THIS WEEK

Three sites in play for new arts centre By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops teachers Terri Hansen (left), Sandy Blacquiere, Sandra Yeast and Katrina Shantz get their message out to motorists as they stand on the Tranquille Road overpass on the north side of Overlanders Bridge on Thursday, July 17, during a Kamloops teachers’ rally to remind the public of the labour dispute.

September strike won’t be stopped By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

tfletcher@blackpress.ca

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation had better not expect an imposed settlement to keep the beginning of the school year from being disrupted, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said this week. Every other sector of the public service has been able to find agreements within the government’s balanced budget mandate, but the teachers’ union might

be expecting a legislated settlement as has taken place in the past, de Jong said as he presented the public accounts that show B.C.’s budget balanced as of this spring. “You cannot send negotiators into a bargaining session with other public-sector workers, hammer out agreements that include very modest settlements and then because another group decides to make a little more noise, provide more, because you are taking from one group

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the BCTF has to reduce its demands, in particular improved benefits he said represent an additional $225 million a year. Those include increases to preparation time, pregnancy and parental leave, extended health and dental care and substitute-teacher compensation. De Jong said the lesson of imposing settlements is that they haven’t worked.

in order to satisfy the demands of another within the context of a balanced budget,” de Jong said. The BCTF strike for the last two weeks of June saved the provincial treasury about $12 million a day, while yearend studies and exams were disrupted. The two sides haven’t communicated since early July, when B.C. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher said they are too far apart for mediation to be effective.

Kamloops is another step closer to choosing a location for a performing-arts centre, but the consultant who will guide the process will have three locations to pick from instead of the expected two. Thompson Rivers University’s Community Trust board threw the school into the mix last month in a letter to mayor and council. Frank Quinn, chairman of the TRU Community Trust board, said a performing-arts centre fits with the trust’s mission to improve life on campus with an array of shopping, dining and entertainment options. While still on the South Shore, TRU is the only location outside the downtown still in the mix. The city abandoned plans to investigate the North Shore’s Henry Grube Education Centre as a location when the school district said it was not prepared to sell the site. Quinn said there are some perks to a university-located performingarts centre. “It would have the ability to be used by the university as well as a performing arts centre, so it might help reduce the cost for the city with more of a shared use,” he said. “It has good easy ingress and egress. It’s easy to drive to and easy to take the bus to. “And some of the capital costs may be reduced in some sort of a joint-venture approach.” But, Quinn added, the board isn’t sure if the university is a better choice than Hotel 540 on Victoria

Street or the former Kamloops Daily News building on Seymour Street, which are also in the running. “We just want to be part of the consultant’s review to see if it’s appropriate at the university,” Quinn said. The city posted its request for proposals for a performing-arts consultant last week and makes mention of the TRU Community Trust request in the document. But, the request for proposals also sets out some priorities for site selection that could work against TRU when compared to the downtown sites. In particular, it requires the sites to be evaluated based on public feedback from an open house in 2013, when participants said they want the centre to be close to hotels, restaurants and other cultural activities. The consultant will also have to consult with arts groups in the city to determine how much space and what features are required in the building, develop a business case for the centre and draft schematics and a preliminary budget. According to the request for proposals, to be considered, consulting firms must have worked on at least two arts centres that were successfully built in the last 10 years. The request for proposals closes on Aug. 11, with a successful consultant to begin work in late September. The city has $260,000 set aside for the initial studies on the centre, but has no budget as of yet for construction of a new facility.

It’s tradition – and the only way to live happily ever after. Or is it? Full of comedy, sword-fighting, and an amazing 9-foot tall dragon, THE LAST OF THE DRAGONS is an epic tale of being true to oneself and creating your own destiny. X Fest 2014 runs in Prince Charles Park from July 23rd – August 9th, Monday to Saturday at 7:30 pm. Special 3:30 pm matinee performances will be held August 2nd, 8th, and 9th.

LOVE THAT OPEN ROAD There’s nothing quite like riding a motorcycle in the Kamloops area, exploring the diverse landscape. About four years ago I began riding motorcycles again. Yes, I get teased that I’m trying to relive my youth, and maybe I am. But what I’ve learned now that I’m older, and hopefully wiser, is that it can be dangerous on our roads no matter how careful we may be. Motorcycles are simply smaller and are not as easy to see as other vehicles. Hopefully, if you practice the skills outlined in the ‘Learn To Ride Smart’ manual you will stay safe. Better yet, take a motorcycle training course.

Finally — the end is in sight By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Motorists who have endured long stretches of slow driving on downtown streets will be pleased to learn construction in front of Kamloops City Hall is nearly ready to wrap up. Within the next 10 days, said public works director Jen Fretz, the intersection of First Avenue, Victoria Street and Lansdowne

Street will be completely realigned, with all construction finished by the end of July. Landscaping work in the area will continue into August, however. Fretz said the worst obstructions of traffic should be over, though drivers could still face some delays. “We’re nearing the end, so the major pain should be over at this point,” she said.

“When they change out the intersection, there’s going to be no control, so they’ll have to go through flagging and everything. “So, will it be seamless? No. Will it be less painful? Yes.” Once the project is complete, drivers will be able to drive directly into Riverside Park from First Avenue and there will be more green space in front of city hall.

INJURED IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT? WE CAN HELP

Must one attend a meeting to attend a meeting? Kamloops’ councillors and committee members may soon have the option of calling in to meetings when they’re out of town — as long as they are still required to show up in person most of the time. The move was prompted by the Kamloops heritage commission, which was nearly merged with the city’s arts commission earlier this year due to poor attendance. Heritage commission liaison Coun. Donovan Cavers said the group has many members who travel for several months at a time and who want the option of getting a quorum via electronic means. But, if the city chooses to allow one committee to teleconference, it has to allow it at all meetings, including those of council, according to

corporate officer Cindy Kennedy. Mayor Peter Milobar said while there’s nothing wrong with phoning in for the occasional meeting, he doesn’t want to see the city put in a position where it could face the sort of issues Campbell River is confronting. In that city, a councillor is serving out the remainder of his term via Skype after moving to Alberta in June. Coun. Pat Wallace agreed, saying she doesn’t want teleconferencing to allow people who aren’t committed to the job to apply for committees. “If you’re away for six months, why would you even want to be on a committee?” she asked. Council asked staff to investigate the issue and bring back a report at a later date.

PUTTING A FACE TO THE NAME

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Kirk Bissat attended a two-day conference at the Henry Grube Education Centre, he realized something was missing. The North Shore building didn’t have a photograph of the longtime school-board trustee for whom it is named. Intrigued, the teacher’s aide at the Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism headed to the Kamloops Museum and Archives and found some old newspaper clippings, but no original photographs of the Danish-born Canadian who moved to Chase in the mid1950s, becoming a pillar of the community. Next stop, the KamloopsThompson school district office on Ninth Avenue, where everyone knew of Grube — but, again, no photographs. Bissat was advised to contact Grube’s daughter, Anne, who dropped of a collection of photos of her dad for Bissat to peruse. He finally chose one that shows Grube, a recipient of the Order of Canada in 1978, in an informal, happy pose. While Grube was never a teacher, education was a priority for him. His grandson, Kamloops Coun. Donovan Cavers, who was young when Grube died in 1983, said even today, people will tell him “that grandpa was

a man with great integrity.” When the school district balked at buying one of those relative newfangled things called a computer for one of its schools, Grube went out and got it, Donovan said. “And, originally, the school board was going to name the Chase school Grube secondary, but grandpa didn’t want that,” Donovan said. “He was afraid the students there would be called Grubs or Grubies.” Brother Tristan Cavers added to the anecdote. “It’s a funny story. We’ve got this plaque that he was given when the board wanted to name a school in Chase after him. And he said, no, there is no school in Chase named after Chase, so he insisted they name it Chase secondary. And he was worried about what the students would be called if it was named after him, too.” Green space near Chase schools — elementary and secondary — and the site of the town’s arena are also legacies of his grandfather, Tristan said. His grandfather wanted to ensure there would be parkland available near the schools in the community, but didn’t see any will by its council to deal with that issue. “So, he bought it and he held onto it and, when the schools were built, he sold it back to Chase for what it cost him,” Tristan said.

