Michael Lindelauf and family walk the banks of Robbins Creek in Robbins Range. Dave Eagles/KTW

The creek meandering across the landscape compelled the Lindelauf family to buy the property 16 years ago.

Today, the waterway that lured the clan may be diverted — and may have been diverted to the Lindelauf family’s land before they arrived.

KAMLOOPS

THIS WEEK

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A

KAMLOOPS SOLDIER KILLED IN Afghanistan is about to become the first in the country to be honoured on a cenotaph.

At a service scheduled for Friday, May 25, a plaque bearing Master Cpl. Erin Doyle’s name will be unveiled at the Kamloops Cenotaph.

It will be the first added to the Battle Street monument in 65 years.

Craig Thomson, first vice-president of Kamloops Legion Branch 52, said a local Legion member and history buff first came forward with the idea of adding Doyle’s name to the cenotaph.

“He was walking by the cenotaph one day and noticed we hadn’t paid tribute — there was no mention of Erin Doyle on there,” Thomson said.

The Legion got in touch with the city, which owns the cenotaph, and the city was receptive to the idea.

Kathy Mitchell, Doyle’s mother, said she had wondered if her son’s name would be added to the monument and was quick to agree when the city approached her with the idea.

“I think it needs to be done,” she said. “We need to acknowledge that.”

Mitchell said the ceremony will likely be an emotional day for her, but also an important historical moment for Kamloops.

“I think it’s a chance for the community to come together on this.”

As far as anyone involved in the dedication can tell, it’s the first time a fallen solider from Afghanistan has been memorialized on a Canadian cenotaph.

Thomson said the federal government is holding off on creating its own monument until Canada’s mission in the country is finished, noting “there may be a number of eyes that are watching how we’re doing this.”

Mitchell hopes those watching will follow Kamloops’ lead.

“I think it needs to be done for all of them,” she said. “One-hundred-and-fifty-eight communities in Canada need to be doing the same thing.”

Doyle, who had previously served with Kamloops’ reserve Rocky Mountain Rangers, was killed on Aug. 11, 2008, while defending a combat outpost. It was his third tour in Afghanistan.

Mitchell remembers her son as a practical joker and his sense of humour is one of the things she misses the most.

“I think he’d been gone a good six months before I realized the doorbell wasn’t going to ring and he wasn’t going to open the door and say, ‘I really got you this time, mom,” she said. “That’s just the kind of kid he was.”

The unveiling begins at 11 a.m. at the cenotaph on the corner of Battle Street and Second Avenue in downtown Kamloops.

Master Cpl. Erin Doyle was killed on Aug. 11, 2008, while defending a combat outpost in Afghanistan. On Friday, May 25, Doyle’s name will be added to the Kamloops Cenotaph, the first addition in 65 years. Doyle’s mother, Kathy Mitchell (below), would like to see all of Canada’s fallen in Afghanistan honoured in their hometowns across the country.

CP workers on strike

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

CN REMAINS ON TRACK

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Canadian Pacific Railway tracks through Kamloops — and across Canada — are quiet after the union representing 5,000 of the company’s railworkers went into strike mode this week.

Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC) stopped service just after midnight on Wednesday, May 23.

CP employs more than 220 workers in Kamloops, 200 of whom are unionized.

The local union spokesman said the workers want better working conditions and wish to hold onto their pensions and benefits.

“Our main issues are all nonmonetary,” TCRC Div. 821 chairman Chris Becker told KTW. “We’re basically looking for quality of life. We’re just trying to protect what we’ve got.”

Becker said CP is attempting to slash employee pensions by up to 40 per cent and force workers to pull 12-hour shifts and increase their daily mileage.

CP spokesman Kevin Hrysak called the work stoppage “discouraging” and said the company is hoping for a speedy resolution.

“The suspension of this network means tens of thousands of car-

While CP’s operations have all but screeched to a halt, the other national railway isn’t anticipating changes to its service.

Canadian National Railway, which also runs through Kamloops, says it’s business as usual.

“CN’s network remains fluid and the company expects it will remain so,” Mark Hallman, the railway’s director of communications, told KTW. “CN is providing continued service to its customers over CN lines.”

Hallman wouldn’t speculate whether CN will see increased business during the CP strike.

“At the moment, we’re focused on serving our own customers and protecting our fluidity,” he said.

There are two stretches of railroad in Canada shared by CN and CP — one between Kamloops and Vancouver and the other in Ontario.

Hallman said CN expects use of those lines to be uninterrupted by the CP strike. loads per day will not be running,” he said. “I know that the minister’s office [federal Labour Minister Lisa Raitt] was quoting a half-billion dollars per week for how it will affect the economy.”

Raitt issued a statement this week urging the two sides to come

to an agreement and avoid a lengthy strike.

If an agreement can’t be reached soon, Hrysak said, CP is hoping the union will agree to have the line operational during negotiations.

“We need the Teamsters to agree to that,” he said. “If they don’t, we urge the federal government to take whatever steps necessary, whether it be back-to-work legislation or something else.”

Becker, meanwhile, said local CP tracks will be quiet as the strike continues.

“I understand there may be one or two work trains,” he said.

“But, people won’t see a lot.”

That inactivity is causing concern for many involved in heavy industry, including the Mining Association of Canada (MAC).

According to MAC figures, the mining industry accounts for more than half of all rail-freight revenues in Canada each year.

The work stoppage has also impacted the Rocky Mountaineer, which issued a travel advisory this week, telling its customers they will be carried by bus, rather than train, from Kamloops to Banff and Calgary.

That stretch of the Rocky Mountaineer runs on CP lines. The route from Kamloops to Jasper, which operates on Canadian National tracks, is unaffected.

Nothing to predict violent end Dennan Bruce Crosby killed self during standoff negotiator.

Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said that, while Crosby wasn’t known to local police, he had previous dealings with the law in Alberta in the 1980s and 1990s.

Learned didn’t give out specifics, but said incidents had involved property and drug offences.

Learned said Mounties had heard nothing about Crosby that would indicate he could be capable of his actions.

“There was nothing that had been brought to our attention that would suggest the actions that he took could be either predicted or even suggested,” said Learned.

“There was just nothing.”

There was nothing in Dennan Bruce Crosby’s history to predict his fiery end.

The B.C. Coroners Office has named Crosby as the 48 yearold man responsible for a police standoff in Dufferin on Thursday, May 17, that ended in an explosion and fire that left him dead and destroyed one home.

Crosby strapped himself with explosives and entered the house at 1486 Cannel Dr. at about 5:30 p.m.

For about six hours, he held the woman living there, Sherry Young, hostage, finally releasing her after a long conversation with an RCMP hostage

Young’s boyfriend, Dave Madore, has said Crosby was only her co-worker, but Learned said statements taken after the standoff indicate the Young and Cosby were in an “adult dating relationship” between April and September of 2011.

At the time of the standoff, police said Crosby appeared to be distraught about their earlier breakup.

The two also worked together at a Kamloopsbased business, Learned said, and it appears Crosby lived in the city for an undefined period of time.

He also appears to have spent time in Langley.

Learned said Surrey RCMP were asked to

Overpass to remain closed until mid-June

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Repairs to the closed Tranquille overpass should finally begin next week, but it will likely be mid-June before the route re-opens to traffic.

The overpass was damaged on May 11, when it was struck by an excavator being towed by a semi-truck.

It has remained closed since.

