STEPHANIE FINDS IT REALLY IS A SMALL WORLD Story and photos

by Dave Eagles

STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com

W

HEN STEPHANIE Fowles first stepped foot on the hardwood floors of the repossessed house, she saw the big windows and floors and immediately felt the house could have kids in it.

“The bankers and realtors thought that it was a crazy idea,” Fowles recalls.

It didn’t deter her resolve to renovate and create what has become a legendary institution in Westsyde — Stephanie’s Small World — a place that has been a second home to so many Kamloops kids.

It began in 1978, in a modest split-level house, and evolved into a safe, fun day care for kids of various ages.

At the end of today (Aug. 1), Stephanie’s Small World will be closing.

When she told the kids and the parents about the closure, the children said they wanted to talk to her because she was going to sell the business.

“I said I had been sick and I thought [husband] Ken and I should have some time.”

Ken died in February, making this year challenging for Fowles.

He did all the repair work and together they spent untold hours in the centre.

“You get in here with the kids and you don’t have to worry about it for awhile,” Fowles said.

“I’ve been very lucky. It’s been a big family.

“The kids would say, ‘You know, you’re so lucky, Stephanie, because my mom has to go to work every day and you don’t ever have to go to work.’

“And I said, ‘You know, you’re right — because I have you.’”

She’s leasing the property to Bev Smerdal, who is buying the business and will re-open on Aug. 25 as Muddy Buddies.

Of the many special memories Fowles has, one in particular stands out.

Three weeks ago, a young girl brought in a baby and said, “I have orders from my boyfriend I had to bring this little girl in to see you.”

Fowles didn’t know the girl.

“So, she introduced me to the baby and she said, ‘This is Josh’s daughter.’”

I said, “You’ve got to be kidding. You’ve just made my day.”

“When Josh was little, he and I would have to dance every night before he went home from day care,” Fowles said.

“There was a certain song he liked and he would not leave until we danced together.

“He had his girlfriend put that song on her phone so I could dance with his daughter.”

When Fowles first opened Stephanie’s Small World, she didn’t think she would ever be able to tell these kinds of stories.

She now knows she can.

Stephanie Fowles (left) has sold well-known Westsyde day care Stephanie’s Small World.

It closes at the end of today (Aug. 1) and will re-open as Muddy Buddies on Aug. 25.

Kids and adults this week celebrated decades of caring for kids.

Supreme Court places limits on Mr. Big stings

By Cam Fortems

“The deceit employed was extensive. By preying on his vulnerabilities to such a degree, the police deprived H [Hart] of meaningful choice about whether to give an incriminating statement to Mr. Big,” the court said.

After his arrest, Hart’s first phone call from jail was to “Jim,” the undercover Mountie he considered his closest friend.

Micah Rankin, a law professor at Thompson Rivers University, said the ruling will place limits on Mr. Big scenarios, particularly threats of violence and violent overtones of the purported gangs.

The ruling also places a high burden for the Crown to enter Mr. Big confessions.

“It’s not a complete kibosh, but it will significantly limit when the Crown will be able to tender confessions and will also indirectly influence how police conduct investigations,” Rankin said.

Mr. Big confessions

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled the RCMP’s Mr. Big stings — what it called a “Canadian invention” — can still be used to elicit murder confessions, but it placed severe restrictions on its admissibility and police tactics that can be used.

The ruling on Thursday, July 31, means the conviction of Nelson Hart, a Newfoundland father of two twin girls who drowned, will be overturned.

The Crown’s key evidence was a confession that Hart — a socially isolated man with limited mental capacity — made to a purported criminal gang. The gang was in reality RCMP undercover officers who completed 63 scenarios involving Hart, who considered them his close friends.

It culminated in a confession to Mr. Big by Hart, who initially denied pushing his kids off a dock.

cannot be used in courts in England or the United States.

The court imposed a two-part test for Crown seeking to admit Mr. Big confessions in murder trials.

The first part states such confessions are now inadmissible unless the Crown can prove entry at trial outweighs the prejudicial effect on the accused. After meeting this test, the court must look at the confession’s details that only a killer would know — so-called holdback evidence that provides “powerful guarantee of reality.”

The court also said jurors could form a poor opinion of those on trial based on their willingness to work for a criminal organization, something that could influence a verdict.

Kamloops Law Courts have seen a number of Mr. Big trials, one of them as recently as this year. William Robert Smith was convicted of manslaughter and interference with a dead body

in connection to the death of Sandy Charlie.

In September 2011, construction crews working on Indian reserve land near Lytton dug up human remains, which were later determined through DNA sampling to be those of Charlie.

The remains included fractured bones.

In the spring of 2012, RCMP mounted an elaborate Mr. Big undercover operation.

Mounties gradually gained Smith’s confidence by bringing him into the supposed gang. Smith’s bogus tasks included providing security for a high-stakes poker game and loansharking.

Smith was told the gang valued “honesty and loyalty” above all else.

He later confessed to Mr. Big and took him to the spot where he buried Charlie’s body.

Other convictions in Kamloops include Brian Townsend, who murdered hitchhiking Quebec teenager Vivien Morzuch,

and Patrick Fischer, convicted of murdering Darcie Drefko. Both confessed to a Mr. Big. Rankin said he doubts the Supreme Court decision will allow those

convicted in the past to appeal because it is based on common law, rather than a Constitutional ruling.

“I don’t think it’s the kind of thing where you

HIV rate steady among gay, bisexual men

By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The head of ASK (AIDS Society of Kamloops) Wellness says a recent report showing the numbers of gay and bisexual men contracting HIV in B.C. as staying steady isn’t all that surprising.

Bob Hughes also said the Interior’s relatively low HIV figures are indicative of the lack of a large urban centre.

According to the report, released by provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall, the Interior of B.C. has a population

of 713,307, and saw 152 new HIV diagnoses between 2004 and 2012.

