As work continues on the intersection outside Kamloops City Hall, the city will create a second property-tax collection site at McArthur Island between June 2 and July 2 at a cost of $45,000. Dave Eagles/KTW

WHY $45,000 FOR ONE-MONTH TAX OFFICE? • $20,000 for two clerical staffers, a bylaws officer and a part-time manager.

• $12,000 for advertising the second site and for signage on McArthur Island.

• $9,500 for construction, office furniture, computers and other setup costs.

• $500 for armoured-car collection of tax payments.

City: $45K temporary tax-site cost necessary

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city’s director of finance is “not happy” it will cost $45,000 to set up a second property-tax payment site on McArthur Island, but said the cost is what is required to secure and staff the site.

With the intersection at First Avenue and Victoria Street in front of Kamloops City Hall undergoing a major realignment until fall, the city hopes to direct the 9,000 people who usually pay their taxes in person to the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre, where a remote payment station will be set up in the curling rink from June 2 to July 2.

The cost of the setup raised

some eyebrows on Kamloops city council and in the general public, but Edwards said the price tag is largely staff-based.

About $20,000 of the cost will go to paying two additional clerical staffers and a part-time manager to man the McArthur Island office, as well as a bylaws officer.

“I don’t have that kind of extra staff to have two sites for collection,” Edwards said.

While the city assigns a bylaw officer to monitor the oft-congested city hall parking lot each year during tax time, Edwards said it will also need an officer at the McArthur Island office “with a panic button on his vest at the door.”

“We have to make this site as secure as possible for staff and

for cash purposes, and for people’s information, the tax bills,” she said.

The site will also be fenced off, part of the $9,500 cost for construction, office furniture, computer equipment and other setup costs included in the $45,000 figure.

Another $500 will be spent on armoured-car collections.

Edwards said while McArthur is easily accessible with plenty of free parking, there is a trade-off when it comes to security because it’s relatively isolated.

“It’s not like being at city hall, where you have all those other staff around and all those people,” she said.

Also included in the costs for the site is $12,000 for advertising

DL#30409

the second site and for signage to direct taxpayers to the curling rink and away from high-school graduation activities also taking place on the island.

The remaining money will cover any other expenses that crop up.

Edwards agreed the cost of the second payment centre is expensive.

“We are not happy about the $45,000,” she said. “It’s a lot of money.”

But, she said, the city is making up the cost in other areas.

“We tendered the First Avenue project early in the year to get a better price on the award — and we got a better price,” she said.

“So, the message is that we are saving substantially more than

1455 Iron Mask Road, Kamloops 250-828-2200 www.schultzmotorsports.com

the $45,000 on the capital project that’s happening on First Avenue than the cost to set up this secondary site.”

Edwards said a raised staging area being built for the temporary tax-collection station on McArthur Island will go into storage once tax season ends, in case council wants to continue to offer a secondary payment site after construction on First Avenue is complete.

The finance department is also looking at offering more ways to pay taxes without coming to city hall, including payment drop-off boxes at the Tournament Capital Centre and other public buildings.

Property-tax bills may also be paid at banks or by mailing a post-dated cheque to the city.

Kamloops group says no thanks to no-brown apple

By Cam Fortems

GM Free Kamloops opposed to genetically modified apple

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

An Okanagan company that has used biotechnology to create an apple that doesn’t brown is seeking regulatory approval for its product, which could soon come to market.

But, a city resident concerned about proliferation of food containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) said the Arctic apple is a symbol of all that is wrong with modern food production.

GM Free Kamloops is opposing introduction to markets of the branded Arctic apple, joining a collection of agricultural and consumer groups fighting the fruit.

Okanagan Specialty Fruits, the Summerland-based company that is developing the apple for market, declined an interview request from KTW. The company’s email response: “While we appreciate your interest, and I hope you can find a good story, we aren’t doing interviews right now. All I can do is direct you to our websites, which both have some information on Neal’s [company owner Neal Carter] background and motivations.”

Its website claims the apple, which does not brown when cut, will entice people to eat more apples because they can be sliced and remain white.

The apples also better resist bruising, according to company literature.

The process does not slow decomposition.

The genetic modification does not involve genes from another organism. Instead, it modifies

the apple’s own genes to silence traits that causes browning.

The company planted orchards in several American states a decade ago and wants to first bring to market golden delicious and granny smith varieties with the altered genes.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture reopened a public comment period for the apple in December after it generated controversy.

The company is seeking to have the product deregulated in the U.S., declared as not being a threat to human health, environment or agriculture.

The company has stated publicly it is hoping to have its product available on shelves as early as next year.

“It’s more a case of aesthetics and convenience,” said Steven Hurst, who is leading opposition in Kamloops to approval of the apple.

“There’s no safety testing the public really has access to.”

Sliced apples sold commercially are sprayed with a product containing vitamin C to slow browning.

Lemon juice can also be used.

Genetically modified organisms are common among processed foods on grocery shelves.

Arctic apple varieties, if approved, would become among the first whole foods that consumers would bite into. Hurst said the company’s website notes it is working on genetic engi-

neering for cherries, pears and other fruits.

On its website, Okanagan Specialty Fruits has a list of frequently asked questions, once of which concerns why there is opposition to the Arctic apple.

The company’s response: “We don’t comment on the motives of others. We will assure you that the science behind Arctic apples is relatively simple and the trees and fruit are no different from other apple trees and fruit (until you bruise, bite or cut the fruit, that is). There’s no frankenfood here, folks — just a modern marriage of nature and science to solve apples’ pesky, costly browning problem.”

It’s not only organic advocates who are against the product.

B.C. Tree Fruit Growers released a statement late last year, saying the product will damage the market.

“The public thinks of apples as a pure, natural, healthy and nutritional fruit,” association president Jeet Dukhia said in a statement.

“GM apples are a risk to our market image.”

Hurst said concerns outside human health include cross-pollination through honeybees.

“They’re ready to go,” he said of the orchards in the U.S. as they prepare for production.

“That’s why it’s so important for the public to say, ‘Wait a minute, let’s look at this more closely.’”

Union: Victoria’s action will hurt students Stories by Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The president of the B.C. Teachers Federation said his union will not be intimidated by Premier Christy Clark, arguing the lockout decision by her B.C. Liberal government will impact provincial exams, graduations and extra-curriculum activities.

Jim Iker said the government’s phased lockout of teachers on Monday, May 25, “is more of the same behaviour from a premier and a government the B.C. Supreme Court has already ruled bargained in bad faith before.”

The B.C. Public School Employees’ Association (BCPSEA), which represents the province’s 60 school districts in contract negotiations, told the teachers’ union it will start a phased lockout of teachers on Monday, the day the union plans to start its four days of rotating strikes (teachers in Kamloops-Thompson are scheduled to strike on Wednesday, May 28).

The phased-in lockout means teachers will not be allowed into schools more than 45 minutes before classes begin and must be

out of the schools within 45 minutes of the final bell.

They cannot do any work during recesses, breaks and lunch hours.

Iker said this means teachers won’t be available to work with students who need extra help and cannot be involved in extracurricular activities.

If a deal is not reached by June 25, a full lockout of secondary-school teachers will be put in place and, if there is no deal by June 27, the lockout will expand to include elementary teachers.

Iker noted provincial exams are scheduled for June 24 and, if the lockout goes into effect, teachers will not be allowed to mark the exams or complete report cards, which will have an impact on students.

