SO YOU HAVE A JUDGMENT, NOW WHAT? Some people think that once you obtain a judgment in your favor, the judgment debtor is forced to immediately pay you the full amount owing. However, for most judgments you must commence enforcement proceedings in order to collect. We can assist with a variety of collection options. These can range from a cost-effective demand letter to garnishing wages or bank accounts. If the judgment debtor owns land or a house an equity analysis can be done to determine whether it is worthwhile to start an action to force the sale of his/her property. Finally, if the judgment debtor owns substantial personal property (i.e. vehicles, boats, RVs, etc) we can help you appoint a bailiff to seize and sell these assets to pay the judgment amount.
Dhaliwal running for council ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
After heading up the Kamloops Multicultural Society for five years, Ray Dhaliwal said he wants to take what he’s learned from running Canada Day celebrations and apply it at city hall. “We have a lot of newcomers to this city and, sure, they’re buying houses and stuff, but we need to show them that this community works together,” said Dhaliwal, who believes the society he’s been involved with for a decade could offer councillors some tips. “We have people from every part of the community and all walks of life and they work so well together, so it’s a doable thing.” As locksmith, Dhaliwal said he’s been to all corners of the city — and what people are say-
ing about the current council isn’t encouraging. “They need a council that will make decisions that reflect on the whole community, not just one special interest group,” he said, citing the city’s cosmetic-pesticide ban, new recycling rules that removed glass and plastic film from curbside collection and flip-flops over wine sales in grocery stores last year as top grievances. “I can’t think of anybody that’s said anything positive about council.” Dhaliwal said those complaints helped convince him it was time to run to fill one of two seats left open by outgoing councillors Marg Spina and Ken Christian. He also sees his familiarity with the city as an asset for a newbie councillor, as well as his long history with the North Shore. Raised in Brocklehurst,
where his business remains headquartered, Dhaliwal said he would fill a representation gap north of the river. “The North Shore, I believe, has been under-represented by a quality candidate and I can fit that bill,” he said. ”I can represent Brock, Westsyde, Rayleigh, all of us and the rest of Kamloops as well.” He also wants to see council put a greater emphasis on tackling property crime and vehicle thefts in the city, which he believes can be done by pushing for more RCMP officers and increasing the city’s police budget. “People are afraid,” he said. “They’re not feeling safe in their own community.” Dhaliwal also wants the city install bus shelters at every stop over time in a bid to increase comfort and ridership numbers.
Singh urges post-parking lot vision With the former Kamloops Daily News building soon to be demolished, city’s interim mayor is calling on council to look to the future. “I think it’s important for us to start thinking post-parking lot as much as possible,” said Deputy Mayor Arjun Singh. Singh said he sees the removal of the building as paving the way for future development on the lot at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue downrown, whether from the city or a developer. Council this week approved a $500,000 contract with Dakota Reclamators Inc. to demolish the building. An interim parking lot of 170 stalls will be constructed with in-house labour, at a cost of $300,000. The total cost to take down the building
and create a new lot is just over $1.1 million. City CAO David Trawin said members of a downtown committee on parking solutions are due to meet this week to look at the parking needs that remain downtown, including whether the city could look at buying public parking in upcoming developments instead of building a parkade. If a parkade can be decoupled from a performing-arts centre, Trawin said, “then you’re looking at a $55- to $60-million facility.” The city is also teaming with Venture Kamloops to research how other cities have built their arts centres, with areas of study including privatepublic-partnerships and selling airspace above the centre for condo developments.

Walsh wants ward weigh-in ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Should Kamloops city council return to a ward system? That’s the question Coun. Denis Walsh is hoping could be on the ballot when voters go to the polls in a byelection on Sept. 30. Walsh said he wants a non-binding ballot question bundled with the byelection and encouraged community members to weigh in with suggestions. Walsh told KTW he has his own preference for a question, one that would ask residents whether they favour a
“partial ward system,” which would see two to three councillors elected from the North and South shores, with the remaining councillors not bound by geography and elected at large. “It’s been debated the last 12 years I’ve been involved with council,” said Walsh, who argued the current system, in which all councillors are elected on an at-large basis, doesn’t tend to serve the North Shore well. “You have to live on the North Shore to really understand it,” said Walsh, who previously lived in Westsyde for 25 years. He said he doesn’t
agree with a common criticism of ward systems — that councillors will think only about their own wards’ interests over the city as a whole. “I’d have a greater concern if we don’t do that, we could have a stealth partisan council,” Walsh said, where councillors’ provincial political views guide local policy. David Duckworth, the city’s director of corporate services and community safety, said placing a ballot question to the Sept. 30 byelection would add about $10,000 to the vote’s $120,000 cost. However, Walsh said he has been told
that cost may not be required if the number of candidates in the election remains around 10, rather than the 25-plus who might run in a regular campaign. As of June 29, there are three people running for mayor and eight people seeking two council seats. The byelection is being held due to the resignations on June 30 of Mayor Peter Milobar (he was elected Kamloops-North MLA in the May 9 provincial election), Coun. Marg Spina (she is receiving treatment for cancer) and Coun. Ken Christian (he is seeking the mayor’s chair).

Adams has downtown ideas ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Credit the former Kamloops Daily News building for partly inspiring Jennifer Adams’ run for city council. “We have a clean slate with the opportunity that exists now,” she said of the Seymour Street site, which is scheduled to become a 170-stall parking lot once demolition is complete. “But, you know, if we had a maybe different mix on council, maybe perhaps that space wouldn’t have sat empty. Maybe it would have been used in a more innovative way.” Adams, a mother of four daughters and former small business owner whose past ventures have included soap-making and fire and flood restoration, said she wants to push for out-of-the-box

thinking from city council on the downtown property, among other decisions. “When I moved downtown, I started walking a lot more and empty buildings is one of those things that gets a bee under my bonnet,” she said, suggesting the building could have become a place for youth to gather or been developed into a community market rather than left empty and allowed to deteriorate as the city planned its failed
performing-arts centre referendum, which would have required its demolition. “I think the frustration of seeing it empty for so long prompted me — like, how come we didn’t find a different solution? How can the city spend $5 million and then let it sit empty?” she said. Adams would like to see the site become home to a performingarts centre, but also wants a broader community conversation around what residents want to do with the land. “I see a real piece of the community that maybe has a little pocket of all of the different people,” she said, suggesting the space could also house a community kitchen to teach skills such as canning and breadmaking. She said the lot at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue isn’t the only place where
the community needs to talk about unused space. “You see Sears and these other retail giants falling,” she said. “As cities, we need to either re-utilize those spaces or create that collective, collaborative small business, maybe working together.” Adams said she’s also concerned about attracting doctors and ensuring the city is following sustainabledevelopment principles. Adams is one of eight candidates seeking to replace outgoing councillors Marg Spina (undergoing cancer treatment) and Ken Christian (who is running to replace Mayor Peter Milobar, who in May was elected MLA). Other candidates are Stephen Karpuk, Sadie Hunter, Kevin Krueger, Bill Sarai, Gerald Watson, Jesse Bochek and Ray Dhaliwal.
Hunter has diverse resumé ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Since moving to Kamloops in 2001, Sadie Hunter has packed in plenty of experiences. A young single mother from a tiny town in northern B.C., she spent her earliest years in the Tournament Capital living in social housing while getting her degree at what was then the University College of the Cariboo. Since then, she has headed the city’s Bear Aware program, edited the university’s student newspaper, received a master’s degree in environmental sciences and taught fitness classes as a volunteer at the Kamloops YMCA. It’s that varied background she hopes will appeal to voters when she runs for a seat on council in the Sept. 30 byelection. “There are a lot of

experiences and ideas I could bring to the table that are lived experiences that I don’t think many other candidates could do,” said Hunter, now a fundraiser at Thompson Rivers University whose areas of concern include the science and nursing programs. She pointed to affordable housing and environmental sustainability as two areas of importance she wants to work on at city hall. Hunter wants to see the city continue to advocate for more housing funding
from the provincial and federal governments, while looking for incentives that would encourage developers to include affordable units in their buildings. “I have other family members who have had to move to smaller communities just to access affordable housing or low-income housing, whether they’re on disability or just have a low income, because there’s nothing here,” she said. On the sustainability front, Hunter said she wants to see the city pursue partnerships with companies such as BC Hydro and FortisBC, which offer cash for communities to take on some types of green projects. Hunter, who had originally planned to run in the October 2018 general civic election, said she hopes the campaign will give voters a chance to learn who she is and
show she’s interested in giving back to the city that helped her in her younger years. “Without the services here and the support of the community, I wouldn’t be where I am now and be successful,” she said.

