KGHM Ajax is drilling at neighbouring claims owned by a Vancouver junior resource company as it expands its exploration program. Cicada Venture Ltd. confirmed yesterday it has a deal with KGHM Ajax that allows the company to drill on Cicada’s Iron Mask mineral claims. Company director Sammy Cheng said the two sides are working on a deal after an earlier agreement was not finalized. In January 2014, Cicada announced it had agreed in principle to sell its rights to the Iron Mask property for $1 million in return for a 20 per cent share of profits should it be put

into production. “We’re still negotiating,” Cheng said. “I think they want to see what’s there before they buy.” KGHM did not return messages yesterday seeking comment. However, a company spokesman said last year it was acquiring the claims only to advance Ajax works or infrastructure. An industry source familiar with the area, but not authorized to speak on the company’s plans, said KGHM Ajax may be interested in Cicada’s property for purposes that include condemnation drilling — exploration to confirm there is no ore beneath a proposed building or rock dump, for example — to expanding its probable reserves to neighbouring properties.

Cicada’s Iron Mask claims are immediately east of KGHM’s proposed open-pit coppergold mine on the city’s southern boundary. KGHM Ajax has budgeted $58 million in capital expenditures in 2015 that will include continued drilling. Earlier this week, KGHM Ajax’s Chris Wild told a Kamloops Exploration Group conference its exploration program includes what he called a “northeast extension” from the historic pit. “We’re looking at a significant addition to the resource base,” he said. The company intends to file its application to the federal and provincial governments this summer. Based on acceptance, it forecasts starting construction in 2016 and operation in 2019, Wild told the conference.

Another nurse assaulted at Hillside Centre DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Health Minister Terry Lake will be at Hillside Centre today after another nurse at the Kamloops psychiatric centre was attacked by a patient. Lake said he will be accompanied by B.C. Nurses’ Union *BCNU) president Gayle Duteil to meet with staff
and Interior Health Authority representatives. “No one should go to work and not be safe,” Lake said. He learned of the incident just hours after it happened at the psychiatric facility on Wednesday night. Lake noted Hillside is one of four psychiatric facilities identified last week at a
symposium as needing immediate attention due to the number of violent incidences each has TERRY reported. LAKE He said the plan is still being prepared with BCNU input, but noted he
wants to see it sped up in light of the latest incident at the facility adjacent to Royal Inland Hospital. “No one would say we can prevent every incident, but we need to minimize the potential,” Lake said, adding he wants to know what nursing staff at the centre need to feel safe. Lake said he’s been
told the nurse was treated at RIH and is resting at home. The ministry is paying for the project to address problems with safety at the centres.
Plans are to expand it in a second phase to look at the other eighty psychiatric facilities in the province. Hillside has had
TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF? There has been a spotlight recently on the phenomenon of elder abuse where people take advantage of the elderly, often for financial gain. This includes some transactions where the elder gives a valuable asset, yet receives nothing in exchange.
Summit call was part of multiple pranks Police have determined the vague threats that shut down a Kamloops elementary school this week were part of a case of widespread public mischief. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said Summit elementary received a report of a weapon threat by way of a phone call at about 2:15 p.m. Wednesday.
“This prompted an armed response by police to ensure the safety of staff and students,” she said. Mounties set up a perimeter and cleared the school before removing students and reuniting them with their parents. Bush said similar threats

were made at the same time to schools in other B.C. communities. “This further leads police to believe this was a false call,” she said. “These callers could face charges of public mischief.” The investigation into who placed the call is ongoing.
HAVE YOU, OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE, BEEN THE VICTIM OF THIS KIND OF ABUSE? Fortunately, the law provides several options for elders and their loved ones to remedy wrongful or abusive financial transactions. Even if the transaction is not discovered until after death, the estate or the beneficiaries may be able to undo the abusive dealings.

MUG SHOTS Victim in boat crash was intoxicated
CRIMES OF THE WEEK ATTEMPTED THEFT OF HORSES Over the last week, there have been three attempts to steal horses from a farm on Cactus Road in Cherry Creek. Fences had been cut and horses had been turned loose each time. Fortunately, all the horses where gathered up and returned to the farm.

There have been suspicious vehicles that have been seen in the area. A silver-coloured Subaru was seen, as was a white-coloured, dual-wheeled Dodge pickup truck pulling a light-coloured stock trailer. The Dodge truck with the trailer had been seem a couple of times driving slowly down the roads and the vehicle is not familiar to the area.

The man who was killed at the helm of his houseboat in a 2010 crash on Shuswap Lake was highly intoxicated at the time, according to his toxicology report. The report, entered as an exhibit in the ongoing B.C. Supreme Court trial of Leon Reinbrecht and obtained by KTW, shows Ken Brown had a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit to operate a vehicle as well as elevated levels of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, in his system. Reinbrecht was charged with one count each of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm following the July 3, 2010, crash at Magna Bay following a postCanada Day fireworks display on Shuswap Lake. The trial, which began in February, has heard Reinbrecht’s speedboat collided head-on with a houseboat being piloted by Brown. Witnesses have said they saw and heard a speedboat being driven erratically prior to the crash. Other witnesses have offered conflicting testimony about the lighting on the houseboat at the
time of the collision. During cross-examination of an RCMP marine-vessel accident investigator yesterday, defence lawyer Joe Doyle raised more questions about the visibility of the houseboat. RCMP Cpl. Richard Harry said a mechanical inspection following the crash showed the houseboat’s masthead light — a white light in the centre of the bow of a boat — was not working. “The masthead light did not appear to turn on,” he said. That would make the houseboat non-compliant with Transport Canada regulations. Harry said all boaters are entitled to expect that other vessels are operating following Transport Canada regulations and admitted that the houseboat was not in compliance at the time of the crash. “The houseboat was not displaying all of its required lights,” he said. A previous witness, a passenger on Reinbrecht’s speedboat, described the collision as “running into an invisible wall.” Harry was the Crown’s final witness. The defence is expected to call two expert witnesses next week.
Sunday lecture at TRU on Ajax’s social impact CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Thompson Rivers University professor said public debate on the proposed Ajax mine has become a dumbed-down argument pitting jobs versus the environment when the reality is more complex. Michael Mehta, professor of geography and environmental studies, is calling for a detailed social-impact assessment of the proposed mine, saying the comprehensive environmental assessment doesn’t include important social values. Mehta is scheduled to speak on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. at the university’s Alumni Theatre in the Clock Tower Building about risk, conflict and the social impact of the mine. The geographer will also speak on the so-called social licence required by a major resource industry wanting to establish beside a city, something more than sponsoring events or contributing money toward trails. Mehta also said the federal-provincial harmonized assessment’s handful of public meetings featuring Ajax staff and consultants don’t provide for needed public input. “The process we use in B.C. is somewhat broke,” he told KTW. “It doesn’t include, in a serious and robust way, social criteria.” The application expected this summer by proponent KGHM Ajax will include environmental and economic concerns, ranging from jobs and impact on endangered species to housing prices and taxes. But, Mehta said, the application won’t detail less obvious, but important, values that include recreation, tourism, aesthetics and “the symbolic significance of the site” — the branding and image the mine on the city’s doorstep may carry for decades to come. “Artificially, this is jobs versus the environment,” he said, noting social aspects that also aren’t studied include a change in demographics a mine may bring to the city. “All of these things are not adequately addressed in the assessment,” he said.

BEFORE THE COMMUTE, CHECK OUT #KAMMUTE CITY OF KAMLOOPS USING SOCIAL MEDIA, CAMERAS IN BID TO EASE TRAFFIC FRUSTRATION AS BRIDGE PROJECT BEGINS ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
I
f you happen to drive across Overlanders Bridge this weekend, take a moment to appreciate the last simple crossing from downtown to the North Shore you will make for the next five months. Beginning Monday, workers from Innovative Civil Constructors Ltd. will begin a $10-million-plus upgrade that will encompass not only the Overlanders’ deck, but an adjoining sidewalk, the Tranquille Road overpass and approach roads on both sides of the span. City staff say drivers should be prepared for delays any time they choose to cross the bridge. “Please be patient,” said public-works director Jen Fretz. Her words are echoed on the city’s website, where a section dedicated to Overlanders construction updates —kamloops.ca/ kammute — encourages drivers to try some yoga breathing and see the inevitable holdups as “an opportunity to find a moment of peace in our busy lives.” Only the westernmost lane of traffic on the bridge will close to begin, city capital-project manager Darren Crundwell told KTW, with the possibility of a second lane closure following the CFJC TV Boogie the Bridge run on April 26. Contractors will strip away the asphalt and waterproof membrane on the lane and make repairs to the concrete bridge deck beneath. At the same time, they will also begin structural repairs to the adjacent sidewalk, which sometimes sheds concrete onto traffic passing underneath the bridge. Also closing down is the
Tranquille Road overpass, which allows drivers on the bridge to exit into the Tranquille Market area. During that closure, the city will set up a left-turn signal on Leigh Road to allow traffic to connect to the area. All exits and entrances to the bridge for drivers heading south will still be open Monday. Crundwell said work on the overpass will take about four weeks to complete, though that’s a conservative estimate. The city has infrared analysis of both the bridge deck and overpass, but both are two years old and, Crundwell said, don’t show the extent of damage so much as its location. “If we get in there and it’s in a lot better shape once we peel back the asphalt, we may save time,” he said. The lane resurfacing will stretch over a longer period. Members of the public should expect 24/7 construction from the start of the project. What portion of the work will come after that is still somewhat in question and will depend again on the damage to the bridge structure itself, which hasn’t been touched since 1989. “That’s the thing with this project, it’ll be fluid,” Fretz said. “What they find may very well change things. It’s not a matter of having a set schedule and just working through that. “It’s a matter of saying here’s where we’re going to start and once we know what everything looks like — the deterioration, the order time, what do we need to replace, what don’t we need to replace — that’s when things will start to flow.” The city hopes to finish the
CAMP
WEB CAM ON ITS WAY
Want to check out construction on the bridge without making a trip to the river? The City of Kamloops is planning to allow anyone with Internet access to do just that. Lepik said the city is setting up a webcam in the style of DriveBC, which will offer views of the bridge throughout its five-month rehabilitation. Lepik said the webcam will pan to show all four lanes of traffic and bridge entrances and exits. Once it’s set up, the webcam feed will be available on the city of Kamloops website at kamloops.ca. “People will be able to get right in there and look,” she said.
NSBIA HOPES YOU WILL SHOP LOCAL With the overpass to the Tranquille Market about to close for about four weeks, North Shore businesses are also bracing for start of the Overlanders project. “It’s the big breath before the plunge,” said Stephen Puhallo, executive director of the North Shore Business Improvement Association. This week, the organization launched a buy-local campaign for the area, which it hopes will keep business moving if disruptions on the bridge keep South Shore customers from stopping by as frequently over the next five months. “It encourages people not to battle the bridge, but to shop, stay and play on the North Shore and rediscover their North Shore businesses,” Puhallo said. “We really want to take advantage of the congestion that’s going to happen and encourage people to check out a business on the North Shore before they go across the bridge.” Puhallo does expect the closure will affect businesses in the area, but said because the city gave the area advance warning, people have had more time to plan in order to weather the construction. “We feel that we have everything in place we can think of to help our businesses get through this,” he said.
DIAMOND AND PITC AWAIT — REGARDLESS OF CONGESTION
McArthur Island is home to many games — soccer, baseball and other. But, like businesses on the North Shore, sports associations and parents and players are at the mercy of the construction project “I don’t think we can really do much at all. We’re at the behest of those problems, just like everyone else is,” said Kamloops Youth Soccer Association executive director Keith Liddiard. “We’re not intending to make any scheduling amendments just to suit the bridge. We trust that people will have discussed alternate routes or will leave somewhat earlier to get to games. In any event, Liddiard said the schedule cannot be changed. “All of our games start at either 6:15 p.m., for the little kids, or 6:30 p.m., for the older kids,” he said. “If we start them any sooner, the coaches can’t get there in time from work and have problems getting home and getting changed — and we can’t play them any later because it will be dark. “It’s indicative of the fact that we only have the one major bridge that spans the north and the south although, obviously, you can go around through the highway. “It does show how one-dimensional we are in terms of options, but the options are there and I presume people will plan accordingly.” Kamloops Minor Baseball Association president Chris Balison echoed Liddiard’s thoughts. “We’re just going to make sure our parents are well aware and making arrangements to allow extra time to get to the island.”
Once in a while we have an opportunity to really make a difference in someone’s life, and the YMCA/YWCA’s “Send A Kid to Camp” program is certainly one of them!

