan

to the village of Sukau on the Kinabatangan River takes approximately two-and-a-half hours, and is partly along a rough gravel road winding through dense jungle, past small rural settlements and thousands of acres of coconut oil plantations. WHERE TO STAY: Abai Jungle Lodge in Sukau offers excellent accommodation. See S.I. (Special Interest) Tours at sitoursborneo.com/ borneo/abai-jungle-lodges

zoologists, it is his droopy cucumber–shaped schnozz (the bigger the better) which singles him out as a highly desirable catch. So, judging from the size of his harem — I lost count after identifying nine females — our guy is one heck of a sexy dude.

his head, and blends into an orange cape over his shoulders and back, while his arms and legs look as though he is wearing grey gloves and leggings. He is so bizarre as to be utterly beautiful. And, evidently that’s what his wives think too — according to

I lower my binoculars, as we head back to the Abai Forest Lodge, the river now reflecting a dramatic sunset sky. It’s been an unforgettable experience, and one that makes me acutely aware of the fact that these unique primates, even more than the Borneo orangutan, are struggling for survival. Unlike orangutans who bond readily with humans, proboscis monkeys can’t be reared in captivity; they are reclusive animals who pine for their natural mangrove swamps and literally starve themselves to death within a matter of days. Also, because of their finicky digestive systems (they have more than one stomach, hence the size of their paunches) they are confined to a specialized diet of leaves, fruit seeds and flowers exclusive to Borneo’s

low-lying wetlands. In earlier decades, much of these marshes were cleared and filled to make way for oil palm plantations, a lucrative cash crop in eastern Borneo. Consequently, these animals were in danger of being pushed to the edge of extinction. To their credit, the Malaysian Wildlife Conservation Agency in Sabah has now established several wilderness parks in the Danum Valley, the Kinabatangan floodplain and the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve to protect the Proboscis monkey and his kin. Even more heartening is the news that Tourism Malaysia has adopted the shy simian Dutchman as their mascot. He is, after all, one of the country’s most precious treasures.

CAREERS

Health Minister salutes province’s nurses Editor’s note: It’s National Nursing Week and, in recognition of it, Health Minister Terry Lake issued the following statement. Nurses are important, highly skilled members of health-care teams throughout the province and I want to acknowledge their hard work and dedication this week. The theme of National Nursing Week 2014 is “Nursing: A Leading Force for Change” and nurses in B.C. are at the forefront when it comes to innovation. For example, registered nurses, registered psychiatric nurses and nurse practitioners play an integral role on two new assertive community-treatment teams, which provide community treatment and rehabilitation for clients in Vancouver struggling with mental illness and

who may also have severe substance use addictions. The team provides long-term 24/7 healthcare and life-skills supports, job-training, assistance with finding independent housing, social-interaction counselling and maintaining

physical and mental wellness. The Kla-How-Eya Healing Place in Surrey opened its doors last fall to provide culturally safe and holistic primary health-care services for urban Aboriginal clients. A nurse practitioner

works collaboratively on-site with other health professionals to meet the health-care needs of Aboriginal people who don’t have access to a regular family physician. The clinic is a great example of how the nurse practitioner for

Memories

B.C. program is benefiting communities around the province. This program provides funding for 135 new nurse practitioners over three fiscal years. We have placed 87 additional nurse practitioners so far. In coming months, we’ll place the third round of nurse practitioners, as we finalize these opportunities with the health authorities for communities throughout the province. Licensed practical nurses also are taking on roles in B.C. communities as nursing liaisons and playing key roles in residential care, dialysis and perioperative nursing. Our government recognizes the vital contribution nurses make to health care in British Columbia, meeting a variety of needs in a wide range of settings. In fact, nurses are

often the first point of contact for many seeking assistance. During National Nursing Week, I offer my thanks to all nurses, whether they are registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, registered psychiatric nurses or nurse practitioners —

for the great work they do and remind British Columbians about the importance of these dedicated professionals. Terry Lake is the province’s health minister and MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