There is nothing at any of those sites, however, recognizing Grube’s actions. His community concern went beyond his own hometown, Tristan said. When Grube was first elected as a trustee, the position did not come with pay. When a stipend was later approved, Grube put the money in a separate account. “He used it for things like the computer for a school and some football gear for a school,” Tristan said. “He used that money for the students.” Grube’s legacy is included in The Town Called Chase, with a chapter devoted to him. “One of the things he used to say was, ‘If you think you’re doing too much, you’re probably just doing your part,” Tristan said. For Bissat, his quest to have a photo hung in the Kitchener Crescent building has been its own educational experience. “I knew nothing about him before this,” Bissat said. But, he learned about Grube from family members, including his grandfather, who knew Grube. The archives provided additional information. “He did a lot and he should be recognized. I know he didn’t want any buildings named for him or anything like that but, if he was looking down now, I think he’d be stoked.”

Two now seeking Grit nomination Niki Remesz joins Steve Powrie in bid to carry Liberal flag By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops business and marketing consultant with extensive volunteer experience is seeking the nomination of the federal Liberal party. Niki Remesz told KTW she has filed paperwork with the party and has been active selling memberships before a nomination meeting expected in late August or early September. She chairs Thompson Rivers Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alumni association and has been on the board since 2009. Remesz is also a past

co-ordinator of Theatre B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mainstage in Kamloops and volunteers as an usher with Western Canada Theatre Company. She and husband, Steve, a high-school teacher, have an 11-yearold son and have lived in Kamloops since 1995. Remesz joined the Liberal party recently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Liberal is where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always identified,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find life is not black and white. Small changes make big differences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in it to have a greater impact on the city â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where I already do lots of volunteer work.â&#x20AC;?

NIKI REMESZ: Has already started selling memberships.

Remesz declined to say how long she has been active selling memberships prior to the nomination meeting. She has a head start on Steve Powrie, a Kamloops elementaryschool teacher who earlier this week made the

decision to run for the Liberal nomination. A party official expects three or four people to contest the nomination, in part based on the excitement brought by Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau. Remesz said she was inspired by her own convictions and ideas to run, but believes Trudeau is a natural leader who will garner support in nontraditional areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like that he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build a calculated facade â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what you see is what you get.â&#x20AC;? She said the Stephen Harper government is not representing

Canadians as a whole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in government today doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the majority of us happy,â&#x20AC;? Remesz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadians need to be heard and Canadian values need to take the forefront.â&#x20AC;? Incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod has been acclaimed and will defend her seat for the Conservatives, while Kamloops lawyer Bill Sundhu is seeking the NDP nomination. No word on whether the Greens have anybody interested in seeking the nomination.

Swap leads to sexual-assault crime STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A 20-year-old man who entered into a deal with a buddy to swap girlfriends has pleaded guilty to sexual assault and will serve a year in jail. Provincial court judge Stella Frame said on Thursday, July 17, that, while â&#x20AC;&#x153;there may have been an understanding,â&#x20AC;? the guilty man did not obtain consent before having unprotected sex with the woman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It remains always the responsibility of people to ensure what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing has the consent of both parties,â&#x20AC;? Frame said. The man, sentenced to one year in jail and 18 months probation, cannot be named due to a court order protecting the identity of the victim. Crown prosecutor Chris Balison said the incident occurred in August 2013 when the two were alone in a home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He began to hit on her and said he wanted to get with her,â&#x20AC;? Balison said.

The man then pinned and sexually assaulted the woman. She did not leave the home, however. He again tried to have sex with her, ripping her pants in the process. But, Balison said, he stopped when she slapped him in the face, causing his nose to bleed. She remained in the home, playing video games with the man. Defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen noted the complaint occurred after the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend came to the home and realized what happened. But, Jensen said, his client is remorseful and wanted to own up to his actions. He intends to enter trade school when he leaves jail, where he is working toward his Grade 12 diploma. He will be listed for 10 years in the federal sex-offender registry. Frame said there are reasons often heard in sex assault trials as to why the woman would not immediately leave after an assault, including guilt, shame â&#x20AC;&#x153;and even resignation.â&#x20AC;?

Drinking up some games? Make sure they are safe

WONDERED IF IT WOULD be the next Neknomination. I had been sitting on the patio at a local restaurant when I overheard talk of a new drinking game that two youngsters had recently tried for the first time. “Better than Flip Cup” and “better than Beer Pong” — it was the best drinking game among any they had played, the two agreed. They called it Rage Cage. Rage Cage? It sounded slightly intimidating. What shenanigans were going on this time? No one is interested in a new version of Neknomination, the notorious worldwide online drinking game that dangerously escalated. Some people downed urine, many were injured and all posted the drunken chaos online for the entire world to see. I listened to the pair, slightly worried, until they mentioned familiar drinking buddies. They go by the names of Red Solo Cups and ping pong balls. Rage Cage, they explained, goes a little something like this: Place a mass amount of cups in the middle of a table. Fill each one with a bit of alcohol and fill the middle cup. Have people stand around said alcohol-filled cups. Two players on either side of the table each bounce a ping pong ball until they sink a specified cup. From there, pass the cup and your turn. In the meantime, if you sink it into the wrong cup, drink the contents and try again.

GAP

Race around the table in a relay trying to catch up with whomever is playing in front of you. Sink the large cup and — bottoms up. There are some other minor details and side-rules, but that’s mostly it. I was waiting for the part about drinking pee, but there was not a single potty reference. They made no mention of stripping in public, vandalism nor mixing booze with dead animals. It was a far cry from Neknomination, which is said to have even killed some people. Having now tried Rage Cage, I didn’t enjoy the variety of concoctions that comes with the collaborative filling of 30-plus cups. I wouldn’t say it beats out Flip Cup, either. But, all in all — it was a blast. I can imagine the impending flack from making a case for drinking games but, like anything, they are OK when done right. They can kickstart a night out, spice up a party, break the ice or pro-

vide a Plan B to a host when rained out of a barbecue. I’ve played them with parents. Heck, I’ve played them with bosses. If you’re responsible about it, they’re no less harmful than having drinks during a poker match. Whether you agree or not — they’re popular and they’re happening. So, should you expect to hear about another Neknominationdisaster in the headlines any time soon? One of the first that comes up a few clicks after googling “drinking games” is called Wheat Bread. It’s listed on a Tumbler account designated to drinking games with the mantra, in part, “2 bloggers traveling the world and posting the games we play.” It is described simply as — and I quote: “You eat a loaf of bread and then drink til you drop.” The game sounds like a full stomach carbo load and some weird dreams, nothing more. I found some other notable games. There were classics like Power Hour and Sociables. There were novelty ones like Castle Pong: The Pregame of Throws based on Game of Thrones. A few ping pong balls into a cup among buddies is harmless, unlike combining worldwide peer pressure with deadly dares. Neknomination got out of hand, but the newest Rage is no repeat. jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

There’s reason to butt in on contraband The proliferation of contraband tobacco in Canada is nothing new, but it’s often an overlooked crime in the public realm. It’s no surprise to smokers, but tax revenue on legally purchased cigarettes has been steadily rising for the past few decades, with an average pack now costing $10. Advocates like the B.C. chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society say the increased cost is a win-win, as it boosts government revenue while getting more people to quit the destructive habit because of prohibitive cost. Kathryn Seely, the non-profit organization’s chief advocate for healthy public policies, told the Vancouver Sun in 2013 that higher prices can be particularly effective in quashing youth smoking. “The youth who are price sensitive — it can cause them to not take up the habit,” Seely said. Yet, it appears more people are finding alternative ways to satisfy their nicotine habit by avoiding government gatekeeping altogether. An analysis of hundreds of cigarette butts at three sites in Kamloops found more than 25 per cent were contraband, or illegal products. Finding a thrifty supplier seems to be the easy part, according to Andrew Klukas, president of the Western Convenience Stores Association, who conducted the analysis. A baggie of 200 cigarettes can sometimes cost only $10, Klukas said. Klukas and his colleagues have a vested interest in locals purchasing cigarettes from their retailers, but the research suggests the B.C. government may be losing $120 million a year in tax revenue to illegal tobacco dealings. That’s money going into the pockets of organized crime from elsewhere in the country and as far away as Asia — and it needs renewed focus from both federal and provincial governments.

