FROM KAMLOOPS TO CONFLICT BY CAM FORTEMS • STAFF REPORTER • CAM@KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM

At the Wolfson Medical Centre, south of Tel Aviv, the smallest children awaiting or recovering from heart surgery have developed a response to the sound of rocket fire. “When the sirens go, the babies simply lift up their arms and wait for the adults to pick them up and take them to the safe room,” said Randi Weiss, a 26-year-old Kamloops woman whose trip to Israel last year started as a vacation and volunteer experience that turned into a job, a relationship and citizenship amid a war zone. “They’re getting so used to it that it has become an automatic response.” Weiss grew up in a city where gunshots are heard at a restricted firing range or in the distance of the forest in hunting season. She now finds herself living several days a week in the midst of a the deadliest conflict in Israel in a decade. Rockets fired from Hamas militants are intercepted by Israel’s “Iron Dome” defence system several times a day as the country’s

army makes incursions into the Palestinian Gaza Strip, blowing up tunnels, buildings and killing citizens in a tit-for-tat that has made it the world’s most familiar conflict. KTW interviewed Weiss, daughter of Kamloops lawyer Tom Weiss, by telephone, email and through excerpts of a letter she sent to worried friends. Weiss started university at Thompson Rivers University and

finished her science degree at Simon Fraser University. Her father is Jewish by heritage and she is Norwegian on her mother’s side. Tom said his daughter was not raised in a religious household, but she became interested in her heritage particularly because her grandparents were Holocaust survivors. X See CALM AND CHAOTIC A6

City staff are encouraging Kamloops city council to reject Gateway Casino’s bid to build an expanded casino in the former Rona building in Versatile, arguing it will weaken the downtown core. In a report council will debate today (July 29), the city’s planning department points to Kamloops’ official community plan (KAMPLAN) and city-centre plan as reasons to keep the casino downtown. “General planning philosophy accepts that strong downtown centres help create a sense of place and community focus,” the report states, noting both plans stake out downtown as “one of the primary commercial and cultural centres in the city.” In an unusual move, Gateway purchased the Rona property at 1555 Versatile Dr. from the hardware company without waiting to see if the city would approve the necessary zoning changes. The property is presently zoned for shopping centre use. The city does not designate land for casino use except on a case-by-case basis. If council chooses today to ignore staff’s recommendation, it would next consider rezoning the Rona building at a public hearing at a later date. That’s Coun. Pat Wallace’s preference. “I’m always reluctant not to take something to a public hearing and air it well,” she said. “Because there’s not just KAMPLAN involved. There’s a lot of money with a casino.” Casinos pay 10 per cent of their net gaming revenue to host municipalities. In 2013, Kamloops picked up more than $1.8 million from Lake City. CEO Tony Santo told KTW earlier this year the company plans to convert the former big-box store into a $34-mil-

lion casino featuring restaurants and pubs, a 500-seat amphitheatre, 600 slot machines and 20 gaming tables. The new casino would be rebranded to Cascades Casino and Santo estimated it would create 110 new jobs. “We’re confident that the city and community will be onside,” Santo said when questioned about the company’s decision to purchase the building in advance of a zoning decision. “As you know, Kamloops hosts the head office of the BCLC [B.C. Lottery Corporation] and we would like to build a facility that warrants that type of exposure.” Gateway held a series of open houses at the Versatile site earlier this year, which appeared to attract mainly supportive community members. Mayor Peter Milobar has also spoken in favour of Gateway’s expansion plans, telling KTW in April he’s been pushing for a better class of casino for five years — provided a casino is an appropriate use for the former Rona site. City staff did give council one argument in favour of the relocation bid — the site’s current designation as a shopping centre. “Shopping-centre categories permit a wide range of retail, personal service, and entertainment uses,” the report notes. “The role of casinos in general is shifting to entertainment designations with multiple complementary uses, such as hotels, restaurants, and live entertainment.” If Gateway’s relocation bid ultimately fails, there may be opportunity across the river, outside of city limits. In February, T’kemlups Indian Band, Chief Shane Gottfriedson said it would be an “exciting opportunity” if the company was to consider a move to band land.

FAKE FIREARMS, REAL ARRESTS Three men were arrested behind Interior Savings Centre on Monday, July 28, after Kamloops Mounties were told one of the trio was carrying a sawed-off shotgun. When police arrived at about 10 a.m., they discovered the men were carrying two replica firearms — an Airsoft-type pistol and sawed-off shotgun. Kamloops RCMP Const. Jason Epp said the trio won’t be charged because they weren’t committing any criminal acts with the fake firearms. But, he had a word of warning for anyone who owns similar toys. “The bottom line is, people, stop carrying around toy guns,” he said. Dave Eagles photos/KTW

Gangs working hard to set up in Kamloops Top Mountie points to Cherry Creek home invasion as an example of Coast faction presence By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops’ top cop says gangsters are increasing their efforts to set up shop in the Tournament Capital. “Of concern lately, we’ve seen an increased level of firearms activity and involvement in regards to ongoing aspects of organized crime,” RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller said at the City of Kamloops police committee meeting on Monday, July 28. “A lot of those individuals, we’ve noticed, are coming from other areas — the Lower Mainland and Kelowna.” Mueller said gangsters remain a top priority for Kamloops Mounties. “We’re continuing to monitor that — and it’s related to gang activity,” he said. “Certainly, we’re continuing to monitor that and it remains a high priority for us.” For years, under then-Supt. Yves Lacasse, now external-affairs manager

for KGHM Ajax, Tournament Capital residents were told there were no gangs in town. Following a 2009 operation, in which local Mounties dismantled a Kamloopsbased cell of the Independent Soldiers street gang, Lacasse told gangsters they were not welcome. And, he said in the years that followed, gangs were unable to establish a foothold in Kamloops. According to Mueller, however, gangsters are ramping up their efforts — and they’ve been at work here in some capacity all along. “I would say we don’t have any established organized crime groups established here in Kamloops,” he told KTW after the meeting. “But, we’re seeing more and more where we’re seeing them reaching out into the community. “We don’t have the established clubhouse like they have in Kelowna for the

Hells Angels, but we are seeing organized crime groups reaching out.” Mueller said it’s not Hells Angels that are attempting to infiltrate the Kamloops drug market, but other Lower Mainlandbased gangs. “I’m not going to comment on the specifics, but I can say there’s several factions out of the Lower Mainland,” he said, pointing to a recent home invasion in Cherry Creek as an example. On July 3, four men were arrested on the New Afton mine site after allegedly robbing a house in Cherry Creek. They were found to have six guns in their possession, police said at the time. All three are from the Lower Mainland. “I can say that these organized crime groups, they are becoming more sophisticated,” Mueller said. “Some of it is intimidation, some of it is to send messages and some of it is to gain control of illegal activities and the drug trade that goes along with that.”

Kiosks to be panhandler-free zones? By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

City officials will look into whether the new downtown parking kiosks should be legislated off-limits for panhandlers — as is now the case with ATMs and bank entrances. Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association general manager Gay Pooler said the kiosks pro-

vide panhandlers with “a captive audience,” which she said is no different than ATMs and banks. “To me, it should be classified similar to an ATM,” she told the city’s co-ordinated enforcement meeting on Monday, July 28. “You’ve got your credit card out, you’re susceptible, you’re not going anywhere. I’ve had complaints.”

Mounties looking at adding to Car 40

Mayor Peter Milobar acknowledged it could be an issue. “If you’re standing there with change, it’s hard to say you don’t have any change,” he said. “It’s hard to say you’re standing there jingling your keys in your pocket.” John Ramsay, Kamloops’ bylawservices manager, said he’ll consider the parking-kiosk issue.

He told the meeting his staff is taking a different approach to panhandlers this year. “Yes, it seems to be up, but we’re really taking a different approach with it now,” he said. “We’re trying to record it and come up with a plan.” Ramsay said bylaw services is working on a pamphlet for downtown businesses and tourists to educate them

about panhandlers. In Kamloops, panhandling is not illegal. It is prohibited, however, within 10 metres of an ATM or bank entrance, bus stop, liquor store, movie theatre or church. It is also not allowed after dark. It is also illegal to panhandle when a person is stopped at a traffic light or loading or unloading a vehicle.