SALUTING THIS INVENTIVE LAND
W
ith the big celebration upon us on Saturday, we reach into past KTW pages to once again salute this fantastic country.
Canada is turning 150 and Riverside Park is ripe for celebration. There is so much to celebrate about this crazy country of three ocean coastlines and six time zones. Give a toast to this country of comics, of spendthrift senators, of wild weather, of vinegar on French fries, of hockey, of high taxes, of CanCon, of pogey, icky-bicky, loonies and toonies, of adoring the CBC, of hating the CBC, of voting, but against rather than for a party, of choosing not to vote, but bitching about the results anyway, dammit! Salute this remarkable land that has blessed us with all this and more. Don’t for a moment think we cannot be brilliant. Consider just a smidgen of what Canada has offered the rest of the globe: CPR dummy, anti-gravity suit, automatic lubricators, Balderdash, basketball, electric cooking range, electric wheelchair, Fuller brush, ice hockey, kayak, kerosene, lacrosse, computerized braille, electric car heater, electric light bulb, JAVA, instant mashed potatoes, prosthetic hand, film colourization, Pablum, jetliner, Jolly Jumper, snowblower, snowmobile, garbage bag, Avro Arrow, heart pacemaker, electric organ, IMAX movie system, goalie mask, electric microscope, electric streetcar, gramophone, lawn sprinkler, insulin process, Marquis wheat, Robertson screwdriver, newsprint, odometer, football goalpost with single base, Trivial Pursuit, paint roller, Plexiglass, Mcintosh apple, standard time, telephone, music synthesizer, television camera, safety paint, television, telephone handset, railway sleeper car, undersea telegraph cable, mobile blood transfusion service, light bulb, walkie-talkie, wireless radio, Pictionary, birchbark canoe, retractable beercase handle, snow shoes, steam foghorn, table hockey, Superman, toboggan, Velcro, five-pin bowling, Abdominizer, Yahtzee, AC radio tube, acetylene — and, of course, three-down football, the way God meant it to be played.

Team-based care terrific
W
ith Canada Day looming, there are Canadian themes everywhere we look. The various themes are wrapped around the Canada 150 celebration, which does not really apply to all Canadians, as Ingrid Rice’s editorial cartoon above illustrates. But I am indeed a proud Canadian, a walking, talking messed-up soup of Ukrainian, Polish, English and Northern Saskatchewan Cree. And I will touch on that most Canadian of topics today — health care. I am not here to denigrate the system that Tommy Douglas built with good intentions so many years ago, but to praise mightily a wise adjustment to that system. We all have our health-care horror stories and many of us have tales of a job well done, both of which often end up on the letters page opposite this column. I tip my cap to former health minister Terry Lake and his B.C. Liberal government for realizing the value of nurse practitioners and for including them in the new team-based health-care model that has been in action on the North Shore this year. Having had two doctors — both named Krueger and both from South Africa — leave Kamloops while I was their patient, I didn’t make the cut when a third doctor was compiling his patient list from the rubble. It appears I was not sick enough to make the grade as family doctors apparently desire patients who visit often, not once every few years, as I do. My good fortune to have good

MUSINGS health (so far) led to my being a poor patient — and left me standing in lines at walk-in clinics once or twice a year when a sinus infection struck. Last fall, I called the 811 number and added my name to the patient list being compiled for the new North Shore Health Sciences Centre. I forgot all about it until this past April, when I got a call telling me that, this time, I made the cut. I was accepted as a patient and would have a team attached to me and my medical file. It is run like a doctor’s office, only so much better. I was booked in for an initial consultation appointment. That entailed me showing up, filling out a form and waiting for a few minutes. I was then greeted by a nurse, had my weight, height and blood pressure checked and was guided into a standard examination room, complete with everything you would see in a doctor’s examination room. Shortly thereafter, my nurse practitioner entered the room, introduced himself, explained how the clinic works and proceeded to open a laptop, spread out some
paper and spend a good 30 minutes quizzing me on my health, my lifestyle and the medical histories of various relatives. My nurse practitioner, Greg, entered all the data into his computer, scribbled some notes and explained I am attached to him. Like a doctor, he is my primary health-care contact, the guy with my file and the guy to whom I will now go, via appointment, when I need health care. No more greeting the dawn to race to the walk-in clinic to secure a spot later in the day to speak to an overworked doctor who has no idea of my medical history. Not only was I blown away at how much time and attention was afforded my visit, I was further impressed with the suggestion that I get a variety of blood work done — just to make sure a man of my age is in reasonable condition. The tests were done and all is well. Greg has me set for some man-specific tests when I reach a certain age in a specific time in the future. Until then, I have a “family doctor” that is more thorough than any doctor I have ever encountered. I need not see him monthly to retain my spot on the patient roster. And the clinic offers a wealth of other services, too, should I need them. This team-based model of health care is impressive and I hope fellow patients have had similar experiences. Here’s hoping the next government, regardless of political stripe, recognizes a brilliant idea and not only retains it, but expands it greatly. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

[speak up] You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
KDN PROPERTY PLAN ANYTHING BUT ‘GREEN’ Editor: It is probably too late now, but demolishing the former Kamloops Daily News building is a really dumb idea. Spending over a million dollars to tear down a perfectly good building that would probably cost about $15 million to replace is
just a huge waste of money. There have been proposals submitted for a scaled-down performing-arts centre that would basically fit within the existing building envelope. Although not as grandiose (or expensive) as originally proposed, it would certainly serve Kamloops well for many years.
A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online
For a city that supposedly prides itself on being “green,” turning an excellent building (for which we paid almost $5 million) into rubble hardly adheres to that philosophy. Richard Parkes Kamloops
MITIGATING 90 PER CENT OF WHAT? Editor: We are all familiar with the term “smoke and mirrors,” referring to devices a carnival magician uses to distract customers from what is really happening. The discussion of 90 per cent mitigation (reduction) of dust produced at the proposed Ajax mine is just such a distraction. Mine proponent KGHM Ajax says it would reduce emissions of dust from the haul roads and other areas of the mine to 10 per cent of what the emissions would be if they do nothing. The question we need to ask is: a mitigation of 90 per cent from what value? KGHM’s commitment has no practical meaning since there would be no measurements of the total amount of dust the mine would produce without dust-reduction measures in place. You can’t prove you have removed 90 per cent of the water in a jar unless you measured how much water was there in the first place. Because there would be no measurement of the dust being produced by the fully operating mine when no dust suppression measures are in place, there could never be any assurance that 90 per cent reduction in emissions was taking place. Everything would depend on computer models. KGHM would claim to have achieved 90 per cent mitigation by comparing its model results of what is exiting the mine site to its model results of what would have happened if it had not watered the roads and taken other actions. However, using models would provide little protection for the people of Kamloops. This is because there are large
uncertainties in the models. The results of the modelling will depend on what inputs are used, what assumptions are made and what approximations of the science are incorporated in the models. For example, no meteorological measurements from the actual proposed mine site are available to use in the model calculations done to date. The wind values being used in the air-quality models are from a model of what the wind might be at the mine site. To summarize: KGHM is asking us to believe it would eliminate 90 per cent of dust the mine produces. However, no measurements can be made to prove that is happening. Therefore, we would have to rely on the company’s model results. The B.C. Ministry of Environment’s air-quality experts and the experts of the federal agency evaluating the project have stated the expected errors in the model results relating to the emission and dispersion of dust are large and that the upper bound to which they could be wrong is unknown. No politician considering voting on the proposed mine should accept such a critical promise (the removal of 90 per cent of the dust created) when it cannot be checked. In science, model results must be verified by measurements before being accepted.
PLACE RECYCLING DEPOTS AT GROCERY STORES Editor: We should put glass, soft plastic and Styrofoam where we get it from in the first place. Bins should be located wherever there is a grocery store. The main complaint against the recycling centres is that they are out of the way. My preferred recycling centre is almost six kilometres from my home and my visits are often more than six months apart. My area grocery store is one kilometre away and I’m there once or twice a week.

The soon-to-bevacant home of Value Village is already off the market. Total Concept Developments Ltd. manager Sheila Minten said her company has purchased the property at 444 Seymour St. and plans to continue offering the 24,000foot retail space for lease to businesses. The sale, valued at $2.7 milllion, closed Wednesday. Value Village is due to depart for Sahali Mall later this summer, but will remain in the building until that time, Minten said. Total Concept
does not yet know what business might take over the space at Seymour Street and Fifth Avenue, directly behind the TNRD Building that houses the Kamloops Art Gallery and public library. Minten said the company was attracted to the property by its location on Seymour Street, a main downtown road, and its large size. In addition to the building, the sale also includes parking lots to its east and west. “It’s hard to get properties of that size compiled together,” she said. Realtor Brendan Shaw said the sale
went through quickly, noting the property was never formally listed. “There were multiple offers on that building and there were multiple backup offers on that property too,” he said. “What that tells me is it’s almost like a blessing in disguise. You have one retailer leaving downtown, but there’s multiple parties that are interested in investing and developing downtown, too,” While neither Minten nor Shaw had an exact date for Value Village’s departure, KTW has previously reported the thrift store is expected to be gone on Aug. 29.

Murder charge will stand; trial in August TIM PETRUK

A judge has ruled against dropping the first-degree murder charge faced by a former New Zealand politician accused of killing his Canadian wife on a B.C. vacation almost seven years ago. Peter Beckett will stand trial in Kelowna later this summer. His lawyers had made an application to B.C. Supreme Court Justice Alison Beames to have his charge thrown out

due to unreasonable delay. Beames denied Beckett’s application during a brief
hearing in Kamloops on Thursday. The application was made under a guideline established last year by the Supreme Court of Canada placing limits on criminal proceedings. In Beckett’s case, the guidelines state he should be tried within 30 months. He has been before the courts since Aug. 8, 2011. Beckett’s wife, Laura Letts, drowned in Upper Arrow Lake, near Revelstoke, on Aug. 18, 2010. Beckett’s trial is slated to begin on Aug. 21.

