Conservatives will not legalize marijuana

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Peter MacKay speaks to reporters in Kamloops on Thursday, Aug. 21. The federal justice minister was in town to attend a closed-door criminal-justice forum. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, MacKay acknowledged Colorado and Washington state are collecting millions in tax revenue from the legal sale of marijuana, but reiterated his Conservative party has no intention of following suit with legalization or decriminalization in Canada. Dave Eagles/KTW

Legal marijuana sales in Washington state are ringing cash registers all the way to the treasury, but Canada’s justice minister said his government is watching the downside of retail pot.

Justice Minister Peter MacKay was in Kamloops on Thursday, Aug. 21, to attend a closed-door criminal-justice forum with police, lawyers and advocates. He told reporters afterward the Conservative government is wary of other aspects of legal pot and easier access, including impact on early-childhood development.

The latest numbers show Washington state marijuana users spent $127,000 a day in the first month of legal sales. The state will earn about $1 million in taxes during that first month as a 25 per cent tax is levied at each of the production, processing and retailing levels.

Both Washington and Colorado have legalized pot sales. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has pledged to make marijuana sales legal in Canada.

“We’re concerned with the prolific rise in impaired-by-drug-driving that’s happening,” MacKay said.

“We know the impact it has on productivity. Weighing all that against the position some have taken that we should legalize or decriminalize — that’s not the position and will not be the position of our government.”

Despite the stand, MacKay said the Conservative government plans to pass legislation allowing police to ticket pot users rather than sending them through the courts, what he called “giving them [police] more options.”

But, he added, it is not tantamount to decriminalization because CriminalCode sanctions will remain.

“If it’s a second or third or fourth instance, they can pursue criminal options,” he said of police discretion to recommend criminal charges for possession of small amounts of marijuana.

MacKay’s visit comes as RCMP in

B.C. face a budget squeeze and must cut upwards of $4 million from homicide and organized-crime budgets.

Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller said the cuts will not directly affect operations in the Tournament Capital, but could impact joint investigations.

“It was a little disappointing to hear those cuts were announced,” said Mueller, adding Mounties remain staunch in their efforts to stop gangs from gaining a stronghold in Kamloops.

MacKay said the Conservatives have increased federal transfers to the provinces.

“As far as more policing and more enforcement, I’m proud of the fact our government is doing just that.”

The justice minister said his government has an ambitious legislative session for the fall. He warned it will be difficult to get all the bills through the House of Commons before the scheduled federal election in October 2015.

He said bills include that “life means life for those worst offenders,” as well as a victim’s bill of rights and a childpredators bill.

“We’re running out of runway,” he warned. “We know when we return to Parliament in September, we’re in a preelection cycle. There’s limited hours for debate.”

Meanwhile, MacKay said the federal government will not heed calls from First Nations leaders in B.C.’s Interior for a national inquiry on missing and murdered women. He said he spoke this week with former Attorney-General Wally Oppal, who headed the provincial commission.

“He was very clear in saying it’s all there — all of those studies taken in unison or taken individually . . . lay it all out for all levels of government,” MacKay said.

Government action, he said, includes funding for aboriginal-justice programs, a missing-persons DNA system, onreserve supports and early intervention, along with supporting aboriginal women having the right to matrimonial property.

‘It’s not an easy creature to eradicate’

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The six-legged immigrant arrived in B.C. two decades ago, hitching a ride on some long-forgotten plant from Eurasia.

The European fire ant is so aggressive, said Thompson Rivers University researcher Rob Higgins, that yards and patios become unusable once infested; homeowners can’t walk on the lawn or even send their dogs outside for fear of repeated bites from the insect’s mandibles that feel like wasp stings.

And the typical remedies of poison don’t work because it targets only the workers. Baits, brought back to the nest, are ineffective because colonies typically have 20 or so queens and not all of them ingest the poison.

Until recently, the menace was a Lower Mainland problem because the insects prefer warm and moist conditions.

The sole known

How did they get here?

The European fire ant is an invasive species that first arrived in North America in 1900, on a ship arriving in the Boston area. It took decades to spread extensively, but was first noted in Canada in Quebec in 1915.

— tru.ca

Interior location where a European fire ant colony has been located is in Naramata.

But, efforts to fight the insect by drying out the surrounding area have not worked so far — in fact, the infestation is spreading, causing new concerns about the ant’s abilities to adapt.

“They’ve spread a little farther than I anticipated,” said Higgins, who visited the site in the South Okanagan and who catalogues sites throughout B.C. — occasionally running into a homeowner who won’t allow access for fear of the information harming their property value.

“They have a major impact on people,” said Gail Wallin, executive director of the Invasive Species Council of B.C, who called the infesta-

tion in the dry, southern Okanagan “a surprise.”

The insect has climbed high on the list of the council’s most wanted because it is so aggressive with people and pets.

The original location in Naramata was at a seniors’ complex and neighbouring municipal area in a highly irrigated lawn area. Higgins recommended cranking down the water because the ant thrives in moist conditions. Unlike native species, fire ants do not mound on the surface in colonies but live at the root level in soil.

“They’ve spread beyond that [original location in Naramata] to at least one adjacent block,” he said.

The new colonies have budded from the original infestation and Higgins called them “semi-independent.”

Higgins was recently awarded a $100,000 grant from the province to continue mapping and developing methods to control the ant. He is studying use of lowwall aluminum exclusion fencing buried in surrounding gardens to keep ants from reinfesting.

No control program is easy.

Higgins has experimented with trap nests under paving stones.

The captive colony can then be destroyed in a deep freeze or flooded with boiling water.

Wallin said the regional district in the south Okanagan has ability through bylaws to require a complete stop to watering, for example, in order to destroy the Naramata infestation. For now, Higgins will continue mapping it and advises shutting down all irrigation, including to decorative shrub and flower beds.

For those concerned about bringing the ant home to Kamloops, Higgins advises looking at plants and particularly

at soil to ensure there are no ants (fire ants are difficult to distinguish from native ants). If so, do not take the plant home.

The Invasive Species

Council is hoping for legislation in the future to more aggressively tackle both invasive plants and animals.

For now, vigilance is

the best answer.

“You want to stop them spreading,” Wallin said.

“It’s not an easy creature to eradicate.”

BCTF to hold special assembly in Kamloops

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

About 200 members of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) will be in Kamloops on the weekend for a special assembly to discuss bargaining and plan for the future.

The annual summer conference will include members of the BCTF executive, local presidents and other representatives, all of whom who will meet at Thompson Rivers University on Saturday, Aug. 23.

Part of the gathering will include a mass rally on the campus by striking/locked-out teachers, who will gather at the corner of Summit Drive and McGill Road at 12:45 p.m.

Today (Aug. 22), the representatives will meet to discuss a variety of issues, including the ongoing labour situation and state of negotiations.

One issue that has generated a lot of questions and concerns by local teachers is an Aug. 15 letter from the B.C. Public School Employers’

Association (BCPSEA), the province’s bargaining agent.

In the letter to the BCTF, the BCPSEA advises the lockout of teachers has been adjusted to include professional-development days and classroom preparation prior to the school year beginning.

The BCTF has advised its members to not enter schools while the strike/lock out continues.

David Komljenovic, president of the KamloopsThompson Teachers’ Association (KTTA) and a member of the provincial bargaining team, has advised local teachers he expects job action will continue into September.

The KTTA has a meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 26, at TRU to provide information to teachers on what to expect in coming weeks.

Beginning on Monday, Aug. 25, picket lines will be returning to school sites, including the Henry Grube Education Centre on Kitchener Crescent, the Kamloops Open Online Learning school on Springview Place and the Kamloops-Thompson school district offices on Ninth Avenue.

It’s Plan B for international high-school students

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops-Thompson school district administrators are getting ready for the educational year to begin — or not, depending on the state of the labour impasse between teachers and the provincial government.

Superintendent Karl deBruijn said international students who will start to arrive in Kamloops at the end of the month will be focusing on cultural and recreational activities should teachers remain on strike and locked out by the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association.

“We won’t do any work that would be done in schools,” deBruijn said, noting any extra time spent helping the students acclimatize to Kamloops will ease their transition from their homelands.

On average, the school district sees about 80 students arrive through its international program.

The majority of students come from China, but others arrive from Northern Europe and South America.

The district is also making plans to deal with student registration, should the labour situation continue past the scheduled first day of school on Tuesday, Sept. 2.

DeBruijn said principals and support staff are in secondary schools now, preparing for the school year and accepting registrations.