Kamloops street manager Jim McNeely said the city and ICBC are set to meet at the damaged pass on Friday, May 25, along with the insurer’s structural engineer and several contractors. After that, contractors will be asked to submit quotations by the middle of next week.

McNeely said because ICBC will be footing the bill for repairs, now estimated at $50,000, the process is slower than normal.

“They want to have some assurance that they’re paying out the least amount they can,” he said. “We can’t just go hire someone to do it. We have to get a somewhat competitive quote for it.

“We might have been underway with repair right now if it was just the city involved. We’re going through ICBC to settle a claim. It is slowing it down to a degree.”

The city now estimates the overpass will open to traffic on Sunday, June 17. Once contractor bids are in, McNeely hopes work will begin within days and estimates it will take 10 to 14 days to get the span back up to grade.

Last week, KTW reported several businesses in the Tranquille Market area, which is served by the overpass, were taking a hit at the register because of the closure.

McNeely said he’s sympathetic to businesses’ concerns.

“But, we’re working as fast as we can to get it back open and make sure that it’s a good repair and the bridge will be in good shape when we’re finished.”

Premier Christy Clark bitten by a pest problem

P

REMIER CHRISTY Clark has a new political problem buzzing around her office.

A year ago, the newly appointed premier was looking to change the channel for an unpopular government grappling with the fallout of the harmonized sales tax.

Newly appointed NDP Leader Adrian Dix was touting an idea that is all the rage with urban folks — a ban on cosmetic pesticides. All the better B.C. communities already have one, starting with Clark’s old stomping ground of Port Moody in 2003.

So, she figured she’d better run to the front of this parade, swipe a popular policy from the opposition and do something to redefine the B.C. Liberal Party after the tax-cutting, regulation-repealing decade of Gordon Campbell.

But, first an all-party committee would hold hearings around the province, chaired by Kootenay-East Liberal MLA Bill Bennett.

Bennett presented the committee’s report last week and one could see what was coming. Bennett is the rifle-toting outdoorsman who recently called on his government to abandon the carbon tax, saying it’s silly to keep pretending B.C. can change the world’s climate.

He was recently appointed by Clark to co-chair the B.C. Liberal Party policy committee for next year’s election, a strong signal of the party’s rightward shift in response to the B.C. Conservative threat.

Bennett concluded after 10 months of hearings that the public aversion to

TOM FLETCHER Our Man in

VICTORIA common lawn and garden herbicides is based on “chemophobia” that flourishes due to scientific illiteracy.

That statement is both politically dangerous and absolutely correct.

I first covered this issue in the Okanagan 25 years ago, when environmentalists fought the use of Roundup by the forests ministry to knock down brush and promote new trees.

The evidence boils down to this: These complex organic compounds break down in a short period to simpler, common components that pose no threat. Thus, with buffer zones around watercourses and temporary entry restrictions, they are safe.

Unfortunately, most people know little or nothing about chemistry and refuse to believe this. It’s part of the scientific nonsense trend that has grown in B.C. society for decades.

We have parents turning their backs on routine immunization because of superstitions about vaccines.

We have people panicked about imaginary health effects of smart meters, egged on by shoddy, sensationalist media reporting.

The parallels between local-government responses to smart-meter hysteria and this scientifically ignorant push against pesticides is telling.

As Bennett put it, when someone becomes convinced her child is at risk, “that mom is pretty darn compelling when she goes to council.”

Few have the courage to stand up to that.

The committee sought advice from Health Canada, whose scientists approve conditions of use for chemicals. Health Canada representative Lindsay Hansen said B.C. was the first province to ask for its advice, despite the fact most provinces have imposed bans. These bans are political, not public safety measures, University of Guelph toxicologist Keith Solomon told MLAs. The committee also learned cosmetic use accounts for only five per cent of pesticide use. Most of it is in agriculture, forestry and commercial pest control, with no ban proposed.

MLAs in farming areas signalled their concern over the effect of this urban-gesture politics.

Backyard fruit trees go unsprayed and pests spread to orchards and fields.

We have large areas of Agricultural Land Reserve, but 85 per cent of the people who live in those areas don’t farm.

The NDP is content to fan public fear and ignore evidence, as with smart meters and oil pipelines.

The premier has a choice here. She can do the popular thing, or the right thing. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

KGHM, the Polish company that has an 80 per cent stake in the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine in Kamloops, is in the news this week in a big way.

However, it appears part of the “news” that is being forwarded to city email accounts is not news at all.

Various Facebook profiles have posted links to a Euronews.com story on striking KGHM miners rioting and attacking company offices in the Polish city of Lubin.

Emails have also been sent, including one from the local Stop Ajax Mining group.

The author of that email wrote: “This is appalling. We do not advocate any kind of violence, but is this any indication of how KGHM treats their workers? Do we really want someone like this to run a mine in our town?”

Well, we can confidentially state Kamloopsians don’t want rioting miners to be part of the proposed Ajax mine.

While watching miners riot may be appalling, and while the root cause of the riot may be appalling, it is important to note the story being commented on locally appears to be more than a year old.

According to the dateline on the news story and on connected YouTube videos, this incident in Poland occurred on May 5, 2011.

Assuming the company is at fault for a worker demonstration based on a couple of paragraphs in an archived news story and amateur video on YouTube is hardly conducive to illuminating the concerns locally.

And, there are concerns locally, important considerations related to the environment and quality of life that have precious little to do with labour disputes in Lubin, Poland.

Enough with the pollution and noise from above Editor: Re: This past weekend’s annual MayMeet skydiving jamboree at Kamloops Airport, hosted by the Kamloops Skydivers Sport Parachute Club: Every weekend, planes circle and circle all day and evening over populated areas, polluting the air below with exhaust and noise and showing no respect for taxpayers trying to enjoy their privacy and yards.

The planes always circle exactly the same area.

Q&A

They could easily fly northwest of the airport where there is no population.

Why are these events not regulated?

Why do they also get to camp at the airport and not have to book a motel like other visitors?

We are aware of the fact nobody else wants them in their area.

After ruining many taxpayers’ long weekend with all the pollution, it’s time for an appropriate change.

We wish to express a very large thank you to Cooper’s Foods in Westsyde (especially to manager Bill Campbell and his staff).

He kindly offered us a spot outside of Cooper’s and donated all the hot dogs, buns, pop and fixings.

Thank you also to our many family members, wonderful friends and co-workers for donating their time and baking, and for the outpouring of financial support from Cooper’s customers.

Generosity was exemplified by the very special construction workers at Cooper’s.

One worker handed over a $100 bill and all he wanted was 10 hot dogs.

He would not take back any change.

The sense of community in Westsyde was truly present and the generosity of so many was kindly appreciated.

Someone needs to track down signage for cyclists Editor: On May 6, I was biking on Lorne Street and went over the train tracks.

My wheel got caught in the track and it sent me flying into rocks.

Good thing I was wearing a helmet.

I think they should have a sign so people are told of the danger and can walk their bike across the tracks.

I would have used the bike path in the area, but I had a dog in my bike’s basket and I know dogs are not allowed in Riverside Park.

Since my tumble, I have heard from others who have taken a fall and been injured at the tracks on Lorne Street.

They, too, are wondering why there is no sign to warn them.

I would have jumped off my bike had I known.

Instead, I am still in pain two weeks later, with bruising still visible.

Come out and meet 419 The 886 (Overlanders) Wing Air Force Association of Canada is turning 26 and, to help celebrate the occasion, the Royal Canadian Air Force’s 419 Tactical Fighter Training Squadron from Cold Lake, Alta., will be in attendance this weekend.

