DANGEROUS OFFENDER REPEAT CHILD MOLESTER DAVID JENNINGS MAY SPEND THE REST OF HIS LIFE BEHIND BARS

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops judge has stuck a dangerousoffender tag on an unrepentant pedophile found guilty of molesting an eight-year-old boy who knew him as “Uncle Dave.�

David Jennings, 51, has also been handed a indeterminate sentence — a penalty that means he could spend the rest of his life in jail. “Not only is Mr. Jennings a pedophile, he’s an untreated pedophile,� sentencing judge Len Marchand said in his decision yesterday (Sept. 25) at the Kamloops Law Courts.

Jennings has convictions for sexually touching and assaulting children dating back to 1985 in Alberta, when he fondled two girls — ages three and five.

He was convicted seven years later in Edmonton of sexual interference for sexually touching a four-year-old girl while babysitting.

In 1996, he was convicted of sexual interference for sexually touching a five-year-old boy.

In each case, Jennings worked to befriend children or families and place himself in a position where he could be alone with the kids.

Corrections officials and police attempted to control Jennings once he completed his

sentences through a series of peace bonds, which he breached on a regular basis.

Police once found his room full of stuffed children’s toys and children’s videos.

Jennings also breached court conditions on multiple occasions by intentionally being near children, including an instance in Ashcroft, where he placed a four-year-old boy on his lap, and on another occasion in Kamloops, where he gave a stuffed toy to a young boy and later approached the family’s car to chat with them.

Marchand said those incidents clearly show children cannot be protected from Jennings through the lesser designation of long-term offender status and a supervision order in the community — orders he has shown he cannot or will not follow.

Jennings’ final offence in a rural area outside Kamloops involved sexually molesting an eight-year-old boy while he was babysitting for the family.

This contact came despite high-profile public warnings from authorities.

He threatened the boy with harm if he told anyone.

Police were notified of the assault, which occurred in 2011 after the boy spotted the man he called “Uncle Dave� in a newspaper clipping on the wall of a social-services office,

warning the public about the risk he posed in the community.

Crown prosecutor Joel Gold introduced evidence from three psychologists, all of whom said Jennings is at a high risk to re-offend, minimizes his offences and won’t admit to his sexual attraction to children.

While he has not admitted guilt, Jennings has complained of treatment by justice officials and the media and sought treatment for what he claimed was sexual abuse he suffered as a child in Alberta.

Following the sentencing hearing, Jennings blurted out to Marchand he will appeal the sentence.

Marchand said he has empathy for Jennings and his childhood, which involved being placed in ministry care at four years and being called “stupid.�

Jennings has intellectual problems and selfidentifies as having Cree heritage.

Marchand said he hopes Jennings will finally seek treatment in jail, treatment that must be tailored to his lower intellectual skills. “He has nothing to lose and everything to gain by opening up about his attraction to children,� Marchand said, adding any hope of release from federal penitentiary “rests largely on Mr. Jennings.�

STONE: ARTIFACT FINDS WON’T AFFECT END DATE CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Significant archaeological finds, including remains dating back 8,000 years, are hampering a project to four-lane the TransCanada Highway west of Kamloops.

However, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone told KTW the discovery will not slow completion.

The project was forecast to be completed this year when it was announced in 2013.

Following discovery in 2009 of human remains, several First Nations groups declared the work could not continue.

An impasse con-

tinued that was solved when Stone took over as minister last year.

That led to a new protocol that made First Nations, the Neskonlith Indian Band in particular, responsible for all archaeological work.

“We took the responsibility and decision-making on that,” Neskonlith Chief Judy Wilson said.

“We said it’s [TransCanada corridor] a red zone and we have to be careful . . . They’re not pushing through. It’s a bit painstaking and slow. It should be. We all have to learn.”

Wilson said the archaeological work confirms the strip is part of the “cradle of Secwepemc civiliza-

tion” and there is a determination not to allow any remains to be moved.

In July the federal and provincial governments announced phase two of the Monte Creek to Pritchard project and phase one of the Pritchard to Hoffman’s Bluff work, part of a $110-million four-laning project.

Stone said the ministry and its contractors are working closely with First Nations groups.

“We don’t anticipate any significant delays,” he said.

“Highways projects of this size always encounter things, including archaeological projects, that alter timelines.”

The Neskonlith band contracted Ron and Marianne Ignace to complete a cultural heritage study to better determine the area’s significance.

Ignace, an adjunct professor at Simon Fraser University and also chief of the Skeetchestn Indian Band, said it’s not an exaggeration to call the valley between Campbell Creek east of Kamloops to Adams Lake the cradle of Secwepemc civilization.

His research included interviews with elders, hunters, fisherman and archival information.

“We concluded it was intensely utilized and inhabited,” Ignace said.

“It’s a well-storied route.”

Ignace said evidence of a fish-weir system on the South Thompson River near the highway

work means hundreds of people would have been involved harvesting fish.

Those aboriginal people needed a place

BUSINESS OR COMPANY? Not Knowing The Difference Could Cost You Personally You’re starting a business or a company? The words are often used interchangeably, but they refer to two entirely different concepts and the misuse can create confusion. Owning a business does not mean you own a company.

A business can take various forms, from installing windows and doors to selling food. A company is a legal entity that can have the same power as a person. That is, a company can carry on its own business and enter into a contract or own its own assets.

Ross Friedman, a professor in the department of biological sciences at Thompson Rivers University, studies the dwarf mistletoe, a parasitic flower that

attacks forests.

The Royal Society of Canada is a collegial group of scholars, artists and scientists who promote interdisciplinary learning and research in the arts, humanities and natural and social sciences.

The group to which Ross Friedman belongs is charged

to live and travel along the route.

“I understand the number of artifacts they’re unearthing is phenomenal,” he said.

WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE When you form a company, the company will be sued if its business does something wrong. If a person does not have a company and runs a business, they will personally be sued.

Boaters seeking to overturn boatlaunch ban For more than two decades, there has been no public trailer boat launch on Paul Lake CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

PAUL LAKE — Lounging on his floating deck, Ed Lund can look across the placid water to the distant Paul Lake Provincial Park where users carry down canoes and kayaks across the beach to the shoreline.

Beside him, and tied to his dock, are three boats — a pontoon boat, a ski boat and a cartopper. Along the waterfront, fellow owners on the west end of the lake have all types of craft, ranging from a cabin cruiser and sailboat to wake-

boats and ski boats.

Due to a longstanding provincial policy, Lund and other Paul Lake residents have the lake as a personal playground.

And, the use is close to exclusive because, other than those paddle craft, no one is able to practically launch a boat from public property on the picturesque lake just 30 minutes northeast of the Tournament Capital.

Len Piggin is out to change all that.

The president of the Kamloops Fly Fishers Association has completed freedom of information requests to

understand why boaters are largely excluded from the lake unless they have waterfront property or can pack a boat down the beach or a ramp that has been altered to prevent access to trailers.

More than two decades ago, “20 people converged on the ministry,� Piggin said. “They said there was near-misses and erosion issues and they didn’t want any more powerboats on the lake — except their own,� he said. “It gave them exclusive use.�

LOCAL NEWS City of Kamloops Notice of Disposition Pursuant to Sections 26(3) and 94 of the Community Charter, the City of Kamloops (the “City�) is disposing of part of the laneway located adjacent to 37 Battle Street West legally described as: That part of District Lot 232 KDYD shown on Plan EPP43491 (the “Property�).