Of those, 49 were gay or bisexual men.

By comparison, Vancouver Island’s population of 738,252 saw 378 new cases between 2004 and 2012, with 114 affecting gay or bisexual men.

Even Northern B.C., which has a population of less than 300,000, had more cases than the Interior.

Of the 214 it reported between 2004 and 2012, 15 impacted gay or bisexual men.

“I think there’s a number of factors,” Hughes told KTW.

“Some of it is proportionate numbers you’d see in a large urban centre like Victoria — and Interior Health is incredibly large compared to Vancouver Island.

“The other piece is we don’t have the same level of an openly gay male population.”

But, Hughes said, things are changing.

“It’s seen an incredible renewal,” he said.

“I think that has allowed many gay men to be comfortable speaking about their community.”

Hughes said there is a significant community in Kamloops

of men who have sex with men, but do not identify as gay or bisexual.

They could be at an increased risk for contracting HIV because of the cloak-and-dagger way they go about arranging sexual encounters, Hughes said, noting many are married to or in committed relationships with women.

He said they set up encounters “under the belly” of the community — on Craigslist or by other classified means.

“The challenge that the social community and the medical community has been facing is how do

you reach that community that will not identify?” Hughes said.

“In that community, we see high rates of transmission.”

Hughes said ASK Wellness has taken to posting on Craigslist to make members of the community aware of its services, including free condoms, lubrication and testing.

According to Kendall’s report, the overall B.C. population saw 3,103 new cases of HIV between 2004 and 2012.

Of those, 1,507 — or 49 per cent — were gay or bisexual men.

Chase man identified as victim of July 17 fatal crash The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died in a head-on collision near Pritchard on July 17.

John Findlay Linklater, 58, of Chase died when the eastbound pickup truck he was driving collided with a westbound semi-trailer on Highway 1.

The crash occurred at just past midnight.

Linklater was the lone occupant

of his truck.

The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate the death.

Lake, about 19 kilometres northeast of Kamloops, and went down to the lake to cool off in the water, where he was seen to be in distress.

Family and neighbours were able to rescue him from about five metres of water and he was transported Royal Inland Hospital.

He died in hospital several hours later.

The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate the death.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced.

“The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small.

I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.”

Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.”

Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home.

The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Armed robber gets fine, probation

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A 35-year-old Chase man who held up a North Kamloops convenience store in what a prosecutor called a “non-confrontational way� has been given a $500 fine and placed on one year of probation by a provincial court judge.

Douglas Piggot pleaded guilty on Thursday, July 31, to possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

The Crown dropped a robbery charge in exchange

for the plea.

Prosecutor Chris Balison said Piggot walked into the Hasty Mart on Eighth Street on July 8, 2013, and produced a knife at his side, calmly asking the clerk for money from the till. “Everything is calm,� Balison said of the scene. “The clerk describes it as nonconfrontational, other than a single request.�

The clerk can be seen on the video backing away to another room, Balison said.

She pushed a holdup alarm.

Piggot waited for some time and then could be seen on video leaving, then driving away in this truck. He was arrested a short time later.

Defence lawyer John Hogg said Piggot has no criminal record. He suffered from mental illness beginning in his teens and lives on a provincial disability of $900 a month. “It’s not an event that scared the heck out of the clerk,�

Hogg said.

A psychiatric report was entered showing Piggot’s

limited education and depression issues.

He is considered at low-risk of offending unless he drinks.

Judge Roy Dickey agreed with a joint submission from the Crown and defence for the fine and probation.

The probation terms include that Piggot not drink.

He must also attend three Alcoholics Anonymous meetings a week. “It gives him a regular way to connect with other people and support his efforts not to consume alcohol. It’s such an

Wastewater-plant ‘fires’ are actually flares Those “fires� you see down on Mission Flats are not what they seem to be.

Kamloops Fire Rescue has recently responded to multiple calls for “grass fires� or “trees on fire� in the Mission Flats area.

In fact, the City of Kamloops has confirmed residents are actually seeing flares from the wastewater-treatment plant.

The plant has recently undergone

extensive upgrades and is now nearing completion. Part of the upgrades included covering of one of the pretreatment anaerobic ponds, done in order to minimize odour complaints and capture naturally produced methane gas.

Methane is very odorous and classified as a greenhouse gas that, upon its direct release to the atmosphere, is 20 times more harmful to

the depletion of the ozone layer than carbon dioxide.

The flaring (or burning) of methane helps to significantly lower atmospheric emissions.

A flare system was commissioned on July 11.

It burns the captured methane gas 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and can be seen during low light conditions.

These flares are what are being mistaken as fires in the area.

Organizers acted admirably in face of sudden death

N

O AMOUNT OF TOILET paper nor hand sanitizer could have prepared me for the first Pemberton music festival back in 2008.

In returning to the festival grounds six years after the inaugural event, however, I was prepared to join tens of thousands of humans rock out in a field to the likes of Nine Inch Nails, Metric and the Olsen twins’ former on-screen father — and off-screen comedian pervert — Bob Saget.

Coolers and ice blocks were lined with Tupperware of all shapes and sizes, organized and labeled by the meal, condiment and side dish.

It didn’t matter. All of the preparation went out the window as quickly as you can say Taco Justice — three times in 24 hours.

The additional preparation was warranted, nonetheless, because of uncertainty surrounding the event.

The inaugural festival was fun, but it was also chaotic.

Intended to be a world-class event held annually, it was plagued by a number of problems, including overcrowding, traffic congestion and lack of security.

It was so disorganized that a paying attendee called me from the event, urging me to drive there and just walk in.

And, upon rallying a small group, I walked into the festival and watched Coldplay, Tom Petty and Jay Z while camping with my pals — for free.

The event was subsequently canceled in 2009 and in 2010.

I’ll take part of the blame.