LOCAL NEWS The B-25 Mitchell “Maid in the Shade,” will be at the Kamloops Airport next week as part of the Arizona Commemorative Air Force Museum’s Flying Legends of Victory Tour. B. MOOSE PETERSON PHOTO
FLYING LEGENDS LANDING IN KAMLOOPS One of the most iconic airplanes from the Second World War, the B-25 Mitchell “Maid in the Shade,” will be at the Kamloops Airport next week as part of the Arizona Commemorative Air Force Museum’s Flying Legends of Victory Tour. The tour, organized by volunteers of the non-profit Arizona Commemorative Air Force Museum, includes three restored Second World War combat aircraft: C-47/ DC-3 Combat Legend “Old Number 30,” B-17 Bomber “Sentimental Journey” and B-25 Bomber “Maid in the Shade.” The warbirds and their crew will visit approximately 50 cities from June through October, with the stop in Kamloops being from Monday, July 3, to Sunday, July 9. They will be at the airport’s Executive Flight Centre, 2696 Airport Rd.
The public will have the opportunity to climb aboard the B-25 Bomber and learn about its role in one of the most important periods in U.S. history. The B-25 is an exceptionally rare aircraft as it’s one of 34 in the world still flying. The aircraft was used in America’s first large-scale bombing offensive in the Philippines. Tours of the aircraft will take place on Monday, Friday and Sunday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tours are $14 per person or $28 for a family of four to enter the planes on the ground. For a $2 ($5 for a family) donation to the Kamloops Flying Club, visitors can enter and look at the planes without entering them. Rides can also be booked, with flights tak-

ing place Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m Seats are US$325 per waist gunner compartment seat or US$650 for flight deck jump seat and are limited to seven passengers per flight. Ride reservations are required and can be completed online at bit.ly/KamloopsBC or by calling call 480-462-2992. Minimum age to go up is 12.
Built in 1944, the B-25 Maid in the Shade was developed by North American Aviation and used mainly as a low-altitude strafe and skip bomber. Nearly 10,000 B-25s were produced and the B-25 Mitchell Maid in the Shade is one of 34 still flying today. The aircraft was used in America’s first large-scale bombing offensive in the Philippines and sunk eight ships and shot down five planes. The B-25 is most remembered for the Doolittle Raid on Japan, where Jimmy Doolittle led 16 B-25s across Japan bombing targets.

Search is on for girl who swam away from police Kamloops Mounties continue efforts to find a teenaged girl who escaped arrest and plunged into the Thompson River in the early morning hours of Thursday. Cpl Jodi Shelkie said the incident began at about 2 a.m. when police were alerted to a report of a stolen bicycle. The bicycle was recovered and RCMP later used a dog to locate a young female suspect, found hiding beneath a dock on the river beside Royal Avenue on the North Shore. “The girl was subsequently arrested in connection with the bicycle theft,” Shelkie said in a statement. “During her arrest, the girl escaped custody from police and entered the river prior to being placed in handcuffs.” The girl was seen swimming toward Rabbit Island. Shelkie said the Kamloops Fire Rescue boat was called out and used a thermal imaging camera in the search. Police are continuing the search, using the police dog service, air support and Kamloops Search and Rescue. The Independent Investigations Office, an agency that investigates police-related deaths or harm, has been notified and is monitoring, Shelkie said.

Warning about Snapchat location feature CASSANDRA SZKLARSKI
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Several child-protection groups are warning that Snapchat’s new location-sharing feature could allow predators to more easily track young people. The Canadian Centre for Child Protection and MediaSmarts are among the watchdog groups raising concerns about Snap Maps — an opt-
in feature that shares a user’s location on a map. Experts say child predators who befriend young users could use the feature to figure out where they live, where they go to school and the route they walk every day, eventually building a picture of their routine. The feature was included in a recent update to the socialmedia app, which is especially popular with
teens. It lets users send photos, videos and messages that disappear after a set period of time. Users can select who can see where they are — friends, a select group or no one, also known as “Ghost Mode.’’ Earlier this week, the Winnipeg-based Canadian Centre for Child Protection issued an alert through its cybertip.ca program about Snap Maps,
saying users may not realize it updates their location each time they open the app, even when they’re not sharing stories. The group also urges parents to talk to their kids about keeping their location private and ensuring their “friends’’ on Snapchat — and all social media — are people they have met in person. Thierry Plante of the Ottawa-based digi-
tal and media literacy group MediaSmarts pointed to the “troubling consequences’’ of allowing others to know your location. “It becomes a very
useful tracking tool for somebody who has other intentions,’’ Plante said. “Parents do need to be very present in the digital lives of their children and have the conversation about how to use that feature, whether or not that feature is something they should be using or not, and then together, if you have decided to use it, how to set the feature in a way to
minimize that risk.’’ Childnet International also released a statement about the feature last week. “Given how specific this new feature is on Snapchat — giving your location to a precise pinpoint on a map — we would encourage users not to share their location, especially with people they don’t know in person,’’ the group said in a statement.
Canadian mission in Iraq extended to March 2019 OTTAWA — The federal government has ordered the military to stay in Iraq for at least two more years as the fight against the Islamic State prepares to
enter a new phase. But despite a request from NATO for police trainers, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there are “absolutely no plans’’ to send Canadian
troops back into Afghanistan. “We have served there with distinction, with valour, over 10 years and made a significant impact,’’ Trudeau

Trudeau said. “Canada has a strong role to play as part of the international coalition against terrorism.’’ The length of the extension is unprecedented, while the mission itself will undergo significant changes that reflect the large degree of uncertainty around
what will happen in Iraq in the coming months. After working almost exclusively with the country’s Kurdish forces for the past three years, the military is being given leeway to work with different groups, such as the Iraqi military. — Canadian Press

GLOBAL VIEWS
Tentacles of Islamic State reach far and wide
A
month ago, hardly anybody outside the Philippines had ever heard of Marawi. Now it’s the latest front in the war against the Islamic State. More evidence, if you needed it, that the terrorism associated with Islamic State will go on long after Mosul and Raqqa have been liberated and Caliph Ibrahim (Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi) has been killed or captured. “We have actually pre-empted the establishment of a wilayat [a province of Islamic State],� said Ernesto Abella, the spokesperson of Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, which is definitely overstating the case. The response of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) was slow and clumsy and government policy has been lax and inattentive. It’s not even clear that the attempt by the Maute group of Islamist fighters to take over Marawi — an unimportant city of 200,000 people in the centre of Mindanao island in the southern Philippines — was actually a bid to create a wilayat of Islamic State. It is necessary to control some territory to declare a wilayat, so they had a motive, but this fight started almost accidentally. The fighting broke out in the city after a failed attempt to arrest Isnilon Hapilon, a lead-

WATCH ing figure in another, bigger Islamist group called Abu Sayyaf that has also pledged allegiance to Islamic State. Fighters from that outfit and others joined the Maute group that predominates in the Marawi area in a general uprising on May 23 — and the AFP’s reaction was so hesitant that between 400 and 500 fighters were able to take over the city. The insurgents weren’t numerous enough to hold the whole city once the army got its act together, but for the past month they have controlled between 10 and 20 per cent of it. Like every government before it, the Duarte administration has paid little attention to monitoring the seas around the Philippines, so it is easy for foreign militants to slip into the country. It has been far worse than any previous government in its disregard for the law: Duterte’s “dirty war� against drugs has involved thousands of extra-judicial killings. It has been a major distraction (and a huge
crime, of course), and it has effectively de-professionalized the police. Death squads do not do effective police work. Above all, Duterte has failed to push for ratification of the 2014 peace agreement with the largest Muslim separatist group, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. The Front is Islamic, but not extreme Islamist, and the agreement granted it considerable autonomy in the area of central Mindanao under its control. However, the legislation to implement the deal stalled in Congress in 2015 and has never been put back on the agenda. With nothing to show for its attempt to reach a peaceful compromise with the government, the Front leadership has been unable to stop its more hard-line members from defecting to other, more radical groups that reject the agreement. Most of those groups are associated with Islamic State or at least share its ideology, so the situation in Mindanao is worse than it was when the peace deal was signed. The siege of Marawi will be over in another week or so: the AFP claims there are only 100 fighters left in the city (although it isn’t very efficient at sealing off the city and stopping other from arriving). The larger problem of radicalization among discontented and disadvantaged Muslims in Mindanao will continue
— and may well grow. It’s an accident of history that this problem even exists. Islam was being spread east across the islands of Indonesia and the Philippines by Malay traders and there were already several Muslim rulers in the Philippines when the Spanish arrived in 1570. But few of the common people had converted to Islam, except in Mindanao, and under Spanish rule, the rest of the Philippines was converted to Catholicism instead. No cause for complaint there as history is full of accidents like that. But it is true that successive Filipino governments encouraged the emigration of Christians to Mindanao and that Muslims have now fallen to 20 per cent of the population there. Nationwide, only five per cent of the population is Muslim. The demand for a Muslim homeland in the Muslim-majority parts of Mindanao has been strong for decades and a sensible Filipino government would have made the necessary compromises long ago. That’s not going to happen under Duterte, but the worst that can happen is an ugly local problem that need not concern the rest of the world. That is more than can be said for nextdoor Indonesia, which is 90 per cent Muslim and has two-and-a-half times the population of the Philippines. As Gen. Gatot
Nurmantyo, Indonesia’s military chief, said last week, there are Islamic
State-affiliated sleeper cells “in almost every [Indonesian] province.�

Accused denies ISIS support VANCOUVER — A Fort St. John man accused of using his Facebook account to express support of “lone wolf’’ terrorists in the name of the Islamic State said he was on social media to “shine a light’’ on atrocities in the Middle East. Othman Hamdan testified in B.C. Supreme Court Wednesday that his posts highlighted government clashes against citizens during the Arab Spring that started in Tunisia in late 2010 and spread to Syria and elsewhere. Hamdan, 36, told his trial that mainstream media did not initially report people’s suffering, especial-
ly in Syria, where President Bashar Assad’s forces “squashed’’ people trying to hold peaceful protests, resulting in a wave of refugees leaving the region. Hamdan, who described himself as a non-practising Sunni Muslim, said his posts of political satire, poetry, including some he’d written himself, and parodies were used to “highlight the problem’’ through humour and exaggerated blunt statements that were innocuous. Hamdan has pleaded not guilty to encouraging the commission of murder, assault and mischief, as well as inducing and instructing
someone to carry out a terrorist act. The court heard Hamdan left the United Arab Emirates on a student visa and attended a community college in Tucson, Ariz., where he studied electrical engineering. He said he enjoyed the freedom of living in the United States, drank plenty of alcohol and regularly smoked marijuana as he lived the life of a Rastafarian and a drifter who was soul searching. Hamdan told court he faced discrimination in the U.S. after the terrorist attacks in 2001 and that he eventually moved to Vancouver, where he sought refugee status. — Canadian Press

The faith of our fathers
A
s we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation, I thought I would reflect on the people of faith who built this great country. Canada used to be considered a Christian country, but not any longer. And yet the men and women who were instrumental in the development of Canada from just an appendage of Great Britain to the proud country we have today were almost exclusively Christian. The remnants of that Christian influence are everywhere. Take our coat of arms. The crown at the top of the coat of arms has a Christian cross at its peak (with three more visible at the base of crown). The same crown with its crosses adorns the head of the lion holding the maple leaf. The crown, of course, represents the Queen, our head of state, one of whose official titles is Defender of the Faith. That faith is the Christian faith. Included in the coat of arms is the flag of Great Britain, which is composed of two crosses: The English cross of St. George and the Scottish cross of St. Andrew, the patron saints of those countries, respectively. The motto on our coat of arms is “A Mari Ad Mare,” Latin for “from sea to sea”. That quote is from Psalm 72:8 praising the authority of God: “May He also rule from sea to sea.” This motto is also

FAITH
engraved on the east side of Peace Tower of the Parliament buildings in Ottawa, although it is worded slightly differently, using the phrase “He shall have dominion . . .” This is where the name, the Dominion of Canada, comes from. The other two windows of the Peace Tower also have Bible verses engraved on them. On the south side, we read, “Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the King’s son”. That verse is also from Psalm 72. Framing the west window of the Peace Tower is a verse from Proverbs 29: “Where there is no vision the people perish.” Frankly, we always hope our political leaders will have sound vision, but sadly it is something often lacking. The Peace Tower houses the carillon comprising 53 bells. The carillon sounds out the hours of the day and the official carilloneur plays various tunes at different times. Prime Minster Mackenzie King ordered the largest bell inscribed with a verse from the book of Luke: “Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill to men.” So, every hour of every day, the birth of our saviour, Jesus Christ, is celebrated by the highest bell in the land. All of our prime ministers since Confederation had an affiliation with one of the branches of Christianity. Ten were Roman Catholic, four Anglican, three Presbyterian, three Baptist, two Methodist/ United Church, and one (Stephen Harper) Christian and Missionary Alliance, an evangelical denomination started in the U.S. by Canadian A.B. Simpson. Not all of these prime ministers could be considered pious, yet most gave credence to the faith in which they were brought up. Consider this quote from Pierre Elliot Trudeau: “The golden thread of faith is woven throughout the history of Canada, from its beginning up to the present time. Faith was more important than commerce in the minds of the European explorers and settlers. Canadians owe a debt to the faith of our fathers and to the spiritual heritage which finds expression in countless ways in our daily lives.” One of the things we are (mostly) proud of in our country is universal health care — no one is impoverished by having to pay out of pocket for maintaining their health. The driving force behind our health-care system was Baptist preacher Tommy Douglas, premier of
Saskatchewan from 1944 to 1961. From his experience having his leg saved from amputation only because an orthopedic surgeon agreed to perform the surgery at a reduced cost if his students could watch, Douglas became convinced no one should be denied top medical care because of financial need. That experience, plus the influence of social justice minded professors at Brandon College, led to Douglas establishing the first fully funded health-care system in North America. We used to have a Social Credit government in B.C. That party was established by “Bible” Bill Aberhart in Alberta in 1935 when it won a landslide election. Aberhart instituted a number of measures to alleviate poverty during the Depression, but also was noted for his weekly Bible broadcasts on the radio. Even in our own community, the influence of people of faith is evident in place names (Notre Dame Drive, St. Paul Street) and in the oldest building in our community — St. Joseph’s Catholic Church on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve. This Canada Day, let us not forget the people of faith who built this country. KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

KIBT tickets donated in brother’s memory ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
I
t always landed on the weekend of Dick’s birthday. For 20 years, in the stands of the Kamloops International Baseball Tournament, Bob and Dick Graham had been celebrating the elder brother’s birthday, beers and hot dogs in hand. They were fixtures down the first base line, Bob of Kamloops and Dick of Port Coquitlam, the brothers who rarely missed a game. “It was kind of cool — my brother never lived here, but when he would come, everybody would say hi to me because they knew me, but it was just after a few years that Dickie would come and everybody was saying hi to him,” Bob told KTW. “He said, ‘It’s just like I live here.’ “He was going to move here eventually, but that never panned out.” Last year was the first in more than two decades that Bob attended KIBT without his older brother by his side. Just a few days before Dick’s 63rd birthday, the 43rd incarnation of KIBT, the elder Graham died of a massive heart attack. It happened on Canada Day, just short of a week before the weekend’s opening pitch. Bob considered skipping the tournament that year, but at the last minute, he decided he wanted to carry on the tradition. “I wasn’t going to, but I went there and they were just tremendously good to me,” the 60-year-old said. “Dickie loved baseball. . . . KIBT and the people [of it] were very good to my brother and myself.” In honour of the weekend they had so many times shared, Bob made a donation of $1,000 to KIBT this year, with the money to be used to give away tickets in Dick’s name for the weekend at Norbrock Stadium. Bob had considered sponsoring a player’s award, but the ticket giveaways — which have been happening on local radio stations and in KTW, and will see 100 fans earn admission over the tournament’s four days — seemed more appropriate. “Dick’s a fan, why not do it for one of the

fans?” Bob recalled one of his friends suggesting. “My brother loved ball.” Bob’s donation aligns with a larger theme for KIBT 2017, which has seen organizers trying to increase the profile of the semi-professional baseball tournament. Sussex Insurance signed on as the title sponsor in a drive for supporters, the weekend will feature eight teams after playing
with six last year and tournament brass are talking about trying to lure a record turnout of fans. “I think it’s just a selfless act that Bob is doing,” said Norm Daley, who has helped lead the revitalization of KIBT this year. “He loves the game so much and he loves KIBT so much that he has offered to do this. “I think the whole idea is that, hopefully, we can attract some people to come out for a game and then come back for the whole weekend. I think it’s great what he has done and we’re really pleased with his thoughtfulness.” Bob will be remembering Dick’s love of
baseball as he sits on the first base line from July 6 to July 9, watching the Seattle Studs, Everett Merchants, Okanagan Athletics, Highline Bears, Kamloops Sun Devils, Northwest Honkers, St. Albert Tigers and Alaska Goldpanners compete for the 44th KIBT title. He’ll remember the man who loved crosswords, who was a voracious reader and who never forgot anything. He’ll be remembering his best friend. “A lot of people there in the old section will be, too,” Bob said. “There will be some smiles and a few beers over Dick.”

CRIMES OF THE WEEK DO YOU KNOW THIS PERSON As noted in the last couple of weeks there have been a number of people trying to cash and use counterfeit American money in various stores throughout Kamloops. In the past, the suspects had used only $20, this time $100 was used. The suspect entered a convenience store in the Dallas and tried to purchase a couple of small items, then would have taken the rest in change. The store clerk thought something was not right with the bill and refused to take the US money. The suspect was not pleased with the cashier, then grabbed the money back and left the store. The suspect is described as Caucasian, 25 - 30 years old, 5’9’ tall, shaved head, wearing silver chains with a small cross. If you know this person, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of the suspect.

