NDP sets nomination for Aug. 9

Is somebody missing their blankie? By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

IKE ATKINS TRIES TO WALK EVERY DAY. Although he lives on Pacific Way, he doesn’t like hoofing the hills of Aberdeen, so he often will head for flatter terrain — like the stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway near the New Gold mine, west of Kamloops. He find things along the way — nuts and bolts on the side of the road that he kicks out of the way of any vehicles, the occasional sleeping bag and things he doesn’t even want to mention, let alone touch. He’s hoping to find the owner of a recent discovery, something that to many might just be a tiny quilt, but perhaps for someone out there, it’s their blankie — a blue and white crib-sized blanket with handsewn colourful teddy bears on the squares. Atkins, a retired big-equipment operator at Highland Valley Copper, noticed the blanket during a walk along the highway on Thursday, July 24. “I inspected it before I picked it up,” he said, explaining that, sometimes, his finds are hiding surprises of their own. After determining it was just a wet and dirty blanket that might have blown out of the back of a truck, Atkins packed it up and took it home, where it was laundered by wife Chris. Atkins brought the blankie to KTW and was planning to put an advertisement in the lost and found section, but the front-office staff — likely after a collective “awwww” when they saw the covering — suggested a story to boost the chances of the blankie’s owner being located. This isn’t the first time Atkins has tried to reunite a found item with the person who lost it. A motorcycle plate — “good to December” — was taken to the RCMP detachment. Keys to a Yamaha were dropped off at the River City’s dealership, from where they were returned to their owner. If anyone recognizes the blanket in the photo, email editor@kamloopsthisweek.com so we can help Atkins get it back to you.

Bargaining to resume on Friday,Aug. 8 B.C. Liberals’ payment-to-parents plan draws criticism By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The two sides in the education labour dispute will resume bargaining talks on Friday, Aug. 8. However, the B.C. Liberal government’s decision to proceed with payments to parents in the event the teachers’ strike continues into September is drawing fire on a number of fronts. Calling it a “bomb,” KamloopsThompson board of education chairwoman Denise Harper condemned the proposed $40-per-day grant Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced for parents if teachers remain on strike when school resumes on Sept. 2. “I am astonished the government would meddle in the bargaining process at this critical time,” Harper said. “It was a bomb. It came on the heels of what had been a hopeful conference call with trustees at the provincial level just days before.” Harper said the government’s chief bargainer, Peter Cameron — who is

working with the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) — was on the call with the B.C. School Trustees Association. “He sounded more positive than he has in earlier conference calls,” Harper said. “I can’t find a logical reason for this poorly thought-out announcement that has undermined bargaining. It is destructive interference rather than constructive help.” David Komljenovic, president of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association, called the grant announcement a distraction from bargaining and accused the government of abdicating its responsibility to try to resolve the contract impasse so classrooms will be open in September. As for using the estimated $178 million in salary savings from the June strikes to fund the grant program, Harper and Komljenovic each criticized the decision, saying that money should be put back into the education system. Komljenovic also noted the money is taxable.

“So, it’s just going back to the government.” Harper questioned if the government’s own bargaining committee knew of the plan to provide parents of students under 13 in the public-education system the daily amount should the labour dispute between the government and teachers leave classroom doors closed in the upcoming school year. Komljenovic, who is also a member of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) bargaining committee, also wondered if provincial bargainers and ministries are talking to each other. “It would be good if the ministry and negotiators would communicate with each other,” he said. Komljenovic’s earlier comments that bargaining dates in August were being confirmed and that a potential mediator was still available had been termed incorrect by Ministry of Education spokespeople. However, the BCTF and the BCPSEA issued a press release at noon on Friday, Aug. 1, confirming bargaining talks will resume on Aug. 8.

From cork to polyethylene A brief history of the life jacket — and why you should always wear one on the water By Adam Williams

AUGUST 1 - 7, 2014

STAFF REPORTER

CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY TUES. AUG. 5

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

OULD you trust your child’s life to a life jacket made of cork? About 150 years ago, you wouldn’t have had a choice. Glen Cheetham, aquatics program supervisor for the City of Kamloops, imparted that information and more to about 20 people who attended a lecture at the Kamloops Museum and Archives on Saturday, Aug. 2. The lecture was dedicated to the history of the life jacket, as well as its importance, as the B.C. Day long weekend arrived. The August holiday weekend is a popular boating weekend. However despite life jackets being readily available and cost-effective, Cheetham said, they are relatively under-utilized today. The numbers are startling. In 2011, 359,000 people drowned across the world, with 525 of those deaths occurring in Canada. What’s more, fewer than 50 per cent of Canadians who own a boat regularly wear a life jacket, even though 82 per cent believe it to be legally required. In 2011, 359,000 More than 25 per cent people drowned of boating fatalities are drownings in which a life across the jacket was on board, but world, with 525 not worn. in Canada. Life jackets are a relatively new invention, surfacing in response to soaring drowning deaths in the 16th century. The first flotation device, animal skins sewn together in a manner that captured air, provided minimal buoyancy. That changed in 1854, when John Ross Ward developed the first life jacket — a bulky, heavy and uncomfortable device made of cork, which provided more than double the buoyancy needed to float a 200pound man. The cork devices remained in effect for nearly 50 years before being replaced by jackets made of cotton produced by the kapok tree. Modern-day life jackets differ greatly from early models, with both flotation and comfort being important to designs. Jackets are often red, yellow or orange to ensure visibility and are made to keep in heat while combatting frigid water temperatures. Inflatable life jackets, which are lightweight and often more comfortable, are also becoming more common. But, despite all their modern advances, people still avoid using life jackets. In B.C., 68 residents drowned in 2013. Cheetham hoped his presentation on Saturday might prevent some of those deaths from happening. “We’re seeing a great reduction,” he said. “It was more than 200 [drowning deaths] a few years ago. “But at 68, it’s still too many.”

