Tranquille Market corner-store employee Dian Schiekowski says business has dropped markedly since teachers went on strike. Her store is at Tranquille Road and 12th Street, directly across from NorKam secondary.

STRIKE HAS IMPACT ON BOTTOM LINE DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tranquille Market is usually hopping with kids.

They show up before class starts across the road at NorKam secondary and make quick trips during breaks. “We do a huge lunch business,� said employee Dian Schiekowski, who has been working there for about 14 months. “There’s a big rush after school, too.�

Not now.

These days, the store is closing two hours earlier, locking the doors at 6 p.m. — and it’s pretty quiet during the day, with students not in school and teachers walking picket lines. “There’s always a lot of them in the morning, getting their water or juice or coffee,� Schiekowski said. “There’s nobody now.�

Down the highway in Vernon,

one of the go-to sites for teachers has also been affected by the dispute between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government.

In fact, Lynella Henke’s daughters should be in school now.

Her youngest one was looking forward to starting kindergarten, eager, Henke said, for the “big countdown that didn’t happen.�

Instead, the Vernon mom has hired a tutor to work with her kids four hours a day.

Henke is feeling the impact of the teachers’ strike/lockout in another way.

As the owner of Vernon Teach and Learn — a teachers’ supply store popular with teachers throughout the province and into Alberta — the summer was dead. “Usually, teachers are busy shopping in July and August,� she said. “This year, it was super quiet. “We are definitely feeling the

crunch with teachers and schools not buying, but also schools not paying their bills since May is putting a financial stress on our business.�

Karl deBruijn, superintendent of the Kamloops-Thompson school district, said his district isn’t one of those owing Henke.

Henke has seen one side of her business start to pick up. Parents are buying curriculum packages that cover the core subjects from grades 1 to 8. “With about 200 pages of practice, I feel confident that these books will help the students through these weeks of strikes,� she said of the books, which retail for $19.95, plus taxes.

Vanessa Gammel, owner of Tumbleweed Toys in Sahali Mall, said she hasn’t seen a decrease in teachers coming to buy supplies, but has noticed an increase in parents entering the store.

They’re buying workbooks,

science kits, educational games, electronics kits — anything that will help keep their kids engaged and learning.

Gammel said she will be adding curriculum packages like those Henke sells to her stock of workbooks, with the packages expected to be available sometime next week.

While she wasn’t sure of what the retail price will be, Gammel said it would be in line with that charged at the Vernon store.

Staples — an outlet that would normally see teachers buying supplies — is feeling the pinch from the work stoppage.

Madaline Secarean, who works in marketing and communications at Staples’ head office in Ontario, said company policy won’t let her share the actual dollar value. “However we can tell you that our business is being impacted.�

Brown: ‘In hindsight, I should have stopped it’ TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A senior Kamloops Mountie “shut down” a constable when he bragged about having watched two female prisoners engage in a sex act in a jail cell.

RCMP Cpl. Kelly Butler took the stand yesterday (Sept. 11) on Day 3 of Cpl. Rick Brown’s trial in Kamloops Law Courts on one count of breach of trust by a public officer, detailing a discussion she had with Const. Evan Elgee at the end of their shift on Aug. 18, 2010.

Butler said she was in a detachment office when Elgee approached her with a smile on his face.

“He came up and he said, ‘Hey, did you hear what happened?

There was a couple of girls getting it on in cells and there was some full-on fisting,’” Butler testified.

“I told him that’s not really funny and he said, ‘Yeah, one of them was HIVpositive.’

“When he first came to me, he was smiling and it was

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Rick Brown

pretty jovial.

“Once I shut him down, he wasn’t smiling and, at that point, he just walked away.”

That conversation prompted Butler to send an email to a superior, asking for the matter to be investigated.

Brown is standing trial in B.C. Supreme Court on one count of breach of trust by a public officer.

He was charged following an incident in the now-infamous sex-in-cells incident.

Brown, a veteran Mountie with more than two decades of police experience who was watch commander at the time, watched via closedcircuit camera with six other men as two drunk female prisoners engaged in explicit sex acts for more than

30 minutes.

At no point did anyone intervene in the sex acts.

A few days later, Brown and Butler spoke on the phone — a call that was recorded by the detachment’s phone system — and he admitted he should have done things different.

“In hindsight, yeah, I should have stopped it,” he said during the conversation, which was played in court.

“In retrospect, you’re right. It shouldn’t have happened.

During the call, Brown referred to Butler’s email as opening “a can of worms,” referencing the fact the cellblock is under video surveillance.

“If you look on the video, I bet I didn’t look great — plus I’m the supervisor,” Brown said.

“Good Lord,” Butler replied.

Four people were initially charged after the incident — Brown, constables Elgee and Stephen Zaharia and jail guard David Tompkins.

The charges against Elgee and Zaharia were later stayed. Tompkins pleaded guilty last year and was placed

on a year-long probation term.

Brown has been on paid leave since the incident came to light more than four years ago.

AM I ENTITLED TO JOB SECURITY? Generally speaking, non-union employees are not entitled to job security. This often comes as a surprise to many people.

An employer can release an employee for many different reasons. For example, economic factors may change and an employer may need to downsize its operations. Essentially, as long as the reason for dismissal does not violate human rights, an employer can let an employee go for any reason. If the dismissal is without cause, meaning that it was due to no fault of the employee, an employer must provide the employee with either reasonable working notice of the dismissal or payment in lieu of notice.

The period of notice will vary depending on several different factors, including the employee’s length of service, age, position, education, etc.

BUSINESS EXCELLENCE FINALISTS NAMED CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A local committee interviewed each of the 462 entrants to this year’s Kamloops Chamber Business Excellence awards to come up with a shortlist of 46 nominees.

Chamber president Aleece Laird said that represents 25 per cent growth in the number of nominees in four years.

“It tells you there’s incredible engagement of the business community with the Chamber and the importance of recognizing business excellence,” she said.

More than 100 Chamber members attended the awards finalists nomination event at Kamloops Ford Lincoln on Wednesday (Sept. 10) evening.

Among nominees for the premier award are city accounting firm owner and chairman of this year’s Brier, Norm Daley, RUNClub founder Joe Berry, Jason Paige with Acres Enterprises and Brenda Coleman from mortgage broker Invis.

A group of 45 community members and business representatives narrowed down the 462 entrants to get to the shortlist.

The committee will now interview each of the finalists again, what Laird called “a tonne of work,” to come up with winners in each of the categories.

Winners will be announced at a Chamber gala on Nov. 1 at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre on Rogers Way in Aberdeen.

Nominees include from corporations, franchises, independent and home-based businesses.

Venture Kamloops says strike having impact From page A3

Shawn Harnett, a local chef and owner of At Your Service Catering, believes “every single business owner with kids is affected by this.”

“Since the strike, I have not been able to provide for both my kids and my customers at the same time, so I go back and forth like a tug of war,” the father of young children said.

“I want to arrange some permanent long-term solution for my children, but then the strike could just end at any

time, so why risk pouring time, energy and money into an alternative method of care and learning for my children, not knowing when this strike would end?

“Even if they would strike for a set period of time, I could plan for I would be much better off. “ Jim Anderson, executive director of Venture Kamloops, isn’t surprised by tales of economic woe.

With 1,800 Kamloops-Thompson school district employees and an annual payroll in excess of $100 million — more than half of which is teachers’ salaries — Anderson said a work stoppage like the teachers’ strike

has significant direct and indirect effects on the local economy.

Anderson said that impact is different from the closure of a major employer because a shutdown brings with it some form of employment compensation, be it severance packages or employment-insurance benefits.

“However, a work stoppage due to a labour dispute, although not a permanent stoppage, comes with a great deal of suddenness and uncertainty, which immediately serves to remove those involved from their usual economic activity,” Anderson said.

Sentencing decision handed down today CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

An agitated offender facing a sentence in B.C. Supreme Court that could see him in jail for life had to be sedated yesterday (Sept. 11) for what was scheduled to be a decision after a lengthy hearing.

The sentencing decision for Shane Jeurissen was stood down in the morning for about 30 minutes so he could be sedated

SHANE JEURISSEN SUBJECT OF DANGEROUSOFFENDER DEBATE by sheriffs before appearing in court.

Jeurissen was not in the courtroom during much of the sentence hearing that began last year, nor was he able to watch on video from Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre [KRCC], due to his frequent outbursts.

Yesterday, when B.C. Supreme Court Justice Kathleen Ker urged Jeurissen to “hang in there” wait-

ing for her decision, he interjected: “Let’s stick you in jail for life — see how you hang in there.”

Jeurissen, 43, pleaded guilty last year to assault with a weapon and breaching court conditions after he entered his girlfriend’s home in Barriere and punched her in the eye as she was on the phone.

RCMP said he then held a knife to her

throat.

Prior to that offence, Jeurissen pleaded guilty to assault for punching a different woman, causing injury to her face.

