It was just over four metres that cost $750,000, but now it’s done.

Royal Inland Hospital’s newly upgraded air-ambulance helipad officially opened on Tuesday, Oct. 30, on the southeast corner of the hospital grounds.

“It’s critical for the time of service Royal Inland Hospital provides,” said KamloopsNorth Thompson Liberal MLA Terry Lake, who specifically mentioned the many farflung, isolated parts of his constituency tough to reach by ground.

The new helipad juts out over the hillside at 17.5 metres in size, up from the outdated 13-metre landing area that lost its Transport Canada certification in 2010.

Since then, air-ambulance flights had been forced to land first at Kamloops Airport — creating a lengthy ground commute to RIH — and then at a temporary site on city-owned land on Mission Flats.

Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar, who is

[web-extra www.kamloopsthisweek.com

also chairman of the regional hospital district, said the helipad will save lives of residents who don’t live close to RIH. “It’s facilities like this that do help all our regional partners in this hospital district,” he said. “This is another one of those pieces that’s really important.”

B.C. Ambulance Service unit chief Randy MacLeod said patients who arrive by air at the new helipad will be loaded into a ground ambulance and rushed into RIH. “Minutes saved every time we’re able to land here makes a difference,” he said, thanking the City of Kamloops for the temporary site at Mission Flats.

“As convenient as that was, and as close as you’re able to land there, you just can’t beat being able to land in the backyard.

“We’re able to put patients back in the arms of their loved ones sooner and really that’s why we’re all here and that’s what this is all about.”

The new helipad was certified on Oct. 4 and has been operational since just after Thanksgiving.

The trial of a Kamloops man accused of murdering his father inside a Westsyde home last year is slated to get underway next week in B.C. Supreme Court.

Joshua Isaac Steel is slated to stand trial beginning on Monday, Nov. 5.

The 19-year-old was arrested after his father, 63-year-old Phil Steel, was found dead inside the family’s Collingwood Drive home on Sept. 12, 2011.

Josh Steel, who has no prior criminal record, was charged with second-degree murder a short time later.

During a court appearance in October 2011, defence lawyer Don Campbell mentioned the possibility of a not criminally responsible by way of a men-

The judge presiding over Steel’s trial could order the accused undergo an NCRMD psychiatric assessment.

If a doctor were to then find Steel NCRMD, the judge would have to accept the finding in order for the file to be turned over to the B.C. Review Board.

In that case, Steel would not spend time in prison.

He would instead be

held in the custody of the province at a psychiatric hospital in the Lower Mainland until doctors deemed him fit for release.

No details of the circumstances surrounding the death of Phil Steel have been made public, but neighbours have told KTW the suspect had been acting erratically and had been subdued by police in the days leading up to his father’s death.

The trial is scheduled to last three days.

Kamloops Food Bank feeding more kids Local organization bucks national trend, but age segments seeing big changes in numbers

By Dale Bass

by the numbers

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

If you go strictly by the statistics, usage at the Kamloops Food Bank (KFB) has been static — a fact that seems to contradict a recent survey.

HungerCount 2012, a comprehensive report on hunger and food-bank use in Canada, reports the agencies that feed the hungry in B.C. have seen usage increase 6.6 per cent from last year to this year.

At the local food bank, however, while the general trend shows not much change, when you look at various age segments, it’s a different story.

The KFB is feeding more children ages six and younger than the provincial average, at 32 per cent of its clientele compared to a B.C. average of 29.5 per cent.

In terms of actual children, that’s 804 little mouths to feed last year, up from 782 the year before.

There are more new moms and newborns now being referred

by Royal Inland Hospital staff to the food bank, said Melodie Grabner, KFB resource-development manager, noting the agency has created a baby bank to provide layettes, formula, diapers

Kamloops Food Bank new clients, Nov. 1, 2011 to Oct. 31, 2012: School age: 210 Young adult: 253 Adult ages 26 to 40: 340 Adults ages 41 to 60: 343 Seniors: 75 Total: 1,221

and the basics babies need.

The 19- to 25-age group “is a serious majority,” said Grabner and, of that group, at least 70 per cent, “if not higher,” are people also trying to live on a disability pension.

In the past year, the food bank has seen 253

new clients in that category.

The senior segment has seen an increase to 450 in 2011 from 409 in 2010 and 356 in 2009. Seventy-five new seniors joined the food-bank roster in the past 12 months.

Tracking the total number of clients the agency deals with reflects the overall plateauing basic statistics show.

In 2007, it saw 4,496 clients; in 2008, 5,512; in 2009, 6,771.

In 2010, the number climbed to just 6,931 and, last year, the total client list dropped to 6,810.

But, that’s not the whole story.

KFB provides food for 40 programs that also feed people.

They range from breakfast and lunch programs at schools through School District 73, to church soup kitchens, Tk’emlups Indian Band, ASK Wellness Centre, the New Life Mission and churches throughout the community.

They compose a segment of hungry being fed that is not reflected in the food-bank statistics.

About one-quarter of the food collected goes to the FoodShare program, a reality made possible because the Kamloops agency is one of the few in the country that receives food from 20 stores.

The need to feed people has led to other diversification, with the Kamloops agency creating seven distinct hampers, including those for diabetics, people who require high-protein diets (this could include pregnant and nursing moms and people with serious illnesses), transient hampers with goods that have removable lids or foods that require little preparation, and family hampers to deal with singles, couples and families.

Nationally, the report details food-bank usage increasing last year in every province/territory except Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador and the Northwest Territories.

Manitoba saw the largest increase in usage, at 14.2 per cent.

Alberta saw the largest decrease, at 8.9 per cent.

Snow Removal from City Streets Arterial Roads : Roads like Fortune Drive, Columbia Street and the Summit Connector carry the highest volume of traffic and are the first to receive attention. Our goal is to keep these routes bare as long as possible, and to return them to bare condition within 4 hours of the end of a storm.

Collectors and Bus Routes: Dallas Drive, Springhill Drive and Ord Road are examples of roads that receive second priority during and after storms. Our goal is to keep these roads bare as long as possible during a storm, and to return them to bare condition within 16 hours of the end of a storm.

Residential Streets: Our goal is to sand or plow residential streets as necessary within 36 hours of the end of a storm. Residential streets are not returned to a bare pavement condition. As long as snow continues to fall, City crews will continue to clear arterial roads to keep them clear for most traffic, and for emergency vehicles, before moving onto the lower priority roads. Within each of the three categories above, priority will be given to hills over level streets.

Sidewalks and Driveways: City crews strive to plow snow off roadways without placing it onto sidewalks, but this still sometimes happens. It is the responsibility of homeowners to clear snow off sidewalks adjacent to their property, and to clear the windrow at the end of their driveway. Remember when shovelling your driveway to always pile the snow on the left side of the driveway (facing the property). This will give you a better line of vision of the traffic coming and when our plows go by, we will not drag your shovelled piles back into your driveway entrance. The placing of snow on the travelled portion of the roadway contravenes the City’s Traffic Control Bylaw. This regulation helps to ensure that potentially dangerous situations for motorists are avoided and the roadway is kept clear for emergency vehicles. For further information please call 250-828-3461.

Brier’s return good for Kamloops business who will eat, shop, sleep and no doubt party while in the Tournament Capital.

As it stands today, Morris said, Kamloops has about 3,200 hotel rooms, meaning the Brier fans, athletes and officials would essentially fill up all local accommodations.

But, by the time 2014 rolls around, downtown Kamloops is expected to be home to two additional hotels — the new Sandman project across the street from ISC and the old Coast Canadian Inn on St. Paul Street, which will likely bear the Doubletree brand at some point in the near future.

Morris said local businesses will also be hurrying hard to get in on the action.

“There will be a lot more engagement, maybe, than the last time around,” Morris said, referencing the 1996 Brier in Kamloops — the last time B.C. hosted the event.

