RIVER CITY HAS APPETITE FOR RIBFEST Debi and Ivan Wilson of Kamloops were just a few of the many satisfied customers who took in the inaugural Kamloops Ribfest at Riverside Park on the weekend. Five barbecue teams from Canada and the U.S. rolled into town to create culinary magic for three days.

In fact, the event was so popular that organizers ran out of ribs on Saturday night, a hiccup that speaks to Ribfest’s roaring success.

The three-day festival was organized by the Kamloops Daybreak Rotary Club and sponsored by Interior Savings Credit Union, with proceeds going to various charities in the city.

Security of online voting cited as a concern

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

He’s spent the summer chatting with voters via Twitter and a web-based video feed but, when it come to actually casting ballots, Coun. Arjun Singh is still a fan of the voting booth.

“I like the idea of being able to go into a booth where some other people are there and they can monitor whether people are being influenced or coerced,” Singh said.

The B.C. government has announced it will ask the province’s chief electoral officer to strike an independent panel to examine Internet voting.

Attorney General Shirley Bond said adding online voting to the range of options in B.C. could improve accessibility in elections — which could improve voter turnout that sagged to less than 30 per cent on average in the last round of B.C. municipal elections.

The panel will examine “best practices” for online votes in other provinces and jurisdictions.

However, critics of online voting argue there is

more room for manipulation — or, just as problematic, claims of manipulation.

“It can be too easily hacked at the moment. Any electronic voting can be hacked. It’s not secure,” said Derek Cook, a political scientist at Thompson Rivers University, who points to online attacks that caused delays and party frustration during the federal NDP leadership vote in March.

“What happens if a group claims to have hacked a result, whether they did or not?”

That’s a concern Singh shares, but he’s also worried an online system could leave voters more vulnerable to coercion from friends, parents or other family members, should they not have the luxury of logging onto their computer in complete isolation.

“One of the perks to our system now is you have to go on your own into a little bit of an enclosure,” Singh said. “I like the idea of doing that.”

But, should the province manage to work out security and privacy issues, Singh does think online voting could help raise voter turnout in the city.

“It’s such a convenient way of voting that it could

help us make it more accessible to a lot of different people,” he said.

Coun. Donovan Cavers told KTW he has similar concerns about the security of online voting, but said he would push for it to be adopted in Kamloops if the B.C. government can come up with a successful model.

“A lot of people have really busy schedules and voting’s not top of their priority list, so if you make it easier for them to do, more people, I assume, would participate,” he said.

Internet voting has been tried in other parts of the country, though not without some difficulties. During a round of local elections in Ontario in 2010, an online voting system being used by more than 30 local governments crashed, leading some communities to extend their voting period by up to 24 hours.

In 2008, Halifax added Internet voting during advance polling in an effort to boost turnout in its municipal election to 50 per cent. Turnout actually dipped to 37 per cent from 48 per cent in the previous election, in 2004.

Have you seen this teenager?

Kamloops Mounties are looking for the public’s help in tracking down a local teen missing for more than two weeks.

Dylan Lawrence Ginther hasn’t been seen since July 28, when he left the downtown Kamloops home at which he had been living.

Police believe the 16-year-old is still in Kamloops, probably staying with friends.

“Our feeling is he’s just gone off and doesn’t want to be home,” said Kamloops RCMP Const. Bernie Ward.

“It’s just too long.

He’s 16 and should be checking in at home.”

Anyone with information can call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

They steal their sunglasses at night Police are looking for a pair of shady crooks after a couple was mugged for a pair of sunglasses in a Sahali park.

Just before 10 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 12, Mounties were called to Albert McGowan Park on Summit Drive in Upper Sahali.

A couple walking in the area told investigators they were approached by two men who claimed to have a knife.

The thieves demanded valuables, but all they got was a pair of glasses.

“No weapon was produced and no one was injured,” said Kamloops RCMP Const. Bernie Ward.

The suspects are both believed to be men in their early to mid-20s.

One is described as white with a fair complexion, standing six feet tall and wearing shorts, flip flops and a gray hoodie pulled tightly around his face.

The second is believed to have darker skin, standing five-foot-eight and wearing a dark hoodie and blue jeans.

Anyone with information can call police at 250828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Trial begins less than year after cop stabbed, inmate blinded

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Wearing a red prison jumpsuit with his stocking feet shackled at the ankles, an accused murderer from Edmonton was escorted by two sheriffs into a Kamloops courtroom on Monday afternoon (Aug. 13), one day before the start of what is expected to be two weeks of trials.

Mark Lindsay is facing two counts of aggravated assault — one alleging he stabbed an undercover RCMP officer during an elaborate sting last September;

the other stemming from an altercation inside a jail cell at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre weeks later that blinded an inmate.

The brief appearance was a formality, at which a B.C. Supreme Court judge told the suspected killer he was being remanded in custody until the start of his trial.

Beginning today, the Crown is expected to call evidence from the undercover Mountie allegedly stabbed in Barriere on Sept. 21, 2011, three other RCMP officers and a B.C. Ambulance paramedic.

Lindsay, the son of former Edmonton police chief John Lindsay, was arrested by Kamloops Mounties shortly after the altercation.

In a series of exclusive jailhouse interviews with KTW in December, the 25-year-old was adamant he had no idea the person with whom he was travelling was an undercover Mountie.

The Crown expects to wrap its case against Lindsay regarding the undercover officer as early as Wednesday, Aug. 15.

Next week, Lindsay is slated to stand trial on

MARK LINDSAY: Accused killer facing assault charges.

a separate aggravated assault charge relating to an alleged jail-cell stabbing in October — an incident that left 21-yearold Michel Fougere, who had been Lindsay’s cellmate, blind in one eye.

In March, police in Alberta announced they had laid a second-degree murder charge against Lindsay in relation to the death of Dana Turner, his former girlfriend.

Turner, 31, went missing on Aug. 14, 2011 — two days after Lindsay was released from an Edmonton jail after serving a 50-day sentence for stabbing her in the head.

It is believed the undercover operation was in relation to Turner’s disappearance.

Turner’s body was found last October in a farmer’s field near Red

Deer in central Alberta.

Lindsay is due in an Alberta courtroom in

Bagged hydrant no concern Fire department denies its ability to fight Dallas blaze was compromised

equate water supply or he decided hand lines were more important.”

Firlotte said the bagged hydrant on Hillview Drive was taken out of service in April and is due for replacement in the next month, as repair crews go down a list of hydrants in need of similar work.

“It’s un-rebuildable,” Firlotte said.

The Mountainview Drive hydrant is also now bagged, after post-fire testing showed it is leaking, likely due to a broken flange.

“It will leak if it’s operated, but it does still work,” said Firlotte.

“That information goes to the fire department, so they’re well aware, if there was another fire on that street, it will operate, but it will leak a bit.”

That hydrant should be repaired shortly, he said.

Investigators were able to determine the location of the fire, which began in a rec room in the northeast corner of the west house.

Guertin said there’s no evidence the fire was suspicious, but no evidence of any other cause, either.

“There was nothing we could find on scene to suggest that it would have been electrical or anything else,” he said.

Damage to both houses was extensive.

“We’re going to do an assessment with the insurance company in the next couple days but, I would think they’re probably going to be total rebuilds,” Guertin said.

As firefighters battled a blaze in Dallas that would eventually destroy two homes, one nearby fire hydrant stood bagged and unused.

While the out-of-service hydrant has one neighborhood resident concerned, Kamloops Fire Rescue denies its ability to battle the flames on the afternoon of Aug. 3 was compromised.

Brian Giles, whose house sits near the two affected, was on the scene of the Hillview Drive blaze within minutes and recorded it on video.

Giles said he watched the first fire truck to arrive drive past the fire and circle the block so it could hook up at another hydrant, located on nearby Mountainview Drive.

