DID THIS MAN KILL AGAIN AND AGAIN IN KAMLOOPS?

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Family members of a Kamloops woman killed nearly four decades ago have made an emotional plea for information about a dead American convict police believe might have been responsible for her murder.

Bobby Jack Fowler died in 2006 in an American prison.

The Oregon man, 66 at the time of his death, was earlier this year linked

by DNA to the murder of Colleen MacMillen near 100 Mile House in 1974.

This week, Mounties announced Fowler is also a “strong suspect” in a pair of 1973 murders involving Kamloops women Gale Weys and Pamela Darlington, both 19.

Weys’ sister, Dianne Weddell, asked B.C. residents to try to recall any information that might help investigators pin the murders on Fowler — or, if it’s

someone else, find the killer.

“Gale was taken from us violently, painfully and abruptly,” said Weddell, one of 13 family members in attendance at a press conference in Kamloops on Wednesday, Sept.

26.

“We, Gale’s family, are asking people to think back to the time in the early 1970s.

“Anything could be important and help this investigation.

“If fear has kept you silent, Fowler can no longer hurt you in any way.”

Weys was last seen in October 1973 as she hitchhiked from Clearwater to Kamloops to visit family.

Bobby Jack Fowler died in an Oregon prison in 2006. DNA evidence has linked him to the 1974 slaying of Colleen MacMillen (top left) near 100 Mile House. Police believe Fowler may have also killed Pamela Darlington (top right), whose body was found in Pioneer Park on Nov. 7, 1973, and Gale Weys (centre bottom), who was slain as she hitchhiked from Clearwater to Kamloops in October 1973. Police are probing any connection between Fowler and the murders of Monica Jack (bottom left) in Merritt in 1978 and Maureen Mosie (bottom right) east of Kamloops in 1981.

Shazam! Cancer ripped off life’s blindfold

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

S

ANDY WOOD had been popping by the radiologist’s office every so often since her biopsy had been sent off.

As a member of Royal Inland Hospital’s diagnostic imaging department, it was as easy as popping into a co-worker’s office at the end of a long shift.

Wood had found the lump after having some pain in her shoulder.

The general consensus was it was probably a cyst, but better to be safe than sorry.

In the days she had been waiting for the results, her lump had developed a nickname.

“It was a little bit of a joke,” Wood recalls.

“I was calling it my ‘third eye.’”

So, on Oct. 7, 2006 — her birthday — she

ducked into the office of a close friend in the radiology department at the end of a long shift to ask again about the third eye.

“It was probably the first time in my life where nobody had to say anything,” she says.

“Because it was just the look on his face and I knew that I was in trouble.”

When she left the office, she made it about 15 feet down the hall before ducking into her boss’s office to cry.

“I cried and cried and she cried with me,” Wood says. “And, then I went to my car and sat in the parking lot of the hospital and it was just so surreal. I just couldn’t believe it.”

Wood had an aggressive form of breast cancer, which had metastasized into her lymph nodes.

But, as she sat in her car, she knew the

disease wasn’t going to beat her.

Beating it, however, was going to require some changes.

“It’s like you have a blindfold on when you’re going through your life and, then, all of a sudden, someone pulls it off and goes, ‘Shazam! How do you like that?’” she says.

Wood describes her life at the time of her diagnosis as chaotic.

Weighing about 300 pounds at the time, she suffered from low selfesteem and had a raft of relationship, family, financial, spiritual and substance problems.

“It’s a big card,” she says of the cancer diagnosis.

“And, it means you’ve probably got more than a couple things you need to work on.

“That’s how I look at it anyway.

You can still register for Run for the Cure

This year’s Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure takes place on Sunday, Sept.

30, at the Rotary Bandshell in Riverside Park.

Participants can run or walk a one- or fivekilometre course.

Registration is still open.

Individual runners can sign up today (Sept. 27) from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Friday, Sept. 28, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. at The Running Room in the Columbia Place Shopping Centre on Summit Drive.

Pre-registered teams can also drop by The Running Room between those hours to pick up their T-shirts.

Day-of registration and donation drop-offs begin at 9 a.m. in Riverside Park.

The opening ceremony begins at 10 a.m., with runners taking off at 10:30 a.m.

Last year, the Kamloops event brought out more than 1,300 participants, running in groups or as individuals, who raised more than $189,000.

Nationally, the run raised more than $30 million in 2011 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, which funds research, education and awareness programs and works to improve the quality of life of people diagnosed with breast cancer.

According to the foundation, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosed in Canadian women, accounting for 26 per cent of all cases.

One in nine women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime and one in 29 will die of it. In 2012, an estimated 200 men will also be diagnosed with the disease.

Fowler an ‘extremely, extremely strong suspect’ X From A1

Weys’ body was found south of Clearwater six months later.

Darlington, meanwhile, was last seen in November 1973 at a downtown Kamloops bar.

Her body was discovered the following day in Pioneer Park.

RCMP Insp. Gary Shinkaruk, who heads up the Mounties’ major crimes special projects in B.C., said investigators feel strongly Fowler was involved in the Weys and Darlington murders.

“There’s a lot of factors that make us believe that there’s a strong likelihood of that link,” he said, not ruling out the potential of future DNA evidence providing concrete proof.

“At this point in time, Sept. 26, 2012, we do not possess DNA evidence linking these [Weys and Darlington] to Fowler.”

Shinkaruk, who said he “would have said the same thing” about the investigation into MacMillen’s death prior to a DNA hit in March, wouldn’t say whether Mounties had submitted DNA evidence from Weys or Darlington for comparison to Fowler.

“What I’ll say with DNA evidence is we submit exhibits and people find DNA on exhibits,”

RCMP Insp. Gary Shinkaruk (right) and RCMP Staff Sgt. Wayne CLary (top and bottom) address Kamloops media on Wednesday, Sept. 26, at the downtown Kamloops RCMP detachment. Police believe now-deceased American inmate Bobby Jack Fowler was involved in the 1973 murders of Kamloops women Pamela Darlington and Gayle Weys, both 19.

Dave Eagles photos/KTW

he said. “We don’t submit DNA.” RCMP Staff Sgt. Wayne Clary said DNA testing often destroys exhibits, so investigators have to make sure they are finished with a particular piece of evidence before submitting it for examination.

Of the 18 murders being investigated by the RCMP’s E-Pana team,

Shinkaruk said, Fowler has been ruled out as a suspect in eight.

But, he said, investigators are working to avoid “tunnel vision.

“Certainly, we don’t want a murderer to get away because we’re no longer looking for them,” he said.

“But, where we are right now, Mr. Fowler is an extremely,

!

P L E H

extremely strong suspect in these two [Weys and Darlington] homicides.”

Shinkaruk asked anyone with information to call a dedicated E-Pana tip line at 1-877-5434822, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

“What that evidence is? I don’t know,” he said. “It’s really going to be dependant on what comes forward.”

Seeking justice for 18

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

In 2005, the RCMP launched Project E-Pana — a task force looking into the cases of 18 missing and murdered women in B.C. It came about after a review of the Mounties’ investigation into the so-called Highway of Tears, seeking to determine whether a serial killer — or serial killers — was stalking women on B.C. highways.

E-Pana is centred around 18 women spanning five decades — 1969 to 2006 — and ranging geographically from Prince Rupert and Hudson Hope in the north to Merritt in the south.

“We looked at not only Highway 16, but also other cases we thought could fit the profile,” said RCMP Staff Sgt. Wayne Clary with the B.C. RCMP’s major-crimes sections.

Of the 18 women, 13 homicides have been confirmed. The remaining five women are still missing.

All victims were either hitchhiking or involved in high-risk behaviour and the 13 bodies were all found within a short distance of one of three B.C. highways — Highway 16, Highway 5 and Highway 97.

Only one case — that of Colleen MacMillen, who vanished in 1974 while hitchhiking near 100 Mile House — has been solved, police say, thanks to an Interpol DNA match linking the murder to American convict Bobby Jack Fowler, who died in Oregon in 2006.

Fowler could be responsible for as many as 10 of the 18 murders, Clary said, but investigators will only call him a “strong suspect” in two others — Gale Weys and Pamela Darlington, both from Kamloops and both killed in 1973.

Clary said Mounties have collected 750 DNA samples, conducted more than 100 polygraph tests and held more than 2,500 interviews over the course of their E-Pana investigation.

1,413 persons of interest identified X From A5

To date, 1,413 persons of interest have been identified.

Clary said 90 per cent of those individuals have been cleared.

When Bobby Jack Fowler died in 2006 in an Oregon prison, he had never so much as been on the radar of police in Canada.

Despite that, Mounties now believe the career criminal — who served time south of the border for sexual assault, kidnapping, attempted murder and firearms charges, among others — was responsible for at least one of

B.C.’s notorious Highway of Tears murders.

Police revealed this week that they received a DNA match in May linking Fowler to the 1974 murder of Colleen MacMillen near 100 Mile House.

Since then, Mounties say, American authorities have begun looking into Fowler’s possible connection to unsolved homicides in Oregon and Texas.

According to RCMP, it’s unclear when or why Fowler, an American, entered Canada, but they say they know he worked for a time in the 1970s for a now-defunct

They also know he frequented bars and pubs, lived a transient lifestyle and enjoyed old cars — vehicles with which he would often pick up hitchhikers.

Beyond that, Clary said, investigators are hoping tips from the public bring in more information about the possible serial killer.