project by October. While Crundwell said the contractor’s proposed schedule would see construction run past the beginning of that month, he thinks there will be opportunities to speed up the project. The city is hoping it may be able to use a special spray-on membrane to replace the existing waterproofing on the deck, for example, that takes far less time to install. In the meantime, city transportation co-ordinator Colleen Lepik is encouraging people to leave their cars at home if they want to cross the bridge. “We’re encouraging people to look at alternate modes of transportation,” she said. “Certainly carpooling, but maybe getting their bikes out or walking across the bridge, and transit.” She also encourages the public to check the city’s website or Twitter, where traffic updates will be posted using the hashtag #kammute.

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:
HOT: The debate surrounding the proposed $90-million performing-arts centre. It’s a good thing the City of Kamloops is hosting a public-feedback meeting tomorrow at Interior Savings Centre (10 a.m. to noon) because there are many, many people with plenty to say about the idea. If only comments on kamloopsthisweek.com were considered, the November referendum would be a slam-dunk defeat. But, as we know, there are far more residents who prefer to not post their opinions, so it will be interesting to see how the pro and con sides shake out when the doors to the arena’s Parkside Lounge open.

NOT: The ne’er-do-well who decided to get his or her kicks by calling schools across British Columbia this week, utter threats and create unnecessary stress for students, teachers, parents and police. It turns out the prank call to Summit elementary on Wednesday was one of many made to schools throughout the province — and all at about the time the final bell was about to ring. With images of Newtown and Columbine always in mind, the response must be quick and serious, even if we know such calls are almost always pranks. Here’s hoping the culprit is caught and punished severely.

HOT: The NHL playoffs. The real hockey season has thankfully begun and the parity among teams in all eight series could be at an all-time high. The real winner: All the pubs and restaurants in Kamloops and beyond that suffered through last season’s playoffs without the home team — Canucks — in the hunt. Chances are business is much better this April.w

Of food and transit security
O
n April 21, city council and staff will sit down for the first of two annual council workshops. On the agenda are an update from Venture Kamloops, a report from city staff regarding progress on the Sustainable Kamloops Plan, a draft of the Food and Urban Agriculture Plan and a report on transit-fare options. Workshops give council the opportunity to delve deeper into the nitty-gritty of issues and expand on the normal level of discussion afforded council during regular meeting times. I will use this column to focus on two of the topics up for discussion: the Food and Urban Agriculture Plan and transit-fare options. As someone who grew up on a farm, I’ve always had a strong connection to food and the farming community in our region. Access to nutritious food is something that, unfortunately, many of us often take for granted. Having access to good food is critical to each and every one of us being able to reach our full potential. Some might say a city has no place in looking at issues like food security and food sovereignty but I beg to differ. The city employs a large contingent of gardeners and horticulture staff and I would like to see a lot more of the plants those people are putting in the ground becoming edible ornamentals. The Kamloops Food Policy Council is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and I’m happy the city is partnering more

CITY HALL and more and contributing to many great successes. A few examples of projects that have happened or are underway are community gardens, community kitchens, food banks (for those in immediate-need situations), the gleaning program and educational public-produce gardens. These are all components of a sustainable local food system. The Food and Urban Agriculture Plan builds on these components and offers further solutions to ensure all Kamloops residents obtain a measure of food security. Another issue on the workshop agenda that will be receiving my close attention is transit-fare options. To me, funding transit is an investment. It’s an investment in reduced road congestion. It’s an investment in fewer tailpipes and lower levels of harmful particulate air emissions. It’s an investment in healthier people who walk more. And, it’s an investment in reducing the need for costly road-infrastruc-
ture work. In our province, two-thirds of the population have a driver’s licence, which means more than 30 per cent of our population does not. Whether the limiting factor is age-related, due to a financial barrier or connected to a disability, we all need access to transportation to hold a job, get to appointments and visit friends and family. In 2011, transit fares in Kamloops were raised by 12 per cent. Ridership in our city has seen significant gains in the past decade, but that rate of increase has slowed. Most of us have cost ceilings, whether it’s the entry cost for a city pool, the B.C. Wildlife Park, a movie theatre or transit fare. I believe we have reached a cost ceiling for transit and a further increase will have strong negative consequences on our ability to increase ridership. There are certainly many other ways to attract new riders to try the bus (including moving to 365day service), but affordability is a large factor. Both of the issues I’ve touched on have significant potential to impact the health of our community. Please feel free to contact me if you have input on these or any other issues.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
CITY FAILS ON WESTSYDE POOL MAINTENANCE Editor: I noted with disdain that Mayor Peter Milobar has claimed the infrastructure in Kamloops is well-maintained. As a regular user of Westsyde Pool, I have seen, for years, the roof problem. Every spring or thaw period brings out the buckets around the pool. The users, staff and maintenance workers have been aware of this ongoing problem for years. However, until February — when I emailed parks, recreation and cultural-services director Byron McCorkell about all the buckets full of brown water around the pool — nothing ever seemed to be done. Now there has been a quick fix of $30,000 and the city will do a permanent fix in the summer that will turn into a 15-month closure — all for a monumental price council will not even consider this year. If the problem had been addressed as part of the city’s so-called routine infrastructure
maintenance, we would have never gotten to this point. Senior management at parks and recreation needs to come up with a better answer than what has been provided to date. Comments by parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam implied the recent inspection revealed the degree of damage. Too bad neither Putnam nor any of his staff had come into the building a few years ago to assess the situation. Perhaps they were too busy pouring money into the Tournament Capital Centre. Now the city has a problem and will get it fixed at a huge cost. This is poor maintenance practise and for anyone to say they did not know of this problem does not pass the sniff test. City council passed the budget this week and will see if the Westsyde Pool project can be funded next year. That is not good enough.
The city pegs the repairs at $1.3 million now and is going to wait at least another year to have the repair work done. What will the price and excuses be then? Why is the city not getting a second opinion now from another engineering firm? This issue has been mismanaged for years and council’s answer is to wait another year or more. The question mayor and council should be asking, and one I would like answered, is this: After all the upgrades and renovations to the building, nobody saw a problem that was so obvious to the people that use and work at this facility. How could this be? Good luck with the proposed performingarts centre if the city cannot even maintain, or at least provide answers on, existing infrastructure. Dorance Fleming Kamloops

“I agree. $90 million could feed and provide shelter for a lot of people struggling to survive in Kamloops. Let’s look after what we have and look after the people in this city before we spend this amount of money for a few people to be able to sit in comfort within a new facility. “Maybe we should look at repurposing an existing building or school the city already own into a performing-arts facility. “Then, with the extra money, repurpose the schools that were closed and are sitting empty to make shelters and provide services that will benefit more than a privileged few.” — posted by Ken

Exploring Wells Gray still relevant STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Wells Gray Park’s magnificent volcanoes, clear lakes and towering waterfalls are timeless. The guidebook is not. In the age of online maps and outdoor blogs, is the guidebook still relevant? In the case of Exploring Wells Gray Park, conceived 40 years and six editions ago by author Roland Neave, the answer is yes. From the standpoint of pure information alone, good luck finding this detail on the internet. Maps, yes. But trail access information, history, ecology and anecdotal reports all
make the guidebook both a handy reference and something for the fantasy backpacker — more at home with a book by the fire dreaming of adventure that may never come than climbing the park’s peaks and kayaking its raging whitewater. Neave has a deep connection to the park: A mountain inside the park is named for his father, Hugh Neave, who first climbed what was popularly believed to be its highest mountain until mountaineer Roger Wallis found a higher peak a decade ago; Neave’s tour company is named after the park; and he owns property outside its boundaries. The latest edition of Exploring Wells Gray
Park, which hit bookstores and retailers earlier this month, is the first edition that is fullcolour throughout and features high-quality glossy paper full of photos and maps. It features the obvious in the iconic Helmcken Falls and popular canoeing destination Murtle Lake to the remote hiking of Flourmill volcanoes and rarely visited Hemp Falls. Exploring Wells Gray Park is fit for a snack by flipping its pages looking at glossy photos and maps or as a sitdown meal by reading chapter-by-chapter the park’s human and natural history. But, a better use is tucking the guidebook in the car and driving north to sample the

Pool a safety risk beyond summer Westsyde will keep its pool, but it will be some time before the swimming area re-opens following its annual June shutdown. On Tuesday, Kamloops city council voted to close the pool as of June while staff investigate the cost of repairing the building’s roof, which parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said will pose a safety risk if the facility was kept open beyond the early summer. Earlier this year, the pool, built in the 1970s, was shuttered for several weeks for repairs after moisture in the roof caused some of the wooden ceiling tiles to fall out. Putnam said an inspection at that time found years of warm, moist air had leaked from the pool into the roof, causing significant damage and making the building unsafe for use in the event of heavy snow or wind of a certain speed. “The wood is so saturated that it was very easy to stick a screwdriver into it,� he said. The city pegged repairs to the building of at least $1.3 million — more should the city make environmental or ventilation upgrades to the building in conjunction with the work. With the city’s 2015 budget nearly wrapped up, Putnam said the city will use this year to consult with the public on the project and come up with a plan for the repairs, with a goal of getting early capital approval for the project as part of first-round deliberations on the

Closing the pool until September of 2016 will save the city an estimated $170,000, though some of those funds will be used to cover the $30,000 the city spent on temporary repairs, which will allow the pool to stay open until June.

