TRU: WHERE THE UNFAMILIAR SOON BECOMES THE FAMILIAR

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

“

KAMLOOPS? I didn’t know about Kamloops,” Hayfaa Golapkhan says with a grin, between bites of pizza.

Classes won’t start at Thompson Rivers University for another few days, but this year’s international cohort is already running through a packed schedule of orientation meetings, introductions, off-campus activities — and even a trip to Wal-Mart.

For many students, the university’s international programs aren’t just a first chance to visit Kamloops. They’re the first time these young adults have even heard of the city.

That’s true for Golapkhan, in her third year of her chemistry and at the orientation as a student volunteer.

Though she had dreamed of studying outside her home country of Mauritius since she was a child, Golapkhan’s application to TRU was mostly a random endeavour.

“I really wanted to go out of my country, wanted to see what it was like studying abroad, get the experience and see if maybe the education system is different,” she says.

International student Oriol Salvador is beginning the journalism program at Thompson Rivers University. The first-year student from Spain enrolled at TRU after checking it out online and hearing good reviews from friends who attended the school last year. Dave Eagles/KTW

Her acceptance letter came with pictures of Kamloops. It seemed nice, she remembers. Not too big. Probably good.

She decided to go for it.

In December 2009, Golapkhan started her first semester and experienced her first snowfall.

“I love adventure, so I

was like, ‘Oh, this is my home now’ and, truly, it is my home,” she says.

“The first few weeks are really hard to get to know people but, after orientation, I said to my mom, ‘I’m staying here.’”

Oriol Salvadore has a similar story.

Hailing from Barcelona, Spain, he wanted to do a North American exchange as part of his journalism degree.

“They told me, ‘Oh, you are going to Thompson Rivers University located in some place called

Kamloops.’”

Internet searches and screenings of Tourism Kamloops videos followed soon after.

Not quite a full week into his Kamloops experience, Salvadore is so far impressed.

“It reminds me of places I’ve been for holi-

days,” he says.

International programs come in two flavours at TRU: Short exchanges or full programs leading to a degree or diploma.

The former tends to attract European students, Australians and Brits, says Adrian Conradi, the university’s associate director of international services. The latter brings in students from mainland China and India, as well as other parts of Southeast Asia, and growing numbers of Latin Americans.

All told, the approximately 400 new students going through orientation represent 70 or more countries and account for most of TRU’s gains in enrolment this year.

It’s perhaps not surprising to know the support system that has grown up around them is complex.

The school boasts the largest international student advising team in the country, Conradi says, and each student is assigned a supervisor with a similar cultural and linguistic background.

“You have young people who maybe haven’t experienced other cultures before and they’re undergoing culture shock,” Conradi says.

“That’s happening.

It’s inevitable. And, the

[advisor] is there to guide them through some of the rocky periods that happen at first.”

The culture shock can be education-based, too.

Students accustomed to a memorization and lecture format — “chalk and talk,” Conradi calls it — may struggle with TRU classes. The orientation also begins to tackle that issue before sending students off to get to know each other via Music in the Park or a free concert at Sun Peaks.

There is also a campus intercultural council made up of Canadian and international students, and an aggressive effort to get students chatting to each other on social media in hopes they’ll engage more offline as well.

The ultimate goal, Conradi says, is to get students participating in campus and Kamloops life, which can help stave off depression and lead to greater academic success.

“We’re just showing them what’s here so they’re not hiding in their dorm rooms, scared,” he says.

From Golapkhan’s view, the program has been a success.

“I’ll tell you this,” she says. “My life changed when I came here. My manners changed. I was shy before. But coming to university — no way.”

LOCAL NEWS Bear sightings in Kamloops soared last month and included this sighting in Juniper. Conservation officer Darcy MacPhee said bear sightings are expected to increase in September as the bruins search for food before the arrival of winter.

MacPhee is reminding homeowners to ensure their yards do not have food that will attract the animals.

Expect a busy bear month STAFF REPORTER

reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

September is expected to be a busy month for bear activity as bruins continue their search for food before the winter months begin.

“Their drive to feed during the month of September is probably even stronger than August,” said conservation officer Darcy MacPhee. “It’s an extremely important time for them to build up fat resources for hibernation, so they’ll be feeding full-time.”

MacPhee noted another mother bear with a couple of cubs has been spotted feeding near the B.C. Wildlife Park a few days ago.

Hot weather in August saw a flurry of bear sightings in Kamloops, including one that chased some people in Juniper

and a mother and her cubs that were seen strolling around McArthur Island Park.

The bear in Juniper hasn’t reappeared, MacPhee said, adding he has not received any more reports about that particular bruin.

The family of bears on McArthur Island has since moved to the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve — in the area across Highway 5 from the Sun Rivers development.

“They haven’t crossed the highway,” MacPhee said.

Meanwhile, the cubs of a mother bear that was struck and killed on that highway last month have not yet been found.

MacPhee has fielded a few calls about the cubs, but callers have not been certain of their location.

“It definitely looks bleak for them. I can’t say for sure what

the outcome will be, but certainly it’s a much tougher life without guidance from the sow,” MacPhee said, estimating the cubs’ chances of survival at slim to none.

Glen Grant, general manager of the B.C. Wildlife Park, said the park does not have a role in finding those bears.

He said the park does not rehabilitate bears, noting there is not a facility to house the cubs.

Most importantly, MacPhee said, people need to be vigilant in ensuring there is no food for bears to find in their yards, such as garbage, bird feeders and fruit.

“It’s really in the bears’ interest as well as the peoples’ interests to just take a few minutes and have a good look around their yard and make sure they’re not being part of the problem,” he said.

Changes to the world this salon’s focus

By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

Changes Salon in Kamloops is not only about hair.

