Lawyer launches legal action against former client Jeremy Jensen wants title to Carol Haughton’s Knutsford property

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Real-estate foreclosures have been in the news a lot lately, but none quite like this.

A Kamloops lawyer has launched legal action against a former client — well-known local dog breeder and alleged puppymill operator Carol Haughton — seeking the title on her Knutsford property.

According to court documents obtained by KTW, defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen claims Haughton owes him nearly $100,000 — with interest building at a rate of more than $12 a day.

In a B.C. Supreme Court document filed

earlier this month, Jensen states Haughton owed him $89,038.47 as of Dec. 1, 2011.

Jensen has an indenture of mortgage on Haughton’s property.

Essentially, Jensen fronted his legal services to Haughton, with the real estate acting as collateral — technically becoming the lender in a mortgage.

The court documents claim Haughton has defaulted on her payments.

Jensen is now seeking foreclosure on the property, with the title being transferred to him.

According to the documents, Jensen’s mortgage with Haughton was filed at the Kamloops Land

Titles Office on Oct. 26, 2010, at which point she owed about $60,000 in legal fees.

Haughton’s legal troubles began in June of 2009, when BCSPCA constables executed a search warrant on her property.

Investigators seized 26 dogs and six cats from the home — which they described as “a puppy mill” — all of whom were allegedly in distress.

At the time, the BCSPCA described the condition of the home as “completely unacceptable,” noting the residence was “covered in feces, animal vomit, urine and garbage.”

Since then, Haughton has been charged with multiple counts of breaching her bail and has, at times, served significant stints in jail on remand.

She is presently on bail, with conditions limiting her contact with animals.

Aberdeen firehall now operational The city’s newest firehall is now open and ready to respond to calls.

As of Wednesday, March 21, Kamloops Fire Rescue station No. 7 in Aberdeen is operational, with a full-time firefighting staff of four and the capability to be used as a backup dispatch centre to the main dispatch centre in station No. 1 in Sahali.

Portions of the station are still under construction; therefore, tours of the station will not be available until an official grand opening takes place

According to the documents filed by Jensen, Haughton has 21 days to file a

response, beginning when the documents are served.

Kamloops Mounties converge on the scene of the city’s first homicide on Tuesday, March 20.

Forty-four-year-old Jaipreet Singh Toor is charged with second-degree murder in connection with the stabbing death of his father, 79-year-old Harsewak Singh Toor.

The killing took place in the North Kamloops home at 1189 13th St., in which the business licence of Onkar Electronics is registered to Jar Sewak Toor.

Son charged after father killed in North Kam

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A charge has been laid in Kamloops’ first homicide of 2012 — an incident that allegedly resulted in a grown man killing his own father.

Jaipreet Singh Toor is facing a charge of second-degree murder.

The 44-year-old was arrested on Tuesday, March 20, after allegedly stabbing to death his father, 79-year-old Harsewak Singh Toor, who was found outside the family home at 1189 13th St. Police were called to the home in North Kamloops at about 12:20 p.m. for an “unknown problem,” according to Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned.

Officers arrived to find the bloody aftermath of an

apparent altercation between father and son.

“As a result of that altercation, we have one person who’s died at the scene,” Learned said.

Neighbours told KTW they believe Jaipreet Singh Toor suffers from mental-health issues, noting he often wanders the neighbourhood exhibiting strange behaviour.

Toor has a long but recent criminal record, with at least 10 convictions.

In 2008, he pleaded guilty to impaired-driving charges in Kamloops provincial court and was ordered to pay a $1,200 fine and banned from driving for two years.

In that instance, Toor was located by police lying facedown outside his vehicle near Fulton Field.

He was too intoxicated to

undergo a breathalyzer test and was held in custody overnight.

In August 2009, Toor was sentenced to one day in jail and one year of probation after breaching court orders.

He was also fined $50.

Later the same month, he was sentenced to five days in jail and one year of probation after pleading guilty to one count of breach of recognizance.

One week later, he was sentenced to nine days in jail after pleading guilty to a single count of breach of an undertaking.

In January 2010, Toor was sentenced to 30 days in jail and 18 months of probation after breaching a previous probation order.

Also in January 2010, he was convicted on one count of assault with a weapon and one count of breach of recognizance, with the

charges dating back to the previous year. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail.

Last March, he pleaded guilty to one count of assault and was sentenced to 90 days in jail. He was also placed on a one-year probation term.

In May of last year, Toor was sentenced to 10 days in jail after pleading guilty to one count each of mischief under $5,000 and breach of probation.

Toor was charged last month with a new breach of the most recent probation order and his next scheduled court date on that matter is March 29, to fix a date for arraignment.

Someone with the name Jaipreet Toor operates a blog, snapcountready.wordpress.com, which appears to be based in Kamloops.

In a post dated April 11,

2009, the blogger talks about his apparent dealings with Kamloops RCMP. “I was forced to commit suicide three times because my circumstances were made such,” the post reads. “Now I feel there is divine intervention in my life a secure feeling at least I can blog about my situation before I get arrested again.”

Other posts on the blog reference Osama bin Laden as the blogger’s “dad” and the blogger himself as “the dragon.”

The same person also apparently operated a Twitter account, at twitter.com/jaytravolta.

Tweets from the user, whose information states he lives in Kamloops, also reference bin Laden.

Jaipreet Toor appeared in court on Wednesday, March 21, and will return on April 5.

Rick Hansen is Coming!

Twenty-five years since his Man in Motion World Tour commenced its historic crossCanada journey, Canadian hero Rick Hansen will continue his journey of making the world more accessible and inclusive with the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay.

The 25th Anniversary Relay began on August 24, 2011 in Cape Spear, Newfoundland.

From there, the relay is retracing the Canadian segment of his original tour, but this time the Relay is engaging 7,000 participants from across Canada who have made a difference in the lives of others. Focusing on engaging Canadians to take up the challenge and become catalysts for positive change, the Relay will feature Medal-Bearers who will run, walk, wheel or bike and complete their segments through a variety of forms of movement for all abilities.

Kamloops was chosen as one of the Relay’s End of Day Celebration cities, and Rick Hansen himself will be attending this celebration. Taking place on March 29th at 4:30 pm at the Tournament Capital Centre, this event will feature Rick Hansen completing the final 250 meters of his Kamloops segment with the City’s local Medal-Bearer and difference-maker, Todd Harding. This event will include demonstrations of wheelchair basketball and Special Olympics floor hockey, as well as a challenging wheelchair relay race, information booths, entertainment, free food and free parking.

The legacy of Rick Hansen’s Man in Motion Tour 25 years ago has resulted in Kamloops being a more accessible community. The two accessible playgrounds at Riverside Park and Prince Charles Park, as well as lift access at Norbrock Stadium and full accessibility at the TCC are just a few of the projects that resulted from the Rick Hansen Foundation.

Tan ban planned for youths tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

New provincial legislation announced this week banning people under the age of 18 from using commercial tanning beds will likely have little impact on tanning salons, according to two Kamloops business owners.

The owners of two popular local tanning salons, however, say the new law won’t make much of a difference for their businesses.

Bill Sanesh, owner of Bikini Bill’s tanning salon on Victoria Street, said less than three per cent of his clientele is under 18.

“It’s very, very small,” he said, explaining most of the youths who tan at his salon are there for medical reasons, including treatment of acne, psoriasis and depression.

Under the new provincial legislation, expected to be enacted this fall, youths will still be allowed to use

tanning beds with a doctor’s permission.

Manny Manuel, owner of Mannytan tanning salon on Lansdowne Street, said a similarly low number of youths frequent his business.

“I would say less than five per cent, for sure,” he said, expressing concern about the legislation for reasons other than the underage ban.

“For me, personally, I think it goes too far.

But, we have no choice.

It will be a law.”

Manuel took issue with the fact the legislation makes no mention of two issues that would help make tanning salons safer — mandatory skin-typing for clients and certification for operators.

Sanesh raised the same concerns.

“Any regulation that doesn’t include skintyping and graduatedexposure schedules shows an absolute lack of understanding on the part of the government,” he said.

“With the new regulations, they’ve done nothing to address those issues.”

Skin-typing is something already done voluntarily by most tanning salons.

It involves new clients answering a series of questions about their skin.

The answers are then inputted to a software program that gives a skin type and suggests how to avoid skin damage for the particular client.

Graduated-exposure schedules would see guidelines put in place limiting how much a client could tan at the start of his or her tanning-bed use.

Sanesh said it reduces the likelihood of burns and skin damage.

A group representing the tanning industry presented its own proposed regulations to the Union of B.C. Municipalities last year, but it was voted down.

That proposal included mandatory

OF BEAM” No volunteering in Kamloops when school resumes “BEST AT WHOLESALE PRICES However, union to vote on provincewide withdrawal of extra-curricular services

By Dale Bass and Tom Fletcher STAFF REPORTER AND BLACK PRESS dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A withdrawal of volunteer time by local teachers will proceed when school returns on Monday, March 26.

Jason Karpuk, president of the KamloopsThompson Teachers Association, said the motion to stop all non-paid work was passed before the B.C. Teachers’ Federation decided it would not take any new action in its fight with the provincial government in a contract impasse.

At a press conference in Vancouver on Wednesday, March 21, the BCTF announced that it plans to legally challenge Bill 22, the back-to-work legislation passed last week.

That bill requires a six-month cooling off period between the two sides, with a mediator working to resolve

the issues.

Karpuk said the BCTF has agreed the local action can continue.

He said the motion “was very specific and I’m going to continue with the direction given.”

Local teachers will meet later next week and new direction could come from that gathering. ‘”We get feedback, we answer questions and it’s possible other motions can come forward,” Karpuk said.

“We are doing what the membership wants.”

Lambert said union members will take part in a provincewide vote on April 17 and April 18 to decide if they will withhold voluntary extra-curricular duties provincewide to protest Bill 22.

The legislation gives the provincial government the authority to impose heavy fines for

The 25th Annual Kamloops Exploration Group

strike action during an imposed six-month cooling-off period.

A second member vote would have to be held with majority support before the union approves any strike action that would defy Bill 22 and trigger fines of $1.3 million a day for the union and $475 a day for individual teachers.

Year-end report cards will be completed to allow students to apply for scholarships and post-secondary education, Lambert said.

Lambert appeared to rule out any further work-to-rule action as students return from spring break, but she left the door open for individual districts to begin immediately withholding voluntary

extra-curricular duties such as coaching that are done outside of school hours.

“We’re a federation of autonomous locals, and yes, they will be making their own decisions,” Lambert said.

