DAVE EAGLES/KTW

LINUS-WORTHY GOURD

The proponents of the Ajax copper and gold mine will host a special tour of their mine site next week, but only mayoral and council candidates are invited on the bus. According to an invitation sent to all candidates from KGHM Ajax external-affairs manager Yves Lacasse, the Wednesday, Oct. 29, event will feature an information presentation, followed by a tour of the site south of Aberdeen. The whole event is expected to take two hours. It is not open to public or media. Company senior communications strategist Robert Koopmans said KGHM set up the tour in response to an influx of calls and questions from candidates running in the Nov. 15 civic election. “It allows candidates to ask questions and get straight answers from us at a time when I think they really need it,” Koopmans said, noting the Ajax question has been top of mind in the early weeks of the campaign. Ajax has pledged to stay neutral in the

election by not backing any candidates financially and Koopmans said the tour doesn’t contradict that pledge. “We are providing all of the candidates, every candidate, the same opportunity and information,” he said. “It’s nothing but basic fact.” The tour will follow the same format as those given to the public through the summer months, Koopmans said. Many candidates are taking the company up on its offer. Those contacted by KTW who are not going on the tour cited scheduling conflicts. Coun. Donovan Cavers said he has already taken the company’s tour and does not see the need to do so again. Mayor Peter Milobar is not taking the tour because of scheduling conflicts, but said he likely would have gone along had his calendar allowed. “Part of the job of being a city councillor or mayor is meeting with businesses and talking with them,” he said, adding he believes taking the tour would be no different than meeting with a group such as the Kamloops

Area Preservation Association, which opposes the proposed mine. Council candidate Mike O’Reilly believes the tour will be a chance for candidates to ask questions they might not want to pose in front of voters or cameras. “They might not know something and they don’t want to be seen as uneducated,” he said. “Lots of times I’ve sat through a conference and you don’t want to ask the question because you think everyone knows it.” Council candidate Annette Glover said she called Ajax as part of her research on the mine issue, which included attending a recent forum on air pollution at Thompson Rivers University. “I always do all the homework I can,” she said. Mayoral candidate Pierre Filisetti said he is looking forward to a chance to pose questions about the mine’s reclamation, safety and sustainability plans, but said he’s not sure if the tenor of the tour will allow him to grill KGHM staff the way he would like. “I know there is going to be a lot of people trying to brown-nose with them,” he said.

Barriere is backing pipeline expansion STAFF REPORTER

Kamloops council hasn’t voted on issue

The District of Barriere has passed a motion supporting the proposed twinning of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline — a vote that may come to the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) board following next month’s civic election. Barriere Mayor Bill Humphreys, who is also chairman of the TNRD, said his council decided to formally back the pipeline, calling it something that will provide jobs and tax revenue for the district. “I said it’s about time we make a stand,” Humphreys said. “Our community has nothing against it. “We’ve asked, for two years, people in the region and the district — no one was against it.” Councillors voted unanimously in favour of a motion declaring support for the Trans Mountain pipeline project, even though the line runs outside

its boundaries, on the west side of the North Thompson River. Barriere is a town of about 1,800 resident, located 65 kilometres northeast of Kamloops. “Our council felt it was important that the people of British Columbia know that communities like Barriere rely on companies like Trans Mountain to help keep our towns working and prosperous,” read a statement from the municipality. Kinder Morgan submitted its proposal to the National Energy Board (NEB) in December 2013. The NEB will make a recommendation to the federal government in 2015 on whether to approve the project. Humphreys noted his municipality does not stand to directly benefit from taxes on the utility because it doesn’t run through the town. When the original pipeline was constructed in the early 1950, “they bought fuel and

CAM FORTEMS cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

people stayed here,” the mayor said. Kamloops council has not voted explicitly on the pipeline, but council did pass a motion earlier this month in favour of directing the new pipeline to follow a Telus right of way through Lac Du Bois rather than running the new pipeline line beside the current one through Westsyde neighbourhoods. City hall is also looking to Kinder Morgan to cover some of the largest expenses in its beautification plan for Brocklehurst along Tranquille Road. Humphreys said he looks on that as tacit support of the project. There has been discussion within the TNRD about a motion on the Trans Mountain line, something Humphreys said is more likely following the election of a new board on Nov. 15. Clearwater Mayor John Harwood said council in the town

of 2,300 about 124 kilometres northeast of Kamloops has not considered a similar motion, although it has publicly argued against the alternative — transport of petroleum products through the valley by road or rail. Harwood said Kinder Morgan and its predecessor companies have always been transparent and co-operative on safety planning and response. “With companies like CN [Rail}, we don’t see that,” he said, noting homeowners in his town don’t have a problem with twinning the pipeline on their properties. “Most people, even with a pipeline in their backyard, don’t have an objection to it,” Harwood said. Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar said a similar motion may come before Kamloops council following the election. “I’d see council wanting to have that debate. . . . It wouldn’t

surprise me,” he said. The District of Barriere estimates Kinder Morgan today pays more than $5.6 million in TNRD taxes, a number expected

to jump to $13 million if the twinning is approved and constructed. “We’ll ask them to come and make a presentation,” Humphreys

said of a regionaldistrict motion. “People will discuss what are the benefits to the region and they’ll decide whether to support it.”

LEFT OUT OF A WILL? Has your spouse or parent recently died leaving you little or nothing in his or her Will? Losing a parent or spouse can be devastating, and you may find yourself in a situation where his or her estate has left you with far less than you were expecting, or to which you may be entitled. In B.C, when a parent or spouse dies, you have a narrow window of time to challenge a Will. If a court finds that your parent or spouse hasn’t made adequate provision for you, it has the ability to change the Will. But, if you fail to bring a claim within the time limits, you will not be able to challenge the Will.

