Relieved to know he is not a flasher There was nothing perverted about a man dropping his pants in the area of an Aberdeen school playground last month.

Kamloops Mounties say they tracked down the 68-year-old man who had creeped out parents of kids playing near Pacific Way elementary on two occasions in July.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the man, in Kamloops from India visiting family, told investigators he was simply urinating in public — and he didn’t see what the big deal was as the practice is, apparently, common in the Asian country.

Learned said officers explained to the man “the gravity of the allegations of him dropping his pants” and he has agreed to stop.

According to Learned, the man is scheduled to return to India this week.

Clement was in Kamloops on Wednesday, Aug. 1, and visited the venerable Battle Street music store to sample Miltimore’s new Riversong guitar line. Miltimore’s guitars were the focus of his entry earlier this year in the BDC Young Entrepreneur contest, in which he finished second, receiving $25,000 to help market and produce his product.

Aberdeen townhouse bid rises from defeat

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Changes to a controversial strata development in Aberdeen may have failed to sway those living near the project, but they were enough to convince Kamloops city council to reverse its decision on the project’s rezoning.

Council unanimously voted this week to rezone 2171 Van Horne Dr. from church to multi-family use, with four of the five councillors who had voted against the development’s last application flipping their votes.

The fifth, Coun. Pat Wallace, was absent from the Tuesday, July 31, hearing, as was Coun. Tina Lange.

Speaking on behalf of the developer, consultant Jane Mastin told council the project was redesigned “to try to address the concerns that were raised at the public hearing a few weeks ago.”

Changes include a reduction in the number of homes on site to give neighbouring properties more breathing room, more on-site parking and a reworked drainage system that will funnel water from the property into a nearby city gully.

However, residents living near the property, about 40 of whom were at the meeting, said changes to the

project don’t make it a better fit for their neighbourhood and they continue to worry about its potential to flood homes downslope.

Brent Campbell called the 58-unit development “overly intrusive” and damaging to the single-family neighborhood’s character — a complaint lobbed at the strata many times throughout the night.

“The process of urban planning should not make losers of the existing residents,” he added.

While several residents said they could see townhomes being built on the site without neighbourhood opposition, a four-storey apartment building planned for the southwest corner of the property seemed to be the source of many people’s worries.

“It can’t be a good thing because it will bring in renters,” said Hal Peterson, “which can’t be a good thing in a single-family neighbourhood, in my opinion.”

Resident Jordan Lawrence said she is disappointed to see green space disappear from the neighbourhood and added many living in the area bought their homes because of the church property nearby.

“I see no reason to pave all of Kamloops, packing us in like sardines,” she said.

“I think if we wanted to live in a city like Vancouver, we would all move there.”

Dawn La Pointe expressed concerns the city’s gully, where water will drain off the site, may become too overtaxed if water is diverted into it directly during rainstorms, rather than be allowed to soak into bare land and leech back out slowly.

“What if the culvert can’t handle the water, like everybody says?” she asked.

City staff said the drainage system in the area is more than adequate, noting the development being proposed should actually improve conditions for those living downslope.

City councillors said the changes to the development were enough to reassure them the strata project could move forward.

“What we now have in front of us is dramatically different in terms of number of units, setbacks, parking — and the drainage has changed significantly,” said Mayor Peter Milobar, who voted against the project at the first public hearing in May. “That, to me, is the significant impact on the dayto-day of a neighbourhood.”

Coun. Nelly Dever said the updated version of the development adequately addressed concerns from council and the public.

“Unfortunately, NIMBY-ism always prevails,” she said. “I wish it wasn’t that way, but it is.”

Police in the South Okanagan have recovered the body of a 12-year-old Kamloops girl who drowned in Skaha Lake on the weekend.

Penticton RCMP Cpl. Don Wrigglesworth told KTW the body of the girl was recovered on Tuesday, July 31.

She went under the water on the afternoon of Sunday, July 29, while playing with a number of family members. Attempts by nearby boaters to rescue her were not successful.

Wrigglesworth said the area where the girl drowned, near where the Okanagan River channel empties into Skaha Lake, is dangerous and is “wellsigned” to let swimmers know about potential hazards.

The investigation is now in the hands of the BC Coroners Service.

Coroner Barb McLintock has identified the girl as Ida Lynn Marie Holt Scherer.

According to McLintock, investigators are unsure if the girl is from Kamloops or 70 Mile House.

However, family members have told Black Press she is from Kamloops.

City celebrates new $15-million transit garage

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Dignitaries from three levels of government donned fluorescent safety vests on Tuesday, July 31, to unveil a $15-million BC Transit garage in North Kamloops.

“I drove in and I walked in and I just said, ‘Wow,’” said KamloopsThompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod, standing inside the brand-new seven-bay garage on Ord Road.

“It really truly is a state-of-the-art facility.”

The new garage replaces a 31-year-old four-bay facility and improvements include a fenced yard capable of holding 85 buses — up from just 40.

Equipment has also been upgraded, including new hoists, a scissor lift and an underground work pit. The previously time-intensive bus-washing system has been overhauled as well, cutting the process to 90 seconds.

McLeod said the shiny new facility fits in with the rest of Kamloops’ public infrastructure.

“Today, the infra-

structure in Kamloops, I think, is second to none,” she said.

“I don’t know that there’s another city that is so well-resourced.”

Provincial Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Blair Lekstrom attended the unveiling, noting the project is an example of what can happen when different levels of government co-operate.

“This is about three levels of government coming together . . . to deliver something not just for our buses and transit system, but the people who work in our transit system and the people we serve,” he said.

The Kamloops BC Transit garage employs seven mechanics.

Robert Vogel, who has worked as a mechanic at the garage for more than 30 years, said “the guys in the shop” are excited about their new set-up.

Vogel said the old garage was built for the old 30-foot buses — not the 40-foot vehicles in use today.

“This is a little bit longer,” he said.

“You have room to move. It’s a little more

convenient.”

Vogel said the Kamloops garage works on an average of two buses per day, the majority of the work being regular maintenance and cleaning.

According to provin-

cial figures, BC Transit had 3.6-million riders in Kamloops during the last 12 months — an increase of four per cent from the previous year.

The facility on Ord Road was built to withstand growth

over 25 years.

The old transit garage, located next door to the new one, is in the process of being demolished.

It’s slated to become a new City of Kamloops public-works yard.

Gimme shelter? It’s just a month away

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A contract switch-over is leaving Kamloops bus riders out in the open for the rest of the summer.

The city’s bus shelters were pulled out at the end of May, when the city awarded its new contracts for bus-stop shelters and benches to a new company.

The nine replacement shelters were due to be installed by July 31, but city transit planner Erin Felker said a “supply chain issue” has left contractor Creative Outdoor Advertising unable to meet that deadline.

The company will also likely miss its Aug. 31 deadline to

install 11 new shelters.

While the city waits, Felker said Creative Outdoor Advertising has agreed to cover the cost of putting nine city park benches at the shelterless stops.

Those benches were installed yesterday and the day before.

Felker said while there have been some issues, the new agreement the city has with its shelter provider is better for transit users.

In the past, she said, busshelter locations were chosen by the contractor based on what locations would bring in the most advertising revenue.

“So, with our new contract, that’s something we wrote in there,” she said.

“The city chose locations that

were good for transit customers, not necessarily advertising locations.”

In addition to the new shelters, the city is adding more benches to its bus stops. The first round of new bench installation will begin this month.

Under the agreement with the city, Creative Outdoor Advertising is responsible for maintaining, repairing and cleaning the shelters and benches, and will share a portion of its advertising revenue with the city.

“Even though we’re having a little bit of pain in this transition time, it’s a 10-year agreement for shelters,” said Felker.

“Over the course of 10 years, it’s going to be worthwhile.”