While Jeurrisen has been labelled a prolific offender for the sheer number of offences he has committed, it is only the two assaults the Crown says prove a pattern that he is a danger to the public

*

who can’t be managed outside a prison.

Other offences include threats to guards at KRCC and prosecution officials.

The hearing originally set for decision yesterday is complicated by the fact Jeurissen’s lawyer, Ray Dieno, removed himself as counsel following all evidence and argument.

“He [Dieno)]physically challenged me to a fight in the booth [at KRCC],” Jeurissen told Ker. Jeurissen said he was not sent a transcript of the hearing,

so he doesn’t know what was entered or argued.

Ker accepted several folders of material from him, promising she would read them and give her verdict today.

Minutes beforehand, Jeurissen he alleged Ker is racist, saying “Do I know what? I know I’m brown, so you’ll do whatever you want to do.”

Jeurissen has First Nations heritage.

Ker has three options for sentence: Labelling Jeurissen as a dangerous offender

and jailing him for an indefinite term; giving him a jail sentence of at least two years followed by a long-term supervision order in the community; or giving him a standard jail term with no special designation.

The Crown has argued Jeurissen is not suitable for a supervision order in the community because of his long record of breaching court-ordered conditions.

Experts say he has an anti-social disorder and is defiant to authority.

LOCAL NEWS A little over a decade ago, beef prices were below a dollar a pound. A year ago, they had climbed to $1.50 per pound. Today, a pound of beef has climbed to between $2.30 and $2.40 a pound and consumers are seeing the results on price tags at the supermarket.

FOR RANCHERS, THE PRICE IS RIGHT

Auctioneer Wayne Jordan thought it couldn’t go any higher.

A little over a decade ago, cattle prices plunged to a low of 85 to 95 cents a pound when bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, more commonly known as mad-cow disease) was discovered in Canada.

Prices remained there for years, suppressed by a combination of a high Canadian dollar, waning demand and a ban on exports to many countries, including Canada’s best trading partner south of the border.

“A year ago, to show you how high it is, that 600-pound steer was $1.50-ish [a pound,” Jordan said.

That set a record.

Since last year, prices per pound have steadily climbed again, now reaching $2.30 to $2.40 a pound in the auction ring — a 50 per cent increase in a year.

“People will look at it and say producers are printing money,” said Jordan, who has called out the highs and lows over those years at the B.C. Livestock Producers Co-operative auction ring in East Kamloops.

“But, we went through seven or eight years raising beef at below cost.”

Kevin Boon, general manager of B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, said stampeding prices began last fall.

“And it’s just continued,” he said.

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Some of the answers for the high prices — which customers are seeing on store shelves — are simple to understand.

Beef cattle is a commodity ruled by the simple fact of supply and demand.

Years of poor prices prompted ranchers to give up or reduce numbers.

In the latest report available, B.C.’s beef-cattle herd has shrunk to about 200,000 breeding cows. That’s down from a peak of 320,000 in 2005.

“We’ve lost one-third,” Boon said.

There is also increased demand from Asia — China in particular.

In those lean years, Canada’s exporting agencies and ranchers increased focus on foreign markets, which produced results.

Add to that the decline of the Canadian dollar to nearly the 90-cent level, making exports cheaper, and there’s a recipe for improved profits for ranchers.

There is another factor in beef pricing that is less easy to understand.

But, it’s a simple rule, Jordan said: “The farmer and the

rancher both can’t win.”

Some of the profit sandwiched between the range and the supermarket cashier goes either to farmers — who win on high prices for grain, which is fed to cattle before slaughter — or to ranchers.

The end price at the counter is sensitive.

If it rises too high, consumers look elsewhere.

There is a glut of grains on the North American market, driving down prices and making cattle feed cheaper. That cheaper input cost allows more money to go to ranchers.

Ranchers who want to expand herds will hold back heifers for use as breeding cattle, which will further reduce supply in the short term.

The amount of cattle going to market in Kamloops will seasonally peak next month, when ranchers will have profits sloshing around in their jean pockets.

Doug Houghton, a rancher who sells farm equipment at PrairieCoast Equipment in Kamloops, believes ranchers will start to replace equipment that’s been nursed along through the lean years —

something that should benefit the regional economy.

“In all the years I’ve been on the earth, it’s the fastest change I’ve seen,” he said.

Which is all well and good if your backyard happens to be thousands of acres.

But, what’s it mean for consumers?

While prices at the counter resisted higher input costs in the background, retailers finally relented and have begun to pass them on.

Brody White, who took over butcher Chop ‘N Block in Aberdeen this spring, said prices for prime cuts have climbed 20 per cent since then.

“Definitely there’s higher prices,” White said.

“I think a lot of people are staying away from beef. They’re moving to pork or chicken.”

White has another, simpler answer — eat less.

“Cheaper cuts is one option.

[But] I find people are a bit gluttonous with their meat. You don’t need a two-pound steak for one person.”

The news is all positive for family-based ranchers, a model that dominates the B.C. industry.

Despite the good times, however, Haughton said decade-long depressed prices deterred the next generation of ranchers.

“A generation of children have gone on to do something else . . . They’re not coming back,” he said.

STILL RUNNING FOR TERRY FOX

I

f you don’t know the story, you’re likely not Canadian.

But, it is an incredible legacy.

It is highly unlikely that when Terry Fox first dipped his artificial leg into the Atlantic Ocean on April 12, 1980, to start his Marathon of Hope, he had any idea of the lasting effect he would have.

An entire country followed his lead, after his run was cut short, just outside of Thunder Bay, Ont., five months later. Spurred by Isadore Sharp of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, an annual fundraising run was organized in his name.

“You started it. We will not rest until your dream to find a cure for cancer is realized,” said Sharp in a telegram to the Fox family.

And so it began.

Now, 34 years later, dozens of countries participate in the annual Terry Fox Run. The Kamloops Terry Fox Run takes place in Riverside Park on Sunday, with registration at 9 a.m.

The Terry Fox Foundation has grown to in excess of $650 million, to support cancer research in Terry’s name.

To most, the thought of that much money not already producing a cure is unfathomable. The problem is the disease itself. It is the most baffling disease known because of its inconsistencies. It can run in the family, but it’s not genetic.

It can be caused by smoking, but smoking does not invariably lead to lung cancer.

It can be deadly, but it can also be benign.

Before a definitive cure for cancer can be achieved, a link between all cancers must be discovered. We are not there yet.

Terry’s initial letter to the Canadian Cancer Society, asking for support of his Marathon of Hope, included the line “I’m not a dreamer, and I’m not saying this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles.”

Do you?

The end of factory education

T

he B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s latest demand, for binding arbitration on selected pocketbook issues of its members, is going nowhere.

This follows months of the union’s insistence on mediation.

First, a B.C. Supreme Court judge met with both sides and walked away. Then, the BCTF’s preferred choice, Vince Ready, agreed that mediation won’t fix the current version of the mess he last examined in 2007.

BCTF president Jim Iker announced the arbitration gambit on Friday, Sept. 5, and teachers voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday, Sept. 10, to go to arbitration.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender replied that, lacking specifics on what would be subject to arbitration, the proposal would forfeit the government’s mandate to control costs.

“This government will not raise taxes in order to provide a settlement to one union that does not reflect what the other public sector has done,” Fassbender said.

In short, there will be a negotiated settlement, eventually.

The union chose to begin the strike and now must find a way to end it.

The government’s position in this dispute is unlike any of the many that preceded it — and it points the way to an evolution of education that cannot be stopped.

The announcement of a $40-a-day payment for days lost

TOM FLETCHER

Our Main In

VICTORIA during a fall strike for children under 13 was greeted with scorn by the BCTF and its echo chambers. Parents won’t be bribed; they want school, not day care; it’s an insult, went the refrain.

Before the first week of the fall strike was over, nearly twothirds of eligible parents had enrolled, faced with pickets at their schools and real and mounting child-care and tutoring costs. The union executive said members who are parents should refuse the money.

Some B.C. teachers have begun advertising tutoring services online. With distance learning and other online education options expanding in all 60 public-school districts, the digital revolution is unfolding quickly.

The B.C. government made a couple of announcements in April, one about moving to digital versions of textbooks and another about a digital merger of 1,600 school libraries with public and post-secondary schools.

Growth of options accelerates.

Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial labour strife, the B.C. public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age.

Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.”

One of B.C.’s early models for self-directed learning is Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time.

It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring.

Self-directed study has become a crash course.

Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular courses they will need by next year.

In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule.

“Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said.

In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR VERY IMPRESSED WITH KTW’S COVERAGE Editor: I will admit I was disappointed when we lost the Kamloops Daily News.

I had been a subscriber for many years and I really missed the daily New York Times crossword puzzles.

Thank you for including the large New York Times puzzle in your Friday editions.

I read the Thursday, Sept. 11, edition of Kamloops This Week from first to last page and I was very impressed with world news coverage, especially the articles on the anniversary of the Sept.11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

You have an excellent writing staff, from world news to local news to local sports.