Six years later, a new organizer — New Orleans-based Huka

JESSICA WALLACE Generation

GAP

Entertainment — announced it had resurrected the festival in B.C.’s quiet mountain town north of Whistler.

But, things were different.

A pedestrian bridge was built for foot traffic. Wristbands were required, registered and scanned when entering and leaving festival grounds.

Gate security enforced a no-outsideliquor-inside policy.

The porta-potties were — well, still gross — but, the best you could expect from a festival toilet.

A mobile app was created to keep attendees in the loop.

The entire venue was bigger, better organized and more accommodating.

The only seeming setback was having to park away from the campgrounds, which led to attendees lugging their gear by foot onto the property — up to an hour trek for latecomers with their 24-packs of beer and overnight gear.

Nonetheless, it was night and day from the original festival.

Then — somebody died.

A young somebody.

Somebody’s son.

A 21-year-old somebody named Nick Phongsavath from Regina.

A horrible, heart-wrenching tragedy had occurred.

What happened?

With police tightlipped, rumours flew around the festival grounds and on social media.

At one point, I heard three people had died.

Had the festival been as poorly managed as the last? No. Organizers posted multiple updates on the festival website as the information became available — from an initial statement about the incident to identifying who had died to an RCMP update after the event.

The festival carried on after a goahead from Mounties and an increased police presence secured the crime scene and premises while security maintained strict gate policies.

Organizers also responded to worry and speculation by sending out a message via the festival app, telling patrons that RCMP had deemed the event safe and advising attendees to notify relatives of their own safety.

Last week, police ruled out foul play in Phongsavath’s death.

The RCMP press release is posted on the festival website, along with counselling resources for anyone coping with trauma from the death.

It remains unclear what actually happened to Phongasavath, and his death was nothing short of a tragedy.

But, this year’s Pemberton Music Festival was the world-class event it was intended to be and, in some cases, there’s only so much preparation that can be done. jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ktwjess

Common sense tied up by red tape A bottleful of bureaucracy indeed.

Coun. Tina Lange’s assessment of the weeks and weeks it will take to have the city and council simply to allow the Kamloops Regional Farmers’ Market to sell wine at its downtown markets is spot-on.

Staff has said the city has concerns about liquor sales at the market because it is on public property and is not zoned for such sales.

Instead of council simply agreeing to rubberstamping whatever is needed to add locally produced wine to the roster of fresh regional goods being sold downtown, the process will take long enough to negate any such wine sales during this year’s market season.

Does the city really need to refer the request to the RCMP, Kamloops-Thompson school district, Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association and others?

As Lange noted, the sale of locally made wines at farmers’ markets is part of the provincial government’s desire to relax archaic liquor laws in B.C. Annelise Grube-Cavers, manager of the Kamloops Regional Farmers’ Market, wonders why other markets — including one in Victoria — managed to incorporate wine sales within a week or month of the new policy.

Perhaps the most ludicrous comment came from Coun.

Marg Spina, who worried people may become “drunk” after tastetesting wine at the market.

Has Spina ever walked among those at the market? Has she encountered blotto customers at government liquor stores that offer samples on a regular basis?

As Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone tweeted recently: “What’s the holdup, city council?”

Teachers defending fundamental rights Editor: This is a season of great discontent for public education in British Columbia.

As a high-school teacher, I am greatly troubled by the impasse we teachers are at with the provincial government and those which it has delegated to deal with us at the contract bargaining table.

As I see it, there are two main issues before us at that table.

The first is a potential raise in pay and, on this point, the two sides are quite close.

We are separated by only about one or two per cent on the money and one year on the term.

This seems like a bridgeable gap.

The real sticking-point is with the second, far more important, issue.

It is well known the B.C. Liberal government stripped the teachers’ contract some dozen years ago and that it has been instructed by the courts, more than once, to reinstate the stripped items.

This is, in my mind, the heart of the problem.

Should teachers simply accept this breaking of the mutually agreed-upon contract? Should we accept that a legally binding contract can be broken simply because one party no longer wishes to abide by it?

These are large questions that we, and our entire society, must answer.

A brief illustration will demonstrate the importance of this issue.

Would it be fine for a customer to break a contract with a merchant or a tradesperson simply because, upon further reflection, it would cost too much to pay the full agreed-upon price?

For example, if a plumber, a software developer or a veterinarian provided a service for a mutually agreed-upon price according to contract and the customer unilaterally decided to not pay the full amount, would the service provider have a right to be upset and have grounds for action?

My answer is, of course, yes.

If we cannot condone such actions on the part of private citizens in our society, how can we accept contract-breaking on the part of governments?

The parallels are obvious.

If contracts are disrespected, we will find ourselves in a mighty mess.

So, this is exactly the situation in which we public school teachers find ourselves.

Anybody has the right to disagree with us on the tactics or rhetoric we employ, but it must be acknowledged we are defending some pretty fundamental rights that are a cornerstone of a wellfunctioning society.

We must stand up for our legal and civil rights.

To deny them is to admit they are not important enough to defend. I would never teach my students such a thing.

If matters continue this way, we teachers will not be the only ones with a lot to lose.

Editor: I’ve been cleaning up roadside garbage under the adopt-aroad program here in Brocklehurst for several years.

It’s my way of giving back to this wonderful city I proudly call my home.

I do have a couple of things I’d like to ask of my community.

Can you please remove your yard-sale signs from posts when your sale is over?

This helps not only myself, but others from showing up at your door a week or two later under the assumption you are having a sale when, in fact, you are not.

The other question is for mower operators who mow the tall grass and weeds that grow along Tranquille Road, heading out to the airport.

Please stop and pick up large pieces of cardboard and cigarette packs instead of mowing over them.

You make one piece of garbage into dozens of smaller pieces, which, in turn, makes my job that much harder.

Confetti is for weddings!