Treasury Board president on small-business tour

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

“I

’VE GOTTA GET MY PICK.�

That was the response from Tony Clement after Kamloops guitar-builder Mike Miltimore handed the Conservative MP and Treasury Board president one of his hand-crafted Riversong guitars to strum a few notes.

The tune that followed?

Good Riddance by Green Day. But, the title of the song wasn’t an indication of Clement’s feelings about his brief stop in the Tournament Capital.

Clement was in Kamloops on Wednesday, Aug. 1, stopping by Lee’s Music on Battle Street to take a look at the small business for which Miltimore gained recent acclaim in a federally sponsored entrepreneurial contest.

“I had resolved to, in my next Western tour, to maybe not necessarily always go to Vancouver,� Clement said, speaking to reporters after his impromptu jam session inside the music store. “I wanted to make sure I had discussions with small-business people in communities outside the major metropolitan areas.�

The stop at Lee’s Music followed an informal lunch meeting with Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar.

Clement wouldn’t get into what was discussed, but said he was left with a good impression of the city. “I just wanted to get a sense of how things were going in Kamloops,� he said. “What I got out of it was things are good in Kamloops.�

Things, he said, are also good — relatively speaking — for Canada’s finances. “We’re doing well relative to

some of our major trading partners,� he said. “But, there’s no question there’s still some major concern. “We’re not an island. We’re subject to the vagrancies of uncertainties.�

Clement said Canada will “stick to the plan� when it comes to federal finances — meaning a focus on job creation, immigration, training and small business. “Right now, we’re on a staythe-course mode,� he said. “But, we’re looking at the international situation all the time.�

After the stop at Lee’s Music, Clement, flanked by KamloopsThompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod, headed for Sun Peaks.

McLeod said they would be meeting with small-business operators to get a sense of what business is like in the mountain municipality.

Wildlife areas will, you know, tend to produce wildlife

W

HERE TO BEGIN? Go away for a few weeks and it seems like, in reviewing all the news that was inaccessible — thanks to the reality there is no Internet access or television coverage at the lake to which the Bass family escapes annually — lots of things have happened.

First, sticking close to home, there was a bit of a fluster out in Dallas when a homeowner came upon some coyotes.

Now, having just returned from the depths of Mother Nature’s environment — not to mention having encountered not only coyotes, but a trio of deer and a bear or two in my own backyard — finding wildlife in an area that said wildlife usually calls home shouldn’t be a surprise.

It’s why my cats are not allowed outdoors. That, and it’s a bit tiresome discovering the droppings of other outdoor cats who think my yard is a litter box.

But, that’s another column.

Still close to home, check out our feature on page B1 of today’s edition on two completely different tours of the same place — the site of the proposed Ajax mine.

The local representative for the Polish company that wants to dig the big hole just south of Aberdeen is taking people through the area, explaining the vision Ajax has for the open-pit mine.

That’s to be expected, but what is truly wonderful is that someone against the project has stood up and started doing the same thing.

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL Local environmentalist Tony Brumell is offering his own tours of the area, with his own commentary.

No matter where you stand on the issue, it’s good to see someone standing in the same parking lot — and standing up for his beliefs.

I know he’s not alone in speaking out, but the fact Brumell takes the time to give his own version of the tour is laudable.

Meanwhile, has anyone tried to find a parking spot at Thompson Rivers University recently?

For a public institution, it’s pretty darn unfriendly, parking-wise, for those of us who have to go there sometimes.

Even something as simple as adopting our dog from TRU’s animal-health technology program was a nightmare.

Every lot near that building that has spots for the public was full.

Now, being spry and energetic, it was OK to end up parking halfway across campus and trekking over to pick up the dog.

However, I have a friend who had an appointment with a professor at

TRU and ended up parking at the Real Canadian Superstore because of the lack of public parking on campus.

I guess the big hint here that the public doesn’t matter would be the fact there is no lot adjacent to the campus Grand Hall.

Time to move out of Kamloops in this catching-up column.

I’m betting Premier Christy Clark finally found her desk calendar.

That would explain why, all of a sudden, she’s stopped with the constant smiling and started with the campaigning.

After all, if things go the way they’re supposed to, we head to the polls 285 days from today.

Just days after declaring her government would remain neutral on the proposed Enbridge pipeline until the project completes a governmentrequired approval process, she blasts into Alberta and demands money to compensate for potential environmental problems before she’ll agree to the pipeline going through her province.

Clark’s posturing might have a bit more weight if she had ensured her government had a seat at the table when the National Energy Board debates the project.

But, when the time to do that arrived, Clark did nothing.

Now, down in the opinion polls, losing MLAs who can smell defeat and just nine months and 12 days till the next election, she speaks out.

Too little. Too late. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

As this newspaper went to press, vast swaths of India were only just having power restored after three days of blackouts.

The massive power outage in the massively populated country has led to various blame games and left up to 600-million people with a cruel reminder of just how reliant we are on the power-grid system.

Trains were left stationary on tracks, factories were brought to a standstill and the sweltering heat became all the more sweltering for those with no electricity.

The June edition of National Geographic has as its cover story the possibility that intense solar storms on the Sun could impact much on earth that relies on computerization.

From GPS systems to the power grid, the article (and similar documentaries on PBS and elsewhere) warned that, if Earth experiences what it did during an event in the 1800s, we could be sent back to a literal dark age.

And, imagining just how fast that genial neighbour can turn into a raving, violent survivalist is a frightening read.

If nothing else, the blackouts in India, like earthquakes closer to home, should offer all of us a reminder to be prepared for that day when our phones don’t work, our overs won’t turn on, our furnace won’t fire up and the food in our fridges will start to spoil.

Do you have an emergency kit in your home?

If the power went out right now, do you have enough food and water and supplies to last you a week? A month?

Probably not, which is why we should all use the India blackouts as a reminder to take a few hours to prepare for the worst.

AJAX is on your MIND

TALK BACK

On page B1 of today’s edition of KTW, reporter Andrea Klassen writes of her experience taking tours of the copper and gold mine property south of Aberdeen — one journey with an Ajax official; the second jaunt with an opponent of the proposed mine. On today’s letter page, we provide snippets of the longer letters we have received on the issue. These lettes can be read in their entirety online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

Editor: As the Ajax mine battle heats up, it offers an interesting case study in the use of propaganda and rhetoric to persuade we ignorant masses toward particular points of view.

And, because billions of dollars are at stake for a huge multinational mining company and the quality of life is potentially at risk due to the mine’s location perched

on and above the City of Kamloops, emotions and passions are running high.

The “yea-sayers” are accused of seeing only the pot of gold sitting in the midst of environmental armageddon, while the “fear-mongerers” with their Chicken Little notions simply don’t understand that it’s “jobs, jobs, jobs” that will keep Kamloops moving forward.

In the midst of all this, two recent and rather low-key events caught my mind’s eye.

A few months ago, a suggestion by Pierre Gratton, president of the Canadian Mining Association, that Kamloops has the “potential to become the hub of the mining industry for Western Canada” tweaked my curiosity as it seemed a rather lofty claim.

Then, the recent announcement that another mining exploration company, DiscoveryCorp Enterprises, was planning to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars this summer exploring the open-pit mining potential of the land just above the Pineview neighborhood left me questioning whether the Ajax mine was simply the starting point of a much

larger mining plan for the Kamloops region.

Unwilling to continue suspending judgment until the environmentalassessment process was complete, I set out on a research and discovery mission to find out as much as I could from the various perspectives.

Let’s all just slow down and evaluate the evidence Editor: There has been so much negative reporting about the possibility of a mine at the old Afton site that I think it is time for everyone to sit back and reflect a little about Kamloops, its past and where the future may take us.

I believe an open mind is key and a little look at the history of our fine city is essential.