BOOGIE THE BRIDGE
Training Talk
RUNNING COMMENTARY with Jo Berry
It’s not really about running It seems people are under the impression the only way to become a better runner is to run harder, faster and further. The Boogie training program is unique to other programs because we use a mind-body-spirit approach, not just the physical approach. We are into Week 6 of Boogie training and our beginners who started with a one-minute run just ran trails for 55 minutes and completed a six-kilometre distance. The same goes for our two 10-kilometre groups and our 21Club (half-marathon). Everyone is succeeding and our approach works. I can’t tell you how many people have come to me at the end of our clinic and confided in me, “This is not really about running, is it?” — at which point I lean in, put my hand gently on their shoulder, look into their eyes and say, “No, it isn’t. Running is just the vehicle. Growth, change and living a life based on excellence is the goal.” Yes, running is important to be healthy, but so is personal and spiritual growth. I think it’s safe to say we all know fit, fast, super athletes who are not-so-healthy. Boogie training is a holistic model that changes people’s perspectives and builds community. Being healthy means opening our hearts a little wider, speaking more honestly and truthfully, shining brighter and loving more fully. We are kinder, gentler and open up to a life that is fun, full of laughter and connection. The CFJC-TV Boogie The Bridge is the celebration of the goals set for spring and the event itself shouts celebration. Boogie has reached its own milestones and accomplishments. It has raised more than $1 million and has seen thousands of people cross their personal finish lines and accomplished dreams. See you on Sunday, April 26, at the Riverside Park bandshell. We promise a fantastic time, a true sense of community and a personal high-five at the finish line.

The first step out the door is the hardest, says Coach Laurel. If you can do that, the rest is easier. Setting days during the week to run helps as having a friend to go with. Lucky for me, Run Club Gwen and I planned to meet and try a new spot for her runs in Peterson Creek Park. Meeting in the parking lot after work and hopping the creek, we headed up the old wagon path and followed the lower Sa-Hali trails below Bestwick behind RIH. It was sunny and warm with birds overhead and Buddy racing to check out interesting scents and diversions. It was a lot of cardio climbing up and down those high hills. It’s amazing such a wild natural park was planned years ago just steps from our homes and offices. I believe parks are great community connectors — even right of ways can connect neighbourhoods. This week was run three minutes walk three minutes. Coach Laurel’s advice was again spot-on — some days you are a rock star, others you are a rock. Every run is different but I don’t worry about how fast or how far I am going, it is enough to just do it. I know I am not at the rock star stage yet but I am making it through the rock stage with every step.
Training is getting serious now in preparing for next week’s Boogie events. In our most recent session, we walked for two minutes and ran for three for 30 minutes, with a result of 5.17 kilometres. A few short weeks ago, students didn’t believe they could run five kilometres. One week before Boogie, students have proven they can. More important than reaching training goals is the lesson: With a little bit of effort, practise and perseverance, you can achieve your goals. Students Carsen and Keagan asked their schoolmates for thoughts on Boogie training in one word. They used words like sporty, fun, amazing, entertaining, hard, happy, best experience of my life, tiring and awesome to describe their thoughts. It is a testament to the students and staff at the school. We have one training session left. I teach students that, once you have reached a goal, it’s time to set a new one. We discussed how to change goals without leaving behind ones we have already achieved. They don’t want to forget the feeling of their five-kilometre success. I gave them words I use to describe their character — strong, risk-takers, determined, hard-working, focused and confident. Many students want to try 10 kilometres.
People of varying abilities are in Run Club. Some are natural runners, way out in front. Then, there are those training at a more casual pace. I should have followed the latter. Last week, I told you I had a sore knee and, by Friday morning, it was bruised. I went to a doctor and learned I was too aggressive while training for the CFJC-TV Boogie The Bridge. I was told to increase running by only 10 per cent and to slow down my pace. Fortunately, with physiotherapy, I can continue running. I want to thank Wayne Richardson of Runner’s Sole, who got me into a new pair of running shoes with cushioned support. I have become passionate about running, even though I have never been athletic. Not all people training for Boogie are runners. I have known Barb for years. She is in Boogie training again this year and she power walks. I remember when I first began my training. She power-walked at a faster pace than my jogging. She has back problems, but it doesn’t stop her from getting out. She is inspirational. Good luck to my friend from Run Club, Deanna, who is competing in the Boston Marathon in a couple of days. Cheer her on!

K
en Huber is Rocky Balboa. Huber, the new CombSport BC heavyweight champion, shares many similarities with the famed Hollywood boxer. He might not be the most talented boxer out there, but what the Kamloops fighter lacks in talent, he makes up for in hard work. Huber often starts his fights slow, but comes on strong in the late rounds. Shy and reserved, he doesn’t trash talk much. He might not knock many fighters out, but he cripples them with a devastating body attack. And, while Huber might not work at a meat-packing plant as Rocky did, he does spend his days as a full-time heavyduty mechanic. Yes, there’s no shortage of similarities between the heavyweight champs and, in true Rocky style, it was the body attack that was the key to Huber’s titlewinning bout with Fernie fighter Bob Larson in Langley on the weekend. Late in the second round, already with two standing-eight counts to his credit, Huber put Larson on his heels with a left-hook to the ribs, before leaving him crumpled in the corner after landing a second hook to the chin. It was just the second knockout of the boxer’s career, his first coming in 2007. Huber’s record now stands at 28-5. “I was on top of the world,” Huber told KTW. “I felt like I was finally at peace with where I needed to be. “I wanted that fight so bad.” Like when Rocky fought Apollo Creed, Huber may have been thought of as the underdog against Larson. Not only was the Kamloops Boxing Academy coach fighting up a weight class — Huber usually fights about 20 pounds lighter, at cruiserweight — he stood 5-foot-11, 206 pounds to Larson’s 6-foot-4, 218 pounds. He was also coming off a five-round

Ken Huber’s story is not dissimilar to that of Rocky Balboa’s tale of boxing glory. The Kamloops fighter has overcome the odds to win two title belts.
unanimous decision victory for the cruiserweight title just 20 days before. However, Huber controlled the fight from start to finish. Now, with two belts on a shelf in his gym, he said the heavyweight title is, quite possibly, the biggest accolade of his career. “When it was all said and done, I felt a huge relief, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders,” he said. “I felt I solidified, in myself, that I’m the champ, that hard work pays off.” It was a whirlwind weekend for Huber. He left Kamloops to weigh in on Friday morning and entered the ring to fight that night. After winning the fight, he hit the road at 11:30 p.m. and was back in Kamloops by 3:30 a.m., at work four-and-a-half hours later, title belt in hand, for a 10-hour shift. Even Balboa took a day or two away from the plant after a win. But, Huber’s
year has been like that — there has been a lot of travel, a lot of fights and a lot of personal growth. He said his most recent victory again shows all that can be accomplished with hard work and dedication. As an earlier KTW article on the fighter highlighted, nearly a decade ago he was hooked on cocaine and crystal meth. Now, he’s one of the top Canadian amateur boxers. Huber reflected on how far he’d come as he travelled home after the victory. His story, like Balboa’s, is one of a life changed through boxing, through desire. “I never dreamed I would achieve what I’ve achieved,” he said. “Everybody wants to be the heavyweight champ. That’s what fighting’s about, that’s what boxing’s about.” Huber has always been known by the nickname “Heavy Hands,” but it’s looking more and more like a switch to “Stallion” might soon be in order.
When Ethan Mohan was 12, he walked away from baseball. Tired of the parentcoaches who relegated him to right field or sat him on the bench in favour of their own kids, Mohan decided he was done playing. He packed up his glove and his cleats and turned his back on his first sporting love. “I wanted to play and I wasn’t getting a fair shot,” Mohan told KTW. “When I quit, there were five dads on the bench and an uncle. So, there’s first base, second base, third base, starting pitcher, catcher. You’re done. You drop down to nine in the order and you’re playing right field.” But, now 24 and three seasons into his return to baseball, it’s hard to imagine he took any time off. Mohan, an outfielder in his first season with the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack, is among the league leaders in batting average (.454), runs batted in (15) and home runs (two) through 14 Canadian College Baseball Conference games this season. He also has eight triples — one of the most exciting plays in

baseball — a feat that demonstrates both the speed and power the 6-foot-1 right-hander boasts. He and the Pack will be in action again tomorrow and Sunday, at Norbrock Stadium to host the Okanagan College Coyotes and the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners. “It’s impressive because you can tell he was a good athlete,” WolfPack head coach Ray Chadwick said. “You can see, sometimes, he’s just completely raw in baseball sense. He’s missing it from being out of the game for that long, but he’s such a good athlete that he just makes up for it. “He’s so big and strong and fast — like I say, a tremendous athlete — that he just makes up for it. “It has been fun to watch. I hope we’ll have him here for another two years. It has been awesome.” See MOHAN, page A15

The CFJC-TV Boogie the Bridge run route on April 26 will be altered due to construction on Overlanders Bridge. Instead of starting on Victoria Street, the run will begin in Riverside Park, near Heritage House, and move south along Lorne Street for a short stretch, taking runners under the railway overpass and onto Victoria Street West. From there, participants will take Overlanders Bridge â&#x20AC;&#x201D; only one lane will be open to runners â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to the North Shore. There are no changes to the route once run-
ners cross the bridge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only going to be single-lane over the bridge, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be fairly tight,â&#x20AC;? said David DiFrancesco, the Boogieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s route director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a staggered start, to avoid congestion.â&#x20AC;? The City of Kamloops informed Boogie organizers on April 7 that changes needed to be made in order to satisfy the contractor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were sort of given the OK to go ahead as planned, then that was a shot out of the blue, but the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done everything, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve bent over backwards, to make sure the run is a go,â&#x20AC;?
AUCTION
DiFrancesco said. The Boogie started in Riverside Park from 2000 to 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The distances for runners may be slightly affected, but not very much,â&#x20AC;? DiFrancesco said. The 2014 Boogie featured 2,373 runners and raised $143,371.43, before expenses, for two charities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Family Tree Centre and the Canadian Mental Health Association Youth Clubhouse in Kamloops.