The Hillside Drive salon raised the most money in Canada among Aveda concept salons during a fundraiser for a water project in India spearheaded by WaterCan, a Canadian charity.

Changes co-owner Leianne Anderson said every year during Earth Month in April, the salon raises money for the WaterCan program, which builds wells so people in disadvantaged countries can have clean

drinking water.

“We raised the most money of any Aveda salon in Canada,” Anderson said of this year’s campaign.

To put that into perspective, consider there are more than 600 Aveda salons across the country.

Each of the stylists at Changes sold raffle tickets for a haircut and colouring.

They also sold candles and held a dinner and silent auction to raise funds.

They even had a “boot camp” for clients who have a difficult time styling their hair.

Stylists sold tickets to the workshop, which taught cus-

tomers how to style their hair properly, said employee Jennifer Akins.

In total, Changes raised more than $9,000.

Akins raised about $1,500 of that amount and was chosen to travel to Tilwari, India, through Aveda to see the water project the money is going to support.

Akins was selected, Anderson said, because she was the top fundraiser at the Kamloops salon.

About 21 people from salons around the world get chosen to go on the trip and Akins is the only Canadian representative.

She will travel to India on Nov. 1.

Kamloops cancer patient endures nightmare trip

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

After being stuck in San Diego for three days waiting for an Air Canada flight, Dannie Cade is glad to be home.

But, she’s not happy with the national airline and is waiting for some answers.

Cade flies to a cancer clinic in Mexico every month for treatment for breast cancer.

It involves a flight from Kamloops to Vancouver and a connecting flight to San Diego, from where she is driven to Oasis of Hope Cancer Hospital in Playas de Tijuana — and then the reverse trip to get back home.

Cade’s flight from San Diego had been scheduled for 11:55 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 26, but mechanical issues caused delays throughout the day, she said.

Eventually, there was no flight crew available, so she and her fellow passengers — the flight had been completely booked — were sent to a nearby Holiday Inn and told to be back the next day at 9 a.m. for the flight home.

“Before we even left,” Cade said, “that 9 a.m. flight had been changed

to 6:30 p.m.”

On Monday, Aug. 27, the 6:30 p.m. flight was changed again to 10:30 p.m. and many passengers, including Cade, didn’t want to leave the airport in case the situation changed again.

Some opted to buy flights on other airlines, hoping to be reimbursed

by Air Canada, she said.

The next day — and, by then, Cade had run out of her cancer medication she has to take — they were to be at the airport at 5 a.m. for a 7 a.m. flight, although that departure time was again changed to 9 a.m.

“It’s Day Three now of being held hostage by Air Canada,” Cade said, “and people were getting pretty wound up about it.”

As they finally boarded a plane for Vancouver, the passengers were given a pair of 25 per cent off coupons for future Air Canada flights.

They were told they would be greeted by Air Canada representatives at Vancouver, she said, but she was the only one to be met by someone, something she attributes to the notation on her itinerary that she would require a wheelchair.

However, there was no flight avail-

able to Kamloops from Vancouver, so Cade was sent to a nearby hotel for the night and finally got home on Wednesday, Aug. 29.

Her cancer specialist said she likely was not harmed by missing a couple of days of the medication, but that the stress she had experienced would not have been good for someone being treated for cancer.

Air Canada spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick said the airline understands “our customers were dissatisfied; however, it is extremely rare, as occurred in this case, to have back-to-back cancellations due to a mechanical issue with an aircraft.

“Recognizing this, we

immediately offered customers accommodation, compensation and will be refunding this portion of their travel bookings.

“Our staff in San Diego were in constant contact with passengers throughout to ensure they had accommodation as well as meal vouchers.”

Cade agreed vouchers had been given to the stranded group.

“But, I challenge anyone in Air Canada to find a place in that airport were you can get breakfast for $7, lunch for $10 and dinner for $15. It can’t be done.”

Since arriving home and calling the airline to complain, Cade said it has offered to reimburse her for the return portion of her flight.

Low interest rates getting you down?

Let’s talk.

Separating the oil in B.C. from the manure

I

WAS AS SURPRISED AS anyone to hear about the plan by Black Press owner David Black to begin regulatory work on an oil refinery for Kitimat.

I’ll leave it to others to comment on the practicality of that plan and whether it would make the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project more acceptable to B.C.’s government and population.

Black Press news coverage, columns, letters to the editor and other reader comments are not affected by this project — and there has been a range of views expressed already.

Whatever the merits of the refinery idea, it has advanced the debate over pipelines and the place of oil in our society.

And, that’s a good thing because, as someone with a basic knowledge of chemistry and some experience in oil refining, I have noticed a lot of ignorance about the subject.

I’d like to address some of the main misconceptions, which have been exploited by some opponents.

The first one is oil pollution in general and how it gets into the environment.

A global study by the Smithsonian Institution in 1995 calculated the amount of oil making its way into oceans this way: Big tanker spills accounted for 37-million gallons a year, about five per cent of the total marine oil pollution identified.

By far the largest source — 363 million gallons — was oil runoff from land into drains, from oil changes, municipal and industrial wastes and other sources.

TOM FLETCHER Our Man in

VICTORIA Bilge cleaning and other routine ship maintenance added 137-million gallons, four times the tanker-spill average.

Air pollution from vehicles and industry deposited hydrocarbon particles equal to another 97-million gallons; natural seeps added 62-million gallons; offshore drilling discharges accounted for 15-million gallons.

So, that’s the first thing to understand. It’s not tankers and pipelines doing most of the polluting. It’s you and me.

Then there is the propaganda about greenhouse-gas emissions from the oil sands crude. Actor Robert Redford is one of the highest-profile pitchmen for the false notion that “tar sands” oil generates three times the greenhouse gases as conventional oil.

The facts are clear. The most widely cited source is a graph prepared by Cambridge Energy Research Associates, which shows that 75 per cent of greenhouse gases from all types of crude occur when the gasoline, jet fuel and diesel are burned by the end user.