Iker said graduations will also be affected as teachers are not allowed into schools after the 45-minute period. He added summer school could also be affected if teachers remain locked out.

Iker said BCTF job action was designed to minimize the impact on students and families, with phase 1 aimed primarily at communicating with administration and refusing to do out-of-

class supervision.

Phase 2 — rotating strikes — were also designed to reduce the impact on students, who would just lose one day of instruction, Iker said.

He said previously announced clawbacks of teachers’ salaries — five per cent during phase 1 and 10 per cent during phase 2 — will be challenged next week at the province’s Labour Relations Board.

Calling the situation a “crisis in education,” Iker repeatedly noted the government has already been found to have violated the Constitution and teachers’ rights in previous bargaining when it removed the right to negotiate class size and composition.

The BCTF has tabled language that would set three special-needs students per class as a recommended level, noting districts should have flexibility to exceed limits if teachers can get the extra support needed to do so.

Iker said the union is open to mediation and supports the fact a facilitator is at the bargaining table to work with both sides.

“But, government has to come to the table and bring the necessary funding,” Iker said.

Cameron says BCTF is being insincere The government’s main negotiator said the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) is being insincere when it points to a move to restrict teachers’ access to schools before and after classes.

Peter Cameron told reporters the union’s own first phase of job action included not allowing teachers to be at the worksite one hour before class began or more than an hour afterward, other than for prearranged voluntary activities.

“So, we’re talking about 15 minutes,” Cameron said of the government’s phased lock-out of the union, which is scheduled to begin on Monday, May 25 — the same day BCTF rotating strikes will begin and continue to Thursday, May 29.

Cameron criticized BCTF president Jim Iker for pointing to that part of the lock-out — further steps will come into play as the dispute drags on — as the reason class excursions and graduations are in jeopardy.

He said the lockout plan may have to be tweaked in coming days, but suggested the BCTF needs to consider how it is defining its own prohibition of extra hours spent at schools.

Cameron also raised human rights as a problem in addressing the union’s tabled language of no more than three special-needs students in a classroom, allowing for some flexibility in certain circumstances on a district-by-district basis.

The negotiator gave a hypothetical of a woodworking class with three special-needs students in

it. If a fourth wanted to take the course, the union’s language would preclude it, he said.

“And that’s an invitation to a human-rights problem.”

Cameron said he and other negotiators with the B.C. Public School Employees Association (BCSPSEA) are not taking direction from Premier Christy Clark and called Iker’s characterization of the employer’s newest pressure tactic as the “Christy Clark lockout” unprofessional and unfair.

He acknowledged his team is in contact with the Ministry of Education and consults with it, but said the lockout decision rests with the BCPSEA. Camerons said the plan is seen as the best one to avoid causing any impact on students and their families, yet put pressure on teachers.

He added the five per cent and 10 per cent clawback of wages if the current job action continues and during the next stage of rotating strikes could have been larger amounts, but said those figures were chosen “to characterize and analyze what the impact on us would be” as the teachers continue to refuse out-of-class supervision or to communicate in writing with administration.

Cameron dismissed the idea of legislating teachers back to work as an option, saying it would be a “problematic solution.”

He said the BCTF has a long history of fighting with all governments, including Social Credit the New Democrats and the current B.C. Liberal regime.

ABOVE THE LAW: Killing us Softly, Eat At Your Own Risk

Sometimes it’s hard not to lose faith in humanity, people are so dumb down and ignorant to such obvious bs, its pathetic! A new word that should be included in Merriam dictionary; “Sheople”; citizens who blindly follow without question or change of direction. Indeed the majority of us have no problem following government law over the preverbal cliff because its “legal”. Doesn’t matter what it is government goose-steps the majority of people over the cliff; On one hand we have the scientists ringing the alarm on climate change warning the world it cannot continue this insane addiction to fossil fuels, mining and dollar store whore manufacturing monstrosity. Yet Sheople “think” , if it is not illegal it must be ok...it must be ok to drive big gas guzzling pigs, it must be ok to burn plastic garbage, it must be ok to cook food in a micro wave, it must be ok to eat chemical preservatives, msg, yoga mat in bread, aspartame and GMO foods, it must be ok to have blue air, it must be ok for corporations to pay no taxes,’n strip mine mother earth.... it must be ok if government says so.

Today’s food resembles more of a science lab than farm produce; processed food built on preservatives MSG chemical sugar replacements and a Genetically Modified Organics lottery you play each time you enter the store because stores are not required to warn you of the possible side effects, or government immunity of liability; “EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK”.

But mmmm, sure tastes good doesn’t it? Do we really need a phD to see the obvious: in today’s technological world anyone can find many reports proving using microwaves give off radiation, destroys food nutrition, and cooking in plastic containers using microwaves contaminates food, yet how many rely on microwaves daily? Teflon, the non stick coating also has all sorts of health risks no one seems to care about.

You would think the professionals would have an eye for detail, but I would give my left nut for a restaurant that paid close attention to detail; who didn’t use Styrofoam containers, plastic cooking containers or utensils in hot food, or cook in Teflon or aluminum pans..

Please people start learning to think for yourselves, think outside the box society has put you in. There is this really great invention called “paper plates/takeout containers”. We will stop destroying mother earth only when the demand for destruction ends, including our infatuation of plastics; it will be of no value to future generations to say that everyone else was doing it. For 100 years we have known cooking with aluminum is toxic because of the low melting point of aluminum, it off-gasses toxins into food, yet look at the propaganda pushing aluminum containers and foil to cooking in, sheople line up to the slaughterhouse; while we wonder why our healthcare system is bankrupted with ALS, MS, and many other horrible diseases plaguing society. When will we learn we are what we eat?

Truly criminal what government puts their stamp of approval on; plastic BPA has long been known to cause all sorts of issues with human tissue, yet canned food is lined with BPA crap like it was Christmas wrapping. Aspartame; the chemical weapon any terrorist would be proud to unleash such devastation on a nation; now practically corporate law to replace sugar with this poison so that kids now over dose on aspartame leaving permanent damage instead of a harmless sugar rush.. Truth is Aspartame and many of these other additives should come with a warning like cigarettes do, because they are just as harmful; a result of government subrogated by corporations who act [with immunity] ABOVE THE LAW!

The photo was taken in the very year Hitler’s actions in Europe sparked the Second World War. From 1939 to 2014, the monarchy and the führer continue to be newsworthy.

A ROYAL RAIL TOUR

Kamloops school trustees will have a full plate on Monday, May 26, the day the teachers’ union starts rotating strikes in the province and the government responds with a phased lock-out.

• One of the most contentious items on the agenda is a report to trustees on the future of Stuart Wood elementary school.

The board previously announced plans to close the downtown school, moving the students and staff to the current site of Beattie School of the Arts elementary campus on McGill Road. It would move those students and staff to join with Beattie’s secondary campus in the former John Peterson secondary building.

To do that, however, means moving the South Kamloops

students now using part of that building for classes back into their own building, which the board has already decided needs to be replaced.

The board took the issue to the public in late March and trustees will receive an update on where the discussion now rests.

• Before that discussion, however, trustees will be updated on the job action by teachers.

Kamloops is scheduled to see picket lines on Wednesday, May 28, as part of the four days of rotating B.C. Teachers Federation strike and it is expected support, clerical and other office staff will not cross the picket lines.