I was born and raised in this wonderful city.

I remember when you entered Kamloops from the east at Battle and Columbia streets, a wooden arch declaring “Welcome to Kamloops” greeted you.

I also remember the steam engines huffing and puffing and spewing black smoke/soot as they hauled their products through Kamloops, and I remember when the first diesel locomotive started coming through.

I remember the amalgamation of the fringe areas being all brought together

to form Kamloops as we know it today (Dallas, Barnhartvale, Valleyview, North Kamloops, Brocklehurst, Raleigh, Heffley Creek and Westsyde, etc.)

Let’s wait and see what truths and insights the evaluation of the mine brings, Then we will have the really important information that we are all looking for.

David Barclay Kamloops

Where is the proof the project is truly needed?

Editor: As a concerned citizen observing the process, I believe some simple questions remain unanswered and some fundamental assumptions have been left unchallenged.

The proponents and supporters of the KPMG Ajax mine propose there is no substantial reason to not proceed with extraction of the copper and gold at the proposed site.

Tremendous efforts have already been invested laying the groundwork for the

BERT GATIEN 250-319-0227 1.888.374-3022 bgatien@telus.net

project and managing the community concerns.

Although the proponents of the mine have repeatedly identified the economic advantages of the project, KPMG Ajax and those who support their plans have failed to show that this mine is actually needed and that it is needed now.

The world has not yet run out of copper and gold.

There are numerous other mining projects starting throughout B.C, and these

projects will certainly make use of workers who have been displaced by the reduction in forestry based jobs.

These workers will certainly contribute to the economy with their ample salaries.

Considering the recent proliferation of other mining projects, the KPMG Ajax mine is simply not needed, and is especially not needed with any urgency.

Mountie charged with fraud suspended without pay

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A local Mountie accused of bilking a Kamloops big-box retailer out of $1,000 in a retail fraud has been suspended without pay.

Trent Wessner, a Kamloops-based constable with the RCMP’s highway patrol, was suspended with pay after

charges were laid against him in April. At the time, RCMP brass said they would apply to have him suspended without pay.

KTW has learned Wessner has been suspended without pay since July 3.

The 32-year-old Mountie is facing one count of fraud under $5,000, alleged to have purchased about $1,000 worth of stereo equipment from the store then lied to Costco staff about returning it.

He somehow wound up with the returned cash and the equipment, investigators have said.

The offence is alleged to have taken place between Aug. 25, 2010, and Sept. 15, 2010.

The charge against Wessner was sworn on April 16.

He’s slated to return to Kamloops provincial court for pre-trial hearings in December and January, with a two-day trial slated for Feb. 28 and March 1, 2013.

Financial planner who bilked investors has sentencing delayed

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Financial planner Ed Chieduch (right, with lawyer Matt Ford), has admitted to ripping off eight former clients of his. He will be sentenced on Sept. 13. KTW file photo

A disgraced Kamloops financial planner who admitted to scamming eight former clients out of more than $300,000 will have to wait more than a month to learn his fate.

Ed Chieduch’s sentencing in Kamloops provincial court has been pushed back to Sept. 13.

It was originally slated for late July.

The Crown wants Chieduch locked up for two years in a federal prison.

The 58-year-old used forged investment documents to swindle clients in a Ponzi scheme over a five-year span dating back to 2005.

During a hearing in June, court heard he told police he had been suckered into a socalled Nigerian email scam and was covering his own losses with his clients’ cash.

In 2010, Chieduch

had his licence pulled by the Insurance Council of B.C. — at about the same time a police investigation into his actions was getting off the ground.

Chieduch pleaded

guilty in May and was initially supposed to be sentenced on June 7.

That hearing was pushed back first to July and now to September.

In addition to the criminal charges, a

number of Chieduch’s victims have filed lawsuits against him.

He was also sued by the company from which he used to rent office space in a Victoria Street building.

City to display Ajax models

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

At least two new views of the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine are coming to the city of Kamloops’ website and buildings.

Council has agreed to use one of the city’s buildings to host a volunteer-built 3D scale model of the controversial copper and gold mine.

Hazel Mader, one of the volunteers behind the model — which has been on display at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market — said in a letter to the city the model isn’t intended to be a “a statement for or against Ajax,” but is instead a “community service project.”

Mader said the model is based on Ajax’s own proposal information and aerial photography from the city.

“Our position is that local

citizens . . . have the right to understand the magnitude of the project,” she added, suggesting the Tournament Capital Centre lobby might be a good place to host the display.

Councillors also decided to invite Ajax to show its own 3D model, which went on display at its Seymour Street community-relations office last week, on city property.

Arjun Singh said offering space to both models would prevent council from looking “unbalanced” on the issue.

“It’s a good idea to invite both,” added Marg Spina.

“I think it’s important that people have a chance to see, because we all learn in different ways and compare.”

Council didn’t say where or when the model will be displayed — that’s being left up to city staff.

Meanwhile, a new map of

the mine site south of Aberdeen is going up on the city website.

Coun. Nelly Dever, who worked on the map with environmental-services manager Jen Fretz, said the new graphic — which shows the old mining operations in the area, overlaid with the new Ajax site plan — is meant to answer one of the most common questions she gets about the project.

“I know for myself, personally, I was not educated on the size of the old Afton Mine,” she said.

“One of the biggest comments I get is ‘There’s been a mine in our backyard before.

There were no concerns before.

There wasn’t any big ruckus over it. Why is there a concern this time?’”

The new map will go up at kamloops.ca/ajax and will be posted along with other information comparing the two sites.

Recycler gets OK to build at Mission Flats A new recycling facility in Kamloops’ heavy-industrial area is moving closer to reality.

Kamloops city council agreed to hold a public hearing to see a 1.78-hectare lot at 1782 Mission Flats Rd. rezoned to permit the facility’s construction.

The lot, which is physically divided by railroad tracks, would also be subdivided into two parcels.

Development and engineering services director Marvin Kwiatkowski said the facility will process about 200 tonnes of recyclables a day, including glass, plastic, yard trimmings and construction materials.

“Everything’s going to be contained within the building itself,” he said.

“It sounds like a fairly sophisticated operation and a wellrun facility.”

Day-care centre expansion approved An application to bring a day-care centre that would host up to 75 children at a time to the corner of Hugh Allan and Copperhead drives. is moving to public hearing.

CITY HALL Under its current zoning, applicant Kamloops Kidz Early

Learning Centre would be limited to hosting 10 children at a time.

City staff support the project as long as there is enough onsite parking for staff and parents picking

up and dropping off children.

The project will also have to satisfy a list of Interior Health Authority criteria for daycares, including fencing requirements.

That is where a spouse or other family member, or even a colleague at work, can be of assistance: when you see these changes in someone you care about, encourage them to see a doctor.

When a physician is hearing about someone’s fatigue, appetite changes or sleep-habit changes, depression is one of the first things they are looking for, so you don’t even have to use the “D” word when you go there.

Along with Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Sheryl Crow, Billy Coogan (of the Smashing Pumpkins), Rivers Cuomo (of Weezer), John Denver, Eminem, Janis Ian, and Alicia Keys are only a few examples of musicians who report dealing with serious depression.

BANK MORTGAGE INSURANCE MAY BE A “COSTLY” MISTAKE Do You Know All the Facts?

When you purchase Bank Mortgage Insurance: • At the bank even though you pay your premiums, the coverage is NOT guaranteed.

• Your coverage DECREASES with every mortgage payment.

• The bank owns the policy, NOT you.

experience with depression, both during and after his lead-singing duties with Prism, and shared his opinion that mental illness is hidden in the rock world by the bizarre antics of some bands written off as headline-grabbing stunts.

Springsteen grew up in a home in which he says his father had depression and could well have been bipolar, but who refused to take his medications.