Whether for or against, make informed decision Editor: In light of recent releases by Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment regarding PM2.5 emissions in Kamloops, I decided to do my own research into the facts and myths of particulate matter and its effects on health. Many people are happy to blindly follow what either Stop Ajax Mine or KGHM tells them. I feel bad for those people as, in this digital age, it is easy to do the research and find out facts for yourself. All the science on particulate matter is out there and easy to access. Particulate matter and its effects on humans has been well-studied. A little digging into particulate matter and PM2.5 shows numerous health issues that can arise.

It is already well known there is no safe PM2.5 level and that it is a class 1 carcinogen. It is also well known that yearly averages in Kamloops are above the set B.C. average, yet below the Canadian average. In the scientific journal The Lancet, a Danish study of 312,000 people in nine European countries revealed that, for every 10 microgram per cubic metre increase in PM2.5, the lung cancer rate rose by 36 per cent. Last year’s average for Kamloops was about 8. Increased particulate matter also led to increases in plaque deposits in arteries, asthma, respiratory issues, cardiovascular issues and premature death. These are all well-proven, scientific facts. In 2000, PM2.5 caused

911

approximately 52,000 deaths in the U.S.. In 2005, PM2.5 caused about 375,000 cases of premature death in Europe, which has a higher yearly average of PM2.5 emissions than the U.S. or Canada. Having read this, I will say there are many sources of particulate matter out there besides industry, with The Lancet stating traffic exhaust being the most serious preventable cause. Having done the research, there are still questions about the proposed Ajax mine project that need to be answered. While we all know it will emit fine particulate matter and diesel exhaust into the air, how much will reach the city? How much will it raise our PM2.5 levels? 0.1 micrograms, five micrograms or more?

While I agree we don’t necessarily need another source of emissions out there, one thing we won’t know for sure is how large of an impact the mine will have. Even if PM2.5 levels were to reach 9 micrograms, that still puts us at levels below cities like Calgary and Montreal. It should be noted that many B.C. doctors leave for more money in Calgary, a city with worse air quality than Kamloops — and above the Canadian PM2.5 threshold. People, whether for or against the proposed Ajax mine, need to take the time to educate themselves and make as informed a decision as possible. David Morris Kamloops

When KTW reporter Adam Williams emerged from the vehicle after less than 30 minutes inside, he looked as though he had just jumped in a lake. Dave Eagles/KTW

What happens in a hot car

T WAS LIKE sitting in a sauna, only I was fully clothed. Sweat ran down my face, stinging my eyes. My shirt was soaked through as though I had just run through a sprinkler. I could feel my heart rattling my ribs. In the back of my skull was the beginning of a headache. I was dizzy and a little lightheaded. Towards the end, anxiety set in. The entire time, I had the power to free myself. I can only imagine if I was indeed trapped. At 3:40 p.m. on Tuesday, July 15, one of the hottest days this year, I locked myself in my car to chronicle what happens to far too many pets and children in the sweltering summer months. My hope, and the hope of my co-workers

A KTW EXPERIMENT

ADAM WILLIAMS at the newspaper, was that recounting my experience would open the eyes of those who think vehicle interiors are still bearable as the mercury climbs. I’m an adult. I knew I was in no real danger as I sat in the blistering heat that day. As a human being, I can sweat, unlike our friends of the canine variety, and was able to regulate my body temperature. I had three people from the office keeping tabs on me the entire time, asking me questions and making sure I didn’t take

On Tuesday, July 15, KTW reporter Adam Williams pitched a half-baked idea during a newsroom meeting: How could we convey to readers what it’s like for dogs and children left in vehicles on hot days? A few hours later, he was soaked to the bone in his own sweat after spending 27 minutes with the window cracked in his Mazda 3.

things too far. What’s more, I knew the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion should they set in. I felt a few of them coming on that day and we ended the experiment right then. This was a highly controlled experiment, but it was no less eyeopening. It was 38 C (100 F) outside when I got into the backseat of my car, a grey Mazda 3 parked in the sunbathed parking lot of Kamloops This Week. Inside my vehicle, the thermometer on my car’s black interior read 49 C (120 F). I closed the door and

opened the window to allow a two-inch crack, to simulate what some mistakenly believe is enough to keep the interior cool. The sweat started pouring instantly, but 45 minutes in the hotbox — the goal I had set before leaving the airconditioned office — still seemed reasonable. So, what happened? • One minute: The car was hot, but bearable. We’ve all entered a sunbaked vehicle. It wasn’t pleasant, but I hadn’t expected it to be. • Two minutes: I burned myself on the metal clip of a seatbelt, which was hot not because it was heated

Within minutes of entering the car, the temperature surpassed 50 C. Dave Eagles/KTW

by direct sunlight but because of the temperature inside the car. • Four minutes: Sweat marks began to show on my shirt. • Five minutes: The thermometer hit 50 C (122 F). A co-worker remarked that the hottest temperature ever recorded on earth was in Death Valley, at 57 C (143 F). • 10 minutes: Large swaths of sweat marked my shirt. The thermometer had climbed to its maximum, past 50 C. I had beads of sweat running down my face, neck and extremities. I was starting to feel uncomfortable. • 15 minutes: My cellphone overheated and turned itself off. • 16 minutes: My clothes were so soaked in sweat it looked like I had run through a sprinkler. My shoes, shorts and shirt all had sweat lines on them. • 20 minutes: It

was hard to take deep breaths. It felt like I was trying to breathe in the steam in a sauna. • 21 minutes: I started to feel a headache coming on. • 23 minutes: I could feel my heart beating harder. • 24 minutes: I started to feel dizzy. • 26 minutes: I started to feel anxious. • 27 minutes: I was told to get out of the car. Twenty-seven minutes — that’s all it took. That’s less time than it takes me to get through my emails when I get to work some mornings, less than half of the time I spend on a lunch break. The decline was quick, quicker than any of us expected, and, in the end, I didn’t make it to 30 minutes, let alone to my goal of 45 minutes. Returning to the air-conditioned office after wringing the sweat

from my shirt (the fluid actually dripped onto the pavement), I reflected on the experience. The cracked window had provided no relief and support from co-workers didn’t keep anxiety at bay. I was sweaty, hot and uncomfortable and I don’t know if I would have lasted much longer. What would have happened with five more minutes? 10? 30? I was not forced to find out personally, but we see the tragic consequences in the media each summer. Leaving anybody — person or animal — to wait in a vehicle in the summer has no possible happy ending. Having water at hand doesn’t help, a cracked window gives no relief, parking in the shade offers only the most negligible of improvements. This summer, wheth-

Despite ongoing warnings and public-service announcements about the dangers of leaving pets in hot cars, BC SPCA constables are being inundated with calls this summer to rescue pets left in parked vehicles. Last month alone, the BC SPCA responded to 228 calls to rescue dogs in distress who had been left in hot cars by their owners. “The media is wonderful about helping us get the message out that it can be fatal to leave your pet in a hot car, even for 10 minutes, but still we receive hundreds of calls about animals in distress,” said Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “We can’t stress strongly enough how dangerous this is for your pet.” With temperatures soaring this week across B.C., the SPCA is urging people to leave their pets at home if they can’t keep them safe. “The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill a pet,” Chortyk said. “In just minutes, the temperature in a parked car can climb to well over 38 C (100 F). Dogs have no sweat glands, so they can only cool themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws.” Dogs can withstand high temperatures for only a very short time — in

er you’re leaving your car for 10 minutes or 10 hours, don’t leave anyone behind. Take your dog with you, put your child in the cart — or plan ahead and leave them at home. I made it 27 minutes. Too many others every summer are not as lucky.

some cases just minutes — before suffering irreparable brain damage or death. Pet owners should be alert to heatstroke symptoms, which include exaggerated panting (or the sudden stopping of panting), rapid or erratic pulse, salivation, anxious or staring expression, weakness and muscle tremors, lack of co-ordination, convulsions or vomiting and collapse. If your dog shows symptoms of heatstroke, you should do the following: · Immediately move the animal to a cool, shady place · Wet the dog with cool water

· Fan vigorously to promote evaporation. This will cool the blood, which reduces the animal’s core temperature. · Do not apply ice. This constricts blood flow, which will inhibit cooling. · Allow the dog to drink some cool water (or to lick ice cream if no water is available) · Take the dog to a veterinarian as soon as possible for further treatment. “If you’re used to letting your dog accompany you on errands, you might feel guilty leaving him behind on hot summer days,” Chortyk said. “But, your dog will be much happier — and safer — at home, with shade and plenty of fresh cool water.”

