THE MUSIC, MA’AM

The city and region need to gear up for a decline in population growth, as well as a future in which the area has one adult over 65 for every two adults in the workforce.

A report from B.C. Business Council released this week found the province’s population increase is slowing from robust growth of the 1980s and 1990s. The report details a slowing in population growth that reached 2.6 per cent a year in the early 1990s to less than one per cent today.

By 2027, the natural growth in population is forecast to fall to zero, with growth coming only from immigration from other provinces and countries.

A long trend of declining rural population is expected to continue, with growth focused in the four metro areas of Greater Vancouver, Greater Victoria, Central Okanagan and Fraser Valley.

Author Ken Peacock said Kamloops shares some urban aspects with those core areas and can expect to attract northerners looking for

warmer climes, as well as Greater Vancouver residents seeking lower housing prices and an end to gridlock commutes.

The scenario in Kamloops for an aging population falls between the extremes seen in some parts of the province.

The report finds by 2030, there will be 53 people aged 65-plus for every 100 in the working-age population of 25-64 in the ThompsonNicola region. That compares to a low of 30 in Peace River to a high of 81 in the Sunshine Coast — approaching nearly a 1:1 ratio.

“Kamloops is not too far off the provincial average,” he said. “I think the same challenges the province faces also apply to the region.

By 2030, it’s [Thompson-Nicola] a little older than the provincial average.”

Peacock also noted what is expected to a be a continuing decline in Kamloops in the number of people aged one to 24, bottoming out in five years. That will have continuing negative enrolment impact on schools and at Thompson Rivers University.

“Your region is a little better off, if aging demographics creates challenges, than a lot of other places,” Peacock said.

The current growth in the number of working-age adults is .3 per cent a year — half the provincial average.

With one person 65-plus living in Kamloops for every two in the working population, Peacock said urban planners and builders will have to look at a future with more compact housing close to shopping and amenities because seniors will demand it.

Venture Kamloops executive director Jim Anderson said the low population growth scenario outlined in the report “is something we’ve been preparing for.”

The city’s economic-development arm is in the midst of a labour market plan looking out to 2025.

“We’re trying to determine what this aging demographic will do to the labour force,” Anderson said.

The large population of retirees in the region will also present challenges for the Interior Health Authority. The average age in every part of the IHA’s territory is higher than the provincial average. Peacock said studies have shown the highest cost of health care is in the last two years of life.

2. Grasscycle Leave grass clippings on the lawn when mowing. Eliminate bagging and raking and reduce watering and fertilizing.

June 2 1:30 pm - Regular Council Meeting 7 pm - Public Hearing

3. Water Properly Water deeply, but infrequently. This means watering 1 - 2 days per week, but when you do, give your grass about 2.5 cm (1") of water.

June 3 7 am - Parks and Recreation Committee Public Works Centre, Kenna Cartwright Room June 4 11 am - Food & Urban Agriculture Plan Advisory Committee Corporate Boardroom, City Hall June 10 5:30 pm - Heritage Commission Kamloops Museum, 207 Seymour Street Regular City Council meetings are broadcast on Shaw Cable as follows: Thurs and Sat at 11 am and Sun at 7 pm.

Consider Clover: Reasons Why Traditional Lawns are Becoming Less Desirable • In Kamloops, rainfall is not enough to keep grass green and the cost of watering grass can be an issue.

• Many people do not have the time or energy to maintain a lawn that needs to be cut and watered frequently.

• There are environmental concerns surrounding pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and lawn mower emissions.

Advantages of White Clover • Can be mowed, or left to grow.

• Grows well in poor soil.

• Stays green all summer with less water than grass.

• Never needs nitrogen application as it creates its own.

• Is inexpensive.

• Attracts beneficial insects.

• Out competes most weeds.

• Immune to "dog spots".

For more information check out the brochure 'Clover - Friend or Foe?' or visit www.kamloops.ca/ipm. For other tips on conserving water in the landscape, attend our Creating a Kamloops Xeriscape workshop (#238392) on May 13, 2015. To register call 250-828-3500.

Water Restrictions Residents are reminded that water restrictions are in effect from May 1st to August 31st.

Restrictions: Even numbered property addresses are allowed to sprinkle or irrigate only on even numbered days.

Odd numbered property addresses are allowed to sprinkle or irrigate only on odd numbered days.

Where a complex uses internal addresses or other identifying numbers, the internal numbers will be used to establish the appropriate watering day.

Sprinkling and irrigating are not allowed between the hours of 11:00 am and 6:00 pm.

Sprinkling and irrigating between the hours of midnight and 6:00 am are restricted to automatic irrigation systems or sprinklers controlled by a timer and must comply with Even & Odd Days for watering.

Penalties: • $100 - first offence • $200 - each subsequent offence • No warnings are issued for offences

Online petition follows plans to close Westsyde Pool ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

To Amanda Cosburn, swimming a few laps in the local pool is the only way to cap a workout.

“To work out and not jump in the pool after doesn’t feel complete,” the Westsyde resident said.

But, Westsyde Pool is about to close for more than a year for repairs and Cosburn isn’t happy — nor are the nearly 700 people who have signed her online petition calling for better recreation facilities for the North Shore.

Her Change.org petition (online at change.org/p/cityof-kamloops-mayorpeter-milobar-build-awestsyde-recreationcenter) calls on the city to improve the pool centre with an expanded gym, more multi-purpose community space and an indoor pool.

Cosburn said a new recreation centre could cater to people in other North Shore neighbourhoods as well, which have been growing steadily.

“There’s new construction going in all

The Petition Capital Cosburn’s isn’t the only petition going strong in the City of Kamloops.

A petition calling on the city to relax its food truck rules is also gaining ground on Change. org, with just over 200 signatures.

It can be found at http://chn.ge/1FSmBVo. Created by former city council candidate Dustin McIntyre, the petition says food truck vendors need options in other areas of Kamloops besides the downtown.

the time and we see all this expansion. I feel like the rec centre has not kept up to that — and the fact that it was able to get this bad is just kind of disgraceful,” she said.

Cosburn said the city seems to be ignoring the Westsyde facility’s maintenance and programming needs, noting she’d rather see money go to those rather than the city’s proposed performingarts centre.

“The hours of the pool have declined, the staff at the pool have declined, the workshops and the classes that used to be held in the gym have declined and moved,” she said.

“There used to be yoga, there used to be Zumba across the street.”

The pool already

closed for a few weeks this spring after some of the ceiling panels in the deep end fell off due to excess moisture.

Further investigation revealed $1.3 million to $2.1 million in repairs are needed for the pool, which dates to the 1970s.

City council agreed to close the pool until the fall of 2016, which parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said is the time required to consult with the public about the project, come up with a new design for the facility and repair the roof of the building — an eight- to ninemonth project in itself.

While Cosburn’s petition mentions other options considered for the pool, including closing it altogether and turning

it into an outdoor facility, Putnam said neither of those options is still on the table and city council has directed staff to come up with a plan to keep the pool indoors.

“There wasn’t a big appetite from council for the outdoor option,” he said.

Putnam said the city is planning its own community outreach on the pool over the summer.

“That building was built in the 1970s with no windows at all in there, so maybe we could put light tubes in, include solar panels, possibly add different slides and that kind of thing,” he said. “All of those things are something we want to get people’s input on.”

If the neighbourhood is pushing for a broader expansion, Putnam said the city can look at that as well, though it will be up to council to sign off on any other costs.

As of yesterday, less than two weeks since it went online, the petition had 702 of the 1,000 signatures Cosburn hopes to collect.

To get the last 300 names, Cosburn said

Knutsford ranch sues neighbour over gate CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Knutsford ranch is suing a neighbour for what it claims is an unlawful gate across a public road.

Deleeuw Ranch Ltd. filed the lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court against Edson Joyce.

The ranch has been hiving off separate titles for more than a decade. It sold the lands owned

by Joyce in 2003.

The lawsuit claims Joyce constructed a gate across Scott Road, near Davidson Road. It seeks an injunction to remove the gate and prevent further obstruction as well as a declaration under the B.C. Transportation Act the road is a public highway.

“The defendant has used the gate, or threatened to use the gate, to impede traffic from trav-

elling on Scott Road beyond the gate to the northeast,” reads the statement of claim.

Joyce has not filed a statement of defence. The allegations have not been heard or proven in court.

The statement of claim said Scott Road is the only access to the neighbouring Deleeuw parcel. It also claims public money has been used to maintain that portion of Scott Road.

she may try an oldfashioned tactic — hitting up the pool and the Westsyde Shopping Centre with a clipboard and a hard copy

of the petition.

