Kamloops city councillors have harsh words for Greyhound Canada in the wake of another round of potential service cuts for the city and surrounding communities. The bus line has applied to the provincial passenger board to reduce its minimum route frequency across the province, citing “unsustainable” losses of about $14 million in B.C. While Kamloops would lose a few of its daily departures — the number of buses leaving for Vancouver and Alberta would fall from a minimum of 56 to 42 per week, for example — Mayor Peter Milobar said he’s more concerned for people living in smaller, regional communities. If Greyhound’s application is successful, the community of Clearwater is set to lose one of its two daily stops and it’s not clear if it will be the afternoon or 2 a.m. departure that remains. “It wasn’t that long ago that they actually reduced the routes down,” Miobar said. “It seems like Greyhound is trying to get down to the point where it’s a packagedelivery service that hap-

pens to pick up people when it’s not inconvenient for the people driving freight around the province.” Milobar also criticized the time period the bus line had allowed for public comment. The submission period closed on Wednesday, Oct. 17, one day after council had its first chance to discuss the route change. Coun. Marg Spina said she’s concerned about the effect the service cut could have on seniors who no longer drive. Spina argued the bus line shouldn’t be allowed to operate without competition as it does in the province if it’s not going to run adequate routes. “They have the monopoly. If they can’t do a good job of it, I say open it up and let the market settle it that way.” Coun. Pat Wallace said she had little sympathy for the bus line. “I think we should write a very strong letter of disenchantment,” she said. “We don’t know their economics and it’s probably not our business,” Wallace said. “But, I can tell you the few times I’ve gone up there to send something, they’re unloading a tremendous amount of freight — and that’s money.”

2015 Special Olympics on way to city

Swanson’s thrushes in Vancouver and Kamloops were fitted with light-detecting geo-locators as researchers sought to determine the paths the Vancouver group and Kamloops collection take to get to Central America in the winter. As the map to the right shows, the Vancouver birds took the Pacific Coast route, while the Tournament Capital thrushes preferred to cross the Rockies and fly through the U.S. Deep South.

A WINTER THRUSH RUSH VIA VERY DIFFERENT ROUTES B By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

IRDS OF A feather might not always flock together after all. That’s what a University of B.C. researcher discovered after studying data collected from a Kamloops-specific group of songbird. Kira Delmore, a PhD student in zoology at UBC, attached 38 “backpacks” to birds in two groups of Swainson’s thrushes — a medium-sized songbird found in forested areas across North America. One group was in the Vancouver area; the other in and around Kamloops.

“We wanted to see whether these two groups are taking different routes to get to their wintering grounds,” Delmore told KTW, explaining the birds spend the cold months in Central America. “And, we found these guys really were taking very different routes.” Not only that, they also fly solo. Delmore said thrushes fly alone and at night, unlike other birds that migrate in groups. While the Lower Mainland birds flew south along the Pacific Coast, following the water to their winter hangout, the heartier Interior thrushes took a route east over the Rocky Mountains and south, stopping in Alabama before

crossing the Gulf of Mexico and heading to Central America. That determination — something Delmore said had already been a common belief among zoologists — was just the first part of the research, though. Now, she’s looking at a “hybrid-zone” group of Swainson’s thrushes west of Kamloops, where the two groups have been interbreeding and creating a new group. “The routes the birds are taking are genetically determined,” she said. “They’re not getting help from their friends. So, this hybrid group, rather than going east or south, we think

maybe they’ll go somewhere in between.” That in-between route might be over the Cascade Mountains, Delmore said. And, it won’t be long before she knows for sure. “We have the data back and I’m just in the middle of analyzing it,” she said. “Hopefully, we’ll know within a few months.” Delmore said the information will be passed on to conservation officials along the birds’ routes. For instance, she said, authorities in Alabama will be notified about the pit stop the Kamloops thrushes make, with the goal of having the data considered when new conservancy projects are planned.

How do you get backpacks on little birds? Very carefully . . . Fitting locator units on birds that weigh between an ounce and 1.5 ounces is no easy task, Delmore said, so researchers had to think outside the box. Swainson’s thrushes, she said, are not big enough to support a GPS unit. Instead, researchers fastened tiny light-detecting geolocators to the birds’ backs. “It measures the intensity of the light,” Delmore said. “Basically, it tells us how long the day was and when noon was. “From there, we can determine longitude and latitude.”

Kamloops will play host to about 700 athletes with disabilities in February 2015 when it hosts the B.C. Special Olympic Winter Games. Lois McNary, vicepresident of sport for Special Olympics B.C. appeared before city council this week to ask the city to officially invite the organization to host its event here. She said Kamloops has a “proven record of hosting athlete-centric Games,” noting the city impressed organizers when it last played host to the Games in 2003. The Games will feature athletes going for gold in the seven Special Olympics B.C. winter sports: Alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, curling, figure skating, floor hockey, snowshoeing and speed skating. At stake is the opportunity to advance to national and international levels of competition. Top performers in Kamloops will earn the right to advance to the 2016 Special Olympics Canada Winter Games in Corner Brook, N.L., where participants will compete for the chance to move on to the 2017 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Austria. Athletes will stay in School District 73 classrooms throughout the Kamloops event.

Postal union warns of longer delivery times in city By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Christmas postal season will be “a nightmare” for Kamloops residents due to a move by Canada Post to have local letters sorted in Vancouver, according to the head of the local postal workers’ union. Beginning Nov. 4, the national postal service will no longer sort local mail in Kamloops, opting instead to ship the letters to a plant in the Lower Mainland and back again for delivery. “If you’re in Kamloops and you’re sending a letter to your grandmother on the North Shore, it’s now going to be shipped to Vancouver,

where they can wait to get around to sorting it,” said Bob Mitchell, president of the Kamloops local of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. “The delivery time will go from one day to three to four days.” Mitchell said local postal workers learned last week about the move to ship sorting duties to Vancouver. “This is happening in locations across the country,” he said. “Kelowna was also identified and, recently, I was told Merritt sortation will go to Vancouver as well.” According to Mitchell, sortation work at the Dalhousie Drive location in Kamloops employs about 10 casual workers and five full-time employees.

While none of the unionized staff are in danger of losing their jobs, he said about 20 local positions haven’t been filled in recent years in anticipation of cuts to the Kamloops Canada Post facilities. Canada Post spokesman John Caines said Mitchell is wrong about the job losses. “This change and attrition are two very separate things,” he said. “People are using us differently and we have to react to that. We’re doing it by managing our people and resources better.” Caines also took issue with Mitchell’s prediction about local delivery times. “Our standard is two days local, three days provincial and

CITY COUNCIL SENDING LETTER TO CANADA POST Kamloops city council is firing a letter off to Ottawa and Canada Post regarding plans to stop sorting mail in Kamloops. Starting Nov. 4, Canada Post will cease sorting local mail at its Dalhousie Drive facility. Instead, it will be shipped to Vancouver, sorted and shipped back. It’s a change that has Mayor Peter Milobar concerned. “Obviously it’s jobs, but also you have that potential of local mail and regional mail needing to be shipped to Vancouver and sorted,” he said, noting he is concerned the change will lead to delays for local businesses and bill payers. He plans to write to the federal government, as well as Canada Post, “seeking clarification” on the decision and whether it can be reversed. “It can’t hurt to ask,” he said. four days national,” he said, noting Victoria’s local mail is already sorted in Vancouver. “Nothing’s changing. This is an internal

change for us. There will be no changes to delivery.” But, according to Mitchell, people will notice when Canada

Post is put to the test in the weeks leading up to Christmas. “Honestly, I believe this Christmas is going to be a nightmare if

Canada Post follows through with this move,” he said. “They can barely keep up now.” Local postal workers wore black armbands on Tuesday, Oct. 16, to protest the sorting move. Mitchell said he hopes the show of solidarity will get the word out to customers. “What we’re trying to focus on is informing the public of these service reductions,” he said. “Canada Post’s reason for being is to provide a service. “Unfortunately, they’ve focused on profit over service.”

Charge likely following stabbing A 28-year-old Kamloops man will likely face a charge of aggravated assault following an early-morning stabbing this week at a Sahali apartment. A 25-year-old Pritchard man was knifed in the neck at about 12:30 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 15. Police believe the attack occurred in an apartment on Whiteshield Crescent. The man was later dropped off at Royal Inland Hospital by an acquaintance. The man who drove the victim to hospital was later arrested and released. That man’s roommate was arrested the following day and is expected to be formally charged with aggravated assault. Both the accused and the man who drove the victim to hospital live in the Whiteshield Crescent apartment and both are known to police.

Drugs found on driver in crash tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Police believe drugs may have played a role in a violent four-car collision on a downtown Kamloops street this week that sent three people to hospital. RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said police found two baggies of drugs in the possession of the driver of the vehicle believed to have caused the head-on crash. “There may be some link to drug use and we have to look at that,” he said. The 29-year-old man, who was behind the wheel of an oldermodel Chevrolet Blazer SUV, was being checked out by doctors at

Kamloops Mounties handed out seven tickets for texting while driving during the first of many distracted-driving enforcement blitzes this month. On Monday, Oct. 15, police were First Avenue and Columbia Street looking for drivers talking and texting while driving. In addition to the seven tickets for distracted driving, Mounties handed out nine tickets for seatbelt violations and two tickets for failing to stop at a red light. RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the enforcement will continue for about a month — and noted there are no excuses. “We’ve done everything we can to warn people,” he said. “It’s no secret.”

Royal Inland Hospital following the collision when the drugs were located, Learned said. He was receiving treatment for head injuries that turned out to be minor. According to Learned, one of the baggies contained crack cocaine, while the other was filled with gel-cap tablets. Police are now seeking a warrant to obtain a sample of the man’s blood for testing. The crash, on West Victoria Street just east of Overlanders Bridge, took place at about 1 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 15. Investigators believe a westbound vehicle crossed the centre line and collided with oncoming traffic. Learned said it could potentially be months before there is any word on potential charges.