Financial fraudster now being sued By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A disgraced Kamloops financial planner who served a two-year jail sentence in a federal penitentiary after running an elaborate Ponzi scheme for five years is facing more legal trouble. A notice of claim filed last week in Kamloops provincial court is seeking $25,000 from Ed Chieduch. The lawsuit, filed by Jerry Pranjic, claims Chieduch failed to repay a personal loan two years ago. In the notice of claim, Pranjic states he is “a longtime friend” of Chieduch. He states in the document he wants his money back now that Chieduch, 60, is employed. In 2012, Chieduch was sentenced to a two-year jail term after pleading guilty to fraud charges stemming from a five-year Ponzi scheme that saw him rake in more than $300,000. Between 2005 and 2010, Chieduch bilked eight clients out of $312,000 — with victims losing between $15,000 and $100,000 each. During sentencing submissions in 2012, court heard most of Chieduch’s victims were friends of his. Chieduch used forged investment documents promising a 10 per cent return. Some of the victims were paid partial returns until 2008, when the scheme collapsed. For his part, Chieduch tried to claim he was a victim himself — saying he stole the money to cover losses he suffered as part of a so-called Nigerian investment scam. Court heard the financial planner,

Ed Chieduch (right, with his lawyer, Matt Ford, in 2012) served two years for running a Ponzi scheme that defrauded clients, most of whom were his friends. Chieduck is now being sued by another longtime friend. KTW file photo

with more than two decades of experience in the field, received a phone call in 2005 from someone in Nigeria named “Dr. Smith,” who promised full access to a dormant bank account containing $25 million US. All Chieduch had to do to unlock the account was pay $25,000 US. He said he ended up losing $300,000 to Dr. Smith, but had little documentation to back it up. The judge did not buy that argument, calling it “nonsensical.” In addition to the jail term, Chieduch was also ordered to pay restitution to his eight victims. Because he filed for bankruptcy in 2011, however, the victims will likely have to sue Chieduch to recoup their losses. In 2010, when clients began to file complaints about Chieduch’s investment practices, he had his trading licence permanently revoked by the Insurance Council of B.C. None of the allegations in the notice of claim have been proven in court.

Protect from concussions, athletes, give brain a sporting chance

OUR BRAIN is the organ of mental health, and we have talked frequently about the importance of preventing injuries to the brain as a way of preserving mental health and we have promoted exercise and sports as healthy for the brain — to a point. According to the College of Neurosurgery in the United States, many common sports played by people of all ages carry the risk of concussion. Studies have shown that the risk is greatest in football and rugby, followed by hockey and soccer. The risk of concus-

sion for young women and girls is greatest in soccer and basketball. One issue we have talked about frequently is the additive effects of small blows to the head that all add up to long-term brain damage like that seen in football players and boxers. This can be caused by everyday events like heading the soccer ball, for example. Physicians across North America have been concerned that a number of concussions from single-blow incidents go unreported or

undiagnosed because of a difference in the way medical practitioners view the symptoms. An article published in the journal Neurosurgery this week provides some valuable tips that all of us should consider when someone we care about receives a blow to the head. The research team identified four signs that indicate a person has a concussion. You can have a concussion without these symptoms, but the presence of any of these conditions means

you have a serious head injury for certain: • Observed disorientation or confusion immediately after the event; • Impaired balance within a day after injury; • Slower reaction time within 48 hours after injury; • Impaired verbal learning and memory within 48 hours after injury.

that we should pay attention to because they could well indicate a concussion, such as a loss of consciousness, post-injury amnesia, retrograde amnesia, disorientation or confusion, balance problems or slowed reaction time. If you see any of these signs, a person need to see a physician for a possible concussion. The problem is we have minimized the

importance of brain injuries with commonly used terms such as “mild brain injury” or “slight concussion.” Neurosurgeons and other physicians who work with or study the brain — like our friend, psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen, point out that although the blow to the head may be mild, all brain injuries are serious. We know the NFL has been forced to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars into a fund to help former profootball players whose lives have been drastically altered and shortened by repeated head injuries, some caused by being compelled to continue play when already suffering from

Venom, Tigers primed for final By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

HE KAMLOOPS VENOM need to get a hate on for the Vernon Tigers, according to Gord Hardman, the local junior B lacrosse team’s head coach. “There’s a tremendous amount of respect between these teams,” said Hardman, whose charges are hosting Game 1 of the bestof-five Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League final at Memorial Arena on Saturday, July 19. “We need to find that edge where we get a bit of disrespect. “They [the Tigers] just go through the motions. They don’t do a lot to get guys worked up and mad. They just hang around on you and they’re there at the end of the game.” Each game of the series begins at 7:30 p.m. Kamloops and Vernon were the class of the league in 2014, finishing the regular season with records of 14-1-1 and 13-1-2, respectively. In head-to-head matchups, the Venom had the advantage, winning twice and losing once, with the other game ending in a tie. Despite the slight

edge, Hardman said his team is the underdog heading into the TOJLL final, with the two most recent showdowns between the squads finishing in a win for the Tigers and a tie. Both of those tilts were played in Vernon. “What makes them tough is they’re welldisciplined, they don’t give up a lot of goals and they’re wellcoached,” Hardman said. “They’re a tough team, no doubt about it.” If the Venom do find the edge Hardman is talking about, that perfect amount of disrespect, they should be

careful not to go over it. Vernon finished the season with the least amount of penalty minutes of any team, 268, while Kamloops had the second-most, 456. Only Kelowna had more, with 457. The Tigers’ topthree scorers — Darrell Landels (32G, 60 points), Jordan Orr (23G, 59 points) and Ryan Sarazin (21G, 46 points) — don’t need an invitation to score on the power play. Vernon’s discipline will have to remain excellent if Kamloops’ big three are to be kept at bay. Brady Jorgensen

(66G, 103 points), Riley Peterson (26G, 73 points) and Kyle Pauwels (32G, 64 points) were one, two, three in regular-season scoring. Hardman said the healthy hate his team needs to harness will likely be found in oneon-one battles. “When you go into a five-game series, you’re going to be matched up against the same players shift after shift, game after game,” Hardman said. “Eventually, you’ll find something the other player is doing . . .” The goaltending matchup features the

league’s top two netminders, with Aaron Jensen (.883 save percentage) between the pipes for the Tigers and Mitch Horsman (.838 save percentage) backstopping the Venom. Perhaps Hardman is playing the underdog card for motivational purposes, but he pointed out Vernon was undermanned in two early-season losses to Kamloops at Memorial, 12-10 on April 26 and 9-6 on May 24. He did, however, mention his squad was battered and bruised when it lost 10-7 to hometown Vernon on June 18. X See VENOM A17

Hockey brains gather for summer Kamloops coaches’ conference By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

For 40 of the region’s minor hockey coaches, the hockey season begins today. The eighth annual Kamloops Summer Coaches Conference gets underway today — Friday, July 18 — wrapping up on Sunday, July 20. The conference will give bench bosses the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the business in advance of the 20142015 season. “I don’t know if there’s one specific thing, but I know people will learn things and some of it, obviously most of it, will be hockey related,” said Kamloops Minor Hockey Association head coach George Cochrane. “I think there are things that can be applied to all kinds of situations.” The itinerary for the 2014 conference includes sessions on game preparation and bench management, puck skills and technol-

ogy, off-ice speed and power, drills, tactics, communication and conflict resolution. Among the speakers attending the weekend are Corey McNabb, senior manager of player and coach development for Hockey Canada, Kamloops Blazers head coach Don Hay, Everett Silvertips head coach Kevin Constantine, St. Louis Blues assistant coach Ray Bennett, UBC Thunderbirds head coach Tyler Kuntz and Ryan Walter, former assistant coach of the Vancouver Canucks. “They’ll get an

opportunity to learn about the game, they’ll get an opportunity to spend a little time in some informal opportunities to talk with these guys, with all the experience they have in the game,” Cochrane continued. “They’ll get a chance to maybe network a little bit with people who coach in other communities, in other situations of, maybe, a similar level. “So, I think there’s really a well-rounded opportunity to learn, to network and just have a weekend of hockey when it’s 35 degrees outside.” Tom Renney, former associate coach of the Detroit Red Wings, had been set to attend the coaches conference as well, but was forced to cancel following his appointment as the president and CEO of Hockey Canada earlier. Sessions will take place at both Interior Savings Centre and the Brock Arena. On-ice sessions in Brock will be open for public viewing.