Concrete answers didn’t emerge from a meeting with the Kamloops Blazers’ top unsigned prospect. The Blazers brought the heavyweights — owner Tom Gaglardi, part-owner Shane Doan, general manager Stu MacGregor and head coach Don Hay — to the gathering with Massimo Rizzo, 16, and his father in Vancouver on Wednesday. Rizzo, a top-tier talent who notched 22 goals and 84 points in 48 games with Burnaby Winter Club’s midget prep team in 2016-2017, was the Blazers’ first-round pick in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft, but may play junior A hockey next season in order to maintain his NCAA eligibility. “We’re just continuing to converse and decisions are still moving forward,” MacGregor said. “There’s no final decision either way. It’s really status quo at the moment.” In an interview with KTW in April, MacGregor said he, “would like to think we’ll have a decision by the end of May, end of June.” Canada Day is Saturday, July 1, and still no word on Rizzo’s future as of KTW’s press deadline on Thursday. “The philosophy that we have is that a player should come when he’s ready to be here because he’s going to perform to the best of his ability, for himself and for the team,” MacGregor said on Thursday. “Would you like to know everything about what’s happening with someone? Maybe. But as long as they come when they’re ready to play and they’re comfortable to play, there’s no real timeline for anybody.”
KTW FILE PHOTO
Top prospect Massimo Rizzo has not yet decided if he will play for the Kamloops Blazers.
Hay declined comment, saying MacGregor is the point man on all Rizzo news, but it is safe to assume any head coach would like to know who he is working with sooner than later. “He’s a passionate player who brings a lot of emotion to the game and wears his heart on his sleeve and we believe one day he’ll be a top-end player for us,” Blazers’ director of player personnel Matt Recchi said at the draft last year. Rizzo has potential to change the face of the franchise for the next few years, a game-breaker who was recently invited to Hockey Canada’s under-17 selection camp in advance of the 2017 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament in August. He racked up 60 goals and 137 points in 61 games in his second-year bantam campaign with BWC in 2015-2016. He won the Canadian Sport School Hockey League’s 20162017 Freshman of the Year Award. “It’s probably the hardest decision I’ve had to make so far,”
Rizzo told KTW last August at Blazers’ training camp. “There are lots of options and lots of things to think about, either playing college or Dub (WHL).” Rizzo suited up for three regular-season games and seven playoff games with the junior A B.C. Hockey League’s Penticton Vees in 2016-2017. The highly skilled forward could opt to go the same route taken by Kamloops product Ryan Gropp, who joined the Vees and kept his NCAA options open before eventually signing with the WHL’s Seattle Thunderbirds. Some WHL-drafted players who join junior A squads never return — see Dante Fabbro and Tyson Jost. “They’re just continuing to evaluate and make some determination on what they want to do,” MacGregor said. “They’re trying to decide exactly which is the right route.”

Cochrane nabbed by B.C. Hockey STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
After 11 years, George Cochrane is leaving the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association (KMHA). Cochrane, the head coach of the KMHA for more than a decade, has been tabbed as the manager of B.C. Hockey’s new Okanagan Regional Centre. “It’s brand new, which is one of the exciting things about it,” Cochrane said of the role. “It’s the first regional centre that B.C. Hockey is opening up. Obviously, the main office is on the Island in Victoria, so this will be the only office of its kind outside Victoria. I think it’s really designed to support associations in the region, in the areas of coach, player and officiating development.” The centre will be based in Salmon Arm, with Cochrane travelling throughout the Okanagan to conduct development opportunities, organize events and support associa-

Major Midget League’s Thompson Blazers, a position he took last year. As for the head coach position within KMHA, president Jon Pankuch said the association will evaluate how best to fill the void left by Cochrane as he transitions out of his current role and into his new one in the coming months. “Our next steps are to re-evaluate and decide on whether that role and that position is still relevant in today’s world, in hockey, and what that looks like going forward,” he said. “I think, if anything, you’re always light on operations roles.” It was a tough decision to leave the KMHA, Cochrane said, but after 11 years, it was also time for a change. He’s proud of what the associa-
tion has been able to accomplish in his tenure and is looking forward to his newest challenge. “I think over the years, a lot of things have changed,” Cochrane said. “I think we’ve really grown and evolved with the times and have been somewhat progressive in our thinking. We’ve continued to create a really good place for players and coaches to be a part of a strong minor hockey association. “That’s the thing I look back on the most. Kamloops has always S P R A Y

MLB umpire coaxes woman back from the brink WILL GRAVES
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — John Tumpane can’t explain why he approached the woman as she hopped over the railing of the Roberto Clemente Bridge on Wednesday afternoon. The woman told Tumpane she just wanted to get a better view of the Allegheny
River below. The look on her face and the tone of her voice suggested otherwise to Tumpane, a major league baseball umpire in town to work the series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Tampa Bay Rays. So the 34-year-old Tumpane reached for the woman even as she urged him to let her go. “It was just pure
instinct,’’ Tumpane said . “You hear kind of stories of this all the time, different scenarios, people aiding a situation where I was lucky enough to be there to help and try to think of everything I could do, hanging on to her. At times she wanted to go the other way. I was like, ‘Not on my watch, please.’ We
were just hanging on.’’ And saving a life. Tumpane secured one of her arms. A bystander walked up and grabbed the other, while another — Mike Weinman, an employee for the Rays — clutched her legs and pinned them to the railing while Tumpane mouthed to someone in the crowd to call 911.
What followed were chaotic moments of panic, fear and, ultimately, grace. “I couldn’t tell you how long we were waiting for everyone else to get in place,’’ Tumpane said. “Obviously, another power comes in to be when you’re hanging on and you know what the alternative is of you letting go and not
having other people to help you.” Tumpane, Weinman and the third volunteer clung to the unidentified woman until emergency responders arrived. A police boat raced up the river to the iconic yellow bridge named for the Pirates’ Hall of Famer who died on Dec. 31, 1972, when a plane making humanitar-

Together. “Once they were able to secure her, we were able to talk her back to help us out and we got her back on this side,’’ Tumpane said. “After that, I went up to her, she said, ‘You’ll just forget me after this’ and I said, ‘No, I’ll never forget you.’ This was an unbelievable day and I’m glad to say she can have another day with us and I’m glad I was in the right place at the right time.’’ Tumpane, who grew up in the Chicago suburbs, got into umpiring as a teenager, made his major-league debut in 2012 and received his full-time MLB commission in 2016, stressed he’s no hero. “I just happened to be there,’’ he said. “I think I’ve been a caring person in my life. I saw somebody in need, and it looked like a situation to obviously insert myself and help out.’’ The aftermath was a bit surreal. After the woman was taken away, Tumpane called his wife, his arms still shaking. “Not too many times you call your wife and say you helped save somebody’s life,’’ he said. “A really special moment.’’ One that stayed with him even as he prepared to call balls and strikes behind home plate Wednesday night. During breaks in the action his eyes would drift to the bridge just a few hundred feet behind the centre field wall at PNC Park. “It’s also hard when you stand back behind home plate and look and you see the bridge in the distance, in between innings and whatnot, just thinking of how things could have maybe been,’’ he said. “Glad it was this way.’’

SEMENKO, GRETZKY’S PROTECTOR, DIES AT 59 THE CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — Dave Semenko, the former NHL tough guy who served as Wayne Gretzky’s bodyguard and once went three rounds with boxing legend Muhammad Ali, has died of pancreatic cancer. He was 59. The Edmonton Oilers confirmed Semenko’s death in a statement on Thursday. “Dave will be remembered as a fierce competitor, loyal teammate, fan favourite and dear friend to so many,’’ the team said. “His legendary toughness on the ice is surpassed only by his kindness and caring for others, and his equally legendary wit and sense of humour.’’ In an era where hulking enforcers roamed the ice alongside the league’s top stars, Semenko was one of the toughest. And he had plenty of competition, often going toe-totoe with the likes of Bob
Probert, Basil McRae and Tim Hunter, who served a similar role for the arch-rival Flames. Oilers’ executive Kevin Lowe, a star defenceman on Edmonton’s Stanley Cup champion squads, called Semenko the “Wayne Gretzky of the tough guys’’ in his book Champions. “The news of Dave passing this morning literally took my breath away,’’ said Hall of Famer Mark Messier, a longtime teammate of Semenko. “I loved Semenk like we all did. He was a great teammate, a loyal friend, a loving father, and a worthy champion. Rest in peace, my friend.’’ Semenko, a Winnipeg native, played for years with the Brandon Wheat Kings before being drafted 25th overall by the NHL’s Minnesota North Stars and 21st overall by the World Hockey Association’s Houston Aeros in the leagues’ respective 1977 drafts.