• School-improvement plans for Rayleigh, Sun Peaks and Heffley Creek elementaries, Valleyview secondary and the Twin Rivers Education Centre will also be presented and reviewed.

Treasures in the snow must have many tales to tell

A

S WE REACHED THE border between spring and winter, I was reminded of my mesh footwear.

Slushy snow seeped into my running shoes and I officially crossed into committed territory.

I should have known alpine hiking in May would probably mean snow.

Our group continued through, sinking with each step into what was once fluffy white stuff and which was now slushy and brownish goop.

We strategized our footwork, taking refuge on grassy knolls, logs and other traces of earth, adding another level to our game.

We couldn’t turn back because the GPS said we were metres from finding our treasure.

Our ambitious Sun Peaks geocaching adventure eventually paid off as we signed our names on the tiny scroll and made our way back to dry land.

We tailored the rest of the day, however, to be less soggy by staying closer to base level.

We took in the mountain beauty by the light of spring and approached the bunny hill.

I pictured miniature snowsuits and clumsily crossed skis in place of the newly formed creek that had resulted from a melting run.

We walked along the stream and a curious piece of Styrofoam filtered through the channel.

“How did that get there?” I wondered.

We continued toward our next cache, huffing up the run that was once so easy to glide down on my snowboard.

I stared up with envy at the lifeless chairlifts that would effortlessly bring hikers up the mountain, beginning in June. We stopped briefly and noticed a small bottle of bourbon.

No, this was not a mirage or surprise watering hole. It was just the bottle — an empty bottle that looked rather old.

“How long has that been there?” I thought.

We located two more geocaches in the next hour, but we made several other discoveries while scaling the slopes.

We found money, remnants of fireworks, other beverage containers, the button flap from a jacket and a wrench.

Items lost during the ski season had reappeared with the melting of the snow.

On New Year’s Eve, fireworks mark the impending calendar change on the mountain; the wrench had taken on a rustier persona and I imagined someone pulling their jacket flap, tearing it as they quickly raced toward the bottom.

Stories were swapped about ski trips that ended with missing items — keys, an iPod and money.

It all made me wonder what else is found at Sun Peaks when the snow melts.

I contacted mountain staff and learned about a lost and found located at guest services in the Village Day Lodge. Phone 250-578-7878 if you’ve lost something on the hill.

But, I also learned how one lost item was reunited with its owner.

Aidan Kelly, director of sales and marketing, said a camera was found last year by a maintenance worker after the melt.

The SD card was intact and the photographs were preserved.

The employee posted some of the pictures on the online resource website camerafound.com that reconnects people with lost cameras.

I took a glance at the site myself and, though I found nothing currently listed under a search of “Kamloops” or “Sun Peaks,” there were 3,569 lost cameras archived across the world.

Lost memories could be seen from wedding photos, travel photos and, yes, the odd selfie.

Though Kelly said the camera found at Sun Peaks was destroyed, the family was reunited with their memories through the site.

They had apparently travelled from out of town to the mountain and who knows what memories were captured on that SD card?

Maybe the first time skiing or perhaps a first encounter with snow?

Maybe a life milestone was celebrated?

Maybe it was just full of selfies.

Whatever the photo or memory, it seems geocaches aren’t the only treasures to be found in the snow. jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @KTWjess

It is time to make the right decisions With the May long weekend behind us, we have firmly moved into the most dangerous season.

Oh, how we long to have a season with no tragic news stories.

No crashes, no fires, no deaths, no crying parents and teens filled with regret.

However, if history offers any clue to the future, there will likely be ample drunk and stoned drivers, loud and obnoxious partiers, lost and possibly injured hikers, tipped canoes with cold paddlers and wayward boaters.

Not only do these problems overtax the emergency workers and volunteer rescuers who run to help in times of trouble, they put the entire public at risk.

Yes, there will be extra police presence and more roadblocks to help deal with the influx of troublemakers, from the purely naive who don’t think anything could happen to them, to those who carelessly put others’ lives at risk.

At the outset of every summer season, as sun worshippers and thrill seekers flock outdoors in search of a little downtime, we hope calmer heads will prevail over those who wish to cause trouble.

We hope visitors and locals alike keep safety a priority, even in times of spontaneity.

Because when it comes to summertime safety, the rules were not made to be broken.

Drive and operate watercraft sober.

• Wear a life-jacket when boating.

• Stay hydrated.

• Hike with others, know your travel plans and pack safety gear.

• Know your limits when swimming, biking and enjoying the outdoors.

Using just a bit of caution and care can keep your beautiful summer from becoming a tragic news story.

Most of these tragedies are preventable — and all of them start with one person making a decision.

This summer, make the right ones.

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Letter: No Perks to having kids read the book:

“If we’re banning books from school libraries on the basis that they discuss ‘sex, drugs, crime, horror, cruelty and violence,’ then we’ll have to ban Shakespeare from the curriculum, too.� — posted by Maria

Re: Story: Will B.C. Lions’ roar be muffled at training camp?:

“We can safely assume full training camps will not start on June 1. “Sad for the city and especially sad for the CFL and its fans.� — posted by Lawrence Beaton

Re: Letter: How does a one-month office cost $45,000?:

“The city loves to spend money it doesn’t need to spend. “Those parking kiosks that everyone hates? I asked where the revenue came from to pay for those and they said it was from meter revenue. “Somehow I doubt it. “In any case, why spend the money to change something that wasn’t a problem?� — posted by James

Rotating strikes a ‘disgrace’

Renewable resource?

Editor: I am very sad and disappointed at the most recent move by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to proceed with rotating strikes.

I have two children in elementary school and find it a disgrace their education will be disrupted for the purpose of pressuring the government.

Despite only being an outside observer to the ongoing battle between the two parties, and accepting the government does not always play fair, there still was a decent contract offer on the table that would have contributed to a stable education system for at least a few years.

I now think the government should insist on a 10-year deal, not add any benefits, uphold existing ones, have a wage increase comparable to that which other unions received (and have accepted) and be done with it.

Class size and composition should be removed from the contract and handled separately.

Yes, being a good teacher is a remarkable job, but so, too, do nurses, police officers, paramedics and a host of other employee groups do excellent work for all of us.

I believe teaching could be classified as an essential service, thus eliminating any idea of striking and not teaching.

Whether it is May 2011 (when this photo was taken) or May 2014, the walkway under the CP Bridge between Riverside and Pioneer parks is almost always flooded, necessitating detours. KTW file photo

TIME TO FIX THE FLOODING

Editor: It is so unfortunate the walkway between Riverside and Pioneer parks is closed every spring due to flooding.

Out of the four months of the year this walkway is most used, it’s closed for two months.

All it takes, I assume, is a short dyke under the railway bridge.

Is it CP Rail property? Is that why this isn’t done?

Let’s get this fixed.

It’s a real letdown and a blow to civic pride.

George Duncan Kamloops Editor’s note: Dyking the area is part of a 2015 parks plan by the City of Kamloops

MP McLeod’s fictional figures Editor: Not long ago, KamloopsThompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod went around to Kamloops media outlets, predicting billion-dollar-a-year losses for Canada Post.

She used this fictional figure to lobby Canada Post to reduce services in her riding.

Shortly thereafter, Canada Post slashed the Seymour Street post office from three service counters to a single counter hole in the wall.

The number of customers per day is now 50 per cent less than before.