The City is transferring the Property to Richard Boyce and Patricia Campbell for the purchase price of $10,180.00.

Any enquiries may be directed to David Freeman, R.I. (BC) Asst. Director, Dev.& Eng. Services/Real Estate Manager at 250-828-3548.

Paul Lake property owner Ed Lund is worried opening the lake to public boaters would “turn it into Cultus Lake.�

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

manager who now works part-time at an outdoor store in his semi-retirement, said at first he couldn’t believe that one meeting of 20 people could shut down a public ramp.

So, he filed a second freedom of information request to ensure he didn’t miss anything.

There were no incident reports of collisions or near-misses. “There was only one complaint,� he said.

That complaint resulted in the boat launch at Paul Lake Provincial Park being modified more than two decades ago so boats could no longer be launched from a trailer.

But, Piggin and other anglers say, the policy is unfair to other taxpayers and visitors.

Don Trethewey, a director with the Kamloops Fish & Game Association, just spent thousands of dollars on an automatic boatloader for his pickup.

But, it’s useless at the park’s boat launch because he can’t get it close enough to the water.

Now in his 70s, Trethewey said he is not physically strong enough to drag or carry his aluminum boat to the water at Paul Lake. “I can’t do that anymore,� he said.

The Ministry of Environment declined to make staff available for an interview with KTW. Instead, a representative sent an unattributed note saying large boats can “create conflicts.� “A trailer-accessible boat launch is not offered at Paul Lake Park, but there are many other lakes and provincial parks in the Kamloops area providing this opportunity,� the note said.

The ministry is looking at options short of opening up the launch.

But, Piggin and other anglers say, that response is not good enough. “Open it up,� he said, noting he is asked regularly at Wholesale Sports, where he works, why boats can’t be launched from a trailer on Paul Lake. “Right now, there’s

no one out here,� he said on a sunny day in mid-September, when the only boaters on the lake were in two kayaks. “It’s a shame. There should be six to 12 boats out here on a day like this — it’s gorgeous.�

Jim Knowles, a city marine enthusiast and author of a book on wooden heritage boats, said the province can opt for speed or horsepower restrictions if opening the launch creates hazards.

Such restrictions are in place at Big Bar Lake, Heffley Lake, Lac Le Jeune and Little Lac Des Roches lakes. “I’d love access to it,� he said. “If they get problems, they can apply for

speed restrictions.�

But, any speed limits or other restrictions would place a crimp on boating the 6.5-kilometre lake for residents at both ends.

Lund said residents set up a Facebook page where they can discuss community affairs, including policing boaters going too fast or creating erosion by planing in the wrong spots.

Knowles added he has sympathy for the anglers and doesn’t mind car-top boats getting better access. But, he’s worried about an onslaught of boaters. “If they open up the boat launch, it will turn it into Cultus Lake,� he said of the busy recreational lake in the Fraser Valley.

SOMETIMES, JUSTICE IS SERVED The murder in Surrey this month of teenager Serena Vermeersch, and the subsequent arrest of notorious rapist Raymond Caissie in connection to the slaying, has understandably led to outrage.

A glance at Caissie’s Parole Board of Canada documents shows officials essentially knew he would rape or kill when released from prison.

After being denied parole again and again, Caissie was finally released after serving every day of a 22-year sentence for the violent sexual assault of a woman in Abbotsford.

From Premier Christy Clark on down to callers to radio talk shows, the questions are everywhere: How can Canada’s laws be changed to ensure the very worst offenders, like Caissie, never again walk among and rape and kill the innocent?

The murder of Serena and the notoriety of her suspected killer has landed at the feet of federal Justice Minister Peter MacKay, who conceded the laws need to be reviewed.

Kamloops is no stranger to suffering at the hands of a repeat offender.

A few years ago, serial rapist Jack Froese had to be released from prison — as with Caissie, the release was mandated by law — and ended up moving to Valleyview.

His arrival was met with a rare public warning from Kamloops RCMP, who did indeed keep a close eye on Froese. However, Mounties cannot watch a man 24 hours a day and, eventually, Froese did what we all knew he would do and a store clerk in the city will live with the sexual attack forever.

What can be done?

Well, an answer to that was illustrated in a Kamloops courtroom yesterday (Sept. 25), when pedophile David Jennings was finally labelled a dangerous offender for repeat sexual assaults on children.

The dangerous-offender designation means Jennings will go to prison for an indeterminate period of time — and, in this case, it could very well mean Jennings will be behind bars for the rest of his life.

Sometimes, the justice system does work.

Have they done the job?

I

n November, voters will be hiring local politicians for a fouryear term, rather than the former three-year stretch.

It’s a good time to ask some tough questions about the performance of councils on the job they are assigned to do, as opposed to posturing about senior government matters.

Remember when it was fashionable for city councils to declare their communities “a nuclear weapons-free zone”?

You can still see the signs entering Vancouver and Nanaimo. Alert voters may wonder: “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” Yes, they did. And some of them still do.

To illustrate, allow me to introduce my poster child for bad local government — Victoria Coun. Ben Isitt.

A longtime NDP activist, Isitt got elected three years ago after raising his name recognition with a couple of runs for mayor. His rookie term has been notable for a series of stunts that extend his career as a professional student, campus radical and occasional history lecturer.

One of Isitt’s big studies is the influence of Soviet communism on the B.C. NDP. He was on one of his visits to Russia earlier this year when President Vladimir Putin was having his way with Crimea.

Isitt’s fondness for state control was on display last fall when aboriginal protesters disrupted natural-gas drilling in New Brunswick, torching several

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA police vehicles in the process.

Isitt took to his Facebook page to decry the federal government’s use of police against the population — and suggested Canada should emulate Venezuela, where petroleum resources benefit the people rather than corporations.

Venezuela sells gasoline for nine cents a gallon, the late Hugo Chavez’s gift to his people after nationalizing the oil industry. The capital, Caracas, is famous for extreme poverty, brutally suppressed riots and a crime rate so bad it ranks among the world’s most dangerous cities.

How does Isitt’s political outlook translate to his role in local government?

This week, local politicians gathered in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.

One of Isitt’s first contributions a couple of years ago was at a UBCM workshop on how to finance local infrastructure.

Isitt proposed setting up a municipal income tax.

Presumably, this would be on

top of property taxes.

In its wisdom, Victoria council appointed Isitt as its Capital Regional District representative. In that capacity, he led the charge against Canada Post’s decision to wind up door-todoor delivery for the minority of people who aren’t already using community mailboxes.

After instructing Ottawa to accelerate the bankruptcy of this Crown corporation, Isitt began ordering the province to intervene in a dispute over Grace Islet, a rocky point off Salt Spring Island, where an Alberta man is trying to build a retirement home.

The dispute centres on aboriginal burial grounds and artifacts, and Isitt appointed himself advocate for the grievances of native people.

When the B.C. government didn’t follow his instructions, he demanded the CRD expropriate the land and evict the owner.

Island politics being what it is, this was actually considered before cooler heads prevailed.

And, how are things with the CRD’s real job while the Isitt circus rolls on? The most overgoverned region in B.C. remains locked in a bitter turf war over a federally mandated sewagetreatment project and is on the verge of forfeiting hundreds of millions in provincial funds.

So, voters should ask themselves a couple of questions on Nov. 15: Is your council doing the job it was hired to do? Do you trust these individuals with your wallet until the fall of 2018? tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A TREE SPEAKS

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Editor: A poem in honour of National Forest Week, which runs through Saturday, Sept. 27: A Tree A tree along the mountainside lay withering in sorrow, Ah! Think of what I might have been had I been let to grow, Up tall with the sun to shine upon my upturned face, My branches spread all stately, green and full of grace.

