BRIDGE WORK

Opening of Overlanders’ west lanes pushed back to next week ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It will be a few more days before drivers on the Overlanders Bridge get to test out the results of four months of construction work.

Traffic on the bridge was due to switch over to the western lanes of traffic Wednesday so crews could begin repairing and repaving the eastern half of the bridge.

But, city capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said that switchover likely won’t take place until the weekend now, thanks to a few days of rainy weather which prevented workers from laying down waterproofing membranes on the two sections of the bridge that have not yet been paved.

The membrane can only be applied to a fully dried bridge.

While the lost days don’t help the city’s already tight schedule for the Overlanders project, Crundwell said he still thinks the bridge will be back to four lanes of traffic for Oct. 31.

“We want to get the bridge open,” he said.

Once the final membrane installations and paving take place on the west side of the bridge, Crundwell said the Overlanders rehabilitation — which began in April — will be about 70 per cent complete.

Work completed so far in the the more than $10-million project includes a total repair

of the western sidewalk, including entirely new sidewalk panels and reconstructed supports, patching and repaving of the western bridge deck and repairing and resurfacing various approaches to the bridge, including the Fortune Drive overpass and ramps on the South Shore.

Crundwell said repairs on the underside of the bridge and installing scaffolding also added to the

hours spent on the west side of Overlanders.

“When we flip to the east, we have no sidewalk replacement, no corbels or very little, we’ve got no off ramp, we’ve got no Fortune Drive overpass, we’ve got no soffit repairs,” he said.

“Just curb and bridge deck, joints, paving and lights.”

The city also had to wait on new joints for the bridge, which didn’t arrive

until late August.

Crundwell said while there was talk of ordering the joints in advance of the project due to the long lead time required, but the city wanted to asses the condition of the bridge before it did so to make sure it was getting the right parts.

Crundwell said the city wants to see roadwork done by the end of October not just because it’s pledged to do so, but

because the asphalt plant it relies on often shuts down at the beginning of November.

Colder weather also makes paving more difficult.

Once the bridge fully reopens to traffic, Crundwell said the contractor will stay on site into November to complete landscaping work, take down the scaffolding and do other cleanup activities.

Council Calendar Sept 9 5:30 pm - Heritage Commission DES Boardroom, 105 Seymour Street

Xeriscape not Zeroscape

Sept 15 1:30 pm - Regular Council Meeting Sept 21 4:30 pm - Arts Commission Corporate Boardroom, City Hall Sept 23 5:00 pm - Social Planning Council DES Boardroom, 105 Seymour Street Sept 29 1:30 pm - Regular Council Meeting Regular City Council meetings are broadcast on Shaw Cable as follows: Thurs and Sat at 11 am and Sun at 7 pm.

Council meetings can also be viewed online at: kamloops.ca/webcast.

Meeting schedule is available at kamloops.ca/council.

It’s a common mispronunciation, saying “zeroscape” instead of Xeriscape (pronounced ZEER-escape). In many people’s minds, xeri/zeroscaping means to spread a bunch of rocks across one’s yard, maybe plant a yucca, and call it done. That is not the case.

Yards that embrace Xeriscape ideas actually feature all manner of plants and garden styles, including Formal, English country, Urban, Mediterranean and Native.

To Xeriscape is to plan and design a garden that conserves water through the use of water-collection systems, drought-tolerant plants grouped according to water needs, mulching, practical turf areas, and non-wasteful irrigation to name a few. Grouping plants by water need, plants are healthier, easier to maintain and less susceptible to disease, requiring less use of pesticides and fertilizers.

In drought-prone climates, xeriscaping is becoming a very popular concept, eagerly embraced by homeowners who want to save money on their water bills, conserve water, and help the environment, all while having a beautiful garden and yard.

Between 50 and 75 percent of the water used in traditional landscapes can be conserved following the principles of Xeriscape.

A successful Xeriscape requires a well thought out plan, and what better time to start than the present. Take some time to drive around and see what landscaping appeals to you, talk to the various garden and landscape stores, search the internet, join a garden club, take the winter to design your garden so that when spring arrives, you are ready to begin.

Weekly Traffic Update Overlanders Bridge Toward the end of the week, crews will begin work on the east side of the bridge deck. At that time, traffic will move to the newly paved western lanes of the bridge.

This will be the final major traffic configuration change of the project.

All southbound passenger vehicles traveling downtown continue to be detoured through a temporary bypass off the south west ramp.

Over the next few weeks motorists can expect single lane, alternating traffic on the bridge, most evenings starting at 9 pm. This is to allow crews to complete milling and paving, as well as installation of deck joints when traffic volumes are lower. Thank you for your patience.

Columbia Street Crews continue preparation work for the sidewalk on the north side of Columbia Street.

The north sidewalk between 4th and 6th avenues remains closed. Pedestrian access to businesses will be accommodated as much as possible. The south sidewalk is open between 4th and 6th avenues.

The #7 Aberdeen bus returns to Columbia Street. The #9 Gleneagles traveling from downtown to Aberdeen continues to temporarily re-route on Battle Street. For more information and to view the new transit service changes, visit www.bctransit.com (trip alerts) or call 250-376-1216.

Transit Changes Effective Sept 6, Kamloops will see improved services to the transit system.

A fare change will also be taking effect. A newly adopted, simplified, fare structure, including single cash fares and single day-pass fares are being rolled out.

Slumping copper prices no deterrence for KGHM on Ajax proposal CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Sinking copper prices and cost cutting by mining companies — including shutting mines — will not deter the proposed Ajax project, an official with KGHM said this week.

While KGHM Ajax says it will soon release its application to the federal and provincial governments to gain environmental approval, project economics have changed considerably in the three years since the release of the feasibility study for the open pit mine south of Kamloops.

That report bases mine viability on copper at $2.75 a pound.

For most of the past decade, copper has trended above $3 a pound.

Copper prices, however— along with other commodities— started to slide last year. In early in September prices are settling around $2.40 U.S. a pound — well below the $2.75 cited in the Ajax feasibility study.

Sinking commodity prices are causing the world’s mining compa-

nies to close mines and reduce production.

Glencore PLC announced this week it would close two copper mines in Africa, a move that caused prices to rebound slightly.

Last month, KGHM warned it may suspend some projects in the wake of declining prices.

On Sept. 4, it announced it will reduce its staff at the Robinson mine in Nevada by about five per cent.

“Big companies are under a lot of pressure from shareholders to get rid of debt and to build up cash,” said Raymond Goldie, a mining analyst with Salman Partners.

Other major mining companies are selling operations in a bid to reduce losses.

Yves Lacasse, the project’s external affairs manager, acknowledged those conditions are resulting in belt-tightening at the Kamloops operation.

The company has not laid off workers.

“Like most mining companies, KGHM is taking measures to reduce costs due to lower commodity

prices,” he said in an email.

“Ajax is reducing spending — in areas such as travel and advertising, for example — for the second half of 2015 without any layoffs or changes to the EA [environmental assessment] application or project engineering.”

The economic viability of the Ajax project — including an updated project cost from the $800 million U.S. estimated in the 2012 report as well as new assumptions for metal prices — will be detailed in a new feasibility study to be released later this year.

The project footprint has changed completely from the 2012 estimate and there is possibility of updated reserves and changed production numbers.

While copper is below assumptions in the feasibility study three years ago, a rapid decline in the Canadian dollar offsets that drop.

Lacasse said those numbers will be detailed in the feasibility study.

But, it would appear the dollar’s slide — from 92 cents U.S. in

the report to about 75 cents today more than offsets the decline in copper prices.

Goldie said the U.S. dollar’s strength against other currencies has particularly harmed mines in the United States, where costs are in inflated U.S. dollars.

“Just because you shut down U.S. operations doesn’t mean you wouldn’t go head with a Canadian one.

“The same mine could be profitable in Canada.”

The fact the mine is at the site of a historic open pit will also give the company more confidence, he said.

Lacasse continued to express confidence in the mine’s economic prospects, saying KGHM announced earlier this year it will dedicate $9 billion toward project development.

It forecasts beginning construction here in 2016.

Goldie said while some projects are being built, KGHM will run contrary to global trends if it goes ahead with the massive expenditure, particularly without a jointventure partner.

“Your shareholders

don’t want you splashing out on that. They want dividends.”

Correction Tk’emlups Indian Band’s nomination meeting is scheduled for Saturday, Sept.

26 at its Moccasin Square Gardens building.

An incorrect date appeared in a story on page A10 of the Sept. 8 edition of Kamloops This Week.

INCAPACITY PLANNING FOR MEDICAL & PERSONAL CARE DECISIONS If you become ‘incapable” to the point of being unable to make decisions or give directions about your personal care or medical care, health care providers may only provide health care (except in an emergency situation) to you if someone consents to it on your behalf. The law prescribes the “pecking order” of whom the doctors look to, to make medical decisions for you. The order begins with your spouse, then adult children, then parents, then siblings, etc.

HOW TO HAVE A SAY IN YOUR PERSONAL & MEDICAL CARE: If you are not comfortable leaving such an important decision to chance, or if the pecking order is not right for you, there are two tools you can use: 1. Advance Directive - set out your directions as to what medical care you do or do not want.

2. Representation Agreement - name a specific trusted person (as well as an alternate/backup) who will be your decision-maker and your advocate for personal care and medical care matters.

A lawyer can assist you with preparing these documents so that they are legally binding, and, as with all your estate planning, you should review these documents periodically to ensure they still reflect your wishes.

