id you know that Kamloops is home to the very first food policy council in Canada? The Kamloops Food Policy Council (KFPC) provides guidance and implements actions to improve food security in the Kamloops area.

Established in 1995, the KFPC has emphasized public education on food security issues as well as concrete food system projects. The KFPC acts as an umbrella, providing an opportunity for project and advocacy groups to co-ordinate their work.

The council has fostered food action projects with community members over the last 20 years using the community development approach and provided input to City of Kamloops policy development related to food security and urban agriculture. The KFPC has been involved in programs such as Gardengate, Interior Community Kitchens, Kamloops Foodshare and Kamloops Farmers Markets. Read more about a couple of the current programs the KFPC is involved in: The Kamloops Public Produce Program is part of Community Food Action Program of the KFPC. Public produce gardens act as an educational tool within the community, demonstrating sustainable, organic techniques that promote a healthy environment, as well as diversify urban food supply sources and build resilience to food crisis. In addition to the strong volunteer base the program maintains, master gardeners offer advice and expertise for the program and help maintain the gardens. The first public garden was planted in downtown Kamloops on Victoria Street and in 2012 the City of Kamloops initiated a nongated, organic, edible demonstration garden in McDonald Park and an edible garden in front of City Hall.

The Gleaning Abundance Project (GAP) ensures that healthy food does not go to waste. It is a food security initiative that seeks to preserve and protect local food systems by helping home owners care for and make use of their food crops. Home owners with too much fruit in their trees or vegetables in their garden can contact GAP to share their abundance. Tree scouts and harvest leaders will harvest the food and share with homeowners, volunteers and outreach programs. Join the project and register your garden, tree or small farm at gleaningabundance.com Learn more about the Kamloops Food Policy Council and programs at its website, kamloopsfoodpolicycouncil.com

VERIFIED BEEF PROGRAM

TM

Verified Beef Production

VBP is a national on-farm food safety program for beef producers in Canada.

A farm registered with VBP has demonstrated through an audit that their food safety practices conform to program requirements. This program is based on the world recognized food safety standard known as HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control point) and is designed to help producers prevent, monitor and reduce food safety risks on their beef cattle farms.

ENVIRONMENTAL FARM PLAN

BC E N V I R O N M E N TA L

FA R M P L A N

Environmental farm planning is a voluntary process that producers can use to identify both environmental strengths and any potential risks on their farms. If needed, an action plan is developed to reduce risks. This national program is administered in B.C. through the B.C. Agriculture Council. This logo recognizes that the farm has completed its environmental plan.

Farmers’ Market /LVWLQJV

he Sun Peaks & Region Farmers’ Market returns to Sun Peaks’ main village thoroughfare on Sunday, June 29, from 9:30am to 1:30pm. Every Sunday until to September 7, farmers, artisans and musicians from the local region will congregate in the village to greet Sun Peaks’ residents and guests with the finest seasonal fruits and vegetables, meats, seafood, homemade wares and local music. With over a 60 per cent increase in the average number of vendors last summer, Sun Peaks’ weekly market has become known as one of the best locations in the Thompson region for both vendors and those searching for the best the Sun Peaks region has to offer.

Fresh produce will be a highlight this summer, providing organic and seasonal fruits, vegetables and herbs grown in the nearby Kamloops valley. It’s the perfect opportunity for resident families to bring fresh and healthy produce to the dinner table, while choosing to buy local.

Music will take centre stage this summer, providing the perfect soundtrack for a day exploring Sun Peaks’ alpine village and discovering new exciting flavours and items from the many vendors. Local favourite performers Team Hewitt, Shane Phillips and Margit Bull are a few of the musicians who entertain this summer.

The June 29 and July 27 markets will feature a Master Gardener booth hosted by the Thompson Shuswap Master

Gardeners Chapter. These knowledgeable volunteers will be on hand to answer gardening-related questions from and help promote environmentally responsible gardening practices for a healthy and balanced garden.

Strolling through the market at Sun Peaks is the perfect complement to a weekend getaway at the resort, especially after an action-packed Saturday. Or simply take a short drive on a Sunday morning to see what’s waiting for you there.

From the farm to your plate. Join local chefs and farmers for the annual Farm2Chefs fundraiser on July 27, “a grazing experience to celebrate and support local chefs, food, wine and ale.”

The Farms2Chefs annual fundraiser at SSOL Gardens (formally Sun River Organics) shows off the best of what local farmers and producers have to offer. 15 restaurants and over 10 local wineries and breweries will get together with local farmers to create truly local appetizers. Chefs create tasty one-bite dishes, complemented by the finest beverages from local wineries and breweries. The event will also feature live entertainment from the Cathi Marshall Band.

The money raised goes towards the Farm2Chefs Grant, available to farmers and local food security groups.

Last year the funds helped support a public produce venture and a community kitchen.

Farm2Chefs is a non-profit society with a mission to connect local farms with local restaurants, helping move locally grown food from seed to plate. It’s a member-

Bulk FoodBulk Store Food Store

driven organization comprised mainly of farmers and chefs in the area.

Farm2Chefs was formed in 2010 with a simple mandate of strengthening the link between local food producers and chefs and supporting the local food economy. Today the organization has a strong network of local producers and restaurants. One of the organizations founding chefs, David Tombs of Terra Restaurant said the program allows chefs to work with great local product and for farmers to sell goods directly to restaurants rather than other distribution channels.

“The area that we live in is so rich and there is so much available,” he said.

Since its inception Farm2Chefs has undertaken a number of initiatives. Grow-op (growing opportunities) was intended to link farmers and chefs early in the growing season to allow chefs to communicate to farmers what foods they would be willing to purchase. The collaborative also operates a grants and loans program which provides funds for farmers and chefs for various initiatives.

THIS WEEK

Reprieve sweet music to their ears

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thursday, June 26 may well be remembered as the day the music didn’t die in Kamloops.

Despite initial concerns, the Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music (KISSM) won’t be impacted by the ongoing labour dispute between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association.

The school will continue as planned, running from July 7 to July 25.

“I just received notification from the Kamloops Teachers’ Association, through [president] Jason Karpuk, that KISSM’s operations will not be picketed this summer,” KISSM executive director Kim Mangan told KTW on Thursday.

The venerable program, which will host more than 200 students, will use the Beattie School of the Arts’ John Peterson Campus, the community bandroom and Sagebrush Theatre.

“That direction came from the BCTF and we are extremely relieved to have received this notification,” Mangan said.

“Now, with a strong base of students and the guarantee that the union’s not going to picket, our organization will have a successful summer camp.”

Mangan has been working with Karpuk for more than 10 days, trying to determine if the school would be able to proceed. She said they were having trouble getting a response from the BCTF on whether or not sites would be picketed.

Mangan said Karpuk pressured the BCTF to respond and told his union if he didn’t hear from them by Thursday, he would make the decision himself.

“He really did go to bat for us,” Mangan said of Karpuk, noting KISSM is a neutral third party in the dispute.

“Although I’ve had to play hard ball and been really stressed, in the end I need to say that Jason Karpuk did come through for KISSM.” Karpuk couldn’t be reached for comment before KTW’s press deadline.

With its future certain, KISSM is now looking to add between 25 and 30 more students before its July 7 start date.

