City considers doubling parking rates downtown

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Time is ticking down on Kamloops’ coin-operated parking meters.

At a special workshop on parking on Tuesday, Aug. 21, city council agreed to consider an overhaul of parking in the downtown core that would replace the current meters with digital pay stations and raise fees for the first time since 1994.

The move follows a report from the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association that called for a number of changes to improve the downtown parking situation for both customers and people working in the city centre.

Jon Wilson, the city’s community safety and enforcement manager, told council the situation downtown doesn’t encourage people to find off-street parking.

In most cities, lot parking is cheaper than the metered option but, because Kamloops hasn’t raised its rates in almost two decades, it’s about twice as expensive to park off-street — making it more attractive for downtown employees to take up metered spaces.

To solve that, city staff are proposing to double the meter fee to at least $1 an hour.

On Victoria Street, which Wilson said is “probably the highest demand area in the downtown core,” the hourly rate could go as high as $1.50.

It would also replace the 850 aging parking meters with 135 pay stations, where driver register their

vehicle’s licence-plate number and can pay for their parking time using a credit card.

Another 10 stations could go into off-street lots.

Staff will also look at offering drivers the option of staying in a spot for a third hour, but the extra time would likely come at double the cost.

Wilson said the technology upgrade would cost the city about $2.2 million, plus another $320,000 in operating expenses.

However, he estimated the new system would bring in an extra $1.2 million in parking revenue each year, with the fee increase on Victoria Street alone netting nearly $200,000 for the city.

Under the plan, a portion of that cash would go into a new parking fund, which could pay for updated equipment, development of new parking facilities or even alternative modes of transportation.

Coun. Tina Lange worried a 100 per cent fee hike might be “too drastic,” but said she likes the idea of the extra cash generated staying downtown.

“Metered parking was put into the downtown core not to make money,” Lange said.

“It’s not meant to be a cash grab. It’s meant to move people along. The reason we don’t have meters on the North Shore is because there always seems to be parking over there.”

However, Coun. Ken Christian said the rates hike isn’t so major compared to the cost of parking in other cities around the province.

“I was in White Rock on Saturday night, about 8 p.m. on Saturday night, and I paid $3 to park downtown to go to the pier for dinner,” he said.

“That is the cost of doing business in White Rock.

I don’t see that having a lower rate in Kamloops is helping the problem.”

Coun. Marg Spina said it may also be time for the city to bring back a requirement for downtown developers to provide parking stalls when they build.

“What I’ve heard from developers is that if we don’t require it, they won’t build it,” she said.

“We’ve got wonderful new apartment buildings and strata popping up in the downtown area and I think we need to address it now rather than later.”

Council also agreed to start an expression-of-interest process calling for new ideas to add parking stalls to the downtown. Submissions are open until Sept. 21.

The parking issue will likely come back to council for more binding decision-making in October.

WHAT’S IN A LINE? One of staff’s easiest suggestions for adding more than 40 extra parking spaces in the downtown core is all about taking away.

Community safety and enforcement manager Jon Wilson told council removing the painted lines that demarcate parallel parking spaces on Victoria, Seymour and other downtown streets could add space for anywhere from 40 to 80 extra vehicles, depending on the size of the cars parked at any given time.

Coun. Nelly Dever worried about cars getting boxed in if that plan goes ahead, but Wilson said cars would still be required to park three feet apart, which is a requirement under the city traffic bylaw.

Crown questions killer’s story

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Crown lawyer called into question the true motives behind an admitted Edmonton killer on the last day of his aggravated-assault trial stemming from a jail-cell stabbing at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre last fall.

Mark Lindsay, the son of former Edmonton police chief John Lindsay, has already admitted to stabbing 21-year-old Michel Fougere, his former cellmate, as well as an undercover police officer investigating him as part of an RCMP Mr. Big sting.

Lindsay, 25, also confessed in court to murdering his ex-girlfriend, 31-year-old Dana Turner.

He said he committed the three crimes in self-defence, claiming to have been the target of a group of vigilantes he called “serial killers” or “healers” who were after him for more than three years because he was a “low-life.”

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley had said previously Lindsay’s story calls into question his mental health.

In court on Wednesday, Aug. 22, Crown prosecutor Will Burrows pressed Lindsay on his story, casting doubt on his intentions and motives.

“Did you tell people you could work the criminal-justice system?” the lawyer asked. “By work, I mean manipulate.”

Lindsay responded sharply.

“I don’t know what the basis of your question is,” he said. “Can you tell me why you’re asking me that?”

Burrows questioned whether Lindsay had created the serial-killer story to “appear crazy” and escape a lengthy jail term.

“I don’t believe I’m crazy,” Lindsay replied.

“Everything I’m saying is not a lie. I’m not attempting to work the justice system. I’m telling the truth.

“It’s been very hard to do so. It’s been a very

up with a chainsaw” in Kamloops if he continued the journey.

He also said the undercover Mountie had “subtly” admitted to being a serial killer.

Kamloops RCMP arrested Lindsay a short time later near McLure, and he was held at KRCC. On Oct. 20, 2011, Lindsay attacked Fougere

Last summer, Lindsay spent 50 days in an Edmonton jail after stabbing Turner, 31, in the head. He was released from custody on Aug. 12, 2011, two days before Turner disappeared.

Lindsay admitted in a Kamloops courtroom last week to killing her, claiming she was “a powerful witch” and a member of the group of serial killers — perhaps even “a ringleader,” he supposed — who wanted him dead.

He dumped her body in a farmer’s field near Red Deer.

On Sept. 17, 2011, Lindsay became the target of a Mr. Big sting. Three days later, he set off with an undercover Mountie from Edmonton destined for Kamloops.

They made it as far as Barriere, where Lindsay stabbed the officer above the eye and stole the pickup truck in which they’d been travelling.

Lindsay testified he had received threats that he would be “hacked

during a game of Scrabble in the cell the two shared at the provincial jail.

Testifying in B.C. Supreme Court this week, Fougere said he was losing and Lindsay was keeping score.

“All I remember was that he grabbed the back of my head, said I was casting black magic on him and he jabbed me in the left eye,” Fougere said.

“Did you feel the pencil go into your eye?” asked Burrows.

“Yes,” Fougere replied.

“Did you feel like you were fighting for your life?” Burrows asked.

“Yep,” Fougere said.

Lindsay then stabbed Fougere again in the same eye, this time with a pen.

Fougere was left permanently blinded in one eye.

Lindsay said the attack, like that on Turner and the undercover officer, was out of necessity, claiming Fougere had threatened to kill him.

“He said something along the lines of, ‘If

that’s why you killed Dana, you’d want to kill me, too,’” he said.

“It became clear to me he was a healer and I felt very endangered.”

Lindsay said he began to fear for his safety.

“I didn’t know if he was going to kill me in my sleep or not,” he said.

“So, I slept with a pencil under my pillow.”

Lindsay told court Fougere had “cast a spell” on him — and he began to panic.

“I really believed I was dying or about to die,” Lindsay said.

“I wasn’t sure if the spell was killing me or he was about to kill me.”

Lindsay decided to strike during the game of Scrabble.

“I got the pencil and I stuck it in his eye and he screamed,” he said.

“I said, ‘Stop working black magic on me’ — just out of my panic.

“I was so convinced

that what I had to do was kill him to postpone my death.”

Lindsay has been ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation to determine if he was suffering from a mental disorder when he stabbed the undercover officer and Fougere.

If doctors conclude he was, he could be found not criminally responsible by way of a mental disorder.

If they determine he was of a sound mind, Lindsay will be found guilty of both assaults and sentenced.

Lindsay is also slated to appear in a Red Deer courtroom in January for a preliminary inquiry on a second-degree murder charge relating to Turner’s death.

He is expected back in a Kamloops courtroom on Sept. 25, at the conclusion of his psychiatric assessment.

RCMP apologizes to Miller

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops’ top cop has issued a formal apology to a controversial former Thompson Rivers University student-politician who spent much of this spring in a jail cell.

KTW has obtained a copy of a letter sent by RCMP Supt. Yves Lacasse to Adrian Miller — the one-time school trustee nominee and convicted fraudster who was elected to TRU’s senate and board of governors last December — in which Lacasse ADRIAN apologizes for the MILLER conduct of one of his officers during a police interview with the 27-year-old earlier this year.

In February, while still a member of the university’s board and senate, Miller was arrested in connection with the robbery of a Tranquille Road pawn shop.

Witnesses described a suspect matching Miller’s description and he admitted at the time — both in an interview with KTW and to police — he was at the pawn shop the day of the robbery.

But, he said, he was not the culprit.

In addition to the robbery, Miller was also suspected of having stolen and pawned jewelry and electronics from his landlords.

No one has ever been charged in connection with the robbery,

but Miller eventually pleaded guilty to charges relating to his landlords’ property being pawned.

Miller, however, maintained he had been treated unfairly by police throughout the incident and filed a complaint.

Miller said Kamloops RCMP Const. Todd Henderson acted with an “improper attitude” by stating during a police interview he would “kick his ass out” and by referring to Miller’s basement suite as “a hole.”

According to the letter sent by Lacasse to Miller, Henderson has apologized.

“Const. Henderson has taken fully responsibility for his actions with regards to this allegation,” Lacasse wrote.

“Const. Henderson has expressed remorse over his comments to you and regrets having said them.”

Lacasse went on to offer his own regrets to Miller about the incident — with conditions.

“I therefore find this allegation to be substantiated and wish to extend my apology to you,” he wrote.

“I am satisfied, however, that Const. Henderson was not acting with malicious intent and did not intend to threaten or intimidate you.