Yes, there are variations in emissions on the remaining quarter.

Emissions from mined oil sands crude are slightly higher than steam extraction, which is slightly higher than conventionally drilled and pumped crude. The most greenhouse gas-intensive crude used in North America is California heavy crude, which is conventionally drilled.

Burning coal produces far more greenhouse gases than oil, as University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver has calculated.

Two U.S. environmental groups, including the one fronted by Redford, have lately been promoting a study that suggests oil sands crude is more corrosive to pipelines. False, says the industry, showing analysis of pipes that have carried diluted bitumen for decades.

The Trans-Mountain pipeline has been carrying crude from Alberta to Burnaby and Washington state for more than 60 years. It has periodically carried heavy crude for 40 years and diluted bitumen for 25 years.

Some of that crude is refined in Washington and the gasoline and diesel barged up to supply B.C. gas stations. And, of course, Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and all other B.C. islands depend on marine fuel shipments.

And, let’s not forget the most common heavy oil used in B.C. It’s called asphalt.

This week marks the start of a new year.

Yes, Jan. 1 is the calendar beginning of every year but, life truly is governed by a September start.

Labour Day (which came and went yesterday) marks the real end of summer, despite the fact there are, officially, another few weeks left in the season, according to the tilt of the Earth’s access relative to its revolutions around the sun.

Today marks the beginning of a new school year for thousands of Kamloops kids and adults — and it can be a jarring change every year, with late nights for little ones replaced with beds hitting the pillow while it is still light outside.

Like the weeks following New Year’s Day, we will witness more bodies in gyms, more walkers and runners on the roads, more hobbies being taken up as September, like January, is seen as the beginning of something new, be it another grade of learning or the time, finally, to quit a nasty habit and replace it with a healthy one.

In addition, September is, traditionally, the best month of the year in Kamloops weather-wise.

While we were drenched in June and baked in July and August, September blesses us with some heat before easing off into the perfect combination of warm days, crisp nights and that autumnal smell that can only be experienced, not described.

So, embrace your new start this week. Start an exercise program.

Take up a hobby. Join a club.

Play some tennis. Resolve to do something for you.

After all, the annual long bleak and cold stretch is not far away.

Let’s enjoy the best part of the new year while we can.

City needs vision for transportation

The Battle of the Atlantic and other war events in Canadian history are honoured on stamps, but KTW reader Guy Black argues Korean War veterans have not been given equal attention by Canada Post.

You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com

Our Korean War veterans deserve a stamp of respect Editor: I am writing to try to convince Canada Post to reconsider its decision to not create a stamp in honour of Korean War veterans — and I am hoping the request may prompt Prime Minister Stephen Harper to help.

I am unofficially writing on behalf of all Korean War veterans and for those 516 brave Canadian men who died during the war.

Those buried on the Korean peninsula remain silent, but they are not forgotten by me, their comrades, families and many others.

Canada Post represents all of Canada and the stamps produced each year play an important part in portraying Canadian life and history.

Since the end of the war in 1953, only a single Canadian Korean Warthemed postage stamp has been made and Canada Post refuses to make another.

The war lasted three long years and tragically saw the death of sever-

al million soldiers and civilians from both sides of the front line.

This world historical event involved many allied countries who fought for the first time under the United Nations banner and with a just cause — to stop a war.

I ask Canada Post and Prime Minister Harper: Why will Canada Post not honour our veterans who succeeded in winning the greatest prize — peace?

Next year is the 60th anniversary of the Korean War cease fire.

Before it is too late and our veterans have all passed on, Canada Post needs to reconsider its decision to not recognize this important historical event with a lasting national honour in the form of a commemorative postage stamp.

Guy Black recipient, Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation Port Moody

Editor: Re: Peter Kerek’s letter of Aug. 28 (‘Time to end driver subsidies’): Thanks to Kerek for his lucid outline of the car/ gas/road cost subsidies. I have read of this before, but couldn’t remember enough detail to refer to it intelligently. If anything, Kerek is understating it.

But, those costs were tucked into our taxes when we were looking the other way.

So, the issue isn’t whether it is worth paying more taxes, but one of where we want our taxes to go.

What kind of city do we want to mold for the future?

I would like to play a part in building a city with plenty of public transportation, widely accessible, ubiquitous bicycle lanes, wide pedestrian ways, less pollution and greater health for those who can and choose to get themselves around without their private vehicles.

There was a public hearing last winter about raising transit fares.

The overwhelming majority of people at the meeting spoke eloquently about not raising fares.

I’m the one who stood up and said, “Take it out of my taxes. Here. I give them to you. Let’s make this system accessible to people with less money. Please do not raise fares.”

They were raised.

I am still eager to see cheaper or free public transit and would like to enjoy the positive changes in our city that would result. And, when this happens, when fares are paid out of property taxes and people get on and off the bus anywhere without paying a toll, I will give up my car and travel on public transit with pride.

Come on, people, let’s have some vision here!

Dare to dream of creating a quieter, cleaner city with public transit utilized to its maximum.

BCGEU workers to strike tomorrow The B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union workers across the province will hold a one-day strike on Wednesday, Sept. 5, in an effort to get provincial negotiators back to the bargaining table.

One-hundred-and-fifty-three communities and 1,785 government work sites across the province will be affected.

BCGEU members work in corrections and sheriff, hospital services, retail liquor stores and warehouses, government administrative and sup-

port services, environmental operations, social work, child protection and probation services.

Walker said the BCGEU is asking for a wage increase of 3.5 per cent in the first year and a cost of living increase in the second year for workers who have been without a contract since March 31.

The government countered with a two per cent offer in the first year and 1.5 per cent in the second year, but withdrew the offer and has not returned to the bargaining table.