He’s worried that cost Kamloops Fire Rescue valuable response time and may have created another problem he observed: The large water cannon on the first engine on scene only seemed to be working half the time.

“They only used it, if I’m generous, I’d say 50 per cent of the time,” he said.

“My question would be, ‘Why weren’t you just pouring the water onto this fire?’

“As a taxpayer that funds these fire trucks you’ve got to wonder, is that the best they can do?”

Fire Insp. Sheldon Guertin confirmed there were some

water-pressure issues during the Dallas fire.

But, he said, hooking the truck up to the Mountainview hydrant cost responders “less than, probably not even 30 seconds,” because they were already aware the other hydrant wasn’t working.

Guertin said it’s not uncommon for the trucks to drive to a hydrant farther up the block if it means getting a better waterflow rate — but, in this case, the hydrant wasn’t farther away from the fire.

Both it and the bagged one were 112 metres from the houses, he said.

Guertin and city public-utilties manager Micheal Firlotte both told KTW the position of the hydrant wouldn’t have changed the water pressure available.

However, Guertin said there are a few other factors that could have contributed to pressure issues during the Dallas blaze.

“Depending on how many lines were coming off the truck, that might affect the flow.

“The other thing that would affect the flow of water is if other people in the area were using water or anything like that. There’s lots of factors to it,” he said.

“It’s always easy to armchair-quarterback a fire after the fact and question people’s strategies and tactics,” Guertin said.

“The officer made a choice at that time and, for some reason, there was maybe inad-

Kamloops woman a YouTube star

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Micaela Braithwaite left Kamloops for Japan in her senior year of high school in 2005, she wasn’t planning on a seven-year stay — or a career as a viral video sensation.

“I was was taking Japanese at SKSS [South Kamloops secondary] and I thought it would be an exciting way to spend my Grade 12 year,” Braithwaite told KTW via email from Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.

MICAELA Though she returned BRAITHWAITE home to graduate, Braithwaite returned to Japan soon after, teaching English on a working holiday visa.

“I found myself wishing I improved my Japanese more. I wanted to be able to speak fluently,” she said.

Nearly seven years later, she has graduated from both a Japanese language school and college.

She’s also racked up more than 13-million views on YouTube, making videos about her experiences living in a

foreign country.

She recently landed a job producing online content for Nestle Japan.

Braithwaite didn’t set out to become a videographer.

Although she made videos as a kid, playing around with her family’s camcorder, Braithwaite only realized after-thefact her latest digital camera could record video.

“I thought it would be a good opportunity to show my parents around the town that I lived in,” she said.

“I wanted to show my parents simple things in my daily life, so my first few YouTube videos were made entirely for them. Looking back, they weren’t really that great but, at the time, YouTube wasn’t as popular as it is today, so it was a little bit easier to stand out.”

Soon, she was getting hits from people outside her family who had questions about life in Japan. But, these days, she said up to 80 per cent of the hits she gets on her videos come from other Japanese people.

“I think the appeal for viewers is the foreign take on Japanese culture, for sure,” she said.

“Japanese people love to hear what for-

eigners think about their quirky habits.”

A typical video might see Braithwaite head to the local recycling shop in search of video games or visit a restaurant to discuss the finer points of Japanese vegetable pancakes.

She also covers popular songs in both English and Japanese.

“Usually, in my daily life, I will encounter something and think to myself, ‘This could be funny,’ or perhaps ‘This could be interesting’,” she said.

“I try to keep videos lighthearted but informational and visually appealing. I think that helps a lot. I like to take close-up shots of everything, so people can get the feeling like they are right there with me.”

While she’ll sometimes have a fan of her videos come up to her in public to take her picture, Braithwaite said she has trouble thinking of herself as a YouTube star.

“That’s the thing with Internet stuff,” she said.

“People can see you, but you can’t see them. I have no idea who is watching me or what the big numbers mean. I mean, I know they’re big numbers, but I can’t really imagine them.”

Go online to youtube.com/Ciaela to watch her videos.

“Kim is an integral part of the team here in Kamloops and a key contributor to our success.”

Although we are in the throes of a beautiful Kamloops summer, a great deal continues to be happening around RIH. Premier Christy Clark was here in July to announce the Àrst phase of redevelopment at Royal Inland: a Clinical Services Building for Columbia Street that will include a parkade, a link to the main hospital building, and new space for outpatient services. The contract for initial design will be awarded this fall and we will be keeping the community informed as this exciting project moves forward.

Plans are ramping up for our 100th Anniversary Celebration to mark the centennial of RIH in its current location on Columbia Street. We will have a photo display up in the main lobby during the month of September, and cake on September 14th. I am also excited about the hospital’s participation in the Kamloops Santa Parade this year. The bicentennial theme will Àt nicely with our own 100th anniversary celebration and I encourage any staff who want to get involved to contact Administration.

Construction on both the Medical Device Reprocessing unit and the hospital heliport will be wrapping up in the coming months. I wish to thank everyone who has been involved.

At last — British Columbia has effective liquor laws

H

ERE’S A SUMMER scene being played out all over North America.

Family van pulls up to the corner store to stock up on a few camping essentials: Pop, chips, hot dogs, a case of beer and a bottle of vodka.

Not in B.C., you say? It happens every day at rural agency liquor stores around the province.

As with many other issues, there is one reality for urban B.C. and another for the rest of us. Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C cities and towns, but villagers and their visitors somehow manage it, just as everyone does across the line in Washington and Alaska.

These rural agency stores are “flyspeck operators,” sniffs an acquaintance who spent his career as a union activist in government liquor stores.

Picture dusty old bottles on a rickety shelf, greedy owners and poorly trained clerks more likely to sell to under-age drinkers.

Similar generalizations can be heard about the hundreds of private liquor stores that have popped up around B.C. since they were legalized. And, in fact, there have been more violations in private stores, revealed in sting operations run by liquor inspectors.

In the year ended March 31, 54 private stores were caught selling to a minor, for an 84 per cent compliance rate. Only four government stores were caught, for a pass rate of 96 per cent.

TOM FLETCHER Our Man in

VICTORIA Five rural agency stores were tested and one flunked.

But, here is the telling statistic.

In 2010, the government allowed liquor inspectors to employ actual minors to test stores. Previously, they hired people who looked young, but were old enough to buy alcohol.

As late as 2009, two out of three stores (government or otherwise) sold to them. Problem is, that’s not an actual offence.

Liquor inspectors now send in undercover teens and relieve them of the evidence when they are allowed to buy booze. The watchdog now has teeth and compliance has jumped.

The government glossed over the poorer performance of private stores.

But, in fairness, three times as many private stores as government ones were targeted in the new inspections — and the gap is narrow.

Government stores also have a huge built-in financial advantage in their wholesale rate and are generally overstaffed by private-sector standards.

The B.C. Liberals also moved this spring to make rural agency stores easier to establish.

Regulation changes brought the minimum population served from 300 down to 200 and eliminated a vague requirement for a “bona fide community” to exist around the store.

Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s warehouse and distribution monopoly to a private contractor.

The B.C. Government Employees’ Union has protested, despite assurances its jobs will continue.

B.C.’s burgeoning craft-beer industry has looked to Alberta’s all-private model and predicts higher costs.

The B.C. Liberal government has been on the defensive from the start, with the NDP pointing to the paper trail of lobbyists with an apparent inside track. It’s great politics, but it matters little to consumers in an increasingly competitive, but heavily taxed business.

Another new regulation took effect this summer, creating a $525 fine for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their own under-age children are exempted.

Previously, penalties applied only to licensed establishments.

If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justification remains for government liquor sales. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Consider a hockey player like Steve Mason of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Mason is a goalie for the club and, arguably, the worst netminder in the National Hockey League.

But, consider that the NHL has only 60 goalies (a starter and backup for each of the 30 teams) and those 60 goalies are the best in the world.