McLeod then used the same billion-dollar figure to support a 50 per cent increase in postage rates to businesses, non-profit charities and citizens.

Many are now leaving Canada Post — not because of the service, but due to the increase in rates.

Not satisfied, McLeod then used the same figure to support the elimination of urban door-to-door delivery service, affecting seniors, the handicapped and others in her riding.

Canada Post recently reported a loss of $29 million in 2013 (well before the hike in postal rates) on increased revenue of $7.5 billion.

In fact, had Canada Post not spent $400 million on a shiny new plant in Richmond, it would have had a profit well over $200 million.

Once again, the businesses, charities and citizens of Kamloops and surrounding area have been victimized by our MP’s inability to tell fact from fiction.

The 2015 federal election cannot come soon enough.

Bob Mitchell Kamloops

Editor: I have a question about a statement on the Terasen bill.

It states natural gas is a “renewable resource.�

Other than the gas produced by eating certain foods, this is news to me. Since when did natural gas, the kind sold to us

by Terasen, become a renewable resource?

Can someone enlighten me?

I suppose if you tell the same fib long enough, everyone must think it’s true.

Now we can all be secure in the knowledge this source of energy will be here for our use forever and the federal and provincial governments can cancel all money going to research into alternative, “renewable� fuels.

I guess if a person really stretches the term “renewable,� we would have more natural gas after we, and all other life forms, have died and the residue is heated and compressed for thousands of years.

I looked up the definition of this fuel on Wikipedia and this is what I found: “Natural gas: Natural gas is a fossil fuel formed when layers of buried plants, gases and animals are exposed to intense heat and pressure over thousands of years.�

Behaviour of the North Thompson River as it peaks will help determine how many slaps are made to exposed legs, arms and necks this season. “We’re hoping the river will peak in the next few days and next week we’ll be launching a massive campaign from Vavenby to Kamloops,� said BWP Consulting owner Cheryl Phippen, who conducts mosquito control for the Thompson-Nicola Regional District.

The river, which typically peaks in late May or early June, is days away from reaching its maximum volume and will then begin to decline, she predicted. “The river is shooting straight up.�

The control program will be more effective if the river peaks only once, Phippen said.

BWP staff have already seeded snowmelt areas with a naturally occurring larvicide, including in Pinantan, Pritchard, Knutsford and Lac Le Jeune.

That program began on April 15. “We finished up there,�

Phippen said. “Now we’re waiting for the river to flood.�

Despite waiting for the river to peak before beginning the helicopter program, Phippen said some riverside areas that flooded earlier are already producing larvae, forcing early application of larvicide by air.

Once rivers peak, particularly the North Thompson, the program uses larvicide on areas of standing water left behind that become breeding areas for mosquitoes.

A helicopter is used for the river-based program.

The larvicide must also be applied so it coincides with the

correct stage of larval development.

BWP uses a larvicide contained within kernels of corn.

The product, Btk, is a naturally occurring bacteria.

It has no known affect on humans, plants, honeybees, birds or beetles, according to the Ministry of Forests and Natural Resource Development.

Phippen said an ideal peak for the North Thompson is over two to three days, followed by a steady decline.

Using the helicopter, the company broadcasts the material over one to two days in key areas. “And we hope it’s not pouring rain,� Phippen said.

A one-centimetre rise in the North Thompson River corresponds with a one-hectare area of fields flooding with water.

The South Thompson River peaks later and its rise and fall is steady and predictable.

Perverse artist enters guilty plea in court Lowell Swetman, 49-year-old who has Asperger syndrome and a limited education

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A 49-year-old man with Asperger syndrome convicted four years ago of drawing sexually graphic images and posting them at schools pleaded guilty after he was caught near a playground.

Lowell Swetman was given a lifetime ban in 2010 from being near schools, parks or areas where children are likely to congregate after being convicted on two counts of distributing child pornography. On Thursday (May 22) he pleaded guilty to

breaching that court order.

Crown lawyer Iain Currie said in June last year a woman at George Hilliard elementary school saw a shirtless man pacing and muttering to himself near the playground.

She recognized him from earlier newspaper photos and had once waited on him as a server at a restaurant.

“She said he was mumbling to himself and acting strangely,” Currie said.

“There were children playing soccer in an adjacent field.

Teenagers and young

kids were on playground equipment.”

An RCMP member was dispatched.

When she spoke to Swetman, he gave a false name and he was not arrested.

But Currie said the police officer did more research when she returned to the office and determined it was Swetman who was at the school.

He was later arrested at his home, where he lives with his mother.

Swetman was arrested in December 2009 after police linked him to a number of obscene letters had been written and

THE mailed to Kamloops schools. Prior to that, crude drawings depicting a grown man and a young girl engaged in sexual acts had been posted outside A.E. Perry elementary.

He was linked to the letters and drawings after an anonymous tipster called

police and offered them an old letter written by Swetman.

During trial, a handwriting expert testified she spent 15 hours examining the letters and drawings, as well as known samples of Swetman’s writing, and concluded they were written by the same person.

Currie said Swetman was not doing anything wrong at the school grounds last year — other than being there contrary

to the court order.

Reports from probation officials and psychologists found Swetman is “more likely to be a victim than to victimize someone,” Currie said.

Defence lawyer Ken Tessovitch said Swetman has a limited education.

His mental disabilities resulted in a spotty work record.

Provincial court judge Chris Cleaveley agreed with a submission by the Crown for

three months house arrest, followed by a two-year probation order.

During that time he cannot possess pornography and is denied internet access.

Asked to speak before his sentence, Swetman paused for a considerable time and then spoke in a mumble.

“I’ll not have contact with anyone under 21.

“I’ll keep myself to myself.”

Megan and Geoffrey Hanks have many of the same traits as notable athletic siblings, but they also have a distinction all their own — the honour of repeating as Canadian judo champions.

The Kamloops siblings successfully defended their titles at the 2014 Canadian Judo Championships, which wrapped up in Saguenay, Que., on Sunday, May 18.

Megan, 16, again won gold in the under18, 70-plus kilogram division, while 14-year-old Geoffrey repeated in the U16, under-73 kg title.

“It was really cool,” Megan told KTW during a practice at the Aberdeen Judo Academy (AJA) on Tuesday, May 20.

“I mean, Geoff and I travel everywhere together. It’s just really nice to have

him there because we both understand what the other one’s going through.

“To be able to both stand on the podium together, it’s really awesome.”

“It’s nice because then you kind of have somebody who knows what it feels like,” Geoffrey echoed.

“It’s also a bit annoying sometimes — then I don’t get to brag as much,” he added, with a smile.

The Kamloops brown belts competed in two age divisions in Quebec — their own and against an older group.

Megan won a silver medal in U21 and Geoffrey finished

KAMLOOPS

fourth in U18.

Megan’s loss came against the No. 5 fighter in the world, while Geoffrey missed out on the bronze medal by a half point.

There were more AJA athletes — Jim Karas, Morgan Endean and Jarek Masson — in Quebec.

Karas won silver in the 40- to 45-year-old, under-90 kg division, while Endean and Masson both missed the podium. John Huntley was the oldest athlete in attendance.

Both Geoffrey and Megan felt the weight of pressure and expectation heading into competition and knew their opponents would be keen to score a

victory against the defending champions.

It made stepping on to the podium at the end of the weekend that much sweeter for the pair.

“That was pretty amazing,” Geoffrey said. “The first time was really nice, the second time was even better.