Once she reaches her goal, she will forward the petition on to city council. Cosburn said she hasn’t yet com-

“I find they don’t really take you seriously until you have the numbers,” she said.

When fuel prices shot up by 10 to 15 per cent at many Kamloops gas stations on Monday, it came as a shock to drivers — especially given the fact the price of a barrel of oil had been below $60 since December.

According to Brian Ahearn, vice-president of the Canadian Fuel Association, brief spikes like the one Kamloops saw this week are due to changes in the specific local marketplace.

Ahearn said there are four factors that determine the price at the pump — the cost of a barrel of oil, taxes, wholesale margins and retail markups.

“There are different market forces that will influence each of them and they are not connected in terms of which way they are going,” he said.

“I think these four

Prices at the pump were at $1.06 for more than a week. On Monday, they spiked in Kamloops, with Chevron stations posting the highest prices. Per litre prices jumped 16 per cent, to $1.23, before slowly dropping.

factors have to be considered when Joe Public is taking a look at the pricing. The final price is what people see and watch and they don’t necessarily appreciate what makes up the pricing.”

Taxes and manufacturing costs didn’t change on Monday, but something in the local marketplace likely did,

according to Chevron’s Vancouver-based spokesman.

“There’s no specific reason,” Adrien Byrne told KTW. “The main thing is just local market conditions — just supply and demand.”

Byrne made a coffeeshop analogy: The owner of a coffee shop pays a fluctuating market price for his coffee beans, but his overhead remains the same.

So, the cost of running his shop — making payroll, keeping the lights on and paying rent — is worked into the cost of a cup of coffee to withstand the fluctuating bean prices.

“It’s a product of supply and demand, so coffee prices don’t really change,” he said.

“There’s a certain demand for a product, a certain amount of product in the tank and a certain number of customers.”

ATV crash claims a life

ATV STOLEN FROM CARPORT It is that time of year that thieves are looking for ATVs to steal, this latest theft occurred sometime overnight on Monday May 4th on the 2500 block of Clarke Street.

The suspects pushed the ATV out of the carport and down the street and into a truck or possibly a cube van. This is a reminder to remove the ATVs, dirt bikes and place them in a

The former schoolhouse stands alone on its long corner lot on Crestline Street, save for a rickety swing set and a single tire-turnedplanter long gone to seed. Though murals of various Walt Disney dogs add a splash of colour on a few sides, it’s obvious the building has seen better days.

Tracey Lodge remembers them — but, with the building likely to come down, she is worried she will soon be one of the few who does. “It’s just one of those things nobody knows about,� she said. “Those little forgotten buildings.�

First built in the 1930s

by German-speaking families working for the BC Fruitlands Company, the two-room schoolhouse is one of the few remaining reminders of the days when one of the city’s fastest-growing neighbourhoods was made up of mainly orchards and farms.

The school was still in use as Crestline elementary in 1971, when Lodge attended Grade 1.

But, by the time School District 73 sold it off in a surplus property sale last fall, its school days were far behind.

More recently, the

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

property was used for dog training, hence the Disney characters.

Developer Sharan Jeet Bubbar, who purchased the nearly one-acre lot, told KTW he plans to split the property into nine lots for single-family homes. “My goal is to do affordable housing up there,� he said.

The property would need to be rezoned from school use to multifamily, which will require a public hearing with Kamloops city council at some point in the future.

Because the Brock schoolhouse isn’t a designated heritage building, its age won’t factor into that debate when it comes.

Heritage commission chairman Andrew Yarmie said there are no city bylaws prohibiting the renovation or demolition of an old property

in private hands, noting it’s up to owners to decide to pursue a heritage designation, which would preserve the building.

Yarmie said the best option for preservationists is usually to try to get the owner to move a building.

Bubbar said if someone wants to take the schoolhouse, they’re welcome to it. “If we can save the building and move it somewhere where it can be used as a heritage building for Kamloops, I’m definitely for it,� he said.

But, getting a heritage building moved is often easier said than done. “On Nicola Street, there was a 100-year old house and we tried to get the owners to save it and to move it somewhere else, and they were willing to go along with

City of Kamloops

that,� Yarmie recalled. “They put it up for sale for a dollar and they left it for months, but no one would buy it for a dollar because it costs so much to move and then find a property. We thought we had three people interested, but it came pretty close to the wire and they backed out. So, that’s the best you can do.�

While Lodge hopes a little recognition of the past may inspire the community to come together to save the school, she agrees it’s a long shot.

Yarmie said the Heritage Commission has its own plan to keep the school’s memory alive.

This summer, the commission will unveil two historical tours of the North Shore — one for the Tranquille Market and one for Brocklehurst — and the old schoolhouse will be one of the stops. “Even if they demolish the building, people will have a picture of what it looked like,�

Yarmie said.

He’s hoping the tours will kick off a broader conversation about heritage preservation north of the river. “By putting up a picture of what used to be there, people say, ‘Oh, this must have been an interesting place at one time,’� he said.

Lodge said she would be happy to see any recognition of the North Shore’s past. “There’s no recognition of our history out here,� she said. “Nobody knows it.�

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

HOT: The Alberta NDP and left-of-centre voters across Canada.

The victory this week in the historically conservative province was indeed a stunner and New Democrats are hoping the result foretells good news federally in October and in B.C. two years from this month.

It is hard to say whether the sentiment shown in Alberta will translate nationally but, as a Canadian Press story in yesterday’s edition of KTW pointed out, the election results have already jarred the ruling Conservatives in Ottawa to reassess election-campaign strategy.

NOT: At least 46 pharmacies in the Lower Mainland that are set to be excluded from the PharmaCare program in the wake of a review that flagged various abuses.

Such a move would effectively shut down the pharmacies.

There have been past allegations of kickbacks paid by methadone-dispensing pharmacies to retain addicted patients, among other concerns about their practices.

A regulatory change that took effect in December now allows the ministry to refuse to do business with pharmacies with a history of problematic business and billing practices, and forces them to disclose their ownership, management and track record.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: Kamloops minor-hockey products Ryan Chyzowski and Ty Kolle for being drafted in yesterday’s WHL Bantam Draft.

The boys are going to Medicine Hat and Portland, respectively.

Congratulations!

Teachers must query union

A

fter the first few glum lines of his speech, it was difficult to tell anything had changed for B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker as he took his familiar place before the TV cameras last week.

Iker droned on about how B.C. schools are under-funded by hundreds of millions of dollars, echoing demands from the disastrous strike he led the union membership into last year.

The B.C. Court of Appeal had just overturned a bizarre trial court decision that tried to give the union everything it wanted: a trip back in time to the NDP wonderland of 2001, a constitutional spanking for the B.C. Liberal government and a $2 million bonus of taxpayers’ money.

The BCTF must now pay back that $2 million and scrape up whatever is left of its members’ compulsory dues to plead for an appeal at the Supreme Court of Canada, continuing the executive’s self-righteous fantasy of controlling education spending in B.C. The appeal court didn’t just overturn the judgment of B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin. It shredded her legal reasoning and bluntly corrected her, over and over, on evidence she ignored or misinterpreted.

The appeal court confirmed at great length what I said when Griffin’s second decision came down in early 2014: It was far worse for B.C. schools than when judges decided in 2005 that teachers can bring union propa-

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA ganda into classrooms.

Did the government bargain in bad faith? No. Did they conspire to provoke a strike? No. Did they illegally strip working conditions from the teacher contract? No. Turns out our kids are not just “working conditions” for teachers, and public policy still matters.

And, it turns out that making special-needs assistants dash between classes to deal with two kids here and three over there was a lousy idea. Now there’s even a credit course offered in high school for students with learning difficulties, which probably has some BCTF minion crafting a pile of grievances about segregation.

In the negotiated settlement reached last fall, teachers shared $105 million to make thousands of baseless grievances go away, after the union filed one for student numbers in every class in the province.

This bloated perpetual protest machine drains the public purse in more ways than taxpayers

realize.

Parents understand the strikes, though. They remember a union that scrapped report cards, disrupted administration and forced schools to shut down at graduation time.

The strike then dragged into the fall, as the government held the line on public service spending. And what was the key issue that kept schools closed?

It wasn’t special needs support, where student performance has continued to improve. No, it was the BCTF demanding a raise twice as big as other public-sector unions had already accepted.

In the end, their paltry strike fund long gone, the union grudgingly accepted the going rate.

They figured they had the elected government on the run in court.

Wrong again.

Next up for the ministry is taking control of professional development. A bill before the legislature will enforce standards, once the NDP is done denouncing it. Singing Solidarity Forever around a campfire and calling it paid professional development (a real example, by the way) will soon go the way of the unioncontrolled College of Teachers — onto the scrap heap of history.