The Brier is coming back to Kamloops — bringing with it, most likely, lots of money and tourists.

The Tournament Capital has been awarded the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier — the well-attended national championship for Canadian men’s curling, and an event broadcast start-tofinish on TSN — to be played at Interior Savings Centre.

If the projections of organizers prove true, what is arguably the world’s most competitive bonspiel will mean big money for local hotels and businesses.

Lee Morris, CEO of Tourism Kamloops, said she expects the Brier to have an $8-million impact on the local economy.

She said organizers are anticipating about 3,000 curling fans to make the trek to Kamloops in March of 2014 — curling fans

Morris said the 1996 event also had a “significant impact” on the local accommodation sector and Kamloops businesses.

Avenue and Victoria Street.

That means spectators and partiers will likely spend at least a little bit of time on foot downtown, and Pooler said that will be good for business.

“Our downtown is the type that out-oftown visitors like to walk around in,” she said.

“So, it works.

said Gay Pooler, general manager of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association.

“It’s good for restaurants, good for shops.”

People will definitely be going out and walking around downtown.

“It’s good for our businesses, it’s good for the visitors — it’s good for everybody.”

According to Morris, one of the biggest benefits of Kamloops hosting the Brier will be the media coverage — hours and hours of high-definition

beamed to millions of TVs across Canada for eight straight days.

“That’s a really important part of the reason we [Tourism Kamloops] came on board as a sponsor,” she said.

“And, there’s a commitment to them doing vignettes and that kind of thing as well, so that will be good for Kamloops.”

Scammers again target Kamloops residents

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Trust your gut.

That’s the word from Kamloops Mounties after a string of door-todoor scammers apparently hit Tournament Capital streets in recent weeks.

Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said police were called to a home on Ryan Place in Brocklehurst just before 10 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 30, after a socalled salesman raised the suspicion of a resident.

Learned said the suspect — described as an Asian man wearing jeans and glasses and carrying a clipboard — knocked on a window at the home to get the resident’s attention.

When she came to the door, the visitor claimed to be from “an independent gas company,” Learned said.

“He had a very thick Asian accent and was difficult to understand,” Learned said.

The resident apparently told the suspect she wasn’t interested and he walked away.

“He left their home, he walked down the street and did not make contact with any other residents but did stand in front of several houses,” Learned said.

The suspect was gone by the time police arrived.

Learned said there was a similar report earlier in the week.

But, it’s not just would-be salesmen.

Police are also investigating an alleged attempted fraud in Westsyde after a man claiming to be canvassing for donations to a local charity almost ripped off a compassionate resident.

Learned said the incident took place on Monday, Oct. 29, when a man claiming to be representing Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Kamloops showed up at a house on Overlander Drive.

The scammer talked the homeowner into making a donation in exchange for a

Starbucks gift card. The transaction was made through a hand-held

debit machine.

Learned said the homeowner became

suspicious and cancelled the transaction.

Follow-up phone

calls revealed the canvasser was not representing any charity and

the Starbucks card had no balance.

Anyone who

thinks they have been scammed can call police at 250-828-3000.

Krueger claims $6K in Victoria accommodation expenses STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

What does $1,000 a month buy an MLA in Victoria?

In the case of Kevin Krueger, MLA for Kamloops South Thompson, it’s a pad in an RV lot for the fifth wheel trailer that serves as his home base when he’s at the legislature.

Krueger claimed $6,000 in accommodation expenses between April 1 and September 30, 2012, according to the MLA travel expense documents released Oct. 31.

While the last legislative session ended on May 31, Krueger said he’s often in the capital for other reasons — and

was on his way there for a function as he spoke to KTW. “Even when we’re not in session, we have committee meetings, caucus meetings, lots of times when we have to meet,” he said.

There are a few options for MLAs who have to travel to Victoria from other parts of the province, each which has a different maximum amount which can be claimed.

For those who rent or buy a place to stay in the capital, as Krueger does, the monthly maximum is $1,000.

While the rent on his RV pad is more like $1,400 in the summer months, he said it drops

in the winter and the amount averages out to about KEVIN $1,000 a KRUEGER month.

“I just go with that,” he said.

“It’s less accounting and hotels are much more expensive for me.”

During the same period, Krueger also claimed $2,498 in per diem expenses. MLAs get a per diem of $61 per day while in Victoria on legislative business.

Krueger also claimed $13,439 in general travel expenses, and $2,376 in in-constituency travel.

According to his expense summary, North Kamloops MLA Terry Lake claimed only $5,959 in total travel expenses for the same six-month period.

However, that amount doesn’t include expenses racked up in his role as Minister of the Environment, which are posted separately on the province’s “open

If it looks like an earthquake and feels like an earthquake . . .

WATCHED WENDY MESLEY interview Kelly Kryzanowski of Emergency Information B.C. earlier this week on CBC’s The National.

It was an awkward interview to watch, particularly for a reporter, because it was obvious Mesley wanted Kryzanowski to say, “Yes, you’re right, Wendy. We should have tweeted, ‘Beware of possible tsunami’ as soon as our office desks started to shake.”

Mesley pushed hard, pointing out the U.S. government had tweeted within 10 minutes of the earthquake that hit the Haida Gwaii region, warning people it was a major quake and there was a danger the oceans would respond.

Kryzanowski’s office didn’t do the same for more than an hour.

I felt for Kryzanowski.

She had a definite deer-in-theheadlights look about her and it seemed like she was reading from a script — likely one prepared by another bureaucrat because it had all the right buzz words.

Her office had replied “in a very rapid fashion.”

The emergency duty manager “arrived on scene within 10 minutes.”

They had to wait to verify “the information was appropriate for our area.”

Then she rhymed off a lot of statistics about how many phone calls, emails and faxes were sent out after the earthquake hit.

Perhaps the truest moment in the interview, though, was when she said to Mesley the most obvious

I

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL and immediate notification people received about an earthquake hitting was when the earthquake actually hit.

We’ve all seen enough news coverage of the devastation Mother Nature can bring to us to know that, when there’s a big earthquake and an ocean within thousands of miles, there’s a strong chance those waves will get worked up and create even more damage.

Do we really need a tweet in a situation like this? Is social media now replacing common sense?

Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr, Blogspot and all the others have their place in this new wired world in which we live, but perhaps we’re relying on them too much.

This is not a rant against social media at all — far from it. If my computer acts up or my laptop won’t connect to the Internet, I’m the first to complain.

I use my smartphone to text — usually my teenager, asking when he’ll be home or if he’s having dinner with us — and have a healthy Facebook presence.

Yes, I have Facebook friends

I have never met but I also have journalist friends I’ve never shared space with — and, with some, we are continents apart and I’ll likely never really meet them.

I send tweets, use three email accounts to keep things in my life straight — and would never tell my teenagers they can’t use technology and social media.

It’s simply a reflection of the world in which we live — and, frankly, I’m one of those parents who believes the fact my children have cellphones just makes it all that much easier for them to get in touch with me if they need to, be it an emergency or just an update on their day.

But, the reality is also I don’t have enough time in the day or interest to go to Twitter or Facebook to find out everything that’s happening around me.

It’s why, when people call at work to ask why something wasn’t in the newspaper, I have to tell them that if they’re relying on me to check every Facebook page there is to stay abreast of events, it isn’t going to happen.

Social media is just another tool in my world.

I use it when I need to — and I have to think that, if my house was shaking, things were falling off shelves, the animals were freaking out, the wind was howling or the rain was coming down in torrents I hadn’t seen before, I’d know something bad was happening.

I don’t need to go online to know that. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Virtually every MLA’s office in B.C. was targeted by protesters on Wednesday, as opposition to the Northern Gateway pipeline intensifies. These protests follow a protest outside the Parliament Buildings in Victoria last Monday, Oct. 22.