But, he said, it’s also important women remain vigilant because Fowler definitely wasn’t responsible for all 18 of the E-Pana murders.

A call to decriminalize marijuana in Canada

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Union of British Columbia Municipalities is urging the federal government to decriminalize marijuana.

The resolution, which was up for debate at the UBCM’s annual convention in Victoria on Wednesday, Sept. 26, calls on “the appropriate government to decriminalize marijuana and research the regulation and taxation of marijuana� and calls current efforts to deal with pot through the police and court system “failed policy.�

Of the six members of Kamloops city council at the UBCM conference, four told KTW they were planning to support the resolution in advance of the vote. “The current policies are not working,� said Nancy Bepple, who attended a decriminalization debate earlier this week, one that included a panel of legal and medical experts, including former B.C. attorneygeneral Geoff Plant.

Bepple said the experts pushing for decriminalization “had a much stronger argument� and she supports efforts to get organized

crime out of the pot business.

However, she wants to see the resolution pass with a recommendation that the government also launch an anti-marijuana campaign “making it that there are so few places you can do it, and it’s so unacceptable to do, that there’s a big incentive not to use it.�

She envisions the campaign as being similar to current government efforts to deter people from smoking. “In the debate yesterday, everyone supported reducing drug use,� she said. “So, the issue is more centred around trying to disrupt the violence and the criminal activity that comes out of it.�

Donovan Cavers also plans to back the resolution. “There’s a lot of police resources that go into policing marijuana, when I believe that if you regulate it like alcohol, that it works out a lot better,� he said, adding tax revenue from pot sales could go to help those with addictions issues. “There are some good arguments on both sides but, ultimately, I think we spend a lot of money on kind of a losing battle,� added

Authorize

Coun. Arjun Singh, who also plans to support the resolution.

However, Singh is not sure what effect the UBCM’s decision will have on higher levels of government. “I have no idea,� he said. “I don’t have any idea at all.�

Cavers is more optimistic. “It’s a large group of elected officials and I think there’s quite a bit of lobbying clout in the organization,� he said.

Ken Christian said via email he will also support the resolution and supports “harmreduction strategies in relation to marijuana under a regulatory and taxation scheme, rather than a criminal-law approach.�

Mayor Peter Milobar said he has a meeting scheduled during the resolution session and hasn’t given the issue much thought since he won’t be voting on it.

Only one councillor said she wasn’t leaning any particular way on the issue before

the vote. Marg Spina planned to go into the resolution session with an open mind, but said attending the earlier debate has given her a lot of information to process. “I think it’s a very serious question. If people are going to use it, wouldn’t it be smarter to tax it and the government can then deal with addiction problems in the health-care setting?� she asked.

Spina said the amount of money being spent on the marijuana trade in B.C. — from drug profits to legal fees — is staggering. “And, you start to imagine, what if that money was going somewhere else, like health care?�

While she doesn’t see the UBCM resolution convincing the federal government to make immediate changes to the legislation, Spina said if it passes, it will send a message about public opinion. “It’s taking the pulse,� she said.

Highway of Tears work shows police at their very best

A

S SOMEONE WHO HAS never hesitated to criticize the police, it’s time to heap on the praise.

And pile on the thanks, as well, for the work they’ve done in bringing some amount of closure to at least one family.

Closure’s a funny word; do you ever really shut the door on the pain that hijacks your DNA when your child/sibling/friend is murdered?

Whatever the emotion is that they are feeling, the family of Colleen MacMillen is at least experiencing it, thanks to the dedication of the officers who have continued to try to solve the murders of women in the B.C. Interior.

What they’ve done cannot have been easy.

It must have been frustrating, infuriating, demanding and simply daunting, but they kept at it and, in addition to the information they’ve been able to share with the MacMillens about what happened to their teenaged daughter in 1974, they’ve been able to tell two other families with Kamloops connections they think the embodiment of evil once known as Bobby Jack Fowler also killed their loved ones.

I’m sure that team of detectives working on the task force feels emboldened now, perhaps even starting to believe it will be able to close a few more of the files that represent dead women in the province.

Let’s hope the task force can.

But, it’s also important to acknowledge that kind of work.

For every Monty Robinson wielding a taser or crashing a car, there are dozens of other officers who take the gravitas of the badge and the calling seriously and who treat it

DALE BASS Street LEVEL with reverence.

They just want to do good, protect us all and make it home to their own families every night.

I simply can’t imagine that kind of mindset, that kind of determination and commitment.

Heck, I stopped covering hard news, for the most part, here at KTW and moved into entertainment just because it became too hard, too painful to interview some of the marginalized people who came across my path in the last dozen years.

I stopped wanting to meet them because I was tired of knowing them when their bodies were found.

It started with Heather Hamill, whose death I covered for KTW. At her memorial service, I met and spent a lot of time talking with Shana Labatte.

We hit it off and I’d stop and talk to her if I saw her on the street after that night.

Those conversations ended when her body was found.

Later, I got to know a lovely woman who was also homeless, a lost soul fighting her own demons.

She died when she fell into a camp-

fire down by the river.

At her memorial service, emotions were pretty raw and one woman couldn’t handle it.

She stepped outside of the New Life Mission and broke down.

I followed her out, tried to console her and spent more than an hour talking with her.

Her name was Sheri Hiltz and, the next day, her body was found on the North Shore.

Even something as fun as a big birthday party for the women at the House of Ruth brought its own pain later.

I met a wonderful woman there who gave me a necklace that night, saying it was a symbol of our friendship.

I’d see her often afterwards and we’d say hi, share a few minutes.

Her name was Leah Cardinal and it is her memorial you see next to a street sign at the west end of Victoria Street.

Those were just minor moments in a life, but they brought with them such pain and anger. It’s why I can’t imagine how these officers get up every day and go out and do it again.

Look for the monsters.

Hope they find them.

They’re good people doing a dreadful job.

The next time one of their colleagues does something stupid and makes another headline, we should remember those who won’t get those headlines.

This week, they got the right headlines and they deserve our thanks. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Political spin is an interesting phenomenon.

Apparently, no matter what happens, there is some positive aspect that can be mined out of it to offer to voters.

Just a few months ago, Abbotsford-South MLA John van Dongen’s leaving the ruling Liberals for the upstart Conservatives was hailed as a breakthrough for the ambitious Tories and gave them a voice in the legislature.

It was also a great opportunity to revisit a few of the Liberals’ bigger mistakes — the BC Rail and B.C. Place fiasco — and offer van Dongen and B.C. Conservative Leader John Cummins as a viable free-enterprise alternative to the ruling party.

Fast forward from March to last weekend and suddenly losing van Dongen is OK with the Conservatives and a beleaguered Cummins is carrying on as leader, despite the fact 28 per cent of the delegates at last weekend’s convention wanted a review.

That is, they wanted to see what their options were, other than Cummins of course.

The party also lost John Martin to the Liberals — and he had just run in the Chilliwack-Hope byelection in April as a Conservative.

To say it was not a good week for the Conservatives is a huge understatement, no matter what their leader and his followers may say.

In fact, the Liberals, who are still struggling to gain any kind of traction, can certainly point to the trials and tribulations of the struggling Conservatives as reason enough to proclaim the Cummins crew is not a viable option.

Meanwhile, the B.C. NDP continues to lead the polls while watching from the sidelines, enjoying the view from the left side as the right side keeps tripping over itself.

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Story: Kamloops councillors likely to support marijuana decriminalization: “My concern concerning the decriminalization of marijuana is what to do about the United States and other Canadian provinces.

“Canada only represents 10 per cent of the North American marijuana market.

Even if it were legal right across Canada it would still be illegal in the U.S. and, since no ‘legal’ producer would ever be licensed to market across the border, the smuggling, illegal grow-ops and gang activity would continue unabated.

“Our southern border would be tighter than ever and anyone caught crossing the line with a roach in their ashtray or a doobie in their cigarette pack could conceivably face some very stiff penalties.

“The only way decriminalization is going to work in any meaningful way is if all of North America joins the program — and good luck with that.”

Editor: I am compelled to quote Philip Hochstein, president of the Independent Contractors and Businesses Association, who spoke to the Province newspaper following B.C. NDP Leader Adrian Dix’s recent speech to the Vancouver Board of Trade.

When asked to comment on Dix’s speech, Hochstein said: “I understand how he is going to regulate it and increase the regulatory burden. I understand he’s going to tax it to increase corporate taxes. But, how is he gong to grow the economy?”

This is a critical question we should all be asking ourselves. If we believe small business is the engine of the economy, how can a government so clearly against small business be good for the economy?

The NDP’s attack on small business started two years ago with its politicization of the HST and its poor implementation. This tax — although not good for those who do not contribute to the economy, yet resented paying a little extra for that dinner out — was critical in making B.C.’s small-manufacturing businesses competitive with those in other provinces and to help pay for health care and education services.

With Dix’s recent confirmation that he will raise business taxes and levy banks with an increased tax if elected, his attack on small business intensifies.

Small businesses need three things to survive — competitiveness, capital and profit.

The elimination of the HST took care of the first requirement and the increased corporate and bank taxes will take care of the other two. If small business cannot make a profit or access cheap capital, it will go away.

Small-business owners are resilient and I am sure that, if the NDP was able to sit us down and explain there was a plan in place that would offset the damage being proposed and the economy would grow because of X,Y or Z, we would listen.