There are BCTF members who understand how ill-served they are by their union. They are looking critically at the performance of their leaders, who are too often distracted by grandiose “social justice” campaigns as far away as the Middle East.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

NAYSAYERS OR FINANCIALLY PRUDENT FOLK?

Editor: Those of us who voice our opinions against the performing-arts centre as currently proposed pare being labelled naysayers and lacking willingness to make a small financial sacrifice (a couple of dinners out per year, to quote KTW editor Christopher Foulds’ column of April 14) for the good of the city.

I beg to differ.

I am a naysayer to the current proposal, not to the overall concept of building a new arts facility.

If I am being asked to make a small financial sacrifice as a contribution, then so, too, should we be able to fairly expect our city hall representatives to make a small sacrifice by finding savings of between one and five per cent in our expenditures.

Instead of a 1.22 per cent property-tax

increase this year, why not mandate all departments find five per cent in savings?

The money saved could go toward artscentre costs.

Why is it always the taxpayer that is being asked to pay up, but an equally sound effort to spend prudently and find savings is not made at the municipal-government level?

We are being asked to take on a significant new debt of a minimum of $49 million, even up to $75 million, as there is a +/- of 25 per cent either way on the cost estimate.

The cost of this debt (repaying debt and interest) will be between $73 million and $110 million over 20 years.

We are a city of less than 90,000 people, with a current debt load already of more than $100 million.

We are expecting average population

growth and struggling to maintain a competitive industrial tax rate by trying to expand our industrial taxation base with a bid to annex the New Afton mine.

We have ongoing infrastructure maintenance requirements and countless ways to spend our current funds.

Let’s ask our consultants to present us with proposals based on maximum expenditures of $20 million, $30 million and $40 million.

The taxpayer could then clearly see what we get for more money and decide on what is sufficient to meet our needs.

Let’s not overburden ourselves financially, making us incapable of meeting the ongoing fundamental needs of our city.

SINGH STREET BRIDGE REMAINS DECADES AWAY Editor: Re: Jay Barlow’s letter of May 5 (‘Spend money on a new bridge, not a pricey arts centre’): While I do agree a new bridge is a requirement of Kamloops’ future infrastructure, Barlow’s comments on building a new bridge now are already well know by the city — but many years down the road.

A quick look at the 2014

A NIGHT AT THE TVO TO REMEMBER

KamPlan under the section Growth to 2036 shows the Singh Street bridge won’t be looked at until city growth reaches a population of 120,000.

This may be well beyond 2036, according to KamPlan.

Many other large infrastructure projects will need to go ahead well before then, such as the Sixth Avenue extension from downtown to Sahali.

Editor: I want to send my sincere thanks to the Thompson Valley Orchestra for a wonderful evening of music on May 2.

Not only was the orchestra of 50 — ranging in age from teenagers to seniors — a joy to hear, but Paul

These projects and others will occur well before a bridge is even required.

Barlow mentions accidents on Overlanders Bridge as a reason for building a new span.

These accidents are caused because people still don’t seem to know how to drive and don’t really call for a new bridge — unless every car accident warrants a new bridge as a solution.

Moore, the world-class tenor from Vernon, was superb.

The music ranged from Broadway to opera, with Moore’s rendition of Nessun Dorma bringing tears to many eyes.

And all of this for $10.

How lucky we are to have such

While I believe Barlow had the best of intentions with his letter, a quick search would have shown why the Singh Street bridge is still decades away.

To take a page from those opposed to the proposed performing-arts centre, the Singh Street bridge is a want and not yet a need.

Decisions, decisions . . .

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin says city council will have some hard decisions to make this term as it moves ahead with a review of all service levels within its various departments.

The service-capacity review is among council’s priorities for the term, which were fleshed out on Tuesday during a special city council meeting.

Trawin said it’s likely to be a massive project.

“If you look at just the levels of service for public works, there’s a book about six inches thick,” he said.

Each of those services, from street sweeping to garbage pickup, will be reviewed to determine if the city is fulfilling its mandates.

“Now we’re talking about, are we even meeting what we’re pledging to meet? Are we getting out there and sweeping the streets

or cutting the grass in our parks as often as our policies say we ought to?” Mayor Peter Milobar told council. “And, if we’re not, are we putting up taxes or are we comfortable with where we are now?”

Trawin sees the review as a chance for council to look at what it spends on services and balance the chance of savings against other effects on the community.

“It allows them to realize, OK guys, here are some services that are essential, here are some services that aren’t, do you want to keep doing them or not?” he said.

Complicating the proceedings somewhat is the fact not every department has service-level policies spelled out.

Bylaw officers, for instance, don’t have a set number of parking or dog-related patrols to complete in a day, Trawin said.

So, that department will have to set out what its service levels are before council can begin wrestling with the question of how much enforcement should be based on

complaints versus self-directed patrolling.

“It is a huge, daunting process to go through that, but it is something that should be done because we do a lot of stuff,” Trawin said.

“And the community, as we know from the budget-input sessions, always wants us to do more — you know, don’t raise my taxes, but do this, this and this. If that’s going to happen, sooner or later some stuff is going to have to fall off the plate.”

Beyond the review, council’s focus is on increasing industrial land in the city, finishing an update to Kamloops’ Official Community Plan and continuing to work to meet environmental goals.

The goals include diverting 45 per cent of the waste headed to the city’s landfills to recycling centres by 2018. Last term, council’s goal was to divert 40 per cent of waste from the dumps by 2015.

Public works director Jen Fretz told council Kamloops has thus far reached 32 per cent diversion.

Mazigh to speak at TRU on May 13 DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Monia Mazigh was pleasantly surprised Albertans elected an NDP government to replace their Progressive Conservative dynasty.

A former New Democratic Party candidate herself, Mazigh said she had been watching the election â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;and people were seeing it coming but maybe not to this extent.â&#x20AC;?

She credited the party leader, Rachel Notley, the economic downtown the province has been experiencing as oil prices plummet and the simple reality â&#x20AC;&#x153;people really wanted a change.â&#x20AC;?

Mazigh, a former faculty member at Thompson Rivers University, spoke with KTW in advance of returning to the campus for a public speech on Wednesday, May 13, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calling Muslim Women Between Fiction and Reality.

She will also be reading from her novel Mirrors and Mirages, first published in French in 2011 and, more recently, published in English.

But, on this day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the day Bill C-51 was also expected to pass in the House of Commons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mazigh talked of gov-

Aggy’s Reunion at the Ranch SOME OF MOUNTAIN BIKING’S BEST COMING TO KAMLOOPS FOR FEST SERIES TOUR STOP NEXT WEEK ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops has given Graham Agassiz so much.

Aggy’s Reunion is just one way in which the professional mountain biker tries to give back to the Tournament Capital.

“It’s really cool that it has all kind of snowballed to where it is now,” Agassiz told KTW. “I helped build the bike park when it first came around. That place has given me so much, for my career and everything and just riding bikes in general.”

This will be the second time Kamloops has played host to Aggy’s Reunion — the second stop on the FEST Series tour for pro mountain biking.

The event will run on May 15 and May 16 at the Kamloops Bike Ranch.

Agassiz and five friends founded the FEST series, which is billed as being “all about riding and filming in perfect conditions, not having to depend on a time schedule or event organizers that make their own rules.”

In essence, it’s a handful of events by the riders, for the riders.

Each of the series’ stops take place at the home of a founding member. Already, the series has stopped in Santa Cruz, Calif., and will make future stops in Belgium, Norway, France and Spain before wrapping up in Retallack, B.C. Twenty riders will take part in the jamformat event in Kamloops, with riders selecting winners for awards like Best Line and Best Trick, rather than placings of first, second and third.

“Mainly, it’s just a glorified film shoot and we invite the public to come check it out and see what we’re doing,” Agassiz said.

This year’s event will also include an open jam — an event in which amateur riders from around Kamloops and the region are invited to partake. It will take place in the lower dirt jump park of the Kamloops Bike Ranch on May 15, in

the evening, under the lights.

“It’s all lit up,” Agassiz said.

“They can come and ride and jam and hang out and kind of show off for their parents and their friends and the crowd, just kind of get the community more involved.”

The event will also feature beer gardens and live music. It’s expected between 300 and 500 people will come out for the weekend’s activities.

Agassiz said course construction at the Bike Ranch will get underway this week for the Fest Series event, though he has been preparing all winter.

“The course is going to get a little bigger, we’ll add a couple more options,” Agassiz said.

Following the mid-May event, Agassiz will take part in the rest of the FEST Series, before again wrapping up his season with Red Bull Rampage in Utah.