Mohan’s baseball path meandered From page A13
For whatever reason — frustration, anger, disappointment — it took Mohan nearly a decade to again consider stepping foot on a baseball diamond. He took up golf, playing in a few provincial tournaments, won a high school basketball championship and twice represented Alberta in water polo at junior national championships. The Calgary native never thought about the fact he had quit. In a way, the sport of baseball had become tainted, associated with memories of rejection and failure. He filled the void with other sports, a diversity he believes has made him a better athlete and, ultimately, a better baseball player. He graduated from high school, wrapped up his sporting days and went on to university in Ontario. But, it was at Western University that Mohan said he lost his way. “Ontario just didn’t work with me,” he said. “London, where I was, I just didn’t click in down there.” He felt overwhelmed and found himself becoming more and more withdrawn, introverted he said, rather

Ethan Mohan took a while to get to the TRU WolfPack, but the Calgary kid has wasted little time in making an impact in Kamloops.
than the outgoing and comedic person those around him once knew. Mohan isn’t sure why it happened, but he thinks not having sport in his life played a role. “It was a little bit of a darker time in my life, for sure,” he said. At the end of his third year, Mohan left Western and returned to his home in Calgary, where he took a year away from school to get himself back on track. It was there, living with his older brother, Owen, that his road back to baseball began. It started as the brothers were soft-tossing balls at a net in the garage one night.
Owen, who had also spent his youth playing baseball, watched his brother and saw the athletic ability was still there. Owen said Ethan needed to get back on the diamond. Before they knew it, the brothers were playing for two different teams in two different men’s leagues, suiting up in 60 games a summer just so the younger Mohan could get enough reps in. When they weren’t on the diamond, they were in
the park with a bucket of balls, Ethan tossing to Owen for hours on end, the elder brother unwilling to go home until younger had his throw just right. “My brother, he’s my rock for this. He has done everything for me,” Ethan said. “He finds my summer leagues, he got me here to TRU, he talked to Ray Chadwick for me. He sends out emails and starts all this controversy for me in the baseball world, just trying to get me a chance, a chance to play.” The more time Ethan spent on the field with Owen, the more doors opened. He started to show the talent he once tried to tell people he had. And, when tryouts came for the University of Calgary Dinos baseball team, he walked on and made the junior varsity club. A year later, he was on the regular roster as a bench player. Now, in his third year back to baseball, he’s an everyday leftfielder at Thompson
Rivers University. This summer, he’ll play for the Futures Collegiate Baseball League’s Seacoast Mavericks in Portsmouth, N.H. Ethan is excited to be having success on the field now with the WolfPack, but his return to baseball has always been about more than just playing a game. “It has changed my life, to the point where you don’t want to ever quit playing the game,” he said. “It just feels like it gave my life purpose.” Ethan said he doesn’t know where life will go after his summer with the Mavericks. He could return to the WolfPack or another opportunity may present itself. Having left the game for so long, his return to baseball has already been improbable — it would be foolish to dismiss the possibility he’ll be playing at the next level next season. With how far he has come since a handful of coaches dismissed him as a 12-year-old, maybe that’s just the push Ethan needs.

THE
LAW MUST YOUR WILL INCLUDE YOUR SPOUSE AND CHILDREN?
Y
ou may want to reduce what goes to a spouse or child after you die—or cut them out of your will altogether. Often the reasons are personal. In one court case, a son’s illegal marijuana growing saddled his mother with a court conviction, and he also tried to have her committed. Or the reasons may be cultural. Some cultures view a married daughter as her husband’s responsibility. But careful estate planning is critical, because some family members can challenge your will after your death. Under BC’s new Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA), your will must make adequate provision for the proper maintenance and support of your spouse and children. An unhappy spouse (including a common-law spouse) or child (including an adopted child) can ask the court to change your will. The court can order what it thinks is “adequate, just and equitable” if the will doesn’t adequately look after them. Tataryn is the leading case. Alex favoured Edward over his other son, John. He worried that if he gave anything outright to Mary, his wife of 43 years, it would end up with John. So his will allowed Mary to live in the home for life and gave her income from a trust. Upon her death, his will left everything to Edward. John was cut out of the will. Mary and John went to court, and the Supreme Court of Canada changed the will. Mary got the house and the rest of Alex’s estate (after gifts of $10,000 to John and Edward). Some rental income also went to her, and upon her death, the rental property would go one-third to John and two-thirds to Edward. In deciding on adequate provision, the court said that both the legal and moral duties of the will-maker must be met. If the estate is big enough, and there’s no good reason for cutting out a child, then, morally, an independent adult child should get something. Since Tataryn, estate lawsuits in BC have increased. In one, two adult daughters challenged their mother’s will. She left behind an estate worth $550,000. Her will gave $10,000 each to her three daughters (one accepted) and divided the balance equally between her two sons. In line with her native Indo-Fijian culture, the lion’s share went to the sons. The BC Supreme Court changed the will. The two plaintiff daughters each got one-fifth of their mother’s contested estate, and the remaining three-fifths was shared between the two sons. The judge said: “In modern Canada, where the rights of the individual and equality are protected by law, the norm is for daughters to have the same expectations as sons when it comes to sharing in their parents’ estates.” In another case, the court changed the will so a gay son received the same inheritance as his two brothers. Whether you can disinherit or reduce the share of your spouse or child depends on the situation, but options exist. Your lawyer can help you carry out your wishes.

RiverDogs kickstart season In a game that was shortened due to darkness, the midget AAA Kamloops RiverDogs earned a 7-6 victory in six innings over the hometown Vernon Canadians on Wednesday. The tilt was the first of the B.C. Minor Baseball Association regular season for the RiverDogs, who sent Christian McCauley to the mound. The starting pitcher lasted five innings and gave up four runs on one hit, with four walks and five strikeouts. Avery Holloway entered the game, giving up two runs in 1/3 of an inning. Bryant Jameus relieved Holloway and secured the final two outs. Connor McKenzie led the way at the plate for Kamloops, registering a single, a double and four RBI. He also scored a run.

BRIEFS Riley Jepson slapped two singles, walked once and stole a base. The RiverDogs are next in action on April 25, when they play a doubleheader against hometown Ridge Meadows. On April 26, Kamloops will square off in a doubleheader against Tri-City in Surrey. The local midget squad’s home opener is slated for May 2 against Vernon at the Canada Games Field on McArthur Island.

Sedins among current dynamic duos WILL GRAVES
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — They are megawatt talents so universally known in NHL towns that saying their names is not required, only their jersey numbers. In Pittsburgh, there’s 87 and 71. In Chicago, 88 and 19. In Washington, 8 and 19. In Vancouver, 22 and 33. Their task over the next two months is to somehow navigate the ever-uncertain waters of the playoffs, where sport’s most userfriendly trophy doesn’t always go to the teams with the brightest lights, merely the hardiest ones. It’s a push-pull that dates from the earliest etchings on the Stanley Cup. Is it better to build a team around a pair of lamp-lighting point machines (and a hot goaltender) or four effective interchange-
able lines (oh, and a hot goaltender)? The first round marks a litmus test of sorts. The Penguins and former MVPs Sidney Crosby (87) and Evgeni Malkin (71) face a relentless wave of New York Rangers, who happen to have the league’s best record. The Chicago Blackhawks got Patrick Kane (88) back early from a shoulder injury just in time to join Jonathan Toews (19) in the lineup against solid if anonymous Nashville. Washington’s Alex Ovechkin (8) and Nicklas Backstrom (19) powered the Capitals to a second-place finish in hockey’s tightest division and their reward is John Tavares and his buddies with the New York Islanders. The Islanders took the first game, 4-1. The Vancouver Canucks bounced back

Vancouver is hosting Game 2 tonight at Rogers Arena. Game time is 7 p.m. Stars win regularseason games and lots of them. If they don’t
get some help, though, hoisting the Stanley Cup becomes another matter entirely. “They’re elite players within the league,’’ Washington general manager Brian MacLellan said. “In the playoffs, the focus becomes shutting them down. And it becomes harder for them to score. I think they’ll get their goals and their points, but
you’re going to need the guys behind them contributing offensively for us to be successful.’’ Crosby and Malkin boast a cup on their glittering resumes, but it’s six years old and growing more distant by the day for a team that struggled to clinch a ninth straight post-season berth. Kane and Toews have a pair of champi-
“It’s hard because you have to be so aware when they’re on the ice because they can do stuff normal guys like me can’t do,’’ Bennett said. “You have to gameplan against them. At the same time, everyone is responsible. Everyone needs to contribute to wins in the playoffs.’’ And, if the great players produce great things, all the better.

MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United’s resurgence in the Premier League will be given the ultimate test when the team heads to Stamford Bridge on Saturday, bidding to halt Chelsea’s march to the title. The league trophy is looming into view for Chelsea, which is seven points clear with a game in hand and needs 12 points from its last seven games. That seemingly is a formality given Chelsea is unbeaten since Jan. 1 and has developed a knack of winning games without playing at its best. Chelsea’s next two games are against United and Arsenal, the nearest challengers to the leaders and the two in-form teams in the country. For those looking for a late twist to the title race, it’s now or never. United has won its last six games — including victories against Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City — so is playing well enough to cause an upset this weekend, when two of football’s great tacticians go head to head. Jose Mourinho was given his break in management by United manager Louis van Gaal when he worked as an assistant to the Dutchman at Barcelona from 1997 to 2000. If United becomes the first team to beat Chelsea in the league at Stamford Bridge this season, it would move Van Gaal’s team above Arsenal and into second place. Arsenal is playing in the FA Cup semifinals against second-tier club Reading in a game at Wembley Stadium that runs concurrently to Chelsea-Man United.