It has room for registrants in all but three of its 52 classes.

“I’m very happy, I’m very happy because I work all year to prepare this,” Mangan said.

“So, to have to cancel it a few weeks before it starts — it’s a passion. You don’t want to see your passion destroyed.

“It’s really good news today.”

Registration information is available on the program’s website (kissm.ca).

Mangan can be contacted directly for more information at 250-574-5437 or by email at info@kissm.ca.

Running for city council?

Find 10 friends

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Would-be city councillors will need to find more backers if they want to run in the Nov. 15 civic election.

For the first time, the City of Kamloops will require candidates to have 10 signatories on their nomination papers instead of the two signatures needed in past.

Against a staff recommendation, Kamloops city council has opted to increase the number of names, but has scrapped a plan to ask for $100 deposits from candidates.

Coun.

Arjun CIVIC ELECTION Singh said SATURDAY, NOV. 15 he felt the cash requirement could discourage lowerincome candidates.

“It really shouldn’t be if you can get $100. It should be how many people you can talk into signing a piece of paper,” he said.

Coun. Tina Lange felt the new nominator requirements might also discourage some candidates, but said paring down those who don’t want to do the work required to run would be a benefit.

“What I’ve heard from people in the community is that one of the reasons they don’t even bother voting is because there’s so many people running, they can’t possibly learn about all the candidates and so they don’t even vote,” she said.

Chief electoral officer Cindy Kennedy said staff isn’t keen on the plan because verifying extra nominators adds more work, noting requiring more signatures has not proven to deter fringe campaigns in other municipalities.

Video shows drug-related beating

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A video shown in B.C. Supreme Court detailed how a 30-year-old woman beat and humiliated a drug user to collect debts while the woman begged for mercy.

“I’m sorry, Mary, I’m sorry,” Renee Chan pleaded as she was beaten in the video as Mary Dyson punched and kicked her and bound her with duct tape in an incident in February 2012.

The video was shown on Thursday, June 26, during sentencing arguments.

Dyson has pleaded guilty to two counts of assault causing bodily harm, two counts of unlawful confinement, two counts of assault with a weapon and break and enter.

Crown prosecutor Sarah Firestone argued Dyson — caught with videos showing her beating other women, humiliating them and shaving their heads to collect drug debts — should serve four more years in jail.

But, calling her case exceptional, defence lawyer Chris Thompson said

Dyson’s own drug addiction and abusive childhood means she should serve only another six months in prison.

Firestone said Dyson’s spree of intimidation, brutal assaults and humiliation of victims started in February 2102 when she beat a housemate with a baton for allegedly skimming drug money.

Dyson also told a male friend to punch him.

Some of the charges for violence came after Dyson was arrested on drug offences.

After obtaining a search warrant, police found videos on cards in her purse showing the assaults on her victims.

Firestone said the video also showed Dyson shaving Chan’s head and demanding that she call herself a “goof” — a serious and derogatory term in the drug and jail subcultures.

Police also obtained video showing Dyson directing Chan to beat another woman with drug debts.

That included putting helmets on both of them while Chan beat the debtor with a

stick — all of it captured on shaky video.

“Ms. Dyson is the director of the violence,” Firestone said.

The victim was also bound with duct tape and shaved.

Firestone displayed clips from another video showing Dyson, wearing leaded gloves, beating a friend caught shoplifting — accusing her of “bringing heat to the family.”

Dyson also participated in a home invasion with two men in September 2012.

She punched Samantha Schoeler in the face, bound her with tape, forced her to shave her own head and burned her boyfriend, Richie Sam, with an iron.

“The motive for this seemed to be an unpaid drug debt,” Firestone said.

Dyson has already served a two-year federal term for the drug charges.

She spoke for more than a half-hour about her life, including being sexually abused by her father — who was acquitted at trial several years ago — and the drowning death of her twin brother, John, who fell into the South

Thompson River following a police chase in 2008.

Through tears, Dyson told of her descent into crystal meth, heroin and crack addiction, of prostitution and homelessness.

She blamed the drug collection on a brutal system of other enforcers leaning on her.

Thompson, said it was all done at the behest of Mark Salai — someone he accused of running a drug and enforcement ring.

Thompson said Dyson claimed she was once raped by a police officer and that a psychologist took inappropriate photos of her.

He also read part of a letter sent to Dyson in jail by one of her children.

“Tell me about the people you hurt,” it read. “Why did you take drugs?”

Thompson said Dyson was never interested in going to trial on the charges, despite the fact many of her victims would be unlikely to co-operate with the Crown on testimony.

Instead, he said, she wants to face the consequences and is

rehabilitating herself through programs in prison.

Air-quality objectives impact on industry unclear

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops air contains levels of a carcinogenic pollutant above provincial air-quality guidelines, but it’s unclear how much weight B.C.’s PM2.5 objectives carry when it comes to regulating industry.

Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment (KPHE) want Kamloops’ higher concentrations of PM2.5 to factor into environmental decision-making for the Ajax copper and gold mine, which they worry will add more PM2.5 to the city’s airshed.

The doctors’ group and Ministry of Environment have argued whether a three-year increase that saw PM2.5 annual levels rise from about 7.7 micrograms to 8.9 represents a significant worsening of air quality.

Ministry air-quality meteorologist Ralph Adams told KTW he would need to see the trend continue over more years, while Dr. Jill Calder believes three

years of data is enough to draw conclusions.

However, both camps agree the city did exceed provincial guidelines for the pollutant in 2013, when Kamloops air had an annual mean concentration of 8.9 micrograms per cubic metre of PM2.5.

B.C.’s air-quality objectives call for no more than eight micrograms annually, with a non-binding goal of reducing PM2.5 to 6 micrograms annually.

When asked by KTW about the regulatory weight behind its air quality objectives, the Ministry of Environment provided the following statement: “Under the Environmental Management Act, the ministry receives applications and makes decisions on those applications to ensure the environment is protected.

It is inappropriate to speculate.”

The air-quality objectives are non-statutory limits, which means they aren’t legally binding.

Ajax consultant Peter Reid, a senior air-quality specialist with Stantec

Consulting, said when his company models the emissions from the mine, both independently and with all other emissions in the city factored in, the company will compare those numbers to provincial guidelines and to the less strict Canadian standards (10 micrograms annually) and other jurisdictions.

“We’ll create a picture and that picture will show which ones are we below, are there any that we’re above? If we’re above those, where are we above and why are we above?” he said.

That information will also be passed to consultants working on the mine’s human-health and environmental-risk assessment, Reid said, to determine whether the mine is likely to create high concentrations of particulates and other pollutants in populated areas.

“In order for there to be an effect, there has to be a high concentration where there’s a person,” Reid said.

“If the high concentrations occur in a remote area on a corner of the mine site and there’s

nobody there, there’s no effect.”

Reid said he sees brief exposures to high concentrations of particulate as a greater concern than long-term exposures at lower volumes.

“If you get exposed to a whole bunch of PM from a forest fire over two or three days, then a day or so after that, you start to see people getting asthma,” he said.

While both the B.C. Lung Association and the Kamloops Physicians point out there is no completely safe threshold of PM2.5, Reid said the health risk of the pollutants is lessened in lower quantities.

“With increasing dose, there is increasing risk,” he said.