The “great equalizer of all mountain bike events,” Rampage draws slopestyle riders, downhill racers and natural-terrain free riders to canyons in Utah, to compete for one the most prestigious titles in professional mountain biking.

Agassiz has yet to win a Rampage title,

but has been close in the past and will look to add that piece of hardware to his resume in 2015.

For now, though, the rider’s focus will be his second Kamloops event and continuing the work he has started with mountain biking in the Tournament Capital.

“For me to give back to the community a little bit is super wicked and I’m just really stoked that I have this opportunity and can do this,” Agassiz said.

Amateur riders interested in participating in the open jam can register at the event.

Blazers flock to Shepard with first pick MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

If Jackson Shepard turns out to be anything like Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher, the Kamloops Blazers will look back fondly at the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft, held yesterday in Calgary.

“I’d like to think of myself as a Brendan Gallagher-type player, a hard-nosed, smaller forward who makes things happen out there,” said Shepard, who the Blazers picked with their first selection in Round 2, 23rd overall.

“Don Hay, I know he’s a great coach and he coached Brendan Gallagher so, hopefully, he can turn me into something like that.”

Shepard, who stands 5-foot-8 and weighs 155 pounds, had 111 points, including 32 goals, in 61 games with the North Shore Winter Club (NSWC) Winterhawks last season, helping the club to a Western Canadian bantam championship.

The Blazers were without a first-round pick, having shipped it to Moose Jaw in December 2012 in a deal that saw defenceman Joel Edmundson come the other way.

Director of player personnel Matt Recchi said Shepard is a first-round talent and the Blazers are lucky to have him.

“We thought Jackson was a top-10 player in the draft,” Recchi said.

“He’s real competitive, he’s got great leadership qualities, lots of character and a very good skill-set. He knows how to win.”

Local hockey fans, along with the Blazer brass, were watching closely to see if Kamloops Minor Hockey Association product Ryan Chyzowski would slip into Round 2.

The Medicine Hat Tigers used the 18th overall pick to draft Chyzowski and ensure he did not land on Mark Recchi Way, “For me, it was a little surprising,” Recchi said. “I wasn’t sure if he was going to go that early in the first round, but he did and good for Ryan.

“We were kind of hoping he was going to be there for us, but he wasn’t and that’s the way the draft goes.”

Ty Kolle, who played last season with Okanagan Hockey Academy of Penticton, was the only other Kamloops product drafted yesterday. The Portland Winterhawks selected him in the fourth round.

Shepard is friends with Nolan Kneen and Conner McDonald, who were defence partners with NSWC before the Blazers drafted them in 2014, Kneen in the first

round, third overall, and McDonald in the second.

Kamloops did not have to wait long to select again in Round 2 yesterday, using the 26th overall pick to nab left-shooting defenceman Devan Harrison from Dysart, Sask.

The 6-foot-2, 165-pound blue-liner played for Prairie Storm in Saskatchewan last season, notching 35 points, including 10 goals, in 31 games.

“He came from a good program and we wanted to add more size on the back end,” Recchi said.

“He moves the puck well, a real intelligent player who competes hard.”

Kamloops picked 10 times — six forwards and four defenceman — in the draft and made one trade, sending a fourthround pick in 2016 to Victoria in exchange for a fourth-round pick in yesterday’s draft, which turned out to be left-shooting defenceman Luka Zazula of Delta Hockey Academy.

Recchi and general manager Craig Bonner did not have a third round pick and tried to swing a deal to get one, but never found a willing trade partner.

“We’re really happy with how the whole draft went, but especially early on,” Recchi said.

“We had Jackson ranked very high.”

Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com to read more about the Blazers’ 2015 draft class.

The Shepard family was gath-

ered around the computer at home in Vancouver waiting for Jackson’s name to be called.

“We were ecstatic,” said Dean Shepard, Jackson’s dad.

“There were people jumping around, lots of screaming and lots of yelling. You work so hard and there are lots of sacrifices along the way to get to this stage.”

The Blazers’ top pick, who was given the OK to miss school yesterday, can’t wait to get to Kamloops.

“It’s honestly a dream come true, being close to home with such a great organization,” Shepard said.

“It’s an unbelievable feeling and it’s such an honour.”

The top five

Ty Smith, a puck-moving defenceman from Lloydminster, was selected first overall by the Spokane Chiefs.

Defenceman Calen Addison from Brandon went second overall to the Lethbridge Hurricanes.

Okanagan Hockey Academy product Tyler Popowich, a forward from Surrey, was picked third overall by the Vancouver Giants.

The Moose Jaw Warriors, with a pick acquired from the Blazers, nabbed defenceman Jett Woo from Winnipeg fourth overall.

With the fifth overall selection, the Prince Albert Raiders picked forward Cole Fonstad, an Estevan product.

Moss tops world again STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Little Boss is a two-time jiu-jitsu world champion.

Liam Moss of Kamloops claimed gold in the juvenile (16- to 18-year-old), 61.5-kilogram blue-belt division at the Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championships, which wrapped up on April 22 in the United Arab Emirates.

“I think being able to come back and win for the second year in a row at one of the biggest tournaments in the world is a pretty big accomplishment,” said Moss, a 16-yearold Grade 10 student at South Kamloops secondary.

The tourney’s sanctioning body, the United Arab Emirates Jiu-Jitsu Federation, advertises the event with the slogan “One World, One Fight,” emphasizing its true test against the world’s top competitors.

Each of the 15 fighters in his division — representing the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Palestine, Jordan, Oman, Azerbaijan and Canada — had to earn spots at the world championships by winning qualifying tournaments held across the globe.

In the gold-medal matchup, Moss earned a victory over Shahin Shahin of Azerbaijan.

He topped Emirati fighters in the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds, disposing of Sultan Salem Dhaheri before knocking off Hassain Qassim Alyafea.

Moss won gold last year competing in the 14- and 15-year-old 54.5-kilogram division.

Liam Moss submitted multiple opponents en route to his second straight gold medal at the Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championships last month in the United Arab Emirates.

The jump up to a new age and weight class did not faze the young jiu-jitsu star.

“I was able to get a good training camp in and train with adults, so I felt pretty confident,” said Moss, who won two fights by submission and one on points in 2015.

“Every day in training, you work from different positions to improve your game.”

Moss travelled this year with teammates from Art of Jiu Jitsu Academy, the Costa Mesa, Calif., club run by multi-time world champions Guilherme and Rafael Mendes.

For the past three years, the River City fighter has competed across North America and the world, filling his trophy case with gold along the way.

Moss has become a grappling expert and it’s in that discipline where there might be a future career, should he remain stalwart in his decision to avoid

the bright lights of the UFC or other similar fighting promotions.

“I’d like to continue to study and attend training camps from leaders in the sport, locally, provincially, nationally and internationally,” he said.

“I want to compete all around the world, like Europe and Asia, and develop credentials to teach, become a coach and support others with a positive lifestyle.”

Since KTW last caught up with the Little Boss, a moniker awarded to him by training partners in the Tournament Capital, he has inked three sponsorship deals, signing on with the BJJ Depot, BJJ Ink and kristensphoto.com.

Grappling across the globe during the school year is made possible by administration and teachers at South Kam. “Their support has been outstanding,” said Moss’s father,

And they came home with bronze medals.

“It was an amazing experience,” Rosch told KTW. “Being able to go across Canada and play hockey, it was awesome.

“Especially playing at a high level of competitive hockey, it was the experience of a lifetime.”

After going 3-0 in round-robin play, B.C. won its first playoff game 7-1 against Team Atlantic. The province’s only loss of the tournament came the following night however — a 7-4 defeat at the hands of Alberta in a semifinal matchup — rel-

the only Kamloopsarea representatives at the tournament.

Tk’emlups Indian Band Chief Shane Gottfriedson was in Halifax, too, as part of Team B.C.’s coaching staff.

For Ignace, the 2015 tournament was his second trip to the NAHC. In 2014, he played for a B.C. club that captured silver in Quebec.

“We wanted to come back with gold, but to come out with bronze is pretty cool, too,” the 16-year-old forward, who had two assists in the tournament, said.

“I get one more year to help next year, too, so if we can get gold next year, that would be pretty cool.”

For Ignace and Rosch, who are good friends away from the rink, it was a special experience to travel across the country to play hockey together.

And though both felt pride in being able to represent their province and their towns — Ignace goes to school at South Kamloops secondary, but lives in Deadman’s Creek — being able to do so at an all-aboriginal tournament was particularly special.

“The pride is all there,” Rosch said.

“It’s a big thing, just because it’s aboriginal hockey, I guess.