Home-floor advantage will likely play a huge part in this series. Vernon has not lost at Kal Tire Place in more than two seasons, playing on an oversized surface in cool temperatures. “They really take advantage of the big floor,” Hardman said. “When you’re on the bench, you’re scrambling to get guys in and out, and up with their pace.” The smaller floor and sizzling temperatures inside Memorial likely favour Kamloops, which is used to a slower pace of play. Should both teams hold serve and force a deciding fifth game, it will be up to the Venom to seal the deal on July 27 at the venerable VictoriaStreet barn. Game 2 will be played in Vernon on Monday, July 21; Game 3 in Kamloops on Wednesday, July 23; and Game 4 in Vernon on Friday, July 25. Kamloops steamrolled the South Okanagan Flames of Penticton

NBA becoming more balanced Sergio,Tiger roll back clock at British Open By Tim Reynolds

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS — Patrick Ewing sees the parallels between then and now. For 13 straight seasons, Ewing averaged at least 20 points. He was a superstar, the toast of New York, the city’s biggest star when he was the face of the Knicks’ franchise. During the stretch when Ewing was at his peak, his combination of points, rebounds and blocked shots made him unquestionably one of the game’s elite. “When I played, it was mostly one superstar per team,’’ Ewing said. And that, in the end, was a problem for Ewing. For as good as he was — not to mention the likes of Charles Barkley, Dominique Wilkins, George Gervin and many others — his enormous talent never carried him to an NBA championship. He sees the league heading back that way now. When LeBron James left Miami last week for a return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the power structure of the league shifted. And, while there’s obviously a team loaded with future hall of famers in San Antonio and plenty of teams with two players worthy of at least superstar argument, there’s nothing now that can mirror what the Heat had when James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were teammates. James’ latest decision also gives Cleveland a better chance to win a title. But, like Ewing, Barkley and plenty of others know, a more-balanced playing field across the NBA means many other teams figure to have a better chance as well. “There’s a lot of money being given today and there’s a lot of teams with more great players than there were in

the past,’’ said Paul Silas, James’ first coach in Cleveland. “I like seeing that. I really like to see the teams fight against each other and having more than one have a chance to win the whole thing.’’ Welcome to the new NBA or, rather, the updated NBA. Sure, 16 teams go to the playoffs but, really, how many were legitimate title contenders last season? The entire season a year ago seemed like Indiana and Miami were preordained to meet in the Eastern Conference final — and that’s exactly what happened. James changes sides, a few other moves get made and now there’s probably a half-dozen teams in the East alone thinking they’ll be good enough to be one of the last two teams standing next June. Ask NBA executives, many of whom aren’t upset to see Miami’s stranglehold as East favourites come to an end, and they say it’s all a good thing for the game. “Much more competitive this year,’’ Knicks president Phil Jackson said. “The East last year, I thought until the very end when the Knicks made a run, Toronto got going, Washington got going, there were a lot of teams languishing under or around .500. “But I think this year, more talent’s spread around the East and I think it’s going to be very competitive.’’ And in the East right now, who that best team is obviously up for much debate. “Teams have the ability to have two [superstars] now,’’ Ewing said. “We don’t know what the collective bargaining agreement is going to be, with the new TV money coming in, what’s going to happen. We’ll see what happens.’’

HOYLAKE, England — The last time Sergio Garcia played the British Open at Royal Liverpool in 2006, he was one stroke off the lead after three rounds and played in the final group with Tiger Woods. Woods, wearing his traditional Sunday red shirt, shot 65 to win by two strokes. Garcia, dressed from head to toe in yellow, shot a 73 and finished tied for fifth, seven strokes behind. It was another British Open disappointment for the Spaniard: Five times he’s gone into the final round of the Open within three shots or better of the lead, including his three-shot lead at Carnoustie in 2007. On Thursday, July 17, Garcia opened with a 4-under 68, two strokes behind early leader Rory McIlroy, and still in search of that elusive first win in a major. “It would be nice to put myself in a position to have a solid chance on Sunday, like I did a couple of times, and like I did in 2006,’’ Garcia said.

“But, still, it’s only the first day. So we’re going to go a little step by step and hopefully keep shooting good scores.’’ Woods returned to the majors for the first time in 11 months on Thursday and gave thousands of fans perched along the hillocks what they wanted to see — a three-time Open champion looking as if he has the game to win another one. He atoned for a bogey-bogey start with five birdies in a six-hole stretch at the end for a 3-under 69. He was neither surprised nor satisfied. It felt like the other 250 rounds he has played in the majors as a pro. “I knew I could do it,’’ Woods said. “That’s why I was telling you guys it was so important for me to play at Congressional.

every day and the fact that I was strong, more explosive the more days I played . . . I’m only going to get better from that point.’’ Garcia had five birdies and one bogey, on the par-5 10th. But, he followed up the 6 with a chip-in birdie on No. 11. “It was perfect timing. It was one of those things that it was great to be able to do it right after a bogey on a par-5, which always stings a little bit,’’ Garcia said. “I hit a great tee shot, then then just pulled it with my 9-iron left of the green . . . let it run down the hill. Fortunately, it went

straight in the middle and hit the pin and went in.’’ Garcia said he’s in a good place mentally, despite what the Open has dished out to him in the past. “Even in the tough years in this championship, it’s different to me,’’ Garcia said. “I love it so much. After the Ryder Cup it’s my favourite tournament to play. You always come with a different frame of mind here, even if you’re struggling a little bit. It almost kind of feels like a Ryder Cup, when people start shouting, “Come on, lads’!” Whether the fans are still offering encouragement to him on Sunday is still a big question mark, but Garcia is happy after Thursday’s effort. “Every time you start a major championship and an Open with a 4 under, you’ve got to be pleased with it,’’ he said.

SWAT cap season with respectable provincial finish NEW LOCATION

The under-16 Kamloops SWAT placed fifth out of 16 teams at the Provincial C fastball championships, which wrapped up in Port Alberni earlier this month. Kamloops reached the semifinal after a 3-1 record in roundrobin play, but Ridge Meadows proved too much to handle, earning an 8-2 victory over the SWAT. North Shore and Kamloops met in a barnburner to decide fourth and fifth places. Unfortunately for Kamloops, a North Shore bloop single in the eighth inning led it to victory. Alexis Dupuis, Jamie Proulx, Sienna Reinhart, Ariel Fennell and Sydney Dempster were among Kamloops’ standout players at the tournament.

Judo jubilation

Add another four medals to the trophy case for Megan and Geoffrey Hanks. The Kamloops siblings, both members of the Aberdeen Judo Academy, competed in the U.S. National Judo Championships in Honolulu, Hawaii at the beginning of July. Geoffrey, 14, won gold in the juvenile B category on Friday, July 4, and then captured a bronze medal

in the International Judo Federation’s junior open division on Saturday, July 5. Megan, 16, won silver in juvenile B on Friday, then capturing gold in the IJF’s junior open division on Saturday. The pair was among nearly 1,100 competitors in attendance at the event.

Rec results

Soccer pitches have been busy with recent Kamloops Recreational Soccer League action. In 45-plus play, BC Rivers Consulting edged Duffy’s Pub 3-1. Danny Nicolic, Terry Wiebe and Zoran Boskovic scored for BC Rivers and Wally Brain tallied for Duffy’s. BC Rivers also played to a 3-3 tie with Frick and Frack, with its goals coming from Boskovic (2) and Chuck MacKenzie. Claudio Klarich, Lorne Rowe and Tony Carcello scored for Frick and Frack. In other 45-plus play, Kamcon beat NRI Distribution 2-1. Todd Wiseman and

Dan Perry found the net for the winners and Dave Spendlove scored in a losing cause. Kamcon followed up their victory with another victory, this time 4-0 against RCC FC. Wiseman and Perry again found twine, with Wiseman scoring a hat trick. In 30-plus action, Glenn Douglas of Jensen Law shut out IJ Windows and Doors 6-0. Justin Cartwright netted a hat trick, while Jeremy Jensen, Dan Laviolette and Eric Davis rounded out the scoring. Elsewhere, Mortgage Intelligence doubled up Piva Financial, 4-2.