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

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent. But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal. I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

or heads of the city’s business and cultural organizations. The input session, one of two held on Wednesday, Oct. 22, was meant to take the pulse of residents on city service levels ahead of the preparation of the core budget. Council will pass a preliminary version of the document on Dec. 9, though there will still be time for changes in the months following. Finance director Sally Edwards said the city plans to set a final tax rate on April 14, 2015. Mayor Peter Milobar told KTW that while the turnout is lower than it was when the city offered its first core budget roundtable in fall 2013, he thinks the public will still be wellinvolved in the planning process. “We tend to focus a lot on today and tonight, totally forgetting all the public outreach we do in a year, all the community groups we talk with, all the committee work that gets done, that actually goes into formulating a lot of this document as well,” he said. Milobar suggested fewer people may have attended because there are fewer bigticket projects being pushed for this year, compared to years past where smelly lift sta-

tions, potential transit expansions and safety concerns around Todd Road galvanized many people. “It’s budget, let’s face it, it’s not everyone’s passion,” he said. “And, it doesn’t have to be. “That’s why a lot of people are comfortable electing people to review things and work on things.” This year’s budget will see the city facing some of the same challenges it tackled last year. While the city used to bring in $2 million or more a year in new revenue from growth, it will once again take in an estimated $1 million. “Growth is not paying for inflation,” Edwards said. The city’s investment income is again down and costs for transit and RCMP are increasing as usual. Maintaining roads, pipes and other infrastructure will also bring some major costs, as Kamloops has fallen somewhat behind on its capital project plans in recent years. Edwards said staff are in the process of going through the budget line by line, as has been the practice since David Trawin took over as city CAO. “People have to justify costs,” she said. “It’s not just a threeyear average.”

A provincial conservation group has objected to proposed routing of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline through Lac Du Bois. Kamloops-based Grasslands Conservation Council of B.C. (GCC) has asked the Minister of Environment to reject a proposed boundary adjustment to permit the routing. Kinder Morgan has indicated its preferred twinning of the Trans Mountain petroleum line would go through the park, along a Telus right of way, in order to avoid digging up yards in Westsyde, where the current line runs. Kamloops council has backed the option. GCC director Scott Benton said the group is disappointed other options weren’t explored. “The introduction of additional invasive plants, which devastate grasslands, is a major concern,” Benton said in a statement. Benton said the group wants to work with Kinder Morgan on the proposal. The proposed Trans Mountain line is in front of the National Energy Board for review.

BE SAVVY WITH SOCIAL MEDIA

acebook and other social media have played supporting roles in the last few elections, but the Nov. 15 civic election may be the first in which they can be seen to have a direct effect on the outcome. It’s already had a direct effect on one young aspirant to Penticton’s mayor’s chair, who declared his intention to run in the morning and withdrew in the evening after some inappropriate Facebook posts he made last year came to light. That’s a lesson learned for the young man — and one way social media has already affected the outcome of the Nov. 15 municipal election in the South Okanagan. There will certainly be others. People are talking about the change they want to see in politics using these platforms, which is a good thing and will make them a force on Nov. 15. Still, watching the discussion on social media, you see how often opinion gets substituted for fact and how fast discussions get hijacked or degenerate into personal attacks and other forms of abuse. The lesson here for voters, as social media becomes evermore a source of political information free from checks and balances, is to do your own research. As with all information that comes your way in life, fact-check and examine the source supplying it before deciding if it’s reliable — especially when using it to decide where to make your mark on a ballot. Most importantly, never vote based on someone else’s beliefs and judgements. Learn to separate opinion from fact and remember that even the most well-meaning people may be sharing inaccurate information.

Precisely preposterous

n the good-old days, you would drive downtown, park your car, grab some change from the ashtray and plug the coin-operated meters that never failed to remind one of E.T. You’d take a quarter, hold it vertically between your thumb and forefinger and flick your hand just so as you guided the silver heads of the Queen and moose through the narrow slot. One quarter for each halfhour. Sure, it was a pain in the ass that the grey parking meters did not accept anything less than a two-bit piece when your fingers flailed about inside the car, finding only dimes, nickels and pennies. But, all in all, it was simple, fast and effective: Park the car, grab some change, plug the meter and go about your business. Then, in a bid to rid Kamloops of the good-old days, city council decided to commit to spending a hell of a lot of money — $1.7 million — to modernize pay parking downtown, with the ultimate goal being to extract more money from those paying to park their vehicles. The city has always maintained pay parking downtown is not about generating revenue, but about prompting drivers to move vehicles so stalls open up for shoppers. Of course, that defence is shredded by the fact the city installed dozens of old-style parking meters (now replaced with the new kiosks) in the area of the YMCA-YWCA, where there already existed two-hour parking limits.

MUSINGS If the installation of the meters was not to generate revenue, but to encourage drivers to abide by the time limit — as claimed by the city at the time — such a goal could still be accomplished by having bylaw officers monitor the parking spaces and issue tickets when necessary, as they do now. That defence was also shredded after the new pay-parking system went live 11 months ago, when many old-style coinoperated meters adopted the new rates — double what they were before. It could have been a new Kamloops slogan: Twice the cost; half the convenience. Granted, the new meters, on paper, sounded like an improvement: Still only a buck an hour, an opportunity to pay for a third hour, payment by cash and credit card and, best of all, the ability to move from space to space to space without having to plug a meter again and again and again. On paper, it sounds fantastic; in practise, not so much — like communism, the First Avenue/ Lansdowne intersection and the annual unveiling of the Edmonton Oilers’ roster.

The Precise Parklink kiosks have been a nightmare for Kamloops, so much so city hall has its lawyers poring over the contract, no doubt searching for an “out” clause. The kiosks have had a nasty habit of breaking down constantly, due to some kind of malfunction between the solar-powered machines downtown and computer servers in France. Earlier this week, a number of kiosks on Victoria Street were down for four days, which was the fourth time in less than a year such a disruption had occurred. To add Three Stooges zaniness to this million-dollar dilemma, earlier this week, SIM cards were removed from kiosks in lesserused downtown stalls and inserted into the affected Victoria Street machines. It is no wonder one can feel the anger in the words of city staff members who are justifiably upset the expensive, new system has thus far been a bust, with poor design, maddeningly slow response time and a loan-sharklevel fee to pay by phone joining regular breakdowns to form an overall failing grade. Perhaps the powers-that-be who somehow decided this new system was good to go could learn from those making parking decisions in such locales as West Vancouver, Salmon Arm and Abbotsford, where similar headaches are not felt. But, when you have free parking downtown, with bylaw officers enforcing set time limits, you tend to need fewer doses of ibuprofen. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

METER

MAD

FOLLOWING THE LATEST GLITCH THAT AFFECTED THE CITY’S NEW PAY PARKING KIOSKS, YOU TOLD US WHAT YOU THINK OF THE 11MONTHOLD SYSTEM  AND, APPARENTLY, YOU DON’T THINK MUCH OF THE TECHNOLOGY Editor: The new system is a disaster! I now avoid doing any business downtown unless absolutely necessary. Gerry Paull Kamloops Editor: I have several problems with these meters: 1. The screen is very hard to read with black writing on a grey background. On a sunny day, you can’t see the screen. 2 . A real problem for seniors, who have never used this technology, is that most of them have not memorized their licence-plate numbers. 3. If the meter does not work, one has to walk around to find one that works. I could go on with more problems, but I don’t want to bore you. The City of Vernon installed these meters a few years ago and had nothing but problems. The city finally removed them all and went back to the old type of meters. That should tell us something. The City of Kamloops knew this before it went to the new meters. I think the whole thing was a cash grab. D. Lockie Kamloops

