Victim in arson attack was a cook at Sk’elep school By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
On Earth Day last month, the kids at Sk’elep School of Excellence were treated to a lunch of pizza, juice, water, cookies and fruit from the Tk’emlups Indian Band. So, Cheryl William, cook at the school, spent the day making lasagnas for lunch the next day. It was that kind of dedication — along with her “million-dollar smile” — that will fuel the memories of the staff and students at the school now mourning her death. William, 44, was removed from life support at Royal Inland Hospital on Monday, April 29. She had been taken there in serious condition on April 25 after her unconscious body was pulled from a burning house at 927 St. Paul St. Three other people in the three-suite house in downtown Kamloops escaped from the fire unharmed. School principal Garry Gottfriedson said William’s smile was what most everyone who met her spoke of when they met her. “She was an awesome woman, hardworking. In the last five years she missed one day of work,” he said. “She was very dedicated and will be missed for sure.” David Peter Gordon, 32, was arrested shortly after the fire started and has been charged with arson. He is scheduled to be in provincial court on Monday, May 6, for a bail hearing. CHERYL WILLIAM: The serious-crimes unit is investigatDied on April 29, four ing and is now treating the matter as days after St. Paul Street a homicide and will be meeting with home was set ablaze. Crown counsel on possible additional charges. An autopsy has yet to be scheduled. Firefighters and Mounties were called to the downtown Kamloops house at 2 a.m. on Thursday, April 25. On the day of the fire, Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said Gordon was a resident of the building, which has been divided into three suites. One is occupied by the landlord. Bush said Gordon and William were not associated, although it is likely they had met. Three people were in the building at the time of the blaze and two were able to escape. Damage was limited to the rear suite in the house. Although part of the roof showed some scorching, it remained intact. Police said the fire was contained in the unit, although two other units in the older building had smoke and water damage.

HISTORIC HAUL FOR KAMLOOPS MOUNTIES Kamloops RCMP seized approximately a kilogram of methamphetamine, $5,000 in cash and various weapons as a result of a traffic stop on the Coquihalla Highway and a subsequent search of a North Shore home. It represented the largest-ever meth bust in Kamloops. The 63-year-old male driver was arrested at the scene.

Bepple wants councillor pay review By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
After a decade of cost-ofliving increases, a Kamloops city councillor thinks it might be time for city leaders to look at giving themselves a more substantial raise. Coun. Nancy Bepple put forward a notice of motion this week, asking for a report on the paycheques of mayors and councils in comparable communities in B.C.
Bepple believes the job of being a councillor has expanded since council last looked at its pay rate in 2001. “We’re doing more in terms of community consultation, we’re more involved with external committees as well and there’s also city committees,” she said, pointing to the city’s budget process, which now takes 16 hours instead of two hours because of expanded community meetings. “The role of the council-

lors, the work has increased over the last number of
years,” Bepple said. In 2011, a committee recommended salaries for elected officials should rise by 30 per cent, which would have put the mayor’s salary at $75,000, up from $57,432. Councillors, then earning $16,779, would have made $22,500. Feeling that was too much of a jump, council instead opted to hitch its pay rate to the Vancouver Consumer Price Index. X See ONE-THIRD A16

For Kendall, it’s time for change By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Dave Eagles/KTW
Kathy Kendall doesn’t remember what topic the local politician on the radio was speaking on when she had her “a-ha!” moment. She does, however, remember the tone. “The message was, ‘If only you understood things properly you’d agree with us.’ That sort of talking down to people, that if you disagree with us, you’re just wrong,” she recalls. It was time to get involved. “I just thought, ‘Oh my God. We have to do better than this.’” Before then, Kendall had never considered running for office. Politics were something that happened to other people. “I’ve always been one of those people who thinks, ‘Oh, there’s a politician,’ as though they’re somehow different, special — you have to be a special person to run for office,” she says. “And then I thought, ‘That’s just wrong.’” At the time, the veteran Kamloops lawyer was already going through a
transitional phase. In November 2010, the local legal-aid office where she worked closed due to a lack of provincial funding. Kendall still works with low-income clients, but now does so through her own family-law practice. By the summer of 2011, she would be the face of the NDP in Kamloops-North Thompson, in preparation for a fall election that didn’t come. But, Kendall said, the decision to run isn’t personal, but is all about the tone of governance in British Columbia. “I don’t want to get in power so I can get my job back. I wouldn’t say that was part of it,” she says. Instead, Kendall sees becoming an MLA as an opportunity to continue to advocate for people, albeit on a slightly different scale than the legal-aid office. “It [the closure] opened a door for me to go down a different path and here I am,” she says. “I think it was a bad decision for the community at large, but for me it’s turned out
to be — I just took a different direction.” And, she says, voters are looking for that new direction as well. “The biggest thing I hear on the doorstep is, ‘It’s time for change.’ People do have their issues, but the consistent thing I hear is, ‘We’ve had enough,’” she says. (Perhaps not surprisingly, opponent and incumbent Liberal MLA Terry Lake reports the opposite.) Beyond that, Kendall says voters seem to be getting sick of hearing about the provincial debt. “I think really for a lot of people, it’s like this,” she says, holding her hands up to her ears like chattering mouths. “People want to hear about the things that are daily important in their lives and they do think about which party might be better at handling the finances. “There must be some people who think about it, because, lord knows, we keep hearing about it — but, most people want to hear about the things that matter to them.”
KTW Q&A: The lighter side of Kathy Kendall and her Perry Mason preference KTW: What’s your favourite film? KENDALL: “The classic that I would watch over and over and over again would have to be To Kill a Mockingbird.”
writer, so he writes a really serious book, but it’s not heavy. You know how some great books, they’re a little painful to read because they’re so serious? This wasn’t.”
KTW: What’s the last book you read? KENDALL: “The last book that really sticks with me that I read is 419 by Will Ferguson. It’s fabulous and he’s a humour
KTW: What is the most interesting place you’ve ever travelled? KENDALL: “I’d have to say Addis Ababa, and the second-most interesting was CITY OF
KAMLOOPS
Laos PDR. Both were volunteering trips. In Ethiopia, the poverty, the kids we were working with in the orphanage were just so positive and happy it was amazing, but underlying was a sense of the harsh reality of life. In Laos, there was none of that.” KTW: Who, in your opinion, was Canada’s best prime minister?
KENDALL: “I think everybody brings something different to the job, so I wouldn’t say any one was the best. I think the best prime ministers reflect the best about us as a country.” KTW: If you were on trial, who would you want to defend you — Perry Mason or Matlock?
COMMUNITY
KENDALL: “Perry Mason because he always won, didn’t he? One of his henchmen always brought in the surprise that got someone on the hook.” KTW: What’s one interesting fact about you that most people don’t know? KENDALL: “I worked as a roofer in law school.”

Get Your Glow On City of Kamloops Road Safety Campaign launches this month. As the weather gets better and summer approaches, there are more and more people out and about. As a result, it is important for ALL road users to increase their awareness of their surroundings. Get Your Glow On is a campaign aimed at educating and engaging all road users in their shared responsibility for road safety. Visibility is not just about being seen at night. Being visible also means to see and be seen. Not only do drivers need to be watching for others on the road; all other users need to pay attention too. Motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, motorized scooter users, roller bladers and skateboarders are all equally responsible. People are so plugged in that they are “tuned out”. With the onslaught of cell phones, music and media, busy schedules and multi-tasking, we often don’t have “our head in the game”. Distraction of any kind can lead to disaster. Take care. Be aware. Pay attention. So come on Kamloops, Get Your Glow On! Stay tuned for further details.
Make sure you’re visible when on the road, and watch for traffic around you.