Unfortunately we have not heard it yet.

The NDP needs to show us the argument and give us a reason to stick around should it be elected because I love B.C. and would hate to have to leave.

Harper follows free-trade ideology, not Christian agenda Editor: Re: Bill Ligertwood’s letter of Sept.

20 (‘Do we want Canada’s Tea Party in Charge?’): According to Ligertwood, it now seems it is God’s fault we have Stephen Harper as our prime minister.

I share Ligertwood’s concern regarding many, if not all, the directions the Harper government is taking this country.

However, Ligertwood’s contention that

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

the government’s directions are based on Harper’s evangelical Christian faith seem to me rather false.

For example, Harper has been anything but strident against same-sex marriage or the recriminalization of abortion, both objectives being high on the agenda of most evangelical Christian groups.

I believe Harper’s motivations are more bound to his belief in free-market ideology.

Ligertwood would be far more productive in joining many individual Christians, Christian denominations, other faith groups and tolerant atheists in working for social justice and a more equalitarian Canada, rather than blaming every ill on a God in which he does not believe.

Hanson ordered away from teen Former bus driver’s appeal rejected and protection order issued

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A former Kamloops school-bus driver who was fired earlier this year after developing a “particularly close relationship” with a teen on his route will have to stay at least 50 metres away from the girl at all times, a judge has ruled.

Merv Hanson lost his appeal of an interim order — called a protective-intervention order — placed on him by social workers with the Ministry of Children and Family Development in May, two months after he was fired by the Kamloops-Thompson school district.

Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison rejected Hanson’s appeal during a 30-minute hearing on Tuesday, Sept. 25.

Hanson, 60, was ordered to have no contact with the girl, now 16, and banned from being within 50 metres of her home, school or workplace.

During a series of hearings dating back to June, court heard Hanson and the girl developed a relationship last fall.

At the time, she was a passenger on his bus route.

Hanson claimed to have been trying to help the girl by listening to her problems and offering free music lessons — sessions in his North Kamloops home that would last as long as 10 hours.

However, the girl’s parents claimed Hanson was actu-

Former school-bus driver Merv Hanson has been ordered to stay 50 metres away from a teenaged girl.

ally driving a wedge between them and their daughter.

The girl was eventually placed in foster care, but ran away for a time and stayed with Hanson.

“Mr. Hanson has a grandiose view of his

own abilities and his proficiency in counselling, though he has no training and all the wrong life experience,” Harrison said in reading his decision.

“There are reasonable grounds to believe that ongoing contact with [the girl] and Mr. Hanson would endanger her wellbeing.”

Court heard evidence from social workers about Hanson’s troubled past, including multiple run-ins with police and ministry officials dating back to the 1990s.

Hanson was never charged criminally, but Harrison said the unproven allegations suggest he may not be suited to counselling kids.

Harrison also men-

tioned other incidents with students on Hanson’s bus route, including a group of teens he invited camping and a girl with whom he carried on a prolonged online relationship, even after she moved out of province.

“It’s remarkable in its reflection of Mr. Hanson’s lack of understanding of boundaries,” the judge said, referencing a 39-page Facebook transcript containing private messages between Hanson and a teen he used to drive to school — a conversation the ministry’s lawyer described as “an example of grooming.”

Court has previously heard out-ofprovince police are investigating Hanson

for harassment in relation to the Facebook messages.

Throughout the hearings, Hanson claimed ministry social workers were lying in their accusations about his past — a notion Harrison called “a bald say-so.”

The order against Hanson will last six months.

Columbia Street Closures The City of Kamloops would like to inform residents of upcoming road closures beginning September 24th for important culvert repairs.

Temporary lane closures and sidewalk closures will affect Columbia Street between 5th Ave and 6th Ave. Delays are anticipated to occur between September 24 and the end of October.

Directional flow and transit routes will be maintained throughout the work; however expect delays or use alternative routes. If you must drive through the area, please slow down, use caution and obey all traffic persons. The City of Kamloops appreciates your cooperation.

More time to study mind

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

The son of a former Edmonton police chief who admitted in a Kamloops courtroom last month to murdering his girlfriend in Alberta last year before committing two more violent attacks — one on an undercover cop and the other against a cellmate — will have to wait a few more weeks to learn his fate.

Mark Lindsay appeared briefly in B.C. Supreme Court on Tuesday, Sept. 25, for what was supposed to be a fix-date hearing at the conclusion of his 30-day in-custody psychiatric assessment.

Instead, court heard, the doctor writ-

ing the report on the 25-year-old’s mental health has asked for some more time. “We just learned very recently that the report has not been completed,� said defence lawyer Don Campbell.

Lindsay stood trial in August on charges stemming from two separate incidents.

First, last September, he was charged with robbery, aggravated assault and possession of a weapon after an attack on an undercover RCMP officer in Barriere.

Lindsay was the target of an undercover Mr. Big sting — elaborate operations in which officers pose as gangsters in an attempt to gain the trust of an accused and eventually get a confession.

A doctor says he needs more time to study the mental health of admitted killer Mark Lindsay.

The sting was launched in response to the disappearance of Dana Turner, Lindsay’s former girlfriend, who was last seen in Edmonton hours after Lindsay finished serving a 50-day jail term for stabbing her in the head.

Lindsay admitted in court last month to stabbing the under-

cover Mountie and to killing Turner, but said both had been members of a group of “serial killers� who wanted him dead.

He also admitted to stabbing his cellmate, 21-year-old Michel Fougere, at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre a month after his arrest following the Barriere incident.

Lindsay told court he believed Fougere also had ties to the serial killers.

At the conclusion of Lindsay’s trials, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley ordered he undergo a 30-day psychiatric assessment to determine mental fitness.

Lindsay is due back in court on Oct. 19, at which time the report is expected to be complete.

The preliminary inquiry of a Kamloops man accused of stabbing to death his friend at a downtown house party earlier this year will likely be shorter than lawyers had hoped.

Torbin Alec is charged with second-degree murder in relation to the stabbing death of Jesse Seymour on July 15.

The 29-year-old, who has been in custody since his arrest a short time after Seymour’s death, did not appear in court when lawyers met to set a date for preliminary inquiry.

Prosecutor Rob Bruneau, appearing by phone from Kelowna, said he is still waiting for more information from police.

“I’ve been in touch with the investigating officer,” he said.

“He has not provided any detailed disclosure at all, but he insists it will be coming some time toward the end of this week.”

Bruneau told Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame he would like to see seven days set aside for Alec’s preliminary inquiry — a hearing at which a judge decides whether there is enough evidence for a matter to proceed to trial.

Frame, however, said the lawyers are probably going to have to make due with less time.

“From the administrative perspective, seven days is far too long for a case of this nature,” the judge said, telling the lawyers to set aside two days instead.

“You can appear before whichever judge is on the file and make a pitch for the extra five days.”

Bruneau and defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen will appear in court on Oct. 11 to set a date for the preliminary inquiry.

Years go by, before we know the depth of her concern, The love in her protectiveness it takes so long to learn...

B

JEFFREY HOWARD STRUTHERS May 15th, 1932 ~ September 18th, 2012 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jeffrey Howard Struthers on September 18, 2012 at the age of 80. Jeff is survived by Elsie, his loving wife of 55 years, and his son, Rob and daughter in law, Kim Collins of Prince George. Jeff was a heavy equipment operator for the Operating Engineers since 1965 and was very proud of the projects that he was a part of throughout BC. Jeff and Elsie spent much of their leisure time fishing in the lakes in the North Thompson area. He loved the outdoors. Jeff and Elsie were residents at The Hamlets in Westsyde where they were able to visit each other daily. I would like to send my heartfelt thanks to the staff at The Hamlets for the loving care that they gave my father over the last few years, and for the continued support and care they are giving my mother.

As per Dad’s request there will not be a service.

One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky ashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life ashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.�

The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.�

Ajax mine on UBCM menu this morning

What a boy needs after a hard day riding the rails on the Kamloops 2141 steam train is a good serving of cake. Mason Berg and mom, Hanna, enjoyed both during the recent Kamloops Heritage Railway 100-year celebration. Next up is the Ghost Train.

Go online to kamrail.com for information. George Wycherley/KTW

Kamloops councillors were set to air concerns about the proposed Ajax mine at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention this morning (Sept. 27) in the second of two meetings scheduled on the issue.

On Wednesday, Sept. 26, Mayor Peter Milobar and councillors attending the Victoria convention were meeting with Minister for Energy and Mines Rich Coleman.

Today, they’ll be discussing the mine’s location and possible impacts on the city with Environment Minister and Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake.

“They’re really quick 15-minute conversations, so I was told, depending on

OUR SNOW

how it all goes, we might not all even get a chance to speak,” Coun. Donovan Cavers told KTW in advance of the meetings.

“But, I definitely want to raise the point of how many concerns people have in Kamloops — we get letters almost on a daily basis — and just to make sure they understand the level of concerns.”

While Minister for Community, Sport and Cultural Development Bill Bennett warned UBCM delegates prior to the convention that the province is short on cash to finance new projects in its communities, Milobar said he wasn’t expecting that to change the tone of other ministerial meetings Kamloops has set up over the week.

“I’m not overly surprised. Times are tight for all forms of government, I think, and for us,” he said.

However, for some of Kamloops’ longterm goals — continued expansion of the Royal Inland Hospital, for one — keeping the discussion going until there are funds available is key.