“The plan envisions a province-wide action, and that would be one that would I guess join up with the local actions that have already been started.”

Bill 22 goes beyond forcing an end to the strike that has had teachers refusing to complete report cards or meet with administrators since last September.

It reimposes restrictions on class size and special-needs support that a B.C. Supreme Court decision last year ruled were done without adequate consultation.

Lambert said that will be a focus of new legal action.

“Bill 22 addresses the judgment by repealing it in one paragraph and reinstating it in the next,” she said.

“That’s more than arrogant.”

Education Minister George Abbott returns next week from a 10-day visit to China promoting educational exchange.

He said he will appoint a mediator when he returns, to seek agreement within the terms of the government’s two-year wage freeze.

The BCTF did not release its action plan worked out during delegate meetings in Vancouver this week, but did indicate it rejects a provision of Bill 22 that could pay teachers extra if they teach classes of more than 30 students.

Lambert termed the extra pay offer “cash for kids” and called it “totally unethical.”

‘Cold-blooded’ killing shocked Canada

Who was Casimir?

Casimir was believed to have been about 28 years old in the spring of 1899.

In media reports from the time, he is most often referred to only as “Casimir” or “Casimir, an Indian.” However, references can also be found calling him “Casimir Baptiste” and “Casimir Pecheesie.”

What is apparent is he was the adopted son of Chief Louis and that he worked as a ranch hand and labourer.

Casimir was suspected in a murder in the mid-1890s, in which his hunting partner, Gerome, was found dead.

A Kamloops judge issued a warrant for Casimir in relation to the killing. When the warrant was being executed, Casimir shot and wounded the constable out to arrest him.

He served three years in jail for the shooting, but no one was ever charged in Gerome’s murder.

mingled with the crowd of witnesses.

Radcliffe was asked when the hanging would take place.

“At eight o’clock,” he replied, “and he’ll be dead at that time, too.

“I never make a mistake in my business, for I’ve got it down to a science.”

Casimir, meanwhile, was waiting in his cell with Father Lejeune, his spiritual adviser.

The condemned man had been up since

Then , the hood is pu l led down , the noose is tightened and the Lord’s Prayer is recited . On “deliver us from ev il,” the trap door s a re op ened a nd the condem ned man fa l ls.

”

T WAS JUST AFTER SEVEN o’clock on an early-summer morning in Kamloops and dozens of people had already gathered outside the imposing structure on Columbia Street.

The building was the Kamloops Provincial Gaol — located on the land occupied by the present-day Kamloops Law Courts — and the hoard of curious onlookers were there to witness the execution of the man responsible for what was described at the time as the most savage murder in B.C.’s history.

It was June 2, 1899, and the condemned man was — as official documents from the time described him — “Casimir, an Indian.”

At 7:30 a.m., jail staff swung open the door leading into the facility’s yard and the crowd of about 50 people shuffled in.

The yard was small — measuring about 60 feet by 25 feet, surrounded by a 30-foot wooden fence — and was shrunken even further by a barrier constructed by jail staff to keep observers away from the temporary scaffold, which sat at one end.

Fifteen minutes after the crowd had been let into the yard, Warden Vicars, the head of Kamloops Provincial Gaol at the time, approached the gallows and tossed a length of rope up onto the scaffold.

Hangman Radcliffe — a colourful figure who was employed by the federal government as Canada’s national executioner — then entered.

He climbed the scaffold steps and, with a guard’s help, fastened the rope to the gallows.

The hangman then hopped down off the instrument of death, crossed the barrier and

five o’clock and had refused his last meal — which would have been breakfast, given the time of day — and was in prayer with Lejeune for two hours by the time Warden Vicars came to get him for the last time.

The doors leading from the jail to the yard opened at eight o’clock and out walked Vicars — followed closely by Lejeune, Casimir and a pair of guards.

Casimir, 28, walked confidently through the yard and up the gallows steps, where he met Radcliffe and shook his hand.

The executioner tied Casimir’s limbs — his arms around the waist, his legs above the

knees — with black straps.

He then placed the condemned man in position over the trap door.

Gentlemen, I bid Radcliffe asked Casimir if he had anyyou all goodbye. thing to say, at which — Casimir’s last words point the murderer turned to the crowd and smiled.

“Gentlemen,” he said, “I bid you all goodbye.”

With that, Radcliffe placed the noose around Casimir’s neck, leaving the knot behind his left ear.

A black hood was then pulled down over his head. Radcliffe stepped back, taking one last look at the setup to make sure everything was ready to go.

It was, and he pulled the lever.

Casimir was sent falling nine feet through the trap door — and the jail yard went silent as the rope quivered ever so slightly.

Clemency denied for boarder Sad tale in Cariboo ends on gallows James A. Dale and his wife ran a boarding house in Carmi — north of Midway — and kept strict rules banning liquor, even from guests.

On Oct. 14, 1906, two men were dining at the boarding house and brought their own whiskey.

When Dale asked them not to use the liquor, they became belligerent and insulted Dale’s wife.

Dale shot both men dead.

He was convicted of capital murder at trial.

However, the jury hadn’t been provided with all the facts.

After delivering their verdict, the 12 jurors became aware of the extenuating circumstances of the offence.

All but two of them signed a petition asking for clemency, but it was denied.

Dale was executed in Kamloops on July 18, 1907.

Chun Kee Yow worked as a cook for a landowner in Bullion, B.C., a now-abandoned town south of Barkerville.

A native of China, Yow left his wife and daughter behind in his homeland to work in Canada.

Each month, Yow handed over a significant chunk of his paycheque to a man named Chu Hong, who said he was sending the money to Yow’s family in China.

About a year before the murder, Yow travelled to China to visit his family. When he arrived, he discovered

both his wife and daughter were dead — his wife having passed away due to starvation and his daughter killing herself in grief a short time later.

Yow discovered Hong had not been sending the money to China, but had been keeping it for himself. Yow stabbed Hong to death shortly after returning to Bullion in 1906. He was hanged in Kamloops on Dec. 4, 1907.

The execution came after three provincewide petitions failed to gain clemency for Yow.

Railworker set off deadly hotel dynamite blast Robbery gone haywire Francesco Ceddio was one of many Italian immigrants working in rail construction in B.C. in the early 1900s.

Employed as a rock blaster, he lived with a number of other workers at the Canada Hotel in Niagara.

On Nov. 18, 1906, a number of the hotel’s residents got rowdy and were told they were being evicted.

Later that night, the hotel was de-

molished in a dynamite blast, killing the daughter of the hotel manager.

Ceddio was on the lam for more than a year, eventually tracked down by a U.S. Marshall in Salt Lake City.

After unsuccessfully fighting extradition from the U.S., he was brought back to B.C. Ceddio was convicted at trial and, on July 31, 1908, he was executed by Hangman Radcliffe in Kamloops.

A robbery gone awry in Dog Creek left Chinese immigrant Sat Chew dead — and landed Ernest Louis and his accomplice, Basil, on the Kamloops gallows.

Louis and Basil shot Chew during a robbery at Chew’s cabin, blowing their booty on gambling tables later the same day.

They were executed in a doublehanging on July 20, 1910.

In the neverending dispute over education, all are at fault

V

OLUNTEER: NOUN 1. a person who voluntarily offers himself or herself for a service or undertaking; 2. a person who performs a service willingly and without pay.

That definition alone is proof the education system is broken in this province — and everyone is to blame.

Politicians are to blame for creating an underfunded, undersupplied system, all while floating big ideas like “the world has changed. The way we educate our children should, too.”

Teachers are to blame because they’ve continued to prop up that broken system with their own time and money.

Parents are to blame because we’ve come to not only accept that volunteering and personal cash outlay teachers are doing, we’re expecting it to happen, as if it’s all part of the job description.

Everyone knows this didn’t happen overnight, but it has brought us to this impasse that is — despite what the teachers’ union says — definitely hurting our kids.

A Kamloops Grade 1 teacher recently took most of the storybooks in her classroom home, probably in some ill-advised attempt to demonstrate her own hard-earned cash had helped stock those shelves.

The problem is, she took books the school had paid for (and she was told to return them) but, more importantly, according to her principal, she has never asked for money to add to the story collection in her classroom.

The principal said there is money

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL available; that teachers are asked to submit a “wish list” and available money is divvied up among these wants.

Teachers like her are to blame because they don’t ask — but, maybe they’ve been told no for so long they don’t feel it’s worth trying anymore.

After all, a wish list isn’t a mandatory shopping list.

Things break because upkeep isn’t paid for, money isn’t re-invested — nobody pays any attention to what’s happening until it’s too late.

Many years ago, a boss told me the mistake we were making in our little area of the newspaper, where we were putting out in excess of 200 special and niche sections a year, was that we always got the job done with the small staff we had.

He asked: How could we make the case for more staff if we always succeeded?

That’s the situation the teachers have created and perpetuated with their well-intentioned desire to ensure their classrooms have decorations for holidays and stickers and storybooks and enough supplies for biology class

projects and milled wood for woodworking — the list could go on.

But, let’s stop here and go back to that quote in the third paragraph, the grand pronouncement by the provincial government about how it’s changing how we teach our kids.

Consider technology.

How many of our kids are working on computers at school that are donated castoffs from other places running software that is several versions old?

I talked with one teacher who said his students prefer to do much of their technology-dominated work at home because their own computers are better than the ones we have in classrooms.

When it was announced earlier in the school year that report cards wouldn’t be issued with marks because of the job action, plenty of parents complained to me.

They asked: How dare they do that? How will I know how my kid’s doing in school?

Parents are to blame for the dysfunction because, if they don’t know what’s going on with their own kids, they’re not engaged, they’re not part of the system.

They’re part of the problem.

They pat their kids on the head, send them off to school — and leave it to the teachers to do that job we all know is essential for these same kids’ futures.

We’re all at fault here — and the education system won’t improve until we all step up, teachers stop propping up and government starts meaning what it says.

The resignation of BurnabyLougheed MLA Harry Bloy from the cabinet of Premier Christy Clark might be considered a minor blip in B.C. politics. From time to time, cabinet ministers do something inappropriate enough that they should resign.

In Bloy’s case, he shared an e-mail from a reporter — former KTW scribe Cassidy Olivier — with the individual whom Olivier was gathering information about. The person Bloy shared it with is a substantial donor to the B.C. Liberals.

The bigger story is that Bloy’s resignation is a microcosm of all that has gone off the rails for the party in the year since Clark became premier.

It is important to remember he was the only MLA who supported her leadership bid. Thus, he was rewarded with a cabinet post when she put together her cabinet team, which was mostly holdovers from the Gordon Campbell era.

