City looking at alternating Overlanders construction traffic ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops may begin alternating the flow of traffic on one of the three open lanes on Overlanders Bridge — but only if the third lane stays open for more than a few days next week.

Capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said the city expects its contractor, Innovative Civil Constructors Inc., will have both southbound lanes on the bridge closed for rehabilitation by the middle of next week.

However, if that’s not the case, the city will ask the contractor to change its traffic control so drivers can take advantage of two southbound lanes during morning commute and two northbound lanes in the afternoon.

Crundwell said the city hasn’t put counter-flow measures in place because the amount of time three lanes will be available is minimal — once the bridge goes to two lanes, it will stay that way for months.

The third lane was kept open to accommodate Boogie the Bridge, which takes place this Sunday.

“It takes a good few hours on either side of that time to move our traffic control back from two lanes south to two lanes north, so that’s why we didn’t do it,” Crundwell said.

“We do realize there could be some efficiencies in traffic movement to do that, but it’s such a short duration and weekends aren’t really relevant in terms of traffic volume, so we would have really only benefitted from it this week — and there is a significant cost.”

Crundwell said alternating lanes would begin on Wednesday if the second lane on the bridge isn’t yet blocked off.

The Tranquille Road overpass will also remain open next week as the city waits on a part from

City officials are floating the idea of having two lanes of Overlanders Bridge traffic head south each morning, with two lanes headed north each evening in hopes of relieving some of the congestion caused by ongoing construction.

Ontario, which will likely arrive in a few weeks.

The city estimates the overpass will be closed for four weeks once the part arrives as resurfacing and repairs are done.

The exit to the bridge from the Tranquille Market is and will remain closed to regular traffic throughout construction.

So far, the contractor is focusing its attention on the western sidewalk of the bridge, which requires structural repairs to improve its safety for pedestrians and motorists below, due to bits of concrete shedding from the supports.

Workers have removed the

MORE CAMERAS TO COME? A webcam mounted above Overlanders Bridge is proving popular as five months of construction get underway on the city’s busiest crossing — so much so that drivers are looking for views of other routes affected by the work.

However, city capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said placing cameras at the intersection of Halston Avenue and Highway 5 and on the Red Bridge, the alternate routes for those looking to cross from the south to north shores, is up to the Ministry of Transportation.

“It’s not our infrastructure,” he said. “Highways owns and maintains both the Halston and the Red Bridge, so they would have to take the lead.”

The $10-million bridge resurfacing project is expected to take until October to complete.

The Pinantan General Store burned to the ground a year ago this month. The fire has led to a vote by residents next year on establishing fire service in the lake community 45 minutes northeast of Kamloops.

PINANTAN TO VOTE ON FIRE SERVICE CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

After years of resisting fire service, residents in Pinantan Lake are set to vote via a mail-in ballot next month whether it will become established in the community.

A public meeting earlier this month determined there is enough interest in establishing a fire service that the question should be put to voters through a formal petition.

Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) officials said a

large majority of the 140 or so residents at the public meeting favoured a service.

The meeting and petition come following a blaze a year ago that burned the community’s general store to the ground.

There is volunteer fire protection in nearby Paul Lake. but it is out of the Pinantan Lake service area.

Mailout of the ballots will begin on May 5. In order for the service to be implemented, at least half of the 436 property owners representing at least half of the overall assessed property value must vote in favour.

TNRD director of community services Ron Storie said the proposed cost for an average home in Pinantan will be about $215 a year.

He said that amount will be offset by savings to homeowners from lower fire-insurance costs.

The example is based on the average price of a home in Pinantan of about $210,000.

The community already has a truck donated from McLure several years ago. Storie said funding will help pay for construction of a fire hall.

A second public meeting is set for May 5.

Nando’s out, Browns on way to city JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

In the wake of one restaurant closing, a trendy restaurant chain, popular in the Lower Mainland, is coming to Kamloops.

Browns Socialhouse is expected to open in the spring of next year in Summit Shopping Centre.

“The people of Kamloops are going to love it,” said Mike Peebles, director of leasing at Anthem Properties, which owns the centre.

Peebles said the restaurant has been trying to get into the Kamloops market for some time.

The news comes after Nando’s, a restaurant chain known for its flame-grilled chicken, took its peri peri out of

the Tournament Capital on March 27, leaving a vacancy in the Sahali strip mall.

A sign on the door of the shuttered restaurant states the tenant had failed to pay rent as of March 1 in the amount of $31,275.61.

“We’ll deal with the tenant directly on that,” Peebles said. “It’s unfortunate that they didn’t succeed there.”

While he is disappointed Nando’s “just didn’t make it,” Peebles said the company is looking forward to upcoming changes.

With Nando’s out of the picture, the centre will relocate the Bone and Biscuit pet-supply company to allow for Browns Socialhouse to take over the full 3,500 square feet that formerly housed both businesses.

Bone and Biscuit

will move into the Old Town Farm Market portion of the centre, with construction to begin in May. Bone and Biscuit founder Lee Drescher, who spoke to KTW about the move, said it’s a positive one, with additional space.

“We’ll just be able to merchandise an additional 300 square feet of product,” Drescher said.

“It’s going to allow us to service our customers better.”

Peebles said the centre worked out an agreement with the tenants and work on Old Town Farm Market and Bone and Biscuit will begin in May, with the pet-supply store expected to open in its new location in September.

Construction on the new Browns Socialhouse will begin this fall.

The chain has locations across the province — including Vernon, but not Kelowna.

Its founder, Scott Morrison, was a founding partner of Cactus Club.

Summit Shopping Centre — which encompasses all of the businesses in the complex, including Starbucks, Winners and Red Robyn — has no other vacancies.

• Meanwhile, ABC Country Restaurant in Aberdeen has closed.

KTW is awaiting reply about the closure.

• Moxie’s conducted trial runs earlier this week and opened its doors in the downtown Sandman Signature Hotel on Wednesday.

It joins The Shark Club as the second restaurant to open in the hotel.

Now that riding season is here, a few words of caution are apt to ensure a safe ride for all.

First: Drivers will not be used to seeing motorcycles on the road yet so they may not be expecting you so take extra care. Second: Not all streets and roads have been cleared of the sand and gravel which poses a real danger for those on two wheels. Third: Ensure you wear proper clothing as hypothermia doesn’t bode well for safe riding. A good blend of common sense and defensive driving skills should make for a safe ride.

If you unfortunately do get injured in a motorcycle accident, we can help.

It’s what we do. Contact a member of our Personal Injury Team for a FREE consultation to help you get on the road to recovery.

DEFENCE CLAIMS INVESTIGATION ‘REVERSE ENGINEERING’ TIM PETRUK

Leon Reinbrecht’s trial is in the final stages.

City of Kamloops

The police investigation into a fatal 2010 boat crash on Shuswap Lake was “reverse engineering” aimed at filing criminal charges at any cost, a judge has been told.

Leon Reinbrecht’s trial is in its final stages, with defence lawyer Joe Doyle providing an opening statement in B.C. Supreme Court on Thursday morning.

“This case, on its face — with a motorboat inside a houseboat — is a shocking case,” Doyle said.

“It shocked many people.”

Doyle said that collective shock put blinders on investigators pursuing criminal charges against Reinbrecht, who was admittedly at the helm of the speedboat that collided nearly headon with the houseboat, killing Ken Brown.

The collision took place just after 11 p.m. on July 3, 2010, following a post-Canada Day fireworks display in Magna Bay. Doyle called the police work that followed “reverse engineering” — fitting the evidence into the parameters of criminal charges, rather than recommending charges based on the evidence.

Reinbrecht was eventually charged

with one count each of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm.

“The defence is going to say it’s quite a different matter than that,” Doyle said.

“There are certain rules of the road that weren’t followed [by the houseboat].”

Doyle said his case hinges largely on the lights of Brown’s houseboat.

“You have a houseboat that was travelling at full throttle and it is not displaying navigational lights that are required and expected to be displayed by a vessel,” he said.

“Mr. Reinbrecht collided with a houseboat that wasn’t displaying

navigational lights as required by Transport Canada.”

The first defence witness, Justin Beaumont, is an expert in marine-vessel investigations.

He examined the wreckage of Brown’s houseboat and Reinbrecht’s speedboat.

Beaumont said the houseboat’s masthead light — a navigational light required to be in operation — was not working.

“I saw the masthead light,” he said.

“I also saw underneath the dash, where the wiring was, that the wiring was disconnected.”

Previous witnesses have given conflicting testimony about

the houseboat’s lighting.

Last week, Reinbrecht’s trial ground to a halt after a Crown expert witness, an RCMP corporal who investigated the crash, made a phone call to Beaumont’s employer, the Canadian Coast Guard, to see if he would be in conflict by giving defence evidence.

Cpl. Richard Harry said he made the phone call out of a sense of “loyalty to the Crown.”

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan called the phone call “concerning.”

Another defence expert witness is expected to be called next week.

2016 PERMISSIVE TAX EXEMPTION Applications will be accepted from non-profit organizations and places of worship for permissive property tax exemption for the year 2016.

Organizations and places of worship that own and occupy their property and meet the requirements stated in the Community Charter and Council Policy may qualify for a tax exemption.

Application packages are available at the Revenue Division at City Hall, 7 West Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC, V2C 1A2 and on the City’s website at www.kamloops.ca/propertytax/ under the “Property Tax” section.

Completed applications for exemption must be received in the Revenue Division no later than 2015 May 31 for Non Profit Organizations and 2015 June 15 for Places of Worship.

Dennis Coates has filed a notice of claim in Kamloops provincial court claiming he and an associate, Russ Hay, dropped off their 1926 Model T with Al Paulsen for repairs nearly a decade ago and haven’t seen the car since.

“The defendant [Paulsen] purported to have returned the vehicle in 2013, but did not return the original vehicle,” the document states.

“The defendant has refused or neglected to return the original vehicle or to compensate the claimant for same.”

Paulsen is a past-president of the Kamloops chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada.

