More trouble for breast-implant fraudster TIM PETRUK

A Kamloops woman who pleaded guilty earlier this year to defrauding an elderly man to pay for breast implants and a tummy tuck has received another jail sentence — this time for stealing precious stones from a Sahali store.

RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said emergency crews were called to the restaurant at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue just before 5 a.m. yesterday.

“Fire crews were able to quickly extinguish the fire and it was determined that an accelerant had been tossed through a bro-

Bush said investigators are trying to track down a suspect. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Pizza King was expected to have re-opened yesterday afternoon after someone tried to torch the downtown restaurant yesterday.

Weekly Traffic Update

ProPASS - A less expensive, hassle free way for you to ride the bus For only $44 a month, ProPASS offers you unlimited travel on the city bus. That saves you $108 a year when compared to buying twelve monthly bus passes!

Not only do you save money every month, ProPASS is a permanent bus pass so you don’t have to remember to buy a bus pass every month or have change or bus tickets on hand.

Up to two additional adult family members living in the same household as you can also sign up for ProPASS and take advantage of the discounted rate.

ProPASS is purchased through regular payroll deduction administered by your employer.

Employers will find ProPASS as easy to administer as a payroll deduction to the United Way. And, with more employees taking the bus instead of driving to work, employers may even find that more valuable parking spaces are freed up for their customers.

Behind bars for assaulting mom TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Beating up his mother has cost a 27-year-old Kamloops man four months of freedom.

Jaycee Folden pleaded guilty to a string of charges, including assault and obstructing police, in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday.

Court heard he became involved in an argument with his mother in her Kamloops home on Jan. 29.

Crown prosecutor Chris Balison said Folden punched her twice in the arm, knocking her down, before delivering three more blows to her arm and back.

“He told her she was lucky she was his mother, otherwise he would have hit her in the head,” Balison said.

Two months later, Folden was arrested after giving a fake name to police investigating a report of a fight in North Kamloops.

He also ran away from officers, but was located a short time

Folden has been in custody since March 27. “I just want to change my ways in the

past, move forward and make better decisions,” he said.

Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison sentenced Folden to 120 days in jail for the assault and another 74 days for additional charges of obstruction, breach and failing to appear in court.

Folden was also placed on a one-year probation term with an 1370-B order barring him from DALHOUSIE having DRIVE any contact with his mother with • BIGGERexcept • BETTER MORE PROGRAMS the •consent of his probation officer.

‘THIS IS A WORLD-CLASS FACILITY’ CHRISTOPHER FOULDS KTW EDITOR editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

On April 1, 1998, Josie and Bill Prokop were the first to enter the downtown Laker City Casino on its opening day.

Seventeen years later, the Kamloops couple led the way, being the first customers to step into Lake City’s successor — the $40-million Cascades Casino that has transformed the Versatile area between Aberdeen and Pineview Valley.

The Prokops joined a large crowd of invited guests for a private grandopening function on Wednesday night, an event highlighted by a surprise performance by Colin James.

By the time the doors opened to the public at 8:30 p.m. parking was at a premium and the line of vehicles waiting to enter the casino lot stretched down to the new roundabout at Versatile and Hugh Allan drives.

“This is a great example of what the private sector can do when the government gets out of the way,” Transportation Minister Todd Stone said, noting the project created 200 construction jobs.

“It is absolutely spectacular,” Stone said of the 65,000-square-foot venue.

“This is a world-class facility.”

Tony Santo, CEO of Gateway Casinos and Entertainment, which owns Cascades, noted the scope of the project by pointing out the three restaurants in the casino — Match Eatery and Public House, The Buffet and Atlas Steak and Fish — would not fit into the former location downtown, the 14,000-square-foot space in Hotel 540.

“We are rebranding our company to be an entertainment company, not a gaming company,” Santo said. “We want people to come and have a good meal, gamble or not gamble, it doesn’t matter to us.”

If visitors do wish to gamble, however, the difference between the old Lake City Casino and the new Cascades Casino is like Elko to Las Vegas.

There are 500 slot machines, 18 table games and a three-table upper-level poker room, adjacent to a high-stakes room.

There is also a main stage area for entertainment and open lounge areas throughout.

“The downtown casino was a bit of an eyesore and not what you would expect in a modern casino in the city that serves as the headquarters of BCLC,” Mayor Peter Milobar said.

“I’m not a big gambler by any means, but I am certainly not a saint, and I’ve been to the River Rock, the Villa and Vegas. I would say this is as good as it gets.”

Such an appraisal was echoed by many who lined up outside on opening night.

“It is modern, professional, exciting,” patron Betty Sawchuk said as she watched players play roulette. “It is nice that it doesn’t have that dingy feel.”

BCLC CEO Jim Lightbody recounted a conversation he had with Milobar 18 months ago. He was in Milobar’s city hall office, telling the mayor BCLC wanted to give Kamloops what it needs — a first-class casino. “‘You’re the third CEO to say that, Jim,’” Lightbody recalled Milobar replying. “‘I’ll believe it when I see it.’”

Cascades employs 325 people and features a free shuttle that will take customers to and from the casino, with stops at downtown hotels, at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre in Aberdeen and at Thompson Rivers University on Saturdays.

For more information on the casino, its features and events, go online to cascadescasinokamloops.com.

Muzio’s drive-in theatre dream remains alive JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Landon Muzio isn’t discouraged.

Despite hurdles — no location or funding — he plans to continue his push to open a drivein movie theatre in Kamloops because one thing remains.

“There’s so many people that are interested,” he said.

Muzio, a 36-year-old

Kamloops business owner, created a buzz online with his idea to reopen the shuttered drive-in theatre on Tk’emlups Indian Band land.

He has since learned the former location along the Halston Connector is no longer a viable location, but said there are plenty of other places to consider, such as Valleyview or in Rayleigh, near the Tournament Capital Ranch.

While online com-

ments were largely in favour of the idea, a gofund me account Muzio began to raise funds had garnered only $50 as of yesterday.

“People are so used to the conventional method of business,” Muzio said.

He’s pushing forward, however, because of community interest.

Muzio has changed his Go Fund Me campaign to “Kamloops Needs a Drive-in Theatre”

and has created a public Facebook group for those who would like to take part in what he calls the Kamloops Drive-In Project, which involves raising money and acquiring land, hardware and volunteers.

“I strongly believe that if we all pool our sources together, we can make a joint project that will create endless memories for ourselves and future generations of Kamloops,” Muzio wrote

No-show in court, warrant issued An arrest warrant has been issued for a Kamloops man facing a string of serious charges.

Jonathon Fasciano, 28, was a no-show Wednesday in Kamloops provincial court for his trial on

Stabbing suspects sought Police are still looking for two suspects after a 23-year-old man was stabbed on Aug. 13 at the Seymour Street 7-Eleven convenience store in downtown Kamloops.

RCMP Sgt. Bob Fogarty said the 23-year-old victim is being treated at Royal Inland Hospital.

Fogarty called the injury serious, but not life-threatening.

“The investigation indicates the victim and two suspects knew each other and the stabbing is not connected to the business or employees where it occurred,” Fogarty said in a statement.

RCMP are looking for two men who arrived at the store and left together on foot.

Pair is safe Two missing-persons files are now closed.

Police were searching for 41-year-old Tilley Powder and 16-year-old Suzan Clark, both of whom have been found and are safe.

two counts of assault and charges of uttering threats to kill an animal or bird, unlawful con-

finement and causing unnecessary pain or suffering to an animal.

The charges relate

on the page.

Muzio said he’s had interest from an investor in Abbotsford and is encouraging partnership among several investors.

“They would have a say on employment, operations, stuff like that,” he said.

Muzio is also planning fundraiser events.

Eventually, if momentum continues, he would approach the city for support.

“Onward I shall go,” he said. “We can all talk and share our ideas.”

NORTH SHORE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA ASSOCIATION TO RE-ESTABLISH A LOCAL AREA SERVICE

The North Shore Business Improvement Area Association (NSBIA) has requested Kamloops City Council re-establish a Local Area Service, in accordance with Section 215 of the Community Charter, and designate properties for the purpose of raising funds to enable the Association to conduct business promotion schemes within the NSBIA. The NSBIA includes the area shown boldly outlined:

to two incidents dating back to last year — one in September and the other in November.

NORTH SHORE REVITALIZATION TAX EXEMPTION AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 22-4-9 The Council of the City of Kamloops hereby gives notice of a proposed amendment to the North Shore Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw. It is recognized that promoting revitalization in specified areas of the City is an essential component to the overall economic prosperity of Kamloops and the objectives of this designation are: a)

To strengthen the viability of existing businesses; stimulate and encourage new private investment; encourage higher-density, residential development; improve the image and attractiveness of the tax revitalization area; and better utilize City infrastructure; and

b)

Encourage sustainable development and green building techniques throughout the North Shore; encourage mixed-use development in core areas of the North Shore, defined by Development Permit areas; encourage construction of non-market housing units; and encourage development throughout the whole of the North Shore.

The North Shore Revitalization Tax Exemption Program accomplishes these objectives by granting municipal tax relief for projects, within a specified area of the North Shore that meet the minimum requirements set forth in the development checklist and incentive matrix of the North Shore Neighbourhood Plan, and that foster the principles set out in KAMPLAN: City of Kamloops Official Community Plan. Property owners within the specified area may apply for exemptions from municipal property taxes for new construction or alterations to existing buildings. The process and criteria to qualify for this program are set out in the consolidated City of Kamloops North Shore Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 22-4-2.