Springsteen speaks passionately about the distance he had from his parents and how he chose to turn that emotional pain into a “language and a purpose.”

Here are the signs of serious depression that Bruce Springsteen talked about: • Low mood.

• A marked diminished interest or pleasure in almost all activities.

• Significant weight loss/gain.

• Insomnia or hyper-

somnia (over-sleeping).

• Agitation or slowing of thinking, memory, etc.

• Fatigue or loss of energy.

• Impaired concentration and indecisiveness, or recurring thoughts of death or suicide.

The important thing to know is that there are a number of effective treatments for depression and, in some cases, depressive bouts get farther apart and much less severe if they do return.

It is vital to be assessed by a physician and receive treatment as early in the symptoms as possible to get the fastest results.

Of course, one of the problems with depression is that the very symptoms (low energy, lack of motivation, feeling of hopelessness etc.) contribute to people delaying a discussion with a doctor.

OINING THE ever-growing ranks of celebrities who admit a diagnosis of mental illness is Bruce Springsteen, who says he has been in psychotherapy for more than 30 years as part of the way he is coping with serious depression.

Springsteen sought help when he became suicidal just before hitting it big in the music world.

He recently told the New Yorker magazine that one “cannot underestimate the power of self-loathing in all of this [musical success]” and he claims his long stage shows are born out of “pure fear and self-loathing and selfhatred.”

Springsteen even went so far as to say, “I do not know a single artist who does not run on that fuel.”

What a statement!

Is depression or other mental illness that common in the rock world?

Throwing for glory

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

O

NE WEEKEND. THREE OLYMPIC DREAMS. Dylan Armstrong and Justin Rodhe, both Canadian shot putters, and American hammer thrower Kibwe Johnson — all of whom train at the National Throws Centre (NTC) in Kamloops — will chase gold this weekend at the Olympic Summer Games in London.

“This is something that I’ve been longing to do since I was a kid,” said Johnson, who was born in San Francisco and grew up in the Bay Area.

“My family members are big track and field fans and I’ve been watching the Olympics since I can remember watching TV.” Many Kamloops residents will have the tube switched on when local hero Armstrong guns for the podium on Friday, Aug. 3.

Should both the Westsyde secondary graduate and Rodhe qualify for the shotput final, they will compete for medals at about 12:30 p.m.

Johnson will attempt on Friday to qualify for the hammer-throw final, which is slated for Sunday, Aug. 5. at 12:20 p.m.

JUSTIN RODHE

KIBWE JOHNSON

Armstrong missed medalling by one centimetre four years ago in Beijing — he wants a top-three finish this time around.

“Coming that close last time . . . I’m going to try and do my best to make sure that doesn’t happen again,” said the 31-year-old behemoth.

“It would be nice to get a medal and bring one back for the community here in Kamloops.”

In his and Rodhe’s way are a few favourites: Defending Olympic gold medallist Tomasz Majewski of Poland, reigning world champion David Storl of Germany and three American powerhouses — Reese Hoffa, Christian Cantwell and Ryan Whiting.

Armstrong’s longest throw this year is 21.5 metres.

His personal best — a Canadian record — is 22.21 metres, set in Calgary last year.

It will likely take something close to or better than his highwater mark for the

2011 world championship silver medallist to reach the podium in London.

Johnson, Rodhe, Armstrong and female hammer thrower Sultana Frizell, who also trains at the NTC, did their final Olympic preparations in Albufeira, Portugal with Ukrainian throws mastermind Anatoliy Bondarchuk.

Qualification for the women’s hammerthrow final is slated for Aug. 8, with the final set for Aug. 10.

Each and every one of the Kamloopsbased throwers credit Bondarchuk — known colloquially as Dr. B — for much of their success.

“I wouldn’t be throwing as far or as consistent if it wasn’t for him,” said Johnson, who moved to the Tournament Capital in 2008.

“I probably wouldn’t be throwing any more at all.

“There was a period there where I needed to make some tough choices.

“If it wasn’t for

training with Dr. B, and the support of the Kamloops community, I’d be working in the real world.”

Pendrel watch Kamloops-based mountain biker Catharine Pendrel is favoured to finish atop the podium in the women’s cross-country event at the Olympic Summer Games in London on Aug. 11.

The race at 550acre Hadleigh Farm, located in the Essex countryside, will start at 4:30 a.m.

Cheer them on He’s Red, White

and huge.

That’s one way to describe Kamloops shot putter Dylan Armstrong, who will have the backing of an entire city on Friday, Aug. 3, when he goes for gold at the Oympic Summer Games in London.

Dino Bernardo and Chris Monteleone, co-owners of The Commodore Grand Café and Lounge, are inviting Armstrong supporters to their establishment for the event.

Doors will open at 11 a.m. and the hulking Kamloopsian is expected to take the screen at about

12:30 p.m.

Bernardo will be forced to turn people away once capacity is met.

The viewing party will double as a fundraiser for the Kamloops Track and Field Club and the Kamloops Broncos of the B.C. Football Conference.

TCC on board The foyer of the Tournament Capital Centre is also an Olympic Summer Games viewing area.

“We decided the other day that it would be fun to try and create some commu-

nity spirit and energy around the Olympics, particularly because we know we have five locals participating,” said Linda Stride, health and sport development supervisor with the City of Kamloops.

Stride said the 60-inch TV, couch and love seat are already being put to great use.

“The minute those couches arrived, we’ve had people on them watching the Olympics,” she said.

“I’ve had people who don’t even know who I am walk through the foyer and say, ‘This is great, oh my gosh.’”

SPORTS Another season of Kamloops Broncos football has arrived. The B.C. Football Conference squad opens its season against the Chilliwack Huskers at Hillside Stadium on Sunday, Aug. 5. Kickoff is slated for 4 p.m. Hope springs eternal — as it always does before the ball is snapped — and the Broncos are intent on reaching the post-season for the first time in franchise history.

The Broncos are back Do they have the horsepower to take the next step?

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

A revamped schedule, veteran returnees and a strong pre-season have Kamloops Broncos general manager Darryl Chow thinking postseason football.

“We’ve got to make the playoffs,” said Chow, who took over GM duties from club president Dino Bernardo in the offseason.

The Broncos are hosting their B.C. Football Conference (BCFC) regular-season opener against the Chilliwack Huskers on Sunday, Aug. 5, at Hillside Stadium.

Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m.

Kamloops is playing the Huskers and the Westshore Rebels of Victoria three times this season, as opposed to twice in the

2011 campaign.

The Broncos will only once meet the Vancouver Island Raiders of Nanaimo and the Langley Rams, with two scheduled meetings against the Okanagan Sun of Kelowna rounding out the 10-game season.

Chow is thrilled the BCFC decided to make the change.

“Teams like Nanaimo have massive budgets compared to ours and they were kicking our butts 70 or 80 to nothing,” he said.

“What’s that doing to football in general and what does that say about the league?”

at training camp this year, said Chow, but that might not be a bad thing.

“I know everybody is talking about our lower numbers, but what’s impressing to me is, because we’ve got so many veteran players, how polished it looks this early in the season.

“More kids are getting more reps.”

The Broncos took plenty of positives away from a 15-12 pre-season loss to the Okanagan Sun on Saturday, July 28, in Salmon Arm. “Offensively, we were way crisper and looking way tighter as a unit compared to last year,” said thirdyear quarterback Jesse Neufeld.

In two wins over Kamloops last season, the Sun outscored the Broncos 90-20, so a three-point loss — in a glass half full scenario

— could be considered a step in the right direction.

If the glass is half empty, it was just a pre-season game and the scoreline is not representative of what will happen when outcome counts.

The Broncos finished 2-8 last season and missed the playoffs for a fifth-consecutive year.