NYONE REMEMBER David Wright, a 17-yearold Ottawa teen? How about Hamed Nastoh of Surrey? Jamie Hubley, an Ottawa teen? Marjorie Raymond of the Gaspé? Akash Wadhwa of Mission? Let’s try Daron Richardson of Ottawa and Mitchell Wilson of Pickering, Ont. Ashkan Sultani, who used to live on Vancouver Island? Maybe Brendan Deleary, an Ontario teen? Every one of them killed themselves in the past decade. Every one of them was a Canadian teen who was bullied. Add to that list Amanda Todd — and you can be assured the list will continue. Absolutely nothing we as adults do will ever rid the world of the evil that is bullying, nor will we find the cure to save those fragile souls that finally break from it. A report released in April by researchers at the Public Health Agency of Canada said youth-suicide rates in our country have been declining since 1980. However, if you look at the actual numbers, while the overall trend is downward, the decline has happened just for the guys. The suicide rate for girls has continued to rise. The report speaks for itself: “In 1980, a total of 249 males and 50 females between ages 10 to 19 committed suicide in Canada, according to the study.

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL “By 2008, that number had fallen to 156 for males, but rose to 77 for females.” Every time the media reports on a teen suicide, the inevitable reaction from the public follows the same agenda. We all condemn it. We all demand government do something to stop it. Someone in government — usually on the opposition side — condemns the governing side for failing our teens. Teachers and school administrators say we must all work together to end bullying. Memorials pop up with tender remembrances of the dead teen. And, then, something else comes along to take over the news agenda. We all go back to our homes, safe in the smug belief our family will never have to endure what the grieving parents, siblings, relatives and friends will now live with every single day. And, we forget. We forget Jamie and Marjorie and Ashkan and all the others we cried for just weeks or months before. Maybe that’s one way we can actually start to do something to have

some sort of impact on bullying and suicide. Maybe if we as parents and caregivers realize the teen years are tough, that maybe we pamper our kids too much and create self-indulgent, entitled children who have lost that spark of true humanity in them — perhaps that might help. Children aren’t born hateful. They learn it. Maybe they learn it at home or from their peers but, ultimately, somehow, they decide they have the right to judge others. We can criminalize bullying, we can create anti-bullying programs and we can tell our teenagers it will get better, but the simple fact is for some, it never will. For some, the bullying will continue — on both sides of the conflict. So, here’s a suggestion. Let’s not just rise up and rail against bullying and teen suicide after the next headline — and then move on with our lives. Let’s not politicize it or do more studies into it. Let’s talk about it with our kids — really talk about it. Talk and talk and talk. Then listen. Really listen. Don’t just ask if they’ve ever been bullied and then smile when they tell us no. Talk to them about it, even if they say it’s not an issue for them. Teach them — really teach them — not to judge others because someone might also judge them. And, let’s not forget all those youngsters we’ve lost. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com

They seem, in some respects, icons of a bygone era, onceubiquitous essentials of life now being elbowed aside by technology. Canada Post and Greyhound are looking at more changes to services that has city council and others concerned about the impact those changes may have on Kamloops. Canada Post’s union is sounding the alarm on the corporation’s plan to move all local mail sorting to Vancouver from the Dalhousie Drive office in Sahali. The union is warning of mail delays, especially during the busy Christmas season. Canada Post says not to worry, that most mail sorting is already done in Vancouver and that delivery times will remain unaffected. Those who still use Canada Post will find out who is right within a few short weeks. Meanwhile, the union is concerned the Kamloops sorting building may be closed and jobs may be lost. Greyhound says it is losing millions in B.C. and is looking at reductions in the number of bus trips in and out of Kamloops and smaller towns in the region. These possible cuts follow the company’s decision, as of Oct. 14, to move the Kamloops dispatch centre to Ontario, eliminating 11 local jobs in the process. In this day and age of texts, emails, cheaper vehicles and increased regional air service, it is interesting to note two alleged relics from the past — the mail and bus service — still have a profound impact on society, as is evident in the concern their plans have elicited locally. Sometimes, you don’t know what you might miss until the threat arises that it will be gone.

ARE YOU A FRIEND OF SEINFELD? Customers at Blenz Coffee in downtown Kamloops have a chance to add their opinion on the day’s question: Which was the better television series— Friends or Seinfeld? — when tossing tips to their barista. Both popular sitcoms are centred around coffee shops. As of midday Tuesday (Oct. 16) the decision was about even. Dave Eagles/KTW

Media needs to be very careful Editor: Just as frightening as the apparent bullying epidemic itself is the deafening silence, and thus implicit condoning, by some media to cover and condemn the extremely irresponsible, thorough cyber-outing of a man by totally unaccountable Anonymous, the latter which claims the man was/is the lead cyber-stalker who bullied teen Amanda Todd to death. The man was liter-

ally fully identified — including name, address and phone number — all except for any possible identifying birth marks. Although the man, of course, denies Anonymous’s claims against him, for the sake of justice and not just hot-headed and possibly erroneous vigilantism, I truly hope Anonymous is completely accurate with its cyber research. Already a different man, coincidently with the same name as the

outed guy, has been cleared of any confusion regarding his unfortunate name match. At the very least, Anonymous should perform the ethical and moral act of making transparent how they can accurately declare some guy, whom they’ve 100 per cent identified online, guilty — especially of such a politically and socially sensitive crime. Frank G. Sterle, Jr. Kamloops

Editor: Mines are required to post a bond regarding the cleanup of the site once all the valuable ore has been removed. The bond is posted by a bonding company and a fee is paid by the mine owners out of the profits of the mine. In most cases, the fee is paid on monthly or quarterly bases. This is how it works: Once the ore has been removed, the mine owners close the mine and dissolve the mine’s corporate identity. This means there is no long anyone to pay the fee to the bonding agent. This means there is no longer anyone responsible for the mine-site cleanup. It must be remembered that both the mining entity and the bonding agency knew this would be the way it worked and that, under this procedure, neither would be required to pay the cleanup costs. Therefore, the bonding fees would be a way to shut the public up. In addition, it would collect much less money than required for the job. When the mine has been emptied of valuable ore and the miners move on, the province’s revenue drops due to the decrease in the province’s share of income tax on miner’s

wages and the loss of spin-off money that occurs in the city. The provincial finance minister would then be put into a situation that would require him to state something to the effect of, “Well, we can’t spend money we don’t have.” Bingo! We are now left with a couple of big holes in the ground, toxic ponds and creeks here and there and a serious dust problem all over the place. This has happened in Montana in a number of places. It would be much better if the province were to take over the role of bonding agent and have the fee put into a separate account, not the be touched by grubby politicians or bureaucrats or used for any other purpose until such time as the mine peters out. This way, the amount collected could realistically cover the actual cost of the cleanup. This money has to be separate from all different taxes and fees the province collects. This would solve one aspect of our concerns about the proposed Ajax mine. It would also take a large tax burden off of our children — if we choose to clean up the mess. Sydney Davies Kamloops

Braidwood praises Taser reforms in B.C. By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Retired judge Thomas Braidwood is “very pleased with the response” to his recommendations on the use of Taser stun guns by police in the wake of Robert Dziekanski’s death in 2007. Dziekanski, 40, was emigrating to Canada from Poland. He was planning on living with his mom, Zofia Cisowski, in Kamloops. Braidwood testified this week before a legislature committee after a senior RCMP official reported on training and procedure changes that led to an 87 per cent reduction in use of Tasers to subdue people. Braidwood emphasized that he stands by the core finding of his inquiry, which is that police in B.C. should continue to use Tasers with new training and strict new rules. Those provincewide rules include requiring police to determine the subject is causing bodily harm or is about to, and mandating “de-escalation” or crisis-intervention techniques be taught and used

before a Taser is deployed. Braidwood described a basic technique that could have been used when four Richmond RCMP officers approached a distraught Dziekanski at Vancouver International Airport. If one of those officers had simply pulled up a chair and sat down, Braidwood said, Dziekanski would likely be alive today. Similar techniques can defuse even violent domestic disputes, rightly considered by police to be their most dangerous calls, said Braidwood, a former prosecutor who went on to serve as a B.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeal justice. The Taser rules also require police to have an automated defibrillator in the car or in a supervisor’s vehicle in communities of 5,000 people or fewer. Independent testing of stun guns is also required and the rules also apply to all municipal police in B.C. RCMP Assistant Commissioner Randy Beck told the committee that new training began in 2011. By then, the fallout from the Dziekanski case had led to a

Driving diabetes message home Penticton, is an advisor to an Interior Health Authority (IHA) 18-month project aimed at improving the system of care for adults with Type 2 diabetes. It’s part of a three-year plan the IHA has developed and involves patients, the medical system, pharmacists and other caregivers in Kamloops, Kelowna, Williams Lake and Lillooett. Overseen by Colleen Kennedy as director and with Dr. Maureen Clement handling the medical side, the project is looking at how the system can work better to meet the needs of, and fill the gaps experienced by, people with diabetes. That’s a large community in the IHA area, with an estimated 53,000 people being treated for the disease, 8,000 of them in Kamloops. That number doesn’t include adults who have the disease,

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

For Lynn Kelsey, there is an obvious way for the medical profession to understand how to work with people who have diabetes. Think of the patient as the driver of a bus. Sometimes, the bus might have an L on it and the driver needs a co-pilot to help them along — but, they’re still the one doing the driving. They decide who comes along and who doesn’t. They know where they’re going — and the medical team working with them needs to do its part on the trip alongside the driver. “I’m in control,” Kelsey said. “I do need support, but I’m in control.” Kelsey, who lives in

but have not been diagnosed, Kennedy said at a press conference on Wednesday, Oct. 17, during a two-day regional meeting of collaborative participants at Thompson Rivers University. Clement said a cornerstone of the approach the collaborative is promoting is to have people with diabetes manage their own care, with support from those who provide that care. Kelsey said a hospital stay she had demonstrated how the health-care system needs to adjust to allow this to happen. Her insulin and glucose monitors were taken from her during the stay and the nurses took on those functions. “They were doing to me. They were doing for me,” Kelsey said. “But they didn’t consider me. Nothing about me without me. That’s my view.”

Type 2 diabetes: The basics of the disease Your body gets energy by making glucose from foods like bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, milk and fruit. To use this glucose, your body needs insulin, which is a hormone that helps your body control the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood. Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which your pancreas does not produce enough insulin or your body does not properly use the insulin it makes. If you have type 2 diabetes, glucose builds up in your blood instead of being used for energy. You can live a long and healthy life by keeping your blood glucose levels (the amount of

sugar in your blood) in the target range set by your doctor.

