SCARF ISSUE COMES TO A HEAD AT LLOYD GEORGE Eight-year-old Jaime Mitchell is fond of wearing headscarves to school, but the Lloyd George elementary dress code prohibits such attire, according to principal Alain Blais.

Jaime’s mom, Erin Mitchell, believes her daughter has a right to wear the headscarves to class as a way of expressing herself.

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Jaime Mitchell likes to wear floral headscarves.

They’re pretty and they serve a practical purpose — keeping her bangs out of her eyes.

Her school, however, has told her if she keeps coming to her Grade 3 class wearing a scarf, “she will no longer be welcome,� her mother, Erin, said.

The eight-year-old said she’s worn hairbands in the past to deal with her long hair, but finds the scarves work better. “I kinda like to wear them,� she said.

Alain Blais, principal at Lloyd George elementary, where Jamie has attended since kindergarten has told the family the scarves violate the school’s dress code.

Blais acknowledged he had told Mitchell her daughter would be allowed to wear a scarf for religious reasons, referring her to the School District 73 policy that states schools, when developing codes or policies, must address “the wearing of hats, hoodies or other headwear, other than for religious reasons.�

The principal, new to the school after moving from Grande PraIrie, Alta., said his position comes from his belief rules are rules, that it is respectful to remove hats or headwear when entering a building and that the policy avoids a double standard. “I don’t like that we have to go 50 [km/h] in town, but that’s the rule,� Blais said. “At some point, there’s no point arguing. I don’t understand the purpose of not following the rules.�

Blais said the restriction is needed to deal with students who wear tuques or hoodies, zipped up “so they hide their faces and the teacher can’t see if the students are learning. “I feel one of the things we are doing is preparing students to be in a workforce and you don’t wear headgear in the workforce,� he said, noting the policy is also

designed to address the wearing of “gang colours.�

Mitchell — who, as a Catholicschool teen, rebelled at having to wear a scarf in church — said her daughter wore scarves while in pre-school in Vancouver so her Muslim friend, who also wore one, wouldn’t feel out of place.

Mitchell said the issue began with an email from Jaime’s teacher, asking if there was a cultural reason for her headwear choice. “I said no, that she likes it, thinks it’s pretty and it keeps her bangs out of her face,� she said.

Blais, however, said he emailed principals at elementary schools in the city and, of those who replied, all agreed with his interpretation of the dress code.

Kamloops-Thompson school district assistant superintendent John Churchley said all schools are required to have a dress code and must include provisions that respect the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as it relates to religious headgear.

Blais said all school policies will be reviewed in the coming year with input from the parentadvisory council — and of this issue? Send your thoughts to he has told Mitchell editor@kamloopsthisweek.com she is welcome to join the committee. “Then we got a message that it “It will be whatever is equivalent to wearing a hat and the staff and parents want,� Blais she was being asked to remove it.� said. “It’s their school.

Topping Trees is a ‘Growing Problem’ STOP TOPPING TREES

RESULTS OF TOPPING

The tree retaliates by producing an unruly crop of weakly-attached watersprouts, prone to disease and breakage.

Disease enters via the stub ends, making the tree a short-lived and potentially dangerous one.

The tree ends up looking even bulkier than before; it soon needs re-pruning.

1. Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches.

2. Remove suckers and watersprouts.

3. Remove badly placed branches: • Crossing or rubbing each other • Growing into centre of tree • Growing into walkways, roadways, or buildings 4. If desired, trim slender branch tips a few inches, to a bud or a parent branch.

Stub ends are a sign of poor pruning.

This kind of pruning destroys the health & beauty of the tree.

Prune It Right! Four easy steps:

Prune It Right! Here’s how: Make mostly thinning cuts (removal of branches right back to the parent branch or trunk).

Avoid creating stub ends.

Make your cuts just outside the branch collar (a slight thickening where the branch joins its parent branch or trunk). Flush cuts destroy the tree’s defense zone.

Remember: remove no more than 20% of the green.

Now stand back and admire the great pruning job. Your tree will look airy and graceful, and your pruning job will stay done much longer than stub-end pruning. Trees add beauty and value to your home. Protect your investment with proper pruning. Attend our workshop: #230540 Pruning Fruit Trees, Ornamentals, and Shrubs on October 22, 2014. To register call 250-828-3500.

A Lack of Clarity Could Cost You Whether you are the owner of a home or building, a contractor, a tradesperson or a material supplier, builders liens can be a complicated and confusing area of law. However, when used properly, builders liens can be highly effective mechanisms for resolving disputes or making sure that you get paid. Unfortunately, an incomplete understanding of builders liens can result in the loss of liens or unnecessary litigation.

Surveillance video shows officers watching the sex act via closed-circuit TV.

Acquittal in cell-sex trial TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Crown is reviewing a decision handed down by a B.C. Supreme Court judge on Thursday, Oct. 9, that cleared a senior Kamloops Mountie of any wrongdoing in the now-infamous sex-incells case.

Cpl. Rick Brown was found not guilty of breach of trust by a public officer for his role as watch commander — the de facto head of the Kamloops RCMP detachment — in the early-morning hours of Aug. 18, 2010, when a number of male RCMP officers and jail guards watched via closedcircuit television as two drunk prisoners engaged in hardcore sex acts in a jail cell.

In a 23-page written decision, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Selwyn Romilly ruled Brown was not out of line in watching the women have sex and that prisoners ought to have no expectation of privacy while behind bars.

Romilly also noted there was no policy in place at the Kamloops detachment in how to deal with such a situation.

“The Crown is reviewing that decision before we decide whether to take further steps,” Crown spokesman Gordon Comer said.

“Crown will review the entire trial process and all the steps that were taken.”

The Crown has 30 days to file an appeal.

Romilly, who called the case “one of the most bizarre” he’d seen in his time as a judge, expressed skepticism even before the trial began last month.

At a pre-trial hearing in August, the judge requested a special hearing at which the Crown would have to prove to him why the trial should proceed.

That hearing never took place and the trial proceeded, but Romilly continually interrupted and questioned Crown prosecutor Winston Sayson during his closing submissions on Sept.

24.

On Aug. 18, 2010, two intoxicated women were placed in the same holding cell at the Kamloops RCMP’s Battle Street detachment. They began engaging in explicit consensual sex acts.

Brown, alongside a number of other Mounties and jail guards,

BEST DEALS ON NEW

rivercitynissan.com

watched the sex acts via closed-circuit television from another room on the detachment’s cellblock.

The Crown said Brown was breaching his duty by watching the sex acts and inviting others to do so.

However, Brown’s defence was that he was not out of line because there was no black-andwhite RCMP protocol outlining what to do when prisoners begin having sex.

Brown contended he would have separated the women if the cellblock was not full. Court heard there was nowhere to move them.

Video-surveillance footage played during the trial shows Brown and other officers appearing to laugh and joke while watching the women have sex.

Outside of court, defence lawyer Glen Orris said the not-guilty verdict was one he had been expecting.

“Ever since I’ve had this file, I’ve strongly believed there wasn’t an offence here,” Orris said.

“This matter should not have been dealt with criminally.”

Orris said Brown plans to go back to work with the RCMP, having spent the last four-plus years on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of his trial.

“I like to think this hasn’t done anything to his career.

“We’ll have to wait and see what the RCMP does. I hope what they do is welcome him back to work.”

For his part, Brown said he’s still digesting the decision.

“I’ll probably just take the weekend to unwind,” he said. “It’s been a long time — four years.”

Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller told KTW Brown will remain on administrative leave pending an internal disciplinary process, noting a disciplinary hearing could take place.