“Like I said, it was more nerve-wracking, so I was definitely more nervous for this one. So, as soon as I won, I felt a lot better because I knew I had done it and could do it again and all my training had paid off.

They scored a few accolades to go with their podium finishes, as Geoffrey was

named the most outstanding U16 competitor — there were 117 in attendance — and Megan was invited to the 2014 U.S. Junior Nationals in Honolulu in July.

Successfully repeating at the national level was satisfying for the siblings, but perhaps more promising was the success they had competing against older athletes.

Despite their accomplishments, neither athlete is getting complacent.

Megan said her U21 gold-medal bout showed she will have to continue to train if she wants to get to the next level.

Geoffrey’s matches in U18 illustrated how significant the jump in physical maturity is between U16 and U18.

So, just days after winning their national championships, the siblings were back on the mat at the AJA, continuing to train and continuing to hone their craft.

“It’s fun. It’s just an awesome sport,” Geoffrey said.

“I have a lot of helpful people like my family, even just people in the club, they really help. So, I think I have potential to go a long way.”

New-generation triathletes

By Adam Williams

344 Poplar Street Tuesday, Monday 10am-6pm Wednesday

& Thursday 10am-5pm

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

There was a day when triathletes were one-sport athletes looking for a little variety.

Generally, they would be experts in one of the sport’s three components — cycling, swimming and running — and know enough about the rest to be competitive.

But, as is becoming the norm in the sporting world, training and specialization is becoming the name of the game in triathlon.

Athletes now work with each component, training to become well-rounded triathletes, rather than just swimmers or cyclists with a few athletic hobbies.

Kamloops siblings Sophie and Josh Ogilvie are part of the new generation of triathletes and they’re doing it all from their home in the Tournament Capital.

“Often, people that do triathlon, they come from a one-sport background,” said Kamloops Triathlon Club board member Teresa Seibel.

“So, they are cyclists and then they decide cycling is not for them and they do all three — they dabble in triathlon.

Sophie and Josh train in all three.

“They don’t just train in one and then jump in to triathlon,” Teresa said.

The journey to triathlon started with swimming for the siblings, both members of the Kamloops Classic Swimming club.

They expanded to the world of running and cycling, competing in their first triathlon in 2005, and are members of the Kamloops Grasslands Cycling Club and the Kamloops Track and Field Club.

Though there is no kids’ triathlon club in town, Josh and Sophie are developing their own training regimens as members of the three clubs.

“It’s really fun because we get to do three sports instead of one,” Josh, 14, told KTW. He and his sister had just finished their cycling

Kamloops siblings Josh and Sophie Ogilvie represent a new breed of triathlete. From a young age, they have focused on each of the sport’s elements, swimming, running and biking.

practice for the day, riding to swim practice with the Classics.

“I like really riding my mountain bike around in the park and stuff and I really like biking. It’s just kind of fun,” he said.

“My running is probably my favourite also because I’m really good at it and I usually beat people in that part of the race.”

Sophie, 13, enjoys each of triathlon’s elements.

“I like training in three sports because there’s variety. It’s just more fun than just doing one,” Sophie said.

“You’re probably better all-around if you do three instead of just one.”

The siblings have developed a special bond in the pursuit of their multi-discipline sport.

Whether it’s cheering each other on at finish lines around the Okanagan or pushing one another during training, their sport has brought them closer together.

“It’s really amazing because they’re a year apart, but they’ve been each other’s training partners since Day 1,” said their mother, Heidi Ogilvie.

“They always look out for each other. It doesn’t matter. Even if Sophie has taken Josh out on a sprint, he’s happy for his sister and they have arms wrapped around each other, walking along. It’s pretty awesome to see.

“I am so proud of

it. They really are best friends. It’s amazing.”

That was the scene at the Spring Sprint Triathlon in Kamloops on May 4, with Josh turning to cheer on Sophie as they pushed toward the finish line.

The race included a 200-metre swim, a 10-kilometre bike race and a three-kilometre run.

Josh won in a blistering time of 37:46.5 and his sister wasn’t far behind, finishing second in the female division in 40:55.7.

It was another proud moment for Heidi and her husband, Greg, who again saw their trail-blazing kids sharing a special moment.

“I like racing and I

like winning, obviously,” Sophie said.

“It’s pretty cool because we’re in the same family and we both really like it, so we can just do stuff by ourselves.”

Leaders of the WolfPack The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack have a full slate of coaches for the 2014-2015 season, as the athletics department this week announced its final hirings.

John Antulov will be the head coach of the men’s soccer team, while Jack Miller will lead the WolfPack’s cross-country program.

Tom McManus was earlier announced as the school’s women’s soccer coach and Brad Dalke was named the lead of the school’s new swim program.

Antulov has spent the last seven years as a co-head coach of the men’s soccer program at TRU, with Sean Wallace sharing the other half of the duties.

Antulov will go it alone now, as the program will have just one head coach as it transitions to the world of Canadian Interuniversity Sport.

“I am very excited, honoured and humbled to take this next step with the program,” Antulov said.

“Being from Kamloops, playing my youth soccer here and now to coach the program in CIS is something I have always wanted to do.”

TRU athletics director Ken Olynyk said he likes what Antulov has to offer.

“He has ties to the community. He has a lot of experience. He is connected with a lot of key soccer people across Western Canada and B.C. “I would be remiss

if I didn’t thank Sean Wallace for the great job he did over the last 14 years,” Olynyk continued.

“He was instrumental in our program and contributed extensively.

“I would like to thank Sean for everything he has done for TRU and the University College of the Cariboo.

“This is not a slight in any way, in us deciding to go with just one head coach.”

Miller is a recent retiree from TRU’s education faculty. He has coached the cross-country team since 2006.

“I’m excited about the move up but, at the same time, mindful of the anticipated increase in the calibre of the competition,” he said.

“Eventually, this will turn out to be a

good thing for TRU WolfPack cross-country running because it will be easier to recruit athletes from around the province when they know we compete at the CIS level.”

McManus will continue his tenure as head of the WolfPack women’s soccer program, while Dalke, head coach of the Kamloops Classic Swimming club, will take the reins of TRU’s newest sport.

Rounding out the WolfPack coaches are Ray Chadwick, baseball; Don Schulz, hockey; Scott Reeves, women’s basketball; Scott Clark, men’s basketball; Pat Hennelly, men’s volleyball; Chad Grimm, women’s volleyball; and Shannon Blakely, cheerleading.

Thieves have really hit a new low, even for the criminal world, as a child’s custom special-needs tricycle was stolen from a home in the 900-block of Renfrew Avenue.

The bike was reported missing on Tuesday, May 20, from the backyard of the home. It was under a deck and could not be seen from the street. It is a custommade tricycle with two wheels on the back and one wheel in the front, with baskets in the front and back.

The bike is blue and silver with the word “Mission” on the frame and straps on the pedals. It has a large black seat with a back rest. The child has trouble walking and the tricycle gives her more balance and some freedom to travel around the area.

If you have any information on this theft or know the whereabouts of the tricycle, please contact Crime Stoppers.

We will even pick the bike up with no questions asked. You will remain anonymous at all times.

Let’s help get the bike back!

Others who have gone before Hold up my trembling hand.

They comfort me in the blind despair I cannot understand.

They suffer with me when I hurt, Weep with me in my pain, Remind me that we are not lost ...

Though I must now remain.