“I totally understand

and get that there may not be money right now,” Milobar said.

“But, really, we’re looking at two-, three-, five-year projects and it’s really a case of being in a position for when there’s money available.”

Greyhound struggles with B.C. rules

By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Greyhound Canada is losing millions on its B.C. operations because of rigid provincial rules that require minimum bus trips on inter-city routes regardless of passenger demand.

Minimum daily service levels are set by the provincially appointed Passenger Transportation Board.

For Vancouver to Kamloops, and on the Trans Canada Highway at Golden, for example, Greyhound is required to run four buses each way, seven days a week.

“You have a minimum frequency that you have to run on every corridor, really regardless of whether you’re carrying 20 people or five people on each schedule,” said Stuart Kendrick, senior

that they need to make adjustments, or they’re going to have to pull out of the whole thing,” Polak said.

The company has applied to the board to reduce service on B.C. routes, but not drop any routes entirely.

Kendrick said the rules don’t allow adjustments to reflect lighter traffic on certain days of the week or seasonal adjustments.

Manitoba changed its regulations in July to allow flexible schedules.

Alberta deregulated inter-city bus routes in 2011, allowing bus companies to enter or exit a route with 30 days’ notice.

Some routes have been abandoned as a result, as urbanization and changing travel habits have led to declines in rural ridership.

In New Brunswick,

vice-president of Greyhound Canada.

As an example, trips between the Alberta border and Vancouver must make two stops minimum daily in Vernon and 28 weekly.

Trips between Kamloops and Kelowna must make three daily stops in Vernon, 42 weekly.

Kendrick said the company lost $14 million on its B.C. operations in 2011, and previous years have seen similar losses.

He has written to Transportation Minister Mary Polak asking the B.C. government to follow the lead of other provinces and deregulate bus service so it can be kept alive.

Polak said she is aware that B.C. service is at risk and ministry staff are working on options.

“It’s obvious from what they’re saying

communities, and may need to hold public meetings as well.

Polak said the government may be able to change regulations rather than amend legislation, which would have to wait until the B.C. legislature resumes in January.

rigid rules prompted the only inter-city bus line to shut down entirely.

Kendrick said the B.C. rules are not only inflexible, but the application process takes too long. The company is required to advertise any route change in affected

ICBC will again be behind pickets

Walking the picket line at the Battle Street ICBC Claim Centre on Sept. 18 were picket captain/commercial claims appraiser Reg Walde (left) and total loss handler Cheryl Stanley. Unionized staff will be walking the picket line again on Wednesday, Oct. 3. Dave Eagles/KTW

The Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union local 378 (COPE 378) has announced another day of strike action.

About one-third of ICBC’s unionized workforce, which consists of more than 1,300 employees, will walk out on Wednesday, Oct. 3 — and the Battle Street ICBC location will be involved.

Union members last walked out on Sept.

18 as the union and ICBC continue to fail in reaching a contract settlement.

“Our bargaining team has met with the employer and ICBC said they’re still not willing to budge on wages.” said COPE 378 president David Black.

“Their proposals

put our members far behind the rising cost of living,” Black said ICBC did acknowledge the workload problem at the Crown corporation, noting COPE 378 recently won a unpaidovertime grievance.

However, Black added, the language tabled by ICBC was too vague and scheduled to take effect in the next collective agreement, not the agreement the two sides are now trying to cobble together.

“On one hand, this shows us that our job actions have forced them to focus on our issues,” Black said.

“On the other, it’s just not enough.

It doesn’t solve the crushing workload our members face and it certainly doesn’t keep their wages from fall-

ing further and further behind.”

The Oct. 3 strike will affect areas primarily in the Lower Mainland, but also in Kamloops, at 1251 Battle St., and in Victoria.

Rockford stone siblings a work of art

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tesserae Warren found the first rock for her project during a trip out to Red Lake, but her artistic vision didn’t start to come together until her father — woodcarver and artist Vaughn Warren — gave her a little push.

“One day, he put this out here

Murphy’s

and was like, ‘I’m gonna call this the Rockfords,’” explains the Grade 3 Beattie School of the Arts student, pointing to one of the largest rocks anchoring her creation.

With the name in place, Tesserae had all the inspiration she needed.

From there, she spent 10 days adding other rocks, glass beads, strands of hair and other art supplies to the original stone to cre-

ate her sculpture, The Rockford Family.

When it was finished, there was only one logical next step — calling the newspaper to show off her work to a wider audience.

While the road in front of her Grandview Terrace home is in the throes of a major reconstruction, Tesserae hopes to eventually exhibit the Rockfords curbside, where they’ll be more visible to the general public.

Bus shelters expected next week After a summer sweating it out in the open, bus riders should be able to take shelter once again in October.

City of Kamloops transit planner Erin Felker said parts for bus 20 shelters are on their way and should arrive next week and be installed over the following couple of weeks.

The old shelters were removed in May, when the city awarded its contract for shelters and bus benches to Creative Outdoor Advertising.

Supply issues led to the new contractor missing its installation deadlines.

It was supposed

to have nine benches up by July 31 and the remaining 11 in place by the end of August.

Under their agreement with the city, Creative Outdoor Advertising is responsible for installing, maintaining and cleaning the shelters — as well as 135 bus benches.

The city also gets a percentage of the advertising revenue from ads placed on the shelters.

Felker said the city isn’t imposing penalties for getting the shelters in late.

“Although it’s been a bit of a slow start, it’s a long-term agreement with them and provided at no cost to the city,” Felker said.

Those with big problems are dealt big cards X From A3

“If you’ve got big problems, you get a big card. And, all of a sudden, I could see it all and I couldn’t believe it,” Wood says.

It was time for a change.

She started by giving up smoking — and coffee, which had always gone along with cigarettes.

Next, she gave up dairy and started hiking out at Tranquille Creek.

The weight started to come off. Her self-esteem began to improve.

During the same period, Wood underwent surgery, more than a year of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Because her cancer was estrogen-positive — the hormone can promote the growth of the cancer — she started

hormonal therapy.

When she discovered she was allergic to the drug, Wood had more surgery, this time to remove her ovaries.

“It was hard. I cried. It was miserable, painful, horrendous. It was emotionally gut-wrenching,” she says.

But, at the same time, her relationships with friends and coworkers were improving, she was feeling comfortable in her own skin, learning to make healthier choices and she’d finally gotten in touch with her spiritual side.

“Things just started to change and I could feel it. It was very powerful,” she says.

Earlier this year, Wood decided that it was time to start giving back.

She joined the organizing commit-

Sandy Wood’s diagnosis of breast cancer changed her life — for the better. It forced her to improve in all areas.

“When I look back, I’m so grateful,” she says.

“I can honestly say that breast cancer was the best thing that ever happened to me.” Dave Eagles/KTW

tee for the Kamloops Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure — and she is full of praise for the other women involved in the event.

“The people are amazing, they’re abso-

lutely amazing,” she says. “It’s incredible the amount of contribution that goes on there.”

But, while she would love to see a world without breast cancer — or any other form of the disease —

Wood wouldn’t trade her own diagnosis for anything.

“When I look back, I’m so grateful,” she says.

“I can honestly say that breast cancer was the best thing that ever happened to me.”

Tournament Capital vs. Little Apple Kamloops and Kelowna will renew acquaintances this weekend when the TRU WolfPack men’s and women’s soccer teams play home-and-home series with the UBC Okanagan (UBCO) Heat.

The WolfPack women host the Heat at 1 p.m. at Hillside Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 29, one day before the return match in Kelowna.

UBCO’s men will be in the River City on Sunday, Sept. 30, with a 1 p.m. kickoff scheduled at Hillside.

The WolfPack travel to Kelowna to play the Heat on Saturday.

TRU’s soccer women look to be the class of the Pacific Western Athletic Association, sitting in top spot at 5-0-1, with the Heat in fourth at 2-3-1.

The WolfPack men sit fourth at 2-1-3, while their rivals from Kelowna are seventh at 0-3-3.

Huskers blocking playoff path

OST SPECIALTEAMS experts go through their careers without experiencing the thrill of blocking a field goal.

Grady Chalmers of the Kamloops Broncos did it three times in one game, a 48-41 loss to the Westshore Rebels of Victoria in B.C. Football Conference play on Sept. 16.

“I was the second guy from the outside

and I managed to split their outside two blockers, squeak through and get my hands on all three,” said Chalmers, a Valleyview secondary graduate.

“We kind of figured after the first or the second that they would kind of get things straightened out and close that gap down.

“They didn’t do it and I was the beneficiary.”

His three field-goal blocks in one game set a BCFC record and tied the Canadian Junior Football League mark.

Kamloops will need

more Chalmers-like super-human efforts if it’s going to make the playoffs for the first time in franchise history.

The Broncos have three games remaining, two against the cellardwelling Chilliwack Huskers and one against the second-place Rebels, all of them must-wins.

First up for Kamloops is Chilliwack at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 30, at Hillside Stadium.

Chalmers’ performance against Westshore earned him the special teams player of the week award.

18 HOLES OF GOLF, CART AND TAX INCLUDED

Kamloops, at 1-6, sits fifth in the league, one spot above Chilliwack, at 0-7, and one behind the 2-5 Sun, who hold the league’s final playoff spot.