The 15-andunder A Kamloops RiverDogs played for hardware at the Valley of Champions Tournament on Sunday, July 13, in Kelowna. In the final, White Rock overpowered Kamloops, winning 15-1. The Dogs made the final after beat-

ing Surrey (12-4) and North Delta (8-5). MVPs for the weekend included Nicholas McCaffrey, Evan Schmidt, Chad Petrie, Gavin Coxon and Jarrod Ritter (who had two home runs). The CSC Electric bantam junior RiverDogs and the mosquito AAA tier 1 RiverDogs also competed in Kelowna. The bantam junior Dogs didn’t advance through the roundrobin after a loss to Okotoks Baseball Academy, which came back in dramatic fashion to win 19-16 in the last preliminary game. Kamloops had previously won against Abbotsford 12-7 and lost to Vernon 19-2 and West Kelowna 13-9. The mosqutio AAA RiverDogs faced a similar fate, failing to advance to the playoffs after going 2-2 in round-robin play.

Notice to Electors

Alternative Approval Process – REVISED DATES pp Fire Hall Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 753, 2014

Pursuant to Section 86 of the Community Charter, this notice is to advise electors in the District of Logan Lake of Council’s intention to adopt “Fire Hall Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 753, 2014”. The purpose of the bylaw is to authorize Council to borrow, an amount not to exceed $2,540,650, to finance the cost of the construction of a new main fire hall on the site located at 120 & 124 Chartrand Place that will be repaid over a period not to exceed 10 years. It is estimated that the borrowing will not result in a tax increase for the average residential property. Council may proceed with the adoption of the bylaw if the Alternative Approval Process is unsuccessful and less than 10% of the electors of the District of Logan Lake, sign an elector response form indicating that Council must obtain the assent of the electors (vote), before proceeding. The number of elector responses required to prevent the District of Logan Lake from proceeding unless a vote is held is estimated to be 171. The Alternative Approval Process elector response forms will only be accepted if they are in the form established by the District of Logan Lake. Only electors of the District of Logan Lake are entitled to sign the elector response forms and an elector may only sign one form. The forms are available at Municipal Hall, #1 Opal Drive, Logan Lake, BC starting Friday, July 18, 2014 at 8:30 am.

Carolin was born on Sunday, October 14, 1962 in Revelstoke, BC. She is survived by her parents Doug and Sheila, her four loving sisters Mazy, Diane, Linda and Louise, her two children Douglas and Anita and her two granddaughters Kokoah and Kozayah. Carolin also leaves behind her lifelong foster parents Bonita and John, her foster brother William, and foster sisters Julianne, Laura, and predeceased by her foster sister Darlene and brother Darren. Carolin also leaves behind cherished and loving extended family members Rene, Arlene and Julie. The family wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to all her nurses and doctors who helped her deal with all her multiple medical illnesses throughout her years. Carolin will be remembered as a strong, enthusiastic and caring woman with immeasurable strength and will to live, as she conquered and battled her daily health obstacles. Carolin never let her health issues get the best of her. She was a master crafter, she loved to travel and to be outdoors.

HAZEL EVELYN KALTENBACH

April 4, 1929 – July 11, 2014

Forever in our hearts It is with deep sadness that the family announces Hazel’s passing in Royal Inland Hospital at the age of 85. Lovingly remembered and missed by her husband of nearly 67 years, Fred, her children Don (Lynn), Karen Mulhern (Rob) and Greg (Jackie), grandchildren Heather (Earl), Bonnie (Norm), Sabrina (Jeff), Nicole (Dan), Bryce (Christine) and Shelby. Nana to her nine greatgrandchildren Jarrod, Leann, Ethan, Hannah, Amy, Megan, Mason, Ben and Rachel. Also left to mourn her passing are her sisters Eileen and Norma and several nieces and nephews. Mom was an amazing cook and made the best “goodies” ever, nothing was ever too much trouble, and family was everything to her.

Victorine (Vicki) Margaret Laughington, 72, passed away on Thursday, July 10, 2014 at Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops. Vicki was the core of her ever growing family; her loving husband Gordon (predeceased); her children Tracey (Steve), Rick, Scott (Stacey), Todd, Lillian, Harriett (predeceased), Susan (Guillaume), Noah, Starcey; as well as her grandchildren Tiffany (Jared), Adrienne (Eric), Kalie (Alvin), Dustin (Robin), Danielle (Cori), Caleb, Baillee, Zoelya; and great-grandchildren Seth, Dillon and Emi. She was also survived by her caring and lifetime friend Elaine. Those who were lucky enough to meet Vicki would say that she was strong, loving, charismatic, vibrant, generous, energetic ... She was simply the best! She was never short of words or love. For 49 years she was married to the love of her life, Gord (Papa) and in that time raised not only her own children, but also extended her home and heart to countless others. She dedicated her life to the well-being of children in foster care who found comfort in her home. Vicki considered herself a professional shopper and couldn’t say no to anything pink or covered in sparkles; preferably both! She had a jewellery collection to rival Elizabeth Taylor’s, along with an extravagant collection of handbags and purses. She was known for her sweet tooth and made sure her kids knew how to make a pot of coffee and add enough cream and sugar (and if no one was looking, let them have their first sip). For 50 years Vicki faithfully served her God, Jehovah, and was comforted by the scripture Revelation 4:11

“You are worthy, Jehovah our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created.” All are welcome to a memorial service to be held on Saturday, the 19th of July at 3:30 pm at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses located at 1985 Curlew Rd, Kamloops, BC V2C 4H9. Tea and refreshments to follow. We would also like to extend our appreciation to the nurses on 6 North at IHA, along with a special thank you to Dr. T. Smillie, Dr. T. Schmidt and nurse Jackie, and Ayla. Vicki had many different titles and held many different roles, but was most fondly known to everyone as Nana.

GORDON KENNETH CHRISTIANSEN Passed in: Kamloops, British Columbia March 9, 1949 ~July 11, 2014

It is with heavy hearts that we say good-bye to a loving partner, father, grandfather and friend, Gord Christiansen. After living with cancer, he passed away peacefully in hospice on July 11, 2014 at the young age of 65. Born on March 9, 1949 in Coronation, Alberta, he is predeceased by his father (Hilmer), mother (Elisabeth), brother and three sisters; and, is survived by five sisters. Among those loved ones he leaves behind are his daughter Kendra and granddaughter “Rookie” (Jaydra) of Victoria, and two sons Tyler of Edmonton and Troy of Kamloops, as well as his loving life partner, best friend and travel companion Pamela Hoffman and her children Tyler and partner Sean of Vancouver, and Brady and partner Jessica and grandchildren “Ben Ben” (Bennett) and Avyn of Langley. One of Gord’s life moto’s was “Work hard. Play Hard”. Coming from humble beginnings, he built a successful small business, Aero Heating & Air Conditioning, and a solid reputation in his community through hard work, pride and dedication. Gord wanted the best out of life - for himself and his family and did everything he could to make that happen. He also enjoyed many hobbies over the years. Gord loved to research travel destinations around the globe, and travelled to almost every place he dreamed of visiting. He enjoyed flying lessons, brewing wine, golfing and loved NASCAR and curling. A few of his most cherished memories included driving a race car at the NASCAR Fontana Speedway in California, getting to experience being a fighter pilot for a day with Air Combat USA, and sharing numerous vacations in Mexico with family and friends; especially, being able to celebrate two Christmas’ with his whole family in Puerto Vallarta. Gord was a private man but was always there to offer his ear and his wisdom - take it or leave it. “Do something even if it’s wrong”, he would say. Though he didn’t say the words often, by his actions, he showed those closest to him that he loved them deeply and would do anything for them. He would give the shirt off his back.

Special thanks to Mom’s family physician, Dr. H. Ritenburg, Aileen and the wonderful doctors and nurses in the E.R. and on 7 North for their care, compassion and support.

From the family, a special thank you goes out to Gord’s sister, Shirley, and brother-in-law, Larry Colp of Edmonton. Larry, you were like the brother that Gord never had. Your support and friendship was very special and important to him - you meant the world to Gord. Also, a special thank you to Bev Hunter of Kamloops for all your love and support, and for always putting a smile on Gord’s face. Even when he wasn’t feeling well, you could always make him smirk. And, finally, thank you to the dedicated and compassionate staff of the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home for all you did to bring peace and comfort to Gord during his last few days on this earth. You are all truly an inspiration.