NBA POST-SEASON Going to the Derby? Low seeds like to deliver Leave selfie sticks at home BRUCE SCHREINER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOUISVILLE — For the 160,000 people crammed into Churchill Downs on Derby Day, picturetaking can run neck-and-neck with betting and sipping mint juleps amid a winning field of photo opportunities: sleek racehorses, daring fashion statements, celebrities and the twin spires. But this year, they’d better not use selfie sticks. Joining a growing list of museums, music festivals and sports venues around the world, the iconic Louisville track hosting the 141st running of the Kentucky Derby on May 2 has banned the pole-like contraptions that grasp cellphones and allow people a longer reach to snap their self-portraits. Other events such as the Coachella and Lollapalooza music festivals also have banned the photo aids. Prominent museums including the Smithsonian and the National Gallery of Art in Washington prohibit their use. Selfie sticks aren’t allowed
inside Yankee Stadium. Some English Premier League soccer teams make the devices offlimits, and the Australian Open tennis tournament discourages fans from using them courtside. Churchill Downs encourages selfies and the avalanche of social media attention they can generate. But, banishing selfie sticks is a safety measure to protect the horses and the massive crowd on Derby Day, track spokesman John Asher said. “I don’t think it’s a huge sacrifice for anybody who loves to take a selfie,’’ Asher said. “You’ll still be able to take a selfie. You just won’t be able to take one of yourself as if your arms were nine feet long.’’ The selfie-stick ban will extend beyond Derby Day to apply whenever there is live racing at Churchill, he said. Chris Scherf, executive vicepresident of the Thoroughbred Racing Associations, said he hasn’t heard of any other U.S. horse tracks banning the devices. But, he said he wouldn’t be
surprised if other big tracks follow Churchill’s lead. “Actually I would expect a lot of sports to have concerns about their potential misuse,’’ he said in an email. At Belmont Park in New York, a review of security policies for the June 6 Belmont Stakes will include selfie sticks, said track spokeswoman Jenny Kellner. Meanwhile, the NFL is evaluating whether to allow the devices into stadiums next season, said league spokesman Brian McCarthy. Canadian inventor Wayne Fromm, who took out a selfie stick patent a decade ago, said he had no problem with Churchill’s policy. “It’s prudent to limit its use because, even inadvertently, it could cause a problem,’’ he said. “We have to roll with the punches.’’ Fromm said he doubts such policies will hurt sales for his Quik Pod devices. “It’s like saying if you can’t use your camera at a concert, does that mean people aren’t going to buy cameras anymore?’’ he said.
upsets in NBA playoffs ANTONIO GONZALEZ
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — The Golden State Warriors know all about playoff upsets. After all, the franchise pulled off one of the biggest stunners in NBA history just eight years ago. This time, they’ll be trying to avoid suffering the same fate they once handed out. The Warriors enter the playoffs as the NBA’s top seed after winning a franchise-record 67 games. Of course, it wasn’t that long ago that Golden State downed Dirk Nowitzki and the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks — another 67-win team — in the opening round of the 2007 playoffs. Now Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans will try to upend the Warriors when their first-round series starts tomorrow. Atlanta (60-22), the top seed in the East, begins with Brooklyn. Knocking off a No. 1 seed in the opening round is difficult, but it’s certainly not unprecedented. Here’s a look at some of the best eight seeds ever: • 1998-1999 New York Knicks. The labour lockout shortened the season
to 50 games, giving the reconstructed Knicks (27-23) little time to integrate newcomers Latrell Sprewell and Marcus Camby. But when the playoffs started, they matched up against the rival Miami Heat and looked like a different team. The Knicks eliminated Atlanta and Indiana before San Antonio beat them in the NBA Finals. • 2006-2007 Golden State Warriors: The playoffs are all about matchups, right? Perhaps no team proved that more than the “We Believe’’ Warriors (42-40), who were making their first playoff appearance since 1997. Golden State beat Dallas (67-15) in six games, becoming the first eight seed to win a best-of-seven series. The Warriors lost to Utah in the second round. • 1993-1994 Denver Nuggets: Dikembe Mutombo grabbing the final rebound and falling to the floor in sheer joy as his teammates piled on him is one of the most indelible images in NBA history. The centre’s celebration came after the Nuggets knocked off a Seattle SuperSonics team that won a franchise-record 63 games behind Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp. The Nuggets were the first eight seed to beat a No. 1 seed.

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the elds of ripening grain. I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rush Of beautiful birds in circling ight. I am the star-shine of the night.

The Ship
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is on object of beauty & strength & I stand & watch her, until at length, she is only a speck of white cloud just wheret he seas & sky meet and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!” Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination. Her diminished size is in me, not her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone, there are other eyes watching for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes!”. Henry Van Dyke

FAITH
The Beautiful Sayings
E
very Sunday, sermons ring out from the pulpits of Kamloops
churches. Pastors, ministers and priests explain the scriptures and make it real and applicable to modern life. But, the most famous sermon of all was the Sermon on the Mount, delivered by Jesus of Nazareth. Scholars have declared it to be the essence of Christian theology, a set of ethics that has guided the great thinkers and leaders of the Christian faith for centuries. The sermon’s opening statements are called the Beatitudes (pronounced bee-ATT-itudes). The word comes from the Latin word for happiness but, because of their power and wisdom, they could be called the Beautiful Sayings. There are eight Beatitudes and we’ll look at four in this column:
CHRIS KEMPLING
You Gotta Have
FAITH
1. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Many of the Beatitudes are counterintuitive, in that they run counter to conventional wisdom. The first is a typical example. How is it that the “poor in spirit” qualify for the richest reward — heaven? What Jesus is saying is those who are painfully aware of their sinful nature and unworthiness, are the most likely to see the gift of heaven. It is their innate sense of humility and, corre-

spondingly, their gratitude to God for their salvation, that grants them a place in heaven. By contrast, Jesus spoke very harshly about self-righteous hypocrites who are going to be very surprised when they are denied admission to heaven. 2. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Keep in mind Jesus’ audience consisted primarily of the poor, who were only too well acquainted with suffering, loss and premature deaths in their families. We all long to be comforted in times of despair and grief. Here is a promise from the king of kings that comfort in times of mourning is assured. Part of that assurance is the gift of eternal life and the prospect of seeing one’s loved ones again in paradise. For many, one of the great gifts of religious faith is the comfort they
receive in times of great grief. 3. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. I once saw a bumper sticker that said, “The meek will inherit the earth (if you don’t mind).” This is another counter-intuitive statement but, once you peel back the layers of meaning, it does make sense. The original Greek word is prautes and one of its secular uses was to describe a well-trained horse — in other words, “broken” yet still powerful and useful as it responds obediently to its master’s commands (think of the Lippizaner stallions). That is how a Christian must be — meek (humbly obedient) to the Lord’s directions, yet courageous, forthright and useful in delivering the message of God. But, what about the “inherit the earth” part?
This can be seen in three ways. The Book of Revelation recounts the ultimate destruction of Satan and all evil-doers. Those who remain (the meek) will inhabit a “New Jerusalem.” He who overcomes will inherit all this and I will be his God and he will be my son. The second possible meaning comes from research done by William Strawbridge and his colleagues (American Journal of Public Health, 87(6), June 1997: 957-61), which compared frequent attendance at religious services and mortality in a well-designed longitudinal study over 28 years with 5,286 people in Alameda County, Calif. The results showed those who were actively engaged in religious practice were 36 per cent less likely to die during the study period than those who were infrequent or non-attenders
of religious services. In other words, the “meek” are inheriting the earth because they are living longer. The third reason the meek will inherit the earth is that religiously observant people have more children than secular people. Vancouver Sun religion writer Douglas Todd recently noted that mostly Catholic Latinos have an average of 2.75 children, while nonreligious whites average 1.66 children. 4. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Theologian Karl Rohmer once said, “A mystic is someone whose life is ruled by thirst.” Despite the concerted scorn of atheists and pervasive apathy of “don’t care-ists”, there are still many people who are desperately thirsty for transcendent meaning in their lives.
This is a realm only religious belief can fill and, to our collective dismay, a large number of disaffected young men are slaking their thirst in radical Islam. The sad irony is that, instead of righteousness, they seem to be thirsting for murder, rape and mayhem. It is people like Mother Teresa and Albert Schweitzer, however, whose thirst for righteousness led them on a path of selfless service in honour to God. God guarantees that those who seek him, will find him.

Cirque du Soleil preparing to announce sale on Monday, says source THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — Emotions are high at Cirque du Soleil as the company is preparing to announce the sale of the famed Quebec circus troupe on Monday even though co-founder Guy Laliberte has yet to fully sign off on the transaction. Employees are sad because an era in one of Quebec’s creative success stories seems to be on the verge of change, said a former senior official who remains close to old colleagues. “I’m very emotional because it’s the end of something extraordinary,’’ said the source, who didn’t want to be identified. Laliberte told workers on Wednesday he had not yet concluded a sale agreement, which reports say would be for something under $2 billion. “To be perfectly honest, there are a lot of discussions taking place at the moment,’’ Laliberte wrote in a short email. “However, and as I usually do, be sure that you will be the first informed if I conclude an agreement with new partners.’’ Sources close to the deal say U.S. private equity firm TPG
Capital is close to completing a deal that involves Quebec pension fund manager Caisse de dépôt and a large Chinese investment fund. Laliberte would reportedly continue to hold 10 per cent of the company after the sale and Caisse another 10 per cent, with TPG holding 60 per cent and China’s Fosun Capital the remaining 20 per cent. The new owners plan to maintain the Cirque’s headquarters in Montreal and would expand its global operations by opening a support office in Shanghai, where Fosun is based. While Cirque has expanded in China, there’s room for a greater presence in Asia because of demand for more live entertainment productions, he added. “There will obviously be increased operations there, but by no means is this meant to be a headquarters in Shanghai. It would simply be a base of support for the Cirque’s continued operations in China,” said a source close to the deal. TPG is the world’s largest casino owner with a stake in Caesar’s Entertainment, while Fosun owns Club Med resorts.
While the Quebec government has said it wants Cirque’s head office to remain in the province in the event of a sale, Premier Philippe Couillard said yesterday in the legislature it won’t intervene in “a private transaction.’’ Former Caisse executive Michel Nadeau said the pension fund manager wouldn’t heed political pressure and would only make an investment if it made financial sense. He said TPG, with $80 billion of assets under management in some 300 companies, is a very good manager. “When you have these type of guys in the driver’s seat, it’s good for the Caisse,’’ he said in an interview. The purchase price is reportedly less than what Laliberte was seeking. But, after a 30-year run, it is natural for a billionaire entrepreneur to sell his company as the product matures, competition increases and the public reacts more slowly to the offering, said Nadeau, who now heads Quebec’s Institute for Governance of Private and Public Organizations.