Ramsay said bylaw services hopes to identify problem panhandlers and take them to bylaws court, where a justice of the peace would place no-go orders on areas they’re known to ask for change. He said similar orders have recently been made regarding problem individuals at transit exchanges in the city.

Kamloops Mounties are looking into the possibility of adding a second full-time officer to deal with calls from people with mental-health issues. “One of the things that we’re considering is an area where we’re continuing to get increased demands, and we’re looking at creating a second position with Car 40,” Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller told the city’s co-ordinated enforcement meeting on Monday, July 28. ONLINE AT Mueller said Car 40 KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM responded to 362 calls in the last quarter — a nine Kamloops RCMP are per cent increase compractising evacuation pared to the same time techniques in the event last year. Launched in October of a wildfire in the 2012, the Car 40 program pairs a mentalTournament Capital. health nurse with an RCMP officer who has a background in dealing with people in mental distress. Mueller said the Interior Health Authority doesn’t have the resources to assign a second full-time nurse to the program, but a second officer would make use of an on-call mental health worker on evenings. He said the program has reduced the number of chronic callers to 911. “The people we’re dealing with have addictions issues, mental-health issues and housing issues,” Mueller said.

The president of the Kamloops and District Labour Council will seek a seat on city council in the Nov. 15 civic election, basing his campaign in part on strong opposition to the proposed Ajax mine. Peter Kerek announced on Monday, July 28, he will run for municipal election. A city transit driver, Kerek has two bachelor degrees and is a married father of two young daughters. A self-described “progressive,” he is also treasurer of the Kamloops Club of the Communist Party of Canada. “Ajax mine is a big issue for me personally and for so many people I talk to,” Kerek told KTW. “They want to see people

on council like Tina Lange and Donovan Cavers say, ‘This is a bad idea and we’re opposed.’” Kerek said the environmental and health costs of the mine are high and he sees little long-term benefit, adding he believes it will turn Kamloops into a “mining town.” “And mining towns become ghost towns,” he said. But, Kerek added, his campaign is about more than KGHM’s proposed mine south of Aberdeen. He said council needs to be concerned with issues that include poverty and the wealth gap, rather than confining itself to traditional areas of land use and bylaws. Kerek said he was traditionally more interested in federal and provincial politics, but noted downloading by senior levels of government to the local level

means civic politicians have to step up. “Some group of responsible individuals needs to step in and fill in the cracks the federal and provincial governments have opened,” he said. The Kamloops and District Labour Council recently sent questionnaires to those intending to run for election in November and expects to endorse some candidates. Kerek said he will seek that endorsement, but is otherwise completely removed from the process. Aside from Nancy Bepple, who stepped down from council earlier this year due to health concerns, all incumbent council members are seeking re-election. Also running for a council seat is Dieter Dudy, who ran for mayor against Peter Milobar in 2011.

While attending Simon Fraser University, Weiss began volunteering with Save a Childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heart (SACH), an Israel-based charitable foundation that provides heart surgery to children from developing countries regardless of their religion or ethnicity. Weiss is the young leadership director, overseeing volunteers who come from around the world to the hospital, and also does public relations. Israel began a major offensive on the Gaza Strip on July 8, following the murders of three Israeli teens and a revenge killing of a Palestinian teen. More than 1,000 Palestinians and 46 Israelis have died. Ironically, as rockets are fired from Gaza, surgeons at the Wolfson Medical Centre in Holon may be operating on children

from the Palestinian regions of Gaza and the West Bank. Despite her heritage and newly minted Israeli citizenship, Weiss retains her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sense of lawyerly balance, tempered with a Canadian view of events. She sympathizes with her fellow Israeli citizens, as well as those in Gaza, but has no empathy for Hamas, the militant political party in power in Gaza. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The initial acts of murder were obviously atrocious,â&#x20AC;? she wrote to her friends back home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, so were the reactions from the citizens of Israel and religious groups. I had a flashback to the Vancouver riots in 2011 following the Stanley Cup playoffs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a similar feeling of disgust, shame and embarrassment.â&#x20AC;? Weiss is now splitting her time between living with her partner at a Kibbutz (communal community) in the north and working three

days a week out of the Wolfson Centre, near the centre of daily chaos. While there, as many as three times a day she is forced into safe areas, where reaction can range from calm to chaotic. Her worst experience was on a bus between Holon and Tel Aviv. When rocket fire began, the bus driver ordered everyone out. Passengers sought shelter behind a south-facing concrete wall. Israelis would at times linger outside while sirens blare, some waiting to see a bit more of the World Cup, chatting about everything but the conflict. In this case, however, panic ensued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re around people used to it, you act like they do,â&#x20AC;?

Despite fears, Weiss will remain in Israel X From A6

On one side, a woman covered her ears, screaming “enough already!” On the other side, a father frantically tried to protect his two children. A police officer draped a bullet-proof vest over one, while the father went on all fours and blanketed the other with his body. “The older of the two was crying and the younger one was asking her father again and again why he was sweating and if he could please stop sweating,” Weiss wrote. “We watched the Iron Dome rockets intercept the Gaza rockets and waited for the sirens to stop as the smoke drifted away.” The best experience was while en route to the bus stop in Holon. When the sirens sounded once again, Weiss and others fleeing the street ducked into the basement of a corner store. Following two loud booms — signalling interception by Israeli rockets — Weiss said the restaurant owner broke out a crate of Fanta for all to enjoy. “His cheers went something like, ‘To rockets that never land and beautiful women I’ll never meet.’ “We all sat for an extra five minutes drinking orange juice and making fun of the situation.” Weiss said her Facebook page and the hospital’s webpage have been hacked with messages of hatred. Despite her fortitude, she admits to being afraid. But, her commitment to Save a Child’s Heart and her partner in Israel are keeping her there during the conflict. Weiss has no plans to come home to Kamloops, but admits she wouldn’t want to raise a family in Israel under current conditions. Her Canadian background is a topic of conver-

sation for Israelis she meets, many of whom can’t understand why she remains. “What are you still doing here?” is a common refrain. “You have options.” Weiss said most citizens acknowledge the conflict, but don’t dwell on it. “Over the weekend, there were 300 rockets in Israel and probably more weddings,” she wrote to her friends. “We went to a Bat Mitzva and a birthday party and, at the birthday party, had to leave the apartment twice with sirens. “But, in the absence of any serious injuries or issues, it just makes things more memorable. “The camaraderie and resourcefulness here in Israel will take your breath away. “So will the humour and zest for life — even in such trying times.”

WASHINGTON — Every Palestinian civilian’s death costs Israel in its fight for world opinion, but the Jewish state must not cede its security for the sake of public relations, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said as he pressed his nation’s case on American newscasts on the weekend. In a phone call later on Sunday, July 27, U.S. President Barack Obama told Netanyahu the United States is growing more concerned about the rising Palestinian death toll and the worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza. The White House said Obama reiterated that Israel has a right to defend itself and condemned Hamas rocket attacks that have killed Israelis, but pushed for an immediate cease-fire. Making his case to an American audience, Netanyahu said Palestinians are trying to shape global opinion with images of piled-up, slain civilians. “We’re telling the civilians to leave, Hamas is telling them to stay,’’ Netanyahu said in satellite interviews

from Israel. “Why is it telling them to stay? Because it wants to pile up their own dead bodies. “They not only want to kill our people, they want to sacrifice their own people.’’ A Palestinian official countered that Israel’s actions are unjustified. “The Israeli aggression on Gaza does not bring peace to Israel,’’ said Mohammad Shtayyeh, minister of the Palestinian Economic Council for Research and Development. The 20-day war has killed more than 1,030 Palestinians, mainly civilians, according to Palestinian health officials. Israel has lost more than 40 soldiers, while two Israeli civilians and a Thai worker in Israel were killed by rocket and mortar attacks from Gaza. The White House said Obama told Netanyahu the United States is committed to Israel’s security, but civilians must be protected and Gaza’s humanitarian crisis must be addressed. Obama said a sustainable ceasefire must be negotiated to allow Palestinian civilians in Gaza to return to normal lives.

When do we stop blaming the past for our actions today?

