Dentists filling in admirably By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
When Holly Schwieger told Stan Dueck he had to stop, it came as no surprise. Well, Dueck acknowledged, it was perhaps a bit of a shock because Schwieger, the retired dentist who had been working at the New Life Mission two days a week for nine years, had threatened to retire before, only to show up the next day — and the next, and the next — to provide dental services for the most needy in Kamloops. This time, though, the 84-year-old Schwieger was serious and gave the mis-
sion’s executive director a date — May 1. “And, on that day, he officially retired,” Dueck said. Which left the mission with a huge hole to fill. Dueck is a man of faith, but even he had trouble comprehending the many circumstances that then followed to bring three new dentists into the clinic at the mission’s West Victoria Street building. First, on the late April day Schwieger announced his retirement plans, Dueck saw a camera team outside working on a documentary. The team from Masterminds Studios in Kamloops started to chat with Dueck, explaining what they were doing there.
Dueck invited them inside to talk about the upcoming dental problem he would have to grapple with once the man known throughout the city simply as Dr. Holly stopped coming in. The next thing he knew, Dueck was talking to Peter Cameron-Inglis, president and CEO of the videography business, who was offering to do something on the dental program. A video was shot, posted online and Dueck was soon getting resumes from dentists in Ireland, Australia, Boston, Toronto, Quebec — all asking more about the clinic and what was needed. X See FATE A22
On Monday, Aug. 12, about 600 contractors made their way to Highland Valley Copper Mine, just as they do on any other work day. Some were transported by white buses parked in the Valleyview Square parking lot, while others arrived by personal vehicle. All was normal until about 9:30 a.m., when a few temporary employees showed up for work. They weren’t machine operators, ironworkers or even custodians. Their job was not to weld or build. They were detection dogs and their task for the next two days was to seek out anyone on site who had decided to bring drugs or alcohol to work. The dogs went through each construction site, searching buildings, staff lockers and staff themselves. Sources told KTW drugs, including marijuana and cocaine, were found on the premises and suspensions and possible firing took place. Richard Boyce, representative for the Steelworkers Union 7619, said the search was limited to the contractors, noting the construction areas are separated from where direct Teck employees work. Employees of the two contracting companies working for Highland Valley Copper — Fluor and JV Drivers Inc. — were unaware of the planned searches, according to sources with whom KTW spoke. Sources described confusion among employees who were reportedly sent home at the day’s end without explanation. On Tuesday, Aug. 13, the white buses rolled into the work site for another day of work — and workers were again greeted by the dogs. Thus began the second day of searches. As of KTW press time, neither Fluor nor JV Drivers Inc. responded to multiple calls. Jacqui Schneider, senior community-affairs officer with Highland Valley Copper; however, did release a statement after being contacted by KTW: “Safety is a core value at Highland Valley Copper and our focus is on ensuring a safe working environment for all employees and contractors. “As part of their routine safety program, a contractor on a project at HVC recently conducted a search for breaches of their drug policy by X See HVC A7 their employees.

Former city woman killed in Calgary By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
HE FEDERAL government has a link on its website few people likely ever want
to check.
It’s the one for the government’s National Centre for Missing Persons and Unidentified Remains and it makes it clear on its home page that the 123 children and 528 adults listed there — some with photos, each with the year they were born, the date they went missing and from where they disappeared — is just a sampling of the reality. There is no information listed for Edna Bette-Jean Masters, perhaps because the 21-month-old has been gone since July 3, 1960 — 53 years ago. However, her file has again been pulled for review, to determine if investigative techniques and equipment that didn’t exist a half-century ago can help solve the mystery.
Edna was last seen playing in the Red Lake area north of Kamloops, with family and friends nearby. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said cold cases like Edna’s are regularly brought back for review — for fresh eyes to take another look and to see if there’s anything that might not have been chased down before. It often happens around anniversary dates because that makes it a more immediate media draw. Bush sent out a press release earlier this week reviewing the few details. It includes what the toddler was wearing when she vanished — a green bonnet with white fill, an undershirt, a pink shortsleeve T-shirt, faded pink overalls, white socks and sandals. It describes the child — blonde, fine curly hair, blue eyes, a fair complexion and just 24 pounds. It notes she had a small oval burn scar on her left arm between her elbow and her shoulder. It talks about how the area was searched by police, volunteers, dogs and

pilots in airplanes. The yard where she last played was searched, as were all the nearby forests, ponds and roads. A rust-coloured 1959 Chevrolet with “cat-eye” or “bat-wing” tail lights and Alberta plates is mentioned. Police would like to talk to the then-young couple seen driving it. Bush acknowledged it’s never easy to solve what has seemed for so many years to be unsolvable — but that doesn’t stop police from trying. It’s why Mounties are hoping that perhaps someone’s memory might be jogged by the media flurry the release has created. As the release notes at its end: “Investigators are hoping that by bringing this file out into the light, someone may recall some information that can assist investigators and provide some answers to Bette-Jean’s family. “Anyone with information about this case, no matter how seemingly insignificant, is asked to call Kamloops Rural RCMP at 250-314-1800.”
A Calgary man is facing a manslaughter charge in connection to the death on Monday, Aug. 12, of a former Kamloops woman who had been living in the southern Alberta city. Kristoffer del Campo, 30, was charged after police responded to a call in the Parkill/Stanley Park area of Calgary, where they found Lacey Yvonne Manion pinned under the wheels of a black 2013 Chevrolet Camaro. Emergency crews used a hydraulic jack to lift the car, but paramedics declared her dead at the scene. Police said del Campo and Manion had been in the car in a nearby parking lot moments before. Manion got out and began walking away when the Camaro was driven onto the sidewalk, striking her. Police said the car dragged her across two lanes of traffic and a median before coming to a stop. Witnesses came when they heard a man screaming for help. Manion, 33, was a graduate of NorKam secondary and the mother of three children. The youngest of five siblings, she had been living in Calgary for more than a decade. The pair, along with two others, were the subject of 133 charges laid earlier this year by Medicine Hat police after an investigation into credit-card and identity theft. Manion was one of a four people charged in 2011 after Calgary Police retrieved hundreds of objects after executing a search warrant on a house in that city.

Healthy Landscapes, Healthy Living Pest Treatment Options Have a landscape you can feel good about: Preventing pests initially is the best way to maintain plant health. However, pests and plant diseases do exist and sometimes need to be managed. Choose pest control methods that are least hazardous. Try the following strategies: Replace pest-prone plants with pest-resistant varieties. Prune out infestations. Install pest barriers and sticky traps. Wash aphids and spider mites off your plants with a strong stream of water. Try a Btk spray (natural occurring bacteria) for caterpillar pests. Buy ladybugs to control aphids, spider mites, mealybugs and other pests. Try an acetic acid spray for weeds in patios, pathways, and sidewalks. Use corn gluten meal to manage weeds. It is a natural fertilizer that prevents the germination of seeds, however, it does not control existing weeds. Reminder: The Pesticide Use Control By-law 26-2 is in effect. Certain pesticides may only be applied by an Approved Applicator. For a list of all the products that residents MAY use, visit kamloops.ca/ipm or pick up a brochure from City Hall.

Members of the Kamloops Aboriginal Friendship Society drum group perform at a First Nations court dedication ceremony on Monday, Aug 12. Andrea Klassen/KTW
‘Their success is our success’

First Nations Court dedication held in Kamloops the main level — “and you probably wouldn’t be able to see me at all.” The Ckucwentn (Kamloops) First Nations Court is the third of its kind in B.C., following similar programs in the Lower Mainland. It started its monthly sittings in March. The court only deals with First Nations people willing to plead guilty before a group that includes a judge, elders, victims and family members and agree to a healing plan. Tk’emlups Indian Band (TIB) Coun. Jeanette Jules, who sat with Crabtree and TIB Chief Shane Gottfriedson, said the court was created to address the over-representation of First Nations people in jails and prisons. “Incarceration is something

It’s unusual to hear a hearty “yee-haw!” in Courtroom 2D at the Kamloops Law Courts. And, although there was a judge sitting at the front of the room and lawyers, sheriffs and police situated throughout it, the cheer from a member of a drumming group was welcomed as members of the legal community — and the community at large — took part in the dedication of the city’s First Nations court. Judge Thomas Crabtree, chief judge of the Provincial Court of B.C., presided and apologized for sitting up in the traditional judges’ chair, explaining that, had they followed the usual setup of the court, they would all be sitting around a table on

that, in some cases, is what is needed but, in others, the healing plan is best,” she told the group. Crabtree noted the court is based in law, but engages the wider community “in a holistic and restorative way” to help the accused take back control of their life and be accountable for their actions. Members of the Kamloops Aboriginal Friendship Society drumming group performed three traditional songs and many of the people involved in creating the court talked about its value. Judge Stella Frame, who presides over the court, noted accused must not just plead guilty, but “have to participate in their own rehabilitation. “Their success is our success.”