Mom blames Mr. Big sting Claims son was falsely convicted via scenario By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The mother of a Merritt man sent to jail for the murder of a teenage girl believes her son was falsely convicted and would be free if new limits on a controversial RCMP sting technique would have been in place 14 years ago. Patrick Fischer was convicted after a second trial in the death of 16-year-old Darci Drefko, who was strangled and dumped in the bush. Last month, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that confessions made by a Newfoundland man who confessed in an RCMP sting — known as a Mr. Big scenario — to the murder of his twin daughters was not admissible because it was made under implied threat of violence and that police used too much coercion on a socially isolated man with limited intelligence. The ruling is expected to reduce the number of convictions and rewrite the way RCMP conduct the Mr. Big operations, particularly its overtones of violence. “I think it’s good for people coming up,” said Linda Fischer, a Dawson Creek mother who has never stopped believing her son was wrongfully convicted and jailed. Following the first trial that ended up with a hung jury, Fischer was convicted of first-degree murder, which automatically carries a 25-year sentence before the possibility of parole. After Drefko’s body was found in 1999 by a group of horseback riders in the mountains near Merritt, police targeted Fischer in a Mr. Big sting scenario. As with many Mr. Big operations, an

uncover Mountie first approached Fischer on the street in the Fraser Valley, where had moved, and asked him to help find a woman, showing him a picture. The two became friends and the fictitious gang member offered Fischer a number of phoney, criminal-like tasks. He was on welfare at the time and was later completely off benefits. “He had nothing but what they were giving him,” Linda said. Eventually, Fischer was brought before Mr. Big, who told him the heat was on for Drefko’s death — something Fischer could make disappear if he confessed to the crime and gave all its details. Like all Mr. Big scenarios, Fischer was constantly told the gang lived by a creed of truth and that bad things happened to those who lied. He was also promised a $20,000 job transporting drugs in the future. Fischer, who drank beer provided to him, confessed to strangling Drefko. “Unfortunately, he’s good at telling stories,” Linda said. “The only evidence they had was that confession — 90 per cent of it was probably false . . . I don’t care who you are, you’re going to think your life is in danger. “He didn’t think he’d get out of there alive unless he told them what he wanted to hear.” Fischer later led an undercover Mountie to a location near where Drefko’s body was found by the riders. News reports at the time could not describe the Mr. Big operation, which was covered by a publication ban. Those bans on Mr. Big sting details were

Linda said the Association for the Defence of the Wrongfully Convicted is preparing an argument to the federal minister of justice, permitted under the Criminal Code. “He will eventually go to a 696 hearing (section 696 of the Criminal Code allowing appeal to the minister) — the last kick at the can,” Linda said. “He’s handling things well. He’s very patient.” Fischer is being held in Mountain Institution in Agassiz, a medium-security prison. Linda said he is head of the music club in the penitentiary and spends some of his time making jewelry boxes.

later overruled by the Supreme Court of Canada. In 2005, the B.C. Court of Appeal rejected Fischer’s claim the jury’s verdict wasn’t based on facts. “He gave [to police] a wealth of detail about the homicide only the actual killer of Ms. Drefko could know,” the appeal court wrote. “The site he pointed out was a near perfect match of the location where the body was discovered, which is particularly damning because Fischer told the officers he placed the body in that location in the dark,” said the appeal court ruling. Fischer is now 37 years old and is not eligible for parole until 2025.

Unplugging and playing with Mother Nature

HEN WE ARRIVED, there were no showers, no outlets into which one could plug an iPhone and nary a bed or even raised platform on which to sleep. There were plenty of towering trees, so tall and so large that they blotted out much of the sunlight. There was a picnic table and a rusty metal grate over top a rusty half-moon-shaped metal fire pit. There was, also — about 50 paces that way, between those trees and across the empty lot next door — two outhouses, one for each gender, although it would be Day 3 of the four-day trip before I realized I had been visiting the restroom reserved for those with the XX chromosome. There was all that, but not much more. It wasn’t until I had soaked up many hours on my inaugural realcamping-in-actual-tents trip that I came to realize there was actually much, much more than all that. The grand history of Fouldsy’s camping adventures includes passing out in a tent or two in my teens while visiting friends who were camping in the Suicide Creek area north of Mission. It includes a trip in 2011 to Loon Lake near Clinton, where a cabin with beds and electricity welcomed me and the kids — and where I inadvertently probably killed a duck (with an ill-advised marshmallow treat); accidentally tortured a fish (by hooking it in the side while fishing from a boat and, when trying to free it from the line, lost the bleeding quarry to