The proposed amendment is to add brownfield (or contaminated) sites to the eligibility criteria and to alter the wording in the bylaw to provide clarity and contain language consistent with current best practices.

The amount of the tax exemption shall range between 20% to 100% of the increased assessed value of improvements and the maximum term of exemption that may be provided under the proposed bylaw is ten years.

The designated area of the North Shore Revitalization Tax Exemption is as follows:

It is the intention of the City of Kamloops to re-establish the NSBIA and designate all properties that fall within Property Tax Classes 5 and 6 for the purpose of imposing an annual levy for a period of four years commencing in 2016. The maximum total amount to be raised during the four-year period will not exceed $696,630, and the amount raised annually will not exceed: 2016

2017

2018

2019

$169,019

$172,400

$175,847

$179,364

The amount to be raised in each of the four years will be determined by the imposition of a levy on all taxable lands and improvements within the local area service on the basis of assessed value for general municipal purposes.

Based on 2015 assessed values, a rate of $0.70999 per $1,000 of assessed land and improvement values would be required to raise the sum of $169,019. Any change in assessed values would, of course, vary the amount of the levy.

All funding raised by the imposition of the levy may only be spent by the NSBIA for projects provided for in the Association's annual budget, which must be approved by the members of the Association at its Annual General Meeting prior to submission to City Council for annual approval.

City Council intends to proceed with the establishment of the North Shore Business Improvement Area and designation of a local area service for the purpose of raising the funds UNLESS WITHIN 30 DAYS after the second publication of this notice (August 25, 2015) a majority of the owners, representing at least 50% of the parcels and at least 50% of the assessed value of land and improvements that would be subject to the local service tax, petition City Council not to proceed. Please note that where there are two owners of a property, by legislation they must be considered as one owner only; if there are more than two owners of a property, the majority are required to sign. Where the owner is a corporation, the petition must be signed by the duly authorized signing officers.

Forms to Petition Against

Council will be considering the City of Kamloops North Shore Revitalization Tax Exemption Amendment Bylaw No. 22-4-9 on September 15, 2015, and the public will be given the opportunity to register their opinion on the proposed amendments by: a)

Appearing before City Council on September 15, 2015, at 1:30 pm in Council Chambers at City Hall (7 Victoria Street West); and/or

b)

Making a written submission to City Council for consideration on September 15, 2015, by written correspondence, fax message, or email to the attention of the Legislative Services Division, City of Kamloops, 7 Victoria Street West, Kamloops, BC, V2C 1A2, phone number 250-828-3483, fax number 250-828-3578, email legislate@kamloops.ca. Written, faxed, or emailed submissions must be received by the Legislative Services Division no later than 4:00 pm on September 14, 2015.

VIEWPOINT

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK is a politically independent newspaper, published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. in Kamloops, B.C. V2C 5P6 Ph: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 e-mail: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops This Week is owned by Thompson River Publications Partnership Limited

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: The $40-million Cascades Casino in the former Rona building between Aberdeen and Pineview Valley.

Wednesday’s grand opening revealed a facility that has to be seen to be appreciated.

With three restaurants, a few open lounge areas and plenty of options to gamble, the casino is as nice as any operating in Western Canada.

The bonus? The entire project, and the new roundabout outside, was funded privately.

NOT: The incessant desire by some to deceive the more gullible among us.

Yet again we have warnings of familiar scams — one invoking the Revenue Canada name (despite the fact the agency no longer goes by that moniker) and another that preys on seniors’ fondness for family.

Both scams are intended to pry money from victims.

People! Wake up and be alert. Unsolicited phone calls seeking money are usually bad news.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: Riding the rails in the Tournament Capital.

After a hiatus of more than two years, the beloved heritage steam train, the 2141 Spirit of Kamloops, will begin chugging down the tracks again tomorrow, with departures behind The Keg at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Returning soon will be the Billy Miner Train Robbery program.

We can only hope the popular Ghost and Christmas trains will be ready for boarding in the months to come.

To attack or not to attack?

O

ne political party had senators with noses so deep in the trough that the beaks of the bandits bumped up against criminal charges.

Another political party stole tens of millions from taxpayers while trying to appease Quebec in the years following the referendum on separation.

The third political party is challenging an order to repay almost $3 million in public money its MPs may have spent illegally.

The fourth party has not yet elected enough MPs to take part in its own financial scandal — though, rest assured, if it grows large enough, that party, too, will find itself in the glare of klieg lights, stammering to answer questions about who knew what and when.

And we wonder why voter turnout has plummeted through the generations?

Through the summer, I have asked various people I know (and many I don’t) which candidate and/or party might get their vote.

The clear winning answer is something in this vein: Why bother? They’re all the same.

So, that leaves the decided voters, for whom debates and ads and door-knocking will have no impact, and undecided voters, who prefer to bother and do not believe candidates and parties are all the same.

For the latter, do they vote for the party as a whole, the leader or the local candidate?

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS Does the riding in which the ballot is cast affect their vote?

Does the elimination of the per-vote subsidy alter voting habits?

Thus far, the television advertising campaigns have been illuminating.

There are the ridiculous Conservative spots claiming Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is “just not ready” because being prime minister is not an entrylevel position. Those ads have been joined by spots bemoaning the fact NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair was once a provincial Liberal in Quebec and is a career politician.

Voters may be excused for being confused.

If being prime minister is not an entry-level job, how did Stephen Harper qualify for the position when he became prime minister in 2006?

And, if Mulcair is to be criticized for jumping from the Liberals to the NDP and for being a career politician, can Harper be equally attacked

for jumping from the Liberals (he was a Liberal member in the 1980s) to Reform to the Conservatives and for also being a career politician?

The Liberals have replied with a clever ad, one that shows Trudeau walking toward the camera, Parliament in the background, riffing on the Conservatives’ “not ready” ad by saying he is “not ready” for more Harper governance.

In that ad, and in another recently released spot,Trudeau uses the 30 seconds to tell viewers a bit of what he will do — ask the wealthiest Canadians to pay more tax so the middle class can pay less.

It’s an effective line that sums up succinctly a primary Liberal plank.

One does not need to be a supporter or opponent of Trudeau to know these Liberal ads are more effective than the attack ads employed by the Conservatives and New Democrats.

As the Globe and Mail reported, the Innovative Research Group came to the same conclusion when it showed various political ads to a randomly selected group of 2,000 voters.

My teenaged son saw the Trudeau ad and noted the spot was clear and concise in saying what the Liberals will do — and viewers can love it or leave it.

If even a kid can be moved by an ad with information, not condemnation, maybe axing the attack ads is a winning strategy. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CHRISTIAN’S VIEW ON AJAX IS A ‘NARROW’ ONE Editor: In a story in the Aug. 18 edition of KTW, reporter Andrea Klassen paraphrased Coun.

Ken Christian’s comments regarding the city’s Ajax review as warning “the city . . . to stick to issues that affect it and not try to assume provincial responsibility by taking on concerns outside of its boundaries, such as the fate of Jacko Lake.”

If this statement accurately reflects Christian’s words, his is a narrow point of view and a decidedly pro-Ajax stance.

Everything about the proposed Ajax open-pit mine, whether inside or outside city boundaries, affects Kamloops and its residents, and those in the surrounding area, and should be of concern to the mayor and all of

Kamloops’ city councillors.

Would Christian ignore anything risky happening in his neighbourhood if it is outside his property lines?

Explosives, noise, dust, toxic fine particulate matter and diesel fumes, use and abuse of Jacko, Goose and Inks lakes, a tailings pond poised above the city and Peterson Creek, stockpiles of waste rock, destruction of grasslands and ranch lands and environmental damage are just a few of the factors that must be considered and should be among prime concerns for Christian, along with the rest of council and Kamloops residents.

Tell resident and visiting fishermen and Tourism Kamloops that Jacko Lake is of no concern to the city.

Tell downtown residents not to worry about a potential tailings pond breach and the toxic sludge that would pour down the slope onto their properties.

Tell Knutsford and Aberdeen residents to ignore the dust, noise and vibration from blasting and rock-crushing operations.

Pay no attention to the vast amounts of water to be drawn from Kamloops Lake and the potential impact on migrating fish.

Christian has to broaden his view and area of concern to include all the proposed mine’s effects and risks of operations that are outside city boundaries because they are just too close to Kamloops to ignore.

Trish Keegan Kamloops

THERE WILL BE MORE PROPS TO CITY OF KAMLOOPS DEMANDS FOR NO, THIS TOWN IS NOVAK’S RESIGNATION RUN BY ‘PUPPETS’

Editor: Ray Novak, head of the Prime Minister’s Office, appears to have lied to the RCMP about his knowledge of the $90,000 check to pay for Sen. Mike Duffy’s questionable expenses.

This is the implication of a statement given to the RCMP by UBC professor of law Ben Perrin, the former legal counsel to the PMO. When Perrin confirms his police statement under oath in the Ottawa

courtroom where the Duffy trial is taking place, there will be renewed demands for the resignation of Novak from the PMO. Since Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been publicly defending Novak’s claim of not knowing, the issue will be the credibility of the present Prime Minister of Canada — not just the loss of trust in his judgement.

Derek Cook instructor Thompson Rivers Universiry

Editor: Kudos to Laurie, in the City of Kamloops parks department, as well as the grounds crew, who do an excellent job of maintaining the Aberdeen offleash dog park.