When members of the city’s council remuneration task force first met two weeks ago, all seven agreed they don’t want to repeat history. “One of our main intents is to be able to put this together and present the information to city council in such a way that it will be in their best interest to accept it,� said Brant Hasanen, chairman of the seven-member task force. “In other words, that this is the community that has spoken, this is the research that we did, we’re comfortable that it’s accurate and this is what we would like to see.� It could be a difficult task. The last time the city asked a committee to look at setting its wage, in 2002, councillors rejected its call for significant wage increases, choosing instead to take a small cost of living increase each year. Nor was the idea of a new committee universally popular at city hall when it was raised this spring. The idea arose after several motions from Coun. Nancy Bepple to raise council salaries to about $31,000 from $25,000 after the next local election failed to find support. Initially, council also voted against forming a committee but, after multiple rounds of voting, eventually agreed to a compromise motion from Coun. Donovan Cavers that would strike a task force and raise their pay by a couple of percentage points starting in 2014. With the odds not necessarily on their side, Hasanen said the committee is taking a different approach to collecting input from the community in order to deliver its report in late September. To start with, it has forgone the open houses the city typically uses to collect feedback. “We felt that wasn’t a true crosssection of what the community was,� Hasanen said. Instead, members will head to four community events — two on the North

Shore and two on the South Shore — where they will talk to as many people as possible about the issue. “By picking a farmers’ market, Music in the Park and things like that, we’re hoping to get different demographics, different ages and things like that and develop a good cross-section of what the community really is,� he said. The committee is also accepting emailed submissions at taskforce@ kamloops.ca, and written submissions at city hall. For a look at the questions on which the committee would like the community’s thoughts, go online to kamloops. ca/council/remunerationtaskforce.html. Hasanen is hoping at least 200 people will write in or come out to one of the events to make their views heard. Besides public comments, the committee is also looking at tape of council’s debate on the pay raise and a list of mayor and council salaries from other B.C. communities of similar size. That report shows the average B.C. councillors makes about $38,000 a year.

WCT’s costumes, props exposed to myriad ills By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Western Canada Theatre has looked after — and used — the heritage-designated B.C. Sheep Breeders barn on Lorne Street for years, but now must vacate the premises. Blame it on the mice. WCT general manager Lori Marchand said they always knew there were a few of the rodents calling the historical building home, sharing the space with costumes, props and sets from past theatrical productions. An April fire, however, revealed not only the need for a sprinkler system in the old building, but the fact there were deer mice, some of them carrying hantavirus, a rare but serious lung
disease that can infect people who breathe in the viral particles. “The fire, in a lot of ways, was a blessing in disguise,� Marchand said, “and we’re so grateful to the Society of Creative Anachronism, who were in our parking lot [at Pavilion Theatre, across the road from the heritage building] and saw the fire and called 911.� That call saved the building, but sparked a visit from the fire marshal’s office and a list of changes that need to be made. Marchand said WCT had passed every other fire-marshal inspection before the fire, which caused some damage to the building exterior. Barbara Berger, the city’s arts, cultural and heritage manager, said
the lease with WCT gave the theatre free use of the building, with the provision the theatre be responsible for its upkeep. Berger said she, Marchand and WCT artistic director Daryl Cloran have been meeting to find a new storage area, with a couple of locations now being considered. “Once we have completed the cleaning and sorting, a new sprinklerfire suppression system needs to be installed,� Berger said. The goal is to have the contents cleaned, sorted and off-site before the upcoming theatre season. Marchand said WCT has looked after the building’s maintenance since the agreement with
the city was struck. “But, this is no longer a case of maintenance. It’s almost a restoration now.� She praised the city for partnering with WCT, noting the theatre continues to struggle for money and recently started repairs to the roof at Pavilion Theatre, one of several projects being paid for through a $100,000 loan from the city.

HVC not involved in dog search X From A1
“As this is an internal matter for the contractor, I can’t provide any further information,� Schneider’s release stated. Boyce said Wednesday that Teck had been unaware the search was going to take place and was not aware what, if anything, had been found. “If I were the contractors or the union rep, I would be extremely upset,� Boyce said. “It is a real infringement on individual rights.� Boyce firmly believes the dogs will not be searching HVC employees, noting there is a different policy in place. “We have a very good relationship with them,� he said, noting he feels the Steelworks Union 7619 and HVC are on the same page with a zero-tolerance drug policy. “Having dogs sniff through people’s belongings, including what they are wearing at that time, I find that to be a problem, especially without a cause� Boyce said.
“If they were slurring their words and acting belligerent, you take steps to deal with it.� While HVC does not have a drug-testing policy in place, it does have regulations involving drugs on the premises. Boyce said if there is a concern someone is unfit to work, an investigation is undertaken on an individual basis. Boyce said he was contacted by James Leland, union rep for some of the contractors who had concerns. While he could not speak on behalf of Leland, Boyce said he sees various problems with bringing in detection dogs. “It is belittling to the people you have hired to do the job,� Boyce said. However, he also noted the same methods have been welcomed on jobs sites in various places in the northern regions, where drugs have become a problem in the workplace. Leland was unavailable for comment as of KTW’s press time.

Wallin, Duffy et al show it’s time Red Chamber cleaned up
T
HERE’S A LINE ON THE website of the Honourable Pamela Wallin, O.C., S.O.M., in the lengthy biography of the esteemed senator. It says Wallin was a journalist involved in “morning news and current-affairs programs, nightly national radio show As It Happens and the weekly news program Sunday Morning. Involved covering federal politics, election and leadership campaigns and international breaking news.” One might assume from that the woman — who also notes Prime Minister Harper asked that he be “named one of five eminent persons on the special independent panel on Canada’s future role in Afghanistan in 2007-2008” — might have asked some pointed questions of politicians. The website notes the “wideranging career of the journalist, diplomat, entrepreneur and now a Senator has spanned more than 30 years, several continents, but with a focus always on politics and foreign policy.” Which leaves me wondering how Pamela Wallin the reporter might now be covering Pamela Wallin the senator this week. Would she ask how the senator can justify making more than 100 changes to her electronic calendar before providing it to the auditors looking into Senate expenses? Would she ask the senator how she could possibly explain the travel expenses for June 4, 2009, to speak at the Institute of Corporate
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL Directors fellowship awards — given the reality the senator wasn’t there that year? The speaker was actually former politician Brian Tobin. Wallin spoke to the awards dinner the year before. Would she ask the senator how she could possibly explain attending the University of Guelph convocation as Senate business? Would she ask the senator about charging $1,535.35 for another June 2009 trip she made for a dinner and press conference that her electronic calendar indicates she had turned down and which, the audit report said, “her flight scheduled would not have allowed her to attend.” And would she then follow up by asking the senator, even if the expense was legitimate, how attending a function hosted by four Conservative riding associations was Senate business when it is clear to anyone who doesn’t have ohmy-gosh-look-at-me-I’m-important stars in their eyes that it was truly a partisan event? Maybe we can forgive Wallin
for the $121,348 in travel expenses she has been told to repay (she’s already cut a cheque for $38,000 of that amount). After all, the young girl born in a Saskatchewan town that only two years ago reported a population of 1,306 people must have felt like quite the grown-up when the prime minister smiled down on her on Jan. 2, 2009, and asked her and fellow journalist Mike Duffy if they were interested in becoming senators. I can just imagine her excitement. Heck, that kind of spotlight is enough to make a girl forget her humble roots — or her hometown. There are so many opportunities in the audit report for a real reporter to ask some strong questions — and many are and will. There’s her claim for travel to speak at a public event in Saskatoon, even though organizers of the event note in their own records she was already in town and they just adjusted the date and time to fit her schedule. I could go on, but it’s probably best if you download the report yourself and read it. It’s fascinating reading and proof the prime minister, who portrays himself as an economist, who said he had no trouble with Wallin’s expenses — although that was before the audit report was released — needs to clean that Red House now. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com
Actor George Takei has started a petition to have the Sochi Olympic Winter Games moved to Canada, while U.S. President Barack Obama has cancelled a summit with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. While Obama’s reasons for cancelling the summit are many, one of them is Russia’s crackdown on civil rights — namely new laws that almost make homosexuality a crime. John Baird, Canada’s foreign affairs minister, has also denounced Russia’s controversial new anti-gay law as hateful. Kudos to Baird, Takei and Obama for taking a stand. It’s time, however, the International Olympic Committee took a stand. Too often the powers-that-be look the other way when dealing with countries rife with human rights abuses. Or, they rationalize that, in doing business with such countries, the abusers will see the folly of their ways and change. That simply doesn’t happen. When it comes to the Olympics, the IOC is the first to tout itself as a worldwide organization promoting inclusiveness. In fact, the second principle stated in the Olympic Charter reads: “The goal of Olympism is to place sport at the service of the harmonious development of humankind, with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity.” So, what does the IOC have to say about Russia instituting homophobic laws? “The IOC has received assurances from the highest level of government in Russia that the legislation will not affect those attending or taking part in the Games.” In other words, hold your nose and dive right in.