MAYOR SURPRISED BY RULING THE CANADIAN PRESS
SAGUENAY, Que. — The Quebec mayor who would recite a prayer at the beginning of municipal council meetings says he’s surprised by the Supreme Court of Canada’s unanimous ruling that the practice must be stopped. Saguenay Mayor Jean Tremblay said yesterday he will comply with the judgment even though he doesn’t agree with it. “I respect the decision and we will stop the prayer, for sure, but I can’t be in agreement with it after having fought for so long,’’ he told a news conference. The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday the reading of a Catholic prayer at council meetings infringes on freedom of conscience and religion. Canadian society has evolved and given rise to a “concept of neutrality according to which the state must not interfere in religion and beliefs,’’ the judgment said. “The state must instead remain neutral in this regard.’’ The ruling ended an eight-
year legal battle that pitted atheist Alain Simoneau and a secular-rights organization against Tremblay. The mayor expressed surprise at the judgment, especially as the Quebec Court of Appeal had previously ruled unanimously in his favour. “We thought the matter was over, considering the appeals court is the highest court in Quebec and especially as the Supreme Court only handles cases of national interest,’’ he said. “And we thought that, in our case, national interest was a bit exaggerated. “We were shaken by the ruling. I’ll tell you it was a real surprise. Unanimous. That was a surprise.’’ The judgment had an immediate impact in some cities and towns across the country, with Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson suspending prayers at a city council meeting and the mayor of Levis, Que., saying he’ll do the same next week. The Speaker of the New
Brunswick legislature said it’s too soon to say if the decision will have an impact on the daily prayer in the legislative assembly. Legislature staff are studying the ruling and will forward their findings to a committee of the legislature for a decision, said Chris Collins, who added there will be a prayer when the legislature sits again Tuesday. In Oshawa, Ont., Mayor John Henry said the judgment will not change anything in his city. “During the preamble prior to the [counci] meeting, I ask members of the audience if they’d like to join us in a moment of personal reflection or the Lord’s Prayer and then we follow up with O Canada and then we call the meeting to order,’’ he said. “You can choose to say it, not say it, you can participate or not participate . . . I start it prior to the meeting so it’s not part of formal council process.’’ “It started long before I became mayor and the practice will still continue.”

CABINET SECRECY BLOCKS RATIONALE BEHIND HARPER GOVERNMENT’S ADVERTISING THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Strong. Proud. Free. And a state secret. The genesis of the Harper government’s “Strong Proud Free’’ slogan currently bombarding Canadian television viewers is considered a cabinet confidence and will be sealed from public scrutiny for 20 years. A request by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act seeking background rationale for the tagline, which is being used to punctuate all the latest taxpayer-funded advertising, has come up empty. That’s because a 149-page Treasury Board submission on advertising has been deemed advice to cabinet, placing it behind a lead sheet of secrecy even the federal information commissioner can’t penetrate. No title for the submission, nor a date, author or even the department that originally prepared it can be revealed. A spokesman for the Privy Council Office, the bureaucracy that supports
the Prime Minister’s Office, would only say that the slogan is “drawn from the thematics’’ of the government’s 2013 throne speech. Opposition critics point out the language is also drawn from the 2011 Conservative party platform and mirrors themes promoted as Conservative values on the party website and in fundraising pitches. The theme of this election year’s Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa? Strong. Proud. Free. “Using cabinet confidentiality on something that should be so benign is ridiculous,’’ said Mathieu Ravignat, the NDP Treasury Board critic. “They’ve been caught using a partisan tagline and they’re hiding behind cabinet confidentiality to avoid the political fallout.’’ No minister or department will claim responsibility for the marketing campaign and requests for comment from the Prime Minister’s Office were returned by the Privy Council, which co-ordinates government advertising.

WCT needs kids for Mary Poppins CASTING CALL Auditions for girls ages 10 to 13 and boys ages eight to 11. Rehearsals start on Nov. 2. Deadline for applications is May 25. Auditions are on June 6.
Western Canada Theatre is holding auditions for its holiday production of Mary Poppins. The theatre is looking for someone to play the two Banks children, Jane and Michael. Auditions are open for girls ages 10 to 13 and boys ages eight to 11. Children auditioning will need to prepare a song, preferably from a Walt Disney movie, but not from Frozen, as well as a song and short scene from Mary Poppins. Sheet music for this requirement will be provided. Children must also
be able to sing harmonies and sight-read music. Rehearsals start on Nov. 2 and continue to Nov. 25, with rehearsals after school and on weekends. The theatre said absences from rehearsals will not be allowed and it might be necessary for children to miss some school — for example, to do the school matinee performances. Deadline for applications is Monday, May 25, with auditions on Saturday, June 6. To apply, send a photo and resume of description of previous theatre experience to Heather Cant by email at heather@wctlive.ca.
Tickets available at these locations:
COUNTRY COMMAND
Country duo Sons Command plays The Dirty Jersey on Friday, May 1. The first single by Sal Plamonte and Shawn Meehan hit radio charts earlier this year and the two musicians are on the road to promote their music. Citing influences from bands like the Eagles, Alabama and Lynyrd Skynryd, Sons Command creates music the pair describes as “Bro Country.” The first single, Go For A Ride, celebrates their friendship and philosophy to just take the musical journey and not look back.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hilarious farceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coming to Stage House DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
R
od deBoice always loved theatre, sitting in the audience, captivated by whatever play was on stage. An audition call in 2012 for wouldbe actors caught his attention and, soon enough, he was in the cast for Dearly Departed, presented by the Kamloops Players. Since then, deBoice has directed a couple of one-act plays for the community-theatre group, along with some dinner theatre, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stepped up to a bigger platform now, directing the Norm Foster play Self Help. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the story of Hal and Cindy Savage, second-rate actors who successfully â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at first
â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cast themselves as self-help gurus. In typical Foster comedy style, their plans head off in a different direction, one that includes a bumbling maid, brassy talent agent, nosey newspaper columnist and distracted police detective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hilarious farce,â&#x20AC;? deBoice said of the production, which opens at the Stage House Theatre, 422 Tranquille Rd., on April 24. Consider the opening line, spoken by Hal: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Closing night. Thank God. Five weeks on the same stage with Mitchell Quinty is like having Laurence Olivier for a dentist.â&#x20AC;? As he speaks it, Cindy is reading a self-help book, thinking they could pull it off because, as actors, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making people believe in a fantasy? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

ing the script inside and out, he said, as the director leads the actors on the journey. The group benefitted recently when Tom Kerr, founder of what eventually became Western Canada Theatre, stopped in at a rehearsal.

erek Edwards won’t be joking about snow when he comes to Kamloops. The Canadian comedian likes to add a bit of a local flare to his standup routines and it wasn’t difficult during the Atlantic Canada leg of his Baloney and Wine tour, where a series of blizzards gave inspiration to jokes at Moncton’s Capital Theatre in March. “Over 14 feet of snow,” he told KTW in a phone interview from Toronto. “It was kind of hard to imagine.” Edwards will be browsing through local headlines and taking a look around when his tour lands in Kamloops on April 27. “It freshens up the whole act,” he said. The comedian hails from Timmins, Ont., and is known for identifying with the ordinary working man, having gained accolades in the

Canadian comedy community since his start nearly three decades ago. He won Best Standup Comic at the Canadian Comedy Awards, was nominated for several other awards, including multiple Geminis, and has a resume of television and radio credits ranging from The New Red Green Show, CBC’s The Debaters and Just For Laughs. Rick Mercer once called him the funniest man in the country. “It’s a very discomforting and humbling thing to hear someone say kind words like that,” Edwards said. “There’s so many hilarious dudes out there. “I don’t put myself anywhere near the top 100.” He looks up to comedians like Chris Rock, Louis C. K and
Norm Macdonald. “He’s [Macdonald’s] one of the first guys I ever saw work in a small room,” Edwards said. “It was just magical. “He took it over the top.” Edwards has been to Kamloops before and said his show at Sagebrush Theatre will be whimsical escapism, “a couple of observations and a little bit of human nature.” The River City is the last stop on his tour, which began in Prince Edward Island in early March. Up next, summers usually calm out, he said, but he’s expecting an invite to Montreal’s Just For Laughs festival in July. He will fill his time with writing, radio and television, but said there’s nothing quite like working live. “When you’ve had a good show, people are in some kind of pain when you leave the room,” he said. Tickets for Baloney and Wine are $40 and are available at Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483 or kamloopslive.ca. The show is at 7:30 p.m. and runs 90 minutes.

JAZZ GROUP TO COOK UP MUSIC WITH STUDENTS DALE BASS

yan Oliver can point to the moment when he discovered jazz. He was in junior high school in Williams Lake when he heard John Coltrane play saxophone. “I went home and told my folks I wanted to learn sax,” said Oliver, one of five musicians who make up The Cookers. Soon, he was learning from Michael Butterfield, “a great teacher and a great tenor [sax player]. “He would lend me CDs and I was in the horn section for his band while still in high school,” he said. From there, it was off to Nanaimo to study music at Malaspina University
The Cookers will perform at St. Andrews on the Square, 159 Seymour St., on May 2. Tickets are at Kamloops Live box office.
College, a trip abroad to Amsterdam to play music. Eventually, he made his way to Toronto, where he encountered like-minded musicians Tim Hamel (trumpet), Alex Coleman (bass), Joel Haynes (drums) and Richard Whiteman (piano). It was 2010 and The Cookers was born. At first, they were playing a lot of the classics — people like Horace Silver and Art Blakey — but “then we started writing our own tunes and started playing them.” The band is on tour now, stopping in Kamloops for a show on May 2 at St. Andrews on the Square, 159 Seymour St.
They’re doing more, though; just like a visit to Kamloops a few years ago to a sold-
out show at the Stage House Theatre, they’re going to do some workshops with local
Canada’s Equestrian University-Preparatory High School for Girls
music students on May 3 and May 4. “It’s great fun for them and fun for us,
too,” he said. Tickets are $20 and are available at the Kamloops Live box
office, at 1025 Lorne St., by calling 250-3745483 or online at kamloopslive.ca.
Correction A list of events that ran in the Tuesday, April 14, edition of Kamloops This Week incorrectly stated an event at St. John Vianney, where the Old Time Fiddlers will perform live, is on April 25. It is, in fact, on May 2. Meanwhile, it is also hosting an event on April 25, but at the Heritage House in Riverside Park. For more information, call Pat Benson at 250-374-8454.