“It depends on how much further investigation needs to be done.

Realistically, you’re probably looking at a few months away,” he said.

“The courts have made their decision.

“We respect that.

“Now, it will be addressed by the internal disciplinary process.”

Cat killer escapes jail sentence STEVEN SEIDEL, WHO STRANGLED OREO, GETS CONDITIONAL SENTENCE TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

TIGER MARTIAL ARTS

MODERN WORLD MARTIAL ARTS

GET SAFER & STRONGER!

A Kamloops man who was convicted of killing his pet cat has avoided a jail sentence.

Steven Seidel was convicted in June of causing unnecessary pain or suffering

to an animal.

Court heard Seidel strangled the cat, named Oreo, out of anger in March 2013, in part because the animal was urinating and defecating in the apartment he was sharing with his thenpregnant girlfriend.

In handing down his sentence yesterday

(Oct. 9), Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley cited the notoriety of Seidel’s case as a mitigating factor.

“The publicity has been clear and strong and I know it’s not over,” he said.

The Crown had been seeking a sixmonth jail term, but

Cleaveley instead placed Seidel on a nine-month conditional-sentence order — a jail sentence served in the community.

For four months, Seidel will have to abide by a strict curfew.

He also has to complete 40 hours of community service

by January.

In addition, he will be banned from owning animals for five years.

A petition seeking harsh punishment for Seidel collected 32,000 signatures.

But, sentencing law does not allow for a judge to consider such material.

A single-vehicle accident on Westsyde Road near The Dunes Golf Course yesterday (Oct. 9) claimed a life.

Cpl. Cheryl Bush said a 57-year-old male driver was the lone occupant of the vehicle involved in the 6:45 a.m. accident and that he died at the scene.

Bush said investigators are trying to determine whether a medical problem may have caused the accident and resulting fatality or whether the man died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash.

Talking on your handheld phone or fiddling with a music player while driving will cost you three penalty points in addition to a $167 fine, effective Oct. 20.

Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced the additional penalty points this week, making it the same as the penalty for texting and driving.

Penalty points are also added for infractions such as watching a video or programming a phone’s GPS system.

Anton said the B.C. government is also reviewing its fines and could increase them, but

not to the $1,000 fine Ontario drivers face for a first offence of distracted driving.

“I think a $1,000 fine is rather high,” Anton said.

Penalty points remain on a driving record for five years, and result in a $175 increase in insurance as soon as they exceed three points.

Fines and points for two distracted driving tickets in a year add up to at least $634.

At nine points, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles considers licence suspension.

Anton said there were 51,000 tickets issued last year for distracted driving of all kinds.

“Ticket volumes show us that

BEST DEALS ON SUV’S

more drivers are ticketed for talking on an electronic device than for texting and driving, and so that is where we decided to start with the new penalty points,” Anton said.

Distracted driving is the second biggest cause of fatal vehicle accidents, with an average 88 people killed per year from 2009 to 2013.

That compares to 105 deaths attributed to speeding and 86 due to alcohol or drug impairment.

Police can also issue tickets for driving without due care and attention to any driver who is noticeably distracted or inattentive and increasing risk to others.

BILL SUNDHU New Democrat

Liberal nominee isn’t worried about split vote Local MP hopefuls address issues ahead of 2015 vote CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The latest major entrant to next year’s federal-election race believes the momentum with his party will help put an end to concerns about votesplitting.

Liberal members chose Steve Powrie, a public-school and university educator, as the candidate to lead them into next fall’s federal election. He bested challenger Niki Remesz.

In an interview, Powrie acknowledged questions about votesplitting will dominate discussion, both locally and nationally.

The Liberal vote collapsed in KamloopsThompson-Cariboo in 2008 to 10 per cent and fell by half again in 2011.

Earlier years of Liberal strength have seen the party split the non-Conservative vote with the NDP — giving the Conservatives or Alliance five straight election victories in Kamloops.

The Liberal party under leader Justin Trudeau has dominated the polls for well over a year, with the NDP flat and Conservatives in decline.

“I wonder if it’s a result of people saying, ‘We can’t split the vote again,’” Powrie said.

“If it comes out to people wanting a change, they’ll prob-

ably go with what they sense is the dominant source.”

He said locally he is receiving support from the business community.

“It’s not just people who know me through education and the university.”

Conservative MP Cathy McLeod, who intends to run for a third time, said her party will be “running on getting our country through a tough time and through to a balanced budget.”

McLeod said polls have recently been shown, including in B.C., to be wildly unreliable.

“If you’re in government between elections you’re compared to the perfect. At election time, you’re compared against the options.”

New Democrat Bill Sundhu challenged the Liberal party to come out with a platform well before next fall’s planned election.

“So far, we haven’t any real policy from the

Liberals, so Canadians really don’t know what they stand for,” he said.

Sundhu said NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair, in contrast, has staked positions on a national child-care policy and an increase to the federal minimum wage.

McLeod said she was disappointed in the Liberal and New Democrat votes against providing military aid in the Middle East to battle ISIL. “They’re [Liberals and NDP] trying to compare it to Iraq in 2003. We have countries like France who see the difference now.”

Powrie said he believes the Liberal position against military intervention against ISIS is based on current information, arguing more intelligence is needed.

“I don’t want to see us close the door and say, ‘No military intervention,’” he said.

“I think Liberals agree that we don’t know enough to know what’s the best approach.”

FEAR AND STIGMA IN THE WEST

A

Burnaby company is playing a small role in the battle against the newest health scourge that is tearing through Africa and threatens to spread elsewhere.

Tekmira Pharmaceuticals has linked up with an international consortium that includes representatives of the World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. Centre for Disease Control and Medecins Sans Frontieres to advance its development of a vaccine for Ebola.

Other companies are also working on vaccines. Some, including Tekmira’s, have reportedly already been used to treat patients, foreshortening the often long and arduous trials and regulatory approvals process.

The need to stem the epidemic is that urgent.

If the epidemic isn’t stopped, it could soon become endemic, a disease that will be forever entrenched in a region, ready to spread in a moment’s inattention.

WHO estimates there could be 1.4-million cases of Ebola in West Africa by the end of January.

Meanwhile, there has been only a trickle of volunteers among the medical community of the western world.

The fear and stigma hearkens back to the early days of AIDS. “We talk about stigma and ignorance in Liberia, but let’s be frank, there’s plenty of stigma and ignorance in our own countries, and irrational fear of being on the ground. We have an obligation to counter that fear,” Sheldon Yett, the UNICEF country representative in Liberia, told the Globe and Mail.

Hopefully, more will have the courage to volunteer. When proper precautions are taken, there is very low risk among those working at Ebola treatment centres.

Ebola is not an awful, frequently fatal disease.

But we must act quickly and decisively, and not let fear prevent us tackling what could soon become the AIDS of our era.

Bored and bred in Kamloops

T

he comment online (and repeated on the opposite page) sums up the mayoral election race quite well: “So, we are down to the incumbent and a bored person. No wonder no one votes.”

The online commentor at kamloopsthisweek.com, a chap named Tyler, was offering his two bits to news that Elaine Sedgman had, in fact, decided against running for mayor.

The Sedgman monicker may not ring a bell, but KTW readers will know her better as Mr. Open Pitbelly, that weird, creepy-looking character with a 3-D model of an open-pit mine protruding from the stomach.

Sedgman, a performance artist, held a press conference in early September to declare her candidacy for the mayoral chair by running as a character that would extol the virtues of what the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine would bring to the Tournament Capital.