Editor: I had my first experience with the new meters last week. Choirs were meeting for a workshop at Kamloops United Church at Fourth Avenue and St. Paul Street. I arrived for setup on Oct. 17. I know my licence-plate number, so I expected no problem until I arrived in front of the meter and realized the instructions were completely unreadable with the glare on the screen. I tried unsuccessfully to do what would no doubt be instructions to pay, with no luck. I have had some trouble with long-

Editor: I appreciate the new parking meters for the following reason: 1. You can move around the downtown core and not have to pay again and again. Here are the reasons I do not appreciate the new parking meters: 1. In the winter, the reaction time is very slow and people have to wait in line to use it. Downtown can be windy and cold. Editor: I try not to go downtown because of the parking meters. I like the old coin-operated ones. I only put in what I need for the time. Lily Taylor Kamloops Editor: I know people who avoid shopping downtown because of the

distance walking, so trying to walk to a free space was not an option. Workers at the reconstruction at the church took pity on me and helped me make payment. The next day at the workshop, my husband drove me and picked me up. I have talked to many people, all of whom have had trouble reading the instructions. I loved going down Victoria Street and looking through the shops, but no more. By the way, I wear glasses and my eyesight is good with them. Jean Van Dolah Kamloops

2. They are not userfriendly. The other day on Third Avenue, below the hospital, a kiosk would only put 50 cents on my time and I could not get it to increase the time. I needed at least 1.5 hours to be in the hospital with my husband. 3. Sometimes there is a lineup of about five people. Some are in a hurry to get to an appointment. 4. I received a ticket last winter on a very cold day

parking meters. By all means, bring back the simple coin-operated ones. Eve Acheson Kamloops Editor: Without a doubt, they should go back to the good -old coin meters. They were simple and everybody could use them.

because my licence-plate number was entered incorrectly. I couldn’t check properly as it was so cold, half of it did not show up on the screen. City hall graciously forgave me, but I was told the next time they would hold me responsible. 5. The process is too slow. I love Kamloops. I have lived here for 40 years. It is my hometown. Deborah van Diemen Kamloops

I cannot count how many people, including tourists, I have heard cuss at those idiotic machines. Ernie Beadle Kamloops Editor: I want the coinoperated parking meters back. JoAnne Vigneault Kamloops

Editor: I hate those meters. Bring back the old ones. Shirley Krahn Kamloops Editor: We do not like these new meters and the old ones should be brought back. Mona Giesbrecht Kamloops

She piped up for boyfriend NOW, KAMLOOPS WOMAN IS ON PROBATION FOR A YEAR CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A shop owner and his employee in the midst of stopping what they believed was a downtown theft were both attacked by a pipe-wielding woman who was trying to protect her boyfriend from a citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest. Tracey Portelance, 40, pleaded guilty yesterday (Oct. 23) to two counts of assault with a weapon stemming from an incident in the afternoon of Oct. 13. Crown prosecutor Adrienne Murphy said the owner of Anything Paint & Autobody called a shop employee to help when he saw a man in a parking lot outside going through cars. The man, Portelanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coaccused, Robert Pattison, had his hoodie up and was

allegedly rifling through cars. Murphy said the shop owner grabbed the suspected thief by the backpack as he attempted to scale a fence and held him for a citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest until RCMP could arrive. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Portelance appeared and smashed the shop owner with a metal pipe she pulled from her purse. In the ensuing melee, Portelance also struck the autobody employee with the pipe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ms. Portelance did have a piece of pipe or baton [with her],â&#x20AC;? Murphy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an unusual item. It did appear she was using it for a purpose.â&#x20AC;? Portelance, who is from Kamloops, also pleaded guilty to possession of stolen property for an incident the month before

when she was caught by RCMP driving a stolen car. Articling student Eric Rines, who was defending Portelance, said her client has a limited criminal record, which occurred only recently.

Portelance has remained in custody since the arrest. Rines called the arrest and jailing â&#x20AC;&#x153;a wake-up callâ&#x20AC;? for the woman who has worked in past as a secretary, in data entry and customer service. Provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley sentenced Portelance to time already served in jail. She was also placed on probation for one year and has a curfew restricting her to her home during evenings. Portelance is also under a no-contact order with Pattison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re close to getting more time in jail here,â&#x20AC;? Cleavely said. Pattison faces a charge of break and enter. Allegations against him have not been proven or heard in court.

Homeowner sues city for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;errorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A Kamloops homeowner is suing the city for what he alleges was wrong information on location of sewer pipes at his property â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an error that cost $4,200. Darren James Abraham filed the allegation in small claims court. The claim alleges in April of

this year, a city employee provided incorrect information over the phone about the location of a sewer line. A contractor dug for hours in vain. It was later discovered the pipe was located 3.5 metres west of the water main â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not east.

Abraham claimed a city insurer refused to cover his costs that included for digging in the wrong area as well as landscaping to repair the ground work. The City of Kamloops has yet to file a statement of defence. The claims have not been proven or heard in court.

An increase in roadkill on Kamloops streets is impacting city hall’s bottom line. Jon Wilson, the city’s community safety and enforcement manager, spoke at this week’s police-committee meeting, where he noted 142 dead animals have been removed from Kamloops streets so far this year — up from 101 in 2013. Wilson pointed to a possible spike in deer numbers as a factor. “We used to have an [bylaw] officer go out and pick up these animals, but they weren’t necessarily wellequipped to do it, so we ended up switching it to a large-animal contract,” he said. “There’s a fee for each animal and that impacts our budget every time we pay it.” Wilson said the contractor charges $225 per animal.

Mueller told the city’s police-committee meeting that he expects to hear back about the grant within the next couple of weeks. He said the application came after an increase in domesticviolence cases involving specific cultural groups. Mueller pointed specifically toward cultures in which arranged marriage is commonplace. “When I say increase, I mean we’ve certainly had a few cases here recently,” he said. “We’ve identified that we need to get some more information and training for our people.” Mueller said the training would likely be a one-time workshop for police officers, justice officials and community partners.

Honour-based violence training

Transient camps are a growing problem for the City of Kamloops’ bylaw officers. Wilson said the number of camps has more than doubled in 2014, with officers having dismantled 243 setups this year, compared

BRIEFS to 118 in 2013. “Officers have spent a lot of time removing transient camps,” he said. Wilson said “obvious garbage” is disposed of, but other items — clothing, bedding and medication, for example — are kept in storage for retrieval. He said anyone looking to retrieve items from dismantled transient camps should contact the ASK Wellness Centre at 250376-7558 about how to do so.