I would like to thank the gas-tanker drivers for considering my safety when they go by me during my frequent cleanups.

Thank you, everyone, for helping keep Brock clean.

Money for days out of classroom during strike

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A plan by the provincial government to spend $12 million each school day if the teachers’ strike continues has been condemned by the union representing the educators.

Jim Iker, president of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation said the $40 the government has committed to parents of children 13 and younger in the public-education system for each day teachers remain out of the classroom is “a blatant and divisive attempt to prolong disruption in B.C. schools.�

Finance Minister Mike de Jong told

reporters on Thursday (July 31) parents and guardians of children under the age of 13 can apply for a $40 a day grant to help pay for child-care costs or tutoring if the labour dispute disrupts school starting back on Sept. 2.

Iker’s statement said the scheme “will not help improve class sizes, increase support for children with special needs or provide more one-on-one time for all students.�

He called on the government to put more effort into reaching an agreement with the union before the start of school.

As of the end of June, a month that saw

Kamloops girl shining on eight years after heart transplant

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

A

BBY FARNSWORTH has no idea whose heart beats inside her body, but the 13-year-old is eternally grateful for the gift.

“I’m really thankful for it because it saved my life,” said the soft-spoken Brock middle school student, who recently returned from the Canadian Transplant Games in Moncton.

When Abby was just five weeks old, it was clear something was wrong.

Her parents, Kent Farnsworth and Jane Yabuki, watched as their newborn struggled to gain weight and develop as a healthy baby should.

A pediatrician at Royal Inland Hospital noticed a heart murmur and, after a series of tests, Abby was airlifted to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.

Diagnosed with congenital heart disease, Abby would have three surgeries before her fourth birthday — but her heart continued to fail.

“We had already gone through so much with her initially and thought that she would be all right but, with three surgeries not doing what they

were supposed to, letting it sink in . . . you don’t know how things are going to go,” Jane said.

The family was told Abby needed a heart transplant.

Kent and Jane scrambled to organize things on the home front, having opted to go to Toronto for the operation, not knowing how long they would be gone.

On May 17, 2006, their daughter received a new heart.

“I don’t really remember that much because it was a really long time ago, but I was happy when I got it,” Abby said.

The family remained in Toronto for nine months, enduring what seemed like never-ending tests and hospital check-ups.

Before they returned to Kamloops, a nurse told Kent and Jane about the Games, at which organ-transplant recipients from across Canada get together for competition and a celebration of health.

Now eight years removed from surgery, Abby has been to three Transplant Games — Quebec City in 2010, Calgary in 2012 and this year in Moncton — and she does more than just show up.

She won six medals for B.C. in New Brunswick earlier this month, competing in bowling, swimming,

running, long jump and ball-throw, her favourite event.

“I threw 27 metres and five centimetres and I won gold,” she proudly told KTW. “I like that I can go because I have this heart that can help me do this stuff and I like representing British Columbia.”

There are still tests and checkups and monitoring and medication, making Abby’s life a little different than most of her classmates at Brock.

“It’s a pain in the neck, but I know it helps me, so I try to think positive about it,” said Abby, who drove to Vancouver with her family this week for the latest hospital visit.

Abby will return to mingle with her fellow transplant recipients at the 2016 Games in Toronto, where more medals might be in the cards, but podium finishes are not what the event is all about.

“What’s special about the Transplant Games is just the community of other people that have gone through their own trials,” Jane said. “It’s a commonality with everyone.

“When you go, it’s not like, ‘Oh hi, how are you? What do you do for a living?’ It’s like, ‘What do you have? Heart, liver, lung, kidney and

how long has it been?’”

Canada’s shortage of organ donors has been well-publicized.

A Canadian Institute for Health Information report noted 229 people died waiting for a transplant in 2010.

“I think a lot of people really believe in it, but there are not a lot of people that actually register online and that’s what you have to do,” Jane said.

British Columbians can register online at transplant.bc.ca.

At the Transplant Games, it’s often the athlete who finishes last who gets the most applause. That Abby is able to compete at all — that she is alive — is reason enough to celebrate for Kent and Jane.

“More of the focus is on honouring your donor,” Jane said. “Some know them. They have living donors but, in Abby’s case, we don’t know.”

Under Ontario law, organ donation is a confidential and

anonymous process.

Correspondence between donor families and recipients is done through the Hospital for Sick Children. Letters are edited to ensure anonymity.

Kent and his daughter, an only child, wrote a letter and sent some of Abby’s medals to their donor family four years after the transplant.

“It took me a long time to write them,” Kent said.

“I started writing letters, but never finished them.

“We were dealing with our stuff.

They’re dealing with the death of their child.

“I’ve been thinking about sending another one, just to update them.”

The donor family has never replied to the letter.

“I don’t remember exactly, but we probably wrote, ‘Thank you for this gift,’” Abby said.

KMBA goes ‘all out’ for provincials

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Luke Petrie takes to the baseball diamond today, it will be to the sound of his name and number being announced from the PA system.

The Kamloops RiverDog will look to the outfield and see friends and family cheering in the grandstands lining the centrefield fence, his team’s score displayed on the scoreboard towering in right field.

He’ll step into the

batter’s box and stare down his provincialchampionship opponent, a fellow mosquito AAA player, and take a swing at the first good pitch he gets.

He hopes to hit a home run — his grandparents who came to town from Nanaimo would like that.

But, more than anything, he wants to help his team win a provincial championship at home.

“I’m really excited,” Petrie told KTW during batting practice this week.

“I think we have a

good chance of winning, too.”

Petrie and the Kamloops RiverDogs take to the field for the 2014 Mosquito (11-andunder) AAA Provincial Championship today (Aug. 1) on McArthur Island.

The Dogs will play their first game at 11 a.m., on the newly resurfaced Mosquito 2 diamond, against Ladner, before taking to the same field again at 4 p.m., to face Richmond City.