Dave Semenko in his fighting prime in the 1980s. The noted enforcer and last man to score a goal in the WHA, died Thursday of pancreatic cancer. He was 59.
He started his pro career in 1977-1978 with the Oilers, when the team was still in the WHA, and played in Edmonton until he was traded to Hartford on Dec. 12, 1986. During that time, he amassed 1,279 penalty minutes over 596 WHA and NHL games while opening up the ice for Gretzky and the Oilers’ other skilled forwards. He helped Edmonton
BC Place Stadium to host Canada vs. U.S. Canada’s women’s soccer team will battle its American rivals in two games in the fall. The Canadians and Americans will clash on Nov. 9 at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver in the first of two friendlies between the North American foes. The second match is Nov. 12 in the United States. “There is always a friendly rivalry with the USA and it’s also hard to forget London 2012 — that memory sticks with you,’’ said Canada’s coach John Herdman. “But what this match offers us, at near the beginning of our fouryear cycle, is a chance to get another true tier 1 test with a young team. “By the end of this year, we will have played the Olympic gold and silver medallists and the world’s No. 1 team, so this match will really give us a good indication of where our gaps are, two and three years out from the FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019 and Tokyo 2020 Olympics.’’ Canada, No. 4 in the FIFA women’s rankings, lost to the top-ranked Americans in the semifinals of the London Olympics, an epic battle and one of the most memorable moments from those Games. Canada hasn’t beaten the United States since 2001, although Herdman’s first game with Canada was a 1-1 draw against the U.S. in 2011. The past two games saw a 1-1 draw in Winnipeg and a 2-0 loss in the final of the CONCACAF Olympic qualifyier in 2016. Canada went on to capture bronze at last summer’s Rio Olympics, while the Americans were ousted in the quarter-finals. “It’s a good opportunity for this new generation, including [Jessie] Fleming, [Ashley] Lawrence, [Kadeisha] Buchanan and young [Jordyn] Huitema, who have not experienced the USA too often in their international careers, to go out with a fresh perspective and positive mindset,’’ Herdman said. “We are only three spots back from them, with three close matches in our recent history, and these players have been accustomed to success.’’ Canada’s captain Christine Sinclair said reaching the No. 1 world ranking is a goal within Canada’s grasp. “When I was a rookie, it would have been hard for me to say at 16-yearsold that we want Canada to be No. 1 because that was not realistic, but that’s what we are driving towards now and it’s completely realistic,’’ she said. — Canadian Press
win its first two Stanley Cups in 1984 and ‘85. Not the swiftest skater — he was often called “Cementhead’’ by fans of opposing teams — he was still a considerable force who often played on Edmonton’s top line. He would use his six-foot-three, 215pound frame like a bulldozer, clearing a way for offensive wizards like Gretzky and Jari Kurri to work their magic.
Semenko was not counted on to be a prolific goal scorer; in fact, he had 81 over his pro career playing on some of the most potent offensive teams in hockey. But he did score the last-ever goal in WHA history before the league merged with the NHL in 1979. Semenko’s famed scrapping skills off the ice earned him a fight
with a 41-year-old Ali in an exhibition bout on June 12, 1983, that was organized by Mark Messier’s uncle Larry. The three-round match,watched by some 6,000 fans in Edmonton, was judged a draw, though the Associated Press report on the fight said Ali, a three-time world heavyweight champion who had recently retired, mostly toyed with Semenko. Semenko retired after the 1987-1988 NHL season. He had 65 goals, 88 assists and 1,175 penalty minutes in 575 NHL games with Edmonton, Hartford and Toronto, and 16 goals, 20 assists and 298 penalty minutes in 142 WHA games with the Oilers. The role that Semenko helped make famous has gradually faded from the NHL, as tough guys have been phased out in favour of smaller, more skilled players. It’s a trend that has been lamented
by some in the game. Former enforcer Marty McSorley, speaking in 2000 after he was convicted of assault for hitting Donald Brashear with his stick during a game, said restrictions on tough guys would allow checking-line players to take liberties with the NHL’s stars. “If Dave Semenko had the restrictions on him there are now, it would have made life a lot tougher for Wayne Gretzky. “The enforcer’s job is to keep stars healthy and focused on the finesse part of the game,” McSorley said. “Maybe the enforcer’s role will be obsolete, but only when second- and third-line players raise the level of their game to that of first liners instead of hooking, holding and taking liberties.’’ After retiring, Semenko became a colour commentator on Oilers radio broadcasts and an assistant coach with Edmonton during the 1996-1997 season.
Argos wary of Jennings DAN RALPH
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — In Marcus Ball’s mind, Jonathon Jennings is the epitome of a dual-threat quarterback. “He’s a playmaker, he’s dynamic,’’ Ball said of the B.C. Lions’ pivot. “The guy can make every throw on the field. He’s young, so he’s energetic. “He’s gutsy, which is a good thing. He’s a gunslinger, he’s trying to get it downfield to make plays and win the game.’’ Ball will face Jennings for the first time Friday when the Toronto Argonauts host B.C. at BMO Field. Game time is 4 p.m. on TSN. Ball was with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers when Jennings joined the Lions in 2015, making six starts that season before taking over as the full-time starter last year. Jennings, a 24-year-old native of Columbus, Ohio, has wasted no time establishing himself as a bona fide CFL star. Last season, he finished third overall in passing yards (5,226) and TDs (27) and second among quarterbacks in rushing (363 yards, 5.3-yard average with four touchdowns).
B.C. LIONS’ QB LEADS TEAM INTO TORONTO FOR 4 P.M. SHOWDOWN He led B.C. (12-6) to second in the West Division and a 32-31 win over Winnipeg in the division semifinal. But the Lions’ season ended a week later, losing 42-15 to Calgary in the division final. Jennings completed 22-of-34 passes for 264 yards and ran for 32 yards on five carries in B.C.’s season-opening 30-27 home loss to the Edmonton Eskimos. Toronto’s defence didn’t allow a TD in the club’s 32-15 home win over Hamilton on Sunday, holding the Tiger-Cats to 258 total yards. “The goal is always to play a complete game, but [playing B.C.] it’s a totally different team, a totally different gameplan, a totally different challenge,’’ Ball said. “They’re a very athletic team. They have a lot of speed, a lot of playmakers who make a lot of big plays. They make it happen.’’ Veterans Emannuel Arceneaux and Bryan Burnham anchor the Lions’ receiving corps. Arceneaux was the CFL’s
third-leading receiver last year with 105 catches for 1,566 yards and 13 TDs while Burnham (79 receptions, 1,392 yards, three touchdowns) was fourth overall. But B.C. also had 22 rushing attempts for 130 yards (5.9-yard average) and two touchdowns against Edmonton. Jeremiah Johnson led the way with 92 yards on 14 carries (6.6-yard average) and a touchdown. “Hamilton has always had that pass-first mentality, whereas this week we’re playing a Wally Buono-coached team, where it’s a run-first mentality on first down,’’ said Toronto defensive co-ordinator Corey Chamblin. “They wear you down with the run then try to get to the play-actions and those things . . . . we have to prepare for everything they’re going to throw at us. “He[(Jennings] is a very good quarterback . . . but the tough thing about it is they’re a balanced offence. so as to how we prepare for these guys, we have to see what their plan is coming in and try to adjust to what they’re doing.’’

Obituaries & In Memoriam Pamela Marie Ricalton October 28, 1960 – June 19, 2017
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Pamela Marie Ricalton. She was a loving daughter, sister, aunt, mother and friend who will be greatly missed. Pam is survived by her parents Jack and Lucy Flottorp of Port Coquitlam, BC, her sister Susanne (Tim) Hawker and their children Lexie and Cameron of Port Coquitlam, BC, sister-in-law Barb Flottorp and her children Nikki (Jason) Fowles and Ryan Flottorp of Kamloops, BC. Pam also left behind her children Ashley and Kevin Ricalton of Kamloops, BC. Pam was predeceased by her loving brother Dan Flottorp. Pam was a cheerful woman who had the greatest laugh. She loved singing, listening to music and golfing. Pam had such an internal joy that could brighten anyone’s day. You could hear her infectious laugh a mile away. Pam was a wonderful primary teacher who obtained her masters degree all while raising her family, working fulltime, and unaware that she was
in the early stages of Alzheimers. Unfortunately, this once very vibrant woman had to be admitted into the Overlander Residential Care Facility in January of 2011. Pam remained there until her passing at the very young age of 56. We would like to thank the amazing staff at Overlander for their constant care, love and support for Pam and our family. We are truly grateful and forever thankful to know that she was so well taken care of.
May 23, 1957 – July 1, 2015
Our memory of you will never fade and we will never forget you. We love you and miss you dearly. We know that you and Dan are now at peace and will take good care of each other. Please join us on Saturday, July 8, 2017 at 1:00 pm at the Desert Gardens in Kamloops, BC for a “Forget-Me-Not Tea Party” in Pam’s memory. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC would be appreciated.
If I should die and leave you here a while, be not like others sore undone, who keep long vigil by the silent dust. You will always be in our hearts and by our sides. You walk beside us every day unseen but we know you are near. You are missed and loved. Always Remembered.
Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

TURN AGAIN TO LIFE MARY LEE HALL
“There is one thing Alzheimer’s cannot take away, and that is love. Love is not a memory - it’s a feeling that resides in your heart and soul.”
For my sake turn again to life and smile, nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine. Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine and I perchance may therein comfort you.

A Vanished Friend by Anders Lim
Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!
Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director
Every Friday in KTW!
Q. I hear you don’t use cardboard. Why not?
!
A. Before cremation, the body must go into a big box. It’s the law. Cardboard boxes are very cheap and funeral homes can charge a lot for them. We use wood instead of cardboard, and make a little less money. It’s the principle, and the same reason we give you a nice wooden urn. !