No stripper recruiting Despite federal ban on work visas for foreign strippers, university doesn’t expect solicitations

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTERS andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city’s lone strip club boasts a College Career Night every Tuesday, but it has nothing to do with enticing university students to dance for money.

The Duchess on Tranquille Show Lounge in North Kamloops has College Career Night ‚ with food and drink prices aimed at student patrons, among other weekly theme nights.

But, said office manager Chris Hammer, the Duchess has no intention of looking to Thompson Rivers for women to take to the stage.

B.C. Minister of Advanced Education Naomi Yamamoto issued a statement this week, warning universities to keep an eye on their career fairs, after a strip club in Windsor, Ont., announced plans to recruit female students as dancers in exchange for tuition payments.

The federal Conservatives’ omnibus Bill C-38, which became law this summer, included a provision that ended work visas for foreign strippers.

As a result, Tim Lambrinos,

executive director of the Adult Entertainment Association of Canada, has told media in his hometown of Windsor, Ont., that the industry will be looking for potential legal-age employees at public high schools and universities.

Hammer said the Duchess’s dancers are hired from two agencies and are independent contractors who stay for a week, with each dancer performing about 20 dances for between $50 and $135 per show.

“Absolutely not,” Hammer said when asked if the Duchess would consider recruiting performers from Thompson Rivers University or other post-secondary schools.

“That’s more of a headache than you would ever want.”

Hammer said dancers at the Duchess must be at least 19 years of age, noting most are between 21 and 32.

He has known some dancers who use their talent to pay for school.

“But, they go into it on their own,” he said. “I knew one girl who really loved attending school, so she worked all summer and that paid her tuition.”

Despite the warning from

the provincial government, Thompson Rivers University isn’t expecting to see recruiters from the adult-entertainment industry applying for booths at campus job fairs this year.

However, Susan Forseille, chairwoman of TRU’s careereducation department, said in the seven years she’s been with the school, no one in the industry has approached the university — or any college or university in the province.

“We meet regularly, the postsecondary institutions in B.C. We meet a couple times a year and we’re online with emails and this has never come up, nope,” she said.

Forseille said the school vets and “gives critical thought” to all applications by employers who want to use the university job board or come to career fairs, noting TRU and can reject businesses that aren’t a good fit.

But, she’s not expecting to have to pen any rejection letters to strip clubs this year.

“I don’t know why that memo, what motivated it,” she said.

“I can tell you it’s something our school hasn’t experienced any challenges with.”

Car-wash robbery suspect sought by police Mounties are trying to find the man who robbed the Kozyklean Car, RV and Truck Wash at 1796 Versatile Dr. on the night of Saturday, Sept.

1.

At about 9:15 p.m., police say, a Kozyklean employee interrupted a man who had entered the office and was trying to pry open the cash register.

The suspect had his face covered by a scarf and was using a knife in an attempt to open the cash box.

When the employee approached the suspect, he threatened the employee to stay back.

The robber was eventually able to get the cash box open and he stole money.

He left in a light green Ford F350 truck with tan pin-striping over the wheel wells. The vehicle was being driven by a second man.

The robber is described as scruffy and stocky, standing between five-foot-eight and five-foot-11.

He was wearing blue jeans and a dark coat.

Nobody was injured in the robbery.

Anybody with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Cadet learned lessons well Erik Cameron-Inglis of Kamloops was recognized as the top cadet during six weeks of training at Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre.

Cameron-Inglis is a member of the 2305 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps.

The cadets enrolled in the drill and ceremonial course not only perfected their drills, they learned to teach younger cadets at their home corps.

During the summer, 1,150 Army, Sea and Air cadets from Western Canada spent up to six weeks in the Okanagan Valley centre, expanding the training they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming friendships.

New toys bring smiles Donations to the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter’s Empty Toy Box project will be accepted until today (Sept. 4).

Toys collected will be given to children living in the shelter for birthdays and other special days.

The shelter provides these to mothers staying there because often, they are not in a position to purchase gifts.

“Basically, the idea is that every time a child comes to the house [shelter], we try to put together something special for them,” said Jes Stanko, family-support worker at the shelter.

“We try to make it special for the kids because often they’re leaving situations that are out of their control, and they have to leave their toys behind.

“We usually rely a lot on Christmas donations — but, what we get at Christmas goes out at Christmas.”

A list of participating businesses is online at kamloopsy.org.

strain for families in Kamloops by providing 340 backpacks filled with school supplies.

The initiative is part of the Telus Kits for Kids program, an annual tradition through which thousands of backpacks are distributed to young students in need across Canada.

“Back-to-school preparation is a crucial step in our kids’ academic success,” said Pat Bauer, the local president of the ambassadors.

“Each parent wants their child to have everything they need to start the school year on the right foot.

“Unfortunately, several of them are unable to do so due to financial hardships.”

Since 2006, nearly 60,000 backpacks have been distributed.

The kits are prepared by the ambassadors each May during the annual Telus Day of Giving – a special day in which Telus team members and retirees across Canada volunteer in support of local activities.

The backpacks are filled with the essential school supplies needed for each grade: Pencils, loose-leaf sheets, pencil cases, rulers and much more.

The kits are delivered to school districts in June to allow the schools to determine need and to be able to notify recipient children and parents before they break for the summer.

FACING FUNDRAISER HEAD-ON Noah Mastalier, an employee of Full Boar bike store, prepares to take a pie in the face from his boss, Full Boar owner Dylan Methot. The attack was for a good cause as the pair was at the Aberdeen Mall Sears store on Saturday, Sept. 1, helping to raise money for the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride, which supports children with cancer and their families. On Wednesday, Sept. 5, more than 20 cyclists participating in the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride will pedal their way to Sears in Kamloops. Upon their arrival — expected at about 8 p.m. on that day — riders will be greeted at Sears and members of the community are encouraged to come out and show their support. The next day, Thursday, Sept. 6, at 7 a.m., there will be a breakfast by donation at the lower-level Sears entrance. The riders will begin their 17-day, 7,000-kilometre, cross-Canada journey on Wednesday, Sept. 5, with Kamloops the first stop. By the end, riders will have biked from Vancouver to Halifax.