However, he said, with picket lines expected to return next week at all school-board properties, other arrangements may be necessary.

Unionized support staff won’t cross any B.C. Teachers’

Federation picket lines, but principals must go to work and can process new-student registrations, deBruijn said.

He expects there will be parents who don’t want to cross picket lines, so an onlineregistration option is being considered, although face-to-face confirmation is still required to provide schools with the student’s birth certificate and proof of residency.

The first few weeks of the school year are always somewhat unpredictable, deBruijn said, because of the unknowns — students expected back who may have moved away, new families coming to the city during the summer or parents of kindergarten-aged children who may have missed the spring registration call.

“We never really know what we will face,” deBruijn said.

Former CEO Graydon repays BCLC $55,000 Legal counsel for the B.C. Lottery Corporation has reached an agreement with former BCLC president and CEO Michael Graydon that resulted in him paying back money he received after leaving to work for a private casino company.

Under the agreement, the BCLC has received full repayment in the amount of $55,171.20, which includes total net salary and holdback Graydon received from Feb. 4 to March 31.

The BCLC did not request

repayment of $30,960 in vacation pay, noting Graydon is legally entitled to those funds.

Until this announcement, which was made on Thursday, Aug. 21, NDP Leader John Horgan had said the B.C. Liberal government should have taken Graydon to court to retrieve bonus money paid to him after he was found to be in a conflict of interest.

A report commissioned by the the province found Graydon was in a conflict of interest when he

negotiated with a private gaming company for two months before informing the BCLC board he was leaving.

The province’s gaming and enforcement branch also investigated Graydon’s activities in his new role with a company that wants to develop a $500-million casino next to B.C. Place Stadium in downtown Vancouver.

Kamloops businessman and former Social Credit cabinet minister Bud Smith joined the BCLC board in May 2012 and was

appointed chairman in August 2013.

He has declined to comment on the story, only issuing a statement on the BCLC site, on which he said, in part, “The board made decisions on the handling of Mr.Graydon’s resignation based on the information he provided to us at the time.

“The review shows that the information provided by Mr. Graydon to the board and BCLC was incomplete and/or inaccurate.”

Students on way, but Help Prevent Heart Attacks with TRU has no fear of ebola Vitamin C and Lysine Powder

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thompson Rivers University is expecting 10 international students from Nigeria — but the school is assuring people there’s nothing to worry about with respect to the ebola virus.

There are many reasons why the university is being vigilant and prepared, but not concerned, said vice-president advancement Christopher Seguin.

Among those reasons are the fact the journey from the African country to Canada takes two days, a trip that is not feasible for someone who has the virus.

The virus doesn’t spread through casual contact or in the air, as does the flu, and people can only be infected through direct contact with bodily fluids.

There’s a rigorous process in place at airports in Canada, with quarantine officers flagging any flight coming from a country with communicable diseases. The officers have the power to put someone into quarantine if they suspect they might be sick, according to documentation from the Public Health Agency of Canada provided by the university.

The World Health Organization also said on Aug. 18 the risk of the virus being transmitted during air travel is low.

Nigerian officials announced on Thursday, Aug. 21, they have the virus under control.

The country’s minister of health, Onyeabuchi Chukwu, said his government has received praise from various organizations and the U.S. government for how well it has contained the disease.

So far, only five Nigerians have died from the disease.

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.

Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies.

The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day.

This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.

As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine!

I turned 90 this year.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

ALS viral fundraiser has made an amazing financial splash

E

VEN MY DAD HAS warmed to the idea of dumping ice over his head for ALS research.

When CFJC-TV’s Kent Simmonds challenged my father to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge this week on local television, I had to laugh.

My dad doesn’t have enough time in the day to stop for lunch, let alone participate in the latest online viralmarketing campaign.

And, with it all taking place primarily in social-media-land — outside of my dad’s Ebay Internet routine— how would he even know what it is or how to do it?

He had 24 hours.

For all of the other dads out there who are scratching their heads, I will back up a few steps.

The goal of the challenge is to raise awareness of and funding for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the degenerative illness also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

It involves dumping a bucket of ice water over one’s head, “challenging” others to do so within 24 hours and posting a video of it all to social media.

The campaign has been seen flying around social media in past weeks and it’s been entertaining to watch.

Those without buckets have used bowls, pots or — though frowned upon — bottles of chilly H2O. From the tech-savvy teen to the late-night TV host — every celebrity and their purse-pooch has participated.

JESSICA WALLACE Generation

GAP

Bill Gates dumped ice on his head, a method “better than it’s been done,” he said, and had over 11-million hits for his YouTube video — and counting.

Social-media personality and Phoenix Coyote Paul Bisonnette went to elaborate lengths to make an original splash.

He and a film crew travelled into the mountains to dump icy glacier water on him from a helicopter while he stood atop a peak in a Speedo.

Slow-motion video footage caught the whole thing.

Oprah Winfrey did it — and she nominated Steven Spielberg, who also did it.

Former U.S. president George W. Bush did it — and he nominated his predecessor, Bill Clinton. Vin Diesel nominated Vladimir Putin.

Lady Gaga did it without flinching, Britney Spears dropped an F-bomb in hers and Charlie Sheen had his own version — enough said.

Failed attempts have also been compiled online.

Challengees have been hit in the head by buckets on countless occa-

sions and have slipped on the wet ground beneath them.

It has all been a hoot to sit back and watch.

But, while we’ve all been cracking up over Bisonnette’s spotted-print butt, the truth is, behind the scenes, these videos are working.

As of Wednesday, Aug. 20, the ALS Association based out of Washington, D.C. reported a major spike in donations as a result of the hype.

The non-profit group noted it had received $31.5 million in donations from July 29 to Aug. 20, compared to collecting $1.9 million during the same time period last year.

And, if you thought Gates donated all of it, the association also reported 637,527 new donors.

Back in Kamloops, Simmonds was successful for another reason.

He was able to honour the memory of his friend and co-worker, Clayton Smailes, who succumbed to ALS in 2009.

Smailes lives on in the name of a good cause and the tragic effects of the disease are in the spotlight, gaining money — and attention — however briefly.

My dad even figured it out.

The only question left is whether this will be a recurring fundraiser or a one-hit-social-media-wonder.

Perhaps we can shed some light in a couple of months, come Movember.

A bleak scenario means time for Plan B Peter Fassbender, the province’s education minister, believes a deal with teachers can be hammered out before school is set to re-open on Tuesday, Sept. 2.

But, while many hope the province and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) can work out their differences before the end of the Labour Day long weekend, there is still a chance that a deal can’t be reached in time.

Not encouraging is the fact BCTF brass will be in Kamloops this weekend, meeting and rallying, rather than at the bargaining table, negotiating with the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association.

While mediator Vince Ready has imposed a gag order on both sides, Fassbender made the media rounds on Thursday, Aug. 21, which only angered BCTF president Jim Iker, who expressed his displeasure in a press release.

This entire saga has crossed the border from silly to ridiculous.

So, what is a parent to do?

Employ Plan B. Now is a good time to talk to your kids about the school year, and new routines, and stock up on school supplies.

At the same time, just to be ready, families should make alternative plans in case school doesn’t open on time.

There will be strike camps offered for kids, while private learning facilities will certainly be reaching out.

Nobody likes uncertainty but, with a little foresight, families can be prepared for what’s ahead.

Here’s hoping the bell does indeed ring early on the first morning after Labour Day.

Editor: I am having a little difficulty conjuring up sympathy for federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau regarding the recent breakin of his Ottawa residence.

My indifference to his plight does not apply to his wife and children.

Indeed, Trudeau’s family has been victimized and I fully understand their sense of vulnerability.

It is sad.

As for Trudeau, I have to ask: What kind of father leaves his family alone in a

major city these days without at least the minimal level of security?

Does he not know that, for as little as $30 a month, he can protect his family and home with motion-sensing security lights, anti-intrusion alarms and video surveillance?

In fact, for someone of Trudeau’s public profile, I would have thought he would have had some sort of live security service, even if it is not provided from the public purse.

He is, after all, a millionaire.

Re: Story: TCC leak to be plugged:

“The city should work out details with D&T and Stantec before any work proceeds.

“These companies made huge errors during construction and should be held accountable.

“This hefty bill should not be the responsibility of the taxpayers.

“Also, I would like the city to show the other bids that were given for the repair work.

“The city should be embarrassed about how horribly they have handled this situation and, before any work commences, should provide proof to the public they are managing the city’s money properly.”