Congratulations for a job well done.

I won’t miss picking up each of the three free Kamloops This Week newspapers each week.

TEACHERS’ STRIKE AFFECTS ALL OF US Editor: Remember Robert Fulgham’s book All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten — which taught cooperation before confrontation?

Obviously, since mediator Vince Ready walked off the job, neither side in the education labour dispute learned that one.

Students are affected most by what they can do nothing about.

Year-end was compromised by missing the synthesized package that steps them into the next grade with confidence. Now their exciting Day 1 is down the drain.

This strike is not foremost about salary.

Yes, teachers deserve a raise, on par with other professionals, but their real reason for job action is class size and composition.

I read that the premier has her child in a private school, so she is not personally affected.

A mom on welfare does not have that option.

When special classes were phased out so all children would be treated “equally,� there were no instructions on how this was to be accomplished.

Teachers often have from three to seven special-needs children, in addition to challenged learners among the other kids.

These are children that are attention-deficit and behaviorally and socially disturbed and who have medical syndromes and are hungry, hurtful and tired.

For each, they must attend individual educational plan meetings with social workers, educational consultants, psychologists, nurses,

administrators and parents, then work out a program that works in a classroom of sometimes more than 30 students.

One case reported an aide allotment of 15 minutes a day.

Let’s get real.

It takes that long to get that kid to sit down and get his work materials ready.

In contrast as a special-needs instructor for 15 years, my classes were about eight to 10 multi-disabled criteria, with a full-time aide in an enclosed room that protected them from noise and disturbance.

Curriculum mandates of about four grade levels were met, along with social needs.

Yes, there were traumatic situations to handle — at least hourly.

However, we did know the word “integration,� even then.

At the first sign of readiness, kids went into a regular class with a cooperating teacher for one subject to start.

But, here is the difference: In one split second, that teacher could say, “Back to Alice’s room – that doesn’t go on here!�

But, that was then and this is now.

Let’s imagine a couple of traumas at the same time in a regular classroom, and often with no aide.

What is the new model?

If, in your mind, you see a calm math class, think again.

Schools are needing to take drastic measures to meet budget constraints.

Who is better equipped to help with new technology than the teacher librarian?

Alas, to save funds, many districts are cutting these positions.

Innovative schools have a learning-commons room.

Apart from curriculum, what about those extras — sports, music, concerts, neighbourhhood litter campaigns, fundraisers for underdeveloped countries, things that benefit all society?

B.C. policy is that when a child cannot be handled in private school, they are sent back to public school, which must take them into a regular class the next day to an unsuspecting teacher.

There is no time to prepare or to get background.

Teachers are just expected to do it and make the child fit in.

I’d say this new student needs to arrive with a trained aide and a prepared program.

Negotiators must develop a broader vision and provide resources for teachers to work effectively.

I’d say that takes co-operation, not confrontation.

The $40 a day child-care payment is an insult and an abuse of funds.

School-aged children need an education, not a babysitter.

$3M TAB STANDS AFTER MASSIVE JULY STORM ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city of Kamloops is hoping it can begin repairs on trails and storm water systems damaged during July’s brief, but intense, storm

sometime in September.

City utilities manager Mike Firlotte said engineering contractors are still surveying the damage of the July 23 storm, which flooded basements and streets in parts of the city.

Following the storm, public-works staff put the damage to city infrastructure around $3 million, which Firlotte said still appears to be a “realistic” assessment.

The city has applied to the province for

financial aid for the repairs.

In order to receive the up to 80 per cent funding available through B.C.’s disaster financial-aid program, the city must submit detailed reports on all its

planned repairs.

“Our consultants are still out there doing the damage assessments,” Firlotte said.

“And, once all those numbers are in, and that’s what we’re waiting for right now, then

PUBLIC NOTICE As per Section 224 (2) (b) of the Community Charter Council may, by bylaw, exempt land and/or improvements from taxation under Section 197 (1) (a) that is owned or held by a municipality, regional district or other local authority.

we’ll put our claim into the province for getting those items repaired.”

The city is hoping to make its submission to the province in the next couple of weeks, so repairs can begin this fall, using money in the 2014 public-works budget.

Firlotte said because of the extent of the damage, repairs won’t be finished this fall.

“It’s going to take a couple years to do some bigger fixes on some of this,” Firlotte said.

“We want to fix things properly.”

Andrew Miller running for city council seat on anti-Ajax, low spending platform ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The latest entrant in the race for Kamloops City Hall is urging members of the public to pack council with members opposed to what he calls “the worst thing that may happen to Kamloops.”

Andrew Miller, an employee at the provincial Ministry of Social Development and Social innovation, is seeking a council seat in the Nov. 15 election — and he’s putting his opposition to the Ajax copper and gold mine front and centre in his platform.

“If people in Kamloops feel the Ajax mine is something they do not want, they’re going to have to vote in a strong, vocal council,” Andrew Miller told KTW. “We all know that the mine is generally going to be decided on by federal and provincial governments. But, if we have a strong, vocal council against

Andrew Miller is the 12th person to throw his or her hat into the civic-election ring seeking a council seat in this November’s election.

Also running for council seats are sitting councillors Marg Spina, Tina Lange, Donovan Cavers, Arjun Singh, Ken Christian, Pat Wallace and Nelly Dever, as well as newcomers Bob Dieno, Peter Kerek, Dieter Dudy and Annette Glover.

Miller is the fifth candidate on the ticket who has come out against Ajax, along with incumbent councillors Tina Lange and Donovan Cavers, current school-board trustee Annette Glover, and Peter Kerek.

Miller said he’s against the mine because he’s concerned about its potential health impacts on residents, and also the damage it will do to Kamloops’ reputation

“If that’s something to look forward to, I don’t want to live here and I know a lot of other people feel the same way,” he said.

The majority of the city’s current council has declined to take a position on the mine before Ajax proponent KGHM submits an application for environmental review to the B.C. government, which is expected in 2015.

“I disagree with wait and see,” Miller said. “I think it’s a big enough issue that the residents need to know there’s people who are willing to stand up.”

Beyond the mine, Miller said he wants to see the city rein in spending, so tax increases don’t outpace changes to citizen’s wages, and criticized council’s decision to increase wages for councillors by about $10,000 over the course of the next term.

New KXA taking shape at Tournament Capital ranch ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

thrive At KCS…

we are passionate about equipping kids to thrive academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.

A month ago, the Kamloops Exhibition Association’s (KXA) new arena at the Tournament Capital Ranch was nothing more than bare dirt.

Then, the volunteers descended.

“There was nothing there and now we’ve got a professional arena there,” said KXA vice-president Fred Payne.

“It’s a big turnaround and enthusiasm like I’ve never seen before for a new facility.”

Built entirely with volunteer labour, equipment and dollars, the new arena is the KXA’s first step in a plan to bring rodeo back to Kamloops — but bigger and better than before.

The association has permission from the city and the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) to run a series of five events at the site this fall.

Last weekend, the Kamloops and District High School Rodeo kicked off the B.C. High School Rodeo circuit. Also in the works are barrel-racing and ranchrodeo events.

“It’s going over very well,” Payne said. “Everyone’s very enthused and wants to get working on a permanent home.”

From the city’s perspective, the temporary permit is a chance to test-drive long-term

Site replaces old grounds on TIB land plans for the ranch, which city staff are hoping to develop into a destination site with a privately developed water park and a new KXA exhibition centre.

The KXA hasn’t had a stable home for events since 2011 and had struggled with space and financial issues in its former site on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve for years beforehand.

City parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said the city sees a revived exhibition centre as a way to support the Kamloops’ ranching community.

“Most of the events now are in outlying areas such as North Thompson and Williams Lake, Flakland,” he said.

“Since the KXA dissolved in the former location, there really hasn’t been much going on so this is a exciting news from our perspective.”

A full proposal for the ranchlands is headed to Kamloops city council for debate late this fall, with hopes the ALC will sign off on the plan in early 2015.

If approval is granted, Payne said the association hopes to begin work on a permanent home next summer.

KXA president Gary Gray said

the new facility would include a 100,000-square-foot enclosure, and a second arena area.

Enthusiasm for the centre appears to be high. Gray said the group has already received more than $2 million in donations and goods in kind. The full price tag is likely over $10 million.

“I think people never realized what we had in Kamloops until they lost it,” said Payne.

“And now they’re coming back and saying, this should be in Kamloops.

Payne said groups are already approaching the KXA about hosting national events in Kamloops and plans are also in the works to bid for provincial and national youth rodeo finals.

Fritz Maier, the national director for the B.C. High School Rodeo Association, said he believes the Tournament Capital Ranch could become a major location for ranching events because of its ranching background and its easy access.

“They should host a first class rodeo here,” he said. “The hub of the western business should be Kamloops.”

Welcome to the second annual Kamloops Mud Drags at Whispering Pines Raceway.