A recent request for gravel to cover a couple of wet and muddy puddles was responded to and addressed promptly.

Those of us who take our canines to the park on a regular basis very much appreciate the job they do.

P. Marr Kamloops

Editor: Do we have city councillors who actually work for the people of Kamloops?

And, do we have those who are puppets for big industry?

Are there those who are truly concerned about our enviroment?

I was born in Kamloops in 1930. l who h I have seen these puppets at workk — people get paid big bucks to work for big industry.

People of Kamloops, get rid of these puppets.

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: COUNCIL’S ABOUT-FACE STUNS KAMLOOPS WINERY OWNER:

“It would have been nice for council to make the right decision here considering how much they have messed up lately.

“Shame on all of you. You sat on your hands for over six weeks on the recycling issue, then come back to overturn something that we as taxpayers want.

Shame on all of you.”

— posted by pacamo “I don’t get why people are so stunned by this.

“The way I read it is grocery stores are still able to sell wine, they just need to follow the same process as a regular liquor store would have to — which is to apply and go through a process, not just get handed a permit from the province.

“Why is this a bad thing?

“Unless I’m interpreting this wrong.”

LOCAL NEWS

Election 2015: What is the future of the CBC? Q: The CBC has suffered drastic budget cuts under the current government. What is your party’s vision for our national broadcaster?

— Ginny Ratsoy Matt Greenwood, Green Party: “I grew up watching and listening to the CBC and what has been done to it over the past decade or two has been a travesty to watch.

“The worst may be yet to come: leaked negotiating documents from the TPP lay the groundwork for the privatization and eventual sale of Crown corporations like the CBC and Canada Post. People may not recall that the CBC was created by the Conservative government of R.B. Bennett in the 1930s, so it’s ironic that it may be the Harper Conservatives who finally kill it.

“The Green platform on the CBC includes providing stable base funding so it can continue to provide quality Canadian content television and radio programming in both official languages to all Canadians; restoring CBC international short-

wave service; and reversing cuts to suppertime news and local programming in CBC and Radio Canada.”

“Canada is arguably one of the most diverse nations in the world and it certainly is one of the largest.

“Our Canadian identity is a mosaic that recognizes and celebrates our diversity, and the CBC acts as an adhesive, bringing it all together.

Creating programming that is untainted by the popularity game or biased editorial decision-making, the CBC serves to inform, entertain and critically hold to account all elements of Canadian society and culture.

“Whether it is through local, regional or national perspectives, Canada is stronger as a result of the awareness that our collective identity is comprised not only of what we share in common, but in the ways

Bill Sundhu, NDP: “The CBC is struggling after years of Liberal and Conservative cuts. The NDP is the only party with a clear commitment to reverse the cuts by cancelling the Conservative’s reckless $115-million cuts and give our public broadcaster some room to breathe — by ensuring stable, predictable, multi-year funding to help protect the CBC and to allow it to fulfill its mandate.

“The Harper Conservatives have seriously harmed our public broadcaster. Today the CBC is struggling to maintain its integrity, its independence and quality programming.

“Muzzling this institution for ideological reasons is unhealthy for our democracy.

Cathy McLeod, Conservative: “I would disagree that the CBC has seen ‘drastic’ budget cuts. In fact, under our government, the CBC has received record funding.

In 2013, it received over $1.1 billion from the federal government, in addition to the funding it was able to raise for itself through advertising revenues. It, like all federal government departments, agencies and Crown corporations, was asked to reduce its budget by five to 10 per cent as part of a deficit-reduction plan in ensuring we successfully returned to balanced budgets.

“Going forward, our government understands the importance

that we vary — and this promotes our core values of inclusion, fairness, and appreciation of diversity.

“The Liberals firmly believe our country is made stronger and more dynamic with a credible public broadcaster that gives audience to even the smallest voice in our society — and we will ensure the CBC is vital in that role.

of the CBC and the role it has played throughout Canada’s history, and knows many Canadians value it highly. However, with changing technology, demographics and audience preferences, the CBC, like all media organizations, must adapt.

“Issues facing the CBC are those faced by media organizations across the country and the globe. We have seen many who have struggled to adapt to changing technologies and, unfortunately have seen layoffs in the industry — and even the loss of a few important organizations.

“We only have to look to the Kamloops Daily News as a local example of the impact of technological changes on the media.

“Regardless of these changes being faced by media around the world, the CBC continues to show it will adapt and expand, as made evident by the introduction of CBC Kamloops in 2012, in order to fulfil its mandate of providing distinctly Canadian content reflecting our cultural values throughout the entire country.”

AT 17, DAVIDSON EXPECTED TO LOG BIG MINUTES ON BLUE LINE MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

D

awson Davidson stormed onto the Kamloops hockey scene last season and the defenceman, now a little older and a little stronger, is primed to have a breakout campaign with the Blazers in 20152016.

“Right now, I have a ton of confidence coming into camp,” said Davidson, who spent much of the summer in Regina working out with strength trainer and nutritionist Rod Flahr.

“I can credit a lot of that to those games I played last year. Now I know what it takes to play in the league and I know that I belong here.”

The struggling Blazers were in desperate need of help on the blue line at Christmas time — with injuries crippling the back end and players away on international duty — when Davidson, then 16, was called into action on Dec. 26.

By Jan. 6, the Moosomin, Sask., product had earned a full-time spot in the lineup, taking ice time away from 17-year-old rearguards Travis Verveda and Cam Reagan.

“Dawson really kind of surprised us,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said. “He really stepped in and showed us he was ready to play in the league.

“Eventually, we made the decision to trade [Josh] Connolly and he took some of his ice time.”

Kamloops shipped 18-year-old D-man Connor Clouston to Moose Jaw on Jan. 6 and announced Davidson would stay in the Tournament Capital.

Now 17, Davidson is a safe bet to garner big minutes and play in key situations on a blue line that will likely be young, with 16-year-old prospects Nolan Kneen and Conner McDonald expected to compete for roster spots.

(KTW will focus on the defence corps in its upcoming five-part season preview, which will begin with Part 1 on Aug. 27.)

“Last year, as a 16-year-old, you have to learn the ropes a bit, so you might get scratched and you have to earn your playing time,” said Davidson, who spent time in the offseason doing maintenance work on his dad’s restaurant businesses.

“This year, I feel that I can go in and make a huge impact from camp on. I gained weight, I’m a bigger guy and I think I can be an impact guy in this league.”

Hay instructed Davidson — a player the Blazers’ bench boss likens to Jon Blum, a former NHLer who Hay coached

with the Vancouver Giants — to get stronger and work on his shot this off-season.

The 5-foot-11 rearguard, listed at 171 pounds when he was called up in December, put on 10 pounds this summer.

“He’s got great hockey IQ, a puck-moving guy that can jump up into the play and be really good for our transition game,” Hay said.

Ryan Rehill, who turns 20 in November, has become the veteran leader on defence for Kamloops. Should he remain with the Blazers as an over-ager, the bruising blue-liner from Edmonton will adopt a mentorship role.

“A big thing for me when I was younger was watching guys in the dressing room and how they were off the ice, in between games or after practice,” Rehill said. “That will be something I’ll try to help him along with, along with the other younger guys.

“He did play very well in the last stretch last season.

Coming in this year, he has his feet wet and should be able to hit the ground running.”

Davidson finished the 2014-2015 WHL season, which he started captaining the midget AAA Moose Jaw Generals, with three goals and nine points in 33 games, and was minus-3.

The statistics were less important than the trust the coaching staff put in him last season. He was on the ice late in games when the Blazers’ playoff hopes were on the line.

“I felt like I belonged last season, but I have a different feeling about this year and I feel I’m ready to be a leader on this team already and I’m confident,” Davidson said.

“It’s weird. I was here only five months ago, but I feel way older. I’m ready.”

Hay separates leaders into two categories — core leaders, who are older veterans, and secondary leaders, 16- to 18-year-old players.

“Within that secondary group, he can find a way to lead and do the right things,” Hay said.

“That will be important for our hockey club.”

Patterson has high expectations for new group ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Storm may not have many returning players but, after last weekend’s training camp, Ed Patterson is feeling good about the roster taking shape.

“We’re going to be young, hungry and deep,” the head coach said.

The Storm hosted more than 60 players for their annual training camp on the weekend and have made some tentative decisions about the roster moving forward.

Patterson is not ready to divulge the details of the group — the club will first wait to see which players make major junior and junior A rosters in the coming weeks.

The coach said a few roster spots will still be open to competition throughout the exhibition season. The Storm hope to name their final group after a Sept.

5 and Sept. 6 road trip to 100 Mile House.

The team is expected to have three returning players — defensive-forward Brett Watkinson, goaltender Jacob Mullen and forward Brayden Dale.

But, after seeing them in competition this weekend, Patterson said what the club lacks in experience it can make up in talent.

“I honestly think we’re going to be bet-

ter than last year, after Christmas,” he said.

How the club will perform before the holiday season is anyone’s guess.

“We’re going to be so young, it depends on how quickly the guys learn before Christmas.”

Kamloops will play its first exhibition game on Aug. 30 at the Revelstoke Forum.

month of the season.

The Storm will play back-to-back games 13 times throughout the season. Another six times the club will play on three consecutive days.

The preponderance of the team’s schedule is slated for Fridays

and Saturdays.