Saturday’s draw has the RiverDogs facing Chilliwack at 8:30

a.m. on Mosquito 1, with their final roundrobin game against Nanaimo at 1:30 p.m. on Mosquito 2.

Playoffs will get underway on Sunday.

Kamloops is one of 10 teams in attendance at the championship.

Along with its round-robin opponents, the tournament includes Abbotsford, Cloverdale, Ridge Meadows, Victoria and Rutland.

Petrie, a shortstop and pitcher, is playing in the AAA provincials for the second-consecutive season.

SPORTS FOR ALL THE MARBLES Darrell Landels of the Vernon Tigers fends off a Kamloops Venom check during the Thompson Okangan Junior Lacrosse League final, which Vernon won 3-1. The Tigers are hosting the provincial junior B lacrosse championship, which gets underway on Saturday, Aug. 2. Kamloops opens against Saanich at Hassen Memorial Arena in Armstrong on Saturday. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Allen Douglas/KTW

Fields renovated in time for B.C. championship X From A16

He said all the preparations the Kamloops Minor Baseball Association has made for the tournament has made him more excited to take the field.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially excited that both mosquito diamonds have been renovated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the bumps and holes that once populated the grass are no more, the infields properly aligned.

Petrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teammate, left-fielder Austin

Coyle, agreed the changes in the field have made a big difference.

Coyle is also looking forward to playing in front of a hometown crowd, with out-of-town family occupying the centre-field bleachers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to feel good,â&#x20AC;? Coyle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to inspire me a little.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what KMBA president Chris Balison had hoped to hear.

The KMBA decided

to go all out with the provincial championship in celebration of its 50th season. The association knew from the moment it won the bid that it wanted to make this tournament special. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the final tournament and the highest level you can get to in mosquito AAA baseball,â&#x20AC;? Balison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So to make this tournament feel like a mini-World Series or a national championship for these kids was one of our goals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and I

think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve exceeded any expectations in terms of that.â&#x20AC;?

Speaking of expecations, the RiverDogs are expecting to compete for the provincial crown when Sunday rolls around.

Though Petrie has played many of the teams in the tournament before, he declined to pick a front-runner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of them are good,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincials, so every team is going to be good.â&#x20AC;?

KAMLOOPS YOUTH SOCCER ASSOCIATION Xeriscaping in Kamloops

Xeriscape means â&#x20AC;&#x153;water conservation through creative landscapingâ&#x20AC;?.

Landscapes suited to our semi-arid climate conserve water and have an advantage over pest problems. Apply these principles to any garden style and have a healthy, high quality landscape:

2014 SOCCER SCHOOLS Presented by!

1. Planning and design: Group plants according to their water use.

Slope hard surfaces to drain to planted areas. Avoid steep slopes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; create terraces instead. Use groundcovers on gentle slopes.

2. Good soils: Organic matter is an excellent soil amendment. It improves moisture holding capacity in sandy soils and helps to loosen clay soils.

3. Appropriate plant selection: Drought tolerant plants thrive here.

There are many beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers with low water needs.

Richard loved his family very much. He loved family celebrations.

Rick was one of the first ones up on Christmas morning and was gifted at putting a smile on anyone’s face. Rick loved fishing when he could, loved his music, and really enjoyed jamming with his friends. He was blessed with many true friends that supported him, and he often called the Michaelwicz family of Logan Lake his second family.

Our Richard loved bright clothes and apparel that was funky and fun. He had a big heart and was very compassionate to others.

He often was the first to say “I love you”. When Rick was a baby his nickname was Rocket Richard. He grew up with many other nicknames like Thomas the Tank Engine, Chard, Rickasaurus, Uncle Reeeek and many others.

The Angel On Your Shoulder

By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin

There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care.

There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul.

She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side.

In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right.

In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light.

Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.

Stan was born and raised on a farm outside Prince Albert, SK, where he met and married his loving wife of 56 years, Marion Flanders, who passed away in 2008. Stan and Marion moved from SK to Edmonton, AB, in 1956 to raise their family. They then moved to Kamloops in 1976, where Stan became a proud business owner of Thompson Valley Printing Ltd. until retirement in 2000.

Stan is predeceased by his parents, two sisters and four brothers. He also lost his eldest son Gary in 2010.

Stan will be deeply missed by his five children: Brian (Elaine), Kelvin (Debbie), Val (Cory), Floyd (Coranne), Sandy (Marc); and thirteen grandchildren as well as thirteen great-grandchildren.

A celebration of Stan’s life will be held on Saturday, August 2 at 2:00 pm at Schoening’s Funeral Home, 513 Seymour Street. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the BC Cancer Foundation.

August 4, 1930 – July 27, 2014 It is with heavy hearts and sorrow that we announce the passing of Dave Pallot on July 27, 2014 at the age of 83.

A heart of gold stopped beating July 28, 2014, as our beloved Stan peacefully passed away at the age of 81, after spending his last days with family.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Bernice Emmett from 2-6 pm on Sunday, August 10 at 619 St. Paul Street, Kamloops.

We would love for anyone who knew Bernice to join our family to toast such a wonderful and special lady.

Please bring along a lawn chair.

DAVID PALLOT

Dave left the earth as quietly as he came into it. He will be missed by his wife of 57 years, Mary and their five children, Paul (Cassandra), Linda (Steve), Denise (Ron), Wendy (Ben) and John (Brenda), his nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Also remembered by his sisters Billie-Jo, Jacq, Kay and his brother Ernie. Dave was predeceased by his sister Dot. But don’t be fooled by the quiet, behind that was a sharp mind - smart and artistic – quick witted, gentle and kind man. David was given the gift to say the most with the least amount of words.

Dave will be remembered for his tremendous volunteerism, charitable spirit and endless human service to his church and community. Dave was a lover of music and played in a band for as long as his body would let him. He soldiered on until Parkinson’s robbed him of that.