T IS EASY TO LOOK AT A man like Donald Isadore and wonder why he is not simply tossed in a jail cell for the rest of his life. The 64-year-old is not a serial killer, nor is he a violent criminal prone to perpetual recidivism. He is, however, a man with an apparent affinity for (addiction to?) gambling, one so strong that driving while prohibited and killing a woman was not grave enough to make him finally realize he has a serious problem that needs serious help. Even after taking the life of an innocent woman and creating unimaginable anguish for her family, Isadore flaunted the law and drove while prohibited — again and again. Isadore drove into Valerie Brook on the night of Nov. 21, 2012. Isadore was driving while prohibited — for the umpteenth time — when the vehicle he borrowed from a friend struck and killed the 66-year-old Brook, who was in the crosswalk at Victoria Street and Sixth Avenue. The location is right out front of Lake City Casino, a constant destination for Isadore. On the night he killed Brook while driving when he was banned from doing so, Isadore was serving a jail sentence, on weekends, for driving while prohibited. In fact, Isadore, at 64, has never in his life held a valid permanent driver’s licence, but that has not stopped him from driving at will — and treating almost three decades’ worth of prohibited-driving convictions as insignificant speed bumps on his way to fulfilling

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom MUSINGS whatever need he has, be it gambling or otherwise. Case in point: After he drove the vehicle into Brook as she crossed the downtown street, after she flew up to 31 feet in the air and died on the cold, wet pavement, Isadore was caught driving while prohibited two more times as he fed his need to get down to the casino. To the credit of Lake City Casino security guards, it was they who called police when they saw Isadore arrive by vehicle to the casino only 44 days after he struck and killed Brook — and again four days after that. As a result of striking and killing Brook, Isadore was charged with failing to yield to a pedestrian. As a result of his following two visits to the casino via vehicle, he was charged with two counts of driving while prohibited. For those three offences, Isadore was sentenced last week to six months in jail and handed a three-year driving ban. The former will keep him off the road for about a half-year; the latter seems to be a penalty on paper only, if past behaviour is an indication. During sentencing, Isadore blamed

dark and rainy conditions on the night he struck and killed Brook, when the blame for her death lies on his decision to break the law and drive a vehicle. Isadore is also dealing with abuse suffered when he attended residential school as a youth, a point noted by his lawyer during sentencing. Perhaps a horrible experience in residential school can explain the path on which Isadore has travelled. It would account, perhaps, for his gambling problems and any other disorders he may have. It may account for why Isadore began on the route he chose. But, it is far too easy to continue to blame the past for present actions. Being abused in a residential school or enduring a dysfunctional home life is not the reason Isadore decided to repeatedly disregard the law until the day one of those decisions led to the death of Brook. Many people walk through this life bearing untold scars from youth. At what age do we stop attempting to mitigate decisions of today by citing hardships of many yesterdays? At what age do we decide to accept what has happened in the past, seek whatever help is available and begin making decisions — right and wrong — in the here and now, without leaning on a decades-old crutch. That age is now. As Clarence Louie, refreshingly progressive chief of the Osoyoos Indian Band, has so famously been quoted: “If your life sucks, it’s because you suck. Quit your sniffling. Get on with it.” editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

No, you did not inherit an African king’s loot Nearly every week, we receive phone calls from readers, complaining about the latest computer or telephone scam. Many of us have become wise to the ploys and disregard the e-mails and phone calls. However, clearly the scams still work, to a certain degree, or they would not continue to be used. Most e-mail services are very good at detecting the electronic scam artists, sending such letters directly to the junk pile. All that said, with our aging population, it is worth the reminder. These scam artists specifically target the elderly because the elderly are easy prey. They are typically more naive when it comes to computer knowledge, and thereby more likely to believe an e-mail sent to their address is indeed a call out to them from a long-lost relative in Nigeria. To the younger generation, that may sound gullible. But, the elders in our society were raised in a more honest environment, where if someone asked for help, you believed they needed help. In many ways, it’s an enviable attitude and one that is fading fast. So, here are a few tips to our elderly neighbours — a few red flags to watch for when considering who is asking for your help. 1) When checking your e-mail, disregard anything from Nigeria, Somalia or any other country, unless you have direct relations with said country and recognize the name of the sender. 2) You did not win any money in a foreign lottery. The oldest marketing line in lotteries applies here: You can’t win if you don’t buy a ticket — and you did not buy a ticket. 3) That service call from Telus, warning that your computer has been hacked, is not a service call from Telus. This scam is not only the most prevalent currently, but also the easiest to dismiss. Telus does not make unsolicited service calls. You call them if you have a problem. The next time a “Telus” or “BC Hydro” or “Revenue Canada” employee calls you to tell you your computer has been hacked, follow these easy steps: 1) Put the phone down. 2) Go for lunch. They will be gone by the time you return.

THIS WEEK Speak up You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Water-park idea floated again for Kamloops:

“I thought this was a great idea from the beginning and was disappointed when the water park didn’t go in. Kamloops is losing a massive amount of potential business to Vernon’s Atlantis waterslides. It would be an excellent draw for tourism, especially with the KXA next door.” — posted by twelfthnight “Sedric’s can never die! “But, if people want to invest, I say go ahead. Kamloops needs a nice tourist spot.” — posted by John “Private development paying rent to the city. An area for farming and picnics. Sounds good to me.” — posted by Tyler “The only thing I care about when it comes to this or any development is that it is 100 per cent funded by private investors. Absolutely no money from any level of government.” — posted by poleman

History filled with modified foods

Editor: During recent weeks, KTW has published several letters from readers who vehemently oppose genetically modified foods and aren’t too fond of the use of chemicals in the production chain. Currently, there are about 1.5-million species of animals extant and about a half-million species of plants. Were we to include extinct species and micro-organisms the number would likely double and, surprise, surprise — all of them are genetically modified. Excepting for the original, extremely simple life form, every animal and plant accorded the designation “species” is genetically different from the rest. For billions of years (the first deposits indicating life is over three-billion years old), Mother Nature was in charge of genetic modification through the process of evolution — and frankly, she could

have done a much better job. We don’t need hemlock, stinging nettle or poison ivy, and we don’t need smallpox, amoebic dysentery or eyebrow lice. Thankfully, for the past 10,000 or so years, humans using animal husbandry and agronomy have made huge strides in feeding the hungry, such as the hardy wheat grown in Western Canada and the various breeds of livestock found on ranches and dairy farms.

Nobody complains about Holsteins or Black Angus cattle as having been genetically modified, but they are, and nobody complains about flour made from Selkirk wheat. The intent of this letter, however, is not to merely point out the obvious. It’s to remind people the world we live in is overpopulated (approaching eight billion) and we have long since passed the point of going back to good old Ma and Pa mixed farming.

In the last 100 years, Canada alone has gone from a population that was 90 per cent rural to one that is 90 per cent urban. Worldwide, 90 per cent of the Earth’s arable land is under cultivation and the remainder (mostly the Sub-Sahara and Amazon Basin) will require huge amounts of fertilizer to sustain crop production. Every day, hundreds of millions of people go to bed undernourished. Every year, millions of people, many of them children, either starve to death or die from dehydration caused by the lack of potable water. We need to address this larger problem and we don’t have the luxury of having a lot of time to pontificate about the methodology — if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says it’s OK, let’s save some lives.