Trudeau can even get a major reduction on his home insurance by having these services in place.

Then again, if he doesn’t have antiintrusion alarms, he quite possibly hasn’t thought of the need for insurance, either.

This incident is either a staged event intended to gain sympathy or an example of just how naive and ill-prepared Trudeau is to lead the country.

Is this another bozo eruption?

Editor: I am a Pastafarian.

I was pleased to read the Aug. 19 KTW article Turning Heads, which touched on the subject of religious headgear worn by Sikhs while riding a motorcycle.

This issue affects not just one, but all religions, when it comes to laws that state what can and cannot be worn.

I, too, ride a motorcycle and have been pulled over countless times by police while wearing the colander (headpiece worn by Pastafarians).

I believe all religious headgear should be exempt from the helmet law “without discrimination based on religion,” as stated in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Act of 1982.

I applaud the Sikh Motorcyle Club for exercising their rights and hope one day Pastafarianism, and all other religions, can also be free to express themselves, regardless of whether or not they are on a motorcycle.

This is, after all, about the freedom of religion.

Our local native leaders are justified in demanding some action.

He has until Oct. 10 to make up his mind, as that is the day nominations for the Nov. 15 election close.

Will Denis Walsh run?

Says former Kamloops councillor: ‘I’m thinking about it and not about it’

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Denis Walsh isn’t surprised when a reporter asks him if he’s planning to run for mayor.

Rumours that the former councillor and downtown business owner would take a run at Mayor Peter Milobar’s as-yetunchallenged seat have swirled for months.

But, as of yet, Walsh hasn’t decided if he’ll return to the political game — or if the mayor’s chair is the seat to seek in the Nov. 15 election.

“I’m thinking about it and not about it,” Walsh told KTW. “I just want to be sure I can fully commit for four years to that position, whichever that position is.”

Walsh, who owns Moviemart, served on council from 2008 to 2011 before leaving politics to focus on family and his business ventures.

More recently, he’s been active on the newly formed Downtown and West End Residents Association, which mounted an unsuccessful campaign to keep the KamloopsThompson school district from closing Stuart Wood elementary.

Walsh said staying out of the Kamloops political scene doesn’t come naturally.

“I’m quite a political junkie and so it’s hard to just sit back and watch my city take shape without being part of that,” he said.

But, Walsh added, the provincial government’s decision to expand terms for councillors to four from three years as of this election makes a return to politics a more serious commitment.

“It ups the ante a little bit for some reason — four years,” he said.

A final decision on whether he’ll run could be a month away.

Walsh said he would like to have about 60 days on the campaign trail, giving him until mid-September to commit to the race — though he notes Dieter Dudy, 2011’s most serious challenger for mayor, started his campaign about a month before election day.

“I think it’s healthy for our political process and democracy to have somebody step up,” said Walsh. “Will it be me? Will it be someone else?

Stay tuned.”

Thus far, Mayor Peter Milobar and every incumbent councillor — save for Nancy Bepple, who stepped down earlier this year due to health reasons — have announced they will seek re-election.

Dudy and former Kamloops Chamber of Commerce president Bob Dieno have announced they will seek a seat on city council.

Nominations open on Sept.

30 and close on Oct. 10.

Gardengate summer salsa challenge is here!

There will be at least one more hot weekend this year, with Gardengate’s summer salsa challenge taking place today (Aug. 22).

No McArthur Island tax office in 2015

The home of Kamloops Disc Golf, Rose Hill Park, is due to $100,000 in upgrades, but it will be left to the city council that is elected in November to decide how and when that money will be spent.

Timeline uncertain for park upgrade The home of Kamloops Disc Golf is due for $100,000 in upgrades, but it will be up to the next Kamloops city council to decide if changes to Rose Hill Park begin in 2015 or at a later date.

City parks and facilities manger Jeff Putnam told council that, in talking with community members, better green spaces, trails and parking were top concerns.

The upgrades would include an irrigated green space with picnic tables, as well as more benches and signs for trails.

Council agreed to add park improvements to the list of supplemental items up for consideration as part of the 2015 budget debate, but Coun. Tina Lange warned it may take some time to get the park upgrades funded.

“In my experience, a lot of times these wish lists have the same items on them for two or three years before a budget is found,” she said.

“I don’t want the people of Rose Hill to get all excited and then be crushed if it doesn’t go through.”

Taxpayers on the North Shore will have to head to city hall downtown in 2015 if they want to pay property taxes in person, after city council this week decided to make a payment centre on McArthur Island a onetime deal.

The North Shore centre was set up in June to reduce the number of people paying their taxes in person at city hall while major roadworks were underway.

The McArthur Island site attracted about 2,600 taxpayers.

In total, more than 8,700 residents paid their taxes in person at both locations.

Manager of taxation and revenue Parissa Bhullar said the city spent about $20 for every person who paid on McArthur Island.

Councillors gave the North Shore payment site mixed reviews.

Ken Christian said the city should stick to educating people on other ways they can pay property taxes, which are gaining in popularity.

About 4,000 people paid their taxes at financial institutions

CITY HALL and about 9,200 paid online.

“I think offering a permanent tax place on the North Shore is akin to offering them a VHS store over there,” Christian said.

“It doesn’t make much sense in this particular generation.”

However, Pat Wallace thinks the site is worthwhile.

“I just think that the North Shore deserves to have that opportunity to go there and I think, as it continues to be there, the numbers will go up,” she said.

While council had the option to put the cost of the centre — $49,000 this year and an estimated $45,000 for 2015 — on the list of supplemental budget items up for debate in 2015, it instead voted to scrap the idea for good.

“People want $49,000 in pothole [repairs] instead,” said Nelly Dever.

Building proposal off to public hearing A plan to replace a

single-family home and an office building with an 18-unit apartment complex is headed to public hearing.

D&T Developments has applied to rezone 801 and 807 Battle St. from commercial and two-family residential to multiple-family residential.

The two lots would together house a threestorey development with mainly one- and two-room units.

City staff are supportive of the plan, which they say meets the city’s goals for densifying the downtown.

Council digs in to help park event

Wallets came out at the council table on Tuesday, Aug. 19, as a group of Kamloops city councillors pitched in cash to cover a park-use fee for a community event without using city money.

Organizers of Recovery Day, set to take place at Riverside Park on Sept. 6, had asked to have their park-use fee waived to help offset some of the costs of the event.

But, some councillors worried that agreeing to the request

would lead to a deluge of groups asking for free park use.

“I think that giving $60 to the group is not a problem. One way or the other, we can get them money, but through the public purse is not a good way,” said Coun. Arjun Singh as other councillors fished $20 bills out of their bags.

Recovery Day runs from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and features a speaker and screening of the film The Anonymous People.

City to borrow $9m to fix Overlanders

An alternativeappeals process is underway as the city seeks to borrow $9.3 million to fix the deck and western sidewalk on Overlanders Bridge.

Borrowing for the project, slated for 2015, will go ahead unless 10 per cent of the city’s eligible electors, 6,841 people, turn in a formal objection.

Elector-response forms are available online at kamloops.ca and at City Hall, 7 West Victoria St. They must be turned in no later than 4 p.m. on Sept. 26.

LOSING PATIENCE

BY DALE BASS • STAFF REPORTER • DALE@KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM

Hilda Kurulak asked Royal Inland Hospital one question: What will it do to ensure no other patient is be exposed to what she went through?

That was in mid-May. As of today, she is still awaiting an answer.

The 69-year-old said she had surgery on April 15 that left her in a bed with 148 staples in her left leg, running from her ankle to her groin — the result of an operation to deal with blood clots.

In her letter to RIH acting administrator Nancy Serwo, Kurulak recounted the experience that led to her anger.

She shared a room for two days with a female patient who was discharged.

That patient was replaced by a male patient who, Kurulak said, “started yelling and trying to remove his IV and catheter.”

She called for help, nurses arrived and tried to calm him, but the behaviour continued — and escalated — during the night, with the man grabbing Kurulak’s bed and her leg as he attempted to get out of his bed.

“He was very confused, loud and using foul language while trying to remove his clothing,” Kurulak wrote to Serwo.

She asked the administrator what the hospital would do to ensure a similar situation didn’t happen again, telling KTW she believes it’s the result of inadequate staffing and a need for people with mental-health issues not under control to be provided with an attendant.

Serwo told KTW Kurulak’s three-month-old complaint is still being investigated and she cannot predict when a final report will be ready.