Coates is a lawyer who also serves as a director of the Kamloops Blazers Sports Society’s sports

legacy fund.

Coates and Hay are seeking nearly $16,000 — $14,000 for the value of the Model T, $1,500 for repairs and court fees.

Paulsen has not filed a response and none of the allegations in the notice of claim have been proven in court.

Russian student who beat girlfriend will be deported TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Thompson Rivers University international student who was kicked out of school after viciously attacking his girlfriend will spend a few more weeks in a jail cell before being deported back to his native Russia.

Vladislav Arnautov entered a guilty plea last week to one count of assault for the two-hour Feb. 26 beating of his girlfriend. He was sentenced Wednesday to spend two weeks behind bars.

Court heard a deportation order has already been declared for the 23-yearold, meaning he will be back in Russia within 72 hours of his jail sentence expiring.

“When students come into Canada to study in Canada, they are also expected to follow the laws of Canada,” Crown prosecutor Monica Fras said.

“They are expected to take responsibility for their actions.”

Arnautov was arrested after his panicked girlfriend ran into the U-District Liquor Store, beneath their McGill Road apartment, and told employees her boyfriend was trying to kill her.

Arnautov flew into a rage after learning she had been speaking with another man.

During the assault, Arnautov repeatedly beat his girlfriend into unconsciousness, grabbing her by the hair and slamming her head against the floor and wall.

Arnautov was free on bail last week awaiting sentencing, barred from having any contact with his girlfriend.

Last Thursday, the day after Arnautov entered his guilty plea, Kamloops Mounties checked his apartment and found his girlfriend hiding in a closet.

Arnautov was once again arrested and has been in custody since.

Over the weekend, police found Arnautov’s girlfriend — an international student from Ukraine — inside his apartment, making perogies for when

“

It’s somewhat shocking someone can be expelled from a university based on a newspaper article without a chance to defend himself.

”

— DEFENCE LAWYER SHELTON TATE

he is released from jail.

Defence lawyer Sheldon Tate said Arnautov’s life unravelled after his initial arrest.

“Immediately after the reporting in the newspaper of the assault situation, Thompson Rivers University got together and expelled Mr. Arnautov without there being any underlying facts,” Tate said.

“It’s somewhat shocking someone can be expelled from a university based on a newspaper article without a chance to defend himself, but that’s what happened in this case.”

When Arnautov was expelled from TRU, his student visa was also revoked — meaning he was no longer legally allowed to reside in Canada.

“A jealous quarrel that got out of hand and the desire of two young lovers to see one another — between those two things, he’s lost everything,” Tate said.

Arnautov has no prior criminal record.

His girlfriend told police she plans to leave Canada to continue their relationship.

Kamloops provincial court Judge Roy Dickie did not place Arnautov and his girlfriend on a no-contact order.

THIEVES TARGET DEALERSHIP Sometime overnight on Sunday April 19th thieves broke into the Douglas Lake equipment compound on the 700 block of Carrier Drive.

The suspects had targeted this one ATV as nothing else was touched or damaged. The suspects broke off the lock on the gate, once inside the compound, they went straight for the ATV. The ATV was rolled out of the yard and into a waiting vehicle

that would have been nearby, these suspects even closed the compound gate behind then, so no one would notice the theft had taken place. The mount Paul road always has some activity on or nearby due to being in the light industrial area, someone may have been leaving work or making delivers could have seen the suspects near the Douglas Lake equipment compound area.

The ATV is described as a side by side Kubota X1120 RTV that is wrapped in camouflage colour, the Vehicle Identification Numbers will remain on the Police computer system until the ATV is recovered.

Once inside the suspect, searched the store and office area and came up with a very small amount of cash. The suspect did take entire cash register and fled the

store. The suspect did leave some very valuable evidence behind that I am sure the Kamloops Forensic unit will be very interested in to proceed with in court. There is some video surveillance footage of a male suspect wearing a light coloured jacket, with light coloured pants, the suspect had his hood pulled up to cover his face. Although this

theft occurred early in the morning there is still a lot of vehicle traffic and some pedestrian traffic in the area, someone may have notice some suspicious activity in the area.

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between: HOT: The upcoming vote by Pinantan Lake residents on whether they want to pay for fire service.

The devastating April 2014 blaze that razed the community’s general store prompted the discussion that has led to the mailout-ballot system next month.

To establish a fire service, residents will pay $215 a year, but having such coverage will also lower fire-insurance rates.

The fire last year, along with other blazes in nearby Paul Lake, will certainly loom large as residents vote.

NOT: The fact a provincial edict to cut more and more has led the Kamloops-Thompson school district to draft a budget that will see 14 staff members lose their jobs.

While it is always wise to keep searching for savings, it might not be so wise to do so at the risk of people losing their jobs in a district that is among the leaders in the province when it comes to cutting costs and finding efficiencies.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: Students at David Thompson and Haldane elementary schools for their dedication to environmental awareness.

Haldane in Chase has participated in the Green Schools Canada Program since 1992 and has achieved Earth Status 10, which is the highest level of achievement in green-school initiatives. In other words, it is the No. 1 green school in the nation.

David Thompson students in Westsyde undertook this week the first waste audit of an elementary school in the school district, with the results to be released next month.

Well done, kids.

Swatting the swatters

T

hey call it “swatting” and it has police departments across North America responding to fake threats of violence at an increasing rate.

In Kamloops, there have been at least two swatting calls this year — both phoned in to schools and none resulting in the threat being real.

Swatting is the practise of calling police or a business or home with the goal of having officers respond to what they believe is an emergency.

It may be a prank in the mind of the caller, but making these phony calls ties up police resources and stresses out teachers, parents and students.

In many countries, Canada and the Unites States included, swatting has become a growing nuisance and the legal system is cracking down on those responsible.

There have been dozens of stories about swatting sentences in the past couple of years.

In January, a 14-year-old boy in Coopersville, Mich., was sentenced to seven days in juvenile jail, ordered to perform community service and had his family fined $10,000 (to be paid to the local school district and sheriff’s department) for his role in calling in threats to a school.

In May of last year, a 16-yearold Ottawa teen was arrested and charged after he allegedly was involved in 30 swatting cases throughout North America.

In October, David Barnhouse

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS of Horsham, Penn., was sentenced to 18 months in prison for swatting via posting a bomb threat online.

In Las Vegas, a well-known online gamer named Brandon Wilson is facing up to five years in prison for allegedly making numerous calls across the United States, issuing threats to lure a police response.

Beyond the disruption and fear such calls cause, there is also the real possibility someone can be hurt or killed when police are responding to what they believe is a legitimate threat.

The calls in Kamloops were hoaxes and almost always are.

While some parents might be stressed to hear their child’s school has been locked down, it is the rare school shooter who will call to announce his deadly plans before undertaking them.

When you hear of school lockdowns and threats, it is a virtual guarantee it is nothing more than a sick hoax.

Still, police must treat every call, regardless of how prepos-

terous, as being a danger.

Kamloops did have a legitimate threat that led to R.L. Clemitson being locked down in December. Thankfully, the kids and staff were unharmed.

With today’s technology, one would think it cannot be that difficult for police to track down those making the calls.

When Summit elementary received a menacing call earlier this month, it emerged the same person likely called a few other schools in B.C., resulting in lockdowns and police responses in those towns.

This week, Westsyde secondary received a similar call and police decided to lock down the school and nearby David Thompson elementary as a precaution.

When the swatting culprits are caught, it would be encouraging if the judge was to invoke a bit of creativity in sentencing.

Borrowing from the Michigan sentencing, a fine to recoup all police and school costs would be a start.

Having the offender speak to the entire student body to explain why he did what he did and what he has learned as a result would be instructive.

Compelling the offender to meet with a counsellor and a kid who suffered a few sleepless nights would also be beneficial.

Calling in hoaxes for a thrill is an impersonal prank that seems harmless; imposing a sentence that fully illustrates the deeply personal harm such nonsense creates is crucial. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THERE IS AN NO NEED TO USE PESTICIDES EASYWAY TO QUIT SMOKING Editor: Having read Jessica Klymchuk’s April 17 column on quitting smoking (‘A habit ablaze: Giving up the butts, e-cigarettes’) and her reference to Allen Carr’s EasyWay method to quit smoking, I thought I would write and share my own experience with successfully quitting smoking.

After 30 years of smoking and trying every single method — including the patch, gum, Zyban, Champix, cold turkey, cutting down, vaping, hypnotism and laser — I finally found Carr’s EasyWay Method book and, after reading it twice, it turned out to be just what the title promises.

It is an easy way to quit.

Because of Carr’s book, I have not had even a drag of a cigarette in more than six weeks and I know I am finally finished with the pointless, expensive and damaging habit.

Nicotine addiction is like a complex maze and EasyWay provides the smoker who wishes to quit with the map to freedom from the slavery of smoking.

I can’t recommend the book enough and I encourage people who wish to quit smoking or wish to encourage others to quit smoking to get it immediately. It has helped millions of people quit and it works. It has the information and tools the nicotine addict needs to quit smoking permanently.

I only wish I had have found the book 10 years ago. I would be ahead by about $50,000 and hundreds of wasted hours.

V. Warren Kamloops

Editor: Each year at this time, I am reeling with excitement for spring: chirping birds, fresh air, warm sunshine, bees, beautiful blossoms and the anticipation of all the Earth provides for us — including dandelions.

In my mind, dandelions are the first sign of spring. They are the first flower most of us proudly picked and brought to our mothers, grandmothers and teachers.

What is it, then, of which we are so fearful?

What is it that makes the general population spray senselessly each year and combat with poisons?

The dandelion means no harm, nor do other common lawn weeds.

Thirty years ago, we visited a veterinarian with our first pup. He asked if we sprayed for weeds and he told us weed killers possessed poisons that would affect the health of our pet.

Likewise, they affect the health of people.

We made a conscious choice from then on to never use poisons on our yard.