Running as a character promoting the mine as a way of running for office with a single antiAjax mine platform got some ink.

But, in the end, Sedgman decided against handing in her nomination papers.

She said she “took a walk” and reached the decision, but perhaps it was because new election law would have prohibited her from actually having voters cast their ballots for Mr. Open Pitbelly.

In the good-old days, before the Elections Act was wiped of any sense of fun, voters could vote for Mr. Peanut, Godzilla, The Piano Man and, during one feder-

MUSINGS al-election campaign I covered in Abbotsford — Satan.

Yes, Satan paid his $1,000 candidacy fee and campaigned in the buckle of the Bible Belt, vowing to change the name of the city to Aborts-ford while burning copies of the Good Book at roadside press conferences.

Oddly enough, Satan was always dressed as Ronald McDonald.

In any event, the injection onto campaign of such quirky candidates can add levity to a process that can be about as exciting as watching an Alberta NHL team attempt to claim two points on any given night.

Here in Kamloops, Mr. Open Pitbelly’s exit leaves just two people running for mayor, as of KTW’s press deadline yesterday.

Those two would be incumbent Peter Milobar and challenger Ben James, who is best known thus far for his primary reason for seeking office — he told KTW he was “bored” and had nothing else to do — and for being featured in this newspaper last December in a story detailing his efforts to

pick up needles in his neighbourhood.

Hence the remark online by Tyler, who referenced the pathetic level voter turnout at the civic level.

In 2011, 29 per cent of all eligible voters managed to make it to the polls and cast ballots — and that election featured a dynamite mayoral race that saw Milobar very nearly upset by a latecomer named Dieter Dudy.

This year, Dudy is setting his sights on a city council seat.

If no other challengers for mayor emerge by 4 p.m. today, Milobar is expected by most pundits to enjoy an election by de facto acclamation.

This is by no means a knock on James as he deserves credit for simply creating a race.

This civic election in particular has been noteworthy for those who are not running.

There is the aforementioned Mr. Open Pitbelly, whose absence will seriously impact entertainment value at candidate forums.

There is Denis Walsh, the former city councillor who teased us for months before deciding this week that family and business concerns preclude him from challenging Milobar.

There is Daljit Sadra, a banker and community-involved person who decided now is not the right time.

Those wishing to run have until 4 p.m. today to decide.

YOUR OPINION

[speak up] You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

FIGHTING ISIL IS, AS ALWAYS, ALL ABOUT OIL Editor: So, our prime minister wants to put troops in the Middle East.

Stephen Harper’s predecessor, Jean Chretien, made the decision years ago not to go to Iraq when requested to do so by thenU.S. president George W. Bush.

Chretien made the right decision as our experience in Afganistan proved.

Former U.S. vice-president Dick Cheney advised Bush not to topple Saddam Hussein or there would be a civil war.

Think what you will of Cheney — and some people think plenty — but Cheney was right.

Iraq was the creation of Sykes-Picot.

Sykes was a bureaucrat in the British Foriegn Office and Picot was a bureaucrat in the French Foriegn Office.

They decided on the boundries of Iraq over brandy and cigars without regard of the ethnic mix in Iraq.

They neither knew nor cared that Iraq was comprised of Sunni Muslims, Shia Muslims and Kurds, all of whom hate each other.

Saddam kept a lid on all of this by brutal repression.

He is said to have gassed 50,000 Kurds.

He was removed and his army destroyed by the U.S. government.

Now Harper wants to put Canadian troops,

who are mostly Christian, in the middle of all this.

Why? They will be attacked by all sides.

U.S. President Barack Obama wants to stamp out ISIL to help Saudi Arabia, which is Sunni Muslim, put an oil pipeline through Iraq and Syria to Europe, so the Saudis can sell their oil.

They are being blocked by ISIS, which is Shia.

It is all about oil.

It is always about oil.

Pat Kavanagh Kamloops

FULL FEDERAL PANEL REVIEW NEEDED ON AJAX Editor: It’s reassuring to know the 35-page report created by cardiologist Dr. Karpiak and engineer Ken Blawett is backed by research, evidence, time and concern.

Thank you, gentlemen.

It is being noted, correctly, that the word possible, as in “possible perils of the mine,” is the cautionary word in this report.

It might be wise to also consider the other side of the equation — KGHM’s promises, the “possible mitigation” of mining’s consequences.

One thing that is certain is nothing is certain.

Especially uncertain is the uncertainty of mining.

(See Mount Polley and many other similar events in mining.)

From Tailpro Consulting, I quote its uncertainty: ‘The final decision of any tailings facility is always provisional and must be confirmed once tailings production is underway.

“Once the potential site-specific parameters (e.g. environmental, social, geotechnical, cost) and the characteristics of the tailings and their behaviour upon deposition are determined, then the process of deciding a suitable storage method can begin.

“Not surprisingly, the physical and chemical characteristics of tailings and their method of handling and storage are of great and growing concern.

“Tailings present a long-term cost to the mining industry. If the company leaves or goes bankrupt, the local government can find itself with responsibility for the maintenance and monitoring of tailings dumps essentially forever. This, and other costs of clean-up, can impose liabilities that were estimated at up to $12 billion in the U.S. alone in 2005.”

If you would like to see what a tailings pond looks like, drive east of Logan Lake about 13 kilometres.

A kilometre or so past the entrance to the Highland Valley Copper mine, follow the

signs to a viewing area to the right of the highway for a good look at the mining operation.

If you want to see a blast, check it out around noon.

Follow the next eight kilometres or so to see the tailings pond on the left and the massive tailings dam — a dam that is, like Mount Polley and others, subject to possible failure.

If you agree that the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine might possibly be a mine too close, join the call for a full federal panel review.

It will be too late to make a difference should this city meekly allow this mine to go forward — and should then discover that even a percentage of the warnings possibly prove true.

Silence is not neutral.

Kamloops performance artist Elaine Sedgman — had announced the candidacy on Sept. 8.

However, after taking “a walk in the park,” Sedgman decided on Thursday, Oct. 9, to abandon the campaign.

When announcing her candidacy last month, Sedgman, in full Mr. Open Pitbelly costume (complete with a sculpture of an openpit mine attached to her belly), insisted her campaign was legitimate.

Sedgman said she was inspired by performance artist Vincent Trasov, who famously ran as Mr. Peanut in the

1974 Vancouver mayoral race, where his campaign mostly involved tap dancing.

• Meanwhile, scratch one more potential council candidate from the list.

Daljit Sadra, who works in the Kamloops banking industry and who is involved in myriad community activities, has decided not to seek a seat just two days before deadline for nominations.

• Deadline for nominations in the Nov. 15 civic election is at 4 p.m. today (Oct. 10).

Voters in November will go to the polls to

elect a new city council, Kamloops-Thompson board of education and Thompson-Nicola Regional District directors.

As of KTW press deadline yesterday, Kamloops City hall had received nomination papers from two mayoral candidates, 19 council candidates and 13 board of education candidates.

In the ThompsonNicola Regional District, three areas border Kamloops.

Areas J and L have incumbents file, while Area P has incumbent John Sternig and challenger Mel Rothenburger file.

Correction In an Oct. 3 KTW story on the pending closure of Stuart Wood elementary (‘Stuart Wood’s ownership surprise creates consternation’), the year the school will close was erroneously printed as 2015.

In fact, Stuart Wood will close in 2016, with its students and staff moving to the elementary school on McGill Road, now home to the elementary grades of Beattie School of the Arts.