The Langley Rams are third at 5-1-1, with Westshore, 6-1, and the Vancouver Island Raiders of Nanaimo, 6-0-1, in second and first, respectively.

“We’re still alive,” Chalmers said.

“We’re still gunning for that last spot.

Hopefully, we can sneak in that back door and get in the playoffs for the first time.”

The Okanagan Sun of Kelowna were ready last weekend when the Broncos rolled into the Little Apple.

Chalmers never got a sniff of Dan Ferrier’s five extra points, thanks in large part to a pair of hogs on the line, and Okanagan won 42-18.

“They had two of their bigger, better players in that spot,” said Chalmers, a third-year Bronco.

“I don’t know if they did that on purpose or if that’s the way they always line up.

“They stoned me pretty good.”

Catch of the Daley

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

A group of accountants from Kamloops will forever be in debt to the Fraser River.

Staff from Daley and Company Chartered Accountants helped reel in an 11-foot-long white sturgeon — estimated to weigh about 1,000 pounds — on a team-building fishing trip near Chilliwack on Friday, Sept. 21.

Fittingly enough, it was managing partner Norm Daley who first hooked the mammoth fish.

“That thing was huge,” Daley said.

“In the first few

minutes, I had it on the line. I thought my arms were going to fall off or I would end up in the river.”

After about 15 minutes, Daley handed the rod to a colleague, who returned the favour about 15 minutes later.

Great River Fishing Adventures (GRFA) was leading the expedition and it was guide Jeff Welch who reeled the sizeable sturgeon in after a 50-minute fight.

“There was no way that one person alone was going to get that fish to the boat,” Daley said.

“It was truly a team effort.”

A few of the accoun-

fish like this within such a short time period and this second catch is proof that our conservation efforts have been successful and that this is a sustainable fishery,” Werk said.

Daley chalked the trip up as one of the most valuable his firm has ever been on.

“We were looking for an opportunity for a team-building experience,” Daley said.

“This fishing trip brought us all together to celebrate a unique experience.

“It’s something we’ll never forget.”

tants and tour guides helped tag the fish with a microchip known as a PIT tag, used to aid research and conservation efforts.

Pectoral-fin clippings were also taken for scientific study.

Just two months ago, British tourists Michael and Margaret Snell caught a 12-foot, fourinch sturgeon on the Fraser with GRFA. That monster weighed about 1,100 pounds.

The adventure fishing company’s owner, Dean Werk, was on the water for both record catches.

Blazers name trio of alternates, no captain

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s captain by committee to start the season for the WHL’s Kamloops Blazers.

The club did not give anyone the C, but named three alternate captains — forwards Dylan Willick, 20, and Colin Smith, 19, and defenceman Tyler Hansen, 19. “There’s no reason for us to, right away, select a captain,�

Blazer head coach Guy Charron said. “There is potential that Austin Madaisky could be re-assigned and we would have to re-evaluate the situation.�

Madaisky will start the campaign in Massachusetts with the Springfield Falcons of the American Hockey League. “Going into the year, I realistically thought we had a

50-50 chance of getting him back and, the way things look right now with the [NHL] lockout, it might be swaying in our favour a little bit more,� said Blazer GM Craig Bonner, noting he could see Madaisky back in Kamloops as early as November, but nothing is guaranteed.

The Blazer players were asked to suggest captains in an offseason survey, which coaches took into account when making their decision. “We [the coaches] also had long discussions during the summer,� Charron said.

The Blazer bench boss does not believe a captain has to be vocal.

In fact, he laughed at the idea. “That’s ridiculous,�

Charron said. “Some of the best captains are show-byexample on the ice.�

Willick will wear an

A for a third-straight season, while Smith and Hansen have letters for the first time.

All three players are entering their fourth season with the Blazers and have played their entire WHL careers in Blue and Orange.

Smith, who was selected by the Colorado Avalanche in Round 7 at the NHL Entry Draft in June, said he is honoured to get the nod. “We all bring something different to the table,� he said. “We try and lead by

example and be vocal when the time is right.�

Blazer forward Chase Souto approves of all three alternates, but said he is looking forward to having someone don the C. “The boys really need one,� Souto said. “You can’t have three guys. They’ll start bickering about what they think should be happening.�

All in due time. “We’ll wait until we solidify our lineup,�

Charron said. “That’s a selection that’s pretty important in your locker room.�

The under-14 Kamloops field lacrosse team split a pair of games in Kelowna on the weekend.

Kamloops fell 12-6 to Kelowna before bouncing back with a 13-4 win over Vernon.

Scoring on the weekend for Kamloops were Brenden Bickert (5), Kordell Primus (4), Kaiden Merz, Anthony Matusiak (3), Karsten Huth (3), Terje Shaw, Kienen Campbell and Brayden Jones.

Braden Nicklas backstopped Kamloops.

Blair MacKay of the TRU WolfPack was named the Pacific Western Athletic Association women’s soccer athlete of the week.

The Kamloops product was a rock in defence in a pair of TRU wins — 4-0 over Capilano and 2-0 over Vancouver Island University (VIU) — on the weekend.

She also scored against VIU. “She is on top of her game,” Pack head coach Tom McManus said.

KTW NORTH Pam worried vacations meant leaving mom alone…

Investing in the North Shore grows

I

T HAS BEEN A BUSY and exciting summer on the North Shore, with a variety of new commercial investments spread across the whole area.

We can start at the entranceway to Tranquille Road and the finished rebuild of the AB Auto Sales lot, complete with new sales office, surfacing and landscaping.

We can travel over to the Halston, east of 12th Street, to see the new Kamloops Ford-Lincoln dealership.

There is a new performing-arts dance studio that just opened in the Mascot Properties complex on 12th Street, as well as a new fitness centre getting ready to open on Eighth Street, across from Canadian Tire.

Investments on the Tranquille Market this summer included the

PETER MUTRIE North Shore NEWS newly opened Sweet City Woman Boutique and the recently relocated Kamloops Immigrant Services, along with the Stagehouse Theatre and the refurbishing of the Interior Savings Credit Union, all in the 400-block of Tranquille Road.

The Carmel Medical Centre is due for completion this fall, while Library Square continues its construction schedule.

The Brocklehurst Shopping Centre is looking

good and experiencing a busy surge in new business as the new Tim Hortons restaurant, including a substantial landscaping component, is drawing a crowd, while the Littlest Toy Store is about to triple its size.

In addition, a new hot yoga spa will open on Saturday, Sept. 29.

This is a significant date because it coincides with the North Shore Business Improvement Association’s second annual Biggest Sale Kamloops Has Ever Seen.

This sales event spans the whole business area, from the Kamloops Golf and Country Club right through Brocklehurst, through Fortune Centre, through Northills Centre and along the Tranquille Market to the 100-block of Tranquille Road.

Now neither one wants the vacation to end.

Chartwell retirement residences offer the safety and security your parent needs, with the services and activities they want. At the same time, you’ll know they are never truly alone. If the time has come to start considering retirement living options, we can help.

KTW NORTH

Immigrant society loves its new digs It’s been just about two months since Kamloops Immigrant Services (KIS) moved into its new digs on Tranquille Road — and things are good.

“It’s going great,” KIS executive director Paul Lagace told KTW. “Although, it’s been very, very busy.”

Lagace said he likes the North Kamloops setup at 448 Tranquille Rd. more than the old downtown KIS location on Victoria Street.

“It’s better for a number of reasons,” he said.

“No. 1 is there’s parking available for our clients now, which was not readily available downtown.

“And, here, the buses go right in front of the building.”

Another thing Lagace said he likes about the new location is its feel.

“This place is much warmer, that’s the comment I get back,” he said.

“Because, the reception area isn’t a great big room with somebody sitting in the middle of it.”

Lagace said there are no firm numbers in yet, but he suspects KIS has more clients now than it did downtown.

“We should know for sure by the end of next month,” he said.

“I anticipate a definite increase. I’m seeing new faces. We’re seeing people come in

with little ones.

“The access and the fact it’s new, that seems to be attracting people.”

Lagace said KIS plans to hold an official grand opening in late November.

Then, he said, the new era of KIS will have officially begun.

“We’re shifting to be more of a community centre for immigrants,” he said.

“A lot of the challenges of the past are done and, by relocating, we’re having a fresh start here.”

SPORTS VIEWS

Calgary’s Cornish having unforgettable year

N

BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW have absolute appreciation for the things other teams are trying to do. There’s nothing disrespectful. But, on the field? It’s not my prerogative to interact with the other team. I have goals far grander than any single game.

So, why get caught up in something like that?

“They can tackle me and say whatever they want and I’ll just get up and walk away.”

It’s all adding up to 2012 being a season Cornish won’t soon forget.

Neither will the CFL record book.

“Quote, unquote” • R. J. Currie of sportsdeke.com: “If the White Sox merged with the Red Sox, would they be the Pink Sox?” • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “July 2012 was the hottest month ever recorded, according to the Weather Channel.

Try telling that to the Astros. They went 3-24.”

• Headline at TheOnion.com: “Fireworks now go off every time Astros make an out.”

• Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe. com: “Roger Clemens said he only wanted to pitch for the Astros in 2012 if he could pitch against a ‘contender.’

So he can ‘knock them right out of the playoffs.’ And Barry Bonds is thinking – ‘And they thought I had a big head?’ ” • Another one from Currie: “The Ocean (N.J.) high-school football team may forfeit their next game because six players have impetigo (an itchy skin infection). For now, the boys are listed as healthy

scratches.”