Jake’s family On strike? Where are the pickets? says thank you Editor: I want to send out a thank you to the ladies who stopped and helped Mr. Jake and I on July 22 at the corner of York Street and Eighth Avenue as I held him while sobbing. We are grateful for your assistance. A special thank you to the nurse who drove us home, too. Mr. Jake was my son’s black Jack Russell. He loved us all. To the person who hit him, you probably did not know you hit him. Mel Webber Kamloops

Editor: Re: July 22 letter to the editor (‘Teacher speaks out on lack of pickets’): Letter writer and teacher Dawn Aziz claims if teachers had kept up picket lines, it would begrudge them a summer break. She also claims the government locked them out, which is true, but her union then called for a full strike. I don’t know of any union that has been on strike, then pulls down its picket lines so members can have a vacation. She claims teachers are paid for 10 months, September to June. I guess she forgot about two weeks off at Christmas and one week at spring break — not bad, 10 months’ pay for nine months’ work. She also does not touch on the outrageous benefit demands of teachers. What really has become a joke is the fact they claim they are doing it for the kids. The only kid I see is standing at the front of the class, disguised as a teacher. Robert Alexander Kamloops

Teachers greed must be stopped

Editor: B.C. is not the only province dealing with greedy teachers. The last signed teachers’ contract in Newfoundland and Labrador expired on Aug. 31, 2012. The government and the Newfoundland Teachers’ Federation have been negotiating ever since. Talks expired as both sides are too far apart and mediation is out of the question. The last signed contract in Saskatchewan expired on Aug. 31, 2013. The teachers’ federation has negotiated two contracts with the Saskatchewan government since, advising teachers to vote yes on the contract proposals. Both times, teachers ignored the federation’s request. The epidemic of this teachers’ greed must stop or students will not be reporting for school in September in B.C., Saskatchewan and Newfoundland.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Confidential informantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; alerted authorities to cross-border poacher, court told By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The ongoing trial of a Kamloops man accused in the 1999 cross-border poaching of a record-setting Dall sheep underscores an issue plaguing our territorial neighbours to the north â&#x20AC;&#x201D; B.C. hunters illegally killing Yukon animals. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s according to a man whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spent the last 35 years patrolling the Yukon wilds for illegal hunting. Kris Gustafson, a conservation officer based in Whitehorse, was the lead investigator in putting together the case against Abe Dougan, the Kamloops man facing a dozen federal wildlife charges alleging he illegally killed a record-setting Dall sheep in the Yukon 15 years ago. Gustafson said B.C. hunters authorized to hunt big game in parts of B.C. adjacent to the Yukon routinely cross the territorial border and kill animals in the Yukon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a concern for us,â&#x20AC;? Gustafson, who is now director of conservation-officer services for Environment Yukon, told KTW outside court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have concerns respecting any illegal harvesting of wildlife â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big one.â&#x20AC;? Gustafson told court he was the driving force behind a Yukon conservation campaign in the 1980s to keep B.C. hunters in their own province. That included a program that set up signs along the border and on the shores of float-plane-friendly lakes warning hunters they were no longer in B.C. That program, Gustafson said, is still in operation. Court has heard Dougan in 1999 received special authorization via lottery to hunt sheep â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a limited-entry hunt â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in a specific part of northwestern B.C. between the Yukon and Alaska borders. He bagged a record-setting Dall sheep, which was the second-largest ever recorded in B.C. The score made its way into the pages of the fifth edition of Big Game Records of British Columbia when it was published in 2003. In 2011, conservation officials in the Yukon received a tip from a confidential informant telling them to look closely at the B.C. record book â&#x20AC;&#x201D; specifically at the picture of Dougan with his record sheep. The tipster said the photo was taken in the Yukon. A mapping specialist with Environment Yukon then created a three-dimensional computer model of the Yukon mountains and searched until he found what looked like the matching spot. In July 2011, a team of three investigators, including Gustafson, flew by helicopter to the site, 18 kilometres north of the B.C./Yukon border. They took photos from what the Crown says is the exact location the photographer who shot Douganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s picture would have been standing. The Crown contends the mountains depicted in the backgrounds are identical and prosecutor Lesley Ann Kilgore called the area â&#x20AC;&#x153;uniqueâ&#x20AC;? geographically. Court has heard Dougan, after killing the sheep, was required to tell B.C. officials where it was killed. He gave them a location in the section of northwestern B.C. where he was authorized to hunt. Defence lawyer Kevin Church has questioned the authenticity of the photos and the fact investigators failed to visit the location where Dougan FUTURE SHOP â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Correction Notice We would like to clarify the "SAVE up to $20 on select Case-Mate cases" promotion (WebID: 10290673/ 10290671/ 10262247/ 10290674/ 10262244) advertised in the July 25, page 11.

Province defends shift in water bombers By Jeff Nagel

A petition with almost 20,000 signatures on it is headed to Premier Christy Clark’s office asking her to reinstate the Martin Mars water bombers in the province’s wildfirefighting arsenal. Black Press photo

BLACK PRESS

jnagel@blackpress.caThe provincial government is defending its unpopular decision to halt B.C.’s use of the veteran Martin Mars water bombers in favour of newer aircraft to fight wildfires. The B.C. Wildfire Management Branch responded as campaigners obtained 19,204 signatures on a petition urging the premier to reinstate the 1940s-era amphibious plane. Organizer Chris Alemany planned to deliver the petition to Premier Christy Clark’s constituency office in West Kelowna, where residents had been under evacuation order from the Smith Creek wildfire. Critics argue the province is spending more money to get less firefighting service than it had with the famous Martin Mars planes. B.C. instead has contracted the use of four Air Tractor Fire Boss water-scooping amphibious planes from the Conair Group of Abbotsford for $2.5 million per season. The much smaller aircraft can operate from more than 1,700 lakes, compared to 113 with the Mars. The new planes can also drop water, foam or retardant on a fire, with an ability to

deliver 3,025 litres on a sevenminute turnaround, compared to 19,000 litres with the Mars on a 19-minute round trip. The branch said in a statement the new Fire Bosses delivered fire suppressant twice as fast during the recent West Kelowna fire — 586,000 litres in 11.3 hours — as the Martin Mars dropped during the 2003 Kelowna fire. Today, there’s only one Martin Mars left in the province, owned by the Coulson Group on Vancouver Island. According to the province,

it offered the firm an “as when needed” contract for the 2014 fire season, but received no response. The government statement noted the Mars engines are prone to breakdowns, while if one Fire Boss breaks down, the other three can stay in service. Separate planes can be split up to attack multiple targets at once, which officials say is useful in fighting a series of fires after intense lightning. The Mars, meanwhile, has a large drop pattern the branch

said can make it unsafe to use close to ground crews, who must stop work during a drop, risking the escape of a fire that could have been contained during the initial attack phase. The province also uses various other air tankers and helicopters in fighting fires. More than 100 helicopters are in use around the province. The province brought in an additional 153 firefighters from Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick this month, joining 350 other out-of-province personnel.

Project aims at IT jobs Alberta breaks salary freeze, gives for those with autism managers seven per cent boost By Bill Graveland CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Organizers of a pilot project say the very factors that pose challenges for people with autism could be qualities that help them excel in the information technology sector. The project in Calgary aims to train and find jobs for individuals with autism to carry out software testing as well as to oversee quality assurance and data verification. The federal government recently allocated $150,000 to the Sinneave Family Foundation and Autism Calgary’s not-for-profit organization, Meticulon, for the project. “At the moment, only about 20 per cent of individuals who have autism spectrum disorder are employed. We think in the next 10 years we can double that number,’’ said Tom Collins, president of the Sinneave Foundation. “We look for people who are comfortable with repetitive types of tasks, who have a real attention for detail, individuals who are comfortable doing the same thing and being very precise about it. “If you and I do data entry all day long, we have about a four to five per cent error rate. Someone on the spectrum with the kinds of skills we need will have a negligible error rate.’’ “People with autism, many have precise attention to detail and the ability to focus for much longer periods of time,’’ added Dr. Margaret Clarke, senior vice-president and scientific adviser for the Sinneave Foundation. Autism disorders are characterized by social and communication difficulties, stereotyped or repetitive behaviours and interests and, in some cases, cognitive delays. The Western Economic Diversification office predicts that by 2016 Canadian employers will need to hire some 106,000 IT workers. That’s expected to pose a significant recruitment challenge. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in 68 children in communities in the United States were identified with autism spectrum disorder in 2013. The report said the disorder is almost five times more common among boys compared to girls. The pilot project is scheduled to last for one year.