Rotary Ribfest nets $95K

KTW FILE PHOTO

2015 Rotary Ribfest brought 60,000 people to Riverside Park.

A whole lot of ribs were eaten — and it went to raising a lot of money for programs and charities in the community.

The fourth annual Interior Savings Daybreak Rotary Ribfest in August raised $95,000 from the more than 60,000 people were attended the event at Riverside Park. Ribfest co-chair Sandra Blair said most of the profit will go to youth organizations but applications will be accepted from any groups within the city.

Gun ‘chop shop’ First Nations look trial underway to hold mine talks AJAX REVIEWS

CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Crown alleges the exhusband of a woman who bilked the Kamloops Blazers out of nearly $1-million was part of a “chop shop” for modifying firearms.

Charles Patrick is on trial in B.C. Supreme Court, facing eight weapons-related charges.

Crown lawyer Frank Caputo said during an opening statement in the trial that police pulled Patrick over in December 2013 behind the wheel of a suspicious vehicle.

RCMP allege they found him with a loaded, sawed-off shotgun inside his jacket.

That evening, they raided his home, where the Crown alleges a number of other modified weapons were

found and seized. “[It was] a chop-shop for guns; it was a place where guns were altered in furtherance of criminal activity,” Caputo told B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop.

Caputo said the trial scheduled for seven days will also hear that Mounties found another sawed-off shotgun, a shortened rifle, tools to modify guns and “ammo all over the place.”

Patrick at one time was married to Maxine Patrick, the office manager of the Kamloops Blazers for almost a decade beginning in 1994.

She defrauded the organization of almost $1-million over that period.

Patrick operated Patrick Log Homes in Kamloops during that time. He was named as a defendant in a civil suit filed by the Blazers.

Two First Nations bands will mount their own hearings on the Ajax copper and gold mine, arguing the project won’t be properly assessed by the federal-provincial review in the works.

The Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn bands announced yesterday they will hold a weeklong hearing on the project, which will consider “both the tangible and intangible impacts of the project.”

Included on the panel will be chiefs and councillors, elders, youth, family representatives and knowledge keepers.

The bands, which declared title on the mine’s property south of Aberdeen in June, said in a release they have asked the provincial and federal governments to conduct a panel review on the mine.

Similar requests have come from the city of Kamloops and many of the mine’s opponents.

Ottawa and Victoria have shot down the idea of a panel review several times in favour of a comprehensive review, which doesn’t include hearings, prompting the bands to create a parallel review of the mine.

In addition to the panel hearing, the bands said they will have independent experts review Ajax’s application for environmental review and host community information sessions.

They will then submit their findings and decision to the provincial cabinet, which has the final say on the mine, alongside the provincial Environmental Assessment Office’s own findings.

Adult-education charges questioned DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Representatives of teachers organizations and institutions want the provincial government to reverse a decision it made last December to let educational institutions charge tuition on adult basic education (ABE).

At a joint press conference, B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker joined George Davison, head of the Federation of Post-Secondary Educators of B.C. and Karen Shortt of the Vancouver Community College to demand the government honour its 2007 decision to make adult basic education courses free.

That year, former attorneygeneral Geoff Plant was picked by then-premier Gordon Campbell to lead the Campus 2020: Looking Ahead project that included in one of its recommendations removing fees for ABE. Plant’s report identified

ABE as courses adults “could have taken for free in high school, but did not. . . . The public interest in eliminating barriers to participation in post-secondary education requires that no tuition be charged to any adult learner seeing to upgrade their education by completing highschool courses” through ABE offered at universities.

Davison condemned the move to allow post-secondary institutions to charge up to $550 per course, saying the cost is small for the benefit it provides to adults who need more education.

He said the move simply created more barriers for people already facing many in their lives, having to find the money to pay for the courses and not qualifying for grants to help offset them if they make more than $11.39 an hour.

Shortt said her college has always had one of the largest adult-upgrading students but this year, enrolment in many of the courses is down

as much as 50 per cent. (A spokesman for Thompson Rivers University said comparable statistics for the upgrading courses will not be available until later in the month.)

“We’re talking about basic literacy and numeracy skills,” she said.

“These are courses these adults need to re-enter the job force. We will lose all these students, our future work force.”

Two students at the college also spoke at the conference, one struggling with his emotions as he talked about how the education he’s been receiving has been life-changing.

John Corsiglia said he became sick while in Grade 12 with an illness that saw him spend “years in a lot of pain.”

Once healed, he turned to the college for the upgrading courses to help him develop the skills he needs to find a job.

“We are there because we have to do these things to go on in life,” he said.

Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson replied to KTW by email with his responses to the press conference: “Upfront, non-repayable adult upgrading grants are available for low-income students to cover the cost of tuition and other educationrelated expenses such as supplies, textbooks, transportation and childcare.

“Grants for half the cost of tuition are also available for students with an income of 10 per cent above the income threshold. In anticipation of increased demand, the annual budget has increased by 33 per cent to $7.6 million.

“The income threshold for a single person is $23,637 and the income threshold for a family of three is $36,192.

“Post-secondary institutions were given the option to start charging tuition for adult upgrading courses beginning Jan. 1, 2015.

“Tuition is not mandatory and implementation is expected to vary by institution.”

Chamber award finalists announced STAFF REPORTER

jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce saw a record number of nominations for the annual Business Excellence Awards.

Three finalists for each of the 17 award categories were announced Wednesday at an event hosted by Kamloops Ford Lincoln.

There were 509 nominations in total, an increase of more than 50 from last year.

“It has progressed up every year,” said Steve Earl, president of the chamber’s board of directors.

“It really speaks to the talent and the commitment in the Kamloops business community that that many businesses were nominated. It’s really a recognition of your hard work and it’s something that you will be able to carry forward when you are talking about promoting your business, that someone else in the community has recognized the work you do and taken the time and the effort to nominate you for one of the awards.”

New this year is an award for Employer of the Year, with NRI Distribution, Save On Foods and Urban Systems Ltd. leading the nominations.

“We’re really happy to introduce it to recognize the people who work within the businesses in the community as well,” Earl said. “We have so many terrific employers and this is really about how those businesses take care of their people.”

A 48-person independent selection committee will research and interview each finalist to determine the winners, who will be announced at the Business Excellence Awards Gala on Oct. 24.

“We really feel we are the voice of business in Kamloops and this is a chance for us to get the recognition out there that so many of our businesses deserve,” Earl said.

Tickets for the Business Excellence Awards Gala are avail-

able online at kamloopschamber.ca or by calling 250-372-7722.

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

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 100-plus business owners honoured last night at the 2015 Kamloops This Week Readers’ Choice Awards. The event at the DoubleTree Hilton was this newspaper’s way of saluting the best in business as voted on by our loyal readers. The number of nominations was staggering and proves once again KTW readers are passionate about which Tournament Capital companies they patronize.

Start thinking about nominations for the 2016 Readers’ Choice Awards — they will arrive sooner than you think.

NOT: The schedule-makers for Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

It remains a bit baffling that the Conservative leader is supposed to be in Kamloops on Monday, yet no details will be released publicly until the day before.

Where? When? Why? Nobody can know until right before the event. Why the cloak-and-dagger routine? NDP Leader Tom Mulcair’s time and date and place was well-publicized long before he arrived, as will, we suspect, that of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and Green Leader Elizabeth May if and when they visit the city.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: Simon Fraser University alumni Marina Elliott and the team of researchers who have unearthed a monumental find in a South African cave — bones that may be the remains of a previously unknown species of hominin, the evolutionary group that led to humans who walk the Earth today. Coming across a possible founding member of the human race is astonishing and may change much that we believe we know of our origins.

Kind of makes this election business rather quaint, don’t you think?

Cupello’s city stereotype

A

Labour Relations arbitrator’s decision has shone a light on how the City of Kamloops had, allegedly, breached its contract with its union. It has also reinforced the stereotype of unionized city workers being almost impossible to fire, regardless of how inept they are at doing their job.

The employee in question, Joe Cupello, was fired by the city for lying about doing his job.

According to the Labour Relations Board of B.C. arbitration decision, Cupello works in the city’s parks departments, making sure the green space in Kamloops is clean.

In March 2014, Cupello ticked off a work sheet, claiming to have cleaned a number of parks as part of his daily duty.

In fact, Cupello had not cleaned those parks.

If claiming to have done work he had not done was not bad enough, arbitrator Richard Diebolt noted Cupello added a lie to the lie by falsely claiming he accidentally ticked off the work sheet.

“I have also concluded that the assertion of potential mistake was itself a somewhat dishonest attempt to avoid accountability,” Diebolt said in his ruling.

In addition to essentially defrauding the taxpayers of Kamloops by intentionally avoiding doing a job he is paid to do, the arbitration hearing noted Cupello had four previous incidents of misconduct on his city employment file.

Despite all of the above, which to anyone possessing common sense would justify immediate dismissal, Cupello will continue to draw money from taxpayers via city hall because, in the opinion of the arbitrator, the city did not follow closely enough the collective agreement with

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 900.

In the contract between the city and CUPE, article 12 addresses discipline, discharge and suspension. The contract states an employee with seniority may only be dismissed with just cause, under which lying about doing work that was not done would seem to fall.

The contract states a supervisor planning to interview an employee for disciplinary purposes must notify the employee in advance so the employee can contact a union shop steward to join the employee in the interview. The contract does not specify a time frame when it refers to notification “in advance.”

Once the employer decides there is just cause for dismissal, the firing cannot come into effect until the employee has been notified and a period of 48 hours has elapsed.

According to arbitrator Diebolt, the city failed to give Cupello proper notice about the disciplinary meeting that ended in him being fired.