The squadron will arrive at Kamloops Airport at 4 p.m. on Friday, May 25, with the birthday dinner taking place on Saturday night in the Vista Room at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Convention Centre, 1250 Rogers Way. A static display of a CT-155 Hawk jet fighter training aircraft will be open to the public at the airport between 10 a.m. and noon on Saturday, May 26.

Event organizer Alex Sim, a veteran of the Korean and Second World wars, said Saturday will be the main day for the public to get involved.

“Particularly Saturday morning, it’ll be wide open to the public, for people to go out and talk to the pilots, see the aircraft and just spend a couple of hours socializing out there,” Sim said.

Scheduled to be in attendance for the weekend are members of 419 Squadron, led by their commanding officer, Lt.-Col. Mike “Moose” Mirza.

Also on deck will be honourary colonel of 419 Squadron, Paul Byrne, president and CEO of Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton, and retired Col. Flyin’ Phil Engstad, a former

commanding officer and honourary colonel of the squadron.

Mayor Peter Milobar and council members, along with MP Cathy McLeod and MLA Terry Lake, will also be in attendance for the birthday celebration.

On Sunday, May 27, the 886 Wing and 419 Squadron will be attending the 70th anniversary of the 204 Black Maria Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets on McArthur Island.

Saturday’s dinner begins at 6 p.m. with cocktails, and a chance to meet and chat with 419 Squadron members and other guests.

Cost of the dinner is $40 per person. For more information, contact Alex or Dina Sim at 250376-3783.

Vandals once again target city school The Kamloops-Thompson school district has another $3,500 of damage to add to its growing tab after three teenagers broke into Westsyde’s Arthur Stevenson elementary on the Victoria Day long weekend.

RCMP say the break-in occurred just before 3:30 a.m. and seven of the school’s windows were

smashed in the process.

A screen from one of the school’s computers was also found on the ground outside.

Police found one 15 year-old boy at the scene, who attempted to flee, and have since found two other 15 year-old suspects.

All three teens were turned over to their parents.

Losing weight has never been easier After suffering a back, knee, and hip injury, I had given up all hope of losing the excess weight that I had put on in the past 8 years.

When Powertone opened, I was excited that I could finally do some form of exercise which didn’t further aggravate my injuries and cause me more pain.

I was very confident that this would work for me because I knew Irene from her health studio in Richmond and had been a steady client of Margaret hers for over 15 years. She is very professional, Very satisfied customer knowledgeable, and customizes the exercise program to achieve the best results for every individual. She also combines specialized body treatments for spot reduction. I was not disappointed!

I started going to Powertone Health Studios twice a week, followed a healthy nutrition plan, both of which fit easily into my busy schedule.

In 2 months, I had lost over 40 lbs, went down 3 sizes and feel fantastic! I have more energy and a zest for living that I never thought possible.

I don’t find myself bored with Powertone and actually looked forward to it because not only did it firm my body, but I feel really good afterwards. I highly recommend everyone to try Powertone……it can give you a new lease on life!

Knife, intoxicants a no-no for man in park A Kamloops man is facing two counts of breaching court orders and charges of weapons possession after allegedly waving a knife around Pioneer Park on the long weekend.

Kamloops RCMP received an anonymous tip at about noon on Sunday, May 20, that an intoxicated, shirtless man was in the park with a knife.

When a patrol officer showed up, the man, who is known to Mounties, told the officer the knife was in his back pocket.

The officer then disarmed the man.

The 19 year-old man was found to be in breach of two conditions of his probation order, which require him to stay away from intoxicants and weapons.

Notice is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held on TUESDAY, June 5, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. in the COUNCIL CHAMBERS, #1 Opal Drive, Logan Lake, in order to afford all persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the following amendment to Zoning Bylaw 675, an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in this amendment.

The 2011 class of Kamloops-area First Nations Grade 12 grads file into last year’s graduation and awards ceremony.

KTW file photo

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

More than 150 Kamloops-area aboriginal Grade 12 students will be honoured tonight (May 24) at a special First Nations graduation ceremony.

Deb Draney, the Kamloops-Thompson school district’s principal for aboriginal education, said 169 School District No. 73 students will walk across the stage, along with three from St. Ann’s Academy and one from Skeetchestn.

“It’s really fun,” she said.

“Lots of people attend within our aboriginal community and it’s a really awesome time because we’re celebrating the success of these individuals who have worked very hard to get where they’re at.”

Scheduled to speak at the ceremony are district superintendent Terry Sullivan and Tk’emlups Indian Band Chief Shane Gottfriedson.

Draney said the event will also include aboriginal drumming, a teepee constructed inside the ballroom and a word on behalf of the parents of the graduating students.

The grads will be led in by native elders.

The event is put on by the Kamloops-Thompson school district but, Draney said, native graduates from area private and non-district schools are also invited to take part.

“We’re surrounded by our seven First Nations bands and we don’t have any borders — they’re all our students,” she said.

“We include all of our Grade 12 graduating students, whether they’re at private schools or band schools. We don’t have any borders or boundaries when it comes to celebrating education.”

Draney said the number of native students graduating from School District No. 73 schools this year — 169 — is encouraging.

“Absolutely, it is,” she said.

“Each year we’ve increased our numbers.”

According to Draney, three per cent of Kamloops aboriginal students graduated in 1968.

Last year, it was 64 per cent — marking the first time ever the figure surpassed 60 per cent.

In 2010, the native-graduation rate in the district was 55 per cent.

“It’s a slow increase, little by little, but we are making gains,” she said, noting the First Nations grad rate is still significantly lower than the district’s overall rate of 76 per cent.

“We’re going to see parity and our students are not going to give up.”

The ceremony, at Thompson Rivers University’s Grand Hall, is slated to get underway at 5 p.m.

Despite name, fire ants desire wet locale

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

European fire ants are on the march in Vancouver-area gardens, but the stinging insects aren’t likely to take Kamloops lawns by storm.

The invasive ants are being reported in several Lower Mainland locations and can make lawn care and gardening difficult due to their swarming and stinging.

While the ants were most likely imported to B.C. in the last decade through bedding plants from central Canada, entomologist Rob Higgins said any shipped to the Tournament Capital wouldn’t survive to cause a problem.

“It’s too dry,” said Higgins, a

professor at Thompson Rivers University’s Williams Lake campus.

“This ant really requires quite a bit of moisture.”

While the ant could survive in a cold frame or small greenhouse — areas that would be unnaturally moist for Kamloops — they are unlikely to spread into parks, community gardens and lawns.

That’s good news for the city, because large infestations are much more difficult to get rid of.

A small-scale problem may be resolved by simply digging out the nest.

Because they require so much moisture, European fire ants are more likely to spread along B.C.’s coast than into the interior, Higgins said.

Kamloops’ dry climate is not conducive to the lifestyle of the European fire ant, which has made the news with its stinging arrival on the Lower Mainland.

Ready to Care for you

By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER

The downtown Customer Care and Patrol Team (formally known as Central Ambassador Patrol or CAP) has new members ready to bring the program into its ninth summer.

A press conference was held on Wednesday, May 23, to introduce this year’s group.

The four new and five returning members will take to the streets, helping downtown businesses, assisting tourists and locals and acting as an extra set of eyes and ears for police and bylaw officers.

There will be five tourist ambassadors and four Safety Patrollers this year.