The event will get underway on Saturday, Sept. 13, at 2 p.m., and will go again on Sunday, Sept. 14, at noon. Racing will run for about four hours both days.

Racers will be in town from all over Western Canada for the Kamloops races, the last stop on the 2014 North West Mud Racing Association circuit.

About 64 racers will invade Whispering Pines, four of whom — Ed Larson, Cody Penner, Russ Matthews and Jackson Wallbank — hail from Kamloops.

“This is our last points race so, this is like, pardon the wording, a balls to the wall kind of thing,” event organizer Amanda Burt told KTW.

HardiePlank & Vinyl Siding

The Tournament Capital has more room to peddle itself as a mountainbiking destination this week as the city has become home to about 30 kilometres of new trails.

A multi-party agreement involving the Kamloops Performance Cycling Centre (KPCC), KGHM International and Sugarloaf Ranch, Kinder Morgan Canada, Pembina Pipeline Corporation and the provincial government is responsible for the new mountain-biking trail system, that inhabits the lands south of Pineview Valley.

Riders can enter the system at the end of Hugh Allan Drive, in Pineview Valley.

The project has been in the works for about eight months and is now nearing an end. The majority of the trails are marked and mapped and signage educating riders on respect for ranching and preventing the spread of noxious weeds, like nap weed, will go up in the next 30 to 45 days.

Tourism Kamloops will also be producing a map that can be distributed to visitors.

The $25,000 project is made up of primarily blue and black skill-level terrain, Heyman said, due, in part, to the steep climb at the beginning of the trail system.

A parking lot will be added to the end of Hugh Allan Drive by Pembina Pipeline Corporation, to keep riders from parking on the street.

The trails extend as far as Iron Mask Road and the weigh scales along the Trans Canada Highway.

They will also cover the Sugarloaf Ranch lands, owned by KGHM International.

Prior to the opening of the new trails earlier this week, Kenna Cartwright Park was the only area regionally with marked-and-mapped cross-country biking trails. “It’s not the way it should be,� said Brad Heyman, director of the KPCC. Heyman headed up the pilot project to officially open the lands to bikers.

Though the area has been traditionally used by riders, Heyman said it was important for the city to have markedand-mapped trails.

Community Health Notes Discussions about death or dying are never easy, but they are essential when people want a say in where they spend their final days.

Many people think end of life must occur in a hospital or other facility, but many people are opting to die at Cathy Thibault home. They are well cared for through Health Services Administrator community health services with the Interior Health help of services that provide proper care, medical equipment, and pain management.

Specially trained Home Health nurses and the B.C. Palliative Care Benefits Program support B.C. residents of any age who have reached the end stage of a life-threatening disease or illness and are wishing to receive palliative care at home.

A physician assesses a person’s medical eligibility for the program and submits an application on their behalf. Under the program, eligible patients receive: • Coverage of medications used in palliative care through the PharmaCare, BC Palliative Care Drug Plan • Medical supplies and equipment through the local health authority Benefits continue as long as a person is considered in need of palliative care.

The Pack are back . . . and it’s up to TRU’s soccer squads to prove they belong in CIS Emily Edmundson of the TRU WolfPack women’s soccer team stretched to make this save in 2013 Pacific Western Athletic Association play. Both the men’s and women’s WolfPack squads are making the jump this season to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport ranks.

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

There’s a mixture of excitement and nerves hanging over Hillside Stadium this week as Thompson Rivers University prepares to open a new athletics season.

The same question is on all minds — how will WolfPack soccer fare in the ranks of Canadian Interuniversity Sport?

“I think we’ll be one of those teams that might surprise a few people, might not,” men’s coach John Antulov said.

“We’re just really not sure.

We’ll see when the season starts, once the guys get going.”

Antulov admitted his men had an up and down preseason — they recorded three draws and two losses — but noted the coaching staff had put emphasis on giving the team’s youth a good look.

When the regular season begins this weekend and the starting roster takes to the pitch, Antulov said he likes his team’s chances.

“I know one thing — we’ll be competitive,” he said.

The men get underway today (Sept. 12) at 7 p.m., while the women kick off at 5 p.m.

Both matches will be held at Hillside Stadium against the Trinity Western University Spartans.

The mood is similar on the

women’s side of the game.

Head coach Tom McManus and his team, which won three straight league championships to close out its tenure in the Pacific Western Athletic Association, are excited to start the regular season.

McManus and Co. went undefeated in four exhibition matches.

“We’re very excited,” he said.

“We’re looking forward to it.

We want to get the real thing going.”

With Trinity Western in town to open the season, the women will have the opportunity to see what they’re made of — the Spartans have won four of the last six national championships on the women’s side of the game.

It’s a challenge that’s not lost on McManus or his squad, who are looking to make a statement in their league debut.

“Any team is beatable. You just have to go out and work hard and pick apart their weaknesses,” said goalkeeper Emily Edmundson, who is entering her fifth and final season.

“That’s, I guess, what it will come down to, is us just battling right to the end and taking it to them.”

The men might have more of an opportunity to ease into the CIS — the Spartans they will be facing went 4-6-3 last season and missed the playoffs.

For the most part, the Pack

are trying to enter the season without expectations, positive or negative.

“I think we need to just go out and play and see what happens, really,” said Corey Wallis, one of the team’s captains and a holdover from the 2013 club that won silver at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association’s national championship.

“It’s open-ended, for me at this point.”

It’s open-ended for both clubs now, but soon enough both will know where they stand.

Notes:

• New to both clubs this season will be the addition of nighttime matches at Hillside Stadium.

Previously, matches were played on Saturdays and Sundays in the early afternoon but, as a member of the CIS, TRU will now play most of its games in the evenings, on Fridays and Saturdays.

• Neither the men nor women got a lot of love in the Canada West Athletic Association’s preseason coaches’ polls — in part due to being the new kids on the block.

The men are ranked last in the league based on a poll given to the association’s coaches, while the women are slotted in 12th of 16 teams.

hen baseball historians compare pitchers from the Los Angeles Dodgers franchise, the conversation starts and finishes with the great lefthander, Sandy Koufax.

But Clayton Kershaw is making a bid to . . . well, not exactly eclipse the great Koufax among Dodger mound legends, but at least take a position on the pedestal beside him.

Kershaw, a lefty, too, with a funky, herky-jerky delivery, is having an incredible season, one of the best in recent memory.

As for Cy Young award voting, Major League Baseball can dispense with the bothersome process and just give Kershaw the award.

His statistics are mind-boggling.

At last glance, a 17-3 win-loss record.

An earned-run average of 1.70, the majors’ best.

Batters have compiled an on-base percentage against him of .225, the majors’ best.

Batting average?

Less than .200.

Left-handed hitters have almost no chance: A .174 batting average against Kershaw.

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while, right?

BRUCE PENTON At one point this season, Kershaw had a 41-inning shutout streak. That’s almost five full games!

Kershaw got battered around once this year — in May against Arizona, when the sad-sack Diamondbacks crushed him for six hits and seven runs in less than two innings.

In each of his only other losses, he was touched for three earned runs, striking out 20 in the two games and walking one.

And those were losses.

He is as close to an automatic win when he steps on the mound as Koufax was during his glory days in the 1960s (25-5 in 1963; 26-8 in 1965; 27-9 in 1966).

Want more numbers to illustrate Kershaw’s importance to the Dodgers?

When he pitches, the Dodgers are 19-4. In other games, they’re a .500 team.

Authorities might pursue charges in NASCAR death CAROLYN THOMPSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart will find out no later than next week whether authorities will pursue charges in the death of a driver he struck during a sprintcar race in upstate New York last month.

Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said his office has completed its investigation and submitted it to the district attorney’s office for review. He did not release the findings.

“The district attorney’s office, which has been meeting throughout the investigative process with members of the sheriff’s office, will make

a statement late next week advising what action will be taken regarding the investigation,’’ the statement said.

Stewart’s car struck and killed 20-year-old Kevin Ward Jr. at Canandaigua Motorsports Park during a nighttime race Aug. 9.

Ward had climbed out of his car and walked onto the dirt track to confront Stewart after he spun out while the two raced side by side.

Povero said early on that his initial findings turned up nothing that would indicate criminal intent in the crash, but legal experts have said that does not mean Stewart is in the clear.

Stewart could be charged with second-degree manslaughter under New York law.

DAYTIME THEFT

BLIND MECHANIC HAS MUD SHARK SMELLING BLOOD ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Craig Penner can tell what’s wrong with Mud Shark just by listening to it.

It’s a skill he has had to hone since losing his sight in an ATV accident in 2003.

“The old story, ‘You’ve done it so many times, you can do it with your eyes closed,’ you can do it,” Penner said.

“I know you can because I do it every day.”

Sighted or not, being a mechanic hasn’t changed any, Penner said.

He helped build Mud Shark — the vehicle his son, Cody, will be driving in the Kamloops Mud Drags this weekend (see page A15) — 23 years ago.