Others in our midst continue to needlessly spray for weeds and even ignore warnings to stay off the sprayed lawns, despite

KTW reader Noreen Pankewich was disappointed to find this sign in a park near her home.

the signs they must now post on their yards, warning to keep children, pets and family members from treading on these areas.

There is a reason spray companies are now forced to post these signs. Quite simply, the sprays are not safe.

You may think I am needlessly worrying, but I wrote to the Canadian Cancer Society last year, asking why it doesn’t better educate the public of these dangers.

The society replied, acknowledging sprays are dangerous: “. . . the Canadian Cancer Society BC & Yukon believes that lawn and garden pesticides are unneces-

sary and that their use should be prohibited. We also believe that provincial legislation should prohibit the use and sale of lawn and garden pesticides, rather than permit them to be applied by licensed applicators.”

Far too many family, friends and neighbours are succumbing to cancer.

We continue to ask each other why.

While we may not know specifically why, we do know lawn sprays contribute to the situation.

Often, when confronted with the diagnosis or the death of a friend or family member due to cancer, we wish there was just one small thing we could have done that might have made a difference.

Look yourself squarely in the mirror and ask, “Is it worth it to have the perfect lawn?”

Vanity comes with a price.

The Kamloops-Thompson school district expects it will be down 14 full-time equivalent staff when the 2015-2016 year begins.

While still in a draft format, the district has a balanced budget that will meet the spending cuts mandated by the provincial government, carry on with existing class sizes and student-teacher ratios, not impact programming and continue to implement new programming ordered by the Ministry of Education.

Looking at only the operating budget — the financial document dependent on government funding, but also one where reductions are being demanded by the government — the staff reduction comes to 20.2 positions, most of them teaching staff.

However, a separate government pot of money, the Learning Improvement Fund, will see six fulltime equivalent teaching staff added and assigned to schools identified by the district and the KamloopsThompson Teachers’ Association as needing extra staff to improve class size and provide additional support for students with special needs.

While meeting the funding cuts was a challenge, it was exacerbated by the drop in enrolment, said superintendent Karl deBruijn.

Forecasts to date predict 386 fewer students in the district in September, which means more than $2.7 million in student funding not coming into the district.

Administration cuts had to total $786,000.

DeBruijn noted it would be easier to adapt and make the necessary budget cuts if all the students attended one school — administration could simply close the school, reduce the staffing levels and ease the challenge.

Stretch pointed out projected revenue for the next school year is up more than $2 million from last year, but the increased wages and benefits cost negotiated last year for teachers will cost the district another $3 million. In order to arrive at a balanced budget, a legislative requirement, the district will dip into a reserve fund.

While the budget discussions included input from unions representing teachers and support staff, parents and guardians of students — and students themselves — as well as other community members, the district is looking for more input, now that the preliminary budget has been made public.

Written submissions will be accepted until next Monday. The budget will be presented to MLAs Terry Lake and Todd Stone on May 1 and brought back to trustees for adoption on May 11.

Rising from the depths of despair, step by step ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

It started with a dime.

Forty-three years ago, Frank O’Dea found himself standing on a corner in downtown Toronto, living what he calls a “dirty, lonely, sometimes violent existence.”

He was an alcoholic, panhandling during the days, bouncing between flophouses at night. Around him, people were shooting up, drinking from paper bags and fighting.

“It was a very lonely existence,” O’Dea told about 300 people at the 2015 United Way Community Spirit Luncheon in Kamloops on Wednesday.

“I know because I was one of them.”

O’Dea, who would go on to co-found The Second Cup coffee

chain and a number of other businesses and not-for-profits, discovered alcohol at 13, his life spiralling out of control after being sexually assaulted by a priest.

By 18, he knew he had a problem. By 20, his parents asked him to leave home, leave town and not contact the family.

While he initially set out to prove his family wrong, O’Dea’s life continued to fall apart.

He couldn’t hold down a job, his drinking making him less and less employable and, before long, he had gone from an apartment building to a rooming house to a flophouse, his income coming from the goodwill of the strangers who passed by him on the street.

But, the combination of that dime and

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Second Cup founder Frank O’Dea was in Kamloops this week to tell his remarkable tale.

a radio advertisement wasn’t far from changing his life.

O’Dea had a few odd jobs, one of which involved moving paint cans from the cellar to the shelves of a local shop. One day, as he trudged up the steps,

April 24 - KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

paint cans in hand, he heard the ad — if you have trouble with alcohol, give us a call.

At the time, he wasn’t ready for it.

O’Dea had no desire to change, his existence of flophouses and 50-cent bottles of wine

serving him just fine.

However, it wasn’t too long before he knew he had change or die.

When a man passed by him on a downtown Toronto street and handed him a dime, O’Dea walked to the nearest payphone and called that number, the one ingrained in his mind from hearing the radio advertisement day after day.

“I never had another drink,” O’Dea said.

There was more to his journey to sobriety than a simple phone call, but the message in O’Dea’s story is clear — one never knows the impact a small a gesture, such as handing a dime to a person in need, can have.

O’Dea commended the Kamloops United Way for its work in the community, its gestures that may sometimes

seem small, but combine to produce meaningful change.

Just show up day after day, O’Dea said, and changing the world becomes possible.

“There will always be people who say, ‘No, it can’t be done,’” he said.

“Don’t tell me it can’t be done. Don’t tell the people of Kamloops it can’t be done. Because they’ve shown that it can.”

O’Dea didn’t start his second chance with co-founding The Second Cup. He bounced around, selling construction equipment, coin sorters and working as a political consultant.

Slowly, putting one foot in front of the other, he built a life and a career.

From the depths of skid row, O’Dea rose to co-found a multi-mil-

lion-dollar company.

Thirty years after living on the street, he was awarded the Order of Canada.

O’Dea said he often thinks back to the story of the dime, how his life was changed by the small gesture of a stranger, how far he has come from plunging about as low as any one person can fall.

He hopes his story shows people the world doesn’t need to be changed in one fell swoop, that just making the next right choice can make all the difference.

“Many times, we think we have to do big things to make changes,” O’Dea told the United Way luncheon crowd.

“Not necessarily.

“We just have to show up “ Out of that, incrementally, life changes.”

BOOGIE THE BRIDGE

Training Talk MARG SPINA

RUNNING COMMENTARY with Jo Berry

BOOGIE IS HERE! Two runners approach the finish line at the CFJCTV Boogie The Bridge, their arms linked together in solidarity and celebration as spectators clap and cheer.

As they cross the finish line together in triumph, ear-to-ear grins appear and maybe tears. They lift their arms over their heads, still holding hands — a celebration of their own personal victory and a spectacular finish to their commitment to health and happiness.

As the race continues, similar acts of celebration are repeated thousands of times, from kids, adults, grandparents, friends, co-workers, elite runners, recreational runners and walkers. All of these positive celebratory vibes help create Boogie’s awesome atmosphere.

But, celebration does more than that.

It builds community.

Celebrating not only feels fantastic, it also helps define who we are both as individuals and as members of this awesome city (our larger team of Kamloopsians).

Traditions of celebration — from holidays to crossing the finish line with hands held high — are part of our identity, part of our cellular memory and DNA. They help us recognize our individual achievements and help us express who we are as members of a community — and that is exactly what the CFJC-TV Boogie The Bridge is about.

It is about strengthening our community.

Yes, celebrating together brings us together. Boogie is all about connection, community and celebration.

We embrace high-fives, hugs at the finish line and that euphoric feeling of coming together.

It’s your day, Kamloops — all in a sea of red — and the Boogie team can’t wait to greet you at the start and the finish lines.

Thank you for your Boogie love and support.

Boogie on!

Back home after a week in Prince George, I went out to council cleanup day on Schubert Drive this week.

No sooner had I filled a garbage bag than I tripped over a rock and went for a face plant in the parking lot. Did I mention I had an audience of council and parks and rec staff? Not one of my finer moments!

So, my Boogie running had to stop while my shoulders, knees and an ankle recovered, but I did keep on walking. I had to go to UBCM meetings in Victoria the next night, so I wore runners and changed into dress shoes before meetings.

I managed to log some steps, way down from past weeks, but better than nothing.

It was frustrating to come up against a running roadblock when the mind is willing, but the body can’t do it!

Movement is change. We can change how we feel about things even if we can’t change the situation at hand. Instead of feeling annoyed that I couldn’t go for a run, I still went outside in the sunshine and walked a few kilometres every day.

This is the last week of Boogie training.

I have loved the opportunity to discover what I can do and how great it feels to be active.

Will I finish Boogie on the Bridge this Sunday? Yes! Will you come out too?

I hope so!

3 individuals, 3 levels of fitness, 3 approaches to training for the CFJC-TV Boogie The Bridge

TERRY HANSEN

The final training session has occurred and everyone at David Thompson elementary is ready to Boogie.

No matter what happens, I know every student is richer for their experience. They have participated in regular physical activity, therefore increasing their fitness level. They have an awareness that their health is important. And, they know that they are supported in achieving their goals by the wonderful staff and student body at DT. All that is left to do is have a great run and celebrate!

— Terri Hansen After every Boogie training session, we stretch for five minutes to cool down our muscles to prevent injury.

Our final school Boogie is today, when the intermediates walk or run five or 10 kilometres.

The primaries run a different twokilometre route where the intermediate students help them out and cheer them on.

Jo Berry comes and helps to warm us up and get us motivated. When we reach the turnaround point, we get a Popsicle stick to show we made it.

Thanks to Westsyde Cooper’s Foods and Blackwell Dairy for sponsoring the post-race snack.

This has been a very fun experience for all of us and we have all enjoyed it.

NICK CARTER

The CFJC-TV Boogie The Bridge is this weekend and I am optimistic I will be running and my knee that has ailed me will be in fine form.

It was discouraging when my physiotherapist told me I could not run until my knee healed. I have run three times a week for the past year and I loved the endorphin rushes.

To have all of this end was a big shock.