The level of opposition to the pipeline project continues to mount. Opposition crosses almost all divides, be they political, age, gender or geographic. In northern B.C., where people have traditionally supported resourcebased projects much more strongly than in the Lower Mainland, opposition is just as intense as it is in this area.

While it seems unlikely that Northern Gateway will proceed, given not just the massive opposition but also an almost complete lack of support from First Nations, who legally have enormous clout over projects such as these, there is no lack of people willing to step up to the plate and object.

Unfortunately, they seem to be ignoring another looming policy decision that may have even more of an effect on B.C. resource projects.

The federal government is about to ratify a Canada-China investment treaty. While the treaty grants some additional rights to Canadian companies doing business in China, it also grants sweeping additional authority to Chinese companies in Canada.

Details of this treaty have not been debated in the House of Commons and don’t have to be.

While the opposition is now mounting a campaign against the treaty, the government points out the opposition has had four opposition days since the treaty was tabled and ignored it on each occasion.

It would be nice to know what actual powers this treaty will grant China and Chinese companies in Canada. If Northern Gateway were turned down, for example, and it was proposed by a Chinese company, what kind of recourse would it have?

Many Chinese companies are very interested in Canadian resources. Citizens need to know how this treaty will affect the ability of Canadian governments to make decsions affecting those resources.

Re: Story: Some on council think wood stoves should go:

RCMP gets coyote ugly in its fur request Editor: The RCMP has recently called for 2,000 strips of coyote fur with which to line their hats.

Apparently, the RCMP has not yet had its fill of negative publicity.

If recent issues regarding our national police force haven’t been enough to convince us it is stuck in some 1950s twilight zone, this will surely do it.

The RCMP continues to cling blindly and stubbornly to its old traditions and mentalities, in this instance to its objectification of animals.

Is the force not aware that, over the past several decades, along with the deobjectification of women, people in the developed world have come to understand animals are sentient creatures in their own right, that humans do not have the right to inflict suffering on them or cause their

unnatural death?

Yet the RCMP is insisting countless animals endure death by strangulation so Mounties can have a fur trim on their hats.

I ask each and every RCMP member to take a moment and imagine what it would feel like to be strangled to death.

If someone were to inform them that death by strangulation is humane, would that make it better for them?

That is how the RCMP is defending the brutal, violent killing of these coyotes.

I can assure them, however, that whatever it feels like for a human to be strangled, it feels exactly the same for any other living creature.

The onus is on each and every aware, conscious RCMP member to demand the exclusion of animal fur from their uniforms. If the members do not speak up, what does that tell us?

“Just a note — the older, inefficiant stoves are not made any more and, as they wear out, they will be replaced with cleaner-burning stoves.

“This proposed bylaw will happen all on its own.”

They need not worry about their heads being cold.

Contrary to the RCMP’s statement that fur surpasses any synthetic materials available in meeting extreme weather conditions, I quickly found numerous websites retailing extreme weather gear, one of which sells an Expedition Arctic Thermal Hat that is earth-friendly, good to -73 C and sells for $69.99 each.

If I can find such a suitable alternative that quickly and easily, surely the RCMP can, too.

My respect for the RCMP has been on a downslide and, if it does not change its mentality regarding this issue, any remaining respect I have for the force will be gone.

Editor: Canadian democracy is going down the tube, as best evidenced by the fact polls show two-thirds of Canadians are progressive, yet we are now being ruled with an iron fist by the Conservatives, who likely stole the election in part through the use of robo-calls.

Our elected representatives do not represent their constituents, but rather vote along party lines, as do non-elected senators. Power in Canada is now concentrated in the Prime Minister’s Office and most national policies and decisions benefit corporations and the one per cent, to the detriment of most Canadians.

Whether it is more prisons, jet fighters and pipelines, gutting of environmental laws or omnibus bills, the undemocratic Conservative government is destroying the Canada we once cherished.

Now it is giving away our sovereignty by signing a treasonous trade deal with China that will allow this thoroughly

undemocratic country to sue any level of government that blocks its ability to utilize our resources.

There are solutions possible, but only if we have an electoral system that is fair and ensures each MP is elected with more than 50 per cent of the votes through a run-off election.

To ensure the majority of Canadians are represented by the next federal government, the two major progressive parties will have to co-operate so either one of them, or a coalition of the two, form government in 2015.

To fix the problem of voter apathy, we need to make voting mandatory, as is done in Australia.

More Canadians need to wake up and stand strong to help bring democracy back by opposing the Stephen Harper government’s assault on the environment and our rights and freedoms.

CN says no to walkway on bridge

Authorized Dealer For . . .

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Leaders on both sides of the Thompson River are expressing frustration over CN’s decision not to add a walkway to its rail bridge.

For more than a decade, the T’kemlups Indian Band (TIB) has been pushing for a walkway on the bridge, which connects Riverside Park with band land.

Earlier this year, the City of Kamloops agreed to throw its political weight behind the project.

But, in a letter to the two councils dated Oct. 5, CN’s assistant vice president for B.C. south said the company won’t pursue the plan.

“Our belief is that putting a walking trail on a rail line over a bridge generates an unacceptably high level of risk,” wrote Michael Farkouh.

He said the company is willing to look at ways to deter people from trespassing on the bridge, however.

TIB Chief Shane Gottfriedson said the response is disappointing, given the number of deaths that have occurred due to people walking on the bridge over the years.

“They’re more worried about their liability issues

A request by the city and Tk’emlups Indian Band to CN Rail to have a pedestrian walkway added to this rail bridge has been turned down. The band and city are concerned about safety issues, while the railroad said a walkway would create “an unacceptably high level of risk.” Dave Eagles/KTW

than looking at the publicsafety concern, in my opinion,” he said.

“We’ve spent a number of years dialoguing and talking about this issue and, for us, I think it’s frustrating that, after all these years of talk, they finally say what they’ve said.”

In the letter, Farkouh said a study conducted by CN for two weeks this year showed of the 1,646 pedestrians crossing the river, only 36 used the CN Rail Bridge

to do so.

Mayor Peter Milobar said the number of people crossing the bridge isn’t the main issue.

“It’s about the risk that happens when those movements happen and the numbers of deaths we’ve seen over the years, especially of TIB members,” he said.

“It’s not necessarily a heavily used crossing for pedestrians, but it is a very dangerous one and it’s actu-

ally occurring.

“So, I guess we’ll have to keep working with CN to try to figure out ways to get that number down to a zero.”

Gottfriedson said the band will likely lobby the federal Ministry of Transportation to determine if there’s another way to get a walkway built to Riverside.

City council will also write a letter to CN expressing its disappointment about the decision.

BACK TO BLACK A MISSION

Habitat For Humanity Kamloops Society

Friends and supporters of the New Life Mission gathered at the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University for the mission’s annual Back to Black fundraiser to help the agency with its projects and programs. The name comes from the mission’s financial difficulties and its campaign to return its financial books to black from red ink. Among those who attended were Rick Smeaton (left), Calvin Allen, Anne Marie Allen and Karen Smeaton.

Take a walk, learn some history

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops’ latest walking tour runs day or night, rain or shine — and doesn’t require pre-registration.

All you need is a music player or smartphone, a special map, decent footwear and some headphones.

Created by Think Green Publishing, with the City of Kamloops and the Kamloops Museum and Archive, the audio tour puts museum supervisor Elisabeth Duckworth in your ears for an hour and 15 history-packed minutes.

Steve Ceron of Think Green Publishing said the self-directed tour idea had been kicking around in his head for several years when he heard one of Duckworth’s tours.

“It was one of those things where I went, you know what? I should probably talk to her,” he said.

While Duckworth provided the facts — the history of St. Andrews on the Square, Billy Miner, early city bylaws and other tidbits —

Think Green’s Arrival Magazine will provide directions.