Family allowed to keep third dog Cavers’ carriage request approved

CITY HALL

Dispatchers worked ﬁnal shifts on weekend X From A1

While council voted unanimously to send a letter of displeasure to Greyhound Canada, councillors Tina Lange and Arjun Singh were not entirely comfortable telling a private business how to operate. “If they are running empty buses or buses that are not full to a decent capacity, what will happen is the cost of a bus ticket will increase,” Lange said, noting it could make it more difficult for lowincome people to access the bus service. Singh wanted council’s letter to include some positive ideas for the bus line. “I really do think they have an economic problem right now that needs to be solved,” he said. However, Milobar said it wasn’t council’s job to fix Greyhound’s business model, but to “make a very clear point that we’re not happy not just for Kamloops, but for people in outlying communities coming into Kamloops.” On Sunday, Oct. 14, 11 workers in the Greyhound dispatch office in Kamloops worked their final shifts as the company has moved its fleet-dispatch operation to its Burlington, Ont., location. Maureen Richmond, director of media relations for the bus company, said combining the two dispatch offices is a business move to ensure efficiencies. She explained the staff involved are the people tasked with keeping track of the buses and ensuring they leave and arrive at designated times. The change will not impact the ticket operations at the depot on Laval Crescent.

from a council member this year. Coun. Marg Spina’s application met with approval in September. The decision passed unanimously, but with a lower than average number of votes. Cavers, Spina and Coun. Tina Lange, who owns a number of rental suites, all recused themselves for the vote, and Coun. Ken Christian was absent.

Hormonal Breakouts?

Not Just a Teenage Problem! So much easier being a girl… Like most people, I too, struggle with acne…One problem I have particularly struggled with has been my jaw line and back… That’s when EstroSense entered my life and changed it for the better…After the ﬁrst 3 months, my back and jaw breakouts have diminished signiﬁcantly. On top of it, virtually all my PMS symptoms have almost disappeared…it’s so much easier being a girl now. Beauty Blogger Ellie S.

Hormonal breakouts affect many teenagers today. But teenagers are not the only ones; acne can strike adults too - more than half of all adult women and about a quarter of adult men. Many women will typically see breakouts during their menstrual cycle due to hormonal ﬂuctuations. Estrogen dominance due to hormone replacement therapy, the birth control pill, xenoestrogens from the environment (BPA, phthalates, parabens) or a sluggish liver can also contribute to hormonal breakouts.

EstroSense is a unique natural formula that helps maintain healthy hormone balance by supporting the liver and in turn, healthy skin.

What many prospective borrowers don’t realize is that the pricing of mortgages and other loans is based in part on their credit-worthiness, and a person’s credit score is the established measure for credit-worthiness. People with a lower credit score can find themselves paying a higher interest rate, or denied access to certain types of loans. The good news is that by taking a few basic precautions, prospective borrowers can protect their credit report and credit score, and increase their access to better rates and a better choice of mortgage products. Do you understand the difference between your credit report and your credit score? A credit report is a detailed history of how consistently you meet your financial obligations and provides a picture of your financial health based on your past behaviour. A credit score is an objective summary that translates personal information from your credit report and other sources into a three-digit number representing your overall credit-worthiness. Both your credit report and score are important. When deciding whether or not to grant a mortgage loan, lenders refer to an applicant’s credit report and score, along with a range of other factors such as income, employment history, and down payment size. Generally, a credit score uses your past credit history to help predict how you might manage your credit in the future. The credit score used most often by Canadian lenders is the FICO score (developed by the Fair Isaac Co.), which is a number between 0 and 900. The higher your score, the more likely you are to be approved for a mortgage and receive favourable rates because the lender considers you to be a better credit risk.

Psychic Fair

Several factors are used by the two credit agencies in Canada (Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada) to calculate credit scores: • • • • • •

Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2012

Debt payment history. Amounts owed compared to your current credit limits with lenders. How often you seek new credit. Length of time you have had credit accounts. Type of credit, such as car loans, lines of credit, credit cards, ﬁnance company loans. Recent new credit or cancelled cards

Fortunately, there are a number of steps that consumers can take to keep their credit report and credit score healthy: Pay your debts on time – always meet due dates. Do not ignore unpaid bills. Borrow only the amount you can afford to repay. Numerous inquiries for your credit report can sometimes worsen your score. If someone is seeking a new credit card, furniture and department store loans then their credit score will be adversely affected. However, multiple inquiries within a 30 day period for car or mortgage loans are ignored. Reviewing your own credit ﬁle regularly to stay informed about the details on your ﬁle.

A $15 DINNER ENTREE

They see a problem and they want to paint it black . . . By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

They’re not sure why it works, but Kamloops’ Graffiti Task Force has come up with a new strategy that seems to be discouraging taggers — paint it black. Ronnie Bouvier, executive director of the task face, told city council that changing the colour of electrical boxes in McArthur Island Park from green to black has dramatically reduced the graffiti problem in the area. “I can’t answer a reason to why they won’t tag on the black, but it’s amazing,” she said during a report this week on the non-profit society’s activities for the year. “At beginning of year, Mac Island was our worst park. At the end of the year, Mac Island is our best park.” The task force has had similar luck with a couple other problem spots.

Painting the light-coloured doors of Brock Arena a dark shade of blue and painting park benches brown has also reduced tagging. But, that has still left plenty of graffiti for the task force to clean up. By the end of September, task force staff had removed more than 150,000 square feet of graffiti, compared to the 100,000 square feet they dealt with in all of 2011. Of that, the majority of the vandalism took place in city parks, which accounted for 94,000 square feet of this year’s total. Another 41,000 square feet of graffiti was removed from other city property. Tagging on private property accounted for less than 9,000 square feet. “Of all of this tagging, 97 [per cent] is vulgarity, profanity,” she said, referring to dirty words, racial slurs and threats.

“We really haven’t seen any art.” Bouvier said the jump in numbers has less to do with tagger activity than from a staffing increase. This year, the task force has two crews working instead of one, made up of members from the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack baseball team. With more bodies, the task force has been able to clean up new areas of the city, in some cases covering up tags that were four years old. The group is also looking at prevention strategies, including anti-graffiti coatings and murals. While Bouvier said some Kamloops taggers will still vandalize artwork, she thinks murals could at least reduce graffiti in major problem areas. Potential mural locations include the Salvation Army on Tranquille Road and McArthur Island Park.

Firefighters found an abandoned campfire, empty beer cans and trash near where a fire flared up in Peterson Creek Park on Sunday, Oct. 14. Nigel Hanks photo

Campﬁre may have sparked park blaze tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

It appears as though an abandoned campfire sparked a five-hectare blaze that scorched the slopes of a downtown Kamloops park on the weekend. Kamloops Fire Rescue Lieut. Dan Funk said that’s what two days of investigation have shown following the fire on Sunday, Oct. 14. “We did find an abandoned campfire up there,” he said. “It was basically a place people were hanging out for a long time.” Investigators also found other items — including beer cans and trash — in the area. Funk said it’s unclear if people had been camped out in the park or if it was a party spot. Emergency crews were called to

the fire at about 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. More than 30 firefighters were battling the blaze before it was contained at about 7 p.m. Peterson Creek is no stranger to fire activity. In May, two grassfires in the park within a week were believed to have been intentionally set. In 2009, serial arsonist David Glenn Hurst was arrested after a string of suspicious fires in the park. Mounties caught the 52-year-old after an elaborate old-school police stakeout caught him setting a tree on fire. “Peterson Creek has been known to have some problems in the past,” Funk said. Fires in parks are prohibited yearround. Funk said the investigation is now in the follow-up stage, as photos and witness information is reviewed.

The other man’s grass — is a farm

Workshop promotes growing in yards of willing non-farmers By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Spread out over eight front and back lawns in Kelowna, Curtis Stone’s farm doesn’t fit the typical, rural image. But, in three years, the young farmer has turned his three-quarter-acre land base into a successful commercial operation — and he thinks would-be farmers in Kamloops could do the same. “It’s a perfect area for this kind of thing,” he said of Kamloops, citing its friendly growing climate and the abundance of big lawns. Stone didn’t initially set out to farm in other people’s yards. Originally, he said, his goal was to homestead. But, when the cost of land in B.C. proved prohibitively expensive, he started looking at other options. That led him to SPIN — small-plot

intensive — farming. Created by a Saskatchewan farmer frustrated by mounting transportation and pest-control costs, the SPIN method involves growing highvalue crops on small, densely planted areas of land. “These guys are making over $50,000 on half an acre of land in the city and I was instantly intrigued,” Stone said. “This is a good alternative for young people like myself and others.” At Stone’s Green City Acres, those include pea shoots, salad mixes and small root vegetables like baby carrots and radishes. Most of the crops are sold to restaurants, but the farm also maintains a year-round stall at the farmers’ market and runs a small communitysupported agriculture program, where people pay a fee in exchange

for a weekly box of fresh vegetables. The homeowners whose lawns form Stone’s farm also receive produce in exchange for their space. “It’s relatively small, but it is successful,” Stone said. “We make a good living at it and I think we work a lot less hard than most farmers, when I compare the amount of hours we put in. “Our land is so small and, because we farm so intensively, our beds are so densely planted that there’s just not a lot of room for weeds.” Stone will be

in Kamloops on Saturday, Oct. 20, for a two-hour urbanagricultural workshop as part of the Reel Change SustainAbility Film Fest running through the weekend. His talk will include an introduction to SPIN methods and a look at Green Acres’ own day-to-day

operations and origin story. The talk is $15 to attend. Tickets can be purchased in advance at farminginthecity.eventbrite.ca or at the door of the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, 7 West Seymour St. It runs from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Red Bridge Bicentennial Enhancement Project

Kamloops Communities in Bloom committee has embarked on an initiative to enhance the Red Bridge and make it an iconic landmark in Kamloops in recognition of its history as a cultural and business connection between the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc and the City of Kamloops.