Both of Kamloops’ wins came against Chilliwack, which finished 0-10 for a secondstraight year.

Chow knows Kamloops can ill-afford a loss to the Huskers on Sunday.

“We haven’t started the season yet, but you talk about a must-win game . . . this will set the stage,” he said.

“We’d sure love to see a big crowd.

Chilliwack is a team we must beat.”

Dogs chase provincial title in Chilliwack

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

It seems like forever since pitcher Jordan Kealty closed out one of the most memorable games ever played at Norbrock Stadium, sealing the Kamloops RiverDogs’ first provincial title since 2007.

Kamloops edged the Vancouver Mounties 11-10 on July 31, 2011.

It was an edgeof-your-seat thriller nobody in attendance will soon forget.

What was forgettable was the B.C. Minor Baseball Association midget AAA squad’s performance at the 2011 Western Canada Baseball Association championship in Victoria.

The Dogs finished 1-3 and out of the playoffs.

Fast-forward one year and Kamloops has a chance to get back to the Western stage as the 2012 provincial championship gets underway today (Aug. 2) in Chilliwack.

“With those high expectations comes that added pressure and we’ve been trying to manage that as best we can,” said coach Sean Wandler, who only lost one player — pitcher Spencer Lord — to graduation after last season.

“Our philosophy this year is not to take anything for granted and play one game at a time.”

Kamloops, seeded second at the tournament, is in Pool B with third-seed Tri-City, sixth-seed Cowichan and seventh-seed Vancouver.

First-seed Victoria, fourth-seed Richmond, fifth-seed Chilliwack and eighth-seed Cloverdale make up Pool A. The RiverDogs went on a tear at the end of the season, winning nine of their last 10 league games, including a two-game sweep of top-seed Victoria, which finished the season 29-6.

Kamloops posted a 26-9 mark.

“We just wanted to keep getting stronger each week and it seems like we finished off on a real positive note,” said Wandler, who has been in the Kamloops dugout for 13 years.

“Hopefully, that carries into this weekend.”

Mike Gilfillan has been the go-to guy on the mound for the RiverDogs this season.

He will have the ball when Kamloops opens its tournament at 3 p.m. today against Cowichan.

will be the heart of the order — Colin Rintoul, Dylan Luison, Kyle Pouncy and Connor Kozak.

“That’s one thing we haven’t had difficulty doing this year is generating offence,” Wandler said.

The provincial final is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 5.

To the victor: A spot at Westerns, held from Aug. 23 to Aug. 27 in Sherwood Park, Alta.

For the eight graduating RiverDogs, it will be tough to keep

Alberta off the mind.

“It would be a nice feather in their caps to go out on a positive note, but our goal is just to go and play good, hard baseball and let the cards fall where they may,” Wandler said.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Enslaved by taxes?

Not really, based on lives of the rich and evasive

O

NE OF THE best taxavoidance tactics in the late Roman Empire was to sell yourself into slavery.

You didn’t really have to work as somebody’s slave, of course — it was more like rock star Hotblack Desiato being “dead for a year for tax reasons” in Douglas Adams’s wondrous confection The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — but, with the legal status of slave, you were exempt from taxation.

Nowadays, the legal manipulations used to avoid taxation are less dramatic, but they are spectacularly effective.

James Henry, former chief economist at business consultancy McKinsey and a member of the board of directors of Tax Justice Network, has just published a report, The Price of Offshore Revisited, that estimates the amount of wealth hidden in tax havens by the super-rich at a minimum of $21 trillion.

That would be $21,000,000,000,000.

It might be as much as $32 trillion, he added, but greater precision is impossible when the whole point of holding money overseas is to keep it secret.

Henry came up with this range of numbers by sifting through data from the Bank for International Settlements, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and private-sector analysts – and it does not even include yachts, mansions, art works and other forms of wealth held overseas.

It doesn’t matter.

The point is it’s a very large amount of money — equal to the annual gross domestic product of both the United States and Japan.

Some of it is the laundered proceeds of crime and much of it is money stolen from

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH national budgets by corrupt national elites (an estimated $306 billion from Nigeria, $798 billion from Russia, $1,189 billion from China), but most is deposited by the respectable super-rich of the West.

Henry’s report, published in the Observer last month, calculates almost half of the minimum estimate of $21 trillion is owned by just 92,000 people, some of whom pay no tax at all.

A number of very small places (Liechtenstein, Cayman Islands, Jersey) and a few larger countries like Switzerland make a good living by providing these secret tax shelters — and work very hard to protect their clients from exposure.

Back home, the “high net-worth individuals” also enjoy the services of “a highly paid, industrious bevy of professional enablers in the private banking, legal, accounting and investment industries,” Henry said.

We always sort of knew about it; now we know the scale.

Information of this sort is dangerous.

It annoys those who merely work for a salary or an hourly wage and whose taxes have to fill the gap created by the defection of the super-rich.

It might even destabilize the established social order.

But, the British government, at least, knows how to deal with that sort of thing.

Less than 48 hours after Henry’s revelations, British politician

David Gauke, one of the treasury ministers, went public with the assertion lower orders cheat on their taxes just as much as the rich.

“Getting a discount with your plumber by paying cash in hand is something that is a big cost to the revenue and means others must pay more in tax,” he said.

Well, yes, paying cash to a tradesman to get a discount (knowing he will then not report this income to the tax authorities) is something many people reading this article have done.

It is tax avoidance and, since there are a great many more of us than there are of the super-rich, these little private deals do add up to a serious loss of tax revenue.

Let him who always insists on a receipt cast the first stone.

Gauke was almost philosophical about it.

“Tax avoidance is not a recent problem,” he said.

“In the fourth century AD, the Roman Emperor Valens had to make it illegal for individuals to sell themselves into slavery to avoid tax.

“And, while this particular ruse seems to have fallen out of fashion, there will always be some who seek to shirk their civic duty.”

However, it’s clear enough to ordinary people that ultra-rich people who avoid taxes on vast sums of money by employing expensive experts to hide their wealth overseas fall into a different category from the electrician who wants to be paid in cash.

a place for everyone

And, hard-pressed governments, desperate for more revenue, are beginning to go after the tax havens.

Britain has made a deal with the Swiss authorities in which UK residents with undeclared assets in Swiss banks can make a one-off payment to the British Treasury of between 21 and 41 per cent on their total assets, clear the slate, and remain anonymous.

The Swiss will then levy a withholding tax of 27 to 48 percent on future money going into those accounts, which will also go to Britain.

Germany has negotiated a similar deal, although it is still awaiting ratification by the Bundestag (parliament).

The U.S. government has taken a different tack, demanding Swiss banks hand over information on thousands of undeclared accounts held by American citizens.

The heat is definitely on, and yet . . .

While all this was going on, the amount of wealth managed by the top 10 private banks, most of it held overseas in secret accounts, has more than doubled in the past five years.

A TALE OF TWO TOURS KTW’s Andrea Klassen twice visits the proposed Ajax mine site — with a proponent and opponent as her guides

Mining is already in backyards Grave future awaits Kamloops

“L

eaving Kamloops” the small white sign by the side of Lac Le Jeune Road declares — and the tour of the Ajax mine site officially begins.

For the remainder of the summer, proponents of the controversial copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen will be running chartered buses of curiosity seekers through the area four times a week, starting from the Inks Lake parking lot.

Armed with maps and four-wheel drive, they will head across the mine site as tour guides point out planned spots for buildings and the future edges of Ajax’s open pit and wasterock piles.

It’s 24 before the mine’s first public tour is set to begin and KTW is on the road with Ajax communityrelations manager Norman Thompson for a preview of the show.

While the public tour will begin at Inks, Thompson

points out mining landmarks with a practised eye as he heads off the highway and begins the short climb past the Iron Mask Trailer Park — a waste rock pile here, reclaimed. A pit-turned-lake there.