“And how much risk you’re going to bear is a

value judgement.”

A guide for the application of the PM2.5 criteria prepared for the government in 2009, when the objectives were last updated, offers some sense of how they could come into play during a permitting process.

“The director may consider current or future economic growth and the associated cumulative impacts of multiple emission sources in an airshed when determining an applicant’s maximum allowable impact on that airshed,” the report states.

Calder, KPHE’s spokeswoman, said she hopes the B.C. air-quality standards hold weight.

“I think we have some real problems if we set guidelines and do not enforce them,” she said.

Councillors vote to keep $5 Arthur Hatton polling station VE

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Will voters on Schubert Drive make the trek to McArthur Island to vote?

Kamloops councillors don’t think so.

Council has voted to continue using Arthur Hatton elementary as a polling station, though city staff had recommended it for abandonment.

Chief electoral officer Cindy Kennedy told council the city wants to “go where the people are� to improve voter turnout in the Nov. 15 municipal election.

New polling stations are planned for Sahali Mall and the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre, but some voting places from previous elections must be closed to accommodate the city’s limited number of voting machines.

On the chopping block are Stuart Wood elementary, which the city plans to offset with a new voting place at Heritage House, Westsyde elementary, Twin Rivers Education Centre, Heffley Creek

elementary and Marion Schilling elementary.

Arthur Hatton was also set to close, but councillors worried the city would appear to be reducing voting opportunities on the North Shore. “We’ve closed three locations on the North Shore and we’ve given them one new,� Coun.

Nelly Dever said. “On the south side, it’s three for three. They haven’t lost any actual locations.�

Opening an extra polling station will add an additional $5,000 to the cost of the election, the price of staffing the Chestnut Avenue school with the required 10 people.

Coun. Marg Spina said keeping Hatton open will make casting a ballot easier for voters near Overlanders Bridge who don’t have transportation, including seniors and single parents. “Hiking a little kid from Schubert Drive to Mac Park, that’s quite a jaunt,� she said. “You’d almost need to be backpacking.�

But, Spina is concerned about axing Stuart Wood, one of the

SA

DO YOU FEEL LUCKY?

In the unlikely event of a tie vote, candidates must st hope Lady Luck is on theirr side.

Under the Local Government Act, the city would break a tie vote not resolved th through a judicial recount by drawing names from a hat.

Council had the option to add a provision to its elections bylaw whereby a tie would trigger a runoff election, but has opted to stick with random chance.

city’s more popular voting places.

Kennedy said the city has no choice, describing the heritage school as a liability for the city and a challenge for voters with mobility issues. “It’s logistically a nightmare,� she said. “You have to get down the steps, you have to go through the kitchen, you have to bang on the door to let elections officials know there’s someone there

with a wheelchair.�

Kennedy said the city has other plans to improve voter turnout in November, ranging from “I voted� stickers similar to those handed out during the last provincial election to additional options for advanced voting.

In 2011, voter turnout in Kamloops was 29.76 per cent — almost perfectly in line with the provincial average of 29.55 per cent.

Xeriscaping in Kamloops Xeriscape means “water conservation through creative landscaping�.

Landscapes suited to our semi-arid climate conserve water and have an advantage over pest problems. Apply these principles to any garden style and have a healthy, high quality landscape: 1. Planning and design: Group plants according to their water use.

Slope hard surfaces to drain to planted areas. Avoid steep slopes – create terraces instead. Use groundcovers on gentle slopes.

2. Good soils: Organic matter is an excellent soil amendment. It improves moisture holding capacity in sandy soils and helps to loosen clay soils.

3. Appropriate plant selection: Drought tolerant plants thrive here.

There are many beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers with low water needs.

4. Practical turf areas: Replace unused lawns with other plants. Use hard-surfacing for play courts, patios, and walkways.

5. Water wisely: Water deeply, but infrequently to encourage deep rooting and drought-tolerance.

6. Mulch: Apply a layer of organic matter to: protect roots from elements, enrich soil, and control weeds.

7. Proper maintenance: Your landscape will require less maintenance over time.

Visit the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden at McArthur Island or the Harrington Road Booster Station at 790 Harrington Road for inspiration.

Out of the cobwebs falls a cornucopia of questions . . .

E

VERY NOW AND THEN, I have to clear out the cobwebs of the brain with a series of questions that have been building up in my head over the last weeks, months, years, in an attempt to get a fresh start at life.

Yeah, like that’s how life works.

When do you actually get a fresh start without all of our accumulated baggage clogging the world of possibilities?

A motivational speaker would say every time the sun rises and the birds start chirping, it’s a new beginning, a fresh start, an opportunity to rewrite your life story, a . . .

Yeah, yeah, unless you didn’t get a good night’s sleep, and then . . .

Anyway here goes nothing in the stuff-rattling-in-my-brain department.

Most of them are unanswerable, but you’ll soon get the idea: • If a Canadian-based team doesn’t win the Stanley Cup in the foreseeable future, is hockey still our national sport?

Or does it just make the Olympic gold medal in men’s and women’s hockey just that much more sweeter?

Would the Russians trade the recent gold in the World Hockey Championship for Olympic gold in Sochi in a heartbeat, or much, much quicker than that?

• Who decided a new recycling program in B.C. was a priority?

And why? And did they think it would be welcomed with open arms, while lifting a blue box at the

GLENN MITCHELL Guest

SHOT same time, just because they tell us it’s better for us?

And, speaking of recycling, I do my best, but sometimes when I’m cleaning out a 475-ml bottle of salad dressing with 122.75 litres of running water just so I can throw it in the blue box instead of the garbage, I start to wonder if the math adds up in Mother Nature’s favour?

Plus, now that the blue box is situated in our kitchen, instead of in the closet where the blue bag was, but the blue box doesn’t fit, why do I feel like it’s an intrusion into my living space causing even more resentment?

Not to mention an open commentary on our eating and living habits all week? It might have to go outside eventually, eh?

I know some of the resentment against the blue-box system is an aversion to change, especially when we’re unsure of the benefits and it makes things more difficult, not to mention I’m getting older and more stuck in my ways than I like to admit, so maybe I should give it a little time, eh?

Perhaps it’s advisable to keep in mind the roundabout saga here in Vernon as when they were first proposed by former mayor Sean Harvey (who is famous for something else, too) there was much hue and cry about what a bad idea it was and such, yet today few would want to go back to four-way stops.

Am I right?

• Speaking of driving and the environment, what mathematical equation do oil companies use when there’s no market-based reason to raise gas prices before a long weekend? Oh, right, they’re trying to motivate us to drive less and save the Earth? Gee, thanks guys, I think?

• Do you think if we put the BCTF negotiators and the government negotiators in a room and said they couldn’t come out until they had an agreement, we’d get a deal sooner than later? Or do you think it would break down when the two sides couldn’t agree on the lunch menu?

• Even though Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau keeps getting in trouble for saying inappropriate things, can anyone remember anything Prime Minister Stephen Harper has ever said?

And which is worse?

Gee, I don’t know if this a healthy exercise after all – I’m suddenly starting to feel worse about life?

As many observers have noted as the labour dispute between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government drags on — there really are no sides without blame.