To bend and sway when the wind would blow, And, swirling, let me leaves cover the ground below, To watch the children in summer as they frolic in the sun, And wish at times that I, too, could laugh and jump and run.

To gladly let my leaves and bark be nibbled by the deer, Or be used as an itching post for some itchy steer.

For talking happy picnickers to eat beneath my shade, As shelter for kids at play, pretending there’s a raid.

In autumn, with wondrous joy, to have leaves of every hue, To blush with pride and happiness and bring pleasure to you.

Alas, these treasures will be lost to me, As the things that could have been will cease to be.

Man with so little thought has laid so much to waste, Thinking seldom of the beauty with which our earth’s been graced.

WE OWE LACASSE AND RCMP ‘A HUGE THANK YOU’ Editor: Re: KTW’s front-page story of Sept. 18 on the trial of Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Rick Brown (‘Trial hears of ‘bully’ heading ‘dysfunctional detachment’): I feel the story was in poor taste and attacked the character and reputation of former superintendent Yves Lacasse when he was in charge of the Kamloops RCMP detachment.

Lacasse was not on trial, yet the story focused on testimony of unsubstantiated rumors by two former employees, one of whom labelled Lacasse as a “bully.”

When Lacasse was transferred to

Kamloops, he was given a strong mandate to clean up the gang activity and crime- and drug-related issues, to create a safe and better community for us to raise our families .

Unfortunately, with a strong mandate like that, he was bound to step on some toes internally as not everyone was going to agree with his direction.

While Lacasse headed the Kamloops RCMP, property crime was virtually cut in half, gangs were busted for their criminal activities and sentenced to jail accordingly and drug-related crime and activities were reduced drastically.

Kamloops became a model city across

Canada for its crime-reduction initiatives, all because of the hard work and dedication of this former inspector.

For anybody to label Lacasse a “bully” and not tell the whole story is a slap in the face and total insult to the former inspector for all his hard work and dedication to our community.

We owe Lacasse and the whole team at the RCMP detachment a huge thank you for all the hard work they do to make Kamloops a great place to live.

Bepple reveals why she left city council STAFF REPORTER

A day after announcing her intention to run for a seat on Kamloops city council, former councillor Nancy Bepple has shed light on why she stepped down from council in March. “I was diagnosed with having bipolar syndrome and I needed to learn how to deal with that, just like somebody who has diabetes or somebody who has Crohn’s disease or any other health issue,� Bepple told KTW. At a press conference at Kamloops City Hall on Wednesday, Sept. 24, Bepple chose not to disclose to media what health issues led to her resignation — a move she said she made to keep the focus of the event on her plans to run and on her platform, which focuses on topics such

GLEN THOMPSON WANTS TO MAKE CITY HALL LESS COMPLICATED Glen Thompson wants a sat on council — and wants to be a voice for small business.

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Glen Thompson only moved to Kamloops this past summer, but that’s not stopping him from jumping directly into the political fray.

Thompson, who builds software for financial institutions, said he is seeking a seat on city council in the Nov. 15 election to address issues small businesses are facing in Kamloops. “I’ve spent my life as a community advocate and it looks like this community could use some help,� he said.

Among his complaints are what he sees as needlessly complicated permitting for small businesses at city hall and isolation of businesses and residents on the North Shore. “If you talk with small-business owners on the North Shore, they’re worried [the city] might close their main streets down again for months at a time and they won’t agree to do mainte-

nance in the evening — they won’t even talk about it,� he said, referencing a series of lighting and sidewalk upgrades in the Tranquille Market area last year that snarled traffic for most of the summer and fall. “They feel quite frustrated and sort of left out,� Thompson said, noting he wants to see the city form a small-business support committee, where Kamloops’ businesspeople could bring their concerns.

Those might concern the length of time it takes and the number of permits businesses

are required for routine activities, such as cleaning awnings, putting out sandwich boards or securing parking spaces downtown.

Thompson said when he bought a pass for a parking spot at the former Kamloops Daily News lot he was told he would have to renew the permit every month on the 15th. To him, it’s an example of how the city is failing small businesspeople. “As an IT guy, that just makes me cringe,� he said. You’re making people come back every month and do 12 transactions instead of one? “There’s 12 times I

have to wait in a line and waste a clerk’s time? “Thank God they don’t do property taxes that way.�

While most candidates for council make some mention of their many years or lifetimes in the Tournament Capital, Thompson said being a newcomer should not be a turnoff for voters.

He said several years spent living in similarly sized Chilliwack, where he helped found the environmental group Friends of the Chilliwack River Valley, introduced him to many of the issues Kamloops is facing. “I might be new, but I also bring new ideas,� he said.

Thompson brings this year’s crop of council candidates to 16.

Candidates can officially register for this year’s election on Tuesday, Sept. 30.

Candidates are crowd-sourcing

Whether it’s soliciting donations or platform ideas, city council candidates are embracing crowd-sourcing.

Incumbent Coun. Arjun Singh is running a survey on his website, yourkamloops.com, which he hopes will help shape his platform for the Nov. 15 municipal election.

Singh is hoping to get 1,000 responses from the community before Oct. 10 — the deadline to file nomination papers — and plans to release his platform on Oct. 15.

“Being on city council, there’s lots of things you just have a pulse on by virtue of being on council, but I think when people are asked questions and they think about things in more of a focused way, there are things that come out that are new — and are things you want to get a pulse on,” Singh said.

Several candidates have also embraced online donation platforms such as GoFundMe in order to raise donations from members of the community who may not attend fundraising events, but want to chip in a few bucks.

Labour council endorses five candidates Four council hopefuls and one schooltrustee candidate have received early nods from the Kamloops and District Labour Council.

The council, which represents about 10,000 unionized workers in the region, has so far not backed any of the incumbent councillors or school trustees running for re-election.

Instead, it is endorsing council challengers Dieter Dudy, Dustin McIntyre, Glen Thompson and Peter Kerek.

Kerek served as the labour council’s president before announcing his

candidacy for city hall.

The council is also throwing its weight behind trustee candidate Adam Jensen for his “strong willingness to advocate for public education and improved collaboration among public-education stakeholders.”

Labour council vice-president Barb Nederpel said the group chose to endorse candidates who “understand the concerns of working people.”

To secure the backing of the labour council, candidates answered a series of questions on issues such as transit, contracting and public-private partnerships,

and met with members of the labour council for in-person interviews.

In the past two elections, the Kamloops and District Labour Council has seen most of its endorsed candidates end up at the table at city hall.

In 2011, Coun. Donovan Cavers was the only council candidate to get the group’s endorsement.

In 2008, it backed four: Marg Spina, Nancy Bepple, Denis Walsh and Murphy Kennedy. All but Kennedy were elected.

The endorsement process will run until the Nov. 15 election.

O

riol Torres has always done his talking on the soccer pitch.

In fact, when he set foot in Canada for the first time in 2010, it was pretty much the only way he communicated.

The 25-year-old WolfPack soccer player didn’t speak a lick of English when he left his hometown of Barcelona, Spain, and landed in Vancouver four years ago.

“It was really tough at that moment,” Torres said, thinking

GRAND

back to his arrival in Canada.

“But, right now, as I said, I’ve been here for a long time, so I feel at home right now.”

Looking back on that day, Torres described himself as a “young man with no experience at all.”