For the first time in three weeks, I am not experiencing pain, so I am hoping I will get the green light for this weekend’s CFJC-TV Boogie The Bridge. I am thinking the injury was caused by being too aggressive in my running. In the future, I will be slowing down my pace and doing cross-training on the days I don’t run by cycling.

There are many people in Run Club who have encouraged me and this past year has been my most successful.

I lost more than 70 pounds without dieting.

I highly recommend Run Club for anybody, not only for getting back in shape, but for the social aspect as well.

I have made many good friends and it is always more fun to be running with others.

In the months ahead I’ll update you on my Run Club experiences and Run Club events on my radio show on B100 Today’s Hit Music.

A big thank you to my friend Jo Berry and her wonderful coaches.

The winter that was ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

I

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

t may not have been a record year for Sun Peaks, but the resort’s officials are quick to caution: It could have been a lot worse.

“It’s not what we’d call a banner year, but in comparison with what went on throughout the Pacific Northwest and the rest of Western Canada, we’re pretty happy with where we finished,” said Aidan Kelly, director of sales and marketing for Sun Peaks Resort.

“Overall, everything considered, we’re still saying it was a positive season because there were a lot of resorts in Western Canada that had to close early and/ or didn’t get opened at all.”

Kamloops’ local ski hill opened for the final time on April 12, bringing to an end a winter plagued by uncharacteristic weather patterns and a below-average snowpack.

But, the resort still fared relatively well. While ski hills in the Lower Mainland and throughout the rest of the province fought bleak conditions, in some cases even resorting to refunding portions of season passes, stays at Sun Peaks remained relatively the same as in 2013-2014.

In some areas, there were even increases. At one point in the season, 36 per cent of those surveyed in the village were first-time visitors.

“We got lucky,” Tourism SUN PEAKS/KELLY FUNK Sun Peaks president Sun Peaks Resort did not have a banner winter season, but mountain representatives are Christopher Nicolson said. staying positive about what transpired in 2014-2015.

“We were able to keep

a very good product for people through the season.

Even as we got into the March period, the upper mountain remained very good, even though the bottom slopes on Sundance and Sunburst finished early.”

According to Kelly, as of the end of March, the mountain’s snow base was sitting at 74 per cent of average, but he noted the resort’s precipitation levels were comparable — only down slightly — to those of years past.

The real culprit was the temperature. Warm weather often followed snowfalls in 2014-2015, quickly erasing any gains made on the slopes. The resort also experienced rainfall midmountain, which Kelly said is uncharacteristic for Sun Peaks.

Still, the destination traffic held strong. Sun Peaks saw an increase of about 10 per cent in the Australian market and also noticed gains from Washington state. Ski teams again frequented the hill, which has become known in that market for reliable early-season conditions in which teams can train.

Overall, skiing days were down, but only about five per cent, and patronage of the resort itself remained more or less the same.

Local traffic, however, was a bit more challenging, especially once warm weather hit Kamloops.

“We did very well on the destination side,” Nicolson said. “We know that local visits were, of course, down, but that’s just the

nature of it. If people are mountain biking in February, it’s tough to sell skiing in March.

“I don’t forecast any long-term effects,” he continued, speaking of the resort’s relationship with Kamloops. “I think the local market is very aware of fluctuations within snow levels and I think it’s very much human nature. I think when it gets cold next [winter] and you get the first snow on the mountains, people are going to be as energetic to go skiing at that point. This has been a bit of a fluke year.”

Echoing Nicolson’s sentiments, long-time seasonpass holder Adam Shore said an up-and-down season won’t impact his desire to continue frequenting the resort.

Shore hit the slopes about a dozen times in 2014-2015 before an injury on an icy run derailed his season.

But, he plans to be back when runs open again next winter. Though some of his friends were less than impressed with the conditions this season, Shore said the resort did the best it could with the hand it was dealt.

“I think it was good,” he said. “When a season has over 100 centimetres throughout the year, I feel like it’s pretty good.

“Spring was probably one of the worst I could remember in a while — I don’t remember ever having rivers flowing down the runs like people were saying, but the rest of the year was pretty good.”

Canadian catalyst Deven Sideroff of the Kamloops Blazers scored a goal as Canada downed Sweden 5-3 in a quarter-final matchup yesterday at the under-18 world hockey championship in Switzerland.

Sideroff, 18, made a nifty play to tally late in the first period, adjusting his stick to shoot between his legs and beat the Swedish netminder.

Sweden had scored earlier in the period on the power-play, with Sideroff in the penalty box.

The Canadians will square off with the defending-champion U.S. tomorrow in the semifinal round.

Blazers’ athletic trainer Colin (Toledo) Robinson is Canada’s equipment manager.

Kamloops’ director of hockey and media administration Tim O’Donovan is Canada’s video manager.

In the second game, Bailey Monteith got the start on the mound and Austin Coyle finished the job.

Coyle was also 3-for-3 at the plate, with four stolen bases.

On Sunday, the Coquitlam Red Sox edged the Dogs 8-7, despite a strong pitching performance from Kamloops pitcher Tyrelle Chadwick.

Later in the day, the Coquitlam Reds scored eight runs in the first two innings and went on to overpower the RiverDogs 9-0.

Michael Fryer had a double in the sixth inning for Kamloops.

Underhill, Luke Petrie

S

o now the hockey world knows that the Edmonton Oilers — who won the lottery to choose first in the June 26 draft of amateur players — will be the next great team in the National Hockey League.

Or so the Connor McDavid hype would have you believe.

McDavid is a “generational” player according to hockey experts who are paid to know these things.

Players such as him are said to have the talent to turn around a franchise’s fortunes.

So, the sadsack Oilers — who will celebrate having the No. 1 choice in the draft for the fourth time in the last six years after nine consecutive seasons out of the playoffs — will soon challenge for Stanley Cups as long as McDavid is healthy and filling the net.

Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby are the last three “generational” players and look what happened to their teams.

Multi Stanley Cups for the Great One in Edmonton, although his supporting cast of Mark Messier, Paul Coffey, Jari Kurri and Grant Fuhr wasn’t too shabby.

The Penguins won

BRUCE PENTON Cups with Lemieux in the springs of 1992 and 1993, and won a championship in 2009 with Crosby leading the way.

McDavid, who exhibited excitement along the lines of ‘I’m getting an oil change’ or ‘Oh, look, new socks’ immediately upon learning he was Edmonton-bound, was deemed ‘exceptional’ and allowed to play major junior hockey as a 15-year-old, something the Western Hockey League doesn’t allow.

When he was 15, he scored 25 goals (66 points) in 63 games for the Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League.

When he was 16, an age when most junior players get fourth-line minutes, he racked up 99 points (including 28 goals) in only 56 games.

This season, at 17, he missed six weeks after breaking his hand in a fight but still posted 44 goals and 120 points in 47 games.

Yeah, those are

‘generational player’ numbers. Exceptional numbers.

When he suits up for the Oilers next year, he’ll become the team’s No. 1 player, a full-time powerplay specialist and, in a year or two, likely team captain.

Stanley Cups to follow.

Is the McDavid hype legitimate? Here’s what former NHL star Dale Hawerchuk, quite a junior phenom himself, had to say: “He skates like Bobby Orr did, where it looks like everybody else couldn’t skate at the same level; he has vision like Gretz and hands like Mario [Lemieux]. He’s the real deal, that’s for sure . . .

He’s the full package.”

Fans of the lotterywinning Oilers can’t wait. For that matter, neither can hockey fans in general.

“Quote, unquote”

s Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “LeBron James is having trouble unloading his 12,000 square-foot home in Miami. It’s fit for a King James, but nobody’s biting at the $17-million price tag.

James took his talents to Cleveland but left his mortgage in South Beach.” s 3IGN OUTSIDE A Medicine Hat restaurant: “Free food during all Leafs’ playoff games.” s Sunmedia’s Rob

Tychkowski on Twitter: “Hey Buffalo: Firing Ted Nolan because the Sabres weren’t winning is like firing a Kamikaze pilot because he wrecked the plane.” s (EADLINE AT SportsPickle.com: “Premed student gets NHL team-physician job after accurately identifying upper body, lower body.” s #OMEDY WRITER Alan Ray, on the 19-inning Yankees-Red Sox game: “It went on so long, New York fans could barely raise their middle fingers.” s #OMEDY WRITER Alex Kaseberg, after a 21-year-old won the Masters: “Tiger Woods has hickeys older than Jordan Spieth.” s ,ATE NIGHT FUNNYman Conan O’Brien of TBS: “Former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez has been convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. Hernandez’s lawyer plans to appeal and try to get his sentence down to two seasons with the New York Jets.” s "LOGGER Chad Picasner: “Barry Bonds has offered his support to Alex Rodriguez in his return to the game. That’s like John Dillinger saying ‘Let’s give Baby Face Nelson a break.’”

NATIONAL SPORTS

It’s Anderson’s crease LISA WALLACE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Forced to take a back seat during the Ottawa Senators’ remarkable run to the playoffs, goaltender Craig Anderson is happy to be back in a starring role.

The veteran netminder posted his third career playoff shutout Wednesday night as Ottawa defeated Montreal 1-0 and forced a fifth game in their first-round playoff series with the Canadiens.

Anderson was sidelined due to a deep bone bruise suffered Jan. 21 and was then relegated to the backup role as Andrew Hammond took the Senators on a 20-1-2 run to make the postseason.

Anderson was then forced to watch coach Dave Cameron go with his hot goaltender and start Hammond for the first two games of the series in Montreal.

But, Anderson was thrown in for Game 3 as Cameron looked to change things up after a pair of losses.

It wasn’t the most popular decision, considering Anderson had only played four games since January and had posted a 1-2-1 record. The Senators lost Game 3, but Anderson was solid and no one is criticizing his performance in Game 4.

“I thought I was fighting it a little bit in the first period of Game 3 and, fortunately, it didn’t hurt us at all and they didn’t score on any of those mishaps that I had,’’ Anderson said. “As the game wore on, I felt more comfortable. There’s a lot of pos-

Craig Anderson has taken over from the Hamburglar between the pipes for the Ottawa Senators.

itives to pull out, even though we lost that game. I think we used some of that good feeling for Game 4.’’