“As a result, I wish to advise you that Const. Henderson will receive operational guidance on this matter to ensure that a situation such as this will not arise again.”

Miller made four additional accusations about Henderson’s

conduct — that the officer had provided Miller’s personal information to Big Don’s Super Pawn management, that Miller was subjected to an improper “interrogation” and that Henderson “accosted” Miller in the parking lot of the Kamloops RCMP detachment — none of which were substantiated during Lacasse’s investigation.

In April, Miller was handed a sentence of 125 days of house arrest after pleading guilty to a string of charges, including stealing and pawning goods from his landlords.

He ended up serving much of that sentence behind bars due to various breaches and new charges.

On June 28, Miller pleaded guilty to fraud charges stemming from an incident at a Kamloops grocery store in March, in which he received a refund for items he had not purchased.

For that conviction, he was handed another 30 days of house arrest and placed on a two-year probation term.

Miller has since filed a fourcount private information against Henderson, alleging the constable acted in a threatening manner on two occasions — Feb. 12 and March 1.

That matter is slated for a hearing in Kamloops provincial court on Sept. 10 to fix a date.

While he is no longer a student at TRU, Miller has an ongoing lawsuit against the university, claiming the school was negligent in its dealings with him as a student.

Families First — when falling in love means less cash in hand

A

YOUNG FRIEND IS celebrating a major milestone in her life this week.

She is having engagement photos taken.

And, yes, that means she is engaged, which was a milestone earlier this year.

I’ve known this young woman since she was a kid and, every time we bump into each other now, it’s just a delight to see such a happy person.

I’ve met her fiance and he’s also a really nice, happy guy who is as devoted to her as she is to him.

So, what’s wrong with this picture?

It’s simple. They both live with disabilities, exist on disability income and, when they marry, will see their incomes drop by $200.

These two young people will never make the kind of incomes most of us make.

They will continue to face challenges most of us never encounter.

Add to that their disability incomes are subject to both means and asset tests, which means if they make money outside the pension, they could be subject to clawbacks.

If they have assets, that can also affect the amount they receive.

Knowing this, I decided to call the B.C. Liberal government to ask how the reality this couple faces fits into the Families First line Premier Christy Clark and her party keeps spouting.

First request went to KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger, mainly because I have always found his constituency staff to be great in getting back to me on anything.

That was true this time, with June Phillips responding within a day, ensur-

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL ing she’d get someone to answer my questions quickly.

She sent another email a few days later to let me know she was still pursuing my request and would make sure someone would call within days.

I’ve always liked June.

Some days, I’ve wondered if the folks who kept voting for Krueger did it just to keep June on the ground here in Kamloops to provide real help when they ran into issues with the government.

She arranged for Stephanie Cadieux, the minister of social development in the Clark government, to call and discuss my very simple question (at least I thought it was simple): How does penalizing a disabled couple who wants to marry reflect putting family first?

Apparently, my question wasn’t all that simple.

There are rules, you see, that must be applied and the overriding theory in the income reduction, apparently, is that two people can live together cheaper than one.

In a perfect world, that’s true, I told her, but these young people don’t live in

that world.

They live in a world where their job opportunities are limited. They’re not likely to ever own a house or even qualify for a mortgage.

They are already barely existing on the amount of money they are limited to each month.

Cadieux — who, by the way, said she was unaware the couple, once married, would receive hundreds less — said the problem comes from the legislation, which falls under the welfare side of government pensions and incomes and must be means- and asset-tested.

She gave me the line about them having lower expenses as a couple than as two single people.

There was a bunch of other government-speak that, in the end, meant simply, “That’s the way it is.”

To her credit, Cadieux did say she’d look into the situation, but then reminded me how hard it is to enact new legislation.

I thought about mentioning the HST bill that went through pretty darn quickly, but the conversation had been going nicely. No need to be needlessly antagonistic.

So, this couple is going ahead with plans to marry. They know it will mean less money.

They know they’ll never make the kind of money our MLAs and cabinet ministers make.

But, none of that matters to them.

They want to be a family.

They know how to really put family first. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

The B.C. Liberals have completely mishandled ICBC — and the proof came last week, when a review showed the company has been hiring boatloads of senior managers and paying th em more each year, with the government apparently oblivious.

There are 32 per cent more managers than in 2007 and they are paid (as a group) 70 per cent more than managers received in 2007.

Fifty-four of them made more than $200,000 each in 2011.

The Liberals insisted, upon taking office in 2001, that ICBC didn’t need to be privatized, nor did there need to be complete competition in the auto-insurance sector.

They have also insisted, especially in recent years, that substantial dividends from ICBC go back to the shareholder — the government.

This means all ICBC customers, and that’s everyone who owns a vehicle, are paying additional insurance premiums to boost government revenues.

It’s a tax grab, hidden in the guise of insurance costs.

The government has now, very belatedly, said ICBC meeds to cut its management costs and manager compensation.

This comes just after ICBC boosted insurance rates by 11.2 per cent.

The simple fact is this: ICBC is being used by government for all sorts of purposes that are far afield from its ostensible role as a public auto-insurance company.

This isn’t new as the NDP did this with ICBC back in its earliest days.

But, it certainly points out the Liberals are just as good as the NDP at mismanaging Crown corporations and sticking taxpayers with extra costs.

ICBC needs to be privatized.

There is no real need to have government operate an autoinsurance company that forces all drivers to buy at least basic car insurance.

It is not too late to stop mine Editor: Re: Johanna Walters’ letter of Aug. 16 (‘Is it too late to stop Ajax from becoming a reality?’): It’s certainly not too late to stop the proposed Ajax mine.

The community advisory group (CAG), a local umbrella organization, recently sent formal input on its concerns about the mine to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office.

The CAG’s diligent and comprehensive work will be important in deciding whether or not the proposal goes ahead. However, it’s just as important for the general population of Kamloops and area to keep contacting their politicians and media about this key issue.

Several hundred people belong to the associations that compose the CAG. But, tens of thousands of people would be affected by the dusty, noisy, open-pit copper-gold mine planned for the south end of our beautiful city.

The mine would just be too close to too many people.

Ajax has the potential to produce big-time negative effects on our health, quality of life and environment.

Sure, the mine promises economic benefits. However, these could easily be outweighed by a decline in tourism and reduction in the number of people who choose to buy real estate, build homes, run businesses, attend university and retire in Kamloops.

Letters, postcards and e-mails to politicians such as Terry Lake, Kevin Krueger, Cathy McLeod, Michael de Jong, Peter Kent and Peter Milobar carry weight, especially since there’s a B.C. election coming next May. Another way for ordinary citizens to make their voices heard is through petitions. The Kamloops Area Protection Association’s petition to the federal government is online at http://www.stopajaxmine.ca/ajaxmine-petition.

I drive — and always will Editor: Re: KTW’s article of Aug. 16 regarding BC Transit’s suggestion that each home receive an annual bus pass in exchange for a property-tax hike of $200 or more (‘BC Transit floats pass linked to property-tax hike’): When I first read this article in Kamloops This Week, I was upset and, every time I think of it, it makes me boil to think the city would possibly raise taxes for a bus pass.

I am a taxpayer in this city and I know I will never take the bus because I drive — always have and always will.

All my friends who own homes and pay taxes drive as well, so I can’t see it benefitting them either.

This program is best suited for a much larger city, such as Vancouver or Calgary, where traffic is an issue. There are a lot of other areas in which our taxes could be used that would be great for our community, but this is not one of them.

Q&A

Editor: Re: KTW’s article of Aug. 16 regarding BC Transit’s suggestion that each home receive an annual bus pass in exchange for a property-tax hike of $200 or more (‘BC Transit floats pass linked to property-tax hike’): I am totally against the idea.

The tax increase would be an additional $238 on top of the $80 we’re already funding, for a combined total of $318 per household.

Maribeth Burton of BC Transit uses ludicrous logic by comparing fire and police services with paying to use the transit system and for saying this pilot project would be “really neat” if it was in Kamloops.

If Coun. Donovan Cavers thinks this tax increase for a bus pass is a bargain, why not offer current riders the pass for $318 and see how many buy it?

I agree with Coun. Pat Wallace in that this idea is not for Kamloops.

Transit is not a viable source of transportation for the majority of people for many reasons, including health, location and service, so why should this expense be forced on them for something they cannot or will not use?

This is why they own cars.

My property taxes are exorbitant now, yet some on council think nothing of increasing the burden by another $238.

BUSING

Bears here, there, everywhere

By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER

reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

An adult male bear chased a group of people while they were walking a dog in Juniper Ridge on Tuesday, Aug. 21.

Darcy MacPhee, inspector of conservation for the ThompsonCariboo said the RCMP received a call regarding the bear at 11 a.m.

He said the complaint indicated an adult and some children were chased and took shelter at the Juniper Place Market.

There were numerous children in the area at the time.

MacPhee said conservation officers could not find the bear.

Numerous bear complaints have been keeping conservation officers busy lately, with the number of complaints being more than last August, MacPhee said.

On Monday, Aug. 20, conservation officers were called to McArthur Island, where a mother bear with three cubs had chased people to protect her babies.

The bears eventually left the area.

“As of yet, they have not shown up, so maybe we’ve gotten lucky and they’ve moved on their own, but I suspect they’ll probably show up there again,” MacPhee said.

That same day, conservation officers were notified of an adult male black bear in the Gleneagles area of Sahali, eating apples in yards.

That bear was deemed a threat to the public safety and had to be shot.

The bruin appeared to be comfortable around people, said MacPhee.

Conservation officers are also trying to find three bear cubs spotted in

Credit Blowing Up On You?

the Sun Rivers area after their mother was hit by a vehicle on Highway 5.