Again, what is proper notice?

The contract between the city and union does not spell out a specific time frame between giving an employee notice and conducting the interview.

Diebolt also ruled the city

wrongly suggested the shop steward who should attend, adding the steward did little in the meeting to assist Cupello.

Again, article 12(a) of the city/ union contract states: “Where a supervisor intends to interview an employee for disciplinary purposes, the supervisor shall so notify the employee of the purpose of the interview in advance in order that the employee may contact his/her steward to be present at the interview.”

Perhaps the city erred in suggesting to Cupello the name of a shop steward, but the contract clearly states the onus is on the union employee to contact his or her shop steward, regardless of any suggestion from the employer.

And, whether that shop steward is effective or inept is a matter for the union to address.

In the end, Cupello’s firing was overturned and he again has his job — along with lost wages, benefits and seniority. His revised penalty was a 30-day suspension without pay.

There are far too many excellent city employees to have this case tarnish them as a group.

But, this case will indeed shine a nasty light on a union that would defend an indefensible act. Those employees, the ones who actually work to keep this city humming, should be disgusted by this situation. This matter should also concern taxpayers who work long and hard in a never-ending fight to keep up with constant increases in taxes and services.

It should gall taxpayers even more considering the employee caught romancing the canine has a job that many would desire, one that includes a solid wage, enviable hours (7-3/8-4), a fantastic benefits and pension plan and, apparently, an immunity to being fired. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

KILL ARTSCENTRE PROJECT NO ROOM FOR We don’t know what the next MISINFORMATION “year or decade will bring.

Editor: Isn’t it ironic that, in a time of technical recession, two of three federal political parties promising to balance budgets and reduce taxes for the working stiff — because they know the middle class is overtaxed, world resource prices are falling through the floor and everyone screaming the country’s infrastructure is rusted out — our city council continues to try to foist on us a $90-millionplus debt that can only be described as nice to have?

If mayor and council were in touch with constituents, their decision to forge ahead with the performing-arts centre (PAC) referendum following so closely on the heels of a gruelling federal election and the snowstorm of economic bad news we have had shows they have nothing but contempt for the average taxpayer.

Maybe they are counting on voter fatigue and the expectation of a high turnout of those who will directly benefit from the spending?

Apart from one family, I have neither heard nor seen a performing-

arts special interest group actively donating money toward the cost of the PAC. It is an interesting contrast to the tens of thousands of dollars raised by Westsyde’s Development Society to help fund Kamloops’ kids water park at Centennial Park.

I note Mayor Peter Milobar plans to spend another $30,000 educating us on the benefits of the PAC. He is also an active cheerleader for various arts and entertainment groups who will use and benefit from this edifice.

During normal times, I could chalk this up to politicians doing us a favour because we are too obtuse or unsophisticated to understand what’s good for us.

Not today.

Not with our sister province plunging into huge deficits, not with federal politicians like Justin Trudeau and Tom Mulcair promising huge spending without tax increases — are we really stupid enough to

believe that? — not with special-interest groups successfully blocking virtually every effort to expand the tax base.

City council, by bad luck or sheer intransigence, is pushing a project of which its time simply has not come.

We don’t know what the next year or decade will bring but most expect the economy worsen or remain anemic for a long time.

The boom times Alberta experienced in the past decade are unlikely to be repeated.

Now is the time to consolidate, not launch white elephants.

At best, a small percentage of the population will use a PAC. Even fewer will use it when they haven’t the money to pay bloated property taxes in tough economic times.

Kill or postpone this project now and save us the cost of more studies and referendums.

Will you vote for the candidate or the party in the Oct. 19 federal election?

Crown wants 15 years for Cusworth’s killer CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The small-town girl liked to wear gold rings on one hand, silver on the other. She loved grilled cheese sandwiches, ice water and milk, made great crepes for her parents and played guitar.

The parents of Jennifer Cusworth, killed and left in a ditch more than 20 years ago, gave a vivid portrait of their daughter in a victim impact statement yesterday at a sentencing hearing for her killer in a Kamloops courtroom.

A jury found Neil Snelson guilty of manslaughter in B.C. Supreme Court in June.

“We love you and always will,” Jean and Terry Cusworth said in unison at the end of their 20-minute statement to B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley.

“We’ll miss you for the rest of our lives.”

Cusworth was found dead after attending a Kelowna party in 1993.

Crown lawyer Iain Currie is asking Snelson be sentenced to 15 years in prison, the same sentence he was given after his first trial in 2011.

Defence lawyer Richard Fowler argued for a sentence of 10 to 12 years.

Fowler said the 15-year sentence proposed by the Crown is fit only if Dley finds beyond a reasonable doubt that Cusworth was killed in connection with a sexual assault.

Jennifer’s parents spoke for more than 20 minutes about their daughter, reading in part from earlier letters they’d written when police

were still looking for a suspect in the cold case. From the prisoner’s box, Snelson appeared to read along and turn pages in the statement.

The couple painted a loving picture of Jennifer, a young college student studying for exams before she was killed.

“God, how I wanted to hold her one more time,” Jean said.

This is the second time Snelson has been found guilty and sentenced.

The earlier verdict was successfully appealed and a new trial ordered.

Cusworth was strangled and suffered skull fractures from being struck in the head seven to eight times, a forensic pathologist testified during the trial. The Crown tendered evidence showing Snelson’s DNA matched semen found on Cusworth’s body.

Court heard Cusworth and Snelson had been at the same house party the day before her body was found.

A pickup truck similar to Snelson’s was also seen by a witness near where Cusworth’s body was found. Snelson was questioned by police in 1993, but wasn’t charged until detectives revisited the investigation in 2009.

Fowler said Snelson’s wife left him after his first conviction. He is estranged from three of his four children, aged 17, 16, 15 and 10.

“Mr. Snelson continues to deny responsibility for the offence,” Fowler said.

Snelson will be sentenced at a later date.

emember the performing-arts centre?

After a quiet summer and with less than two months before it goes to referendum, the $90-million project is back in the spotlight next week at Kamloops city council.

Barb Berger, recreation, social development and culture manager for the city, said council will get a look at the business case for the theatre, its potential impact on the local economy, firmer cost estimates and a design that will go past the mass of coloured building blocks previously shown to the public.

The new report, which should be released online late today as part of council’s regular agenda, won’t have the final design of the centre, but what Berger calls a “potential picture” of the building.

“When the referendum is through and successful, we would then of course be going to tender for design,” said Berger.

“And, you’re really giving whoever wins that opportunity — they will create what it’s going to look like.”

The referendum is set for Nov. 7 and will ask whether residents want to borrow up to $49-million for the centre and a 350-stall underground parkade.

In addition to that, the city plans to raise property taxes by one per cent for the next two years, which would generate $1.9 million per year by 2017, and set aside up to $3.5 million in gambling and gas tax money per year.

If built, the arts centre will include a 1,200-seat main-stage theatre, a 350-seat black box theatre as well as rehearsal space.

While Kamloops hasn’t seen a Yes committee spring up yet, as it did for the Tournament Capital Centre referendum in 2003, several of the project’s backers said they expect this report to jumpstart the conver-

If approved at referendum, a new performing-arts centre will be built at the site of the former Kamloops Daily News building.

sation around the arts centre.

Mayor Peter Milobar said he’s aware of several groups who plan to campaign for or against the centre, who haven’t yet made their public debut.

“I think some of them were just waiting until this report was done,” he said. “I would anticipate we’ll see a lot of momentum starting this next week here.”

Though little public discussion has taken place on the centre in recent months — letters to newspaper editors aside — Milobar maintains interest and support is strong, and moving at a pace similar to past referendums.

“I don’t know why to people it may feel like there’s been nothing going on,” he said.

“I think it’s because it’s been fairly well received in the community, which means there hasn’t been a large, concerted no group out there, so it makes it seem quieter than it is.”

The project picked up some new support yesterday, ahead of the report, when the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association announced it is backing the project with “unanimous support,” after a vote from its board of directors.

The board said in a release it thinks the project will bring more money downtown, as well as new businesses than

can use its parkade.

KCBIA general manager Gay Pooler said the organization will focus its efforts on getting information to its members, and getting out the vote among those who work downtown.

She also predicted Kamloopsians can expect more arts-centre action in the weeks ahead.

“That’s when the campaign will kick off,” Pooler said.

What could be the first public debate on the project is also coming up soon.

Former city councillor John O’Fee will moderate a discussion on the arts centre organized by the Kamloops Voters Association, as part of this year’s Culture Days program.

O’Fee said he’s hoping to offer a respectful debate on the project, but one where those for or against the project will have to answer questions about their views.

“If someone says we can’t afford it, I’ll say ‘how so?’ I think that’s a fair question as a moderator,” he said.

“If the city had a long track record of failure that would be one thing, I suppose, but it hasn’t. I’m not going to try to steer the debate, but I think it’s fair to ask the questions.”

The discussion runs Saturday, Sept. 26 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the TRU International Building.

yan Glanville is a winner.

No matter the jersey he was wearing — a college sweater at UBC for the Thunderbirds or amateur uniforms in the Vancouver Metro Soccer League and the Pacific Coast Soccer League (PCSL) — success has never been far behind for the 31-year-old.

Now, joining a WolfPack club that went 2-8-2 in its inaugural season in the CIS, Glanville is preparing to show Thompson Rivers University what it takes.

“It’s about getting these guys in that mindset — making sure they have the right habits and they’re getting in the culture of winning,” he told KTW.