The complaint was referred to the Interior Health Authority’s Kelowna-based central patientcare quality office for investigation and Val Slater has been dealing with the issue.

That office was established when the Ministry of Health ordered all health boards in 2008 to create a body to receive and respond to patient complaints with “a clear, consistent and timely patient-complaint process,” according to ministry documents.

Health boards are expected to complete their review within 120 business days and respond to the complainant within 10 days.

Serwo noted Slater covers a large part of the IHA region and is dealing with several medical facilities in her role.

She said the review process needs to be “clear, transparent and timely” and that Slater has been working with Kurulak as she prepares her report.

For her part, Kurulak would like to see something similar to the process in place in many residential-care facilities, where people with reduced or compromised mental capacities and who need monitoring have attendants providing care.

Noting she has no fear of being around those with mental illnesses — her mother worked with people with mental illnesses while they lived in Lumby — Kurulak said a care aide would benefit patients like the man she dealt with.

“They’re scared, they’re upset and someone should be there,” she said.

“I’m not mad at the hospital,” Kurulak said.

“I just want it to deal with this. I want the hospital staff to show some responsibility and use your brains, people.

“What if that had been a 16-year-old girl he grabbed? Or a 90-year-old?”

COMMUNITY

Lacing them up for 25th annual Kidney Walk

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Jeannette Taylor awoke from her nine-day coma, the first thing she asked about was the Kidney Walk.

“She wasn’t remembering very much else, but she knew exactly the date of the walk and she knew exactly the date of the interviews,” said Debbi Lang, Taylor’s daughter.

“So, she wasn’t clear about a few other things, but those things she was absolutely sure of.”

The 77-year-old had been looking forward to participating in her fifth walk this weekend in Riverside Park, when the 25th-annual event begins on Sunday, Aug. 24, at 11 a.m. (registration is at 10 a.m.).

Unfortunately, Taylor will have to keep tabs on the trek from inside Royal Inland Hospital.

With her health deteriorating in recent weeks — she is battling kidney failure and is on dialysis — getting to Riverside on Sunday won’t be an option.

It’s a disappointing development for the woman who has spent years championing the Scooter Team — a group of motorizedscooter driving participants who take part in the annual fundraiser.

The idea came to Taylor while she rode the HandyDART one day.

With so many of its users piloting motorized scooters and power chairs, Taylor knew there was an opportunity to create awareness about the scooters, as well as people’s kidneyrelated illnesses.

Since that day, it has always been her dream to be at the helm of a block of scooters for the Kidney Walk.

Linda Bonner-Brown (left) and Jeannette Taylor catch up in Royal Inland Hospital. Taylor and Bonner-Brown are hoping scooter and power-chair users come out in droves for this year’s Kidney Walk, which will take place at 11 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 24, in Riverside Park.

Taylor didn’t hold back when asked what it would mean to her to see a good turnout on the weekend.

“It would the best thing that has ever happened,” she said.

Taylor isn’t alone with her kidney-related illness.

According to Royal

Inland Hospital’s (RIH) renal unit, 1,068 people in the Kamloops area are living with kidney problems.

Of those patients, 145 are on dialysis — 59 at home and 86 at the hospital — with another 828 in the predialysis stage.

There have been 95

successful transplants in Kamloops. Seventy-five individuals are waiting for a kidney in the Tournament Capital, with some having waited as long as 10 years.

Being confined to RIH for the weekend doesn’t mean Taylor’s initiative will fall by the wayside.

Linda BonnerBrown, Taylor’s friend, and a volunteer with the Kidney Foundation of Canada, is now organizing the Scooter Team, putting her own group — Linda’s Memorial Team — on the backburner.

“She said she loves me for trying,” BonnerBrown said.

People In Motion and MEDIChair are among those also lending support.

“I put my team aside. I’m still doing it, but I put hers front and centre,” Bonner-Brown said.

“It’s really powerful,” Lang said of her mother’s idea.

“My mom, she’s very passionate about certain things.

“So, when she realizes what a difference the Kidney Walk makes, the awareness and how important it is that people understand how

crucial this experience is, she puts everything she has behind it.”

Despite Taylor’s hard work, it has been difficult to get people out to the walk on their power chairs.

As a result, MEDIChair this year has donated 10 Tim Hortons $10 gift cards to the cause, in hopes of driving up registration.

The first 10 scooter registrants will receive a card. If there are 20 or more participants, a draw will be held for a $25 Sears gift card.

Bonner-Brown is still looking for members to join the Scooter Team, as well as her Memorial team.

Interested parties can call her at 250-5792274.

McArthur Island hopes the same for KYSA, City

Dave Spendlove stands inside the Eighth Street building that will be home to Soccer Quest’s new indoor facility. The organization is slated to begin program offerings on Oct. 15.

It appears Dave Spendlove’s indoor soccer facility won’t have any impact on the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association’s plans for the Tournament Capital.

In fact, just days after construction began on Soccer Quest’s new facility — which will occupy the former Liquidation World building on Eighth Street — KTW learned KYSA is in the process of using the Kamloops Dome for its winter soccer offerings.

“What we’re looking at doing at the moment and, in fact, the likelihood is very strong, is that we would take over the present soccer dome in Mount Paul,” said KYSA executive director Keith Liddiard.

“We feel we would be behind the 8-ball if we didn’t have a facility like that available for our winter training. So, we’re looking at the prospect of leasing the building, or even some kind of an arrangement with the owner so we can keep it open.”

“It’s not going to impact our plans at all,” KYSA president Graham Cope echoed. “I honestly do believe there’s more than enough user demand in the city to support both venues.”

Liddiard described the talks with Kamloops Dome owner Guy Mercier as “fairly urgent” with the winter season quickly approaching.

Cope, who is actively engaged in the talks, reported to Liddiard and the KYSA board earlier this week on the proposed arrangement. The president’s report included discussion of financing options and assessed the leasing of the dome to be “affordable.”

Cope declined to give KTW a timeline for when KYSA would take over the Kamloops Dome, but confirmed KYSA is “actively working to that end.”

Spendlove constructed the Dome, which is located at 313 Nishga Way in the Mount Paul Industrial Park, in 2003. He parted ways with the facility and his business partner in 2008.

Liddiard said the Dome would act as a stopgap for KYSA, which still has hopes of erecting a fullsized indoor soccer facility on McArthur Island.

“We still will be 100 per cent behind, and will push for as best we can, or lobby for, a new indoor facility,” Liddiard said.

As it stands, Cope said the Dome is “stressed to the max” and will be again this winter. KYSA, the new Whitecaps FC Academy Centre, the Brocklehurst middle school sports academy and the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack soccer programs will be among the groups sharing time in the facility.

KYSA and the city’s adult soccer leagues have been working with the City of Kamloops to explore the feasibility of the McArthur Island plan, which would see the facility built on the land currently occupied by the McArthur Island Youth Centre.

A NEW QUEST Dave Spendlove embarks on a new venture, opening a Soccer Quest indoor facility in Liquidation World’s former home

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

I

n a few short months, the North Shore will be home to Kamloops’ second indoor-soccer facility.

Dave Spendlove, president of Soccer Quest, has leased the former Eighth Street home of Liquidation World and is scheduled to open a 20,000-squarefoot indoor-soccer facility by Oct. 15.

Construction to convert the facility began this week.

“Soccer Quest is opening an indoorsoccer facility,” Spendlove told KTW on Friday, Aug. 15, standing in the gutted building with soccer nets, balls, and turf samples littering the floor around him.

The building’s remodel has been a long time coming for Spendlove. He tried to lease the building in 2001, but was a few weeks behind another prospective tenant.

He went on to build the Kamloops Dome at 313 Nishga Way in 2003.

When Liquidation World vacated the

building earlier this year, its owners contacted Spendlove to see if he was still interested in the space.

He jumped at the opportunity.

After securing the necessary building permits and going through a rezoning process with the City of Kamloops, Spendlove began the conversion this week.

“Basically, all we have to do right now is take out a lot of the duct work that’s in the ceiling,” he said. The building is 18 feet tall and will house a soccer pitch measuring 185 feet by 80 feet.

New lighting fixtures, arena-style dasher-boards, a concession and bar and locker-rooms and showers will also be a part of Soccer Quest’s new home.

Spendlove said he has been involved in the construction of 12 indoor-soccer facilities in his time. He built a similar facility in Nelson, which remains in operation today.

The new Kamloops location will be much larger, he said — Nelson’s ceilings,

for example, are just 13 feet high.