Those students will, in turn, move to the John Peterson building on Ninth Avenue and complete a kindergarten to Grade 12 Beattie School of the Arts.

Surprising Blazers at home for two ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

here’s a word being used around the Tournament Capital to describe the start of the season for the Kamloops Blazers:

Surprising.

But, if fans and pundits are shocked by the team’s performance through eight games, the Blazers themselves look at it as meeting expectations.

“I think that after a poor effort, we’ve responded with good efforts,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said after practice on Wednesday, Oct. 8.

“Now we have to play well at home — and back-to-back at home.

“It’s going to be an important weekend for us, just to see how we’ve grown as a team.”

The Blazers, in only their third home game of the season, will play tonight (Oct. 10) against the Lethbridge Hurricanes (1-4-0-1) before facing the Everett Silvertips (3-0-2-0) tomorrow (Oct. 11).

Game time both nights is 7 p.m.

The Blue and Orange are off to one of their best starts in recent memory, playing to a 5-2-1 record and second-place standing in the WHL’s B.C. Division.

The undefeated Kelowna Rockets (7-0) are atop the division.

Kamloops has put together good efforts against tough competition, defeating the likes of Edmonton, Victoria and Swift Current, and has been unfazed by a start to the season ladened with road games.

In their recent trip to Alberta, the Blazers defeated the Hurricanes and drubbed the Oil Kings, bookending a loss to the Medicine Hat Tigers.

“I think that that’s my expectation,” Hay said of the road success.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

With six points in seven games, recent acquisition Mike Winther, 20, has been one of many bright spots for the surging Kamloops Blazers.

“I can’t say I’ve the road and helpbeen impressed or ing the team’s youth GAME #9 disappointed. It’s adjust to the start of what’s expected. the season.

“You have to show Rookies such up and compete as Jake Kryski and on the road as well Deven Sideroff have 1-4-0-1 5-2-1-0 as you do at home. had an immediate Friday, Oct. 10 That’s the sign of a impact for the club growing hockey team, Lethbridge @ in the young season, Kamloops is that you can win despite being 16 and 7 p.m. on the road.”

17 years old, respecISC Hay said veterans tively. like Matt Needham, Through eight Cole Ully, Brady games, Kryski has tallied two Gaudet and Ryan Rehill have done goals and seven points, while a good job of setting the tone on Sideroff has chipped in with seven

WHL FACEOFF

points, including four goals.

“I think they have been given an opportunity and they’re making the most of their opportunity,” Hay said of the rookies.

“They definitely have stepped up,” echoed Needham. “Kryski and Sideroff are playing big minutes every night and they’ve done nothing but good things with them.

“Guys like [Quinn] Benjafield, [Jermaine] Loewen, [Spencer] Bast, those guys have been in and out of the lineup, but playing really good minutes.”

Needham hasn’t been sur-

prised by the team’s hot start.

Like Hay, he expects the team to bring its best effort each and every night — and with that should come wins.

After a tough season last year, the captain said the recent Alberta road trip brought back fond memories.

“Back when I was 17, we went, I think, five straight and we swept everyone on the road trip. I think that was on our 14-game winning streak there.

“It kind of feels like that year right now, so it’s good. It’s a lot of fun.”

Still here after 44 years The Bamboo Inn located in The Brock Shopping Centre has been a fixture in Brocklehurst and Kamloops for that matter since 1972.

The longest serving restaurant in Kamloops has been dishing some of the tastiest Chinese food to their customers and it's no fluke they've been around so long.

Cosmo Li, owner operator and his brother Wilson started their venture in the restaurant business with the idea that North Kamloops needed a Chinese eatery and it proved correct. Cosmo, a Psych nurse at the Tranquille Institution in 1972 and his brother Wilson, a chef from Hong Kong developed a take out only store front that quickly grew into a full service restaurant.

The current location at 1800 Tranquille road is the original location and as Cosmos says "We never mess with success".

Bamboo Inn is a 100 seat facility that can also host business, staff, or any function and they have a liquor license.

They also cater to large parties with any dietary requirements. Stop in or call and see what you may have been missing.

"After 42 years, our food and customer service is proof enough that we're doing something right" Cosmo says.

The Red Deer Rebels will host the MasterCard Memorial Cup for the first time in team history next season.

On Wednesday, Oct. 8, the Western Hockey League’s board of governors selected the Albertan city to be the host location for 2016.

The last time the tournament took place in Alberta was 1974.

“I think both teams had excellent presentations, excellent bids,” said Kamloops Blazers’ general manager Craig Bonner, who was in Calgary for the vote.

“It came down to, in my opinion anyways, that the event hasn’t been in Alberta since,

I think, 1974. So there’s some excitement there.

The Red Deer Rebels and the Vancouver Giants were the two teams in the running to host the 2016 Canadian Hockey League championship.

Bonner said the WHL didn’t reveal the number of votes cast for either bid. The winning side needed the support of a simple majority of the league’s governors.

“Both teams would have been good hosts,” Bonner said, declining to reveal how he voted on Wednesday.

“I can’t speak for the other guys who voted, but I think Red Deer got it because they haven’t had it in so long.”

The WHL will celebrate its 50th anni-

versary in 2015-2016, coinciding with the Memorial Cup’s return to the West.

“The WHL is very confident the Red Deer Rebels, the City of Red Deer and the province of Alberta will serve as outstanding hosts of the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup,” WHL commissioner Ron Robison said in a statement.

“The strength of the Rebels organization, combined with the enthusiasm of the city and the province, will ensure the 2016 event will be one of the best ever.”

Bonner said the Blazers considered entering a bid to host the 2016 tournament, but knew there was a good chance Kamloops would be hosting

the women’s World Championship.

He said the organization will again consider putting Kamloops forward as a possible location when the tournament returns to the WHL in 2019.

Though the city won’t be hosting in 2016, Bonner hopes his team will be in attendance, nonetheless.

“I like to think we’re going to have a strong group next year, just like a lot of teams do,” he said. “We’re getting better this year day by day and hopefully we just keep improving and we’ll do all we can to get there.

“That would be a great accomplishment.”

SUN PEAKS UP FOR WORLD SNOW AWARDS Sun Peaks Resort is receiving some international recognition this week — the local mountain has been shortlisted in two categories for the 2014 World Snow Awards.

Sun Peaks is nominated for the Eco Award and is in the running to be named the mostimproved resort in North America.

Both categories will be judged by a panel of industry experts.

Whistler Blackcomb, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Steamboat, Big Sky Resort and Breckenridge Ski Resort are among Sun Peaks’ competition.

Alpine and Nordic trail development were among the driving factors behind the resort’s nomination

in the most-improved category.

Sun Peaks’ ongoing forest-health program, which is aimed at, among other things, managing the mountain pine-beetle epidemic, helped secure its nomination for the Eco Award.

The awards will take place on Nov. 1, in London, England.

The mountain is scheduled to open for the ski season on Nov. 22.

Resort to open mountain-cross cart course

In the summer of 2015, Sun Peaks will become the first resort in North America to boast a mountain-cross cart course.

ò Obituaries & In Memoriam ô ERNEST WILLIAM SMITH

ROSS EDEN

October 31, 1932 ~ October 3, 2014

December 13, 1919 - October 5, 2014

In 1966, Ernie met Coral, his wife and the mother of his children, Douglas (Violet), and Tracy Cooke (Lee). Together they raised their children in Edmonton, Alberta, Trenton, Ontario, Vernon and Kamloops. Sadly, he was predeceased

by Coral in 2008.

Ernie was a devoted son, brother, husband, father and citizen.