$1 - $75 $100 - $200 $250 $500 $750 $1000 $5000 $10,000

2012 is our bicentennial year; celebrating Two Peoples, Two Rivers, 200 Years. What a perfect time to undertake this project! The current 76 year old bridge was opened in 1936 and is the third foot and vehicle bridge over the South Thompson River. The ﬁrst was built in 1887; a second in 1912. They are all wooden trestle bridges using a Howe truss construction. The enhancement project includes three phases: 1. Beautify the bridge entrance including signage. 2. Highlight the bridge’s history with prominent information kiosks at the Lorne St,. Entrance, in Pioneer Park and possibly on Mount Paul Way. 3. Light the bridge with solar ﬂood lighting. The enhanced bridge will improve the night panorama of the city both from the ground and the sky and become a “must see” place for locals and visitors alike.

Our goal is to raise $250,000 for the total project. We invite you to be a part of this historic venture. 1 Bloom Partner - Name displayed on permanent information kiosk.

Mazdaâ€™s 1st time Buyers Program NEVER HAD A CAR LOAN? NO CO-SIGNER?

Rent bank seeks donations

NO PROBLEM!

Program would help people facing dire housing situations with low-interest loans As B.C.â€™s third rent bank opened its doors in Vancouver this month, Kamloopsâ€™ Homelessness Action Plan (KHAP) announced a similar program is in the works here. The Kamloops rent bank would offer small, low-interest loans to people people facing eviction or loss of utility services who donâ€™t have other assistance programs to turn to â€” income assistance or bank loans, for example. â€œThe general gist is that people who have been in stable housing for about two years. â€œSo, people who havenâ€™t been moving around, really the working poor, they would be eligible,â€? said KHAP co-ordinator Tangie Genshorek. While the exact framework for the Kamloops bank is still in the works, Genshorek said applicants would need to provide proof that they could make loan repayments, which might be around $40 a month over two years on a loan of $1,000. â€œItâ€™s for kind of a specific group of people, really the working poor.â€? Those who donâ€™t qualify for the loan will be directed to other assistance programs and given help with applications. The loan could go

years from the city for administration costs â€” Genshorek said sheâ€™d like to see the province eventually fund the programs as the government of Ontario does. She said a B.C.wide program could go a long way toward ending homelessness in the province â€” and with less overall cost. â€œIf we go farther down the cycle to where people have spent a lot of time on the street, it takes a lot more dollars to

to pay a month, possibly two, of rent, or to utility payments, and would be paid directly to the landlord or service provider. Genshorek said the rent bank aims to help a segment of Kamloopsians who otherwise wouldnâ€™t be able to get financial aid without putting themselves further at risk for homelessness. â€œOftentimes if you own a car or you have a small amount of assets, income assistance will deny you,â€? she said. â€œSo, people end up trying to sell their car because they donâ€™t have a job and then theyâ€™re dependent on income assistance because they now donâ€™t have a car to go to work. Weâ€™re really trying to stop that from happening.â€? The program has secured about $15,000 in funding so far from the Thompson Nicola Cariboo United Way, the Interior Savings Centre Community Investment Fund and the Kelson Group, but is still seeking more funders. Genshorek said KHAP is talking with the city and other organizations about granting possibilities, and the program will also require money for a staff person. While B.C. rent banks are mostly privately funded â€” with the exception of Vancouverâ€™s, which will receive $149,000 over three

“I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started carrying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has come back and thanked us over and over again” said Ian.

Only 35,000 kms! 10 Toyota Venza AWD

Before trying LeafSource, the woman had complained about her ongoing joint pain and was at her wit’s end. Although she had experienced some relief through the

numerous natural remedies she had tried over the years, the pain would never fully go away. “She returned to my store, in tears, less than one week after buying LeafSource. I didn’t know what to make of this woman standing in front of me crying, until she told me that within a few days of taking LeafSource her pain started to disappear and within a week it was completely gone - as if it was never there.” Ian goes on, “This coming from a woman whose painful joints and ongoing sciatica were so bad just one week earlier, that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.”

Why is it so eﬀective? LeafSource is a 100% natural product derived from a proprietary organic mineral composite with over ten years of university research. LeafSource helps regulate the inﬂammatory process and the body’s ability to repair itself. The vast majority (70-80%) of the population over the age of 50 have joint problems—often called osteoarthritis. This is due to the natural (or unnatural) wear and tear on joint tissue that develops through

Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and inflammation problems by resorting to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects. These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure. Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!? LeafSource is a safe alternative to these destructive antiinflammatory drugs that cause many more problems than they solve. It is safe to take up to six per day with absolutely no side-effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experiments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent anti-inflammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction of inflammation and pain within a few days. People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/day. Typical maintenance is usually 1 capsule twice daily. LeafSource is endorsed by

LeafSource is scientifically validated through more than 10 years of research at 4 universities, including the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mercer University. But it’s what LeafSource users are saying that truly demonstrates the products effectiveness:

This product get results!

I have had cronic pain for over 15 years and have been going to a chiropractor monthly for pain therapy. I started using LeafSource two months ago and I am amazed at the results. I no longer have tendinitis, carple tunnel or irritable bowel. My arthritis is manageable, all my joints are limber and I’m able to exercise again.

Parking changes in the downtown core are the focus of an open house on Wednesday, Oct. 24, at Caffe Motivo’s Victoria Street location. The Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association is planning a presentation and discussion session on a number of ideas it pitched to city council earlier this summer, said KCBIA executive director Gay Pooler. Proposed changes include new credit-card friendly pay hubs, a move to $1 an hour street parking and 30-minute express parking stalls on Victoria Street. There are also a number of longer-term plans aimed at adding new spaces to the downtown stock. City council has so far supported the KCBIA’s suggestions and is due to discuss them further this fall. “We’ve been to council, they’ve done a workshop and we just want to get the information out there about where things are at and just talk about some of the things that have come out of the discussion,” Pooler said. Though suggestions came from the KCBIA’s own parking solutions group, KTW reported in September that a number of downtown business owners and staff weren’t aware the city was considering any change to downtown parking. Pooler said the KCBIA is now working to get more information about the plans out to businesses. A summary of the association’s proposal is on its website (kcbia.com) and members of the parking group are speaking one-on-one with business owners to get them up to speed. “The information is getting out there. But, communication is always a challenge when you’re trying to communicate with 800 businesses,” Pooler said. The open house will run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., with a formal presentation at 6 p.m. It’s open to everyone, not only business owners.

The leaves are falling — and the eaves are filling. The furnace may need an upgrade. Maybe you’re thinking about replacing those leaky windows before really cold weather arrives. Even if you are just curious about what’s new in home renovations, Interior Savings Centre is the place to be this weekend as the annual fall edition of the Kamloops Home and Leisure Show returns on Friday, Oct. 19, and vacates the downtown premises on Sunday, April 21. “We are the Tournament Capital of Canada, but we are also the Home Show Capital of Canada,” said organizer Jim Rice, who created BC HomeShows in 1998. This weekend’s hours are Friday (5 p.m. to 9 p.m.), Saturday (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and Sunday (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). As always, admission is free. This weekend’s event features more than 180 exhibitors set to show their wares to the thousands who will visit, perhaps with their to-do lists in hand. “It’s still the best place to come for ideas on building plans, renovation, landscaping, leisure — just about anything that has to do

with your home,” Rice said. “There will be lots of new products and services. Consumers have a great opportunity of selection.” Exhibitors from throughout B.C. and from across Western Canada will take part in the Interior’s largest home show. A word of advice for those wishing to attend. Since the home show is extremely popular and can be busy, Rice said the best time to attend is right when the doors open. “You miss the rush and you get good parking,” he said, noting parking has been reduced on Lorne Street due to the removal on some on-street parking to accommodate the new Sandman Hotel going up at the corner of Lorne Street and Third Avenue. BC HomeShows Ltd. has been staging home shows for 14 years and serves the communities of Kamloops, Kelowna, Merritt, Penticton, Salmon Arm and Vernon.

Spray-foam insulation helps reduce drafts and warms up everyone With the days getting progressively colder and the heater working to keep your family warm, it makes sense to ensure your home does not have any drafts that can allow the heat to escape. Air leaks within a home not only make rooms feel uncomfort-

able, but also allow warm, heated air from inside to escape quickly, which can drive heating bills upward. In poorly lit or belowgrade areas, any cold drafts and dampness can also be a concern. Using energy-efficient insulation can help

address air leaks, as well as help improve comfort. For instance, sprayfoam insulation creates a continuous air barrier by expanding within seconds to fill in every gap, crack or crevice to mitigate any heat and energy being lost. Spray-foam insula-

tion seals the building envelope and provides a cost-saving option to help reduce monthly heating bills. Over the long-term, the savings can quickly add up and drafts become a thing of the past. Smart homeowners

who address air leaks will not only reduce energy waste, but they can expect to spend less on

heating ventilation. Spray-foam insulation is a modern, eco-friendly solution giving hom-

eowners the opportunity to eliminate household drafts with confidence. newscanada.com

Milk Container Recycling Reaching Jumbo Proportions Environment

Return-It Depots leading the way in province-wide milk container recycling program A voluntary recycling program initiated by the BC Dairy Council in 2006 where consumers could drop off empty milk containers, at no charge, is proving to be a huge success. Services are provided by Ewncorp Pacific, which manages the 166 Return-It Depots throughout the province that recycle milk containers into viable products, thus keeping them out of our landfills.

“The total number of milk containers recycled in the first six months of 2012 is nearly double the weight collected in all of 2007!” says Mike Dick, president of the BC Dairy Council.

In the first six months of 2012, BC residents returned over 8 million milk cartons and jugs to Encorp depots around the province - weighing in at an astounding 340,000 kilograms. That’s more than the weight of a double decker Airbus A380 “super jumbo”. Talk about heavy lifting!

Recycling plastic uses 1/3 less energy than manufacturing new plastic

Increased participating depots plus increased volume-per-depot leads to impressive growth

whether they are plastic, cartons or jugs – are recyclable and accepted at participating Return-It Depots. Although plastic jugs are the most popular form of packaging for milk in BC, polycoat milk cartons (paper and plastic) are also used. Because this type of carton, commonly referred to as a “gabletop”, is not usually accepted New products from old in curbside blue-box programs, milk containers carton recycling is available through Milk cartons are made mostly of high participating Return-It Depots across quality paper fibre which is pulped, the province. cleaned and then made into new Bring milk containers to products like toilet tissue.

Part of this increase is due to the greater number of depots which now accept milk containers - now 166 compared with only 117 just five years ago. But it isn’t just the number of depots, BC residents are returning more containers to each depot in the system which helps explain the impressive growth.