Soccer Quest will begin its program offerings in October, including basic skills courses for kids between the ages of four and seven, league play for youth players and a number of age-specific adult leagues, both recreational and competitive.

“One of our main focuses is to go for the house-league kid, from four years old to 10 years old, that has been ignored in town the last few years,” Spendlove said.

“We had that before we left [the Kamloops Dome], so we’re now going to focus on that.

The facility will also house rep-development programs and Spendlove said he hopes to begin a high-school program down the road.

Soccer Quest will employ its own complement of full-time, licensed coaches, meaning parents won’t have to worry about being coaches at the facility, he said.

Spendlove has big expectations for facility X From A15

Though Spendlove knows it won’t happen overnight, he is expecting big things from his newest venture.

He had success with the Kamloops Dome before he parted ways with the building and his business partner in 2008. He said it will take time to build the player base at Soccer Quest’s new facility, but he’s confident he has done his due dilligence.

“When I left the indoor facility [the Kamloops Dome] . . . we had 1,200 players playing out of there,” he said. “The numbers have dropped significantly in town.

“That building is now getting towards the end of its time, so the

opportunity came up to build this, so we’ll build this.”

Soccer Quest will open at the beginning of October for a few test runs and scrimmages. Programs will begin on Oct. 15.

The facility’s coaching staff is scheduled to arrive in Kamloops at the beginning of September.

Spendlove said the turf is slated to arrive in two weeks.

Soccer Quest’s playing surface will be a myoflex turf, with rubber infill — a surface he said is intended for use with soccer, unlike the rubber-underback surface at Hillside Stadium, which is meant for football.

Kamloops This Week contacted the Kamloops Dome but representatives for the facility could not be reached for comment.

Discussions on possible facility preliminary X From A15

That discussion is still in the preliminary stages however and its future is far from certain. The stakeholders have been trying to decide how big the facility would need to be — the hope is it could house regulation-sized pitch, which could be divided into three smaller fields using curtains — the cost of building it and who would foot the bill.

Jeff Putnam, facilities and business operations supervisor for the City of Kamloops said the groups are discussing concept and financing and are nowhere near making any detailed decisions.

The groups had planned to get together in the fall to continue discussions and will now need to explore what impact, if any, Spendlove’s facility will have on their plans.

Putnam sees Spendlove’s facility as a positive for Kamloops.

“I think it’s really positive news

The Kamloops Dome will likely be under KYSA control this winter.

Dave Eagles/KTW

for Kamloops soccer,” he told KTW. “We have identified indoor soccer as one of the few facilities that we don’t have enough of in Kamloops.”

“I think there’s lots of demand.

I mean, there are 4,000 soccer players in the city, so there’s plenty of demand for soccer. So, I think it is positive news for the soccer community to have an additional facility so soon.”

Liddiard said KYSA will need

to explore the possibility of making some improvements to the Dome if they take it over — the heating system, for one, doesn’t seem to be working properly — but, the organization would use the building largely as is.

Spendlove’s building will be a private facility, for exclusive use by Soccer Quest. The Dome will be available for rent, Liddiard said, though KYSA will take priority.

Kamloops athletes win at Canoe and Kayak nationals

Kamloops has been well represented this week at the Canadian Sprint Canoe and Kayak Championships in Regina this week.

The event, which began on Tuesday, Aug. 19 and runs through until Saturday, Aug. 23, has thus far seen one Kamloops native medal.

Aaron Rublee, who is from Kamloops but paddles out of the Burloak Canoe Club in Oakville, Ont., captured gold in the C1-200 metre canoe final on Tuesday, Aug. 19. He finished the race with a time of 42.972 seconds.

TOURNAMENT CAPITAL SPORTS

Cory Rublee, who also trains in Oakville, was in the final, too, but finished fifth. He also grabbed seventh in the C1-500m.

Paddling out of the Kamloops Canoe and Kayak Club are Michael Lanyon, Spencer Robinson, Conrad Belliveau, Alexander Demishkevich, Aiden Tabata and Jacob Brochu. Gemma Hansen, also of Kamloops, is paddling for Canoe and Kayak B.C. As of KTW’s press

time, none of the Kamloops-based racers had medalled.

Races continue through Saturday.

Perfect on the pitch

Duffy’s Pub scored a shutout victory over NRI Distribution in Aug. 20 Kamloops Recreational Soccer League action, winning the 45-plus match 4-0.

Rob Bison, Mark Bartle, Kelly McGonigal and Peter Tsigaris scored the markers for Duffy’s.

Also on the pitch, Kamcon beat B.C. Rivers Consulting 6-0.

Todd Wiseman, Craig Galbraith, Dan Perry, Troy Fenrich and Jeremy Cook had the goals.

On Thursday August 14th & Friday the 15th, thieves were very active throughout the city breaking into vehicles. These suspects will talk up and down the streets looking for valuable inside the vehicle, usually at night when they are not going to be seen. Once something of valuable is noticed, a door handle is tried, if locked, window is smashed out and the items are taken. The suspect do not care of what the item is as long as they resale the item to make money and most times the money is used to buy drugs. Items taken have included; Men’s rain gear, wallets, I pods, cameras, binoculars, a pink Lulu lemon bag. Even a Mercury 6 hp outboard was taken from the back of a boat that was parked in the drive way of a residence. It is most likely, the suspects are using a vehicle to get around the City and transport the stolen items.

Kamloops player reflects on European Excursion

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The 2014 World Selects Invitational under-16 hockey tournament didn’t go as well as Anna Morrish would have liked.

The forward, who is from Kamloops and skated last season with the Kamloops Mystixs, was playing in the Hungary tournament with the Northern Alberta Hockey Association Panthers. Play wrapped up earlier this month.

Morrish’s team went 1-6, losing games to Sweden, the West Coast Selects, Spartak and Slovakia. They also lost a pair of matchups against SHD Europe.

“It was really great to just travel with the team and sightsee,” Morrish told KTW. “The hockey went — we only beat one team, because it was a really high-level hockey tourna-

ment and I think we might have been a little under-prepared.

“But it was crazy-fun and it was really different because it was Olympic ice and there was two 25-minute periods . . . so it took a while to get adjusted.”

The team’s lone victory came in a shootout against Slovakia.

Morrish, an alternate captain for the Panthers, picked up one assist and two penalty minutes in the tournament.

Despite her team’s struggles, Morrish said she enjoyed her first stint of international hockey.

“I was definitely pretty proud of myself,” she said. “I felt like I was representing my province, and even my country, there.”

Following the trip, Morrish tried out for, and made, the Vernon Lakers of the female midget AAA league. She will suit up for the club full-time this fall.

It was just the latest achievement in a young career full of promise.

“It was a great overall experience,” Morrish said. “I would go back in a heartbeat to play hockey like that.”

The tournament received international fame when video of an incident involving Spartak defender Svetlana Starovoytova and Hannah Bates of the West Coast Selects was posted online.

The clip showed Starovoytova delivering a two-handed slash to the back of the Bates’ head, breaking her stick on the American’s helmet.

Surprisingly, Bates was unharmed.

Starovoytova was ejected from the game and didn’t play again in the preliminary round, though returned later in the tournament.

CIS launches scholarship pilot project for women’s hockey programs

By Donna Spencer CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY— Canadian Interuniversity Sport has launched a women’s hockey pilot project offering more scholarship money to see if it can keep athletic talent in the country.

Almost 4,000 Canadians are on NCAA rosters in the United States, including 400 female hockey players, according to new CIS chief executive officer Pierre Lafontaine.

In addition to tuition and fees, Canadian university women’s hockey teams are now allowed to cover room and board. But they will operate under a financial cap limiting how many scholarships can be offered.

Lafontaine hopes the five-year Women’s High Performance Hockey pilot project provides data which can be used to slow the flow of Canada’s top student-athletes across the border.

To make it easier to return to the CIS from the NCAA, the rule requiring a Canadian athlete to sit out for a year if they switch was eliminated.

“If we offer scholarships, is it making a huge difference?’’

Lafontaine asked. “Is the scholarship the difference or is it some-

thing else? We’ll have a better understanding of all of that within the pilot.”

Lafontaine says the wheels were already in motion to make women’s hockey a scholarship test case when he took over as CEO in January. It’s also a sport that sees a significant exodus to the U.S. Canada’s under-22 women’s team opened a three-game series against the U.S. in Calgary on Thursday, Aug. 21.