Graffiti growing in Tournament Capital

This year has been a big one in the Tournament Capital graffiti taggers. Ronnie Bouvier, executive director of the Kamloops Graffiti Task Force, said a total of 133,000 square feet of property had been hit with graffiti through September. “Riverside has been our worst park,” she said at the city’s co-

She said the task force is looking into coating memorial benches in a material that will make graffiti easier to remove.

More cash for Ribfest policing?

Kamloops Mounties may require additional funding in the future to keep Ribfest a familyfriendly event, according to the city’s top cop. Mueller told the city’s co-ordinated enforcement task force meeting that, to this point, the local detachment has been able to adequately supervise the growing annual event without charging overtime. “We had a large contingent of officers assigned to policing that event,” he said. “Certainly, you could require more officers to police that event. “We want to make sure it continues to be a family-friendly event. “We really need to look at how we’re going to provide those policing services moving forward.”

There’s another Car 40 on Kamloops’ streets — but Mounties aren’t saying much about it. Instead, Mueller said he’s going to wait for a public unveiling of the updated program later this fall. Car 40 was launched last year as a way of helping people who have mental-health issues. The program, run in partnership between the Kamloops RCMP and the Interior Health Authority, sees a specially trained nurse accompany a police officer on calls involving mental-health issues. There had only been one Car 40 unit in Kamloops until the second vehicle was launched on Sept. 15.

Spitting-mad man gets 28 days CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A provincial court judge has admonished a Quesnel man whose rampage included spitting on a police officer, which required the Mountie to take an anti-viral cocktail. “I’m sure if someone asked you if you’d rather be punched in the face or spat on — I’m included in this — you’d rather be punched,” Judge David St. Pierre told Brandon O’Flynn. O’Flynn pleaded guilty on Oct. 20 to assault of a peace officer, two counts of

mischief and three counts of breaches of court orders stemming from an incident in Kamloops on July 19. Kamloops RCMP responded to a call about a woman in North Kamloops near the North Thompson River who was drunk and disorderly. They found her passed out on a driveway on Chestnut Avenue. A man was seen running from the scene. Following a foot chase, O’Flynn — who was under a no-contact order with the woman — was arrested. At the squad car, he

spat in the face of one of the arresting officers. Crown prosecutor Adrienne Murphy called it a “very serious assault” that required the officer to undergo an anti-viral drug regimen to ensure his safety. Once in police cells, O’Flynn repeatedly smashed the electronic-monitoring device around his ankle. When he was offered a phone at the detachment to call his lawyer, O’Flynn pulled the unit from the wall. “He acknowledges he shouldn’t have been there and shouldn’t have been drinking,”

said articling student Jeremy Knight, who represented O’Flynn. St. Pierre sided with the defence submission of 28 days jail, or time already served. O’Flynn will also serve one-year probation and pay $700 in victim-fine surcharges. He was arrested in Quesnel earlier this month following a breach of his recognizance and had been jailed since. Knight said O’Flynn has pleaded not guilty and a trial is set in January on a charge that he assaulted his girlfriend at a camping area outside Kamloops

The superintendent of the KamloopsThompson school district canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why the head of the teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; union in the city wants SD73 to violate the collective agreement. Karl de Bruijn said a demand by David Komljenovic, president of the KamloopsThompson Teachers Association (KTTA), that teachers receive an extra dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pay as part of the return-to-work agreement accompanying the new contract with the provincial B.C. Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation. The day in question is Friday, Sept. 19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teachers were paid for that day already,â&#x20AC;? de Bruijn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, David is asking for them to be

paid again for that day.â&#x20AC;? In fact, de Bruijn said, Komljenovic has confirmed in writing to the district teachers received payment for the Friday they spent preparing for classes to begin on Sept. 22. In a letter to schoolboard chair Denise Harper, sent on Oct. 8, Komljenovic wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we recognize that the payments and deductions were done correctly calculated according to the collective agreement, we note that there are a number of districts with similar contract language who have been paid an additional day.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have received numerous grievances [from the KTTA] alleging violations of the collective agreement in some way and now I have a request from him to violate the col-

lective agreement and pay teachers for an additional day they have already been paid for,â&#x20AC;? de Bruijn said. In the KamloopsThompson district, as in several other school districts throughout the province, teachers are not paid by the day but are paid an annual contract salary based on the average of 195 working or instructional days each school year, board treasurer Kelvin Stretch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any instructional days not worked are deducted at 1/195th of the annual contract amount,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As required by the collective agreement, teachers are paid an equal 1/20th of their annual contract salary, semi-monthly, September to June, regardless of the actual number of working/

instructional days within each individual pay period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, in December of this year, the first pay period has 11 working days and the second has just four working days, but the pay will be exactly the same for both periods.â&#x20AC;? The pay issue began earlier this month when teachers in Coquitlan said they were not paid for Sept. 19. In a document explaining the return-to-work agreement and how it impacts pay, BCPSEA wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The position taken by the union and reported by various media is incorrect. Teachers in the Coquitlan school district were paid for all the days worked in September, including Sept. 19, in accordance with their collectiveagreement language. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It remains BCPSEAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice that school districts follow their local collective agreement language to determine the correct and agreed-upon approach to teacher pay for this September.

HOW WE MET The language of friendship JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Layla Liu, 21, and Sarah Li, 23, have a break before math class. The international students are chatting away, sitting among tables of their peers on the second floor of the Old Main Building at Thompson Rivers University. They’ve known each other for about 18 months and met during ESL university-prep classes at the school. They were learning English when they found common ground. “Her from the south,” Layla says. “She,” Sarah says, correcting Layla. The two Chinese students met in Kamloops, but it’s not likely they would have met back home. Layla is from the province of Hebei, with a population in the 70-million range — double that of Canada. Sarah is from Hunan, with a comparable population. Layla is fond of a Chinese television show that originated near Sarah’s home. It’s what they talked about when they first met.

They have since completed their prep classes, but they’re shy about their English. Speaking the language is new to them because they mostly studied reading and writing back home. “We didn’t use English in China,” Layla says. Now, they’re each studying business. They have more classes together and call each other friends. With their families far away from the Tournament Capital — Layla’s cousin is studying at TRU, but Sarah came to Kamloops alone — they enjoy cooking Chinese food together. Hot pots are their favourite. “It’s easy and we can all sit together,” Layla says. They each have a couple of years until they obtain degrees — but, they’re not sure whether they will head back to China upon graduation. Until then, they’ll practise English, share memories of home and head to math class.