A call for a policy on homophobia By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
In a perfect world, there would be no need for a policy dealing with homophobia. However, as Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association (KTTA) president Jason Karpuk noted, that world doesn’t exist. It’s why the KTTA has asked the KamloopsThompson school district to create a new policy to address the issue. Members of the KTTA social-justice committee presented their 21-page
[web-extra www.kamloopsthisweek.com
School-district head Terry Sullivan defends online business report to trustees on Monday, April 29, telling them research estimates 10 per cent of a student body — 1,467 children and youth in SD73 — identify themselves as belonging to an alternate sexual orientation and are “more likely to have reported harassment and are more likely to attempt suicide,” said committee member Justin Hummel. He noted the existing code of conduct gives “cursory mention” to homophobia. Trustee Gerald Watson, however, asked Hummel how creation of a separate policy addressing homophobia does not create an appearance it is more offensive than all other types of harassment. Watson said the
existing language is “a comprehensive policy that addresses the behaviour” of bullying and harassment. Karpuk told KTW examples that prompted the report include students reporting derogatory terms that have been said to them, with others laughing them off, whereas if a racist comment was made, the odds were greater the person uttering them would be called to task. “Common sense isn’t always common,” Karpuk said. He acknowledged teachers have a role to play in creating a school culture free of bullying, but argued they would be aided by clear policies on what is expected. Karpuk said research that was used in drafting the policy — which is also based on policy now in place in Quesnel — showed a distinct code on homophobia “does have a direct impact on students. “What does it hurt to have it if it saves one kid?” he asked. Karpuk noted the Ministry of Education has mandated school districts explicitly state commitment to creating and maintaining respectful school communities free from bullying, intimidation, harassment, racism, sexism and homophobia. Twenty-one of 60 school districts in B.C. have adopted a homophobia-specific harassment policy, he said. “Ideally, we want to get to a place where we don’t need these policies at all,” Karpuk said. “But, that isn’t now.”

THE SKINNY ON SKEETERS: • Only female mosquitos bite, to get an added protein boost before laying eggs • The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has about 33 species of mosquito, with varying biting, egg-laying and habitat preferences. One species, for instance, will only feed on frogs. • One of the reasons the larvicide BWP Consulting uses works only on mosquitos is because it has to be dissolved in a high-pH stomach. Most insects and animals have low pH (acidic) stomachs. • What are mosquitos good for? Besides slapping, the males actually pollinate grasses.

HERYL PHIPPEN has heard all the magic, miracle, mosquito cure-alls, from bananas to vitamin B to garlic. Right now, though, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District’s mosquito-control contractor is bracing for another round with the Listerine advocates. A local radio station recently gave the false claim, usually passed around in , some air time.
“You spray it on everything. Spray it on your deck, spray it on your cat,” Phippen says with a long-suffering expression. For the record, Listerine does not repel mosquitoes. But, if property owners whose land Phippen’s crew enters to treat standing water decide to buy into the mouthwash myth, it can damage the effectiveness of her efforts. “People might opt out of the program because they say, ‘Oh, it’s so much safer,’” she says. Phippen’s team went back in the field about two weeks ago and she is hoping for gentler
weather after one of the two roughest years of her career in 2012. As last year’s flooding pushed the waters of the North Thompson River higher and higher, her crew returned to the river’s banks — already one of the toughest they treat in the TNRD — over and over, about three times more than usual. That still wasn’t as bad as 1999, her first year in the business, when flood waters rose even higher and the West Nile virus first showed up in North America. X CONTINUED ON A7

AMAZING EVENT
No, they are not spraying pesticides X From A6
When Phippen went away for a weekend to get married and left the name of her resort destination on her voicemail message, mosquitobitten residents started calling the front desk looking for her. “People get quite passionate about mosquitoes,” she says. Though her company, BWP Consulting, has held the regional district’s nuisancemosquito contract for more than a decade, Phippen finds the work her team does still isn’t well understood.
A7
People will call to shout at her for spraying “pesticides” — yet her team actually uses blowers to spread dried corn coated with a bacterial protein toxic only to mosquitoes. Because mosquito larvae are water-based creatures, they’re sometimes mistaken for tadpoles, which can bring out protective instincts. Other people have accused her of taking photos of their properties while looking for marijuana grow-ops. One woman called the RCMP, accusing Phippen of trying to drain a nearby lake
via helicopter. Then there are the household remedies — diesel and cooking oil. While adding either of those to standing water will disrupt mosquito larva’s ability to breathe, it’s also death to water beetles and other insects that need to access the surface of the water for air, Phippen says. “And cooking oil kills frogs.” Over time, Phippen has had to learn to develop a thick skin. But, as a longtime bug enthusiast — before the mosquito contract, she worked on gypsy-
moth control — the job has its rewards, too. During a TNRD public-outreach session this week to try to combat some of the misinformation about her program, Phippen pulled up a slide filled with pictures of the blood-sucking bugs. When blown up to nightmarish sizes, many of the mosquitoes sported bright stripes of colour and pattern. Phippen regarded the bugs she’s paid to destroy with a smile and a happy sigh. “I think mosquitoes are beautiful,” she says.

Of Harper, attack ads and the pay accorded councillors
I
T’S ANOTHER WEEK where nothing really worked its way into a full column, but a lot of things happened that are worth some consideration or observation. • The first comes courtesy of a friend who asked why Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his band of frozen souls up in Ottawa are dissing the new leader of the federal Liberal Party of Canada. There’s no federal election, my friend observed, so what’s the problem? And why, he asked, are the ads attacking Justin Trudeau so lame? The answer is easy to identify, I told my friend. This generation of Trudeau the leader scares the heck out of Harper and his minions. Trudeau is not a fly to be swatted, but a bug that needs to be obliterated with a cannon. He’s that really dangerous political leader: Someone who might attract people who otherwise don’t give a damn to get off their duffs and vote simply because he appears to have real blood coursing through his veins, he’s not afraid to poke fun at himself and, in being that way, he brings a bit of hope back into a government level that sees us all as criminals, potential criminals or left-wing minority bleeding-hearts who believe in the rehabilitation of criminals. • Continuing with Harper — but not for much longer — please pay attention to the stealth-like way he has snuck in yet another of his secret objectives with legislation that would remove the arm’s-length distance the government now has from the CBC and give it a seat at the table.
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL The bill would allow Harper and his cabinet to dictate working conditions at the national broadcaster, along with the International Development Research Centre, the Canada Council for the Arts and the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Those of us who see the glass filled by the federal government to be half-empty see this as nothing more than trying to control messages like the muzzling of scientists and massive cuts to the arts, among others. • Another friend sent a text earlier this week calling me to task for not yet pointing out each of the candidates running in the provincial election for Kamloops-North Thompson lives outside the riding. Ed Fehr, who for a short while was the B.C. Conservative Party candidate before health issues forced him to step aside, was the only one who lived in the riding. NDP candidate Kathy Kendall lives in Sahali, Liberal candidate Terry Lake calls downtown home and Ed Klopp, who replaced Fehr on the ticket, lives in the Shuswap. It’s not unusual for this to happen;
years and years ago I was writing stories about candidates being “parachuted” into ridings just because of their high profile and the belief name recognition would translate into victory. It’s not quite the same thing here and, while the Liberals obviously needed to go with their sitting MLA, you’d think the NDPers and Conservatives could have found someone to run who would actually have a vested interest in the riding. I wonder how hard they searched. • Finally, don’t get your knickers in a knot over Coun. Nancy Bepple raising the issue of how much we pay her and the others on council. It’s not enough. Everything that actually affects us — roads, sewers, water, fire, transit, safety, economy — is impacted by the work they do and there’s no way it can be done on a piecemeal, parttime basis. We want them to be there to talk to us at rezoning hearings, at publicinput meetings, at open houses, when we’re angry about the barking dog next door and want to complain. They deserve to be paid for the work they actually do and I hope her notice of motion gets beyond the simple comparative report she’s requested to a decision to deal with the problem. Maybe that might encourage some folks on the North Shore to put their names onto a ballot. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com
If Coun. Nancy Bepple is spending up to 30 hours a week, every week, all year long, on work related to the parttime position, we suggest she take a serious look at time management. Bepple suggested this week the pay of city councillors be reviewed, claiming she spends 20 to 30 hours a week on council work and further claiming the part-time gig has cost her upwards of $30,000 a year due to time she has had to take off from her full-time job at Thompson Rivers University. (The fact Bepple’s $25,000 a year salary at city hall is one-third tax-free would suggest her financial hardship is mitigated somewhat). Councillors attend weekly meetings and various committee meetings. Sometimes there are night public hearings and, during budget time, there are additional meetings. Councillors are also seen at myriad events as they represent the city. If Bepple is finding the time spent to be onerous, we suggest she reconsider a re-election bid in 2014 — or decide against travelling across Canada to various conferences on the public dime. Bepple — and every other member of council — ran for office knowing full well the pay scale for what is indeed a part-time job. It is not the responsibility of taxpayers — the vast majority who do not enjoy regular raises and the vast majority who have never qualified for any tax-free paycheques — to dig into their already empty pockets to further compensate elected officials who are already adequately compensated. City councillors receive annual cost-of-living increases, which is more than many of their constituents enjoy in this fragile economy. Kamloops residents have just been hit with yet another property-tax hike, an annual occurrence that sees the bill rise in one direction. Residents are paying more for services, municipally, provincially and nationally, while earning less in real dollars than they would have 20 years ago. Sitting on city council in Kamloops is a voluntary civic duty with adequate pay for what is required. If Bepple or anyone else feels they deserve more, let them step aside and allow others to fill the positions.