Returning veterans are Kristina Moller, James Semaschuk, Kelly Trainor, Moe Serown and David Ancheta.

Newcomers are Jessie Renaud, Kevin Lapratte, Coleson Lecompte and Mairi Dagleish.

Lapratte is a tourism student at Thompson Rivers University who is curious to see what Kamloops’ downtown has to offer.

“I think it’s a great program,” he said. “I’m brand new to it but, so far, my first month, I’m really enjoying it and I think we do a great thing here downtown.

Everyone really loves it.”

Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association Gay Pooler said she is always excited

to have a mix of new and old members on the team.

Alleys will again be a focus this summer.

“We’re trying to reduce the number of dumpsters in the back alleys by getting businesses to share, so that’s something the safety patrol is working on,” Pooler said, noting they are also looking at adding more lighting in alleys.

Moller said the team wants to improve interaction with outlying downtown businesses.

The CAP team kiosk, which will be in service as of May 31, will be located in the 300-block of Victoria Street.

Its office is at 340 Victoria St., an address it shares with the ASK Wellness Centre.

The Lindelauf family enjoys a rural way of life in remote Robbins Range. Dave Eagles/KTW

Creek-diversion request filed X From A16

However, depending on the outcome of a community meeting next month, the lot’s main selling point could be a thing of the past.

A water-licence holder down the hill has asked to have the creek diverted to a different course — one he and the provincial Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations say it used to flow on before the Lindelaufs set up their farm in the area.

On a hand-drawn map, Michael has sketched out his worries.

If the creek is diverted above his lot, it will no longer flow through his ponds and he expects the marsh will eventually

begin to dry up, leading to a loss of wildlife.

While the family doesn’t hold a water licence for Robbins Creek and can’t use the water for irrigation purposes, Michael said having the creek on site improves the land their sheep and cattle graze.

“We don’t take water out of the creek per se, but the creek does water the land,” he said.

“Without the water, grass isn’t going to grow and, if the grass doesn’t grow, we can’t keep our farm.”

He is also upset the government didn’t initially tell him it was considering rerouting the creek.

He found out from his neighbours about two years ago.

Since then, he said,

he hasn’t had much luck getting answers and having his concerns about the plan heard, though he said provincial waterstewardship officials have since told him they might notify him if the rerouting goes ahead.

“Normally, I’m not a political person and I don’t say too much but, in this case, I think it needs to be said. They’re

just going to try and do this,” he said.

“They don’t even have to give me notice that they’re taking the water off my property.

They don’t have to do anything.”

Further downstream, Larry Campbell and his wife Holly first noticed the water from Robbins Creek was starting to dry up in the early 1990s.

“We didn’t know what had happened.

We didn’t know where the water went,” said Campbell, who runs Buse Creek Ranch and holds a licence to irrigate his hay field using Robbins Creek.

“We’ve got this beautiful field that’s had no water for a long time,” he said.

No encore for Merritt Mountainfest

By Jade Swartzberg MERRITT HERALD newsroom@merrittherald.com

With two months to go before country musicians were set to take the stage, the Merritt Mountain Music Festival has been cancelled due to low ticket sales.

“It is with deep regret that the management of the Merritt Mountain Music Festival has come to the sad decision to cancel the 2012 edition of Mountainfest,” read an announcement posted on the festival website.

The announcement cited slow ticket sales as the reason for the cancellation.

Despite a revival in 2011, this is the second time in three years organizers have cancelled the festival.

Mountainfest, which

drew as many as 140,000 people over five days at its peak, was halted after 17 years in 2010 because of financial concerns caused by a decline in attendance, coupled with the high cost of performers.

After a comeback last year, festival co-founder Claude Lelievre remained optimistic despite low attendance and said the festival was ready to grow.

In October 2011, Lelievre told the Merritt Herald festival plans for 2012 were three months ahead of schedule.

The company also posted the cancellation notice to the Merritt Mountain Music Festival Facebook page and, while many fans were supportive, others suggested a “poor lineup”

was to blame for low ticket sales.

The lineup included Gary Allen and Gord Bamford, but many of the performers were relatively unknown.

Lelievre responded to criticism on Facebook and said since September he has tried to secure a “huge name” headliner for the festival by making offers on Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, Reba McIntire and Sheryl Crow, among others, but was unable to close any of them.

“This has been the most challenging year that I have experienced in the past 35 years of my being in the entertainment business,” he wrote, adding that though he was not disappointed with the roster, he had no other option but to cancel

the festival.

“This festival simply cannot be produced with only a few hundred fans wishing for it to continue.”

The cancellation notice thanks patrons,

Ruby Hrycenko

volunteers and sponsors who “historically made what Mountainfest meant to hundreds of thousands of country music fans over the past 18 years.”

The notice concludes with “good bye to all.”

GLOBAL VIEWS

Tibetans in flames

T

HE NUMBER of Tibetans burning themselves to death in protests against Chinese policy has grown very fast recently.

The first self-immolation was in 2009, but 22 of the 30 incidents happened in the past year.

And, while at first it was only Buddhist monks and nuns who were setting themselves on fire, in the past month both a teenage girl and a mother of four have chosen to die in this gruesome way.

The Chinese response has been repression and abuse. The affected provinces have been flooded with security forces and Communist Party officials have condemned the protesters as anarchists, terrorists and rebels — or, in the words of one official, “rats” born of “weasels.”

The state-controlled media claim the deaths are orchestrated by the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, who has lived in exile in India since 1959.

They also insist the Dalai Lama’s real goal is separatism — the revival of the independent Tibet that existed until the Chinese troops marched back in in 1951 — although the protesters themselves demand only the return of the Dalai Lama and respect for their culture and religion.

The Chinese media work themselves up into a lather of indignation about the alleged intention of these “separatists” not only to fracture the sacred unity of the Chinese homeland, but to expel the large number of Han Chinese settlers who have immigrated to Tibet.

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH As the Xinhua News Agency put it: “How similar it is to the Holocaust committed by Hitler on the Jews!”

Well, not similar at all, really.

Even though many Tibetans fear “cultural genocide” if the Han Chinese immigrants become a majority in Tibet (and they are probably right to suspect this is why Beijing subsidizes the immigration), there is still a distinction between Panzer divisions and extermination camps on the one hand, and monks and teenage girls burning themselves to death on the other.

Meanwhile, the Dalai Lama goes on doing what he does best, keeping Tibet before the world’s attention. As part of that process, he visits world leaders and collects various honours like the Nobel Peace Prize — and he never attacks the Chinese regime directly.

Instead, he patiently and politely insists China must respect Tibet’s cultural and religious autonomy.

He never demands Tibetan independence, nor does he let his followers in the large Tibetan exile community talk about independence.

And, of course, he laments the self-immolations.

Yet the Dalai Lama also believes he will one day return to Tibet.

He is 76 years old, but he is in good health, “so I am expecting another 10, 20 years,” he told a BBC interviewer this week.

“Within that [time], definitely things will change”.

What does he think will change?

Surely not the attitude of the Chinese communist regime, which will never allow him to return to Tibet since it fears that would unleash a great wave of anti-Chinese nationalism.

Well, then, he must think the Chinese regime itself will eventually change.

Of course he does.

Most people who know any history think that.

Despite the death of Communist ideology in China, the regime has managed to stay in power for almost a quarter-century since the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, but it has been helped by continuous, high-speed economic growth.

Would it survive a major recession?