With that perspective, Steve Mason — quite possibly the worst goalie in the NHL — remains among the very best netminders on Earth.

Such is the viewpoint that should be taken when we look back at Canada’s performance at the Olympic Summer Games in London.

Yes, the 18-medal tally was underwhelming, particularly when only one gold can be found among the majority of bronze.

However, even Dylan Armstrong’s fifth-place finish in the shot put and Catharine Pendrel’s ninth-place showing in mountain biking mean they are among the very best in the world in their respective sports — even without a gold, silver or bronze medal that is handed out once every four years.

An Olympic medal is prestigious, to be sure, but it really does signify a snapshot in time, one moment among millions every four years.

Pendrel is the reigning world champion in cross-country mountain biking, a title that requires consistency spanning many races in a season.

Armstrong is a Diamond League champion, an honour that also requires consistency in event after event.

In London, Pendrel and Armstrong had off-days.

It happens to even the best in the world.

The point, though, is Pendrel and Armstrong and the rest of Canada’s athletes who competed under the Maple Leaf have far more on-days.

As the Olympics go to sleep for another four years, the athletes continue competing, away from the spotlight and media frenzy, riding and tossing with their eyes fixed firmly on Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

Perhaps then, the snapshot in time will be golden.

THIS WEEK Speak up You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Editorial: Partisan attack fails to address problem:

We need to learn to live with our coyotes Editor: It has come to my attention that Kamloops officials intend to trap and kill coyotes in the Dallas area of the city.

May I suggest alternatives to this practice?

First and foremost, coyotes are not a threat.

A little common sense goes a long way when coexisting with all wildlife.

Places like Niagara Falls have great

Living with Wildlife programs and pamphlets to follow.

Sightings should not be an excuse to fear these wonderful song dogs.

They are adaptable, curious, intelligent and very easy to live with.

When a community practises good habits — such as not feeding wildlife, closing containers on garbage cans, keeping dogs on leashes and keeping cats indoors — being a leader in coexisting

with all our wildlife makes more sense and serves a community well.

Please look over the plans Coyote Watch Canada has in place and how effectively they are working.

I have faith your community will work toward a better place to welcome all wildlife and to live with them in harmony.

Vicki Barevich Welland, Ont.

All public events should be accessible by all children

“B.C. Conservative Leader John Cummins did indeed call into question the actions of both the B.C. Liberals and the NDP in failing to get expenses under control.

“The editorial is right, however, in stating that Speaker Bill Barisoff is ultimately responsible for the checks and balances on that money — which came from B.C .taxpayers.

“That is why Cummins called for his resignation.”

— posted by Alan Forseth

Editor: We had taken our grandson down to Riverside Park on Friday, Aug. 10, to enjoy the water park and see what events were getting ready for the weekend festival.

The B.C. Wildlife Park had a petting pen with goats for the kids, which was nice to see.

However, we were shocked to be told by the attendant that, while other children could go through to brush and pet the animals, she

could not open the gate wide enough for our grandson to get through in his wheelchair.

I gather she might have been afraid the goats would attempt to escape; however, if she had thought about it, his wheelchair would have blocked any escape attempt.

Thumbs down to the B.C. Wildlife Park (or any exhibitor) for not ensuring inclusion for all children equally.

Paul Gotro Kamloops

Re: Neskonlith chief wants charges after bear cub killed inhumanely: “As I thought, there are now questions whether this even happened.

“You couldn’t run a bear to exhaustion in the park as there are too many places to hide, and a bear cub would have run up the nearest bank and into the woods.”

Comparisons should work with firefighters, too HOT NITE SUITED AUTO LOVERS TO A ‘T’ Tessa Jongbldets and Travis Inkster of Kamloops check out the interior of a 1924 Ford T Coupe owned by Virgil Lysgarrd, also of Kamloops, during the annual Hot Nite in the City classic-car event, held in the downtown core. A little tender loving care and some good old-fashioned elbow grease should have the old Ford in fine condition for Hot Nite in the City 2013. The annual event sees several blocks of Victoria Street closed so participants can display their rides. Hot Nite also features musical acts and judges who bestow various awards, in a plethora of categories, on owners of standout vehicles. George Wycherley/KTW

Editor: Regarding the parity deal for firefighters, I find it incredibly hypocritical that the city would refuse to talk about comparators in negotiations with Kamloops firefighters when this has been a major consideration for

wage increases for city staff, city council and even Thompson-Nicola Regional District directors.

Funny how it doesn’t fly when the shoe is on the other foot.

The drink finished first out of a field of nine local concoctions, with beverages from Hoodoos at Sun Rivers and Ora Restaurant and Lounge taking the runner-up positions. Five drinks made it to the final round of judging, after a month-long public vote that saw nearly 4,000 online ballots cast. The competition, which required local restaurants to create drinks based on the theme of the city’s bicentennial, was sponsored by Tourism Kamloops.

BCGEU raise offer withdrawn by province

By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

tfletcher@blackpress.ca

After targeting offices with its second one-day strike, the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union said the provincial government has followed through on its threat to withdraw its offered wage increase.

BCGEU negotiators had rejected a raise of two per cent this year and 1.5 per cent next year when it was presented in late June.

Citing a two-year wage freeze leading up to this year’s negotiations, the union wants 3.5 per cent this year and a raise equivalent to the cost-

of-living increase for 2013.

The latest one-day strike created a fourday long weekend for 180 employees in provincial ministry offices last week.

BCGEU members refused to work at three forests ministry offices, with 40 staff in Surrey, 50 in Campbell River and

The first was July 3 at liquor distribution warehouses in Kamloops, Vancouver and Victoria.

After the first walkout, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said the wage offer could be withdrawn if strikes continued.

“We hope we don’t

have to repeat job action going forward,” BCGEU president Darryl Walker wrote on his blog.

“But, that’s the likelihood if the government doesn’t make us a fair and reasonable offer soon. We are prepared to take job action to the next

level if we have to.”

Last week Walker led a rally in Vancouver to publicize the union’s proposal to expand its deputy sheriff services to include traffic enforcement, raising extra fine revenue that could be used for pay raises.

Sun burn Broncos at Hillside

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Broncos took a page out of Plaxico Burress’ playbook in British Columbia Football Conference play on Sunday, Aug. 12, at Hillside Stadium in front of 500-plus fans.

“It was a situation where we all felt Okanagan didn’t really beat us, we kept shooting ourselves in the foot,” Broncos’ GM Darryl Chow said.

“It’s a story that Define your world.

Make a difference in someone else’s.

More than 4 million Canadians have arthritis.

we’ve had repeatedly over the years.”

Burris, the New York Jets’ receiver, actually shot himself higher up on the leg, not on the foot, but the point remains the same — Kamloops (1-1) was its own worst enemy in a 35-7 loss to the Okanagan Sun of Kelowna, turning the ball over four times and taking dumb penalties at inopportune stages of the game.

Kamloops will meet the Westshore Rebels (1-1) on Vancouver Island on Saturday,

Aug. 18.

Three second-quarter touchdowns gave the Sun a commanding 21-0 lead on Sunday.

Okanagan (1-1) scored twice more before Kamloops got on the board late in the fourth quarter thanks to a one-yard TD run from quarterback Stephen Schuweiler.

Kicker Aaron Smit slotted the conversion.

Chow said the methodical touchdown drive and the play of Kamloops’ defence were positives on a day the team would soon

like to forget.

“Our defence kept us in the game,” Chow said.

The Sun deserve credit for capitalizing on turnovers, many of which were caused by aggressive defensive play-calling.

“Okanagan could see that we were in a hole and they came heavy, heavy with the blitz,” Chow said.

“Our O-line tried the best they could, but they were coming every play.”

This weekend, Kamloops might be

without starting quarterback Jesse Neufeld, who injured his arm early in the second quarter.