PHYLLIS MARION PARKES (DUNNE)

GERALD VEZINA 1935 - 2014

December 10, 1912 – October 21, 2014

After a long illness, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather at Kamloops Seniors Village on Sunday, October 19, 2014.

Phyllis left us very peacefully at Pine Grove Care Centre in the early hours of October 21, just a few weeks short of her 102nd birthday. What a wonderful life! She is survived by her son, Dick (Joy) Parkes, grandchildren Sonja Myllymaki, Erik (Erin) Myllymaki, Dale Parkes, Holly (Murray) Lester, Jessica (Scott) Rouse and by greatgrandchildren Mya, Jordyn, Cole, Rya, Austin and Kye. Phyllis was predeceased by her husband, Vincent Parkes, her brother Leslie Dunne, her sisters Madge Goudie and Nell Morgan and her daughter Miriam McLean. Phyllis was one of the first babies born in the new Royal Inland Hospital on Columbia Street and was featured as the Christmas baby with the nurses and shown in a photo in the Kamloops Inland Sentinel. Her parents were homesteaders in the Sorrento/Blind Bay area and she grew up on the shores of Shuswap Lake. Pioneering life was difficult, but Phyllis thrived on it, travelling about 3 miles to Blind Bay School every day on her horse, Knobby, or skating along the shoreline in the winter. She was her mother’s message carrier and learned about helping others by delivering letters and parcels to the other settlers in the area. Phyllis attended high school in Salmon Arm and at Kamloops High School and then went on to nurses training at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Victoria. In her second year there, she was a victim of the flu epidemic which turned into pneumonia and affected her heart. On the advice of her doctor she was forced to drop out of the nursing program. After a long recovery she began working as a receptionist in a doctor’s office in Salmon Arm where she rekindled a teenage friendship with Vincent Parkes, eventually resulting in their engagement. Vincent was called to England in 1937 to help out an aging uncle with his farm and when the uncle passed away and left him the farm, Vincent knew he was going to be remaining in England for some time. He asked Phyllis to come over and join him, which she did, and they were married on April 10, 1939. Their 20-room farmhouse (formerly a monastery) was overflowing during the war years with evacuees from Liverpool and London, visiting Canadian servicemen and prisoners of war. The Queen Mother sent Phyllis a letter and Women’s Voluntary Service badge expressing her thanks for their efforts in housing the evacuees. Their daughter Miriam was born in 1941 and their son Dick in 1944. They were finally able to purchase passage back to Canada in 1947, the farm was sold and the family returned to Canada. Upon arriving back in Kamloops, Phyllis immediately immersed herself in the community by becoming an active member in many organizations. Assisting Vincent with the establishment of Salmon Lake Fishing Camp in 1950 kept Phyllis busy cleaning cabins, cooking, looking after reservations and raising her family. The Camp was sold in 1957 and most summers were spent afterwards at the family cabins on Shuswap Lake. Phyllis always had a large, colourful flower garden to compliment Vincent’s famous vegetable plot. Phyllis joined the Canadian Red Cross in 1918 at age six and this was her favourite organization and she continued being an active member until her 97th year. She was also a member of the Y.M.C.A., Civil Defense, John Howard Society, Royal Inland Hospital Auxiliary among others, and received many awards and certificates over the years for her volunteerism. After a stroke in 2011, she moved into Pine Grove Care Centre where she resided until her passing. She was fortunate to have Kay Davies as her caring roommate while she was there. The family would like to gratefully acknowledge her favourite nurse, Teresa, and the rest of the wonderful staff at Pine Grove for their loving care and compassion over the past 3 years. A memorial service will be held for Phyllis at St. Mary’s Church, Sorrento at 2:00 PM on Wednesday, October 29, 2014, Reverend Bruce Chalmers officiating. Reception to follow.

RICHARD DELACHEROIS Mr. Richard O’Donell Delacherois “Dick” passed away peacefully on October 20, 2014, at the age of 92. Lovingly remembered by his children, Dianne, Karen (Paul), Rick (Kate), and his grandchildren Barkley, Brent (Jung Ah), Jonathan (Sonia), Jessi, Rachel, Stephanie, and Emily. He also has three greatgrandchildren Mischa, Sarah, and Mateo. He was predeceased by the love of his life Valerie (1994), his brothers Louis, Fred, and Father Anselm. Dick was born in Revelstoke on December 22, 1921 to Gaspard Alex Delacherois and Catherine Mary Mrack. In his youth he played hockey, baseball and ski-jumped. He was enlisted in the air force and earned his wings as a wireless air gunner in World War II. He worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway for 40 years, as a telegrapher and eventually a stationmaster. Through his career with CP Dick and Valerie lived in Field, Taft, Vernon, Agassiz and Penticton, where he retired in 1982. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus in the fourth degree, charter member of the Agassiz/Harrison Lions Club, had 46 years of service with the Royal Canadian Legion. He was an avid golfer and played until he was 87. A funeral mass will be held at Holy Family Church on October 25th, 2014 at 1:00 PM with Father Fred Weisbeck officiating. Should friends desire, donations may be made to the BC Cancer Society or a charity of their choice.

Gerald was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec and in 1969 moved his family to Kamloops where he worked on the construction of the pulp mill. He was the founding President of the Kamloops French Francophone Association, a scout leader and belonged to the Jaycees. In his later years he worked on many projects around the world. He travelled the world with his spouse and loved to spend his free time on his sailboat. He is survived by his spouse Huguette, children Louise (Rob), Mike, Luc and Marc (Kim), ten grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Gerald will be missed by his family and friends. We would like to thank Dr. D. Hamilton and all the staff at Kamloops Seniors Village for their support and care. A celebration of his life will be set for the spring prior to his final journey back to Montreal where his ashes will rest.