LOWEST COST OF OWNERSHIP OF ANY FULL SIZED PICKUP!**

“Hopefully I can provide some light into what it takes and engrain this culture, because it is a mind shift for some of those guys who haven’t experienced success at that level.”

Glanville and the WolfPack will open the Canada West regular season this weekend at Hillside Stadium against the Trinity Western Spartans tomorrow and the Fraser Valley Cascades on Sunday. Kickoff for both matches is 2 p.m.

A native of Williams Lake, Glanville was a major off-season acquisition for WolfPack head coach John Antulov and brings with him an impressive resume highlighted by goals and championships.

It’s about getting these guys in the mindset — making sure they have the right habits and they’re getting in the culture of winning.

CIS contender. He went on to win a national championship with the club.

Following two seasons with the Thunderbirds, he left university soccer and began playing for West Van FC of the Vancouver Metro Soccer League — one of the top

amateur leagues in the country — winning multiple league and playoff titles, as well as a Provincial Cup championship.

And, in the year and a half since moving to the Tournament Capital, Glanville helped the Kamloops Heat to the PCSL final in 2014 and was second in league scoring in 2015.

It’s hard to imagine Antulov could have found a better offseason recruit.

“I kind of lucked out on that one,” the head coach said with a laugh.

“One of the things we lacked last year, obviously, was offensive punch — we weren’t able to score a lot of goals.

“To be able to add Ryan, in conjunction with [recruit] Mitch Popadynetz, it gives us those options and will put defences under pressure.”

2015 CHEV SILVERADO 1500 X/CAB 4X4

It’s no surprise then, that Glanville and Popadynetz were among the team leaders in scoring during the WolfPack’s 5-1-2 pre-season — Glanville led the team with six markers and Popadynetz netted a pair.

But, the addition of the dynamic duo appears to be opening up space for those around them — after scoring just five goals in 12 matches last season, the WolfPack notched 17 goals in this year’s eight-match pre-season.

Oriol Torres, the Pack’s perennial leader in goals before entering the CIS, struggled to score last season, but had four goals in exhibition play. Defender Corey Wallis added three goals of his own.

Antulov expected the trickle-down effect — he said Popadynetz and Glanville are the type of players who can create

of the WolfPack for the foreseeable future — not just in tenure, but in the soccer culture at TRU. “You see a lot of the Kamloops guys that were part of the PCSL when we made it all the way to the final of the PCSL championship — it’s something where some of these guys are getting a taste of it [winning] and they like it,” he said.

“Hopefully, we can build off that and make some noise this season.”

Radu second star

Jaydene Radu received second star honours from the Canada West Universities Athletic Association this week, thanks, in part, to a twogoal performance in Manitoba.

A forward for the Thompson Rivers University women’s soccer team, Radu scored twice in the WolfPack’s first victory of the 2015 Canada West campaign, a 3-1 defeat of the Winnipeg Wesmen.

TRU is 1-1 on the year, having lost its season opener to the Manitoba Bisons 4-0. They continue the season on the road this weekend, in Edmonton to face the Alberta Pandas and Prince George to face the UNBC Timberwolves.

Storm start tonight ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The roster is set and the Kamloops Storm are ready to embark on another season of KIJHL action.

Kamloops gets its regular season underway tonight in Golden against the host Rockets. The team will be in Invermere tomorrow to face the Columbia Valley Rockies.

The Storm made the final adjustments to their roster earlier this week. Changes can still be made, but Kamloops head coach Ed Patterson is pleased with his group.

“Early on, I love what I see,” Patterson told KTW. “The team speed is great, I’m glad to see guys in the locker-room interacting.

“The rest of the stuff will come.

We have 21 rookies. The compete and knowledge will come, hopefully sooner rather than later, and we just have to be patient.”

Kamloops will open the home portion of its schedule next weekend, facing off against the Revelstoke Grizzlies and the defending KIJHL champion Kimberley Dynamiters.

Patterson said with the KIJHL’s brief pre-season, this weekend is as much a learning experience as anything.

“We just want to see signs that everyone is committed to each other moving forward,” the coach said.

“No matter who wins or loses this weekend, it’s really irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

“Things will look a lot different a month from now.”

Water Conservation Tips from the 2015 ECOSmart Team

With the level 4 drought rating in our community, the City of Kamloops will be reducing water use by 30% in our parks. We encourage all residents to decrease their water usage as well.

Level 4 means conditions are extremely dry and that water supply is insufficient to meet socio-economic and ecosystem needs. Water levels in streams, rivers and lakes are at record lows and are having a negative impact on fish and ecosystems.

Water conservation is everyone’s responsibility. Here are a few tips to increase your water conservation efforts: • Reduce how long you irrigate your lawn by 30% - For example, if you normally water for 60 minutes, only water for 40 minutes • Irrigate during the coolest part of the day to prevent evaporation - early morning hours are best • Leave your grass 2-3 inches tall • Leave grass clippings on your lawn to retain moisture • Don’t use your toilet as a garbage can • Take showers in 5 minutes or less

something out of nothing.

Glanville will be expected to continue to lead the club into the regular season, the figurative straw that stirs the drink of the WolfPack offence.

“A lot of these attacking pieces were there but bringing me in is a way to make sure these guys have the opportunities to score and generate offence, just playing off me and me being able to provide some strength and size up front,” Glanville said.

“If there’s chances there, I can definitely finish. I’ve been able to score goals in all the leagues I’ve been in. I definitely can help out in that department.

“But, I think the bigger thing is that I’m able to get some of these key pieces involved that will be part of the attack — Oriol Torres, Mitch. Those two guys could be very deadly with the right players around them.”

There’s the potential for Glanville to play three seasons with the WolfPack, though he joked he might need a hip replacement should he still be taking the pitch with the Pack at 34.

Regardless of how many seasons he dons the WolfPack’s black and orange though, Glanville wants to be a major piece

For Matthew Hans, the Under-19 World Lacrosse Challenge is about more than a sport.

It’s about a way of life.

“To me, and to most First Nations people, lacrosse is everything.

will get to play against teams from across the world, but also because it will give Canada’s First Nations people an opportunity to showcase the game they created.

“It’s a very cool experience, to be able to see that this is the way it [lacrosse] started and this is the way it will keep continuing on the First Nations side,” he said.

“It has grown so much. This is the first event of the U19 World Lacrosse Challenge and it will be really cool to see the growth in the game, from being one sport built by the First Nations people to grow across the world.”

Playing in the Six Nations, the largest reserve in Canada, will make the experience all the more special.

Located at the southern tip of Ontario, Six Nations of the Grand River was formed in 1784 and has ties to the birth of lacrosse.

“Lacrosse is everything there — like it is for all First Nations people,” the 18-yearold said. It will be his first opportunity to play on the reserve.

“From what I’ve heard, lacrosse is probably the biggest thing on their land. Day by day, people are playing lacrosse, living

the life of lacrosse. It’s just going to be a cool experience to get over there and see what it’s like and how it affects people day by day.”

Hans is expected to be the starting goaltender for the Squamish Nation. A product of the Kamloops Minor Lacrosse Association, he played for the Kamloops Venom of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League in 2014, before making the move to the Lower Mainland to play for the Burnaby Lakers of the British Columbia Junior A Lacrosse

League last season.

He’s feeling the pressure in advance of what he said will be the biggest event he has ever played in.

But, nervous or not, he’s excited — excited to get action underway and excited show to the world what he and the rest of Canada’s First Nations people can do in the lacrosse box.

“Being able to show my true side, my First Nation side, playing for an all-FirstNations team with the Squamish Nation, that will be really cool,” he said.

Broncos eye Rams in Langley The Kamloops Broncos will return to B.C. Football Conference action tomorrow, taking the gridiron at McLeod Stadium against the host Langley Rams.

Kamloops enters the game coming off a bye week and boasting a 4-2 record. The Rams are 3-3.

The game will be Kamloops’ biggest of the season, with the possibility of a home playoff game on the line.

The Broncos must beat the Rams for

only the second time in team history and do so by more than nine points to secure a points-differential advantage and keep hopes of a playoff game at Hillside Stadium alive.

The Rams defeated the Broncos in Kamloops earlier this season, 25-17.

Kamloops will play the Okanagan Sun in Kelowna next weekend, before returning home to face the Valley Huskers of Chilliwack on Sept. 21.

Still here after 45 years The Bamboo Inn located in The Brock Shopping Centre has been a fixture in Brocklehurst and Kamloops for that matter since 1972.

The longest serving restaurant in Kamloops has been dishing some of the tastiest Chinese food to their customers and it's no fluke they've been around so long.

Cosmo Li, owner operator and his brother Wilson started their venture in the restaurant business with the idea that North Kamloops needed a Chinese eatery and it proved correct. Cosmo, a Psych nurse at the Tranquille Institution in 1972 and his brother Wilson, a chef from Hong Kong developed a take out only store front that quickly grew into a full service restaurant.

Theft of diesel fuel is continuing in the City and nearby areas. The latest occurred on Monday, September 28th sometime overnight. A business on the 700 block of Mount Paul Way was the target, this time 300 litres of diesel fuel was taken. With the high cost of diesel, this is not only expensive to the owners of the vehicle, it is time consuming to the contractors who are scheduled to work that day to replace the stolen fuel.

Last week a suspect vehicle was seen in the area where two other thefts of fuel took place, the vehicle was a white Ford extended cab pickup truck, with a red “Tidy Tank” in the back. This truck, with the tank is more than capable in carrying the amount of fuel that was taken. In each of the thefts, the theft was visible to the travelling public and someone may have seen something suspicious.

If you have any information on these thefts or may have seen this Ford Truck late at night in the light industrial areas, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will never have to go to court or give a statement.