THIS WEEK Speak up You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com
A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online
Re: Story: MP McLeod OK with Trudeau ads: “I think it’s much more likely that MP Cathy McLeod was snapped back into line for daring to question the very successful approach of attacking Michael Ignatieff and it was made clear she toe the line in future or else. “Attack ads, especially this long before an election, are despicable.” — posted by Devon Brooks “The ads are bad, but even worse is the suggestion they use taxpayer money to send mailouts criticizing Justin Trudeau.” — posted by Carole Hansen
Re: Story: Will the NDP fund hospital expansion?: “I still remember the cancer-clinic snub in 1992. “Probably not a terrible policy, but not what they campaigned on. “Still remember Mike Harcourt making the promise at the airport.” — posted by Mitch Williams
On Ajax, let’s relax and let experts do their jobs Editor: I wish we could all be as smart as anti-Ajax activist John Schleiermacher. Whatever the Ajax folks do, or when they inform us, it’s not good enough for Schleiermacher and his group. Here’s a financial analyst
with no mining background. The more the Kamloops Area Preservation Association (KAPA) has to say, the more reason I have to support Ajax. These people will protest anything without any solid evidence about what they are talking about.
photos found in KTW
I am sick of all the unsubstantiated facts KAPA throws out there. Let the experts do their jobs. If the proposed mine proceeds, good for Kamloops. If not, it’s not the end of the world. Robert Alexander Kamloops
Taxpayers will subsidize mine’s power needs Editor: As candidates seek votes in the May 14 provincial election, it is worthwhile asking about their position on corporate subsidies. A case in point — BC Hydro and other subsidies being considered for the proposed Ajax mine. Evidence suggests KGHM Ajax will pay 3.5 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh), while a conservative estimate is that we will pay between seven and 11 cents per kWh for the same electricity. It’s been reported the mine will exceed the city’s electricity usage each year, leaving B.C. taxpayers on the hook for a substantial hydro subsidy.
In addition, when Ajax’s Norm Thompson was asked last fall about what level of carbon tax the mine would be paying, his response was: “The government hasn’t decided that yet.” Given the size of the mine’s carbon footprint, this will likely be substantial. More importantly, there are no available data on what water rates will apply to the mine pumping 1,667 cubic metres of water per hour from Kamloops Lake, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year over 23 years. Water may well be our most precious non-renewable resource. This raises the question: “What
will KGHM pay for water?” Now is the time to look for accountability on the part of governments managing our resources while reducing the impact on climate change. Understandably, large corporations deserve tax incentives; however, leaving taxpayers to pick up the tab for undisclosed subsidies is tantamount to taking from the poor while giving to the rich. Let’s put these questions out there while we still have a reasonable chance of getting straight answers on subsidies. Claudette Kelly Kamloops
We should all heed doc’s warning on Ajax Editor: Re: Dr. Dennis Karpiak’s letter of April 25 (‘Ajax’s leadlaced toxic cloud will affect generations’): For all those residents with their “I Support Ajax” bumper stickers and entitled approach to a very serious issue, I hope this letter from an esteemed medical doctor and specialist will wake people up to the seriousness of mining in our community. Those who support the proposed copper and gold mine
south of Aberdeen need to claw their heads out of dark places and do their own research, talk to doctors in the know and seriously think about how this mine will affect their loved ones — especially the elderly and children. Everyone can have an opinion. So, next time you visit your doctor, think about the trust you place in his/her hands based on the years of knowledge and experience they bring to your care. To discount that knowledge when thinking about their truth
on the subject of Ajax is like disregarding their truth when dealing with your life. Karpiak knows of what he speaks on Ajax, as well as with his profession. I wonder how many doctors we will lose if this mine gets approved? And, then, who will be the complainers? Those with the bumper stickers, of course. Dennis Paget Kamloops
Kudos to Hastings — and a thank you to staff Editor: Re: (‘KTW garners two Ma Murray awards,’ April 23): Congratulations to Marty Hastings for his excel-
lent work. And, indeed, a large thank you to KTW for usually doing a good job reporting the news. Lawrence Beaton Kamloops

Editor: I am an avid Kamloops Blazers fan and my family goes to as many games as we can. Whether we go to the game or not, we always look at KTW online to see photos of the game. After Game 3 in Round 3, KTW published a slideshow that told the story of the game so well. I love all the animal and sports photos by Allen Douglas and see him at university games and even some sports with younger kids. We see sports photos in KTW we don’t see anywhere else and the shots make me feel like I am in the action, too! Douglas is so respectful when taking photos of fans and, when I talked to him at a Blazers game, he told me KTW photographer Dave Eagles is a great teacher and one of the best photographers around and Marty Hastings is one of the best sports writers. I see in your paper both Hastings and Eagles recently won Ma Murray awards. Please pass on my thanks for hiring such talented photographers and ones who are such great ambassadors for your paper. And thanks for putting more slideshows online as I enjoy all of them, In the last week there have been quite a few. I hope you keep putting more photos online as my kids and I can’t get enough — and the photos make my kids take interest in the news. Josee White Kamloops

HOME & GARDEN
Time to spruce up the deck The arrival of mild weather expands our living space to the deck and patio throughout the spring and summer, with backyard entertaining, relaxing weekends and sunset evenings. This is the time when people venture into their sheds to pull out lawn furniture for another season, only to find winter dust, mildew and debris has left it looking less than pristine. Don’t let dingy lawn furniture shadow your patio entertaining. A thorough spring cleaning at the start of the season will make your outdoor space as beautiful as your indoor living space. A thorough cleaning, however, doesn’t necessarily mean an all-day job. Innovative products to brighten tired outdoor furniture are a homeowner’s best friend, say specialists in this field.
One of those is a brand line called Thompson’s WaterSeal Oxy powered multi-surface cleaner. It is mild and safe to use, but effective. The biodegradable formula is a breeze for cleaning furniture, wood and composite decks, siding, vinyl awnings, concrete and masonry. Take a look at a few more tips to spruce up your outdoor space: • Rake out walkways, ditches
and small spaces that have gathered old leaves, garbage and clear patios and overhangs of cobwebs and winter nests. • Till and add fresh mulch to flower beds and walkways to instantly increase your home’s curb appeal. • Clean windows, doors and outdoor coach lights to brighten your home inside and out. • Restore your outdoor deck. The Thompson’s line includes a foaming-action oxy cleaner for this purpose and, afterwards, it suggests protecting the deck with the Advanced WaterSeal. Protect fabrics from water damage, stains and colour fading with this brand’s outdoor Fabric Seal. • Add some life to your outdoor space with hanging plants and floor planters for a pop of colour. newscanada.com

The plans for the new playground include playground equipment and a theme that will enhance the existing wading pool, which will receive a fresh coat of paint. The existing swing set will remain. The city is working with Kamloops Fire and Rescue and Operation Haiti to recycle the old playground equipment. The project is valued at about $250,000 and will open this summer.