The plan is to capture and possibly send them to an animal rehab centre, MacPhee said.

“And, that’s kind of what the last few days have been like. It’s just bear complaint to bear complaint,” said MacPhee, noting about 17 bear complaints were received on Monday alone.

He said the bear activity is typical with the hot August weather.

It dries up sources of fruit in the hills, which sends the animals into the valley as they search for fruit.

A single adult bear poses a greater threat to humans than does a mother with her cubs.

Though it’s a scary sight, the mother usually runs toward a person before retreating to her cubs, MacPhee said.

A single bear is probably protecting food and, contrary to popular belief, MacPhee said, more people are injured by single male black bears than by mother bears with cubs.

Residents need to ensure they remove food sources by picking fruit in their yard — especially off the ground — and being vigilant in managing garbage disposal.

“These animals are here for food,” MacPhee said.

“That’s the only reason they’re here. They’re not here for anything else and if there isn’t food for them they will leave.”

On Tuesday, September 4th, buses will pick up students 2 hours later than normal for the 10:30 am start, and deliver elementary students home approximately 2 hours earlier than normal.

Regular afternoon bus schedules will apply for in-town secondary students.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES – ELEMENTARY School supplies (pencils, notebooks, etc.) are available at a minimum cost through your child’s school.

TRANSPORTATION School bus walk limit policy to schools and buses in effect in all areas of the School District: Primary students, K to Grade 3-4 km. to a school and 3.2 km. to a bus stop.

All other students, Grade 4 to 12-4.8 km. to a school and 3.2 km. to a bus stop.

City eyes wind farms

By Andrea Klassen

Check our site for more vehicles

STAFF REPORTER

Wind farms could become the newest use for agricultural land in the city of Kamloops.

City council will hold a public hearing to revise its official community plan to allow wind turbines to be built in Kamloops.

It’s hoped wind farms could help the city start generating more of its own power — to meet targets in the Sustainable Kamloops Plan, it needs to produce 10 per cent by 2020.

According to a staff report, the turbines would only be allowed on agricultural land “where population density is low and land is vast.”

They would also have to be a neutral colour, non-reflective and couldn’t be used for advertising.

“The intent is that they fit into the natural surroundings as much as possible,” director of development and engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski told council.

Fernie Road rezoning heads to hearing A plan to rezone 908 Fernie Rd. for multifamily use is headed to public hearing — but, when apartment buildings go in, the chickens and horse will have to go.

Developer River City Enterprises Ltd. plans to build 12 units of apartment housing in three buildings on the lot, which is zoned for two-family residential use.

City staff support the plan, which they say will be no greater in height or lot coverage than what could already be built on the property as it’s zoned now.

However, if the rezoning goes ahead, council will repeal a special site-specific zoning amendment that previously allowed keeping one horse and two chickens on the property.

Council approves carriage-suite request An application to build a laneway home in Fraser Street had a full third of Kamloops city council declaring themselves in conflict of interest

at their regular meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 21.

Coun. Marg Spina and her husband Ross are asking to have their property rezoned so they can replace their one-car garage with a two-storey carriage suite.

In addition to Spina, Tina Lange and Donovan Cavers also stepped out of the discussion.

Cavers has a similar application coming to council on Sept. 11 and Lange has similar rental properties downtown.

The remaining two-thirds of council agreed to move the application to the public-hearing stage.

Ramada developer gets permit City council has agreed to renew a permit for an 80-room Ramada hotel in the Campbell Creek industrial park.

The permit was originally issued in 2009, but expired after two years.

It allows for the construction of a four-storey hotel at 3-175 Kokanee Way. Council agreed to renew the permit, which the developer will have to pay for again.

Spina said she thinks the hotel is a good use of the space on the city’s eastern gateway.

“It’s nice to see it moving forward,” she said.

The British Columbia Lottery Corporation and the City of Kamloops are partnering to build fibreoptic connections between the crown corporation’s two local data centres.

The agreement will see lease fibre from the Kamloops Community Network and pay the city to build entry cables to each of its data centres, The city will also add another fibre cable on Victoria Street between City Hall and Overlanders Bridge for the project, which BCLC will also pay for.

Total construction cost is estimated at $137,000.

“

The statistics reveal the fact that more and more Canadians, at even younger ages, will be confronted by a critical illness in their lifetime.

Fortunately, statistics also show that progress in medical science and improvements in our lifestyle have helped people to survive these illnesses, and to live longer.

Cavers questions Tranquille development

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Another public hearing on the Tranquille on the Lake development is on the way.

Council has approved a hearing for a rezoning application for the 190-hectare parcel at 4600 Tranquille Rd. If successful, the area will become a comprehensive development zone that allows for more than 2,000 residential units and a variety of other commercial, agricultural and recreational uses, including an organic farm, public park and a commercial waterfront.

While council approved the hearing for the rezoning, Coun.

Donovan Cavers expressed reservations about the village-style development, which could eventually house more than 4,000 people.

“I’m still a bit concerned about making our city larger,” Cavers said.

“I know it’s very difficult to calculate, but I’m wondering if the ongoing taxation from this development would actually pay for the services it needs in terms of transit, policing, fire, etc.”

Cavers said he doesn’t want to see the development subsidized by taxpayers living in the

city’s core, and questioned how developer BC Wilderness Tours would find 4,000 people to fill the development.

Planning and development manager Randy Lambright said the area is one the city has identified as a good place for growth.

“For the most part, it will be a private development, whether it will be strata or some other component. We will only have an obligation to provide some of the soft services,” he said.

That would include policing and maintenance of one road through the site, but not garbage pickup, water and sewer service and firefighting.

Derelict-property owner told to fix up house The owner of 356 McGowan Ave. will have 30 days to provide a professional report on what repairs must be done to make the property inhabitable again, after Kamloops council declared the North Kamloops house a nuisance and safety hazard

at its latest meeting.

Following a fire in 2008, the house has stood vacant and become a target for pests, transients and neighbourhood complaints.

Director of development and engineering servies Marvin Kwiatkowski said the

city’s goal is to have the house inhabited again.

Along with the report, the property owner must come up with a timeline for doing repairs.

The owner also has two weeks to notify council if she chooses to protest its decision.

Coun. Ken Christian believes the decision sends a message to other derelict property owners in the city.

“Looking at the history of this particular property, we owe it to the McGowan neighbourhood that this nuisance is taken care of,” he said.

POLICE BEAT In Banff, he is facing charges of uttering threats, assault, theft, being unlawfully at large and causing a disturbance.

Martel’s shipment to Alberta brings to 23 the number of inter-provincial fugitives shipped out of B.C. to face charges elsewhere since last September, but he is believed to be the first with ties to Kamloops.

Helicopter helps hikers Three men and a seven-year-old boy were rescued from an area north of Tranquille on Wednesday, Aug. 22, after a day hike turned into an unexpected overnight expedition.

Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the foursome was expected home from a day-hike early Tuesday evening, but notified relatives by cellphone that the return trip was taking longer than anticipated.

Police were called late Tuesday night after the mother of the sevenyear-old was unable to reach the boy’s father by cellphone.

Search-and-rescue crews set out to locate the group, with help from an RCMP helicopter.

Just after 6 a.m. on Wednesday, the chopper found the group about two kilometres up the Tranquille River.

They were brought out of the area by search

crews on ATVs at about 10:30 a.m.

“Apart from being cold and hungry, members of the hiking party were not injured,” Learned said.

Mounties seek The Source of burglary Kamloops Mounties are looking into an earlymorning break-in at a Sahali electronics store on the weekend.

Learned said two burglars forced their way into The Source electronics store, 1180 Columbia St., just after 4 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 19.

bandits gained access using bolt cutters and a pry bar and went to the back of the store, where they swiped 20 cellphones and tablet computers.

Learned said they were in and out in two minutes.

The first suspect is described as a white man wearing a white painter’s suit, a black hat and black gloves, while the second suspect is believed to be a white man in a black shirt, orange safety vest, black hat, black gloves and blue jeans.

D#8989

A Kamloops criminal who has been a fugitive in Alberta since 2010 has been sent east to face justice.

Wesley Alfred Martel was shipped to Banff, Alta., earlier this month after surfacing as a candidate for B.C.’s fugitive return program.

The 41-year-old was supposed to have been living at his parents’ house in the Okanagan, but was under the supervision of the Kamloops probation office, according to Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk.

“He had been wellknown by our office and the Kamloops office,” Molendyk told KTW. “He had gone between here and Kamloops on a number of occasions.”

On July 23, Martel pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court to assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm and uttering threats.

He had been in custody since March and was sentenced to time served and placed on 18 months of probation.

Martel has a lengthy criminal history dating back to 1989. Most of his convictions have been in Vernon and the Fraser Valley.

In August 2011, he pleaded guilty to drug charges in Vernon provincial court and was handed a 90-day jail sentence.

In 2009, Martel was sentenced to four months in jail after pleading guilty to firearms and threats charges out of Vernon.

He is still just a little mite but mom and dad already feel stressed: what will they do once the little one needs to go to the local daycare?

Admittedly, there are financial considerations; but beyond these, choosing the right daycare facilities is not easy. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;shoppingâ&#x20AC;? must be done early on. You might now have your fourth child while the other three all attend a daycare of your choice and a special place has been reserved for the young one. But other parents, especially new parents have to go through stressful times.

Here are some tips that will hopefully guide you in your search for the right daycare.

Find out what kinds of daycare are available throughout your region. It could be privately owned facilities; municipal authorities run some daycares w h i l e others are provincially subsidized. Some companies as well as some offices in e d u c a t i o n a l and public sectors offer their own in-house daycare services.