EDMONTON — The Alberta government acknowledged Monday, July 28, that it broke its promise to freeze salaries for top managers and has instead given them seven per cent raises. That will boost salaries for top civil servants to more than $300,000 a year by 2016. Government spokeswoman Jessica Jacobs-Mino said while the government promised in 2013 to freeze salaries for three years, things changed this spring when the government struck a deal with the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees. That deal provides a $1,850 lump-sum payment and a 6.75 per cent salary increase over three years. Jacobs-Mino said the government’s standard practice has been to give the same deal to managers as that given to unionized staff. “We’re looking at treating all public servants fairly here,” said Jacobs-Mino. “It’s crass politics to try to pit one level of public servant against another. “We value them all, and we treat them all fairly.” The government was not legally bound to boost the salaries of senior managers, but “it’s consistent with what we’ve done in the past,” she said. The union represents rankand-file employees from pris-

The deal also increases pay for leaders of foreign trade offices, including former MLA and one-time Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Gary Mar. The latest government annual report shows Albertans paid more than $560,000 in pay and benefits last year for Mar’s work in Hong Kong as Alberta’s trade representative. Wildrose finance critic Rob Anderson said the decision puts to rest any notion that the culture of entitlement that has plagued the Tory government was all Redford’s fault. “It’s just the blatant dishonesty,’’ said Anderson. “How many times do they think they can just flat out lie to Albertans about what they’re going to do, and that Albertans are just going to forget about it?’’ Union president Guy Smith said the decision is ironic given that “the same people who sat across the bargaining table from us, who tried to legislate wage freezes and strip us of our right to arbitra-

tion . . . have now taken the same wage deal they fought to keep from their own front-line staff.’’ The PC party is currently in a leadership race. A vote for a new leader and premier is in September. Candidate Ric McIver, former infrastructure and transportation minister, said he is “very disappointed” by the wage hike. “When you make a promise, you keep it,” said McIver, who left cabinet so he could run for the leadership. Former cabinet minister Thomas Lukaszuk and onetime Calgary MP Jim Prentice are also running. They could not immediately be reached for comment. Fighting a culture of entitlement is a central plank in the platforms of all three candidates. Redford was found to have used untold amounts of government money to finance activities to benefit herself and her inner circle. She resigned in March ahead of a caucus and party revolt over her spending.

on guards to social workers. It ratified a new contract last month after more than a year of bitter debate with and court action against the province. Under former premier Alison Redford, the government stripped the union of its right to arbitration and passed a law imposing an austere wage deal to help balance the budget. That law was put on hold by a judge and ultimately rendered moot when a negotiated deal was reached. To show it was serious in keeping salaries lean, the province also announced in February 2013 that it would freeze the salaries of all top managers. “Our government is leading by example,” Finance Minister Doug Horner said in a news release at the time. But, the Opposition Wildrose party revealed documents on Monday showing that cabinet quietly approved the senior manager pay increases last week. No government news release was issued.

RED DEER — Police say a member of the B.C.based Red Scorpions gang and three associate members have been arrested in central and southern Alberta. Search warrants executed in Airdrie, Red Deer and Calgary last week focused on the gang’s drug-trafficking operation and its infiltration of the Alberta market. Police say firearms and drugs were seized. They included a loaded semi-automatic handgun, a stolen shotgun with ammu-

nition, an illegal cocaine lab and various illegal narcotics. The Red Deer RCMP, the Airdrie RCMP, Calgary Police Service and the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) were all involved in the investigation. The Red Scorpions gang is alleged to have been involved in the mass shooting of six people in a highrise condo in Surrey, B.C., in October 2007. A verdict in that case is expected in October. Cory James Lesperance, 29 and originally from British Columbia, is

alleged to be at the centre of the drug-trafficking network in Alberta. He was arrested at a home just outside Red Deer and faces a total of 14 drug- and weapons-related charges. Three people police describe as Red Scorpions associates were arrested in Airdrie and Calgary. Robin Joseph Stewart, 52, faces eight charges; Nicholas David James White, 21, faces six charges; and Amber McLeod, 23, faces four charges. Police say there may be additional charges and arrests.

TORONTO — Deciding whether a child may have sustained a concussion while engaged in play or sport can be difficult because tell-tale symptoms may not show up right away. But a new online resource aimed at parents and coaches could help make that determination a whole lot easier. The Child & Family Research Institute at BC Children’s Hospital has launched a website called the Concussion Awareness Training Tool (CATT), which flags the warning signs of concussion and explains what steps need to be taken to diagnose and manage the all-too-common brain injury.

$10-bill had wrong image By Dean Beeby

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada is making a molehill out of a mountain. The central bank had claimed that its new plastic $10 bank notes included an image of majestic Mount Edith Cavell, a prominent peak in the Canadian Rockies south of Jasper, Alta. But a sharp-eyed professor in Toronto, who had hiked the mountain with his family, thought something was amiss when the image matched neither his memory nor his photos. Hitesh Doshi contacted the Bank of Canada by email last November, shortly after the new $10 notes were released, to say something was amiss. He kept getting the runaround until last week. That’s when the central bank quietly changed its website, removing Mount Edith Cavell and several other peaks from its official description of the back of the $10 bank note, replacing them with some other peaks. It also sent Doshi a short email, finally acknowledging the error. “One of the memorable things for me in Alberta was visiting [Mount] Edith Cavell,” he said of a visit with his family. “To us, it was a very memorable trip.”

But, when he later examined the $10-bank note, “the peak was not there,” said Doshi, a professor of architecture at Ryerson University and a new Canadian. “That’s where the whole thing started.” Doshi contacted a mountaineer based in Edmonton, Eric Coulthard, who noticed some other discrepancies in the images of peaks on the bank note. For one, there was a misidentified image of Mount Zengel, which the bank claimed was the Palisade and Pyramid mountains. “He recognized Zengel right off the bat,” said Doshi, who sent the bank some more unanswered emails in November and December. Eight months after Doshi’s original inquiries, the Bank of Canada finally removed Mount Edith Cavell and Mount Marmot from its website description of the upper left image of the mountains, saying they’re actually Lectern Peak and Aquila Mountain. Mount Zengel is also properly identified, along with some other changes. “I can confirm that we changed the description of the $10,” bank spokesman Alexandre Deslongchamps said on Monday, July 29. The mountain images on the back of the $10 note, which also features a passenger train, were

based on commissioned panoramic photographs, with images later cut and pasted to highlight certain peaks, rather than depict an actual panorama. “Selected areas within those photographs appear in the $10 design, and are now accurately identified on the bank’s website,’’ Deslongchamps said. The bank simply changed the website descriptions without a note to readers citing the alterations or the reasons. The Bank of Canada’s new polymer series of bank notes, introduced to thwart counterfeiters, has been plagued with problems and misunderstandings. Vending-machine operators initially complained that the new plastic $20 bills didn’t work properly in their machines. Critics complained that images of pioneering feminists, the Famous Five and Therese Casgrain, were removed from the old $100 bill. Some Canadians said they believed the scent of maple syrup was added to the bills, which the Bank of Canada denies. And the bank came under fire when it was revealed the image of an Asian woman on a prototype of the new $100 bank note was changed to look Caucasian when focus groups complained about her ethnicity. Then-Bank of Canada governor later apologized.

Arrest after alleged free beer for throwing eggs, tomatos at Ford CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A Toronto man has been charged after police say an online post urged people to throw food at Mayor Rob Ford during a party in a city park. Police say they became aware of an Internet post on a Toronto-based website that referred to the annual “Ford Fest” event to be held at an east-end park.

Friday, July 18, where the mayor shook hands, posed for pictures and signed autographs. Ford’s role as mayor has been largely symbolic since November, when city council stripped him of most of his power following his admissions of alcohol abuse and drug use during “drunken stupors.” He spent nearly two months in rehab earlier this year to tackle substance abuse problems.

It’s alleged the author of the post offered free beer to anyone who threw eggs or tomatoes at Ford. Police say Dilaz Rajwani, 37, turned himself in and is charged with counselling an uncommitted indictable offence. He will appear in court on Sept. 3. Hundreds of supporters and a handful of protesters showed up for the party on

Finance memo warns of Bitcoin-related crime CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A newly disclosed Finance Department memo warns that the high level of anonymity associated with Bitcoin transactions may make the virtual currency an attractive payment method for criminals. The internal memo, prepared for former finance minister Jim Flaherty,

said while the degree of criminal activity involving Bitcoin is unclear, some have raised flags about its potential to fund illicit activity. Bitcoin is a digital currency exchanged through computer transactions without oversight of a bank. The May 2013 memo to Flaherty, who died last April, was released under the Access to Information Act.