• Gregg Easterbrook, ESPN. com: “The Washington Nationals shut down Stephen Strasburg for 2013, too, saying, ‘We want to be sure his ragweed allergy doesn’t act up.’”

• Norman Chad, syndicated columnist: “I feel badly for the [NHL players’] union. The league is attempting to cut back the players’ share of

revenues, abolish players’ rights to salary arbitration and limit free agency. It is as if management is trying to turn back the clock.

But, it’s one thing to turn back the clock, it’s a whole another thing to buy a case of sundials on eBay.” • Headline at SportsPickle.com: “NHL owners say they can’t afford to give players the huge contacts they’ve been giv-

Turner was charged with DUI just hours after a recent Monday night win: “He must have been really out of it, because he asked if a replacement official could administer the sobriety test.”

• Dwight Perry again: “An army vet fishing for bass near Springfield, Mo., reeled in a sock with a live hand grenade in it. It’s already being hailed as the fastest catch-

ing them.”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald, after Savannah State was listed as a 70- and 67-point underdogs in its first two games — and lost 84-0 and 58-0: “I’m not sure what Savannah State’s problem is this year, but we can rule out overconfidence.”

• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle on Oregon instituting random drug testing of athletes after reports that 40 to 60 per cent of its football players use marijuana: “The Ducks apparently will abandon their two-huddle system — smoking and nonsmoking.”

OTWITHSTANDING his intimate backside encounter with Saskatchewan Roughrider fans in Regina on the weekend, Calgary Stampeders’ running back Jon Cornish remains on track for a career year in the CFL. The New Westminster native, who played his collegiate ball at Kansas, but was never drafted by a National Football League club, has been the talk of the CFL through the first half of the season and is zeroing in on some end-ofseason awards.

Top Canadian?

The league office can almost start inscribing his name on the trophy.

He won the weekly top-Canadian award three consecutive times, which gives him a huge leg up on the competition in that category.

Most outstanding player? Has to be considered.

Cornish leads the CFL in rushing yards and will almost certainly become the first back to the 1,000-yard plateau after his 67 against Saskatchewan Sept. 23 gave him 947.

His rushing total is about 130 yards ahead of the No. 2 back, Kory Sheets of Saskatchewan.

No Canadian has won the CFL rushing crown since 1988.

Grey Cup champ?

Why not?

The Stamps are certainly in the mix in the West, with Cornish and receiver Nik Lewis leading the offence and a solid 7-5 record through 12 games of the 18-game schedule.

Cornish told Allan Cameron of the Calgary Herald that he’s all business on the field.

There’s no such thing as friendly banter between the lines once the game is under way, he said.

“I play my best when I don’t engage with the other team,” he told Cameron. “I

Gillian Gaiser, who founded the Kamloops Family History Society, is looking forward to its 30th anniversary celebration today (Sept. 27). Dave Eagles/KTW

Celebrating all those yesterdays today

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Forty years ago, Gillian Gaiser read an article in Chatelaine magazine about genealogy.

The idea of researching her family’s past intrigued her, she said, but, with two young boys, there just wasn’t time to do that kind of work. “I thought, ‘I’ll do it when they’re older’,� Gaiser said.

Years later, she saw a similar article in Westworld magzine on Tom Warren, the head of the B.C. Genealogical Society.

Still intrigued by the idea of the many generations that had preceded her, Gaiser called Warren, met him in Vancouver “and that was the beginning of the end.�

She was hooked and, since then has gone back generations in her late husband’s family and her own.

Thirty years ago, she decided it would be fun to “talk to other people about this, to share the excitement,� so she posted notices in the newspaper, and on bulletin boards at the Kamloops Library and Kamloops Museum and Archives. ‘The first meeting was held in the library and Gaiser was surprised to find 20 people attend.

The Kamloops Family History Society was born.

Tonight (Sept. 27), its members will welcome others who used to belong but have moved on for what Gaiser said will be a fun evening that celebrates the anniversary of the organization.

There will be also plenty of talk about ancestors and reseearch ideas and sources, she said, because, once that hook is set, it’s hard to get rid of it. “You don’t want to know how many hours I’ve put into this,� Gaiser said.

It’s meant buying and reading many books on every-

thing from the history of areas where her family lived in years past to instructional books on research.

It’s meant trips to Salt Lake City, where one of the largest repositories of genealogical reference material is housed.

It’s meant poring over gazeteers and maps — “lots and lots of maps� — and spending hour after hour online.

Gaiser has taken one family line back to the 1400s but she’s stalled on another line, not able to get back past 1850.

She hasn’t found any skeletons in those dusty old closets, but discovered answers to questions she didn’t even realize she had.

For example, as a child in England, she said, when Sunday School ended, she and her siblings would often be taken to an area nearby to play and have some fun.

Centre holds many resources X From B1

“I never knew that was where my grandparents were born,” Gaiser said. “I never knew why we went there and now I do.”

She’s uncovered sad stories from her past and wonders why her parents never shared those with her “because they’re all part of our history.”

At least one society member has discovered cousins living in Kamloops the member didn’t know where relations, Gaiser said.

“You never know what you’ll find out.”

Much of the information gathered by society members is housed in the Family History Centre in the Church of LatterDay Saints at 2165 Parkcrest Ave. It’s open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to noon and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

The centre is closed during the summer and for three weeks in December around Christmas.

It can be reached at 250-376-2515.

When it’s open, there’s always a society member on hand to help anyone coming in to do research, Gaiser said. ‘“It’s a good place to go to get help.”

The society meets every fourth Thursday at Heritage House, 100 Lorne St., at 7 p.m.

That’s also the site of tonight’s celebration.

Sine she got started, Gaiser has written one book on one side of her family’s past and given the book to her sons so they have a record of where they come from.

She’s thinking about doing another on one of her sides of the family history but acknowledged the work is massive.

Just tracking down photographs can be daunting, Gaiser said

as she showed KTW a wall of pictures shehas managed to collect and frame.

“My parents burned a lot of them when they came over,” she said of the trouble she’s encountering in her photographic search.

“They could only bring so much with them when they came to Canada.”

Notwithstanding

the challenges, Gaiser said she’s going to continue on her search of the family past — and she’s hoping at least one of her sons will carry on the quest.

But, today, she’s going to enjoy the present with a community she said is like its own big family — “very sharing, very giving.

“It’s really neat.”

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Library plans Mini Comic-Con

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Nina Matsumoto has been drawing for as long as she can remember.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also been watching The Simpsons for as long as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been on television.

As a child, she never knew those two facts would somehow merge to become her career but now, as an award-winning comic-book artist, the woman known as Space Coyote has found a career.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one she loves, Matsumoto said from her home in Vancouver, because she can work from home and create at her own pace and that has brought her plenty of recognition in the manga-art community.

Matsumoto will be the featured guest as the Kamloops Library holds its first Mini Comic-Con on Saturday, Oct. 6, at 2 p.m. at the downtown branch.

The event is open to teens and will include an art contest â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with Matsumoto as judge â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for works by teens in comic or manga style on any topic and in any media.

Submissions should be no larger than 18 inches by 24 inches and need to be dropped off at the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk at the library by Wednesday, Oct. 3, at 5 p.m.

In addition to Matsumotoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judging, there will also be voting for fan favourite at the event.

The Comic-Con will also have a costume contest.

Matsumoto said she uses computer software almost as much as she does pencils in creating her images.

She got involved more intensely in digital drawing 14 years ago, at age 13, and made her professional break into the business in 2007, when she was first published.

Since then, Matsumoto has produced two volumes based on characters she has created but also does art for Bongo Comics, which produces comics based on the Simpsons show.

Even her nom de plume, Space Coyote, comes from the show in an episode in which Homer eats too much chili, starts to hallucinate and meets a talking coyote that introduces itself as his spirit guide.

Matsumoto said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have some of her books at the event for sale and signing and will spend some time talking about her work.

Vancouver-based manga artist Nina Matsumoto created this cartoon image of herself.

Prizes will be given to winning recipes!!

FAITH

There’s a new kid on the city’s pastoral block

T

HE 100-OR-SO-STRONG CONGREGATION AT THE DALLAS-BARNHARTVALE BAPTIST CHURCH (DBBC) ON THE EASTERN FRINGE OF KAMLOOPS WELCOMED A NEW PASTOR RECENTLY. Following a short stint without a permanent pastor, Nova Scotia native Brent Foster, 34, has taken over the task of under-shepherding DBBC following the departure of his predecessor, Bruce Christianson.

Foster landed at the doorsteps of DBBC almost directly from the portals of his Briercrest Seminary in Carenport, Sask., having crammed the master of divinity degree in two years, instead of the regular four years, completing the degree in July 2012.

NARAYAN MITRA Prior to seminary, he and You Gotta Have wife Erica helped flourish the youth work at a Baptist church FAITH in Moncton.

In addition to doing junior and senior high youth work, Foster tasted leadership responsibilities by way of a young adult ministry and occasional preaching.

All these involvements were prelude to what his mentor encouraged him to pursue in eventually becoming a senior pastor, a stage which Foster has reached now.

“My ministry success can only be attributed to a

mentor that God has used in my life all along the way.

“I compare our relationship to the relationship between Paul and Timothy.

“Many times in 1 and 2 Timothy, Paul writes: ‘Timothy, my son,’ followed by seasoned wisdom from an older mentor.