Our family would like to express its heartfelt thanks to the staff at Ridgeview Lodge. Their level of care and attention to Dave’s every need was exceptional.

There will be no funeral at Dave’s request.

Ken passed away July 26, 2014 in R.I.H. Left to mourn Ken are his wife Patricia, stepson Duncan Kerr (Shari), stepdaughter Barbara Kerr, granddaughters Laura (Peter), Megan, grandson Michael, as well as his sons, Jim Jacobs (Karen), Darryl and their mother Carol. Also left to cherish Ken’s memory are his special aunt Ida and her family in Edmonton, many cousins, nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews.

Ken was predeceased by his parents, his stepson Michael, and aunts and uncles.

Ken joined the Navy when he was 16 and spent 8 years in service. Upon his release, he joined the trucking industry, hauling chips and oil products. He was a very loving man.

No flowers please, in memory of Dave make a donation to a charity of your choice.

Thank you to Nadine and the staff at Overlander for their loving care as well as the Doctors and Nurses at R.I.H.

If Tomorrow Never Comes If I knew it would be the last time That I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say “I love you,” instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there’s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right.

There will always be another day to say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance to say our “Anything I can do?”

But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes, you’ll surely regret the day, That you didn’t take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you’ll always hold them dear Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or “It’s okay.”

And if tomorrow never comes, you’ll have no regrets about today. © Norma Cornett Marek ~ 1989

GLOBAL VIEWS

Need some context about situation in Gaza?

Israelis being brutal and stupid, Hamas leaders are being brutal and cynical

Y

OU CAN see why Hamas doesn’t want a cease-fire in Gaza yet.

It is continuing the fight in the hope international outrage at the huge loss of people being killed by Israel’s massive firepower will somehow, eventually, force Israel to give it what it wants.

Hamas would be quite willing to give up firing its pathetic rockets — which have so far killed a grand total of three civilians in Israel — if Israel ends its seven-year blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Dream on.

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s goal is harder to define.

Domestic political pressure to “do something” about those pesky rockets pushed him into this war, but now he must produce some kind of success in order to justify all those deaths: About 1,150 Palestinians and more than 50 Israelis already.

But, what kind of success could it be?

He cannot destroy all the rockets — Hamas shows no sign of running out of them — and, even if he could, Hamas would just manufacture more of them later unless he physically re-occupied the whole Gaza Strip.

In recent days, therefore, Netanyahu has redefined the objective as destroying all the “terror tunnels” that Hamas has dug to infiltrate its fighters into nearby areas of Israel.

This makes no sense at all.

In order to protect the lives of a few hypothetical Israeli soldiers who might be killed in the future by Hamas fighters using the tunnels, more than 40 real Israeli soldiers have already died.

Besides, Israel can’t stop Hamas from digging more tunnels after the shooting stops, unless it can find a way to ban picks and shovels

Where the Music Begins!

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH in the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu needs a victory of some sort before he accepts a cease-fire, but he cannot even define what it would be.

So, as he said, “We should prepare ourselves for an extended campaign.”

Meanwhile, the slaughter of Palestinians continues and sympathy for Israel shrivels even in the United States.

It’s not that the Israeli army particularly wants to kill civilians, although it is sometimes very sloppy, but it does prefer to fight a standoff war with artillery and missiles in order to spare the lives of its own soldiers.

In the crowded Gaza Strip, that inevitably means killing a lot of civilians.

The 1.8-million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are living at the same population density as the residents of London or Tokyo: About 5,000 people per square kilometre.

You cannot use high explosives in this environment without killing a great many innocent civilians and Netanyahu knew that from the start because this is Israel’s third war in Gaza in six years.

So, the Israelis are being brutal and stupid and the Hamas leaders are being brutal and cynical.

(Hamas doesn’t really use civilians as human shields, as Israeli claims, but its leaders know Palestinian civilians killed by Israeli fire provide them with a kind of political capital.)

But, this is not to

say the two sides are equally to blame for the killing.

There is a broader context.

Before 1948, only about 60,000 people lived on the land now known as the Gaza Strip.

The vast majority of those who live there now are Arab refugees, or the children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren of Arab refugees, who fled or were driven out of what is now Israel during the 1948 war.

They are not there by choice.

Israel has traditionally insisted the refugees freely chose to flee, although revisionist Israeli historians have debunked that story pretty thoroughly.

Whichever story you believe, it doesn’t really matter.

Fleeing your home in a time of war does not deprive you of the right to go home when the fighting ends.

Yet, the Palestinians have not been allowed to go home and Israel is adamant they never will be.

The argument of 1948 still applies: For Israel to remain a state with a large Jewish majority, the Palestinian refugees and their descendants must remain outside it.

So, most of them are jammed into this narrow strip of territory on the Mediterranean coast — and, latterly, they have even grown poorer (unemployment is now 40 per cent) because they now live under a permanent Israeli blockade.

Israel imposed the

blockade after Gaza residents voted for Hamas, a radical Islamist party that refuses to recognize the legitimacy of Israel, in the 2006 election.

Yes, they are more radical than the Palestinians of the West Bank, most of whom are not refugees.

But, there is no going back and, even in the Gaza Strip, most Palestinians know it.

The ancestral lands of the Palestinians in what is now Israel are lost as permanently as those of the American Indians.

The “peace” everybody talks about is really just about giving them security of tenure and real self-government in the one-fifth of former Palestine that they still occupy.

Unfortunately, that is not even visible on the horizon.

When Netanyahu is addressing American audiences, he gives lipservice to a “two-state solution” that includes an independent, demilitarized Palestinian ministate, but everybody in Israel knows he is really determined to avoid it.

Israel is, therefore, effectively committed to penning in and controlling the Palestinians forever.

When their objections to this situation get too violent, they have to be disciplined.