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom MUSINGS an eagle who swooped down from nowhere); and somehow ran down a giant bird of some kind that just stood in the middle of the road as I drove home. CLUNK! was the sound, followed by a rearview-mirror image of the wounded feathered friend limping into a ditch. No, the outdoors and me are about as friendly as Israel and Hamas. But, the recent trip to French Beach past Sooke on Vancouver Island may have served as the ceasefire needed to allow me to co-exist with nature without craving a Best Western and its pool, hot tub and free hot breakfast. I had been told camping on the Coast is so much more different than camping in the Interior. It’s also so much more different that sitting in my backyard with a cold one for the same reason — mosquitoes. Up here, they are everywhere. On French Beach on Vancouver Island, there wasn’t a mosquito to be found.

In fact, the provincial park may be the cure-all for anyone with a phobia of bugs as they were few and far between. A visit with Mother Nature, be you a constant camper or a neophyte like me, is good for the soul — and this is where I discovered the beauty of less being more. At French Beach, you can sit on the smoothest of rocks and listen to the waves crash onto the shore at your feet as you gaze across the ocean at Washington state. There is no cell or Internet service and being disconnected has never been so liberating. No text messages to check, no email to peruse, no Facebook feeds to update. The cellphone becomes utilitarian — a watch and maybe a flashlight for a midnight trip to the loo. There are no televisions, no electricity, no showers. It does not take long for your mind and body to adjust to this sensory deprivation. While I at first wondered what the heck one would do all day without all that stuff, it became clear picking rocks, probing tidal pools, climbing up and over driftwood, cooking on a Coleman stove, tossing the ball, walking along trails and talking around a campfire in the dark more than compensated for the artificial-filled life we had abandoned for but a few days. Life slows down — and that is a good thing. We should all be lucky enough to unplug and play with Mother Nature. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Only in B.C. can happy hour be so darn sad Only in B.C. could the provincial government introduce a happy hour that only serves to make people unhappy. When the B.C. Liberal government announced plans to liberalize alcohol laws, one of the moves was to create a happy hour as British Columbia was one of the only jurisdictions in North America without one. Any other province or state in North America uses happy hour to discount the cost of drinks and food during traditionally slower time periods of the day. The theory is a cheaper pint to go with a cheeseburger will bring in customers who otherwise might not walk through the door. In B.C., however, Premier Christy Clark and John Yap, parliamentary secretary for liquor policy reform, managed to hike the cost of booze — not only during happy hour, but all day long. Some have called the pair incompetent, while others have suggested a tax grab (government will realize more tax revenue from higher prices) or a plan to appease larger bars who support the B.C. Liberals. By introducing the new minimum pricing — which sets a pint of beer at $5 — the theory goes, some smaller venues that were offering pints for less will now have to compete with bigger chains by offering identical prices. Whether incompetent or devious, the B.C. Liberals’ happy hour is a horror. It takes more money from the taxpayer and puts more money in government coffers. And this from an party that professes to allow the market set the price.

Make no mistake — Hamas is a terrorist group Editor: Re: Dale Bass’s column of July 3 (‘The premier’s job does not include IsraelGaza conflict’): Bass is quite correct to criticize Premier Christy Clark’s claim of making a non-political statement on the Gaza situation. Clark should, instead, be focusing on her own government’s immoral abandonment of one of society’s essential services — education. The premier and her ministers appear to revel in the disaster she has created. However, Bass strays way off topic — and reason — when she wades over her depth into the Gaza catastrophe, denying the terrorist basis of the Hamas faction. Some facts are important here. First, Israel’s actions are in self -defence of and by a democratically elected government against

JO N ROXANNA IN JOIN JO SEPT 19TH - OCTOBER 5TH SEPT

random rocket attacks. Second, Hamas is not the elected or even recognized government of either Gaza or Palestine; the Palestinian Authority carries that role and its elected leader is Mahmoud Abbas. He has not authorized Hamas attacks. Hamas, like Islamic Hijad, is a radical faction that makes unauthorized military attacks on its neighbour. Third, any society staking claim to government status or statehood must demonstrate, among other powers, a total monopoly on military power and action. Israel does. Hamas does not. Nor does the Palestinian Authority. Fourth, Hamas has publicly and repeatedly denied the right of the state of Israel to exist, yet Israel has not returned that favour. Perhaps Bass should recognize Israel’s population is only 60-or-so per cent

Jewish, the rest being Christian and Arab (Muslim). The majority of the Jewish population is of the Askenazi Jewish heritage, who, with something like three per cent of Eurasia’s population, hold more than 70 per cent per cent of the Nobel prizes ever awarded. The Israeli state and its population are quite clearly a unique genetic, cultural, intellectual and creative phenomenon never seen before or elsewhere. Having been denied hospitality and domicile almost everywhere in the world and at every time in the past two millennia, they have no right to defend their existence? Bass should get a grip on some history and some ethics before wading in over her head. Pierce Graham Kamloops

Most employees do not receive three months off of work to recharge Editor: I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but not respond to the teacher, Dawn Aziz, who felt it necessary to write a letter to the editor (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Teacher speaks out on lack of picketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;). Teachers are paid an annual salary by choice over 10 months. Many years ago, the Kamloops-Thompson School District gave teachers the opportunity to be paid over 12 months, but they declined. Why is it that this teacher thinks we

should not begrudge her the summers, Christmas, Easter and professional days off to recharge, renew and rejuvenate so they are ready for work.