Anderson said losing his job to Hammond wasn’t the easiest time of his career, but with the way Hammond was playing, he couldn’t argue with the decision.

“If I go out there and pout and complain, that doesn’t do myself any good or the team,’’ Anderson said. “This is a team game. You need everyone on the same page, everyone playing well. It doesn’t matter if you’re playing every game or every other game or once a week or once a month, you’re still part of the team and you have to find a way to push yourself to be ready when called upon.’’

The 33-year-old Anderson said he’s energized by the playoffs and feels “25 years old again.’’ His success comes as no surprise to his teammates.

“I think he was hungry, I mean he was starving to get a chance again,’’ said forward Clarke MacArthur. “In the past, he’s had good playoff runs and good numbers, so I’m not surprised. He played great for us all year and for him to come in

and do what he’s done is what you expect of him and the only chance you have to compete really.’’

Defenceman Marc Methot said Anderson’s rebound is pretty much what the team expected, knowing his personality.

“I think what’s most remarkable about it is that he had all that time off and still manages to come back in and plays the way he has been playing,’’ he said. “That’s a credit to his work ethic and his competitive nature.

He wants to play and wants to be that guy. Having that veteran presence back there is huge for the team.’’

Friday’s Game 5 is back at Montreal’s Bell Centre, where Anderson has had notable success.

He was instrumental in the Senators’ 4-1 defeat of the Canadiens in the first round for the 2012-13 playoffs. He won two games at the Bell Centre, where he has a playoff .949 save percentage.

The Bell Centre is considered one of the tougher buildings in the league to play, but Anderson said he isn’t concerned and is hopeful to build off his past success.

“Things have changed, teams have changed, but the one constant is the building and the fans and the energy and the atmosphere,’’ he said.

“If we can manage that and go in there and play the way we’ve been playing we give ourselves a chance. We don’t know how the game’s going to end up, but if we leave everything out there hopefully it ends up in our favour.’’

OLYMPICS NOT LIKELY FOR MLB PLAYERS RONALD BLUM

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Don’t expect to see bigleague baseball players at the 2020 Olympics, even if the IOC reinstates the sport for the Tokyo Games.

And, new Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said the sport’s international governing body should demand a long-term pledge from the International Olympic Committee before agreeing to return.

Baseball was an Olympic medal sport from 1992 to 2008, but was dropped after the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The World Baseball Softball Confederation hopes both events will be reinstated at the Tokyo Olympics in five years.

The inclusion of new sports for 2020 will be voted on at the IOC session in Rio de Janeiro on the eve of the 2016 Games.

Manfred is maintaining the stance of his predecessor, Bud Selig, who repeatedly said MLB will not

interrupt its schedule for the Olympics.

“The Olympics are a challenge because of the calendar,’’ Manfred said yesterday during a meeting with The Associated Press sports editors.

“They are particularly a challenge when the site is halfway around the world and the date falls in the middle of our regular season.’’

In 2008, only play-

ers not on 25-man big league rosters as of late June were allowed to compete in the Olympics.

“Conceptually, I think it would be good for our game, for baseball generically defined, to be an Olympic sport. I know there is some interest in having a baseball event in the Tokyo Olympics because it’s so popular in that particular country,’’ Manfred said.

“I think it would be a mistake for our sport to make an arrangement with the Olympics whereby we go in for Tokyo and not have some commitment that the Olympics were going to commit to baseball over the longer haul.’’

LEARN THE RULE: DON’T BE A MERGING MORON ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Don’t go too early or too late — that’s the message from driving instructors around the city for drivers headed to Overlanders Bridge on Fortune Drive.

After taking calls from quite a few frustrated motorists about proper merging etiquette, KTW asked driving instructors at private schools and ICBC when cars should pull into the left lane to move across the bridge.

The answer was universal.

“For safety reasons, as soon as you see the sign, I would merge over,” said Lorrie Stirling of Eurotech Driving School.

While some driv-

ers will wait until the last possible moment before a lane ends, Stirling said doing so is “rather rude” and more likely to disrupt traffic.

Pat Cain, manager at Kamloops’ ICBC driverlicensing office, said waiting until the last moment often isn’t a time saver.

“When you wait to the last minute, that’s when people tend not to let you in, because they’re angry,” she said.

Manjit Padda, an instructor at Dallas Driving School, said she’s been one of those frustrated drivers.

“I was stuck in traffic yesterday because of all the cars going in,” she said, adding her voice to chorus of those telling drivers to start merging once they are prompted by signs.

“

For safety reasons, as soon as you see the sign, I would merge over.

”

— LORRIE STIRLING OF EUROTECH DRIVING SCHOOL

However, both Cain and Sandra Jensen, an ICBC driver examiner, note it’s also possible to merge too soon.

They say drivers should behave as they normally would — in this case, using both lanes of Fortune Drive — until they are prompted to merge into one lane.

“What’s happening is that people are now knowing that lane is going to end, so they’re all going into that lane all the way up Fortune, whereas it would work properly if they kept to those two lanes until they see the sign,” Cain said.

“That’s why the traffic is backing up.”

Jensen said drivers who want to merge need to lower their speed, flip the turn signal and begin looking for a gap.

Those in the left lane should be prepared to slow as necessary to allow traffic to merge.

“That’s where courtesy comes in,” Cain added. “If it works on a one-on-one basis — one car gets let in, then one car goes — it flows beautifully.”

Tony Geheran, TELUS executive vice-president and president of broadband networks, announces TELUS is making a significant investment to enhance and expand its communications network in Kamloops.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

THE LAST MILE CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

elus’s $60-million fibre-optic network to every home in Kamloops will eventually trump speeds available from rival Shaw Cable, but industry watchers say it’s a longterm play on increased video streaming and cloud computing.

Contract crews are visible around the city stringing fibre-optic line through underground utilities. Canvassers from Telus are asking property owners if they want fibre-optic cable to the home, a system known in the industry as fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP). It has capability to completely replace copper wire should homeowners give the OK.

There is no costt to homeowners. Oncee the network is operational onal throughout the city, Telus representatives will begin trying to sell the service.

At its press conference earlier this month, a senior representative said the fibre-optic service will place Kamloops among the top four per cent of North American homes in terms of available access speed. It will give homeowners comparable speeds to dedicated networks, including Thompson Rivers University.

But do you need it?

“I don’t think for the average user it’s that big,” said Spitfire Computers owner Gerry Stenson.

“Obviously they’re [Telus] thinking of the future.”

Once its network is operational here, Telus said it will offer home and business Internet speeds of up to 100 megabits per second.

“That’s insane bandwidth for the average user,” Stenson said.

“Most websites you go to won’t give you that.”

But Stenson and Kelly Brugger, service manager at Kamloops Computer Centre, said Telus is investing now as the larger Internet grows its data transfer speeds.

Brugger said for his own use, 25 megabits is “more than enough.

“Right now, we haven’t got to the saturation point.”

But, that point will come with the growing trend for cloud computing, said Musfiq Rahman, an assistant professor of computer science at Thompson Rivers University.

Rahman said cloud computing is a buzzword, but it will expand to today’s simple storage of photos or email, for example, to become a force that rules the Internet and workplaces. That will, in turn, require faster Internet speeds at home and office.

Small and mediumsized business will no longer need IT departments to oversee their network. All applications and data will be stored in the so-called cloud at offsite data centres. All that will be needed is a screen and keyboard, with everything else provided offsite.

“Organizations don’t feel comfortable putting data somewhere they can’t control. In the short-term that will be addressed,”Rahman said.

Experts said Shaw

Cabl Cable has no immediate conc concerns about losing cust customers to what will be T Telus’s superior network because outside infra infrastructure limits overall data speeds beyond the 100 megabit per cent mark. But eventually the cable company may have to string its own fibreoptic cable to homes to compete on what’s known as the “last mile” — fibre optic into the home.

“If they want to compete in the market, they have to switch to fibre optic at some time,” Rahman said.

None of the three men cited in this story have any immediate plans to purchase the 100-mbps service at home when Telus comes to the door.

“Probably not at my house,” Brugger said.

It’s the pricepoint, if it’s competitive: maybe.”

AWAITING CRTC RULING Independent service providers want the big boys to share.

But, a pending CRTC decision may reserve exclusive rights to Telus and other big telecommunication corporations for fibre-to-thepremises — making it the only last-mile fibreoptic supplier into Kamloops homes.

Under existing rules, utilities such as Telus must make available their last mile networks into homes on a wholesale basis to independent firms. Those firms, including Ontariobased Teksavvy, pay Telus a fee for use of the line and compete on service and price. But telcos and cable companies argued at a CRTC hearing late last year that in order to justify billions of dollars worth of new investment, they should have exclusive rights to their own fibre-optic service into homes and businesses.

Bram Abramson, chief legal and regulatory officer at Teksavvy, said the fact Telus is spending $60 million in Kamloops — when the CRTC ruling hasn’t come down — means it will invest billions in networks anyway.

“In Canada, we have a fairly competitive market for Internet access due to CRTC recognition that it’s not practical to have a whole bunch of lines going into your home.”

Teksavvy is available in parts of Kamloops through Telus’s current DSL copper-based network. Abramson said replacement of copper wire is really a network upgrade that shouldn’t change competitive rules.

“If you limit competition to companies that own lines to the home, you won’t have many competitors.”

Y Obituaries & In Memoriam Z MARDIE (REES) HAYWOOD June 17, 1926 – April 20, 2015 Sadly and with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our Mom Mardie Haywood.

Predeceased by her eldest son, Donnie Rees; first husband, Don Rees; second husband, Harry Haywood; and her three siblings.