A habit ablaze: Giving up the butts, e-cigarettes
T
he other day, someone asked me how quitting smoking was going. That day, up until that exact moment, it was going fine. Then, as I inhaled annoyingly clean air, I had the strongest urge to scream so loud dogs in Merritt would hear me. My pen somehow morphed into a cigarette before my eyes and it took all my willpower to not light the end and take a drag of the blue ink. That was day 11. Now it’s day 17. This isn’t the longest I’ve gone without smoking since I started and it’s definitely not my first kick at the can.

TO NONE It’s my third attempt in two years and my second time writing about it. The last time I took a figurative pen to paper to talk about the hellish task, I was three months into my first attempt and lying about how much I was cheating. I wrote about fictional characters like
Tyler Durden and the Pink Ladies looking suave when they lit up, which was obviously the reason for my attraction to the habit — a pop-culture conspiracy. I wrote about my triggers and how smoking occasionally was still better than smoking all the time. I referenced statistics from the World
Health Organization and Health Canada, such as 90 per cent of quitters relapse. I was in denial about already being a part of that statistic and, soon after, I was back puffing full-time. The second time I tried to quit, I took up “vaping.” This was a halfbaked attempt with a convenient cop-out: I
was merely seeing how long I could go without smoking if I used an e-cigarette — maybe it would work, maybe it wouldn’t. The concept has been a hot topic. Only last month, KTW reporter Cam Fortems wrote about the provincial government’s move to regulate e-cigarettes, putting them on the same field as tobacco. Everyone is stuck on the fact the health effects of vaping are unknown, but there is acknowledgement of its potential to be a legitimate way of getting off tobacco. Well, it didn’t work for me — it just made me want a cigarette. Now the taste of the
vapour, no matter the flavour, is off-putting. That’s just me, though. I think many smokers will find success with e-cigarettes and legally equalizing them to tobacco is fair. They still contain nicotine, one of the most addictive drugs, and shouldn’t be accessible to teens. No one should have to inhale it secondhand, even if it is “just vapour.” In my current (and, hopefully, last) attempt to kick the nic, I’m not relying on any aids. I want to learn to not want nicotine. I read Allen Carr’s book The Easy Way to Stop Smoking. Rather than discussing why we shouldn’t smoke, Carr talks about why we do and then proves all those reasons inadequate. First of all, I’m calling bullshit on the “easy” part. There is no easy way and anyone who thinks so is wearing too many nicotine patches and the poison is seriously messing with their neurotransmitters. Easy or not, what
Carr is trying to do is get us back to where we were: Being a true non-smoker, who no longer sees any benefits in the habit, who pities smokers rather than envies them. This is sticking with me and I’m fully motivated by the reasons I don’t want to light up. The truth is, I’m bitter about falling for the smoking trap and annoyed I’m writing this column again. It’s not that I ever thought I would beat the cycle. When I shrugged off the seriousness of taking up smoking, my dad said to me, “What makes you think you’re different from the millions of other people who get addicted to nicotine and struggle to overcome it?” I’m there now and I get it. It’s gross, expensive and killing me. I quit. Jessica Klymchuk is a reporter for KTW. Email her at jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com or find her on Twitter @jjklym.

Q: There are schools in Kamloops named after people, but the policy now is to not name them after people. Why was this policy adopted? A: SD73 superintendent Karl de Bruijn told KTW in an email that it was to avoid conflict and debate over who schools would be named after. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This goes back before Pacific Way,â&#x20AC;?
B9
he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pineridge, Aberdeen, Sa-Hali, Brock, Westsyde, Summit, etc.â&#x20AC;? SD73 trustee Gerald Watson said the policy goes back to the early 2000s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rationale
advanced by administration was that it was that the debate over the merits of a name reflecting a retired/ deceased person involved in education could become disrespectful,â&#x20AC;? he said.

VOLUNTEERING AT TRU’S CFBX DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
There’s one truism for anyone who is thinking about volunteering with community radio station CFBX. “It’s hard to hit a button and make the whole thing go off,” Steve Marlow said of the equipment upstairs in the house the station calls home at Thompson Rivers University. The station is holding its annual volunteer drive, looking for people not only interested — STEVE MARLOW, in hosting shows, but CFBX PROGRAMMING also working behind CO-ORDINATOR the scenes. The drive started last week and continues to April 24, said Marlow, programming co-ordinator at the community radio station. There are some musical — and non-musical — genres the station is hoping to see filled, especially classical music and programming in other languages. Marlow said he’s also hoping to find some people who will do morning shows and, ideally, even overnight. Although it’s located on campus, anyone can be involved. There is usually a mix of about half TRU students and half coming from other walks of Kamloops life. Volunteers are trained on basic rules and policies — information that is common sense and straightforward, Marlow said — and then shown the basics to run a show. Once the first couple of weeks pass, he won’t be hovering around much at all. “We’re not like commercial radio where you have to do things at certain times,” Marlow said. “We’re very laid back.” Programming includes folk, roots, classical, jazz, funk, blues, punk, metal, hip-hop and electronic. Spoken-word programming ranges from social and political issues to sports and entertainment. Anyone interested can call the station at 250377-3988, email radio@tru.ca or dop into the office at House 8 behind the Campus Activity Centre.

Maintaining healthy eating while on shift LAURA KALINA
LIMIT COFFEE TO TWO CUPS A DAY
SPECIAL TO KTW
W
orking shifts can upset your body’s internal clock and overall health. When you work shifts, you may find it hard to know when and what to eat, so here are 10 nutritional tips for shift workers: • Eat your main meal early if on a later shift. If possible, eat your main meal before you go to work and have a small meal and healthy snacks during your shift. Eating large meals at night can cause heartburn, gas or constipation. It can also make you feel sleepy and sluggish. • Preparation is key. Eat more protein and lower glycemic carbohydrates. Not surprisingly, night-shift workers often struggle with feelings of drowsiness. Protein foods like tuna, eggs, lean chicken, roast beef, baked beans, split pea soups, soy nuts, low fat cheese strings, cottage cheese and peanut butter increase alertness. High-glycemic carbohydrate foods like bread, potatoes and cereal have a sedating effect.
— LAURA KALINA
• Avoid fatty, fried or spicy foods. Foods such as hamburgers, fried chicken and spicy chili may lead to heartburn and indigestion. • Avoid high-glycemic carbohydrates such as cookies, candies, snack foods, sugary sweets and sweetened beverages. Too much sugar isn’t good for anyone and it may be even more damaging for night-shift workers. These foods spike blood sugars, then cause a crash, which hampers alertness and mood. • Take your time eating. Don’t rush when you eat. You deserve your break, so enjoy every single bite of meals and snacks. If possible, eat with others. • Stay well hydrated. Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration because it can help you to stay alert during your shift. Keep a water bottle nearby and take sips even before you feel thirsty.

Low-fat milk, tea, unsweetened herbal tea and lower sodium 100 per cent vegetable juices are examples of nutritious beverages. • Watch the caffeine. Drinking coffee, tea or other caffeinated beverages can help you stay alert, but don’t consume more than 400 mg of caffeine a day (the amount of caffeine in two cups of regular coffee). Caffeine can stay in your system for up to eight hours, which can affect your sleep. Switch to decaffeinated, herbal tea or water about four hours before bedtime. • Avoid drinking alcohol after work. A drink may make you feel more relaxed, but
alcohol can disturb your sleep. • Choose healthier snacks. Night-shift workers often find themselves snacking to keep their energy up and this can lead to empty calories that contribute to weight gain. Raw vegetables like baby carrots, radishes, celery and snow peas are a great way to satisfy the urge to snack; they are low in calories and high in nutrients and fibre. • Stay at a healthy body weight. Healthy eating and active living play a big role in helping you reach and maintain a healthy weight. A healthy body weight will lower your chances of getting heart disease, diabetes and some types of cancer. For more information, go online to nutritionmonth.ca.

TURKS MUST FACE THE PAST
POPE DEEMS MASS KILLINGS A ‘GENOCIDE’
I
t is with great reluctance I write about the Armenian genocide, as I know from experience that what I say will infuriate both sides. But, it is the 100th anniversary of the catastrophe this month, and Pope Francis has just declared the mass killing of Armenian citizens of the Ottoman empire in 1915 was indeed a genocide. Turkey, predictably, has responded by withdrawing its ambassador from the Vatican. Well, what a surprise — we’ve been listening to this argument for several generations now and it rarely gets much further than “Yes, you did!” “No, I didn’t!” Unfortunately, I know a lot more about it than that. Ages ago, when I was a history graduate student doing research about Turkey’s role in the First World War, I got into the Turkish General Staff Archives in Ankara and found the actual telegrams (written in the old riqa script) that went back and forth between Istanbul and eastern Anatolia in the spring of 1915. Later, I saw the British and Russian documents on their plans for joint action with Armenian revolutionaries in the spring of 1915, so I also know the context in which the Turks and Armenians were acting. And, I can say with some confidence, both sides are wrong. There was an Armenian genocide. Of course there was. When up to 800,000 people from a single ethnic and religious community die from violence, hunger or exposure in a short time and are under guard by armed men from a different ethnicity and religion at the time, it’s an openand-shut case.
There was an Armenian “genocide. Of course there was.”