What happens to them after the mine opens? Editor: What a great idea for KGHM Ajax to hire local people with a community background — a former police officer and a former newspaper editor. They can really communicate to the people all about mining and its value. I feel sorry for Yves Lacasse and Robert
Koopmans when the mine is in operation and their usefullness is no longer needed. Oh, well, they can always go to KGHM’s new venture in Siberia. J. Hamonic Kamloops
He has seen the light and noticed the danger Editor: “Bang!” Then “Crash!” Those were the sounds coming from the laundry room in the basement of our house. Upon investigation, I discovered a compact fluorescent light bulb had blown completely out of the receptacle and smashed into many fragments on the floor. The broken bits even landed
in the laundry items, to which my wife had been attending a minute earlier. In view of this, I immediately removed the few compact fluorescent light bulbs in our house and will not be using any in the future as they are dangerous. I also contacted BC Hyrdro’s PowerSmart department, which has been promoting these types of bulbs in the past few years, to
report the danger that exists in using them. As well, I contacted the B.C. Safety Authority in person. Staff there expressed concern and said there is a history of such breakages revealed online. See for yourself — use Google to search “compact fluorescent light bulb recalls.” Gary Dustin Kamloops
Editor: I want to draw readers’ attention to the suffering of those living with cancer. Strong emotions and feelings are generated in our hearts to help people living with cancer when we see it devastating their lives. The Canadian Cancer Society is an organization fighting for life and trying to establish dominance over its ruthless opponent — a killer disease named cancer. The organization’s mission is to eradicate cancer by eliminating its fear, finding its cure, promoting healthyliving strategies and providing compassionate support. Let us all join the Canadian Cancer Society by helping it achieve its mission of improving life and serving humanity. Let us all join the society in the fight against cancer. Let us serve the purpose of being human and quench the thirst of our compassionate emotions, which are agitated by seeing people living with cancer. On Sunday, Sept. 8, the Canadian Cancer Society is organizing “Rock for a Cure” at Riverside Park — a light and fun-filled event at which to rock out to a full day of entertainment from the area’s best rock bands.

Affordable-housing project breaks ground Welcome! By Dale Bass
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Twice a day, Dawn Hrycun drives past the vacant lot at 275 Columbia St. and, for years, she’s had the same thought. “I look at it and I think, ‘Oh, God, we could be doing something better with it,’” said the CEO of the John Howard Society. Now, after five years of planning, revisions and some controversy, she’ll have to find something else to think about on her daily drives. On Monday, Aug. 12, the society held a groundbreaking ceremony at the site, kicking off about eight months of construction on a 15-unit townhome project. The two- and three-bedroom affordable rentals will each run about 1,150 square feet over two floors and feature two-car garages. “It’s got a stunning view of the city,” Hrycun added. “When people go up to their living rooms, they’ll be above the highway, above the trees with a beautiful view of the city — and where do you get that in the city for $1,150?” Beyond the affordable price tag, the final concept for the project bears little resemblance to the original plans for the site.
BY THE NUMBERS 15: Number of townhouse units in the John Howard Society development. 275: Address on West Columbia Street of the development. 450,000: Amount, in dollars, the society received for the project from the Vancity Community Foundation. 1,150: Square footage of each townhouse unit. 1,150: Coincidentally, the number, in dollars, at which monthly rent will likely be pegged. 2: Number of floors in each townhouse unit.
When the John Howard Society first rolled out its plans in 2008, it hoped to build 44 one-bedroom units of low-income housing with help from BC Housing. While that plan got approv-

al from Kamloops city council, neighbours on Columbia came out in force against the project, citing concerns about the development’s impact on traffic on the street. Hrycun said she thinks the new design will satisfy many of the neighbourhood’s concerns. “A townhouse model meets all of what’s already here and it’s small,” she said. “I think neighbours will actually be very happy with what we’ve revised it to. It’s not going to be bigger and towering over. It’ll look the same and fit right in with the neighbourhood.” The society isn’t drawing on any government funding for the project, either. Instead, Hrycun said, the society relied on good investments and financial management to raise the funds itself, though it did get a $450,000 grant from the private Vancity Community Foundation. “That just put us over, where we were able to lower the rent,” she said. “It didn’t make the building any bigger, but it did reduce our rent.” Once the project is complete, Hrycun said the society hopes demand for the units will show there’s a need for more projects of this kind. “We’re hoping this will be a model we can spread through the city,” she said. 101- 929 LAVAL CRESCENT, KAMLOOPS

New, clearer signs at Stuart Wood elementary are there to remind visitors to the Saturday Kamloops Farmers’ Market where canines can and cannot go. Allen Douglas/KTW
Have some class — keep dogs off yard Pooches are still welcome at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market — but just on the street. Market president Tristan Cavers said the organization is enforcing a Kamloops-Thompson school district regulation banning dogs from the Stuart Wood elementary schoolyard, where artists and artisans also set up shop for the Saturday market.
Cavers said there was a “little, bleached-out no-dogs’ sign on the fence” of the school, so the market has replaced it with larger signs and will ask customers to follow the rules. “Dogs have been an ongoing issue,” Cavers said, adding he has a letter sent to market administrators in 1986 that reminds organizers

about the rules regarding dogs on school property. Cavers said the market can’t ban dogs from the street portion because it is a public area; however, Jon Wilson, the city’s community safety and enforcement manager, said the market could do so by virtue of its right to determine how it runs its event.

LOCAL NEWS
WildSafeBC targets local bands By Cavelle Layes STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com
A new program is aiming to build bridges and close gaps with local First Nations bands. WildSafeBC has had a busy year with the launch of the new branch in its program. The latest addition to the organization is designed to extend existing resources by making them more
assessable to local bands. Josh Gottfriedson of the Tk’emlups Indian Band is this year’s First Nations ambassador and has been travelling to local First Nations communities to listen to their concerns and work at finding viable solutions. “I have been very excited to learn about the wildlife first-hand,” Gottfriedson said. Growing up in a
wildlife hotspot and spending many years hunting and fishing means Gottfriedson is no stranger to animals such as bears, deer, wolves and cougars. It also means he has had to learn ways to keep himself and the animals safe. This is exactly the type of wildlife education he will be sharing with First Nations communities. The WildSafeBC program, once known
as Bear Aware, has expanded to include a variety of animals that are causing concern in communities. The one thing most animals have in common is that they are often led to populated areas by human-created attractants. The message WildSafeBC wants to send is that there are ways in which humans and animals can coexist peacefully. Gottfriedson will
be working to spread this message and to translate all of WildSafeBC’s brochures into the native tongues of area bands. He is travelling throughout the region on a regular basis, visiting as many bands as possible throughout the summer. Program organizers expect there to be concerns unique to these communities and have been looking forward to addressing them.