Mounties conduct largest-ever meth bust in city By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
About 20,000 doses of methamphetamine are no longer bound for the street after Kamloops RCMP first stopped a car on Highway 5 and later searched a home on Young Avenue in Brocklehurst. Insp. Jennie Latham met with the media on Wednesday, May 1, to display the haul taken in at the end of a two-month undercover operation by the detachment’s drug and property-crime units. The seizure began at about 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 30, when officers stopped a vehicle on the
highway about 50 kilometres west of the city. A 63-year-old man in the vehicle was arrested and officers seized about a kilogram of methamphetamine and $5,000. Later that day, officers entered the home of the man and found cocaine, heroin, marijuana and more meth, with an estimated street value of more than $300,000. Latham said there was about another kilogram of meth in the home, making the total uncovered by police the largest seizure of the drug in the detachment’s history. She said officers told her one kilogram equals about 10,000 doses.
Kamloops RCMP Insp. Jenny Latham speaks to the media following the historic seizure. Latham said police believe organized crime is involved and that the drugs came to Kamloops from the Coast. Dave Eagles/KTW
Officers also found several guns in the house, including a Walter WA2000 sniper rifle, three rifles — a
.30-06, a cap and ball and a .22 — two handguns, two Tasers and one zip gun. The sniper rifle was
created by the Carl Walther Gun Company in the late 1970s and early 1980s as a response to the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympic Summer Games. Only 176 were created due to the high cost of production. The rifle seized has an estimated value of $75,000. Latham said the man arrested has no criminal record, but noted officers believe organized
crime is involved in some way. She said the drugs are believed to have come to Kamloops from the Coast. A 27-year-old man was arrested last week as a result of the investigation. Latham said the investigation had targeted the older man as a major supplier of drugs in the city. Both men know each

Walk for Peace takes to the streets this weekend The 38th annual Walk for Peace, the Environment and Social Justice will take place on Saturday, May 4, in downtown Kamloops. A program of music, speakers and entertainment will greet participants in the Stuart Wood schoolyard at 10 a.m. Performances by local musicians will be interspersed with short speeches on a variety of topics. The lineup includes singer Janet Michael, the Raging Grannies, singer/ songwriter Perry Tucker and former poet laureate Jack Jones. Project X is also putting together a skit for the event.
The Walk will leave the schoolyard at noon, tour the downtown area and returns to Stuart Wood for a performance by local swing/folk group Just Like That. There will be a concession stand featuring barbecued smokies courtesy of the Kamloops chapter of the Council of Canadians and Freybe Gourmet Foods Ltd. A new addition this year is a float competition. Organizations and individuals are encouraged to construct floats to accompany the Walk. They must be non-polluting, con-

Sex-offender concerns guide washroom talk By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
There’s a washroom facility in Edmonton where safety is clearly the issue — the facility has glass walls. It may not be the solution to concerns about public washrooms in Kamloops attracting pedophiles, but it’s something that could be considered as the discussion moves forward, said Jeff Putnam, the city’s facilities manager. Kamloops is consid-
ering two family washrooms in Riverside Park, but concerns have been raised they could attract pedophiles. At a meeting of the city’s co-ordinated enforcement task force earlier this week, Putnam said having a locked door on the proposed facility is troublesome. A similar washroom at the Tournament Capital Centre has already caused problems, with people using cameras to take pictures through gaps originally included at the top and bottom of the door.
Kamloops RCMP Insp. Jenny Latham said at the meeting the city’s 285 registered sex offenders would also find the ability to lock a bathroom door appealing. Not all people included on the national sex-offence database are pedophiles, said RCMP Staff Sgt. Fran Bethell. The registry allows police to know where the released offenders live. It includes photographs, another benefit for officers, Bethell said. She said it is unlikely any are subject to the
kind of sudden, random, middle-of-the-night home visits prolific offenders often experience in the city because the tactic is focused on that particular kind of criminal. Police also work closely with probation and parole offices to ensure the conditions to which released offenders must adhere to are being met, she said. “We try to keep on top of all of them, but the high-risk ones, some of them get closer monitoring.” Patrols of parks vary,
City, police helped Ribfest organizers plan well Sandra Blair of the Daybreak Rotary Club has nothing but praise for the advice her group received from police and the city as it prepared for its first Rotary Ribfest last summer. Blair said the organization committee met every two weeks for several months with the two groups to plan the festival. “We were super-thankful for all they told us,” Blair told KTW. “They made sure all the safeguards were in place.” Volunteers all required criminal-record checks and were easily identified by bright yellow shirts during the three-day event, Blair said, providing the public with identifiable people to
turn to for help. The police, auxiliary and bylaw officers were visible — 17 officers and 16 auxiliary were present at all times of the festival, she said. Signs were installed around the fun zone for children, reminding parents and caregivers to not leave the youngsters unattended and, for those who did stray, a lost-and-found area was on the site. “Their advice was phenomenal,” Blair said of the city and Mounties. The second annual Rotary Ribfest and family festival is planned for Aug. 9 to Aug. 11 this year at Riverside Park in conjunction with the annual Hot Nite in the City.
depending on time of year, popularity and activities, Bethell said. Police have a greater presence with foot and bike patrols in the late spring through to early fall. Supporting them are “more eyes on the street,” Bethell said — bylaws officers, Citizens on Patrol members and auxiliary police. All are particularly vigilant during events that attract families to the parks. For example, at the inaugural Ribfest last August, an event

Bethell said additional concerns include lighting, access and whether they should remain locked overnight or at times when legitimate usage might be low. Beyond the potential as a pedophile attractant, Bethell said, police are also worried about the facility being occupied for illegal drug use “or anything that poses a concern for parents.”

One-third of city council pay is tax-free
Murray MacRae of Royal LePage Kamloops Realty Receives New “Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE®)” Designation
X From A1
The Vancouver Consumer Price Index tracks the cost of living based on prices of commonly purchased goods and services. In 2013, councillors make $24,811, while Mayor Peter Milobar takes home $74,434 — one-third of which is tax-free. “I think even if we get and increase every year, a small increase, we should be reviewing the overall compensation and how it compares to what the current job is,” Bepple said. She said councillors need to be able to make enough money to put in the hours the job requires. Bepple pegs her councillor work at 20 to 30 hours per week. “If you’re a councillor, it’s difficult or impossible to have another full-time job,” she said. “You need to be able to balance out some other part-time work, perhaps, or maybe not any other work.” To sit on council, Bepple takes a partial leave of absence from her position at Thompson Rivers University, which she said costs her some of her benefits and pension. Bepple said sitting on council costs her between $20,000 and $30,000 per year. Councillors will vote on Tuesday, May 7 whether to ask staff for a report and get the pay rate conversation started.