WATCH (Today’s Armenians say 1.5 million died in 1915, but that’s too high. It could be as few as a half-million, but 800,000 is plausible.) On the other hand, the Armenians desperately want their tragedy to be seen in the same light as the Nazi attempt to exterminate the European Jews and won’t settle for anything less. But, what happened to the Armenians was not pre-planned by the Turkish government and there was provocation from the Armenian side. That doesn’t remotely begin to justify what happened, but it does put the Turks in a somewhat different light. A group of junior officers called the Young Turks seized control of the Ottoman empire in 1908 and their leader, Enver Pasha, foolishly took the empire into the First World War at Germany’s side in November 1914. He then led a Turkish army east to attack Russia, which was allied to Britain and France. That army was destroyed in the deep snow around Kars — only 10 per cent of it got back to base — and the Turks panicked. The Russians didn’t follow right away — poor generalship — but, the Turks had almost nothing left to stop them if they did. The Turks scrambled to put some kind of defensive line together, but
behind them in eastern Anatolia were Christian Armenians who had been agitating for independence from the empire for decades. Various revolutionary Armenian groups had been in touch with Moscow, offering to stage uprisings behind the Turkish army when Russian troops arrived in Anatolia. Learning the Turks had retreated in disarray, some groups assumed the Russians were on their way and jumped the gun. Similarly, the Armenian revolutionary groups further south, near the Mediterranean coast, were in contact with the British command in Egypt and had promised an uprising to coincide with planned British landings on the Turkish south coast near Adana. Quite late in the day, the British switched their planned invasion much further west to Gallipoli but, once again, some of the Armenian revolutionaries didn’t get the message in time and rebelled anyway. Pasha and his colleagues in Istanbul simply panicked. If the Russians broke through in eastern Anatolia, all the Arab parts of the empire would be cut off. So, they ordered the deportation of all the Armenians in the east to Syria — over the mountains, in winter, on foot. (There was no railway yet.) And, since there were no regular troops to spare, it was mostly Kurdish irregulars who guarded the Armenians on the way south. The Kurds shared eastern Anatolia with the Armenians, but the neighbours had never
been friendly. So, many of the Kurdish escorts assumed they had free license to rape, steal and kill and, between that, the lack of food and the weather, up to half the deportees died. To the extent that the Turkish government knew about it, it did nothing to stop it. More Armenians died in the sweltering, disease-ridden camps they were confined in once they arrived in Syria. It was genocide through panic, incompetence and deliberate neglect, but it cannot be compared to what happened to the European Jews. Indeed, the large Armenian community in Istanbul, far from the military operations in eastern Anatolia, survived the war virtually unharmed. If the Turks had only had the sense to admit what really happened 50 or 75 years ago, there would be no controversy now. The only duty of the current generation is to acknowledge the past, not to fix it (as if they could). Instead, there has been a 100 years of blank denial, which is why the issue is still on the international agenda. It will stay there until the Turks finally come to terms with their past.

Also, 100 Men Who Care The women have hit their 100-member goal and now the men are being invited to step up, too. Following the creation of the philanthropic group 100 Women Who Care, Norm Reed is holding a meeting for men who wish to join 100 Men Who Care. Reed, a chemistry professor at Thompson Rivers University, said the club would follow the women’s model, with quarterly meetings at which members donate $100 to a charity the group will choose. Non-profits and charities are nominated and the names go into a hat. Just before the meetings, three are drawn and each nominee is invited to give a five-
minute presentation about the charity. Members vote and the successful organization gets the cheques. Only organizations that can issue tax receipts and which have been in existence for at least a year can participate. The winners are invited back to the next meeting to tell the members how the money was used. Reed has scheduled the inaugural meeting for Monday, April 27, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., at Desert Gardens Community Centre, 540 Seymour St. For more information, he can be reached at 250-573-4109 or 250-828-5451.

no basis in fact. The chemicals often associated, such as mercury, have not been present in vaccines for quite some time. Others, such as MSG or formaldehyde, are not present or are present in such small quantities that they are deemed completely safe. 3. Diseases, such as measles, are just a normal part of growing up, so my kids don’t need to be protected from them. True, for some kids or even most kids, but, for small children and babies, measles can result in permanent damage and death. Not protecting children with a simple vaccination can put other children in danger. As we have seen recently in California and closer to home in the Fraser Valley, measles outbreaks can have serious consequences for some children. 4. Vaccines lead to a weaker immune system because the vaccines do the work your own body should be doing. This represents such a fundamental misunderstanding of how vaccines work that it’s hard to give it any credibility at all. Vaccines use your body’s immune system by introducing the disease or virus in a nonactive form. Your own immune system produces the
antibodies and, in effect, does all the work. That’s why you don’t need constant boosters. 4. God will take care of my children so, if it is his will they get sick and die, so be it. Need I say more ? It’s amazing that some parents are concerned about kids bringing peanuts to school, but not worried about unvaccinated kids bringing diseases to school. Should vaccines be mandatory? Absolutely. Do you remember when we were kids and we all got polio? No, you don’t because we were marched down to the gym and given a shot. How about TB? Remember when all your friends had that? No, you don’t because, thanks to vaccines, you didn’t get TB or polio or myriad other potentially deadly diseases. Please don’t fall for anything you hear or see on Facebook or from so-called celebrities. If you want to know the facts about vaccinations, ask your doctor and stay tuned for more insightful quotes from Super Prick. Oh — and get your kids vaccinated.

HELPFUL IN HELSINKI COLLEEN FRIESEN SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com
Y
ou can’t say we weren’t warned. Upon announcing our pending trip to Finland, the cautions came thick and fast. The well-intentioned advisories all sounded fairly similar, the gist of which was this: People in Finland are reserved, rarely smile and like to keep to themselves. I’m not sure where those Finnish people were hiding, but in our four days in Helsinki, we had to practically beat the helpful Finns off with a stick. The minute we’d stop with our map and our semifunctional compass, someone would stop to help us with directions. Maybe they couldn’t stand how hopeless we looked, as we stood, mouths agape, in our futile attempt to try to pronounce some multisyllabic street name like Mannerheimintie or Nordenskioldinkatu, or while looking for Temppeliaukion Kirkko (a church hewn from solid stone with a stunning copper-stripped roof). It is probably worth mentioning every single person that helped us was female. Maybe it’s because Finnish men, like men everywhere, can’t tolerate the idea of giving directions any more than they can asking for them. Whatever the reason, by the second
day we were comfortable knowing we’d never be truly lost— there would always be another blond woman standing by to assist. Helsinki is a city stuffed full of museums and galleries, but it was our visit to the centrally located Ateneum Art Museum that felt like a clue to all this female help. The regular collection covered wonderful moody Finnish art from the 1750s to the 1960s, but the special exhibit introduced us to Finland’s most beloved artist, Tove Jansson. It didn’t take long for us to understand why. Jansson’s output was prolific but, by far, her most popular art was produced from her Moomin children’s books. The series has been translated into 45 languages. Her art ranged from brave satirical magazine covers that dared to make fun of Hitler, to incredible evocative oil and pastel self-portraits, novels, short stories and comic strips. Jansson was born in 1914 and died, after a lifelong love affair with cigarettes, of lung cancer in 2001. Her lifetime partner was Tuulikki Pietila. The two women often collaborated on artistic projects. Perhaps the revered role model of Jansson, who is often described as “fiercely independent,” is one of the

reasons Finnish women were so confident with their help and with their dramatic sense of edgy style. Stockmann might provide another clue. Stockmann is the iconic Helsinki department store that covers everything from luxury brands to groceries, but the bookstore (oh my, that bookstore!) is where Stockmann truly shines. Combine a Finnish literacy rate of 100 per cent with three
floors of books and magazines that gleam on endless shelves, and you can see why Stockmann books is a destination unto itself and might be one more reason all those blondes have such a keen sense of direction and street smarts. Then again, it could be all that coffee. Finns are one of the world’s biggest coffee drinkers. Most Finns drink an average of six cups each day. Helsinki
has an endless supply of independent coffee cafes from which to choose. They also happen to be the biggest consumers of ice cream in Europe. Sounds like a pretty happy combination— maybe their habit of having a sauna (a daily habit for many Finns) melts off all that cream. Like many hotels in Helsinki, our stay at the fabulous Glo Hotel Art, housed in a former

poly-technical house from 1903, had its own sauna in the turret. It’s a gloriously restorative way to transition from a day of sight-seeing to your evening feast of reindeer. Which brings me to the food — it’s delicious and healthy brain-enhancing food. The dark Finnish bread is a meal unto itself, and the cloudberries, whether as a jam or enhancing a dessert, are a heavenly standard. Like the delicious renditions of reindeer, salmon is another menu staple. Helsinki is simply awash in endless pick-

led, brined and otherwise tastily-rendered salmon, whether in the wonderful wood market halls like Hakaniemi or on restaurant menus. It made me wonder why we don’t have as many creative ways to serve salmon back in Vancouver. I think we could take a few lessons from the Finns. I’m pretty sure they’d be willing to help — especially the women. Travel Writers’ Tales is an independent travel article syndicate. travelwriterstales. com.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION NOTICE Application for a(n) Permit Amendment Under The Provisions of the Environmental Management Act New Gold, New Afton Mine, 948 Station Main, Kamloops BC, V2C 5N4, intends to submit this application to the Director to authorize the discharge of air emissions from an underground copper-gold mine and processing facility. The source(s) of discharge are the underground mine, ore transfer works, processing plant, batch plant, assay lab and supporting infrastructure. The land upon which the facility is situated and the discharge will occur is Mining Lease 546063, District Lot 6465, Kamloops Division Yale District, West of the Sixth Meridian, located at 4050 TransCanada Highway West, Kamloops BC, V1S 2A9, within the Thompson-Nicola Regional District. Currently the permit identifies a volume of air emissions associated with the underground crusher and a specific portion of the mine. New Gold is seeking to change this discharge point to the exhaust fans, which essentially captures all air exiting the mine. The amendment will also align the permit with minor operational changes since completion of the commissioning phase. The maximum rate of air emissions discharged from this facility will be 31455 m3/minute. The operating period for this facility will be 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. The air emissions will consist of particulate matter. The type(s) of treatment to be applied to the discharges may include: dust collectors, scrubbers, water sprays, chemical dust suppressants and surface treatments. Any person who may be adversely affected by the proposed air emission of particulate and wishes to provide relevant information may, within 30 days after the last date of posting, publishing, service or display, send written comments to the applicant, with a copy to Stephanie Huska, Senior Environmental Protection Officer, at 400 – 640 Borland, Williams Lake, BC, V2G 4T1, Stephanie.Huska@gov.bc.ca. The identity of any respondents and the contents of anything submitted in relation to this application will become part of the public record. Dated this 14 day of April, 2015.