KENNETH WINSTON BALL

March 29, 1935 – July 23, 2014 It is with deep sorrow that we the family of Dolores Muriel (Dory) McPherson announce her passing on July 23, 2014 at Kamloops Hospice. Dory retired from a rewarding career with BC Provincial Corrections. After retirement, along with her husband Gordon, Dory volunteered for many years at the Red Cross. She had a passion for golfing and was an active member of the Kamloops Golf and Country Club spending many enjoyable hours golfing with friends. She liked gardening and kept a lovely yard. Her wonderful preserves will be greatly missed! Dory was a kind and generous soul, had a great sense of humor and was always a welcoming hostess to everyone that visited her home. She was dearly loved by all her family. Dory is survived by her loving husband Gordon; daughter Joy (Russ) of Kamloops, BC, and sons Calvin (Christie) of Port Moody, BC and Darryl (Natalie) of Yelm, Wash. Also, sisters Esther and June (Barry) of Moose Jaw, Sask. Dory had a special place in her heart for her ten grandchildren, Lee, Cari and Dori, Alli; Robynn, Rachel, Tamara and Natasha; Temra, Emmett. She was predeceased by her sisters Minnie (Gordon) and Armalene (Ivan) of Moose Jaw, Sask. The family wishes to extend their thanks to Dr. Hamilton and their heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated and caring staff at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home for all you did to bring peace and comfort to Dory during her last days. A Celebration of Life for Dory’s family and friends will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kamloops Hospice Association. =========== Gone yet not forgotten, although we are apart, Your spirit lives within us, forever in our hearts. May your soul travel light and swift onto your next adventure.

It is with great sadness that the family announces Ken’s passing at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops on July 23rd, 2014. Ken was born in Halifax, NS. He grew up in Vernon, BC, and went on to a career in engineering and mining. His career took him to places such as Esterhazy, Saskatoon, Flin Flon, Mica Creek, Nelson, Logan Lake and several other areas in BC. He leaves to mourn his life partner Sherry Clark, his daughter Tracey (Carl) and his granddaughters Erin & Kendra Williams. Also left to mourn are his step-children Stewart and Jodi Clark, and their children Jordyn, Jamie, Josh and Braiden. Ken was predeceased by his father Harry Walter in 1957, his daughter Christine Michelle in 1981 and his mother Margaret Bella in 1984 and most recently his Pal Schnauzer Barkley. Ken loved the outdoors and enjoyed all sports, especially camping, fishing, golfing, hockey and curling. In his leisure time he enjoyed building things and puttering around in the garden. His quick wit and sense of humour were enjoyed by all who knew him. He will be remembered by many for his years of volunteering for organizations including RCMP Speed Watch Program and the Kamloops Blazers. Ken was always there to lend a hand to neighbours and family. There will be a Celebration of Ken’s Life on Tuesday, July 29th, in the Oak Room at the Cottonwood Manor at 11:00 am. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the doctors and nurses in RIH intensive care unit for the special care Ken received.

BONATO It is with great sadness that we mark the sudden passing of Elio Severino Bonato on July 25, 2014 after a brief battle with cancer. Elio was born on October 19, 1933 in Treviso, Italy and immigrated to Canada in 1955. It was in Toronto he met and married the love of his life Maria Luisa. In 1977, the family moved to Kamloops and opened the European Bakery; no small endeavor for a painter from Toronto but through perseverance and hard work, the business thrived until he retired in 1993. It was here in Kamloops that he met the people who would become his lifelong friends and who would share his evenings with conversation, coffee and wine; that and golfing with his pals were pastimes he greatly enjoyed. He will be greatly missed by his wife Maria Luisa, his sons Giovanni (Laural-Lee) and Aldo, his grandchildren Tatiana, Lucas and Marcus, whom he never tired of spending time with. His familyin-law, Pietro, Carla and Mark Alberton and all his friends - you are too numerous to mention, the true sign of a loved man. A mass will be held at 11:00 am on Thursday July 31, 2014 at Sacred Heart Cathedral, 255 Nicola Street, Kamloops.

Each Loss ... Each loss is very diͿerent, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

THIS WEEK

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

AMLOOPS BRONCOS president Dino Bernardo got a special present from his team on his July 26 birthday — a dominant victory to open the 2014 B.C. Football Conference season. The Broncos defeated the Westshore Rebels handily — a 39-9 victory that came largely on the back of a dominant passing game. The tilt was Kamloops’ homeand-season opener and was played in front of 550 fans at Hillside Stadium. “I liked how we played in the second half. We came out and kind of took it to them” Kamloops head coach Duncan Olthuis said. “It was great with our offence and our defence. “Our D played great in that whole game and our offence — in the first half it was a little sloppy — we came together and we showed we could play and win as a team.” Both teams had tentative starts, trading short drives in the first quarter of play. It was the Broncos that would get on the board first, though, with the help of kicker Aaron Smit. Smit came out on a Kamloops third down to punt the ball to Westshore, but the Rebels received a roughing-the-kicker penalty on the play. Kamloops was given the ball back and Smit again came through, firing a 37-yard field goal through the uprights to put the Broncos up 3-0. The club never looked back, retaining the lead for the

rest of the game. Before the first quarter came to a close, defensive back Derek Trager intercepted a Westshore pass and brought it back to the Rebels’ 27-yard-line. After a Derek Yachison reception brought the Broncos to within inches of the goal line, quarterback Stephen Schuweiler called his own number, scoring on the quarterback sneak to put Kamloops up 10-0. It was the start of what would become a dominant

night for Schuweiler. After struggling in the air in the first quarter, the Kamloops quarterback came around in the second and gave the Rebels defence fits with his passing the rest of the evening. “At the start, he was a little nervous. He was kind of overthrowing,” Olthuis said of Schuweiler. “His first-half stats won’t look good for him. But, the second half, he came back out and played great.”

The Broncos’ pivot took responsibility for the offence’s early struggles. “The slow start was on me,” Schuweiler said. “The guys were running good and I just couldn’t hit a receiver. “But, we figured it out and got things rolling and put up 39 points so it was nice. It feels good.” In the second quarter, after Trager picked up his second interception of the night, Schuweiler found wide receiver Devin Csincsa

for the game’s second touchdown, putting Kamloops ahead 17-0. Kamloops would give up a safety to close out the first half and went into the dressing room leading 17-2. After Smit recovered the ball on a poorly-kicked punt, Yachison gave the Broncos a little room to breathe. Streaking down the right side of the field, the receiver who attended B.C. Lions’ training camp in June made a 44-yard reception and fought his way to paydirt to make the score 24-9. “I think the play that actually turned it around was Aaron Smit’s punt recovery,” Olthuis said. “That was an awesome play. “He was upset at the end, but he didn’t know that he actually recovered it.” Rookie Rudy Uhl extended the lead to 31-9, receiving a Schuweiler pass near his own 10-yard line and running the ball the length of the field. The 106-yard TD reception tied a BCFC record set in 1974. Running back Aaron Morran would make the game 38-9 with another touchdown before the end of the third quarter. Morran led the Broncos in rushing with 114 yards on 13 carries. With 475 yards, the Broncos led the league in total offence in Week 1. Smit added a single, putting a punt through the end zone. Kamloops and Westshore split their season series in 2013, with the Broncos later advancing to their first-ever playoff berth. The Broncos’ next game will be played on Saturday, Aug. 2, in Chilliwack against the Valley Huskers.

Heat fall short

Gold was not in the cards for the Kamloops Heat men and women at the Pacific Coast Soccer League (PCSL) Challenge Cup tournaments in Penticton on the weekend. Khalsa Sporting Club of Coquitlam won the men’s title with a 2-0 victory over Kamloops on Sunday, July 27, while the Peninsula Co-op Highlanders of Victoria won the women’s championship, topping Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2-0 in the final. The Heat women fell 4-0 to the Highlanders in semifinal play on Saturday, July 26. Kamloops’ men edged Abbotsford 4-3 in penalty kicks on Saturday to advance to the final. Justin Wallace scored twice for the Heat on Saturday and Abbotsford scored an own goal. Corey Wallis tallied from the spot for the Heat in the penalty-kick shootout.