“It’s still a national competition, it’s still an honour to be able to play at this tournament.”

WOLFPACK DROP CHAMPIONSHIP OPENER The WolfPack didn’t exactly start things off on the right foot.

Playing for third the following night, Ignace and Rosch helped Team B.C. to a 5-4 defeat of Team Manitoba to finish the tournament on the podium.

“We went over there as probably one of the fastest teams in the tournament, expecting a better place,” Rosch, a defenceman, said. He noted the level of play was similar to what he saw in a full season playing in the B.C. Major Midget League with the Blazers.

“But, a bronze medal at a national event, it’s pretty big. I don’t really know how to put it into words at the moment.”

In the second matchup between the clubs, Kyle McIlwain threw a pitching gem of his own, tossing a one-hit complete game, striking out eight of the 17 batters he faced.

Austin AnthonyJules went 3-for-3 with a single, double and triple.

NATIONAL SPORTS

CLOSE IS CLOSE ENOUGH FOR NFL, GOODELL JIM LITKE

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

T

he NFL moves heaven and earth a dozen times every Sunday of the season to get calls on the field exactly right.

But, investigations and disciplinary matters?

Not so much. In those cases, close is apparently close enough.

At the end of a nearly four-month investigation into what’s been dubbed “Deflategate” or “Ballghazi,” NFLappointed investigator Ted Wells arrived at — more or less — the same conclusions most of us did at the beginning. a) A Patriots’ ball boy did it. b) He had inside help.

c) Despite repeated denials, golden boy quarterback Tom Brady masterminded the whole thing.

Being a lawyer, Wells needed 243 pages to say as much.

And he couched those conclusions in less-accusatory terms, such as “more probable than not” and “was at least generally aware.”

That way, Brady and everybody else in the Patriots’ organization but the two low-level employees — officials’ locker room attendant Jim McNally and equipment assistant John Jastremski — wouldn’t be bothered to enter a plea. Only in NFL investigations and no-fault divorces does that kind of cynicism count as sound legal advice.

But, Wells’ turn of phrase wasn’t entirely about convenience. It turns out “more probable than not” is the exact phrase the NFL put to paper a halfdozen years ago in case commissioner Roger Goodell decides to step in and punish teams for what were deemed competitive violations.

Those have ranged from “Spygate” in New England to “Bountygate” in New Orleans to piping in fake crowd noise (“Cheergate?”) in Atlanta — and the penalties have been all over the place.

If this is beginning to sound like your typical NCAA mess — without the phoney “student-athlete” mantra, of course — there’s a good reason. The Patriots are a lot like coach Barry Switzer’s great Oklahoma teams of four decades ago: They’re always in the

hunt for a championship and occasionally willing to bend the rules to get there.

Throw in the “usagainst-the-world” philosophy and what you wind up with is an organization bothered more by losing than cheating. Or, in NCAA parlance, “a lack of institutional control.”

Given his track record, expecting Goodell to get the discipline right in what’s become a delicate situation might be too much of an ask. He was too secretive in “Spygate,” getting rid of the evidence too soon, then overzealous in “Bountygate,” before being rescued from further embarrassment by his predecessor-acting-as-arbitrator, Paul Tagliabue.

And there isn’t time to recap how badly Goodell bungled a string of domesticabuse cases involving

players that began with Ray Rice.

For their part, the Patriots haven’t exactly behaved like slick jewel thieves or shining lights, either.

Owner Robert Kraft whined there was no “incontrovertible” proof, but agreed to accept the NFL’s findings and any leagueimposed discipline. At least he’s not demanding an apology anymore.

Wells also cleared coach Bill Belichick and his staff, though it was almost unnecessary. After “Spygate,” Belichick learned not to leave his fingerprints on anything dicey again.

Not Brady.

He denied knowing McNally and refused to share to his own emails, text messages and phone records.

But, the report noted, “. . . McNally told NFL Security that

he had been personally told by Brady of Brady’s inflation-level preference.’’ So, while Kraft once boasted that Brady never lied to him, Wells concluded — to borrow his phrase one more time, it was “more probable than not” — that Brady lied to them.

This whole episode would be comical, except it raises questions about the integrity of the Patriots and Brady, one of the greatest teams and quarterback of any era.

And don’t forget: whatever advantage they gained from a slightly under-inflated football was negligible.

In both the second half against the Colts in a playoff game, and then against a much-vaunted Seattle defence in the Super Bowl — when the game balls were watched over, cuddled and obsessed over like

a royal baby — Brady completed 12-of-14 passes with three touchdowns and was 37-of-50 with four TDs, respectively.

But, if he’s in the starting lineup for New England’s opener on Sept. 10, when the Patriots plan to show off the Vince Lombardi Trophy to a packed Gillette Stadium crowd, it will be a joke.

Anything less than four games — a quarter of the season — will be.

Taking away draft picks and/or fining the franchise aren’t necessary to make the point.

Sometimes the easiest way to teach people the importance of a level playing field is simply to tilt it and let them see what it looks like from the wrong end.

Belarus stuns United States Ed Chynoweth Cup at world championship Rockets and Wheat Kings KAREL JANICEK

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Belarus beat the United States for the first time, 5-2 at the ice hockey world championship yesterday.

Also, the host Czech Republic bounced back from a loss to Canada with a 5-1 win over France for its second victory.

Following five losses to the Americans, Belarus’ milestone win in Ostrava was its third in the group stage and a major step to advance to the quarterfinals for the second straight year.

Belarus tops Group B after four games with 10 points, one ahead of the U.S. and Russia.

The top four teams in each of the two groups of eight will advance to the quarterfinals.

The Czechs are fourth in Group A with seven points. Canada leads with 12, followed by Sweden and Switzerland, each with eight.

After a scoreless first period between Belarus and the U.S., Artur Gavrus and Artyom Volkov scored 70 seconds apart in the second period and captain Alexander Kitarov added a third for a commanding 3-0 lead.

It was too much for the Americans to overcome, especially with goaltender Kevin Lalande having a good game making 28 saves,

including a big stop in the second to deny Jimmy Vesey on a breakaway.

Brock Nelson finally scored for the U.S. before the end of the second, but a pair in the third by captain Alexei Kalyuzhny, around his two-minute penalty for hooking, sealed Belarus’ historic day.

“We had the momentum early and they pushed back through work and discipline,” U.S. coach Todd Richards said. “They turned the tide and put us on our heels.”

Belarus coach Dave Lewis agreed.

“We did not settle into the game until the second period.”

Czech defenceman Ondrej Nemec broke the scoreless deadlock in his game 1:10 into the second period, and added another goal and an assist against France.

“I’m glad we won,” Nemec said.

“The goals are an extra bonus for me. Our offence was good but there were some mistakes in the defence again, and a better opponent could punish us.”

Vladimir Sobotka, Jaromir Jagr, and Roman Cervenka had the other Czech goals.

Kevin Hecquefeuille scored the lone one for France.

Later yesterday, Sweden played Germany in Group A and Finland faced Slovenia in Group B.

start WHL final tonight MONTE STEWART

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Josh Morrissey has excelled on the international stage for Canada during his four-year Western Hockey League career but, until now, he has never had the chance to play for a league title.

The Kelowna Rockets defenceman aims to make the most of it as his club faces the Wheat Kings in the final, starting today in Brandon.

This marks the first time

since 2003 the top two regularseason teams have reached the championship series.

“Knowing that this could very well be my last season in junior, I definitely want to end it off in the right way,’’ said Morrissey, a Winnipeg Jets prospect who is expected to play in the AHL or NHL next season.

The 19-year-old Calgary native helped Canada win this year’s world junior championship. He has also garnered gold medals at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament and IIHF

under-18 worlds.

After beginning the season with the struggling Prince Albert Raiders, he is savouring the rare chance for a world junior crown, a WHL championship and a Memorial Cup title in one season.

“Regardless of your age or time in the league or anything like that, it’s so hard to win and so hard to get the chance to win,” Morrissey said.

“You might never have that opportunity [at any level] again.”

PLANS FOR SEATTLE STADIUM MOVING FORWARD SEATTLE — Plans for a proposed multipurpose arena in Seattle’s stadium district can move forward after a final environmental impact statement (FEIS) found no major issues to block the project.

The FEIS on investor Chris Hansen’s plans for an arena near Safeco Field and CenturyLink Field was released by the city yesterday.

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray said the report makes Seattle “one step closer to bringing NHL hockey and NBA basketball back to Seattle.”

But there are obstacles ahead, namely a basketball franchise must be acquired before arena construction can begin.

That is part of the memorandum of understanding among Hansen, the City of Seattle and King County that runs through late 2017.