Luckily, everything on the dirt-churning machine is still where he remembers it being.

“Nothing has changed,” the crew chief said.

“All that stuff is still in the same spots as it always was and the

mechanics on a motor hasn’t changed.

“I can hear it better.

I pay attention more on the hearing end of it now.”

He and Cody are now in their fourth year on the North West Mud Racing Association circuit.

Penner’s accident was a freak one. He was driving his ATV up a mound of dirt in his front yard, something he had done countless times before, when the quad rolled over backwards.

He doesn’t remember the accident. The last memory he has is driving up to the mound but, from what he has been told, the quad landed on top of him, the handlebars hitting him in the face.

He wasn’t wearing a helmet.

“I’m living proof that it only takes a second,” said Penner, who now advocates helmet use.

It took about three months before he “crawled out of the fridge full of beer,” Penner said.

He realized he still

had things to do and he wasn’t going to let his accident slow him down.

It certainly hasn’t slowed his son down.

With his dad at the helm of his pit crew, Mud Shark is only getting faster.

On Wednesday, Sept. 10, Penner put a Dominator Holley carburetor onto the vehicle’s 440 Dodge.

He does all the work on the vehicle using touch and mental mapping — he can tell the size of wrench he needs just by feeling the nuts and bolts.

“This weekend here, we’re going to show them what we can do because we’ve got this big carburetor on here now,” Penner said with a laugh.

“It’s the last show of the year, so everyone is going to be dialled and tuned right to the max.”

It should be a big weekend for Cody, thanks, at least in part, to the fact his dad didn’t give up being a mechanic when he lost his sight more than a decade ago.

A brazen morning theft occurred during the morning commute at the Alpine Motel on Hugh Allan Dr. The owners had seen the quad described, as a 2014 Polaris Scrambler 1000, at 7:45 am still in the back of their truck which had been parked in the Motel parking lot. The owners of the Quad were packing up from their stay in the hotel, when they returned at 8:15 am the Quad was gone. It appears a suspect

pickup truck back up to the victim`s truck and pushed the Quad onto the suspects truck and then drove off, the direction of travel is unknown. This is very busy street especially during the morning hours, there is a lot of stop and go traffic on Hugh Allan and someone may have noticed the suspects loading the Quad into a pickup truck.

These thieves are looking for Quad, ATVs

and Side by Side vehicles to take, there is a large market for these types of vehicles.

Your ATV vehicle must be secured in pickup or even better be removed until they are being use.

If anyone saw these suspects, please contact Crime Stoppers you will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of the suspects.

THEFT FROM A CONSTRUCTION SITE Suspects interrupted work on a new construction site for the expansion Royal Inland Hospital on Columbia St., the thieves had entered the fenced compound of the site. Sometime overnight on Thursday September 4th, suspects once inside the compound went directly to the work portable offices and broke into both units. The

suspects did get away with an HP laptop computer and two Kenwood portable radios. Now this is a very public site and there is always vehicle and or pedestrian traffic on Columbia St. day or night, someone may have seen the suspects in the construction site. The construction crew has done a very good job securing other work

tools and machinery on the property to prevent further thefts.

If you saw any suspicious activity in or around the construction site, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will remain anonymous and only your information will be used never your name.

OLIVE DOVE

BRIAN LEE MEREDITH

July 22, 1923 – September 8, 2014

Born: November 22, 1950 in Berwyn, AB Deceased: August 27, 2014 in Kamloops, BC Age 63

March 8, 1921 July 6, 2014

Born in Regina, Saskatchewan and passed away peacefully in Kamloops at the age of 93.

Jerry lived a full and long life which he often recounted in the many stories which he loved to tell, including proudly recalling his wartime service with the RCAF in Alaska.

He is now reunited with the love of his life, our mother Jeanne and his many siblings.

He will be sadly missed by his six children, fourteen grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren who meant the world to him.

A private family function will be held.

Brian is survived by his loving wife Joanne of 29 years and children Len (Louise), Shawn, Christina (Nate), Daniel (Shannon), and grandchildren Savanna and Cloie. Brian is also survived by his brother Doug (Betty), and his mom Grace. He is pre-deceased by his father Leonard.

We would like to thank Royal Inland Hospital 6N nurses for their kind and compassionate care. We want to send a special thanks to his nurse Brenda at 6N for the exceptional care she provided. We were privileged to be under the care of Dr. Montgomery of 6N and would like to send a big thanks for his guidance and support through this difficult time. We would also like to thank the friends and family for attending the service at the Schoenings Funeral Home. Your love and support was much appreciated.

We are saddened to see the passing of our father with such a short battle with cancer. Dad was a family man and loved his children dearly. He loved to travel with his wife Joanne to the US for the warmer months. He retired in 2013. Dad loved to hunt, and camp with his family as much as he could.

He is well known for his jokes, sarcasm, and his long detailed stories, some of which were on repeat.

Dad’s sense of humour will be sadly missed.

HILDA KENDALL (Nee Bepple) On September 9, 2014 Hilda passed away after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. Mom was born in Alexanderfeld, Romania to George and Katharina Bepple on April 16, 1925. She immigrated with her family to Canada when she was three. In 1949 she married her first husband Larry and together they had eight children. Together with him they opened the Brown Owl Bakery and the Sharon Café.

Mom worked throughout the years at different restaurants around town. She attended Cariboo College and received her certificate from the Culinary Arts program. She then worked for the Overlander Care Home until her retirement. Mom’s cooking and baking were well known throughout her career and her children benefitted from the wonderful meals she provided, some ending with one of her pies, which we all loved.

Whenever we arrived home for a visit, there was always a pot of soup on the stove awaiting our arrival, with cakes or cookies and tea and coffee.

The arrival of grandchildren brought her much joy as she loved them all and spent as much time as she could with each of them. Sadly for the younger ones, Alzheimer’s had already robbed her of her sharp wit and winning smile.

Mom loved the outdoors and puttering in her garden. She spent many hours nursing her vegetable garden and planting flowers throughout her yard. We spent many weekends at Shuswap Lake which provided her with a much needed break from work. Mom loved to read and you could always find her with a book in her hand.

Mom attended church all her life and she loved to sing. When she was in Ponderosa, she loved the music hour and could still remember all the words to the songs.

We will miss her deeply. She cared for us with a steady and solid hand through a somewhat tumultuous life, never wavering in her strength. It was her strength of character that brought her through those rough waters and landed her safely ashore to live a quieter life. We are forever grateful for this and love her deeply for caring for us first and foremost.

Sadly, she spent far too long in care being placed in Ponderosa in 2001, followed by Kamloops Senior’s Village.

Mom is predeceased by her parents George and Katharina Bepple, an infant daughter Wanda Dean and her son Gordy Dean. She is predeceased by her first husband Larry Dean and her second husband Red Kendall. She is also predeceased by her brothers Ronald, Chris, Otto, and Oscar; her sisters Frieda Shelton and Alma Harding.

She is survived by her children Walter Dean, Cliff Dean, and his children; Carly (Todd) Sherwood and their son Harry; Candace (Kris) Waters and their sons Tolson and Jackson; Gordy Dean and his daughter Angela (Grant) Wood, their daughters Rachel and Emma; Kelli Dean, and her children Hailey, Hanna and Ryne; Kathy Dean, Trish Berry, Don Dean, Susan Henderson and her children Quinn and Zak, as well as many other nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank the nurses and care aids who looked after Mom through the years at Ponderosa and Kamloops Senior’s Village.

A Memorial Service for Hilda will take place in the Kamloops Funeral Home on September 18, 2014 at 2:00pm Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Olive passed away peacefully on Monday, September 8, 2014 at Berwick on the Park, Kamloops, BC. Olive was predeceased by Orvel her beloved husband of 68 years.

Olive will be sadly missed by sons Robert (Janet), Keith and daughters Linda, Elizabeth (Rene), grandchildren David, Kelly (Greg), Alex (Samantha), Nick, Mark, and Brad and great-grandchildren Sarah, Megan and Oliver.

Olive was born in Newcastle-On-Tyne, England. She leaves behind in England her two sisters Claire and Betty, their spouses and many nieces and nephews.

Olive served with the W.A.F. of the R.A.F. in World War II and met Orvel in England where he was serving with the R.C.A.F. Olive demonstrated her strong independent spirit when she left her family in England to start a new life in Canada with Orvel. She arrived at Pier 1 in Halifax, Nova Scotia on a ship full of fellow war brides, many of whom would remain close friends for the rest of their lives. One of Olive’s favorite comments when talking about that time of her life was that they really didn’t know what lay ahead or what Canada in the 1940’s was really like. But she embraced this new life with Orvel and proudly called Canada her home.

Olive was a kind and loving mother to her four children and especially enjoyed the many summers at the Shuswap with her grandchildren. She proudly and lovingly welcomed the arrival of her three great-grandchildren.