Given the average household in BC goes through 6 ½ milk containers per month, the growing network of participating ReturnIt Depots has made it easier for BC residents have taken to British Columbians to do the right recycling milk containers through thing and recycle responsibly, the depot network in a big way. and the good habit is catching on.

All milk containers recycled through Return-It Depots get put to good use. Plastic jugs are cleaned, pelletized and used to make dozens of practical items, including new bottles, plastic buckets and pails. The high-quality paper fibre in milk cartons is turned into pulp and used to make household tissue products, cardboard boxes and writing papers. Thousands of tonnes of paper pulp are recovered from recycling milk cartons and for every tonne of paper pulp recycled, approximately 17 trees are saved.

ADVERTORIAL

Across BC, people are recycling more empty milk containers than ever before. Over 8 million jugs and cartons were spared from BC landfills in the first six months of 2012, weighing an incredible 340,000 kilograms – a trend that, if it continues, will mean a record-breaking year of milk container recycling in BC! containers. Simply give them a quick rinse to remove any residue and then flatten them for easier storage. Don’t forget to take off the lids and bring them into the depot as well - they can be recycled too. You didn’t pay a deposit on the milk containers so you won’t get a refund but you do get the satisfaction of knowing your milk containers will be recycled into new products and won’t occupy space in the landfill.

Three factors can set child up to be bullied

N THE AFTERMATH OF 15-YEAR-OLD AMANDA TODD’S SUICIDE, THE ISSUE OF BULLYING HAS RESURFACED WITH A VENGEANCE. Bullying is a complex issue and there are no simple solutions to solving it. There are strategies that can be put in place at schools and in other places children and youth congregate, but the most devastating and inescapable bullying — and the type of bullying that ultimately led to Amanda’s suicide — is done anonymously and at a distance through cyberbullying. When a tragic death occurs, it is natural to look for someone to blame and for an agency or group to step up and “do something” about it. Why aren’t schools doing more? Where is the government in all of this? Why don’t Internet providers report abuses when people use their

computer to hurt others? The answer to all three questions simply remains: It sounds good in theory, but it is not at all easy. There are a number of elements to bullying but, today, we are going to reduce it down to just one: Why are some kids the victims of bullying and others not? Researchers have identified three factors that can be observed in a child’s behaviour that help to set him or her up for bullying. • Some kids have little ability to pick up on and respond to nonverbal cues from their peers. • Rejection from peers causes children mental-health issues, social isolation and dramatically increases the risk of poor grades and later substance-

When this happens, they increase the likelihood of social rejection. When children have difficulty socializing, it can set up a vicious circle of issues: Shunned children have few opportunities to practise social skills, while popular kids are busy perfecting theirs. A five-step process can help children learn social skills after a social misstep: First, ask the child what happened and listen without judgment. Next, ask the child to identify their mistake as, many times, children only know someone got upset, but don’t understand their own role in the situation. Third, help the child identify the cue they missed or mistake they made by asking something like: “How would

abuse issues. • The social skills kids learn during unstructured play time or when not being directly supervised and watched by adults are carried throughout their life. When not being watched, children experiment with relationship styles and are not often even aware of the mistakes they make that cause social rejection. Kids who have social problems also have problems in reading non-verbal cues, understanding social meaning and coming up with options for resolving a social conflict. Some children may not notice facial expressions or signs of impatience or have trouble separating their own needs from those of a peer.

you feel if you were that person?” Next, you can create an imaginary but similar scenario where the child can make the right choice. Finally, give the child social homework by asking him to practise a new skill and tell you how it went the next day. The recipe for creating a target for bullies involves low

self-esteem, lack of confidence, anxiety, humiliation and a feeling of isolation. Parents can look at how they interact with their children and ask if they are creating some or all of these dynamics in their own home. Parents and other adults also need to help children take responsibility — not blame — for negative things that

happen to them. When something goes wrong, learn from it and do something differently next time, rather than react like a victim. If you have a question about bullying or have a story you want to tell us, write to us at kamloops@cmha.bc.ca because we love to hear from you.

Diptendra Mitra

RICK BEN BEENEN

December 14, 1926 - October 13, 2012

April 20, 1955 to October 13, 2012

Being a parent is no easy job. There is no guidebook, so the best you can do is approach every day with love for your children. Dip Mitra was a father who did just that. Dip was born in Calcutta, India in 1926 and after graduating from University; he emigrated to England, attended the London School of Economics, and then eventually moved to Canada. He settled in Kamloops in 1969 with his wife and three boys and began a career as a Senior Chemical Engineer with Weyerhaeuser Kamloops Pulp Mill till his retirement in 1992. Dip was an incredibly detailed oriented and cerebral man. He was able to perform staggering calculations with a slide rule and was incredibly talented at his job with numerous published articles to his name. On the ﬂip side, his favorite movie was Harry and the Henderson’s and he loved to watch wrestling. More than anything, Dad cherished his respect. While not everyone always liked the questions he may have asked, my dad worked hard to gain their respect. Ultimately, he always approached his family with true love and that is really all you can ask for. Dip passed away on October 13 and is survived by his exwife Julia, three sons Devendra, Nicholas and Christopher, his daughter-in-law Alisa and his two grandchildren Casie and Keenan (who always put a smile on his face). All of us were lucky enough to be close by in his last few days. He also leaves two brothers, Santu and Laltu, who reside in India and were recently able to reconnect with their brother after over 40 years. Dad had 86 years on this planet, but even after his passing, he is still making a huge impact on the lives of his family. No formal service is planned for dad; he was a private man. If you would like to pay your respects, take a moment to tell your family how much you love them. Thank you to Dr. Conley, Dr. Michaud, Dr. Schumacher, Lianne Berst from the Kidney Clinic and the entire staff of RIH-ER and RIH 7-North for their incredible level of care.

It is with heartfelt and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Rick Beenen. He will be greatly missed by his loving wife Denise, and his sons Curtis (Amanda), and Trevor, his grandchildren, Kiera,and twins Jayde and Siera, and his siblings, Carol (Bill), Gail, Bonnie, John, Joe (Yogi), Darlene, Ron (Susan), Larry, Lyle (Tammy), and Phil, many brothers and sisters-in-law, and mother-in-law Dora Deslaurier, and several nieces and nephews. He was pre-deceased by his parents, Linda (Beenen) Bestward and Ed Bestward, and sister Donna Bolen. Rick was a very compassionate and caring person. He always put his family and friends ﬁrst. He was a very dedicated custodian with the School Board for over 32 years. He will be dearly missed by the staff, teachers and students of Brock Middle School. He enjoyed working outside and spending as much time as possible at the cabin.

LARRY HERBERT (BUD) MCCARTHY Passed away peacefully on Oct 6, 2012 in the Peter Loughheed Hospital in Calgary, AB Bud was born in Regina to Charlie and Agnes McCarthy on October 5, 1938. He grew up in Regina and was very active in sports. In high school he played football and, as a young man, he played ball in summer and hockey In the winter. He coached the Regina Pats Junior team for a few years. During this time he also worked part-time for CPR in the customs department. He then worked for the T. Eaton Company. In 1966, he moved his family to Kamloops, where he had a variety of jobs. He then went to work at Weyerhaeuser for the next 27 years, retiring in 1999. He sat around Kamloops for a while and decided retirement was not for him, so he went to Calgary. He had a few jobs but wasn’t ready to sit around all day and do security so he decided to go to work with his son in the concrete business. He worked there until he got sick and was diagnosed with ALS. He spent the next 23 months in the hospital until his passing. Bud’s volunteer service was mostly in minor hockey. Bud was president of Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey when the Kamloops team won its ﬁrst championship. He also helped with the Kamloops International Baseball tournament in the summer, and was involved with the FACT Tournament which raised money for children’s charities.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 20, 2012 at 1:00 pm at Henry Grube Center, 245 Kitchener Crescent, North Kamloops.

Bud was predeceased by his father and mother. He leaves behind his children: Chuck McCarthy, Christine (Larry) Gunderson, Sandie (Wally) Bourassa, Tammy (Glen) Baker; grandchildren: Michael, Chantel, Kristopher, Julie, Melissa and Pete, Tara-Leigh McCarthy, Richard, Jackie, Vanessa, Cameron, Tara and Terry Bourassa; ten great-grandchildren; his two sisters, Anne (Albert) Mizzi and Pat Keam.

FRIESEN-HEINZELMAN August 14, 1948 – October 15, 2012 We are deeply saddened by the passing of Donna Beverly Friesen (nee Heinzelman) of Kamloops. Daughter to Clarence and Esther Heinzelman, both predeceased and also by her brother Max. Donna is survived by her husband Thane Sr., her sons Thane (Andree) and Jason (Dasha), her grandchildren Jacob, Deja, Mick, Dasha, Jelise and Cade. Also left to cherish her memory are her sisters Dorothy (Greg) and Brenda, her brother Brian, her niece and nephews Leif, Alison, Dane and Forrest. Early in her life mom moved to Quesnel with her family attending school. The family construction business surrounded mom with some honest hardworking tough guys. She led her life this way. At 17 not completing school she moved to Vancouver to live with an aunt and started work in a furniture factory. On November 27, 1965, married dad and started a family over the next few years. Mom worked in a plywood plant and at SuperValu. By the age of 24 with two young boys mom lost her mother and became parent to her younger siblings, holding the family together. In 1973 we moved to Kamloops. Mom became an avid hockey mom taking us to our games and practices while maintaining a household. She was a great cook and always looked after us. Years later she worked at the Kamloops News as Supervisor in the classifieds. Here she loved the great times with her co-workers and customers, enjoying many laughs with her great sense of humor and open ear to anyone. Over the years mom enjoyed many holiday occasions with family executing her great cooking skills. We spent this last Thanksgiving with her, which was her favorite holiday. It was the first time she was not able to cook. Mom’s hobbies were antique collecting, cooking and was an avid gardener. She loved and was always surrounded by animals. Her grandchildren meant everything to her and she was very proud of them. Mom always had a place in her heart to give herself to people whether it was kids in the neighborhood, seniors at Tim Horton’s or people at the dog park. Social status was irrelevant to mom. Larger than life Donna is gone but never forgotten. Our hearts are empty. Special thanks to Dr. Stoltze and the staff of Interior Health. Please in lieu of flowers donations to the Kamloops SPCA in memory of mom would be appreciated. Rest in Peace, mom! A Private burial will be Friday, October 19, 2012 at Hillside Cemetery. A party and celebration of mom’s life will be held on Saturday, October 20, 2012 from 2:00 to 5:00 pm at the Colombo Lodge (rear entrance), all friends and acquaintances of mom are welcome as well as friends of her family.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky ﬂashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life ﬂashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