HELEN ANNE SHEPHERD January 10, 1929-October 11, 2014

“Thankfulness is alive in the midst of sorrow”

Anne Shepherd died peacefully at her home on a beautiful sunny day with her loving husband by her side. She is survived by her husband of almost 62 years, Dr. W. Earl Shepherd, her children John (Verna), Cathy Coates, Heather Koots (Don), and Nancy Sulse (Joseph), 10 grandchildren whom she adored (and their spouses) and 6 much loved great-grandchildren. Also survived by her sister Eleanor (Marc) and 4 nieces and nephews. Anne was born in Chengdu, China where her father, Dr. T. Harry Williams was a medical missionary from 1920-1942. Although life in the mission fields was challenging, she shared happy memories of birds, flowers, and people she knew then. Evacuated to India in 1942 due to war, the family returned home to Winnipeg where she attended high school, university and nursing school and met Earl at the age of 15, starting a life together that spanned more than 70 years. After they married in 1952, they moved to Vancouver where she nursed at Vancouver General Hospital and as a private duty nurse. Moving to Kamloops in 1968, she returned to university to study early childhood education and then opened her own pre-school where she gave her warm and loving support to many young children. In 1981, she and Earl moved to Chilliwack where they spent 21 years and made many close friends before they returned to Vancouver in 2002 so that they could enjoy the opera, symphony, and other cultural things which were dear to both of them. A focal point of Anne’s life was her involvement in her children’s activities and support of her community and church. From the parent teacher association in 1960 to helping at a seniors centre (when she was 75!), she was someone who could always be counted on to give joyfully of her time, her energy, and her financial support for the betterment of her community. These activities are far too numerous to list but anyone who knew her will remember her dedication and her efforts; it was said that she had probably baked thousands upon thousands of muffins in her busy days! Memorial service will be held at RYERSON UNITED CHURCH, 2195 W 45th Avenue, Vancouver on Saturday, November 1 at 1:00 PM; reception to follow at the church. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Vancouver Opera, 1945 McLean Drive, Vancouver, BC, V5N 3J7 would be graciously appreciated.

For my sake turn again to life and smile, nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine. Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine and I perchance may therein comfort you. MARY LEE HALL

WolfPack look to build on win ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

t had been more than two years since the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women’s volleyball team put one in the win column. Before TRU won its first match of the season on the weekend against the University of Calgary Dinos — 3-2 on Friday, Oct. 17 — it had gone 49 straight matches, dating back to 2012, without winning a third set. The club’s last victory had come on Feb. 10, 2012, a 3-2 defeat of the UBC-Okanagan Heat of Kelowna. TRU now has that slump behind it and is relieved to be able to move on. “That was beautiful, to be able to know that we can win, we can compete with these teams, just to settle the years of people shoving it in our faces that we hadn’t won yet,” second-year middle Kaitlin Lomas said. “Now we can say, ‘Hey, we have won, we are a good team and we can compete in the CIS.’” Lomas was a part of the 2013-2014 WolfPack that went winless in 18 games under former head coach Keith Lundgren before current skipper Chad Grimm took over.

On Oct. 17, Kaitlin Lomas (right) and the TRU WolfPack posted their first win in Canadian Interuniversity Sport play since 2012. The Pack had gone 48 matches without a victory. TRU’s women are hosting two matches this weekend.

She said the attitude of, and atmosphere around, the team have changed under its new bench boss. Players now have more freedom to make adjustments based on what they’re seeing on the court and there is more open communication. Playing at TRU has become a lot more fun, too. “It was a relief, for sure, to have that win. [There’s] less pressure,” Lomas said. “But, it also creates more pressure in that now that we have that win, we have to continue the competitiveness

and create more wins.” The WolfPack will open their home schedule at the Tournament Capital Centre this weekend, facing the UBC Thunderbirds (2-2) tonight (Oct. 24) and tomorrow. The games will get underway at 6 p.m. and 5 p.m., respectively. Grimm is hoping his club can keep things rolling, with a little bit of confidence to work with. The coach said this is only the beginning of what fans can expect from the women’s squad this season. “I think we have a lot of new faces, but

also a lot of girls that had a lot of potential and just were maybe not in a space that they could just go out and play the game,” he said. “They’re [fans] not going to see a team go out on the floor and not be competitive with whoever we meet.”

Pack men seek first victory tonight

Coming off a trip to the Canada West Final Four last season, the WolfPack men’s volleyball team’s 0-4 start to 2014-2015 has been less than ideal. The club is hoping it can turn things around this weekend,

when it opens its home schedule against the UBC Thunderbirds at the TCC. The Pack lost their first two series of the season on the road, falling to the Trinity Western University Spartans and the University of Calgary Dinos. But, the team has also been dealing with some issues beyond its control. “We’ve certainly had our share of injuries,” WolfPack head coach Pat Hennelly told KTW. “Getting a stable six out has been an issue. “At one point, in Calgary, we had four first-year guys on the floor and I didn’t project any of them to even travel this year.” Most notably, the WolfPack have been playing without two of their main offensive weapons — outside hitter Casey Knight and right-side Brad Gunter. Knight seems to be on his way to making his return — Hennelly said the 6-foot-8 veteran started jumping in practice this week and may be available for the weekend. Gunter, however, is out for another two to four weeks. His finger was in a brace when he spoke to KTW, having been dislocated — the bone broke through the skin — in the team’s first series against Trinity. See GRUNDMANN, page A20

TRU coaches reflect on CIS soccer season ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

From provincial champions to division basement dwellers, the transition to the ranks of Canadian Interuniversity Sport hasn’t been easy for the TRU WolfPack’s soccer programs. But, the Kamloops clubs showed enough promise in their inaugural seasons to leave their coaches eager for the future. “I think, overall, I was fairly happy with the season in regards to the progress of a lot of players,” men’s head coach John Antulov said. “I understood going into the season it was going to be a tough go.” The WolfPack men finished the season with a 2-8-2 record, picking up both victories and a tie in three of their final four matches. Antulov said he spoke with Alan Errington, head coach of the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades, earlier this week about the WolfPack’s start. The Cascades’ bench boss praised the Pack, noting that in his first season in the CIS, UFV “got hammered.” “He said, ‘Put it into perspective. You got two wins, two ties, four other games were very close, so you should be happy with that,’” Antulov recalled. On paper, the

WolfPack has some work to do as the club gave up the second most goals in the Pacific division (24), while scoring the fewest markers (five). But, the club should be able to learn from its first season in Canada’s elite ranks, as the vast majority of its players will return next season. It’s a similar situations for TRU’s 1-10-1 women’s team, which scored nine goals (tied for the division’s fewest) while surrendering 25 markers (second-most). “Obviously, it was not what we had hoped to get, but it was kind of what I expected, with the way the other teams were playing and everything, the physicality of it,” women’s head coach Tom McManus said. The women, too, will return most of their roster, but will part ways with long-time starting goalkeeper Emily Edmundson and former Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association all-Canadian Bronwyn Crawford. McManus said a scorer, as well as a keeper, will top his offseason recruiting wish list. “It was a good year,” McManus said, echoing Antulov’s sentiments. “I wasn’t thoroughly disappointed. [I was] disappointed because I hate losing, but it’s one of those things. “We’ll regroup and be ready for next year.”