Munching city goats have moved on to Aberdeen
Now that the goats have finished weeding in Kenna Cartwright Park, theyhave moved on to West Highlands Park in Aberdeen. KTW file photo
Kamloops’ famous weed-eating goats have munched their way through Kenna Cartwright Park and are moving on to another city park — West Highlands, the site of the former Aberdeen Hills Golf Course. The goats, managed by Rocky Ridge Vegetation Control, met the goals in areas targeted for weed control in Kenna Cartwright and are now doing the same in Aberdeen. West Highlands Park will be home to the herd
t
of 200 goats for the next while. During this time, park users are reminded to
keep their dogs on leash. The public is welcome to see the goats at work.

As a BIA, our job is to promote our business areas and work with all levels of government toward positive economic development, beautification projects and future planning.

Our post-agricultural community has transformed itself into a vibrant business and cultural community that continues to grow. By celebrating the strength and diversity of our heritage, we are building a stronger future.

GIFT OF KINDNESS AFTER SHOOTING By Michael Potestio MERRITT HERALD newsroom@merrittherald.com
A
WOMAN WHO WAS the victim of a random act of violence in Kamloops recently received some good fortune as she continues to try to recover. In June, Tanya Watkins, 25, was sitting on the couch of her Brocklehurst rental home with her five-year-old daughter Tristan on her lap, and her husband Cory Sabyan beside them, when a stray bullet from the suite above them came through the floor and blasted into Watkins’ arm, narrowly missing her daughter. In an instant, their lives changed. Watkins suffered broken bones, with fragments throughout her arm, as well as nerve and muscle damage. A metal rod needed to be inserted in her arm. No longer feeling safe in their own home, the family of three moved to Merritt to stay with Watkins’ sister, Misty McKenna, while trying to get back on their feet. After reading about Watkins’ ordeal in the July 9 edition of Kamloops This Week, Kamloops resident Anna Kienzler decided she wanted to help. Kienzler, who doesn’t know Watkins, passed along a cheque for $200 to Kamloops This Week, which was then passed on to the Merritt Herald, which then delivered it to Watkins. Kienzler has lived in Kamloops for 48 years since arriving in Canada from Germany. She has two sons, one in Alberta and the other in the Yukon. Last year, her husband passed away. She said Watkins’ story touched her heart. “I have a family like this, up north, and this little girl . . . somehow it touched my heart and I thought I would like to give something,” Kienzler said. Needless to say, the gift was appreciated. “That was so unbelievably shocking and we were just so grateful at that point,” Watkins said. “We didn’t know that anybody good was left out there. It was, all of a sudden, somebody who doesn’t know us has tried to help us in our situation and it was just amazing. There’s no way we could ever thank them enough for it.” Kienzler said she isn’t looking for any accolades for her good deed. “When I came to Canada, things were not easy for us either, but we always found good people who helped me and you don’t forget that,” she said. “I just wanted to give something back.” Watkins said she gave her sister the money she received from Kienzler as McKenna has been supporting the family. Still, Watkins and her family con-
tinue to face difficulties. Watkins said she has noticed a change in her daughter since the incident. She said Tristan doesn’t seem as happy as she was before, is more defiant with her parents and more withdrawn. Sometimes her daughter will talk about “her broken home and her broken mom,” Watkins said. “It’s very difficult to listen to,” she said with a quiver in her voice. For years, Sabyan and Watkins have relied on minimum-wage jobs to earn a living. A few days prior to the shooting incident, Watkins was hired full-time as a janitor for Gemstone, a Kamloops seniors’ care centre, but that job did not last due to her inability to work after the incident. She said she was supposed to have a CT scan on her arm more than a month ago, but that has yet to take place. She hasn’t yet seen a physiotherapist. Neither Sabyan nor Watkins can work as Sabyan awaits surgery for an unrelated matter. Sabyan said without the help of McKenna, his family would be “out on the street.” McKenna is a single mother of two. Her household and income sustain three adults and three children living under her roof. McKenna operates two of her own businesses in Merritt — dog-grooming and accounting operations — and works at Copper Valley Mechanical. “She’s working three jobs to try to support our family when she shouldn’t have to do that,” Watkins said. Watkins and Sabyan help out where they can with McKenna’s dog-grooming business. Watkins said the work helps her feel normal. The family has been in contact with RCMP Victim Services in Kamloops, which put them in touch with the Ministry of Justice’s Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP) in Vancouver. “My daughter qualified for 12 onehour counseling sessions, I qualified for 24 one-hour counseling sessions and Cory qualified for 18 — and that’s about all that they say we qualify for right now,” Watkins said. Watkins said she was informed by the CVAP that any income support would require more information. RCMP Victim Services in Kamloops said they have advised Watkins to file an appeal with the CVAP, with which they will assist her. Watkins said she would also like to see her daughter receive more counseling sessions. Watkins said neither she nor Sabyan is on Employment Insurance at the moment.

Since being shot in the arm in a Brocklehurst home on June 4, the lives of Tanya Watkins, husband Cory Sabyan and daughter Tristan have been a nightmare. The family was heartened, however, to receive, in the form of $200, a gift of kindness from Kamloops resident Anna Kienzler, who read about the family in KTW. Merritt Herald file photo
MORTGAGE MATTERS Save your home! Don’t sell your home unless you want to! Bills, household expenses and poorly structured mortgages can wreck havoc on the family finances. If this sounds like you, there are options to explore, and you often don’t have to sell your home unless you want to! Bills and high housing costs can sometimes be addressed by looking at three things: 1. Amortization For years, many lenders have been advising clients to choose 20 or 25 year amortizations so the client doesn’t have to pay as much interest over the life of the mortgage. Good idea right? Well, the problem is that sometimes the payments are so high that the client ends up putting emergency expenditures, vacations and other expenses on high interest credit cards. The result is that people end up paying off 3%, 4% and 5% mortgage debt and building up 9%, 19% and 29% credit card debt. The high credit card interest can become unbearable and force the sale of your home. 35 year amortizations are still available! Conditions apply

2. Refinancing In some cases, we can use the equity from your house to payoff credit card bills, car loans, etc. This means we pay off high interest debt with low interest debt. We can’t always change how much money you owe, but we can change how much interest you get charged on it. 3. Cashback Would a cashback mortgage work for you? In this type of mortgage, you receive a lumpsum of 2% or 5% at closing which you can use to reduce bills etc. The extra money can reduce overall household monthly payments or can be used to payoff closing costs or mortgage penalty. The mortgage payments are higher for this type of mortgage. If you are struggling with month to month bills or know someone who is, call me BEFORE you miss a payment. Once you have missed payments reported on your credit bureau, lenders are less likely to approve your mortgage change.* Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today.

Lawyers extend olive branch By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
The province’s trial lawyers have offered an olive branch to the province’s new attorney general, enacting a moratorium on legal-aid action begun late in 2011. Graham Kay, a Kamloops member of the legal-aid action committee with the Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia, said the new minister, Suzanne Anton, was
a Crown prosecutor before entering politics. “She should have a good understanding of the issues,” Kay said, noting Anton has responded and said she will meet with members of the association and the Canadian Bar Association to talk about legal aid. Kay said the system used to receive $100 million annually in provincial support but, in recent years, that amount has been cut to about
$70 million. Among the actions the association implemented were withdrawing services as duty counsels in courthouses and boycotting some cases, including those
involving sexual assault and the many charges that arose from the Vancouver riots when the Canucks lost the 2011 Stanley Cup final. And, while Kay is confident Anton under-
stands the issues, he’s not sure how much that will assist in having legal-aid funding restored. “She’s going to have to work to convince her cabinet colleagues.”