Flash flood prompts lawsuit

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Shuswap houseboat-rental company is suing two levels of government for nearly $2 million after torrential floods in June washed away much of its fleet — a flash flood the company says was caused by government negligence.

Court documents obtained

by KTW show Waterway Houseboats Ltd. and Vinco Holdings Ltd. — operators of Waterway Houseboats on Mara Lake in Sicamous — are suing the provincial government and the District of Sicamous for $1.7 million.

The documents, filed on Aug. 20 in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops, claim the June 23 flash flood can be attributed largely to the work of provincial officials in the 1990s, who built a forestry road — Skyline Forest Service Road — to provide better timber access for loggers.

“The natural channel that formed the banks of Sicamous

A Shusway housebout-rental firm is suing for damages and lost business after a flash flood earlier this year washed away much of its fleet.

KTW file photo

Creek was altered [when the road was built] and a culvert was installed in place of the natural channel,” the documents state, adding increased logging after the road was built also caused increased water flow in the creek since the 1990s.

When water levels rose in June, the culvert became clogged with debris.

The end result was a devastating flash flood believed to

have caused millions of dollars in damage.

“The forest-service road effectively became a dam that caused a large volume of water and debris to accumulate,” the documents read.

“A torrent of water, mud, sand, boulders, trees and other debris was unleashed.

“The flood and debris torrent that came down the creek bed was enormous and totally unleashed. It swept away

everything in its path.”

The documents claim the impact was increased because of a bridge — property of the District of Sicamous — that “diverted the flood and debris torrent north and directly on to the plaintiffs’ property.

Waterway Houseboats claims in the documents to have spent $400,000 on cleanup after the flood — money the company wants reimbursed by the provincial and municipal governments.

In addition, Waterway is looking for $800,000 to cover the customer refunds it claims to have doled out and another $500,000 in lost business.

Officials in Sicamous are still trying to figure out how much damage the flood caused.

Waterway Houseboats reopened for limited business on July 12.

None of the allegations in the documents have been proven in court.

Both defendants have 30 days to file a response.

This month’s inaugural Ribfest raised $30,000 for Kamloops charities.

The three-day event took place from Aug. 9 to Aug. 11 in Riverside Park, featuring five cooking teams and attracting thousands.

Ribfest was organized by the Daybreak Rotary Club of Kamloops and sponsored by Interior Savings Credit Union.

“We’re so thrilled with the response to Ribfest by our community,” said event co-chair Darren Wilkinson, who confirmed it will return in 2013.

“We had an incredible turnout and the vibe at Riverside Park, with thousands of the people in attendance, made us realize we had developed a signature event for our awesome city."

Co-chair Sandra Blair said: “The five champion ribbers who have done ribfests throughout North America were impressed with the event.

“The ribbers couldn’t believe the turnout and that Kamloops could host an event that was even more of a success than large city centres. Needless to say, we’re extremely pleased with the entire event.”

LOCAL NEWS

Have a burger, help fight MS Cruisin’ for a Cause Day takes place today (Aug. 23) at A&W restaurants in Kamloops and across Canada.

For every Teen Burger sold today, $1 will go to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada to help fund research and provide lifechanging services for people affected by MS. Diners can also donate $1 to receive a cutout for A&W’s donation wall, or $2 to receive a Cruisin’ for a Cause magnet (while supplies last).

In addition, for every tweet (#CruisinForACause) or RSVP to the Facebook event, A&W will donate 50 cents to the society.

Multiple sclerosis is a complex disease.

While it is most often diagnosed in young adults ages 15 to 40, it also affects children, some as young as two.

MS is unpredictable, affecting vision, hearing, memory, balance and mobility.

Its effects are physical, emotional and financial — and last a lifetime.

Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world, with between 55,000 and 75,000 people living with the disease, for which there is no cure.

Last year, A&W’s Cruisin’ for a Cause Day raised more than $1 million to help the society.

Mandi Kjos woke up on Monday, Aug, 20, to discover a fire burning outside her home at 752 Richmond Ave. She and the other three people who live there got out of the house fine and, when fre crews arrived, they were able to quickly douse the flames, but part of the roof was gutted. Kjos isn’t sure how the fire started, while another one of the residents thinks it may have started from a tree outside their home, which is now nothing more than a stick and is located near the front window. The investigation is ongoing. RIGHT: Tenants sit outside the morning after, following a visit by Kamloops Fire Rescue investigators.

OVERWATER We are sad to announce the sudden passing of Mr. Richard James Overwater on August 12, 2012 at Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops at the age of 64 years.

He is survived by his wife Bonnie, his two sons Jerry (Kelly) and Danny (Kari); three grandchildren James, Jaydyn and Ciera. Also left to cherish his memory are four sisters Elsie, Millie, Pat and Phyllis.

Rick was predeceased by his father John , his mother Martha, brother Jack and sister Margaret.

Richard was born in Winnipeg on February 1, 1948, but the family moved to Vancouver when he was young. He was a well-known accomplished mechanic. Rick loved to travel to see his world. He also was a rancher in Kamloops with his family, while working in the automotive trade. He loved his family, his many friends and will be greatly missed.

No formal service by request.

Should friends desire, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, Unit 111, 450 Lansdowne Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 1Y3 in memory of Rick would be appreciated.

LOCAL NEWS

Too much iron can be a problem Canadian Hemochromatosis Society executive director Bob Rogers will be in Kamloops tonight (Aug. 23) to talk about the country’s most common genetic disorder — hereditary hemochromatosis (HHC).

Rogers will be at the North Shore Community Centre, 730 Cottonwood Ave., at 7 p.m.

Hemochromatosis, a potentially fatal condition, is actually caused by a defect of iron metabolism and can lead to iron overload in vital organs, joints and tissues.

The good news, Rogers said, is complications caused by HHC are preventable if a diagnosis is made before the excess iron causes irreversible damage.

The bad news?

While hemochromatosis is common, the tests to detect it are not widely performed.

DNA testing can confirm the presence of the three mutations known to cause hemochromatosis, Rogers said.

He has been with the Canadian Hemochromatosis Society, a non-profit society, for five years.

“My job is to get the word out about hemochromatosis,” Rogers said. “I’m 61 now and, for the next years until my retirement, I want to give back by helping people understand what we know about hemochromatosis.”

How prevalent is it? According to a study, one in 300 in the general population is affected.

“If we can find one person with hemochromatosis [through testing], then maybe we save their entire family.”

Indeed, by the end of his talking tour this summer, Rogers will have visited many B.C. communities.

Hanes reflects on Blazer career, life

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ryan Hanes knew it was coming, but that didn’t make it easier.

“I was running dryland [training] with the little kids and Bonner called me,” Hanes said.

“He said we have to have a life chat. My heart just dropped. I knew exactly what was happening.

“I had two hours to wait until the meeting.

My whole body was shaking.”

At the meeting, Kamloops Blazers general manager Craig Bonner told Hanes, a 20-year-old forward, he had been put on waivers.

Many young hockey players in Hanes’ situation — disposed of before their over-age season — would have called dad looking for advice.

Hanes’ father, Bob, died from a brain tumour in 2002, so that wasn’t possible, but that doesn’t mean there was any lack of support.

“My phone was blowing up huge,” said Hanes, a born-and-bred Kamloopsian who spent three-and-a-half years playing for the team he grew up idolizing.

His mother, Annie, and older brothers, Michael and Randy, were among the first to hear the news.

“He’s the type of boy that would wish he could play his last junior year with the Blazers, but it is what it is,” said Annie, a longtime season-ticket holder.

“We knew it was coming. So did he. I had a little tear the same day he did.”

Bob’s death shaped the way his son played hockey.

“Going into games,

I would always play for him,” the Brocklehurst secondary graduate said.

“I think it definitely made me a better hockey player.”

That inspiration and the support of family and friends are what kept Hanes going after his father’s death.

“My older brothers and my mom, if it wasn’t for them, I don’t think I would’ve played hockey or been able to do what I’ve done,” Hanes said.

“They were huge impacts on me, and Steve Davidson’s huge in my life.

“He’s pretty much a dad to me since I lost mine.”

Davidson, owner of Kamloops Ford Lincoln, and his wife, Ladonne, were friends with the Hanes family long before Bob died.

“I didn’t think it was my responsibility to help out,” Davidson said.

“I didn’t really think about it at all. We just did it.”

Lord knows Annie could use a hand every once in a while.

If being a single mother with three sons wasn’t enough, she took two local boys — Darryl Lamb and James Friedel — into the Hanes household.

“My house is a revolving door and I don’t have a problem with it,” Annie said.

In the near future, Annie will likely have to come to terms with her youngest son leaving the nest.

“I’m upset because now he’s going to move away,” she said.

“But, it’s a good experience on his part, if he wants to continue his last year in junior.”

That’s exactly what Hanes wants to do.

He’s been entertain-

ing junior A offers since becoming available, but is struggling to decide where to go.

“I have no idea what to do,” Hanes said.

One thing is certain: No matter where he goes, suiting up for any team but the Blue and Orange will take getting used to.

“Its been unreal to play in your hometown with everyone in town loving you,” he said.

“It gets tough at times. You feel like you’ve got pressure on you with all your friends coming out every night, but it’s definitely the most fun I’ve ever had and I don’t want it to end. But, it has now.”

Hanes recorded 16 goals, 40 points and 316 penalty minutes in 181 Western Hockey League regular-season games, all with the Blazers.

Of those 316 sin-bin minutes, 167 of them were served in the 20102011 campaign, when he accepted a fighter’s role.

Undersized at 5-foot-10 and weighing less than 190 pounds, Hanes’ toughness and grit endeared him to the Interior Savings Centre faithful.

“He’s not a huge guy, but he played very physical and very tough,” Davidson said.