The city’s real-estate market rebounded in July after a slow first six months of the year, but it is avoiding the excesses seen in markets such as Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto. The Kamloops & District Real Estate Board reported residential-sales units in July, at 287, are up 15 per cent over the same month last year. Year-to-date sales remain off by about five per cent. The overall value of sales was also up in the double-digits for the month. “We’ve been a little down, but it really picked up last month,” said association president Ingrid Pfeiffer. The median value of a single-family home in July was $367,000, which is still down from the values set in 2008 before the financial crash. In August, 2008, the median value of a single-family home in Kamloops was $375,000. “I think this is a pretty balanced market,” Pfeiffer said. The most action was in homes selling between $280,000 and$320,000, but there was also significant activity — 23 sales — in the $550,000-plus range.

Patients advised to review records X From A1

Serwo said anyone who has additional questions or needs more information can call the IHA patient-care quality office in Kelowna at 1-877442-2001, or send an email to patient. concerns@interiorhealth.ca. The woman who spoke to KTW also wondered how a cabinet full of files could have been moved without someone noticing it was not empty. “I’ve done it,” she said. “They’re heavy.” Serwo said she had no answer to that question, but added that last October, during a regular policy review, the relevant policy had been amended to clarify manages’ responsibilities when disposing of excess equipment. The letters spell out what could be called the worst-case scenario of identity theft and what people should do to ensure their information isn’t used illegally. However, Serwo said, that is because the hospital wanted to exercise “an abundance of caution.” The measures it refers to include having an alert placed on their health

number that would prompt confirmation of the cardholder’s identity when the card is used. A similar alert can be placed on patients’ credit ratings. In addition, patients were advised to review their bank and credit-card statements to ensure all transactions were valid. “So, now I have to go back through a year’s worth of bank documents?” the letter recipient asked. “It is not a comfortable thing to know this happened.” Serwo said the one-month time span between having the documents returned and advising patients of the privacy breach was due to Interior Health Authority policy that requires a review of what happened and to ensure appropriate action is taken to avoid a similar breach in the future. “This was challenging given the circumstances involved in this case,” IHA communications officer Michaela Swan said. “While that was ongoing, staff reviewed the more than 1,700 documents involved to identify all patients who had information in the documents.”

Undefeated Broncos shred Huskers’ D STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

HE KAMLOOPS BRONCOS ARE 2-0 for the first time in franchise history — and the B.C. Football Conference squad is being paced by its offence. Kamloops gained 553 yards — 300 on the ground and 255 through the air — in a 49-33 victory over the Valley Huskers on Saturday, Aug. 2, in Chilliwack. “The offence just took over and kept on rolling,” Broncos’ head coach Duncan Olthuis said. “The 300 yards of rushing . . . our offensive line opened up some massive holes for Jacob

Palmarin and Aaron Morran.” With fullback Sheldon Brown blocking, Morran scampered for 116 yards and two scores and Palmarin racked up 111 yards and one touchdown. Quarterback Stephen Schuweiler made his second consecutive start, completing 17 of 30 pass attempts for 255 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. He also rushed for 11 yards and one TD. “The one thing with Steve is he’s a gunslinger,” Olthuis said. “If he throws a couple picks, he doesn’t go into a shell. That’s a good thing and it can be a hinderance, too. So far, it’s been good for us.”

Receiver Rudy Uhl had another outstanding game in his second outing as a Bronco, catching four passes, three of them touchdowns. “This kid, we brought him in here and didn’t know what he was going to be like,” Olthuis said. “In practice, I thought, ‘Oh yeah, he’s pretty good,’ but, in the games, he’s shown a different gear and it’s amazing what he can do.” In Week 1, Uhl tied a 40-yearold BCFC record with a 106-yard touchdown reception in a 39-9 victory over the Westshore Rebels of Victoria at Hillside Stadium on July 26. Kamloops racked up 475 yards of total offence

against Westshore. Derek Yachison was again Schuweiler’s most-targeted receiver on Saturday, gaining 119 yards on seven receptions. The River City’s junior football squad heads into its bye week with a great chance of improving to 3-0, next scheduled to play against the Huskers (0-2) at Hillside on Aug. 16. Game time is 7 p.m. Langley (2-0) sits tied with Kamloops atop league standings. Vancouver Island and the Okanagan Sun of Kelowna are both 1-1 and Westshore is 0-2. Excitement should be tempered in the Tournament Capital, with Kamloops having beaten two

of the league’s lower-tier teams. Still, the Broncos have done their part, posting two impressive victories to put the league on notice. Kamloops, which joined the BCFC in 2007, made the playoffs for the first time in 2013, but did so at 2-7-1, a record team president Dino Bernardo said wasn’t good enough. The unblemished start in 2014 has allowed the Broncos’ braintrust to breathe easier. “It’s taken a huge pressure off of us as a coaching staff, but it’s going to be another tough one against Valley,” Olthuis said. “We’ve just got to keep the guys focused.”