“I went to him almost weekly for advice and direction and he responded with seasoned wisdom and encouragement,” Foster said.

Now, armed with his own well-defined set of beliefs and a focused philosophy of ministry, Foster’s arrival at DBBC has generated much excitement.

In just a month, new people have come through the doors. Erica’s planned weekly work with kids is on the anvil as a stepping stone to reach their parents.

“They have been 100 per cent accepted by a happy congregation,” said deacon Larry Otto.

“Solid Bible preaching is strength of this man of faith, knowledge, wisdom and energy.

“He is definitely up for the job. They and the church are mutually agreeable.”

His personal core values encompass a wide gamut from missional living and spiritual development to open leadership, care for his family and dedication to hard work.

Eventually, his lifelong learning plan would include getting a doctoral degree, interspersed with diligent studies and bolstered by regular input by attending leadership conferences.

What’s the future for smaller to medium-size suburban churches like DBBC? Kamloops has a few of them with excellent records

of serving their immediate neighbourhoods and the extended community.

Some have produced giants of faith serving in the marketplaces at home or abroad.

Similarly, others have gone on to missionary journeys of faith, again, here or across the seas.

But, most productive resources are the people who laugh with those who laugh, cry with those who weep, and visit the widows, the widowers, the sick and the needy and tell them to keep looking up and on.

They seek to joyfully conduct themselves “in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15) in an increasingly secular humanistic culture.

With its past history of its own involvement in mission work in Haiti and supporting the cause of Fellowship Baptist international missions, the desire of DBBC and that of Foster “to further the kingdom of God and placing others interests ahead of his own,” will co-operatively fit in very well.

Erica and Brent have a young family of two in Caleb and Leah.

The church is located at 495 Todd Rd. in Dallas and can be reached at 250-573-4413. 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.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Is Mitt Romney One of the 47 per cent?

I

T HAS ALWAYS been hard for people with strong opinions to tolerate the discipline of electoral politics, which demands they never speak their minds in public.

Say what you really think and you are bound to alienate some of the votes you need to win.

But, it’s getting harder as, even at private gatherings, today’s politicians are likely to be secretly videorecorded, so they must never reveal their true opinions.

The latest victim of this rule is Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency.

He needed to feed some red meat to the people who had paid $50,000 a head to attend a fundraiser in May in Florida.

Most of them doubtless believed that poor Americans are shiftless, Palestinians are evil and Iranians are crazed fanatics — and they were not paying to have their views challenged.

Still, Romney should have been more careful.

Blaming the failure of 19 years of negotiation to bring a peace settlement in the ArabIsraeli dispute entirely on the Palestinians was not going to get him in trouble at home.

“The Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace,” he said, which would be seen as a distortion of the truth in most parts of the world, but it does no harm to Romney domestically.

Indeed, lots of Obama voters think that, too.

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH Same goes for the bizarre scenario he drew about the alleged threat from Iran.

“If I were Iran — a crazed fanatic — I’d say let’s get a little fissile material to Hezbollah, have them carry it to Chicago or some other place and then, if anything goes wrong, or America starts acting up, we’ll just say, ‘Guess what? Unless you stand down, why, we’re going to let off a dirty bomb’.”

This is only one or two steps short of expressing a fear of werewolves, but in the United States, this sort of discourse is routine.

The U.S. Department of Defense regularly uses equally shoddy and cynical arguments to justify its huge budget.

Romney will not get into any trouble with the electorate for this gaffe.

Where it all went wrong was when he said “there are 47 per cent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what,” referring to the Americans who don’t pay income tax.

“There are 47 per cent who are with [Obama], who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government

has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it.”

The audience at the fundraiser obviously believes that, and it’s pretty likely that Romney believes it himself, but it is simply not true.

If all of the 47 percent of Americans who do not pay income tax automatically vote for Barack Obama and the Democratic Party, then the Republicans can never win an election.

At least not unless everybody who pays income tax votes Republican, which seems pretty unlikely.

Surely some taxpayers must vote Democratic, even if they are only Latinos, African-Americans, gays, women, Asians, union members and effete Eastern intellectuals.

And, some non-taxpayers certainly do vote

Republican.

In fact, the Republican Party’s core strategy for decades has been to win white, working-class votes by stressing its conservative social values.

Without their votes, the last Republican president would have been Dwight D. Eisenhower.

But, Romney actually dismissed the importance of those voters, although white, working-class voters who are unemployed or underemployed and pay no taxes, could make the difference between victory and defeat for him.

So could retired people too poor to pay taxes, who are often social conservatives.

In Romney’s view, his role “is not to worry about those people [the 47 percent]. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

E ARE STARTING TO GET CALLS FROM PEOPLE ASKING ABOUT A NEW PROGRAM CALLED LIVING LIFE TO THE FULL. People wonder what it is and how they can access it.

Everybody has ups and downs in life — no one can escape the bumps, grinds and challenges of our everyday experiences.

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to recover more quickly than others from some of life’s challenges, such as the loss of a job, a change in residence, a death in the family or the end of a relationship?

Basically, we all have skills, experience and supports.

Some of us have more than others.

We have belief systems and, sometimes, the things we believe limit our potential.

Sometimes our beliefs make difficult things more possible.

Where are you on this scale of internal

ONLY

strengths and weaknesses?

The problem is, our society today relates electronically more easily and more often than we relate personally.

That means some of the issues that were minor 20 years ago are gaining more importance — issues like loneliness and isolation.

The Canadian Mental Health Association in B.C. has acquired the sole rights to a British program designed to help people gain insights and strengths to keep control over their lives even in rocky circumstances.

CMHA branches across the province are the eight-session course called Living Life to the Full.

The sessions cover a variety of issues and are easy step-by-step programs.

March marks World Rivers Day Several Kamloops citizens groups will celebrate waterways this month in honour of World Rivers Day. The groups are concerned about preserving rivers and protecting them from further pollution for the benefit of future generations.

The public is welcome to join the cause on Saturday, Sept. 29, by bringing appropriate signs for a walk through downtown Kamloops.

The march will start at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market, in the 200-block of St. Paul Street, at 11 a.m. and make its way to Riverside Park, where the City of Kamloops will be hosting a World Rivers Day celebration and shore cleanup from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

If you think you may benefit from these fun and practical sessions, get in touch with us at 250-3740440.

If you are looking for something to do with your spouse or teen, what better gift can you give than the gift of better mental health?

It is far easier to keep mentally well than to overcome symptoms of mental illness and this is an easy, practical way to do just that.

We are all in this together — and, after all, who deserves it more than you?

Thank you for asking about Living Life to the Full and for all your questions.

If you have a topic, question or comment, write to us at kamloops@cmha.bc.ca because we always love to hear from you.

TRAVEL

Taking a bird’s-eye view of Victoria to the other side of the harbour reminds me that there is one last adventure in store — the scenic B.C. ferry ride that will take us back home.

By Jane Cassie SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

S

WANKY YACHTS AND REGAL SCHOONERS SKIM THE SUNGLINTED WAVES BELOW. They unite with ocean-going kayaks, speedy dragon boats and other pleasure vessels that share their hulls with the seaside.

Framed by a rugged coastline and backed by powdered peaks, it’s a setting that’s picturesque to a fault and truly epitomizes the axiom, Super Natural British Columbia.

Although there are plenty of ways to check out Victoria’s scenic sites, during this visit with my daughter, we enjoy a couple of the more adventuresome options — and this one comes with a bird’s-eye view.

After briefly surfing the Pacific, our DeHavilland Beaver rises to this occasion and, during the next 30 minutes, we share the sunny skies with soaring eagles.

Cooper Air’s aviator, Mick, doubles as an informative guide and, while navigating the seaplane, he provides a running commentary of the attractions below.

“The promenade is a great place to check out the activities,” he explains as we pass over the bustling hub.

Although briefly interrupted by Johnson Street Bridge, the walkway encircles the inner harbour, where the colourful past integrates delightfully with the present.

Streets are dressed with bouquets and Kabuki Kabs, Cinderella horse-drawn carriages and double-decker buses whisk time-rich vacationers to internationally acclaimed tourist attractions.

From our panoramic viewpoint, we can visually trace the pedestrian causeway that leads to our temporary home away from home — the Laurel Point Inn. Snuggling up to her jetty perch, she sparkles with contemporary sophistication and melds

harmoniously with Victoria’s Old World architecture.

Our flight veers to the west and Mick shares historical tidbits along the way.

“Fisguard is the oldest lighthouse on the West Coast,” he says while flying over Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Park.

Although only accessible only from the sea during its prime time, we can see Ocean Boulevard now winds its way around to this once vigilant beacon.

Clusters of verdant evergreens border shimmering lakes and, a few minutes to the north, the Edwardian-style Butchart Gardens comes into view.

While sprawling over 50 palatial acres, it hosts a number of theme gardens and provides a mantle of colour yearround.

We putter over patchwork farmlands, grey winding highways and golf greens speckled with undulating plateaus.

The highlight for my daughter is when we hover over the University of Victoria and visit from above, not on foot as she did a few years ago.

“There aren’t too many students who get to see their campus from this vantage point,” Mick says, “and, as you can see, it’s just a quick jaunt to the beach whenever the students need a break.”

The strand of rocky shoreline is dotted with posh homes and washed continuously by gentle waves.