Of the 22 players named to that team, 20 will play in the NCAA in 2014-15. One will play in the CIS for McGill University and one has yet to decide where she will play her post-secondary hockey.

High school athletes and their parents are often dazzled by the prospect of a “fullride” scholarship to an NCAA school.

A New York Times article in 2008 reported the average annual female-hockey scholarship at a Division 1 school to be $20,540.

It’s difficult for Canadian universities to compete for elite athletes like those on the under-22 women’s hockey team.

While a school’s reputation and location, along with the quality of the athletic and educational programs, factor into an athlete’s decision, money

talks loudly.

Sweetening the scholarship package may get athletes to look closer at the CIS option.

If it gets them on campus for a visit, that’s when coaches can sell them on other qualities of the hockey team and the university.

“I think it’s going to get more kids to take it seriously,” said University of Regina coach Sarah Hodges.

“The fact they can be offered full tuition and living expenses, it changes the game a whole lot.

“That’s something we can offer now that we couldn’t before. If we are able to get them here to visit and see what we offer, we’re

usually pretty successful.”

“The intent would be that we would be able to keep some of the top players at home,” York University women’s coach Dan Church added.

“Of that top five per cent that’s going to the NCAA — whatever the percentage is — we might be able to have some of those players playing at Canadian institutions.”

The CIS’s cap is 70 per cent of the total cost of tuition, school fees, room and board for 14 players. Each team’s cap will be different because those costs differ from province to province.

a few players large scholarships, or spread the money around with “partial scholarships” to more players.

“There is a reporting mechanism put in place,” Lafontaine said.

“We want to make sure they don’t break the cap.

“Your room and board, tuition and fees are $11,000 for example.

I can’t go and say ‘You know what? I’m going to give you $14,000.’”

As an example, Hodges says a player’s tuition and fees at the University of Regina over five years costs about $20,000. Add room and board and it jumps to between $50,000 and $60,000.

Hodges says giving a scholarship for the latter would be the exception rather than the rule.

“For the coaches, we’re going to have to be pretty selective of about who they’re offered to,” she said.

“If they’re offered one of these in Canada, it’s still pretty special.”

All 33 CIS women’s hockey teams can participate in the pilot project, but not all are doing so. The university, or the team, has to come up with the money to cover the increased cost of scholarships under the program.

An informal survey of women’s hockey teams indicated 10 were

either already using the pilot project as a recruiting tool or planned to do so, while 11 said they were not involved.

“Just because they’ve changed the rules doesn’t mean the money pot is there,” Church said.

Blayre Turnbull of Stellarton, N.S., is entering her senior year at the University of Wisconsin. Canada’s under-22 assistant captain was recruited by Atlantic universities, but the NCAA was more financially attractive.

“Obviously they put some offers out on the table that I wasn’t offered by CIS schools,” Turnbull said.

“Being offered full scholarships definitely has an effect.

“Why would someone want to pay for school when they have the option to get it for free?”

Obituaries & In Memoriam KELLY MICHELLE RIDDELL (NEE KALNIN) APRIL 14, 1971 ~ AUGUST 9, 2014 It is with great sadness we announce the death of our dear Kelly. She was predeceased by her mother Elaine Kalnin and is survived by her children, Bailey (16), Meghan (13), and Nathan (9) and their father Blaine.

She is also survived by her father Chuck, her brother Neal and his wife Lara and their children Stephen & Calla. Kelly was a ‘care-giver’ by nature, always considering the needs, wellness and happiness of others. Kelly will be greatly missed by all of her extended family and her many friends.

Born April 14, 1971 in Penticton, Kelly spent her childhood and youth in Kamloops, graduating from Brocklehurst Senior Secondary. She has lived in White Rock and South Surrey for the past twenty years. Throughout her life and various careers, Kelly maintained a strong affection for all things related to nature, spending many hours outdoors with her camera—hiking, cycling and bird watching. She had a fondness for music too, playing the clarinet and piano in her youth and recently taking up drumming.

A celebration of Kelly’s life will be held at St. Paul’s Cathedral, 360 Nicola Avenue, Monday, August 25, at 11:00 am. Later, an informal gathering will be held in the White Rock area at a location, date and time to be determined.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the food bank or another organization that cares for those in need would be appreciated.

IN MEMORY OF

Happy 31st Birthday in Heaven

To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me When I am gone, release me, let me go, I have so many things to see and do, You mustn’t tie yourselves to me in tears, Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave to you my love, You can only guess how much you gave to me in happiness, I thank you for the love you have all shown, But now it’s time I travelled on alone.

So grieve a while for me if grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust, It’s only for a while that we must part, So bless the memories within your hearts.

I won’t be far away, for life goes on, So if you need me, call and I will come, Though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near; And if you listen with your hearts, you’ll hear all my love around you, soft and clear.

Should any of you come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a smile and ‘Welcome Home.’

From your loving family.

Fifteen years have passed Since you left us, dear.

The memories remain And we always hold them near.

Remembering you now and always, Love Mom and Payton

Happy Birthday up in Heaven from your Family here below.

We love you and miss you ♥, and want to let you know your birthdays aren’t forgotten, and your memory lives on.

We celebrate your life with us even though you’re gone. Were God to grant us just one wish then make that wish come true, you’d be here right beside us and we’d spend this day with you. And while here for your birthday you would be so hugged and kissed that you would know before you go how much you’re loved and missed.

So Happy birthday our precious Son, Bro, Uncle & Friend.

♥ We love you, ♥ Mum, Dad, Kyle, Char, Lil’ Jessie & Family ♥

We thought about you yesterday And days before that too.

We think of you in silence, We often speak your name.

Now all we have are memories, And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is a keepsake, With which we’ll never part.

We love you more than words can say, And you are forever in our heart.

The tears of grief Have washed away The clouds of sorrow, And vision now is clarified I miss you still, But see you new In light of joy And smile at your remembrance Missing you, Auntie Fran (Uncle Joe), Cousins Liz, Jeanie, Susan and Kathy.

Ever wanted to name a star? Enter this contest

T

ATOOINE IS, YOU will surely agree, a pretty stupid name for a planet, but there are so many Star Wars fans that some unfortunate world is bound to end up being called exactly that.

Let’s just hope that its inhabitants, if there are any, never find out. On the whole, though, giving more userfriendly names to newly found planets orbiting other stars is a good idea.

There is, for example, a potentially habitable exoplanet only 16 light years from here that is currently known only as Gliese 832c.

As any real estate agent could tell you, it would attract a lot more attention if you renamed it Nirvana.

There are gazillions of stars, and only about 300 have proper names (Antares, Procyon, Sirius) in any language. Some of the other bright ones are named after the constellation they are in, with a Greek letter or a number to indicate which one they are (Alpha Centauri, 61 Cygni).

But, most are just a number in a star catalogue.

Jerome Lalande’s, published in 1801, had 47,390 stars, Henry Draper’s, published in 1918, listed 225,300.

Gliese 832 was named in a list of 3,803 “nearby” stars (up to 72 light years away) first published by Wilhelm Gliese in 1957, and updated several times since.

The C was added when Gliese 832 was discovered to have planets two months ago.

All very sensible and orderly, but not very romantic.

So, the International Astronomical Union called in the consultants, and the result was (pause for trumpet flourish) a competition!

The NameExoWorlds contest, announced last year, will give the global public an opportunity to give more exciting or at least more memorable names to about 300 planets circling other stars.

Starting next month, a site will open on which astronomy clubs and other non-profit organisations can register with the IAU, and in October

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH they will be asked to pick 25 or 30 of these planets for the first round of naming.

Starting in December, these clubs and organisations can propose names for the planets and their host stars (only one planet per group), and in March the general public can rank the proposals in an online vote.

They’re expecting more than 1 million votes.

The winning names will be announced at the IAU General Assembly in Honolulu a year from now — and Tatooine will certainly be one of the winners, provided that George Lucas gives his permission. (There might be a copyright issue.)

But, Vulcan will not be one of the names (sorry, Trekkies) because he was a Roman god, and names of religious figures aren’t allowed.

The IAU’s naming rules are the most interesting part of the exercise.

Names may not be longer than 16 characters, they should only be one word and they must be pronounceable in some known language (though not necessarily yours). They shouldn’t be rude, they must not be of a commercial nature and the names of pets are not acceptable.

Most importantly, they cannot be the names of living individuals, nor the names of individuals, places or events principally known for political, military or religious activities. Which would have caused a lot of problems if the rule had already been in force during the last big round of naming places.