However, kudos must be sent to Jason Karpuk, presidents of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association, for using common sense to erase uncertainty faced by a longtime, popular summer music program.

The Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music (KISSM) was prepared to cancel its two-week program if the school it uses — Beattie School of the Arts secondary campus — was to be behind picket lines.

KISSM executive director Kim Mangan said Karpuk worked hard to ensure his union would not hinder the program by lining the sidewalk with pickets.

It is a common-sense approach, considering KISSM has nothing to do with the labour dispute.

As Mangan told KTW, her program is a third party.

Karpuk would be wise to use similar common sense in pressuring the BCTF to adopt a similar mindset with respect to summer school.

BCTF president Jim Iker this week said summer-school sites will be picketed.

He blamed the other side for this, citing bargaining problems.

However, Iker should know such pointless picketing is only hurting those he professes to help via his profession — students.

Come on, Karpuk, pull another rabbit out of your hat and convince Iker and the gang that hurting students’ academic goals is not part of the fight.

MP McLeod should take stand on Northern Gateway Editor: Why is Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod keeping such a low profile following the federal government’s recent decision to conditionally approve construction of the Northern Gateway pipeline?

I would ask her opinion on Enbridge’s less-than-inspiring record of more than 800 oil spills in the last

decade, keeping in mind the proposed pipeline will cross over 600 rivers before reaching Kitimat.

Does McLeod remember the oil spill in Kalamazoo, Mich.?

What are her government’s compensation plans for the fishing and tourism industries after the inevitable oil spills on the West Coast from the more than 200 tankers travelling these waters?

Does McLeod remember the

Exxon Valdez spill?

It would be gratifying to see McLeod take a public stand on the government’s decision in the face of surveys indicating the majority of B.C. residents reject the implementation of the pipeline.

I suspect McLeod ,with an election looming next year, will be take her stand by sitting on the fence.

PM2.5 one of most important polutants Editor: There are a few issues with Christopher Foulds’ column of June 26 (‘Clearing the air up there can be murky proposition’) that should be pointed out.

1. He said “the highest PM2.5 number I can find this month among Environment Canada data is 3.0.”

PM2.5 standards are based on either annual or daily (with achievement based on annual 98th percentile level) numbers, so pulling the highest number or even the average in one month doesn’t really mean anything.

That being said, the highest PM2.5 reading this month at the

Kamloops Federal building was on June 19 at 11 a.m.

It was 44, not 3.

2. He stated, “Is it fair to state with certainty, based on three years of data, that Kamloops’ air quality is deteriorating when only one of those three years measured has shown levels that have exceeded the provincial threshold of eight micrograms per cubic metre?”

You don’t have to exceed a standard to “deteriorate.” You just have to get worse.

Having one year exceeding the provincial threshold is irrelevant.

3. He said “Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy

Environment, a group of doctors opposed to Ajax, used air-quality numbers from 2011, 2012 and 2013 to back its claim — in a four-page information sheet mailed to city homes last week — that the city’s air quality is worsening “ Not only did the PM2.5 readings worsen between 2011 and 2013 (which would have allowed them to say PM2.5 was worsening over the past three years), but the four-page information sheet I got didn’t actually say the air quality was worsening.

4. He said, “To state Kamloops’ air quality is compromised is highly questionable.”

We had an annual

average PM2.5 level of 8.9 last year, when the B.C. standard is eight, and were third-worst in B.C. for PM2.5, according to the State of the Air Report.

Keep in mind that “PM2.5 is one of the most important outdoor air pollutants in B.C. from a human health perspective” and “no safe health thresholds have been identified,” according to this report: (http://www.bcairquality. ca/reports/pdfs/pm25implement-guide.pdf).

Also, the B.C. planning goal is six, which we have exceeded for the past four years.

Dog owners need to control their animals Editor: Walking down the road with my dog the other day, we came across some people outside their yard.

When we got to where they were, their little dog came out of a car barking, put his nose in my dog’s face and attacked, trying several times to bite my dog.

Now, the only thing this dog was going to do to my dog was irritate him.

My dog had 90 pounds on the little dog, but when my pet

was attacked, he tried to grab the little dog.

If he had, that dog would be dead.

I told the guy he should have his dog tied up.

He told me to take a pill and his son said the dog was in the car.

Obviously, the dog wasn’t secure or it wouldn’t have been able to get out.

I think the point they’re missing is their dog could easily have been killed if my dog would have

gotten a hold of it.

Then what?

The dog would have paid the ultimate price for having irresponsible owners.

TALK BACK

Q&A WE ASKED Should the labour dispute between the BCTF and the BCPSEA be sent to binding arbitration?

It’s about safety, not SURVEY RESULTS beauty YES 62% Editor: Re: Tranquille corridor beautification project: I think the parties involved are missing a key issue in this discussion.

That issue is the safety of residents who use that road.

I live in the area and walk to work along Tranquille Road.

There are no sidewalks. I walk within two feet of traffic that includes tanker trucks, semis and buses making their way to the airport.

The speed limit is supposed to be 60 km/h, but I think many of them are going upwards to 80 km/h.

In the winter, there is no snow clearing for pedestrians, so we have to walk in the edge cleared for the street.

When I see beautification of the corridor up by the city public works yard, along the northern edge of Thompson Rivers University, I have to wonder about priorities — beauty or safety.

To me, it’s a nobrainer.

OW WOULD HE PROPOSE? Before he got really sick, Ryan Langley wanted to do it where he’d taken then-neighbour, Alisa, on their first date — on the back of his enduro-bike on single-track trails through huckleberry and salal, past waterfalls and creeks to a epic viewpoint in the Coast Mountain forest.

How would he propose?

This time, Alisa would be on her own trail bike.

They’d ride to the top, where Ryan would pop the question.

Two years ago, muscling the 250-pound dirt bike off berms and launching it from bumps for hours at a time at endurance races was Ryan’s physical

from hospital in White Rock in March, when a doctor told him to say goodbye to friends and family who trooped through the hospital room.

The fanatical dirt biker who fed his passion by working as a retail manager wasn’t ready to say goodbye, however.

After five days of overwhelming pain, of not eating and not drinking, Ryan awoke, said he was hungry and told Alisa he wanted out of the hospital.

challenge — resulting in top-ranking race results despite the fact cancer was growing unseen in his lymphatic system.

By March of this year, the rider’s overwhelming struggle was getting down on one knee to ask Alisa Holsten to marry him.

“He’d known for a long time,” Alisa said.

“But, he was waiting for the perfect time to get better.”

The perfect time became now — soon after Ryan was released

Doctors told him his white blood-cell count was dangerously low and he’d be safer in his room — but, Ryan was done with hospitals.

When he returned home, Ryan completed a physical feat no one thought possible.

“He got down on his own knee and proposed,” Alisa said.

The pair is engaged to be married next weekend, in an outdoor wedding on the acreage of Ryan’s father’s home in Barnhartvale.

The pending wedding came together thanks to unrelated people who thought something good could be done before cancer took a young man’s life and a young couple’s future.

Doctors say medical science cannot help Ryan recover. He has been diagnosed with aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma and under-

perfect time to get better’ went eight months of extensive chemotherapy and radiation.

The cancer was diagnosed in the spring of last year after Ryan was admitted to hospital through the emergency room, but he had suffered symptoms that went unacknowledged and undiagnosed by doctors for months — or even years — earlier.