RE-

He was 21 at the time, but had spent the three years following high school playing semi-professional soccer in Catalonia, Spain.

He didn’t know about doing household chores, he had never lived alone and he hadn’t yet gone to university.

There was little about the situation that was familiar to him.

“When I came, it was a big change for me,” the forward said.

“To adapt to a new life, I don’t know, I grew up really quick and I’m really proud of that, too.”

“He has matured a ton over the last three, four years,” said John Antulov, head coach of the Thompson Rivers University men’s soccer team. He was a part of the

team’s coaching staff when Torres first arrived in Kamloops.

“He has definitely become a leader,” Antulov said.

“He still jokes around and has a good time, but he knows when it’s time to bear down and get serious.

“I think that’s probably the biggest change in him — he was always kind of fun, having a good time, but he has gotten a little bit more mature and serious.”

Torres said soccer eased his transition into a new country and culture. He didn’t speak the language or know much about Canada, but none of that mattered when he was on the pitch.

“Soccer opened doors for me, for my studies,” he said.

“They gave me a good scholarship and a deduction from my international fees, which helped me a lot to get involved with the university.

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to because it’s way too expensive.

“It gave me a lot of friends from Canada and I was involved really quick in the Canadian culture. All my friends are Canadian now.”

Despite coming to Canada as what Antulov described as a happy, fun-loving guy, Torres had serious intentions.

He was looking for work and he wanted to get an education.

BEST DEALS ON SUV’S

Storm settled in the crease ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Storm have found a starting goalie.

It’s the guy who has been in their lineup all along.

Bailey De Palma, who has started four of the team’s first six regular season games, has been handed the starting job by head coach Ed Patterson.

“On the bright side, we had originally signed Bailey thinking he was going to be a backup,” Patterson told KTW. “But, he has played great so far. Right now, it’s his job to lose.”

In four games, De Palma is 2-2-0-0, with

a .865 save percentage and a 3.44 goals-against average.

“It feels really good.

It feels good that my hard work has paid off,” De Palma said.

“I’ll just keep going along, keep playing as good as I can and hopefully it stays [this way].”

Joining the 17-yearold De Palma is Jason Sandhu, who the Storm cut following training camp earlier this month.

Sandhu rejoined the team late last week before it went out on the road to face the Nelson Leafs and the Spokane Braves.

With Sandhu back in the fold, the Storm hope they can take ‘find a goalie’ off

their to-do list.

“Out of all the guys that have come and gone so far, Jason’s a nice kid, great personality,” Patterson said.

“We just challenge him to work harder on tracking the puck a bit better and his footwork.”

Storm general manager Barry Dewar admitted the team made a mistake not going with Sandhu as the team’s second

goalie out of camp.

At the time, the GM had his sights set on Jacob Krupp, who is now playing with the Peninsula Panthers of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League, for the team’s No. 1 role.

“Krupp didn’t work out,” Patterson said.

“He just didn’t think he needed to work on the things he had to in order to become an elite goalie for us.

Torres chasing goals, Canadian citizenship From page A15

All these years later, Torres is thankful he left Barcelona when he did.

He went back to Spain this summer and saw what life is like for his countrymen.

“Right now, it’s bad.

There is nothing,” he said.

“There’s no work. There’s nothing for young people to improve themselves.

“Most of my friends, they’re moving to England, they’re moving to Australia, they go to other countries just to do something

because, in Spain, the recession is bad. So, there’s actually nothing for studies or anything for work.”

Torres’ family still lives in Barcelona — his mother and father, an older sister, cousins, aunts and uncles — but he said his native country felt “different” during his visit.

He will always be able to visit Barcelona, but now hopes to make Canada his permanent home. He plans to begin the citizenship process in January.

Friday, Sept. 26 TRU @ UFV 5 p.m.

Abbotsford next season and will be a big piece of the puzzle as the team adjusts to life in the ranks of Canadian Interuniversity Sport.

Having lost another pair of games on the weekend to the University of British

Columbia and the University of Victoria, TRU needs Torres to step up when it hits the road this week to face the Fraser Valley Cascades in Abbotsford and Trinity Western Spartans in Langley.

In four matches, the team has yet to score a goal.

“He’s just that type of guy, you get the ball in his feet and you just let him go at guys because he has got that technical ability and speed.

He’s probably faster with the ball than he is without,” Antulov said.

“He was one of our goalscoring leaders last year, he scored a lot for us and now there’s even more pressure on him and more responsi-

bility to try and score goals for us.”

While Torres could probably talk about what has kept him out of the boxscore in the early part of the season, that’s not the forward’s style.

Instead, he’ll lace up his cleats, throw on his jersey and look to do his talking on the pitch.

Seeking victory TRU’s women are looking to get off the schneid this weekend, also in action on the road against UFV and TWU. The WolfPack women are 0-4 heading into today’s matchup against the Cascades.

Wheelchairs allowed on ice during public-skating sessions Public-skating programs are now open to participants in wheelchairs, the City of Kamloops announced earlier this month.

Prior to this skating season, wheelchairs were not allowed on ice by the city’s riskmanagement department.

Fall skating programs began on Monday, Sept. 22.

“It was fairly new to risk management,” said Nicole Beauregard, activeliving and sport-development co-ordinator.

“Basically, we had an opportunity to do some research across municipalities, within the province and across Canada, and we also put it to risk management to do risk management across Canada as far as wheelchairs on ice.

“Not too many places do it.”

Beauregard described it as a pilot project and said tweaks will be made

Tournament Capital Sports

BRIEFS along the way as needed.

She said allowing wheelchairs on ice during public skating is something that has been on the City’s radar for some time, but there were also public requests for the change.

Sandhu said he has no hard feelings about being cut by the Storm, saying a team has to do what it has to do.

He’s happy to be back in the Tournament Capital and is looking forward to proving he belongs.

“It’s a great organization, great team, great coaching. It’s fun to be a part of, to learn a lot,” the 18-year-old said.

“It’s a privilege to play on the team.”

Uncertainty in goal isn’t new for the Storm — Kamloops used seven different ‘tenders throughout the 20132014 season, a situation it’s hoping to avoid this year.

De Palma has gone about his business throughout the process, focusing on himself and his play.

“It hasn’t affected me at all. [I] Just keep playing,” he said.

“No matter who’s

there, support them.

“But, obviously, just push yourself to be the best every day because, at the end of the day, you want to start as many games as you can.”

He wanted to be named the team’s starter, despite being told from the beginning he was coming in as the No. 2.

“I’ve got a lot of confidence in myself and I thought coming in, for sure,” he said.

“I believe in my abilities and I knew if I played well I could get lots of starts.”

De Palma and Sandhu split action last weekend, with De Palma playing to a 5-4 overtime victory against Nelson and Sandhu picking up a 4-3 overtime victory in Spokane.

The workload will be split similarly this weekend, with De Palma getting the nod against the Revelstoke Grizzlies tonight (Sept.

Both games will get underway at 7 p.m. at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre.

From the notebook After being released by the Kamloops Blazers earlier this week, Mitch Friesen skated with the Storm before weekend action.

The 18-year-old forward hasn’t yet made a

decision on where he will play out his season.

Defenceman Alex Stoley, who was listed on the Storm’s roster but never suited up for Kamloops, will be sticking with the Prince George Spruce Kings of the B.C. Hockey League.

Stoley made the Storm, but the team knew there was a possibility he would not return from the junior A squad in PG.

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD

W

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.

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.