Starting with the November issue, a heritage walking-tour map will run in the back of the magazine, with each stop on the tour identified.

To make sure walkers have enough time to get to each destination, Ceron videotaped Duckworth giving her tour, using the footage to pace out the recording.

Between clips, walkers will be treated to vintage music and the occasional sound effect.

All told, the tour took about 10 months to put together and Ceron said he’s hoping to see it catch on with tourists who may not be able to sign up for a regular guided tour — those in Kamloops on the Rocky Mountaineer, for instance.

The audio portion is available as a free download at arrivalkamloops. com/heritage-walking-tour/ and the accompanying map can be picked up from the Kamloops Museum and Archives at 207 Seymour St., which is also the first stop on the walking tour.

Crash victim identified A Kamloops man who died following a single-vehicle crash in Sahali last week has now been identified.

The BC Coroners Service has identified the driver as 22-year-old Myles Dallas Wolfe.

He was driving a 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier on the TransCanada Highway shortly after 7 a.m. on Oct. 23 when he lost control and the vehicle left the roadway, rolling down a 30-foot embankment near the intersec-

tion of Columbia Street and Notre Dame Drive.

Wolfe was taken to Royal Inland Hospital in critical condition and died three days later.

The BC Coroners Service and Kamloops Mounties continue to investigate the crash.

At the time, police said roads were slick at the time Wolfe’s car left the highway.

Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

Public invited to experience Great Bear Rainforest Nature photographer Brad Hill will present a talk and slideshow on the Great Bear Rainforest on Friday, Nov. 2, at 7 p.m. at the Alumni Theatre in the Clock Tower Building at Thompson Rivers University.

Hill, who has photographed the area, the

largest tract of temperate rainforest left on Earth, is in Kamloops for the weekend, doing workshops on nature photography and working with digital images. The Friday event is the only one open to the public.

Admission is $15 and tickets are available at the Kamloops

Live Box Office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-3745483, kamloopslive.ca.

The name Great Bear Rainforest was given to the area in B.C. in the 1990s by environmentalists trying to bring attention to the area and threats

to its environment.

A partnership between conservationists, the forest industry, First Nations, tourism organizations and government led to 70,000 square kilometres being designated as the Great Bear Rainforest.

About 20,000 square kilometres, stretching from Discovery Island to the B.C.-Alaska border, is protected.

The area is home to cougars, wolves, salmon, grizzly and Kermode bears.

Clover takes a stroll Rare Kermode bear captured after brief escape

By Dale Bass

Clover is the world’s only in-captivity Kermode (Spirit) bear. This week, he tasted freedom briefly before being found and brought back to the B.C. Wildlife Park.

“This is not your average bear,” park general manager Glenn Grant said. “He’s a smart little bear.”

Allen Douglas photo

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

He definitely has a wandering Spirit.

Just hours after arriving at the B.C. Wildlife Park in east Kamloops, Clover, the Kermode (Spirit) bear, engaged in a great escape.

A zookeeper at the park went to feed breakfast to the white bruin, the only one of its kind in captivity and the latest addition to the park, on Tuesday, Oct. 30, only to find the gated, roofed enclosure empty.

“We’d just introduced him,” park general manager Glenn Grant said, “and, now, it’s ‘,Where’d he go?’”

Clover had climbed the 12-foot chain-link wall to the roof of his quarantine pen and managed to work loose a wire holding chain link together at the joint.

“He somehow squeezed through there,” Grant said.

“There was a lot of fur he left behind.”

The enclosure, a 40-foot-square area, will be home to the bear until at least next spring.

The joints of wall and roof are traditionally kept closed, with clamps every four feet and wire twists between Murphy’s

those gaps. However, with Clover, the decision was made to put the clamps every three feet apart.

He still managed his escape.

“This is not your average bear,” Grant said.

“He’s a smart little bear.”

The park was closed to visitors while staff checked to see if he was still on-site Then the hunt moved on, with the unfortunate zookeeper in a helicopter and other zookeepers on foot tracking Clover.

They found him just a bit south of the park, north of Eaglepoint Golf Course and Blackwell Dairy, “sitting on a log in a ravine,

eating berries. Not a care in the world,” Grant said.

Clover’s position, however, made it difficult to shoot a tranquilizer dart into him, so staff just kept an eye on him as he wandered around. After a few hours, Clover was in an area open enough to be tranquilized.

He fell asleep, was put into a crate and brought back to his new home at about dinnertime.

Grant said staff is confident Clover will try to escape again, so the enclosure has been adapted to address the bear’s ingenuity.

“We’ve added a lot

more clamps,” Grant said, noting wire has been woven through the chain-link joints to make them seamless.

An electrified hot wire, which will give Clover a mild jolt if he tries to escape, has also been added.

With winter coming, Clover will hibernate soon and, when he awakes in the spring, he’ll still be in the enclosure, which has an adjacent pen that is four times larger and has other amenities a bear needs, including a pool.

Clover’s name has been the source of some complaints in social media, Grant said, noting the Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter named him so because the colour of his fur is similar to that of the clover flower bud — and clovers are a source of honey.

For Grant and his staff, though, the name is appropriate for another reason.

“A four-leaf clover is rare — and he’s a very rare bear.”

CAROLINE “MARIE” SKRETKA (nee Dance / Dodds) June 9, 1944 – October 27, 2012 Caroline “Marie” Skretka passed away in the evening of October 27, 2012 at RIH with her loving family by her side. Marie is survived by her husband Ed, daughters Cristina, Laurel (Troy) and Melody (Wyatt) stepsons Albert and Wesley and grandchildren Kyle, Shannen, Dylan, McKenna, Wyatt Jr., Whitney, Jackson, Emily and Caitlin. She also leaves her mother Dorothy and brothers and sisters, Bob (Joyce), Donna, Valerie (Al), Lynne (Gary), Mark (Jan) and families, along with aunts, nieces, and nephews. She was predeceased by her late husband Edward Dance and father Robert Dodds.

Marie was born and raised on Salt Spring Island, BC. After graduation Marie completed her LPN nursing and began working in Victoria then later at RIH, Overlander, the Irving Clinic and then spent 16 years working for Dr. Keith Boughton as an MOA at Aberdeen Medical Clinic.

Marie was an active volunteer working with the Celiac Association, the Catholic Church and Seniors Information Center. She had a love for the outdoors, flowers and animals. Marie loved people and had a smile for everyone and she cherished the friendships she made. Her determination and loving spirit was an inspiration to her family and friends. Her love and devotion for her family always came first. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

JEROME GIRODAT May 24,1931- October 27, 2012 In the early hours of October 27th, Dad went to be with the Lord in heaven. He fought bravely until the end, as he found it very difÀcult to leave the love of his life for over 60 years, Marianne, and his family. He leaves behind his Àve children: Randy (Brenda), Corinne Smith (Don), Dan, Charmaine, Wayne (Tessa), and the apples of his eye; his three grandchildren: Nathan, Braden and Darin Smith. He was predeceased by nine siblings and leaves behind his sister, Dorothy Hay (Gull Lake, Sask.)

Dad continues to be loved by several brothers and sisters in-law and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

Dad was born in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan, but lived on a farm in the Gull Lake District until he came out to Kamloops with Marianne and her family in 1956. He married his sweetheart in 1958 and resided on the North Shore ever since. He worked downtown in the Service Department at Syd Smith’s Automotive for 27 years. He was then the caretaker at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church until a car accident in 1984, which prevented him from continuing to work. However, this did not keep Dad down. It took him over a year to walk again without crutches, and then he would walk to Northills everyday, up until his last days. Dad had always had a very strong work ethic and always kept busy. He enjoyed working in the yard and garden and was Mr. Fix-it, up until the end.

Dad was a devoted and loving husband, father and grandfather. He always put his faith and family Àrst. He made many family trips back to Saskatchewan to visit. Dad had the most amazing memory and could give you a history lesson or tell the greatest stories. He would recognize people after many years and would greet people by name wherever he went.