One month ago, Ryan was able to walk without assistance, but is now confined to bed and a wheelchair in a Vernon hospice, where Alisa lives with him.

The whole July 5 wedding affair — and it’s big, with 150 guests and volunteers coming and going — is being organized by a worker at T-Lane Transportation Logistics & Cranes.

Shelley Raspberry, an office administrator at the company, came up with the idea in response to a “pay it forward” campaign encouraged by another staffer at T-Lane.

Through dirt-bike circles, she heard about the couple and was inspired by the love story.

Shelley knew a struggling Alisa— her life largely devoted to Ryan’s care as his symptoms continue to worsen — had no time or energy to plan a wedding.

So, Shelley got on the phone and sent emails to wedding planners, decorators and suppliers.

Together with fundraisers through friends in the the dirt-biking community, all the money was in place.

Shelley, who has never married, is learning wedding planning on the fly as the days count down to the July 5 nuptials.

Alisa said she gets to pick the “fun stuff” — such as colours and wedding cake.

But, her job is to look after her fiancé and show up on the big day.

Shelley is set to arrive in Kamloops on July 3 to receive a shipment of rental furniture, including Victorian

Ryan and Alisa with a trophy Ryan won in 2012, the last season he was active in dirt-bike racing.

What will become of Stuart Wood?

It won’t be a school much longer, but Stuart Wood will likely live on as a public building.

Mayor Peter Milobar said the city can’t leave the downtown heritage building standing empty when School District 73 moves its students out in 2016.

“It’s too old of a building,” he said. “It would fall into disrepair and be similar to what we saw with the old train station before the Keg went in there, where it was basically ready to get bulldozed over at some point.”

Milobar expects members of council and the public will have ideas about what the school

should become, noting the city will have to figure out which of those will work with the space.

“You’re not going to replace elementary-school kids, obviously, but how do you replace that kind of activity and energy around a building?” he asked.

SD73 decided to close the school, which is city-owned, in part because of accessibility concerns. The building is inaccessible to the physically disabled, with bathrooms located in the basement and a third floor that can’t be used in part because of fire safety concerns.

Milobar pointed out those are also issues for the city — which

chose not to use the school as a voting place for the 2014 election because of accessibility concerns.

“It’s now a brand new house where you walk in and turn the key and everything’s there,” he said.

“So, that’s going to be part of the reality check as we move forward.

Once the school closes, students and staff at Stuart Wood will move to what is currently the Beattie School of the Arts elementary building on McGill Road.

Beattie students will move to Beattie’s secondary school on Ninth Avenue.

Paul Lake crash kills one, sends four to hospital A 27-year-old man died at the scene and four other people were taken to hospital following a single-vehicle accident on Wednesday, June 25, near Paul Lake.

Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Lane Jumaga said speed is believe to be a factor in the crash, which occurred at about 6 p.m. in the 1500-block of Pinantan-Pritchard Road, three kilometres northeast

of the turnoff to Paul Lake.

Jumaga said preliminary investigation shows the westbound vehicle carrying five people, and being driven by a 45-year-old woman cost control through a series of curves and left the road, rolling over.

The investigation into the accident continues, with police and BC Coroners Service involved.

Sun Peaks’ biking trails revamped

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

THE HELL-CLIMB COMETH

P

ATRONS OF Sun Peaks Resort’s mountain-bike trails will see more than a few changes on the hill as the resort opens its season of summer offerings.

The bike park opens for the season today (June 27) at 10 a.m. It is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Sept. 1.

Changes have been made to both the liftaccessed and non liftaccessed trails.

“A lot of our trails have seen a lot of work throughout the spring here,” Sam Egan, marketing manager for Sun Peaks Resort Corporation, told KTW. “We have an entirely new biker-cross course, so that’s one of our lower trails that all the upper trails feed into, and that’s been completely torn out and rebuilt.

“So, that will be a really big change that people will see for opening day tomorrow.”

Sun Peaks will boast nearly 2,500 feet (about 760 metres) of vertical when everything opens, with 38 distinct trails.

All but five trails have opened.

The lift-accessed cross-country trails — Big Rock Ride and the new Altitude alpine trail, both accessed via

It’s a race with a name Dante might be proud of — the Ashcroft Hell Climb.

The Interior Grasslands Cycling Club is hosting the 18-kilometre race that climbs 3,000 feet on Sunday, June 29, with a mass start slated for 10 a.m. in front of the Associated Electrical Services store (101 1st St.) in Ashcroft.

Registration and waiver signing opens at 9:30 a.m.

The entry fee is $15.

Prizes will be awarded to the first male and female to reach the top and they will be handed out at a barbecue lunch which begins at about noon.

Organizers are asking those who know they will be in attendance to post on the 2014 Ashcroft Hell Climb Facebook page.

the Sunburst express chairlift — are among those not yet open.

The closed trails are those on the eastern side of the mountain, which generally takes longer to dry out at the beginning of the season.

Altitude is scheduled to be open later in July, while Big Rock Ride will hopefully be open in the next two weeks, Egan said.

Mount Morrisey’s 40 kilometers of crosscountry trails, which are free of charge as they are not lift-accessed, are open today.

The resort has a large network of crosscountry skiing routes that serve dual purpose

PRE-OWNED SUMMER SAVINGS!

for mountain bikers.

The trails are newly mapped this year, allowing bikers to see which trails are best for riding.

A few new routes have also been added.

On the downhill side, Egan said extensive work has been done in recent weeks in order to prepare for the season, which will include the Canadian National Downhill Championships from July 10 to July 13, along with a B.C. Cup stop.

The mountain expects to play host to about 400 riders for the July events.

The entire downhill

course has been rebuilt, with larger berms added throughout.

The technical section, known as Arm Pump has had berms and drops added to make it more “flowy” and fun to ride, Egan said.

The centre section, known as Holy Rollers no longer features a creek jump and should allow riders to maintain speed after the steep chute at the beginning.

“Our course is known as being quite fast for the series and, realistically, all the updates that have been made are just going to make it even faster,” Egan said.

“It’s certainly on the more advanced side, but it’s not one of the more technical courses on the series.”

Smooth Smoothie, the beginner downhill bike park, has also been worked on and is ready to go for opening day.

With biking becoming more popular each passing year at Sun Peaks, the corporation is expecting it to be a big summer on the trails.

“We do get a lot of feedback that it is a favourite course on the series, anyways, on the circuit,” Egan said. “So, it definitely will be better than it has been the last few years.”

She met her husband in 1946 and they married July 5th, 1947. After their wedding they moved to Vernon for about a year until they moved back to Haney where they stayed and raised all four of their children. In 1974 Clarence and Evelyn moved to the Kamloops area and soon bought their home in Heffley Creek where they have resided ever since.

1950 ~ 2014

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Pat Kreke of Logan Lake, BC, on June 20th, 2014 at 63 years of age. Pat is survived by her loving husband Art, children Trevor (Lori) Kreke of Smithers, BC, and Stacey (Eugene) Kreke of Fort St. John, BC, as well as grandchildren Hannah, Montana, Ryan, Sophia and Evan, and brothers Wayne (Brenda) and Dennis (Ann). Pat is predeceased by her mother Norma Stromquist, and father Riley Stromquist.