Brown rink homes in on green at Crown By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

ORRYN BROWN and her rinkmates might be curling with dollar signs in their eyes at the Valley First Crown of Curling, held from Friday, Oct. 19, to Monday, Oct. 22, at the Kamloops Curling Club. “It’s our first big cashspiel,” said Brown,

the 17-year-old skip who led her rink — third Erin Pincott, second Samantha Fisher and lead Sydney Fraser, all 17 — to Canada Winter Games gold in 2011. The most coin ever won by the Brown quartet at a bonspiel is $500, which it earned after bowing out in the semifinal round of the 2011 Rick Cotter Memorial junior cashspiel. “That went into the

team bank account,” said Brown, a South Kamloops secondary Grade 12 student. There will be $75,000 in prize money on the line at the Crown — $37,500 in the 24-team women’s division and $34,500 in the 21-team men’s bracket. First place on the women’s side is good for about $8,000, most of which would likely end up in the team trust fund, if Brown were

to win. “My mom and Erin’s mom deal with all the money,” Brown said. “We don’t deal with any of that. I don’t know if they trust us.” Brown, who wants to be a chartered accountant, was not quite sure the rink is ready to handle its own finances. “If it was us, we would probably buy team shirts and team jackets,” she joked. Competition at the

Crown will again be fierce. The women’s field includes entries from six countries — Japan, Korea, Russia, Denmark and China will square off with Canadian curlers from Alberta, Manitoba, the Yukon and B.C. The men’s bracket is headlined by top-tier Canadian competition from B.C. and Alberta, along with curlers from the U.S. and Korea.

There are seven Kamloops-based rinks competing at the Crown, skipped by Mike Smith, Brent Yamada and Scott DeCap on the men’s side and Brown, along with Brandi Tinkler, Allison MacInnes and Lori Olsen on the women’s side. Andrew Bilesky, curling out of New Westminster, won the men’s title in 2011, while Michele Jaeggi

of Switzerland won the women’s championship. The first draws in the triple-knockout format tournament are scheduled for 8 a.m. on Friday and the action will run throughout the weekend, with the playoffs slated for Monday. Valley First employees will be at KCC for the duration of the tournament, collecting food and monetary donations for the Kamloops Food Bank.

WolfPack soccer men hold fate in their hands By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thereâ€™s nothing confusing about what the TRU WolfPack menâ€™s soccer team has to do this weekend at Hillside Stadium â€” win twice and they qualify for the Pacific Western Athletic Association (PWAA) playoffs. TRU (6-2-4) is hosting the Capilano University Blues (2-3-7) at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 20, and the Vancouver Island University Mariners (8-3-1) at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 21, in what is the final weekend of the regular season. â€œIf the boys concentrate on the job in front of them and not next week, we will be fine,â€? WolfPack co-head coach Sean Wallace said. â€œIf they play the way we have them performing right now on Saturday, we should be OK.â€? Only the top four

teams advance to the post-season. The WolfPack sit third in the PWAA standings, one point up on both Kwantlen Polytechnic of Surrey and Langara College of Vancouver, both of which also have two games remaining, including one against each other. â€œWe believe the key to success is playing as a team and working for one another on the field for the common goal,â€? Wallace said. â€œWe are on a bit of a roll right now and the boys are playing with confidence, which is always good at this time of year.â€? â€” with files from TRU

Pack go for kill The WolfPackâ€™s soccer women are in a less stressful spot than TRUâ€™s men, with a playoff spot already secured, but there is still plenty on the line for them this weekend at Hillside. A pair of wins â€”

against Capilano on Saturday, a 1 p.m. start, and VIU on Sunday, a noon kickoff â€” would give them the No. 1 seed heading into the PWAA playoffs. The match will double as a farewell to Hillside for fifth-year players Blair MacKay of Kamloops, along with sisters Abbey and Chloe McAuley of Langley. The PWAA playoffs will run on Friday, Oct. 26, and Saturday, Oct. 27, in Squamish. A first-place finish would secure a spot in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association championships, held in November on Prince Edward Island.

Badminton is back The TRU WolfPack

badminton team is hosting a PWAA tournament on Friday, Oct. 19, and Saturday, Oct. 20, inside the TRU gymnasium. The action gets underway at noon on Friday and at 9 a.m. on Saturday. Former Pack head coach Brad Pape retired after last season, making way for Alex Perkin, a former TRU player, and his father, Ross, to take over. â€œThe team is working hard at improving and getting to the level of play expected of university badminton,â€? Alex said. â€œWe are hoping for results from some of our key players on the weekend.â€?

Who are these guys? Unfamiliar opponents will arrive at the Tournament Capital Centre this weekend to play exhibition games against the TRU WolfPackâ€™s menâ€™s basketball team. TRU is hosting the

York Yeomen of Ontario University Athletics at 8 p.m. on Friday and the Montana State Northern Skylights of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics at 4 p.m. on Saturday.

Tennis on the rise in Canada

AMING six current tennis professionals isnâ€™t that difficult for most Canadian sports fans. You start with Nadal, then Federer, Andy Murray, Venus and Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova. For a bonus point, most could come up with Novak Djokovic. An avid Canadian court fan might even throw out the names of longtime Toronto star Daniel Nestor and our countryâ€™s current topranked player, Milos Raonic. OK, smarty pants â€” hereâ€™s the next part of the quiz: Name Canadaâ€™s two Wimbledon champs from 2012. Huh? Itâ€™s not a trick question. Filip Peliwo of Vancouver and Eugenie Bouchard

BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW of Westmount, Que., won junior Wimbledon championships in London this past summer and both are plan-

ning to start playing for pay as early as next year. Canadian tennis is on the rise! The victories at the All-England Club by the two 18-year-olds mark the first time players from Canada have won the worldâ€™s most prestigious junior tournaments. But, to longtime tennis watchers, the triumphs werenâ€™t that big a surprise. Tennis Canadaâ€™s

(TC) Louis Borfiga was brought to this country from France for the express purpose of developing junior tennis stars. Borfiga is vicepresident of TCâ€™s high performance athletic development and when he arrived he was troubled by discovering that Canadaâ€™s best young players were â€œplaying to play, not playing to win,â€? according to Sportsnet Magazine.

Fortunately, statistics also show that progress in medical science and improvements in our lifestyle have helped people to survive these illnesses, and to live longer.

with a 4-3 loss to the Kelowna Legends on Saturday afternoon — a game Kamloops trailed 4-0 after nine minutes, but rallied to not only make it close, but to nearly tie it in the final two minutes of play. Vinterlik, Michael Hutchison and Connor Jensen tallied for Kamloops, which went with Monteith between the pipes. Scotiabank then met the Legends again Sunday in the game for fourth place. This time, the teams waged a back-and-forth battle and settled for a 4-4 draw. Watson, Vinterlik, Galloway and Milburn scored for the Bandits and Kohorst stood tall in net. Milburn, Fletcher, Vinterlik and Galloway were all winners of the tourney’s game MVP heart and hustle awards. Fletcher, Kohorst, Vinterlik and Luke Petrie nabbed the team’s hardhat award for hardest-working player. The Bandits return to league play on Sunday, when Vernon pays a visit to McArthur Island Sports and Event Centre at 9:30 a.m.

KMHA WEEKEND (Oct. 12 to Oct. 14)

The success of Peliwo and Bouchard show that Borfiga’s efforts are paying off. The two work out daily at the National Training Centre in Montreal for about 10 hours, including more than six hours on the court. Said Borfiga to Dave Zarum of Sportsnet Magazine: “Before, there was no system; everybody was training all over the place. My first goal was to regroup the best players in the same place with the same coaches.”

The grouping strategy is obviously paying dividends. Peliwo, ranked No. 1 in the world in junior boys, and Bouchard, now No. 2 among the world’s female set, could perhaps be the world’s next Nadal and Sharapova. Why not?, says Borfiga. “It’s a change in mentality,” the tennis guru told Zarum. “That’s the point we’re trying to make: Why not Canada?” Care to comment? brucepenton2003@ yahoo.ca

THE GHOST TRAIN IS LEAVING Will You Dare Board? On a spooky Halloween night in 1915, steam locomotive 2141 left Kamloops and chugged north to Blue River. As the train and its 44 passengers approached Wolfenden, a mysterious green mist arose and swallowed the 2141. When the mist cleared, the locomotive, its passengers and its crew had vanished. Nothing has been seen or heard from that train — unless it’s the Halloween season. Legend has it the 2141 reappears at the historic train station in downtown Kamloops, ready to take the living on a short, but eye-opening journey back in time — and across the line that separates this world from the afterlife.

Those brave enough to buy a ticket and step aboard the haunted 2141 may encounter the Undertaker and his misery. They may spot the anxious Bride-ToBe. They may be approached by the Widow carrying a box, on which she carries . . . something too hideous to reveal in print. They may come across a restless banker, a spooked salesman, a nurse and patient, a hurdy gurdy girl, a schoolteacher, a grave digger, bridesmaids, conductors — and more. They may steam past a graveyard and witness a scene that no amount of therapy can erase from the memory. And, they may hear the clip-clopping

of a horse and rest their frightened eyes on a body whose physical makeup defies logic. The Kamloops Heritage Railway’s Ghost Train leaves from the Lorne Street station four more times during this haunted Halloween season: Saturday, Oct. 20, Sunday, Oct. 21, Saturday, Oct. 27, and Sunday, Oct. 28. The train departs at 7 p.m. and may return — depending on whether it can find its way back from the other dimension — at about 8:10 p.m. The Ghost Train is very popular and sells out in short order. To check on available seats, call 250-374-2141, e-mail info@kamrail.com or go online to kamrail.com.

DO YOU HAVE YOUR CHRISTMAS WINE?

A pairing you can’t miss out on!