The project still needs approval of a street being vacated and has faced opposition from the Port of Seattle and the Mariners regarding the location.

JOHN DELBERT ROSE July 7, 1926 May 8, 2014

Gone but never forgotten.

Reunited with your pal “Scruffy” Always in our hearts Your Loving Family

DARREN HINES

WILLIAM PETER EDWARD (BILL) DIXON

Darren Hines died in the presence of three generations of family. Bob Dylan strummed and sang out in Darren’s last shallow breaths - from a live recording from 1963 - that there comes a time ‘to lay down a weary tune’. Darren’s song had indeed become weary, and it was time to sing out another.

The ravaged body of this drummer, at the hands of MS, could no longer contain the rhythm for freedom.

Like all characters, Darren has mythic stories and paradoxes.

He could skateboard well and play frisbee in the deep sand: all in shin high heavy combat boots and studded leather jacket. His six foot six inch tattooed body contained a strong masculine, yet gentle nature (although not unknown to anger).

He was a flirt with women - he loved women! He had an offer to hang out and travel up north with the up and coming unknown band at the time: Dixie Chicks (a true story arising from a chance encounter at the Cache Creek Dairy Queen and confirmed by other witnesses!). He survived pellet gun assaults from older demented brothers who imprisoned him in a cardboard box. He loved to experiment with his hair: he fell asleep with bleach in his jet black flat top in an attempt to go blond - only to discover in the shower the next morning that he was shiny bald (and just before high school graduation). He could somehow honk with his throat identical to a bike horn. He valued humor that was always on the very edge of frightening - and yet managed to stay on the ruthlessly hilarious side of the line. Darren was a poet who loved countrified-punk music but had a diverse taste and eclectic hunger for new sounds and rhythms. He could speak with tears and then laugh about being ‘institutionalized’. He knew the dark shadow of depression, grappling with profound sorrow at each setback. He is cherished to the end for the ready engaging smile and witty charm. He knew the art of friendship. He died far too young at 46 years of life.

Darren was devoted to his daughter, Sarah. As he lost layers of ability, he often described that what sustained him was her presence. She gave him a meaning that was solace enough.

Darren is survived by his daughter Sarah Hines, his parents Bonnie and Garfield Hines, his brothers Brian Hines (Annette) and Dan Hines (Robyn), and a loving extended family. The family wishes to extend a special thanks to the care homes and their staff members who provided home for Darren over these past years: Ponderosa, The Hamlets and Gemstone.

Remember and celebrate Darren’s life with us at a gathering at 2:00 pm on Saturday, May 23, 2015 at Kamloops Free Methodist Church, 975 Windbreak Street, Kamloops, BC.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of William Peter Edward (Bill) Dixon on Friday, May 1, 2015 at the age of 33.

Left behind to cherish his memory is his wife Tami (nee Kendall) and their two-year-old son Frazier. Bill is survived by his mother Edith Gazzola, stepfather Clark Carter, brother Jeremy Dixon (Raquel), stepbrother Timothy Carter, father-in-law Alan Kendall (Cathy), brother-in-law Sid Kendall (Jodi), aunt Judy MacNeill (Rodger), uncle Michael Gazzola (Pam), aunt Patricia Zimmer (Robert), aunt Mary Ellen Beamin (Charlie), aunt Lea Ann Russell, aunt Debra Dunsmore (Mic). He will also be missed by nieces, nephews, cousins and numerous lifelong friends.

Bill was predeceased by his father Michael Dixon, grandparents Edward Dixon (Dorothy), Ruth Dixon, Peter and Mary Gazzola, uncle Peter Gazzola and mother-in-law Noreen Kendall.

Bill was born in Hope, BC on May 18, 1981, and growing up he spent time in Hope, Vancouver and Yale. He graduated from Hope Senior Secondary in 2000, and lived in Lone Butte before moving to Kamloops, where he enrolled in welding at Thompson Rivers University. While in Kamloops, Bill met his wife Tami and they began their life together; they married on a sun swept Mexican beach in January 2012, surrounded by their closest friends and family members.

Bill took great pride in his family, although he spent years working in camps in Alberta, when he was hired by Highland Valley Copper in February he was so excited to finally be back home full-time.

His passing was shocking and terribly unfair, we take solace in knowing he was with friends and doing something he loved. Bill is loved so deeply by everyone he knew, he will be greatly missed.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, May 16th, 2015 at 2:00 pm at the Schoening Funeral Chapel with Pastor Don Maione officiating.

In lieu of flowers, a family trust account has been set up at TD Canada Trust in support of Tami and Frazier. Donations can be made at any branch quoting Transit #91460 and Account #6316630.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the MS Society in Darren’s name.

Show kindness to friends, and enemies too

I

like to collect inspirational quotes. This one, by the 17th century author of Pilgrim’s Progress, John Bunyan, is a favourite: “You have not lived today, until you have done something for someone who cannot repay you.”

Most of us have been recipients of that type of generosity — and a few of us have been that generous person.

Parents and grandparents do this all the time. What is surprising is when one stranger does it for another, and astounding when someone is extraordinarily generous to an enemy. The world would be a much better place, though, if everyone followed Bunyan’s advice.

I have heard it said that there is no such thing as real altruism, giving freely with no

expectation of reward.

They say your reward is the warm fuzzy feeling you get by doing something special for someone. Or maybe it is the public recognition of being a benefactor or philanthropist.

Certainly, Order of Canada recipients are replete with individuals who put Bunyan’s maxim into practice on a regular basis. But, generally, they aren’t the type of people who say, “Finally! I really deserve to put OC after

my name.”

On the contrary, they are people who say, with sincere modesty, “I don’t really deserve this award.

Others are much more worthy.”

Before David became King of Israel, he had a best friend, Jonathan, who was the son of King Saul. They were extremely close, with the kind of intense friendship exemplified

by Frodo and Sam in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

After Saul and Jonathan were killed in battle, David became king of all Israel, and fabulously wealthy. He asked his advisors, “Is there yet anyone left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”

Apparently, Jonathan had a son, Mephibosheth, who was lame in both feet.

He was living in the household of Ziba, a

former servant of Saul, and was unable to provide for himself.

David ordered that all of the personal lands of Saul be restored to Mephibosheth, directed Ziba and his family and servants to work the land on his behalf, and told Mephibosheth that, in addition, he would “eat at his table regularly.”

In other words, Mephibosheth would have a place of honour at the king’s table every day he wished to eat there.

This was not only significantly generous, but very unusual for an ancient king to spare the life of someone who was a competing heir to the throne.

As Saul’s grandson, Mephibosheth was technically the heir to the throne of Israel.

It was common practice in those days for a victorious general intent on becoming king, to assassinate

every single family member of the legitimate heir to a throne, so that no competing faction could rally around him for an attempt to restore the monarchy to the rightful heirs.

Mephibosheth knew this, and said with some trepidation when brought before David, “What is your servant, that you should regard a dead dog like me?”

But, David said, “Do not fear, for I will surely show kindness to you for the sake of your father Jonathan…”

There are two important lessons in this story.

The first is that we all know a Mephibosheth — someone in our past, or present, who may well be defective in some way — addicted, jobless, lonely, irritating, perhaps just plain hard to like. We’re secretly relieved if they don’t come around, and if

we do bump into them, we make our excuses to avoid spending any time with them.

Yet it is in your power to do something generous for them, especially when they will have no way of repayment.

Find your Mephibosheth, even if it takes some real effort, and make a real difference in their life.

The second important lesson is that we are all Mephibosheths.

We are the broken ones, for all of us are crippled, in a spiritual sense, by sin.

We lost our birthright in Eden, and none of us deserve to eat at the king’s table in heaven.

Yet that is what Jesus Christ, the King of kings, is freely offering to us. And the most remarkable thing about this extraordinarily generous gift, is that he is offering it to those who are his sworn

enemies.

It’s not hard to find books written by exatheists or those who were once hostile or supremely indifferent to organized religion.

C.S. Lewis’ Surprised by Joy comes to mind.

Their surprising journey from an enemy of God, to a devoted friend, is fascinating.

What God is saying to everyone reading these words is, “Come, eat at my banquet table, Mephibosheth.

I know you can’t repay me, but I want to do it anyway, because of my love for you.”

McKale coming to Canada as McDonald’s goes ‘progressive’ THE CANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK— Canadian McDonald’s patrons will soon see something unexpected on the menu at the struggling fast-food giant: kale.

The world’s biggest burger chain, in a battle to reinvent itself, is introducing three salads in Canada with trendy kale as an ingredient.

Anne Parks, the director of menu management for McDonald’s Canada, said the new Greek, Caesar, and harvest garden salads were developed over more than a year of research and focus-group testing.