He was the kind of father who made the backyard ice rink in the winter for Doug and coached Tracy in softball in the summer. He believed in community service and volunteered tirelessly for the Valleyview Overlander Lions Club. He was the recipient of many honours including the Melvin Jones Fellow in May, 1998 for dedicated services for the Lions Club International Foundation and a Lions Club Life Membership in May 2013. In his retirement, he combined all of his interests to successfully operate a beer garden business catering to Slo-Pitch softball tournaments throughout Kamloops.

Ernest (“Ernie”) William Smith passed away peacefully with his family at his side on October 3, 2014.

Ernie was born on October 31, 1932 to Albert and Allison on Smith in Baltimore, Ontario. Ernie was the youngest of six surviving children, and was predeceased by his parents, brothers (Spencer, Andrew and Douglas) and sister, Betty.

Left to mourn him is sister Jesse, brother-in-law Bill Wright, and the extended Smith family. Ernie joined the Canadian Army in 1952 and served for 26 years in the Royal Canadian Army Services Corps. A proud serviceman, he was stationed in Cyprus, the Gaza Strip and Egypt (to name a few) with the United Nations Peacekeepers. In 1999, he was awarded the Canadian Peacekeeping Service Medal. After his time in the Canadian Armed Forces, he worked at a variety of positions for the Government of Canada, retiring in December, 1995.

Ernie had a combined career in the service of Canada of 42 years.

TRINA LOUISE PIETRAMALA (DAWSON) September 13, 1965 – October 4, 2014

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to his doctors, the staff at Chartwells (formerly “The Renaissance”), Royal Inland Hospital and his family at the Moose Lodge for the loving care they gave to Ernie. Ernie will be deeply missed by all who knew this very fine man.

A Celebration of Life to be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, November 15, 2014 at the Moose Lodge 1552 located in the North Shore Community Centre, 730 Cottonwood Avenue, Kamloops, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations in Ernie’s name to the Valleyview Overlander Lions Club or a charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated.

Trina was selfless and never put herself first. She was always the one people could rely on and never expected anything in return. We will miss her, she will forever be in our hearts.

Always Caring, Always Giving, Always Loving

In 1920 when Ross was one year old they moved from the one room cabin at the head of Watch Lake to the house his dad helped build. At the early age of twelve Ross started learning how to break colts and work horses. Ross joined the army at the age of 21 and was deployed for duty in the fall of 1943. When World War II ended in 1945 Ross returned to Canada but not before marrying Jean Leggett on July 4, 1945 in Rutherglen, Scotland. Ross & Jean lived in various locations in the Cariboo until 1963 when they moved their family to Monte Creek where Ross began his career as Ranch Foreman for the Bostock Ranch, then for Wayne & Valene Everett when the ranch ownership changed. Ross was well respected in the ranching industry. He had great knowledge of cattle and all aspects of the ranch operation. After retiring from ranching in the early 80’s Ross worked as a Brand Inspector for the Provincial Government and then worked at the BC Livestock Co-op. Ross was also a 4-H Leader and made sure all his children had the opportunity to become involved in the 4-H program.

Ross was predeceased by his wife and best friend Jean in 2003 after 58 years of marriage. He will be sadly missed by his two sons, Tom (Lois) Eden, Midway, Don (Deb) Eden, Clinton and his three daughters, Betty Manuel (Rick Hook) Louis Creek, Barb (Joe) DeLeeuw, Knutsford and Helen (Lael) Robillard of Kamloops. Twelve grandchildren Stan (Terreena) Eden, Sandra (Gerry) Pettyjohn, Jason (Julie) Manuel, Kyla (Brian) Miller, Jenna (Rob) Geisbrecht, Justine Eden, Ross Eden, Karla Crellin, Stacy Crellin (Dan Light) , Jodi Robillard (Dave Nickel), Kyle Robillard (Dani Adamo) and Keaton Robillard. He also leaves to cherish eight great-grandchildren Miranda, Joshua, Lane, Macy, Jacob, Lucas, Mya and Kaedance. Step-grandchildren Daric, Darla, Dana & Jinni Hook.

Ross was also predeceased by his siblings and their spouses, brother Don Eden (Jackie), twin sisters Alice Horn (Shorty) and Enid Scheepbouwer (John).

The Funeral Service will be held at the Calvary Temple, 1205 Rogers Way, Kamloops on Thursday, October 16, 2014 at 2:00 pm.

December 9,1938 - October 2,2014

Remembering It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joan.

Surrounded by family, Dave, husband of 53 years, children Brad (Le Anne), Brent, Shelley Jameus (Bert). Joan also leaves behind her sister Penny Kidd (Gord) of Coquitlam, BC, as well as grandchildren Danielle, Lindsey from Sorrento, Nerissa, Bryant and Brad from Kamloops, as well as many nieces and nephews and many friends and coworkers throughout BC and the Yukon.

Joan was an avid golfer and for many years never missed a Ladies Night or a good game of cards with the “girls” at Mt. Paul Golf course. Joan enjoyed the outdoors, camping, skiing, and waterskiing , and hours of swimming in her backyard pool with friends and family.

A special thanks to Dr Stefanyk and Sandy for their above and beyond care and also a special thanks to the staff and volunteers at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House.

There will be no service by request.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House would be appreciated.

Rest in peace Mom - “Love you”

Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe.

Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear?

Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared.

I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow.

So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow.

Now my life is all confused Since you went away.

You took a part of me And for help I daily pray.

But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time.

Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears.

Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Oh Great Spirit ...

JOAN SHARRON

Trina Louise Pietramala passed away October 4, 2014 surrounded by her family.

Trina is survived by her children, Frank Pietramala and Melissa Pietramala, and her sister, Elaine (Kerry) Bonderud.

Trina married Augie Pietramala in 1989. Mom dedicated her soul to her children and took great pride in every one of our accomplishments. Every moment of Mom’s life she tried to make it amazing, no matter how good or bad things were; she stayed strong when her children couldn’t. Her focus as a Mom was to take care of the household duties and would make our lives easier. Whenever Mom was cooking, the aromas drifted down the street, through the neighbourhood, and we would know what was for dinner walking home from school.

Ross was born to Stan and Sadie Eden of Watch Lake, BC on December 13, 1919 in Ashcroft, BC.

Should friends desire, in lieu of flowers donations can be made to the charity of their choice.

Peacefully

Trina was born in Calgary, AB. She grew up in Airdrie, AB, Kitimat, BC, and moved to Kamloops in 1974. She attended school at Marion Schilling Elementary, Kay Bingham Elementary, Brocklehurst Junior Secondary and graduated from NorKam Secondary.

With his family by his side Ross Beatty Eden passed away on October 5, 2014, just short of his 95th birthday.

Each Loss ...

Saba Dhaliwal October 10, 2003

Loved, missed so very much and never to be forgotten.

– Family and Friends –

Oh Great Spirit Whose voice I hear in the wind Whose breath gives life to the world Hear me I come to you as one of your many children I am small and weak I need your strength and your wisdom May I walk in beauty Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset Make my hands respect the things that you have made And my ears sharp to hear your voice Make me wise, So that I may know the things you have taught your children The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock Make me strong, Not to be superior to my brothers But to be able to fight my greatest enemy — myself Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes So that when life fades, as the fading sunset My spirit will come to you without shame.

PACK UP FOR PARADISE IN PUNTA CANA

am up early, but the sun is already warm.

I walk the seemingly endless silky white sand beach, past palms swaying in the morning breeze.