Online condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Gord was a wonderful and amazing man, loved and cherished, and he will be deeply missed.

Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

As per Gord’s wishes, there will be no formal service held.

In Loving Memory of

JEREMY ROBERT GERALD SHARPE On the Anniversary of the Day You Went Away Today’s the anniversary Of the day that I lost you And for a time it felt as though My life had ended too.

But loss has taught me many things and now I face each day, With hope and happy memories To help me on my way. And though I’m full of sadness That you’re no longer here Your inuence still guides me And I still feel you near. What we shared will never die It lives within my heart, Bringing strength and comfort While we are apart.

It has been ten years since you left us; You are always in our hearts Your loving family

TO ALL PARENTS ... By Edgar Guest “I’ll lend you for a little time A child of Mine” He said, “For you to love while he lives, And mourn when he is dead. It may be six or seven years, Or twenty-two or three, But will you, till I call him back Take care of him for Me? He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, And should his stay be brief, You’ll have his lovely memories As solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay Since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. I’ve looked the wide world over In my search for teachers true, And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes I have selected you. Now will you give him all your love, Nor think the labour vain, Not hate Me when I come To call and take him back again? I fancied that I heard them say Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joy this child shall bring, The risk of grief we’ll run. We’ll shelter him with tenderness. We’ll love him while we may, And for the happiness we’ve known Forever grateful stay. And should the angels call for him Much sooner than we’d planned, We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand.

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night DYLAN THOMAS

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightening they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in ight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your erce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

HE 59 skeletons were found in 1964, lying together in a gravesite beside the Nile near what is now the Egyptian-Sudanese border. They died between 13,000 and 14,000 years ago and some of them seemed to have perished in battle. That was big news a half-century ago, when most people still believed organized killing was an invention of civilization. Now they are back in the news, billed as evidence of the world’s oldest known battle. The skeletons were first dug up in haste, as part of a salvage dig to rescue archeological artifacts that would soon be covered by the 500-kilometre lake rising upstream from the

new Aswan High Dam. They received little further attention until two years ago. Scientists at Bordeaux University recently re-examined them and discovered dozens of previously undetected arrow impact marks on the bones. Most of the victims had died in a hail of arrows, killed by an organized force of enemy archers — and the deaths had occurred over a period of months or even years. So, there had been a prolonged low-level war long before the rise of civilization or even of agriculture. The people in the graves were ethnically Africans, probably driven down into the Nile valley by the drying out of what is now the Sahara Desert. We can surmise their enemies were probably whites of the Levantine/European/

North African stock who lived around the Mediterranean and had already spread up the Nile. The war was almost certainly about resources, for it was a time of rapid climate change and food resources were under great pressure. The two groups were hunters who had efficient weapons so, technically, they could fight a war. But, the weapons were not new and neither were resource crises. Why didn’t this happen far earlier? The skeletons of Jebel Sahaba are not just telling us we are capable of killing our own kind. Everybody knows that and it’s a skill that we share with our near relatives, the chimpanzees, and a number of other species. Nor do we need them to tell us we are capable of highly organized mass killing. All of our recorded history is filled with war. What the graves of Jebel Sahaba are really telling us is that civilization was not the problem — and perhaps also that we are not doomed to perpetual war. Raymond Kelly is an anthropologist who studies warfare among pre-civilized groups and, in his book Peaceful Societies and the Origins of War, he offers us three eras.

In the first period, our hominid ancestors behaved like chimpanzees still do. If a foraging party came across a member of a neighbouring group near the borders of their territory, they would kill

even come together to socialize, trade, court spouses and perform shared rituals. This fostered trust and peace — and they got to exploit all of their territory. The last transforma-

of warriors for purposeful raiding. Now killing could happen not at the border, but in dawn attacks on the places where the neighbouring group sleeps. Massacre can be the result — and so can

him if it was safe to do so — in practice, if they outnumbered him by at least three-to-one. This behaviour had a cost, however, because it made the borders dangerous. Chimpanzees typically spend threequarters of their time in the central third of their territory and all the rest is under-exploited. Human behaviour changed when the development of weapons that can kill at a distance (spearthrowers, slings, bows and arrows) made the outcome of any attack more uncertain. In this second period, starting about 400,000 years ago, Kelly argues that intergroup violence fell sharply. Neighbouring human groups, made up mainly of nuclear families, worked hard at being neighbourly. At times of seasonal abundance, they would

tion was driven not by technological change, but by the rise of what Kelly calls “segmental societies” — ones in which nuclear families became associated in larger clans that extended down the generations. This allowed them to mobilize large numbers

a permanent expansion of the territory controlled by your own group. Jebel Sahaba, says Kelly, is the first archeological evidence we have of when this last transformation occurred. War becomes institutionalized in human societies and grows as they do.

A DIAMOND RING that has DIFFICULTY GOING UNNOTICED.

Welcome to the present, you might say. We all still keep armies and they are constantly preparing for wars that may no longer even involve land. But, have you noticed that no great power has fought any other for the past 69 years? That is quite new in our history. The second transformation, the one that led to about 400,000 years of relative peace, occurred because attacking your neighbours had become too dangerous as the weapons had become too lethal. It is possible we are in the midst of a comparable transformation now, although it must be admitted there is still rather a lot of the old behaviour around.

Weather change could help B.C. firefighters CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Only a handful of residents remain in the northeastern British Columbia district of Hudson’s Hope, hours after an evacuation order was issued for the community about 90 kilometres west of Fort. St. John. The now 160square-kilometre Mount McAllister wildfire is burning fiercely to the southwest and officials worry that if it jumps the Peace River, there will be little standing between it and the community of 1,150 people. For the first time in weeks, showers dampened the parched region overnight, but there are extreme thunderstorm warnings for areas for the north and south Peace River region, bringing with it strong winds, hail and possibly rain. “Right now, it’s hard to say whether that thunder-shower activity will be associated with rain or not. So, of course, dry lightning is also a concern,’’ said provincial fire information officer Navi Saini. “Strong winds are expected in many areas of the province, especially in the northeastern sections of the province where we have these large fires. Strong winds will likely increase fire behaviour.’’ Highway 29 south of Hudson’s Hope was closed late Wednesday, forcing evacuees to drive eastward to gather at a reception centre in Fort St. John, awaiting an update expected within hours. There are also two BC Hydro generating stations in Hudson’s Hope, responsible for 30 per cent of the province’s power. A BC Hydro news release said the evacuation of 200 staff and contractors won’t impact the ability to provide power to the province. About 140 fires are burning across British Columbia and

officials are keeping a close eye on a new incident reported late Wednesday after-

noon on Nickel Plate Mountain, west of Apex Mountain, in the southern Okanagan.

That fire is already estimated to have scorched one-square kilometre of bush.

NATIONAL NEWS

TRU silent on potential link to plane victim By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Officials at Thompson Rivers University say they won’t comment on an unconfirmed report one of the 295 people killed when a passenger plane was downed in Ukraine was a student at “Thompson University.” The Associated Press report cites a rebel fighter at the site of the downed plane who said he saw documents belonging to an Indonesian national studying at “Thompson University.” TRU spokeswoman Diana Skoglun said the school is trying to find out more about the report, but will not be offering comment. “We will not be commenting on these early reports linking the debris to TRU because we cannot discuss out students’ whereabouts,” she told KTW. “It’s a privacy issue.” An official with Malaysia

In this 2012 photo, a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 takes off from Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles. The plane, with the tail number 9M-MRD, is the same aircraft that was heading from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur on Thursday, July 17.