“We’re always trying to meet our customers’ needs so the menu is going to change and evolve,’’ she said.

“What we’re seeing is that people want a balance of choices.’’

The company is working to shake its junk-food image as sales at established U.S. locations have declined for six straight quarters.

CEO Steve Easterbrook, has said he wants to turn the chain into a “modern, progressive burger company.’’

McDonald’s American division is running a pilot proj-

ect of the salads in California.

Kathleen Kevany, a social scientist in

Dalhousie University’s faculty of agriculture who was involved in organizing the first

national kale day in 2013, said McDonald’s is known for bringing products that are

already popular to a mass market, not innovating new products.

“We can see,

with the decline of McDonald’s sales in recent years, that other successful products are

attracting the attention of consumers,’’ she said.

“Kale is one of these successful foods.’’

ALBERTA REMAINS LEAD TO BC ARREST NANAIMO — A man wanted in an Alberta murder has been arrested in Nanaimo.

Police said 30-yearold Tommy Paul was spotted by plainclothes officers on Wednesday while riding a bike.

RCMP said Paul was wanted on a Canadawide arrest warrant in connection with the death of 25-year-old Adrian Snider.

Paul is the third person to be arrested after investigators found human remains in a rural area near Grande Prairie, Alta.

Edmonton police say they are believed to be those of Snider, who was last seen March 6.

‘We done it’: Over Ottawa’s objections Omar Khadr released THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — “Mr. Khadr, you’re free to go.’’

With those spare words, an Alberta justice paved the way for former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Omar Khadr to get his first taste of freedom in almost 13 years.

Supporters in the courtroom gasped in joy and Khadr, 28, smiled broadly as Appeal Court

Justice Myra Bielby rejected the government’s last-ditch attempt to block his bail yesterday.

The government, she said, had failed to prove his release would cause serious harm to Canadian interests or pose a risk to the public.

Khadr’s longtime lawyer Dennis Edney walked over to his client and whispered, “We done it,’’ as he squeezed his fingers.

Outside court, an emotional Edney said the day had been a long time coming as he talked about his client’s ordeal since the Americans captured him grievously wounded in Afghanistan in July 2002, when he was 15 years old.

The government, which has consistently branded Khadr an unrepentant terrorist and said it would fight his release every step of the way, expressed disappoint-

ment at the latest turn of events. “(We) regret that a convicted terrorist has been allowed back into Canadian society without having served his full sentence,’’ Jeremy Laurin, a spokesman for Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney, said in a statement.

As paperwork was prepared for Khadr’s release, which comes with a list of restrictions including wearing a tracking bracelet

and a curfew, an emotional Edney stepped outside to denounce a federal government under Prime Minister Stephen Harper for showing no mercy.

“Mr. Harper is a bigot,” Edney said.

“We left a Canadian child in Guantanamo Bay to suffer torture (and) we Canada participated in this torture. So today’s a wonderful day for justice.’’

“Did you know our proposed expansion follows the existing route for most of the way?”

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — When Zofia Cisowski immigrated to Canada she saw the RCMP as the symbol of democracy and trust, but that was destroyed in the years since officers jolted her son with a Taser, a court heard.

“My faith in the honesty of the RCMP has forever been shaken,’’ said the mother’s letter read at the sentencing of RCMP Const. Kwesi Millington on Thursday.

Millington was convicted of perjury for lying during a public inquiry into Robert Dziekanski’s death at Vancouver’s airport in October 2007.

His defence lawyer opposed allowing Cisowski to read her victim-impact statement into the record.

But B.C. Supreme Court Justice William Ehrcke rejected the argument that Cisowski didn’t qualify as a victim because Millington’s crime was against the “administration of justice.’’ ``It is difficult to put into a few or any words how the perjury of Mr. Millington has impacted to me,’’ Ehrcke read from Cisowski’s writing.

“When I came to Canada I saw the RCMP as the main symbol of Canada and what it stood for, a democracy where people could always trust the police,’’ she wrote.

Crown lawyer Scott Fenton told the hearing that the disgraced Mountie convicted of lying about the high-profile death of Dziekanski should spend up to three years in prison.

Fenton said Millington’s punishment should take into account the seriousness of his offence, that his testimony was vital to the inquiry and that his perjury was planned, deliberate and sustained.

“It was not an emotional, immediate, knee-jerk response to a question,’’ he said.

“It continued over three days. The accused had ample time to prepare for the inquiry.’’

The Crown argued Millington’s position of authority, as well as his apparent lack of remorse, were aggravating factors that demanded a more serious punishment than the conditional sentence expected to be recommended by defence.

“Perjury is something that strikes at the heart or the core of the administration of justice,’’ Fenton said. ``Perjury committed by a police officer is even more serious.’’

Millington and Cpl. Benjamin (Monty) Robinson were each convicted of perjury earlier this year.

They were among four officers who responded to reports of Dziekanski throwing furniture around the international terminal before he was stunned with a Taser and died.

Constables Gerry Rundel and Bill Bentley were each acquitted of perjury charges, though the Crown is appealing the verdict in Bentley’s case.

Perjury carries a maximum sentence of 14 years, and Cisowski said on Thursday she hopes Millington spends time behind bars.

IHA must pay Penticton woman held in care home against her will VICTORIA — A woman who was “held hostage’’ in a British Columbia hospital has been given an apology and reimbursed for two years of fees.

David Varcoe of Penticton, B.C., says his wife Nancy was put in “unlawful confinement’’ in a residential care facility for years despite her wishes to be discharged and sent home.

The B.C. office of the ombudsperson investigated the Varcoes complaints and ordered Interior Health to formally apologize, refund residential care fees and develop guidelines and train staff on their responsibilities under the Adult Guardianship Act. The investigation concluded the actions of the

Interior Health authority resulted in significant loss of liberty and financial hardship to David Varcoe and his wife — who had a series of strokes before entering the home.

David Varcoe says the family was paid more than $25,000 in residential care fees, but he is considering legal action to compensate for the pain and suffering he and his wife endured.

B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake says the case is complex and health officials always strive to provide the best care for patients, but that the legal rights of patients are paramount.

Tenpin rolls back into Kamloops JESSICA KLYMCHUK

STAFF REPORTER

jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com

The rumours are true.

Fluorescent 15-pound bowling balls are lined up and ready to score a tenpin strike at Falcon Lanes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been getting calls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do you really have it?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Yes, we really have it,â&#x20AC;? said owner Joel Loehr.

After six weeks of renovations, Falcon Lanes opened six tenpin bowling lanes on April 1. The idea was eight years in the making.

When Loehr and his brother Jarett purchased the 40-year old facility in 2006, the plan was to offer an alternative and turn a selection of the 16 lanes into tenpin, but various economical obstacles delayed the process.

This year, the pair decided things were looking up enough to make the investment. Being the only centre in Kamloops with the combination would be a benefit and Loehr said they knew the demand was there.

THE DIFFERENCE Scoring: In tenpin bowling, each pin is worth one point and a perfect score is 300. In fivepin bowling, the front pin is worth five points, the second row pins are worth three points and the corner pins are worth two points. A perfect score is 450.

Weight: Tenpin bowling balls range from six pounds to 15 pounds and are nine inches in diameter. Fivepin bowling balls weigh three pounds 10 ounces and are 4.8 to five inches in diameter.

Attempts: In tenpin bowling, you get two rolls per turn. In fivepin bowling, you get three rolls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On almost a weekly basis, we were getting phonecalls from people who were interested in finding out where the nearest tenpin centre was and we were getting tired of telling them it was in Kelowna,â&#x20AC;? Loehr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were wanting to satisfy the demand.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something different.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had in town for 15 years.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how long itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been since Strike Zone, Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; previous tenpin facility, shut its doors. But,

Loehr said, there are still many tenpin bowlers in town who missed it.

Falcon Lanes has already garnered interest in a tenpin league, which it hopes to make a reality in the fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The response has been very positive,â&#x20AC;? Loehr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve definitely noticed an increase in our business.â&#x20AC;?

In addition to Tournament Capital residents interested in the novelty, American tourists who pass through are usually

looking for tenpin, as well as the 2,000-plus international students who reside in Kamloops for most of the year, he said.

Fivepin bowling is as unique to Canada as threedown football.

Regular league play

and tournaments wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be affected as, although the ball retrieval had to be converted and computer system updated, the lanes are the the same width and length, so they can be used for either.

The naked truth about the gymâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locker room

F

rankly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m seeing a little too much of the frank on Fourth Avenue.