“If you go through these

“When we talk about how close to town, it’s in their backyards already.”

The excess water will drain out into Inks Lake and another water area on the other side of the pile.

petition calling on the federal government to put a stop to the mine.

“This is the future, so it’s all speculative,” he tells his audience.

“We don’t know a damn thing until it’s happened.

This is all speculation. It’s speculation on their [Ajax’s] part, too.”

Unlike Ajax’s tour, Brumell’s stays mainly in the parking lot and off private mine property.

From here, he’ll spend the next several hours painting a grim picture of Kamloops’ future over the mine’s lifespan and beyond.

“This will be an environmental graveyard,” he says, hands sketching out the lines of the proposed waste-rock and tailings piles, which he estimates will appear about level with Sugar Loaf Mountain from the Inks Lake lot.

“Three major headstones and the grave will still be open.”

Tour emphasizes Ajax’s plans to control noise “From all our tests, it doesn’t go anywhere from here,” he says.

“It just evaporates.”

Leaving the tailings pile, the tour heads towards Jacko Lake via an old haul road left over from Teck’s mining operation on the site in the 1990s.

When Ajax is built, Thompson says, the road will be decommissioned. Transport trucks from the Ajax site will instead connect with the Coquihalla Highway by another route.

“When you’re out fishing, you don’t want big trucks driving by.”

It’s one of several measures he says Ajax is taking to keep the lake going as recreation site — an oft-repeated public concern Thompson says the company is taking seriously.

Opposite the lake, the company plans to install a berm, which Thompson says will block the noise and sight of the mine’s processing plant.

Just beyond the berm, on a slight rise, copper and gold will be separated from the ore hauled from the pit.

And, just beyond that, there’s the northern waste-rock pile to try to visualize.

Roughly two-kilometres long and wide, it’s the portion of the mine that will come closest to the city.

At this vantage point, the signs of the old Teck operation are more apparent.

Long rectangular hills, greener than their surroundings, poke out of the ground.

“It shows you the landscape has been changed by man over many years,” he says.

Here, another berm is planned, walling up the edge of the pit and separating off the lake.

Below the road, a family of birds is swimming in the otherwise quiet water. The area is mostly empty of cars and fishing enthusiasts today.

“Those birds will have to move out a few feet,” Thompson quips.

Despite the proximity

of the mine, Thompson says Jacko isn’t at risk from the venture.

He points out three more stakes — well sites, drilled to examine how the lake interacts with groundwater.

So far, he says, there’s no sign it does at all.

The other edge of the pit is visible, with a bit of a squint in the morning sun, from the top of the eastern mine pit.

east waste-rock pile, Thompson explains.

From here, the tour doubles back on itself, back to Inks Lake and then beyond to the city itself.

But, there’s one more landmark on the way home: Wallander Lake, which forms the eastern boundary of the north waste-rock pile.

After 90 minutes of driving and pointing, about the same time as the public tour, it may be a bit simplistic — and hardly a new point in the

debate — to say the proposed mine is big.

But, as one looks back and forth between the map and the site, trying to imagine 150 metres of rock, a pile of toothpaste three kilometres across or those hundreds of football fields from earlier, it becomes the tour’s most pervasive message.

The site is massive in a way no map or 3D model quite illustrates, no matter which side of the debate created it.

With 24 hours to go,

Thompson says the first round of Ajax tours are full and the company will keep running them as long as there’s interest and the weather permits a 20-seat minibus to clamber over the ragged terrain.

“We’ll see what the response is,” he says.

To book a seat on the bus, which will run at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Thursdays and Saturdays, call the Ajax office at 250-374-5446 or email info@ajaxmine. ca.

BUSINESS

Emotional impact has to be acknowledged Brumell has nicknamed his talk the “Western Approaches Tour,” a nod to a naval battleground from the First and Second world wars.

And, as he describes his vision of the area’s future, a battleground is what it resembles.

While the north and east waste-rock piles will be reclaimed, “there isn’t a single tree on any of these reclaimed areas, because trees won’t grow on that junk,” Brumell says.

He pictures ground compressed by rock piles, too dense for groundwater to flow through, and rock piles filled with cadmium, asbestos and arsenic that could eventually leech into Kamloops Lake, given a century or so.

For Jacko Lake, Brumell’s predictions are more immediate.

“Jacko Lake will die in five to 10 years.”

Working at a mine in Timmins, Ont., Brumell says he remembers seeing shockwaves from blasting obliterate birds with unlucky flight patterns. He expects that same sort of shockwave will travel through the water of the lake.

“It probably won’t kill the fish, but it will stress them to the point where they won’t take bait,” he says.

Despite the grim predictions, what seems to impact his audience the most is a simple recitation of numbers pulled from Ajax’s own materials.

The biggest gasps and head shakes from the group come as Brumell is describing the boundaries of the tailings pile, which would rise just next to Inks Lake.

As the tour moves out of the parking lot, for a quick peek at Jacko Lake, he instructs the group to get into their cars and drive a small gravel road toward the Coquihalla Highway — about half the length of the tailings pile, he says.

Bumping along over potholes at 20 km/h, the drive lasts through oneand-a-half songs and a commercial break on the

Jacko Lake will die in five to 10 years.

”

radio — enough time to drive, e, fix your hair, drive, check for any new text messages on the h cell ll phone and then to drive a little bit more.

Because of the day’s small turnout (while more than 20 people have registered, few have braved the heat), the tour breaks up on the shore of Jacko Lake, but Brumell pushes on to the last stop.

Environmentalist and former miner Tony Brumell points out the dimensions of the tailings pile that would be built as part of the Ajax copper and gold mine to a tour group on Sunday, July 29.

A short drive down Goose Lake Road and he’s overlooking the mine site from the south, from the hills behind Sharon Antoniak’s house.

Wearing a “Stop Ajax” T-shirt, Antoniak admits right up front to being emotional about the issue.

“I’m a NIMBY,”

she says.

If the mine goes ahead, she says the atmosphere of her secluded home will be destroyed.

She’s worried for her grandchildren, who attend Pacific Way on the edge of Aberdeen, closest to the mine.

“I doubt anyone would put an elementary

school on the access road to Highland Valley Copper,” she says, referring to the massive mine near Logan Lake.

“It’s not going to just be me that’s affected.”

Brumell says stories like Antoniak’s are what originally got him interested in the Ajax process.

It’s these type of

losses he’d like those taking his tour to really consider — how will the city feel without this patch of grassland or that family of deer traversing the area? Without being assured of a silent jog past Inks Lake on a weekday morning?

“The biggest thing about this is emotional impact,” he says.

“To say we can’t discuss the emotional or visual impact of this mine is sticking your head in the sand.”

Brumell doesn’t have another tour planned at this point, but is encouraging people to grab a seat on the official Ajax bus, trust their emotional reactions and draw their own conclusions.

Free So Dancing through a life

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

It took Joey Nash two months — minus two days — to celebrate six decades.

The local artist said her latest painting, Can I Have This Dance For the Rest of My Life?, may be her best work to date.

It’s definitely one of her most personal, as the 30-inch by 40-inch painting was created to honour her parents, Mary and Frank Nash and their 60 years of marriage.

Mary said the title of the work comes from the first thing Frank said to her.

“He came up to me and said ‘Could I have this dance?’” Mary recalled.

The theme is circular; near Frank’s left ear at the top is a hibiscus bud to mark their budding romance, Joey said.

There is also a hibiscus in both renditions of Mary, chosen because she loves the flower.

From there, the painting progresses to the young couple starting life.

The four plumeria on the right represent Joey and her three siblings.

The flowers on the left represent grandchildren.