Nobody knows, but there is certainly a reasonable chance of regime change in China in the next 10 or 20 years.

That would be Tibet’s great opportunity, as the Dalai Lama must know.

The precedent is what happened when Communist Party rule ended in the old Soviet Union 21 years ago.

The Soviet Union was the old Russian empire under a new name and only about half of its population was ethnically Russian.

When it collapsed, all the republics with nonRussian majorities took their independence.

The People’s Republic of China is more homogeneous: 90 per cent of

its population is Han Chinese.

But, in the few areas that still have nonChinese majorities, like Tibet, separation would be possible when regime change happens in Beijing — on two conditions: It would have to happen fast and it can only happen if the Chinese people do not see Tibetans as enemies.

It has to happen fast because the window of opportunity doesn’t stay open long: once a new regime is firmly established, no politician who wants a long career will take the blame for negotiating “division of the motherland.”

And, if the Chinese worry that an independent Tibet would fall under the influence of their great Asian rival, India, or if they are under attack by Tibetan terrorists, they will be very reluctant to let the Tibetans go.

The Dalai Lama certainly knows all this, too.

His job, therefore, is to keep the spirits of the Tibetans up while waiting for the window of opportunity to open — and to keep the impatient younger generation from launching some futile war of liberation involving terrorist attacks in the meantime.

He has been successful in that for a long time, but the wave of selfimmolations is a warning that patience may be running out.

Landowner said creek was moved X From A17

Early theories on where the water went included global warming, but Campbell said an investigation using aerial photographs eventually turned up a man-made diversion high up in the hills, one that rerouted the water away from his property.

Looking at the photos, Campbell said, the course change appears suddenly one year in the early 1990s, before the Lindelaufs arrived.

Since making the discovery, the Campbells have asked the province to put Robbins Creek back on what they say is its original track.

“We just want it to come back and the people on Robbins Creek, the water licencees, will carry on the way it’s carried on for 100 years,” he said.

Campbell said the lack of water has hurt wildlife in his area — just as the Lindelaufs fear it would on their property. Without the water, a nearby lake is also drying up.

While he’s aware others in the area are concerned about moving the creek, Campbell

said the request isn’t malicious. And, he added, it won’t hurt anyone who is licensed to use the creek.

“There’s no intention of hurting someone.

There’s no expectation that anyone will be hurt,” he said. “We’re the ones that were hurt when this water was diverted and we just want to reconnect it and then we’re off and running.”

However, the province hasn’t signed off on the request just yet — in part, a ministry spokeswoman confirmed, because of community concerns.

According to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, a community meeting is planned for mid-June and the Lindelaufs will be invited to attend.

A ministry spokeswoman said the original creek path is considered “a more stable configuration” than the current route and rerouting Robbins Creek would reduce erosion in the area and provide more water to licence holders.

If the plan goes ahead, work will be completed and paid for by the province.

Several property owners in the area were set to meet on Wednesday night (May 23), to try to formulate a strategy to block the course change. Joanie said BC NDP MLA Michael Sather from Pitt Meadows has expressed interest in their concerns, as have others in the opposition party.

“I’m just hoping we can get some help out here,” she said.

their decision.”

She said many of her neighbours — who, for the most part, also lack water licences for the creek — are convinced the rerouting is a done deal and several report being told as much by provincial staffers. In addition to the Lindelaufs, Joanie and Michael said the diversion will cut at least three of their neighbours off from the creek.

The final decision will be made by the area’s regional manager of water stewardship after public concerns are looked into, though it’s not clear how long that process will take.

The Lindelaufs, however, aren’t convinced the government is interested in hearing their concerns.

“Last year we wanted a meeting,” said Michael’s wife, Joanie.

“They’ve already made

Be Bar Safe downtown

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Get kicked out of one Kamloops bar and you may be out of luck for the rest of the night.

That’s the aim of the Bar Safe Program, which is set to expand throughout the city.

For the past three years, a handful of the city’s major late-night hotspots have been calling and texting each other when a problem customer is kicked out of one of their businesses, said Commodore Grand Cafe and Lounge owner Dino Bernardo.

“We get a text message that says, ‘This is a problem person here.

Don’t let them in,’ and it’s reduced our problems dramatically.”

Mounties are encouraging licensed restaurants, pubs and smaller bars to become part of the program.

Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned

said businesses involved in Bar Safe agree to a code of conduct — in which gang colours, drug dealing and use, bar fights and over-intoxication lead to ejection — and agree to let other bars know when they have had to invoke it.

Learned said the program is designed to cut down on alcohol-related problems and property damage in the downtown core, particularly when bars close for the night.

“Some people tend to go a little too overboard with their consumption.

The problems we’ve dealt with are generally alcohol-fuelled problems of rowdy behaviours, fights, assaults,” he said.

“This is about not only creating a safe environment, but ensuring the people who are enjoying themselves downtown in bars and restaurants are conducting themselves in a way that’s acceptable to the community,” added Jon Wilson, Kamloops’ community safety and

For its part, the city announced the location of several new taxi stands created to help with the last-call bar flush.

Taxis can still be called to a specific business for pickup, but will also queue up at the corner of Victoria Street and Third Avenue and along the 400-block of Lansdowne Street between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m.

Walk this weekend to fight cystic fibrosis

By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER

reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

Across Canada on Sunday, May 27, people will gather to raise awareness about cystic fibrosis.

In Kamloops, the Cystic Fibrosis Walk will take place at the B.C. Wildlife Park, with registration set for 8:30 a.m. and the walk to start at 9 a.m.

Cystic fibrosis is the most common fetal genetic disease affecting young Canadians across the country.

The disease builds up mucus in a person’s digestive tract and lungs, which hinders the digestive process and causes serious respiratory problems.

Patients must undergo daily

inhalation treatments and take numerous digestive enzymes before meals to help them break down nutrients in their food.

Nicole Robinson, vice-president of the Kamloops chapter of Cystic Fibrosis Canada, has two daughters who suffer from the disease — Kiana and Alysa.

She said it’s been difficult knowing her girls don’t have the same life expectancy as everyone else.

Alysa, 7, is in and out of the hospital due to lung infections caused by the disease.

However, Robinson said, she has been teaching her girls not to allow the disease to control their lives.

“CF is just part of who they are.

It’s not who they are,” Robinson said.

Like all other children, her daughters have dreams and goals — Alysa wants to be a marine biologist and Kiana wants to be a nurse.

The main goal of the Cystic Fibrosis Walk is to raise awareness and funds to battle the disease.

“It’s a fatal disease, there’s no cure yet and, right now, probably about half of the patients can live into their 40s,” Robinson said.

To register for the Cystic Fibrosis Walk, people can show up the day of the walk with their pledges or go online to cysticfibrosis.ca/greatstrides or email Robinson at cfkamloops@hotmail. com.

Bring the Heat

Pros to join Joes at Sun Rivers

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

HERE WILL be professional golf in Kamloops this year after all, and local players can get in on the act.

The Sun Rivers Resort Pro-Am, listed as an unofficial stop on the Canadian Professional Golf Tour, is scheduled to run from June 13 to June 15.

“We wanted to make sure we could try and keep a Canadian Tour presence here and build a profile,” Sun Rivers general manager Rob Larocque said.

“This is a great avenue because the format

is a little more relaxed.

“If the community can get to know the players on a personal level on the golf course, then hopefully we can generate some more steam.”

Rivershore Estates and Golf Links hosted the Western Championship, a Canadian Tour stop, last June.