The club will play 19 games on Fridays and 20 games on Saturdays, with just 10 games scheduled for Sundays. Only three times will the Storm play on another weekday this season — a Wednesday game in

November, a Tuesday matchup in January and a Monday contest in February.

Kamloops will never play more than four consecutive home games, a feat that occurs only once in the entirety of the 2015-2016 season.

The Storm will be home from Oct. 24 to Oct. 31 for that trip, with games against the Osoyoos Coyotes, the 100 Mile House Wranglers, the Fernie Ghostriders and that Creston Valley Thunder Cats.

The season’s longest

road trip will be five games, from Nov. 13 to Nov. 21, with games against Kimberley, Fernie, Creston, Chase and Revelstoke.

The club’s last game before the Christmas break will be played on Dec. 19, at home to the Kelowna Chiefs.

Season set

The Kamloops Storm will open their regular season on Sept.

11, on the road to face the Golden Rockets.

The Storm then come back to Kamloops to open the home half of their schedule against the Revelstoke Grizzlies on Sept. 18.

Kamloops will play back-to-back games that weekend, facing off against the defending KIJHL champion Kimberley Dynamiters on Sept. 19. Kimberley defeated Kamloops in Game 6 of the KIJHL championship last season on McArthur Island, eliminating the Storm and capturing the league title.

Kamloops will spend most of its time on the road in September, playing just three games on McArthur Island in the opening

Elimination-round play begins tomorrow evening. The bronze and gold medal games are scheduled for Sunday.

Kamloops’ berth in the tournament comes by virtue of its 2014 B.C. provincial title, won in extra-inning fashion against the Langley Blaze. The Blaze went on to repre-

Woods in Wyndham hunt JOEDY MCCREARY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Tiger Woods wasted no time getting comfortable at the Wyndham Championship.

Woods had his best round in more than two years Thursday, shooting a 6-under 64 in his first competitive round at Sedgefield Country Club.

It was his lowest score on the PGA Tour since his 61 in the second round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in 2013.

Woods took advantage of a low-scoring day at what he called a “tricky’’ Donald Ross-designed course that gave up bunches of birdies after morning showers softened up the fairways and greens.

“When it’s like this,’’ Woods said, “you’ve

got to throw darts and go low.’’

He set the tone by holing a 54-foot chip shot on his first hole, the par-4 10th, for the first of his seven birdies.

Woods arrived insisting he was playing better than his recent results might indicate.

He had missed the cut in three straight majors and had not finished better than a tie for 17th at The Masters. He’s at No. 187 on the FedEx Cup points list and probably needs a win to earn a playoff spot.

Yet he said after last week’s early

exit from the PGA Championship those results belied the improvement he was making in his game.

“I know it’s crazy to say, but I wasn’t playing that poorly at PGA,’’ Woods said.

“Any borderline shot [at Whistling Straits] I never got away with it, and that’s the way it goes. I felt like I was hitting the ball good enough and just kept progressing, and today was just a continuation of it.’’

Especially on that first hole.

His shot from the left side of the green landed inside of 10 feet from the cup and rolled in.

Erik Compton and William McGirt held a share of the lead at 8-under par as of KTW’s press deadline yesterday.

CITY CENTRE REVITALIZATION TAX EXEMPTION AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 22-4-8 The Council of the City of Kamloops hereby gives notice of a proposed amendment to the City of Kamloops City Centre Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw. It is recognized that promoting revitalization in specified areas of the City of Kamloops' City Centre is an essential component to the overall economic prosperity of Kamloops and the objectives of this designation are to strengthen the viability of existing businesses; stimulate and encourage new private investment; encourage higher-density, rental, residential development; encourage public parking in new parking structures; improve the image and attractiveness of a specified area of the City Centre; and better utilize City infrastructure.

The City Centre Revitalization Tax Exemption Program accomplishes these objectives by granting municipal tax relief for projects that meet the criteria for new construction or improvements within a specified area of the City Centre. The City recognizes that tax relief could encourage new projects, which are constructed, maintained, operated, and used in a fashion that is consistent with and will foster the principles set out in KAMPLAN: City of Kamloops Official Community Plan. Property owners within the specified area may apply for exemptions from municipal property taxes for new construction or alterations to their buildings. The process and criteria to qualify for this program are set out in the City of Kamloops City Centre Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 22-4-5.

The proposed amendment is to be able to provide a 100% municipal tax exemption for a ten-year term on new multiple-family residential improvements, to add brownfield (or contaminated) sites to the eligibility criteria of the bylaw, and to alter the wording in the bylaw to provide clarity and contain language consistent with current best practices.

The amount of the tax exemption shall be 100% of the increased assessed value of improvements, and the maximum term of exemption that may be provided under the proposed bylaw is ten years.

The designated area of the City Centre Revitalization Tax Exemption is as follows:

CRIMES OF THE WEEK HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MOTORCYCLE Over the last couple weeks there have been numerous complaints of a motorcycle speeding in the Bachelor Heights area and onto Parkcrest Ave. This bike has been driving at a high rate of speed and is putting vehicle and pedestrian traffic at risk. At one point the police tried to pull the motorcycle over but the motorcycle accelerated quickly and fled the area. The police would not engage in any type of vehicle pursuit as it would create harm to the public.

The only description of the motorcycle is it is “Black Street Bike”.

This driver of the motorcycle feels they can do what they want on the roadways and has no regard for the public at all. This motorcycle has been seen may times in the Bachelor Heights and Parkcrest Ave area but the registered owners address is unknown.

It is time to get this driver off the road and deal with the justice system before someone is seriously hurt.

NATIONAL SPORTS

Jays are moneymakers PETER HENDERSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Edwin Encarnacion and the Toronto Blue Jays are in action today in Anaheim against the Angels. Game time is 7 p.m. The Jays are drawing more fans — and more money for Rogers — than they have in a long time.

TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays are leading the league in wins, scoring and RBIs, yet owner Rogers Communications Inc. is probably most pleased about the ROI — the return on investment.

Fan interest in the team has surged since general manager Alex Anthopoulos pulled off deals that netted the Jays two five-time all-stars, Detroit Tigers pitcher David Price and Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki in the week before the July 31 trade deadline.

Languishing eight games back of the New York Yankees in their division standings, the two squads are now fighting it out for top spot.

3Macs analyst Troy Crandall said it’s difficult to quantify the return on investment coming to Rogers from

the team’s recent run.

“You know it’s positive, but putting absolute number on it is very difficult to determine,’’ he said.

Rogers has numerous revenue streams from the Blue Jays, he noted, including ticket sales, concession stands and merchandise, he said.

And as a so-called vertically integrated media conglomerate, he noted, there are plenty of other opportunities for Rogers to make money off the newly competitive team, whether it’s advertising opportunities on the company’s TV channels, cover photos of the Blue Jays on its magazines or Blue Jays-branded offers for its cable and wireless packages.

“That would just be the smart business thing to do,’’ he said. “You could get a boost across a lot of their products.’’

Jason Diplock, vicepresident of ticket sales and service for the Jays,

said in an email that ticket sales have quadrupled since the trade deadline. The last four home games have been sell-outs, he added.

Rogers does not break out its revenue from the Blue Jays separately in its quarterly reports, instead including it in its media properties.

In the company’s most recent earnings statement — for the quarter ending June 30 — the media division accounted for $582 million of the company’s $3.4 billion in revenue.

The Blue Jays are catching the attention of more than just Toronto.

Loraine Cordery, marketing and insights manager at IPG Mediabrands, said her company’s analysis of TV ratings, tweets, and other social media shows that the Blue Jays are Canada’s team when it comes to baseball.

“It’s not just a phenomenon in Ontario,’’

she said. “It’s very exciting to see that the whole country is getting behind the success of the Blue Jays.’’

IPG’s research shows the total number of tweets per day about the Blue Jays has gone up 270 per cent since the trades. Tweets from outside Ontario have increased by 37 per cent.

The Blue Jays’ TV ratings have increased from 444,000 a game to nearly 793,000 a game since the end of July, according to the research.

In the same period, average attendance at the Rogers Centre has increased from 27,841 per game to 38,771.

Cordery said the trends have persisted even as the team has fallen two games behind the Yankees in the division.

“It’s not just people jumping on and then off the bandwagon, the buzz is still going strong,’’ she said.

Canadian sprinter De Grasse looks to put world on notice LORI EWING

THE CANADIAN PRESS

PICKERING, Ont. — When Usain Bolt was sprinting to three gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Andre De Grasse was 13 years old and dreaming of playing in the NBA. He grew up playing soccer and basketball. He could rattle off the names of the best players in the English Premier League. He loved Toronto Raptors star Vince Carter.

It’s not that De Grasse didn’t know who Bolt was, it’s more that he didn’t really care about the double world record-holder.

Things haven’t changed much as the 20-year-old from Markham, Ont., gets ready to line up this weekend against the best sprinters on the planet at the world track and field championships in Beijing.

“I don’t think he’s going to be rattled getting in the blocks against Tyson [Gay, a three-time world champion] or Bolt,’’ says his Canadian coach Tony Sharpe. “He never talks about [Justin] Gatlin, Bolt, [Asafa] Powell. Never. Being a little naive about who’s around you sometimes can’t hurt. Takes away some of that nervous pressure.

“But there’s something beyond that with Andre in terms of competitiveness, that can’t

be ever coached or taught.’’

It’s that inexplicable “something’’ that saw De Grasse win the 200 metres at the Pan American Games last month in Toronto, despite running out of Lane 8 and in his sixth race in three days.