Although Olive struggled with her eyesight in her later years she remained young at heart until the end. She never lost her dry wit. Family and friends enjoyed being around Olive and no one ever left her home hungry.

Your family will miss you.

We know we were blessed to have you for so many years.

We love you.

Cremation has taken place. A small family ceremony will take place when the family has gathered. We ask those who knew and loved Olive to remember her in their own way.

MARY MADELINE LARKIN Mary Madeline Larkin, nee Vigna, passed away on May 20, 2014 at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock, BC at the age of 95.

There will be a mass in Mary’s honour at Sacred Heart Cathedral at 11:00am on Saturday, September 20th, followed by a Celebration of Mary’s Life at 1:00pm downstairs at the Colombo Hall

Should friends desire, Olive would be pleased for donations in her name to the church or charity of their choice.

DANA MARIE RANGER Dana Marie Ranger passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 9th, 2014.

She wrote poetry and loved to draw when inspiration struck. Above all else, Dana was dedicated to her family and her daughter, especially.

Dana is survived by her daughter Mikayla, husband Brad, brother Dayle (Kayla and Cooper), sister Courtney, father Rick Ranger, mother Sandra Cossitt, step-mother Pam Ranger, her grandparents and numerous members of her close and extended family.

Dana will be remembered most for her selflessness, bravery, compassion and tireless sense of humour.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00pm on Monday, September 15th, at Kamloops Funeral Home. The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Dana’s name to the Kamloops Hospice Association or to the BC Cancer Foundation Together we will soar for you are my sunshine.

Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

She Walks in Beauty She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven trees, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on the cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, so eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow; But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind of peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

EI down for small businesses LINDA NGUYEN

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ottawa announced yesterday (Sept. 11) it will cut employmentinsurance premiums for small businesses for the next two years, a move it billed will save employers more than $550 million.

The Small Business Job Credit will reduce EI premiums to $1.60 for every $100 earned in 2015 and 2016, down from the current rate of $1.88, said Finance Minister Joe Oliver.

The credit is expected to reduce EI payroll taxes by nearly 15 per cent and assist small business in hiring more employees or raising wages, said Oliver.

The tax credit will not have any effect on

EI premiums paid by workers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe this will be very helpful on a macro basis,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Oliver said during the announcement in west Toronto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe it will encourage growth and employment opportunities.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He said the move was necessary to ensure the Canadian economy continues to grow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live in difficult economic times and we cannot be complacent,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Oliver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must take action to empower Canadian entrepreneurs. Small business owners should be spending time growing their business and creating jobs, they should not be choking on red

tape and high taxes.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Canada Revenue Agency will be responsible for administering the changes to companies that qualify, removing the need for extra paperwork.

To be eligible, a business must pay equal to or less than $15,000 in employment insurance premiums next year and in 2016.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated about 780,000 firms in Canada will qualify.

The minister dismissed the suggestion it was a sign the federal government is worried about sluggish job growth.

However, there are signs the Canadian job market is not faring as well as anticipated.

Last week, Statistics Canada reported the economy shed 11,000

jobs in August, most of them part-time positions.

The figure was far below economist expectations for the creation of 10,000 jobs last month.

The agency said there were 112,000 private-sector jobs lost in August, while selfemployment rose by 87,000. The number of public-sector employees rose by 14,000.

The weak jobs data has also given Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz little reason to change interest rates any time soon.

In his last announcement, Poloz said he was holding the central bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s key interest rate steady at one per cent, a level where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been for the past four years.

Mine fire forces miners into refuge THE CANADIAN PRESS

SASKATOON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; About half of almost 100 workers at a potash mine near Saskatoon were still underground on Wednesday, Sept. 10, after a fire forced them into refuge stations.

Bill Johnson with Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan said yesterday (Sept. 11) all the trapped workers at the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Allan mine had safely made it to the surface.

But, he later said a power outage stopped some of the underground fans in one area from clearing smoke, which prevented the remaining miners from leaving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have some folks underground,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just being extra cautious in terms of waiting for

the smoke to dissipate . . . Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get people up on the surface shortly.â&#x20AC;?

A government spokeswoman said that, as of Thursday morning, 54 of the 96 miners remained underground.

All have been accounted for and there are no injuries.

The fire was sparked by an underground water truck about 3 p.m. on Wednesday and a crew spent the next eight hours putting out the flames and clearing smoke.

Some miners were released throughout the night.

Johnson said the self-contained safety units are equipped to keep workers safe and comfortable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not palatial but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sealed off, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got

cards to keep occupied.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; There have been similar occurrences at other Saskatchewan mines in recent years.

In February, about 50 workers at the Agrium mine near Vanscoy spent a night in the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refuge station due to a fire.

In 2013, 318 miners raced to safety units after flames broke out at Mosaicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s K2 potash mine near Esterhazy.

They spent several hours underground until the smoke had cleared. Seven years earlier, a fire at the same facility trapped 72 workers in refuge stations for 30 hours.

Another fire in 2012 at PotashCorpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rocanville mine in eastern Saskatchewan forced 20 miners to seek shelter.

Need Apple Watch-dog for privacy, security TECH COMPANY UNVEILS NEW PRODUCTS, WHILE USERS EXPOSED

K

irsten Dunst didn’t need to share her “intimate” heartbeat when she recently turned up naked on the Internet.

Her tweet on Sept. 1, which read “Thank you iCloud,” followed by a smiley pile of poop, said it all pretty clearly.

California’s successful tech company, Apple, unveiled its new lineup of products earlier this week, but the announcement came in the wake of a highly publicized privacy breach.

Dunst and upwards of 100 other female celebrities reportedly had their iCloud accounts hacked, with their private naked photographs posted online for all the world to see.

Apparently, a hacker found a way to restore the stars’ iCloud data and access everything.

In a press release issued by Apple, it called the incident a “very targeted attack on user names, passwords and security questions.”

JESSICA WALLACE

Generation

GAP

Apple dismissed blame, but company CEO Tim Cook later said new security features would be added.

In the meantime, Apple went on with the show.

It previewed the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus during a live announcement on Tuesday, Sept. 9.

Its newest phones are said to compete with Android’s size.

The new phones are also said to have better battery life, display and camera options.

They will be available for sale

in Canada later this month.

The company also announced another software upgrade — iOS an 8 — along with Apple Pay, which allows people to use their phone al to make purchases on their credit cards. ca However, the biggest news was, perhaps, the Apple Watch. pe It is the company’s newest major product since the iPad and m since the death of founder Steve Jobs — and it is the first one to be wearable.

Millions of personalized watch faces are just the beginning.

Messages can be dictated into the watch and you can speak into it for a call or transfer to an iPhone for longer conversations.

The watch will also be able to “tap” you when receiving incoming messages.

“It gets your attention the way another person would,” Apple’s website says of the product’s feature.

It also promotes an “entirely new conversation.”

Sketch pictures for friends, walkie-talkie them or — send them your heart rate.

A sensor in the watch will record and send heartbeats, like any other message, with Apple calling it a “simple and intimate way to tell someone how you feel.”

So, if Apple has its way, by 2015 we will all look like a bunch of Dick Tracy wannabes talking into our wrists, while being tapped incessantly with “intimate” heartbeats strapped to our arms and flashing in front of our eyes all day, every day.

One problem, Apple — nobody even wears a watch any more.

We tell time on that iPhone you sold us.

So, why?

A closer look at the accessibility of if all — strapped to your wrist — seems to be in keeping with the technological evolution dubbed the Internet of Things, an online interconnectivity with objects from our day-to-day lives.

Imagine — among others — your lights, coffee maker, fridge and door locks all linked to turn on, off or lock behind you automatically.

Your lights might turn on in the morning, linked to your

Your coffee maker might know you had scheduled an obscure work meeting and set the dark roast to brew an hour earlier than your typical wakeup call.

Your door might lock behind you on your way out.

It might be controlled by a computer, a smartphone or, perhaps, a watch.

The Apple Watch is set to be released next year and this digital lifestyle might still be years away — or never even happen.

I just hope Apple gets a better pulse of our personal security before then.

Because, when we trust our lives to our electronics, we are revealing much more than our boobs on the Internet.

ita Chiarelli hopes to get back into the studio soon to record a new album.

After she finishes the mini-tour this month that will bring her to Kamloops on Sept. 25.

And, after she heads back to Louisiana to see Ray Jones, an inmate in Angola Prison.

And, after she’s honoured as a blues legend in Toronto and just days before Christmas, takes part in a celebration of female singers from around the world.

There are also some more screenings planned for Music from

the Big House, a documentary shot in Angola — where she met Jones — “that just keeps going,” Chiarelli said.

With a three-octave voice range and a connection to the blues she finds difficult to explain, Chiarelli has won enough awards to fill a couple of mantelpieces.

But, she said, for her it’s always just about the music, something she connected with as a young girl living in Hamilton to immigrant parents in blue-collar jobs.