Iron woman — Lowenberg golden in Whistler By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

As runners crossed the finish line at the 2014 Kamloops Marathon, Melissa Lowenberg was getting ready to run a marathon of her own. The only difference was she had already finished a 3.9-kilometre swim and a 180.25-kilometre bike that day, before embarking on her 42.2-kilometre run. Lowenberg, a Kamloops native, spent Sunday, July 27, racing in the 2014 Subaru Ironman Canada event in Whistler. The Ironman triathlon is a long-distance race comprising swimming, cycling and running — done in that order — and is considered one of the most difficult one-day sporting events in existence. Most Ironman competitions, including the Whistler race, must be finished in less than 17 hours. Lowenberg crossed the line in a time of 10:55:48 — 1:19:33 for the swim, 5:42:00 for the bike ride and 3:47:58 for the marathon. She was first in the 40-44 age category, qualifying for the Ironman World Championship in KailuaKona, Hawaii, for the secondconsecutive year. “It’s a really long day, right? So, there are moments in the day that are incredibly hard and it’s really tough,” Lowenberg told KTW days after returning to Kamloops. “But, by the time you hit the finish line — as you get closer and closer to the village, there’s more and more people, you can hear the finish line — I think everyone picks up their speed at the end, for the last couple kilometres.

Melissa Lowenberg of Kamloops crossed the finish line in 10:55:48 at the Subaru Ironman Canada event in Whistler on July 27.

“I think it’s just elation. You’re so stoked. It wouldn’t matter what happened during the day, you forget it all because you’re so happy, you’re thrilled. I’m lighting up just talking about it.” Lowenberg was the 18th female racer to cross the finish line and 131st overall. As astounding as her Ironman accomplishments have been, what’s perhaps more amazing is how far the 40-year-old has come since competing in her first triathlon in the 1990s. “I used my mountain bike and I really struggled to swim more than 25, 50 metres at a time,” she said. “I had to stop at the wall and take a break. So, it has been a real journey to go longer and get better at all the different disciplines.” Lowenberg did her first Ironman in 2008 and the 2014 Whistler race was her fifth longdistance triathlon. It was her second time winning an age-category event in Ironman Canada as she also finished

first in 2013. To train for the 226.35-kilometre race, Lowenberg begins her regular regimen in January, though she tries to keep her fitness levels up during the winter off-season. The training is the toughest part of doing an Ironman, she said. Preparation can become all-consuming,

with 30-kilometre runs and bike rides to Merritt and back among activities that monopolize her free time. “I don’t have much of a life outside of work, training and prepping for the next set of workouts,” Lowenberg said. “To be honest, I think almost all of the hard work has happened before all of that [race day]. I find race day just super fun. You feel awesome. “That’s not the day that’s as much hard work,” she explained. “It’s the rainy day where you don’t really feel like going and everyone is going to watch Grey Cup or something. Those are the harder days. The winter, getting up at 5 a.m. all of February, that’s a bit harder.” Lowenberg trains with

a group of fellow Ironman athletes, which makes the hours of work easier. Many of her cohorts were with her in Whistler. Her partner and coach Maurice Maher (10:29:27), Vincenzo Cavaliere (11:42:56), Erik Myllymaki (11:48:45), Tracy Moore (12:15:39), Bryan Siemens (12:19:19), Karen Wiens (12:19:41) and Kate Stebbings (12:26:48) also crossed the finish line in the Whistler Olympic Plaza. With her berth in the world championship secure, Lowenberg took a few days to rest and recover — avoiding stairs — before setting goals for the October race. Hawaii boasts a much different course than Whistler. The swim is done

in the ocean, the bike route is often windy and without the climbing sections on which Lowenberg excels and the run is hot and humid. Last year, she finished the course in a time of 11:18:01. In the next few weeks, Lowenberg said she will decide if the plan at KailuaKona is to just enjoy the day or achieve some real goals. Whatever she decides, the Kamloops racer will cross the finish line with a smile on her face, just as she did in Whistler. “I think for most of us that even think about Ironman, Kona is a real dream of ours,” Lowenberg said. “I feel really lucky to be able to go and to go again.”

RiverDogs snare provincial silver By Marty Hastings

The Kamloops RiverDogs captured silver at the B.C. Minor Baseball Association midget AAA championship, running out of steam in the final against the Tri-City Indians. Tri-City blew the game open in the second inning, scoring six runs and cruising the rest of the way to an 11-5 victory on Sunday, Aug. 3, in Victoria. “We had to go through a lot of pitching to get through the four previous games,” Kamloops manager Sean Wandler said. “You put all your chips on the table just to get there and that’s sort of what we did.” The RiverDogs lost starting pitcher Riley Jepson to injury earlier in the tournament and Brennan Hegel took the mound on Sunday. “He has been injured all year and that was his first start in forever,” Wandler said. “He did the best he could and they were just able to capitalize.” Hegel gave up nine runs on seven hits in four innings of work before Vincent Daley took over.