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

VELMA JANE DALE August 13, 1938 – September 19, 2014

ALBERT MADRYGA October 6, 1925 – September 21, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Albert Madryga on Sept. 21, after a short battle with cancer.

Albert will be greatly missed by Marcia, his loving wife of 58 years, his children Mark, Roxanne (David), Rod (Sue), grandchildren Rodney, Rebecca, Matthew and Tessa, great-grandson Carson and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his first wife Effie and his stepson Barry Henshall.

Albert was born in Edmonton and moved at age two to Vancouver with his parents Mary and John and his six siblings Jack, Lillian, Nell, Bill, Marie and Mike. His sisters always fondly looked after their “baby brother” and remained a very important part of his life.

He attended Beaconsfield Elementary School and graduated from Vancouver Technical School, Class of 1943. He was trained in the Provincial Normal School and later graduated from the Faculty of Education at U.B.C. After service in the Canadian Armed Forces in World War 2, Albert began his 39 year teaching career. He taught in Cloverdale, Quadra Island, Britannia Beach, Midway, Tahsis, Forest Grove, Monte Lake and several schools in Kamloops where he was both a Teacher and Principal from 1957 to 1985.

He is remembered as a dynamic instructor and a firm disciplinarian who had high expectations and tireless encouragement for his students. He enthusiastically directed and participated in musical performances especially at Christmas. Over the years Albert enjoyed hearing from former students, reconnecting with teaching colleagues and visiting with friends from his childhood.

The family wishes to thank the staff at the Kidney Care Centre, the Jim Pattison Pavilion at VGH, and Peace Arch Hospital for their thoughtful care.

All family and friends are cordially invited to a Remembrance Tea on Sunday, October 5 at 1 pm at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28th Avenue in South Surrey.

Flowers are respectfully declined.

of her children and her grandchildren, and of the way her extended family continued to include everyone who had once been part of it. She believed that your voice sounds better when you smile, that when one door closes another opens, and that you should always treat others the way you want to be treated yourself.

She believed if you wanted something badly enough and worked hard enough, you would get it – and proved this in the determined way she attacked and conquered cancer in 2013.

Velma was born in Vancouver and grew up in Monte Lake.

The eldest of five, she learned early how to run a home and prepare the big family meals that were her trademark. After graduating from Kam High in 1956, she attended business college in Victoria. While she never lost her love for the Island, she returned to Kamloops in 1957 and made it her home.

With her understated grace and style, Velma Jane (Thompson, Smith) Dale passed away on September 19, 2014. There were no multiple goodbyes, I love yous, or I’ll call when I get theres; after a full month of enjoying visits with friends and family, she slipped quietly away with her family at her side.

The ultimate hostess, Velma will be remembered for the pleasure she took in welcoming people into her home.

Friends, family and acquaintances alike knew that no matter what time of day or night they knocked at her door, they would be greeted with a smile and a hug, ushered in, and fed. “Now, can I get you anything?” may have been her six most-used words.

Velma loved her family, her friends, and her home – usually in that order. She loved entertaining and she lived to dance.

Sunday nights at Kamloops’ dance halls kept her on her toes until illness forced her from the floor in 2013 – but nothing could stop her from donning her dancing shoes one last time at her son Sean’s wedding in June. She loved Elvis, Kris Kristofferson and Anne Murray, and hearing Dick play his guitar at family gatherings. She was enormously proud

Velma was predeceased by her husband Bruce in 1991 and her brother Stewart in 1997. She is survived by her sisters Mary, Maureen and Stephanie; her children Kevin (Charlene), Gayle (Joe), Daryl (Raff) and Sean (Val); grandchildren Cassie, Breanna, Brendan, Shannan, Madeleine, Jared, Tyson, Kendall and Ryan; step-daughter Kerry; and longtime companion Buckley.

Velma, Val, Mom, Damma, Gramma, Grandma Buckee, we will miss your beautiful smile, your laugh, and your generosity and thoughtfulness; the bottomless pot of coffee, bottles of wine, and cookie jar; your Sunday dinners; and the array of snacks that magically appeared whenever we arrived. We will never forget your no-butter buttertarts and that you can indeed spell backwards in Scrabble. Most of all we will remember the way you made each one of us feel important and welcome and loved.

Goodbye, we love you, take care, see you soon, goodbye, goodbye.

Velma’s life will be celebrated at 10:00 am on Friday, September 26 at the Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive. Donations to the Kamloops Hospice House in lieu of flowers would be appreciated. Special thanks to Viktor Gundel, the angels on 4 North, and the nurses, aides and volunteers at Hospice House.

GEORGE WILLIAM FORSYTHE

ROBERT E. HAUGHTON

September 3, 1929 - September 18, 2014

1945-2014

George passed away peacefully, with his wife and step-son at his side. He will be greatly missed by his family; wife Cathy, his daughter Robin (Jim) Mathis of Prince George, his son Mark (Wendy) of Quesnel and step-son Jason O’Brien of Vancouver.

Also, four grandchildren; Trevor (Allie) Mathis, Kaitlin Mathis, Miranda Forsythe and Geordy Forsythe. Many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends mourn his passing.

George was predeceased by his second child, Lucinda Jane in 1958 and by his first wife Lola in 1998.

Having been born in Nanaimo, he had a great love for the water. He was a lifeguard for the local pool and also built himself a small boat.

Shortly after completing high-school, he started work with BC Telephone. It was here that he met Lola, a telephone operator, and they married. He was proud that he worked with BC Tel. from the ground up. He started by hand digging holes to install the poles and worked his way up to management. His job took him from Nanaimo to Squamish, Vanderhoof, Prince George, Quesnel and finally Kamloops where he retired after 38 years. “A real telephone man.”

Hockey was his lifelong passion. After playing Junior Hockey, he enjoyed coaching, refereeing and putting on referee schools. When the game became too fast, he encouraged Cathy to help him teach preschool skate for a few years. He hung up his skates but a cherished event was when his two grandsons took him to a Blazer game.

George was proud to be a Mason for 56 years, until his death. Other interests that filled his life were Telephone Pioneers, Lions Clubs and fishing. Fishing for trout and camping kept him active until 2 years ago.

He loved to tie the perfect fly.

A celebration of life will be held on: Saturday, October 4, 2014 at 2 :30 pm at Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive, Kamloops.

Interment at a later date.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and brother — Robert (Bob) Ernest Haughton.

I’M GLAD I TOUCHED SHOULDERS WITH YOU

There’s a comforting thought at the close of the day When I’m weary and lonely and sad That sort of grips hold of this crusty old heart And bids it be merry and glad.

It gets in my soul, and it drives out the blues, And finally thrills through and through.

It’s just a sweet memory that chants the refrain, “I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.”

Did you know you were brave, Did you know you were strong, Did you know there was one leaning hard, Did you know that I listened and waited and prayed And was cheered by your simplest word?

Did you know that I longed for that smile on your face, For the sound of your voice ringing true, Did you know I grew stronger and better because I had merely touched shoulders with you?

I am glad that I live; that I battle and strive For a place that I know I must fill; I’m thankful for sorrows I’ll meet with a grin What fortune may send good or ill; I may not have wealth, I may not be great but I know I shall always be true, For I have in my life that courage you gave, When once I touched shoulders with you.

The mellow notes float down to me from a thicket of eucalyptus trees but, although I crane my neck to peer through the branches, I can’t track down the songsters. They are Australian bellbirds that I’m told are very hard to spot, so I’m content to merely listen, fascinated.