Trillions of sparkles reflect off the sapphire waters and while buzzing closer to sea level we spot shimmering shadows, reminding us of the marine life that thrives just beneath.

In my mind’s eye, I retrace the previous day’s activity, when Cuda Marine Adventures provided a similar encounter, but from an entirely different viewpoint.

Our covered vessel had plied effortlessly along this same coastal waterway and, although shielded from head winds and ocean spray, we enjoyed marine-life sightings through surrounding windows.

Frolicking porpoises played leapfrog as they rode in our wake and teary-eyed seals joined stoic cormorants on the craggy Great Chain Island.

During our three-hour cruise, we were privy to a lineup of first-rate performances and, with microbiology major Dave at the helm, we received the inside scoop on them all.

The height of excitement came when the first signature dorsal fin sliced through the sapphire surface.

“That’s Ruffles,” Dave says without hesitation.

“He’s about 55 years old and Granny, his sister,

is over 90.”

The majestic killer whales were like friends to our guide but, for us, their titles didn’t matter.

It was their splendour that tweaked our curiosity and activated our zoom lenses — the way a mother and calf arched in unison over the water’s surface, then dipped beneath like partially submerged water balloons — naturally spectacular.

I shake myself out of the daydream just in time to get one last overview before our seaplane gently splashes down.

Though our stay in Victoria is just about over, the little white aqua bus that transports us

George Wycherley/ KTW

Sahalloween Fall Festival

Local firefighters recognized Kamloops firefighters have been recognized for their Operation Nicaragua organization, which will receive a global co-operation award from the British Columbia Council for International Co-operation (BCCIC).

The award is one of three the council will present this year.

The partnership of firefighters, volunteers and businesses has worked for years sending eight shipping containers and nine emergency vehicles to its Nicaraguan partners, firefighters in Cinandega and their fire chief, Gerry Caceres.

There are two containers and three more emergency vehicles en route, adding to the total.

The Nicaraguan firefighters work with communities in the country to make sure household goods are delivered to people who can’t afford them.

The B.C. group works with Gearbulk Shipping and the Conconi Family Foundation to reduce the cost of sending the donations to Nicaragua and to complete other projects on the ground there, including construction of a community centre and fire station, equipping five hospitals with medical supplies and equipment and installing water-filtration systems that help hundreds of Nicaraguans.

Also receiving awards are Alaina Podmorow, a 15-year-old Kelowna resident and Grade 10 student who created Little Women for Little Women in Afghanistan, which assists libraries there, and Jessica Fraser of Vancouver, founder of Mobile Movement, which works with impoverished groups in Kenya.

Its first project was to provide mobile phones to 14 youth groups who live in slums in Nairobi.

BCCIC is a coalition of non-governmental organizations that work to achieve sustainable human development.

Madeline is my sidekick.

Also in my imagined life, which is populated by boules and baguettes, citrus squares, pies and cakes and muffins and cookies, the act of putting my hands to work yields results every time.

And yet, for all the wonder and satisfaction of lifting a plum galette from the oven, I’d still rather have baking as an act to retreat to when life and work refuse to play nice.

Stress-free baking tips from an expert Are you ready for the busiest time of the year?

While many of us get stressed with just the thought of baking for the holiday season, simple ways are available to bring back the joy.

“There are enough stresses at this time of year and baking needn’t be one of them,” said Anna Olson, Home Hardware’s kitchen

Plu

m galett

expert and the star of Bake with Anna Olson on Food Network Canada.

“You too can join those who get excited about baking and have a memorable and delicious holiday season by following a few simple guidelines.”

Olson offers these preparation tips for stress-free baking: • Freeze your cookie dough: Most

e

X From B17

For the almond topping: 1/2 cup sliced blanched almonds 2 Tbs butter, softened 2 Tbs brown sugar 1 Tbs all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon For the galette: 8-10 ripe prune plums, pitted and quartered 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 sheet prepared butter Puff pastry rolled to 12x12-inch square 1 egg yolk

In a 375 F oven, toast almonds on a baking sheet until golden, about seven minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then combine with the butter, sugar, flour and cinnamon to make a crumbly mixture. Set aside.

Gently toss plums with one-quarter cup brown sugar.

Place the prepared puff pastry on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle half the almond mixture in the centre of the pastry. Mound the plum slices over top, leaving a two-inch border of pastry for folding.

Sprinkle the second half of the almond mixture on top of the plums. Pull the pastry edges up over the outer layer of plums to form a rough circle, pleating the pastry as you go.

Brush the pastry with egg yolk. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the plums have softened.

Slide parchment paper and galette onto a wire rack and allow to cool before slicing and serving.

of the work in making cookies is in the mixing and shaping of the dough, but many cookie varieties, once baked, don’t thaw as nicely as those freshly baked — and they take up lots of freezer room.

To save time and space, make your dough in advance, wrapping it well and freezing it along with the baking instructions so you don’t have to look it up later.

For the super-organized person, pack ga a variety of wrapped cookie dough into co separate vacuum canse isters to thaw later, is one on for each week of the busy holiday season. se • Customize your cakes: For your next ca holiday party, create ho a customized cake for your yo guests by changing in up your traditional cake ca shape and size.

Did you know that a standard recipe for a 9-x-5-inch loaf cake will w also fit into a nine-inch round or ni square cake pan or fill sq 12 standard muffin cups? cu The only thing that th changes is the bake ba time (less time for fo the square and round pans and even ro less le for muffins cups). cu You’ll also have an easier time making in custom shapes by choosing non-stick ch bakeware. ba • Easy square slicing: in To slice perfect squares, begin by linsq ing in your baking pan with w parchment paper so it comes up the sides. si This makes it easy

to lift out the finished squares onto a cutting board.

To prevent sticking, use the Kuraidori chef’s knife.

It has a blade that features special granton depressions preventing particles from sticking to the edge of the knife, potentially disrupting clean, even cuts.

Immerse it in hot water, then dry to slice the squares cleanly without sticking or pulling.

This technique also works wonderfully for cheesecake.

• Bake with others: Lessen the load (and share the delicious end results) by baking with those close to you.

Whether it’s simply a friend helping with dishes, showing your child or grandchild how to break an egg or guiding a teenager through a cake they can be proud of, you’ll treasure those memories even more than Christmas morning itself.

“My fondest Christmas memories are of spending time with my grandmother baking before the holidays,” Olson said.

“My mother and I now honour her memory with a whole baking day devoted to making her recipes.”

Down with Us “Wine is bottled poetry” ~ R.L. Stevenson Author: John Koopmans

When traveling through the scenic Salmon Valley, between Salmon Arm and Vernon, you will find OVINO vineyards and winery perched on a bench well above the valley bottom. This glacier carved landscape offers mostly sandy and sandy loam soils, marbled with infrequent layers of clay.

The vines are located on a sun drenched knoll to maximize photosynthesis and air flow, supported by a drip irrigation system.

In 1992 the property was purchased by John and Catherine Koopmans, who established a small dairy farm on this 31 acre property as well as keeping a small flock of sheep. In 2006 it was decided to sell the cows and in 2007 a four acre vineyard was planted with four varieties of grapes: pinot gris, pinot meunier, gewurztraminer and the old cold hardy standby marachel foch.

In 2009 an additional 3/4 of an acre was planted in newly developed fungal disease resistant varieties, cabernet libre and regent, both red wine grape varieties.The flock of sheep is still around (hence the OVINO name) and is given access to the vineyard in the dormant season to clean up weeds and provide natural fertilizer. At OVINO we strive for sustainability in our farming methods.

John’s interest in wine was sparked while studying agriculture in the Netherlands. Since then he has been making wine and beer on a small scale at home. It was decided that for the first few years making wine commercially, a winemaker with experience in larger quantities would be consulted. Preferably one familiar with cold climate growing conditions . Who better then award winning Hans Nevrkla, the pioneering vintner who’s persistence and creativity gave rise to Larch Hills winery, the first one this far north.

OVINO winery is a true family project, with John and Catherine’s daughter Jessica and her husband Don Gawley helping out with many of the day to day operations, and other family members helping at harvest time. Estate grown grapes are supplemented with some purchased grapes, mostly the same varieties, from nearby vineyards. An arrangement that is likely to continue in the future.

Be sure to stop by the tasting room when in the area. At present our tasting room can only be entered via a short set of stairs and therefore is NOT wheelchair accessible. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this might create and hope to address this issue at some time in the future.

Candidate Romney should have known better X From B10

If this is not outright contempt, it comes very close.

It was especially reckless of Romney to couch the whole discourse in terms of who pay taxes or doesn’t.

This from a man who has refused to release more than the past two years of his own tax returns. Why endure all the criticism about not releasing the past five years, say, if there was nothing to hide in the returns for the preceding years?

Like, maybe, the possibility that Romney paid no tax at all in those previous returns.

The people who pay no taxes in the United States are the very poor and the very rich — and Romney certainly falls into the lat-

ter category. If he paid no tax at all in 2007, 2008 and 2009, say, he would have fallen into the 47 per cent in those years.

So, should we conclude that he voted for Obama in 2008?

Probably not — and we can feel a certain sympathy for a man whose supposedly private remarks, shaped to appeal to an ultra-rich and ultra-conservative audience, have been dragged into the public domain.

But, he should have known better.

Almost invisible to him, there was another group of people in that room who were not rich at all — the people who waited on the tables of the mighty. gwynnedyer.com