Theatre programs challenged by public to show relevance

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Theatre-arts programs are under siege in universities — and that creates its own challenges, said Michael Mehta, dean of arts at Thompson Rivers University.

With “increasing public scrutiny to show relevance,� universities are being asked if programs like theatre are “the best way to spend taxpayer dollars,� Mehta said.

If they were to ask him, he would tell them it is. “TRU has a rich history of being connected to the community and in a paradoxical way, The TRU Actors Workshop Theatre has one of the most-direct links to the community had a new coat of paint, a light box to is the theatre program,� Mehta said. promote plays installed and some additions inside, as well.

Students get involved with Western Canada Dave Eagles/KTW Theatre, for example, and the public is engaged through the series of plays TRU students present every year. “There is a linkage that is rich and needs to be nurtured.�

The paradox, Mehta said, comes from the simple fact that the more people learn about the theatre program, the more likely they are to ask about its relevance.

There’s a practical reason these questions their farm while coping with The second play is The are being asked he said. Some arts programs their own issues.

Learning through play at TRU

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Choosing plays to perform can be a challenging task for the faculty in the theatre-arts program at Thompson Rivers University. “It’s the students first,� said Robin Nichol. “We don’t want to pick shows we can’t cast.�

There are many variables to consider from age ranges to experience to skill set.

Students just beginning their theatre education must be accommodated along with those who are in their final years or have experience from other areas.

The faculty also have to ensure they prepare a season that is diverse.

Nichol is confident the upcoming season at the TRU Actors Workshop Theatre will accomplish all those goals.

It opens with Village of Idiots by John Lazarus.

Drawn from Jewish folktales, it tells the story of an army deserter who ends up in a Polish village.

The play draws its name from the nickname the Polish village was given — an indicator of the nature of the inhabitants.

As the play progresses, the deserter discovers how similar life is in the village to his own upbringing. “It’s a physical play,� Nichol said, “and it’s a farce, so that’s a challenge.�

It runs Oct. 11 to Oct. 13 and Oct. 18 to Oct. 20.

Skills taught on stage work in other careers X From A17

Thanks to some creativity by Nichol’s son, Fin, plaques honouring achievements of students in the past are now hung on the wall, along with a trophy students won earlier in the year at a theatre festival in Chilliwack.

The Chilliwack event, a provincial directors’ festival, normally attracts just one submission from university theatre-arts

programs “but the buzz was so huge with our students to do it that we took all seven shows” from the TRU festival, Nichol said.

The trophy, however, recognizes not a play but rather a minute spent before a judge at the Chilliwack event.

Nichol explained one of the traditions of the festival’s opening ceremonies is the 60 Seconds of Fame, where students have a minute to sell their

show to the judge.

“It was very clear that people who have been there for a long while know how to play him,” Nichol said of the various minutes.

“But, a couple of our kids figured it out and won the trophy.”

Beyond the esthetics of the theatre — including the light box where productions can be advertised — there are other changes involved with the program.

The box office remains but tickets to performances can now be bought through the Kamloops Live Box Office at its location at 1025 Lorne St. or online at wctlive.ca Beyond the theatre, the program has increased its number of work-study positions to three.

It has always had one where a student

would be in charge of keeping track of costumes and props.

The new positions involve publicity and technical details for the theatre.

Some new courses have been introduced, as well, including advanced technical theatre.

Acting for the camera, which was discontinued a decade ago,

has been brought back into the curriculum.

Nichol said the program usually draws about 150 students.

Many take first-year acting as an option “and get the bug,” she said.

“We get few kids who walk in the door saying ‘I want to be a theatre major’.”

While finding a job in theatre isn’t guaran-

teed, Nichol said graduates have other choices.

Some become theatre teachers, she said, while some use the skills they acquire in theatre in other areas.

“They learn lifeskills, they learn to communicate, they learn to read people,” Nichol said.

“And they learn to think on their feet and work in a group.”

It’s all about the love

Now neither one wants the vacation to end.

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

One month ago, Tech N9ne was preparing for his sixth appearance at The Gathering of the Juggalos — a five-day music festival in Illinois put on by Psychopathic Records, the label founded by the Insane Clown Posse.

Tomorrow (Sept.

5), the Kansas Citybased rapper will take to the stage at Cactus Jack’s Night Club for his first appearance in Kamloops since March 2010.

Speaking to KTW from his studio in Kansas City, Tech said he’s looking forward to returning to Canada.

“There’s a lot of love, a lot of beautiful women, everybody is very nice to me,” he said.

“But, that’s everywhere I go.”

That includes the Gathering — where, after headliners ICP, Tecca Nina is viewed by many as the mustsee act.

“Anything goes,” he said, describing the festival that just wrapped up its 13th year.

“The cops can’t come on the property because it’s private property.

“Girls are running around naked and having sex in the field. It’s just a lot of love.”

Love, yes, but don’t step out of line, Tech said.

“I saw security give one of the Juggalos a saw just to saw a car,” he said.

“One of the Juggalos jacked another Juggalo.

“Crazy things go on at the Gathering of the Juggalos, but it’s all about love.

“If you do something to penetrate that love, it’s not gonna be good for you.”

(Juggalos, if you’re not familiar, are fans of ICP. Sometimes, they like to wear facepaint.)

Tech said the Gathering is something every hip-hop head should see at least once.

Fostering a riding future

AIDE FOSTER wishes she had more female competition, but the 15-year-old can still be proud of winning a B.C. Cup downhill championship.