The clear turquoise waters curl gently on the shore. The lounge chairs and grass shelters are empty now, but soon, guests will start to wander down, to claim their place in the sun.

If you believe Caribbean cruises would be heaven if only there was more beach time and drinks were included, then here is the place for you — Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

I must say, I have never been one for a luxurious resort vacation. Most of my vacations are more geared to action and adventure than to relaxation.

I prefer trips where you visit cultural landmarks and learn the history of a place. That being said, in the throes of a Canadian winter, all I’m looking for here in the Dominican is blue sky, inviting ocean and a place where the sun is shining.

In Punta Cana, nearly 40 all-inclusive resorts are sprinkled along about 35 kilometres of wide beach fringed with palm and coconut trees.

My choice for a few days is the newly launched Level at the Melia Caribe Tropical.

Once you’ve arrived, you can stash your wallet in the safe and settle in. The only decisions you’ll have to make are at the buffet or at the door of your room, where the stone walkway takes you through immaculate grounds and gardens either to the pool or to the private beach.

The Dominican Republic covers the eastern two-thirds

of the Caribbean’s second-largest island, Hispaniola, and attracts more international visitors than any other Caribbean island.

In addition to more than 1,400 kilometres of sugarcoloured sand beaches, the country boasts tropical rain forests, cascading waterfalls, rushing rivers, giant sand dunes and mangrove jungles. Dominican culture strongly reflects its history, first recorded when Christopher Columbus landed here in 1492 after visiting the Bahamas and Cuba.

The landscape reminded him of Spain and so he named the island La Isla Espanola — later changed to Hispaniola.

Manfred Schoebel, general manager for Meliá Caribe Tropical, tells me the property is at 95 per cent occupancy.

This surprises me as, during my stay, there is never a feeling of it being busy or crowded. Unlike many all-inclusives, there are choices of where to sit on the private beach or around the pool. Even in mid-afternoon, there are many empty beach chairs and plenty of choice — sun or the shade provided by the ubiquitous palm and coconut trees or the many thatched-roof shelters.

On the food side, buffets are varied and there are also the Asian, Italian and Mediterranean restaurants of Cuatro.

This new establishment is divided into four dining experiences, including Uno, a traditional steakhouse; Dos, a Gastro

Pub; Tres, a fusion of Peruvian fare with Japanese and Cantonese cuisine; and Cuatro, a beachside buffet serving international cuisine.

As a former Spanish colony, many of the local dishes carry a familiar Latin American feel, with an unlikely mixture of influences — European, African and native Taíno Indian cultures.

If you want to get a little active, the resort has a water-sports centre with kayaks, windsurfers, paddle boards and sailboats.

You can book a dive or snorkel excursion and a parasailing or catamaran tour. Guests are able to indulge in the resort’s experiences menu, featuring special workshops, dinners on the beach, romantic private breakfasts and energy for life activities like body balance — a mix of yoga and tai chi.

Personal concierges make priority reservations for à la carte restaurants, the YHI Wellness spa, golf courses, tennis courts and outside activities.

If you are travelling with children, the kids’ zone will occupy the little ones, while the adventure park and rock-climbing wall entertain those a bit older. My ground-level room features a Jacuzzi, spa shower and something called a pillow and fragrance menu.

The service is impressive and the kindness of the Dominicans is wonderfully authentic.

Overall, the Melia CaribeTropical gives you the best of what Punta Cana has to offer: A holiday that can be romantic, family-friendly or focused on well-needed rest and relaxation.

However, don’t go expecting to soak up Dominican culture as the resorts of Punta Cana seem particularly isolated.

But, if what you want is a luxurious escape, the Level is built to carry you away from the cares of the world.

Supreme Court: Threat of violence is inherently violence THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled the threat of violence is inherently a form of violence and can be used in determining whether someone should be locked up indefinitely.

The court has overturned lowercourt rulings in the case of John Steele, a Winnipeg man with a long criminal history,

who was convicted of robbing a drugstore in 2010.

He told a cashier he had a gun, although there was no evidence he had one and the cashier was not injured.

The Crown sought to have Steele declared either a longterm offender, which would mean longterm supervision after release, or a dangerous offender, which would carry an indefi-

nite prison sentence.

The Crown based its argument on Steele’s lengthy record and Section 752 of the Criminal Code, which says people repeatedly convicted of “the use or attempted use of violence’’ can be assessed for such status.

However, the trial judge and the Manitoba Court of Appeal ruled Steele’s threat to use a gun did not amount to attempted use of violence.

He was sentenced to eight years in prison.

The high court rejected the lower court views in a decision released yesterday (Oct. 9).

“All threats of violence are themselves violent, even though the seriousness of the violence may be quite limited,’’ the unanimous court ruling reads.

“The Court of Appeal’s approach

though he couldn’t offer more details on the nature of the injuries.

Reitsma said the company is now working to determine the cause of the fire and explosion, which he said originated inside a drying machine that wasn’t operating at the time.

The wood-mill industry has been under increased scrutiny since two fatal explosions at facilities in Burns Lake and

those that are not.’’

The Supreme Court ordered Steele be assessed for dangerous or long-term offender status.

The ruling pointed

out the designation is not automatic.

There are “a number of procedural steps,’’ including a psychological assessment.

Parkinson Society British Columbia would like to thank all of our Parkinson SuperWalk supporters in Kamloops!

Three injured in mill explosion BURNS LAKE — Three mill workers have been injured in a fire and explosion at a wood pellet plant in northern B.C. Leroy Reitsma, the president of Pinnacle Renewable Energy, said the incident happened yesterday (Oct. 9) during a maintenance shutdown at a facility near Burns Lake.

Reitsma said one worker suffered serious injuries and two workers received minor injuries,

. . . would result in untold difficulties for trial judges seeking to establish the elusive dividing line between threats that are inherently violent and

Prince George, both of which were linked to the presence of combustible wood dust.

Reitsma said it’s far too early to speculate about what happened at the Pinnacle plant, though he says the fact it occurred inside a piece of equipment makes the accident different from previous explosions related to wood dust.

here was a time when I would walk uphill both ways in the snow just to wait in line at Cactus Jack’s on Seymour Street.

You could spend most of your night waiting just to get inside.

But, oh — once you did, it was worth the wait.

That old bar was huge, with two floors

and a real cowboy feel.

It had tables and tiers and Texas Teas like no other.

It had so many little b throughout that bars y felt like you were in you a different venue with a d different atmosphere in e each unique corner of t place. the I remember one of t those little bars.

It had chairs out f front and overlooked the dance floor from above.

I sat in vomit there once.

I never went back to it much after that, but it was still neat.

Ahhh, the good old days.

These things — and, let’s be honest, $3 tequila shots on Saturdays — were what kept me going back to Cactus Jacks long after it moved to its current location on Fifth Avenue.

But, it just wasn’t the same.

And, it wasn’t just the new location.

remember wondering whether I had accidentally walked into a rave.

It had bucked off its famed cowboy charm and opted for electronic music.

In turn, the clientele transformed from good ol’ country folk who once shot pool upstairs and two-stepped on the dance floor to the 19-year-old crowd that loves bouncing around to the music that sounds like cats are being electrocuted in a toaster.

Most nights at the new location ended in buzzkills.

At one point, I remember wondering whether I had accidentally walked into a rave — and I would have appreciated a refund on my cover charge because I walked out almost as quickly as I walked in.

In other words, I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into when I got tickets to see and review Big Wreck at Cactus Jack’s last week, having boycotted the bar for so long.

I walked through the doors fully expecting to see seizure-inducing strobe lights flickering to a beat that could only come from some guy behind a Mac Book.