The future of the tournament was duckhooked out of bounds this year when organizers and fundraisers could not find a title sponsor, or a group of sponsors, to cover the $300,000 required to run the tourney.

For the full story on the demise of the

Western Championship, log on to kamloopsthisweek.com.

There were 30 amateur spots available for the Sun Rivers Pro-Am — about 20 have been filled.

“Basically, you get four-and-a-half meals, three rounds of golf, a pair of golf shoes and you get to play with a potential PGA Tour star all for only $299,” Larocque said.

Call Sun Rivers at 250-828-9989 to register for the tournament.

There were 60 available spots at the pro-am for Tour professionals.

The pros already committed include Jose De Jesus Rodriguez of Mexico, last season’s

Order of Merit winner, Stuart Anderson, the top Canadian on the merit list at fourth overall, Nick Taylor, who has competed at two PGA Tour U.S. Open championships, and Merritt’s Roger Sloan, who won the Western Championship last year.

The prize purse for the professionals is expected to be about $20,000, Larocque said.

Amateurs will be competing for prizes in the team event, along with low-gross and lownet individual prizes.

Larocque said there will be about $6,000 worth of prizes.

There is no cost for spectators to attend the event.

The Times Colonist Island Savings Open is scheduled to run from June 7 to June 10 at Uplands Golf Club in Victoria.

Windermere Golf and Country Club in Edmonton will host the ATB Financial Classic from June 21 to June 24.

The Kamloops event fills a hole on the Tour’s schedule.

“The Canadian Tour needs to work on getting a little better profile here in Kamloops,” Larocque said.

“This is a way we can do something easy, simple, innovative and unique to try and keep the Canadian Tour presence here in Kamloops.”

Hillside Stadium will welcome home the Kamloops Heat for a women’s premier Pacific Coast Soccer League matchup on Sunday, May 27.

Kamloops (1-0-1) is hosting the Fraser Valley Action (0-0-0) at 2 p.m.

The Heat are coming off a win at the Penticon Soccer Club’s May long weekend tournament.

Kamloops posted a 4-0 record en route to gold in Penticton.

Rebecca Williams finished the tournament with six goals.

In league play, Amanda Barrett leads Kamloops with two goals.

Mayhem at Memorial The Kamloops Venom are hosting a Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosee League game at Memorial Arena on Saturday, May 26.

Kamloops is hosting the Vernon Tigers (1-0-3) at 7:30 p.m.

The Venom were 2-0-0 as of KTW’s press deadline.

Kamloops visited Penticton for a game with the South Okanagan Flames on Wednesday night. Log on to kamloopsthisweek.com for the result.

The Venom opened the season with a 20-11 win over the Armstrong Shamrocks on May 12 and moved to 2-0 with a 14-8 victory over the Flames on May 13.

His CROSS to bear

By Dave Eagles STAFF REPORTER dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com

“D

“It’s not bad people doing bad things that’s ruining our society — it’s good people doing nothing,” says Calvin Foster.

Dave Eagles/KTW

ID SOMEONE DIE?” came the innocent question from a boy, calling out the open window of a school bus.

Before the man’s answer could reach those curious ears, the traffic light turned green and the boy on the bus drove off.

The answer? Yes, but he arose and is alive today.

Standing casually, with his right hand stuffed into the pocket of his jeans, his left hand clutching the nine-foot wooden cross, Calvin Foster is an strange sight to see at the busy intersection of Tranquille Road and Seventh Avenue.

From a distance, he appears a towering bear of a man, clad in denim and boots. Get within speaking distance of the six-foot-plus man and what becomes evident is the sparkle in his eyes and the soft, confident smile that pours from behind a silvery-white bearded face.

The grizzly becomes a teddy bear.

He is instantly approachable.

When asked why he stands, silent, holding a large wooden cross, Foster replies: “Lots of people advertise beer and cigarettes and other things.

Why not the cross? I’m not a particularly philosophical kind of person. I take the Bible literally. I refuse to do nothing.”

Foster describes himself as “born again — a Christian”.

It was in the early 1990s, while visiting a friend in Powell River, when he first began carrying a cross and standing up for his faith.

Holding onto a large wooden cross — belonging to his friend — he began what would become a lifelong journey of sharing his faith in God. The 54-year-old lives in Quesnel.

He likes his cross. Actually, he likes his crosses. He has close to 20.

This particular cross has travelled many miles — from Cape Spear and Tofino on Vancouver Island to the Arctic and through various towns and cities on the Lower Mainland.

Foster visits prisons and motorcycle rallies, where he sings and plays guitar and has learned to play the banjo.

All of his motorcycles have had crosses painted on the gas tanks.

He used to run a North Kamloops

LIFE

IN THE

LOOPS business called Shepard Cycle and Salvage.

His mother, brother, two daughters and a son live in Kamloops.

Another line of cars form, awaiting their turn to cross the intersection.

A middle-aged man leans out a van window, smirks and calls out to the man with the cross: “Why don’t you put that cross on your forehead?”

He points to his own head, tapping it repeatedly as if to drive home his point. He flashes a wide smile, as if enjoying his witty banter.

His intolerance is not lost on the cross-carrying roadside witness.

Foster stares back at the man in the van and flashes him a smile.

“You get all kinds,” he explains.

“It’s not bad people doing bad things that’s ruining our society — it’s good people doing nothing.”

Notes on: THE FINEPRINT ■ WHO: There’s no exciting story behind the choice of the name, said drummer Sean Schneider.

“Our singer [Jarrett Boyetchko] liked it, so that’s what we are,” he said, noting it gives them plenty of interesting potential for the name of the first album they’re working on. “Who knows? We could be Read the Fine Print or something like that.” Rounding out the band are EJ Rumley on lead guitar and Jordan McDougall on bass and backup vocals.

■ WHAT: They’re more of an alt-rock band, Schneider said, influenced by bands like Radiohead, Muse, Foo Fighters, Queens Of The Stone Age and Silverchair.

■ WHEN: The band’s been around for about three years, coming together through mutual love of music. They’ve all been — or still are — in other bands, ranging from Matt Stanley and the Decoys to the now-defunct Say It In Colour.

■ WHERE: The Fineprint is just starting to make itself known in Kamloops, having performed at Freddy’s Annual Charity Tournament on May 20. They’re at The Grind tonight (May 24) for an all-ages show with Calgary band Seventh Rain, are performing at Crush on

June 9 and are scheduled for a gig at The Dirty Jersey on Aug. 17. Tonight’s show starts at 8 p.m. and has a $5 cover.

■ WHY: It’s all about the music, Schneider said, about getting up on stage and performing, about

rehearsing and about creating their own songs, with Boyetchko taking the lead in the songwriting department.

■ HOW: How to follow them? Go online to http://www. reverbnation.com/thefineprint

TNRD film award-winners named Igor Kostin and Bruno Mazzotta have won the ThompsonNicola Regional District Short Film Award at the Kamloops Film Society’s Kamloops Independent Short Shorts (KISS) Film Festival.

The prize, worth $150, was given to short films that best depict a place, person or attraction in the TNRD in an interesting and compelling way.

“Kostin and Mazzotta should be commended for their original and very different takes on what they find fascinating about the Thompson-Nicola Regional District,”

said Vicci Weller, executive director of the Thompson-Nicola Film Commission.

“We also hope to see more films produced and directed from throughout the TNRD entered into the KISS Film Festival next year.”