DOUG’S DRAGONS’ DEN Kamloops artist transitions into retirement after 28 years selling clay figurines
JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER

L
ast year, Douglas Flach’s granddaughter was married at a former winery on Vancouver Island. The ladies in the wedding party got changed in a little shed, among old buildings on the property. In one corner of that shed, on the ledge of a window covered in dust and cobwebs, sat a clay dragon. It was one of Flach’s dragons, created the very year his granddaughter was born. “It blew everybody’s mind,” Flach said. “She came out holding it and she said, ‘Look what I’ve got.’ Toes broken off of it, chipped wings — but it was still there.” In almost three decades, the Kamloops artist has made more than 90,000 clay figurines, which are undoubtedly scattered throughout homes and businesses, dwellings of Dungeons and Dragons players and the odd shed in the River City and across the country, where Flach has been travelling to craft fairs from his Barnhartvale home to find people to adopt his dragons. Flach’s career is slowing down as he transitions into retirement. He is done with craft fairs and will no longer travel to Edmonton for the

lucrative Butterdome Craft Sale, to Calgary for the entertaining Comic and Entertainment Expo or down the road in Kamloops for Art in the Park on Canada Day, where he had sold dragons since the beginning. “Riverside Park every year,” Flach said. “For the whole 28 years.” Flach contacted KTW wishing to notify his regular dragon collectors that he will not be in the park on Saturday and KTW visited his workshop to learn how one Kamloops man’s childhood passion for
plasticine evolved into earning a unique living through art. “It’s almost like a Peter Pan thing,” Flach said. “I never had to grow up.” The first-ever recipient of funds from Community Futures, a Kamloops non-profit that helped kickstart his business in the 1980s, Flach began selling dragons in stores before realizing craft fairs were more lucrative. He cut out the middle man and kept more of the profits. “They take 50 per cent,” he said. “I was making a living, but just barely.”
But what became a full-time business that even required the odd helper started as a passion for playing with clay. Flach never graduated from high school, but convinced his parents he should attend the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts (now Emily Carr University of Art and Design). Flach wasn’t much for the classroom and art school was no different. He lasted just one year before leaving and accepting a job with an oil company, working the odd sales gig for the first half of
his adult working life. “Then I found this,” Flach said. He made his first dragon with clay he foraged from the bank of a creek while camping in 1986. The campfire was his first kiln, but wouldn’t be his last. Flach found his way into a neighbour’s workshop and dragonmaking became a stress release from the 9-to-5 life. Then he tried selling them. “I took some big ones [to a craft fair],” he said. “But I also took some guys in eggs and I sold every one of them. I thought, ‘Gosh, I mean I was selling
them for five bucks. But I thought maybe that’s the way to go.” The figurines evolved. What began as realistic looking dragons one might find in a fairytale turned into the cartoonish, friendly looking dragon for which Flach has become known. “And then I wondered what he looked like out of the egg,” Flach said. “So he came out.” Today, he has designed more than 200 different characters from black, terra cotta and grey earthenware clay off the top of his head in his
basement workshop. Dragon Works takes up the entire lower level of his house, with separate stations set up for moulding, firing, painting and packaging. Up to 85 dragons are fired for seven hours in the kiln, which is located outside of the house to prevent fumes from entering the home but protected from the elements with an outdoor wall. Then the dragons are glazed to add definition to the scales and head back into the kiln to be fired at a higher temperature for another eight hours. See CLAY, B3

CANADA DAY in Kamloops
• RIDE, DON’T DRIVE: Avoid parking frustrations and taxi fares by hopping aboard public transit or riding a bicycle. Catching a bus is free on Saturday and hours are extended to ensure locals have a chance to watch the fireworks and get home safely. Saturday service will be in effect, with additional rides until 9:30 p.m. on the 16 Juniper Ridge and extra service leaving downtown at 11:30 p.m. on the following routes: 1 Tranquille, 2 Parkcrest, 3 Westsyde, 4 Pacific Way, 5 Pineview, 7 Aberdeen, 9 Gleneagles, 16 Juniper Ridge and 17 Dallas. For more, go online to bctransit.com/kamloops or call 250-376-1216. Meanwhile, hop on a bicycle and head to the west side of Riverside Park, where the Kamloops Music Collective will supervise bicycle parking in the tennis courts between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Just be sure to bring a bike lock. Kamloops Heritage Railway is also hosting a special Canada 150 departure from the Lorne Street station. Reservations are required online at kamrail.com or by calling 250-374-2141. • FLIP OUT FOR PANCAKES: Early risers can visit the Tennis Courts in Riverside Park for a pancake breakfast at 7 a.m. on Canada Day. Grab a coffee and beat the heat. • RED, WHITE AND GREEN: With Riverside Park filled with people en masse to eat, shop and celebrate — waste can sure add up. The ECOSmart team will be on hand, offering new waste stations to recycle and compost. Visitors are also encouraged to bring a water bottle and utilize water stations throughout the park. Skipping bottled water means $2 more for henna tattoos. • SUMMER SIGHTS AND SOUNDS: Canada Day also marks the official start to summer theatre and music in Kamloops parks. The Rivertown Players will be performing children’s theatre on the corner of Third Avenue and Lorne Street, while Music in the Park kicks off at 7 p.m. at the bandshell. Multiple acts will lead up to the fireworks display, including: Bob Seger Revue at 7 p.m., Buck Wild at 8:15 p.m. and Big River (Johnny Cash tribute) at 9:15 p.m. Bring a blanket or lawn chair and grab a seat. It wraps up at 10:15 p.m. To read about a future Music in the Park act, turn to B5. • CHEERS TO CANADA: A beer garden will be located in the west end of Riverside Park from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Just be sure to bring ID because a senior was reportedly turned away in recent years for not having valid identification. Rules are rules. If you do decide to continue the celebration elsewhere, simply walk across the street to the Shark Club patio or meander up the road to the Central Station Pub, Carlos O’Bryans or the Commodore Grand Cafe and Lounge. Just be sure to drink responsibly and watch for oncoming traffic. • FIREWORKS: The fireworks begin at about 10:30 p.m. Whether you’re watching from home, a boat on the river or in Riverside Park, be sure to glance across the river. The show is expected to be twice as good as in recent years, with extra fire power to celebrate Canada 150. • ART IN THE PARK: The Kamloops Arts Council has included open-mic during this year’s Art in the Park festivities. Bring a musical instrument and sign up to perform from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. by the waterpark. More than 100 artists and artisans will also be on hand from as far away as Alberta. Other highlights will include the Djembe Django Drummers, from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and First Nations storytelling, dance and choir performances from 12:15 p.m. to 3 p.m., all on the stage on the southeast side of the park. Finally, paint a piece of a Canada 150 inspired interactive mural led by artist Chris Bose near Heritage House. • SUPPORT LOCAL: Project X Theatre will be hosting a booth selling iced tea, popcorn and candy. It will also be fundraising with a raffle. Prizes include tickets to X Fest — which will feature The Jungle Book and Rapunzel in Prince Charles Park from July 10 to July 29 — a MacBook Air, Copper Moon cruiser bike and family fun pack, complete with a 4Cats package, Rapunzel dress and braided hair piece from Tumbleweed Toys and family tickets to Chimera Theatre’s Knights of the Sun Medieval Tournament Theatre.

• RIVERSIDE PARK: Locals looking to celebrate on Canada Day should look no further than Riverside Park for a day chock full of festivities. Peruse artisans and vendors during Art in the Park, grab a plate of pasta and peach cookies from the Can-Ital ladies as part of a multi-cultural array of cuisines, contribute to a First Nations mosaic, take a dip in the Thompson River and cap it all off with a colourful display of fireworks in the evening.

“As soon as it hits 2,100 [degrees Fahrenheit], then I let it cool over night, take it out of the kiln, finish painting them and then hopefully sell them off,” he said. A tiered shelf, which Flach calls his museum, showcases dragons with different hobbies and occupations, as well as novelty figurines such as the flasher: a dragon with his jacket open and a jewel placed — well, you get the picture. Wire detailing can give a dragon traits as simple as glasses or yellow painted hair and a long red tie can transform one into the president of the United States. Local Girl Guides receive custom dragons as milestone memorabilia and Flach has made memorial dragons of deceased loved ones for grandkids and children. The most popular? A marijuana-toking dragon, which exhales smoke thanks to coneshaped incense. “You know the stick incense? Same idea. You light it on the top, you let it burn for a while and then you blow it out and then it starts to smoke. I’ve got a little base, like this. I put it there, put the guy over top and that’s what happens,” Flach said. “He is the bestseller of all the ones I’ve got.” Flach has shared many laughs over things like toking dragons. He will miss visiting with collectors at craft fairs and watching parents break something after telling their children not to touch.

Nonetheless, he said the time is right to transition into retirement. “I’m 76 years old, so I’m getting old,” Flach said. “When I am doing the dragons, I do a craft fair, I come home and I have to make up for all the ones I sell before I go to the next craft fair, so there’s not much

—CAMERON CHARTERS, portrays Paul McCartney in Beatlemania On Tour
before making what Charters called an “obvious transition”
into the mop tops and Love Me Do’s of the British rock legends.
“I actually wanted to be John Lennon to begin with but I got
outvoted,” he said. Charters landed in the shoes of Paul McCartney,
J U LY 1 0 T O 2 9 • P R I N C E C H A R L E S PA R K
a role he said is often difficult to fill when covering the Beatles for several reasons, including having to play bass guitar lefthanded. Those details are important, Charters said, so he sought to master the positioning with which he was not naturally familiar. Feelings of being unco-ordinated subsided after about three months of getting his head around the fact that “everything is backwards. “I just practised, practised, practised,” Charters said. Other mannerisms — wigs, banter, head wobbles and costumes — will help transform the 37-year-old into Beatles-era McCartney when Beatlemania On Tour stops in Kamloops on Wednesday, July 5. KTW caught up with the Aussie by phone from his hometown of Newcastle, which is located some 160 kilometres northeast of Sydney. One obvious hurdle to portraying McCartney seemed to be the elongated vowels that come with Charters’ accent. “Well, on stage, I do the McCartney accent,” he said. “It wouldn’t be quite right if we all got on stage and talked like Aussies.” Charters, along with Brent McMullen (George Harrison), Ben Harper (Ringo Starr) and Zac Coombs (John Lennon) have performed together around the world, taking audiences on a
musical ride through Beatles history. They’re singing Eight Days a Week five days a week this year while touring Australia, Canada, South Africa and, for the first time, the United States. KTW quizzed John about some of his Beatles favourites. Costume? Sergeant Pepper. Music? Early rock and roll. (Think Twist and Shout.) Compared to other tribute acts, Charters said its easy to update a Beatles show, given their vast music catalogue. His musical tastes are less commercial — and he can’t imagine covering Alice in Chains. Charters once aspired to pursue his own music, but said it has become more of a hobby. “The tribute things just work very well . . .” he said. “I started my own solo album three times. Nothing I’m entirely happy with.” In Kamloops, audiences can expect a “celebration” of the Beatles’ career, complete with singing and dancing. Beatlemania On Tour is at Sagebrush Theatre on Wednesday, July 5. Tickets can be purchased from Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483 or kamloopslive.ca. The show starts at 8 p.m.
Is Paul dead?
John Lennon was shot and killed in 1980. George Harrison died of cancer in 2001. Ringo Starr is still alive. And rumours swirled — long before the Internet started killing off celebrities — that Paul McCartney died. The conspiracy theory alleged McCartney was secretly replaced by a look-alike. “I think he’s still very much alive and kicking,” Charters said. “And still alive and creating great music.”