LUCY FELL
ALLAN RAYMOND THOMAS
1923 – 2013 Lucy was born in Leigh Lanchire, England, the only child of Stuart and Ethel Barton. They immigrated to Nordegg, AB when Lucy was four. It was in Nordegg that she met the love of her life, Bud Fell. They married in 1941 and went on to have six children together. Bud and Lucy moved to BC in 1951, living in different towns throughout the Okanagan. She was a lifetime member of the Royal Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary. Lucy enjoyed her volunteer time at the Thrift Store in Okanagan Falls and her bingo games in Kamloops with Paulette and her many friends. Curling was her sport, and she skipped many winning teams. Lucy was a charter member of the Kelowna Curling Club. But, what “Mom” will be remembered for the most, was all the love she gave her family. Mom always put her family first and was always there for them. We will all miss her many hugs & kisses! Lucy was predeceased by her husband, Bud, in 2011 and her grandson John. She will be loved & missed by her children, Rick (Liz) Fell of Penticton, Cindy (Nelson) Stewart of Kamloops, Barb (Hugh) Hooker of Salmon Arm, Shane Fell of Calgary, Sherry (Gord) Kaultenhauser of Kelowna and Penny Gobin of Medicine Hat, AB. Lucy is also survived by many grandchildren, great grandchildren and great, great grandchildren. The family would like to thank Dr. Wiltshire, Dr. Langford and the caring staff at the Royal Inland Hospital and Kamloops Hospice. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. A Celebration of Lucy’s life will be held on Saturday, May 4th at 11:00 am at Southwest Community Church, 700 Hugh Allan Drive, Kamloops, BC. Rev. Mary Widmer officiating. Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home Condolences may be sent to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com
CLARE MOORHOUSE 1929 – 2013 Clare passed away on April 27th, with his family at his side. Clare was born in Fort Langley, BC on May 25, 1929, attended school in Surrey, BC before moving to Salmon Arm where he met his wife Doreen on a blind date. They moved to Kamloops in 1957 where he began his career with C.P. Rail. For the past 14 years Clare has enjoyed the time spent driving the Wildlife Express at the Kamloops Wildlife Park, meeting people and making children smile. Clare is survived by his three children, Diane (Bart) Wright, Reg (Sherry) Moorhouse and Donna (Don) Poeppel, five grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Clare was predeceased by his wife Doreen Moorhouse. The Memorial Service for Clare will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 2nd in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street with Pastor Don Maione officiating.
1927 - 2013 Allan passed away at Ponderosa Lodge on April 13, 2013 after a very brief battle with cancer. His daughter Jessie and step-son Ross were at his side. He is survived by daughter Jessie Thomas, step-sons Ross and Marcel Lowndes, sister Clara Allen of Edmonton, and brothers Irvine and Robert Thomas of Fredericton, New Brunswick. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, cousins and friends. Allan was predeceased by his cherished wife of 44 years, Margaret June Thomas, in 1996 and by his beloved companion of 16 years, Barbara Eunice Lowndes, in December 2012. Also predeceased by twin brother Eldon; brothers Earle, George and Ralph; and, by sisters Verna, Mary, and Jean. Born and raised in the small farming community of Tay Creek, New Brunswick, Allan and his twin brother Eldon left that world behind when they struck out for British Columbia in the early 1950s. Both worked in lumber camps on the West Coast and and then eventually settled on Vancouver Island where both worked in the Chemainus saw mill.
LAURA JEAN WOODS (ISENOR) April 9, 1933 – April 27, 2013 On April 27, 2013 at age 80 our beloved Mom left us to join Dad, her husband of over 50 years after a long battle with cancer. She leaves behind her children, Jean Selk (Denis) of Williams Lake, Kathy Jansen (Ben) of Kamloops, Bonnie Bauer (Bruce) of Kamloops and Rob Woods of Prince George. Mom is also survived by her grandchildren Leah, Sarah, Nick, Mike, Robyn, Mark and Jonathan. Laura came from a large family and was predeceased by parents Elenor Jean and Richard Douglas Isenor. Mom also leaves behind brothers Francis and Richard and a sister Kathleen.
In 1964, Allan moved to Kamloops with his wife and daughter, eventually taking employment as a school custodian in SD #24. It was then that his lifelong passion and belief in the labour union movement began to take form as he started taking part in the activities of his union. He served CUPE Local 900 in many capacities over the next 21 years -- sitting on the grievance and bargaining committees and holding various positions, including president, on the executive. He was a man of few causes but those which he had, he championed with a dedicated and principled conviction. His family and friends will remember him as the loyal and caring father, brother, advisor, and helper that he was. Those that knew him best will also remember him for the dry sense of humour that he carried into whatever he did. In accordance with his wishes, there will be no service. If friends so desire donations may be made in his memory to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation or Ponderosa Lodge, 425 Columbia Street Kamloops, BC V2C 2T4 Arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services 250-554-2324
Mom was born in Salmon Arm, but lived in Canoe, BC until 1943 when mom moved with her family to Armstrong. In 1959 Mom married Robert John Woods and moved to Kamloops where they spent the rest of their lives together. The family wishes to express our heartfelt thanks to the caregivers and the staff at The Hamlets at Westsyde for their comfort and care given to Mom in the past two years.

Katherine Ella Nicholson
Marjorie Agnes (Wilcox) Lamarche December 22, 1926 to April 28, 2013
September. 16, 1921 ~ February 23, 2013
Marjorie was born in Kamloops, B.C. and passed peacefully on Sunday, April 28, 2013 in the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail, BC. Born to Thomas Joseph Wilcox and Margaret Hamilton Pollock on December 22, 1926. Marjorie was the youngest of nine children who have all predeceased her. Alice (James Millar) Kamloops, Francis (Vi Fiddick) Castlegar, BC; Joseph (Doris Perry), New Westminister, BC; Helen (James Standen), Kamloops, BC; Nora (William Belcham), Little Fort, BC; Albert Seraphim (Olga Shinduke), Vernon, BC; Robert (Eva Bartlett) Salmon Arm, BC; Dorothy (Ronald Bonnett) Oliver, BC; Marjorie was raised in the Louis/Heffley Creek Valley, (near the Sun Peaks Ski Area north of Kamloops, BC) from 1931 to 1944. Her formal education ceased in Grade 5 with the closure of the rural school. Her education continued by correspondence, interrupted by the rigors of farm life, dominated by sheep herding. Mom had an deep affinity with animals, especially dogs and horses, who she considered her best friends while growing up in rural isolation. When Mom was 17 years old, her mother accompanied her to Victoria B.C. to attended High School from 1944 to 1947. Mom considered education a privilege and honour; she was a life long learner and self educated, often termed ‘professor’ by her close friends. She loved history and kept herself abreast of world events. Marjorie loved gardening, cooking, sewing, knitting and spent many hours playing cards with family and friends. As a devote Catholic, Mom’s faith was very important to her and she was a perpetual student of the Bible. St. Rita’s Roman Catholic Parish community was focal in her life and she was a life member of the Catholic Women’s League. She greatly appreciated those who brought her communion on Sundays when she was no longer able to attend Mass. Marjorie married Joseph Andre Lamarche (predeceased November 10, 2001) on December 29, 1947 in Victoria, BC. Shortly there after they moved to Port Alberni, B.C. to find work and start a family. Their first six children were born in Port Alberni, B.C. before moving to Castlegar, BC in 1960, where the last child was born. Marjorie lived at Castlewood Village for the last six years, where she greatly enjoyed the companionship and comradery of many friends and enjoyed many of their activities. These were very happy years for her. Marjorie will be missed by her Castlewood Family, and we, her family, would like to express a heartfelt thank you to all who supported and enriched her life while living there. Marjorie was an avid reader and passed on her love for reading to all her children. Mom’s greatest and noblest calling in life was that of being the Mother of seven children, Bernard (Wendy Koeller), Calgary, AB; Mary Catherine (Andre Ruel), Courtenay, BC; Jacqueline (Fraser East), Nelson, BC; Philip (Bonny Nerenberg), Parksville, BC; Louise (deceased May 28, 2006) Castlegar, BC; Gerard (Nadene Gregory), Dunneville, Ontario; Gisele (Lamarche) Trail, BC. Mom was very proud of her 23 grandchildren and 26 great grandchildren. The funeral for Marjorie, will be held at St. Rita’s Catholic Church Hall, 513 7th Avenue, Castlegar, BC V1N 1R3, at 11am on Saturday May 4th, 2013. The viewing will be held prior from 10:00-10:30am at St. Rita’s Hall. Marjorie’s heart was broken by the fire at St. Rita’s, so donations can be made, in lieu of flowers, to St. Rita’s Rebuilding Fund. Sarah Greenwood of Castlegar Funeral Chapel has been entrusted with the arrangements.