“Everybody likes a hard-working, hometown, bare-knuckle guy.”

Well, almost everybody.

“I didn’t like watching him fight, especially when he gets hurt,” Annie said.

“I watch it all and I cringe and close my eyes. Grandma beside me . . . it’s even worse.

She wants to get up and leave. It’s part of the game, though.”

CHL responds to players’ union plans Canadian Hockey League president David Branch responded to the attempted formation of the Canadian Hockey League Players’ Association with a media release on Wednesday, Aug. 22.

“To date, the league has not received any formal notification on the formation of this association or any intent to organize our players,” the release said.

“We are of the opinion that no junior hockey league in the world has made more changes to support the best interest of its players both on and off the ice as the CHL. “Our league is comprised of 60 teams, all of which operate as individual corporate entities. Given this structure, any organization drive would be required to be at an individual team level.”

No. 13 fought for his teammates X From A25

Hanes played a much different role last season.

He scored eight regular-season goals — doubling his output from the previous season — and was plus-12.

“I’d rather be a goal scorer, but to be on a team, you have to accept the role the team gives you,” Hanes said.

“When we lost Josh Caron that year, I think that’s what made me become a fighter. You had to stick up for your teammates and didn’t want other teams to run over you.”

Hanes could not pinpoint a career highlight, but said he will remember most the relationships he made with teammates, noting

Ryan Hanes enjoys working with teenagers and children. He might become a schoolteacher when his hockey career comes to an end. Marty Hastings/KTW

Mark Hall was likely his favourite.

“Souts [Chase Souto] would be pretty mad if I didn’t say him, but I think it was Hallzy,” Hanes said.

A career as a schoolteacher tickles Hanes’ fancy, but No. 13 has plenty of hockey left in him yet.

When he does settle down, it will likely be in the Tournament Capital.

“I think I’ll always have a home in Kamloops,” he said.

Bob never got to see his son suit up for Kamloops, and that’s not easy for Hanes to swallow.

“I wish he could have seen my whole hockey career and the person I am today,” Hanes said.

If Bob were alive, Annie has an idea what he would say to their boy.

“That he’s very proud of him,” she said.

“Really, when you think about it, this doesn’t happen to many hometown kids.

“I’m sure Bob’s smiling down.”

Waiters talks Whitecaps Bladder & Yeast Infection

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tony Waiters has seen this before.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie has been criticized in some circles for bringing in too many players from his home country, Scotland, and from his former team, the Carolina Railhawks of the second-division North American Soccer League (NASL).

When the Whitecaps won the 1979 Soccer Bowl in the original NASL, Waiters, then coaching the club, adopted a similar strategy.

“It’s better the devil you know than the devil you don’t,” said Waiters, who was in the Tournament Capital last week helping out with a Kamloops Youth Soccer Association clinic.

“In 1978, Alan Hinton joined me and we started doing some fairly intensive recruiting — and we recruited from where we knew best.

“We became the English mafia.”

The list of English players on the 1979 championship roster included Alan Ball, Trevor Whymark, Phil Parkes, Ray Lewington, John Craven, Roger Kenyon, Kevin Hector, Jon Sammels, Peter Daniel, Carl Valentine and Derek Possee.

Willie Johnston, a Scot, was also signed, “Some of them were getting a little over the hill and people didn’t like it because we were loading up the team,” said Waiters, who in 1986 coached the Canadian men’s team to its lone World Cup appearance, in Mexico.

“When we started winning, it didn’t matter.”

Rennie’s Scottish mafia is a lot smaller in size, but there are similarities.

New to the Whitecaps this season are Scotland products Barry Robson and Kenny Miller, both in their early-to-mid 30s, as Ball and Whymark were when they came to Vancouver three decades ago.

Paul Ritchie, a Scot, was an assistant to

Rennie in Carolina.

Ritchie, now an assistant with the Whitecaps, had a hand in bringing Robson and Miller to Vancouver, much like Hinton aided Waiters in attracting Brits to Empire Stadium.

Ritchie is a former teammate of both Robson and Miller.

Whitecaps assistant Carl Robinson, a Welshman, also played with Miller.

The jury is still out on the Railhawks brought in by Rennie, as it is on the success of the Scottish imports, but there is some closeto-home evidence the model can work.

“That’s how we built the team,” Waiters said.

“You know they’re good pros and great competitors.”

Tony weighs in The former Whitecaps and national men’s team coach spoke to KTW about a controversial call made at the Olympic Summer Games in London.

Many Red and White-clad supporters were up in arms when Canadian goalkeeper Erin McLeod was called for holding the ball too long inside the 18-yard box against the U.S. in an Olympic Summer Games semifinal in England last month.

The call, made by Norwegian referee Christiana Pedersen, led to the Americans’ tying goal, which forced extra time.

Hearts across the Great White North were broken when the U.S. sunk Canada late in extra time, winning 4-3 and booking a spot in the gold-medal matchup.

Tony Waiters coached a recent Kamloops Youth Soccer Association clinic. The former men’s national team coach also addressed a hot Olympic issue. Marty Hastings/KTW

team coach and former referee, tends to side with the zebras on this one.

“Sometimes, it’s a bit of an excuse to put the onus on the referee,” Waiters said.

“She was well within her rights to do what she did.”

Waiters can understand why some Canadians are upset, given that particular call is rarely made and it turned the course of the game.

Still, McLeod did

hold onto the ball for longer than six seconds, he said, and that’s against the rules.

“One of the American players was counting and made the referee aware,” Waiters said.

“I always have sympathy for referees because I’ve done it before.

“The good thing was Canada won the bronze and it didn’t affect McLeod in the next game.”

Bit by bit, Frymire makes art

H

ERE ARE SOME FACTS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT KAMLOOPS ARTIST BILL FRYMIRE. He’s been a commercial graphic artist for 25 years.

He’s shown his works at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre.

He’s also had his work seen on the cover of author John Grisham’s novel, The Confession.

And, he turned hundreds of matchbook covers into a

Karla Pearce The Creative EDGE mosaic of the famous Marlboro Man that became iconic in cigarette advertisements.

The first time I saw one of Frymire’s mosaics was at a juried art show held at

the West Semyour Street centre, where his work was hanging in the window, showered by natural light filtering in through translucent small-stone pieces, revealing an image of an eye.

Frymire studied graphic design at Langara College in Vancouver and later at Thompson Rivers University.

He uses a combination of photography, illustration and graphic design to create the images he sells on his website (billfyrmire. com).

In 2008, Frymire embarked on a new creative path — creating mosaics.

“I’ve always harboured a desire to create art for the pure joy of it, art that looks beautiful,” he said.

“Art that also has deeper meaning for those who care to look or even touch.”

Recently, Frymire showed his piece Closed Before Striking, the Marlboro Man work, at the prestigious Granville Island Recycled Show, where he has shown works for the past

three years.

Each matchbook cover is placed carefully according to colour and design next to the other, creating the mosaic.

And, there’s a message behind the medium.

Frymire said he created it to represent the 90-million people who have died as a result of smoking.

Each small matchbook represents 50,000 deaths,while medium-sized ones represent 100,000 and the large ones, 200,000 people.

Kamloops artist Bill Frymire has created mosaic works including Face of an Angel (top left), Closed Before Striking (top right) and Annunciation (above). Karla Pearce photos

As an ex-smoker, I found the piece moving and striking.

“For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by optical illusions.

“I love images that are not initially what they seem or those that trick the con-

nection between our eyes and brain,” said Frymire.

“A style I seem to be drawn to is the dissection and reconstruction of visual images, using grids and tiles.

Every work tells a story — or more X From B1

“I have been creating computer graphics using a grid system for decades.

“If you look close enough at a computer picture, you can see that it is a grid made up out of pixels.”

Frymire has created a number of stone mosaics based on Leonardo Da Vinci drawings and paintings.

In Face of an Angel, the mosaic is based on Da Vinci’s Scapigliata.

Hand-cut slate and travertine tiles were used to complete the piece. The uneven rough front surface of the tiles hides the image in shadows when viewed in direct overhead light.

This piece also snaps together from a distance; when you are close, the image breaks apart into the individual tiles.

“I depict faces in stone and wood mosaics because a large part of the human brain is devoted to recognizing faces and, so, it is easier to see than a landscape,” said Frymire.

“When we look at faces, we are drawn to the eyes so I always pay special attention to the eyes.

“My main mission as an artist is to evoke an emotional response in

the viewer,” he said.

“I let the individual decide what the piece means to them but just

as in many things with life, “I like the fact that, depending on the prox-

BACK

imity of the viewer and the type of light on the subject, people will see things quite differently.”

MORTGAGE MATTERS UNIQUE MORTGAGE PRODUCTS THAT FIT YOU AND YOUR LIFESTYLE In today’s competitive lending environment, banks are fighting for your business. The result? Many lending institutions are lowering interest rates like never before and are creating specialized niche products. Here are a few examples: 10 year mortgages – Looking for payment security over the long term? The 10 year mortgage is for people who find comfort in stable financial payments and want to limit their risk to potential high interest rates over the next decade.

Zero down payment mortgages – Having trouble raising enough money for a down payment? The zero down mortgage offers buyers the chance to use only the lender’s money to buy a home. The bank expects the borrower to have good credit and good employment to qualify. This type of product may allow you to buy now and stop paying high rents.

5% cash back mortgages – Can’t afford that truck payment plus a mortgage? If you have a down payment, but can’t afford to use it for both bill reduction and buying a home, then the cash back mortgage is an option. You can use the 5% for anything you want – home renovations, pay off bills, add to savings.