Westshore cruised past the Chilliwack Huskers on Saturday, Aug. 11, winning 46-8.

Kamloops downed Chilliwack 64-10 in Week 1.

The Vancouver Island Raiders of Nanaimo and the Langley Rams — which tied 31-31 on Saturday — are atop the league with 1-0-1 records.

HERE WERE many captivating aspects to the Olympic Summer Games in London, but three clearly stood out to me.

Watching a city get behind its athletes and support them through what has to be considered disappointing performances is No. 1 on the list.

Like most, I marvelled at Usain Bolt’s jaw-dropping athleticism but, at the same time, questioned his antics on the track.

Finally, the Canadian women’s soccer team and its Olympic journey rounds out my list.

An apology is in order to my bosses, editor Chris Foulds and publisher Kelly Hall . . . sorry about the elongated lunches and mysteriously empty sports-guy chair, but this column depended on my absence.

Limp home from London It’s impossible for me to criticize Kamloops’ two mostpromising medal hopefuls, shot putter Dylan Armstrong and mountain biker Catharine Pendrel.

They were upbeat and accessible at Lift Off to London, a press conference held before the Games at the Tournament Capital Centre, and they represented our country with great class in London.

MARTY HASTINGS The Reporter’s RAMBLINGS Unfortunately, both athletes fell short of their goals.

I was at the Commodore Grand Cafe and Lounge when man-beast Armstrong, backed by a room full of supporters, finished off the podium in fifth place.

The Kamloops-born thrower simply didn’t have his best stuff on the day he needed it most.

It was an altogether anti-climactic experience, but memorable nonetheless.

I should apologize to Pendrel for my performance on race day.

After writing a story informing readers of her event’s early start time, I slept in and missed the race.

Bad form for a sports reporter, I know.

The first thing I did when I woke up was check my Twitter feed: “Not the race I dreamed of, but so proud to be a Canadian and an Olympian. Thank you everyone. You, not medals make the Olympics special!” Pendrel wrote.

The No.1-ranked cross-country mountain biker in the world placed ninth.

She, like Armstrong, was unable to summon her best effort in London and fell short of the podium, a place she has dreamed of being since finishing fourth in Beijing in 2008.

The saddest thing for River City residents is not knowing if either athlete will compete at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Both will be 35 when those Games roll around.

Neither should hang their heads as this city’s residents are still proud — that much has been made clear by the outpouring of support through social media.

One can only imagine, after four years of hard work and sacrifice, how much tougher that is said than done.

Bolt’s business I love flamboyant athletes.

If you can walk the

walk, then go ahead and talk the talk.

Bolt, the lightningfast Jamaican sprinter, took that to a new level in London.

Fist-pumping volunteers before the race.

Taking about 36 victory laps. Breaking into Hulk Hogan poses for the cameras every 10 seconds. Doing really weird hand motions during his pre-race close-up.

For me, all those things are fine because they didn’t affect his performance.

What bothers me quite colossally is what Bolt did down the stretch in the 200-metre final.

Instead of leaning forward at the line — like he did in the 100-metre final — trying to achieve the best possible time, he pulled up, brought his finger to his mouth and shushed either the crowd or Jamaican teammate Yohan Blake.

Why? Usain, you have been gifted with, quite

possibly, the greatest set of athletic attributes in recorded history.

You had a chance to set a world record on the biggest stage in the world.

A world record at the Olympic Games — do you know how many people dream of having that opportunity?

I know the rest of my rugby team wishes I had a sixteenth of your speed.

I ran a personal-best 43-second 200 metres — from Boston Pizza to KFC to A&W and back — last year, with a few breaks, of course.

Anyway, Usain, you might look back on your career one day and realize your legacy — you will likely go down as the best of all time — could have been that much greater if you just put your head down and ran through the finish line, as sprinters are taught to do.

en’s soccer team.

A royal robbery right underneath the Queen’s nose — a screw job Vince McMahon couldn’t dream up — took place in the semifinal, which Canada lost 4-3 to the U.S. Norwegian referee Christiana Pedersen has been raked over the coals for several decisions, specifically two calls that led to the Americans’ tying goal late in the second half.

Yes, there were bad calls both ways, but the delay-of-game and intentional hand-ball calls sunk Canada.

I don’t remember a women’s soccer game that captured a nation like the semifinal did.

This was partly because of the officiating disaster and partly because of Christine Sinclair, who notched a hat trick and became a household name across the Great White North in a matter of hours.

There was nothing

Canada’s soccer women or a nation of irate fans could do about the loss except prepare for the bronze-medal matchup.

The Canadians were outplayed by the French all game and likely should have finished fourth.

Diana Matheson’s injury-time winner sent me off my couch, yelping like a six-year-old girl.

It was a feeling usually reserved for a Canada-Russia or Canada-U.S. hockey game.

We might not have deserved the W, but we sure as hell didn’t deserve to lose against the Yanks.

Kudos, girls, for showing heart, withstanding the French onslaught and doing us proud.

SPORTS VIEWS

Clara Hughes, Canada’s Olympic queen?

W

E CAN probably agree that Wayne Gretzky is Canada’s greatest hockey player, that Steve Nash is the best basketball player our country has produced and that Mike Weir is No. 1 in golf.

And the greatest Olympian, now that the 2012 London Games are fading into our rear-view mirror?

It has to be Clara Hughes, a 39-year-old Winnipegger who won nary a medal in 2012 but has a dazzling Olympic record dating back to 1996 that is unparalleled.

The amazing thing about Hughes is not only that she has six medals to her lifetime credit, but that they were won in both summer and winter Olympic Games.

In this era of sports specialization — of the one-trick placekicker in football and the oneinning relief pitcher — it is awe-inspiring to realize that not only is Hughes among the world’s best in cycling, but also in speedskating.

Only four other

BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW athletes have ever won medals in both summer and winter games.

Hughes will be 41 in 2014, when the next Olympics are held in Sochi, Russia, and she will probably be in attendance in some executive fashion, but competing?

Unlikely — but never say never with Clara.

She didn’t compete in the Summer Games of 2004 or 2008, but has been in every other Olympics — summer and winter — since 1996.

She won a couple of bronze medals in cycling in 1996 in Atlanta.

She came home with speedskating medals in three successive Winter Olympics — Salt Lake City in 2002, Turin, Italy

in 2006 and Vancouver in 2010 — and surprised absolutely no one when she said she was coming out of retirement to try to make Canada’s cycling team in London.

She made the 2012 team, although she failed to add to her accumulation of medals.

Nonetheless, Hughes’s story is an inspiring one, especially when you take into account the rest of her life’s travails — a wild teenager involved in drugs, an adult life faced with clinical depression — that she has faced and overcome.

Clara Hughes is Canada’s greatest Olympian, a title she will likely hold forever.

Growing up with Cirque to make him hold his breath in amazement.

Such is the quality of the work that creates Cirque shows.

Dube-Dupuis has had a longer time than most to learn of the potential the worldrenowned circus continues to master.

His father, Francois, was one of the Montreal street performers who joined together more than a quarter-century ago to create the company.

In fact, his dad continues to perform as a clown in shows that are based in Las Vegas.

One might think Dube-Dupuis’s career path would have been set to also hit the stage but he said he learned at an early age he preferred to be backstage — or, on show nights, at the back of the house at

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Gabriel Dube-Dupuis watches Quidam — something he does every time the Cirque du Soleil show is mounted right now — he sees more than the audience.

That’s saying something, given how packed the show that opens tomorrow (Aug. 15) at Interior Savings Centre is with thrills, spectacle and breathtaking moments.

As general stage manager, DubeDupuis has to watch for the tiniest misstep or miscue so he can talk with his performers about it and work to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

But, Dube-Dupuis said, he also sees the entirety of the show — and he has moments that continue

the control booth.