pitcher helped his own cause at the plate, registering two doubles, two RBI and one run. Riley Johnson and Jackson Lowes each had a double and an RBI. Kamloops, the No. 3 seed, had an improbable run to the championship tilt, knocking off the Chilliwack Cougars, the No. 1 seed, 4-2 in the semifinal round. “Nobody was expecting that,” Wandler said. “Everyone was expecting them [Chilliwack] to either win or be in the final at least.” Kamloops’ ace Brendan Coulter

pitched a complete game against Chilliwack and Hegel hit a solo homerun to give the RiverDogs the lead late in the game. In their third and final roundrobin matchup, the RiverDogs beat the No.3-seed Richmond Chuckers 17-11 in a must-win showdown to reach the semifinal. After opening the tourney with a 4-0 win over Cloverdale, the RiverDogs fell 6-5 to Vancouver. Coulter struck out nine batters and gave up just one hit in seven innings of work against Cloverdale. Kamloops posted a 24-10 record in regular-

season play, finishing tied for third in league standings. The midget club is expected to return seven or eight players next season. “They’ll come back with some great provincial experience and hopefully be hungrier than ever,” Wandler said. Wandler’s charges fell just short of a third B.C. title this season, having won it all in 2007 and 2011. “It’s always tough to lose a championship, but you always look on the plus side,” Wandler said. “We had some great games to even get there.”

HARUMI (LUMI) HAMAOKI February 18, 1915 – July 23, 2014 Our precious mom, grandmother and great-grandma, Harumi (Lumi) Hamaoki, 99 years old, passed peacefully in the company of family on the evening of July 23rd, 2014. She was born on February 18, 1915, in Hiroshima, Japan. Lumi was married in Japan in 1938 to Ihachi Hamaoki. She immigrated to Canada (Powell River, B.C.) in 1938. She and Ihachi resided in and fished the Coast of B.C., until the Internment of the Japanese-Canadians in 1942. That same year, Lumi and Ihachi came to Kamloops, sponsored by Mr. G. Oishi, and have resided in Kamloops since. Lumi left us on the same day that Ihachi died twentythree years ago. Lumi worked as a seamstress for many years at the Hudson’s Bay Company. She enjoyed oil painting, sewing, and nurturing beauty in her bountiful flower gardens. She was a dedicated member of the St. George’s Anglican Church community, which was a loving foundation of support and comfort in her life. Lumi’s impeccable grace, modest yet unyielding resilience, flashes of sweet humour and most greatly, her love of family and friends will be honoured in all those whose life she touched. Lumi is survived by her three children Roy (Arlene) Hamaoki, Irene (Henry) Uyeda and Emi (James) Doi and her nine loving grandchildren; Michelle, Darren, Daniel, Tammy, Linda, Angela, Carl, Terry & Brenda. Fifteen great-grandchildren will also carry her light forward whenever beauty and laughter are present. The family would like to extend their deep gratitude to the Pine Grove Care Centre staff, and Dr. Howie. Through their extraordinary loving care and heartfelt presence Lumi was honoured for the person she was. A celebration and remembrance of Lumi’s life will take place on Monday, August 18, 2014, 2:00pm at St. George’s Anglican Church. In lieu of flowers and koden, donations to the Staff Fund at Pine Grove Care Centre, St. George’s Anglican Church, or the Kamloops JapaneseCanadian Association would be greatly appreciated.

Gilbert to represent Canada at Youth Olympics By Adam Williams

Austin also won six gold medals at the B.C. Summer Games, which wrapped up in Nanaimo on July 20.

As Colin Gilbert stepped on to the pool deck at the Tournament Capital Centre’s Canada Games Aquatic Centre, a throng of young swimmers was there to meet him. “Can I have your autograph?” a girl asked. Gilbert, seemingly uncertain how to handle his newfound fame, said he wasn’t sure. It may have been a brief window into the future of the Kamloops Classic Swimming club athlete, who is counting down the days until he dons the Maple Leaf. Gilbert is heading to the 2014 Summer Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China, from Aug. 16 to Aug. 28. “I’m really excited because I’ve never, ever been close to this high of a level of competition,” Gilbert said. He will race in the 400-metre and 800-m freestyle events and is one of seven Canadian swimmers making the trip. “It’s my first time representing Canada, so I’m pretty pumped,” he said. The 15-year-old had an impressive July, including a seven-medal performance at the 2014 Canadian Age Group Swimming Championships in Winnipeg, which featured the best swimmers from Canada, Ireland, Bahamas and the United States. The Classics captured 10 medals at the meet, including Gilbert’s four golds (200-m, 800-m and 1,500-m freestyle, 200-m butterfly) and three silvers (100-m butterfly, 100-m and 400-m freestyle). His times in the 50-m, 100-m and 200-m butterfly and the 100m, 200-m and 1,500-m freestyle set new club records. “It was really good,” he said. “I was obviously happy with getting the wins. That was great. There’s nothing better than being a national champion. But, I think for some of the swims the times

Colin Gilbert of the Kamloops Classic Swimming club won seven medals at the Canadian Age Group Swimming Championships in Winnipeg.

experience nonetheless. His coach hadn’t expected Gilbert would lock up seven medals at age group nationals, so anything is possible. At the very least, he can say that he has competed in an Olympic Games. “I’m going to be realistic,” Gilbert said. “As far as medalling goes, to be honest, I don’t think I will. A final would be nice, any top placings, best times. “Again, it’s my first time, but I’m just going to give it my all.”