Purchase plus improvements – Can’t find anything in your price range you like? The purchase plus improvements mortgage allows you to increase your mortgage by up to 15% of your purchase price to renovate your home. This way, you can buy a less expensive home and renovate it the way you want – all included in your mortgage. This program does not cover pools and hot tubs, but roofs, walls, kitchens, bathrooms are fine. Purchase plus improvement mortgages are available at very competitive rates.

Equity Mortgages – Has the bank said “no” because of your income, but you have strong equity in your home? There are lenders who will take into account the equity you have built up in your home and lend on that instead of income. 50% (50% ownership) and 65% (35% ownership) loan to value percentages are often acceptable to lenders. The lender will always ask for an appraisal and will expect the borrower to have excellent credit.

Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today. For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca

Are cellphones health risk?

Responsive, Reliable, Professional

T

HERE USED TO BE A LOT OF DEBATE ABOUT IT BUT, NOW, WE SELDOM HEAR ABOUT IT: DO CELLPHONES POSE A HAZARD TO YOUR HEALTH? The whole question of whether cellphones are a health threat has been controversial, to say the least.

The people who want to sell you these phones (with unlimited minutes) and some public-health agencies say there is no evidence of any health risk.

That may be partly true, because cellphones have not been around long enough — and, in the first several years after they were introduced, they were too expensive and not plentiful enough to give us much evidence.

How many people died in car accidents in the first 10 years of production?

So, automobiles must be safe, correct?

Lately, a significant number of researchers say enough evidence exists to warn people of potential harm.

One study in 2008 showed evidence that cellphone radiation changes DNA and causes cancer.

In 2009, Finland issued safety and health advisories on cellphone use — and many other countries had done so before them.

Like other areas of scientific debate, cellphone dangers have mixed science reports.

The American Cancer Society points out cellphone radiation is non-ionizing, which means it is not the type of radiation to cause cancer or change DNA. Others point out the radiation levels are between an FM radio signal and a microwave.

Are you reassured by that?

If we had literally thousands of FM radio stations or several hundred microwave ovens with their doors open, blasting a small city radius, would we be safe?

Maybe the level of scientific understanding that would raise such a hypothetical question points out our ignorance, but should we operate these instruments in such high density as we do if we have this kind of ignorance?

Do we need to see a huge spike in brain tumours before we start asking dumb questions?

To give you some idea of the size of the problem, it is estimated there are more than three-million cellphones in metropolitan Detroit alone.

In recent years, a growing body of international research indicates that prolonged exposure to cellphone

radiation may lead to brain tumors, mouth cancer and, for men, decreased fertility and testicular cancer for those who carry cellphones in their pockets.

Risks may be higher for children.

Bonded, Insured & Licensed

So, science is mixed on this subject, although leaning toward the fact prolonged and extensive cellphone use may be harmful.

But, then again, it’s only your brain — how seriously should we take it?

Limit your cellphone use, shorten your calls and learn to let go of your electronic leash.

Not only will your

The rich, the poor and the hungry

T

WO MONTHS AGO, THE U.S. Department of Agriculture forecast the biggest maize (corn) harvest in history: 376-million

tonnes.

After two months of record heat and drought in the U.S. Midwest, it has dropped its forecast to 274-million tonnes.

By early July, it was predicting the price per bushel would exceed $8 for the first time in history and it’s now forecasting $8.90.

The heat wave in Russia, while nowhere near as bad as the one in 2010, is also cutting deeply into Russian wheat production.

There will still be enough for domestic consumption, GWYNNE DYER but Andrei World Sisov of the WATCH Moscow-based farming consultancy SovEcon said last week he expected Russian wheat exports to drop to 13-million tonnes from 28-million tonnes.

For this and other weather-related reasons, wheat prices are on their way up too.

High wheat prices hit human consumers directly, but high maize prices hit even harder in the long run because huge amounts of maize are used to feed animals and provide oil for processed foods.

World food prices in general are on the way back up — and it’s beginning to look like a pattern, not a series of accidents.

The last big price spike, between 2007 and 2009, had a huge impact in developing countries, where many people spend around 40 per cent of their income on food (com-

pared with only about 10 per cent in developed countries).

If you’re already spending almost half your income on food and the price soars, you just have to give your children less food — which is why some people see the revolutions of the Arab Spring as delayed reactions to the last spike.

Meanwhile, on a different planet entirely, the McKinsey Global Institute, the business and research arm of management consultancy McKinsey & Company, published another report in June.

It’s the latest in an endless series of everbolder estimates by various “global institutes” of how fast the demand for goods and services is growing around the world.

The themes of McKinsey’s new report, Urban World: Cities and the Rise of the Consuming Class, are familiar enough.

The world’s economic centre of gravity is moving to Asia; huge numbers of new “consumers” — people with average annual incomes over $3,600 who buy more than just food and basic shelter — will be joining the global market by 2025.

There are wonderful opportunities out there for clever investors.

The only new wrinkle in this document is the bit about how 65 per cent of “global growth” to 2025 will happen in the City 600, as they call it: The world’s 600 biggest cities.

And, what McKinsey calls “the Emerging 440 cities” — those among the 600 that are in the rapidly developing countries — will account for almost half of the total growth in world demand to 2025.

Then come the numbers.

As the emerging economies grow, they’ll all start buying fridge and baby food and, eventually, cars.

But, nowhere in the report does McKinsey deal seriously with the impact of a predicted total of 2.6-billion consumers, up

from only 0.8 billion now, on world demand for food.

Yet meat consumption soars as incomes rise. Feeding animals to produce meat puts huge pressure on grain resources, so all food prices rise, for rich and poor alike.

Combine the rise in meat consumption with an extra billion people and severe constraints of food production, most of them related to climate change, and world food prices in 2025 could be two to three times higher in real terms than they are now.

That means the poorest starve and that a lot of McKinsey’s promised new “consumers” — those who can spend on other things than sheer survival — don’t make it into the middle class after all.

The same rationing by price is likely to apply to everything else that matters.

The prices of energy and raw materials, which fell consistently through most of the 20th century, are already back up to where they were in real terms a century ago.

There are not going to be 1.8-billion new consumers in 13 years’ time and the poor will be more desperate than ever, and political stability in many developing countries will be just a memory.

The demands of consumers, like the sheer number of human beings, can in theory expand indefinitely, but on a finite planet with dwindling resources and a changing climate the cost of meeting consumer demand is going to go up very steeply.

It is probably going to get ugly out there.

And as for China, the poster child for miraculously fast economic growth —± well, China has one-seventh as much water and one-tenth as much arable land per capita as North America. When things get tough, that is going to matter a lot.

B.C. gets top marks for 2011 milk recycling efforts Environment

Over 15 Million milk empties recycled at Return-It Depots in 2011 British Columbians get top marks for their milk carton recycling efforts as over 15 million milk containers were returned to participating Return-It Depots last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The volume of milk containers returned to participating ReturnIt Depots has tripled since 2006.â&#x20AC;? says Mike Dick, president of the BC Dairy Council.

Rinse and crush milk containers for recycling Preparing milk containers for recycling is easy; simply rinse them out and crush them. This stops the cartons and jugs from smelling and makes them more compact to store and carry. It also facilitates the recycling process. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to remove and bring in the caps too, because they get recycled separately.

proving to be a huge success.

Services are provided by Encorp Pacific, which manages the ReturnIt Depots throughout the province that accept milk containers for recycling. Since the company was first contracted to service the voluntary milk recycling program in 2006, the number of Return-It Depots that accept milk empties has more than doubled from 70 to 166.

The growing network of participating Return-It Depots has made it easier for British Columbians to do the right thing and recycle responsibly. Research shows that the average BC household empties 6.5 milk containers every month and that there are more than 1.8 million households in B.C., so the potential impact on the environment is significant.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no refund on milk empties (because you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay a deposit), but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the satisfaction of knowing you are doing the right thing. Plastic jugs are the most popular form of packaging for milk in BC, polycoat milk cartons are also commonly used.

A fairytale town created from painted sugar cookies, where a kitchen store called Cilantro is green, to go with its name.

Where a trattoria seems to take its inspiration from nectarines and cream and an optometristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clinic is wild with the colour of strawberries.

Down with Us About Wine & Food

By Jake Ootes, Celista Estate Winery

Wine and food are meant for each other.

Look at the dining habits of the world’s best eaters, the French, and the Italians, where wine is the seasoning that livens up daily meals. While in North America the salt and pepper shaker has been a fixture on the table in Europe it has been the wine bottle.

By now you have likely discovered the wines you really enjoy, and, therefore, here is an important rule - understand when it comes to matching wine and food the best wine to choose with your meal is whatever wine you like – no matter what.

If you know what you want, by all means have it. Worried that your preference of a light-bodied Ortaga with roast beef might not seem right? Remember it is your palate you have to please! On a blistering hot summer evening our wine maker, Lee, chose Gewurztraminer to accompany our marinated prime rib steaks, garnished with spices. Sensational! Go figure? White wine with steak? Well, the cool, refreshing wine created a wonderful accompaniment to the spices and bold flavour of the meat.

What is wine and food synergy? When the two are matched and paired, both taste better. How does this work – the same way that the combination of certain foods improves the overall taste. Just think of sprinkling lemon juice over that delectable sea food or grating parmesan cheese over spaghetti. It’s the combination of flavours that makes the dish.

To match wine and food you have to understand some of the basics. Food and wines have different flavours, textures and aromas and pairing them can give you a new, more interesting flavour than you would if you were matching your dinner with milk or ginger ale.

Most of us have tasted the flavours, aromas and textures of foods since we were born and so we have become food experts. Just use what you already know.