Having integrity was very important to him and he believed in the power of someone’s word or that of a handshake.

Thank you to the doctors and nurses on 3 West of RIH who showed Mom such compassion.

Prayers will be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church on Thursday, November 1st at 7:00 pm. The Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday, November 2nd at 10:30 am.

A celebration of Marie’s life will be held on Saturday, November 3, 2012 at St. John Vianney Catholic Church at 1:00 pm with a tea to follow.

The Family would like to thank all of the health care professionals who tried to heal him and who helped to make him comfortable during his last days.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the charity of choice in memory of Marie.

In lieu of Áowers, please send donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there, I do not sleep.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there, I did not die!

KAMLOOPS NETS 2014 BRIER

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

HE LOSER CRUISER, filled with long faces, burned a trail two years ago from Vancouver to Kamloops and, at the same time, headed down a path toward the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier.

A Tournament Capital bid on the 2015 Canada Winter Games had been lost — Prince George was named host city at a press conference held alongside the Olympic Torch in September 2010 — and hours upon hours of hard work in Kamloops were for naught.

“We were driving through Langley, feeling sorry for ourselves, and then we said, ‘Hey, we’re a group of businessmen here and we can figure out events that we can bring to our community’,” said Norm Daley, recalling the mood change among the failed bidcommittee members in the vehicle that day.

“I think it was about that time I made the phone call to Warren and said, ‘We want to bring the Brier back to Kamloops’ . . . and here we are.”

Warren Hansen, director of event operations and media with the Canadian Curling Association (CCA), remembers the

call well.

He mentioned it during a press conference on Tuesday, Oct. 30, at Interior Savings Centre to announce the big news — Kamloops will host the 2014 Brier, the national men’s curling championship, from March 1 to March 9.

Daley, chairman of Kamloops’ Brier bid committee, was on hand to say a few words in ISC’s packed Parkside Lounge, filled with dignitaries, sponsor representatives, media members and curling fans.

“You go out there and you try to achieve a goal and you sometimes think it’s insurmountable but, working together as a team, as we do here in Kamloops, we’re always able to accomplish our goals,” Daley said.

The last time the prestigious curling tournament was in B.C. was 1996, when 127,746 people took in the action at ISC, then known as Riverside Coliseum.

Only twice since then has the Brier been played in a venue that holds fewer than 10,000 spectators — Regina in 2006 and London in 2011.

Fewer seats mean less ticket-sale revenue in the CCA’s coffers and that was likely the biggest obstacle facing Kamloops’

Kamloops will host the Tim Hortons Brier in 2014. Warren Hansen, director of event operations and media with the Canadian Curling Association, delivered the big news at a press conference, held on Tuesday, Oct. 30, at Interior Savings Centre. Dave Eagles/KTW

bid committee.

“It comes down to money, as things always do,” Hansen said.

“With the support that we’ve got from the province, the lotteries and the City of Kamloops, we can

come into this area and make this event work.”

The provincial government and B.C. Lottery Corporation are kicking in $100,000 apiece, with the city and Tourism Kamloops each adding $50,000 in event funding.

Need extra cash?

Call us at 250-374-0462 and we’ll get you on your way to making money.

“The big thing was to say, with the size of our facility, that we can still do it,” said Daley, noting the 1996 Brier was the 16th-most attended in the tournament’s 83-year history.

“We also pointed to the events that we’ve

held here before.”

Kamloops hosted the Canada Cup from 2003 to 2008 and the 1998 world championship, along with the 1996 Brier.

In 1998, more than 93,000 tickets were sold for the worlds.

“Just because we’re small doesn’t mean we can’t be successful,” Daley said.

Hansen told KTW the CCA has always been open to hosting the Brier in cities of Kamloops’ size.

“When we go into big venues, like in Alberta, our costs to operate those events are enormous because the facility costs are very, very large,” he said.

“We have never said we would not bring the Brier into a smaller venue. We did say the economic circumstance would have to be right to make it happen.”

Hansen added advertising costs are significantly lower in smaller towns and it’s easier to “get the word out.”

Ticket prices for the 2014 Brier have not yet been set. Weekly passes will likely be on sale in February, Hansen said.

Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar was aboard the Loser Cruiser (a term coined

by Daley) two years ago.

“You have two options when you lose a game — you either

mope around or you pick yourself up and get ready for the next competition,” Milobar said.

“That’s exactly what we were doing within an hour of getting told no.”

The Brier is expected to bring between $5 million and $6 million in economic impact to the city, according to the mayor.

“It’s in a time of the year where you’re not displacing people, in trading one tourist for another,” Milobar said.

“It’s the beginning of March, typically a time where there’s some extra rooms available in hotels.”

Milobar added most downtown businesses should experience a boon and the Kamloops Curling Club — which will double as the Brier Patch, the tourney’s main entertainment venue — will be buzzing with activity.

The Brier has been played in 31 cities across Canada, from Victoria to St. John’s.

Manitoba has the most wins, with 27, and Alberta is second, with 25.

B.C. has four titles — Frenchy D’Amour of Trail in 1948, Lyall Dagg of Vancouver in 1964, Rick Folk of Kelowna in 1994 and Greg McAulay of New Westminster in 2000.

In 1996 in Kamloops, Jeff Stoughton of Manitoba stole one in the 11th end to earn an 8-7 win over Kevin Martin of Manitoba in the final.

A Stoughton-Martin rematch cannot be ruled out in 2014.

The curling-savvy crowd at the press conference was happy to learn the winner of the 2014 Brier will become Team Canada and receive automatic entry into the 2015 Brier.

There will also be a relegation round played by a yet-to-be-determined number of teams prior to the 2015 Brier to decide which teams qualify for the 12-team draw.

Entry to that relegation round will be based on results at the 2014 Brier.

The 2013 Brier will be held at Rexall Place in Edmonton from March 2 to March 10.

TSN and RDS hold the exclusive television rights for the Brier, from round-robin play to the gold-medal matchup.

“The fact it hasn’t been in B.C. since it was played in Kamloops in ‘96, without them going to a Vancouver, or a location like that with those size of stadiums available, it speaks volumes to the volunteer commitment and the strength of the curling community in Kamloops,” Milobar said.

Twitter abuzz with Blazer banter

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

If the social-media world is any indication, there isn’t much room left on the Blazer Train.

Twitter blew up on Tuesday, Oct. 30, after Colin Smith scored in a shootout to give the visiting Kamloops Blazers a 3-2 win over the Everett Silvertips, handing the Blue and Orange its 14th straight victory — a franchise record.

“Judging by my twitter feed, Kamloopsians are really starting to jump onto the @blazerhockey bandwagon. #14Ws #recordsetter,” Blazer fan Dave Behnsen said on Twitter.

Both the 1986-1987 and 1989-1990 Blazers were halted at 13 straight wins and, with less than 10 minutes to play in the third period of Tuesday’s game, it looked like this season’s edition of the team might not get to 14, either.

Then again, when Chase Souto scored at 14:39 of the third frame to tie the game, it was not all that surprising.

These are, after all, the Cardiac Blazers.

“As Keener [Radio NL’s Jon Keen] says, just another day in the office,” Keefer said on Twitter.

“There isn’t words to describe their heart and determination.”

Blazer right-winger JC Lipon, who leads the Western Hockey League in goals with 16 and points with 40, capped an October — or Liptober, according to many on Twitter — to remember with the Blazers’ opening goal.

The Regina product is averaging 2.35 points per game. (Thanks to Twitter’s @WHLFacts for that statistic.)

Smith assisted on Souto’s goal, bringing his Canadian Hockey League-best point streak to 17 games.

Goaltender Cole Cheveldave extended his perfect record to 11-0-0, while the Blazers moved to 16-0-1 on the season.