“When I was nine or 10, my dad organized an audition for me for a play,” DubeDupuis said.

“And, I had a blast doing it. Then, they picked someone else and I was crushed.

But I grew up in a backstage area and it’s a better fit for me.”

A unique aspect of Quidam is the telepherique, a specially designed aerial conveyer Quidam creator Franco Dragone wanted to avoid having to break the flow of the show to bring acts on or off stage.

It makes the transitions seamless and ensures a constancy to the two-hour show.

“It creates more operatic moments,” Dube-Dupuis said.

Whether he’s watching a performance or overseeing

training, Dube-Dupuis said it’s his job to ensure Dragone’s vision remains constant.

“I’m not seen and I don’t want to be seen” he said. “I just watch for a high level of efficiency and the ideal of perfection.”

He’s seen most of the shows in his years with Cirque and Dube-Dupuis said Quidam is “one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.”

He praises his cast of 50, noting “they all want to achieve perfection.”

Gabriel Dube-Dupuis, general stage manager for Quidam, watches as some of its performers rehearse an aerial routine. The Cirque du Soleil show opens tomorrow (Aug. 15) at Interior Savings Centre.

Tanya Burka performs with just two long pieces of red silk, doing acrobatics high above the stage in Quidam.

after amazing moment of stunning athletics, all set to beautiful music and smooth transitions through the imaginary world.

But, as with all circuses, there is much comedy that sees Toto Castineiras bringing audience members up to take part in some of the most hilarious skits you’ll see at a Cirque show.

My favourite moment of the many performances is the one called Statue, which comes midway through the second act.

Describing it is difficult — it has to be seen to be believed — but Cirque explains it this way: “Never losing contact, two strong, flexible performers move almost imperceptibly, assuming positions impossible without an impeccable sense of balance.”

It is performed by its creator, Yves Decoste, and

Valentyna Sidenko.

Another highlight is the third act, the aerial contortion in silk.

Two long pieces of red silk are brought on stage along the conveyor belt at the ceiling — and, suddenly, there is Tanya Burka wrapped in them, swinging,

twisting, working with just fabric and plenty of air beneath her to create something beautiful.

The performers will stun you, but there’s so much more that happens in Quidam that may not be as obvious but is just as wonderful.

That includes the set designed by Michel Crete, the costumes created by Dominique Lemieux, even the lighting by Luc Lafortune — each plays a part that, when combined, creates simple magic.

I’ve seen several Cirque shows and this one isn’t my favourite — that remains Alegria — but it’s definitely one of the best they’ve done.

It has a clearer plotline than some Cirque shows and is much more familyfriendly than some of the other shows.

Quidam opens tomorrow (Aug. 15) at Interior Savings Centre.

There are several performances through to Sunday, Aug. 19.

Tickets are available at the box office, online at cirquedusoleil.com or ticketmaster.ca or at the Ticketmaster booth at Sahali Mall.

IRST, A CONFESSION. I cannot tell you if the duplex trapeze segment in Quidam is good — unless you’ll accept an opinion based on what I heard from the audience around me during a show in Lethbridge KTW was invited to attend.

The reason is simple.

I can’t deal with heights — especially these kinds of heights.

When Stephanie Gasparoli started her acrobatics dozens of feet above the stage, my stomach flipped up and my eyesight was cast down.

All I can tell you is there were a lot of ohs and ahs and sustained applause when she finished.

But, then, that’s pretty commonplace when Cirque du Soleil performs — and Quidam is no exception.

The two-hour show starts with a premise most people can identify with — a little girl whose parents are so absorbed in their own worlds they don’t see their child.

So, Zoe (Alessandra Gonzalez, whose beautiful soprano voice you will hear singing throughout) creates her own world.

It’s a place ruled by a ringmaster unlike any you’ll find in traditional circuses. Mark Ward creates a character that is as much like a television personality as he is a guide.

He’ll take Zoe — and the audience — on a trip where she will meet a variety of characters with their own stories to tell.

And, they tell them with spectacular skill and energy.

From the Cyr wheel controlled by Eric Saintonge, the first act in the two-hour show, through to the final act, the Banquine and its 15 amazing athletes, Quidam is moment

Patience pays off for rope-jumper

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A hop, skip and jump brought Adrienn Banhegyi to Quidam.

Sure, there was a lot of hard work and some luck, as well, but the Hungarian performer said it all began when her dad came up with an idea.

A physical-education teacher, her dad wanted to find a way to work with special-needs children to help them with co-ordination, concentration and exercise.

He decided ropeskipping would be best and started the classes.

“I joined with the girls he was teaching,” Banhegyi said, “and, after a while, we started making our own tricks.”

She loved skipping and was intrigued by the many ways it could be done, the opportunities to work acrobatics into it.

Banhegyi learned of a rope-skipping federation in Hungary and went to one of its shows.

She was pretty much hooked after that, she said.

“They were doing such crazy stuff and I

decided that was my goal. I saw tricks and I wanted to master them.”

Along the way, she competed as an individual and team member at various levels, winning awards and continuing to bring creativity and more physicality into something that originated in such a simple way.

Then came the day when Banhegyi told her father she saw a possibility to do ropejumping as a profession — and maybe even work with Cirque du Soleil.

“He wasn’t very sure about that,” she said.

“But, now, he has a very different opinion.

He is very proud.”

Banhegyi’s determination to join Cirque came after she saw one of its shows — ironically, Quidam — on television.

The federation she had joined received an email from Cirque that it was looking for rope skippers so Banhegyi recorded a DVD of all the tricks she could do and sent it off.

“The closest audition was in France so there we were in the car headed there,” she said.

“I did the audition and, at the end of the day, they announced the people they were interested in and I was one of them.”

She didn’t hear from Cirque again for several years and then was contacted and asked if she could join a show in New York City.

“I didn’t expect much,” she said. “It had

been six years [since the audition] and a lot of things can change.

“But, I kept practising, teaching kids to jump rope and doing performances.”

Performing in Cirque is different than competing, Banhegyi said.

“In competition, the goal is to achieve good results. But in Cirque, the focus is different.

“It is important to get a connection with the audience.

“I’m having more fun doing this.”

Norihisa Taguchi (left) and Adrienn Banhegyi skip during Quidam. By the time the two and others are finished their segment, performers will be doing double-dutch — and more — through ropes more than six metres long.

Singing for a broken heart Country singer-songwriter Corey Hawthorne draws his inspirations from some classic musicians.

A list of those who have influenced what he calls North Americana include Hank Williams, Buddy Miller, Dwight Yoakam, the Beatles and AC/DC. Mind you, he’s not adverse to chanelling the guitar-playing of Jimi Hendrix or Eddie Van Halen when he performs.

The Winnipeg native is headed to Kamloops for a show at The Art We Are on Saturday Aug. 18 at 8 p.m.

It’s part of a tour he’s on to promote his new album, The King of the Broken Hearts, which he said combines country and rock with big twangy guitars, strong melodies and heartfelt lyrics.

Ganton-Stanley, a certified art therapist, will explore artmaking by connecting with emotions to create images that tell their story.

Each participant will receive a visual journal to provide space to process their images and use as a tool to continue to unleash their creativity outside of the workshop.

The session is open for those 16 and older.

Videos highlight TRU

THEY GOT THE BEAT

Thompson Rivers University’s recently launched Facebook contest promotes four new videos highlighting student life in Kamloops.

The videos are the winning results of 13 TRU students who were given digital video cameras for two weeks to capture how they were creating their own experience at TRU last December.

Footage from four of the 13 students was selected to create the point-of-view videos highlighting their experiences.

Showing their dancing skills at the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops are theatre-camp participants Zoe (left), Bryton, Kayla, Blake, Bailin, Kyah, Shelby and Alex.