could have been a little faster. “Overall, I was totally satisfied. But, those swims in China — I want those to be the two prime [races].” Classics’ head coach Brad Dalke described Gilbert’s performance in Winnipeg as dominant, noting his charge was so far ahead of those his age, he would have excelled against swimmers three years his senior. It was in the 800-m freestyle that Gilbert showed how he has grown as a swimmer. On one of the last days of competition, the race came at a time when Gilbert was absolutely exhausted. He was doing a lot of swimming, with between two and three events a day. The starting gun was fired and Gilbert found himself in seventh after 100 metres. Then, Dalke said, something clicked. By the 300-metre mark, Gilbert was in fourth. He continued to slowly pick off the competition, one by one. Before long, he was in control of the field. Gilbert won the race by nearly two seconds and, while it wasn’t a personal-best time, Dalke said it was the best race he had ever seen from his swimmer. Though Gilbert dominated in Winnipeg, he wasn’t the only Classic swimmer to have a strong meet. Also medalling at the agegroup swimming championships was Ethan Phillips and his brother, Austin. Ethan won the 200-m back-

“We had 11 kids at the competition. Eight of those kids made second swims,” Dalke said. “So, they’re in the top eight of their age category. The depth of our program is really starting to show its colours.” Heading to the Youth Olympic Games, Gilbert is realistic about his goals. While competing against 18-year-old swimmers, the best in the world, it will be tough to find himself in medal contention. But, he’s going to enjoy the

PUTTING A FACE ON HOMELESSNESS By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

OE SHILOH’S STORY involves paying a lot of security deposits on places barely habitable. For Dennis Lee, his story involves finding comfort and safety sleeping under a trailer — even in -40 C weather.

Brian Berube’s story includes a stop at the front desk of the New Life Mission, when he simply gave up and asked for help. There’s so much more to the stories of each person and the three others who make up the cast of a unique bit of theatre happening in Kamloops in mid-August, something the collective behind it has titled Home/Less/Mess: Bringing Stories of Homelessness Out

of the Darkness. Each of the six who has stuck with the plan since their first meeting in May has been homeless — and, for some of them, may still be. The play can best be called a work in progress as the directors, Robin Nicol and Heidi Verwey of Thompson Rivers University’s theatre-arts program, work with each actor to draw out their stories,

record them and then ensure they are in the voices of each person. They and some students hired through a research grant are listening, questioning, writing and, sometimes, marvelling at the tales being told. Verwey said hardly a day has passed while working with the six that she hasn’t felt some tears while Nichol said despite viewing herself as “a pretty left-wing

hippy-dippy who knew the system isn’t perfect, I didn’t know how bad it is until this — and we all need to know that.” The play has been in the planning stages for a couple of years, growing out of a partnership between the CommunityUniversity Research Alliance at TRU and the city’s Homelessness Action Plan (HAP).

Worth risk, ‘I have a story to tell’ Obstacles with lack of theatre experience, weaving stories together X From B1

Nichol, who has experience in collective creations, was brought in and met HAP co-ordinator Tangie Genshorek. A committee was created with representation from the Elizabeth Fry Society, the Canadian Mental Health Association, ASK Wellness Centre, the City of Kamloops, Interior Community Services, White Buffalo Aboriginal Health Society and Resource Centre, TRU and the United Way ThompsonNicola-Cariboo. It took the name No Straight Lines from an answer ASK Wellness staffer Kira Haug gave when asked about ways out of homelessness — there are no clear lines to follow, no one solution to end homelessness. Berube said being involved in the play has tapped directly into his anxiety but he believes in the message and wants to do what he can to support local agencies “that have helped me. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be here. “The New Life Mission showed me a better way to live and John Howard [Society] gave me a place to live. The services available here are topshelf. COPE-MECCA [lifeskills programs at TRU], that course, well, I was in Pacifica Treatment Centre and they gave me loads and loads of information in just 30 days and it was hard to process it all. “COPE-MECCA gave me the same information but more time to get through it and that’s what helped me.” Despite his nervousness and what he called a slow start in the project — which has ramped up as opening night nears — Berube said it’s had a therapeutic value for him that he didn’t expect. “I don’t have a choice here. I have to get up there and do it. “And, the more time

Silver & Gold A DIAMOND RING that has DIFFICULTY GOING UNNOTICED.

I spend on stage, the more confident I feel. “This is a risk I’m going to take to get up there on the stage because it’s worth it. I have a story to tell.” Lee is definitely nervous about opening night on Aug. 13 but, like the rest of the cast, he sees a greater good coming from his decision to share his story. “If I can help just one person, anybody, a homeless person, someone who doesn’t understand it, someone who’s been abused or is being abused, that’s good,” he said. “It took me 35 years of wanting to die to realize I didn’t want to die.” Working on his part of the script has been difficult, Lee said, because he plans to tell just one story. “But, it brings back all the other stories I have. It’s all interconnected.” His is a life of drug use at 10, alcohol abuse, family abuse — and the horrific secret behind it for him — jail, overdoses and, finally, the realization he had to change his story completely.