COVER PAGE STORY
Fate smiles on New Life Mission X From A1
As Dueck was shuffling through this unexpected flurry of dental queries — unusual also because Schwieger had been trying for years to find a replacement so he could actually stop working — Bruce Tucker, a dentist in the city about to retire, phoned and offered to do some work in the clinic. Tucker made it clear he wasn’t interested in replacing one full-time job with another one, but would be willing to step in for a few days every week — as long as he only had to deal with teeth, not the paperwork required for each client. Dueck, still reeling from the sudden reaction to what he had expected would be a major challenge to resolve, agreed. Not much later, Dueck received a phone call from Bruce Prokopetz, another dentist with some spare time and looking for another challenge. Prokopetz,, too, was curious about the clinic, Dueck said, “came to see the office and he’s almost entrenched in there now.
Dr. Bruce Prokopetz is among a new crop of dentists who have succeeded Dr. Holly Schwieger at the New Life Mission, where the doctors donate their time in helping Kamloops’ neediest patients. Andrea Klassen/KTW

However, whatever fates were looking out for the mission weren’t finished yet. Dueck said he received a call one Wednesday morning a few weeks ago from the outreach centre staff, advising him a dentist was there waiting for an interview. Knowing he hadn’t scheduled an appointment and dealing with his weekly staff meeting, Dueck said the person waiting might have to sit
there for a while. This wasn’t a problem, came the response. When he arrived, Dueck met Alx Lohachitranot, a young dentist based in Fort St. James who had survived a serious accident that now limits his ability to do some dental procedures and which has forced him to make some work changes. The accident could have been fatal, Dueck said, explaining that, in trying to avoid hitting a
Clinic inspires Community Roots When Peter Cameron-Inglis met Dr. Holly Schwieger and heard his story, he knew it was something that needed a wider audience. “If there was ever a story that had someone passionate about it and a problem to solve, this was it,” said Cameron-Inglis, president and CEO of Mastermind Studios. Those qualities are what his company looks for when choosing stories to record — passion, a problem, Kamloops-boosting and compelling. “His story just tugged at your heartstrings,” Cameron-Inglis said. He met Schwieger just a few weeks before the 84-year-old dentist, who had spent nine years working at the New Life Mission, had announced he really was

moose on his way to Fort St. James, Lohachitranot swerved, left the road and rolled over the embankment. When the vehicle stopped, the young dentist’s cellphone dropped into his lap. He tried to call 911, but it failed. “He tried again a bit later, the call went through, the emergency personnel arrived and that phone has never worked again,” Dueck said.
Realizing he could not return to a full practice, Lohachitranot looked for another way to do dentistry as he continues to heal — and that brought him to the New Life Mission. Dr. Lo, as Dueck refers to him, has been interested in doing dentures and extractions, something that made up a large part of Schwieger’s practice at the mission. “I never did anything. It just happened,” Dueck said. “Mastermind was just there. Alx just showed up. The doctors just showed up.” Now, the plan is to take the clinic from the few days a week Schwieger was working to a five-day operation “and that’s probably doable,” Dueck said.

There’s an altruistic side. We want to have fun and, if possible, make a difference. “We want to raise the stage on what’s being done in Kamloops.” The original video — Community Roots — was shared through social media and almost immediately went viral, Cameron-Inglis said.

A busy summer in mental-health
I
F YOU TURN your back for a minute, you miss something impor-
tant. That is true in both television murder mysteries and in discoveries in mental-health research. Because we like you to hear the news first in Kamloops This Week, here is what others will be talking about in a few weeks:
Cocoa benefits Cocoa is more than a treat; it’s good for your brain and mental health! Do you want to increase blood flow in the brain that leads to more neuron activity? You do if you want a younger brain that is more resistant to Alzheimer’s-like conditions. This month, Women’s Hospital in Boston is saying you should drink cocoa to achieve such results. The hospital’s new study shows thatthe drinking of cocoa improves neuron activity which, in turn, creates better cognitive performance. One of the spin-offs of this research is that scientists are close to finding the biomarkers that predict dementia — which will allow them to start homing in on better treatments and, potentially, a cure.
Not so sweet Stop those sugary treats and drinks! Higher sugar levels in the blood — even if lower than diabetic range — increase the risk of dementia. The University of Washington reported the connection of blood glucose to dementia earlier in the month in the New England Journal of Medicine. So, not having diabetes is not a reason to continue the sweet treats; an elevated level of glucose can harm your brain over time.

Ommmmmmm Meditation is an effective way to stop craving cigarettes. According to the National Academy of Sciences, only two weeks of mindfulnessmeditation training reduces cravings for cigarettes, curbing smoking by up to 60 per cent. Another group, which simply took relaxation training, showed no reduction in smoking or in craving cigarettes. Researchers in Eugene, Ore., and in Amarillo, Tex., did separate studies and came up with very similar results.

BPA link Bisphenol A — otherwise known as BPA — may cause mental illness. BPA was once common in plastic and tin containers and is now linked with several psychological and behavioural disorders if people were exposed to it early in life. The study, published last month in the journal Environmental Research, measured BPA levels in the urine of pregnant women and found higher levels contributed to a greater likelihood of anxiety and depression in boys and to hyperactivity and behavioural issues in girls.
PTSD and youth Teens are at a greater risk of suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry reports that Harvard Medical School has developed effective interventions to target youths who have been victims of interpersonal violence
and those who had pre-existing anxiety or depression. If a youth or teen is witness to or the victim of violence, they would benefit from these interventions to prevent emotional or psychological symptoms in the future.
There it is, some of the breaking mental-health news from the summer, and we hope you share it with the people you care about. After all, having a nice, soothing cocoa beverage is not a hard medicine to tolerate!

The world’s most important hamburger debuts
T
HE MOST IMPORTANT HAMBURGER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAS COOKED (BUT ONLY HALF-EATEN) IN LONDON ON MONDAY. It was grown in a lab, not cut from a cow, and it tasted — well, not quite good enough to fool the experts but, then, they forgot the ketchup, mustard, cheese, onion, bacon, tomato and lettuce. “I miss the fat. There’s a leanness to it,� said food writer Josh Schonwald, “but the general bite feels like a hamburger.� Austrian food critic Hanni Ruetzler agreed: “It’s not that juicy, but the consistency is perfect. This is meat to me. “It’s not falling apart; it’s really something to bite on.� Even in a blind tasting, she added, she would say it was real meat and not a soya copy. Of course she would. It was real meat, grown from a cow’s stem cells just like the flesh of its own body. It tasted lean because the stem cells the experimenters used were only programmed to make muscle tissue, not fat. (They’re working on that.) The real test was whether tens of billions of lab-grown muscle cells could be organized into something with the consistency of proper meat, not mush, and the lab-burger passed that test with flying colours. But, why would
GWYNNE DYER World WATCH anybody want to pass that test? What’s wrong with just eating cows — and sheep and pigs and chickens? Far beyond the objections of vegetarians and animal-rights activists, what’s wrong with eating “natural� meat is there are too many of us eating too much of it and we’re running out of land on which to grow it. “Right now, we are using 70 per cent of all our agricultural capacity to grow meat through livestock,� professor Mark Post, the lead researcher, told The Independent. “You are going to need alternatives. If we don’t do anything, meat will become a luxury food and will become very expensive. “Livestock also contributes a lot to greenhouse gas emissions, moreso than our entire transport system,� explained Post, a medical physiologist at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. “Livestock produces 39 per cent of global methane, five per cent of the CO2 and 40 per cent of the nitrous oxide. “Eventually, we will have an eco-tax on meat.� On meat raised in the

open air, that is. Meat grown in the lab is a potentially inexhaustible resource and it does far less environmental damage. According to an Oxford University study published in 2011, a tonne of “cultured� beef would require 99 per cent less land and between 82 and 96 per cent less water than its “natural� rival, and would produce between 78 and 95 per cent less greenhouse gas. It would also use 45 per cent less energy. These are seriously impressive numbers. If Post’s process can scale up successfully, in 10 or 20 years, we could be producing enough meat for a growing population. Moreover, we would be able to turn most of that 70 per cent of agricultural land back into forest and prairie, or switch it to growing grain for human consumption. “There are basically three things that can happen going forward,� said Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who bankrolled Post’s research. “One is that we can all become vegetarian. I don’t think that’s really likely. “The second is we ignore the issues, and that leads to continued environmental harm.
“The third option is we do something new.� Post’s technique involves extracting stem cells from cow muscle tissue and growing them in vitro for three weeks. The mass of new cells is transferred to smaller dishes where they find themselves between two electrodes — and selforganize into strips of muscle tissue. Then you give the new muscle tissue some exercise to bulk it up by applying small shocks that make it contract. Then it’s hamburger meat, ready to be cooked. Growing an actual steak would be more complex but, in theory, it could be done by getting the strips of muscle tissue to take shape on a biodegradable lattice that includes artificial blood vessels to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the interior of the steak. So, let’s assume you can produce this beef in industrial quantities, complete with fat cells so that it tastes just like the meat from the slaughterhouse. Could you get people to buy it? No problem. Just price it about 20 per cent cheaper than the “real thing.� Those of us who are keeping up with the Joneses will buy the pre-