Unfortunately, he was the cabinet minister responsible for Community Living B.C., which had done a terrible job in dealing with many of its clients, mostly adults with physical and mental challenges. Part of what went wrong was started by the Campbell government, but Bloy was not the person to clean up the mess.

Clark shuffled him off to a minor portfolio and called in Stephanie Cadieux, a new MLA, to help get to the bottom of the troubles at Community Living B.C. Thus far, there seems to be some positive progress on that front.

Now Bloy is gone from cabinet completely, and in what is rare if not unprecedented, Clark has also announced that he won’t run in the next election. One wonders if he was given a choice, and what his constituents think about the premier’s pronouncement.

Clark’s government has lurched from crisis to crisis in the past year, with very mixed results in getting to the bottom of problems.

While it has some able ministers and good ideas, the public isn’t listening any more. The majority have turned their backs on the B.C. Liberals.

It’s sad in a way, because the Campbell and Clark governments have done some good work. But this is how democracy works. It’s never pretty to watch a government self-destruct.

TALK BACK

KTW ’s series on hangings a fascinating read Editor: We were pleasantly surprised to observe some of Kamloops’ history being presented by KTW and reporter Tim Petruk in a five-part series, To Be Hanged At Kamloops, starting with your March 15 edition.

Q&A WE ASKED We are obviously interested in our city’s historical events and hope, in this small way, we can encourage Kamloops This Week to continue to cover other stories about the history of Kamloops and the surrounding area.

We are looking forward to the balance

of the To Be Hanged At Kamloops series and congratulate Petruk on his research.

It is very nice to read about something different and we hope KTW hears from other supporters of these kinds of topics.

Bob and Diane Wren Kamloops

Could Ajax mine actually increase property values?

Editor: Regarding fears of property values in Aberdeen suffering if the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine is approved: Respectfully, for anyone worried, have they considered or entertained the opposite scenario?

In the event the mine becomes a reality for the Kamloops economy, could it not equally become a reality that those residents living

nearest the mine might experience a marginal or better increase in the values of their properties?

Mine proponents have stated there is an estimated 23-year mine life, with those jobs paying in the $90,000-andabove range. It has also been stated that, initially at start-up, the mine is offering between 350 and 400 jobs.

Those new employees seeking those highpaying jobs may want

to live near the mine/ employer to save time and gas travelling to work.

If you don’t think so, ask employees who must carpool to travel from Kamloops to Logan Lake every day to enjoy the benefits of working at Highland Valley Copper.

And, yes, this is outside work with exposure to the mine’s dust, with no complaints.

I have friend who has been at Highland Valley

for 23 years with almost no complaints — and he loves those paycheques.

His only complaint — carpooling and travelling time.

Homes nearest the proposed Ajax mine would be the ideal choice for those new and well-paid employees to locate and be nearer to their employment.

Consider those living near the mine site and opposed to Ajax could, in fact, sell those homes

for top dollar.

This would also reduce the collective pollution effects of vehicles travelling longer distances to and from their place of employment, thus making it better for the environment.

In reality, those worried about a decrease in property values could, conversly, be sitting on a windfall of opportunity.

Les Evens Kamloops

Jobs vs. quality-of-life split has been well orchestrated Editor: The Ajax mine proposal has split the citizens of Kamloops into two camps: Jobs versus quality of life.

Those who advocate for the possibility of new jobs in town believe the reduction of the quality of life is worth it.

Those who prefer to retain the present quality of life believe no number of jobs is worth losing it.

That this split has been deliberately created is the most interesting feature of the debate.

Those who profit by digging up, refining and selling copper and gold do not live here.

It is in their interests to divide the citizens of Kamloops into warring camps of opinion.

This is especially true in difficult economic times, when desperation drives people to give up everything and move to where the next opportunity lies, in order to under-bid other people for a chance at a slave wage.

During the Great Southwest Railroad Strike of 1886, Jason Gould, then a member of the so-called robber-baron capitalists of the U.S., hired strikebreakers and was heard to say: “I can hire one-half of the working class to kill the other half.”

We have been manipulated into a false choice. It will be interesting to see how our elected officials respond.

BC NEWS

B.C., Ottawa agree on new RCMP contract An agreement between the provincial government and Ottawa on a new RCMP contract will result in Kamloops continuing to pay 90 per cent of policing costs.

In the new contract — a 20-year term with five-year reviews and a twoyears’ notice opt-out clause — the basic cost-sharing formulas remain the same.

B.C. municipalities with populations between 5,000 and 15,000 will continue to pay 70 per cent of their contract costs, while communities like Kamloops, with populations of more than 15,000, will continue to pay 90 per cent.

The new contract also improves the ability for municipalities to monitor and plan for costs, according to B.C. Attorney-General Shirley Bond.

In addition to clearly defined roles in contract-management discussions, Bond said, local governments will see increased financial reporting from the RCMP that will empower them to plan for costs in co-ordination with municipal planning cycles and also assess value for money.

In addition to the enhanced contract management committee, which will now include an associate local government member, the province has also established a new B.C. local government RCMP contract-management committee.

This new committee of Union of British Columbia Municipalities’ rep-

resentatives will help local governments throughout B.C. influence cost and service decisions.

“B.C. set out to

gain new management tools based on extensive consultation and input from our municipal partners,” Bond said.

“This contract gives us new management and oversight ability that will allow us to contain costs and take a more direct

role in determining what police services will look like in our province.”

Added Deputy Commissioner Craig

Callens, commanding officer of the B.C. RCMP: “The RCMP is B.C.’s police force and we remain com-

mitted to being the accountable, transparent and trusted organization British Columbians deserve.”

Boom went the city night

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Call it the sound of safety.

A loud boom heard in Kamloops on Monday night (March 19) was the result of an RCMP bomb squad destroying a backpack full of explosives found in a Victoria Street office building hours earlier.

The incident began at about 2 p.m., when an employee of a business at 444 Victoria St. called police after finding a suspicious package, according to Kamloops RCMP Staff

Sgt. Grant Learned, who said an explosives-trained police dog was then called into service.

“When the police dog demonstrated an abundance of interest in the contents of the knapsack, resources from the RCMP explosive-demolition unit in Vancouver were called to attend,” Learned said.

The bomb squad arrived in Kamloops at about 5 p.m. and was inside the Victoria Street building about 30 minutes later.

Bomb-squad members found the backpack, Learned said,

and discovered four tubes of explosive material inside.

Learned described the explosives as commercial-grade, noting there was no detonation source.

“As such, the explosive material did not pose any immediate danger or threat of detonation,” he said.

The package was removed from the building at about 6 p.m.

It was taken to the City of Kamloops public works yard on McGill Road, where it was safely detonated just before 8 p.m.

Learned said inves-

Treatment lagging in pharmaceutical research

D

ESPITE THE FACT the National Institute of Mental Health in the United States says 40 per cent of the population encounters mental illness, many pharmaceutical companies have abandoned development of new treatments and only a few firms remain in the field.

According to an article in the journal Nature, co-authored by researchers at the University of Cambridge and the

director of the National Institute of Mental Health, new approaches are needed to develop drugs that treat mental illness.

Academics and specialists all over North America agree new medications for mental illness — especially depression and schizophrenia — are seriously

lacking in research and development.

The researchers say genetics should be the frontier of new medical exploration, referring to the impact stem-cell and other research has made on medical treatments in other areas of health.

There is a belief science should look again

at the medicines pharmaceutical companies have discovered and then abandoned.

Because decades of research has proven that 75 per cent of mental disorders start before a person turns 24, there is a clear lack of approaches in mentalillness treatment that focuses on earlier intervention and prevention methods.

Another issue raised in the article is the need for non-medicinal treatment methods to be added to the benefits of prescription drugs.

For example, researchers talk about success using video games with autistic children, psychosocial treatment and even nutritional treatment in combination with medications.

In Kamloops, we have heard many comments from readers who believe we are exaggerating the number of people who have a mental illness.

This is one of the leading reasons so much prejudice and negativity remains toward those

with a diagnosed illness — no one seems willing to accept how common mental illness is.

In Canada, we often separate brain disorders (like dementias, brain injuries and so on) from mental illness and often do not count people who are addicted to alcohol, drugs or medicines as mental-health issues.

The truth is, all of these conditions (and many more) profoundly impact peoples’ mood, affect, thoughts, perception, performance and behaviour.

How can we go on pretending they are not aspects of mental illness?

When we have a simple skin rash or a tummy ache, we have no problem or bias about checking it out with our doctor or talking about it.

When something may be affecting our brain, itis taboo — and embarrassing.

If we knew the answer to the reasons for this and the way to change it, we would be a much richer and happier community.

Why Harper’s religion matters

A

S I WAS DRIVING IN KAMLOOPS ON election day last May, I couldn’t help but notice the parking lots of the two or three fundamentalist churches I passed were full of vehicles.

I thought that was bit strange for a Monday afternoon — what were all these people doing in church on a Monday?

The end of the world wasn’t being called for again, was it?

I soon realized the faithful were not attending religious services, but were busy helping to get out the vote for Conservative candidate Cathy McLeod.

That’s not a problem in and of itself but, after a little more research into the Conservative party and its ties to the evangelical Christian right in this country, I realized there was more to it than first met my eye.

There is a faction in the Conservative party made up of what can only BILL LIGERTWOOD be described as a militant Rational fringe.

THOUGHTS They call themselves Christian nationalists and their group has gained significant influence within Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s party out of all proportion to its actual numerical heft.

Not only is it helping to reshape our foreign policy in accord with its religious dogma, but it is also advancing a whole range of socially conservative policies regarded as essential to its main goal: Making Canada a distinctly Christian nation.

On the surface, the group’s rhetoric seems almost heartwarming and patriotic, but the vision of Canada it is promoting is non-pluralistic, retrograde and exclusionary.

These Christian nationalists and the Conservative party into which they have injected themselves seem to be determined to keep the connection secret.

That’s not so surprising when the driving force of the movement’s adherents is examined.

They believe the so-called end times supposedly foretold in the Bible is at hand.

They believe Canada must assume a unique, scripturally ordained role in these final days.

This is why we have seen Canadian foreign policy embracing the most hawkish and expansionist forces in Israel at the expense of a meaningful, Middle East peace process.

These Christian fundamentalists are convinced their cherished end times will only materialize after the Jewish homeland is restored to its old testament might so that the battle of Armageddon can take place and the rapture can occur.

A real commitment to peace in this troubled region

is impossible when such people try to impose their arcane religious worldview on to real world politics.

Here in Canada, much to the delight of powerful oil and resource corporations, these religious extremists believe man was given dominion over the natural environment.