Indian Horse’s story still rings true

By Heather Allen PENTICTON WESTERN NEWS editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Richard Wagamese has penned several books, including his memoir, One Native Life, which was one of The Globe and Mail’s 100 Best Books of 2008, and One Story, One Song, which was awarded the George Ryga Award for social awareness in 2011.

His latest book is Indian Horse.

Saul Indian Horse is a young Ojibway boy who is taken to a Catholic residential school in the 1960s.

There, he suffers neglect and abuse.

It seems as though Saul will end up in an unmarked grave like so many of the other students.

Saul is seemingly Kamloops author Richard Wagamese has published rescued from this fate by another book. the appearance of a new priest at the school who has a passion for hockey.

Saul is an immediate star of the game — he has unsurpassed speed and a unique ability to see the ice.

He practises on an outdoor rink in oversized, secondhand equipment, using a horse turd as a puck.

Once his talent is recognized, he is able to leave

the school to play on a aboriginal hockey team in northern Ontario.

Saul’s prowess brings several invitations to play on off-reservation teams and, eventually, to try out for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Each foray off the reserve begets a series of taunts, ridicule and outright beatings for daring to play “the white man’s game.”

It’s not the hockey story we are used to hearing.

Wagamese first intended Indian Horse to be a novella about an Ojibway hockey player, but stories from residential-school survivors made their way onto the pages.

Wagamese’s portrayal of the suffering of the parents whose children were stolen and of the children themselves is incredibly moving.

Even if you think you know what happened to generations of aboriginal people, this book will make you sit up and reconsider the tragedy.

When writing a column, I sometimes make connections to holidays, literary awards or current events.

This time, unfortunately, the connection is personal.

Just as I sat down to write, I received a phone call about a cousin, a young First Nations man who had taken his own life.

This death mirrors the tragedy Wagamese portrays through story.

It’s not one thing but many things that bring a person down — and, sometimes people are made to suffer so much that it takes generations of work to heal.

We still, it seems, have much to do.

Taking scooters to the Max with Yamaha TMAX

I ROB BEINTEMA First DRIVE

THUMBED THE STARTER AND WAITED AS MY WIFE MARY SETTLED IN BEHIND ME. A last check of the mirrors, a twist of the throttle and we squirted out of the driveway, motoring away with that classic scooter drone.

And, for just a second, I felt like Larry Crowne.

Granted, you’d have to squint pretty hard to mistake the two of us for Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts.

And, you’d have to be even more nearsighted to confuse this very modern scooter with the 1980sera Riva Hanks rode in

the movie.

Sure, they’re both Yamaha-branded, but they are 30 years and a world apart in style, performance and technology.

The TMAX fits into the maxi-scooter class and its half-litre engine performance, feral face and sporty lines were designed to blur the dif-

ferences between scooters and motorcycles.

The TMAX takes its styling cues directly from Yamaha’s sport-bike lineup and even shares some bits and pieces from their parts bins.

It’s always been a highway-capable performer that will match many motorcycles with initial off-the-line acceleration.

Bike-like components include a lightweight aluminum frame, large 43-millimetre forks, an adjustable windscreen, biggish 15-inch wheels and R6-inspired brakes.

For 2012, the new third-generation TMAX gets a major makeover.

Engine cylinders have been bored out an additional two millimetres, bumping displacement up by 30cc to 530cc.

As a result, power is up by three horsepower to 46 horsepower and torque increases by 10 per cent to a 39-poundfeet peak at a lower 5,250

r.p.m.

A larger 34-millimetre Mikuni throttle body (up from 31 millimetres), a new airbox and redesigned radiator are just a few of the higher-performance tweaks.

Complementing the power increase, a new aluminum swingarm contributes to a fourkilogram overall weight reduction.

And, all those performance accents blend nicely with the TMAX’s get-on-and-go scooter attributes — the CVT automatic transmission, the low centre-of-gravity nimble ride and handling and the large cushy twoperson seat with underseat storage.

The last time I tested a TMAX, its user-friendly ambiance encouraged a downtown trip to the market — and I decided to repeat the adventure with the new 2012 model.

Squeeze either of the brake levers, thumb the

starter and the engine awakens instantly.

The right-hand lever brakes the front wheel, the left-hand side stops the rear and there is a parking-brake lever on the underside of the left grip, as well.

Actually, your left hand on the brake lever does the same job your right foot does on a motorcycle, squeezing on a little back brake as a steadying influence in low speed maneuvering or to simply smooth the jerk of takeoff when the light turns green.

And, it’s good to teach your left hand these new tricks because, every once in a while, when you’re accelerating away, old habits and muscle memories kick in and your hand starts to grope for a non-existent clutch and upshift — which is not a good thing when that lever operates a brake.

You get over it soon enough. And after a short while you might even find yourself marveling at motorcycle silliness and its antiquated dance of four-limb shifting and braking.

The TMAX made short work of our urban commute.

The perky engine, improved brakes and agile road manners seemed meant for the cut and thrust of downtown driving, yet we felt no hesitation at ramping onto highway stretches for speeds of 120 km/h or higher.

We earned a 4.7L/100km fuel-economy average on our twoup trek and I cut that to 4.4L/100km combined average on later solo rides, giving me a range of about 340 kilometres on the 15-litre tank.

Three in five (61 per cent) view their car as a haven from the outside world and don’t want to always be connected while driving.

More than half of owners find in-car connectivity makes driving more enjoyable (58 per cent) and makes them feel safer (57 per cent).

Men in particular enjoy having connectivity in their cars (64 per cent) more than women (53 per cent) and feel safer with technology on-board (61 per cent) compared to women (54 per cent).

More than three in four car owners (76 per cent) in a recent survey said they believe in-car connectivity technologies are too distracting and even dangerous.

In addition, more than half (55 per cent) argue automakers have taken technology for road use too far.

These are some of the results of the Harris Poll of 2,634 U.S. adults (ages 18 and over), of whom 1,991 own or lease a car, truck, minivan or SUV. Beyond fearing how connectivity technology may impede driver focus, a majority (62 per cent) also worry about how technology may interfere with their privacy, including where and how they drive.

JOHN KOPACH January 18, 1926 ~ August 1. 2012 We are sad to announce the passing of John Kopach of Kamloops on August 1st, 2012, at 86 years of age. John is survived by his children Patricia (Arnold) Witzke of Oyama, BC, and Myrna (Randy) Allison, Myra Kopach and Teresa (Andy) Mault, all of Kamloops, BC, his grandchildren Tanya (Mark), James (Cheryl), Kelsey-Rae (Frank), Tanner, Tammy (Chris) and Craig (Layla).

John is predeceased by his loving wife, Della, his parents, Bill and Annie, as well as his brothers Pete, Steve, Paul, Mike and Walter.

John was born in Saskatchewan on the homestead. As a young man, John moved to McBride, BC, where he was employed in the logging industry. In 1952, John married Adela Rosin and together they raised their family of four daughters. The family later moved to Revelstoke and then Kamloops where John was employed by Dawson Construction and spent his remaining years there until his retirement. John was an avid fisherman and spent most of his time travelling, fishing and curling. He will be sadly missed by his family and friends.

A Memorial Service for John will be held on Wednesday, August 15th, 2012 at 1pm in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel with Chaplain Mary Widmer officiating.

The family would like to say a special thank you to the staff at Kelowna General and Royal Inland Hospitals. Memorial donations may be made to the Kamloops SPCA. Arrangements have been entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577

ROSS MCINTOSH LORIMER May 18, 1945 ~ August 7, 2012 Ross McIntosh Lorimer was born May 18, 1945. He died suddenly on August 7, 2012 while gathering firewood in the woods near his home in Lac Le Jeune. Ross is survived by his wife of 41 years, Beverley, and his children Michael (Tammy) and Kathryn (Jason). The pride of Ross’ life were his two grandchildren Talyn and Lauren. Since retirement, he has taken every opportunity to spend time with his two beautiful grandchildren.