Kostin’s humourous short film Unbreakable was shot in the style of the silent-pictures era and incorporates Kamloops’ Riverside Park in a playful way.

Mazzotta’s musicdriven experimental short film Mamania & the Trilobites includes the outskirts of Kamloops around Stake Lake as he travels the countryside, with the

While the animation is cute and funny, and the film an overall delight, the message is strong, according to Weller.

September Kuromi is still buying art — and, when Timeraiser holds its first event in Kamloops on Wednesday, June 20, she’s hoping to have about 17 works up for bids.

This isn’t, however, the usual write-acheque-at-the-end-of-the night auction.

Participants bid in hours they commit to volunteering at any of the agencies that are partnering with the project.

Kuromi said Timeraiser, which is based in Toronto and sees events happening throughout the country, is designed to raise awareness of the need for volunteering.

Twenty agencies are involved and will be at Cactus Jack’s Night Club on June 20 to provide information and sign up volunteers.

The agencies include: Kamloops International Summer School of Music (KISSM), Ridgeview Lodge, Kamloops Heritage Railway, Canadian Cancer Society, Kamloops Art Gallery, New Life Mission, BC SPCA Kamloops, Volunteer Kamloops, Big Little Science Centre Society, Overlander, Interior Health, RIH Afternoon Auxiliary, Family Tree Family Resource Centre, Big Brothers and Sisters, Operation Red Nose and the Kamloops Arts Council.

September Kuromi (left) and Linda McRae hang McRae’s art, Spirit of the Dance. The work is one of several that are part of the Timeraiser auction being held in Kamloops on Wednesday, June. 20.

As you may have heard, Ponderosa Lodge has opened an additional 33 temporary beds. We are optimistic that the introduction of these beds as well as a new approach to programming called “Pathway to Home” will allow us to transition some patients who no longer require acute care. The added short stay beds may also help prevent unnecessary hospital visits and admissions.

Pathway to Home supports the philosophy that the home, with appropriate supports, is the best place to recover from illness and injury, manage chronic conditions and live out Ànal days. The 33 beds are expected to remain open until

the new residential care facility opens next spring in Kamloops.

On another note, I want to publicly thank all RIH staff/ physicians involved in the May 5th Code Orange response. Hospital staff and emergency personnel were like a well-oiled machine in dealing with more than 50 people who came through the hospital as a result of a carbon monoxide leak at a local ice rink. We have had two Code Oranges now in the last several months and in both cases everyone’s professionalism and team work has been amazing. Great work!

While all employees have an important role to play in caring for our patients we had an opportunity to speciÀcally celebrate our great nurses this month during Nurse’s Week. As well, in April we recognized all the vital volunteers that offer their time here during April’s Volunteer Week. We couldn’t do it without everybody’s efforts and involvement.

Design flaw in cancer-care paddles The B.C. Cancer Agency has issued a letter to physicians and their patients who might be affected by faulty rectal paddle devices used during radiationtherapy treatment of some patients with cancer of the cervix between November 2007 and April 2012.

The agency will be informing 131 patients and their physicians about a design flaw that has been discovered in one of the components of the instruments used during radiotherapy treatment.

The problem with the rectal paddles was detected by the agency, which subsequently immediately removed the paddles from service and notified the manufacturer.

The manufacturer has now recalled the device. The rectal-paddle design flaw made it possible for a small amount of body fluids/

contaminants to be retained between components of the paddle over time.

Consultation with infectious-disease experts has determined the risk of infectious disease transmission is minimal; therefore, additional testing or treatment is not required.

The agency also noted the design flaw would not have had any impact on the effectiveness of the radiation used to treat the cervix cancer.

Keep saving those pennies for Peter Radio NL and sister stations The River and Country 103 have teamed up with CIBC and The Prostate Cancer Foundation of B.C. for Peter’s Pennies for Prostate.

Radio NL morning host Peter Olsen is fighting prostate cancer.

Donations will be accepted until June 15 at CIBC branches in Kamloops, Logan Lake, Merritt and Valemount.

EYE ON COMMUNITY

Welcome to KTW’s Eye On Community page, where we showcase through the camera lens, positive events in Kamloops. If you have a photo of a charity donation, a grand-opening picture or other uplifting images, email them to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com, with “eye on community” in the subject line.

BIG HEARTS: Teck Highland Valley Copper superintendent of environmental and community affairs Peter Martell (left) and senior community affairs officer Jacqui Schneider present a cheque for $10,000 to People In Motion executive director Heather Brandon at Big Steel Box. The donation makes room for more kids to be transported by bus to Cedar Lake Camp on White Lake, as bus space is freed up with the discounted purchase of a permanent Big Steel Box container — which was transported by the local storage company for free. Also, part of the proceeds will help to build a deck at the children’s’ summer camp.

VIVA AVIVA! It was all smiles as Aviva brokers presented the Kamloops United Church with $80,000 from the Aviva Community Fund as a result of an online voting contest.

The money will go toward building a new kitchen.

Pictured, from left to right: Mark McDermid and Rogan Andersson, Aviva Brokers, Rose Soneff, PIT Stop volunteer, Diane Stuart, PIT Stop Coordinator, Mary Ann Milobar, Vision 421 Capital Campaign, Sue Sewell, church council chair, and Garth Young, Aviva Broker.

“And, parents should remind their children not to play with or touch bats.”

Last year, 24 people in the region were treated for potential exposure to rabies.

Treatment, involving a two-week long period of vaccinations, is most effective when administered as soon as possible after exposure.

Without treatment to prevent its onset, rabies is almost always fatal.

All contact with bats should be taken seriously.

“Anyone who has handled a bat should contact their public health unit or their physician right away,” Jeyes said.

“Because bats have tiny sharp teeth and claws, their scratches or bites are not always visible and, in some cases, it can take weeks or even months for symptoms to appear.

• If you find a live bat in a room of your home, open the window and close interior doors until the bat leaves.

• Seek professional bat-control advice (from a pest-control or wildlife specialist) if your workplace or home is inhabited by bats.

• Avoid locations or activities where bats are likely to be found (e.g. caves).

• If you have a pet

dog, cat or ferret, make sure they are vaccinated regularly against rabies. Pets that were born and raised in B.C. pose a very low risk of transmitting rabies to humans; however, vaccinating your pets will protect them from rabies.

• If you have been bitten or scratched, thoroughly wash the wounds with soap and water and contact your local public health unit or family doctor immediately.

STUDENT OF THE MONTH

For many people, the Victoria Day long weekend offered the first chance to spend extended time in the great outdoors.

Are you planning to do more spring cleaning around the house?

Maybe you are heading to the great outdoors to open the cabin?

It’s important to know activities like these can result in contact with bats, the primary carrier of the rabies virus in B.C. Bats can fly into poorly sealed cabins and homes or roost in attic spaces. Between four and eight per cent of bats tested after coming into contact with people are found to have the rabies virus.

“If you come into contact with live or dead bats, it is very important to avoid touching them,” said Jennifer Jeyes, communicable disease specialist with the Interior

TRAVEL

Prague on the fly: A 48-hour sojourn

By Chris McBeath SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

S

OMETIMES a cab ride, like the one I took in Prague, is an adventure unto itself.

Although the railway station was only a few blocks from the Iron Gate Hotel in the heart of Old Town, the confusing journey along the city’s historic cobblestone streets took almost 25 minutes and, in the dark of night, there were moments I questioned where I might end up.

By day, however, all was revealed.