t wasn’t writing or recording a new album that “nearly killed” Declan O’Donovan. It was waiting for it to be released. “We finished our record nearly a year ago,” the singer-songwriter told KTW from Whitehorse. “We finished production. It was mastered and it was ready to go 10 months ago.” The business of music delayed the process, things like securing publicists and ensuring the album would be marketed properly. Being an independent artist, O’Donovan said he has to wait for the album to be finished in order to get support. It has meant investing himself fully, stress and all. “It’s an incredible life but it’s kind of a crappy job,” O’Donovan said. He has found support, however, both from a Japanese record label that showed interest in his first album and also in securing funding to make a music video for the song Down
KIERAN O’DONOVAN PHOTO Musician Declan O’Donovan says he is the proverbial love child of Tom Waits, Randy Newman and Bob Dylan, “but they didn’t really like the child.”
Sample the music online at kamloopsthisweek.com to the Bottom. The video was spearheaded by O’Donovan’s friend from Montreal, Dustyn Lucas. If waiting nearly killed O’Donovan, the video perhaps nearly killed Lucas, who sacrificed hours of sleep to come up with artsy footage that O’Donovan said is “weird as hell,” but “looks great.” “That guy put in a month’s work just on his own dime,” O’Donovan said. KTW caught up with O’Donovan on the first day of his tour to promote Broken Sky, which was released, to his relief, on June 2. The tour fittingly began in O’Donovan’s
hometown of Whitehorse and continues throughout B.C. with a stop in Kamloops for Music in the Park this Tuesday. “I’m really looking forward to that because up until that show, everything is inside,” O’Donovan said. “So we’ll get a chance to breath.” He typically splits his time between Whitehorse, Montreal and Toronto. Asked to describe his musical sound, the musician said he fits into the alternativeroots category but doesn’t wish to pigeonhole himself early in his career. Instead, he prefers to offer up his musical influences: Tom Waits,
Randy Newman and Bob Dylan. “It’s kind of like the love child of those three guys, but they didn’t really like the child,” O’Donovan said. He can crush piano and said those who attend his show on Tuesday can expect to dance. His tour will head to Japan in late July, where he will perform on Mount Fuji during the Fuji Rock Festival. “Which is blowing my mind,” he said. “It should be very cool.” Tuesday’s free show is from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Conan legacy immortalized via Netflix, audio books, board game
I
am on the weirdest Conan kick as of late. And by Conan, I am talking about Conan the Barbarian. People are probably most familiar with the 1982 Conan the Barbarian movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and rightfully so — it’s an awesome movie. The sequel Conan the Destroyer isn’t as good, most likely because it was made by different people who took it from a R rating down to PG, but Arnie becoming the iconic image of Conan isn’t a bad legacy. I just watched the first movie again recently on Netflix. It is truly a powerhouse of sword and sorcery. With minimal dialogue — not counting Schwarzenegger’s frequent “gahs” and “dahs” — the movie

Conan has been featured in books, comics and on the silver screen, portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is also the subject of the board game, Conan.
is driven by a monumentally epic and grandiose soundtrack, as well as creative and captivating costumes and sets. Not to mention Schwarzenegger is in
his prime decapitating people at will. The Lord of the Rings movies are great, but when it comes to fantasy movies, Conan is king. Besides, by the end
of Return of the King, you’re just hoping Sam is going to throw Frodo into that volcano, too. I digress. I used to watch the Conan the Adventurer cartoon when I was a kid. To this day, I still randomly get the theme song stuck in my head. I wouldn’t recommend trying to go back to watch those episodes though. I’m sure they’re probably still enjoy-

able for children, but it pales in comparison to watching Schwarzenegger murder giant snake monsters with his sword, with blood shooting all over the place. Seriously, they were extremely liberal with the blood spray in that first movie. I think this latest Conan craze I’m on began a couple of weeks ago, when my friend Jason brought his Conan board game in for us to play. You get to play as Conan and various other warriors against a player who controls the evil — or, perhaps, misunderstood — characters and battle through different scenarios. The game uses fantastic miniatures of the characters and Jason did a great job painting his pieces. It made the game more enjoyable. You get a certain
amount of action points (cool little jewel pieces) to spend each turn for things like movement, attacks and even to defend yourself. So, you have to think about how you spend the jewels. I, playing as Conan, naturally recklessly charged head first into battle to slay as many evil wizards as I could. We lost, but I did slay the wizard before he turned into some kind of giant winged demon monster — so that counts as a moral victory for Conan. Now that I’m all jazzed up on Conan, I am going to buy the original stories written by Robert E. Howard on audio book. Don’t get me wrong, I probably should just read the actual book and not just listen to it, but I’m still working my way through the complete works of H.P.
Lovecraft, the horror writer who created Cthulhu and was a friend of Howard’s. That thing is huge, printed in tiny font on the super thin paper used in bibles. It’s going to take awhile. I’ve also always meant to read the old Savage Sword of Conan comic books they used to print in black and white magazine format. They were printed as “magazines” so they didn’t fall under the old Comics Code Authority rules, which meant they could be extremely violent. Those old comics are now reprinted in phonebook-sized collections, so that should also keep me busy. Nick Klie is manager of High Octane Comics. For more, visit 250-Third Ave. or call 250-377-8444.

A day in the life in Mumbai The iconic Victoria Terminus Station (re-named Chhatrapathi Shivaji Terminus) built in the Gothic-revival style of architecture is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

I
am standing near a massive archway, appropriately called the Gateway of India, where the Arabian Sea swells against the shores of India’s most powerful and dynamic city — Mumbai. The rise and fall of voices, the cries of vendors, the persistent beeping of car horns, the rush and roar of traffic are the sounds of a city that throbs to the heartbeat of 20-million people who call it home. If you have just one day in this bold, brassy city, here are some sightseeing suggestions: • Drop into the iconic Taj Mahal Hotel, Mumbai’s equivalent to Singapore’s Raffles Hotel, located just opposite the Gateway. It has played host to glamorous movie stars, eccentric maharajas, statesmen and international royalty. Bragworthy experience: a peg of Scotch at the famed Taj Harbour Bar or lunch (pricey) in the Sea Lounge. • Colourful and chaotic, Colaba Causeway’s restaurants and shops are just a short walk from the Taj. The sidewalks are crowded with stalls selling flashy knick-knacks and souvenirs. Avid shoppers bargain above the belch and wheeze of buses and blaring taxi

klaxons. Pick up a fauxleather handbag, try on a pair of sandals or haggle over the price of a miniature marble Taj Mahal. • Cafe Mondegar, a Zoroastrian Irani restaurant, has famed cartoonist Mario Miranda’s murals on Life in Bombay gracing the walls. Try their shandies (beer and lemonade) for a midmorning refresher. • Farther along the Causeway is Leopold Café, made famous by Gregory David Robert’s book Shantaram.
Students and foreign backpackers jam the place. Sip an iced coffee and eavesdrop on conversations interspersed with typical Mumbai slang: “Yaar” (buddy) and “Bilkul!” (absolutely!). • Head to Colaba’s 1st Pasta Lane, where the best of Mumbai’s street food is to be had at a no-frills restaurant: Kailash Parbat. Order a plate of a Mumbai “chaat” specialty: bhelpuri — a combination of puffed rice, onions, green chilies, potatoes and chick-pea flour
noodles, invigorated with a tamarind chutney. Finish off with kulfi malai — a rich creamy cardamom-flavoured dessert. More snack enticements on the menu: samosas, dahi-wadas, pakoras and kebabs. • Drop in to the Jehangir Art Gallery a short walk away at Kala Ghoda, and view a diverse exhibition of works by both traditional and contemporary artists. • Stroll past the city’s grand neoGothic buildings along
Mahatma Gandhi Road: the University of Bombay with its Rajabai Clock Tower and, further on, the Bombay High Court. Both buildings face the Oval Maidan, where several simultaneous matches by teams of cricket-crazy Mumbaikers are a familiar sight. • Flora Fountain stands at the centre of five arterial streets that pin-wheel off its hub (Hutatma Chowk). The surrounding buildings (banks and corporate offices) are
stolidly Victorian and the area is comparable to London’s Piccadilly Circus. • Be ensnared by the bustling sidewalk stalls of Fashion Street leading off Hutatma Chowk. On offer are colourful cotton kaftans, T-shirts, kurtas, fake designer jeans, hats and more. Bargaining is de rigueur. • Victoria Terminus: officially called Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, it is popularly referred to as VT. A Victorian Gothic-