Those who’ve gone before me, Hear me when I cry.

Sing softly with me soothing chords Of unsung lullabies.

Mourn anniversaries never marked, A future I cannot keep.

They gently kiss the pain away, And love my heart to sleep.

The ones who’ve gone before me Hold me in my dreams.

They gently stroke my furrowed brow, And calm my silent screams.

They love me in my heartache, Wait quietly nearby., Hold patiently, one to another Till I join them by and by.

Comeback Kings set for Game 3 Finland ousts Canada

By Jay Cohen

ASSOCIATED PRESS

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Los Angeles Kings were 20 minutes away from a 2-0 hole in the Western Conference final when they showed their post-season resilience.

Down 2-1 to the Blackhawks heading into the third period in Chicago on Wednesday, May 21, the Kings scored five goals in the third period to win and tie the series at 1-1.

Game 3 will be played at the

Staples Center in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 24. The puck drops at 5 p.m.

One big stop by Jonathan Quick turned into a scoring spree for Jeff Carter and Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Carter scored three of the Kings’ six straight goals.

It was the first time Los Angeles had five goals in a single post-season period since May 7, 1993, against Vancouver.

Wayne Gretzky had two of those goals and watched

Wednesday’s game from a suite at the United Center.

The early deficit was just a small speed bump for Los Angeles, dubbed the Comeback Kings for their play in the opening two rounds.

Los Angeles trailed 3-0 in its first playoff series against San Jose and won four straight games to eliminate the Sharks.

The Kings overcame a 3-2 series deficit in the second round against top-seeded Anaheim.

Redskins’ name under fire in U.S.

By Alan Fram

ASSOCIATED PRESS

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

WASHINGTON — Half the U.S. Senate urged NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Thursday, May 22, to change the Washington Redskins’ name, saying it is a racist slur and the time is ripe to replace it.

In one letter, 49 senators cited the NBA’s quick action recently to ban Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life after he was heard on an audio recording making offensive comments about blacks.

They said Goodell should formally push to rename the Redskins.

“We urge you and the National Football League to send the same clear message as the NBA did: That racism and bigotry have no place in professional sports,’’ read the letter,

which did not use the word “Redskins.’’

The letter comes at a time of growing pressure to change the team name, with statements in recent months from President Barack Obama, lawmakers of both parties and civilrights groups.

Sen. Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat, wrote his own letter, saying he doesn’t believe that retaining the Redskin name “is appropriate in this day and age.’’ He described himself as “one of your great fans for both the game and you personally.’’

Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has refused to change the name, citing tradition.

The franchise has

been known as the Redskins since 1933, when it played in Boston.

In a written response, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said “diversity and inclusion’’ has long been a focus of the NFL. “The intent of the team’s name has always been to present a strong, positive and respectful image,’’ McCarthy said.

“The name is not used by the team or the NFL in any other context, though we respect those that view it differently.’’

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., led the letter-writing effort.

All senators on the letter are Democrats.

Cantwell spokesman Jared Leopold said Republicans were not asked to participate.

Democrats not signing the letter were Tim

Kaine and Mark Warner of nearby Virginia, where the team’s headquarters are; Mark Pryor of Arkansas, in a tight re-election race this year; and Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Joe Donnelly of Indiana, two of their party’s more moderate lawmakers.

The senators noted tribal organizations representing more than two-million Native Americans across the U.S. have said they want the Redskins name dropped.

Despite federal laws protecting their identity, “Every Sunday during football season, the Washington, D.C., football team mocks their culture,’’ they wrote.

“The NFL can no longer ignore this and perpetuate the use of this name as anything but what it is: A racial slur,’’ the letter said.

THE CANADIAN PRESS sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

MINSK, BELARUS — When Team Canada pushed, Pekka Rinne shoved back. The result was Finland moving on and Canada going home.

Rinne made 36 saves as Canada dropped a 3-2 decision on Thursday, May 22, at the World Hockey Championship at Chizhovka Arena.

It was the fifth straight year that Canada has been eliminated in the quarterfinals.

“We had a couple breakdowns,’’ Canadian captain Kevin Bieksa said.

“We knew going into this game that the Finns were a team that would sit back and capitalize on our mistakes and they made us pay tonight.’’

Finland’s Iiro Pakarinen scored the game-winner with 3:08 left in regulation after a Team Canada turnover.

“You always want to play better when you lose,’’ Canadian goaltender Ben Scrivens said. “They got better goaltending than us tonight and that was the difference.’’

Kyle Turris and Mark Scheifle scored Canada’s goals, with each one coming in the second period. Scrivens finished with 23 saves.

Olli Palola and Juuso Hietanen also scored for Finland.

Canada’s problem of slow starts continued and its penchant for taking penalties cropped up early and led to Finland’s first goal.

After an effective but unsuccessful power play that included Brayden Schenn ringing a shot off the crossbar, defenceman Tyler Myers took a roughing penalty at 4:31.

With 17 seconds left on that penalty, Hietanen’s attempted point shot deflected off penalty-killer Joel Ward’s stick and right to Palola, whose blast from the middle of the left faceoff circle beat Scrivens to make it 1-0 Finland at 6:14.

Canada wasted its first three power plays in the first period, along with the fourth that bled over into the second frame. But Turris managed to tie things at even strength.

Forcing a turnover at the defensive blue-line,

Turris banked the puck off the right wall on a give-and-go with Matt Read, then took the pass back and fired a onetimer in at 5:51 of the second.

Scheifele, one of Canada’s most improved players over the course of the tournament, made it 2-1 at 12:08.

With the teams at four a side, Scheifele beat Rinne clean on a two-on-one rush.

Finland tied it 2-2 on a strange goal 28 seconds into the third period.

Hietanen’s slapshot hit Scrivens’ blocker, then bounced off the shaft of his stick and trickled in before he could dive back and stop it.

A turnover by Myers led to Pakarinen’s gamewinner.

“It was our game to lose,’’ Myers said. “It’s never a good feeling to have it happen like that.’’

Oh, how Grace loved to dance

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

G

RACE HERRINGER WOULD LIKELY LOVE the party her children are going to this weekend.

Maybe she would put some punk stripes in her snow-white hair. Last Halloween, she opted for orange streaks atop her head.

There’s no doubt she’d be having a shot or two of rye — Grace had an ounce of rye every evening, upping it to two ounces later in life.

And she would dance — yes, she would dance, said her daughter, GG Matuga.

Grace loved to dance.

Instead, there will be memories like these and so many more as family and friends celebrate the 93 years Grace lived.

The obituary her family ran in KTW tells a bit of the story of a woman born in Saskatchewan who rode a horse to school as a child and spent many years cooking for threshing crews and at rodeos and logging camps, including several years at a fishing resort at the north end of Bonaparte Provincial Park on Hoopatakwa Lake.

Kamloops realtor Frank Rossi remembers trips to the resort. A bush pilot back then, Rossi’s job was to fly workers to the lake in a 185 Beaver — and, on more than one occasion, it was a hairy ride.

“She was a super passenger,” Rossi said of his friend.

“She just hung on and let me fly.

We’d be filled to the gunnels and the weather was bad and Grace just held on because she knew I’d get her in, no matter what the weather.”

Matuga said her mother was a beloved cook, going back to her younger years when she worked ranches in Saskatchewan alongside her husband — a partnership that had its ups and downs.

“Dad was a rodeo cowboy and he’d up and leave in the middle of a job, just announce, ‘I’m going to the rodeo’ and he’d lose the job and they’d move on.”