“It’s not that we ever went to bed hungry, or anything like that,” Chiarelli said, “but it was really, really hard for them.

“Music was my salvation, a way to express myself. I would drive

my parents crazy playing my records over and over and over. And, when I first heard the blues, it was like it was talking to me — wow, you know, that’s how I feel.”

Chiarelli said she could always sing and started doing it at a young age, continuing into her teen years and, eventually started performing with Ronnie Hawkin’s band in the 1980s.

In 1992, she released her first recording, Road Rockets. Her early

career was dominated by covers of some of the blues greats, she said, “but I came to a point where I had to express myself, the tunes had to be how I felt,” and she started writing her own.

Her career came to a turning point in 2000 when she was driving down Highway 61 in the U.S. — known as the Blues Highway — and saw a sign for the prison, home to 5,000 inmates, a place where the average sentence is 90 years.

Some of the singers whose music she knew were incarcerated there at one point — Huddie William Ledbetter (better known as Leadbelly), Freddie Fender, Robert Pete Williams, among others. Chiarelli was taken by that music history of the prison and started the process for approval to perform there.

Soon, that goal turned into a mission to find the music still in the prison and bring it to the stage.

That plan then morphed to bring in film director Bruce McDonald — with whom she worked in 1989, when he added one of her songs to the soundtrack of Roadkill — to film the concert.

Long story short, a decade later, Chiarelli

was in Angola, the cameras were rolling and some of the prisoners, including Jones, were singing for their fellow inmates.

“The film has kept me so busy,” she said.

“I didn’t expect this. I was hoping for the best but I never imagined it would have this much success.

But I felt in my heart if anyone saw this film, they would have to be moved.”

She wrote a song for the soundtrack of the documentary and These Four Walls remains one of her favourites.

“I wanted, when I was asked to write a tune for it, I wanted to reflect how I thought the inmates felt. It’s a powerful tune.”

Others from her discography that are par-

ticularly special to her include I Can Change For You and If You Were Crying Over Me. They’ll likely be part of the show later this month at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre.

There will be some from Cuore, a recording of Italian songs she made, and some from the documentary.

She’ll include something from all nine of her recordings and will “road test” some new ones.

And, when the tour is done, she’ll get ready to pack her bags and head to Angola, where she hopes to check in with Jones, one of the inmates with whom she has kept contact.

Odds are there will be some music included in that reunion.

Creating garden jewels Creatin When artists create a piece of art, they often take the setting in which it is going to be displayed into consideration.

Paintings look wonderful in the home or office, but do not stand up well in the garden.

When creating art that will work with the elements, we need to change the type of materials we are using.

Landscape artist Elaine Nadin understands this process well.

She creates one-of-a-kind concrete garden art specifically designed to look beautiful amongst the flowers and grass, but it can also withstand our ever-changing climate and look beautiful yearround.

In the following interview, artist Elaine Nadin speaks about her art and her creative process.

Karla: What is your professional background and what is your favourite creative medium?

Elaine: I spent 25 years in the landscape industry with 15 of those as owner-operator of my own yardmaintenance business.

I dabble in acrylic painting but my main medium at this time is concrete and grout, adding natural elements and any form of found items.

Another passion is â&#x20AC;&#x153;living framesâ&#x20AC;? using hardy, drought-tolerant plants to create a design to hang outdoors.

Baskets and driftwood act as the base for frames.

Glass etching is my winter-stress release.

Framed with natural elements such as copper tubing, driftwood, lengths of branches â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

whatever strikes me at the time.

Karla: How did you get your start in art?

Elaine: One day, I joined my then-10year-old sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class in a couple of painting classes taught by their school teacher, Thor Fredrickson.

I took that home and played for months, learning as I went.

I received a gift of art classes through Karlaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gallery and finally got the basic fundamentals of acrylics.

The concrete work began years ago by making stepping stones using rhubarb as the form.

Playing and experiments moved on to more complicated objects using natural and man-made objects Karla: Who is your greatest inspiration as an artist?

Elaine: I still believe

And, best of all, my girlfriendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; encouragement. They knew I had too many ideas in my head â&#x20AC;&#x201D; had to find an outlet Karla: What is your creative history?

Elaine: I always had my hand in something from a young age, generally inspired by my late grandmother such as beading, macramĂŠ, liquid embroidery and pottery.

Artistic talents followed me through some time as a cook at seasonal resorts.

Eventually, I put those creative abilities into the landscape industry.

I retired in 2012 and found myself needing to create landscapes in a more portable medium.

Want to learn how to be a knight?

Make a magic wand â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or a wizard potion?

Learn to scale a mountainside?

There will be people ready to give this kind of instruction on Saturday, Sept.

13, at the 15th annual Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art Festival at Riverside Park.

Kathy Sinclair, executive director of the Kamloops Arts Council, said the event has 40 interactive booths this year, more than any

previous year. And, with a theme of Fables and Fantasy, there will be plenty of opportunities to get a feel for life in Camelot or learn how to make a Secwepemc animal mask.

The festival came about when the city approached the council and raised the idea of an event designed just for kids.

It made sense and, since then, the city has been the main supporter, handing over its downtown green space for the day for children to play and be entertained.

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

This year, the headliner is The Green Man, brought to the city courtesy of John Conway, who has created the show based on the legend of the Green Man â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also known through history and lore as the Guardian of the Green World.

His show, Imbas: inspiration involves the eight-foot-tall forest spirit creating a forest through art, music and interaction.

Kiki the Eco Elf will also present her ecologically aware performance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; own Uncle

Chris the Clown will bring his crazy antics to the festival.

The festival isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest event â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that remains the July 1 Art in the Park â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it is still one of the most popular, with an estimated 4,000 people taking part.

This year, Sinclair said, stickers will be handed out to try and get a firm idea on the attendance.

The festival starts at 11 a.m. and runs to 4 p.m.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rain-or-shine event â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but, Sinclair said, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been watch-

he Salmon Arm Folk Music Society is seeking a lifeline from the city and whoever else can help to make next year’s Roots and Blues Festival happen.

“Desperate” was how music-society board member Kelly Moores described the organization’s financial situation to Salmon Arm city council during a recent public input meeting for next year’s budget.

But, as Moores and co-presenters Brook Roberts and Doug Hearn explained, the music society needs help sooner than later.

“We need your help if we’re going to continue,” said Moores.

“It’s a blunt statement, but it’s the absolute truth. Our operating budget does not allow us to book performers for the 2015 Roots and Blues Festival right now.”

Roberts, the society’s treasurer, explained the organization needs to

raise $150,000 this fall in order to continue to pay staff and rent and begin booking bands for next year.

“What we’re asking for is any help the city can provide to level the playing field with our competition,” Moores said.

Much of the 45-minute presentation explained how the society wound up in this situation and what it is looking to do to cut costs.

Moores said the initial hit this year came with the loss of the festival’s largest corporate sponsor, Sirius Satellite, and its $50,000 contribution.

The cost of hiring a security company — a provincial requirement — was another $20,000, up from $11,500 in 2012.

Other fixed costs included site rental ($12,500), porta-potties ($20,000), electricity and staging ($80,000).

“All of our competitors have their sites at no charge,” Moores said.

“Most of them even have permanent stages constructed, power, water and, in many cases, washrooms —

things like that, which is a huge chunk of our operating budget.”

Moores said competing festivals in the region had an impact this year, as did the weather.

“When you looked at the forecasts three days prior, two days prior . . . people made that decision not to come,” Moore explained.

“It’s evidenced by our attendance being down 10 per cent — a little under 10 per cent.

“That really mirrors what our drop in walkup ticket sales was for the event.

“And that’s that sweet spot that we needed to hit in order to make the event financially successful.”

For this year’s festival, the artistic budget was cut by $60,000 — or 17 per cent — from the prior year and Hearn said the society is looking to further reduce the number of acts and stages at next year’s festival.

This, in turn, would reduce costs associated with artist accommodation and volunteers, which he said amounts to $36,000 ($40 per volunteer).

Roberts said one

of the challenges is balancing the cost of headline acts with the rest of the festival.

He explained how, for this year’s festival, the society offered $150,000 — half of the artistic budget — to the Tragically Hip, but were turned down.

Rejection also came from Sarah McLachlan, who the society offered $100,000 to play plus overnight accommodation and flights to and from her summer home in Tofino.

Hearn said the society will also be looking at cutting outreach programs including Routes and Blues, as well as grants to festival partners.

Council noted there is no money left in the 2014 budget (in which the society received $45,000), but was amenable to having

staff work with them in order to find some short-term solutions.

Coun. Ken Jamieson suggested the society go back to its roots by doing community fundraisers.

Moores indicated the society is doing just that, planning a fundraiser to save the festival.

“We’re going to do what we do best . . . put on a concert, a benefit fundraiser concert,” Moores said.