“I think more girls should ride bikes because it’s really fun and I want more girls to ride with,” said Foster, who splits time between Sun Peaks, with her mom, and Kamloops, with pops.

She locked up the provincial title after Race 7 on the eightrace series.

The four regulars competing in the girls’ 15-to-18-year-old division were no slouches.

Samantha Hoover of Vernon will likely finish second in the overall standings, with Isabella Roeleveld of North Vancouver and

Mikayla Martin of Garibaldi Highlands left to battle for third.

Foster won gold in four of seven races, but the margin of victory was often slim.

(Results for Race 8, scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 2, in Hemlock, were unavailable as of KTW’s press time. Log on to mountainbike. cyclingbc.net to find out how Foster fared.)

Foster, a NorKam secondary student, wanted to try downhill this season to see how she liked it.

“It’s been really fun, but it can be really expensive, so next year I might not do as many races,” she said.

“I want to learn how to hit jumps and free-ride. I want to be an all-around rider, not strictly racing.”

The B.C. Cup series stops this season were in Kamloops, Victoria, Sun Peaks,

Vernon, Invermere, Golden, Courtenay and Hemlock, near Chilliwack.

Riders must compete in six of them to be eligible for the overall points title. Foster completed all eight.

With her parents — “They’re my No. 1 sponsor,” she said.

— forking up most of the travel cash, Foster might soon begin hunting for sponsorship.

Most of her biking partners are male and Foster mentioned several times in an interview with KTW how much she would appreciate some female riding buddies.

“In the way of girls, there’s not a whole lot,” she said.

“I know it’s tough to get up to Sun Peaks, but I think a lot more girls should ride.”

Riding with Foster would be great practise

— she spends plenty of time on dirt.

“When the chairlifts are running, I don’t see my dad as much,” she said, noting she likes all the trails local mountains have to offer.

The young rider is just taking things as they come for now, having fun and riding to get better.

Provincial titles are just an added bonus.

“I’m not even super sure what’s out there,” Foster said.

“I just started riding a little while ago. I just want to get super good.”

Kamloops-area courses crack PGA’s Top 20 Three Kamloopsarea golf courses have cracked the PGA of British Columbia’s first annual Top 20 list.

The PGA polled its members online and by telephone, with more than one-third of the 650-member roster taking part.

Tobiano (#6), Talking Rock in Chase (#9) and Rivershore (#12) made the cut.

Tobiano finished second among public courses in B.C. In addition, those three courses, along with The Dunes at Kamloops, Canoe Creek and Salmon Arm, composed the Thompson-Shuswap regional medalists list.

Shaughnessy in Vancouver was named best golf course in the province, followed

by West Vancouver’s Capilano and the Victoria Golf Club.

Architects Thomas McBroom (Tobiano) and Graham Cook (Talking Rock) had more than one of their course creations in the Top 20 list.

“Overall, almost 100 courses received multiple votes and that just goes to show the depth of the quality of the province’s

There are four distances — 12, 28, 40 or 100 kilometres — from which to choose.

Riders begin their ride from Riverside Park alongside the South Thompson River and cross Overlanders Bridge, continuing along the Rivers Trail beside the scenic North Thompson River and return along the

same route.

Check-in time is 7:30 a.m. and the ride gets underway between 8:45 a.m. and 9 a.m.

Blazers open exhibition slate with wins The Kamloops Blazers iced two very different teams in WHL exhibition games last week against the Victoria Royals, but the result was the same in both matchups, with Kamloops sweeping the two-game set.

The home team’s roster was filled with veterans in a 4-2 win over the Royals on Thursday, Aug. 30, at ISC. Tim Bozon, Jordan

DePape, Chase Souto and Colin Smith — four of 11 Blazers aged 18 or older who played Thursday — were Kamloops’ goal scorers.

Cole Cheveldave went the distance between the pipes, making 21 saves.

One night later, the Blazers downed the Royals 5-3 in Maple Ridge, where Kamloops went with a much younger lineup, including Mitch Friesen, Aaron Macklin and Jesse Shynkaruk, a trio of players that signed

The Grey Cup will roll into Kamloops later this month.

The mug will make its way to Hillside Stadium on Wednesday, Sept. 12, as part of the Grey Cup 100 Tour. There will be more than 100 stops across Canada along the way.

“The Grey Cup really belongs to every Canadian, so our goal for this special year of the 100th Grey Cup game is to bring it to as many cities, towns and Canadians as we can,” said Mark Cohon, commissioner of the Canadian Football League.

The hardware will be at Hillside between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.

There will be photo and autograph opportunities, B.C. Lions merchandise for sale, a football obstacle course and a Kamloops Broncos’ skills station.

Donated by then Governor General Earl Grey in 1909, the Grey Cup has, like Canada, emerged from two World Wars, a depression and countless challenges and triumphs, to be stronger than ever, a tour press release said.

GLOBAL VIEWS

The race for the Arctic begins

R

USSIAN television contacted me last month, asking me to go on a program about the race for Arctic resources.

The ice is melting fast and it was all the usual stuff about how there will be big strategic conflicts over the seabed resources — especially oil and gas — that become accessible when it’s gone.

The media always love conflict and, now that the Cold War is long gone, there’s no other potential military confrontation between the great powers to worry about.

Governments around the Arctic Ocean are beefing up their armed forces for the coming struggle, so where are the flashpoints and what are the strategies?

It’s great fun to speculate about possible wars.

In the end, I didn’t do the interview because Skype didn’t work, so I didn’t get the chance to rain on their parade.

But, here’s what I would said to the Russians if my server hadn’t gone down at the wrong time: First, you should never ask the barber if you need a haircut.

Armed forces in every country are always looking for reasons to worry about impending conflict, because that’s the only reason their governments will spend money on them.