Eventually, the family moved to B.C., settling in the Agate Bay area where, Matuga recalls, Grace’s sister Blanche would look after them while Grace and her husband were off working in camps.

Food was always important in their lives — particularly for Grace, who had her peccadilloes when it came to meals.

At a recent dinner at son George Doonan’s house, one that featured carne asada for dinner, Matuga says, “mom used her fork to unroll it and eat the meat, and the onions were right in front of mom, and she just kept spooning them into the wrap. Every meal was meat — preferably steak in later years — potatoes, vegetable, salad and a jar of onions. I always kept one of those olive jars you get from Costco, the Tasso ones, full of chopped onions for her.

“Mom’s eaten more red meat and butter than anyone I know.”

A shot of rye will be raised X From A22

In memory of Grace, close family friend Wendy Escamilla baked 96 buns — one for each year of Grace’s life — and took them to the city’s Salvation Army Church to share with others.

Grace was no wallflower.

She loved to read, play Scrabble and wouldn’t say no to a game of poker, often telling friends she played for 36 hours straight.

She loved baseball and was a talented softball player as a young woman, good enough to be scouted for the Saskatchewan provincial women’s team and offered a chance to play at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Her parents said no to both opportunities, along with one that would have taken Grace to a job in India.

Eventually, it was time to settle in one place and Grace chose Kamloops, where she was a regular at Tim Hortons and volunteered at Royal Inland Hospital and at Kamloops Blazers games.

She lived to watch baseball — she was a Toronto Blue Jays fan — turning down the sound on her television so she could just enjoy the game itself. And yes, Matuga acknowledges, Grace wasn’t too happy with her beloved Jays in recent years.

Osteoarthritis started to take its toll, with some of Grace’s vertebrae crumbling at one point, bones in her feet breaking when she fell and her legs eventually giving out, leaving her motoring through the downtown area with a walker.

It didn’t slow her down.

“My mom was feisty,” Matuga says.

The night she had back surgery, Matuga settled into a chair to spend the night with her mom, making sure the hospital-bed rails were up and locked.

“And the little demon managed to wriggle through the rails and, there she was, pushing her walker, heading to the bathroom,” Matuga recalls.

Grace didn’t want to move into

an assisted-living facility, Matuga says, preferring her Battle Street apartment that was central to all her regular stops. She would push her walker up to Ponderosa Lodge to take part in its day program, head over to RIH to visit friends or check out the displays in windows along Victoria Street.

She used the HandyDart as well, usually with Candy Goss driving, and the two became fast friends, dancing their way off the bus when they reached Grace’s destination.

In the end, Grace made it clear how she wanted her death dealt with.

“She wanted music and food,” Matuga says. “She didn’t want a service at a funeral home. She wanted to have a party where people can stand up and talk about her — and she wanted it where people could have a drink.”

It’s likely there will be some shots of rye hoisted on Saturday, May 24, when the party for Grace begins at Hotel 540 at 1 p.m.

BC SPCA Kamloops Branch takes on the Prince George Branch in 2014 City Challenge this month.

Throughout the month of May, the two SPCA branches will be holding community events to raise as much money as possible to fund programs for abused, neglected, homeless and injured animals. The winner of the City Challenge gets bragging rights, and of course, the satisfaction of knowing they have made a life-saving difference for animals in need.

Let the debates begin

By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

A

LIVE-TAPING OF CBC’S The Debaters is a unique opportunity among the Canadian-comedy scene.

For one, it’s a mini-comedy festival in one night, with twelve comedians participating in six stand-up-style debates.

And two, local comedians have the opportunity to participate and appear on CBC Radio One, where the show eventually airs.

“We like to be as local as we can,” said the shows host, Steve Patterson, in saying Kelowna comedian Tim Nutt will be on the roster in Kamloops on Monday, May 26.

The show has been on CBC for eight years and Patterson has hosted it for seven.

While he says the show is a “comedy show first and foremost,” it is known for satire of relevant political topics.

He said it’s a “certain kind of comedian” who can joke about the serious topics.

Patterson doesn’t know how each debate will play out before the show, but the audience at Sagebrush Theatre will hear topics including: Motorcycles, bed and breakfasts, fishing, door-to-door mail service, don’t worry be happy and — dating

and courtship.

“God knows what that’s really going to be about,” he said.

Patterson said fans of the show should attend the live-taping because of the elements that don’t make it past the final cut.

“We only have time for three questions on air,” he said. “There’s just a lot of freewheeling stuff that goes around.”

“It’s really a whole different experience.”

He remembers a taping of the debate Pie Vs. Cake. He said the two debaters put a lot of effort into the whimsical topic.

“It just ended up being one of the most entertaining debates we ever had,” he said.

In the end, however, the winner isn’t up to him — it’s up to the audience.

They determine who wins each debate by cheering for the comedian of their choice.

“If we didn’t have an audience we wouldn’t have a show,” he said.

The Debaters is an all-ages show.

Tickets are $38 and are available at Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St,, 250-374-5486 or online at kamloopslive.ca.

For more information, go online to cbc.ca/thedebaters.

FOR LOVE OF THE UKULELE

By Jessica Wallace

Tiptoe Through the Tulips by Tiny Tim. The high pitch of Tim’s voice may not make the instrument seem hip, but Taylor says the instrument has been “making a comeback� in the last five years.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole may be partly responsible for that, Taylor says.

And, though he admits it may not rival a guitar among youngsters, he says you can purchase v-shaped versions of the instrument — “like heavy metal guitars.�

Taylor himself prefers the classically designed versions.

He owns a $35 laminate ukulele and another classically designed ukulele made from bird’s-eye maple valued at $1,500 US. He doesn’t mind lending the pricier of the two.

Taylor will be be welcoming newcomers to the group at an open ukulele circle on Monday, May 26.

It’s $3 at Plura Hills United Church, 2090 Pacific Way, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

All are welcome — even new players. Just bring a ukulele.

STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek

ICK TAYLOR STRUMS along, singing “he’s got the whole world in his hands.�

The retired teacher once taught ukulele to Grade 5 students, but he now plays the small, four-stringed instrument among friends.

The portability and social factors are what he appreciates most. “Everybody asks you about your ukulele,� he says.

Through the years, Taylor has played the instrument around the campfire, in a camper van and at friends’ homes.

He’s not sure what his favourite place is to play in the city, but the Kamloops Ukulele Orchestra, of which he is part, will perform at St. Andrews on the Square this summer.

About 15 of them play all sorts of tunes together — some you’d recognize and others you wouldn’t.

Taylor laughed, recalling one of the most popular — or perhaps infamous — ukulele songs of all time:

Donny Osmond, church and the airport

Singer-songwriter Ken Stead is live at The Art We Are Saturday, May 24

By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

K

EN STEAD usually performs at the local Baptist church and the Edmonton airport. “It’s the coolest thing that I’ve ever done,� the Edmonton singer-songwriter said. “You’re there just to entertain people while they’re waiting to fly.�

But, during a Western Canadian tour, he is pursuing his own music career.

Stead released an EP entitled Unfinished last November.

Now, he’s headed out by himself on his first personal music tour, making 14 stops including one on Saturday, May 24, in Kamloops.

While touring is new for him, he got his start early — Grade 4 choir — and even sung with Donny Osmond when he came to

Ken Stead will be performing songs from his EP Unfinished, this weekend in downtown Kamloops.