WHERE’S THE BEEF FROM? By Jessica Wallace

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

IRST, CHOOSE whether you’re looking for a store, a restaurant or both. Then, choose a protein — beef, lamb, pork, bison, chicken, turkey, duck, etc. Finally, locate vendors that sell meat produced within British Columbia. The B.C. Meats phone app was launched at the Eat! Vancouver food and cooking show earlier

this summer and is free for use by Apple and Android users. Gillian Watt, programs manager of B.C. Meats for B.C. Markets, said the group created it because of consumer feedback. “The question that kept coming up again and again is, ‘Where can we buy local meats?’” she said. With about 500 businesses throughout the provinces listed so far, it is intended for those who would choose to purchase local meat in the grocery store or at a restaurant, but who may not know where to do so. “This phone app connects them,” Watt said. B.C. Meats for B.C. Markets does have a stake in the app — promoting its members product and charging $75 for basic listings. But, Watt likened the meat

here but does get finished out in the prairies and Alberta and is sent back out here as Alberta beef,” he said. About 20 per cent of the store’s product can be placed within 100 miles of Kamloops, including poultry from Colonial Farms in Armstrong and beef from Devick’s Ranch in Heffley Creek. “We do try and source as close as we can,” Mayes said. “It’s a hot ticket these days.” After eight years managing the store, he said he’s noticed customers have shown greater interest in where their food comes from. He attributes that to the documentary Food Inc., e coli scares that typically come from larger production plants and food-based television shows. He sees the app as beneficial to

industry to craft breweries, in the care and pride put into the product. “We have a great deal of very passionate producers around the province,” Watt said. “Everyone wants access to them, but they don’t know where to find them.” Summit Gourmet Meats is one of the Kamloops businesses listed on the app. Store manager Cole Mayes said between 75 and 80 per cent of the Sahali butcher shop’s meat is produced within B.C., including all of the pork, chicken and lamb. Some barriers, Mayes said, include finding halal meat demanded by the international student population at Thompson Rivers University and sheer demand on smaller producers. “A lot of the beef originates

both the store and consumers. “The quality is always excellent,” he said. “It adds more of a personal side to what you’re buying.” Watt added that money leaves the province every time a calf does, by the time its finished and processed. “If we keep that same calf in B.C. and we finish it . . . it’s good for our economy, its good for the producers,” Watt said. The association is expanding its database of producers to include a comprehensive directory throughout the province. A store or a restaurant serving local meat can go online to bcmeats.ca and subscribe. “Together, British Columbians need to all chip in and get this working well,” Watt said.

KTW reviews X Fest 2014

Bass: Stage design skillfully brings Alice in Wonderland to park By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The challenge with live theatre is it is impossible to, for example, make a character shrink, stretch and return to normal size — and then do it all over again. Skillful set design makes that image a reality in this year’s X Fest production of Alice in Wonderland. Check out the playbill and

you’ll learn four people — Gal Minnes, Royal Alice Mole, Jared Raschke and Rubin Arundel — are behind the magnificent set, with its neverending surprises, with Alice’s head popping up at the top while her legs slide out onto the stage itself. This is the first year Project X has been under the direction of Melissa Thomas and Heather Cant, but the pair has continued the recent move by the troupe to stage family-

friendly productions. Thomas picked the adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic because it lets her fulfil a childhood dream, one that saw her eschew the Disney princesses for the brave and curious Alice. Credit has to go to Kassidy Sxhaper-Kotter, an 11-yearold cast in the lead role, who finds herself on stage at Prince Charles Park with veteran — and much older — performers. Among them are Stefano

Giulianetti and Ella Simon, both of whom simply own the stage when they are on it. Close second has to go to Dusan Magdolen — particularly in the caterpillar scene. Thompson Rivers University theatre students Andrew Cooper and Kelsey Gilker are hilarious and Randi Edmundson has the biggest smile seen in the park in a long time — and that’s saying something, given it is usually the site of children playing.

Meanwhile, Christopher Seguin teaches Andrew Cooper about swordfighting as the king and prince during The Last of the Dragons. Both productions are part of this year’s X Fest. For more information, go online to projectxtheatre.ca.

CATCH THE SHOW

TICKETS: Alice in Wonderland alternates with The Last of the Dragons until Aug. 9. Tickets are at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250374-5483 or online at kamloopslive.ca. STAGE NOTES: Take a loonie and rent a cushion for the bleacher seating. Check out themed treats at intermission by Erwin’s Bakery. Keep your ticket stub to get a reduced admission to the Aug. 8 improv battle that follows that night’s production.

Wallace: The Last of the Dragons alive with impeccable casting By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A scene right out of a silent film perhaps best encompasses the playful spirit and storyline of Project X Theatre’s The Last of the Dragons. The characters run around the set, chasing each other in time to music during the first 10.375" X 2.857 act.

The princess, played by Ella Simon, is chasing a nervous and frantic prince, played by Andrew Cooper, in the antiDisney plot of a young woman who takes on the status quo. Two sidekicks and supporting actors add colour with their own sub-plot. TRU theatre student Kelsey Gilker is animated and hilarious as the princess’s nurse and

confidant, sneakily courting — and earning the spotlight — along with Stefano Giulianetti, as the prince’s valet. The well-executed scene in the first act makes full use of the set, built around a tree this year at Prince Charles Park and designed for two productions during this year’s X Fest. The dragon — Randi Edmundson — deserves praise

for parading around the stage equipped with a microphone, maneuvering several wide turns in front of the audience. Jaida Barker, the young storyteller, weaves the story together, while the king’s exuberant and comical stories are well-timed by Christopher Seguin. The show is an ideal family outing.

speaking 6 Myths about Gum recession

Myth #1: Once it’s gone ... it’s gone! False! The truth is that regeneration of new cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone (the supporting structures of a tooth) is possible. Most people think that, once the bone and gum Dr. Preety Desai are gone, they are gone forever. However amelogenin proteins (embryological building blocks of nascent teeth) have been used in regenerative periodontics for over 15 years to regrow hard and soft tissue, reversing recession naturally. Myth #2: Recession is just a gum disease ... false! The truth is that recession can be a disease of both hard and soft tissues. The reality is that the periodontium should be thought of as a system working together in harmony. The human body naturally strives to maintain a 1-3 mm sulcus/ pocket/relationship between the gum margin and base of attachment. Thus to have a good boney scaffolding around the tooth and supporting the gum is logically a good thing. Understanding the biology of the periodontium is critical in educating yourself on the truth about recession. Myth #3: Shallow pocket depths of 1s, 2s, and 3s means good health ... false! The truth is that pocket depth plus recession equals clinical attachment level (CAL), which is the MOST accurate method of assessment. While pocket depth measurements are a key part in the comprehensive periodontal evaluation, this is not the true picture when it comes to recession. Determining CAL is simple. Here is an example: 2 mm pocket plus 4 mm recession equals 6 mm CAL. Myth #4: Just watch it ... false! The truth is that early detection is the key to treating any disease, and you the patient, deserve to know your options for reversing recession. Hygienists & dentists were taught to treat symptoms of recession by using topical fluorides, desensitizing pastes/gels OR to cover up the recession with plastic white filling. All of these modalities simply monitor, manage and treat the SYMPTOMS of recession not addressing the true etiology of the disease. Myth #5: Recession is caused by toothbrush abrasion ... false! The truth is that recession often may have an etiology related to multifactorial aspects and not just aggressive tooth brushing. This means the role of a person’s individual biofilm/bacteria, their acidic saliva, clenching/grinding habits, tooth position, and history of orthodontic treatment can be associated in part or as a whole to the true cause of recession. Myth #6: The roof of the mouth is the only place to get graft tissue ... false! The truth is that the advent of plastic surgical research into grafting for burn victims has benefitted the periodontal field. Periodontists use smaller pieces of donor graft tissue to replace the roof of the mouth for donor tissue and we can cover roots and increase the thickness of the gingiva around teeth to prevent future recession that at least 6400 hours of their life has gone onto keeping you safe and healthy! It is important to take an interdisciplinary approach between the hygienist, general dentist, and periodontist to determine the individual needs of each patient and communicate as a team with the patient to understand the true cause of recession and a plan to reverse it. The earlier you catch recession - the more successful the treatment!

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Jim Byrnes will perform at the Salm Arm Roots and Blues Festival, held at the Salmon Arm fairgrounds from Aug. 15 to Aug. 17.