Mardie is survived by her four children, David (Grace) Rees, Trevor (Robyn) Rees, Janice (Dave) Horne, Linda (Dave) Giddens and stepchildren Sandy Mould, Doug (Terri) Haywood, Glenn (Glenda) Haywood and Nancy (Robert) White. She is remembered by the joys of her life, grandchildren, Toni, Kristin, Lauren, Jessica, Kevin, Cole, Daniel, Lee, Andrew, Kerry, Darlene, Teri-Lynn, Shelly, Amanda, Josh, Jennifer, Kyle as well as her great - grandchildren.

Mom was born and raised in Smithers, B.C. At the age of 18, while working in the post office, she met our Dad Don Rees. Mom and Dad enjoyed 40 wonderful years of marriage before his passing in 1985. In 1988 Mom married long time family friend Harry Haywood and for 14 years our blended families enjoyed many good times together. Mom’s best times were spent with family and friends at the Shuswap, camping and snowboarding. Mom provided us with many delicious dinners and all were welcome. It didn’t matter how many arrived at the table she could always split the pie to feed everyone.

She supported each of her children in their endeavours and was our biggest fan. Her unconditional love will be carried with us eternally.

In Mom’s later years she developed Rheumatoid Arthritis and this debilitating disease annoyed her to no end but she dealt with it, like she did everything, with grace, strength and humour.

We would like to thank the staff at Royal Inland Hospital where Mom spent the last month of her life. Your care for her was exceptional.

Thanks also to Dr. O’Connell and Dr. Schumacher and all who tended to her in her final days.

A family service will be held for Mom at a later date.

Killer took photos of dead woman, children, in Saskatchewan home: relative THE CANADIAN PRESS

TISDALE, Sask. — A relative of a woman and three children murdered in Saskatchewan said their killer took photos of the bodies and sent them to the children’s biological father before taking his own life.

Tim Funk, a cousin of Latasha Gosling, said the killer was the 27-year-old woman’s boyfriend and that he was emotionally abusive, controlling and jealous.

Gosling was separated from her husband, but not officially divorced, and had been with the new boyfriend for the last couple of years, Funk said.

The husband often went to visit his three kids: Jenika 8, Landen, 7, and Janayah, 4.

They had been living most recently with Gosling and the boyfriend in a rented mobile home in the town of Tisdale, northeast of Saskatoon.

The boyfriend “didn’t like it at all’’ when the husband came around, Funk said.

On Tuesday, the husband

received the gruesome photos in a text sent to his cellphone, Funk said.

It was the day before the husband’s birthday.

“He sent them to him as a birthday gift.”

Funk said the husband then called Mounties, who found the bodies early Wednesday in the mobile home.

RCMP have confirmed that officers received a call from a family member around suppertime Tuesday, saying the woman and children hadn’t been heard from all day and couldn’t be reached.

They then obtained a search warrant for the trailer and tracked a suspect to a home 130 kilometres away in Prince Albert.

Police said the man had taken a six-month-old baby with him from the trailer.

The suspect had killed himself, but the infant was unharmed. The baby is the child of the boyfriend and Gosling, Funk said.

Funk has set up a page on the fundraising website gofundme. com to collect money for funerals and the surviving infant.

It had raised $38,000 as of Thursday afternoon.

Funk struggles to describe what his family is going through.

“None of it makes any sense.’’

He describes Gosling as a proud mother who would often drive her two daughters to dance recitals or take them to swimming lessons.

Gosling’s sister, Laura Gross, wrote on Facebook about how the three kids would jump on a trampoline and play on a swing set at their grandparents’ home.

Landen loved to wrestle with his uncle and sit on the couch playing video games, she said.

Jenika was grown up for her age and always wanted to look after cousins and change the littlest one’s diapers.

“Janayah, you were my little chipmunk,’’ said Gross.

“Every time you talked, you sounded like one. I loved you for that.’’

RACISM FUELS TERRORISM, SAYS FRENCH MINISTER

OTTAWA — France’s visiting justice minister said marginalization caused by racism has an alienating effect, making people more vulnerable to terrorist recruiters.

Christiane Taubira knows of what she speaks: As her coun-

try’s most prominent black politician, she has repeatedly been the target of public racist slurs.

Taubira told The Canadian Press a delicate balance must be preserved between fighting terrorism and protecting civil liberties and democratic principles.

She said if those principles are compromised, then terrorists will have succeeded.

Taubira is visiting her federal counterparts in Ottawa before travelling to Montreal later in the week.

MONTREAL — Three self-described “geeky entrepreneurs’’ from Montreal who say creating a mobile app can be completed in three days will attempt the feat this weekend as cameras document every line of code they write.

Two programmers and a designer will barricade themselves inside an apartment, beginning Friday, to create an application from scratch by Sunday night.

The entire project will be livestreamed to their website to give viewers an inside look into the creative process.

“Coders are interested in learning how others solve problems, because everyone thinks differently,’’ said Roman Filippov, a web developer who is part of the trio.

Following the popularity of live video game streaming sites — where people watch others play — platforms like livecoding.tv and twitch have begun offering programming events streamed online.

On Reddit, a subreddit group called Watch People Code, a dedicated forum to live coding, has 8,000 readers. The three hope to attract 10,000 unique viewers.

TORONTO — Lois Lilienstein of Sharon, Lois & Bram fame has died. She was 78.

Her son David Lilienstein said she died Wednesday at home in Toronto surrounded by friends and family. She had a rare form of cancer, which was diagnosed last October.

“She knew it was happening, she was at peace with it and she died very peacefully and not in pain,’’ he said.

“The care that she received at home through the various providers was stupendous.’’

Lilienstein, along with Sharon Hampson and Bram Morrison, created the beloved series The Elephant Show, which ran from 1984 to 1989 on CBC. It also aired in the United States on Nickelodeon, where it was a consistent ratings draw.

Hampson called Lilienstein “a woman of many ideas’’ who “would do anything’’ for her audience and was never concerned about being embarrassed while performing.

“It’s kind of hard to believe, we haven’t been singing together much in the last few years because Lois really had kind of withdrawn from all of that, but we were constantly in touch,’’ said a tearful Hampson.

“We fought like sisters but we loved each other like sisters, too. I just miss that relationship.’’

Morrison said Lilienstein was “absolutely vivacious, creative, full of ideas and energy.’’

“She came from a different musical place than Sharon and me. Sharon and I came out of the folk music world and she came out of the Broadway world. So, it was a very interesting combination and I think that partly explains the success that we had,’’ Morrison said. “[It’s] very sad. It’s a shock. We’ve been together for 37 years. It’s like a marriage.’’

Eric Nagler, who also appeared on The Elephant Show, said of Lilienstein: “The first thing that comes to my mind is her heart and her happiness.’’

“She was always a giving person. And a caring person,’’ Nagler said. “I haven’t seen her very often since our professional relationship ended but she has always carried a warm place in my heart.’’

The Elephant Show aired for 65 episodes, with each ending with the fan favourite Skinnamarink.

In the late 1990s the group returned to the screen with Skinnamarink TV, which ran for 52 episodes.

Lilienstein retired in 1998 after the death of her husband, Ernest, while Hampson and Morrison continued touring.

the government to allow access to marijuana when authorized by a doctor, the law says this must be done in a controlled way.

“These regulations are clear and do not provide municipalities with the authority to legitimize the commercial sale of marijuana, which remains an illegal substance,’’ she said.

metres from schools, community centres and other dispensaries.

In the letter, the health minister said there are serious health risks associated with smoking marijuana.

She said “normalizing’’ pot could mean more than tripling its use by youth.

Ambrose writes that, although Canadian courts have required

and sale of marijuana can have only one effect: increasing marijuana use and addiction.’’

City staff will present a report to council on Tuesday recommending regulating the booming medical pot industry. The rules would include a $30,000 licensing fee and require the shops to be at least 300

VANCOUVER — The federal government is telling the City of Vancouver it does not have the authority to legitimize pot with its proposal to regulate “illegal’’ medical marijuana dispensaries.

Health Minister Rona Ambrose sent a letter to Vancouver Mayor Gregor

Robertson on Thursday saying she was “deeply concerned’’ by the city’s plans to discuss regulation at an upcoming council meeting.

“Marijuana is not an approved drug or medicine and Health Canada does not endorse its use,’’ said the letter obtained by The Canadian Press.

hen Chris Bose works on an art project, he doesn’t let the weather get in the way.

That’s why he and about 20 students at South Kamloops secondary painted through snow and slush as they learned about how real graffiti could become art.

It was one of three art-related projects the school has been doing thanks to an Art Starts in Schools grant that saw Bose and Vaughn Warren working with students on graffiti, skateboard decks and a large mural.

The mural will be unveiled on Tuesday 1 p.m. at the school’s lower campus.

Working on the skateboards was also a long process as the students first did

sketches of their designs, then considered the colours to be used, said Grade 10 student Noah Fischer, who calls his work Under the Sea. They had to trace it out and learn how to use acrylic paints and various tools to see their design through to completion. “It was a really hands-on experience,� Noah said, but one he’d do again.

Alma Shankar, also in Grade 10, agreed, adding as someone interested in art, she was keen to learn how to work on a skateboard as she created The Galaxy of Notes.

Neither is a skateboarder, so their works are eventually destined for a wall at home.

Warren, who, like Bose, often works on art projects with schools, said the students he worked with were a great group keen to learn and intrigued about how to paint on a wooden deck, how to use an airbrush and how to see art potential beyond the

24TH ANNUAL

traditional square canvas.

Olive Skateboard and Snowboard Manufacturing helped by donating half the cost of the 67 boards the group used.

Bose began his part of the project by introducing the students to graffiti art from around the world.

Then he taught them the golden rules: No schools, no private businesses, no churches are ever to be used as canvases.

Once the etiquette was taught, several four-foot-byeight-foot panels were used for the students to express themselves. “We probably covered those boards 20 times,� Bose said, noting the students’ works “got better and better as time went on.�

He said it was essential the students learned the difference between vandalism and art. “Tagging is vandalism,�

Bose said.

Graffiti art is street art that

has value because, as public art, it is seen by people who don’t go to the art galleries or museums,� he said.