Grundmann emerging for Pack From page A19

“These past two weekends have been a real struggle,” Gunter said. In 2013-2014, he led the nation in kills per set (5.31) and points (404.5). “I can’t wait to get back. I think we’ll do so much better.” The lone positive to come from the WolfPack’s shorthanded start might be the emergence of some of the squad’s younger members. Hennelly described second-year hitter Randy Grundmann as the team’s best player thus far, which bodes well for the future and the 6-foot-4 Winnipeg native. He will slot into vacancies left by retiring veterans Knight and Stuart Richey at

the end of this season. Grundmann leads the team in kills (48) and points (53.5). “It’s obviously the beginning of the season. “We’re trying to fix a few things that we worked on in the pre-season.

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 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.

Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hudson takes the mound PITCHER RELISHING FIRST WORLD SERIES START AFTER 16 YEARS

JOSH DUBOW

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In the middle of a champagne-and-beer-soaked clubhouse after the San Francisco Giants won the NL Championship Series, Tim Hudson was given the chance to speak to his team. The message was as simple as Hudsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach on the mound: â&#x20AC;&#x153;World Series, baby!â&#x20AC;? After 16 years, 214 regular-season wins and seven failed trips to the post-season, Hudson has finally made it to baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest stage, at age 39. Hudson is set to take the mound tonight (Oct. 24) for the Giants when they return home to face Jeremy Guthrie and the Royals in Game 3 of the World Series. The teams split the first two games in Kansas City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think everybody

thinks about it every year they play,â&#x20AC;? Hudson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously when you go 16 years without having been able to experience something like this, you wonder if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m no different than anybody.â&#x20AC;? Hudsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brilliant career began on the other side of San Francisco Bay, as he helped Oakland make four straight trips to the post-season. They all ended with Game 5 losses in the division series. Hudson got back to the playoffs with Atlanta, losing in the division series in 2005 to Houston and in 2010 to San Francisco. The Braves made it again last year when Hudson was hurt, but lost again in the division series. After signing a $23-million, two-year contract this off-season with San Francisco,

Hudson finally got to experience post-season success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming off my injury last year, I knew that I probably donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of years left,â&#x20AC;? Hudson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a huge reason I came here to San Francisco. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfolding just how I figured it would.â&#x20AC;? Hudson got nodecisions in his first two post-season starts, allowing five runs in 13-and-twothirds innings against Washington and St. Louis. The limited work of late has paid dividends. Hudson looks much fresher than he did in September, when he went 0-4 with an 8.72 ERA in five starts to end the season. He was also while dealing with a bum hip. Despite being picked as an all-star for the fourth time in his career, Hudson was not at his best in the

regular season and his 9-13 record was the first losing mark of his career. But he managed 31 starts over 189-andone-third innings in his comeback from a broken ankle and has been a key contributor in the post-season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a veteran, been around a long time, seen a lot of stuff,â&#x20AC;? Giants ace Madison Bumgarner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He brings a lot to the table, and I feel like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still as good as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever been.â&#x20AC;? Hudson has a 214124 career record with a 3.45 ERA. The only pitchers with more wins and a better winning percentage since the Second World War are Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, Mike Mussina, Jim Palmer and Pedro Martinez. The Royalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Guthrie had a long wait just to get to the playoffs. He made his first post-season appearance at age

35, when he allowed one run in five innings of a no-decision against Baltimore in Game 3 of the ALCS. That start is Guthrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only outing the past four weeks; he did not pitch in the division-series sweep against the Angels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tremendous clubhouse presence, too, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a guy with a lot of experience,â&#x20AC;? Royals manager Ned Yost said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a very outgoing personality, and he helps all of our Latin guys. He has the unique ability to be able to enjoy all types of players that we have in our locker room.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He can converse with the Latin guys on their level. He can converse with the American guys. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really mastered Japanese yet for him to be there with Nori [Aoki] much, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a really fun guy to be around.â&#x20AC;?

WHITECAPS EYE PLAYOFF SPOT The Vancouver Whitecaps controlt their own destiny tomorrow (Oct. 25) as they play host to Colorado Rapids in their regular-season finale. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. at B.C. Place Stadium. The Whitecaps are 11-8-14 on the season, while the Rapids are 8-17-8. If the Whitecaps win, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re off to the MLS Cup playoffs. Should they lose, the club will need help from FC Dallas to make it to the post-season. The Whitecaps are unbeaten in their last four matches, heading into Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest. The Rapids are winless in their last 13, though they defeated Vancouver in both of the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; previous meetings this year.

Mankind meets nature DALE BASS

hotographer Edward Burtynsky sees the world through many lenses. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the obvious one

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the two eyes he uses daily as he goes about his activities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the lenses of his cameras and the world he sees through them. The Toronto-based photographer looks at nature and sees what mankind has done to it, how we have

used it, shaped it, moulded it, abandoned it and, in doing so, creates images that find beauty even in the way we mould our environment. That gift, to create compelling images of nature and how humans live with and use it, led to

The run-around after crossing the finish line Eight pounds of reasons why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to skip out on the next big race

had three kilometres to go and all I wanted to do was sit on my couch and have a beer. But, I convinced myself I could finish the measly mileage. Keep going, I told myself. My legs were dead, my stomach in knots and the road kicked back hard with every foot on pavement, accelerating me closer to my goal of completing a half-marathon. Three kilometres. Keep going, keep moving. I was almost done â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or so I thought. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four kilometres,â&#x20AC;? she yelled, directing us, cheering loudly and completely unaware she had shattered all of my focus, dreams and sanity. Four kilometres? Four?!

JESSICA WALLACE

Generation

GAP

It was a slight 1,000metre miscalculation on my part and a major buzzkill, but I eventually crossed the finish line that day. The soul-crushing cheerleader survived my wrath, too. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dwell over the kilometre in the end, either, because I was done. Instead, I flopped down on the grass, took off my shoes and socks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ahhh â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and headed for the

p pancake line. I ran 22 kilometres, w which translated into a many as 22 panas c cakes in my mind, and I gobbled down my f food faster than you c say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aunt Jemima.â&#x20AC;? can It was my first event o its kind and I was of p proud of the feat. I was so proud, in fact, I felt I deserved a reward for all of my hard work, more than my heaping plate of syrupy deliciousness. I decided I had earned a complete break from exercise. That was three months ago. Now, 13 weeks, eight pounds and a faint memory of crossing the finish line later, I blame running a halfmarathon for my current state of being out of shape. I was an everyday Forest Gump for a few months there.