Like the bellbirds, many of Australia’s feathered inhabitants are unique.

There’s the iconic kookaburra whose maniacal laughter lies on the morning air,

the shoals of Major Mitchell cockatoos flying across the twilight sky with harsh screeches, and the cluster of greedy lorikeets that crowd my balcony railings, looking for breadcrumbs. Cheeky and curious, they look as though they have been dipped in paint cans, their heads bright blue, and feathers scarlet, green and yellow.

I have other visitors, too: Pink and grey galahs that survey me, heads cocked to one side, and a host of other birds that provide a morning wake up chorus of trills, coos, crooning riffs, whistles and flute-like calls.

A shady boardwalk lined by spotted gums and feathery-leafed eucalyptus trees (where I pause to listen to those bellbirds) runs along Wagonga Inlet.

On a drive further along the Inlet’s bar, Australia Rock is a natural formation that resembles the continent’s shape. A great subject for my camera.

We explore neighbouring towns, leisurely driving past colonial

brick bungalows with tiled roofs, deep verandahs and balconies embellished with lacy wrought-iron fretwork.

Crepe myrtle trees are in extravagant bloom — purple, orange, pink and white — and purple fronded jacarandas droop over sidewalks.

At sheltered groves off the main highway, we stop for picnic lunches, washed down with swigs of wine and indulge in impromptu renditions of Waltzing Matilda.

Iraqi PM says ISIL wants to bomb subways in U.S. ZEINA KARIM

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Iraq’s prime minister says captive Islamic State militants told his intelligence agents of an alleged plot to attack subways in the United States and Paris.

A senior U.S. administration official said no one in the government is aware of such a plot, adding the claim was never brought up in meetings with Iraqi officials this week in New York. President Barack Obama met with al-Abadi on Wednesday, Sept. 24.

The administration official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.

There was no immediate comment from France. A halfdozen French officials contacted

by The Associated Press said they knew of no plot.

Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi said he was told of the purported plot by officials in Baghdad and that it was the work of foreign fighters who had joined the Islamic State group in Iraqi, including

Terror group also plotted to bomb underground in Paris

French and U.S. nationals.

Asked if the attacks were imminent, he said, “I’m not sure.’’ Asked if the attacks had been thwarted, he said, “No, it has not been disrupted yet. . . .

This is a network.’’

The Associated Press initially reported in error al-Abadi said the attack was imminent.

However, a review of his remarks established he said, “I’m not sure.’’

“Today, while I’m here I’m receiving accurate reports from Baghdad that there were arrests of a few elements and there were networks from inside Iraq to have attacks . . . on metros of Paris and U.S.,’’ al-Abadi said, speaking in English.

“They are not Iraqis. Some of them are French, some of them are Americans. But they are in Iraq.’’

He made the remarks at a meeting with journalists on the sidelines of a gathering of world leaders at the United Nations

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, It’s about learning to dance in the rain.”

Love you forever, Your family

General Assembly.

The Iraqi leader told journalists Thursday the plot was the work of foreign fighters of the Islamic State group in Iraq.

Al-Abadi declined to give the location in the U.S. where the such an attack might occur.

The Islamic State extremists’ blitz in Iraq and Syria prompted the United State to launch airstrikes in Iraq last month, to aid Kurdish forces who were battling the militants and to protect religious minorities.

In addition to the brutality Islamic State has visited on the people in Iraq and Syria, western leaders have voiced concern that the group would move its terror operations outside the region.

This week, the U.S. and five allied Arab states expanded the aerial campaign into Syria, where the militant group is battling President Bashar Assad’s forces as well as Western-backed rebels.

The Time Is Now (Author Unknown)

If you are ever going to love me, Love me now, while I can know The sweet and tender feelings Which from true affection flow.

Love me now While I am living.

Do not wait until I’m gone And then have it chiseled in marble, Sweet words on ice-cold stone.

If you have tender thoughts of me, Please tell me now.

If you wait until I am sleeping, Never to awaken, There will be death between us, And I won’t hear you then.

So, if you love me, even a little bit, Let me know it while I am living So I can treasure it.

Language gone cray cray — it’s amazeballs

I

thought Christopher Foulds was either going to fire me or throw the large Canadian Oxford Dictionary at my head.

He looked at me from his desk and asked what I had just said, no doubt hoping he had heard me wrong.

“Cray cray,” I said as I repeated the modern vernacular, short for “crazy.”

As soon as the words left my mouth for the second time in my edi-

tor’s office, I knew full well what I had done to the man who has an exact and perfect word I’ve never heard for every situation imagJESSICA inable.

WALLACE He cringed Generation in a way that meant I had GAP somehow let him down. finding a good word.

Instead, it made me The spelling, the laugh. sound, the meaning.

Don’t get me wrong.

I’m with Foulds I appreciate the certain when it comes to the science involved in satisfaction of getting a

word wo just right — one that tha fits so well — and to know there is no better way of describing something. som It feels like — mmm — I’ll have to get back to you on that word.

But, while I understand sta the rules, I know language also comes l down to much more than syllables defined in a dictionary.

Language is cultural, evolving — even trendy.

It is a sign of the times.

Remember the last time you heard somebody refer to those

cushions under your butt as a chesterfield?

Didn’t think so.

Other words have lost their value entirely.

I don’t think I’ve ever uttered the word “douchebag” intending its, well, literal meaning — so, everybody, settle down.

Abbreviated words and spellings are totes in these days and I can see why — who has time to spare two letters?

If you save, on average, a couple of letters from each word in every sentence each

day, u’d sve presh time.

So, don’t be a h8er.

And, it’s not just me.

The people behind the Oxford Dictionary get it.

This year, they added new words like “amazeballs” and “YOLO” to their word bank.

To that, I say: “YOLO OD, you’re amazeballs.”

At this point, you might be thinking we’re all just getting stupider.

But, nope — think again.

Take, for example, the word “basic.”

It seems pretty simple. After all, it is the word’s definition.

Today, however, “basic” has developed an entirely new — more complicated — connotation.

Urban Dictionary’s definition encompasses it well: “An adjective used to describe any person, place, activity involving obscenely obvious behaviour, dress, action.”

Drink pumpkinspiced lattes in the fall?

That makes you basic.

You love brunch and Instagramming about it? Basic.

Worn a headband to a music festival? That is

the definition of a basic bitch.

Just Google “How Basic Are You Buzzfeed” to find more of those examples and to realize there is no basic way of thinking about the word after all.

I appreciate the increasingly casual slang.

Why the need to be so formal?

Let’s even take it up a notch.

In your next resume, why not replace the “Professional Experience” header with “ICYMI.” You now have a good answer for that tough interview question about your weaknesses — simply reveal that you’re a hot mess on Saturdays.

Twitter says it all, anyway.

Weird Al Yankovic may have said it best for Foulds in his recent viral video, a spoof on Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines: “I hate these word crimes.”

I’m sure to have cray cray edited from my future prose but, ICYMI, I’m still here today.

Amazeballs.

Big Wreck is performing at Cactus Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Night Club on Tuesday, Sept. 30.

CJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting wrecked DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

I

an Thornley learned at an early age music has a power over him.

There was something about it, about the chords, the words, the way the two would combine and become something he could manipulate, change and polish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what the formula is,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, I keep searching for it.â&#x20AC;?