“We’ll work with Peter [artistic director Peter North], see if we can get one or two headline acts at 10 cents on the dollar, you know, all the local musicians that we’ve helped along the way, see if they can perform for free . . . all the fun we can for the Savethe-Roots-and-Blues fundraiser.”

turgis Canada closed a day early because of low attendance and a shortage of volunteers, according to the music festival and motorcycle rallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president Joan Hansen.

Approximately 1,100 tickets were sold in advance of the festival, which ran Aug. 21 to Aug. 23 at the old Mountainfest site.

Hansen said tickets sold at the gate, but the final count was not known as of press time.

She estimates about 2,000 people attended the festival site, when headliner Burton Cummings played.

In terms of volunteers, Hansen said about 100 had confirmed, but only about 45 actually showed up.

As for those who bought tickets for the Aug. 23 show, Hansen said they are leaning toward offering a credit as opposed to a full refund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to make any promises at this point, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on a plan,â&#x20AC;?

Hansen said.

Hansen said weather may have been an influencing factor in the low turnout as the area did see some rain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a whole lot of people show up from Merritt on the Thursday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the free day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it could possibly be weatherrelated as well, which

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking it is.â&#x20AC;?

Hansen didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say whether or not the festival will return to Merritt next year, as organizers need to evaluate if it is a viable location after crunching the numbers.

Hansen said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to hear from the people and business owners in Merritt to see if Sturgis Canada has their support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to come back if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no support,â&#x20AC;? Hansen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already heard a lot of people want us back, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to know from the business perspective whether it was even profitable for the town.â&#x20AC;?

City of Merritt chief administrative officer Allan Chabot said the city is supportive of festivals and events, realizing they can bring cultural and economic benefits.

Chabot said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heard suggestions through other media sources the Merritt RCMP had too many roadblocks at the festival and caused too many problems, which he disagrees with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think some accusations have been made and certainly thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of concern to us, particularly if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not accurate,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The festival site is privately owned land in the Thompson Nicola Regional District and is not part of the City of Merritt.

Hansen said while sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heard complaints from festival patrons about the RCMP roadblocks, she had no issue with the police.

Merritt RCMP Sgt. Norm Flemming recently addressed city council at its regular meeting night regarding speculation that police had something to do with the early shutdown.

He said the rumour police seized upwards of 30 motorcycles is false, as they did not seize any motorbikes.

He also said the detachment didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring officers in from out of town.

Merritt RCMP Staff Sgt. Sheila White said there were only a few violations over the course of the weekend.

Tickets were issued for having improper helmets and for having improper driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licences.

During the festival, White said, police responded to four calls at the site of the music festival â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two arrests were made for drunk in public without issue and they were taken to jail to sober up.

White said police responded to â&#x20AC;&#x153;a consensual fightâ&#x20AC;? between a member of the Hellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Angels and a member of another motorcycle club during the Burton Cummings concert.

The following morning, police responded to a call of causing a disturbance between staff members of Sturgis Canada.

No charges were laid in that incident, she said.

Unpaid bills

The owner of the Merritt Intown Inn is upset with Sturgis organizers, claiming they

A9 B9

have yet to pay a bill totalling about $5,000 incurred during this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival.

Qian Xiang â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who also goes by the name Chen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said he has yet to be paid for rooms booked for the festival.

He said organizer Ray Sasseville booked upwards of 40 rooms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sleep for two or three days,â&#x20AC;?

Chen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh man, this is horrible.â&#x20AC;?

The bill is $4,791.20. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They hurt the business,â&#x20AC;? Chen said.

He said the RCMP told him there was nothing they could do for him about the welshed debt.

Flemming said that to his understanding, an agreement was made between the two parties to settle the bill after the fact and, in that case, it becomes a civil matter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Essentially, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve extended credit to the individual,â&#x20AC;? Flemming said.

The Merritt legion is also owed payment from Sturgis Canada, but treasurer Marguerite Kempin said she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting to be paid as not much beer was sold.

Kempin said the legion was given a contract good for $5,000 to serve beer at the festival.

She said the legion was also expected to receive another $5,000 if the festival netted $10,000 from beer sales, but said that bonus is unlikely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make money, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if you have your

contract signed with blood on gold paper.

If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no money, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no money,â&#x20AC;?

Kempin said.

Hansen told the Herald festival organizers are putting their bills in order and working on a repayment plan for the Intown Inn as well as the legion.

Q: Why is there a bird on top of the Landmark Heights building on McGill Road and Summit Drive?

Preventing gang activity in BC ▾ MYTH: As a gangsters girlfriend or wife you’ll have everything you want: Reality: Even gangsters’ girlfriends and wives are the target of violence and retribution, with women associated in some way to gangsters murdered, some in front of their children.

Over the past several years there have been a number of women associated in some way to gangsters murdered, some in front of their children.

A: Construction superintendent Jesse Schienbein says the wooden cutout on top of a Landmark Heights building under construction is, in fact, a rooster — or, maybe, a chicken.

He said two Kelowna foreman from The Bikers Construction are responsible for the imagery along McGill Road.

The two men are framers, sometimes contracted in Kamloops. They have been putting up the walls for the most recent phase of Landmark Heights and recently began on the building’s roof.

When their project is near completion, they put the bird on top of the roof, usually a spray-painted piece of plywood.

“They do it every building,” Schienbein said.

“It’s just been something that these framers have been doing since about 1970 . . . . to signify to the city that they’re almost done.”

Schienbein said Kamloops residents may have seen chickens or roosters on rooftops on Lorne Street and at Ponderosa Lodge in recent years.

or the most part, it went as planned.

It was simple, really.

We would do a threeday walk around the 1066 Battle of Hastings area in the south of England. We’d stroll over rolling green dales and pop into a castle or two, where we’d learn the history about the Battle of 1066 (history that I knew was important, but the details of which I had somehow neglected to fully absorb during my spotty education).

I pictured sunny little September picnics before checking in to the next town’s B & B. VisitBritain helped set the plan in motion: An afternoon train from London, a quick cab to the nearby town of Battle, a little history lesson by walking around the Battle Abbey site, an early dinner and, then, for the next two days, some good and proper tramping through the English countryside.

Indeed, we stood on the battlefield, listened to the audio guide, read the signs, walked through the museum and, yes, I felt like I finally understood what had taken place and why it was so historically significant.

To sum up: The Normans beat the Anglo-Saxons, forever changing laws and adding heaps of castles to the mix.

There was just one thing.

The weather was utterly and fantastically miserable.

As we exited the cab at the Abbey, our umbrellas were immediately rendered useless by the howling wind.

Rain swirled up our noses, leaving us senseless and gasping. Our silly light shoes were soaked. Why did we think we wouldn’t need good hiking boots?

That night, the rain continued to slop out of the dark, spinning and spewing on blistering winds.

We hunkered down in the Lilac Tree Lodge, taking solace by drinking tea and eating lovely oh-so-moist almondsprinkled cake. The wind continued to batter the walls, providing the soundtrack to that long-ago war.

But, when morning dawned, the sodden garden flowers of the night before were transformed.

Besotted with sunshine, we immediately got lost.

After a heart-thudding ascent back to the start of the trail, we paid strict attention to the instructions found in

EB Discounts!

Nick Brown’s book, The 1066 Country Walk.

It was not the fault of his excellent descriptions, but rather our collective inability to note the obvious.

Chastised by our error, we began reading more closely and the rest of the morning’s walk went as written.

So much so that we managed to meet the author within five minutes of the agreed-upon time of noon in a tiny lane near Westfield. We’d bashed off close to eight kilometres and had another eight to go.

With Nick at our side, we cruised through stubbled fields and over stiles. Perfect white puffy clouds blew overhead, birds twittered and streams rushed.

We checked into The Strand in Winchelsea, an inn dating back to the 13th century with a multiplicity of signs advising us to “Mind Your Head,” a reminder that the ever-settling-andskewed doors and low-slung rafters might present a challenge for anyone taller than five feet.

Our final day dawned as bright as the day before.

We walked past the flaming yellow gorse, the baa-ing sheep and picked the last of the season’s blackberries as we headed to Rye, a city with more historically listed buildings than any other town in England.

In fact, the entire town is listed.

So, it wasn’t enough that we were able to walk through every period of architectural history and imbibe a beer at a pub that’s had continuous patronage for the last 600 years, but we also discovered Rye was (I hope!) the only town in Ye Olde England that has the gibbetted remains of a long-ago criminal in their town hall attic (gibbetting, in case, like me, you also missed that bit of historical trivia, was the act of caging an already-dead-by-hanging corpse so it could rot publicly as a further deterrent to would-be criminals).

It worked. In spite of the dearth of traffic, we were careful to obey each and every crosswalk signal.

On your next trip to London, I respectfully suggest you grab a train down to the Sussex area.

Take a walkabout and end it by strolling over the cobblestoned streets of Rye. You might not see a ghost of some poor previously gibbetted soul, but I promise you’ll have a fabulous time.

Just don’t break any laws and be sure to bring your boots.

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.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