Pipelines through sensitive ecosystems, unabated tar-sands extraction and open-pit mines within city boundaries are all much easier to promote if there’s a biblical green light.

And, of course, the complete and utter denial of climate change while muzzling any scientists who disagree — which happens to be 95 per cent of them.

Closing weather stations that monitor these changes has also been undertaken.

Science in general is not welcome in Ottawa these days.

After all, we have a minister of science and technology who thinks Earth is less than 10,000 years old — and denies evolution.

Harper has always been careful to keep his religious convictions out of the public eye while, in the background, assuring these Christian fanatics he is with them and currying their support in a range of initiatives.

His withdrawal of significant funding from the national Status of Women committee was an obvious gesture to the anti-feminist members of this group.

His creation of a new Office of Religious Freedom appears to be nothing more than religious proselytizing around the globe.

Many of his public-service appointments also reflect his pandering to Christian fundamentalism.

Did you ever wonder what happened to Preston Manning, former leader of the Reform party and committed Christian fundamentalist?

He is now the director of the Centre for Building Democracy, paid for by you and dedicated to ensuring a greater role for Christians in government.

Douglas Cryer, the former director of public policy for the Evangelical Fellowship, was appointed to the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board.

When Harper named the first panel on reproductive technology and, much to the consternation of many in the medical community, there was not a single expert on fertility or stem-cell research — instead, half the panel was avowed anti-choice advocates.

If you would like to research the issue further, I recommend The Armageddon Factor by investigative journalist Marci McDonald. It’s an interesting and cautionary read.

Bill Ligertwood is director of the Kamloops Centre for Rational Thought, a Canadian Centre for Inquiry affiliate.

In recognition of Canada Water Week, the provincial government, through Environment Minister Terry Lake, is offering these conservation tips: • Choose water-efficient WaterSense-labelled appliances, such as washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, irrigation systems, taps and toilets.

• Installing a low-flow showerhead can save the average family up to 20,000 litres of water a year, as well as money on water-heating bills.

• Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth, wash or shave.

• Water gardens in the early morning or evening as evaporation is less likely during these times.

• Run your dishwasher when it’s full and scrape dirty dishes instead of pre-rinsing them.

• Fix drips and leaks promptly. Even a small leak can add up to thousands of litres of wasted water per month.

The Tk’emlúps Indian Band’s legal department, the RCMP and School District 73 hosted a successful workshop at the Henry Grube Centre recently, targeting aboriginal youth in grades 8 to 11.

The aim of the conference was to help create awareness about aboriginal gangs and violence and to put an end to the cycle of dangerous behaviour before it begins.

Special guest presenter and facilitator was First Nations rapper and former gang affiliate Shawn Bernard, also known as Feenix.

Bernard spoke candidly about his life story and how he was able to change his dangerous lifestyle and overcome a difficult upbringing, proving anything really is possible. “This is an important issue. I have a lot of friends and cousins that are still in gangs and I am not here to bash anybody,� Bernard said. “I just tell my story about what happened to me and how I was able to change my lifestyle and all the positive things that have now happened and will hopefully continue to happen.�

Bernard’s story focused on living the gang lifestyle, dealing drugs and spending time in jail before giving everything up and starting a new and healthy journey as a successful rapper.

TIB Chief Shane Gottfriedson was also a speaker at the conference. “Education is the most important key to your future and the future generations,� he said. “You are all role models, whether you think so or not, just by being here and going to school. You are role models. “Each and every one of you in this room is important — always remember that you are important.�

More than 40 First Nations students from across the district were in attendance at the event, which included Bernard giving a performance.

Working groups concentrated on a number of important topics aimed at helping youth to make positive choices in their lives, while also teaching students about culture, education, decision making and the law.

The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul.

He guides me along the right paths for His name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.”

The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

MORTGAGE MATTERS Credit Score and Home Buying Part I Does living a debt-free lifestyle make you the best candidate for a mortgage?

You manage your money well and you purchase only what you can pay cash for. You have no credit cards or loans of any kind! You must be what every lender dreams of when it comes to obtaining a mortgage, right?

Well, not so fast… Let’s take a look at one of the key aspects of lending: your credit score.

When applying for a mortgage, your credit score weighs heavily when it comes to the mortgage rates you will be offered, the lenders who will work with you or whether you will be denied in your search for a loan. In essence, it can make or break your mortgage application. By definition, a credit score is simply a measure of your proven habits of repaying debt. For that reason, you must repay something to have a positive score, like credit card payments, car payments and small bank loans to name a few. People who do not have or use credit cards and insist on paying cash for everything are often surprised when they are refused for a mortgage because they believe their habit of paying cash should reflect “good credit”. Credit scores are rated on a point system, ranging from 0 (no credit), to a maximum of 900 (perfect credit), with the general minimum credit needed for a mortgage sitting at around 600 points. A person who pays cash for all things will likely have a 0 credit score because they have zero history of repaying debt.

So what does this mean to a first time homebuyer? Do your credit card repayment patterns reveal good things about you? As a rule of thumb, a person should use two credit cards regularly and pay them off each month to build a positive credit score. A repayment for a bill as little as $10 will build your score and produce a proven habit of repaying debt.

There are two major credit score suppliers in Canada: Equifax and Transunion. Each has a credit education center for those who would like to do further reading: www.equifax.com/home/en ca • www.transunion.ca Equifax offers a free mailed copy of your credit report at www.equifax.com/contact_us/en_ca.

Both these links are found under resources on my website www.mortgagebuilder.ca.

Look for Mortgage Matters “Credit Score and Home Buying Part II” when I will examine several factors that lower credit score and boost credit score for those looking to maximize their score prior to a home purchase.

Chris Seto of the Cloverdale Colts fires one by Kamloops Jardine’s Blazer netminder Josh Shank in bantam tier 1 provincial championship hockey action on Tuesday, March 20, at McArthur Island Sports Centre.

Cloverdale beat Kamloops 8-2. The Blazers were 1-2 heading into Wednesday’s (March 21) game against Kelowna. Victoria and Kamloops square off at 2 p.m. today (March 22) in the final round-robin matchup.

Hunch expects rough-and-tumble series

By Marty Hastings SPORTS REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

HE KAMLOOPS BLAZERS have been a marked team for much of the 2011-2012 WHL campaign, and that is not likely to change in the post-season.

“Every team that we play has a mandate to try and be physical with us,” Blazers’ associate coach Dave Hunchak said.

“We know [the Victoria Royals] are going to be extremely physical and try and pound us and that’s been the case for the past three months.”

Kamloops is hosting Game 1 of a best-of-seven Western Conference quarterfinal series with the Royals on Friday, March 23, at Interior

Savings Centre.

Puck-drop is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Royals’ head coach Marc Habscheid was mum on his team’s game plan in an interview with the Victoria News this week.

“We’ve identified some things, but we don’t want to share that,” Habscheid said.

“We go over video, it’s been the routine (this week), to break (Kamloops’) game down and try to back it up with what we do in practice each day.”

If an in-your-face approach to the series is the Royals’ modus operandi, Hunchak said the Blazers will be ready.

“I expect Victoria to try and grind us down and we expect our guys to push right back,” he said.

Kamloops can

expect a boisterous crowd at ISC and, when the series moves to Victoria on Tuesday, March 27, Save-On Foods Memorial Centre will be rocking.

“Here, we want it loud and we want it proud,” Hunchak said.

“When we get there, we want it as quiet as possible, and we’re the ones that can dictate that.”

Hunchak said shutting the Royals’ main scoring threats down will be a primary focus for the Blazers.

Keeping Jamie Crooks, Logan Nelson, Steven Hodges and Robin Soudek in check will fall on the shoulders of a Blazer D-core anchored this season

by Austin Madaisky and Tyler Hansen.

Centre Brandon Magee, who registered 47 points for

the Royals in regularseason play, is injured and will likely miss the first round.

Soudek, who was fourth in team scoring, is doubtful due to injury for Friday’s game, as is defenceman Zach Habscheid.

Hunchak is more concerned with the way his team plays, though, than the Royals’ infirmary or anything Habscheid has up his sleeve.

“It’s no disrespect to Victoria, but we feel we need to worry about ourselves and how we’re going to play the game,” he said.

“The focus has to be on ourselves.”

GRABER ON FIRE

Spring Cleaning Street Sweeping Notice Starting in March, weather permitting, City crews will begin spring sweeping of streets in the valley bottom and working into the higher elevations throughout the City. The Spring Sweeping program on average requires 6 to 8 weeks to complete.

In an effort to reduce sweeping time and costs, signs will be posted in the areas that are being swept advising the public not to park on the street. Some high density areas will have parking restrictions posted and/or notices delivered in advance of sweeping, for example, downtown east.

Residents who wish to sweep the area in front of their property are advised to remove the pile of sand accumulated as these piles can damage a sweeper, and operators are instructed to swerve around such piles.

Your co-operation is appreciated. Inquiries can be made by calling 250-828-3461.

Classics head east for Western training camp

BLAZING GOLDEN TRAIL

An under-13 boys Kamloops Blaze team consisting of tier 1 and tier 2 players won the silver division at the South Burnaby Metro Club Soccer Tournament on the weekend.

Kamloops posted a 2-1 record at the tournament. Submitted photo

Montreal, at last glance, is still in Eastern Canada.

Grade 8 students Colin Gilbert and Megan Dalke, both 13-yearold Kamloops Classics swimmers, learned that in elementary school.

It might not seem natural, then, that the Prospects West Training Camp (PWTC), a gathering of the best young swimmers in the West, is being held in La Belle Province next week.

Montreal, however, is also hosting the Olympic Trials next week, making the event’s location ideal, according to Brad Dalke, the Classics’ head coach, who will also attend the training camp.

“They wanted to tie everything in with Olympic trials so that the kids get this kind of focus and it highlights what everybody is working toward,” he said.

“A lot of the kids that you see at the Olympic trials competing are former Prospects West team members.”

Gilbert and the Dalkes (Brad is Megan’s father) are part of Team B.C., which will compete against Alberta and a combined SaskatchewanManitoba team on Thursday, March 29, and Friday, March, 30, after the training camp sessions — to be held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning — are over.

Gilbert qualified for the team by swimming the 1,500-metre freestyle in 17:05.03 at the provincial AAA swimming championships, which were held in Surrey earlier this month.

Dalke swam the 800-metre freestyle in 9:16.01 at the same event to earn a spot at the PWTC. The Kamloops swimmers’ times were ranked on an International Swimming Federation points scale.

“It’s a mathematical formula rated on swim times,” the Classics’ coach said.