Pat was born on November 16th, 1950 in Prince Albert, SK, and was raised and went to school in La Ronge, SK. She met her life-long love, Art, while he was working construction in La Ronge. This is where their children, Trevor and Stacey were born. Art’s work in the mining industry led the family to Logan Lake in 1972, where Pat resided until her passing. In her younger years, Pat enjoyed sports, such as figure skating, curling and baseball; she also loved cooking and entertaining. A devoted mother and grandmother, Pat enjoyed nothing more than spending time with her family snowmobiling, camping and exploring BC, when not at their cabin in the Cariboo. She was taken too early, and will be dearly missed by her family and friends.

The family wishes to extend a special thank you to Dr. Ruth Farren, Dr. Evan Rollheiser, the staff at RIH, and the staff at Kamloops Hospice.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Pat’s name to the Kamloops Hospice would be greatly appreciated.

A Celebration of Pat’s Life will take place at 2:00pm on Saturday, June 28th, 2014, in the Black Bull Pub in Logan Lake, with Chris and Claire Newman officiating.

Rosa was a caring and generous person with a very deep faith. Her gentle nature and welcoming smile endeared her to many in the community and parish. Through all of the health challenges Rosa had in her life, she was a beacon of dignity, courage and grace. She will be missed deeply by all who had the pleasure to know her.

Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 1pm on Monday, June 30, at Sacred Heart Cathedral, with Rev. Fred Weisbeck officiating. The family requests no scented products to be worn.

GARY ALEXANDER CHAPMAN November 30, 1956 - June 21, 2014

plentiful, Gary eagerly entered the workforce. He worked throughout BC, Alberta, the Yukon and Northwest Territories (in the MacKenzie River Delta). He worked at a number of jobs including working on the oil rigs, pipeline construction, fishing/tug boats, sawmills and forest fire sites.

His employment and personal interests were varied and they led him to live in numerous towns, villages and cities. He lived along the Sunshine Coast, Haida Gwaii, the North Thompson, the Cariboo Chilcotin, Northern BC and Vancouver Island. He lived in most communities along the eastern coast of Vancouver Island from

Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

Port Hardy to Victoria. Gary eventually made Victoria his home for over 20 years. There he continued to work in the construction industry doing home renovations.

Gary was a minimalist who found solace in nature. Nothing gave him more pleasure than camping near any body of water, whether it was a lake in the Cariboo, a creek in Clearwater or the Pacific Ocean off the western coast of Vancouver Island. It was so fitting that the Pacific Ocean’s shores were as close to him as the end of his street. Not surprisingly, Gary’s favourite vacation destination was the islands of Hawaii.

As Gary was not interested in passive activities, he found great joy in wildlife photography. His lifelong love of reading remained with him until the end. He devoured books from an early age and read about topics such as history, oceanography, astronomy, archaeology and anthropology to name a few.

Gary was predeceased by his father Alex (2009), cousins Brenda and Michael Payie, all his aunts and uncles with the exception of Uncle Johnny.

He is survived by his loving mother Pat, his sister Debbie (Gerty to him), niece Kayla (Mike) Westie and many cousins.

Words are inadequate to express our heartfelt gratitude to Gary’s long time friend Eleanor. She looked after him during his illness with patience,

Martha was born to John and Helen Marozoff in Wadena, SK. She married Alex Vereschagin of Grand Forks in October 1959. They resided in Grand Forks where they had their 2 daughters, Debbie and Terry. They later moved to Penticton, before moving to Kamloops which became home. Mom’s greatest joys were the closesness of her family, and one of her greatest pleasures was the company of her grandchildren.

Mom loved the outdoors, swimming, gardening, and was proud to teach her girls her gift of crocheting, and loved shopping with her girls. Mom was a strong willed, feisty, witty lady that fought hard for everything she believed in. She never gave up. She will be dearly missed by all her family.

Rosa passed away peacefully on June 22, 2014 at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House in Kamloops, BC. She was 85.

Gary Chapman of Victoria, BC passed away peacefully at home in the arms of his dear friend Eleanor. He was 57 years old. Always in tune with the cosmos, it wasn’t surprising that Gary chose June 21st, the day of the summer solstice to take his final breath. Gary lived his life on his own terms and dealt with his cancer in the same manner.

Gary was born on Nov. 30, 1956 in Murrayville (Langley) BC. He spent his childhood living in Savona, Prince George and Kamloops. Gary attended North Kamloops Elementary, McArthur Park Junior High and NorKam Senior Secondary schools.

Her unwavering loyalty and empathy is simply unmatched. We would also like to thank Gary’s steadfast friend Don. We know how much your long term friendship meant to Gary. Thank you also to our cousin Linda for her companionship.

Suarez banned for bite ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO — Luis Suarez exits the World Cup with one of the longest bans in tournament history and his reputation once again in tatters.

The Uruguay forward, widely regarded as one of the best play-

ers in the world, was banned by FIFA from all football for four months on Thursday, June 26, for biting an Italian opponent in an incident that marred the team’s victory and progression to the second round.

It’s the third time he’s served a suspen-

sion for biting an opponent — after similar incidents at both Ajax in the Dutch league and Liverpool in England — and the second straight World Cup where Suarez exits in disgrace.

The four-month ban will sideline Suarez for the first two months of Liverpool’s season.

He was also suspended for Uruguay’s next nine matches, which extends beyond the four months and rules him out of next year’s Copa America, where his team is the defending champion.

The Uruguayan football federation said it would appeal.

The Round of 16 begins on Saturday, June 28, at 9 a.m. when host country Brazil squares off against Chile.

Canadians advance CANADIAN PRESS

LONDON — Milos Raonic didn’t seem that thrilled about reaching the third round of Wimbledon for the first time in his career.

After all, the No. 8 seed is chasing far loftier goals.

Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., defeated American Jack Sock 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in Wimbledon’s second round on Thursday, June 26.

And, while this is the first time he has progressed this far at the All England Club, he wasn’t about to gush over a third-round appearance.

“It might sound a little bit harsh, but [I don’t have] too much feeling for it,’’ he said.

“I want to do much better than I have to this point and than I have done today.’’

Raonic was later joined in the third round by women’s 13th seed Eugenie Bouchard of Westmount, Que., who defeated Silvia SolerEspinosa of Spain 7-5, 6-1.

While Raonic spoke of improvement, he never looked in trouble against Sock. He had 13 aces, 39 winners and three breaks of serve in the match.

“I found a rhythm.

For me, the most important thing, especially

on grass, is finding that rhythm on second serve return,’’ said Raonic.

Raonic will face Poland’s Lukasz Kubot in the third round. Kubot advanced with a 6-7 (4), 7-6 (4), 6-3, 7-6 (3) win over Serbia’s Dusan Lajovic.

Sock managed to rebound later Thursday when he teamed with Vancouver’s Vasek Pospisil for a 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 men’s first-round doubles win over Dutch duo Robin Haase and Jesse Huta Galung.

Bouchard had a tough start to her match but improved as it went on.

She needed 44 minutes to win the first set but just 22 to claim the second and close out victory with six breaks of serve and 17 winners.

“Even though it was a little close in the first set, I still felt I was very close to playing well, I wasn’t too worried,’’ Bouchard said.