He is also survived by siblings Ted (Leanne), Jeanie, Jamie (Jennifer), Keith (Chris), sister in law Barbara (Tom) and many nieces and nephews.

Ross spent his entire working career in sales with Cadbury/Schweppes, Fraser Valley Foods, Pillsbury and Golden Boy. During his career, he worked with customers and friends throughout the entire province.

Whether it was major retail chains or mom and pop corner stores, he built friendships that lasted throughout his entire career.

Ross enjoyed many vacations at Salt Spring Island and the Oregon Coast. This love of the west coast began with his boyhood summers spent at the family home on Salt Spring Island. Ross has travelled to Scotland numerous times over the past decade to visit daughter Kathryn and her family in Edinburgh. He loved the outdoors and took daily walks on nearby trails with his four-legged pals Kootenay and Tanner. Retirement also brought a renewed interest in golfing, fishing and spending time around the pool table with his friends.

March 9, 1932 ~ August 9, 2012 Mom passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family, Doogie, Diana, Marie & Hector in the comfort of the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice.

Predeceased by: Her parents: Hector (1934) & Marie(1973), Beloved Husband Ross (1984), beloved sons; Christopher (1986), Willie (1991). Very Special Friend; Owen (Van) VanDyke (2007). Her sister Mary Thompson & brothers Joe & Hector. Rita May is survived by her son; Ross (Doogie) and his wife Diana.

Daughter; Marie and her husband Hector MacDonald. Grandchildren: (Rita was affectionaly called “Amma”) Rogan (Keri). Krystal (Mike) Pearson, Christopher (Joey) Anderson. Murdock (Kate)MacDonald, Tanner MacDonald, Great-Grandchildren: Curtis, Taylor & Gracie Pearson; Naveed Anderson; Ethan MacDonald. Very Special Neighbors and Best Friends; Terry & Esther Millar and all-their family. Beloved “Aunti” Etta from Australia; sisterin-law Janet McNeil and all Rita’s nephews and nieces. Many Icelandic relatives from Manitoba. And blessed with Best Friends; that Rita considered her family. Violet Maartman and all her children. Too many others to name, but you all know who you are.

Rita was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and was the “baby” of her family. Her mother Marie was lcelandic and her father Hector was Scottish. Rita was only 2 years old when her dad died from the effects of the mustard gas that was used in France in WWI, He served from 1915 -1917. When she was 12 years old, her mother packed up and moved to Vancouver so she could be closer to Rita’s oldest brother Joe, who served during WWII. He joined the Canadian Navy before Pearl Harbour and Joe wanted his Mom and baby sister to move so he could help support them. After WWII, Rita’s older sister Mary and her sons and her brother Hector moved to Vancouver so they could all be together.

After graduating high school, Rita worked at a fish canning factory with her best friend Peggy Duncan, Later she got a job as a telephone operator. ln those days, you had to call the “operator” to even make a local call.

She met and fell in love with Ross in 1951 and they married in 1952. they had 4 children within the next 7 years; Doogie, Marie, Willie & Chris. Ross drove truck for a living and he came to Kamloops first, to make sure that it was going to be a steady job. He lived at the Franklin Hotel, which was owned by the Yanchuk family. After 6 months,they made the huge decision to Ieave all their family and friends in Vancouver and make Kamloops their home in 1961. In 1967 they bought a home in Brocklehurst and she stayed there until she died.

Rita was a “stay-at-home” Mom and spent her whole life raising her kids, volunteering for schools, church and the boy’s sports. In 1974 she started working at Tranquille in the laundry and within a few years became involved with the union as a rep.

Between 1984 & 1991 Rita lost her husband Ross and-her 2 sons, Chris & Willie. Even with all her heartbreak, she never lost her love and compassion for all those who knew her.

In 1995 Rita met Van from California and became a “snowbird”. They had 12 wonderful years together. Rita May was an amazing wife, mother and best friend to aII those around her. Rita’s door was”always” open and she was blessed with many friends that she considered family.

At Ross’ request, his life will be celebrated in a small family ceremony on Salt Spring in October. In lieu of flowers, donations to Variety Children’s Charity would be appreciated. For those wishing to pay their respects, an Open House will be held at his home in Lac Le Jeune on August 19th from noon until 2:00PM.

Rita spent the last 3 weeks of her life at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice. We would like to thank the AMAZING STAFF for all their love and care. They made it possible for Mom to die with grace and dignity. Many thanks to Dr. Mavis Hollman ---you went above and beyond and Mom loved you very much.

Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night DYLAN THOMAS

Mom It is so hard to believe that one year has passed since you left us. Things in life are not the same without you. We think of you everyday. Your presence is sadly missed. But with each passing day we are comforted as we remember our precious memories of you.

You will always be in our hearts ...

Rest in Peace.

Love, Your son, Ron Your daughter, Beverley and all your family

God took you by the hand and led you far away, Leaving many broken hearts, an ever changing world.

You made my life more memorable, Just being here with me.

I’ve lost a love, a broken heart Remembering days gone by.

The joy, The happiness, You left behind still etched in memories.

The love you gave I kept close by.

We’ll meet again, my son, one day And carry on our lives again.

Your loving Mom

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightening they Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in Áight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your Àerce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Welcome Message

The City also works with many organizations in town focused on bringing people together and addressing the needs of the whole community. This fall we will host a Community Association forum geared at supporting and bringing residents of neighbourhoods together, see more on page #. The fourth annual Homelessness Action Week will take place October 8-12, 2012 and is a week dedicated to raising awareness about homelessness issues BC (more information at www.kamloopshap.ca). The Social Planning Council will also open the call for proposals in September for the 2013 Social Planning Grants, page #. The impact that these grants have on our community are profound. For example, the 2012 grants supported 16 organizations with projects ranging from helmet safety for youth to the Snow Angels Snow Removal Program for seniors in our community.

The City endeavors to promote Council’s strategic goals of economy, livability, environment, governance, and infrastructure, throughout the community in as many ways as possible. By working towards creating strong partnerships and open communication lines with residents, businesses, community and neighborhood associations, and government organizations, we continually strive to provide strong networks to progressively link our community together.

We take pride in what we do and do our best to make the lives of everyone who makes Kamloops their home just that much better.

Making Kamloops Shine… working tirelessly together to make our beautiful city the best place on Earth

Ben I began calling Kamloops home just over four years ago, and it still feels like I’m living in a place others would call a vacation destination. Blazing summers, mild winters and endless accessible indoor and outdoor recreation – Kamloops has it all.

As Community Development Coordinator, I’ve had the pleasure of working in partnership with residents, businesses, and non-profit organizations to address the challenges facing every city. One great example is community associations – volunteer groups who support their neighborhood by organizing events, projects, and keeping people connected to the City.

Making Kamloops Shine will always be a group effort and I’m fortunate and proud to be a part of this amazing city.

Not only for her but for us as parents. Mallory broke her fear of skating because she had an opportunity to try playing hockey where the expectation was to have fun.

Every child has different levels of need and she always felt included. She experienced an out of town tournament and her team won most sportsmanship. As parents we were able to take in an experience we thought we might never be able to do. We were so proud when Mallory scored her first goal as she looked up at us with a grin from ear to ear. Given the opportunity and chance, with the right support and encouragement children with special needs will reach their goals. This program was proof for our daughter. “ Gail and Dave Bagri.

Aquatics

Kamloops Aquatics is committed to fostering a safe, positive aquatic environment by providing quality sport, recreation and wellness programs for a diverse population.

Swim for Life Basic swimming ability is a fundamental requirement in any meaningful attempt to eliminate drowning in Canada. We support the Lifesaving Society’s belief that swimming is a life skill that all children need to learn, just like fire safety or street-proofing.