Surfer Mays inspired in California By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Hitting the road just seemed like the right thing to do for Matt Mays. It had been four years since his last release, Terminal Romance, and he was looking for inspiration. It didn’t hurt that he likes to travel, he said. Mays’ trip took him to many places, but one of the best for songwriting, he said, was California. There was a sense of freedom there, he said, and it came out in his writing. It didn’t hurt that the surfing there is awesome, Mays said, something akin to the kind of waves he’d look for in the ocean just off Nova Scotia. The road’s not a foreign place for Mays, who toured extensively to promote his first, self-titled release. For his second release, Mays added his band to the cover and hit the road again to promote Matt Mays and El Torpedo. That one gave him two of his most enduring hit singles, Cocaine Cowgirl and On the Hood. Known first for his work with the Guthries and then later as the frontman for Matt Mays and El Torpedo, it’s the singer-songwriter

MATT MAYS When: Monday, Oct. 22, doors open at 8 p.m. Where: The Blue Grotto, 319 Victoria St. Also appearing: The Meds and Gloryhound Tickets: $20 at the venue or at Long and McQuade, 955 Lorne St. in his solo guise — ith a bbackup k bbandd off with course — who will be at the Blue Grotto on Monday, Oct. 22. The Guthries was a Canadian alt-country band based in Nova Scotia, the place the Hamilton-born Mays calls home, having lived there most of his life. The band didn’t last long — it formed in 2000 and Mays was gone two years later — but developed a cult following. As for a reunion, Mays said he and some of the other band members have talked about it and he’s pretty sure it will happen — but don’t expect a new release or tour. If anything, it might be a concert in the hometown just to rekindle some memories, he said. El Torpedo folded when some of the band members moved on in 2009, and Mays moved into his globe-travelling, songwriting phase to that led to his fifth

release, Coyote. re Its creation happened after his trip pe through Canada, th Indonesia, Mexico and In the U.S., Mays said, th and he sees the songs an as following his own outlook on life, a sense ou of pure honesty. Coyote was released last month and la Mays’ tour started on M Wednesday, Oct. 10, in W Kingston. K It ends on Nov. 17 in Fredericton. F Also on the tour are The Meds, a Charlottetown rock band Mays discovered after listening to its demo CD while in

Free Soup Bow Songs from the bush

Good Timber: Songs and Stories of the Western Logger, is at Sgebrush Theatre on Tuesday, Oct. 23, and Wednesday, Oct. 24. The family-friendly musical revue traces the history of logs in B.C. through song. It’s presented by Other Guys Theatre Company, in partnership with the Royal BC Museum. The show is about 90 minutes long and is suitable for children ages eight and older. Tickets are $24 and $28 plus taxes and are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

And, for dance fans . . . ■ WHO: Blackdaze is composed of Darren Jones on bass, Todd Flodstrom on guitar, Russell Graham as lead vocalist and his brother Richard on drums and vocals. The Graham brothers are also members of the Infectuals and Jones is a member of Bluesfoot. Jones, Flodstrom and Richard Graham are also part of Fastlane. ■ WHAT: A poolside meeting at Flodstrom’s house led to tracking down a warehouse with a walk-in cooler — perfectly insulated for rehearsals — and, some paint, some posters, a fridge and gear later, rehearsals started going eight hours and the music flowed. ■ WHEN: The genesis of Blackdaze came from the threat of music and a desire to get together and play the songs the men had grown up with. Having also shared stages before in other bands, Jones said, there was a good chemistry already there. ■ WHERE: Blackdaze has played a lot of local pubs, including the Dirty Jersey, On the Rocks and Pogue Mahone Irish Alehouse. It’s booked into the Shark Club in Vancouver for a show and then will be back in Kamloops for a Halloween show Jones said is a killer on Oct. 31 at the Blue Grotto. Tickets for that show are $10. ■ WHY: It’s more

Ballet Kelowna is marking its 10th anniversary — and heading to Kamloops for a show at Sagebrush Theatre on Sunday, Nov. 4. The program includes the pas de deux between Swan Lake’s white and black swans, as well as world premieres of Double Variations by Simone Orlando and Joe Laughlin. The premiere features a score by Vancouver composer James Maxwell. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. For tickets, go online to balletkelowna.ca.

Notes on: Blackdaze than just a love of music for Blackdaze. It’s having grown up listening to Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers,

Motley Crue, Pantera and, of course, Ozzy Osbourne alone that inspired them to get together, have some fun, play the songs they love and share

that passion with their audience. ■ HOW: How to follow them? Go online to facebook.com/pages/ Blackdaze/4090325 72488129?ref=ts&fr

Deep-fried foods can be good for you For years ,we have been told deep-frying is bad for you, but new research published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition suggests it actually retains more antioxidant capacity in some vegetables than boiling or pan-frying. In fact, some vitamins

such as A, D, E and L, and beta-carotenes (found in yams), lycapene (in tomatoes) and luteinzeaxanthin (in spinach) actually require fat in order to be absorbed by the body. Unlike a skillet or pot, a deep fryer has an immersed heating element that keeps oil at the ideal temperature throughout

“It said so in one of those emails I get,” she says, then presents a meat pie that’s been reheated, from frozen, in a toaster oven. The pie, I discover, is holding at roughly the same temperature as microbiology-lab incubators all over the world. But, because I was taught to always be polite, even though my life may be on the line, I resist the urge to ask for a microscope and a slide.

And, I do the only thing I can. I take a bite, then another. I smile and say thank you, while secretly wishing for my microwave — nag feature and all.

the cooking process. This forms a barrier so only a small amount of oil penetrates the food to create a crispy crust. Steps to perfect frying: • Select the right oil: Opt for healthier oils that are low in saturated fat and have a high smoke point like peanut, soybean and palm oil, which have compounds that won’t breakdown at high temperatures. • Oil temperature:

The key to minimizing fat absorption lies in reaching and maintaining the right oil temperature which, for most foods is roughly 375 F. Any cooler than 325 F will result in foods soaking up to three times more oil. • Remove excess: Always blot cooked foods on a paper towel to remove excess grease before eating to keep calories and fat as low as

possible. • Filtering and conserving your oil: Oil can be reused up to six times if properly cleaned and stored in an air tight container. Quality units feature built-in filtration and storage systems that remove food particles and automatically drain the oil to keep its healthful properties. newscanada.com

The City of Kamloops, a finalist in the International Challenge (Large) category of the 2012 National Edition of Communities in Bloom, received a 5 Bloom rating and a special mention for Turf Management and Extreme Quality of Sports Accommodation during the National Awards Ceremonies at the Edmonton Capital Region on October 12th & 13th. Following their evaluation of the community, volunteer judges Bob Ivison and Alain Capelle wrote:

tis

8 slices Canadian back bacon, diced (1/2 cup) 1/2 medium shallot, finely diced 4-inch zucchini, thinly sliced into coins 4 large eggs 1/2 cup whipping cream 3 tbsps. all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce 1/3 cup fresh goat cheese (chevre) 5 strawberry (or 10 grape) tomatoes, halved Freshly ground pepper In a small skillet over medium heat, saute bacon and shallot until shallot is softened. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, flour and pepper sauce until combined. Lightly butter five custard dishes and into each place one tablespoon of the bacon/shallot mixture. Follow with four zucchini coins and one-half of the goat cheese, divided evenly between dishes. Sprinkle with a pinch of pepper. Measure one-quarter cup of the egg mixture into each dish, followed by the remaining bacon, four more coins of zucchini each, and remaining goat cheese. Sprinkle with a pinch of pepper. Add remaining egg mixture and press two halves of tomatoes into the mix. Place dishes on a baking sheet and bake at 340 F for 25 minutes, until lightly set. Place under broiler until tops are golden and puffed (five to 10 minutes). Serve immediately.

“The City of Kamloops is Canada’s Tournament Capital and to support this title and facilitate the sporting achievements the city has ensured that its sports fields are maintained to the highest standards.The facilities at McDonald Park and the new centre at Tournament Capital Ranch are exemplary and are a credit to the City. Other facilities in the city and at the Tournament Capital Centre are superb with state of the art equipment and technological innovation. The City considers itself to be leaders in turf maintenance and this claim is hard to argue with. The wealth of turf management expertise supports the health of the community.”

WEEKLY HOROSCOPE ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 There’s really no time for procrastination, Aries. If you want to be the early bird getting the worm, then you have to act quickly this week. Buckle down. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, sometimes the inexplicable is just meant to be a mystery. Don’t beat yourself up over not having all of the answers. New opportunities arrive Tuesday. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you can’t help but feel giddy over what is to come. Others will soon be caught up in this infectious feeling. Money matters take priority later in the week. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Hold on to your horses, Cancer, because it is going to be a bumpy ride the next few days. When you think everything will smooth over, it starts up all over again. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, a moment of inspiration comes when you weren’t even looking for it. Take the opportunity to do something fun with your ideas rather than focus energy on work.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 You are in dire need of a break, Scorpio. So relinquish the reins for a little while at work and take an extended vacation so you can recharge and regain your productivity. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may want to make a resolution to change a few things about yourself that seem irksome to others. The same old strategy isn’t working so give a new one a try. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, a battle of wills leaves you licking your wounds. Now you may need to regroup and ﬁnd a new way to mend fences. Put ﬁnances on the side for a while. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you may have been stepping aside and letting others take a leadership role in important decisions. But you have missed out on essential information. Get involved once more. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Others may not know just how capable you are at handling things, Pisces. Show them just how effective you can be.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you are back on track and the feeling is exhilarating. Right now you feel like your life has purpose and you’re shooting through goals left and right. Tackle romance next. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Indecision only leads to inactivity, Libra. Stop talking about all the things you want to do and just do it already.You may be pleasantly surprised with the results.