RENDAN COULTER felt better than usual that day. The 15-year-old Kamloops RiverDog brought his A-game. He was accurate. He was packing heat. Pitching a no-hitter, though — nobody saw that coming. “I think it was about the sixth inning I started to realize, wow, they don’t have a hit yet,” said Coulter, standing two weeks later on the Bantam 2 field mound on McArthur Island where the magic happened on April 13. “I actually have a chance at throwing a no-hitter.” Coulter threw a breadand-butter fastball to the Burnaby Braves’ batter — the would-be 21st out of
the seven-inning game. Swing and a miss. Strike 3. Ball game. “The catcher ran in to give me a handshake and everyone ran in to congratulate me,” said Coulter, a South Kamloops secondary student. “It hadn’t really sunk in yet. I hadn’t realized, whoa, I just threw a no-hitter.” The bantam AAA RiverDogs, in their first regular-season tilt of the 2013 campaign, blanked the Braves 3-0. Coulter walked three batters, including one in the first inning, so a perfect game was never in the cards. There was another stat worth discussing — one that almost cut the 6-foot-3 hurler’s day agonizingly short. “Pitchers in our league are allowed to throw 95 pitches in a day,” Dogs’ head coach Brandon
Sherwood said. “He started the last batter at 94, so he was allowed to finish that batter.” The pitch count — along with a zillion other distracting thoughts — was on Coulter’s mind, with the game growing older and the accomplishment inching closer to reality. “I was very aware because I really wanted to finish the game,” said Coulter, who finished the outing with nine strikeouts. “Toward the end, after every inning, I would ask the person who keeps the pitch count how many pitches I had.” Coulter’s father, Jeff, a partner at Fulton and Company, was also keeping track. He was the scorekeeper. “I was grateful that there were no controversial plays,” Jeff said. “Let’s put it that way — no judgment calls to be made.
“It was absolutely incredible. I was a very, very, very proud dad.” Proud, yes. Nervous? Oh yeah. “The nerves were pretty extreme,” Jeff said. “Even the other team knew what was going on because they were screaming from the dugout in the last inning that they had to break up the no-hitter. “When it was over, to be honest, it was kind of a feeling of relief.” Coulter’s mom, Michelle, was on soccer duty that day, watching Brendan’s sister play. That might have been a good thing. “She said she must be a jinx because whenever she comes, we always lose,” Coulter said. “She’s not allowed to come anymore.” He was joking, of course. “She was upset that she missed it,” said Coulter,
Brendan Coulter pitched a no-hitter for the bantam AAA Kamloops RiverDogs on April 13, walking three batters and striking out nine. Dave Eagles photos/KTW
noting the stellar defensive play of his teammates made the feat possible. Kamloops Minor Baseball Association officials said Coulter’s no-hitter is likely the only thrown in bantam RiverDogs’ history. He was almost in the record books again this past weekend. Coulter struck out 10 batters in a one-hit, 7-2 victory over the Victoria Red Eagles at Unwin Park in Surrey on Sunday, April 28. A college baseball career might be in Coulter’s future but, for now, he’s still trying to wrap his head around what happened two weeks ago. “I was throwing really well that day,” he said. “As soon as I walked off, my dad said, ‘Congratulations, you pitched a great game,’ and kind of hugged me a little bit.”

Critical Illness Insurance... Is it Worth It? A critical illness can happen to anyone and everyone knows someone who has been diagnosed with a critical illness – cancer, heart attack or stroke. We all think that this won’t happen to us! The Canadian Cancer Society will tell you that one in four Canadians are expected to die from cancer and that cancer is the leading cause of premature death in this country. 3,075 Canadians are diagnosed with cancer every week, there are 70,000 heart attacks and between 40,000 to 50,000 strokes annually. These statistics are frightening, as are the costs related to these critical illnesses. In recent years, medical advances have led to increased life expectancy and the ability to recover from various illnesses. Thanks to these advances, you’re much more likely to suffer a critical illness and live, then you are to die suddenly – which means financial hardship is likely what will be left behind.

So, critical illness insurance – is it worth it? If you find yourself diagnosed with any of the 25 critical illnesses covered, critical illness insurance gives you the ability to focus on your recovery by eliminating the financial stress that often accompanies many of these illnesses. Your critical illness insurance can be used to pay your mortgage; look after your family or pay for those medical costs incurred that may not be covered by the government or by your employment health benefits. Yes, it is definitely worth it!

Dylana Milobar of the Kamloops Classic Swimming club will attend California State University Bakersfield in September. KTW file photo
By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Dylana Milobar has committed to swim for California State University Bakersfield (CSUB), a Division 1 NCAA school. “When I went there, it just felt really right,� said Milobar, who had plenty of offers from which to choose. “They have a really competitive program. I knew that it would better my swimming.� The 17-year-old Valleyview secondary graduate is a longtime member of the Kamloops Classic Swimming club, a program she holds dear to her heart. “I’ve been swimming with them since I was 7, so it’s been like my second family,� Milobar said. “[Classics’ head coach Brad Dalke] is kind of like a second dad. It’s his fifth year
coaching me.� Dalke, along with the up-and-coming swimmer’s real dad, Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar, and mother, Lianne, have watched Dylana blossom in the pool. She took major strides last season, winning rookie of the meet at the Canadian Summer Nationals in Edmonton. In March, Milobar made the qualifying standard in 50-metre breaststroke for national-team trials. She did not crack the Canadian squad heading to Spain in July for the world championships, but there will likely be more opportunities down the road. “We did a lot of research on the different schools,� Dalke said. “The good thing is [CSUB] is supportive of our national program.�
Dalke has mixed feelings about seeing his best swimmers leave. “It’s great to see them go and have the experiences, but it would be really nice to keep those kids at home,� said Dalke, noting Milobar will spend summers in Kamloops swimming for the Classics. In September 2014, the TRU WolfPack is expected to launch a varsity swimming program, one Dalke would coach. Local talent will then have the option
to swim and pursue an education in the River City after high school. Among the schools explored by Milobar were the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Simon Fraser University, the University of Alberta and Barnard College in New York. Attending Barnard would have meant swimming for its affiliate school, Columbia University, but, according to Lianne, it just “didn’t pan out.� CSUB offered to waive substantial outof-state tuition fees,

which Dalke said can run into the $30,000 to $40,000 range. Milobar plans to pursue a degree in journalism. In the meantime, she would like to make a few headlines of her own. “I want to see how far I can go,� she said. “Ideally, I’d like to make Canada’s national team. That’s the ultimate goal.�

Life wouldn’t be the same without mining. Think you don’t need mining? Mining helps us with just about every aspect of our modern lives. Cell phones, computers, appliances, bicycles, buses, cars, homes and electricity are just a few of the things that require minerals and metals. Besides that, mining is one of BC’s biggest generators of jobs and tax revenue.
Stampede Queen ‘not to be missed’ By Don Levasseur SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
The title is Never Shoot a Stampede Queen, but placing a notso-pretty photo in the Williams Lake Tribune newspaper is funny and needed to be done. Well, that’s what the editor thought when he decided to take the photos shot by a brand new — and maybe a little bit naive — 22-yearold journalist from the big city of Vancouver (played by Ryan Beil).
Who needs mining? We all do. Ask your candidate where they stand. Go to votemining.ca
This adaptation of the awardwinning book by Mark Leiren-Young takes you on a journey that had me and the audience laughing — and even joining in a bit of song. Beil brought to life the many distinct characters who resided in Williams Lake circa 1986. Never Shoot a Stampede Queen — making its world premiere with Western Canada Theatre — is great show for all ages and is not to be missed. The production runs until May 4.