China a factor in NHL’s Olympic future STEPHEN WHYNO

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Even though no official decision has been made about NHL participation in future Olympics, China is definitely on the NHL’s radar.

After Pyeongchang, Korea, hosts in 2018, Beijing is on the docket for the 2022 Winter Olympics. Opening up the Chinese market to hockey could be a lucrative opportunity for the NHL and NHL Players’ Association.

“Obviously China is an important market,’’ commissioner Gary Bettman said.

“It’s a big one. If you can influence one per cent of the population you’re doing well, so obviously we’re going to need to take a look at what we think the

overall impact on the game would be by participating.’’

Bettman and NHLPA executive director Don Fehr are careful to say they haven’t had any formal discussions about going back to the Olympics. It’s no secret the International Olympic Committee and International Ice Hockey Federation would love nothing better than for the NHL to be back to headline a premier event.

During and after the Sochi Olympics, which were considered an immense success given the play and how well the players were treated, Pyeongchang was still an unknown.

It still is, but Beijing getting to host in 2022 may have changed the game.

Canada to play Venezuela for Olympic berth

NHL participation at the Olympic Games was a huge success in Vancouver and Russia, but is an unknown quantity for the 2018 Games in Korea.

Two straight Games in Asia, and on the heels of the first Chinese player being selected in the NHL draft, China could be the next target as a hockey market.

During the public dialogue, Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly have pointed out the Olympics don’t bring the NHL any tangible financial benefit. It helps the IOC

and IIHF plenty, but the NHL and NHLPA would like more for stopping their season in February.

“The toughest thing about the Olympics is obviously it’s during the season, you’ve got to fly to wherever the event is, and that’s difficult,’’ Canadian defenceman Drew Doughty said. “Coming back from Russia last year was, I thought,

very, very hard.’’

Sidney Crosby said scheduling isn’t easy, but he and other NHL players have made it clear they want to go back.

“Obviously we all know the impact of the Olympics and how everyone gets behind it,’’ Crosby said.

“It’s a great brand of hockey and seeing the best go against each other is pretty unique.’’

MEXICO CITY — Team Canada and Kamloops’ Kelly Olynyk need just one more victory to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Canada beat the Dominican Republic 120-103 on Wednesday night to finish first and will play Venezuela in a semifinal today at the FIBA Americas.

Meanwhile, Mexico overcame a 15-point deficit to hand Argentina its first loss of the Olympic qualifier, 95-83, in the last game of the second round Wednesday.

The Mexicans earned the No. 2 seed and will face Argentina again Friday night in the other semifinal.

The semifinal winners will get the two Americas’ berths into the 2016 Olympics. The losers will play in the 2016 FIBA Olympic qualifying tournament.

Canada won its seventh straight game as Cory Joseph scored 17 points to lead a balanced attack.

Anthony Bennett and Nik Stauskas each scored 14 points and Olynyk had nine rebounds and 13 points.

“We did the job in a tough day because we played an emotional game last night,’’ said Canada coach Jay Triano, whose team beat Mexico on Tuesday night.

“The legs were tired and we needed to turn it around quickly against a team that plays unconventional basketball. I’m happy with the win and we have 48 hours to prepare for the big game.’’

Canada is trying to qualify for its first Olympic games since Sydney in 2000.

DAVID ALLEN BOSSERT On Wednesday, September 2, 2015, it was with great sorrow that David passed peacefully away, after a valiant battle with cancer.

David is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Rose, and children Jason (Deanna) and Kelsey (Tom), and grandchildren Aspen, Willow and Jasper.

We are saddened to announce the passing of our good friend Kevin Hare in August of 2015.

Kevin was born February 5, 1956 in Ontario. Like a lot of others he ventured to BC to find adventure and work.

Kevin was the man who never had anything other than a smile on his face.

Through the hardest times he never stopped smiling.

If a friend needed help Kevin was the first man in line to lend a hand.

Kevin could often be found on one of the local fishing lakes trying for the big one.

HAYWOOD - FARMER Betty (nee Wilkinson)

December 1, 1951 - September 2, 2015

Predeceased by his parents Barbara and Herb, survived by brothers Howard (Teresita), Ted (Mary-Elena) and sister Benita, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Born and raised in Kamloops, Dave excelled at every job he undertook. His greatest passion was running Boom Truck, working on hundreds of projects all over the province. He had the greatest times out of town seeing this beautiful province and getting paid to do it. He gained many close friends through work, and his world famous run-aways will be missed. His spare time was spent cooking, travelling, fishing and swimming, with Ewok and Summer in tow.

Dave spent his life laughing, dreaming, working and scheming. His quick wit, sense of humour, brutal honesty, and no-frills opinion will sorely be missed by all especially by his closest of friends.

A heartfelt thank you to all the doctors, care givers, and friends who were by his side until the end. He was a beloved Son, Brother, Father, Grandfather, Uncle, Friend, and Boss.

A ‘garden-party’ will take place in the spring of 2016, with details to be further announced.

We hope that the wind is always at your back and that your landing net is always in use.

From all your British Columbia friends.

Cremation arrangements are entrusted to Schoening Funeral Service.

May 30,1922 - Aug. 28, 2015 From her iconic spot on the front porch at Farmers’ Bull-pasture, Green Lake, Betty oversaw four generations of her large, loving family. From the countless beach activities to chatting about the top story on BBC News, she was always at the centre. Family and friends came daily for tea with cookies, looking to catch up and engage in lively conservations. She offered sage advice to the youngsters (for 52 consecutive summers) and was fond of discussions about world politics, current events and the daily weather forecast with her much quoted, “It’s clearing in the west.”

Forever by her side was her partner in life, Frank her husband of 68 years. She was surrounded by her 4 children; Sally (Bob), Frances (Rob), Cathie (Rudi), Stewart (Diana) and 11 grandchildren; Teresa (Jeremy), Karla (Bruce), Patrick, Lydia (John), Riley, Tyler, Devin ( Kelly), Lucas, Carson, Maxine and Jaclyn. She also had 6 great grandchildren: Rebecca, Mattea, Melissa, Rachel, Seppi, and Lorelai. She had 2 brothers; Bill and Chuck and a sister, Evelyn Thompson.

Born in Victoria on May 30, 1922, Betty resided in Vancouver until she joined the Navy (WRENS) in 1943 and was stationed in Halifax and Glasgow. She returned to the Flying U Guest Ranch, owned by her father Charlie Wilkinson where she met Frank. On Dec. 4, 1946 they married and moved to the Green Lake Meadows. With a huge adjustment, the city girl transitioned to ranch life and the community while raising a family.

In 1961 another new chapter began with a move to Vancouver when Frank became a teacher. For 20 years Betty was a busy Mom who also swam regularly, attended harness races, belonged to a bridge club and learned to play golf. A much remembered highlight of hers was the trip she and Frank took around the world in 1979, with a long stop in South Africa.

Retirement to the Bullpasture in 1984 brought more enjoyment of golf, fishing, card games, reading and her favourite activity, swimming. Winters were spent in their condo in Abbotsford with her beloved pool.

Her commitment to family life was inspiring, her love for those around her was endless and unwavering and she met life challenges with a positive determination. Betty was a lifetime lover of words, listening to audio book stories, even to this summer, showcasing her voracity of reading and life.

A farewell celebration of life, with an informal tea to share memories, will be held at 70 Mile Community Hall on Sept. 19, 2015 at 2 p.m.

In keeping with Betty’s wishes cremation has taken place.

Memorial donations may be made to the CNIB 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family care of www.100milefuneralservice.com

EDITH WATKINS Celebrating the Life of

JUNE ELIZABETH PAIGE January 31, 1939 ~ January 12, 2015 Please join us to share some fond memories, some laughter and some warm conversation.

Saturday, September 19, 2015 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

681 Shaver Road (bottom of the Barriere Legion)

EDI WATKINS blessed us with her presence on April 27, 1952 in Prince Albert, not far from her childhood home of Wakaw, Saskatchewan.

After a 3 and a half year battle with cancer (multiple myeloma), she left all those who loved her for her ‘special place’ at the tender age of 63 years on September 3, 2015. Born EDITH GAIL ZUK, she was always known simply as EDI. She married MIKE on October 14, 1972 (Thanksgiving weekend) in Kelowna.

She was the daughter of Morris Zuk and Olga Zuk (nee Bilyk) - both deceased, sister to Morris Jr. (deceased) and Marian (Saskatoon), Kenn Zuk (Trail), Wayne and Carole Zuk and Rob and Brenda Zuk (all of Saskatoon). She was also Aunt Edi to Tracey, Tim, Cristi, Brodie, Hallie and Meghan. She was also sister-in-law to Wayne and Lou Watkins (Brentwood Bay), Chris and Kathy Watkins (Port Alberni), and Dawn and Red Lawrence (Duncan) and a wonderful aunt to all their children.

Edi and Mike had no children of their own but, every year, were blessed with 20–30 different kids whom she nurtured and taught to the highest standard possible throughout her career in the Kamloops and Penticton school districts. Teaching was her passion and her calling (her mom wanted her to be a nurse – she said ‘not’). Of her teachings, reading and music were her 2 specialties. She instilled a love of learning to her students and taught them to strive to do, and be, the best they could be. Her undergraduate Bachelor’s degree began at the University of Saskatchewan and was completed at the University of Victoria. Already an extraordinary teacher, she enrolled at Gonzaga University at the age of 50 to complete her Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction which she completed ‘with distinction’ in 2003. Her chosen program shows that she did not enroll to become an administrator, but rather to be an even better classroom educator than she already was.