Instead, a mature audience stood on the dance floor, swaying in time to the opening band, Royal Tusk, learning the music of young and energetic

musicians they’ve likely never before heard.

It was a completely different bar.

The former so-called VIP space has been used much better, with the area now designated to the new stage.

The stage and the audience were separated by a gate just far enough away for safety, with security also managing the area.

Speakers hung from the ceiling in front, with an audio booth in the middle of the floor.

The pool-table area made for a convenient spot at the back to sell merchandise.

The quality was akin to being on the floor during a concert at a smaller Interior Savings Centre — up close and personal.

Only, there’s a bar to your right.

It was an intimate

show and it was executed professionally.

The show started on time, the bartenders poured bottled drinks into cups, the sound system wailed and the audience behaved.

It’s good business, too.

I wasn’t going to that bar, period, let alone on a Tuesday night.

Now, though, I look forward to checking out the Trews on a Monday night in December, when I will gladly walk uphill both ways in the snow to wait in line at Cactus Jack’s on Fifth Avenue.

BEST Tour puts spin on talks with teens DEALS ON NEW ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

With an edgy, fun, interactive program, Barb Hamblett sees the ReachOut Psychosis Concert Tour as a perfect way to engage students in a difficult subject — their own mental health.

The principal at Beattie School of the Arts said the travelling group of entertainers has been at the school before, bringing rock band Froghead and dancer Susan Nase to share personal stories and statistical facts about teen psychosis, how to recognize it and what to do about it.

Hamblett said the performers “talk openly and in a positive way” about the reality that can hit teenagers.

There are many symptoms — odd behaviour, cutting, poor hygiene, overactivity, agitation, sleep disturbances and substance abuse are some, but there are others that can impact how a teenager behaves, engages with the world around them, learns, remembers or even thinks.

Hamblett said while school administration and teachers aren’t privy to that kind of health information, unless a student or family shares it with them, they see indicators that there is something amiss with students.

“We see a lot of anxious kids,” she said, “and we see poor attendance sometimes.

Talking openly about it is something we can all improve on in society.”

That’s one of the reasons why the members of Froghead, a Vancouver band, are part of the program, which is offered by the B.C. Schizophrenia

CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAY SEASON

DAVE EAGLES/KTW St. Ann’s Academy Grade 8 student natalie Pietramala (centre) gets the student body into it as she competes in a dance-off with school liaison Susan Nase during the ReachOut Psychosis Concert Tour on Wednesday, Oct. 8, at the school.

Society. For example, bassist Mike Young knows about teen depression because he had it himself, sometimes experiencing psychosis. It was through the intervention of a friend that he eventually realized what was happening to him and got treatment.

He’s gone on to become a busy Vancouver musician, not just with his own band, The Matinee, but from touring with Carly Rae Jepson, Devin Townshend and Terror Syndrome, among others.

The messages the performers share go from basic facts — what percentage of people can have psychosis — to what family and friends can do, treatments and what to do if you think a relative or friend may have the mental-health condition.

“I believe this is

something all of our kids should know more information about,” Hamblett said and, at her school, which teaches through the arts, the message always resonates.

“We had them here last about two years ago and we bring them back regularly,” she said of the program, which began in 2005.

Nase said in the two years she’s been with ReachOut, she’s heard nothing but positive feedback from students who see the onehour show.

One of the messages presented is the simple reality of the prevalence of psychosis.

“We tell them that three per cent of the population will experience it,” she said.

“It’s six times more common than Type One diabetes — and pretty much everyone knows someone with Type One diabetes.

“Everyone is going to come across this [health issue] in their lifetime.”

There’s also information about resources, how teachers can recognize psychosis, how important it is to talk to adults if a student is concerned and the value of the province’s early psychosisintervention program designed to provide the assistance a teen needs to deal with the illness.

The program is also supported on the Internet and in social media. Its website, reachoutpsychosis. com, prominently features the province’s HealthLink 811 phone number, and has information designed for everyone from a teacher to a buddy of someone who may have a mental-health issue.

The performers are at Beattie today

(Friday, Oct. 10.)

They’ve also been at St. Ann’s Academy and Brocklehurst Middle School this week as part of a tour throughout the Interior.

Gob draws rowdy crowd JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

I remember being a teen and moving downstairs into the bedroom in my parents’ basement.

It was only something you could do when you were old enough and I begged them to let me paint my new room.

They agreed, so long as I did it myself.

I closed the door and painted the room and got carried away rocking out and singing along to Gob’s Foot in Mouth Disease on my ghetto blaster, having the time of my life while excited for my impending independence.

That was, until my mom came downstairs and freaked out because I had been painting with the door closed.

I was high on the paint fumes, but I didn’t care at all.

by ALFRED UHRY October 9 to 18, 2014 SAGEBRUSH THEATRE Pay-What-You-Can Matinée Saturday, October 18, 2:00pm This experience resembled Gob’s show at the Blue Grotto on Wednesday, Oct. 8.

Audience members are likely bruised and battered after the push and shove party that broke out on the dance floor within the first song it played at about 10:45 p.m.

A mosh pit formed and sucked people in and the 1990s Kamloops punk scene the band’s lead singer and guitarist Tom Thacker referred to during an interview

with KTW had clearly come out to play.

The band only played for just over an hour but, for those who participated in the mosh pit, it was like doing an hour of hot yoga if you measured the buckets of sweat flying off bodies.

The band played so loud that, at one point, it smelled like the speakers were on fire, something the band noted on stage.

It made for an interesting — and smelly — combination with that

pungent scent of B.O. I joined into the pit at one time and learned that a good guard arm is all you need for protection.

It was a fun way to join in the reckless mess of the show and celebrate my youth.

However, the ringing in my ears and the bruise on my ankle the following day tells me I’ve grown up from Gob. Because, unlike my younger years, now I care about the damage it’s done.

Be Bear Smart Bears and people come into conflict when our garbage is easy to access and other attractants are poorly managed. Properly storing and securing garbage and other bear attractants is a proven method for discouraging bears and preventing problems in your neighbourhood.

Bear Prevention Tips • Freeze pungent waste and store garbage inside until pick up. • Rinse recyclables • Pick fruit daily as it ripens or before it ripens if you don't intend to use it • Do not put meat, oils, dairy or un-rinsed eggshells or cooked foods into the compost bin • Turn your compost regularly and cover with leaves or soil to help decrease odours

TUES., OCT. 14

Bear Bylaw Residents are reminded not to place their solid waste containers out before 4 am on collection day between April 1st and November 30th and to not accumulate or improperly store bear attractants. Violators are subject to a $100 fine.

out on behalf of the local environment.

It was the realization the massive old-growth trees he was so in awe of were in grave danger of being destroyed through forestry practices of the day that led Cooperman and six others to form the Shuswap Environmental Action Society (SEAS) in 1989.

Twenty-five years later, SEAS is celebrating accomplishments

with a book penned by award-winning author Deanna Kawatski: Big Trees Saved And Other Feats — The story of the Shuswap Environmental Action Society.

“I think Deanna did an awesome job of telling the story and focusing on the key points, and making it interesting for the readers,” said Cooperman.

“Over the years, SEAS’s hard work and dedication has resulted in 25,000 hectares of new parks in the Shuswap, including the Upper Seymour River rainforest, and the magnificent Anstey Arm Hunakwa Lake wilderness area.”

Cooperman is also hoping the book will improve the public’s understanding that these parks exist and, with greater public awareness, more pressure will be put on the government to make it easier for people to access them.