Despite that quest, the Toronto-born musician has found success first as a student at the renowned Berklee College of Music, then with the band Big Wreck that grew out of friendships made at the Boston college, later with his self-titled band Thornley and now, back with Big Wreck again.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that incarnation of his musical self that is coming to Kamloops for a show on

Tuesday, Sept. 30 at Cactus Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Night Club, 130 Fifth Ave. Also on the bill are Royal Tusk and Summer Sky. Thornley said the music he listened to as a child ranged from the melodies his mother loved â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bruce Cockburn, the usual suspectsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rock collection â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of the Beatles, Supertramp and Springsteen. My dad was a huge Springsteen fan.â&#x20AC;?

One day, his dad brought home a 12-inch vinyl of Tom Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way Baby and it simply touched Thornley in a way that found him returning to the song again and again. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the song is on the latest Big Wreck recording, the 70-minute, 13-track Ghosts, the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth studio album.

When it was released on April 8, it debuted halfway up the Top 10 on the Canadian Albums chart and did better on a Billboard chart, hitting No. 4 immediately.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;That song still resonates with me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted to do it.â&#x20AC;?

As for his own musical tastes these days, Thornley said he still listens to a lot of the old stuff and not much modern rock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Except LP [singer-songwriter Laura Pergolizzi]. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m obsessed with her voice, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mystery to me. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful songwriter,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Touring isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a problem, Thornley said; in fact, he enjoys it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the studio but there are certain aspects of it that can get old. But I love being on the road, in our own little bubble â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but in a good way â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seeing different environments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a quiet summer. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not big on a lot of downtime.â&#x20AC;?

Tickets for the show are $32.50 or $39.50 for a premium ticket that includes early admission. Tickets are on sale at BigWreckCJs.eventbrite.ca.

Delay dementiaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;could hearing aids be the answer?

Seniors who have untreated hearing loss may be at an increased risk for developing dementia, a loss of brain function that can affect memory, thinking, ODQJXDJH MXGJPHQW DQG EHKDYLRU 7KLV LV WKH ÂżQGLQJ of a study conducted by researchers from the Division of Otology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

The study included 639 people whose hearing and

How might hearing loss and dementia be connected?

Investigators arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure, but they think a common pathology may underlie both conditions, or possibly

the strain of decoding sounds over the years may overwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss, leaving them more vulnerable to dementia.

ENTERTAINMENT Nicola Lipman and Walter Borden are the driving forces behind a play coming to Sagebrush theatre in October.

BEST DEALS ON NEW rivercitynissan.com

Driving Daisy to Sagebrush Daisy Werthan is a cranky 72-year-old Jewish woman living in Atlanta in 1948.

She thinks she can still drive her own car — but she can’t and her son Boolie knows this.

So he hires 60-yearold Hoke Colburn to be her driver.

Earlier this year, the 1,000 Islands Playhouse in Gananoque, Ont., staged the play that tells the tale of Driving Miss Daisy, the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Alfred Uhry.

Born in Atlanta himself and well-versed in the mores, attitudes and bigotry that was commonplace in the 25-year timespan of the play — a time when the law enforced segrega-

tion throughout the U.S. — Uhry created a story about two unique individuals, each coping with their own beliefs, who gradually become friends.

The Ontario production is coming to Kamloops as part of a partnership with Western Canada Theatre, complete with cast members Nicola Lipman as Daisy, Walter Borden as Hoke and Brian Linds as Boolie. Director Ashlie Corcoran also helmed the WCT presentation of the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee in 2012.

The play opens on Oct. 9 and continues to Oct. 18 at Sagebrush Theatre.

Show times are 7:30 on Mondays and Tuesdays, 8 p.m. on Wednesdays through Saturdays with a 2 p.m. matinee on Oct. 18.

Tickets are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., by calling 250-3745483 or by going online to kamloopslive.ca.

hen Sarah McLachlan tours now, she brings along her living room â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and converts concert stages into something as close to home as she can.

She invites concert-goers to come up on stage, sit down with her and have a chat, pose for some photographs, all to try and involve the audience and make them feel pretty much like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sharing the time with a neighbour.

When KTW got a chance to interview McLachlan about her Oct. 23 show here, it made sense to follow her lead and ask some of our readers for questions they would pose if they had the chance. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask them all but picked some that elicited some interesting answers.

Does she miss living in Nova Scotia? Not really. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I miss some people,â&#x20AC;? McLachlan said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I left when I was 18 and landed in Vancouver.â&#x20AC;?

She said she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see many opportunities there for her to excel in music, which prompted her to look elsewhere.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love Vancouver the same way as Nova Scotia,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What drew me here are the people. And I still live right by the ocean.â&#x20AC;?

That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the Maritimes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any pull on her, though. She said the last time she went back, â&#x20AC;&#x153;there was this incredible nostalgia. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to take my kids on a road trip there.â&#x20AC;?

Does she still do yoga? Yes, but she had to take a break from it in the summer.

McLachlan said she injured her leg earlier in the year â&#x20AC;&#x153;so I was off the wain on it. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting back into it now.â&#x20AC;?

She said she believes in yoga not only for her physical well-being â&#x20AC;&#x153;but because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better for my head.â&#x20AC;?

Is there any not-so-obvious advice she would share with young aspiring Canadian artists? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Find a really good lawyer and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give him five per cent of your earnings,â&#x20AC;? she said with a laugh.

In a more-serious vein, however, McLachlan said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential to find like-minded people who can help you.

For her, that included Pierre Marchand, producer of five McLachlan albums â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Solace, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, The Freedom Sessions, Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff and Surfacing.

FRIDAY, September 26, 2014

ENTERTAINMENT Sarah McLachlanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shine On tour comes to Interior Savings Centre on Thursday, Oct. 23.

Marchandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name came up in the answer to the next question â&#x20AC;&#x201D; how old was she when she realized she sings better than anyone?

At first, McLachlan demurred, saying the question was â&#x20AC;&#x153;very sweet but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer that because I still think I need to do better.â&#x20AC;?

However, she praised Marchand for pushing her to sing in a lower register and stop being so strongly influenced by other singers she would listen to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know my voice is a gift,â&#x20AC;? McLachlan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could always sing. What he showed me is the most natural place to sing is in my own voice.â&#x20AC;?

Is she still heavily involved in promoting

throughout North America.

McLachlan said on of the WHO: Sarah McLachlan goals of the WHEN: Thursday, Oct. 23, festival was to 6:30 p.m. always include WHERE: Interior Savings Centre local talented TICKETS: Range in prices from performers at $50 to $76 plus service charges each commuand are available at the venue, nity where the 300 Lorne St., or online at festival stopped. ticketmaster.ca.

music and vide production, DJing, beatboxing and electronic music.

McLachlanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thrilled that, this year, she has four graduates of the program who are now returning to teach at the school.

One of the reader questions was long and led to some thinking.

The reader wanted to know if McLachlan feels lucky to have grown up with positive, idealistic and forward-looking music, compared to the negative music of the last 10 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, I grew up with the Beatles and Black Sabbath and INXS,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but there was also Simon and Garfunkel and Cat Stevens.â&#x20AC;?

Expanding on her answer. McLachlan said the way people consume music is possibly the biggest change â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after all, the bands she listened to are still listened to today.

The only time she listens to Top 40-type music is in the car when her two daughters insist on having the radio on, she said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but, she also ensures they listen to singers like Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell and Whitehorse.

What or who is her muse?

For McLachlan, she draws inspiration from her life, her surroundings, any life experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If something triggers a strong emotion

in me and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no easy way to resolve it, that can become music.â&#x20AC;?