Kelowna-based wine store comes to Kamloops CATCH ALL THE SAVINGS
‘We got hugs from people when we told them we were opening’ By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
E
VERY TIME someone buys a bottle of B.C wine that meets the standards of the Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA), the economic impact is $42. Buy a bottle of an imported wine and the impact is $4, said Tracy Gray, owner of Discover Wines, which opened in Kamloops late last month. The province’s wine industry supports about 10,000 jobs, Gray said of the statistics produced by the Canadian Vintners Association, from planting through to retail sales. The store at 416-500 Notre Dame Dr., next to the BCAA outlet, is the second one for Gray, who started the business a decade ago in Kelowna. She entered in the industry in 1989, working as a tour guide at Mission Hill Winery in Westbank, working her way up in the industry with jobs in the Okanagan and Vancouver. Gray spent about eight years studying the Kamloops market, analyzing business trends, with plenty of more intense work put into the project in the past 18 months, once the decision to expand was made. Customers played a major role in the delib-
erations, she said. “People from Kamloops would come to the store and say ‘Please open in Kamloops.’ Hundreds, thousands of them. People would say this is their favourite store. “We got hugs from people when we said we were opening here.” Being within walking distance of a provincial liquor store is more a reflection of choosing the right location, Gray said. Her decision was based on two pages of factors, including traffic flow, parking ease, access to shipping facilities and like-minded and complementary stores. “Besides, we carry different products than they do there,” Gray said. “Some are the same, but most are different.

“I’ve already spoken with someone there and we’ll work well together.” The store carries only B.C. wines and supplements the inventory with artisanal foods produced in locations
across the province. There are educational opportunities, a wine club that ships a case to members every two months and a daily free wine-sampling counter on site. X See STAFF B5

Staff given winery training in Okanagan X From B4
Four per cent of all VQA wine sales is sent to the B.C. Wine Institute, which uses the money generated to promote provincial VQA wines and assist wineries participating in international wine competitions. Since starting the business, Gray has been recognized with several awards, including several for women entrepreneurs. The Kelowna outlet was named the best local wine store in 2009 by Okanagan Life magazine and, in 2012, Eat magazine named it the best wine store in the Okanagan in its Readers’ Choice Awards. Four staff were hired; two have already been sent on a fourday, 30-wine tour from the Lake District to Keremeos.
Having staff wellversed in the product — as well as always having more than one salesperson in the store — is essential for Gray. “My accountant doesn’t like it, but it’s what I believe in,” she said. The company also gives back to its community and Gray is looking for charities to support. She’s already decided the Kamloops Art Gallery will be one and she is actively searching for others. Any organization that wants some support can submit their request into a draw made monthly, the only way to be fair to the many requests from other fundraisers, non-profit groups and other people who are looking for some contribution.

HEN RIA CAMERON WRITES NOW, SHE TRIES TO VISUALIZE EVERY ASPECT OF HER CHARACTERS. Their hair, their eyes, what they are wearing, maybe the jewelry they have on — anything that helps her write will help her readers see the pictures she is creating. The Grade 8 student at Brocklehurst middle school credits the annual Young Authors Conference last year for that tip and many others she now tries to use as she creates. For Eric Jin, a Grade 6 student at Aberdeen elementary, the conference “definitely helped, I learned a few things about writing.” Both will be in attendance again this year as the conference brings together students who love to write with writers who love to teach students for the 2013 instalment of the school districtsponosred event on Friday, May 3, at Thompson Rivers University. It’s a full day of sessions with guest authors Dianna Bonder, Lee Edward Fodi, Larry Loyie and Crystal Stranaghan for the elementary students and Maggie de Vries, K.C. Dyer, Karen Hofmann and Shawn Peters for the secondary-
school contingent. “I wouldn’t miss it,” Ria said. Her writing has now grown to include stories on an alter ego she has created, Allistor, and she’s looking forward to learning more about how to develop those stories. Writing comes easily to her — “sort of” — Rita said, but she’s eager to soak up all the ideas, suggestions and hints she expects to hear. Eric is also looking forward to the sessions because he’s had a love or writing “since I was a little kid.” It’s not always easy for him, he said, and what he learns from the visiting authors helps. “It’s sort of complicated sometimes,” he said of his writing process. “You can’t mess up too much. Sometimes I have to go back and that can get irritating.” Students taking part must provide a manuscript of no more than 1,000 words to be assessed as part of the conference. Awards will be presented during closing ceremonies at 2:30 p.m. in the Clock Tower Building.

Dense and glommy, it would snag the prickly little unknown entity and drag it on down my digestive tract, no questions asked. But, it’s past midnight. And the last thing I need is a gob of pointless calories before bedtime. If I’m being forced to snack, to sabotage any dietary brownie points I may have gained throughout the day, it may as well be good. So, rather than tear off a corner of multigrain, I open the cutlery drawer, pull out a spoon and let it sink through one of the
caramelized apple cornmeal cakes sitting on the top shelf. The recipe, having been poached from a local chef who’s been responsible for some of my favourite caloric downfalls, is moist and has a delicate crumb. Yet, with the cornmeal, it has enough substance that it might, also, do the trick. After one mouthful, I warm up the rest of the individual portion, enjoy it down to every last morsel and go back upstairs to rebrush my teeth. When I’m done this time, I spit out three toothbrush bristles and make a note to call the Reach corporation in the morning. Mystery solved. onepotato2potato@shaw.ca
In a medium bowl, sift together cornmeal, flour and baking powder. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, until combined. Add dry mixture to wet in three batches, alternating with sour cream (dry-sour-dry-sour-dry). Beat only until combined. In a large skillet over high heat, combine brown sugar and water. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for about three minutes after it begins to bubble. Add diced apples (this will halt caramelization and create a syrup) and stir for one minute. Turn off heat and let sit to cool somewhat. Divide syrup and apples between 14 custard cups or ramekins. Top with batter. Place cups on a baking sheet and bake at 350 F for 30 to 35 minutes, until a tester inserted into the centre of the cakes comes out clean. Transfer cups to a cooking rack and cool completely. To serve, invert a cup over a serving plate (you may need to loosen sides a little with a butter knife). Recipe by Brett Thompson, chef de partie, Kelowna Yacht Club

HEY MOM! ENTER TO WIN Lessons FORE four + FORE Rounds of Golf at the Beautiful Dunes! Mothers Day Contest Entry Form
What’s in a name? “Mommy” is just a small, two-syllable word and yet it is so important to every one of us. Often the first word spoken by babies, “Mommy” represents the magical heart of the everexpanding universe of young children. The relationship between a child and its mother or mother figure cannot be compared to any other human relationship. In the best of worlds, “Mommy” evokes gentleness and firmness, kisses and hugs. She is the angel of the night come to rescue us from nightmares. She is the nurse who tends to scraped knees, the caregiver who
dons an apron to prepare healthy meals and the fairy who never forgets to make you a birthday cake. She is the one who feels the pain of your heartache and who will always defend you when you’re attacked. Your mother is the one who knows you best, the one who helps you overcome obstacles and dreams of a beautiful future for you. She helps you build your confidence and surpass yourself. She shows you the value of wisdom rather than misplaced pride. Baby birds grow up and leave the nest to lead their own lives.
With maturity, a growing child learns discernment and sees parents for the human beings they are, with their strengths and weaknesses. Rather than spoiling their love, this discovery is often the source of a closer relationship for adult children and their mothers. Even if your childhood was less than ideal, the affection that unites you both will only grow as you understand that your mother did the best she could with the resources she had. Make this Mother’s Day a time of gratitude. Thank your mom for guiding you and helping you become the adult you are today.