Cooperman said the gorgeous Upper Seymour River Provincial Park is 90 kilometres north of Seymour Arm. “You get into big trees by mountain bike or an hour-long hike from parking,” he said.

“Few people, if any, have hiked up to the glacier.

“It’s pretty incredible to think there is landscape like that in the Shuswap and almost nobody knows about it.”

Cooperman said there is little money budgeted for B.C. Parks.

“You have to get

their attention and you’re up against all the other parks,” he said.

“If there’s more public pressure, we might actually see more money. Basically, zero dollars have been spent on many of the new parks in the northern part of the Shuswap.”

Referring again to the Upper Seymour, Cooperman said visitors have to fight their way through bush to get their canoes in the water.

He said a path would be pricey.

diversity, give species a place to be and we need wild places on the planet.”

Cooperman laments huge old-growth trees are not being preserved in many other places in the province.

Thanks to the efforts of SEAS, thousands of hectares of old-growth forest were set aside and forest management was vastly improved, leading to better protection for non-timber forest values.

In 2008, SEAS rallied to stop a proposed marina and condominium development from being built at the mouth of the Adams River, one of the most significant sockeye-

salmon spawning rivers in the world.

Cooperman said SEAS changed the map of the Shuswap through the creation of the new parks and, in 2010, the society helped produce the first map of the Shuswap watershed in a poster format.

The book launch will be at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 15, in the hall at First United Church at 450 Southeast Okanagan Ave. in Salmon Arm. The event will also include live music, speakers and refreshments.

To cook a turkey first you have to buy a turkey and take it home with you. Remember turkeys like the fron seat with the windo down and their wing out the window. Then when you get home take your best friend Mr. Turkey inside to the kitchen to show him his new bed the pan or roaster. But before he lays down you need to preheat his sauna (the oven) to about 475째C. Then you put mister turkey in to his bed (a pan) you can butter and spice him up. Then you can feed (stuff ) him. When you feed (stuff ) Mr. Turkey you can buy his food (stuffing) or make him home made good (stuffing). You can do that by taking bread chunks, BBQ suace, garlic, onions, and spices. Then you have to tie Mr turkeys wings so he doesn't fly away. Don't forget to tie up those legs so he can't run away. Or so he can't loose his food (stuffing) inside him while he is in his sauna (oven) Before you do that take a baster and baste Mr. Turkey. You do that by squirting the juices from

This is how you cook a turkey! I recamend using Cooper foods for ingerdentes, there the best!

Step 1. Go to Cooper's Foods and pick out one or two of the juicey, delicious turkeys depending on how many people you're feeding.

Step 2. Rinse off the turkey and let it chill in the sink and give him some awesome classes.

Step 3. Get a bowl out of the cupboard.

Step 4. Make the stuffing. Put bread crumbs and some of Coopers' delicious spices and onions in a bowl and mix them together.

Step 5. Preheat the oven to 375째.

Step 6. Get out the roasting pan.

Step 7. Put the delicious Coopers turkey in the roasting pan.

Step 8. Spice and butter the turkey using Coopers ingredients.

Step 9. Stuff the turkey.

Step 10. Then you tie up the turkey's wings and legs together so it doesn't try to escape out o your oven by walking or flying.

Step 11. Rip off a pice of tin foil and place it over the turkey.

Mr. Turkey onto Mr. Turkey. You should baste Mr. Turkey every 15-20 minutes. Then you have to cover Mr. Turkey with tin foil ro a lid if Mr. Turkey is small enough. Then you have to put Mr. Turkey into his sana (the oven) to tan (cook). Depending on how big Mr trukey is tells you how long to let him tan (cook) for. Usually turkeys take 3-5 hours. Onces Mr. Turkey is done tanning (cooking) put on your oven mitts and take Mr. Turkey out of the sauna (oven).

Put your oven mitts away. Then let Mr. Turkeycool for 15-20 minutes. Then take a big fork or two and stab Mr. Turkey and place Mr. turkey on a cutting board. Then get a sharp carving knife and carfully carve Mr. Trukey. Then take the pieces of turkey and put them on a serving plater or place. Then there should be some juices left in the pan or roaster. Put the juices in a pot and add a bit of flour mixed with water to the jies to make gravy and then put it in a gravy boat. Serve your turkey with some mashed potatoes and some veggies. That is how I would make my turkey. The End

Step 12. PUt lid on roasting pan.

Step 13. Put roasting pan and turkey in oven.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Exponential Ebola

H

ere are two good things about the Ebola

virus: It is unlikely to mutate into a version that can spread through the air, as some other viruses have done. And people who have been infected by Ebola cannot pass it on to others during the incubation period (between two and 21 days).

Only when they

GWYNN DYER

World

WATCH develop detectable symptoms, notably fever, do they become infectious to others — and only by the transfer of bodily fluids.

Here are three bad things about Ebola: The “bodily fluids” that can transmit it include even the tiniest droplet of sweat. Just the slightest touch can pass the virus on.

The death rate for those who become infected is 70 per cent.

And the U.S. Centers for Disease Control warned recently that we could have 1.4-million cases of Ebola by

January.

Since the number of known cases so far is only around 7,500, that suggests the number of new cases is doubling approximately every two weeks.

This is called exponential growth — not 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 . . . but 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 . . .

If you put one grain of wheat on the first square of a chessboard, two on the second and keep doubling the grains every square, there are not enough grains of wheat in the world to get you to the 64th square.

Until and unless a vaccine becomes available in very large quantities, the only way to stop the exponential spread of Ebola in the affected countries is to isolate the victims, a task that is very difficult in mostly rural countries with minimal medical facilities.

Liberia, with 4.2-million people, had only 51 doctors and 978 nurses and midwives at the

start of the crisis — and some of those have already died or fled.

You don’t need to find and isolate everybody who gets the disease to break the exponential pattern.

Just isolating 75 per cent of them as soon as they become infectious would drastically slow the spread.

But, at the moment, in the three most affected countries, only an estimated 18 per cent of the victims are being taken to treatment centres (where, of course, most of them will die).

This is why the most important intervention so far has been the dispatch of 3,000 U.S. troops to Liberia, with the primary job of creating 17 large tent hospitals and training 500 nurses to work in them.

Britain is providing 200 new hospital beds in its former colony of Sierra Leone, with 500 more in the next few months. Cuba has sent 165 health workers, China has sent 60 and France has sent various teams to help its former colony, Guinea.

But, with the exception of the American aid to Liberia, it is all woefully inadequate.

Nine months after the first case of Ebola was confirmed in Guinea, we are still playing catch-up — and playing it badly.

Why is that? Aren’t the developed countries also at risk if the virus continues to spread?

Well, no, or at least their governments don’t think so.

Even without a vaccine, they are confident their health services can find and isolate any infected people quickly and prevent Ebola from becoming an epidemic in their countries.

They are probably right and so they see the limited help they are sending to West Africa as charity, rather than a vital self-interest.

But, they may be wrong.

As Professor Peter Piot, who first identified the Ebola virus in 1976, said in a recent interview with Der Spiegel: “I am more worried about the many people from India who work in trade or industry in West Africa.

“It would only take one of them to become infected, travel to India during the virus’s incubation period to visit relatives, and then, once he becomes sick, go to a public hospital.

“Doctors and nurses in India often don’t wear protective gloves.

“They would immediately become infected and spread the virus.”

Then you would have Ebola on the loose in a country of more than a billion people, millions of whom travel abroad each year.

All hope of confining the disease to Africa and driving it back down to almost nothing, as was done in previous outbreaks, would be gone.

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!