“One thousand points would basically be a world-record swim.”

Dalke’s swim at provincials hit 661 points on the points scale, while Gilbert chimed in at 575.

Both swimmers said watching the Olympic trials is what excites them most about going to Montreal.

“People train for four years and you’ve got one chance,” said Gilbert, a Westsyde secondary student.

The Classics’ head coach’s daughter would be delighted to one day be in a position to swim for her country.

“It’s just exciting to watch the trials and there’s people there that I look up to,” said Dalke, who attends Sa-Hali secondary.

“I’d like to make the Olympics. I want make the Olympics.”

Annamay Pierse, Julia Wilkinson, Brian Johns and Scott Dickens will be competing at Olympic Trials.

They are among the swimmers Dalke and the Classics look up to because they have hosted Future Stars clinics at the Canada Games Pool inside the Tournament Capital Centre.

The camp will give the Classics’ swimmers a chance to see how they stack up with Western

Canada’s best, an opportunity they plan to relish.

“It will be fun to race them because they’re the same speed as you,” Dalke said.

“It’s better competition.”

It will also allow

them to expand their cultural horizons and have fun in the process.

“You’ve got to remember, as much as they’re accomplished swimmers, they’re only 13 years old,” coach Dalke said.

Harper a baseball phenom

H

E HASN’T played a single game in the big leagues yet, but Bryce Harper may already be more of a household name than 80 per cent of Major League Baseball players.

If he’s not a household name where you happen to live, just wait.

Harper won’t be 20 until this October and has been on the national sports radar since about the age of 14.

He made the cover of Sports Illustrated when he was a 17-yearold high school phenom in Las Vegas and added to the myth when he hit the longest home run in the history of Tropicana Field, home of the Rays, during a showcase for high school stars.

His power is legendary: Besides the Tropicana blast, he also belted a 570-foot home run in high school that had every pro scout salivating at the mere thought of picking him in the amateur draft.

Ultimately, that stroke of luck went to the Washington Nationals, who chose Harper in 2010, one year after having the good fortune of picking the consensus best pitcher in decades, Stephen Strasburg.

If both Strasburg and Harper live up to their press clippings, the Nationals could bring more attention to Washington than Barack Obama going out to the street for the morning paper in his underwear.

Harper was a catcher through high school, but his power and speed (he mythically scored regularly from second base on wild pitches) persuaded the Nationals to turn him into an outfielder to save wear and tear on his multimillion-dollar body.

You’ll almost certainly be hearing plenty about Harper this summer, even though he will start the season with Triple A Syracuse, but one of the reasons he’ll be so well known is that he has already developed a reputation

BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW of being . . . well, a bit of a jerk.

In fact, Gentleman’s Quarterly magazine recently featured Harper and focused on his cockiness, calling him “the LeBron of baseball.”

That translates to the “Sean Avery of hockey.”

In the minors last year, he reportedly blew a kiss to the pitcher while jogging around the bases following a home run.

He’ll be the type of player hometown fans love and opposition fans despise.

Love him or hate him, the people in your household, if you follow baseball, will probably have an opinion on Harper before too long.

“QUOTE, UNQUOTE” • So why did Tiger Woods withdraw from the Cadillac Championship at Doral a couple of weeks ago?

Said one Twitter cynic, who doubted Woods’s story of a strained Achilles: ”He was a lot closer to the parking lot than the lead.”

• Comedy writer

Jim Barach: “The Washington Nationals will be selling an eightpound “Strasburger” named after pitcher Stephen Strasburg.

In a related story, the Yankees are thinking of naming their overpriced hot dogs after Alex Rodriguez.”

• R.J. Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Fivetime Canadian curling champ Colleen Jones has un-retired to try to get into the Olympic trials, where four-time champ Jennifer Jones already has a berth. In a related story, it just got harder to keep up with the Joneses.”

• Headline at Fark. com: “49ers sign Randy Moss; organization begins treatments for clubhouse cancer.”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald: “In tennis, Agnieszka Radwanska defeated Akgul Amanmuradova in the inaugural Spell Check Classic.”

• Roger Bannister, 82, to AP, putting his breakthrough 1954 feat in perspective: “It’s amazing that more people have climbed Mount Everest than have broken the fourminute mile.”

• Headline at TheOnion.com: “Recent 6-Game Losing Streak Shows Jeremy Lin Finally Starting To Mesh With Knicks.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Prized free-agent QB Peyton Manning and the Tennessee Titans

huddled for eight hours in Nashville on Wednesday. It would’ve been three, but he kept changing his menu order when they broke for lunch.”

• Another one from Perry: “Randall McDaniel, who plowed his way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a 6-foot-3, 287pound guard for the Minnesota Vikings, is now an elementaryschool teacher in Minnetrista, Minn.

Classroom discipline, we assume, is not a problem.”

• Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “Harvard was in the NCAA tournament, but UCLA was not. That is like a hot dog eating contest where Joey Chestnut is replaced by Ashley Olsen.”

• Two more Kaseberg quips, on Harvard making it into the NCAA tourney: — “Harvard calls March Madness ‘Spring-induced competitive-related temporary psychosis.’ “ — “Not to say there is a discrepency between the educations of Harvard and the other teams in the NCAA tournament, but many of the teams could not spell NCAA. When asked how they did on their SAT scores, the other teams besides Harvard said: “We don’t play in that conference.”

Unit can help victims of abuse The following is part of a series of informational articles aimed at increasing public awareness about the services provided by the Kamloops Victim Services Unit.

Relationships are a part of our everyday lives and, while most are fulfilling and provide us with love, security and a sense of well being, that is not always the case.

A relationship can become violent — and dangerous.

Violence in relationships is not specific to any age group, economic background, race or social status.

As well, the roles of abuser and victim are not gender-specific.

Men may commit violence against women, women against men or partners in same-sex relationships against each other.

An abusive relationship is all about power and control by one partner over the other.

The abuse can be physical, emotional or sexual and it is not unusual for more than one form of abuse to be present.

Physical abuse refers to any unwanted physical contact such

as hitting, spitting, grabbing, pinching, choking and biting.

While the abuse may leave evidence like scrapes or bruises, that is not always the case.

Emotional abuse refers to non-physical contact where the abuser exercises control over their partner in the form of putdowns, name calling, yelling, threatening gestures or verbal threats against the partner and/or partner’s family.

The abusive partner may also try to limit the victim’s contact with other people.

Sexual abuse is difficult for anyone not in the relationship to detect.

Sexual abuse refers to any unwanted sexual activity.

The victim is treated as a sex object by the abuser and is often left feeling violated, guilty, angry or humiliated.

Violence in relationships is cyclical.

Tension between partners slowly builds to the point where things explode.

After an assault, the abuser shows remorse, apologizes, offer gifts and promises the assault will never

happen again.

As the relationship progresses, so does the severity and frequency of the assaults.

According to Statistics Canada, 85 per cent of victims are women who are being abused by men.

In Kamloops, there were 758 complaints of violence in relationships in 2011.

If you are in a violent relationship, or if you would like further information on violence in relationships, call the Victim Services Unit at 250-828-3223 or

visit it at the RCMP Detachment, 560 Battle Street.

The unit offers a variety of information and services, at no cost, to any victim or witness of crime or trauma.

All unit members have received specialized comprehensive training in victims’ issues, the criminaljustice system and crisis-intervention techniques.

Coming face to face with Ubuntu Message in play is that we may all be different but we’re all connected

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

HERE ARE DAYS WHEN MBULELO GROOTBOOM DOESN’T WANT TO PERFORM IN UBUNTU (THE CAPE TOWN PROJECT).

“Sometimes I say I’m not going to do another Ubuntu — but, when I think about it, I have to do it again,” the South African actor said.

There’s a reason why the play’s co-creator always returns to it.

The play’s theme is universal.

“I might come from South Africa, another part of the world, but there is something similar that we connect together,” he said of the play that opens at Western Canada Theatre on Thursday, March 29.

Directed by its co-creator, Daryl Cloran — also WCT’s artistic director — Ubuntu tells two generational tales that overlap.

The play’s theme is implied in its name — ubuntu is a South African word that refers to the belief humanity is all linked together.

The essence of the plot is the story of a man and woman haunted by ghosts of their pasts and drawn together — but it is so much more.

“This is such a special piece,” said Stacie Steadman, who co-stars in the production.

“It’s about how we’re connected.

“It’s really a love story about people and about family.”

Tracey Power and Mbulelo Grootman co-star in Ubuntu (The Cape Town Project), which premieres at Sagebrush Theatre on March 29. The play was created by Grootman and WCT artistic director Daryl Cloran.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT MacIntyre and The Bishop’s Man CBC reporter Linden MacIntyre of The Fifth Estate will give a presentation at Thompson Rivers University on Monday, April 2, at 10:30 a.m.

MacIntyre will talk about how he wrote his award-winning book The Bishop’s Man, a story inspired by his coverage of sexual abuse in Nova Scotia and the lasting impact it had.

The novel tells the story of a Catholic priest who is, in essence, a troubleshooter for his church on Cape Breton Island — and the troubles include some of his own that return to haunt him.

The presentation is free and open to the public. It will be held in the Irving K. Barber Centres.

Advertorial

Canadian “Superfood” Gaining International Attention Creator of UMAC Core™

Still Def ying The Odds UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellfish at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional profile, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain.

Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was inexplicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health.

Six years later, Tom Harper is healthy and, in his words, “feeling totally different. I’m pain free and I’m leading a good, healthy, normal life.” Not long after the product was officially launched in Canada and the U.S.A., the University of Utah completed a randomized full double-blind placebo-control pilot study of UMAC-CORE over a 90 day period with human subjects. Doctors who conducted the studies were impressed with the results and concluded that UMAC-CORE really does help enhance the immune system and support mood fluctuations, quality of sleep, and overall emotional well-being.

UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more attention than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand. There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the product out, and they often did!”

Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 health food stores across Canada, in stores all across the United States and overseas in Australia, New Zealand and Spain. Following the interest and countless testimonials from the public, UMAC-CORE has been written about in dozens of newspapers across North America – and the excitement continues to grow.

Tom Harper—Creator of UMAC Core™ Marine Phytoplankton carefully inspects a sample of newly grown wild Phytoplankton at his Sea farm on Vancouver Island, BC Kim Iles of Choices 4 Wellness – a Retailer in Chatham Ontario says, “I recommend UMAC-CORE to everybody – it’s one of the top two products in our whole store and that’s because people see results! I tell people that if they needed to pick only one thing, then pick UMAC-CORE. It has all the vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It’s a complete food and does so many different things in the body that it’s probably the most complete supplement to recommend.”