The Hawaiian-inspired foliage was chosen because the couple loves that locale.

Mary said while she knew her daughter was creating the painting, she didn’t see it until it was finished.

Joey delivered it to the couple’s Chase home late last month.

Kamloops artist Joey Nash has created a special painting celebrating her parents’ 60 years of marriage.

RECYCLING

ElectroRecycle expands in B.C. B RITISH Columbians are now able to recycle even more of their old or broken electrical products as ElectroRecycle expands its small-appliance recycling program to include new products such as power tools, sewing machines and exercise equipment.

Introduced by the Canadian Electrical Stewardship Association (CESA), ElectroRecycle (formerly known as Unplugged) was first launched across B.C. on Oct. 1, 2011.

ElectroRecycle is the first small-appliance and power-tool recycling program of its kind in Canada and the only government-approved small-appliance and power-tool recycling program in B.C. Besides small appliances, the program will now accept household electrical products under new product categories, including power tools (for example, hand-held drills), sewing/textile machines, exercise machines (such as treadmills) and leisure, arts & crafts devices (for example, electric binoculars).

“With these new product categories, ElectroRecycle will help divert even more electrical products from disposal to resource recovery,” said Brock Macdonald, chief executive officer for the Recycling Council of British Columbia (RCBC).

“The expanded program will also help municipalities spend less on managing waste.”

ElectroRecycle will now accept more than 300 different types of electrical products, ranging in size from electrical toothbrushes, hand-held drills and toasters to sewing machines, countertop microwaves and treadmills.

British Columbians can recycle their electrical products at more than 100 accessible and convenient dropoff locations across the province, which may differ based on size of product being recycled.

Drop-off locations are located at private recycling drop-off centres, local government sites, and service organizations like the Salvation Army.

“We applaud B.C.’s manufacturers and retailers for expanding this important recycling program to include even more products,” said B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake.

“B.C. is already a leader in recy-

cling programs and ElectroRecycle’s expanded program helps further strengthen this position and promote our tradition of conservation.”

Recycling plastic, glass, metal and aluminum through ElectroRecycle offers a number of environmental benefits, such as saving energy.

For example, it takes 95 per cent less energy to recycle aluminum, 74 per cent less energy to recycle steel and 30 per cent less energy to recycle glass.

“We are very pleased to expand ElectroRecycle and provide British Columbians with a comprehensive

and convenient recycling program,” said Darrell Clarke, president of CESA. “Now with an expanded list of accepted product categories and a province-wide network of convenient drop-off locations, most British Columbians can responsibly and effectively recycle more of their household electrical products as part of

their regular routine.”

B.C. has a long history of recycling programs.

Over the past year alone, British Columbians have diverted nearly 20,000 metric tonnes of electronics, 40,000 tonnes of tires and more than one-billion non-alcohol beverage containers from landfills.

After an electrical

product is brought to an ElectroRecyle drop-off location, it is transported to processors within Canada and separated into different materials that are then recycled.

The separated products are sold as commodities and used to manufacture new products.

CESA has partnered with B.C.-based Product Care Association (PCA)

to set up and operate ElectroRecycle throughout the province.

A full list of accepted products, including new product categories and fees can be found at electrorecycle.ca.

Residents can also receive program updates and submit their questions through the online Ask ElectroRecycle button, or find a drop-off location.

TRAVEL

Roughing it in luxury — seven B.C. retreats

By Jane Cassie SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

E BOTH LOVE THE GREAT OUTDOORS BUT, WHEN IT COMES TO DOING THE ‘CAMP THING,’ MY HUSBAND AND I DON’T QUITE JIVE. Although he’d be content to cuddle in a mummy bag of eiderdown, my spine goes into spasm after sleeping on a mattress of earthy rough stuff.

I’m also not crazy about canvas homesteads or baked beans.

Thanks to these luxurious rural retreats, we can leave those tent pegs behind.

While blending the rustic and refined, these B.C. properties offer a motherlode of outdoor adventures and pampering at the same time.

Albreda Lodge Mountain-mania, heli-style.

Visiting powder hounds are whisked away to this posh lodge in the Monashee Range.

The property, created by heli-guru Mike Wiegle, offers everything from steep and deep to apres-ski seductions.

De-stress at the full-fledged spa, refuel on chef-prepared cuisine, then heli away to snow-riddled peaks.

You’ll surely catch big air and get a good run for your money.

Echo Valley Ranch and Spa Calling all luxuryloving cowboys and cowgirls.

If you want a rustic dude ranch, then steer your stallion in a different direction.

If you’re fancying five-star accommodation, cuisine and spa specialties, with a unique east-west blend, then giddy-up to this getaway.

After riding the range, hiking to neighboring peaks and reeling in a fresh daily catch, bowlegged city

Among some of the best getaway spots in B.C. are Albreda Lodge, with its heli-skiing, and Sonora Lodge, which features an oppulent main area. Jane Cassie photos

slickers will discover true bliss at the Baan Thai Spa.

Elisi Spa and Wilderness Resort Safari or spa?

Try both and more at this hedonistic flyin enshrouded by the northern Rockies.

Check out moose, elk and wolverines while on a photo-shoot safari.

Catch an exhilarating wave on riverboat ride, hike, bike or ride horseback to florafilled meadows.

When the day is done, the mountain magic makes its way into eight guest rooms, a high-tech gym — and an awesome spa.

King Pacific Lodge One heavenly houseboat!

From May to September, this floating wonder comes alive when anchored next to uninhabited Princess Royal Island.

Although remotely sandwiched between the Great Bear Rainforest and sapphire Pacific, this retreat boasts all the bells and whistles of a boutique hotel.

Seventeen deckedout rooms lure adventuring anglers and romantics.

Soaker tubs, steam room and soothing massage are perks at the end of each day — along with a starry sky.

Nimmo Bay Resort Finding Nimmo is

like discovering paradise.

This secluded fly-in hideaway near Port McNeill caters to every breakaway whim.

As well as dishing out lots of hospitality, the Murray family knows how to tailormake any adventure.

Whether it’s helifishing, heli-rafting, heli-trekking or heliday trips to check out wildlife, waterfalls or whales, when combined with its cozy abodes and fingerlicking cuisine, you’ll have a good time.

Sonora Resort Hardly roughing it, this fisherperson’s paradise reels in wilderness seekers to its isolated locale on the Inside Passage.

Guests can cruise the Pacific blue, where arching orcas and trophy-size salmon hang out.

Others may take flight to check out grazing grizzlies, virgin ski slopes and heaven-bound hikes.

And, when these eco-hounds return to their luxurious home base, they’ll magically transform into culinary experts and spa denizens.

The Hills Health Ranch For renewal, head to The Hills.

This holistic haven provides a kickstart toward achieving a healthier lifestyle.

Shed a few pounds

and build a little muscle.

Amidst its 20,000 acres of Cariboo ranchland, there are daily fitness programs, 18 spa-treatment rooms, three lounges and professional guides for hiking, riding, canoeing and biking.

With a team that includes kinesiologists, personal trainers and body therapists, how can you go wrong?

Ah, roughing it with a little luxury.

It sure beats waking up in a clammy mummy bag with four stiff limbs.

Yes, this is my kind of camping!

Time for a food-finding expedition

P DARCIE HOSSACK Bon APPÉTIT

LANS CHANGE. What at first was meant to be a trip with family to Hawaii became an Alaskan cruise for two.

Then, before we booked passage, before we signed up for the King Crab-fishing day trip, the family-style buffet seating and intimate lounge acts or decided whether it was best to buy or rent our gold-panning equipment, two things happened.

First, we watched someone

else’s video diary of their cruise vacation.

And, having seen that, we soon realized cruise vacations are better enjoyed by people who enjoy people.

People, for example, who show off their cruise vacation videos to disinterested strangers.