Sometimes they will be right to worry and sometimes they will be wrong — but, right or wrong, they will predict conflict.

Like the barbers, it’s in their professional interest to say you need their services.

So, you’d be better off to ask somebody who doesn’t have a stake in the game.

As I don’t own a single warship, I’m practically ideal for the job.

And, I don’t think

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH there will be any significant role for the armed forces in the Arctic, although there is certainly going to be a huge investment in exploiting the region’s resources.

There are three separate resources in the Arctic.

On the surface, there are sea lanes opening up to commercial traffic along the northern coasts of Russia and Canada. Under the seabed, there are potential oil and gas deposits that can be drilled once the ice retreats. In the water between, there is the planet’s last unfished ocean.

Sea lanes are mainly a Canadian obsession because the Stephen Harper government believes the Northwest Passage that weaves between Canada’s Arctic islands will become a major commercial artery when the ice is gone.

Practically every summer, Harper travels north to declare his determination to defend Canada’s Arctic sovereignty from — well, it’s not clear from exactly whom, but it’s a great photo-op.

Canada is getting new Arctic patrol vessels and building a deep-water naval port and Arctic warfare training centre in the region, but it’s all much ado about nothing.

The Arctic Ocean will increasingly be used as a shortcut between the North Atlantic and the North Pacific, but the shipping will not go through Canadian waters.

Russia’s northern sea route will get the traffic because it’s already open and much safer to navigate.

Then there’s the hydrocarbon deposits under the Arctic seabed, which the U.S. Geological Survey has forecast may contain almost one-fourth of the world’s remaining oil and gas resources.

But, from a military point of view, there’s only a problem if there is some disagreement about the seabed boundaries.

There are only four areas where the boundar-

ies are disputed.

Two are between Canada and its eastern and western neighbours in Alaska and Greenland, but there is zero likelihood of a war between Canada and the United States or Denmark (which is responsible for Greenland’s defence).

In the Bering Strait, there is a treaty defining the seabed boundary between the United States and Russia, signed in the dying days of the Soviet Union, but the Russian Duma has refused to ratify it.

However, the legal uncertainty caused by the dispute is more likely to deter future investment in drilling there than to lead to war.

Then there was the seabed boundary dispute between Norway and Russia in the Barents Sea, which led Norway to double the size of its navy during the past decade.

Last year, however, the two countries signed an agreement dividing the disputed area right down the middle and providing for joint exploitation of its resources.

So, no war between NATO (of which Norway is a member) and the Russian Federation.

Which leaves the fish — and it’s hard to have a war over fish.

The danger, rather, is the world’s fishing fleets will crowd in and clean the fish out, as they are currently doing in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica.

If the countries with Arctic coastlines want to preserve this resource, they can only do so by creating an international body to regulate the fishing.

And, they will have to let other countries fish there, too, with agreed catch limits, since it is mostly international waters.

They will be driven by their own interests to co-operate.

So, no war over the Arctic.

All we have to worry about now is the fact the ice is melting, which will speed global warming (because open water absorbs far more heat from the Sun than does highly reflective ice) and, ultimately, melt the Greenland icecap and raise sea levels worldwide by seven metres (23 feet).

But, that’s a problem for another day.

F YOU’RE A CAR LOVER AND YOU’VE NEVER BEEN TO THE WOODWARD DREAM CRUISE IN DETROIT, IT’S GOT TO BE ON YOUR BUCKET LIST. It’s the biggest single automotive event in the world and, once you experience it, you’ll know why people come back year after year.

Because there is no admission charge and participants come and go as they please, there is no way to get an exact count on the number of vehicles or the size of the crowd.

Police estimates put the attendance this year at 1.3-million people under beautiful, sunny skies.

How many vehicles were on hand is anybody’s guess, but estimates ranged from 40,000 to 50,000.

While the actual numbers are unimportant, it’s safe to say the collection of antique, classic, exotic and simply unusual vehicles at the Dream Cruise would be the largest one would ever see in the same place on the same day.

Vintage motels dating back to the 1950s and 1960s along storied Woodward Avenue may have a tough time attracting customers

LORNE DRURY First DRIVE during the rest of the year, but come Dream Cruise time, the rooms are filled to capacity and the party begins.

Every night during the week leading up to the event, the crowds on Woodward start growing as the classics arrive to cruise a 16-mile loop that passes through nine Detroit suburban communities.

This part of Woodward is four lanes

each way and the inner two lanes are supposed to be reserved for classic cruisers during Dream Cruise day.

A variety of community events are affiliated with the cruise from cars shows to family events and musical entertainment.

All along the route, you see families set up their lawn chairs, bring out their coolers, barbecues and sunshades and hunker down for some serious car watching.

For many, it’s a daylong event; for others, just an hour or so.

Even the kids get into the act.

Next to us on the Saturday night were four or five youngsters with their parents.

“Light ’em up,” they yelled as the vehicles passed by, hoping some

obliging cruiser would squeal a tire or do a short burnout.

Although it’s frowned upon, who could resist the enthusiasm of these kids waving their checkered flags and egging them

Among the many vintage vehicles on display this year at the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit were, clockwise from top, a 1953 Studebaker, 1966 Mustang, 1957 Chevy and a 1956 Skyliner. The annual event drew an estimated 1.3-million car enthusiasts this year.

on?

A few drivers did burnouts and the children squealed with delight.

They weren’t selective, either.

Whether it was a 454 Chevelle muscle car or a vintage, restored 40-foot motor home, they encouraged everyone to “light ’em up.”

On the Thursday and Friday nights before the Dream Cruise, police close off the street at 10 p.m. and send the cruisers home.

On cruise day, police start to divert traffic at 9 a.m.

There are many ways to describe the cruise, but I like to think of it as the ultimate celebration of the automobile.

What better place than Detroit, the Motor City?