The mural involves five four-foot-by-four-foot panels and features traditional motifs of the Secwepmc people, said school vice-principal Caroline Hilland, who applied for the grant.

In the proposal, she said the goal was to highlight the arts as way for students to express themselves and develop a sense of community and social responsibility, “promoting art as a vibrant, edgy and modernistic means of claiming space and making a statement about who we are and what we believe.�

A drama teacher herself and a passionate promoter of the arts, Hilland said Kamloops “gets wrapped up in sports and we also need to be promoting the arts. We need to be promoting it in every school and in every part of the city.�

Keep an eye on Cirque, Kabango, q

W

hen I heard about the sale of Cirque du Soleil, I thought about Julie.

While Julie is, admittedly, paid to put on a good face for the famed Canadian circus — having been a publicist with the company for some time — she, like other Cirque employees, lives that circus.

Julie has travelled around the world with the company, packed her own world into a suitcase, missed Christmas and made new family members among the many performers and stage crew she’s worked with along the way.

It’s an exciting opportunity, but it comes with heavy commitment.

For those on the road, there’s no going home at the end of

Cue the successor

Cirque du Soleil’s Dralion came to Kamloops last year.

the work day, crawling into their own bed after a rough one or hugging loved ones goodnight.

There are plenty of new places to see, but limited time to check them out.

Then, consider you are living with your coworkers.

No offence, guys. I love you, but — yikes.

When Julie talks about Cirque, there’s a clear and genuine love for what they’re doing and what they’ve built, despite whatever mes-

has become as synonymous with Canadian arts as Celine Dion (who also performs in Vegas).

Would it be Tim Hortons all over again?

Because, I agree with the rumours — the coffee tastes worse now.

And, what about the Julies?

I learned, however, while the investor has intentions to grow Cirque’s Chinese mar-

across the world and a staff roster that resembles the United Nations.

With the announcement earlier this week of the sale of Cirque’s majority stake — and about 4,000 employees worldwide — to an American investor, I worried about the fate of our homegrown show because, though the act can be found under the lights in Las Vegas, the company

saging she is required to tell media.

She’s given her life — she has to love it.

It’s people like her who have committed everything to grow Cirque from the streets of Montreal 30 years ago to the international success it is today.

Julie is an ambassador for Cirque but also an ambassador for Canada and the arts.

There are shows

ket, headquarters will remain in Montreal, the Julies will remain employed and Canada’s artistic legacy will remain intact.

I’m not sure what the future will hold for Cirque but I’m happy to hear one of Canada’s iconic arts groups will remain alive, at least for now.

Now, if we could just figure out that Tim Hortons coffee . . .

Also of note in the Canadian arts scene, CBC’s Q was rebranded this week in the wake of Jian Ghomeshi.

Shadrach Kabango is the new permanent host of the Canadian arts and culture radio show — now “q� — and replaces Ghomeshi, in light of the seemingly endless and horrible allegations against him.

My dear Canadian arts lover, I know what you’re thinking.

You can’t go back to the show after the golden boy fell (and fell and fell) from his pedestal — it hurts.

And, it might seem tempting to rule this new guy out altogether with jaded hearts — especially with a name like Shad — but, let’s all give him a chance.

After all, he can’t be worse than Ghomeshi, right?

West Fraser Mills – Kamloops FSP for FL A18690

Stone announces $18M in bike-project funding MLA says he hopes to see Kamloops seek money ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

B.C.’s Minister of Transportation is hoping to see Kamloops look for a share of $6 million in new funding for cycling projects across the province.

Todd Stone, who is also MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson, said the new BikeBC funding will see his government spend $18 million on bike infrastructure over the next three years.

Funds will be matched to money from local governments looking to build multi-use trails, bike lanes, pedestrian overpasses and other similar projects, and Stone said he’s already spoken to Mayor Peter Milobar to encourage the city

“

This city has become almost a mecca for mountain biking and road cycling.

”

— MLA Todd Stone

to fund some of its planned projects through the program.

“This city has become almost a mecca for mountainbiking and road-cycling and pedestrian activities,” Stone said. “There’s tremendous opportunities for investment in our network in Kamloops.”

He will most likely get his wish.

The city’s director of development and engineering services, Marvin Kwiatkowski, said

staff is looking at a few cycling projects around the city to see what might qualify for the funds.

Most of the projects in the mix would involve better signage for cyclists and road stencils to show where bike routes are located.

The bike funding program is one of a trio of plans by the province to improve cycling.

Also in the works is a new highway signage program to promote the province’s best bike routes and improvements to highways popular with cyclists, including shoulderwidening and more frequent sweeping of shoulders.

“Whether it’s locals or people who come from around the world, we want to make those corridors safer,” Stone said.

West Fraser Mills Ltd. invites the public and interested stakeholders to view and provide written comment on the Proposed Amendment #6 to West Fraser FSP #83 for FLA18690. West Fraser Mills Ltd. is proposing to add Skeetchestn Indian Band’s NRFL A88945 to the above mentioned FSP. This is the only proposed change at this time and does not include any changes to the FDU. The draft Forest Stewardship Plan Amendment will be available for review and comment during office hours until May 28th, 2015 at West Fraser’s office.

The Queen’s Venturer Award is the highest scouting

proficiency award for youth members in Scouts Canada. It signifies a Venturer has, in the opinion of those who know the Venturer, both the character and ability to be of significant help to other people.

The awards were presented recently at Government House in Victoria, with Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon honouring 57 QVA to youth from across B.C. High school credits are also provided for this award.

Day of Mourning next week The annual Day of Mourning ceremony will be held on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at St. Andrews on the Square in downtown Kamloops.

The Canadian Labour Congress initiated a national

Day of Mourning ceremony on April 28, 1984 and Canada was the first country to formally commemorate workers killed at work.

Today, the Day of Mourning is observed throughout the world.

In 2014, 173 B.C. workers died, with 98 of those deaths the result of occupational disease primarily resulting from exposure to asbestos decades ago.

BIG

OF THE MONTH!

Holly Antifay

Where do you go to school?

I attend Norkam Secondary School.

How and why did you become involved with BBBS? I read an article in the newspaper about a Big Sister’s experiences with her little buddy. A few months later I attended a volunteer fair at my school and BBBS had a booth. I thought this program would help me share my experiences and guide a younger little girl. I also thought this program would help me get out of my comfort zone. I also love little kids, so this is one of my passions.

What do you enjoy about the In-School Teen Mentoring Program?

I like being there for my little buddy, being able to share experiences with her and guide her with decisions.

How often do you see your Little and what do you do?

I see her once a week for an hour. We play games, go outside, paint and play sports.

How is this relationship fitting into your life?

I go to see my little buddy during lunch break, as well as half of the last block of the school day. Therefore I have to do a little bit more homework that night, but it is completely worth it. If I have an exam I make sure to let my little buddy know that I can’t attend the meeting that day.

Have you noticed any benefits in your Little?

My little buddy has gotten so much more confident since the first time I met her.

She is also a lot more comfortable and open.

Why do you think that someone should volunteer in this program?

It helps people build confidence and it helps get you out of your comfort zone.

It allows you to have a little sister or little brother you never had.

RRH2491

Anything else you would like to add?

It is a super fun program that you and your little buddy can look forward to each week.

HEAVY METAL ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

O

n the rocky ground of the Tk’emlups Indian Band’s gravel pit overlooking the City of Kamloops, more than twodozen high school students test drove a career last week.

The Heavy Metal Rocks program, in its seventh year, occupied the pit from Thursday, April 16, to Saturday, April 18.

The program, an initiative of School District 73, introduces students to careers in the heavyequipment industry, giving them hands-on experience with 13 types of machinery.

This year, 26 students from Kamloops, Chase, Barriere, Clearwater and Logan Lake participated in the three-day training session.

Every high school in Kamloops, excluding Beattie School of the Arts, was represented.

“I figured, to be able to work on the equipment, I might as well get a little bit more experience driving it around, knowing the ins and outs of how to use it,” said Tanner Dawson, a Grade 12 student from Chase.

He is already working as an apprentice in the logging industry and plans to begin studying to be a welder in the fall.

“I think it’s great,” Dawson said.

“Not everyone is lucky enough, like me, that I get to do this every day before school. Half the kids have come in here green and they get to actually test out a career path.”

Heavy Metal Rocks has continued to grow and evolve since its inception.

Now with more than 50 sponsors, a burgeon-

INTO SEVENTH YEAR

ing steering committee and nearly 20 volunteer operators, the program is more successful than ever.

“It’s neat to see now because a lot of the students who were in the program year one, year two, are now working for some of our sponsors,” said Ron Collins, district vice-principal of trades and transitions.

“It evolves because a lot of the students that took the program are coming back,” Collins said.

“Now they’re operators. They want to volunteer because they know it gives back to the students.”

For Barriere’s Jordan Lefeuvre, who also plans to pursue a career as a welder, having experience he can now apply to future work situations was the biggest take-home lesson.

At the very least, it was a different way to spend a half-week of school.

“It just seemed really interesting to me, so I thought I’d pursue that,” Lefeuvre said, noting the program gave him good perspective on a wealth of topics.

It’s also an interesting week for the operators.

Dave Stobbe, formerly of Stobbe Developments, has been a part of the program every year and said he enjoys spending time with the future of the industry.

As an advocate for careers in trades-based sectors, Stobbe said Heavy Metal Rocks teaches important lessons that can be put to use immediately.

“Everybody pushes kids to go to university.

I’m a big fan of kids working, doing something constructive, rather than sitting behind a desk,” he said. “These kids, they’re in high school and they can already be learning something.”

Success stories abound in Tk’emlups gravel pit ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Heavy Metal Rocks program works.

Just ask Joey Kineshanko.

Nineteen years old and three years removed from the program, Kineshanko has been working as a heavy-equipment operator since he completed Heavy Metal Rocks in Grade 11.