• The Lifesaving Society estimates half of Canadian children never take traditional swimming lessons - even though “swimming” is the second most popular activity (after bicycling) in Canada among school-age children between 5 and 12 years of age.

• Swim skills are not innate - they need to be taught - and all children deserve the chance to learn.

• Drowning is the second leading cause of injury-related death for Canadian children. Research shows that most drownings occur close to safety. The Lifesaving Society believes that if every child in Canada possessed basic swimming abilities that the drowning rate would be reduced by half.

Did You Know?

Over 6,500 people participated in our learn to swim and lifesaving courses in 2011 In 2011 we hosted 14 events with a total of 3,450 competitors Between Jan. 1 and Mar. 29, 2012, Kamloops swimmers and swim clubs swam over 20,000 km. to celebrate the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay.

Shawna’s extensive aquatic experience has enabled her to become a successful Deck Leader.

She loves the challenges of the role and enjoys being able to offer advice and support to her team.

Our programming focuses on introducing your child to other children through group play, reading (letters and numbers), art and crafts, and physical activity. Your child will be introduced to physical movements such as balance, coordination, and flexibility in addition to basic skills in running, jumping, throwing and catching.

Our goal is to enhance the ability of our community to support the healthy development of children and their families. Partnerships in the community such as Make Children First and Success by 6 make this goal possible. These programs look to develop emotional; social; cognitive; and physical skills for children aged 0-6 before entering school.

Is your child coordinated and physically confident?

Individuals who are physically literate move with competence and confidence in a wide variety of physical activities in multiple environments that benefit the healthy development of the whole person.

The Canadian Sport for Life movement identifies the Active Start stage for children from 0 – 6 years as being important in developing physical literacy.

During these years children need to be introduced to unstructured active play that incorporates a variety of body movements. Children this age need to develop the ABCs of movement – Agility, Balance, Coordination, and Speed.

An early active start enhances development of brain function, physical coordination, gross motor skills, and posture and balance. It also helps children to build confidence, social skills, emotional control, and imagination while reducing stress and improving sleep.

SCHOOL IS BACK...

DRIVE WITH CARE!

Motorists are reminded that students are now back to school. The reduced posted speed limit of 30 km/h in all school zones is in force from 8 am to 5 pm on all regular school days. In Canada, pedestrian incidents are the leading cause of death for children under the age of 14. Most incidents occur between 3 and 6 pm, when motorists are coming home from work and when children may be walking home from school. To help make it safer in the school zone, consider leaving your car at home and encouraging your child to walk or bike; organize a walking school bus; or carpool with other families.

Tips for Motorists: • Slow down and drive with extra care around schools and play grounds.

• Drop off and pick up your child on a less congested street.

Tips for Pedestrians: • Make eye contact with drivers before crossing the street so you know they see you and they know you see them.

• Look left, then right, then left again.

• Always yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.

• Never jaywalk! Always use the crosswalk.

• Be alert to vehicles stopped in the lane next to you as they may be yielding for a pedestrian.

• Remove your headphones and put away your phone when crossing the street.

• Do not stop in “No Parking” or “No Stopping” zones or designated bike lanes.

Take advantage of social moments and unplug and play in your home with the whole family. All it takes is 15 minutes a day of reading, writing and being active. Engage in fun activities such as reading books with actions; follow a recipe for cooking or baking; singing and playing music or any other family fun activity that promotes literacy.

Family SPORTS

Car Seat Safety Tips 1. You must re-adjust the harness every time the baby is place in the car seat.

Family Sports with Shorts $48 Ages: 2½+

You should be able to just slide two fingers under the straps at your child’s collarbone.

Remember - for rear facing seats, straps should originate just below the child’s shoulders at the back. On forward facing seats, they should be at the shoulder or slightly above.

Build a healthy lifestyle with your family through games and activities that focus on the ABCs of fundamental movements: Agility, Balance, Coordination, and Speed.

Parent participation required.

2. Canadian Law states that all forward facing child seats must be tethered.

TCC - Tournament Capital Centre » Sep 26-Nov 14 8:45-9:45 AM Wed 197535

Please read the owner’s manual that comes with your vehicle for placement, tips and proper anchoring technique. If your older vehicle does not have a designated anchor, most dealerships will install one for you at no cost. If anchors cannot be installed, you will have to make other transportation arrangements.

3. The best place for your child is in the middle of the back seat.

In this age of compact cars, most only have UAS (Universal Anchoring System) anchors for the left and the right seats.

In that case, use your middle seat belt to anchor. General rule of thumb is no more than 1 inch of slide, side-to-side. By splitting anchors, you will allow for too much movement.

4. No clothing or blankets should come between your baby and the harness strap.

Nothing should come between baby and the harness strap!

Bulky bunting bags and snowsuits can compress in a crash and baby may be ejected out of the seat. Dress babe in a warm sleeper, a sweater and booties and use rolled up receiving blankets to cushion the head.

5. Average lifespan of a car seat is approximately 6 years, please reference Transport Canada website for lifespan by manufacturer.

The average lifespan of a car seat is only about 6 years (see Transport Canada website for lifespan by manufacturer). Using an expired seat may void portions of your car insurance should you be involved in a crash.

Adult Pre and Postnatal Care and Programs Exercise is an important component to overall health and wellness, at any time during a woman’s life, and this also holds true during and after pregnancy.

The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiologists, in conjunction with the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada recommends that “all women without contradictions should be encouraged to participate in aerobic and strengthconditioning exercises as part of a healthy lifestyle during their pregnancy”. By working with your physician or midwife, you can develop a personalized approach to fitness that will benefit both you and your baby.

Following pregnancy, most women are able to resume exercise within a short period of time (dependent on delivery type and medical clearance).

Engaging in specific exercise that will target the pelvic floor following delivery, will help to strengthen the muscles in this area.

The City of Kamloops is pleased to offer a variety of classes to meet your exercise needs throughout your pregnancy.

Please review the PARmed-X for Pregnancy with your physician or midwife prior to engaging in physical activity.

Lesson Rate: $ 3.25 - Enjoy a swim or hot tub while your child is in a City of Kamloops swim lesson.

Aquafitness Aquafit is exercising through movement in water. Water generates natural ‘resistance’ which facilitates a full-body workout at your own pace and intensity.

Buoyancy promotes ‘low impact’ movement by decreasing the shock transmitted through your bones and joints.

Aqualite: For beginner to experienced exercisers looking for low intensity, low impact class in shallow water.

Aquafit: For all levels of exercisers looking for a low impact, high intensity class in shallow water. These classes feature full body strength, flexibility and cardio training.

Deep Water Aquafit: For intermediate to experienced exercisers looking for a no impact, high intensity class in deep water. These classes feature full body strength, flexibility and cardio training and require flotation belts which are provided.

Safe to Participate - PAR-Q and You

Being more active is very safe for most people; however, some people should check with their doctor before they start becoming much more physically active.

All Aquafit participants must review the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire

9:00-10:00 am 7:00-8:00 pm

2:00-3:00 pm

2:00-3:00 pm

(PAR-Q) prior to participation. If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, the PAR-Q will tell you if you should check with your doctor before you start. If you are over 69 years of age and you are not used to being very active, check with your doctor before participating. For more details, please talk to the instructor or visit kamloops.ca/swim.

Research has shown that there may be an association between periodontal disease and other chronic inflammatory conditions, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, among others. Scientists believe that inflammation may be the cause behind the link between periodontal disease and other chronic conditions. Inflammation, the body’s reaction to fight off infection, guard against injury, or shield against irritation, initially intends to have a protective effect. Untreated chronic inflammation, on the other hand, can lead to the destruction of affected tissues, which can lead to more serious health conditions. If you think or know you have one of the inflammatory conditions above, it is important to talk with both your physician and a dental health professional, such as a periodontist, to help reduce your risk of further disease progression. Dental professionals and medical professionals will often work together for at risk patients.