“I knew it would click after a few points or games, however long it took. So I’m happy that it did finally. My shots were a lot freer in the second.

The 2012 junior Wimbledon champion has duplicated her third round from last year’s main draw debut and next plays German Andrea Petkovic.

Art in the Park returns Canada Day

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A

RT IN THE PARK IS back with fairytales, flute-playing, physical comedy, juggling and children’s games — and that’s just the Rivertown Players.

The Kamloops Arts Councilsponsored theatrical trio will emcee the performing-arts stage at this year’s Canada Day festivities in Riverside Park, with a performance of their own at 1:40 p.m. based on clas-

KAMLOOPS

sic fairytale The Fisherman’s Wife.

Taran Waterous said the group will perform family-friendly plays around the city this summer, with Canada Day as their debut.

“We tried to draw from all aspects of art we can expose the children to, so we have classical music in there, we have live music,” he said.

“We have mask work, which is a very important facet of theatre that isn’t always exposed to.”

The performing-arts stage offers performances from 9 a.m., with the final show of the day at 4:40 p.m.

l a n i g i r ODEALER

Back for another year is the KAC’s art exhibition and sale, featuring more than 90 local artists.

This year, art delivery service is available for people who come to Canada Day by bike. Supervised bike parking is also available, courtesy of the MS Society, at the tennis courts.

KAC executive director Kathy Sinclair said the council is launching a new contest for Canada Day via social media.

To enter, take a picture at Canada Day that includes art in some way and Tweet it with the

hashtag #ArtinthePic. The Kamloops Multicultural Society is also hosting its annual Folkfest and international food fair.

Society president Ray Dhaliwal said the group is planning opening ceremonies for 11 a.m. in an attempt to beat any scorching temperatures, with cultural and community performances getting underway at 12:15 p.m.

This year’s food fair runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and features Filipino, Vietnamese and Caribbean foods, to name a few.

The Wings may be golfing but we’re still rocking Hockey!

A classy ending HIS YEAR, the city’s annual Canada Day fireworks display will have a soundtrack.

The Chamber Musicians of Kamloops and the Brandenburg Orchestra will perform live at Riverside Park to conclude local festivities for the national holiday. “It’s about sight and sound,� said Robin Suddaby, chairwoman of the Chamber Musicians of Kamloops. “You can look at the glorious shapes in the sky and hear beautiful music.� “It’s nice to have a touch of classical-music — a classy end.�

The classical music group was invited to play after a successful large-scale performance last Labour Day of George Frederick Handel’s Water Music.

The group will once again draw from Handel’s classical collection for Canada Day — this time performing the appropriate Music for the Royal Fireworks.

The piece was ordered by King George II to accompany a fireworks display nearly three centuries ago and is now commonly

All New Menu • Lunch & Dinner Specials played to accompany fireworks in big cities, Suddaby said.

Drums, trumpets, strings, flutes, oboes, french horns and more will be played in Kamloops by both professional and amateur musicians — all dressed in period costumes.

Expect long vests, ruffled shirts, wigs, britches, white tights and shoes with buckles to represent 18th century attire, and a visit from an actor playing King George II, Suddaby said. “It’s visually quite enchanting,� she noted.

The fireworks expert has a copy of the music and will co-ordinate the musical highs and lows to the appropriate colourful displays, Suddaby said.

The fireworks performance and display both begin at 10:30 p.m., but the concert will begin earlier, at 9 p.m.

Before the fireworks, the musicians will perform Pachelbel’s Canon, Bach’s Brandenburg’s Cocerto No. 3 and selections of

Handel’s Water Music on the grass by the parking lot of Interior Savings Centre, for about 45 minutes.

In order to provide entertainment for the delegation from Kamloops’ sister city Ujii, Japan — who will be in Kamloops for the holiday — the musicians will then move to the green square below Interior Savings Centre for the remainder of the performance, including the fireworks.

Audience members can move or watch the fireworks and listen to the music in the background from the first location.

Limited space will be available for viewing, but Suddaby said the music will be heard throughout the park. “They can certainly be gazing at the fireworks and listening to the music,� she said.

A preview concert without fireworks will be held on Sunday, June 29, at 7 p.m. at McDonald Park, 501 McDonald Ave. Both performances are free.

AY - JUNE 28 THIS SATUSHRD OTGUN START 1:30

Ashby’s double jam Chances are if you have a radio on today, you’ve heard Sean Ashby’s guitar-playing.

As one of North America’s go-to guitarists, Ashby has performed and recorded with Sarah McLachlan, Delerium, Ginger (one of the incarnations of the Grapes Of Wrath) and many more.

Ashby performed on the Lilith Fair Tour three times, the Grammy Awards twice, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno five times, SNL, The Late show with David Letterman three times, as well as other major TV shows.

And, for those who saw the movie I Am Sam, that was Ashby performing BlackBird with McLachlan in the film and on the soundtrack, a performance that surprised the two of them when it became a radio hit, as well.

His guitar-playing has appeared on CDs, with sales in excess of 12-million copies worldwide, and, as a solo artist, he’s released three albums — Brass and Gold, 24 Hours to Daylight and Fantastico — and has toured fulltime for the past six years.

Kamloops gets him

for Music in the Park on Wednesday, July 16.

Ashby said his show is a mix — some original songs, some interest covers, all presented with an emphasis on the fun.

This isn’t his first gig in the city. Ashby said he’s been here many times and will be making a return visit just a few days after his free performance at Riverside Park, with an 8 p.m. show on Monday, July 21, at Pogue Mahone Irish Alehouse, 843 Desmond St. Music in the Park shows start at 7 p.m.

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD

W

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.

Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies.

The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day.

This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.

As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine!

I turned 90 this year.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

What ever happened to city-wide wifi?

K Q?

Q: Do you remember a few years ago when the City of Kamloops was entertaining the idea of having city-wide wifi? Did they spend a whole bunch of public money developing such a network? I wonder what ever happened to it?

— John Noakes

amloops uery

A: The year was 2006, and wireless technology as we know it was just coming into force when the city of Kamloops unveiled a new high-speed wifi network in partnership with On Call Internet Services.

At a cost of $40 a month, clients could purchase city-branded wifi services using On Call’s innovative ISP in a Box software.

The program cost $106,000 to set up, and city of Kamloops staff were confident the program would attract enough customers to break even in short order.

“We had really good plans for this,” said Tony Klancar, the city’s current IT manager.

Alas, it was not to be.

Though the project attracted interest from many other municipalities, and managed to get about 40 clients, On Call was soon embroiled in a legal battle with telecomm giant Telus over a payment dispute.

As the debate, and bankruptcy proceedings for On Call, raged in court, the city found itself unable to touch the equipment On Call had set up to broadcast a municipal wifi signal.

“What happened was, they got caught up in the bankruptcy proceeding and they left all their gear operational, because essentially it got seized and people were not allowed to touch it until they determined what the ownership was,” Klancar said.

“So these things sat their broadcasting for about four years. They were there, but as soon as someone tried to log on to them they would say ‘the service is not available.’”

Eventually, as per the terms of its contract with On Call, the equipment was handed over to the city. But

You supply the questions, we find the answers.