How does texture play a role? There is an obvious difference in texture and firmness between different foods. Wine also has textures and nuances of flavours. A general rule is the sturdier and fuller the flavour of the food the more full-bodied the wine

VISIT BCHYDRO.COM/MOVING TO MAKE MOVING YOUR ELECTRICITY EASY.

should be. Once you know the wines, matching them with food comes naturally.

Wines come in light, medium and full bodied. Foods come in similar choices. Just think of the differences of salmon, pork chops, and game meats.

Sauces can play a major role when you are matching wine and food because they can change the entire taste and texture of a dish.

Is the sauce heavy, spicy?

Wine with dessert is sweet satisfaction.

Sweetness, complexity and delicious flavours makes you feel satisfied after a good meal. Coffee has been common but more and more restaurants are adding dessert wines to their menu. Dessert wines are rich and sweet so a full bottle isn’t practical unless several people share.

Hence, the reason for the half bottle.

Drinking wine with your meals should add enjoyment not stress; but it happens many times. You briefly eye the wine list selection in the store and face so many choices and then end up with the familiar. But it can be easy to be more adventuresome and choose a wine to enjoy with a meal.

On another note, I recently attended a wellness luncheon with 80 participants at the Seymour Arm Community Hall where I had the opportunity to speak about the health benefits of wine. Did you know that a glass of wine truly is good for what ails you!

A glass of red wine per day can lower the risk of developing heart disease. This is due in part to the fact that the grown-up grape beverage contains resveratrol, an antibiotic substance that fights against bacteria and fungi and rasises good cholesterol (HDL) levels in the blood. Higher HDL levels prevent blood clots, which in turn reduce the risk of a heart attack.

Flavanoids found in red wine also contribute to the prevention of arterial plaque build-up and hardening of the arteries by the way of their antioxidant properties. This too will lower your chances of blood clots, heart attack, stroke. But its not just red wine that touts health benefits.

White wine has also been found to have similar effects. According to researcher Dr Bill Ghali analysis on overall mortality found that people who drink in moderation have an overall higher survival rate in terms of dying from heart disease.

SIMONE JENNINGS Healthy HELPINGS single out one vegetable as the best, kale is packed with more nutrients than many others vegetables.

It is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals including vitamins C, K and A, manganese, copper and calcium.

It is also a great source of antioxidants, including lutein, which is thought to promote healthy eyes.

Many people avoid kale because they do not know what to do with it or they find it bitter or tough.

Kale is a hearty, leafy green and has a chewier texture than lettuce.

If eaten plain, it can taste a bit earthy or bitter.

How you prepare it is key.

For instance, if you are using it in a salad, first massage the leaves by rubbing them thoroughly with oil and

a pinch of salt, then toss the kale in your favourite dressing and let it sit for about 30 minutes before serving.

I have known a lot of people who have been converted to kale eaters after trying baked kale chips.

Try the simple recipe below for a healthy snack.

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Tear or cut kale leaves from the thick stem and tear into large pieces (like the size of a large taco chip).

Toss in olive oil so the kale is well-coated.

Sprinkle with salt.

Place on a large cookie sheet and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring every five minutes.

Kale chips are done when they are crispy throughout, but still green. They should be crisp but should not shatter when handled.

This is just a basic recipe, but you can get creative with the flavours.

For example, try using a combination of olive oil and sesame oil, use Tamari (soy sauce) instead of salt and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

The flavouring options are endless.

FRIEND SUGGESTED I WRITE A COLUMN THAT INCLUDED A RECIPE FOR KALE CHIPS. I liked this idea since kale is one of my favourite things in my garden and I’m always happy to give suggestions for how to use it.

The reason I love having kale in my garden isn’t because it’s my favourite thing to eat (although I do enjoy it), but because it’s so easy to grow.

I’m a fan of lowmaintenance plants, particularly the edible variety.

Kale is rewarding to grow because it’s one of the first things ready to eat in the spring, it grows all summer through the intense Kamloops heat and is the last thing I’m picking and eating from the garden in late fall.

It actually gets sweeter-tasting after a frost.

This dark, leafy green vegetable is a member of the brassica family, which also includes collards, cabbage, brussel sprouts and broccoli.

Kale has the reputation of being one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet.

Prehistoric hot springs in France? Mais oui!

By Julie Ferguson SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

E

VERY OTHER YEAR I HOUSE-SIT FOR FRENCH FRIENDS WHO LIVE IN PROVENCE. This region is founded on a history going back to the ancient world, which still shapes it today.

A year ago, I decided to trace the story of Aix en Provence’s natural hot springs and discover their influence on the town.

Long, long ago, before early humans migrated north from Africa, hot springs bubbled through rocky cracks in a parched land, forming pools where moss and ferns flourished.

Millennia later, our forbearers walked around the great inland sea and trekked westward.

One group stopped by the springs to rest.

They never left.

The community thrived and more migrants arrived.

Eventually, tribes formed.

Artifacts excavated here show habitation from 6000 BCE. In 125 BCE, when their descendants threatened Massalia, a port founded by the ancient Greeks, the occupying Romans destroyed the tribal settlement.

The Roman consul Sextius Calvinus, yearning for a traditional Roman bath, selected the hot-springs site for the first Roman garrison in southern Gaul, calling it Aquae Sextiae, the waters of Sextius.

Pax Romana brought roads, forums, arenas, and aqueducts to the region, many of which exist today.

So, of course, do the hot springs.

They still gurgle from the rocks under Aix in southern France, near Marseille, ancient Massalia, supplying some of Aix’s fountains with their 34 C water.

The mineral content helps moss and ferns grow on them in such

The pool at the Aqua Bella Hotel in front of Le Tour Tourreluque is fed by an underground hot spring. Julie Ferguson photo

profusion they look like huge green balls, but I know there’s more evidence to be found.

Armed with the history I had read, I begin my quest for the springs’ source in old Aix by the fountain in La Place des Prêcheurs, Preachers’ Square.

Market stalls are pressed cheek-by-jowl, hiding the fountain, except for its obelisk.

This one commemorates Sextius.

I’m early and watch the vendors set up while I enjoy a cafe au lait.

Several of Aix’s many squares hold markets every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and they’ve always fascinated me.

I meander up the narrow, pedestrianonly streets lined with small stores and galleries to discover what St-Sauveur Cathedral can tell me about the hot springs.

I admire the 1661 astronomic clock tower and walk into Aix’s flower market.

Further on, the cathedral’s stones glow gold in the sunshine.

Small as cathedrals go, this has been a sacred site even before the Roman occupation.

The Roman baths were next door and archaeologists recently discovered conduits that

carried water from the hot springs to a sixthcentury, deep octagonal basin in the stone floor.

Here, new believers were baptized at Easter with full immersion and surfaced as Christians “born to new life.”

If you’re quiet, the spirits whisper in Latin.

My quest continues into an area of old Aix called Thermes Sextius.

I march along the restored Roman rampart, close by the cathedral, into the garden of the Aqua Bella Hotel, where the wall and a medieval tower becomes the backdrop to a swimming pool.

Quite a setting for a hotel pool, I think, and soon discover the pool is fed by the hot springs.

I’m getting close to my goal.

The hotel’s assistant manager offers to show me the hot pool in the newly renovated indoor spa.

“Yes!” he says. “This water comes directly from the springs below.”

As I regard the ultramodern spa with disappointment, the guests soaking in the pool are intrigued by my guide’s explanation.

They had no inkling of the origin and significance of the hot springs in which they luxuriate.

The only nod to

the hot tub’s Roman connection is newly installed mosaic decor.

“Can I see the source?” I ask.

The manager responds with a Gallic shrug.

“It’s only a pipe well below the hotel’s foundations.”

I sigh — no romance in that.

However, even without romance, the hot springs still exert their ancient magic, drawing thousands of guests to take the waters in Aix and to enjoy the offerings of this modern spa hotel.

At lunch, the terrace is packed with red-faced people in terry robes ordering steak frites (fries) and fattening desserts after a morning of expensive massages and cures.

When Sextius harnessed Aix’s hot springs for his own pleasure, he cannot have imagined their reach before and after his time.

The waters are directly responsible for Aix’s longevity, its fountains and its expansion in the Renaissance, to say nothing of

today’s tourism.

The endless springs have poured out their sustenance and comfort for the early humans from Africa to the current Aixois.

Even I have been nourished by their bounty.

If you go: • Best time to visit: spring and fall • Transportation to Aix: Fly into Marseille or arrive by high-speed SNCF train (Train Grande Vitesse) at Aix station.

BACK TO SCHOOL

It’s back to the morning-crunch ritual

W

HILE TEARY bedtimes or family dinners can make afternoons and evenings taxing for parents, it’s mornings that Canadian parents have declared the hardest.

Six out of 10 Canadian moms and dads say morning is the most stressful period of the day, according to the results of a new poll conducted by Ipsos Reid on behalf of Breakfast Cereals Canada.

Morning time “thrival” “As a mom and a dietitian, I know how crazy and chaotic the morning can be,” says Andrea Holwegner, a registered dietitian and mother of one.

“It’s important not to skip breakfast. Eating well in the morning is easier — and faster — than many parents think.”

A breakfast that’s high in nutrition doesn’t need to be high in stress.

“Many breakfast cereals are an important source of whole grains and help kids meet their daily fibre recommendations, which otherwise isn’t so easy to do,” says Holwegner.

Thrival Guide at morningcrunchtime.ca: • Combine fruit, yogurt and cereal in a parfait glass.

• Spread nut butter on a banana and roll it in your favourite cereal.

• Add bran cereal to a fruit smoothie to boost fibre content.

• Freeze a batch of muffins or cereal bars using bran or whole-grain cereal.