He now has a career that was spawned from his three days at the Tk’emlups Indian Band’s gravel pit.

“It’s awesome. It’s the best thing I could have done,” Kineshanko said, noting it was the best two days of school he ever missed.

“Every guy I’ve gone and worked with that’s 40 or 50 years old, I told them what I did and they said, ‘Why didn’t I have that when I was your age?’”

Kineshanko got a start in the working world immediately after Heavy Metal Rocks, landing a job with Extreme Excavating after working with one of the company’s operators during the program. His work experience continued from there.

Kineshanko spent his Grade 12 year on the job, meeting his graduation requirements with credits obtained at work, rather than in the classroom.

Following high school, he went on to work for KGHM Ajax — a job he said he landed because the company was impressed with what he learned in Heavy Metal Rocks.

Today, Kineshanko is working as an operator with Protec Petroleum Services.

The School District 73 program was the 19-year-old’s first taste of the operating world and it changed his career path.

Most of the jobs on his resume have come about because of his experience with Heavy Metal Rocks.

“It’s one of the greatest things on my resume,” he said.

“I have a bunch of tickets and stuff and that’s probably the best one I think I have on there.”

The situation is similar for South Kamloops secondary

Sierra Legault is a past graduate of the Heavy Metal Rocks program. “I love mentoring people and I love running equipment,” she said.

Grade 11 student Sierra Legault.

Legault participated in the program last year and was back at the Tk’emlups gravel pit as an operator last week, teaching a new batch of students.

“I love mentoring people and I love running equipment,” she said. “Why not show something I can do to other people?”

Legault works weekends with her father, running his equipment, but said the Heavy Metal Rocks program opened her eyes to other areas of employment.

It’s still teaching her now, she said, both in how to better pass on her skills to others, as well as how she can continue to improve as an operator.

“It’s cool because it shows me where I’ve faulted in my operating skills and where I’ve gained,” Legault said.

“Now I can pass that on to kids.”

Q: When will the traffic light at the intersection of Notre Dame Drive and Dalhousie Drive be fixed? It only allows one direction of traffic to move at a time.

A: City of Kamloops traffic and transportation engineer Elnaz Ansari told KTW the system is for safety.

The main street, Notre Dame Drive, uses a â&#x20AC;&#x153;split-phaseâ&#x20AC;? system, which has been in place since

This is a safe operation with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;geometrics of this intersection.â&#x20AC;?

lights separately. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a safe operation with the geomet-

rics of this intersection,â&#x20AC;? Ansari said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given that there

are no left-turn bays, visibility of oncoming traffic for leftturning drivers is restricted. To prevent conflict between opposing left-turning and through traffic, the split-phasing is in place.â&#x20AC;?

HONOURING

HERITAGE IN ANTIGUA, GUATEMALA

TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

C

ruising through the Panama Canal to San Diego offers us a string of riveting Central American excursions, including a memorable trip from Puerto Quetzal to Antigua.

With other early birds, we disembark the Veendam, stream past marimba musicians and through a handicraft marketplace to our waiting coach.

“Welcome,” greets guide Karen. “Today, we’ll visit our colonial capital in the central highlands, heart of the Mayan world.”

Ninety minutes of rolling countryside, lush forests and distant volcano views bring us to Guatemala’s World Heritage city.

Passing several earthquake-damaged buildings, our walk winds along narrow raised sidewalks and crosses cobbled streets bustling with pedestrians and traffic, including tuk-tuk taxis.

Smiling villagers loaded with handwoven textiles, musical

instruments and jewelry approach us to sell their wares.

Purple-blossomed jacarandas shade the plaza where Church of Mercy stands unscathed.

Two short bell towers flank its whitefiligreed, lemon yellow façade.

Atop, we sight San Pedro Nolasco, 13thcentury founder of this Catholic order. Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy stands in the central niche.

Of two saintly figures standing on her left, one holds a rope recalling his martyrdom. To her right, a bishop and the order’s first nun. This was Antigua’s first monastery.

Inside, we learn Mercedarians helped heretics escape the Spanish inquisition and later supported families of convicts.

In turn, appreciative prisoners created the mosaics still decorating stout interior columns.

The luxurious sanctuary and cloister were built with wide arches to better withstand earthquakes, such as the one that destroyed 3,000 local

buildings in 1717.

Heading onward, we notice religious sculptures inside off-street enclosures. “Those are carried during Holy Week,” Karen explains.

“From Ash Wednesday to Good Friday, a stream of processions parade along this street which is carpeted with flowers and coloured sawdust. Celebrating the Passion, Crucifixion and Resurrection, devout worshippers carry Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene and the saints. It sometimes takes over a hundred men to shoulder some of the enormous floats.”

We soon pass under the 17th-century Santa Catalina Arch, a covered overhead passageway built to protect reclusive nuns from public view.

In the central plaza, Karen points out the

city hall and governor’s palace.

“Founded in 1543

by Spanish conquistadors, Antigua served as the military governors’ seat for 200 years,” she says.

“The Spanish colony of Guatemala then included much of Central America and Chiapas, Mexico’s most southern state.”

Saint Joseph Cathedral stands in baroque splendor.

Constructed originally in 1554 and destroyed repeatedly by earthquakes, only the front portion remains; skeletal ruins behind recall its original immensity and grandeur.

Here, we see the tombs of Bernal Diaz, famed diarist of the Spanish conquests; Pedro de Alvarado, Cortez’s secondin-command who became Guatemala’s

first governor and Luisa, his powerful consort — a Tlaxcaltec Chief’s daughter.

Karen recounts how Luisa protected native communities and points out her underground shrine, where Mayans still come to light candles.

Exiting past 17thcentury university buildings, we enter the grounds of Santo Domingo Monastery founded in 1538.

Surviving several earlier quakes, the Santa Marta earthquake devastated this extensive monastery.

Abandoned for centuries, it once boasted grand two towers with ten bells. Its fountain survives in the refurbished courtyard.

Because much of this city twice suffered similar destruction, authorities moved the capital to Guatemala City in 1776.

Part of the demolished monastery has been transformed into today’s Hotel Casa Santo Domingo.

Seated at tables amid floral gardens, we enjoy a typical Guatemalan lunch of rice, black beans, chicken, beef, fresh guacamole and handmade corn tortillas.

Restored monastery treasures recovered from rubble fill an onsite Art Gallery. After admiring this collection of religious art and artifacts, we stroll gracious grounds where stands a prominent Ceiba tree.

Mayans considered this the tree of life, its magnificent branches forming crosses that ‘show the way.’

Spanish priests utilized their lore to promote Christianity.

Here, an archaeologist discusses 3,000 years of its importance to cultures as far away as Costa Rica and southwestern Mexico.

She also shows us impressive replicas of famous pre-Columbian jade relics such as the Tikal Burial Mask. In discussing past and present jade cultures, she outlines its varied colours, folklore, deposit locales and value.

While sampling aromatic Guatemalan coffee, we later watch workshop artistes design jade objects.

The showroom sells lustrous sculptures, Mayan glyph pendants for birthdays, bracelets and necklaces in dazzling colours — and dazzling prices.

I opt for droplet earrings in pale creamy green.

Antigua’s picturesque architecture, historic insights, culinary delights and my treasured memento prove a wondrous journey.

Affairs of the heart under the rule of God Now that Hillary Clinton has announced her intention to stand as a Democratic presidential candidate, many political pundits are pondering her chances.

Of some relevance in the quizzing process by party bosses could be the baggage her husband

He was later suspected of perjury or denying the details and extent of the relationship and became only the second president to be impeached.

At a cost of millions of dollars, he was investigated and tried. Though he was ultimately acquit-

carried while president — his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

While Bill Clinton’s fall from grace seemed sudden, it was perhaps developed over time.

ted of the charges, the whole scandal tarnished his reputation and possibly had adverse effects on vice-president Al Gore’s failed presidential run later.

Adultery is the breaking of the seventh commandment and, as such, is sin in God’s sight.

We don’t hear a lot about sin these days.

This does not mean it has diminished or ceased to exist as the transgression of God’s holy law. It’s just that we don’t hear the word much.

I am not suggesting we should focus on guilt and condemnation. Even the biblical teaching about sad consequences of sinning should be presented in the context of God’s love.

We should warn people heading for hell only with tears in our eyes.

We have tried to minimize sin by giving it new names: “Fornication” has been replaced by “making love” or “having fun.

Adultery is now

reclassified as “fling” or “affair.” But, do we pause to see sin to be the serious matter it is in the eyes of God? Sin is rebellion. It breaks relationships and fellowship with God and man. Sin mars and scars the creative beauty of God that He intended for us to enjoy. Sin is bad and tragic. As such, we should hate sin and abhor evil.

There has been a rapid change of climate in the way adultery is viewed in our time.

considered to be in any way morally bankrupt.

There is a sense that we are entitled to a good life, that “we only go around once,” that life is hard and that we should grab all the gusto we can get before kicking the bucket.

Some think that the Bible is anti-sex. This is a warped view. The Bible prohibits sexual relationships outside marriage, but celebrates God’s good gift within marriage between a husband and a wife.

Sex is more than a physical thing. It binds two people into a close psychological and spiritual unity. By prohibiting extramarital sex, God has protected our most intimate human relationship.

Marriage relationships and our relationship with God are exclusive relationships.

We can have only one God, as we can have only one spouse in one’s lifetime. In the Bible, a broken relationship with

God is compared to a broken marriage.

The first two commandments and the Seventh Commandment have a special relationship.

Idolatry — worshipping any god other than the Lord God — is spiritual adultery.

It is not surprising that, in the context of the Second Commandment, God describes Himself as a “jealous God.” In the same way, when people break the Seventh Commandment, they sin against God and are also breaking the first two commandments.

God wants the best for His people and He knows we don’t always understand what that is. Sin hasn’t changed regardless of our euphemisms.

If we pretend we are righteous when our hearts are not pure, we condemn ourselves, but if we confess our sin, God forgives us.

WORD SCRAMBLE

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!