That is what is happening now.

Just like 2009 and 2012.

NARROW BOATING IN BRITAIN’S MIDLANDS

By Cherie Thiessen SPECIAL TO KTW

I

travelwriterstales.com

should never have had that second cup of coffee.

We’re inching along about 50 feet above the A3400 highway, and I’m trying to keep my hands steady on the tiller so as not to bump either side of the aqueduct.

I figure I have about one inch to spare on either side and on why aren’t there railings on both sides.

We’re just leaving Wootton Wawen after exploring its 1,100-year-old Saxon sanctuary and this crossing, built in 1813, is by far the most adrenalinepumping of the three aqueducts we encounter on the waterway.

Reaching the other end

without a bump, I beam proudly as the crew from a waiting canal boat applauds.

It’s day five of our pilgrimage to Shakespeare’s Stratford-Upon-Avon, only 30 kilometres away by road from our starting point in the Midlands at Stockton Top Marina, but a six-day trip for us.

Distances are deceiving in a narrow boat: Five kilometres can take five hours if there are copious locks between you and your destination — and a queue of other boats ahead of you.

There are no boat queues this rainy May morning, but copious locks have, indeed, lurked in wait — the famous staircase of Hatton Locks on Day Two, for example.

Completed in 1799, its 21 locks climb 150 feet over two miles and are then punctuated with 396-metre-long

Shrewley Tunnel, built in 1799, a trickster of a tunnel that delighted in anointing all four of us with icy rivulets when least expected.

We choose this route for the fun and challenge of its locks, all 152 of them (return), its aqueducts and its sleepy, scenic countryside, all part of our adventure as we head to the Bard’s home town.

Our boat is the 56 feetfeet Florence Edith, an impressive size until you realize that a narrow boat is called that for good reason.

It’s only 7-feet wide.

These canals and locks were originally designed for narrow boats carrying coal, sugar, tea and spices, so modern craft still need to emulate their ancestors in order to squeeze into those lean locks.

The Florence Edith, hired

from Kate Boats, has a stateroom, 1.5 bathrooms and an eating area, galley and lounge.

Both the eating area and the lounge convert into beds, perfect for two couples because this is one vacation that should be shared, splitting the work and doubling the laughs.

My partner, David Dossor, and our close friends, Pat Crossley and Gerry McKeating, are all getting a good workout.

Cruising to Stratford entailed leaving the wider and busier Grand Union Canal and navigating a frighteningly abrupt elbow turn under a low bridge into the South Stratford Canal.

The hair-raising narrowness of the locks had a positive side, however: There was only one gate to open at each end instead of two and,

4 Seats left!

although, more challenging for the skipper, it made the crew’s jobs much easier.

An already scenic trip soon trumped itself as we chugged dreamily past black and white footbridges, grazing sheep, undulating greenhedged fields and rainbowcoloured canal boats spilling with rooftop flowers and folk art, on our hunt for the perfect happy hour tie-up.

Last night, we couldn’t resist a spot near the country pub and ancient church, but tonight’s choice is a pastoral one, far from traffic and nudged by wheat sheaves and sheep.

Wine on deck chairs on the towpath is the daily routine, followed by dinner al fresco on our floating restaurant. (My turn to be sous chef).

NATIONAL NEWS

Should middle class No travel ban despite Ebola outbreak in Africa parents start trust funds?

U.S. health officials are warning Americans not to travel to countries hit by the outbreak, which has killed more than 700 people this year.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the risk of the deadly disease coming to the U.S. remains small.

The last time the agency issued such a travel warning was in 2003 because of a SARS outbreak in Asia.

CANADIAN PRESS

By Alexandra Bosanac CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Some people are lucky enough to be born to wellconnected families with vast fortunes, leaving those of us who rely on our wits and hard labour with rigid attitudes about the type of kids who benefit from trust funds.

Lately, the practice of leaving large inheritances may be increasingly falling out of favour — at least for celebrities.

Concerned about potentially ruining the lives of his six adult children, British musician Sting has been vocal about his decision not to share his estimated $300-million fortune.

According to reports, the late actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman rejected his accountant’s suggestion to leave a portion of his $35-million estate to his children because he didn’t want them to be “trust-fund kids.’’

“Their biggest stress is, ‘Am I going to wreck my kids? Am I going to take the incentive away from them to earn a living and to be a productive member of society by even setting up a trust fund for them?’’’ says Cindy Crean, a managing director at SunLife Financial Global Investments in Toronto.

But, a trust fund can be the right decision in certain circumstances, said Crean, even for average income earners.

A trust is usually set up to provide financial security for children or other family members.

It can contain a number of assets beyond cash and mutual funds, such as property.

Trusts function differently than bank accounts, as the assets are deposited at once and beneficiaries usually only gain direct access when they reach adulthood. They also differ from wills as they aren’t subject to probate.

Trusts were traditionally used by high net-worth families as a hedge to protect relatives from the fallout of potentially ruinous life choices such as divorce, business and court.

It’s also an option that’s becoming popular with middle-class clients who want to provide money, for example, to their grandchildren.

“If you have kids or grandkids in private schools or heavily involved in sports or other activities that are very costly, a trust can be used to fund those activities and provide the income to that individual at a more favourable tax rate than just simply giving the money.’’

OTTAWA — Canada’s public-health agency has issued a travel-health notice about the Ebola outbreak in three African countries.

But it is not following the United States in warning citizens not to travel to Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone — at least not yet.

The notice from the Public Health Agency of Canada notes that

dozens of cases of Ebola virus infection have been reported in those countries.

And, it adds that Nigeria’s health ministry has reported its first death due to the virus.

But, it adds that the World Health Organization does not recommend any travel or trade restrictions be applied to the African countries because of the outbreak.

Accused of killing cops, deemed fit to stand trial CANADIAN PRESS

attempted murder.