“I’ll go on record saying that 200 metres was the most incredible run I’ve seen from Lane 8,’’ Sharpe says. “Typically when somebody makes up the stagger on you and you’re in the outside lane, it’s lights out.

“But he never quit. He came back with 10 metres to go to win.

That doesn’t happen. Ever.’’

And while reaching the podium in Beijing might be a tall order for De Grasse, who’s coming off a busy Pan Am schedule and a long NCAA season, Sharpe would never count out Canada’s new face of sprinting.

“Take in the fact that he ran three high-quality 100 metres [in Toronto], that [200 victory] comes from someplace deep. It’s not coachable. The guy just refuses to lose,’’ Sharpe says. “I would never bet against him on any given day.’’

De Grasse has rocketed up the world rankings since Sharpe spotted him as a Grade 12 student in a high school meet at York University, racing down the track with an unorthodox and unsightly style that still makes the coach laugh.

Over coffee in Pickering, Ont.,

Sharpe and Andre’s mom Beverley De Grasse roar at the memory.

“Mechanics-wise, we had to fix a few things . . . stop looking at the sky. Like a little kid. He used to run looking at the sky,’’ Sharpe says, chuckling. “We have videos of some of the events at York. It’s hilarious. We just die watching him. We just crack up.’’

“I’m watching him training, and I’m saying to some of the other parents ‘Oh my god, what is he looking at?’’’ Beverley adds — and then demonstrates, head up, arms pumping. “I remember Tony yelling over to me saying ‘I don’t know how he runs that fast, looking up in the air.’’’

But De Grasse was a quick learner.

“He’s an athlete, makes life easier,’’ Sharpe says.

Beverley saw the speed in her son as a child, the way he could outrun his opponents with a ball at his feet or in his hand. And he already had that relentless competitive spirit.

“When his team was down and they really needed him to come back and win the game, he would fight down to the end,’’ Beverley says. “He always had the fierceness about him.’’

His nickname “Tip’’ comes from basketball. His bedroom is Raptors-themed. When he was six, Beverley hired a painter to do a mural of the team’s old dinosaur

logo on the wall. It’s still there.

Beverley and Sharpe chuckle about that, too.

“He doesn’t want me to change it,’’ Beverley says.

De Grasse’s dreams of a pro basketball career had fizzled out

by Grade 12 when Sharpe spotted him.

Beverley wasn’t sold on her son running track. He’d been accepted to several colleges around the GTA and she told him he should be focusing on making a life for himself.

But two months after he first sprinted down the track, he was beating the top high-schoolers in the country. A year later, in 2013, he ran 10.25 seconds in the 100 to break the Canadian junior record.

“When you think of all the great Canadian sprinters that ran through the junior years in Canada, [Donovan Bailey and Bruny Surin, to name two] for him to do that, at 18 years old, off minimal training, you know the future is pretty bright,’’ Sharpe says.

It wasn’t until his spectacular performance at this year’s NCAA championships though that De Grasse finally hit people’s radars.

He won both the 100 and 200 for the USC Trojans, with less than 45 minutes between races in times — just slightly wind-aided — that made him a serious contender for the world and Olympic podium.

Life hasn’t been the same

since, Beverley says. As she poses shyly for pictures, the photographer moving her this way and that, Sharpe teasingly calls her “Paparazzi Mama.’’

De Grasse became the face of the Pan Am Games, appearing on posters and billboards around Toronto. The day after his last race, he was at a local track filming with CBC for an upcoming episode of The Nature of Things.

Players in a nearby flag football game spotted him and abandoned the game.

“They swarmed Andre, with their cameras,’’ Sharpe recalls.

“I said ‘Andre, you’re a rock star, dude.’’’

Beverley isn’t too worried about how her only child will handle the spotlight.

“Andre and I are very, very close. Whatever is bothering him, he’s not afraid to come to me and talk. That’s the way I brought him up,’’ she says. “As I say to him ‘You’re 20, you’re young, you have a whole life ahead of you in track.’

So my expectations for him at worlds is not that he’s going to go out there and win the 100 metres.

“I just want him to do the best that he can on the day and be happy with himself.’’

The 100-metre final is Sunday.

De Grasse isn’t running the 200 but will compete as part of Canada’s 4x100 relay.

Arthur Alonzo Rodgers July 16, 1936 - August 8, 2015 It is with great sadness that the family of Art announces his passing on August 8, 2015 in Kamloops, BC. Art was born in Twillingate, Newfoundland on July 16, 1936. His Canadian Forces service took him to many places around the world with Kamloops being his last post where he settled to raise his family. He retired from the Canadian Forces as a Sergeant for his 22 years of devoted service. His transition from Military Service into Provincial Corrections took him to Maple Ridge where he met and married his 2nd wife Bonnie. They retired in Cranbrook, BC where many wonderful years were spent traveling across Canada and the USA. Art loved to play pool, crib, chess and enjoyed his trips to the casino. He also enjoyed watching sports with a particular love for hockey, football and baseball. Dad was also a master craftsman with creating cabinets and renovating houses.

His proudest accomplishment was designing the plan for their last home built in Cranbrook. He will be fondly remembered for whistling a tune, his quick humour, his story telling of his childhood and whipping up the tastiest meals. Dad was happy to have his ever faithful feline companion, Callie by his side throughout his journey.

Art was pre-deceased by his wife Bonnie on May 4, 2015.

He is survived by his children Scott, Doug (Janice), Marie, Ron and two step-children Leslie and Paul. He was the loving grandfather to Kaylee, Tyler, Kelsie, Jessica, Jamie and great-grandson, Deklin. He is survived by his sister Mary of Toronto, Ontario, sister Marie and brother Cyril both of Corner Brook, Newfoundland.

He cherished the memories of all of his extended family members and friends.

Each memory now becomes a treasure.

I’M GLAD I TOUCHED SHOULDERS WITH YOU

There’s a comforting thought at the close of the day When I’m weary and lonely and sad That sort of grips hold of this crusty old heart And bids it be merry and glad.

It gets in my soul, and it drives out the blues, And finally thrills through and through.

It’s just a sweet memory that chants the refrain, “I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.”

Did you know you were brave, Did you know you were strong, Did you know there was one leaning hard, Did you know that I listened and waited and prayed And was cheered by your simplest word?

Did you know that I longed for that smile on your face, For the sound of your voice ringing true, Did you know I grew stronger and better because I had merely touched shoulders with you?

I am glad that I live; that I battle and strive For a place that I know I must fill; I’m thankful for sorrows I’ll meet with a grin What fortune may send good or ill; I may not have wealth, I may not be great but I know I shall always be true, For I have in my life that courage you gave, When once I touched shoulders with you.

FAITH

Sharing with the poor an ancient tradition

T

he Kamloops Gleaning Abundance Project is a very worthwhile charitable organization.

Gleaning is the gathering of excess fruit and vegetables from private homeowners, with the produce being donated to the food bank or various community kitchen projects around the city.

Homeowners can register their trees or gardens with the project. When harvest time comes, volunteers gather to pick whatever excess produce the homeowner doesn’t need for their own use.

It’s a great way to share with those who are less fortunate (and also improve the diet of food bank users who are often provided only with canned or packaged goods).

The project’s website says gleaning is a practice that originated

CHRIS KEMPLING

You Gotta Have

FAITH

“in ancient times.”

To be more precise, it was something God directed Moses to convey to the people of Israel.

The following passage is from the book of Leviticus: “When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.

“Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the alien.

“I am the Lord your God.” The book of Deuteronomy outlines the same concept with slightly different details: “When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it. Leave it for the alien, the fatherless and the widow, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

“When you beat the olives from your trees, do not go over the branches a second time. When you harvest the grapes in your vineyard, do not go over the vines again.

“Leave what remains for the alien, the father and the widow. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt.

“That is why I command you to do this.”

So, the concept of leaving the gleanings of the harvest for the poor came from God.

I guess the big difference from today is that the poor were expected to do the gleaning work themselves.

It was an early form of welfare for the neediest members of society.

Nevertheless, it was a religious obligation on all landowners not to be too rigorous in their harvesting methods.

In Deuteronomy, it specifically says God would bless the landowner who did it and reminded the Israelites that as slaves in Egypt, they had no land of their own.

Gleaning plays an important role in the ancestry of Jesus.

The book of Ruth details the story of a Moabite woman, who is a refugee from a famine in her homeland.

Her mother-in-law, Naomi, returns to Israel after her husband Elimelech and

both her sons die.

Ruth insists on accompanying Naomi back to Israel and they arrive in Bethlehem at the time of the barley harvest.

They are destitute, so Ruth proposes that she go gleaning.

She happens to start gleaning in the fields of Boaz, a relative of Naomi’s husband.

Boaz asks his foreman, “Whose young woman is that?”

He responds, “She is the Moabitess who came back from Moab with Naomi. She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters.’ She went into the field and has worked steadily from morning till now, except for a short rest in the shelter.”

Clearly, she catches Boaz’ eye.

He instructs his harvesters, “Let her glean where there’s still plenty of grain on the

ground — make it easy for her.

“Better yet, pull some of the good stuff out and leave it for her to glean. Give her special treatment.”

So, Ruth gleans all through the harvest with Boaz’ reapers.

After the harvest is over, Boaz and all his workers have a party.

Naomi instructs Ruth to bathe and perfume herself and lay at Boaz’ feet after dark, basically to indicate her availability for marriage.