Airlines confirmed at least one Canadian was among those killed, as well as 11 Indonesians. Huib Gorter, the airline’s senior vice-president, said 154 people were Dutch, 27 were Australians, 23 were Malaysians, six were from the United Kingdom, four were from Germany, four were from Belgium, and three were from the

Philippines. Gorter said authorities are still trying to determine the nationalities of the rest of the passengers. Malaysia’s prime minister said the jetliner did not make any distress call before it went down in eastern Ukraine. Najib Razak also says the flight route had been declared safe by the

International Civil Aviation Organization. A Ukrainian official said the plane was shot down Thursday, July 17, over a town in eastern Ukraine. Malaysia Airlines tweeted that it lost contact with one of its flights over Ukrainian airspace. As huge plumes of black smoke rose up near a village in eastern Ukraine, the fate

of the passengers aboard the plane wasn’t immediately known. Anton Gerashenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister, said on his Facebook page the plane was flying at an altitude of 10,000 metres (33,000 feet). He also said it was hit by a missile fired from a Buk launcher, which can fire missiles up to an altitude of

RCMP charge Duffy with fraud, breach of trust and bribery CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The RCMP laid 31 charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery against suspended Sen. Mike Duffy on Thursday. The charges involve Duffy’s claims for living expenses, claims for travel expenses unconnected with Senate business and fraudulent contracts, said RCMP Assistant Commissioner Gilles Michaud. They also cover the $90,000 Duffy allegedly received from Nigel Wright, the prime minister’s former chief of staff. A spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper called the behaviour described in the RCMP charges “disgraceful.’’ “We have assisted the RCMP throughout their investigation, and congratulate them on the progress they have made,’’ Jason Macdonald said in a statement. “Those who break the rules must suffer

Police in Ottawa have charged Sen. Mike Duffy with 31 criminal allegations. He’s due in court in September.

the consequences. The conduct described in the numerous charges against Mr. Duffy is disgraceful.’’ “As this is now a criminal matter that is before the courts, we have nothing further to add.’’ The opposition, meanwhile, blamed the charges on Harper, who appointed Duffy to the Senate. “These charges and the scandal stem from the poor judgment of the prime minister,’’ said New Democrat MP Nycole Turmel. “The buck stops with Stephen Harper. Liberal MP Marc Garneau echoed that. “These charges are

extremely serious,’’ Garneau said. ``Mike Duffy is a legislator in Canada’s Parliament and the prime minister of this country is the one who put him there.’’ “Throughout this entire PMO ethics scandal, the prime minister has tried to evade responsibility.’’ Michaud said the charges cover more than $200,000 in phoney expenses. They include money Duffy claimed for living expenses in what he said was a secondary residence in Ottawa, as well as expenses he charged for travel on personal or political business.

The bribery charge covers the $90,000 payment from Wright. “The investigation into Sen. Mike Duffy has been completed,’’ Michaud said at a news conference. “The case was initiated as an investigation into expense claims relating to his declared primary residence in Prince Edward Island, and secondary residence in Ottawa.’’ Michaud said the investigation then widened into four different directions. The first involved expense claims relating to Duffy’s secondary residence in Ottawa, while the second covered the filing of Senate expense claims for travel for personal and partisan reasons, unrelated to Senate business. A third avenue covered the awards of consulting contracts over a four-year period and the use of part of those funds for personal gain or for expenses that circumvent Senate oversight.

The last involved the $90,000 Duffy got from Wright to repay his residency expense claims. Duffy’s first court appearance is set for Sept. 16. The charges could result in a prison sentence. The bribery count carries a maximum sentence of 14 years.

22,000 metres (72,000 feet). The Donetsk region government said a plane crashed Thursday near a village called Grabovo, which it said is currently under the control of armed proRussian separatists. The region where the flight was lost has seen severe fighting between Ukrainian forces and proRussia separatist rebels in recent days. Both the president of Ukraine and a separatist leader denied shooting anything down Thursday. Separatist leader Andrei Purgin told The Associated Press that he was certain that Ukrainian troops had shot it down but gave no explanation for that statement. Purgin said he was not aware of whether rebel forces owned Buk missile launchers, but even if they did, there had no fighters capable of operating it. — with files from Canadian Press

ASSIDY SchaperKotter, 11, gets the line after a couple tries during dress rehearsal at Prince Charles Park. “I’ve seen hatters before,” she tells the sly Cheshire Cat, perched in pink fur above her. This year’s youngest X Fest cast member doesn’t get upset when she makes a mistake. “I just improv,” she said. But, don’t expect the Vernon girl to be crafting any lines when the show premieres on Thursday, July 24. While some kids are on summer vacation, she has been visiting into the Tournament Capital daily to rehearse her upcoming role in Alice in Wonderland. Cast as the lead role of Alice, it’s a “huge job for an 11-year-old,” said the show’s director and co-artistic producter, Melissa Thomas. Schaper-Kotter had to learn an English accent for one of two Project X Theatre productions during this summer’s annual outdoor festival. She leaves the stage only a couple of times during the hour and a half show. Thomas said she wanted a child to play Alice in a world of adults, true to the story. She had worked with Schaper-Kotter last year during The Fantastic Mr. Fox.

March following a work promotion. They agreed it’s been smooth despite the short timeline. “It was a really fast transition,” Thomas said, adding they would typically begin in the fall. Thomas has been with Project X Theatre since 2005 as an actor and director. Cant has a long resume, too, including time with Project X Theatre and on staff with Western Canada Theatre. “Heather has the administrative background and I kind of have the historical background,” Thomas said. They’ve split some of the duties and are each directing the plays. They’re part of a team of more than 30 production staff, cast members and board members. Five core cast members will perform in Alice in Wonderland and The Last of the Dragons with a few familiar faces returning to the stage as well as a few new one’s like TRU’s Christopher Seguin. Thomas said this year’s shows will appeal to young and old alike, with children’s stories and some adult humour. Having been sweating it out and smoked out while working in the park this week, they’re hoping the skies change. “It’s a labour of love,” Cant said. “Love and heat,” Thomas said.

Q: Where does the money go from the yellow boxes downtown?

K Q?

A: Money that you put into the yellow parking-meter boxes in downtown Kamloops is donated to the New Life Missionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community-meal programs. Kamloops city council decided to help fund the program this past spring with guidance from the social planning council. It looked at various local programs and chose the Mission based on the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s need, frequency of meals, as well as other criteria. So, any coins you drop into the boxes will help feed the needy for the next three years. C U B I C W E E V I L S W I V E L S

Monumental totems are highlights in The First Peoples’ Gallery. A dazzling display of fossils, reptiles and insects is in the Natural History Gallery. And, while meandering through storefront facades in the Modern History Gallery, we retrace B.C.’s timeline back to the 1700s. “Things sure have changed since those days,” my retired teacher/husband says when peering into St. Ann’s tiny one-room schoolhouse that’s located right next to the museum. I glance over at my quiet grandson and notice he’s fallen fast asleep in class. Not wanting to wake him, we bypass

of the arts captured B.C. landscapes in a unique way and was equally talented with the pen. Excerpts from The Book Of Small and her other six manuscripts can be viewed nearby, in her childhood home. The simple abode is certainly no mansion, but the next attraction on our list sure is. Apart from the moat and drawbridge, Craigdarroch boasts all the citadel traits: Turrets, towers, gothic chimneys — quite the contrasting architecture to its modern-day neighbors. “It reminds me of the Addams Family,” I say, while posing with Keegan for a photo moment.

we stroll through the acclaimed Royal B.C. Museum. Over seven-million specimens and artifacts are behind the scenes in collections, with many key items on display in the impressive 26,000-square foot

Seven galleries in the vibrant venue are home to nearly 18,000 objects d’art.

Although the impressive structure could easily serve as a set for the 1991 comedy flick, this former home of Joan Dunsmuir is the real McCoy.

Joan was persuaded to hand over most of the dealings to her two boys. In 1900, one of them died. The other fought

The 39-room, 26,000-square foot manor is deckedout with imported white oak and one of Canada’s finest collections of stained and leaded glass. Lavish décor, period pieces and fine paintings are topped off with coiffed ceilings. Eighty-seven stairs escalate four and a half floors to a view-boasting tower. Our leisurely pace continues during one final attraction — a stroll through Beacon Hill Park. One might wonder what the allure is for children here. Although the flowerbordered footpaths weaving throughout its 24.8 verdant hectares are eye-catching, and looking up at the world’s largest totem pole at 39 meters may make you feel woozy, they won’t likely be on the must-see kid list. Undoubtedly, the petting zoo will. Bleating sheep, braying alpacas, hee-hawing donkeys — wander alongside pot-bellied pigs, ducks and goats. We hear and pet them all. It’s too bad we can’t say the same for Keegan. After this day of family fun stuff, he’s all about the snooze. Travel Writers’ Tales is an independent travel article syndicate.