LOCAL NEWS In successive summers, 10-year-old Christian Beatty has helped collect more than 2,000 pounds of food and more than $1,500 in cash donations for the Kamloops Food Bank. KTW file photo
Christian has drive By Cavelle Layes STAFF REPORTER
reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com
At 10 years old, he is inspiring Kamloops residents and helping communities — and he isn’t planning on stopping any time soon. Christian Beatty has completed his second annual food drive and, while the results are not as robust as in 2012, the Juniper Ridge elementary student is thrilled. “We had to sit him down the night before the weigh-in and explain to him that he might not get as much this year, because last year people were driven
by the fire,” said his mother, Nichole Dill. The drive was organized last summer by Christian after a portion of the Kamloops Food Bank’s supply was destroyed in a blaze. Christian had wanted to double the amount of food collected last year, which brought in a whopping 1,127 pounds of non-perishable items and another $1,100 in cash donations. Christian was so impressed by the generosity of Kamloops residents that he decided he would make the drive an annual event. After their talk, Dill said, Christian was OK with the idea
of not doubling his numbers, as long as he was able to donate something to the food bank. That he did. The food drive, held over the B.C. Day long weekend, brought in a total of 1,047.8 pounds of food and $510 in cash donations. This included $400 worth of food donated by staff at Aberdeen Mall who heard what Christian was doing and wanted to help. Christian plans on hosting the event again next year, but on a different date, his mom said. “He said that he wants to go camping on the long weekend,” Dill said.
Prices in effect from Friday, Aug. 16 to Thursday, Aug. 22, 2013 unless otherwise stated.

Oh Great Spirit ... Oh Great Spirit Whose voice I hear in the wind Whose breath gives life to the world Hear me I come to you as one of your many children I am small and weak I need your strength and your wisdom May I walk in beauty Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset Make my hands respect the things that you have made And my ears sharp to hear your voice Make me wise, So that I may know the things you have taught your children The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock Make me strong, Not to be superior to my brothers But to be able to Àght my greatest enemy — myself Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes So that when life fades, as the fading sunset My spirit will come to you without shame.

Final preparation underway for BC Seniors Games By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
T
HE RIVER City will once again be on display when nearly 4,000 competitors from across the province participate in the BC Seniors Games, which get underway on Tuesday, Aug. 20. “We’re in the finetuning phase right now,” Kamloops Games president Charlie Bruce said. “To have people coming from all over British Columbia representing their zones, of which there are 12, we’re
extremely excited.” Hotels across the Tournament Capital have been booked solid for months, with campsites now open at Thompson Rivers University and the Tournament Capital Ranch to accommodate the trailers, campers and motorhomes of those who could not find a room. With about 1,300 volunteers already signed on to help out, Bruce said the number of people directly involved with the Games will climb to about 5,300, making it the largest multi-sport event
in Kamloops history. The Games committee is still welcoming volunteers and there is a specific need for anyone who has basic first-aid training. Call the Games office at 250-828-3823 to volunteer. “One of the driving forces behind our branding of Tournament Capital of Canada is just that — it’s the volunteers,” Bruce said. “You see it at every multi-sport games. You see it at Ribfest. You see it at Hot Night in the City. We’ll see it next year for the Brier.” It is not yet clear if
Kamloops will usurp Richmond and claim the participant-record mark, with the Lower Mainland city having welcomed more than 3,800 competitors to the 2009 Games. Free transportation will be on offer to those participating in the Kamloops event. “In previous Games, often in big cites, we found out that when the seniors got there, they didn’t like to drive around,” Bruce said. “If you’re a credited participant or credited volunteer, you have free city transportation. “We also have a fleet
of vehicles moving athletes around.” Go online to 2013kamloopsbcseniorsgames.org for a venue list and competition schedule. There is no charge for spectators to attend the opening and closing ceremonies or any of the Games’ 25 events. The opening ceremony will run from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Tournament Capital Centre on Wednesday, Aug. 21, with the closing ceremony slated to get underway at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 24, at the TCC. “The directorates
and their teams are just putting on the finishing touches,” Bruce said. “We certainly encourage the public to come out and watch some impassioned individuals involved in their sports and activities.”

Olynyk using celebrity for betterment of basketball By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
With stars in their eyes and sweat on their brows, young basketball players have been honing their craft all week at the Olynyk Klynyk. Held on the hardcourt at South Kamloops secondary’s JP Gym, the basketball camp is giving River City ballers a chance to learn from their hero, Kelly Olynyk, who was picked 13th overall in this summer’s NBA Draft. “I just wanted to be able to give back to the community,� said Olynyk, selected by the Dallas Mavericks at the June draft and traded immediately to the Boston Celtics. “It’s good to give back to the kids that watched you growing up and watch you now and were inspired by you. “I just want to grow the level of basketball
in this city.� Before Wednesday’s (Aug. 14) session got underway, the sevenfoot behemoth shared a few words, telling campgoers to work hard and fight through tough times because things won’t always go their way. Minutes later, he dribbled two balls beautifully through a set of cones — then clanged an ugly lay-up attempt off the rim, inciting laughter from the kids and ribbing from the other camp instructors, a few of them Olynyk’s former coaches. He laughed it off, practising what he was preaching by staying positive. “Basically, he’s taught me that character means a lot and that your words and your actions turn into your habits,� said Joe Mauro, a Westsyde secondary student. “Him going to

the NBA — it definitely opens up different opportunities. Obviously, he’s a seven-footer and quite big, so he’s got a lot more opportunity, but it definitely opens up possibilities for us.� Olynyk has been busy this summer. He toured across the U.S. to work out with
different NBA teams, came home to the Tournament Capital for the draft, went to Boston for a press conference and was introduced at a Red Sox game in Fenway Park, played a few games in the NBA Summer League in Orlando and spent some time with the national team in Toronto before
heading to New Jersey for the NBA Rookie Transition Program. Then he returned home, playing his part as a celebrity judge at Kamloops Daybreak Rotary Ribfest, which concluded on Sunday, Aug. 10, a day before the Klynyk got underway. Olynyk knows his

we can and we’ll worry about the future when that comes.� It would have been easy for Olynyk to take the week off. Instead, he chose to give back — and who knows what type of effect decisions like that can have on the future of basketball in this country? “I’m pretty excited because Kelly Olynyk’s here,� said Klynyk attendee Meghan Grinberg, who will attend Westsyde secondary in September. “I’ve learned lots about my shot. He’s really encouraging. He’s from a small town like Kamloops. Maybe anyone can do it.�

celebrity is growing and the former Gonzaga University star is learning to deal with media requests and constant recognition. Fielding questions from reporters can be taxing, but mingling with awestruck fans is something the Celtics’ forward seems to enjoy. “It comes with the territory,� Olynyk said. “Any time you can make someone’s day or put a smile on someone’s face, it’s a special feeling. To be able to do that is an awesome ability and it’s part of my nature to do that stuff.� The long-haired basketball star, formerly a South Kamloops Titan, said he plans on offering the Klynyk every summer for the foreseeable future. “I’ll probably bring in some different people and keep progressing but, right now, we’re just focusing on giving these kids the best opportunity

Chinese speedsters back in Kamloops The Chinese shorttrack speed-skating team is training in Kamloops for the fifth year in a row. Spectators can check out the action from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. from Monday to Saturday at McArthur Island Sports and Events Centre until the end of August. The team is gearing up for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, and there are several Chinese skaters — Wang Meng, Fan Kexin, Zhou Yang, Liu Quihong, Li Jianrou, Liang Wenhao, Wu Dajing, Yu Yongjun, Chen Dequan, Han Tianyu and Yu Jiyang — pegged to reach the podium. During his tenure as mayor, Kamloops North-Thompson Liberal MLA Terry Lake and a 22-member delegation visited the Far East in 2008. The delegation brokered the deal that brought the Chinese team to McArthur, home to two speed-skating clubs — the Kamloops Long Blades and the River City Racers.
National feats Four Kamloops Track and Field Club athletes had notable performances at the Legion Youth National Track and Field Championships, which wrapped up in Langley on Sunday, Aug. 11.