Boaz, who is already impressed with Ruth’s work ethic and dedication to her mother-inlaw, decides to take action.

In the social structure of ancient Israel, land owned by a family had to remain in the family.

But, if the owner died and the widow was childless, a relative had an obligation to marry the widow

and provide her with children, who would be the legal heirs of the land in the name of the dead landowner.

This was the case with Elimelech’s land.

So. Boaz offers the right to Elimelech’s land (and Ruth) to a relative who is more closely related, but he declines. Boaz marries Ruth, who has a son, Obed.

Obed is the grandfather of King David, the ancestor of Jesus.

I guess one could say that Jesus was the result of gleaned barley.

PMO LAWYER DISAGREED WITH HARPER ON SENATE

S LAV

MICRO

FRIDGE

OTTAWA — Stephen Harper said the people who work for him enjoy his confidence, otherwise they wouldn’t be on his staff.

That was the prime minister’s answer when he was asked if he stands by chief of staff, Ray Novak. Recent testimony in the Mike Duffy fraud trial has more closely linked Novak to the controversial $90,000 payment to Duffy in 2013 by Harper’s previous chief of staff, Nigel Wright.

Harper reiterated yesterday during

a campaign stop in King Township, Ont., north of Toronto, that he holds only Duffy and Wright responsible for any wrongdoing.

“I’ve been very clear. When people are working for me, they have my confidence.

If they didn’t have my confidence, they wouldn’t be working for me. And, in this case, I have held the two people accountable who are responsible,’’ Harper said. “And I’m not going to go around holding everybody else accountable for their actions.’’

The revelations

from the Duffy trial have forced Harper to answer questions about the affair for the last week.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair was asked about Harper’s comments on Novak.

tive,’’ Perrin told the court, without specifying the “factors.’’

Perrin’s view matches that of former Senate legal clerk Mark Audcent, who told the court in April he felt there were personal indicators of whether a person is actually “resident’’ in a province, but no single definition. Crown prosecutor Mark Holmes has also said he doesn’t believe Duffy was constitutionally qualified to represent P.E.I. Harper’s then-principal secretary, Ray Novak, got back to Perrin with the prime minister’s response: Harper said owning $4,000 equalled residency. The subject was closed.

“I was immediately taken aback by the prime minister’s decision that if you simply owned $4,000 worth of property, that made you a resident,’’ Perrin said.

“To me, both legally and practically, it seemed untenable.

I would not be able to consider myself a resident of Nunavut having never visited there simply by having $4,000 of real property.’’

TUB/ SHOWER

OTTAWA — The former lawyer for the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said he was taken aback when Stephen Harper insisted that owning $4,000 worth of property in a province was enough to qualify a person to represent it in the Senate.

Benjamin Perrin began his testimony yesterday at Mike Duffy’s fraud, breach of trust and bribery trial, where the Crown took him through early PMO discussions around Duffy’s contentious Senate expenses.

The entire Duffy controversy was sparked in late 2012 when reporters and legal experts began questioning both Duffy’s housing allowance claims and his eligibility to sit in the Senate for Prince Edward Island.

He had lived and worked in Ottawa for decades before Harper made him a senator.

Perrin, now a law professor at the University of British Columbia, said he was asked to study the question of a person’s qualifications for representing a

province in the Senate.

He said the PMO was interested in protecting Conservative senators from such questions.

Duffy, Saskatchewan Sen. Pamela Wallin and Nunavut Sen. Dennis Patterson had come under scrutiny.

The Constitution points to two main qualifications — that a person hold $4,000 worth of real property in the province and that they be “resident’’ in the province.

It’s the resident part that had become contentious for Duffy, Wallin and Patterson.

Perrin wrote a memo for the prime minister in February 2013, after he researched the limited jurisprudence on the issue and other legal materials. “[I] essentially proposed a contextual test which would allow for a whole list of different factors to be considered, to determine whether or not someone would have sufficient personal connection to the province to which they would be appointed, such that they could fulfil this representational objec-

ATHENS — Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras announced his government’s resignation and called early elections yesterday, an attempt to get a new mandate to implement a three-year bailout program that sparked a rebellion within his radical left party.

In a televised address to the nation last night, Tsipras defended his government’s negotiating tactics and said Greece got the best deal possible for its 86-billion euro ($95-billion) bailout

from other Eurozone countries.

But, the bailout is conditional on Greece imposing stringent cuts and tax hikes — the very measures Tsipras won elections in January vowing to repeal.

His U-turn in accepting the demands by the country’s creditors led to outrage among hardliners in his Syriza party, with dozens voting against him during the bailout’s ratification in parliament last week.

The bailout was approved solely thanks to support from opposition parties.

Without the bailout, Greece

faced defaulting on its debts and crashing out of Europe’s joint currency. Tsipras has insisted that, although he disagrees with the bailout conditions, he had no choice but to accept and implement them.

Now that the country has secured its funding, Tsipras said he felt obliged to let the Greek people evaluate his work.

He did not mention a date for the election, although it will have to be held within the next month, with government officials saying Sept. 20 would be the likeliest date.

Ashley Madison: Leaked data can’t be linked THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The Canadian adultery website Ashley Madison says electronic personal information exposed in a massive data breach can’t be used to prove the infidelity of their clients.

The company confirmed yesterday it doesn’t verify email addresses used to sign up for the service, nor does it collect phone numbers or store full credit-card numbers.

An official with the company also says it doesn’t check email addresses — precisely to ensure no account can be conclusively linked with a specific person.

People can speculate based on the data leaked earlier this week, the official says, but there’s no smoking gun.

Scouring the data for familiar names or email addresses among the site’s more than 35-million registered members has become a popular pastime for worried spouses and curious Internet users worldwide.

There are hundreds of email addresses in the data release that appear to be connected to federal, provincial and municipal workers across Canada, as well as to the RCMP and the military.

The Toronto cyber-security company Cycura is investigating the breach for Ashley Madison, along with the FBI, RCMP, OPP and Toronto Police Services.

The company’s chief technology officer, Joel Eriksson, says the source code used by Avid Life Media, Ashley Madison’s parent company, is being audited for “vulnerabilities and backdoors’’ though it doesn’t appear any software vulnerability was exploited in the breach.

Taking a walk through the park, 50 years later Glenn Grant, general manager of the BC WIldlife Park, outside the cougar enclosure, one of the first habitats he helped build in 1998.

JESSICA KLYMCHUK STAFF REPORTER jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com

W

hile most visitors to the BC Wildlife Park wander around, intrigued by the many carnivores and amphibians, Glenn Grant weaves paths he sees as a blueprint come to life.

He sees every board cut and every nail hammered, every fence propped and each yard of concrete poured.

“I watched it grow from not much of anything,” said the general manager, pointing to the eastern side of the park he remembers being peppered with tall ponderosas, the black bear pen just an open field.

To the north, near the new Fawcett Family Wildlife Health Centre, is the park’s small original entrance.

When Grant arrived in the late 1990s, it was a time of crossroads for the park, founded 50 years ago by John Moelaert.

In 1965, Moelaert pitched the idea to the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce as a strategy for turning Kamloops into more than a one-night stop.

It opened in August 1966 on 106 acres of land in east Kamloops donated by Molson Breweries.

Though the park received its first government-backed conservation program in 1989, bringing Moelaert’s vision for “conservation through

education” to fruition, its identity was still up for debate 30 years after it opened.

“When I first got here, they wanted to make a decision: Are we going to be a roadside attraction or are we going to be a tourist destination?” Grant said.

To be a successful tourist destination, new exhibits would need to be built, new infrastructure added.

The animal collection would need to grow.

Twenty years ago, the park still had exotic animals — monkeys, a jaguar, zebras, Przewalski horses.

They were phased out 10 years ago because it was too difficult to keep them comfortable in winter.

“We decided if you’re going to do something, pick what you can do really, really well and showcasing B.C. wildlife or, at least, animals that are very tolerant of our climate would be the best thing to do,” Grant said, explaining the

“It was always meant to be, for lack of better terms, a wildlife sanctuary,” he said.

“The animals that we did have were born in captivity. They were part of a species-survival program. The idea was to find mates for them in other facilities and breed them.

“We were basically just a holding area for them at that time, but the idea of the park ever since the beginning was never to be considered a zoo.”

From 1996 to 2001, the park took big strides, building the conservation centre

that acted as its new entrance, a new habitat for cougars and lynx, a new elk enclosure and a playground.

This also brought about a desire to change the culture of how people view captive animals, Grant said, with the construction of elevated platforms with unobstructed views.

Another stage of development brought in the birds of prey exhibit, the black bear habitat and the opening of the Highland Valley Copper Amphitheatre and the Discovery Centre in 2006.

Grant was around

for the first season of Wild Lights, the 23-day winter event that now attracts 20 per cent of the park’s annual attendance.

Most recently, the park built a a 2.7-acre habitat for Clover — the famous and, at times, controversial spirit bear — and a suitable animal hospital.

The park cares for the 225 animals that reside there and takes in close to 380 others yearly to rehabilitate and release.

Development tends to follow a pattern — five years of expansion followed by five years of planning, Grant explained. It is largely because of its reliance on private and corporate donations — and not small ones.

STAFF REPORTER

For nearly 40 years, the Wildlife Express has chugged along the tracks at the BC Wildlife Park — thanks to the devoted work of a small army of volunteers.

Viki Bentley is one of those do-gooders. The recently retired Sun Rivers resident started donating her time to the miniature train in March.