She loved her career. She loved her ’little blue house’ and the garden and new patio we built a few years ago. She loved her family and friends. She loved to travel - Australia, San Francisco (honeymoon), Japan, Arizona, Mexico (many times), Montreal (Rotary World Congress), Holland/Belgium/England, Central America/Columbia and Quebec/Maritimes/Boston areas on cruises. She loved to eat good food and good wine in the company of friends and family. Edi loved her ‘little blue Miata’. She also loved her ‘MIKE’ for which he is eternally grateful. So just who was Edi? This is what her family and friends have been writing and saying about her ...

Edi was an incredibly giving person to anyone and everyone–without discrimination. She was extremely friendly, strong willed, hardworking, kind, compassionate, witty, energetic and positive to all. Edi was extremely inspirational to her students and colleagues. She practiced her educational craft to an extremely high standard in Penticton and Kamloops for 37 years. Edi was truly a special and amazing woman. She was a wonderful person and a beautiful, dedicated, loving wife to Mike for almost 43 wonderful years.

She will be greatly missed by all those whose lives she touched. Edi, my love…….Rest in Peace! As we said to each other countless times ... I will love you forever, and a day!

In accordance with Edi’s last wishes ... No flowers, please! In lieu of flowers, please donate blood to the Red Cross and/or register as an organ donor.

A ‘Celebration of Life’ will be held on October 11, 2015 (Thanksgiving weekend) at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre between 1 - 4 PM. Please bring your stories and memories to share with others.

Condolences may be directed to the family through “Every Life Tells A Story” www.providencefuneralhomes.com. 250-493-1774

SYLVIA LUM With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Sylvia Lum (née Hansen). In the presence of her family, Sylvia passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 8, 2015 at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home at the age of 76.

Sylvia was born near Young, Saskatchewan on March 3, 1935 and grew up in Prince George. After graduating from Nursing in Kamloops she worked at the Irving Clinic and Royal Inland Hospital.

Sylvia and Robert met during her training and they were married soon after. By 1970, they had two sons and she left nursing to raise the boys. While she kept Robert and the boys in line, Sylvia took on a variety of activities including seamstress, designing clothes for her family, bridal dresses and figure skating and ballet costumes, school volunteer, knitter, gardener.

Sylvia returned to nursing once her boys were teenagers and got her dream job working at Ponderosa Lodge. She loved working with her “nursing buddies” and residents, describing it as the best job anyone could hope for.

One of her passions was the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association. She loved working with other volunteers to support local soccer – often meeting with coaches, parents and referees over coffee, home made cookies and vinatarta at her dining room table.

After 15 years, she retired from Ponderosa and settled into “life after work” with Robert.

She took great joy in sewing, quilting with her sister Elayne, knitting, needlepoint, walking, aqua fit, and travelling.

Sylvia is survived by her loving husband and dance partner of 53 years - Robert Lum, sons Steven and Trevor (Julie), granddaughter Baylee, brother Bruce (Bev) Hansen, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and many other “buddies”. She was predeceased by her brother Jon and sister Elayne.

Our sincerest thank you to all the staff at the Hospice for their loving support and professionalism. Thank you Dr. Vlahos and staff and Sylvia’s Interior Health Care Nurses for your care.

A celebration of life will be held at Chartwells Retirement Community (628 Tranquille Road) on Saturday, September 12, 2015 from 1:30-3:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, Sylvia requested donations to be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home.

What does prayer have to do with the election?

T

he writ dropped more than a month ago and the campaign is in full swing.

And now, for the faithful politicos and believers in “God keep our land,” the longer road and wait until Oct. 19 promises to be a weary one, if not sleepless.

Most Canadians vote party-wise but, perhaps, a small minority care or even dare to check the individual candidate’s profile as to his or her moral or spiritual pedigree.

Honestly, I had my candidate and party picked prior to the writ dropping.

As a campaign volunteer, I now await on tiptoe to expedite the person’s victory, even with some prayer.

Did I hear readers bewilderingly moan at this stage, shrugging at what prayer has to do with sending a person to Ottawa?

FAITH

Let’s analyze what, indeed, it has.

The Bible’s injunction to pray for leaders does precede even before those leaders climb up the parliamentary chairs.

It urges us to invoke blessing upon their steps preparatory to the climb.

Notwithstanding dirty politics our nation might have been victim to over the years, the past two or so years have been particularly besmirching.

soul searching before casting our ballots might be required in order to check out a candidate’s moral/ethical, nay even, spiritual antecedents.

Can Canada afford a sleeping moral majority waiting to be loosed?

I figure it can and should.

Is it time for the need for a restoration of spiritual values in public life?

Doing our own things and the resultant spiral of vicious degenerative cycles of brokenness in society emanate from society’s failure to understand man’s need for God. The right of religious people of all faiths to influence Canada’s political process can still slow down, if not prevent, erosion of godly ethics so essential to democracy.

Seeking God’s kingdom and righteousness was a slogan of Jesus earlier in his ministry on Earth.

When Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God, he was not referring to the general sovereignty of God over nature and history, but to that specific rule over his own people which he himself had inaugurated and which begins in anybody’s life when he humbles himself.

It is not clear why

Jesus distinguished between his kingdom and righteousness as twin but separate objects of priority in godly quest.

God’s rule is a righteous rule and, in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught us to hunger and thirst for righteousness, to be willing to be persecuted for it and to exhibit a righteousness greater than that of the phony lawkeepers, namely the Pharisees.

Then we are told to seek first the righteousness of God, in addition to seeking first the kingdom of God. The difference between the two lies in the fact God’s kingdom exists where he is consciously acknowledged.

To be in his kingdom is synonymous with enjoying his salvation.

But, God’s righteousness is a wider concept than God’s kingdom.

It includes individual and social righteousness as well.

And, because God is righteous, he desires righteousness in every human community, not just in Christian community.

For some years in recent past, Christians looked to politics to save Canada.

We thought the right prime minis-

ter, the right parliament and the right Supreme Court judges would stop abortion, strengthen marriage, create safer communities for single mothers and children and ensure religious rights were respected.

Our motivations were good ones — we wanted to save lives, homes and our nation.

We saw ourselves as heirs to the Christian political tradition that fought for women’s right to vote, end human trafficking and espoused all-round welfare for all.

Now, however, it is time to take stock both politically and spiritually.

Has our political focus produced the desired results?

Things are hardly better.

Social statistics are largely unchanged.

Divorces are growing and more and more children are growing up in singleparent homes.

Thousands of children are in foster care and will never have a permanent home.

More and more Canadians are living in intractable poverty.

Educational achievement is hardly soaring.

We have had great electoral success and marginal

political success.

People of goodwill of all faiths can disagree about income splitting, health-care policies or the war on ISIS. Yet, these disagreements prevent relationships and fellowship.

The time is now to develop greater intimacy with God and follow a way to be humbled in God’s sight by politicians.

Perhaps we would be a better electorate if we eschew red hot politics in order to focus more on practising compassion.

We need to spend more time studying the Sermon on the Mount and less time trying to get people elected.

And, along with that, let us keep our eyes and hearts open in preparation to choose men and women “who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom . . .” (Acts 6:3) to be our servants in Ottawa.

Let labels and affiliations and policy positions melt away in God’s presence.

PROVINCIAL NEWS

Miley Cyrus sounds call against B.C. wolf kill

BACK TO SCHOOL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — It’s not Miley Cyrus’s twerking that’s raising eyebrows in British Columbia but her provocative political dance around the issue of the province’s controversial wolf kill.

The American pop singer has taken to social media, urging fans to sign an online petition originally posted Jan. 15, 2015, calling the helicopter hunt a “tax-payer funded kill program of one of our most iconic species.’’

She said she is “shameless’’ when making changes in a world that at times needs to re-evaluate its morals when dealing with animals.

The petition was posted by Pacific Wild, a non-profit group led by photographer Ian McAllister, one of the key figures in the fight to preserve the Great Bear Rainforest on the central coast.

The group responded by thanking Cyrus on social media for her help.

The provincial government approved the hunt earlier this year in South Selkirks and South Peace regions because it said wolves were preying on caribou herds with declining populations.

Summit Shopping Centre

American pop star Miley Cyrus has taken to social media to condemn B.C. wolf kills and urge her millions of followers to sign an online petition.

Hunters were allowed to shoot as many as 184 wolves but, when the hunt ended months later, the province said less than half the animals had been shot.

NATIONAL NEWS

Syrian crisis forces leaders to confront military, other options MIKE BLANCHFIELD

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Syrian crisis is extracting sharper views from the campaign trail on when and how Canada ought to go to war and what the country should do to ease the suffering of innocent people pouring out of the Middle East.

The foreign policy implications of the violence in Syria and Iraq followed the three federal leaders as their campaigning took them to both coasts and central Canada.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair was unequivocal that Canadian military personnel would be immediately withdrawn from Iraq and Syria this fall — months earlier than

planned — if the NDP wins the Oct. 19 federal election.

Stephen Harper, meanwhile, suggested Canada can and will do more to help Syrian refugees, in the face of mounting public pressure on the Conservative government over the past week.

Harper has been steadfast that accepting more refugees and sending humanitarian assistance to the displaced people in the Middle East is not enough, and that dealing with the root cause of the problem — taking the military fight to Islamic militants responsible for the carnage — is essential.

Justin Trudeau pushed the Liberals squarely into the

middle ground, arguing Canada needs to do more to ease the suffering of refugees, but still has to play a role training the Iraqi fighters to do battle with Islamic militants.