The only blemish on Kamloops’ record is a shootout loss to the Victoria Royals on Sept.

28.

Not everyone on Twitter was shedding a completely positive light on the Blazers’ current streak.

coach and she said the sky is the limit for the dynamic duo.

“Gavin is the youngest kid to ever make Team B.C. and to ever win male athlete of the year and [Adrielle] has only been in the sport for two years,” she said.

“It’s been a process.

It takes time to get your kids to that level.”

Gavin, who enjoyed the spread at Hotel Vancouver, aside from the vegetable tray, had an exceptional 2012 season.

He won the B.C. allaround title in both trampoline and tumbling. At the Western Canada Cup (WCC), Gavin won four individual medals

— gold in men’s D tumbling, gold in synchronized trampoline, silver on individual trampoline and bronze on doublemini trampoline.

Adrielle’s accomplishments were equally impressive.

The Sa-Hali secondary student won the provincial all-around title and earned gold in tumbling and silver in synchronized trampoline at the WCC. To win the Gymnastics B.C. awards, both finished with the most points after three trial competitions and the provincial championships.

Adrielle Bertrand and Gavin Dodd of the Kamloops Gymnastics Trampoline Centre were looking dapper at the Vancouver Hilton Metrotown, where they recently received a pair of Gymnastics BC’s highest honours.

“It was a very busy awards ceremony — probably the biggest one I’ve ever gone to,” said Gavin, an eight-year-old Juniper Ridge elementary student.

“It was fancy, so we dressed up.”

Gavin was named the provincial male athlete of the year in trampoline and Adrielle earned the same award on the women’s side.

The younger of the two gymnasts accepted his award in a checkered shirt with a tie, while Adrielle, 16, donned dress pants and a blouse.

When KTW caught up with the provincial award winners, they were back in gym attire, doing what they do 11 hours a week — practising at the Tournament Capital Centre.

“This motivates me a lot because I really wanted to make Team B.C., and I told myself that at the beginning of the year, and now I did,” Adrielle said.

“Now, I want to be a national athlete, go to nationals and make Team Canada. I know I can do that.”

night’s stay at the Hilton before journeying back to Kamloops, despite the lack of an indoor pool.

With the night of grandeur now fading away in his rearview mirror, he is anxious to expand on his skill-set and stride toward his next goal.

“I want to be on Team Canada,” Gavin said.

Salmon plans to do her part in pushing her athletes toward their dreams.

“Next year, we could have five to seven national athletes and it all stems from the beginning and working on the basics,” she said.

Trench fans get to sing along — on stage

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

HERE’S A VERSE IN THE MARIANAS TRENCH SONG STUTTER THAT GOES LIKE THIS: “Sing it back, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, Sing it back to me.”

Those words will have special meaning for 18 Kamloops students when the Vancouver band performs at Interior Savings Centre on Saturday, Nov. 3.

They’ll be singing them back to the band.

The group of students from Beattie School of the Arts and South Kamloops secondary will share the stage with the band for two songs, Stutter and Fallout, both songs on the band’s album Ever After.

It’s a way to give back to fans and involve them in the shows, said Ian Cassleman, the band’s drummer.

“We try to get our fans involved as much as possible,” Casselman said, and, for this tour, that meant posting on its various social-media sites the opportunity for high school students to audition to perform.

“We got tons of submissions,” Casselman said and, after staff at the band’s record label narrowed them down to what they thought were the best, the band members had a listen and made the final decisions.

“Their submission was quite good,” he said of the Kamloops students.

“I remember theirs. There were two schools involved but it was obvious they both respected each other.”

The students who will be on the risers for their big moment include Paige Duncan, Katrina Ross, Moira Laidlaw, Julianna Bissonette, Brigit Broaders, Saidie

Raine Keim, Justine Wild, Shanon Webster, Karla Kilmartin, Tylor Robinson, Damian Halvorsen, Caleb Levesque, Jovelyn Pascual, Adrianna Bissonette, Maia Walker, Anita Cross, Katjana Johnson and Brook McLean.

Brook said she started the Kamloops involvement when she saw the opportunity on the band’s website.

By then, it had been up for several days and the deadline for a submission was just four days away.

Brook asked other choir members at South Kamloops secondary and some were interested.

The school is next to Beattie School of the Arts and they share classes so she asked some Beattie students and, “we became our own little choir,” she said.

While she didn’t know everyone at the start, “we’re all friends now.

“Everybody helped everybody out with it,” Brook said, and, after an eight-hour practice at her house and some assistance from local musician Kris Ruston, the group had its video ready — complete with choreography to the song.

“We submitted it with just 15 minutes before the deadline,” Brook said.

“Then we had all that suspense for about a week.”

The waiting and wondering ended when the band’s record label emailed to tell her they had been chosen for the Kamloops show.

“I had tickets for the show already, so I gave them away,” Brook said.

“And, then I won tickets so I gave them away, too.”

The opportunity to share the stage with the band proved popular, Casselman said, with dozens of submissions coming in for the tour stops.

One Edmonton audition, for example, included 70 teens.

The group was told to reduce

Marians Trench — Matt Webb (left), Mike Ayley, Rosh Ramsay and Ian Casselman — will bring 18 Kamloops students on stage on Saturday, Nov. 3, as a backup choir for two of the band’s songs. They’re doing it at every stop on their tour, Casselman said.

it to no more than 40.

“We have safety issues to consider,” Casselman said. “We’re putting them on risers and you can’t do that with a big group.”

There’s more to the performance than just going on stage, singing along and then getting off the stage.

The teens will be required to show up at Interior Savings Centre in the afternoon on show day, where they’ll go over the songs

with the band’s lead singer, Josh Ramsay, to ensure they know all the parts.

“But, obviously, they know the songs quite well,” Casselman said.

After they’ve gone through them, the group will be able to stay at the venue “and hang out with us,” Casselman said.

“We’ve found that to be exciting for the kids. They love music and we hope this is inspiring for them.

“We’re a band that loves music and loves to share it.”

This isn’t the first time Marianas Trench has done something to involve fans.

In a previous tour, the band ran a contest to identify a solo performer to go on stage and sing Good to You with Ramsay, a song that was a duet between him and American singer-actress Kate Voegele on the album Masterpiece Theatre.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

The Annual Mortgage Check-up For many Canadians, a mortgage is a once-every-five-year-chore. Fears about rates, costs and changes make this as enjoyable as paying taxes. However, a mortgage should be a tool to help you reach your goals, and that means planning.

Life changes often dictate different mortgage strategies: are you starting or growing a family, starting a business, experiencing loss or interruption of income, planning home renovations, purchasing investment property or facing other major expenditures? A mortgage review can assess if your current mortgage’s interest rate, payments and options will help reach your goals. Low interest rates make it a good time for homeowners to give their mortgage a second look. Here are some common reasons to revisit your mortgage: •Paying down your mortgage faster: If you receive extra cash like an inheritance, tax refund or a work bonus, think about putting it toward your mortgage. For example, paying an extra $3,000 once every year toward the principal on a $250,000 mortgage can result in interest savings of $42,442 over the life of the mortgage, assuming a 25-year amortization and a fixed rate of 4.19%.

Free Soup Bow •Lowering monthly payments: Renegotiating for a lower interest rate or higher amortization can protect your finances from unforeseen expenses, reduced income, and allow you to save up a rainy day fund.

•Debt consolidation: Boost your cash flow or pay down your debt faster by taking high interest debt like a credit card balance and consolidating it into your mortgage. Your debt moves from multiple high payments, into one lower mortgage payment. Most lenders allow extra payments of 20% per year, so pay more when you have more!

•Securing a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): A HELOC can help you access lower-cost funds for investing, such as topping up your RRSP or TFSA contribution. It can also help you pay for home improvement projects or just be available for peace of mind.