Also, once the majority of plankton is harvested, the remaining plankton nutrients are returned back to the ocean – 3 to 5 times more than what was originally “borrowed” to commence the bloom cycle; helping to strengthen the base of the ocean’s food chain.

People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s efficacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works – if you can see results with animals – and we do.”

UMAC Core is available in Liquid and Capsule formulations. For information call Hedley Enterprises at 1-888-292-5660 or to locate a Retailer near you go on-line to: www.umaclife.com

Extraordinary benefits have already been discovered with a product that has only been available for 5 years, with new clinical trials presently underway!

Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I consider it one on the greenest companies in the world. Not only are we able to give back to human beings, we are also giving back to the planet.”

Unique Sea Farms’ only by-product is pure oxygen! Marine Phytoplankton consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen back into theatmosphere as it blooms in the one million litre outdoor open tanks.

Ubuntu: We’re all connected X From B1

Wanted: Lousy writing “It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents — except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.”

— Edward George BulwerLytton, Paul Clifford (1830) The British writer and politician Edward George Bulwer-Lytton is known in literary fields for many things — not the least of which is the sentence above that sparked the worstsentence contest that bears his name.

Bulwer-Lytton — yes, the town is named for him because of his political role as his country’s secretary of state for the colonies — is also the man who created such cliches as “the great unwashed,” “the pen is mightier than the sword” and “pursuit of the almight dollar.”

The camel died quite suddenly on the second day, and Selena fretted sulkily and, buffing her already impeccable nails — not for the first time since the journey began — pondered snidely if this would dissolve into a vignette of minor inconveniences like all the other holidays spent with Basil.

— Gail Cain, who won the San Francisco version of the contest in 1983.

The Thompson Nicola Regional District is holding its annual BulwerLytton Bad Fiction Writing Contest, looking for some of the worst writing possible.

It’s open to any age 13 and older, people can enter as often as they want, submissions must be one sentence, no longer than 60 words and contain no profanity.

The lovely woman-child Kaa was mercilessly chained to the cruel post of the warrior-chief Beast, with his barbarous tribe now stacking wood at her nubile feet, when the strong, clear voice of the poetic and heroic Handsomas roared, “Flick your Bic, crisp that chick, and you’ll feel my steel through your last meal.”

— Steven Garman, who won the Pensacola version in 1984.

The international contest is sponsored by the English department at San Jose State University (bulwerlytton.com), where it’s winner receives — in the spirit of Bulwer-Lytton — a “pittance” prize of $250.

The TNRD winner will receive a prize basket.

The countdown had stalled at T minus 69 seconds when Desiree, the first female ape to go up in space, winked at me slyly and pouted her thick, rubbery lips unmistakably — the first of many such advances during what would prove to be the longest, and most memorable, space voyage of my career.

— Martha Simpson, winner in the Connecticut version in 1985.

Submissions can be taken to any library branch or emailed to contests@tnrdlib.ca. They must include name, address and phone number.

Deadline is 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 15 and the winner will be announced on Monday, April 30.

The genesis of Ubuntu occurred in 2004, when Cloran travelled to South Africa with the goal of working with actors there.

By 2005, Cloran was back with actors to work with Baxter Theatre Centre to create the production.

In 2009, Ubuntu had its world premiere in Toronto — and Steadman was in line to see it.

“It’s not often, as a new play, that you get to see it before you’re in it,” she said, “but I had heard great things about it from my friend Michelle Monteith [one of the original cast members].

“To be in it now, I’m really proud of it,” Steadman said.

“It is so powerful, such a special piece.”

For Grootboom, the fact the cast is both black and white is relevant, but only in the way that “it shows us how to embrace our differences because that’s what makes us

who we are.

“The bottom line is we are all human beings.”

Both actors know the play isn’t as readily accessible as some works but, they see it as having mass appeal because of the universality of the message.

They’re realistic about the challenge their artistic community faces, “when it’s so easy to just stay at home and watch TV,” Steadman said.

Grootboom expected that reaction when Ubuntu was performed in his home country, largely because much theatre focused on the country’s political history or sport.

South African theatre has often been used to deep debates going on social change, Grootboom said.

“So, after it was over, people were coming out and saying, ‘Whew, that felt good because it wasn’t about racism but about how we’re all connected’.

“It’s a refreshing play. You can read between the lines and make up your own mind.”

Grootboom said his goal has always been to keep his character light “until we reach that moment . . .”

Steadman interrupted.

“Don’t ruin it,” she admonished him.

“Let people find out.”

This is the first time either has performed with WCT. Steadman said she’s delighted not only because of the opportunity but because the theatrical community in Vancouver is dealing with the repercussions of the closing of the Vancouver Playhouse.

Many people are losing their jobs and some productions, like Bard on the Beach — which has depended on the Playhouse craft department for sets — are scrambling.

WCT is providing “a bit of a safe haven,” she said.

WCT is “a place where artists from all over Canada can come and it is very special.”

Steadman also had praise for Cloran, saying Kamloops is lucky to have him.

Cloran was hired in the summer of 2010 after then-artistic director Jeremy Tow died.

“He has such amazing vision,” Steadman said of Cloran.

“It was sad for Toronto when he and Holly [Cloran’s actor wife] decided to leave and come to Kamloops.”

TRAVEL

Discover view of Hawaii that’s not for the timid But, there’s no need to venture further.

From our resting platform in front of these incisors, I have the perfect view.

Undisturbed, untouched, untarnished.

Kilauea Caverns — a setting that only a goddess could create — and, without a single spider around!

By Jane Cassie SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

A

S A CHILD, I WAS AFRAID OF THE

DARK. Confined spaces didn’t thrill me either.

Now, 50-something years later, as I peer into the jet-black cave, these feelings well up again.

“Don’t worry,” Brent reassures me.

“Tiny crickets are the only things living in these caverns. And they’re gobbled up by blind spiders.”

I inch closer to my husband’s heels, wondering what else they like for dinner.

Clearly, my arachnophobia is still an issue too.

We’re at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, a 333,000-acre magma-magnet, where Thurston Lava Tube burrows beneath the ground.

As well as being a scaredy-cat starter, this first of our three gopher-like trenches provides a lesson in lava geology 101.

“Lava tubes are like veins,” the guide explains.

“They transport rivers of molten magma away from the volcanic heart.”

He continues to elaborate — how the outer crusts of a tube cool, harden and eventually form a roof.

“And, this is what remains,” he says, with an outstretched arm, as if unveiling this cavern for the first time.

One glance into the 500-year-old interiors and it’s easy to see — he’s way too late for this debut.

The well-trodden path is even easy on our flip flops and we can ditch the hard hats and flashlights.

Electrically charged wall sconces highlight the tunnel and cast a warm glow over every magmamade drip, swirl and hue.

If you go:

Tourists wander through the Thurston Lava Tube in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Brent Cassie photo

Our second undergrounder, Kaumana Cave, is a little newer and a lot less travelled.

The 25-mile tube, meandering beneath Hilo’s hills, was created from a Maunaloa flow back in 1881.

Thankfully, the diligent prayers of Princess Ruth Ke`elikolani paid off.

Word has it she begged Volcano Goddess Pele to stop the fiery flow and save her city.

But, from our stairway perch, I get the jitters.

The two black cave openings, lashed by dangling Ohia vines, look more like haunting eyes.

And they seem to be glaring my way.

“Chill out,” Brent says, while handing me a flashlight.

“That’s just a welcoming wink.”

Although not convinced, I follow his lead and, over the next hour, while scooting over lava

ruins and squeezing through hobbit-size crevices, I’m totally taken by what these two eyeballs have to offer.

Feeling cave confident, we go for the grand grotto.

Kilauea Caverns of Fire, located in Kurtistown, is ironically owned by Curtis Hill and his wife, Stephanie.

Since purchasing the business in 2005, they have transformed it into a top-notch tour.

It comes as no surprise.

Curtis has always been a bit of a firebug.

After putting out flames for 31 years with a California fire department, he’s now showing off lava after-effects.

And, he has lots of underground work to cover.

Billed as the longest lava tube in the world, Kilauea Caverns boasts 55 walkable miles, some

of which hole beneath this couple’s six acres.

“Are you game for adventure?” Brent says with a smirk, when reading about the three-hour tour.

Protective gloves and knee pads are required for navigating its 40-foot-high ladders, mountains of rubble and sliver-thin openings.

“Not there quite yet, honey,” I respond, while signing up for the shorter one that a kindergartener can muster.

With hard hats secured and spot lights focused, we once again venture to the lava land downunder — beyond the vine-draped portal and into Pele’s palace.

“This cavern was created hundreds of years ago,” Curtis says excitedly, after leading us over a crunchy footpath and into the coal-black hollow.

“And, at 2,000 degrees F, it left lots

of shapes in its wake.”

Even in the dim glow his expressive eyes come alive and, after mounting two higher-powered flood lamps on a crest of craggy rubble we can see why.

The illumination highlights suspended stalactites, uprooted stalagmites and flow stone of every colour.

Fiery reds, burnt ochre, flaming copper all meld together like Mother Earth’s rainbow.

Razor-sharp a’a and smooth swirling pahaehoe, (two lava forms) have created other attractions: A smooth, thick slab that looks like Mick Jagger’s tongue, daggers that could pose as a nasty bed of nails and contraction cracks that are textured like yummy dark chocolate.

A slender channel leads to the next dazzling den but in order to navigate it, we’d need to do the lava limbo.

Shark-like teeth jutting out of its upper crust are also a big deterrent.

A new resource is available to B.C. parents and caregivers of children to help educate and prevent serious burn injuries before they occur.

Burns are one of the leading causes of injury for children under the age of five.

Each year, B.C. Children’s Hospital may care for as many as 130 young children with burns.

Scalds from hot liquids, hot tap water and hot surfaces are the most common causes of burns for young children — not fire, as most parents may believe.

More than 90 per cent of these injuries are considered preventable as the majority take place in the home — in the kitchen, bathroom, or family room with a fireplace — where safeguarding measures can be taken. “A child’s skin is four times thinner than an adult’s,� said Dr. Cindy Verchere, director of the B.C. Children’s Burn Unit. “Heat moves very quickly to the lower layers and can cause significant damage in a matter of seconds.�

The majority of burns result from children pulling on a cord or reaching for something on a countertop and accidentally spilling hot liquid on their face, chest or arms; or playing in a bathtub alone and accidentally adding scalding hot water from the tap; or touching hot surfaces such as fireplaces or oven doors.