“It was one thing I wanted to do a while back, but I was working so it was difficult,” she said.

Bentley said the summer is a busy time for the train.

“In July and August, we run seven days a week, so we need a lot of people on it,” she said.

“Every day there are three people on it — two people to drive the train and a cashier.”

Bentley said the work of a volunteer begins shortly after 9 a.m. with a test run to make sure there’s no debris on the track and everything is running smoothly.

Then, once the cashier opens the station, the train starts accepting passengers. ulated areas. Under the circumstance, a normal black bear would have been destroyed, but Kermode bears are rare and the provincial

“Some days, we have a lineup waiting for the first run,” she said.

According to Bentley, between 75 and 100 volunteers donate their time to keep the miniature train on track.

Bentley said she helps out three or four times a month.

“It’s been 37 years with volunteers,” she said, noting some volunteers have been working on the train for 20 years.

“There’s no paid staff, and it’s quite an attraction for the park.

“For something to be running that long solely on volunteer people, that’s quite an achievement.”

Bentley said she’s enjoying helping out at the wildlife park and looking to expand her duties.

“I think it’s just that I like volunteering and I like the idea of the wildlife park,” she said.

“Just seeing a lot of people that I know — passengers and people that volunteer. And, of course, the children. It’s been really good.

Of the $1.6-million budget, $500,000 is left to operate the park, including animal care, veterinary needs and maintenance. The park is dependent on fundraising and community help for development and Grant doesn’t see that changing any time soon.

Ron and Rae Fawcett donated $500,000 to build the hospital and Clover’s habitat. Highland Valley Copper has contributed $500,000 and TD Canada Trust $300,000. Other private donors include Ken Lepin, Ellen and Mark Brown and Jim MacMillan.

The park’s expansion is also dependant on the collection, which evolves on more of an as-needed basis.

Many of the animals come to the park much like Clover did — no longer able to survive in the wild and taken in — though Grant said Clover’s is the most interesting story.

Orphaned as a cub, Clover was captured hanging around an archaeological dig after an unsuccessful attempt to rehabilitate him. He had been fed by humans and showed no fear of pop-

for growth, support tion officer. Their story is widely untold, but involved an element of human error.

The black bear collection was admittedly an accident. Hamilton was delivered with the understanding he was an orphaned grizzly, but DNA testing proved otherwise after an expert recognized his behaviours to be uncharacteristic — a little embarrassing at the time, Grant said with a laugh.

“A lot of the animals that we have just seem to come along and we have to make a decision,” he said.

“Most of the animals here have their own story as to why they are here and then each of them have educational value to our visitors as to what

to do if you encounter these animals in the wild, how to protect them in the wild, how to protect their habitat.

“We need to do a better job of teaching people to leave things alone in the wild.”

The main conservation program is the captive breeding and release of burrowing owls. The park isn’t equipped to breed the majority of the animals, but it does with hoofstock. California Bighorn Sheep were born in the park and are some of the oldest residents.

“There isn’t much that’s here right now that was here when I got here,” Grant said.

“The species are still there, but animals change. Their life expectancy isn’t as long

“Most of

the animals have their own story.”

as ours.”

The history of the collection is murky.

Grant assumes the cougars to be one of the oldest species of the park, based on his review of the archives.

The park has always housed moose, deer and bears. Grizzly siblings Shardik and Sheba were amongst the senior residents of the park when they died in their late 30s.

The BC Wildlife Park is searching for wolf pups, a male cougar mate for Zoe, more reptiles and more

THE ANIMALS insects. It is working on a new five-year master plan — finishing Clover’s habitat, building new staff offices, a bigger classroom and a new spray park.

Eventually, Grant wants to see further organization with the collection — all the bears will be near each other, the big cats in one area, the carnivores in another area.

Park staff is also working on developing more interactive displays at the enclosures.

Grant wants to develop the southeast hillside into a fourkilometre interpretive nature trail, part of which is already accessible through Dipper Falls Trail.

In 2014, the park pulled in $180,000 in revenue, but this year

is shaping up to set records.

In the first half of the year, it has had more than 55,000 visitors compared to 39,000 through the first six months of 2014.

Seventy-five per cent of visitors are from local areas, but last year the park secured through Destination America scheduled tour bus stops from California.

“I still think we can be the premiere tourist destination in the Interior,” he said.

“I think a big thing from the park’s perspective is to contribute as a whole to the community. he “That’s how I see the park is going to fit in the long-term, is reallyy helping the economy of Kamloops.”

The BC Wildlife Park isn’t all about Clover the Kermode bear.

There’s Robert, the onelegged bobcat, Knute and Dawson, orphaned grizzlies, and much more.

With 225 animals residing at the park, here’s a breakdown of the 64 different classes you can expect to find during a visit: • Mammals: 28 • Birds: 21 • Reptiles: 9 • Amphibians: 3 • Insects: 2 • Fish: 1

Can you spare a toonie or $5?

BC Liquor Stores are collecting donations to help wildfire victims.

The relief for residence in Rock Creek and Oliver comes after a request from the Red Cross.

Since a fire ignited in Rock Creek on Aug. 14, hundreds of people in the area have

been evacuated, with more than 30 homes destroyed.

Customers can make donations of $2 or $5 to help provide evacuees with blankets, food and water and reunite them with family members and assisting with longerterm needs such as replacing equipement and helping with rent.

BC Liquor Stores

customers and employees have supported Red Cross disaster relief since 2003, when stores first collected donations to support victims affected by wildfires.

The province has battled more than 1,600 wildfires this year.

Pirate Pak Day success in Kamloops White Spot’s eighth annual Pirate Pak Day has landed plenty of loot for a kids’ cause.

In Kamloops, 926 Pirate Paks were sold on Aug. 12, contributing to the overall provincial fundraising total of $92,358.

White Spot donated $2 from each of the meals sold.

The money will be used to send more than 60 youth with life-threatening illnesses and disabilities to Zajac Ranch in Misison, where campers participate in a week of horseback riding, kayaking, water sports, arts, crafts and more.

Since the program’s inception in 2008, White Spot has raised $439,530, sending hundreds of youngsters to camp.

Mullah Omar: More trouble dead than alive

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH nobody told his followers he died two years ago in Pakistan.

Until last week, the Taliban was still issuing statements in his name.

Now all Mullah Omar’s statements since April 2013 and the men who made them in his name are in question. This matters because Mullah Omar was not just the leader of the Taliban.

He was also the most important figure in the broader alliance of Islamist groups known as al Qaeda.

Indeed, he had as

NEW THIS IS NOT A MISPRINT!

much right to claim to be its founder as the man who actually gets the credit — bin Laden.

With his record as a fighter, Mullah Omar was more respected than the man who formally inherited al Qaeda’s leadership after bin Laden was killed in 2011, the reclusive Egyptian theorist Ayman al Zawahiri.

Zawahiri was compelled to renew his allegiance (“baya”) to Mullah Omar when the rival jihadi group, Islamic State, declared its leader, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, to be the “caliph of all the Muslims” in 2014.

This is not just internal politics in a local jihadi group. Al Qaeda and Islamic State are in a violent competition for the loyalty of all the scattered Islamist groups in Muslim countries. It was very important for al Qaeda that Mullah Omar rejected Baghdadi’s claim to be the caliph — and it is important to

the world the two jihadi organizations remain divided and hostile.

Al Qaeda has been losing ground in this competition for years.

Indeed, Islamic State recently set up its own rival franchises in the two countries where al Qaeda dominates the struggle against the local regime — Afghanistan and Yemen. The two groups are at war in both countries, but that could change fast if al Qaeda’s leadership is discredited by lies.

If Mullah Omar died in 2013, he could not have denounced Baghdadi’s claim to be the caliph in 2014.

Similarly, Zawahiri’s pledge of allegiance in 2014 was either a deliberate lie or a demonstration he is hopelessly out of touch with what is happening beyond his hideout, presumably somewhere in Pakistan. Either way, al Qaeda loses credibility.

There would be no reason to mourn the

decline of al Qaeda except the main beneficiary will be Islamic State. There is no strong reason to prefer one organization to the other, either — except that the last thing the world needs is for Islamic State to take

The Butler Says..

over all of al Qaeda’s franchises and create a single, much more powerful and attractive Islamist fighting front.

The current division of the extreme Islamist movement is deplored by almost everybody in both organizations.

There is little ideological difference between them. If al Qaeda’s claim to leadership is undermined by lies about Mullah Omar, unification of the Islamist groups under Baghdadi’s authority is a real possibility.

slamist fanatics are very earnest about their beliefs.

They accept that secrecy and deceit are necessary to mislead enemies, but do not expect their leaders to be lying to them.

When they find out that they have been lied to, consistently and over a long period of time, they get very cross — and this has repercussions in the real world. From the time the Taliban conquered Kabul and took over most of Afghanistan in 1996, Mullah Muhammad Omar Mansoor ran the show and was effectively head of state.

He was the man who allowed Osama bin Laden to set up camp in Afghanistan.

And, although the Taliban lost power after the U.S. invasion in 2001, Mullah Omar remained in control until his death in 2013.

FOREST STEWARDSHIP PLANS FAILING lems identified by a similar review in 2006, said Forest Practices Board chair Tim Ryan.

“We are recommending that government not renew or approve any forest stewardship plans that don’t meet the standards set out in the Forest and Range Practices Act,” he said.