SPORTS VIEWS
Green Riders’ running back setting record pace BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW just getting warmed up. The Purdue Boilermaker grad ran roughshod over CFL defences in the Riders’ first five games this year as they went 5-0. Sheets rattled off 712 yards in those five starts, an average of 142 yards per game that extrapolates to 2,500 yards-plus for the season if he’s able to maintain that pace. It’s not a shock to note he was named the CFL’s offensive player of the month for July. Winning is Sheets’ No. 1 goal, he told CFL. ca, but he says he’s well

game total through the first five was 130 yards. Averaging 104 the rest of the way shouldn’t be a problem and it wasn’t against the Calgary Stampeders on Friday, Aug. 9, when he scampered for 133 yards in a losing cause. If the Riders can get back on track and keep rolling as they did in July, their last few games in October may be meaningless, which might tempt coach Corey Chamblin to scale back Sheets’ play-
aware of how his rushing stats stack up each game — and so is his offensive line. “Honestly, I think they have more pride in it,” Sheets told CFL.ca of his front five. Mike Pringle, the CFL’s all-time leading career rusher, holds the single-season mark at 2,065. Sheets would have to average just 104 yards per game the rest of the way to grab the singleseason mark.

HAT WAS quite a season Kory Sheets had in July. If the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ running back can somehow maintain his July pace throughout the 18-game Canadian Football League season, he will obliterate the CFL’s single-season rushing record by about 500 yards. That’s in the sports stratosphere — 92 goals by Wayne Gretzky territory; Barry Bonds’ 76 home runs neighbourhood. Born one day before April Fool’s Day in 1985, the 28-year-old Sheets gave notice last year in his rookie season he knew a few things about hitting holes and slicing off major yardage, totalling 1,277 yards to finish runner-up to Calgary’s Jon Cornish, 180 yards behind. Apparently, he was
ing time to keep him fresh for the playoffs. On the other hand, if an all-time league rushing record is within view, fans in Rider Nation will insist on seeing No. 1 (on the uniform and in Rider fans’ hearts) taking handoffs and hitting the holes.

HE OLD BRICK BUILDING ON THE corner of First Avenue and Seymour Street used to be a place where justice was meted out on a daily basis — a building in which men were sentenced to be hanged by the neck until dead. Starting on Friday, Aug. 16, and lasting for more than a month, it will be a place showcasing something considered by most people — not to mention the Criminal Code of Canada, depending on time and place — to be illegal. Underworld: The Hidden Art of Kamloops is a five-week exhibit of street art — and that includes a lot of graffiti. So edgy and mysterious are the artists featured that most will be in costume at the opening so as to avoid The Man. They’re all going by aliases, also — Kyoti, Kast, Marvin Strange and Beastabrook. One of those four is also an Arnica employee and the show’s organizer. His name is Ben Eastabrook, but good luck figuring out which alias is his. “This show is a show trying to raise the awareness and appreciation of street art in Kamloops,” Eastabrook told KTW.

While it often gets a bad rap, street artist Kyoti said a work like his Underworld piece takes hours of dedication — and that’s saying nothing of theserious investment in paint required to create such a mural. Andrea Klassen/KTW

‘Better safe than sorry’ for Kamloops graffiti artists X From B3
“That usually talks about graffiti, but it’s not solely graffiti.” Eastabrook described street art as an umbrella term encompassing anything creative you might find in a back alley. “In my mind, it includes spray-paint murals in alleys or on sides of trains, but also sculptures and random things you’ll find in the street,” he said. Eastabrook said aliases are being used out of an abundance of caution. “Two of our artists are very active in the graffiti world in Kamloops, so better safe than sorry,” he said. “But, I’m not too worried about being found out.” Underworld runs through Sept. 21 at the Old Courthouse, 7 Seymour St. W. There is no charge for admission and gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. The show will also include two free workshops. The first will be on Aug. 24, discussing how to create large murals. The second is slated for Aug. 31, on the topic of repurposing toys into sculptural works. Eastabrook said the second workshop is geared more toward a younger crowd. For more information on Underworld, go online to arnica.ca.

Put worms to work in your yard On Saturday, Aug. 24, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District is offering the last in a series of free worm-composting workshops, hosted by Mel Anderson, formerly of All Things Organic. The final workshop will be held in Logan Lake. In addition to learning about worm composting, workshop attendees will be eligible for a subsidy for a worm composter, which can be purchased for $35, a significant savings from retail prices. Worm composters will only be available at the workshop. People interested in attending the
free workshop are urged to email amailloux@tnrd.ca or go to tnrd. ca to pre-register and to find out the specific time and location of the Logan Lake event. As well as educating attendees about worm composting, Anderson will answer any questions about composting in general. Composting is a great way for TNRD residents to save on tipping fees and divert waste from landfills, as well as provide nutrient-rich soil for their gardens. It’s estimated that nearly onethird of all household waste is made up of organic waste.

WEEKLY CROSSWORD No, you will not be arrested for keeping TNRD Library books longer than you’re supposed to, but the fine rates are going up for young readers who miss due dates. KTW file photo
Harmonized fines for TNRD library There will be no more special treatment for kids in the Kamloops area who hang on to their library books for longer than they’re supposed to. The Thompson-Nicola Regional District Library System will change its fine-rate structure effective next week to make it a clear 10 cents per day no matter what the bandit borrower’s age. “We feel that this change will be more equitable and more in keeping with how other libraries in B.C. charge for late fees, which is that everyone pays the same,” said Marc Saunders, director of libraries for the TNRD. “Our late fees, which haven’t changed since the early 1970s, ensure that loaned items are brought back promptly so that others may
enjoy them, too.” Until now, the TNRD’s fine structure had been such that deadbeat bibliophiles under 18 years of age were charged five cents a day past due date. The dime-a-day change will take effect on Aug. 19. Even with the change, Saunders said, the TNRD Library System has some of the lowest late fees in B.C. If patrons have outstanding late fees dating back to before Aug. 19, they will be charged at the rate in effect at the time of borrowing. A full schedule of fine rates, loan periods and maximum fines can be found online at tnrdlib.ca/finerate. Saunders encourages anyone with questions about fines to speak with a staff member at their local library.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPE ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 It will take a little effort on your part, Aries, to help someone feel your love. Once you get past the initial hurdle, all things will work out for the best.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Open up your mind to new possibilities, Scorpio.You could just find that the opportunities for you abound and literally the sky is yours for the taking.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Sometimes things just don’t go your way, Taurus. This week you will experience a few hurdles that seem insurmountable. The fact is that you can handle them.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Think of the ways you can help out at home and put that plan into motion, Sagittarius. Not only will it resolve some issues, but also it will feel good doing something positive.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Think twice before you enter into a relationship without weighing the cons, Gemini. There are plenty of positives, but some of the other things may be a disadvantage.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 If you are feeling stressed, Capricorn, look for ways to lighten your workload. Hire people, like a housekeeper, who can help with some of the things you don’t enjoy doing.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 When it seems you have an enormous weight on your shoulders, Cancer, the best thing is to talk about it right away with someone you trust. This will be the case this week.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Look at yourself in the mirror and you’ll find there are plenty of things to be proud of, Leo. Try to regain your self-confidence in the next few days.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 The to-do list may seem never-ending, Aquarius. All it takes is tackling one thing each day for that list to shrink dramatically. And there are always people who are willing to help. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 There is more than meets the eye to you, Pisces. This week you will prove everyone wrong when you tackle something amazing.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if you’re looking for a new romantic relationship you could find that you have plenty of suitors this week. It’s almost as if they are all coming out of the woodwork. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 You had really get a second opinion on the way you are handling your finances, Libra. Credit card usage could put you in a bunch of trouble if you are not careful.