MOTHER’S DAY
Presence, not presents It’s a no-brainer that to show your mom how much you love her you could shower her with gifts — flowers, chocolates, a gift certificate for a spa or a new book she’s been waiting to read. But, if you really want to touch her heart, don’t forget to give a little of the most precious gift all — your time. All the finest gifts in the world could never replace your presence. You could invite her to have brunch at her favourite
B
restaurant or spend some time with her preparing some homecooked meals to freeze. You could take her for a walk in the park where you used to go together when you were young, which is sure to evoke many happy memories for both of you. Leaf through old photo albums together or ask her to tell you about the happiest times of her life. Laughter and even a few tears will likely accompany the stories.
Your mother may need help with work around her home. Take advantage of her special day to do some helpful chores. You could clean the outsides of windows or help her do a bit of spring cleaning. No matter what your plans are for this May 12, be sure to spend some quality time with the person who raised you. In fact, why not make a resolution to set aside an entire day for your mom every year on Mother’s Day. She deserves it.

TRAVEL
Travel back in time in present-day Oxford By Chris Millikan TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES travelwriterstales.com
A
n esteemed university town since the mid-13th century, Oxford recently educated us with some remarkable sights, starting with renowned Oxford University itself. At first visitors like us are surprised to find no single campus and we soon realize that its 38 distinguished colleges are scattered throughout this walkable historic town. Too daunting a task to see them all, we concentrate on locating the earliest. Lavishly embellished with gargoyle spigots and dramatic grotesques, towers and turrets, meticulous garden quads and even age-old climbing wisteria, we locate University 1249, which expelled Shelley for his unruly behaviour. Considered the most beautiful with its pastoral riverside location, deer park and Addison Walk, Magdalen College’s square medieval bell tower still rises above High Street. Here, Roundhead rebels captured Charles I during the Civil War. Opposite, we find the Botanic Gardens, established in 1621 to grow medicinal plants, as well as “to promote the furtherance of learning.” The university’s Bodleian, one of Europe’s oldest libraries, houses 50,000 Latin manuscripts, 11,000 rare items like a marriage contract on papyrus from 600 BC, Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary — the first published in English —
and more than five million books. Seating ourselves on the Divinity School’s archaic wooden benches, our guide tells us that for many years, oral examinations for all colleges were held in this hallowed chamber, the venerable teaching and examination room established in 1427. “There’s evidence that teaching went on here at Oxford as early as 1096,” she smiles, “and on through the ages — five kings, 25 British prime ministers and esteemed writers such as Oscar Wilde, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkein studied in reading rooms upstairs.” The Bodleian added circular 18th-century Radcliffe Camera (“camera” meaning “room” in Italian) in the square next door. Considered the most aristocratic of all the colleges, Christ Church College’s 12th-century Norman cathedral serves all of Oxford and its Tom Tower great bell tolls each evening at nine o’clock. Other academic institutions around the world have replicated some of this college’s distinctive architectural features. In addition to academics, this magnificent college has long been connected with children’s literature and, more recently, with movie making. Years ago, Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was written here. Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited and Philip Pullman’s novel Northern Lights were set throughout the college.
Overlooking Oxford’s spires from 13th-century St. Martin’s stone Tower, aka Carfax Tower, in the city centre.
And, we visit wizard world during our enchanting afternoon, locating spots where magical scenes for J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series were filmed. Established in 1683, Britain’s first public museum helped educate the scholarly community. The Ashmolean was originally built to house a remarkable collection of curiosities donated to Oxford University by Elias Ashmole. Nowadays, five floors of galleries exhibit extensive, wondrous collec-
tions, including Egyptian sculptures, Michaelangelo’s drawings, antiquities from Knossis and Pisarro’s Portrait of Jeanne. Oxford also exudes English history all along its winding cobbled streets. At the junction of four ancient routes in the town centre, the remains of 13th-century St. Martin’s Church rises 23 meters. Climbing the tower’s 99 narrow stone steps, we gaze over Oxford’s spires and identify Saxon Tower dating to 1040, the city’s oldest

standing structure. Afterward, we stroll the remains of Oxford Castle near the birthplace of King Richard and his brother, John. The Martyr’s Memorial recalls Catholic Queen Mary’s burning of three Anglican bishops in 1535. And, as devoted
fans of Colin Dexter’s Inspector Morse, we make a pilgrimage to his posh bar in the Randolph Hotel across the street. A bus later takes us to the 17th-century Trout Inn just outside Oxford, another of the detective’s favourite haunts. Seated on its sunny
terrace sipping Pimms, we watch mallards cadge tidbits, gaze into the rushing Thames and visualize Morse seated at the next table. Our server observes, “Long before being featured in the Morse novels, the Trout was a popular hangout for earlier writers — like C.S. Lewis.” And in gardens across the river we sight a sculptured lion — Aslan from his Narnia tales. Back downtown, the Victorian-styled Town Hall’s museum provides two small galleries that teach us about Oxford’s development since its founding in 810. In the modern gallery, we take four virtual bike rides around town, reviewing sites we’d already encountered on foot a perfect way to wrap up our informative stay in Oxford.

FAITH
God with us — theophanies of the Bible “In the beginning was the Word . . . and the Word was God . . . so the Word became flesh and dwelled among us.” — John 1:1, 14 HEOPHANIES are physical manifestations of God or a god. Most religions, both ancient and modern, have accounts of theophanies in their sacred writings. The majority of Christians are quite familiar with the prominent ones — the burning/not burning bush on Mount Sinai, God’s voice calling to the boy Samuel in the night, the sound of the footsteps of God in the garden of Eden, et cetera. Frankly, I’m more interested in what some theologians call “Christophanies” — pre-Jesus manifestations of Christ. Theophanies by definition are those where the person is certain that they are experiencing the physical presence of God.
T

My face, for no man can see Jacob also claimed to
have seen the face of God. In Genesis 32, he “wrestles with a man” and receives a new name, Israel, which means, “He struggles with God.” The “man” touches Jacob’s hip and dislocates it, leaving him with a permanent limp. Israel declares, “I have seen God face to face, yet my life has been preserved.” Since seeing God face to face is not possible, the most logical explanation for this night-long wrestling match is a Christophany. Another likely Christophany occurs in Abraham’s conversation with three supernatural visitors. This occurs in Genesis 18 where the opening verse states, “The Lord appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre.” The account tells of the visit of three “men” (the other two are angels later sent to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah), whom Abraham provides with a meal.
The Lord announces that Sarah and Abraham will have a child, though both are well into old age. The story of Gideon seems to blend the role of “the Angel of the Lord” with a Christophany. In Judges 6, it says, “Then the angel of the Lord came and sat under the oak that was in Oprah.” Angel suggests a supernatural creation, but just a few verses later, it says (the context clearly indicates the “angel” is the one speaking), “The Lord looked at him and said.” Gideon asks for a sign that he is indeed speaking with the Lord. He obliges by incinerating the meal Gideon has offered with a touch of his staff, then vanishing. Gideon says, “I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.” I believe that everywhere in the Old Testament that “the”Angel of the Lord is
used (as opposed to “an” angel), it is a Christophany. My last example, in Genesis 14, is not quite as clear cut. Melchizedek was the king/high priest of Salem, to whom Abraham gives war booty and receives a blessing in return. Who was he? Why does the writer of the book of Hebrews infer some very supernatural qualities to him (without father, without mother, without geneology, having neither beginning of days or end of life, but made like the Son of God, [Hebrews 7:3])? The evidence suggests that Melchizedek, whose name means “king of righteousness,” was a Christophany. Understanding the Bible, and the nature of God, is complex and demanding, yet extremely fascinating. Christophanies are examples that God has been “with us” from the very beginning.