The investigation found many of the plans cover “vast and overlapping areas of the province, and were written using legal language that makes them very difficult for public understanding or review.”

BLACK PRESS

The B.C. government’s forest stewardship plans for Crown land are unenforceable, lack measurable results and are not producing innovative forest management, according to an investigation by the Forest Practices Board.

The board reviewed 43 stewardship plans from all regions of B.C., prepared under provincial law by tenure holders including forest companies and communities.

There has been no improvement in prob-

The five-year plans are supposed to be approved after measurable and verifiable results and strategies are established and public input is obtained. Many have been extended without further public review and more are due for extension or renewal in the next year, the board said.

The board conducts independent investigations of Crown forest licences.

Its reports and results of the latest province-wide investigation can bee found at bcfpb.ca.

Southern B.C. to lead growth

B.C.’s economy will grow at a modest 2.7 per cent this year, then accelerate above three per cent as major projects in northern B.C. get going in late 2016, according to the latest forecast by Central 1 Credit Union.

Low interest rates, a low dollar and recovering demand in the U.S. will help the Vancouver and southern B.C region’s export and service industries most this year, said Bryan Yu, senior economist with the trade association

VULA PRODUCTIONS presents:

for B.C. credit unions.

Manufacturing, tourism, TV and film and agriculture are expected to lead the way.

Slow global demand, particularly from China, is expected to dampen growth in northern B.C. and the Kootenays, where mining and resources are key drivers.

“Northern B.C. is poised to grow at a faster rate in late 2016 onwards with the start of one liquefied natural gas terminal and pipeline, the Site C dam and other major projects,” Yu said.

While B.C. residents working in the oil sands are at greater risk, low oil prices are generally positive for the B.C. economy, with lower costs for businesses and consumers.

Local government auditor problems confirmed

The release of a spring survey of B.C. municipalities confirms the problems that led to the firing of B.C.’s first Auditor General for Local Government in March.

The Union of B.C. Municipalities surveyed the 17 local governments that had participated in former AGLG Basia Ruta’s reviews by March. All but one said AGLG staff and auditors lacked understanding of how local government operates in B.C. One community with RCMP service said the AGLG was “not quite sure how to assess our situation”

because the municipality had little discretion over the terms of its policing contract.

The survey also found high turnover in Rutia’s office hampered its performance audits.

That was one of the factors that led to Ruta being fired, after she refused to cooperate with a review of her office’s functions.

Former B.C. auditor general Arn van Iersel was appointed acting AGLG in April and is working with the UBCM on its recommendations, including training of audit staff.

Hired to execute an idea proposed by Premier Christy Clark in her 2012 bid for the B.C. Liberal Party leadership, Ruta set herself a target of 18 audits in the first year.

PROVINCIAL NEWS

Gas prices stubbornly high despite oil’s dive BLACK PRESS

Gas prices remain stubbornly high in B.C. despite the slide in crude oil prices — and motorists are feeling gouged.

Gasoline in the Vancouver area is down only slightly from $1.40 a litre a year ago, while crude has plunged more than 50 per cent from around $98 a barrel to less than $43 yesterday — its lowest price in six years.

In Kamloops, the price per litre remains at about $1.30 per litre after rising to $1.36 this month.

Petroleum industry analysts say it all boils down to supply and demand. Crude oil accounts for less than half of the end cost of a litre of gasoline, with government taxes and refining charges the other big factors.

“I wish there was a simple explanation,” said Jason Parent of the Kent Marketing Group.

“There isn’t much of a relationship on a day-to-day basis between crude oil and retail gasoline.”

Expecting gas to move in lockstep with crude oil is somewhat akin to expecting house prices to follow lumber prices, without recognizing scarce land or an influx of buyers might have an influence.

Parent said crude and gas prices can go in different directions for different reasons, and gas prices in B.C. can diverge from what other Canadians pay.

Most of the difference between B.C. prices and the rest of the country is explained by the higher 17-cent-a-litre TransLink tax in Metro Vancouver as well as B.C.’s carbon tax.

Motorists are paying just over $1 in Alberta, a few cents more in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and $1.10 to $1.20 in most of Eastern Canada.

But, even after taxes are factored out, Vancouver prices are five to 15 cents a litre higher than most other cities across Canada.

The reason, Parent

said, is that Vancouverarea prices follow those along the U.S. west coast, where the wholesale gas supply

has been constricted by refinery problems in California, driving prices up.

“Wholesale prices

have been high there relative to the rest of the U.S. for a month now,” Parent said.

Some gasoline

comes to B.C. through the Kinder Morgan pipeline, but the rest comes from Washington state or

other U.S. refineries.

If prices were sharply higher in Vancouver than cities to the south, Parent said, gas would

flow back to the U.S. – resulting in shortages here – or wouldn’t be shipped north in the first place.

PROVINCIAL NEWS Private jobs fall, self-employment up BLACK PRESS

The unemployment rate in B.C. held steady at six per cent in July, with a reduction in private-sector jobs offset by increased public sector employment and self-employment.

BC Stats reported that private sector employment fell by 4,500 jobs from June, while private sector jobs grew by 1,800 and the number of self-employed rose by 2,100. Compared to July 2014, selfemployment was up by 9,800 while private sector employment was down 8,300.

B.C.’s unemployment rate tied with Alberta for third lowest in the country in July.

Saskatchewan was lowest with 5.2 per cent

Self-employment

and Manitoba second lowest at 5.8 per cent, compared with a national rate of 6.8 per cent.

B.C.’s commodity exports increased 9.1 per cent in June, with

increases in forestry products, farm and fishing products and energy.

Exports were up 12.8 per cent to the U.S. and 5.1 per cent to the rest of the world.

Off-ramp reopens on Overlanders Bridge The Overlanders Bridge’s southwest off-ramp has reopened to all traffic.

Crews are now working on the southeast ramp (southbound lanes only) and all southbound passenger vehicles and buses travelling downtown will be detoured through a temporary bypass that has been installed at the southwest-off ramp.

Flaggers will be in place to direct traffic.

All southbound heavy trucks must detour through the Mission Flats intersection (detour signs will be in place) or travel up Summit Drive.

The bridge-resurfacing project is in its fourth month and is scheduled to be completed in October.

Graffiti update

After news of the city’s mailbox graffiti problem spread

across B.C., the Kamloops Graffiti Task Force is once again being charged with taking care of Canada Post boxes in the city.

Program co-ordinator Ronnie Bouvier confirmed to KTW that her organization is once again responsible for cleaning up tags on the boxes.

Canada Post had elected not to use the task force this year, which led to complaints from the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association about a proliferation of vandalized mailboxes that had not been cleaned in months.

KCBIA general manager Gay Pooler said she’s happy to see the task force back on the job.

Accident kills two

A Kamloops man is one of two people who were killed in a motor-vehicle acci-

dent near Spences Bridge last week.

The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of the two men who died — Morris Nicholas Wilson, Sr., 47, of Spences Bridge, and his son, Morris Nicholas Wilson Jr., 24, of Kamloops.

Wilson Sr. was the driver and Wilson Jr. was the frontseat passenger in a Jeep Grand Cherokee that was travelling eastbound on Drinkwater Road, about seven kilometres northeast of Spences Bridge, at about 11 p.m. on Aug. 13.

The vehicle left the road and rolled down a steep embankment.

Father and son died at the scene.

The BC Coroners Service and RCMP Traffic Services continue to investigate the deaths.

Amsterdam is full of idyllic canals, which serve an important transportation purpose in addition to their beauty.

Artsy Amsterdam vs. village vibes IRENE BUTLER

TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

“The old buildings alongside the canals are built leaning forward with hooks near the roofline”, says an audio-voice.

“Years ago when the city used to flood, goods had to be hoisted by pulley to the upper window, the tilt ensured the cable and product would not hit the facade.”

My husband Rick and I are cruising along one of the many canals radiating out from central Amsterdam

like silky blue ribbons joined with solid stitches of bridges to the tapestry of land.

Captain Frank is adept at manoeuvering our Blue Boat past breathtaking scenery while we listen to more tidbits about this historic city.

Then it’s off the boat and onward to Central Station, where we catch a bus to Zaanse Schans for, as Rick reasons, “You can’t visit Holland without seeing the old windmills!”

Arriving at a village setting of stilt-houses, small shops and factories, we are

time-warped back to the 17th and 18th centuries.

The scent of chocolate lies heavy in the air from the area’s many chocolate factories — and right inside Zaanse Museum is one that has been operating for 100 years.

Willy Wonka has nothing over the Verkade Chocolate and Biscuit Factory. Wheels and rollers turn cocoa beans into thick creamy bars and rounds of dough into crispy delights.

We do justice to the sample bar and purchase a stash for later.

Then it’s out to the sizable grounds of the complex — and there they are.

The slow rotation of large wooden arms power machines in the factories below — a saw mill, paint mill and spice mill.

Investigating the latter, we see huge stone grinders pulverising spices.

Another small factory carves out wooden shoes or “klompen,” now mostly for sale to tourists.

The museum section

displays styles through the ages, ones for work and ones for Sunday best.

My opinion of them being clumsy dissolves on seeing the staff move around in them with quick ease, a soft “klomp” at each step.

Seeing a mini-factory churning out cheese next to a bakeshop translates into purchases for our scrumptious picnic lunch.

Back in Amsterdam we enter Anne Frank Huis (House) where this young Jewish girl wrote her diaries.

WORD SCRAMBLE

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!