And, a final question: Who does she listen to these days? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I almost never listen to music,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much of it going on in my head all the time. I love silence. I love hearing water pouring over rocks.â&#x20AC;?

After giving it some thought, McLachlan said there was one recording she listened to this year that resonated with her â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one that is almost 30 years old, Thursday Afternoon by Brian Eno. For those unfamiliar, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one 60-minute composition Eno created that has been called by some the perfect ambient recording.

McLachlanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour comes to Interior Savings Centre on Thursday, Oct. 23.

Meet Audibel Trained Hearing Aid Expert DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Q: Why do you hear a highpitched sound when you clap in the labyrinth at Riverside Park?

A: Shawn Cook, parks operations supervisor for the City of Kamloops, said the phenomenon was a happy accident. He said the labyrinth was built in the grass between Riverside and Pioneer parks about 15 years ago as a place for people to reflect.

The single-path structures can be found around the world in various forms.

The one in the park was built in a circular shape out of brick.

This one is different, however. Visitors who stand directly in the middle of the circle and clap experience a squeaky-type noise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t purposefully design it like that,â&#x20AC;?

Cook said.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drawn speculation from TRU as to why, he said.

One theory was pitch reflection. The sound waves bounce and reflect back at the person standing only in the exact right position â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the middle of the circle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you clap, the sound goes out and hits the

furthest ring and comes back, or echoes,â&#x20AC;? hoes,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drawn a different crowd than initially intended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People stop and they reflect, but they also stand in the middle and clap,â&#x20AC;? Cook said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The noise part of it was kind of the cool part.â&#x20AC;?

If ISIS not Islamic, Inquisition wasn’t Catholic

As ISIS slaughters its way though Syria and Iraq, it became inevitable that we’d hear from apologists who claim ISIS is not in fact “true Islam,” and its depredations are due to something other than religious motivation.

Those motivations, say the apologists, are political — usually Western colonialism — cultural (societal tradition), or anything other than religion.

These apologists, of course, which now include President Barack Obama and TRU faculty member Derek Cook, are motivated by a desire to avoid criticizing religion at all costs — especially Islam. Criticizing religion is political suicide and Obama wants to do all he can to encourage “moderate” Muslims.

This is what Obama said when explaining his plan to dismantle ISIS. “Now, let’s make two things clear: ISIL is not Islamic. No religion condones the killing of innocents and the vast majority of ISIL’s victims have been Muslim.

And here’s what he said in response to the beheading of journalist James Foley: “ISIL speaks for no religion . . . and no faith teaches people to massacre innocents. No just God would stand for what they did yesterday and what they do every single day.”

Well, the beheading did happen, meaning God is not just or there is no God — a possibility Obama clearly can’t mention.

If ISIS is not Islamic, then the Inquisition was not Catholic.

The fact is there are no defensible criteria for whether a faith is “true,” since all faiths are man-made and accrete doctrine — said to come from God but itself man-made — that becomes integral to those faiths.

Whatever “true faith” means, it doesn’t mean “the right religion: The one whose God exists and whose doctrines are correct.”

If that were so, we wouldn’t see Westerners trying to tell us what “true Islam” is.

No, if “true” means

JERRY COYNE

Rational

THOUGHTS anything, it must mean “true to some principles.”

As far as I can see, there are only two such principles: True to scripture or true to some code of conduct that the writer approves.

But, these definitions often contradict each other, so no “true” religion can be specified.

First, the truest religion could be that which sticks the closest to scripture.

In that case the “truest” Christianity and Judaism would be literalist and fundamentalist.

They would adhere to the creationism set out in Genesis, as well as to the immoral behaviors sanctioned by God in the Old Testament.

These include killing those children who curse their parents, as well as adulterers and those who work on the Sabbath.

Although these are clear moral dictates of God, no modern Christians or Jews obey them, for the rules are reprehensible.

Nevertheless, there is a case to be made that a fundamentalist Southern Baptist is a “truer Christian” than a liberal Unitarian, and a misogynist Orthodox Jew a truer believer than a modern reform Jew. You can cherry-pick the Qur’an as easily as you can the Bible, for

both are filled with calls for violence and genocide that distress us.

While some quote one conciliatory verse from the Qur’an, there are a far greater number of verses calling for violence, characterizing Jews as “apes and swine,” dictating the killing of infidels and apostates, and dooming nonbelievers to hell.

Why shouldn’t adherents to those views be considered “true” Muslims?

Actually, what people like Obama and Cook consider “true” faith is this: “Faith that promotes the kind of behavior that I like.”

So, as do all believers, the apologists pick and choose from scripture that dictates what they find congenial, ignoring the bad ones.

Many beliefs of some Muslim sects — like female genital mutilation and devaluating a woman’s testimony in court (according to sharia law, it’s worth only half of a man’s) — are not explicitly given in the Qur’an, the word of Allah supposedly dictated to Muhammad.

They have become associated with Islam through the hadith and the sunnah, or through simple tradition.

ISIS has an extreme and fundamentalist interpretation of Muslim doctrine.

But, in exactly the same way, dogma about the immorality of abortion, homosexuality, premarital sex and divorce have become part of Catholicism.

They are theological interpretations of scripture that appeal to some people’s sense of morality.

Others disagree.

Whose faith is “truer”?

In the end, there is

BEST DEALS ON NEW rivercitynissan.com

no “true” religion in the factual sense, for there is no good evidence supporting their claims to truth.

Nor are there “true” religions in the moral sense.

Every faith justifies itself and its practices by appeal to authority, revelation and dogma.

There are some religions we like better than others because of their practical consequences.

If that’s what we mean by “true,” we should just admit it.

There’s no shame in that, for it’s certainly the case that societies based on some religions are more dysfunction-

al than others.

Morality itself is neither objectively true nor false, but at bottom rests on subjective preferences: The “oughts” that come from what we see as the consequences of behaving one way versus another.

By all means let us say ISIS is a strain of

Islam that is barbaric and dysfunctional, but let us not hear any nonsense that it’s a “false religion.”

ISIS, like all religious movements, is based on faith; and faith, which is belief in the absence of convincing evidence, isn’t true or false, but simply irrational.

COMMUNITY Kamloops was pretty in pink last weekend as the sun set over the hills of Aberdeen on Saturday, Sept. 20.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

FRIDAY 6-9PM SATURDAY 9AM-5PM SUNDAY 10AM-3PM

1984 marked the 50th Anniversary of the Lower North Thompson 4-H Club. The club was formed in 1934 under the leadership of Tom Wilson, It was formed to fill a need to have three Beef clubs in the Interior, so that beef members could enter in the Na onal Judging Compe on at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. Bill Belcham and Charlie Frolek were the first members to represent the club in Toronto in 1934. In 1944, Budd Gesner and Bernard Donchi had the honor of taking top placing in Canada, the only BC Beef Judging team to ever achieve this award during the fourteen years of this compe on.

The club had various leaders over the years; Tom Wilson was leader for seven years, as was Harry Leavi . In the 1980`s Ralph Devick, Barry Brady, Art Devick, Harvey Bently, Harry Urchit and Bess Kelly took the reins. In 2012 the club resumed opera ons a er a period of dormancy. The club oďŹ&#x20AC;ers 4-H projects in Beef, Sheep and Cloverbud divisions. It draws its current members from the Westsyde area of Kamloops, but historically the members lived on both sides of the North Thompson River from McLure, Louis Creek, Vinsulla and Rayleigh. The members really appreciate the Westsyde Community`s support & Thank you to all the buyers!

Hope to see you at the fair!

Answers

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

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