Imagine that the IAU’s rule had been in force in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, when European sailors and settlers were sprinkling names on all the “new

lands” in the Americas and Australasia.

No New England, no Melbourne and certainly no El Salvador. No Sao Paulo, no Los Angeles and no Sydney.

The southernmost Australians dealt with the problem in 1856 by changing their island’s name from Van Diemen’s Land (he was a former governor of the Dutch East Indies) to Tasmania (Abel Tasman was simply an explorer, and safely dead by then).

But, New Zealand would not pass muster on the word count, and New South Wales is simply ridiculous.

Waterloo in Canada will have to go, as will Washington (both the city and the state) in the United States, and they’ll have to do something about Bolivia too.

But, the biggest problem will be what to do about the Americas: Two entire continents called after an individual who was still alive when they were named.

Amerigo Vespucci, originally from Florence, moved to Spain in 1492 and subsequently became involved in organising various voyages of exploration to the New World for the kings of both Spain and Portugal.

In 1507 he was credited by the German geographer Martin Waldseemuller with discovering that these lands were not part of Asia, as Columbus had originally believed, but a huge separate land-mass between Europe and Asia.

On his world map of that same year, therefore, Waldseemuller named that land-mass “America,” after the Latin version (Americus) of Vespucci’s first name.

But, Amerigo Vespucci was still alive — he didn’t die until 1512. The name caught on, as it happened, but Waldseemuller broke the IAU rules.

It’s never too late to fix a mistake, but what shall we call the place instead?

I know. How about the continents of North Tatooine and South Tatooine? And, of course, the United States of Tatooine.

Backlogged social-security panel stops tracking results Kenney OKs additional staff to help tackle problem

By Lee-Anne Goodman CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada’s new social-security tribunal has suddenly stopped tracking the results of thousands of appeals launched by ailing Canadians after they’ve been denied Canada Pension Plan disability benefits.

In documents obtained via the Access to Information Act and provided to Canadian Press, the federal employment ministry says it “does not track’’ how many appeals have been allowed and dismissed since the tribunal’s inception a year ago.

The documents are dated Aug. 11, 2014. In May, however, the government provided the results of more than 300 appeals, the majority of which were dismissed.

The tribunal was created in April 2013 to provide a more efficient appeal process for employment insurance, Canada Pension Plan and old age security decisions.

The Conservatives said the new system would save taxpayers $25 million annually.

‘They are terrorists and must be punished’

By Bill Graveland CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — A prominent imam intends to draw attention to what he calls the “un-Islamic’’ beliefs and actions of ISIS in light of the murder of a U.S. journalist.

Imam Syed Soharwardy of Calgary plans a 48-hour hunger strike beginning today to create awareness about the terrorist group.

Soharwardy, founder of Muslims Against Terrorism and the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada, is condemning the beheading of journalist James Wright Foley.

“I want to let everyone know that ISIS is not a part of Muslim community,’’ said Soharwardy, who also plans to address his congregation before his hunger strike.

“ISIS is using Islam to destroy peace and create a negative image of Islam. They are terrorists and must be punished.’’

The imam says Foley’s death and that of thousands of civilians in Syria and Iraq are “crimes against humanity.’’ He predicts the violent activities of ISIS won’t remain limited to the Middle East.

“They are actively working and recruiting Muslim youth in Canada,’’ he said.

“I want to let everyone know that ISIS is not a part of the Muslim community.’’

Last week, Foreign Affairs said it had reports of a Canadian being killed in Iraq.

But, officials couldn’t confirm it was Farah Mohamed Shirdon, a former Calgary man CBC identified as having been radicalized in Canada and as having gone to the Middle East to fight for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

Soharwardy said he is worried that could inspire other radicalized youth to follow Shirdon’s example.

Earlier this year, CBC aired a propaganda video of Shirdon burning his Canadian passport and threatening U.S. President

Barack Obama.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper said this week that Foley’s murder by Islamic State militants in Iraq is part of a “disgusting’’ terror campaign across the entire region and which threatens more and more countries.

“This terrorist caliphate in our judgment represents an increasing long-term threat to the security of our own country,” Harper said.

“It is that serious.”

“We have been in ongoing contact with our principal allies, and we will be announcing some additional steps that we will be able to take with them in the days ahead.’’

Soharwardy said ISIS must be stopped immediately.

“They are terrorists and must be punished. If the United States and all other governments will not unite against ISIS and free the areas of Syria and Iraq occupied by ISIS, the ISIS sympathizers will create havoc everywhere.’’

Day joins company looking to build B.C. refinery for Alberta bitumen CALGARY — Stockwell Day has joined the leadership team of a Vancouver company that’s planning to build a $10-billion bitumen refinery on the West Coast.

The former federal and provincial cabinet minister has been hired as senior adviser and director by Pacific Future Energy Corp., which says its refinery will be the world’s greenest.

In a release, Day said his experience representing British Columbia

federally and serving in Alberta’s cabinet gives him a “unique vantage point’’ about what’s needed to make the project happen.

One of the biggest concerns of pipeline proposals like Enbridge Inc’s Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain expansion is the prospect of huge bitumen-laden tankers navigating coastal waters.

The Pacific Future proposal — along with others being floated by newspaper magnate

David Black and by aboriginal businessman Calvin Helin — would mean refined products, rather than heavy oil, would be shipped on tankers to Asia, making a potential spill much less environmentally damaging.

Pacific Future, whose team also includes venture capitalists and former government advisers, aims to pick a site for the refinery by the end of this year and enter the regulatory process next year.

Source of E. coli outbreak still unknown

EDMONTON — Alberta Health Services says 122 people across the province have fallen ill in the past month from what it calls an outbreak of E. coli bacteria.

The agency says 17 of those who reported getting sick have been put in hospital.

Health officials say about 80 per cent of the victims dined at Asian restaurants, but they’re not sure which food products might be the culprit.

Dr. Chris Sikora, AHS Medical Officer of Health, said the origin of the contamination may never be found.

Singing songs about boobs and dongs Alberta duo’s Dirrty Show is part song, part comedy and double-R-rated

By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

K

AYLA Williams was trained in classical music and now she sings about hairy balls.

The 27-year-old Alberta woman never intended to go into comedy, nor did she plan for the vulgar and sexual humour that ultimately became The Dirrty Show.

“That’s just where it went,” she said.

Williams attributes the nature of the show to her relationship with the other half of her musical-comedy duo, Melody Stang, also 27.

The two women grew up together, having met in Grade 3, and each studied music throughout high school and college.

They eventually began working in the same Red Deer music studio teaching voice and guitar lessons respectively.

They goofed around while songwriting together and the honesty of their relationship translated into laughs about sex.

“We’re just best friends that know everything about each other, probably too much,” Williams said.

They’ve honed their “double-R-rated” show for the last three years.

“We put a comedic spin on anything that’s sexually related,” Williams said.

That can mean songs

Kayla Williams and Melody Stang, both 27, are bringing their sexually-explicit musical comedy show to Kamloops tonight (Aug. 22.)

about myriad of seual acts and titles such as Titty Shake, Hairy Balls, Just the Tip and Queef Anthem.

“Not everything is from personal experience and, yet, everything is fairly truthful,” Williams said.

It’s not all song, either.

They round out their show with banter, stories and improvisation.

“We’re very theatrical with our performance,” Williams said.

Their humour will hit home for adults of all sexual preferences — heterosexual to LGBTQ. “Usually we say come with an open mind,” she said. “As long as you’re not super sensitive.”

They just returned from a successful Toronto tour — one

They’ve had a few people walk out of their show. But, they know a recipe around the “awkward.”

“Any shot of your choice,” Williams said.

“It gets less awkward the more drunk you get.”

“We’re not trying to offend people. We’re just trying to have fun.”

Detox Your Body Naturally

Silvercrest features:

If you’re feeling sluggish, have low energy, or are having difficulty concentrating, it could be time for an internal cleanse. Your body regularly detoxifies itself by eliminating toxic materials through the kidneys, liver, colon, and bodily excretions. Cleansing boosts the body’s ability to perform this detoxification more thoroughly. Come in and learn more from our knowledgeable staff.

Hydration Proper hydration facilitates the detoxification process. It is recommended to drink onehalf of your body weight in ounces of water per day. Also, a daily supplement of essential fatty acids, such as omega oils, lubricates membranes allowing for optimal performance and the removal of toxins.

Live well.

Live organic.