CROSSWORD ANSWER

Awarding the Nobel Booby Prize

AYBE they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to the European Union because they couldn’t think of anybody else who wouldn’t embarrass them. Nelson Mandela already has one. So does Aung San Suu Kyi. Barak Obama has one, though what for is not exactly clear. They even gave it to Henry Kissinger once, but we probably shouldn’t go into that. So, who’s left? We’ll just give it to the European Union. Nobody’ll notice that. But, they did notice and some of them were not amused. “A Nobel prize for the EU at a time Brussels and all of Europe is collapsing in misery? What next? An Oscar for [European Council President Herman] Van Rompuy?” asked Geert Wilders, the Dutch euroskeptic. “Rather than bring peace and harmony, the EU will cause insurgency and violence,” warned Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party (which wants Britain to leave the Union). France’s leading newspaper, Le Monde, asked on its website: “But, who will go to Oslo for the EU to receive the Nobel Peace Prize? As trivial as it may seem, the question raises [the legitimacy] of an entity . . . whose institutional stops and starts and lack of democratic representation are regularly criticized.” The EU was an elite project from the start and policy for the 27-member union is still set mostly by politicians and officials, not by citizens. So, don’t send a Brussels bureaucrat to Oslo to collect the prize. Send some ordinary citizen, chosen by lot, to represent the 500-million citizens of EU countries who don’t even have a vote on most EU decisions. However, don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH The original purpose of the Nobel Peace Prize was to honour people who worked to put an end to the terrible wars that have repeatedly devastated the European continent (and much of the rest of the world as well) over the past four centuries. The EU has made a major contribution to that task, but that is not its greatest achievement. It has been 67 years since there was a major war in Europe. Indeed, there have been no wars in Europe at all, apart from the various civil wars in the 1990s in former Yugoslavia (which was not a EU member). More importantly, a war between any of the EU’s member countries is now quite unthinkable. “This started after the [Second World] war — putting together former enemies,” said EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso in an interview with the BBC. “It started with six countries and we are now 27, another one [Croatia] is going to join us next year and more want to come. “So, the EU is the most important project for peace in terms of transnational, supernational co-operation.” That’s a bit over the top. The United Nations surely has more to do with 67 years in which no great powers have fought each other. As do two generations of American and Soviet officials and politicians who showed great restraint and managed to avoid a nuclear war that would have devastated the world. You could even give some credit to nuclear weapons themselves,

which forced the great powers to behave more prudently than usual. The great virtue of the European Union, despite its democratic deficit at the Brussels level, is that all member countries must be fully democratic, relatively uncorrupted and fully observant of civil and human rights. Not only has this prevented some members from backsliding into intolerance and authoritarianism in times of great stress, it has also been a huge incentive for prospective members to clean up their act. Would Greece, Spain and Portugal all have ended up as full democracies after overthrowing their old dictators, and in the latter two cases as relatively honest ones as well, if not for the changes they had to make to qualify for EU membership? Would the nine excommunist countries of Central Europe that emerged from the long night of Soviet tyranny in 1989 have created modern civil societies practically overnight without a great deal of aid from the EU? Would they even have bothered, without the incentive of future EU membership? Would Turkey have striven so hard to entrench respect for civil rights in the law and force the military to retire to their barracks permanently if it had not been offered the prospect (sadly betrayed) of EU membership? The Nobel Peace Prize is a misnomer. It should actually be the Nobel Democracy and Human Rights Prize. Occasionally, it goes to some person or organization whose main purpose is building international peace, but much more often it goes to people whose accomplishments, or at least goals, have been to make their own countries democratic and respectful of human rights. And, if that is the real criterion, then the European Union truly does deserve the prize.

A chance to try transcendental meditation A touring transcendental meditation program will be coming to Kamloops next week. Chelsea McCooey is a certified teacher of the Vancouverbased Transcendental Meditation Program and she will be in Kamloops from Oct. 22 to Oct. 26 to teach transcendental meditation. It has been taught for more than 50 years, with more than six-million people practising worldwide. Transcendental meditation is intended to allow the body and mind to settle to such an extent that it is able to gain deep rest and throw off accumulated stress and strain. Transcendental meditation is taught in seven steps, the first two of which encompass the complimentary introductory talk/prep talk. It is about an hour in length, plus time for questions, and explains

LOCAL NEWS the benefits a person can gain from practising the natural technique and how it works. After learning about the technique, there is the option to have a personal interview, then learn to meditate in four consecutive days. Introductory talks will be held at the Best Western Plus boardroom, 660 Columbia St., on Monday Oct. 22, at 6 p.m. (general public) and 8 p.m. (women only). For more information, go online to maharishi.ca, email cmccooey@tm.org or call 1-604-817-5993.

FAITH

Man: Who he is and what he can become

HERE ARE THREE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE THAT CAN LEAD US TO THE BIBLICAL CONCEPT OF MAN. The first comes from Psalm 8, probably from the pen of David. “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him. “For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and has crowned him with glory and honour.” The original Hebrew says: “You have made him a little lower than God,” which is a proper and preferable translation. The Psalmist says man, when compared with the vastness of the

NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH universe, seems insignificant. Yet, it is upon man that God has bestowed His greatest glory. Man is the crowning effort of all creation, for he is made in God’s own image. Let us never forget that. Whatever man has become, he was created with honour and dignity. He was made for God. God breathed into him the breath of life,

and he became a living soul. Thus, inspired by God, man has risen to great heights of achievement. He has written sonnets of infinite beauty. He has composed magnificent anthems of praise which have drawn men nearer God. But, reality brings a note of tragedy. What has man done with this glory in which he was created? Has it brought him closer to God or made him more fit to bear the divine image in which he was created? We need only look at our world for the answer: He has prostituted his God-given power and used his consummate skill for his own destruction. He has turned his mind, which has been able to unlock the

secrets of nature, not to good, but to evil. No wonder there is confusion in our minds. There can be some understanding when we turn to Paul’s statement in Galatians 6:14: “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.” This devout exclamation was born out of the realism in which the great apostle lived. The New Testament never minimizes the failure of man. God has not forsaken man. This is the note that must be sounded again and again. It is the ray of hope in the darkness. Though man has lost the glory with which he was created through his perfidy and sin, God’s redemptive love can restore him to his rightful place.

Why did God sacrifice His only begotten Son to redeem man? Was it because of what man was? No, it was rather because of what man could become by God’s grace. This is the only basis for any moral optimism today. Whatever kind of a monster man has made of himself, by the grace of God he can again become God’s man through Christ. That leads us to the third word about man which comes from what is one of the neglected books in the Bible, Revelations. It is a book with cryptic pages that contain a tremendous message for our times. I am aware it has become the favourite camping ground for those who try to write

history before it happens. Yet, it might well have been written for these days, so timely is its message. It is a vivid picture of the inevitable struggle of good and evil, Christ and the antiChrist. Its glory lies in the full assurances Christ and his Kingdom must ultimately triumph over Satan. Out of the ecstasy of his vision, John bursts into praise,:“Unto him that has loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood. . . . be glory and dominion forever and ever.” Here is the final consummation of man — man who was created in glory but who lost his favoured place through sin, will be restored to his place of glory as a king and priest before

God to reign with Him forever. This is the biblical picture of man.

TRAVEL

Fraser Canyon drop-dead gorgeous to visit By Jane Cassie SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

E’VE DRIVEN THE FRASER CANYON SO MANY TIMES DURING THE LAST THREE YEARS I COULD DO IT WITH MY EYES CLOSED. In fact, when my husband’s behind the wheel, I sometimes do. This scenic highway is the link between our White Rock residence and Cariboo retreat and, though the journey has become a regular routine, it’s really worth staying awake to experience. Usually, we zip through in an effort to get to our lakeshore sanctuary but, on this warm sunny day, we take time for stops and exploration. In the process, we discover this beautiful byway is a destination in itself. Hope, the gateway to the canyon, is a mountain-enshrouded enclave any woodsman would love. In 1808, Simon Fraser passed through this area in search of a waterway to the coast. Forty years later, the Hudson’s Bay Company had set up a fur trading fort. More recently, it’s been named the chainsaw-carving capital of Canada. Go figure. With all the timber around, it makes sense to whittle a little wood. Eagles, grizzlies, wolves and bobcats are just a few of the chiseled images poised in park areas. Historical tales weave a fine yarn when we check out the next two-bit town of Yale. It’s hard to believe this sleepy hollow was once the largest city west of Chicago and north of San Francisco. When the miners

hollered out, “There’s gold in them thar hills,” they must have all come running. Twenty hotels and 15 saloons quickly rose from the dusty streets in this first

incorporated town on B.C.’s mainland. There are walking tours, gold-panning demonstrations and museum memorabilia that share the stories. As well as check-

ing out one of our province’s oldest churches, St. John the Divine Anglican, we read about Andrew Onderdonk, a motivated pioneer who was contracted to get

the Canadian Pacific Railway chugging through the canyon. The historical saga continues when we pass through a dot on the map known as Spuzzum. Although it’s certainly not a must-see, this place, interpreted as Little Flat by the natives, was a toll station in the mid-1800s. At that time, primitive passenger boats were the only way to get across the canyon. As soon as GoldRush mania took over, the cruisers were replaced by the Alexandra Bridge and this money-maker evolved into the Wagon Road tolling station. Everyone had pretty deep pockets back then, even the highway workers. We cross to the other side of the canyon and stop at the Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park. Although there’s been a bridge at this locale since the Gold Rush began, it’s been replaced on four occasions. After a 10-minute stroll, we reach the remains of a tarnished relic, the predecessor to the one we just crossed. The wobbly silverplated trellis beneath my feet leads to

nowhere and feels more like a shaky scaffold. I edge out gingerly, and just long enough to provide a smile for that quick photo moment. After whizzing by the Alexander Lodge, an antique B&B from the gold glory days, our ribbon of highway seems to take flight to higher ground. While hugging up to the steep mountainside, we bisect evergreen thickets and cleave through tunnels of bedrock. “China Bar, Sailor Bar, Hell’s Gate . . ” We call out each name in succession and, like a couple of kids, hold our breath while driving through the granite-gouged passageways. The claustrophobic canyon measures 35 metres at the narrowest mark and the river below can run as deep as 50 metres during spring runoff. Two-hundred million gallons of water forge through this narrow gorge per minute, a figure double the volume of Niagara Falls.

101- 929 Laval Crescent, Kamloops

It comes as no surprise that taking on this aqueduct for Simon Fraser and his men would have been a tad challenging. In order to conquer the feat, they had to string up bark ladders and tackle the torrents on makeshift rafts. After losing a few along the way, they were pretty sure the river resembled the gates of hell — hence the name. Today, getting to the other side of this gulch is a breeze. From our Hells Gate Airtram, we’re privy to breathtaking views of both the canyon and the international fishways. And, while making the airborne descent from the highway to the river rock below, just like the rest of this Fraser Canyon journey, our eyes are wide open.