•Improving credit: A mortgage professional can discuss any credit concerns or issues and coach you on how to improve your credit score. Good credit advice can help you work toward cheaper future borrowing costs and better mortgage options.

•Identifying concerns: Mortgages are supposed to work for you. If you are unsure about specific mortgage functions or benefits, an annual check-up can be a great time to discuss concerns, learn how to set up extra payments, change your payment date and more.

HONOURABLE MUSIC The Kamloops Honour Band and Choir will perform on Saturday, Nov. 3, at Sagebrush Theatre at 3 p.m.

The annual event had originally been scheduled for 7 p.m., but several students taking part in it are also part of a choir chosen by Marianas Trench to back it on two songs during the band’s concert at Interior Savings Centre later that day. Tickets for the band and choir are $5 and available at the door. Students had to audition for the band and choir and have rehearsed with guest conductors for the performance. Shown during rehearsals are, above, Philipp Gordtzk (left), Alexander Ward and Jerry Kuo with Taylor Larter in the background and, right, Anthony Kovac (left), Anna Noel, Chris James and Hannah Babki.

In the end, a yearly mortgage checkup could reveal that the best course of action is no change at all… there is satisfaction in knowing that as well!

Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today.

TRAVEL

Bountiful Bohol Island beckons

By Irene Butler SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

I

SLAND-HOPPING IN THE PHILIPPINES IS A MUST. But, with the country’s many highlights, the difficulty is choosing which one when you are limited for time.

My husband Rick and I are drawn to Bohol in the central island group by a strange geographical phenomenon known as the Chocolate Hills and the hopes of seeing tarsiers, the world’s tiniest primates.

Along with our driver/guide Lino, we leave Bohol’s villagelike capital of Tagbilaran and breeze toward the 40-metre mounds.

Arriving at Chocolate Hills National Monument Lino explains: “It’s the dry season, when the scrub vegetation on the hills is sun-scorched to a brownish colour, hence the name.”

A lofty viewing deck is accessed by 214 steps — or by a winding path.

We choose the latter.

Gazing over the hills in every direction, I am amazed at how their conical and symmetrical shapes really do resemble endless rows of chocolate drops (it is said there are 1,268, if you care to count).

Geologists believe they were formed by the uplift of ancient coral deposits that have since been sculptured over time by erosion.

Legend has it they are the calcified tears of a brokenhearted giant, while another tale pegs them as the leavings of a giant carabao (water buffalo) with distressed bowels.

Spunky young people leap in place while friends snap their pictures at ground level, giving the appearance of bounding across the hilltops in the photo.

We try, but a jump six inches off the ground is not enough to create this illusion.

Backtracking to the town of Loboc, it is high noon — and hightime for lunch on the River Watch Floating Restaurant.

The tiny tarsier that lives on Bohol Island in the Philippines is an endangered species. Rick Butler photos

Along with 30 other passengers, we savour a delicious spread of buffet items.

A crooner serenades us with heart-warming tunes like Over the Rainbow and Moon River as our boat glides down the Loboc River.

Small thatched-roof houses line the shores.

Children swing out on ropes tied to trees and gleefully drop into the water.

Pulling up to a platform jutting from the shore, we are entertained by a local folk band, singers and dancers, before returning to our starting dock.

We next arrive at Tarsier Sanctuary Visitors Centre.

Bernard, the tarsier specialist, leads us along a root-tangled path to where a few of the elusive creatures perch in the jungle foliage.

“The tarsiers are nocturnal,” Bernard whispers, “so, each morning, I go looking to find where a few have ended up for their day’s sleep.”

We learn that, although Philippine tarsiers are often referred to as monkeys, they are more closely related to lemurs and tree shrews.

Bernard points to a leafy haven where huge fore and hind limbs in proportion to its 10-centimetre body grip a branch with adhesive pads.

Even more supersized for this 120-gram brownish furball are

its saucer eyes peering down at us.

We silently walk up to another with its back to us — its ultra-keen hearing prompts a disconcerting 180-degree head twist to check us out with sleepy halfclosed orbs.

Its tail droops from the branch, twice its body length.

I can imagine this appendage acting like a fifth limb while leaping up to three metres during the tarsiers’ nightly hunt.

To satiate their ferocious appetite, they consume about eight crickets

a night — or an equivalent number of beetles, termites or, if available, a lizard or frog.

This fascinating mammal has been around for a staggering 45-million years, since the early Eocene period.

Encroaching humans thinking them to be pests that ate rice crops, along with no knowledge of their environmental needs, brought them to near extinction.

Solitary and territorial, each tarsier requires at least one hectare of lush foliage to roam and hunt.

Triggered by scent to breed once a year, females give birth to one baby after a six-month gestation period.

Since the establishment of the Tarsier Foundation in 1996, tarsiers have been protected in this 167-hectare reserve.

Armed with the study results of their behaviour and habitat needs, the slow reversal process is now in effect to protect these living treasures.

What a gift to be able to see these little alien-like creatures in this environment under the guidance of a tarsier expert.

Getting back to Tagbilaran in the late afternoon, we still have

Meet Mikey!

Mikey’s elderly owner was diagnosed with terminal cancer and she wanted to know that Mikey was going to be safe and secure for the rest of Mikey’s life.

Mikey was originally from the Turtle Valley area and he has returned to his home town to live out the rest of his life safe and secure at the Donkey Refuge.

Sometimes, kitchen’s aromas make a home

T

HERE WAS THE HOUSE ON THE FARM IN SCHOENFELD THAT WAS MY FIRST HOME. In a picture, Grandpa Friesen holds me, along with the handset of a black wall phone.

We are next to the kitchen, where grandma is probably cooking verenyky.

Or roll kuchen.

Or hand-cut noodles she’ll later swaddle with cream gravy.

“You know what?

I think grandpa was listening in on the party line that day,” my mother says when I show her the photo.

Ita

lian plum

DARCIE HOSSACK Bon APPÉTIT She laughs and adds: “He shouldn’t have been doing that.”

After the farmhouse, there was the single-wide in the town of Shaunavon.

Then, the house on Swift Current’s Eighth Street, where I lived with my mother and sister and learned to bake blueberry muffins

cake

1/2 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup plus 1 tsp granulated sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup yogurt (I used Activia’s prune yogurt) 2 large eggs 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1 1/2 cups Italian plums, pitted and chopped Cream together butter and sugars. Beat in eggs, one at a time, followed by yogurt.

Whisk flour baking powder and salt together, then beat into wet ingredients, in thirds, until just combined.

Gently fold in chopped prunes (especially gently if they were frozen or jar-preserved).

Butter and flour a loaf pan. Scrape batter into pan. Sprinkle top with one teaspoon of granulated sugar. Bake at 350 F for 60 minutes, until a tester inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Cool on a rack for 30 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely.

from a mix.

And, where I made marshmallow-covered apples after school, without supervision.

I probably shouldn’t have been doing that.

One summer on Eighth, a troupe of ants marched in the back door.

They followed each other in a single line across the walls, from porch into the basement, down the hall and into my sister’s room, where a square of white chocolate fudge had been left unwrapped on a nightstand.

Thirty years or more later, the memory of their chemical conversations still pinches my nose.

After Eighth, when I was eight, there was the th apartment above my m stepfather’s butcher shop sh — a landlord’s apartment that shared ap a hallway with several bachelor units, from ba which the eyes of w single men peered as si I swept and mopped from fr front to back.

Downstairs, pig carcasses dangled from ca the th shop ceiling and I learned about smokle ing in and curing hams and an sawing and slicing meats. m Later, in my father’s house, I learned to be ho vegetarian, with meatve less le meatloaves and gluten washed from gl flour to make protein fl patties that were breadpa ed and fried.

Where, until I became accustomed, I be learned to say: “Please le pass pa the ketchup.”