This year marked the 18th anniversary of the cruise, which started as a fundraiser for a local soccer field in a Detroit suburb.

It has grown to the point where it is now Michigan’s biggest public event.

My wife and I have been Dream Cruisers for at least 10 years and it never ceases to amaze us the variety of vehicles we see there.

From amphibious cars to Batmobiles, ‘Back to the Future’ Deloreans, Bricklins and everything else under the sun.

During Dream Cruise, Woodward turns into the largest end-of-summer street bash you’re ever likely to see.

In fact, people from all over the world come for the Woodward experience.

One Corvette owner from Sweden shipped his 1968 pride and joy over to the U.S. this year just to take part in

the Dream Cruise and then a trip down to the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky. While licence plates from all over the U.S. are in evidence at the Dream Cruise, a large contingent of Ontario cars are always on hand.

This year, the 200plus member Golden Horseshoe Mustang Association of Ontario was well-represented in the area known as Mustang Alleye.

EXPERIENCE LIFE ACROSS ALL TERRAIN

Event a celebration of the automobile X From A27

Among the more interesting and rare cars from that group was a white 1971 Mustang Grande, owned by Steve Davidson of Mississauga.

Powered by a 429cubic-inch Cobra Jet engine that produces 375 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, this was one of only 34 such cars built in 1971.

Oh, and the list price for that car in 1971— (US) $4,470.

Hardly seems possible, does it?

The suburb of Ferndale is where Ford has a big display with Mustangs like the Boss 302 and Shelby GT500 and other new products like the redesigned Fusion and Focus.

Ferndale also hosts a Vintage Emergency Vehicle show, which also includes classic and historic military vehicles.

Further north of Ferndale, displays of Chrysler and Chevrolet products draw huge crowds as well.

Chevrolet was back as a major sponsor for 2012 and the Corvettes on Woodward car show again drew hundreds of participants.

It’s one giant street party — all brought together because of North America’s love affair with the automobile.

Unique Shelby created Friends of Carroll Shelby, including Ford Motor Company, Shelby American, Ford Racing and many others, have built a unique 2013 Shelby GT500 Cobra as a tribute to the late auto designer.

Ford has also announced it will a rename a road at its development centre in Michigan as a tribute.

Cobra has been the consistent performance label as Shelby worked with Ford for most of the last 60 years.

Shelby was instrumental in the creation of Ford performance vehicles, including Cobras, the GT40 and Mustangs since the mid-1960s.

The unique tribute car was unveiled at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, where Cobra is the marquee of show for 2012.

Using the 2013 Shelby GT500 as a foundation, the partnerships cre-

ated the one-of-a-kind 2013 Shelby GT500 Cobra wide-body Mustang that now generates more than 850 horsepower, with the help of a Ford Racing 4.0-litre Whipple supercharger.

Putting that much power to the ground requires plenty of traction, so the 13-inch-wide rear wheels are wrapped in massive 345-section highperformance tires for extra grip.

Ford teamed up with Shelby American for several key components on the tribute car.

Shelby American provided a specially designed hood, new rear widebody kit, Shelby Wilwood brakes and new 20- by 13-inch rear and 20- by 10-inch front wheels.

The bodywork is finished in the same blue with white stripes that graced so many of the Cobra roadsters built in the 1960s.

Rhys Millen set a new world record and took this year’s Pike’s Peak victory with an ascent time of under 10 minutes (9:46.164) to the 14,115-foot summit.

World record set in Hyundai coupe High-performance racer Rhys Millen claimed yet another world record and overall victory at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb recently.

Millen set a blazing pace to the summit in his hillclimb-prepared Hyundai Genesis Coupe racecar, needing only 9:46.164 to make international motorsports’ most challenging ascent over 14,000 feet.

For 2012, Millen’s race team, Rhys Millen Racing (RMR), made additional performance enhancements to the

current world-recordsetting Genesis Coupe, the same car that set the Time Attack 2WD record last year with Rhys’ father, Rod, at the wheel.

Not content to rest on their laurels from last years’ victory, the RMR team held nothing back in race preparation for this year’s effort.

Special focus was given to maximizing the grip potential of the new all-tarmac course and its considerably higher average speeds.

On the power side, a new Garrett GTX3582

Turbocharger was fitted, yielding 700 horsepower and 700 poundfeet of torque from the Hyundai V6 powerplant.

To handle this extra power, the brake calipers were upgraded for extra thermal capacity, and additional cooling ductwork was installed to ensure optimal brake performance at the summit’s extreme altitudes.

The car was scrutinized for weightreduction potential and suspension settings were further optimized for Millen’s unique rally/ drift-driving techniques.

From top: The classics just keep on coming along Woodward Avenue in Detroit during the 18th annual Dream Cruise on Aug. 18; among them was a Bricklin produced in 1975; and many of the classics sport some non-traditional paint jobs.

LOCAL NEWS MUCH MORE THAN A WALK IN THE PARK With a few yards behind them and 18 kilometres ahead, the third heat of runners left the starting point of the Walk in the Park event at Kenna Cartright Park on Sunday, Sept. 2. The event was anything but a Walk in the Park. Participants were entered into either a 54-kilometre distance, a 36-kilometre distance or an 18-kilometre distance.

Leading the 18-kilometre group was Gordon Flett of Vancouver (bib 302), followed by Jennifer Elfenbein of Kamloops (bib 305), Wes Kibble of Kamloops (bib 308) and other runners from Kamloops rounding out the field.

In Loving Memory of

ROBERT B. MACDONALD April 26, 1958 September 5, 2011

Dearly missed by Lynia Rae Jared, Noeleane (Greg), Erin (Chris), Ryder, Finn, Payson, Georgina & Larry Lestander

Her Journey’s Just Begun Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun.

Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one.

Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years.

Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away.

And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.