The new program includes: • A 17-minute educational DVD that includes burn-prevention tips and personal stories from parents with a child who has experienced a burn. • A brochure that includes a handy temperature card, which enables parents to check the temperature

FAITH

Three demands and two philosophies of life

O

ne the most spiritually sensitive analyses of the condition of Christian faith jolted me.

The speaker is cutting but well-meaning in disturbing his listeners: “Millions of Christians live in a sentimental haze of vague piety, with soft organ music, trembling in the lovely light from stained glass windows.

“Their religion is a thing of pleasant emotional quivers, divorced from the real, divorced from the intellect, and demanding little except lip-service to a few harmless platitudes.

He went on to say: “I suspect that Satan has called off the attempt to convert people to agnosticism. If a person travels far enough away from Christianity he is

NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH always in danger of seeing it in perspective and deciding that it is true.

“It is much safer, from Satan’s point of view, to vaccinate a man with a mild dose of religion, so as to protect him from the real thing.”

The keenness of that analysis is tragic.

In Matthew 16:2427, we have in succinct form the demands of the Lord of those who are His children.

He speaks forthrightly that if we are to go

after Him – to use His language, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”

This passage is moving. There are two little words, one of which occurs three times, which lead us into the movement of the passage and prepare us to understand what our Lord says.

The first is “then” — “then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after me…”

“Then” points to a precise occurrence that sets the stage in a particular circumstance.

There was something in the environment of that particular time that elicited from our Lord this particular teaching.

Having articulated the principle, He followed that call by three

reasons why we should obey that call.

Each is introduced by the little word “for.”

When did Jesus set the context? Soon after the confession of Peter, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” How that must have thrilled the heart of Jesus, as Peter as the spokesman for the rest, enunciated so perfectly the identity of the Lord.

Now, the disciples were ready for the next lesson.

That is the way God always works; when we learn one lesson, He will teach us the next.

Having made them understand the first lesson, who He was, He proceeded to tell them why He had come (v.

21).

It was on one of these occasions when He was speaking in this vein that Peter took Him

and began to rebuke the Lord.

It was then that the Lord turned to Peter and, in words of excoriation, told him: Get behind me, Satan.”

Basically, there are only two philosophies of life.

Of course, there are many more, but they are variants of the two.

These two are clearly presented in this passage.

One of them is in the words of Peter, a literal translation of which can read: “Pity Yourself, Lord! This shall never happen to You.” Multitudes are living with that as the philosophy of their lives.

Anything that would cause hardship, heartache, difficulty or inconvenience — away with them.

Live for the things of time and sense, and find

comfort. Discover that which is pleasing to the flesh.

But, for the Christian, the source of that philosophy is settled and made clear by the Son of God. He says that has the smell of the sulphurous flames of hell.

That is Satan’s philosophy.

The other philosophy is in the language of Jesus: “Deny thyself.”

There, we have the two possibilities: Pity yourself or deny yourself.

Only the second is Christian.

It is time that we faced the fact Christian life is no picnic.

Jesus never deceived His followers into thinking Christian life would be easy.

Invariably, He pointed out the hardships, the difficulties that we

would encounter if we would follow Him. Deny yourself. Take up your cross. Follow me. Say “no” to yourself. Yield yourself to the will of God. Say “yes” to God so that even though it means saying “no” to the fondest ambition that we have and the choicest desire that we yearn for, and even the legitimate desires that we cherish, we are God’s disciples.

If we only knew what the Lord wants to give us! I have never found a saint of God all out for Him who has been sorry that he has gone all out for God. The only way truly to live is to deny yourself, to take up your cross and to follow Him. Narayan Mitra is a chaplain at Thompson Rivers University.

Rebecca’s speech was It Makes Sense To Protect Your Brain When Horseback Riding, while Clair’s speech was A Year On The Ranch.

At districts in Kamloops on March 3, Rebecca finished second in the senior

Less stress on Bones

SPORTS REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Craig Bonner was under intense pressure last season.

He likely aged a few years.

The 2011-2012 WHL campaign, however, might double as a fountain of youth.

“Last year was a stressful year,” the Kamloops Blazers’ general manager said.

“No one likes to underachieve.”

The Blazers’ five-year plan became infamous last season when, in Year 3, Kamloops missed the playoffs for the second time in franchise history.

There must have been times when Bonner questioned himself and the decisions he and his staff had made.

“Do you doubt some of the things you do?” Bonner asked rhetorically.

“I think you’re always questioning and you always want to make your team better.”

It really has been a tale of two seasons for the Blazers, and the team has done a complete 180-degree turn-

around since falling short of the playoffs last March.

There are plenty of reasons for the about-face — the addition of associate coach Dave Hunchak, the emergence of goaltender Cole Cheveldave, the play of European Tim Bozon and linemates Colin Smith and JC Lipon, and addition by subtraction with a couple of mid-season trades, to name a few.

Bonner said all of those reasons have contributed to the team’s regular-season success.

He also said patience has been key.

“We had trust in our players,” he said.

“Last year, we had a bit of a step back, but we’ve gone further forward this year than we thought we would have.”

The success of this team will be defined in the playoffs, but a B.C. Division title has brought hope for a bright future to a team in a town desperate for success.

Bonner’s mental health has received a boost, too.

“The stress level has definitely been a lot lower than it was last year,” he said.

Blazers’ deal with Hitmen in 2010 bearing fruit two years later

By Marty Hastings SPORTS REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

It might not have been the most popular trade Craig Bonner has ever made, but it’s sure paying off now.

The Kamloops Blazers’ general manager traded forwards Tyler Shattock, 19, and Jimmy Bubnick, 18, and defenceman Zak Stebner, 19, to the Calgary Hitmen in January 2010.

Shattock, the Blazers’ captain, and Bubnick were second and third in team scoring — and the playoffs were just around

the corner.

In return, the Blazers received centre Chase Schaber, 18, CHASE and defence- SCHABER man Austin Madaisky, 17, both of whom had tremendous upside, but were unknown to the Kamloops fan base.

“When you trade two of your better players, initially people are wondering if you’re packing it in for that season and what you’re doing,” Bonner said.

“But, you have to make a decision at some point, if you’re going to AUSTIN build around MADAISKY younger players and character people.”

Kamloops made another first-round exit from the playoffs in 2010, while the Hitmen won the WHL championship before being eliminated in a Memorial Cup semifinal.

Last season, neither the Hitmen nor the Blazers qualified for the

SCHABER The deal was made, in large part, to change the culture in a dressing room that had become accustomed to losing.

Bonner knew Schaber had been pegged as a leader at a young age.

The Red Deer product was named captain last season, but the transition into a leadership role was not smooth.

There were rumblings on Mark Recchi Way that

Schaber might be stripped of the C for the 20112012 campaign, with forward Dylan Willick, 19, rumoured to be a likely replacement.

“What got him in trouble in the past is he was almost too competitive at times and he wears his heart on his sleeve,” Bonner said of Schaber.

“But he’s grown and tapered that down a little bit.

“There is a saying there are born leaders, but I think people have characteristics of leadership and they also need to be taught how to lead and our staff has done a good job doing that with him.”

He might have tapered his aggression down, but that does not mean the 6-foot, 200-pound centre lost his belief in tough love.

Just ask 19-year-old defenceman Tyler Hansen, who ended up on the seat of his pants after an altercation with Schaber at practise earlier this season.

MADAISKY The 6-foot-3, 200pound blue-liner has not looked back since returning from neck surgery this season.

He led all Blazer defencemen in scoring, registering 50 points, 13 of them goals, in what marked the most productive season of his WHL career.

The rangy defenceman finished the season plus20, and he is making the Blue Jackets’ brass look smart for picking him 124th overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

Madaisky remembers what was being said about the trade when it happened two years ago.

“I wasn’t here before the trade, obviously, but, coming in and talking to the guys, it seemed like the dressing room definitely changed a bit for the positive,” he said.

“This is probably the closest team I’ve ever played on in my life.”

post-season.

This season, it’s a different story.

Kamloops is having one of its best seasons since the glory days of the mid-1990s, and the team likely wouldn’t be where it is without Schaber and Madaisky.

“We have Schaber, who’s now our captain, and Madaisky is our most valuable defenceman and an assistant captain,” Bonner said.

“We’re reaping the benefits of that deal.”

Honouring longtime pillars of the Blazers’ community

By Marty Hastings SPORTS REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

If you really know the Kamloops Blazers, then you know Greg (Spike) Wallace’s name.

He has bled Blue and Orange for a long time.

The Blazers’ community and sponsorship co-ordinator was honoured for almost 30 years of service on March 7 at Interior Savings Centre, where he was presented with a WHL Distinguished Service Award prior to a game between Kamloops and Portland.

“It was certainly a thrill when I got the call from [WHL commissioner] Ron Robison,” Wallace said.

“When I look at all the people that would be eligible then, no question, it’s a real honour.”

A March 8 Blazers’ press release

“announced that by mutual agreement Spike will be leaving the team to pursue other initiatives.”

The Distinguished Service Award is “presented annually to an individual associated with the WHL who has made an extraordinary contribution over an extended period of time at the club or league level,” according to the WHL. (For those who don’t know, his resemblance to Happy Days’ character Spike, Fonzie’s nephew, is the nickname’s origin, and it has stuck since his early high-school days).

Wallace, who was hired in 1984 as the Blazers’ trainer and equipment manager, moved into a different role in recent years.

Among his duties were booking player appearances in the com-

munity, doing work for the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association and visiting Kamloops schools for speaking engagements.

Wallace said some of his fondest memories are of the three Memorial Cups the Blazers won during his tenure.

Wallace’s mother

and father watched the ceremony held for their son — a Kamloops native — at Interior Savings Centre.

But, as Wallace told KTW prior to the game, there were plenty more loved ones on hand at the game.

“There’s going to be 5,000 friends here tonight,” Wallace said.

The Kamloops Blazers lost a family member in September.

Doris Rubel, a billet co-ordinator with the Blazers and other local hockey clubs for more than 40 years, died on Sept. 29.

She was 75.

“Doris was everything,” Blazers director of marketing and sales Dave Chyzowski said.

“If you want to talk about the most popular person ever to be involved with the hockey club, it would be her, hands down.”

Rubel died at her Kamloops home at 5:45 a.m.

Her daughter, Kerry, was by her side.

“As much as she has been a part of the hockey club, so is her daughter, who’s taken care of [Doris] all these

years,” Chyzowski said.

“Her health wasn’t great and her daughter has been by her side and lived with her.

“She’s an exceptional person for doing what she’s done over these years.”

In 2005, Rubel became a Kamloops Blazers’ Legend.