Byrnes heads Everywhere West Jim Byrnes has joined the lineup for this year’s Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. The veteran blues musician — born in the U.S. but having called Canada home for decades — started his musical career at age five, when he was plunked down in front of a piano. By 13, he was singing and playing the blues. Byrnes has performed with the likes of

Muddy Waters, Taj Mahal, Robert Cray and John Lee Hooker. Ten years ago, he joined forces with roots-music producer Steve Dawson and, since that time, the pair have turned out Fresh Horses, Juno Award-winning House of Refuge, My Walking Stick, Everywhere West, I Hear the Wind in the Wires and St. Louis Times, a trip through the music of his hometown.

Music wasn’t his own area of interest; Byrnes, a paraplegic after he was hit by a car while heaping someone push a stalled truck on a highway, also costarred in Wiseguy from 1987 to 1990 and Highlander from 1993 to 1998. The festival runs at the Salmon Arm fairgrounds from Aug. 15 to Aug. 17. For more information, go online to rootsandblues.ca.

New exhibitions, entertainment at Vancouver’s PNE this summer More than a century old, the Fair at the PNE is iconic to Vancouver in the summer, and it has added exhibitions this year, along with a hot summer concert series. Some of the new entertainment lineup includes a Game of Thrones exhibition, giving fans an inside look at the television show with an interactive experience and ToonCity, daily shows

of Tis Fun to Be a Pirate and Princess Jubilation for the kids. Other new exhibits include: Get Animated! Interactive Animation Exhibit, Mosaic Music Series, Just for Cats: Internet Cat Video Festival and YVR Fly Dome: A 360degree Global Travel Experience.

NUTRITION

Outside the box with kale, apricots By Simone Jennings, SPECIAL TO KTW

E HAD a staff potluck recently and the theme was local food. I had only remembered about the potluck at the last minute, so I missed my chance to plan and source ingredients for my contribution. Instead, I found myself wandering my kitchen, checking out my local foods and trying to figure out what I might be able to quickly create. I decided on two items: A bag of kale I bought at the farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market and some apricots picked from our backyard tree. Next, I turned to Google to see what recipes exist using these two ingredients. I gained inspiration from scrolling through a few salad recipes and decided to try a kale and quinoa salad with fresh apricots and nuts. Admittedly, the quinoa and nuts are not local, but my dish just needed to contain local ingredients â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so I was good to go! I substituted some ingredients with what I had on hand and made one of my favourite dressing recipes from the best cookbook, WhiteWater Cooks. The result was better than I had expected. I used apricots that were ripe but firm, and they held up well without turning to a mushy texture. The nice thing about kale is it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go soggy if it sits for an extended time with dressing on it, so kale salads can be made in advance and eaten several days in a row. It makes great leftovers for lunches. This salad is packed with nutrition. Apricots are a good source of vitamin C, beta-carotene and fibre. Kale is considered a nutrition powerhouse and is an excellent source of vitamins C, A and K. Quinoa is a source

KALE, QUINOA AND APRICOT SALAD Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa 1 Âž cups water 4 cups kale, washed and chopped 4-6 apricots, pitted and sliced Âź red onion, thinly sliced 2 tbsp. fresh basil, chopped 1/3 cup almonds or walnuts, chopped and toasted Â˝ cup feta cheese, crumbled 1-2 tsp. olive oil Directions: Rinse quinoa with a fine sieve, drain well. Combine quinoa with 1Âž cups water in a small-medium sized pot. Bring to a boil, stir, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 18 to 20 minutes. Fluff and allow to cool Choose apricots that are ripe but firm. Remove the tough spines from the kale before chopping into small pieces. Massage the chopped kale with a small amount of olive until thoroughly coated. Chop the nuts then toast them in a small frying pan stirring frequently. Combine all ingredients and toss with the dressing.

Lowering risk for Alzheimer’s, dementia

NE OF THE issues that comes up frequently is the fear people have that one day they will develop a dementia like Alzheimer’s disease. There may be dementia in their family tree and they may be noticing some forgetfulness in their stressful lives. What can you do? There is good news to bring some hope to people on this front. First, although the number of dementia cases is going up — because of the bubble of people in the babyboom generation reaching the age — where dementia is most often diagnosed — the percentages of people developing dementia is going down. Secondly, there have been exciting developments in the past two years revealing information on ways dementia

Crossword puzzles may help lower the risk of dementia.

are rich with fish, nuts, whole grains, olive oil and abundant fresh produce. 3. Mental stimulation: Crossword puzzles, reading and games of strategy are helpful, whereas television, passive activities are detrimental in high doses. 4. Quality sleep: At least seven or more hours of restful, uninterrupted sleep is recommended. Poor quality or not enough sleep is generally bad for vascular (and therefore brain health). 5. Stress management: Given we cannot avoid stress in our lives, we can learn ways to cope and can develop an attitude about stressful situations that

can be treated and maybe one day, cured. And, finally, there have been some great findings in dementia research about ways to slow down, prevent or delay onset of symptoms. There are generally six ways medicine has advised we can reduce our risk for dementia known as the six pillars of brain health. They are: 1. Regular exercise: The Mayo Clinic announced last week regular exercise of any intensity from midlife on can profoundly assist in prevention of dementia. 2. Healthy diet: Brain-healthy foods such as the Mediterranean Diet that

improves our brain-health prognosis. Yoga, meditation and exercise are clearly among the top methods. 6. An active social life: Having a rich circle of friends and sever-

al very close friends has been found to improve brain health and prevent dementia. Even a close relationship and the daily interaction with a loved pet has benefits for brain health.

The unwritten seventh pillar we talk about often in our column is to take steps to prevent brain injury. Wear a helmet, use seatbelts, take every precaution you can and make sure you take

steps to avoid repetitive small blows to the head, such as those caused by young people heading soccer balls. If there is a theme in these six items, it may be you need to be proactive and involved in the health of your brain. This strategy has obvious direct health benefits, but there are additional benefits that come from the attitude that one is doing everything one can to preserve their mental and cognitive health. Thank you for asking about this issue and, if you have a question or comment, feel free to pass it along to Kamloops@cmha.bc.ca and follow us on Twitter @CMHAKamloops.

Dodge lets loose with Challenger Hellcat By Rob Beintema

METROLAND MEDIA

omething wicked this way comes. “It’s the new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, the most powerful muscle car ever,” said Tim Kuniskis, president and CEO of Dodge Brand and SRT Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “With 707 horsepower and 650 poundfeet of torque, we have unleashed a true GT car with an all-new driverfocused interior, the TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission and the first supercharged Hemi engine Chrysler has ever produced. “The Challenger Hellcat has been released.” Fans of the Challenger have been crossing their fingers and holding their breath, awaiting the Hellcat’s arrival with only vague rumours swirling across the blogosphere, hints of a 600-plus horsepower. muscle car that just might surpass the icons of the past. Well, sometimes the wait is worth it. And sometimes the realiza-

tion of a dream is just as satisfying as the anticipation. I was reminding myself of that as I sat in the SRT Hellcat at the Portland International Raceway drag strip start line, about as full of anticipation as you can get. My breath sounded a little quick in my helmet. My eyes were glued to the “Christmas Tree” staged start lights. The vibration of monstrous power reverberated up my spine and tingled through my fingertips on the “T” shifter. I stabbed the launchcontrol button to begin the sequence. You hold the brake with your left foot, flatten the gas pedal with your right and, in theory, you have five seconds to release the car into a controlled, full-throttle blitz of acceleration. I probably bobbled the accelerator a little because the wheels broke loose from the launch-control algorithm and started to spin, the Hellcat HEMI shuddering and straining to release the power. A little sulphur and brimstone might be

fitting for the Hellcat, I thought, but I had to settle for the stink of smoldering rubber, the burning tires spinning and screaming like tormented souls at Satan’s all-eternity barbecue. And I let go. G-forces shoved me into deep into the seat as the Hellcat goosed forth like it had been

prodded with a pitchfork, roaring down the straightaway, the eight-speed automatic thunking through the gear changes, the walls and trees blurring, but only to the tune of a 12-second quarter mile at around 120 m.p.h. Shucks, I knew I could do better, but the SRT Hellcat was uncon-

cerned and in its element, both on the drag