Canada has a halfdozen fighter jets flying bombing missions in Iraq and Syria and several dozen special forces military trainers working with Kurdish fighters in Iraq to fight Islamic militants — a commitment that now extends to March.

Mulcair said the mission falls neither under the umbrella of the United Nations nor NATO and a New Democrat government wants no part of a U.S.led coalition.

It’s a stance that raises questions about the potential future of Canadian foreign policy under what would be the country’s first New Democrat federal government.

“Multilateralism has always been part of the Canadian approach, but this is neither a UN nor a NATO mission,” Mulcair said in Winnipeg.

“This is an American-led mission.

“Canada is free, we have our own foreign policy, we’ll have an independent foreign policy under an NDP government and we will put an end to Canada’s participation in the combat mission in Iraq and Syria.’’

Harper hinted that steps are being taken to speed up refugee resettlement — an issue that has been front and centre in the campaign since the image of three-year-old Alan Kurdi lying dead on a Turkish beach emerged last week.

“The position of this government has been we have been the world leader in refugee resettlement and we intend to do that in a responsible way, a responsible and affordable way for Canadians,’’ Harper said in Prince Edward Island.

hey may be business people, politicians, social agency directors or newspaper publishers in their daily lives — but tomorrow night this year’s 12 Dancing Like the Stars participants will step onto the dance floor at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre and become entertainers.

For months, six pairs of notable Kamloopsians have been practising with dance teachers from around the city to prepare for the second

annual benefit in support of women’s breast health, put on by the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation.

Tickets for the event sold out well in advance and dancers are putting the final polish on their routines and preparing to wow a crowd of approximately 400.

KTW spoke to a few of the participants to find out how they’re preparing for their show-stopping numbers.

TERRY LAKE

Years in the political spotlight haven’t entirely cured the Kamloops-North Thompson MLA’s stage fright as he and wife Lisa prepare to show off their moves on Saturday.

“I’m very nervous,” Lake said. “It’s way outside my comfort zone.

I can get up in front of people and talk about policy, but getting up and dancing in front of people is a whole different matter.”

As minister of health, Lake has had another challenge beyond learning his dance steps — a busy schedule which often takes him outside of Kamloops and away from Dance Gallery instructors Maureen Doogan and Lori Birk.

By participating as a couple, the Lakes were able to avoid the difficulty of trying to schedule around poli-

tics. While they’ve been honing their routine for about four months, in recent weeks “there’s been an exponential increase in the amount of effort and worry we’ve been putting into it,” Lake said.

A few high school dances aside, most of Lake’s footwork has involved the soccer field, not the dance floor.

“When you’re married for so long, you learn to make it kind of look like you know how to dance, but this is completely different,” he said.

And, nerves aside, Lake admits he’s a bit excited to show off his moves.

“It’s such a great cause,” he said, “and people will be very nice

no matter what.”

ALEECE LAIRD

The dance each pair will show off during the event is a closely guarded secret, but there will be plenty of fancy footwork from a classic era to be found in Aleece Laird and Larry Grant’s routine.

“We’ve practiced so much we pretty much have the routine down,” said Laird, the past-president of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce and coowner of Fresh Inc. “We could probably do it in our sleep.

But, it’s kind of, what’s

going to happen the night of?”

She and Grant, a vice-president at HUB International, were both approached by the RIH Foundation to take part in the event, and jumped at the chance to have some fun for a good cause.

With the help of Regina B-Rothbart and Bonnie McLean of Nuance Dance, they’ve built a routine they hope will impress tomorrow. Laird said the experience has been fun, but also a lot of work.

the evening of so a) you don’t want to look unprepared and b) we’re, in essence, representing our dance instructors, who are actually professional dance instructors, so we wanted to make sure we were putting our best foot forward,” she said.

NICKI JAMES

From the moment Mainstreet Clothing owner Nicki James and her dancer partner Colin Lyons agreed to join forces, their friends were urging them to incorporate some lifts into their routine.

With Lyons, general manager of Lyons Landscaping, clocking in at around 6’3, it seemed only natural, James said. So, they’ve incorporated three lifts into their dance number, put together with the help of Dance Discovery’s

Teresa Carroll.

“We’re just really excited for the evening to show off our stuff,” James said.

The pair started working on their dance in February. Besides learning the steps, James said she also had to practise letting someone else take the reigns.

“We’re both Type A personalities and he’s supposed to be the lead. We’ve really worked on that, me letting go and letting him take the lead,” she said.

Besides the opportunity to wow the crowd with their dacing, James said the night has a special personal connection for her and Lyons.

“We have a dear friend who has breast cancer and we’ve dedicated this to her,” she said.

“It’s very empowering to do that, when you have someone who’s really special to

you and raising the money helps someone like her.”

BERNADETTE SIRACKY

While dancers have been able to take advantage of studio space around town in the lead up to the big event, Kamloops Food Bank executive director Bernadette Siracky and her partner Kelly Hall, publisher of KTW, have also tried out a few alternative venues — including Siracky’s garage.

“Our instructor was gone for the weekend and we needed to practise, so that was where we practised,” Siracky said.

Hall in particular has been practicing furiously for the event, “even without me there” Siracky said.

She describes their routine, created with Lauren Nordstrom from Academy of

Dance as upbeat.

“It is so much fun, the dance itself. It’s fun to dance it and I think it would be fun to watch it,” she said.

Siracky said she’s wanted to be involved in Dancing Like the Stars since she heard about it last year.

While this kind of dancing is new to her, she does have a bit of a dance background — during her childhood in Edmonton, Alberta she was a Ukrainian dancer.

Siracky said while Hall is displaying some jitters about performing in front of a large crowd, she’s looking forward to the night.

“What Kelly and I have created, I’m excited about it,” she said.

“I’m not sure what I’m going to feel when there’s 400 people watching us, but we know the dance well enough I’m hoping instinct will just take over.”

Crossroads opens to previews on Friday at Tranquille Farms and involves the tunnel tours the facility began to offer two years ago.

With new tunnels open, revealing even more of the area’s past, Cooper thought of taking people on a trip back to 1958 through the underground passageways.

The Thompson Rivers University theatre-arts graduate said he spent about two weeks researching the history of the tuberculosis sanatorium that was once there — the hustle and bustle, the hundreds of staff, the many patients and the sudden reality the facility would be closing.

There were several options suggested for the structure, Cooper said, from a school to a penitentiary to what

“The community was torn. A big conflict arose and there were a lot of personal agendas,” Cooper said.

it’s continued to be tweaked as the six-person cast rehearses.

The focus of his script is Les King, who is worried he’ll lose his job, and King’s wife, who has tuberculosis and is being transferred to another facility in Vancouver.

Because the play takes place as people go through the tunnels, it becomes interactive.

The cast may ask questions of the audience, mingle with them, bring them into the story.

To get the total story, Cooper said, one

needs to go twice; each night they perform, there are two groups who start at different points, meet in the middle — a crossroad — and continue on.

Each has it’s own perspective to the story being told.

The play is family friendly — there are funny moments as well as some more scary — but because the venue is some of the labyrinth of underground tunnels, it’s not accessible for anyone with mobility issues.

The shows are about an hour long and there are three a night on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, continuing to Nov. 1. In the early weeks of the run, show time is 8 p.m. but the time moves back about 15 minutes every couple of weeks, Cooper said, as the sun sets earlier.

Tickets, which are $28.80, can be purchased from Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-3745483 or online at kamloopslive.ca.

COMMUNITY GEOCACHE Support groups AT CHASE to tackle grief at BASH ON United Church SEPT. 26 Chases firefighters are welcoming the surrounding community to their first Cache Bash on Saturday, Sept.

26.

The firefighters’ association has hidden more than 25 caches throughout the area for participants to seek out — and, courtesy of a self-guided historic tour associated with the event, learn about the village’s early years.

Sign-in starts at the firehall, 810 Okanagan Ave., at 9 a.m. and continues to 11 a.m.

Demonstrations on how to find a geocache will be provided then, as well as information on using a free geocaching application on smartphones.

At 11 a.m., historian David Lepsoe will offer the free tours.

Q: The performing-arts centre might be built across from one of the first theatres in Kamloops. Is there any historical information about the old theatre?

A: The Rex Hall — across the street from the old Kamloops Daily News building — hosted vaudeville in the roaring 1920s and cowboys in its later years, as Cactus Jack’s Saloon.

The 9,000-squarefoot auditorium is one part of the building at 409 Seymour St., which was built in 1927 by the Kamloops Lodge #44 of the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks.

The group, which still exists today, began in 1920 with a mandate to provide community service and leadership.

It has since supported things like upgrades to Riverside Park and donated to organizations like the Kamloops Food Bank, but was also known for organizing social activities.

According to the Kamloops Heritage Commission, the Elks’ lodge included club quarters, a billiard room, lounge, ban-

quet hall, auditorium and seven residential suites on the top floor.

It was the first building to be designed in the Spanish-American style architecture in Kamloops, prompting a trend in the city.

Three years after the lodge was built, the auditorium became the Rex Theatre, which hosted dances, concerts and vaudeville dating back to the 1920s.

At the time, it had the second-largest stage in the province and could house 1,000 audience members for travelling shows,

concerts, musicals and dances.

The Elks eventually rented out the space — more recently to Cactus Jack’s before it moved to 130 Fifth Ave. — and,

almost a decade ago, Brad Alberts’ company Integrated Urban Equities Corp. bought the building from the Elks.

The building has since been renovated and rented out. It is almost at full capacity, Alberts told KTW, and is home to The Yoga Loft, Pilates Tree, Akimbo Dance Studios as well as residential units.