In Kelowna, our house sat around the corner from a boy who would become Chefhusband.

His grandmother cooked curry and rice and introduced me to a sub-continent of spice.

There was my college apartment, where I spent $25 a month on spaghetti and sauce and washed dishes in a too-low laundry sink that hurt my back.

There was another basement suite, where I stopped cooking and hid while the husband

upstairs beat his wife.

And, then another basement suite — and another and another.

There was the first condo apartment Chefhusband and I bought and no one else had a key.

Where we both became food people.

Where we churned avocado ice cream as forest fires toasted the air.

Where pine ash snowed into our bowls, but the firefighters held the line.

We lived on a

mountainside and cooked everything we could think of.

Then, when it was time to sell, made curries on the balcony, having been advised that all houses should smell of white bread or apple pie.

Today, a plum cake cools on our townhouse’s kitchen island on a rack not 10 feet from my writing desk.

Chances are, we won’t live here forever, either.

But, as I consider whether the cake has

cooled enough to sample, I know I’ll remember the cooking and baking we’ve done here, long after we no longer call this place our home.

WEEKLY CROSSWORD

Let your wild thing party at Pavilion

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Don’t let your children read this story if you’re taking them to see Where the Wild Things Are at Pavilion Theatre this weekend.

We don’t want to spoil the surprise.

We certainly don’t want to let them know they will be the wild things — complete with masks — when they enter the theatre.

And, beware, parents, there will be a wild rumpus at the end before you are all sent home to bed without your supper.

The presentation is what director Kim Selody calls guided-play experience, once designed to connect with the younger set at whom the play is directed.

Selody saw it performed in the Tag Theatre in Scotland and knew it would be a way to bring theatre to children in a way that would retain its magic.

The play allows children to “realize their imagination and still play,” Selody said, guided through the story they all likely know so well by Max. By engaging the audience, he said, they can control the monsters.

What’s scary to a three-year-old, for example, might seem babyish to a seven year old — and vice versa.

This way, each wild-thing audience member creates their own scary moments in their heads.

Questions will still need to be asked, Selody said, as the play continues.

The audience will be asked why

Max behaved the way he did, why he was sent to bed, all ways of deconstructing the story while retaining the young audience’s attention.

Selody has taken the play on tour to Japan twice and found its popularity soared, especially with children who have attention-deficit disorder — and their parents.

“Max is a kid who acts out all the time,” he said, “and then has this experience of letting his wild person out.

“And, we found in Japan the kids were totally engaged by it and sat there and watched it all.”

Although recognized as a child’s tale, the story by Maurice Sendak is filled with metaphors and moments that will resonate with adults, too, Selody said — even in their masked disguise as wild things.

The play, produced in association with the Manitoba Theatre for Young Children, is geared to those ages four to eight.

School matinees continue to Friday, Nov. 2, with another performance on Monday, Nov. 5.

Public performances are Saturday, Nov. 3, and Sunday, Nov. 4, at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Tickets are at the Kamloops Live Box Office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-3745483, kamloopslive.ca.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPE ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, once something is in your head, it is hard to get rid of it. A stubborn nature can be an asset at times, especially when getting ahead in business.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 It’s a love of life that will move you through the next few days, Taurus. Otherwise you can become bored with the mundane responsibilities of day to day.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, once the wheels are in motion, it can be very difficult to turn back. That is why it is best to think things through before you take any action.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it is difficult to get others to hear what you are saying when they refuse to listen.You will just have to be more diligent in your efforts.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, many people will be following your lead this week. Be on your best behavior, so you will be a role model and set a positive example for those who follow.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, try to find a balance between the time you spend with others and the moments you secure for yourself. While not secretive, you do relish in your privacy.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you will quickly become “persona non grata” if you don’t mend your ways. Taking advantage of others will cause them to rescind their generosity.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Personal matters take precedence once again, Capricorn. Just when it seems you can never conquer the challenges that arise, you are met with a welcome surprise.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, bide your time because the stars indicate a changing of times that will move in your favor. This will be an opportunity for wrongs to be righted.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, don’t devote too much attention to recreational activities this week because then it could distract you from work that needs doing.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, when someone chooses to offer advice, listen to that advice even if you don’t agree with it. Things will have a funny way of working out.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Make an effort to spend some time with someone whom you have not seen in awhile, Libra.You won’t regret the decision because soon you will part ways again.

FAITH

The foolishness of being wise in our own eyes

By Jill Ewanyshyn SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

A

LL CREATION POINTS TO THE ONLY ETERNAL, OMNIPOTENT GOD AND PROVIDES MANKIND WITH “PICTURES” OF HIS INVISIBLE ATTRIBUTES. Many choose, however, to be wise in their own eyes by refusing to honour and give thanks to God for His work in making and sustaining creation, never mind His ownership of it.

God has given us his word, the Bible, yet his words — the means through which he created the universe and everything in it — often go unheeded as mankind stubbornly chooses to do as they please, ignorant of, or perhaps unconvinced there will be, consequences for their actions.

How we can even entertain the thought our ways are better than those of our divine creator proves how utterly foolish and proud we are.

In Isaiah 55:6-7, we are urged to “seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near.”

God promises compassion to those who will forsake their ways and put their trust in him alone.

When Christ returns, it will be too late to

make that decision — every knee will bow and every tongue will confess he is Lord.

The question we should ask ourselves now is: When he comes, will we welcome him as our loving saviour or fear him as the ultimate judge?

Godly wisdom is having a proper understanding of God’s ways and words, as well as a desire to obey them.

It’s an ever-increasing knowledge of God’s steadfast love for us, which fuels our growing love for him.

Godly wisdom is seeking to know what God has revealed about himself in scripture and walking in a right relationship with him.

It’s a gift from God, made possible because Christ lived a perfect life, died a sinner’s death and rose from the grave, securing for us eternal fellowship with him.

Worldly wisdom couldn’t be more different.

When it can’t ignore God’s words altogether, it tries to alter them to fit its desires.

Worldly wisdom is like the thirst of a man lost at sea.

The man sees water all around him and it looks good, so he drinks, only to discover he is thirstier than he was before.

His thirst holds him captive; the seawater corrupts his mind but he continues to drink blissfully unaware it will lead to

his own demise.

We chase wealth and power to our own detriment and think our knowledge, abilities and good works are sufficient to buy them but, in the end, they cost us everything and we are left with our mouths wide open as we watch them disappear like water seeping through our cupped hands.

How much better it would be if we trusted God to supply our needs and used our God given talents in the building of his kingdom instead.

We are finite creatures and, sooner or later, we are thrown one too many balls and, unable to juggle them, they fall to the ground and we are left empty-handed, scrambling around trying to reclaim our dignity and whatever else we feel we have lost.

The world doesn’t understand the blessings that come from humbling ourselves before an infinite God and are unwilling to wait for his promised commendations.

Worldly wisdom seeks the gifts, not the giver of the gifts, which is short-sighted.

Ask any fatherless child what they would rather have, gifts sent from afar or the grip of their father’s strong hand as he leads him along, confident that, when he is fatigued, his father is able to carry him and give him rest.

Only our heavenly Father is able to calm

us and quiet our restless souls when we don’t understand what’s happening in our world.

Like children, our cries of, “Why Lord?” are satisfied when we think of his attributes and our limited understanding of who he is and what he has done, is doing and promises to do.

Unlike our physical fathers, he is faithful to his word, his promises are good as done, he is God and nothing throws him off or stands in his way.

Proverbs 3:5 calls us to trust in God with all our hearts and not to lean on our own limited understanding.

The Bible proclaims God’s sovereignty over all his creation and, if we are honest, we have to admit this is only right.

It stands to reason our creator intimately knows his creation and can be trusted to know what is best for it.

To fear God is to know him.

God says this is the beginning of knowledge.

Let’s not act like fools by despising his wisdom and instruction.