• Sprinkle high fibre cereal and fruit atop frozen pancakes or waffles

• Make trail mix by combining cereal, nuts and dried fruit in a portable container • If you do need to dash and dine, bring a bag of cereal and a portable cup of milk.

Cereal facts • An important source of whole grains: For many breakfast cereals, a 30-gram portion counts as one serving of grain products from Canada’s Food Guide.

• An important source of fibre: Breakfast cereal is an easy way to meet daily recommended intakes for fibre.

• Place sugar in perspective.: Breakfast cereals, including pre-sweetened varieties, contribute only five per cent of the added sugar in children’s diets.

• A modest amount of sodium: Breakfast cereals account for just three per cent of average Canadian daily sodium intake.

Early

s e c n e i r e p x e matter!

The “me time” connection Not taking enough time to take care of their own needs also ups the stress factor for many parents.

Among those who reported spending less of their time on themselves, 71 per cent say it’s the most stressful part of the day “Breakfast cereal is a delicious, convenient, nutritious and economical option for busy Canadian families,” says Kathryn Fitzwilliam, executive director at Breakfast Cereals Canada.

“It’s our hope that by understanding what’s causing parents stress in the morning and by providing some simple solutions to get the family involved in preparing a healthy breakfast, we can help them smooth out crunch time.”

Think outside the box If you are looking for a change from cereal with milk, try one of these equally quick morning options, as featured in the Morning Crunch Time

BACK TO SCHOOL

Budgeting tips as the kids head back to class

By Melissa Cassar SPECIAL TO KTW

twitter.com/MoneySkillsCA

The days when you could send your kids off to the first day of school with a lunchbox and a hug are long gone.

Today’s back-to-school preparations likely include filling out piles of preenrollment paperwork, lining up carpools and, of course, the dreaded shopping excursions for clothes and school supplies.

If you’re new to this game or simply need a refresher course, here are a few suggestions that can help you save time, money and sanity: • Get organized: Keep a file with letters, emails and notes sent home from your kid’s school for registration requirements, report cards, permission slips, required vaccinations, school policies, teacher and parent contact information.

Find out if the school has a website, online calendar or email list you can sign up for. Also, create a family master calendar.

• Back-to-school shopping: By the time they’ve bought new clothes, classroom supplies and paid for extra-curricular activities, many parents will end up spending several hundred dollars per child.

Unless you’ve been setting money aside all year, you’ll need to determine what you can afford to spend on school-related expenses without blowing your overall budget.

Scoring bargains won’t help your bottom line if you end up paying interest on unpaid balances.

Here are a few budgeting tips: • Before you shop, make a comprehensive list of requirements for each child.

• Use previous years’ expenses as a guide and compare notes with other parents.

• Be transparent with your kids about the budgeting process, including how much money is available to spend. Get them involved in prioritizing expenses between “must-haves” and “nice-to-haves.”

• As an added inducement to save money, agree

that if you come in under budget, you’ll split the savings with them.

• Spread clothing purchases throughout the year so your kids don’t outgrow everything at once.

• Although shopping online can save money, time and gas, don’t forget shipping and return costs, which could undo any net savings.

• Review the school’s dress code so you don’t waste money on inappropriate clothing.

• Ask which school supplies you’re expected to buy.

Go in with other families to take advantage of volume discounts and sales.

• Find out how much extracurricular activities (athletics, music, art) cost.

Account for uniforms, membership dues, private lessons, field trips and snacks.

• Rent or buy used sporting equipment or musical instruments until you’re sure they’ll stick with an activity.

• Factor in public transportation, school-bus or carpool expenses.

Sabrina future Minister of the Environment

• Before buying new clothing or accessories, look for gently used items in the closets of your older kids, friends and neighbours, at garage sales and thrift and consignment stores.

• Clip newspaper and online coupons. Many stores will match competitors’ prices even if their own items aren’t on sale.

• Mobile shopping applications take online shopping to a whole new level by allowing in-store smartphone and mobile browser users to scan product barcodes and make on-the-spot price comparisons, read reviews, download coupons, buy products and more.

The bottom line — plan ahead for back-to-school season and you’ll save money, time and aggravation.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Study time

SUCCESS As students get ready to head back to school, here are some tips to help them have a successful year and get the most out of their study time:

Parents of primary students: • Let your children see you read and set aside time each day for family reading.

• Ask your children to read to you while you prepare a meal.

• Get your children excited about reading by taking turns reading pages or acting out characters.

• Talk to your children about what they read. Ask them questions that require them to read between the lines and think about what they have just read.

This will help improve their reading comprehension.

• Introduce your children to a variety of literary genres and see which one they most enjoy.

• Introduce your children to aboriginal culture and history through stories and other learning opportunities.

• Help your children get a library card and take weekly trips with them to the library.

• Help your children identify difficult and easy homework tasks and get them to tackle the most difficult subjects first.

• Make yourself available to answer questions and offer help, but do not do your children’s homework for them.

• Ask your children questions and have them explain what they have just read or studied.

• Encourage your children to write stories, poetry and songs.

• Keep an assignment calendar on the fridge for quick reference of due dates, exams and how they fit with

other activities.

Parents of secondary students: • Continue with an established homework routine. Make adjustments as needed, such as after-school or weekend time set aside for working on big projects.

• Encourage your teenagers to take 20 minutes each night to read over their notes from that day or rewrite them using colours to highlight important information so they retain it longer.

• Have your children take regular breaks to help alleviate eye, neck and brain

fatigue while studying.

This will help them be more productive and retain more of what they read and study.

• Encourage your teenagers to explore magazines or appropriate websites on subjects that interest them to keep them reading.

Most local libraries carry selections of magazines on a variety of topics, including sports, science, mechanics and politics.

• Keep an assignment calendar on the fridge for quick reference of due dates, exams and how they fit with other activities.

WE NOW OFFER CLASSES CLAS IN VOICE and ACTING

Parents of intermediate/ middle school students: • Set up a daily homework routine. Designate a homework area away from distractions like the television and Internet and with adequate lighting and supplies.

• When it is time for your children to do their homework, reinforce strong study habits by also doing yours: balance your chequebook, pay your bills or immerse yourself in a book.

• Let your children read comic books in their spare time because comics can encourage positive reading habits and can play a role in improving literacy.

FAITH

Unveiling the mystery of faith in faith

H

AVING WRITTEN FOR THE Faith column in Kamloops This Week for years, it is time to write something about faith itself.

In the remarkable story Through the Looking Glass, the White Queen says: “I’m just 101, five months and a day.”

Alice replies promptly: “I can’t believe that!”

The Queen says: “Can’t you?

Try again. Draw a long breath, and shut your eyes.”

NARAYAN MITRA That seems to be the way many You Gotta Have think of belief and FAITH faith.

However, the Queen’s attitude was not one of faith but of credulity.

On the other hand, faith is that quality of life which gives reality to things unseen, substance to things hoped for (Hebrews 11:1).

We live in a “faith world.”

It is a world so constructed that it answers back and responds to faith, a world that echoes what we say and what we do.

To the cynic, the world is cynical.

To the tender-hearted, the world is sweet

and gentle.

And, to the tough-hearted, it is cruel and harsh.

The world answers back to our faith.

It trusts when we trust it. It responds to our confidence.

Faith is man’s highest venture.

Poet John Greenleaf Whittier puts it this way: “The steps of faith fall on the seeming void and find the rock beneath.”

It is a seeming void on which we set our faith.

Beneath us, however, is the unseen reality — and faith gives it substance.

From this point of view, faith is the great creative force in the world.

Psychologists tell us it is according to our faith that we discover values.

We should get along far better in life if we had faith in those about us.

Parents would succeed better with their children, teachers with their students and preachers with their congregations.

It is also the way science works.

Every laboratory is a temple of faith.

Science throws a bridge out into the unseen, and rests it upon the invisible.

The scientist is a man of faith, of imagination, dreaming his dreams of what may be and what must be, working with the invisible forces that co-operate with him and, at last, giving substance to that which was only hoped for.

By faith, Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravitation.

By faith, John Herschel found the unknown planet Neptune.

By faith, Percival Lowell saw the planet Pluto and died in faith, believing what he had not seen, but which later generations since have.

By faith, Albert Einstein found the law of relativity.

By faith, two young Cambridge physicists discovered the secret of atom.

By faith, science believes the world is made not only of things that appear, but of things unseen.

The world should be divided into two parts: • A part that can be measured by the foot rules of ordinary engineer or mechanic; and, • The part that takes in all those things which cannot be measured except by the golden measuring rod that is in the hands of the man who is the angel (as in Revelations).

There is a world of things and a world of thoughts, a world of science and a world of art, a world of substance and a world of values.

We cannot add up in one column all the values with which we come in contact.

The scientist who demands religion submit to scientific tests is as mistaken as the theologian who demands science should be theologically interpreted.

We cannot bring everything in the world

under the same common denominator.

God is the greatest seeker.

Physicist and philosoper Blaise Pascal has put it in an unforgettable paradox: “Thou wouldst not be seeking me, if Thou hadst not found me.”

Faith in the realm of religion is not different from any other form of faith, except its objective is different.

Faith throws a bridge toward God and finds the divine reality.

We are wrong when we say we must verify God and prove Him first and then we will have faith in Him. That is not the way knowledge is gained.

It is not the way scientists or businessmen work.

Religion, like science says, throw out your bridge, trust your faith, put your hypotheses to test, experiment with your dream, your hope and by faith you will understand.

As scientist Thomas Huxley said: “Sit down before nature as a little child or you will learn nothing.” narayanmitra@hotmail.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

Columns should be between 600 and 800 words in length and include a headshot of the author, along with a short bio on the writer.

Submissions can be sent via email to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com.