EYE ON COMMUNITY
Welcome to KTW’s Eye On Community page, where we showcase, through the camera lens, positive events in Kamloops. If you have a photo of a charity donation, a grand-opening picture or other uplifting images, email them to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com, with “eye on community” in the subject line.
SURVEY SAYS . . . SUCCESS AT 100!: Ivan Royan (left) and Chris De Haan celebrate the 100th anniversary of Underhill & Underhill at a reception in Kamloops on Friday, Aug. 9. The land-survey company was formed in 1913 by brothers Clare and James Theodore Underhill, the latter of whom climbed Mount Waddington, B.C.’s highest peak, becoming the first person to determine its height — 4,019 metres. Underhill & Underhill has done survey work across B.C., from remote northern areas in the early 20th century to facilities in the early 21st century that would be home to the Olympic Winter Games. If you have visited BC Place Stadium or Science World, you have visited an Underhill & Underhill project. The company maintains its Western origins today with offices in Kamloops, Vancouver and Whitehorse. Its Kamloops office — Underhill Geomatics Ltd. — is located at 153 Seymour St.
BOOB TOUR BONANZA: This year’s sold-out Boob Tour Comedy Show raised $6,448.75, of which $3,500 was donated to the RIH Afternoon Ladies Auxiliary, $1,500 was handed to the Spirit Warriors Dragon Boat team and $1,448.75 gifted to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Pictured from left: Lisa Somogyi, Boob Tour event co-ordinator; Trudy DeLuca (RIH Afternoon Ladies Auxiliary); Laima Brown (Spirit Warriors coach); and Lesley Dalin (Boob Tour event volunteer).
THE PAST IS PRESENT: KTW is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, which prompted former KTW employee Alan Sakaki to drop by with some memorabilia. Sakaki worked in KTW’s mailroom from 1991 to 2001 and brought to the newsroom classic coffee cups and a T-shirt from the 2000 Masters Games.
BANKING ON BANDS’ GENEROSITY: Proceeds from the fourth annual Battle of the Teacher Bands, held in June at the Blue Grotto, totalled $2,310, which was donated to the Kamloops Food Bank. Bands from Valleyview and NorKam secondary schools, Beattie School of the Arts and Marion Schilling elementary competed, raising money and collecting food for a good cause. Pictured: Food bank executive director Bernadette Siracky accepts the cheque from Dianne Bell, teacher and organizer of the event.

Amanda, Call Centre Trainer, Rogers Moncton, NB
It takes a lot to get world-class cellphone service in a country this big. I doubt Americans will bother with cities like mine. I believe communities like the Monctons of Canada should get the same technology as the big cities do. That way, my neighbours can be as productive and as plugged in as people in any other part of the country. It makes me proud. It’s a very Canadian thing. But I hear the government is inviting a giant U.S. cellphone company to Canada. What will this mean for smaller towns in Canada? I’m afraid it’s bad. Will this giant U.S. company virtually ignore small communities like mine and focus on big cities? That’s where all the money is, right? You know, when smaller towns and cities are left behind, it doesn’t just hurt me and my neighbours — it hurts the whole country. All we want is for it to be fair for Canadians. Ottawa should close the loopholes.

A salad for the end of days — the salad days
I
T WAS JUST another apocalyptic Sunday. Captain Kirk had just saved the galaxy. Tom Cruise had become part of the resistance in a world with a broken moon. Colossal inter-dimensional rift monsters had invaded Earth. Future Earth was a slum and all the entitled people lived in orbit. Or Gru had just saved his minions from
DARCIE HOSSACK Bon APPÉTIT nefarious minion-altering intentions. It was the kind of day, when, after coming out of the theatre from a day-off matinee, it was almost surreal to blink into the still high-in-thesky sun and discover the world was, in fact, not coming to an end. Or, probably it wasn’t. Everything seemed OK. Until, at home, I found tucked under the corner of our doormat a slip of paper printed with infinitesimally small type. Peering underneath my glasses for a better view, the torn square of
printer paper turned out to be an extra-odd take of an already strange, if familiar, End Times scenario that’s often dropped off in official, glossy, tri-fold flyers. In this small-type version, the pope, President Barack Obama, Woody Harrelson, crop spraying, fluoride in the water and seeds of death all conspired to bring about events foretold. And that, dear friends, is why it’s so hard to get a screenplay optioned in Hollywood. Letting the paper fall into a crumple at the bottom of a wastepaper basket kept for just this kind of flotsam, I looked up into the now hazy blue sky and thought, “Apocalypse? Maybe. But probably not today.” Certainly not when I have fresh-from-thegarden cylinder beets on my kitchen counter and a last square of aluminium foil in which to roast them. So, within a short while, with beets in the toaster oven, I set out for my evening mosey. It’s a very slow amble that sometimes takes me only to the nearest mailbox and back, and which is part of a slow-but-steady therapy regimen to help me overcome what, recently, has been a skyis-falling kind of didn’tsee-it-coming injury. The kind of downin-your-core agony that’s given me a keener
understanding of certain facts — such as, if the Apocalypse does come, I am not going to last the first day. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful summer evening and the sidewalk was populated by elderly folks walking hand-in-hand. Gentlemen whistled cheerful melodies and each couple led a mop-bodied dog who Swiffered the sidewalks as they went Above, two mourning doves cooed on a telephone wire. Swallows swooped, plucking insects out of the air. In a tree over the fence, a cacophony of songbirds sent up a collective alarm that the neighbourhood’s big brown cat, that plods but never pounces, was out
for his prowl. Back inside, the smell of roasting beets had already filled the house with aromas to make a hungry person forget the world might suddenly come to an end. Although, later, before rubbing the beets out of their skins, I stepped out onto the balcony and looked up. One more time. Just to check for aliens.

The need to be loved is there for each of us

HILIP SAID, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.” — John 14:8-11 On a beautiful spring morning this year, I was out in our front yard doing some raking. I watched as two pairs of people walked up to the front doors of the houses along our street. Within a few minutes, two of them, both young women, approached our house. Our eyes met as I looked up at them and I said to them: “So, you have come to talk to me about God.” “Yes,” they replied, and one started to reach
JOHN NOAKES You Gotta Have FAITH into the bag she was carrying. I said to them, “I’d like to ask you a couple of questions.” They smiled and waited. I asked if either of them was a parent yet and they said they were not. I asked if they hoped to get married and raise a family and they both replied they hoped to. I then said: “Consider that we were here and you had your youngsters with you and we were standing on the boulevard talking
as we are now. “Imagine that a car had turned into the cul-de-sac and was approaching where we are standing. “Without warning, one of your children decided to dart out onto the road in front of the approaching car. “Would you send me to save your child from being hit by the car or would you, as a parent, rush out instead to save your own child?” Without hesitation, both answered they would go to save their own child. I then asked: “Do you not think that God, our Heavenly Father, would come and save us Himself? “If He truly loves us and cares for us, do you not think that He would do that?” Neither answered right away. They looked at each other, perhaps for sup-

port or perhaps because no one had ever asked them to consider that before. Have you considered that before? It may be very difficult to accept that we are loved by anyone, especially if your own parents did not show love to you when you
were growing up. Your need for love was still there. As adults, the need to be loved is still very much there for each one of us. Yes, we may wonder all we want why “bad things happen,” why there is loss of life in acts of crime or why