Our driver had been a Formula 1 master of Prague’s complicated, one-way, labyrinthine network of back alleys that crush up against buildings, cower beneath Gothic architecture and wind around picturesque squares.

Prague’s beauty is unparalleled, largely because it is one of the few cities on the continent to have avoided the destruction of war.

Then, hidden away behind the Iron Curtain for years, Western modernization never reached its perimeter.

As a result, Prague reflects almost an intact history with architecture running the gamut of Roman, Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance influences, alongside Cubic and even Soviet styles in its massive churches, cathedrals, castles,

palaces, theatres and bridges.

The Charles Bridge, which spans the Vltava River, is one of the city’s most-iconic landmarks.

First constructed of sandstone blocks in 1357, it stretches almost six football fields in length and links Old Town to New Town.

Anchored by two magnificent towers on either end — and with more than 70 sculptures on its deck — the bridge is home to an army of plein-air artists, musicians and street vendors so that the crossing is packed with diversions and photo opportunities.

Then there are the various statues to rub for good luck, including the strikingly handsome rendition of King Charles VI. Rumored to be gay — his four marriages were all dubious and politically motivated — Charles so preferred the company of men he banished women from the castle, even as servants, and left a legacy not only of beautiful architecture, but of establishing Prague as one of Europe’s most gay-friendly destinations.

It’s a fairly steep climb over cobblestones and up stone stairways to historic Prague Castle, so leave your stilettos at home.

As the largest castle complex in the world, Prague Castle is impressive

and includes St. Vitus Cathedral nearby, seat of the Archbishop of Prague and the resting place of several saints, kings, princes and emperors of Bohemia.

Be sure to visit Golden Lane (Zlata ulicka), a picturesque street of tiny 16thcentury houses, built to dwarf-scale because the small area had to accommodate 24 families.

The street earned its name from the alchemists who once lived there; its mostfamous residents included writer Franz Kafka and prophetess Madame de Thebes, who the Gestapo killed because she foretold the end of Nazi rule.

Whether on the climb up the hill or the meander down, the many cozy teahouses, artisan galleries and one-of-a-kind shops are a delight, especially those specializing in character marionettes.

Prague is, after all, home to the National Marionette Theatre that stages innovative family-style productions including Mozart’s The Magic Flute and Don

Giovanni.

Crossing the Charles Bridge back into Old Town, veer right and head to the Jewish Quarter (Josefov), a poignant section of the city that dates back to the 13th century.

The buildings here are among the bestpreserved Jewish historical monuments and synagogues in Europe, and include the OldNew Synagogue and remnants of the Jewish Ghetto from the Second World War. Though parts of Prague are modern, Old Town Square is still its hub.

Dating back to 1091, this large, open space is flanked by colourful pastel buildings, historical statues, the town hall with its astronomical clock and tower, and the Church of St. Nicholas, which hosts classical concerts most evenings.

Tickets are about $25.

Day and night, the square pulsates with activity: Tourists browsing the many market stands, Czech workers grabbing a

hot-off-the-cart salted pretzel or sugared donut for lunch and all manner of peoplewatchers at the many open-air restaurants.

If you have time to get lost, take any one of the narrow alleys that lead off from the square.

Some meander to street markets packed with candy stalls, fresh produce and puppets.

Others might weave past a street musician playing a grand piano (no kidding!), an open doorway to a flowerfilled inner courtyard or unusual architectural sconces and statues.

Prague is a photographer’s dream destination at the best of times but meander its labyrinth of one-way streets on foot — and that’s when the real adventure begins.

FAITH

The inbreathed spirit of Pentecost

O

N THE SUNDAY CLOSEST TO THE 50TH DAY AFTER EASTER, FALLING THIS YEAR ON MAY 27, MANY CHRISTIAN DENOMINATIONS OBSERVE PENTECOST SUNDAY, COMMEMORATING THE USHERING OF THE PROMISED HOLY SPIRIT UPON THE CHURCH. The record of the inbreathing of the Spirit into his disciples by Jesus is found in John, chapter 20: When Jesus had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”

This is the first message to the assembled disciples after Jesus rose from the dead.

Nothing is more wonderful in the New Testament than this mes-

NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH sage when we take it in all the surroundings of its utterance.

The words, “believe” and “receive” are two of the leading words in John’s gospel (cf. 1:12; 20:31). Believing is receiving and receiving is believing.

The simplest act that God enables and asks us to do is the act of receiving.

When Jesus said, “Peace be with you,” all we have to do is receive it. When he said, “I send you, as the Father sent

me,” all we have do is to receive the commission.

When he inbreathes his Spirit, all we have to is to breathe in what he breathes out. It is reception throughout.

On the day of the first Pentecost, as narrated in Acts 2, we find the same thought brought before us.

When they were all with one accord in one place, “suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind.”

No, it is not “wind.”

It is “breath” in the Greek manuscript.

Here is God breathing, breathing a rushing mighty torrent of breath.

By that torrent they were all filled.

What do we do in the act of breathing?

Two things: (1) We create a vacuum; (2) We fill the vacuum. We could not breathe in if we did not breathe out.

The lungs must be emptied of air before we can take in air.

In a similar fashion, if we want the Holy Spirit, we have to abandon every other dependence and appropriate His sufficiency.

Now, what are the effects of breathing?

They are comprehended in this — what is in the air outside comes into the lungs inside.

The same life-giving properties get inside us.

When we put the iron in the fire, presently the fire is in the iron.

The effect of putting the iron in the fire is that which is peculiar to the fire becomes peculiar to the iron.

The result of our receiving the Holy Spirit is briefly comprehended in this — that which is peculiar to the Spirit becomes peculiar to our own spirit.

We find it spread

out through the New Testament.

In Acts, the atmosphere that enveloped the disciples was the holy atmosphere of God. They breathed it. They were filled with it.

In Romans, chapter eight, Paul says: “The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.” This breath of God that comes to us is, first of all, the breath of life.

In the rest of Romans, chapter eight, we find that in the 39 verses there are 29 references to the Holy Spirit.

He is there represented as the Spirit of life, teaching us like a baby to walk and talk with God. “Abba” is the Aramaic word for “papa.”

And what is papa?

It is the first infant prattle which can only deal with consonants and vowels that do not need

teeth for pronunciation.

As the Spirit teaches us to walk and to talk, He directs our spiritual intelligence to the right objects.

That is spiritual-mindedness.

Then, the mind is fixed upon divine things, just as an affectionate mother turns the growing intelligence of the child to the things that are best calculated to awaken and nourish the finest order of thought and affection.

We could follow it all through the New Testament and show that there is not an epistle which does not manifest to us some new and glorious revelation of what it is to have the Spirit possess and control us.

The life that is impossible to us in the natural and carnal states becomes possible in the spiritual state.

If we have the Holy Spirit of God, His power

is ours. Do not care about feelings. It’s a fact irrespective of our feelings.

In the days of the underground railway in America, Canada used to get the poor slaves from the south by secretly — hiding them in cellars, conveying them at midnight from one hospitable house to another across the land.

One such slave had once found his way to Canada. When he stepped on English soil, he became a free man.

As his train moved into Toronto, Harriet Tubman, herself an emancipated slave who had helped hundreds of them to freedom, went in and saw the fellow crouching in a corner.

“Joe, you fool,” she said, “what are you cowering there for? You are a free man on free soil.

Praise the Lord, Joe!” narayanmitra @hotmail.com