Fibre Daily intake of 50% soluble and 50% insoluble fibre is essential for the removal of toxins. Soluble fibre absorbs the toxins that have been eliminated by the liver, without dehydrating the colon.

Insoluble fibre works to sweep the toxins off of the intestinal walls to allow for removal.

$5 OFF When you spend $40 or more on Vitamins and Supplements.

Cleansing Herbs Herbs such as Burdock, Nettles, Milk Thistle, and Dandelion are known for their cleansing abilities. Each one of these herbs aids in the detoxification process by either stimulating the start of detoxification, expediting the removal of toxins, or aiding in healing essential organs.

Notice to Electors of Alternative Approval Process Overlanders Bridge Rehabilitation This notice is to advise electors in the City of Kamloops of the intention to adopt the "Overlanders Bridge Rehabilitation Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 14-1-174". The purpose of the bylaw is to borrow an amount not to exceed $9,300,000 to finance the cost to resurface the Overlanders Bridge including concrete repairs to the deck, new membrane, asphalt surfacing and the reconstruction of the 430 metre pedestrian sidewalk on the west side of the bridge, that will be repaid over a period not to exceed 15 years. It is estimated that the borrowing will result in a tax increase of $15.58 per year for the average residential property. A copy of Bylaw No. 14-1-174 and a summary of the proposal are available from the Legislative Services Division at City Hall during business hours each business day of the week.

For project details, please contact Darren Crundwell, Capital Projects Manager, at 250-828-3535 or dcrundwell@kamloops.ca.

The City of Kamloops proposes to borrow the money to rehabilitate Overlanders Bridge unless, by 4:30 pm on September 26, 2014, at least 10% of the electors in the whole of the City of Kamloops sign an elector response form opposing the implementation of the proposal unless the City of Kamloops holds a vote. The number of elector responses required to prevent the City of Kamloops from proceeding unless a vote is held is estimated to be 6,841. A report respecting the basis on which this determination was made is available upon request from the Legislative Services Division, City Hall.

healthy landscapes, healthy living

proper lawn care Have a lawn you can feel good about. Here are three lawn care tips that will save time, money and water:

1. Mow High Leaving grass 5 – 7.5 cm (2-3”) tall, shades the roots and helps prevent evaporation.

Grass grows deeper and stronger roots that can overpower weeds. Avoid cutting off more than 1/3 of the grass height.

Elector responses are required to be submitted to the City of Kamloops on forms that can be obtained during regular business hours from the Legislative Services Division at City Hall; the form may also be downloaded from the main page of the City of Kamloops website at www.kamloops.ca.

The only elector response forms that will be accepted by the City of Kamloops are the ones provided by the City of Kamloops, or an accurate copy of the form.

Only electors of the City of Kamloops are eligible to sign the elector response forms. There are two types of electors - resident electors and non-resident property electors.

Resident elector - a person who is a Canadian citizen, is 18 years of age or older, has resided in BC for the previous six months and has resided in the City of Kamloops for the previous 30 days prior to signing an elector response form.

Alternative Approval Elector Response Forms

2. Grasscycle Leave grass clippings on the lawn when mowing. Eliminate bagging and raking and reduce watering and fertilizing.

3. Water Properly Water deeply, but infrequently. This means watering 1 - 2 days per week, but when you do, give your grass about 2.5 cm (1") of water. As with mowing high, this also produces deeper stronger roots and helps the grass withstand dry periods.

Other practices that will encourage a healthy lawn: Dethatching – Aerating – Topdressing – Overseeding - Fertilizing Consider mixing White Clover in with your lawn to out-compete weeds as well as reduce water and fertilizer needs.

Try corn gluten meal to manage weeds. It is an organic fertilizer that prevents the germination of seeds, however, it does not control existing weeds.

Notice to Electors

Alternative Approval Process – REVISED DATES Fire Hall Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 753, 2014 Pursuant to Section 86 of the Community Charter, this notice is to advise electors in the District of Logan Lake of Council’s intention to adopt “Fire Hall Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 753, 2014”. The purpose of the bylaw is to authorize Council to borrow, an amount not to exceed $2,540,650, to finance the cost of the construction of a new main fire hall on the site located at 120 Chartrand Place that will be repaid over a period not to exceed 10 years. It is estimated that the borrowing will not result in a tax increase for the average residential property.

Service Change Effective August 31, 2014

Council may proceed with the adoption of the bylaw if the Alternative Approval Process is unsuccessful and less than 10% of the electors of the District of Logan Lake, sign an elector response form indicating that Council must obtain the assent of the electors (vote), before proceeding. The number of elector responses required to prevent the District of Logan Lake from proceeding unless a vote is held is estimated to be 171.

The Alternative Approval Process elector response forms will only be accepted if they are in the form established by the District of Logan Lake. Only electors of the District of Logan Lake are entitled to sign the elector response forms and an elector may only sign one form. The forms are available at Municipal Hall, #1 Opal Drive, Logan Lake, BC starting Friday, August 15, 2014 at 8:30 am. The deadline for submitting the signed Alternative Approval Process elector response forms opposing the bylaw is 4:00 pm on Tuesday, September 30, 2014. All elector response forms must be submitted to the Corporate Officer in person, by mail or courier. Postmarks are not accepted as date of submission.

ONE HIKE WITH 10 STUNNING B.C. VIEWS

By Jane Cassie

SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

W

E DID a lot of hiking when we were first married.

It was a couple of decades and a dozen pounds ago so, when Brent suggests we reconnect with Mother Nature’s tundra trails, I’m skeptical.

“It’ll be fun,” my Olympian-fit husband assures me. “And we’ll start out easy — like the hike at Buntzen Lake.”

Childhood memories flash back to this picnic spot just east of Anmore; canoes on still waters, sandy beaches edging the shore and a lowlevel trail rimming the perimeter.

Even my aging knees can handle this two-hour saunter.

But, instead of taking the low road, we

head for higher hills.

Intersecting the southwest corner of this glistening gem is a mountain route that takes us up, up and away.

“Don’t worry,” Brent says. “We don’t have to do the 15-kilometre loop.

“If the going gets too tough, we can turn back after any one of the viewpoints.”

As well as Diez Vistas Trail being a little more than a walk in the park, I discover it is aptly named; 10 heart-thumping ascents and 10 summits.

Our tag-along schnauzer is excited.

She seems to have reclaimed some puppy pep and is as hyped as my hubby about the challenge.

“How can I let them down?” I think.

My confidence grows when we venture to the wide-grade path bisecting the forest, crossing a floating bridge and leading to a gravel road.

Then, the real trailhead and uphill begins.

By the time we pass under the hydro lines at the two-and-a-quarterkilometre mark, I’m the one who needs a power surge.

Switchbacks scroll the mountainside and take us closer to the heavens.

And, while huffing and puffing my way to the first summit, I’m ready to throw in the towel.

But, it’s too early.

Our pooch — transformed mountain goat — is having the time of her life and is running circles around me.

I, not the dog, will be the one needing a pacemaker after the journey.

Our trail forks to the right, rising sharply to the first summit and we’re finally privy to that hiker’s reward.

A drop-dead — pardon the pun — view of unfolding mountains goes

on forever.

“It gets even better,” Brent claims, when I respond with an oxygen-deprived, “Wow.” Although it’s a poor choice of words, he’s piqued my interest.

I’m not sure if this is just a ploy to keep my rubbery legs going, but the dog seems to be in agreement, as she wags her stubby tail and skitters onward.

I diligently follow, doing my slow but steady plod.

Nature has a magical way of instilling peace.

I’m not sure if it’s the clear mountain air or simply escaping the city pace but, somehow, I feel symbiotically connected to the surroundings and internally calm.

We continue in silence, each of us lost in our own thought.

At an elevation of 560 metres, we’ve conquered the brunt of the bluff and the ridge-top plateau is now more forgiving.

My heart has stopped drum rolling.

I’m breathing within normal range.

Life is good. And, as Brent promised, so are the next nine viewpoints.

Beyond the treefringed Deep Cove, our overview includes the metropolis of Vancouver, snowtipped

North Shore peaks and a scattering of distant islands.

Other pinnacles showcase different views: The finger-like fjord of Indian Arm, blue-smudged Tony Onley-type landscapes and the wilderness that stretches beyond. We take time to soak in the beauty and visual overload from each summit and agree that this hike is worth the sights!

Down, down to lower ground.

By now, I’m motivated to give it my all.

And after four more kilometers of rugged terrain, I can proudly say I’ve reclaimed my hiking legs — unlike our carried canine.

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.