The 9,000-squarefoot main-floor space reopened as The Rex again last year.

“In our opinion, it’s a significant building downtown, heritagewise,” Alberts said.

Chris Hansen RECOMMENDS

Myrtle? Who’s Myrtle?

She isn’t a prophet or a god, just a member of the Unitarian Universalist Church. You see, we draw upon many sources in our search for truth.

Christianity. Islam. Buddhism.

And most importantly, you. After all, you determine your own faith.

These days, the space is rented for events and to parttime user groups and can host about 400 people.

But, as for how it compares to the proposed performing-arts centre, across the street?

“It pails in comparison to that,” Alberts said.

“It’s more a multifunctional space.”

If the centre comes to fruition following the November referendum, Alberts envisions The Rex used in conjunction with it to create a “performing-arts neighbourhood.”

OUR ROLE IN SUICIDE PREVENTION SOCIAL MEDIA CAN LEVERAGE IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS

hat do a semicolon tattoo, the phrase “To write love on her arms” and cycling all have in common?

They are social media movements dedicated to inspiring and encouraging discussion about mental illness, recovery and hope.

At first glance, it seems unclear how these three things connect to mental illness.

The fact is, not many of us will take the time to understand these movements until we know why they matter.

In any given year, one in five people in Canada will experience a mental health problem or illness, with a cost to the economy in excess of $50 billion.

Only one in three people who experience a mental health problem will seek and receive treatment.

I urge you to take a moment to read some of the personal stories shared in connection with the aforementioned social media movements.

The stories of struggle, recovery and hope are uniting voices that often go unheard; messages like, “There’s no health without mental health” and “You are not alone” resonate powerfully.

mental illness can be simple yet inspiring.

Project Semi-Colon uses a simple semicolon symbol to carry a powerful message — the project’s website says a semicolon is used when an author could’ve chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to.

The author is you and the sentence is your life.

This week marked World Suicide Prevention Day, an annual event to reduce stigma and promote dialogue.

This year’s theme is Preventing Suicide: Reaching Out and Saving Lives.

It serves as a call to action to both individuals and organizations.

O

ne of my daughters once proposed my T-shirt should read: “I don’t support war, but war supports me.” And it’s true, I suppose.

So you might assume I would leap

into action, laptop in hand, when I learned almost 3,000 researchers, experts and entrepreneurs have signed an open letter calling for a ban on developing artificial intelligence (AI) for lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS), or military robots for short.

Instead, I yawned.

Heavy artillery fire is much more terrifying than the Terminator.

WATCH We have a few other things that are a lot more key, like climate change, nine civil wars in the Muslim parts of the world and nuclear weapons.

The scientists and experts who signed the letter were right to demand an international agreement banning further work on autonomous weapons, because we don’t need yet another high-tech way to kill people. It’s not impossible they might succeed, either, although it will be a lot harder than banning blinding laser weapons or cluster bombs.

But, autonomous weapons of the sort currently under development are not going to change the world drastically. They are not the third revolution in warfare, after gunpowder and nuclear arms, as one military pundit described them.

They are another nasty weapons system.

What drives the campaign is a conflation of two ideas: weapons that kill people without a human being in the decision-making loop and true AI. The latter certainly would change the world, as we would then have to share our world for good or ill with nonhuman intelligences — but almost all the people active in the field say human-level AI is still a long way off in the future, if it is possible at all.

As for weapons that kill people without a human being choosing the victims, those we have in abundance already.

The thing about autonomous weapons that really appeals to the major military powers is, like the current generation of remotepiloted drones, they can be used with impunity in poor countries.

Moreover, like drones, they don’t put the lives of rich-country soldiers at risk. That’s a really good reason to oppose them — and, if poor countries realize what they are in for, it’s a good opportunity to organize a strong diplomatic coalition that wants to ban them.

race or to prevent it from starting. If any major military power pushes ahead with AI weapon development, a global arms race is virtually inevitable, and the endpoint of this technological trajectory is obvious: autonomous weapons will become the Kalashnikovs of tomorrow.”

“Unlike nuclear weapons, they require no costly or hard-toobtain raw materials, so they will become ubiquitous and cheap for all significant military powers to massproduce. It will only be a matter of time until they appear on the black market and in the hands of terrorists, dictators wishing to better control their populations, warlords wishing to perpetrate ethnic cleansing, etc.”

“Autonomous weapons are ideal for tasks such as assassinations, destabilizing nations, subduing populations and selectively killing a particular ethnic group.

We therefore believe that a military AI arms race would not be beneficial for humanity.”

Well, no, it wouldn’t be beneficial for humanity. Few arms races are. But, are autonomous weapons really the key question for humanity today?

Probably not.

Discovering southern Iceland IF YOU GO

JULIE H. FERGUSON

TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

W

hen Iceland Air began flying from Canadian hubs in 2014, I took advantage of their generous stop-over policy as I flew back to Vancouver from Europe.

My ten-day exploration of north and south Iceland in late-September was risky weather-wise, but I got lucky. The rich autumn colours and mostly dry sunny days were a welcome bonus in a land of unpredictable weather.

My last few days focused on southern Iceland outside Reykjavik, the capital. In a nation of intense contrasts, I planned to experience her violent and beneficial seismic activity, fire and ice, and black and whites.

On arrival, I discovered too the abundant co-existence of ancient and modern — a thousand-year-old parliament governs a very progressive population, and ultra-modern technologies harness their millennia-old earth energy.

Day-long guided tours for small groups proved ideal for achieving my aim.

These tours in minibuses allowed spur-of-themoment stops for photography and detours, flexibility in timing, and discussions with storytelling guides.

Most importantly, the minibuses can go where big coaches cannot.

Sharp showers poured down as I awaited GeoIceland’s pick up at my hotel. Baldvin, our driverguide, announced, “First, I’m taking you on a detour

• Iceland is spotlessly clean, has strong mobile phone signals everywhere and excellent Wi-Fi. • Everyone speaks fluent English.

• The weather varies and can be cold and rainy in summer, too.

• You’ll need hiking boots if you take a tour — expect to walk on rough terrain — and maybe pack a rain suit too.

• Late fall and winter are the best time to view the Aurora Borealis.

• Iceland is expensive.

• For more information on a trip to Iceland, check out these websites: iceland.is (Iceland’s official tourism website) and icelandontheweb.com (a one-stop trip-planning site).

The wide and flat rift valley at Pingvellir, north of the lake, is riven by deep fissures running north-south. The field beyond the cleft was where all Icelanders gathered every June for their parliament from 930CE to 1799.

that few get to experience.”

We drove east through craggy mountains on a road built to service the new hot water pipeline supplying Reykjavik.

At a pull-out Baldvin, turned botanist, taught us about the sub-Arctic flora that grows on lava. A splash of sunlight illuminated the mountainsides in the vivid oranges of autumn beside Pingvallatn Lake.

Pingvellir may be a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a national park, but for proud Icelanders it’s their national shrine. On the flat plain where the North

American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart, settlers established the world’s oldest, stillfunctioning parliament in 930 C.E. At Geysir, Iceland’s mostvisited geothermal field, an azure sky provided the backdrop for regular blasts of steam from Strokkur, bubbling mud pots, and scalding streams. In contrast, the Arctic wind nipped my ears and nose.

The afternoon brought waterfalls, big and small, including the massive Gullfoss, country roads alongside prosperous

farms, and distant views of Langjökull, one of Iceland’s glaciers.

After a rest day, I set off to the south shore of Iceland. Of course, showers started the day as we barrelled east along Iceland’s ring road, but the sun reappeared at the first stop.

I confronted the volcano that halted European air traffic in 2010. Today Eyjafjallajökull is benign, partly hidden by clouds, with a prosperous farm tucked below.

The posters tell a different story: photos of the devastating eruption. Our guide

explained, “People can be evacuated quickly, but over two hundred sheep presented difficulties. Many did not survive despite our rescue services’ heroic efforts.”

Near the coast, I trekked to my first encounter with a glacier, past piles of black gravel and rocks, all evidence of its 2,910 foot (887m) retreat since 1995.

Solheimajökull is one of Myrdalsjökull’s outlet glaciers. Its lagoon is filled with small icebergs dirty with volcanic ash — I had expected clean, blue ice.

The snout towered over me, breathing out cold air as if a fridge door had opened. It’s criss-crossed with black veins, crevasses, and lumps of lava.

Deep below Myrdalsjökull’s vast icecap lies Katla, an active volcano, prompting me to ask, “What happens when the volcano grumbles?”

“Outburst floods,” said our guide. “That’s why no farms and houses are allowed on the coastal plain below here. Last time was in 1999.”

The highlight is Reynisfjara, a beach near Vik overlooking sea stacks,

pinnacles, arches, and other rock formations where the wild North Atlantic grinds the black lava to sand.

Behind me, cliffs of basalt columns soar, caves gape, and the Myrdalsjökull’s icecap looms.

I was reluctant to leave this dramatic photo op but I was hungry for the national dish, a hearty lamb stew.

On the return journey, I marvelled at Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss, where visitors can walk under the waterfall and get drenched.

Next door to Skógafoss is a folk museum, fascinating but overfull, and a modern Museum of Transportation.

I headed for the restored Icelandic turf houses that I’d seen in the north but hadn’t been inside. Icelanders have built these for centuries to survive the harsh winter climate and I was impressed.

The living quarters were cosy and well furnished.

Iceland, the land of intense contrasts, has shown me her black and white beauty, fire and ice geology, and ancient history.

I crave more but it must wait till my next stopover to Europe.

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!