On Thursday, July 31, a provincial court judge read from a psychiatric assessment that concluded Bourque is competent and mentally fit for trial.

Bourque has elected to be tried by judge and jury and his case was adjourned until Aug. 8 in the Court of Queen’s Bench.

Blues artist Zakiya Hooker will be performing at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, held from Aug. 15 to Aug. 17.

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

AKIYA HOOKER remembers the first time she sang publicly with her dad.

“Girl, I got so sick right after,” the blues singer said.

“My stomach was knotted right up.

“My friend Linda was backstage and I just ran to her and told her to take me home, I felt so sick. My dad just gave me a big ol’ hug and kiss and said ‘That was so good’.”

Her dad knew good music — after all, the name John Lee Hooker is revered in the blues world.

Zakiya Hooker has some of her dad’s songs on the set list she’s bringing to the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, where she will be performing with her band, featuring husband Chris James.

She’s also going to be the host and a participant in one of the festival workshops, Ladies Sing the Blues, with

Little Miss Higgins and Samantha Martin.

Although she grew up surrounded by music, Hooker came late to the profession, following her dad’s footsteps two dozen years ago, when she was 42.

“I was a single mom with three kids. I had to get a job to look after them,” she said.

“There was always music in our home. We had an old piano and we’d sing Sesame Street songs, nursery rhymes, anything. I had an aunt who was always laughing when I sang, saying some day, I was gonna be in Hollywood.

“She had faith in me.”

It’s not clear her father had that same viewpoint of his daughter because, while her dad bought his son a Hammond organ to play, she was given a Singer sewing machine.

“You know, I was so through with him for that,” she said, breaking into gales of laughter.

“I mean, my brother gets a Hammond organ — a Hammond organ! — and I get a sewing machine? But, you know, I learned to sew.”

Meeting her husband helped give Hooker the added

boost to take what she has calls a jazzy blues voice to the stage.

James, her husband, was one of the founders of the R&B band The Natural Four, but has also performed with Earth Wind and Fire, The Temptations, Kool and the Gang, the Isley Brothers and Curtis Mayfield.

“He knew my dad before he knew me,” Hooker said.

“He’d performed with my dad. He put me in doing background and then, one day, he said, ‘Why don’t we work with you?’”

Her first CD was Another Generation of the Blues, released in 1993.

Since then, she’s released Flavors of the Blues, Colors of the Blues and Keeping it Real.

Her Salmon Arm show will start with an acoustic set of old blues classics, Hooker said, like In the Pines and Death Letter Blues.

The second set will be fronted by James, who brings in the R&B side of the blues.

The last set will be contemporary blues, including

some of her own songs.

“I like to give the people a whole spectrum,” she said.

“You know, the blues, it comes from our AfricanAmerican music. And it comes from the fields and the hollerers and it comes from gospel and the old-time blues and R&B. Listening to it, it just goes right through you.”

When she’s not performing, Hooker can be found out in her yard, gardening, something she says is akin to communing with God. “I lose track of time out there. I take the dogs out and they even leave me, I’m out there so long.”

As for her own musical choices, she said they run from country to hip-hop — but not rap.

“I don’t listen to the rap. I can’t get to that. Just give me some really good music.”

She has a favourite website she’ll go to on her computer, she said, one that plays “the old songs from the ‘70s and I love to listen to it.

Those songs take you back to better days. There’s stories.

“There’s got to be a story.”

August show combines Kamloops retiree’s two passions — travel, art

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

ARLENE Wildeman has spent some time watching for sales at Michaels.

In particular, she’s been looking for those half-price — or better — deals on canvases that, under the stroke of her brushes, will be transformed into something else.

And, with her next exhibition ready to be mounted, those white squares are starting to call out to her to get the acrylics out and get to work.

Art came to the retired secondaryschool teacher and author late in life when, due to a scheduling mix-up, she found herself on a professionaldevelopment day in an art class.

“I felt free to try it,” she said, “and I love it.”

Coming from a working-class family, she said, art was never considered a profession because it didn’t seem

like something that could provide a living wage to her.

“But now, with my pension and knowing my rent’s covered, I love to do it,” she said.

Wildeman’s upcoming show, The Moving Finger Paints, opens at the Wilson House Gallery, 115 Tranquille Rd., on Aug. 6 and continues to Sept. 4.

It’s her sixth solo show. She’s been at that gallery before, as well as being featured twice in the Sagebrush Theatre lobby, once at Portfolio Interiors and a couple of times as part of the North Shore Art Walk, the last time at the Red Beard coffee house, where the owners asked her to continue her show for two more months.

Wildeman has been a regular entrant in the annual Kamloops Arts Council Art Exposed juried show, receiving an honourable mention last year, and has two works chosen for next year’s Kamloops Art Gallery art auction.

She has sold 19 of her creations.

The August show is the first time she has combined her two retirement passions — travel and art — and it’s what inspired the theme of painting inspired by the countries through which she has moved.

“I’m in a strange spot now,” she said, “with the show ready to go up and I don’t know where I’m going next.”

The gallery is open Mondays to Fridays from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.

H E A RT B U R N Proper Digestion Without the Burn Suffering from frequent heartburn? Heartburn is not always a symptom of having too much acid in your stomach, but rather not having adequate amounts of the proper enzymes. The acid in our stomachs help breakdown and process nutrients from food.

When your digestive system is not able to properly break down food, it begins to churn the contents of your stomach more vigorously, often resulting in heartburn. Many common heartburn aids block the production of acid, which can decrease mineral and nutrient absorption, potentially leading to serious health concerns. Try these heartburn tips to soothe the burn and increase nutrient absorption: Digestive Enzymes A full spectrum digestive enzyme contains an enzyme to help break down all food types; fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. When taken before a meal, it aids in the proper breakdown of nutrients, allowing for increased absorption and ease of digestion.

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