Then, I finished the run and I achieved my goal. Yay, me! I was done. I could take the rest of the summer off as far as I was concerned. Which I did. And, now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m taking fall off, too. Possibly winter. I am living out my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite joking excuse for skipping out on fitness: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in good enough shape to run five miles, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in good enough shape not to.â&#x20AC;? I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. And, now I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Every time I try to get into a new exercise routine post-woohooI-did-a-half-marathon, I think about how much work it was: The training, the rest, the organization, the motivation. All of that healthy

stuff for way too long. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t motivate myself to put on pants most nights, let alone yoga pants that make me feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m stuffing the Michelin man into a pair of Lululemons. At this point, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even believe I had finished the run if it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the photographic evidence. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried going back to the gym. But, I ultimately end up on the lazy bike â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you know, that one on which you can sit back and lounge, much like a couch. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly get a good sweat on. The whole homeworkout thing hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worked, either. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m worried my neighbour will catch a glimpse of me doing burpees in my living room and call 911 because of all the flailing and dry heaving. I should probably

just fork out the cash for a personal trainer, someone to really yell at me and hold me accountable. But then, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d much rather spend my hardearned cash on, well, anything else. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not so worried about how my clothes fit. After all, I love wearing sweats and boyfriend sweaters. I am slightly concerned, however, of the slippery slope. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite figured out how to

motivate myself and prevent the obvious health risks that come with being on your way to becoming 3,000 pounds. In hindsight, maybe I should have kept at least a mild exercise routine going after running that halfmarathon. At some point, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to sit down on my couch with a beer and figure it all out. jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

ANSWERS TO THE CROSSWORD ON PAGE B26

Q: Why do some green arrow traffic lights flash, not others? A: City of Kamloops traffic and transportation engineer Elnaz Ansari said each green arrow is different. The steady, or solid, arrow is called a protected left-turn phase. “This means that all the green time is dedicated to the left-turning motorists while the arrow is green,” Ansari said. The flashing green arrow is called a protected-permissive phase. “This means that when the flashing arrow stops, the exclusive or protected left-turn movement has ended,” Ansari said. That likely means oncoming traffic will be allowed through towards you — so look both ways.

Tourist in own town, exploring Vancouver JANE CASSIE

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

A few months ago, my husband and I took our grandson, Keegan, to a few Victoria attraclov tions and he loved i his being a tourist in own town. Well, now it’s my turn. And, a as a th Vancouverite, the options seem en endless. I decide to st stretch must-s the sight must-sees three-day into a three-day-long an extravaganza and, instead of going solo, ask a few people to join. The first is my sister, a life-long artist, who is the perfect sidekick for teaching me about the city’s culture. She suggests the Vancouver Art Gallery. “Douglas Coupland is known as Canada’s Renaissance Man and his exhibit is running until September,” she says. “Or, maybe the M.O.A. (Museum Of Anthropology) at UBC.” Hearing the last acronym conjures up memories. The university is in the area where we were raised. With a yearning to see the “old hood,” we start with the second option. Sunshine filters into the Great Hall and highlights a number of Northwest Coast installations. We admire Salish carvings, Kwakwaka’wakw houses and Haida totems. Steps beyond is The

JANE CASSIE PHOTO/TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES An aquabus provided both transportation and a unique tour of False Creek during a day exploring Vancouver.

Raven and the First Men, a popular sculpture by the legendary Bill Reid. Adjacent are two other galleries; Without Masks, a collection of intriguing Afro-Cuban artworks, and the Multiversity Galleries, where more than 10,000 globally-derived objects are displayed. “It’s mind-boggling,” I say, while attempting to absorb it all. “Don’t even try,” my sister advises. “We just have time for a sampling.” She’s right. Before I know it, we’re off to our next cultural venue. Granville Island is a mecca for the arts. Performers, theatre

and exhibits eclectically fuse with tasty treats and creative works. We meander the boardwalk, peek into galleries, then board an Aquabus Ferry for a False Creek tour. It’s a grand finale to our sister sojourn and one that provides us with a different perspective of this city we call home. Sue Fisher, a close colleague and longtime friend, is my second sight-touring bud. For two decades, we worked side-by-side as nurses in a program that supported chronically ill children. Now retired, it’s time for fun and excitement, which we find on Vancouver’s North Shore.

“We can do it!” I say dubiously as we wobble over the walkway. “Tourists have been crossing this for years.” Since 1889, the Capilano Suspension Bridge has been raising heart rates with its sensational sights — and heights. After traversing the span that hangs 70 meters (230 feet) above the raging river, we’re privy to the Treetops Adventure, a compilation of seven forest-enshrouded boardwalks. Although these are both adrenaline secretors, it’s the Cliffwalk that really gets our pulses pounding. The cantilevered platforms, narrow walkways and rockhugging stairs assure

one a hair-raising canyon view. Stunning vistas are also provided on the nearby Grouse Mountain Skyride. While soaring above the evergreens, we drink in the city scene. And, soon after disembarking at the peak, have more adventures to choose from: Helitours, paragliding, grizzlies, oh my! Fortunately, the latter have their living quarters in a spacious five-acre playpen. In the adjacent field, other wildlife stars take flight. Owls, hawks and falcons are today’s performers in the Birds in Motion, a show that provides a close-up perspective of these

incredible creatures. “We could get airborne too,” Sue says, reading about other activity options. “Mountain Ziplines is the next best thing to flying!” The five-line circuit reaches heights of 70m/200ft and speeds of 80km/hr. “I’ll pass on this heart-thumper,” I respond. “The skyride back down is enough adventure for me.” I actually enjoy this tram so much that, two days later, I talk my husband and final sightseeing companion into joining me on Squamish’s new Sea to Sky Gondola. It’s too bad the clouds rolled

in by then. Our 10-minute ride, which glides 885 meters above sea level, would otherwise offer sweeping views of Shannon Falls, Howe Sound and unfolding peaks. But, there’s still lots of action in store. While die-hard rock climbers and hikers head off to craggy cliffs and backcountry trails, we scout out two nearby interpretive walks, waddle our way over the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge and enjoy a hot bevie in the Summit Lodge Tea House. “Even on a gray day, this summit is pretty impressive,” Brent says. The nearby Vancouver Lookout is the perfect place to finalize this sightseeing extravaganza. With the clouds now dispersed, we have a 360-degree panorama view from the observation deck. Historical Gastown, lively Coal Harbour, lush Stanley Park, the sapphire Pacific and beyond — all the way to the Olympic Peninsula that fringes the horizon. “It’s a beautiful city to live in,” Brent says, while we take in the view. “And, it’s a great place to be a tourist in your own town,” I reply.