Shuswap winery wins two golds for one red Celista Estate Winery is celebrating a double gold medal for its Inspired Madness red wine from the All Canadian Wine Championships held mid-May in Ontario.

Some 1,304 wines were entered into the annual competition and were judged on a 100point system.

A double gold medal is awarded to the single highest rated wine in a specific category.

Celista Estate Winery, located at 2319

Beguelin Rd. in Celista on the North Shore of Shuswap Lake, won the double gold medal for its red Marechal Foch wine.

Since 1981, the championship has been considered among top wine competitions in the country.

A panel of 14 judges — two from B.C., two from the Maritimes, one from Quebec and nine from Ontario — critiqued the wines for sensory components, varietal character and

structural soundness.

The winery has also won awards from various U.S. and Canadian competitions such as the All Canadian, the New York Finger Lakes competition and the Northwest Summit.

The winery is open daily from 10:30 a.m.to 5:30 p.m. throughout the summer and fall.

Wine tasting is free and visitors can buy a glass of wine to enjoy on the garden patio which provides a panoramic view of Shuswap Lake and the surrounding mountains.

The winery also took home a silver medal for its Gewurztraminer and bronze for Ortega at the competition.

LOCAL VIEWS

E HAVE mentioned several times over the years that medications for mental illness are the most commonly prescribed and biggest money earner of all the pharmaceutical classes.

The good news is that other types of treatment are showing promise.

Many people avoid or do not wish to take medicine for symptoms of mental illness because they are too expensive, they are afraid of the stigma caused by these types of medications showing up on their insurance records, they are concerned about side-effects or interactions with other medications and, sometimes, because these drugs have varied degrees of success.

Unfortunately, some mental illnesses have no other effective choices for controlling symptoms, and medications — with all their limitations — are far better than living with the symptoms un-aided.

Having alternatives to medications is a good thing — choice is a good thing — and

DEVELOPING ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS there have been exciting developments in one depression treatment that we first talked about almost two years ago.

Back then, we talked about experimentation with magnetic fields in the treatment of depression and a new treatment is receiving some close attention as the research progresses.

It is called synchronized “transcranial magnetic stimulation”, or sTMS for short.

Depression is a medical condition that can actually be visually observed on brain scans.

Sometimes showing a patient the difference between their scan with a non-depressed brain scan helps them to understand it is a true medical condition — like looking at a broken

arm on the X-ray.

Twice as many women as men receive treatment for depression, but no one knows if more women actually have depression or if women are more likely than men to report symptoms and do something about it.

Many people, including those diagnosed with depression, feel like they should be able to just stop it or fix it.

We need to help everyone to understand that “just stopping” a mental illness is like “just stopping” pneumonia.

Appropriate and prompt treatment is always the preferred first choice.

So, what is sTMS treatment and how does it treat depression?

Although not yet approved as a treatment by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States, the trials are showing promise.

Each patient’s brain is calibrated and analyzed individu-

ally and then stimulated with low levels of magnetic energy for 30 minutes a day over a few weeks.

Researchers indicate that there is a significant reduction in depression for these patients compared to those treated with a placebo.

Depression affects almost 10 per cent of the population at any given time, and its impact at home or at work can be profound.

Medications for depression have become more effective and helpful over the last decade or so, but it is always comforting to know that chemical treatments are only one choice in the treatment of conditions like depression.

If you have been struggling with low mood, decreased energy or feelings of anxiety, talk to your doctor as you could be enjoying life to its fullest.

A Grand American hike

Jane Cassie, husband Brent and their dog Kalli take in the sunset from Sedona’s Airport Mesa while hiking the Bright Angel Trail in Arizona’s Grand Canyon. Jane Cassie/Travel Writers’ Tales

By Jane Cassie TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES travelwriterstales.com

Y

ou know the saying, what goes up must come down?

When hiking Bright Angel Trail in Arizona’s Grand Canyon, it’s a good one to follow — except in reverse.

The pathway zigzags 1,355 metres downward and spans 12 kilometres from the top of this world-renowned chasm to the Colorado River.

Although getting there may seem like a walk in the park, the uphill trek can be a killer. Literally! About 250 people are rescued from the canyon every year.

“We can stay on this 13 mile-long Rim Trail

and hardly work up a sweat,” I suggest to my husband, Brent. The flat, paved walkway traces the top of this natural wonder from the village area to Hermits Rest and offers panoramas along the way.

“After all the recent hiking we’ve done, we can get to the first rest stop and back,” he coaxes. Although I’m not totally confident my boomer-aged quads will pass this three-mile trek test, he’s probably right.

We had started out this hiking holiday with a bang — Humphreys Peak — the highest summit in the state.

Who would think that Arizona, the place of flat deserts and famous canyons, would be home to a 12,000-

WHERE TO STAY

SOUTH RIM: Go online to grandcanyonlodges.com/Lodging-Overview-411.html or call (303) 297-2757.

FLAGSTAFF: A range of accommodation can be viewed online at flagstaff.com/lodging and lots of RV parks are within the city limits. For the more outdoorsy, try Hart’s Prairie area, just past Snowbowl Road. Although there are no established sites, the camping is free.

SEDONA: Lots of accommodations and price ranges to choose from. Our favourite is the Matterhorn Inn — centrally located, great views and a nice pool.

foot high mountain?

This crowning jewel, a short drive from Flagstaff, rises out of Coconino National Forest in the Kachina Peaks Wilderness area.

Although the easier Aspen Loop would have warmed up my underused hiking legs, we had decided to go for the gusto.

“We’ll take it slow,” Brent had promised when traversing

Snowbowl. As well as luring hikers, when winter arrives, this recreation hub becomes a magnet for powder hounds.

Thirty-two ski trails, five lifts and an average of 20 feet of the white stuff — are you sure we’re in Arizona, Toto?

The farther up this pathway we plodded, the harder it was to believe.

Age-old spruce, stately fir and prickly ponderosa flanked the

way.

I was just about convinced we’d done a Dorothy move, clicked our heels and been transported back to our West Coast homeland when our route became cloaked in snow.

Tricky traverses, sketchy hairpins and 3,000 vertical feet later, we finished this jaunt at the saddle, Arizona’s only alpine tundra region that offers a wide

-pan vista. Another hour or so and we would have seen more: The White Mountains to the east, Desert Mountains to the south and this amazing Grand Canyon to the north. But, once again, we were challenged by the return.

Two hours after making our slippery descent to civilization, we had exchanged Flagstaff’s snowy summit for Sedona’s sundrenched hills. Many of the red rock monoliths that hug up to this popular tourist haunt are coined after their amazing formation — Snoopy Rock, Coffee Pot Rock, Slide Rock.

Over the next few days while traipsing their trails, we can attest — they’re all rock!

Today we’re on the Grand Canyon trailhead. And, in spite of the warnings, every man, woman and child seems to be passing us — teenage girls in flip flops, kids with short legs, seniors who carry canes.

But, after a couple of traverses and glimpsing into this abyss, many turn back. Not us.

Joining the intrepid, we plod on: Through sandstone tunnels, past sheer drop-offs, alongside craggy rock faces.

And at every heartthumping curve and overhang, we’re privy to a collage of colour — vibrant reds, bursts of ochre, deep sea greens.

Mother Nature has put every hue into this work of art.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