His biggest hero in the story of his life? “Me, because I had to do all this myself. I guess the hospitals were a help because I’d overdose and they wouldn’t let me die, but I had to make the decision and then do something about it. It was me who made that choice.” Shiloh’s story involves the hidden homeless — or, as she put it, “just because you pay rent doesn’t mean you have a home.” Battling physical- and mental-health issues and scarred by too many moments in her life, she’s relied on the Kamloops CMHA branch, ASK Wellness and Interior Health Authority’s King Street mental-health clinic as she has reshaped her life’s story. While the work at first made her a bit emotional, Shiloh said she now loves being on stage and rehearsing how she will tell her story because “I am not the push cart. I am someone who was always giving security deposits. Now, I’m finally in a place that is adequate.

“And, as the process has kept going, I became more vocal and it felt right. You have to feel right to get the message out and that’s what I want to do. I want to be a source of strength.” It hasn’t been an easy path, Verwey said, because the cast has no theatrical experience and the directors needed to find a way to draw out each story and knit it all together into a play. “It’s a good group,” Nicol said, “and we have come through it all in a number of ways. We’re putting a human face on homelessness.” She hopes the audience takes away three key lessons. “You can’t blame them for being home-

less. There is no one fix for it and the system isn’t working.” The play is at the Stage House Theatre, 422 Tranquille Rd., Wednesday, Aug. 13, to Saturday, Aug. 16. Performances are at 7:30 p.m., with a 2 p.m. show on Saturday. Tickets are $20 at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca. The cast, crew and supporters also ask audience members to consider bringing something that can be shared with the city’s homeless, be it new socks, toothbrushes, gift cards, shampoo or other hygiene products.

Miata like first kiss — always memorable By Jim Robinson SPECIAL TO KTW

wheels.ca

O THIS DAY, IN MY experience, nothing has caused quite the stir as the original Mazda Miata. Now in its 25th year of production, I think I’ve driven one every year for the last 25 years, not to set some kind of record, but for what it offers — the spirit of a sportscar. I didn’t invent that slogan, Mazda did, but it sums up what this charming little two-seat roadster is all about — having fun. You had to be there in 1989 when Mazda, out of the blue, debuted the Miata (now called MX-5) at the Chicago Auto Show. It was a breath of much-needed fresh air. It was the worst of times for the auto industry. The domestics, in particular, were palming off horrid automobiles such as the K-Cars, Topaz/ Tempo and A- and J-body GM cars that, for the General, hastened its decline into near oblivion that almost resulted in it ceasing to exist. While the Japanese stuck to quality over quantity, the same could not be said for the Europeans, especially the British. Arguably, England had created

what we consider today as the twoseat sportscar, boasting names such as Triumph, Jaguar, TVR, MG, Morgan and Sunbeam. In truth, they were horrid pieces of yestertech with great cast iron lumps of engines, wire wheels that needed to be re-laced every six months and carburetors going back in design to the First World War. The platforms were coldwelded mild steel tubing or ladder frames with virtually no chassis rigidity or crash protection, as we know it today. “Swaying like a reed in the wind” was a phrase I read long ago describing the chassis flex of an Austin Healey 3000, which was extremely accurate. The worst of all was the weather protection, which consisted of a bunch of wire hoops over which

was stretched a meager covering of canvas. There were no such things as windup windows, let alone power. You placed a clear plastic panel with small sliding air inlets between the doorsill and top and that was it. Back then, owning a sportscar meant being a sport when it came to the weather. You had be to a real sport when it came the repair bills, particularly to tuning the carburetors. And, suddenly, there was the Miata. A stout, for the time, unibody chassis with power windows, a leading edge twincam-engine and, glory be, a top that could be raised with one hand — it was perfect. We are now in 2014 and the

MX-5 (Mazda dropped Miata some years ago) and that simple, yet inspired design has remained basically unchanged for a quarter of a century and has become the largest selling sportscar of all time. I will always remember my first Miata like my first kiss. It was a 1990 in French Mariner Blue with alloy wheels modelled after the very popular MiniLite wheels used on full-race Minis. With a 1.6-litre, twincam fourcylinder with all of 114 hp and 100 lb/ft of torque and a super short-throw five-speed manual driving the rear wheels — it was perfect. There was enough power to have fun, but not enough to get you into trouble. During that first 1990 drive,

kids on the street gave me the Victory-wave, people followed me down the highway grinning and my neighbours descended on it when I drove home. Over the years the MX-5 has evolved with a 1.8-litre engine for second generation and a 2.0-litre in the third generation up until today, but never with turbos and senseless power that detracted from the original concept. Tested here is a 2014 MX-5 GS, which is the middle of the three trim levels offered. With standard six-speed manual transmission (automatic optional), its trusty two-litre four-cylinder produces 167 h.p. and 140 h.p. With premium fuel recommended, mileage is 9.7/7.1L/100 km city/highway. There is a five-speed manual standard on the base GS while the topline GT comes with the works, such as the six-speed automatic and a power metal retractable hardtop. At a list price of $37,840, the GS, is the way to go with Bilstein shocks, limited slip rear differential, front tower stress bar and gunmetal 17-inch alloys. The power retractable roof was included in the price, which makes it a bonus. Twenty-five years and 25 MX-5 Miatas later, I can say I enjoyed each and every one.