Finding romance and foodie-fun in Victoria

By Jane Cassie

SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

S

UCCULENT beef doused with a demi glaze, curryinfused chicken coupled with jasmine rice and mushroom ravioli topped with tomato-parmesan — my husband and I salivate over the amazing spread.

“Gotta love this ferry food,” Brent says as he loads up at the salad bar.

Whether you’re firsttime B.C. ferry cruisers or veterans — like us — you can’t go wrong with the Pacific Buffet.

The cost of the allinclusive meal comes with bottomless coffee and is topped off with a roving view.

Our purpose for this particular Victoria visit is to have foodie fun and re-kindle the romance.

And, the Magnolia Hotel and Spa certainly caters to this need.

The contemporary gem snuggles into the city’s old-world charm and is just steps from the bustling inner harbour.

We’re ushered into an intimate lobby with exquisite décor.

Adjacent is the trendy Catalano Restaurant and Cicchetti Bar where homegrown ingredients are crafted into Mediterranean fare.

In addition to offering intriguing lunch and dinner menus, this is where the complimentary breakfast is served each morning.

Whether we choose the buffet — that

includes everything from fresh fruit to Belgium waffles — or ala carte made-to-order options, it’s a yummy way to start the day.

Delicious perks extend to the 64 recently-rejuvenated rooms.

We bump up the romance by opting for a spacious fireplace suite that flaunts a view.

A fruit plate is waiting on arrival and freshly-brewed coffee and The Globe and Mail is assured each morning.

Dutch Bakery sweets are presented at turndown.

250-374-0831

We also discovered serenity at The Spa Magnolia, where Intelligent Nutrient products are as organic as they come.

If only we had more time.

But, with Victoria boasting the highest number of restaurants per capita in Canada, there’s plenty to sample.

On a three-hour culinary tour, host Karma Brophy shows us the best way.

This gastronome has been enriching the minds and palates of foodies for over

20 years and since 2010, she’s been the proud owner of Feast Concierge.

Leading the way on foot, she integrates her knowledge of regional edibles with personal anecdotes.

We’re lured by the tantalizing trail and her stories.

The majority of our taste trek takes place in the Victoria Public Market, a 1,762 squaremeter food-lovers’ haunt that would satisfy the hungriest appetite.

Farmers, fishers, butchers and bakers

all work symbiotically under one roof, showcasing their local bounty.

Our first stop is The French Oven Bakery, where owner, Sandra Castro, churns fresh, regional ingredients into favourites from France: Buttery croissants, decadent Pain Au Chocolat and savoury brioche.

It’s not surprising to hear that her husband — and solo baker — Nick, was born, raised and trained in Lyon, France.

Next door, the epicurean secrets come

all the way from the Marche region of Italy.

Olive the Senses is family-owned and operated by Steve and Emily Lycopolus and offers a choice of 60-plus virgin olive oils and aged balsamic vinegars to sample.

“It’s like trying a fine wine,” Brophy says, while swigging back a spicy Chilean blend.

We follow her lead, swishing and sniffing a few of the heady elixirs.

The Italian-inspired rotisserie, Roast, is next on our edible sojourn.

Proprietor and accomplished chef, George Szasz, who works closely with local producers, dishes us marvelous meatballs and porchetta.

“We even season some of our selections with sea salts from Vancouver Island Spice Factory,” he explains.

The business he’s referring to is two doors down.

Spanish paprika, banana pepper, Mandarin orange and lime — these unrefined sea salts are harvested from Vancouver Island waters and stack up next to an array of spices and edible seeds.

Up to Fort Street we rove — nipping, sipping, savoring Spanishstyle cured meats at Chorizo and Co., smoked wild salmon at the Hook and, finally, a generous selection of handcrafted unique sweets at Chocolat, a family-run business of more than 25 years.

“How ‘bout a little more sampling,” Brophy suggests after we polish off these sinful pleasures.

“I offer an even more indulgent tour of Oak Bay.” We’re familiar with the quaint seaside village with an eclectic array of eateries, but we still need to make room for one more spread.

And, that’s at the Pacific Buffet as we cruise back home.

CAREERS

Employing those winning ways at work

By Stephanie Clark SPECIAL TO KTW bcjobs.ca

You know you are smart.

You come up with ideas at meetings, you have created efficiencies in your own work and you find ways to get along with co-workers — even the miserable ones — so how come someone else gets the praise, the raise and even the promotion?

It could be you aren’t being smart about your career management. To manage your career, you must think strategically.

Thinking strategically

The word “strategy” is defined as “the art of planning and directing overall military operations and movements in a war or battle.”

I used the battlerelated definition, as strategy is tactical; it’s

Happy Birthday Mary!

all about a plan of action that will achieve a goal.

Let’s say you’d like to step into a team-lead, supervisor or management position?

Can you get there just by doing a good job?

Not so likely.

I did that once and saw a more junior person, who had applied strategy, land a plum newly created customer service position I would have loved You must evaluate, determine action and capitalize on opportunities.

For example, conduct research on the current departmental issues, volunteer for a team project, speak up at meetings and network with your company’s movers and doers.

Let influential players know you are looking to move up and ask them for suggestions on how to increase your productivity, your input and your value.

Don’t wait to be

asked for ideas; rather, proactively and strategically, share these.

Develop a business case or research a report, but share simultaneously with a few people, not just one. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t trust your boss, but I am saying to be smart about career management.

Here are a few ideas for coming up with winning ways at work: • Read and research: Be prepared to speak up at the next meeting with confidence and influence.

Get smart on relevant and timely topics to stand out as someone to pay attention to.

• Step out of your office: Find people to talk to about your aspirations.

Heck, go bend the CAO’s ear as this can lead to suggestions for a mentor, for additional training or even a meet-

ing with your manager to create a plan to get you onto the corporate succession planning strategy • Take a course: Take a course that will stimulate that “outof-the-box” thinking we hear about.

Courses like critical thinking, problem solving, art or poetry — any kind of brain activity.

Creativity at work is critical to future business.

Stagnant businesses fail and only those that recreate themselves grow stronger over time.

Not into courses?

Learn to play chess or pick up a Mensa brainteaser book. The point is to use your brain in a new way, to program new patterns of thinking.

• Pretend perfect is achievable: Rather than think in terms of incremental improvements, paint a

&

picture of perfection.

Now, what steps would you have to take in order to get there?

This exercise will identify many ideas for improving, and that skill is fundamental to career management.

Most jobs have problems to solve and those problems revolve around improving one thing or another.

• Evaluate what did — and did not — work: Perhaps each month (our memories fade), ask yourself what worked well and what could have worked better. Over time, you may identify a skill that is missing, giving you an idea for selfstudy or a new course to take.

As a resume writer, I improve resumes.

How would I develop a perfect resume?

What questions would I have to ask of clients to get the rich and layered information that

I like to work with?

What if, as a salesperson, you could envision a perfect day?

What would make it so and how could you achieve that?

Or, as a teacher, what does your perfect day look like, sound like, feel like? What steps would get you to that day?

This exercise is not easy as we are taught that perfection is not

possible.

And I’m not suggesting your goal should be perfection. But, I am suggesting that beginning with a vision of perfection will provide you with many, many ideas for improvements.

Lots of people are smart at work.

But, to step up the career ladder, you must add strategy to your workplace toolkit.