Blazers and Royals by the numbers

By Marty Hastings SPORTS REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Victoria Royals are the undisputed underdogs heading into a best-of-seven Western Conference quarterfinal showdown with the Kamloops Blazers.

Kamloops won the regular-season series 7-1 and outscored Victoria 35-20 in the process.

There are plenty more numbers

that bode well for Kamloops.

Centre Colin Smith playing between JC Lipon and Tim Bozon made up Kamloops’ best line this season, and they played some of their finest hockey against Victoria.

The trio combined for 35 of the Blazers’ 102 points against the Royals.

Lipon, who finished behind his linemates in overall scoring, was Kamloops’ top scorer

against its first-round playoff foe, registering 13 points, five of them goals.

The Blazers’ special teams numbers are also up against the Royals when compared to the club’s overall statistics.

Kamloops made good on 24.3 per cent of its power play opportunities against Victoria, scoring nine goals on 37 attempts.

That’s slightly up from a 23.8 per cent connection rate

throughout the regular season.

The Blazers stymied 30 of the 37 Royal power plays they faced this season, good for an 81.1 per cent kill rate.

In the regular season, Kamloops’ 10th-ranked penalty kill posted a 78.9 kill percentage.

Kamloops also played well in the clutch against Victoria.

The Blazers and Royals were tied after

two periods of play four times this season — Kamloops won all four games.

Three of the Blue and Orange’s gamewinning goals against Victoria were scored by captain Chase Schaber.

Tim Bozon and the Blazers’ captain each scored seven goals in the season series with the Royals.

Things look OK between the pipes for Kamloops, too.

Cole Cheveldave, who will be the Blazers’ go-to guy all post-season, has played well — but not fantastic — against the Royals.

In six games against the boys from Vancouver Island, Cheveldave boasts a 5-1 record, a 2.67 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage.

Those numbers are decent, but they are slightly down from his

overall stats.

The Blazers’ netminder posted a 2.62 GAA and a .909 save percentage in the regular season.

There are plenty of opinions on the importance of statistics — some say you can throw them out the window come playoff time, others put more belief in their importance.

Time will tell if the trends hold true in this first-round matchup.

A season at the rink While the Kamloops Blazers gear up for a playoff run, the 2011-2012 regular season brought the Blue and Orange back among the elite of the Western Hockey League: •The Blazers had their best regularseason record since 1998-1999, winning the B.C. Division title, finishing second in the Western Conference and settling in at fourth in the WHL with a mark of 47-20-2-3, good for 99 points.

• The Blazers had the biggest turnaround in the WHL this season, with 35 more points and 18 more wins than all of last season.

• Kamloops finished the year with a league-best 22-9-2-3 road record. The 22 road wins were the most for the franchise since the 1995-1996 season.

• The Blazers scored 290 goals — thirdmost in the WHL and the most tallies by a Kamloops squad since the 1998-1999 campaign.

• Kamloops allowed 211 goals this season, the fifth-stingiest mark in the league.

• Rookie goaltender Cole Cheveldave recorded 34 wins, the most by a Blazers’ rookie and goaltender since the 1998-1999 season, when Kenric Exner won 34 games.

• Rookie forward Tim Bozon finished

tops among rookies with 36 goals and was second in the WHL with 71 points this season. Bozon recorded the most goals and points for a Blazer rookie since Scottie Upshall recorded 42 goals and 87 points in the 2000-2001 season.

• Fourth-year forward Brendan Ranford led the Blazers in goals with 40, in assists with 52 and in points with 92. Ranford is the first player to score 40 goals and reach 90-plus points since Erik Christensen had 54 goals and 108 points to lead the WHL in scoring during the 2002-2003 season.

• Eight players reached the 50-plus point plateau this season. The last time a Kamloops team counted eight 50-plus point players was during the 1994-1995 season, when the Blazers had eight players with at least 67 points.

• Six players reached 20-plus goals this season, which was the first time that has happened since the 2000-2001 season.

• The Blazers were ranked eighth in Canada in the final BMO Mastercard Canadian Hockey League Top 10 regularseason rankings. The club was ranked as high as second nationally and was included in the Top 10 for 16 of the 25 weeks.

W

ATERLOO, DAY ONE: UP, DOWN. After 60 minutes in the air, one package of cookies and a glass of iceless water, I land in Calgary 10 minutes late and two minutes before the security door closes on my connecting flight to Waterloo.

Two minutes would be plenty of time.

Plenty.

If, that is, when I scurry up to my next departure gate, there were a cardboard cutDARCIE HOSSACK out of a flight Bon attendant pointAPPÉTIT ing helpfully in the direction I should run.

Or, if not a 2D human, perhaps some direction-indicating breadcrumbs, to suggest there’s been a change of plans.

“This is supposed to be my gate,” I say with some urgency to the attendant next door.

“My flight should already be boarding.”

“If this is your gate, someone will be along.”

I smile and nod, then bolt for the departures screens.

Half of my two minutes are already gone and, when I do locate my new gate, it’s between the candy kiosk and the plush zoo animals store.

Quite honestly, I could use a lollipop and a teddy bear right about now, but there isn’t time for either sentiment or sugar.

This flight to Waterloo, after all, has been on my calendar, my credit card and my mind for many months Tomorrow, I’m meant to read for 20 minutes to 200 university students, starting at 6:05 p.m., then a dash across campus to deliver, at 7 p.m., an hour-long presentation to an un-numbered public gathering.

Finally, there’s a class discussion at nine.

If, that is, I make this flight. Tomorrow’s would be too late.

And so, waving my electronic boarding pass in the air, even as my BlackBerry’s screensaver comes on and blots it out, I run.

“Have a nice flight,” says the woman who finally scans my barcode, checks me in and, a moment later, secures the door behind me.

There are people to climb over before I can settle in my window seat.

They stand, graciously, and allow me past.

Minutes later, I look down during take-

off, watching the ground disappear beneath a batting of clouds.

Now that we are back in the air, though, a miracle happens.

There are many more seats than passengers and, rather than keeping us clustered toward the front, we’re given permission to spread out.

With a row of seats to myself, I say yes to the next round of cookies and pay for a turkey sandwich that is too sweet with cranberries.

I ask for hot water, cream and sugar and swizzle into it a packet of Starbucks Via. I accept the final offering of cookies and tuck them into my purse.

Then, after three hours above a floor of clouds that reveals only a teasing of a single Great Lake, we are on the ground and in the terminal, where I immediately recognize Hildi and Paul, my hosts while in Ontario.

I’ll get to know Hildi and Paul over the next few days but, within a few hours, when fillets of arctic char are removed from their oven and served with roasted root vegetables, I know enough: Hildi and Paul are food people — and Hildi is an extraordinary cook. nicefatgurdie.wordpress.com onepotato2potato@shaw.ca.

tic char

Serves four 4 5-ounce fillets of arctic char 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil 1/2 tsp. Calamondin Balsam (see notes) Kosher salt/fresh ground pepper 1 tbsp. “Perseus” olive oil (see notes) Trim and remove any bones from fish. Pat dry with a paper towel.

Place, skin side down, on a large plate. Season lightly with salt and pepper (a pinch each for each fillet).

Whisk together extra virgin olive oil and Calamondin Balsam. Brush onto fillets and let marinate for 15 minutes.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer arctic char onto this. Bake in a 350F oven until barely opaque in centre.

Remove from oven. Let rest three minutes. Plate and drizzle with Perseus olive oil to finish.

Serve with favourite vegetables.

Notes: The specialty vinegar and oil are from Crescendo. Go online to crescendocanada.com for store locations and mail orders. Calamondin is a citrus, also known as a Panama orange. The Balsam (vinegar) is bright and only a very little bit is needed to add a high note to a delicate fish like arctic char.

On March 15, 2012 DEY, Gordon Dey passed away peacefully while JAMES GORDON holding his daughter’s hand (1950 – 2012) at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home in Kamloops. He is survived by his daughter Leslie (Gareth) of Vancouver, his grandchildren Paxton and Sior, as well as sister Kelli, and brothers Ron (Nancy) and Cal. Tina, Jack (Kathy) and Cory (Heather) and their families as well.

Also nieces Kristi (Jason, Joshua and Matthew) and Shelley (Steve, Halle, Kenna, and Taya), and nephews Andrew and Trevor.

In Loving Memory of

Mariano (Mario) Salvatore Mantello February 12, 1911 - March 22, 1999

MARIAN NEAL February 25, 1937 ~ March 20, 2009

You can only have one mother Patient, kind and true; No other friend in all the world Will be the same to you.

Gord will also be fondly remembered by Sandy and his many lifelong friends.

He is predeceased by his Mother Irene (1998) and father William (Bud) (2011).

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday March 24, at 3:00 p.m. at the Calvary Community Church, 1205 Rogers Way with Reverend Dan Hines ofďŹ ciating.

Born and raised in Savona, Gord followed his father by taking over the family business (Dey’s Centre). Gord provided leadership for many community events. He was the charter president of the Savona Lions Club, and instrumental in the establishment of the Savona Fishing Derby Association, which made signiďŹ cant donations to a wide variety of community ventures.

Gord sold the store and retired in 2009; looking forward to summers on the lake and winters down South. Symptoms of concern began in the spring of 2010 leading to a diagnosis of A.L.S. Gord’s struggles were inspirational as he won all the battles but eventually lost the war. He will be remembered eternally for his infectious laugh, quality jokes, and often retold one liners.

He was a good friend to many.

The family offers a heartfelt thanks to Dr. Jill Calder, the staff at Home and Community Care Services and the Hospice Home. Also a very special thanks to Team Gordon.

If desired, friends can leave donations to the A.L.S. Society, 1233-13351 Commerce Parkway Richmond, BC V6V 2X7 or the Kamloops Hospice Society, 72 Whiteshield Crescent, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9 Online condolences can be expressed at www.schoenings.com Service arrangements entrusted to Schoening Funeral Service 250-374-1454.

Today recalls the memory Of you, now gone to rest And those who think of you today Are those who loved you best.

When other friends forsake you, To Mother you will return, For all her loving kindness, She asks nothing in return.

Your smile is gone forever Your hand we cannot touch, We have so many memories Of the one we loved so much.

As we look upon her picture, Sweet memories we recall Of a face so full of sunshine, And a smile for one and all.

Your memory is our keepsake, From which we’ll never part, God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts.

Your loving family

Sweet Jesus, take this message To our dear Mother up above; Tell her how we miss her, And give her all our Love.

Love and miss you always ...

Lorraine, William, Charleen, Roberta, Suzann, Corinne and Families