The kind of people who might wish that someone would turn up the music in the mall.

Who make nice with door-to-door salesmen peddling steak knives and vacuums, whether or not they themselves have teeth or carpets.

We are not those kind of people.

Rather, for all our attempts to fit the mould when it seems required, we are, in fact, people who don’t know how to excuse ourselves from circular conversations with those

kind of people.

Who don’t want to bruise anyone’s feelings and, therefore, get trapped in the limbo of conversations we don’t want to have.

At home, we prefer the self-checkout lane and dinner for two.

Sometimes, while waiting for our appetizers, we use the paper napkins to scribble diagrams for the elaborate moat (moat monster included) we dream of one day excavating around our house (harder for a rowhouse than you might think), to keep away pedlars and drop-in-visitors alike.

But, I digress.

Canning preserves farm-fresh food A few basic tools and tips for pickling, canning and preserving will put you right into the movement toward better quality control — and will give you the tastiest supply all year.

This trend for more control and responsibility is best seen with the popularity of organic

products, with an increase in backyard vegetable gardens, with the support of local farmers and the popularity of environmental causes like the 100-Mile Diet, where participators will only eat food produced within a 100-mile radius of their home.

The canning process is

was only one place we wanted to go.

“Cancun, right?” guessed the first, second and third people to know about the tickets.

“Mazatlan? You have to go to Mazatlan,” said another.

“Maui?”

“Vegas?”

“Palm Springs?”

“Orlando?”

Every guess was as wrong as the others, as we had also not chosen St. Martin, Nassau nor Montego Bay. Rather, we decided to use our tickets to see more of the country we love and take a food-finding expedition to Halifax and Charlottetown.

Once there, we expect to learn a lot about seafood and we already know there’s a lobster roll in our near future.

Meanwhile, we’re trying a recipe said to be a staple in every proper Nova Scotia cookbook.

It’s a lovely dessert with a horrible name, which we hope you enjoy as much as we just did.

If it’s any indication of what we’re about to experience, I think we’ll be happier than the lobster that avoids becoming our lobster roll.

It’s always tempting to buy far more produce at a farmer’s market than one can eat, simply because the fresh taste of just-picked fruit and vegetables is so much better.

Enthusiasts don’t hold back, however.

They say you can if you know how to can.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPE ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Sometimes as challenging as life can be, you take chances and push yourself further, Aries. This could prove a week to do some risk-taking and exploring new ideas.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 More enjoyable things are on the horizon, Capricorn, and you could find yourself distracted by so many enjoyable activities. Try to schedule one per week.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 It could take a lot to raise your ire this week, Taurus. However, if your mood is already set to simmer, you may have a full-blown boiling over at the slightest taunt.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 No one can solve your conflicts better than you, Aquarius.

Although your options seem to be a little stifled as of late, you’ll find the way to impart changes.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 It is easy to bury something and ignore it, Gemini, but it’s not always easy to face a problem head-on. Make an effort to figure out issues that keep recurring in your life.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 The planets are giving you the cosmic go-ahead to get things done, Pisces. So don’t delay your actions any longer.

TERRIBLE LIZARDS TANTALIZING Best buddies Braydon Gough (right) and Lucas Bonato (top photo) attended the recent A Dinosaur Thing camp at the Kamloops Museum and Archives. Those attending were give a lump of clay, which, when broken open, revealed sample dinosaur pieces the kids then assembled, as would a palentogist, into a whole dinosaur. After this, the kids used plaster to mould a replica fossil of a dinosaur model they would later paint. Also attending were brothers Mateo (left) and Luca Bruno (bottom photo). The siblings were in the right frame of mind, having just returned from a visit to the dinosaur displays in Drumheller, Alta.

FAITH

Take a chance on helping Christianity

T

HOUGH GAMBLING IS ONE OF THE MOST-SERIOUS PROBLEMS TO HIT OUR SOCIETY, THE CHURCH IS STRANGELY SILENT ON THE SUBJECT. We are told in the media compulsive gambling has reached epidemic proportions.

The provincial lotteries have started a gambling frenzy like we have never seen before.

In nearly every province, barriers against legalized gambling have fallen, one after another.

NARAYAN MITRA One magazine stated “gamYou Gotta Have bling is the No. FAITH 1 desire of our nation.”

In one form or another, gambling is becoming a daily routing for literally tens of thousands of Canadians.

Those most easily victimized are millions of new gamblers who cannot control their desire to gamble away their entire earnings.

It is interesting that even Christians who want to argue in participating in gambling often refer to the Bible’s use of “casting the

lot” as their justification.

No doubt the phrase is in the Bible, but it deals with decision-making and not with regards to gambling (e.g., Prov. 16:33; John 19:23,24; Acts 1:21-26).

In other words, human methods for determining matters must be understood in light of the sovereignty of God. So, what does the Bible really have to say about gambling?

Here are some implications on its nature: • Gambling contributes to a person’s lack of contentment (1 Tim. 6:6-8).

The Bible says godliness with contentment is great gain, but gambling feeds on greed and desire which is opposed to contentment (see also Prov. 15:16).

• Gambling causes a person to fall into temptation and carnal desire (1 Tim. 6:9).

Again, the Word of God tells us that “those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.

Anyone who has ever promoted gambling knows it is fuelled by a desire to get rich quick, which leads to other temptations later.

• Gambling conditions a person to accept and tolerate sinful attitudes and actions (1 Tim. 6:10).

The Bible tells us “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.”

People who have been involved in illegal gambling have confirmed any kind of gambling does something to a person that makes them more receptive to other things that involve compromise.

• Gambling changes a person’s commitment to spiritual things (1 Tim. 6:10).

In the above passage, Paul condemned some who “have strayed from the faith in their greediness.”

Gradually, we become dominated by our desire to be rich and to get ahead in life, whereas we are to flee these things and to pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience and gentleness.

• Gambling contradicts spiritual qualities that a godly person should pursue (1 Tim. 6:11).

Prov. 10:2 reveals that “treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.”

The church needs those who are willing to forsake the world and its empty dreams and to seek more of God and His son Jesus.

• Gambling controls our heart and our system of values (Matt. 6:19-24).

Jesus said that where our treasure is, there our hearts will be also.

Instead of regularly putting away money down on lottery tickets, let us use that money for the Lord’s purposes in His work.

Can we imagine what the cause of the

gospel would experience if just a fraction of what is spent on lottery tickets was spent on spreading the message of Christ?

• Gambling could characterize us as guilty of covetousness (Ex. 20:17; Eph. 5:5; Col. 3:5).

This is the worst accusation against gambling.

The Bible repeatedly calls covetousness a sin.

It even equates it with idolatry.

Why? Because a covetous person worships wealth and material things as opposed to God. Covetousness is something that should not even be named among believers.

Yet, we stand still while lotteries and legalized gambling promote and capitalize on that same sin of covetousness.

Gambling is a clear violation of God’s moral and righteous standards and has no place in a believer’s life in any form. narayanmitra@hotmail.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

Kamloops Kidney Walk Sunday, August 26th 2012 Riverside Park George was living in a windowless garage where he was living with a cow, alpacas, sheep and chickens when he was rescued in the Winter of 2011. The farmer was starving the animals that he did not want anymore and was not providing any medical attention to George who had a serious injury to his rear hoof. If you are interested in sponsoring George to assist in his care and rehabilitation please contact the Donkey Refuge at 250 679-2778.

Visit George Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday 11:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m.

Sponsorship dollars are amounts paid to a registered charity that are not gifts because the sponsor receives something in exchange. They are usually paid to support a charity event in return for advertising or some other consideration. In this situation, the business has not made a gift to the charity and the charity cannot issue an official tax receipt. The business can usually claim the payment or the value of the merchandise as a business expense.