It was a day like any other â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I had finished work an hour before, had a great workout and was looking forward to a good meal when I got home. I walked into the change room of the downtown YMCAYWCA and sat down to start untying my shoes.

And as I looked up, there it was, swinging back and forth about a foot from my face. It kept on swinging as another member of the Y towelled his back, apparently oblivious to the concept of the personal bubble.

The Young Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christian Association evidently forgot to give Adam his leaf.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the first time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been greeted by the full monty at the downtown Y. And, while I realize itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a change room and a little nudity is par for the course, things seem to be getting a little too free in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room.

Fooled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Em AGAIN bag, I walk out with another image seared into my memory. One day, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the pair of men talking in their birthday suits for more than 10 minutes, one with his leg up on the bench. Another afternoon, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a guy standing in front of the mirror doing his hair, with his towel over his shoulder rather than around his waist.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong. I get that locker rooms are for changing, but it seems a few of my fellow gym-goers are abusing the system.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about the YMCA-YWCA here â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a family facility.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have kids, but something tells me they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to come face to . . . face with strangers wearing nothing but their smiles every time they get changed for their swimming lessons.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worse is Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the without-a-stitch shenanigans continue, regardless of the scenario.

Last week, a couple of the boys didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind showing off the boys in front a father and daughter headed home from the pool. The daughter was about five.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the only one who has noticed the nightly nudity.

When I went on a rant about this very topic at a Super Bowl party earlier this year, a local dad said he and his family stopped going to the YMCA-YWCA for this very reason. People were a little too waggish with the willy.

All I can say is cover it up, men.

My nightly trip to the Y has started to rival amateur night at The Duchess.

I think the gym may need to be addressed with a little redressing.

BOOK REVIEW

Threaten to Undo Us tells dark tale set during Second World War ELMA SCHEMENAUER

SPECIAL TO KTW

M

artin Luther’s famous words run deep in Liesel’s consciousness — “A mighty fortress is our God” — sustaining her through many “mortal ills.”

She is a main character in the historical novel Threaten to Undo Us by Rose Seiler Scott.

Like many German people, Liesel gets along well with her Polish neighbours in their mixed PolishGerman area of Europe.

Then World War II changes the situation.

The map of Poland is redrawn. Germans in Polish territory, who are now regarded as

aliens, must leave their homes.

They are denied human rights and enslaved by the newly established Russian Communist regime.

Threaten to Undo Us starts in 1945, the year Liesel and her children are driven from their beloved farm home.

The story then returns to the year 1919, with Liesel at age six. We see her growing up in a devout German Lutheran family, coexisting peacefully with the Polish Catholics around them.

For example, young Liesel savours Polish words such as kapliczka, meaning statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Readers get the impression that, left to themselves, these two religiously and ethni-

cally diverse peoples would continue to respect and cooperate with each other for years to come.

Unfortunately, disruptive political and philosophical ideas are afoot. The author personalizes them for us when one of the characters, Günther Hoffmann, joins Hitler Youth (part of the National Socialist, or Nazi, Party).

Here’s Günther describing the party’s aims: “Hitler is planning to Germanize Poland . . . The Slavs (including Poles) and the Jews are sub-human. The Aryan race is superior.”

Liesel’s father protests: “We are all made in the image of God.” The tension between Germans involved in the war and

those opposed to the Nazis is a major theme in the novel.

Liesel’s husband, Ernst, doesn’t want to join the German army.

He isn’t interested in “fighting for the glory of the Fatherland” and doesn’t believe “religion is for the weak.”

However, he does eventually join the Self-Protection Unit, or Selbstschutz, because he wants to help prevent harm from coming to his wife and family.

When the Selbstschutz is absorbed into the unified armed forces of Germany, Ernst finds himself in the military after all.

In a heartbreaking scene, he returns home on leave. Some of his and Liesel’s children don’t know him.

He has been away

THE BASICS

for too long. Ernst himself “had seen and done things he couldn’t explain to his wife and children.”

As the war drags on, some German soldiers are forced to admit they were wrong.

“It is all a big lie, you know. The Hitler youth . . .”

The Fatherland’s visions of glory have shrunk down to a desire for mere survival.

Liesel’s husband, Ernst, is imprisoned by the Russians. Liesel, meanwhile, has to fend for herself and their children.

One child, Heidi, is born while they flee from the Russians.

Soon afterwards, Russian soldiers rape her.

Will the brave beleaguered Liesel ever see her husband again?

Will he even accept

her, defiled as she is by rape?

The author keeps us waiting right to the end of the story to find answers to these heartrending questions.

Another question: “What will become of Christianity in face of the materialistic and crushing onslaught of Nazism and Communism?” Rev. E. J. Way, a Canadian chaplain during World War II, posed that query.

His answer, published in the BMA Blitz, went like this: “Christianity may lose many of its children, weakened and worn down by the artful strategy and brute force of evil powers, but the good will be made better and the strong stronger in the face of adversity.

“Like gold they will be purified in the cru-

cible of suffering and affliction.”

Liesel’s faith doesn’t really flourish in the face of what she and her family suffer.

Nevertheless it does survive — a testament to her character and the power of God. The author, Rose Seiler Scott, is good at characterization and portraying the life of the times. For example, here’s Liesel contrasting two of her sons: “Olaf…at butchering time scarcely to be found.”

His older brother is “not at all bothered to wring a chicken’s neck or help pour the blood from a pig’s head.”

Despite this little problem, Threaten to Undo Us is a good read for anyone interested in history, politics, faith, family, and relationships among ethnic groups.

Kamloops takes on PG in SPCA City Challenge They’re raising money so the SPCA won’t go to the dogs.

The B.C. SPCA is encouraging animal lovers to pitch in during this year’s City Challenge, a competition that will see the Kamloops B.C. SPCA branch square off against the North Cariboo District Branch in Prince George to raise funds for animals in their communities.

During the month of May, both locations will play host to fundraising events in hopes of collecting donations to help abused, neglected and homeless animals.

The SPCA is a nonprofit organization.

Both communities are hoping to grab bragging rights, as well as hit fundraising targets of $50,000 or more.

“I’m confident that the people of Kamloops are going to do us proud and turn out in full force to show Prince George that we have the most generous and compassionate animal lovers,” said Kamloops branch manager Charleen Holloway.

The B.C. SPCA provided a wide range of services for animals in need in 2014, including in-shelter care and free or subsidized outreach services to care for and assist 45,244 animals in need across British Columbia, with 1,098 of those animals helped at the Kamloops SPCA. Kamloops’ City Challenge events lineup includes: • May 1 to May 30 — Bottle drive. Bottles can be dropped off at the Kamloops SPCA shelter

at 1121 Eighth St., at General Grants bottle depot at 611 Fortune Drive and at the Lorne Street bottle depot at 270 Halston Ave.; • May 9 — Dallas Fresh Market anniversary barbecue.

Scotiabank MS Walk returns later this month

Kamloops will be among the 6,000 British Columbians walking to end multiple sclerosis later this month.

The Scotiabank MS Walk will hit the streets of the Tournament Capital on May 24. The event will simultaneously take place at more than 20 other locations across the province.

Multiple sclerosis is a disease affecting the central nervous system and can cause symptoms such as loss of balance, impaired speech, extreme fatigue, vision impairment, changes in mood and cognition and impaired mobility.

Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world.

Individuals living with MS can often face an uncertain future, with potential for job instability, income insecurity, inability to fulfill

daily responsibilities and isolation due to mobility impairment. The Scotiabank MS Walk offers individuals and teams the chance to celebrate hope, while raising funds for Canadian-led research, services and programs.

“I walk for my childhood friend and the thousands of Canadians living with MS,” said Danica Therrien, a team captain in the Kamloops Walk.

The Scotiabank MS Walk will feature a wheelchair accessible route supporting participants who use mobility aids.

To register, visit mswalks.ca or call (250) 314-0773.

Participants who raise at least $20 will be entered to win a night in Vancouver prize package.

Last year, 550 participants raised $78,000 for the MS Society, Kamloops and Area Chapter.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Q: Why is the Overlanders Bridge project going to take five months and why does it seem like not much work has been done yet?

A: City of Kamloops transportation co-ordinator Colleen Lepik said the first 10 days of construction on the bridge were focused on erecting barriers to block some lanes off to traffic and putting up scaffolding around the western sidewalk, which will be reconstructed as part of the bridge project.

Crews have begun work on the sidewalk itself — but below the surface of the deck, where passing motorists can’t see.

With workers from Innovative Civil Constructors, the city’s contractor, now peeling away asphalt from the bridge deck, it will be easier to see what’s being done on the bridge.

Lepik said the project requires so much time because of the many components involved.

“The entire Overlanders Bridge rehabilitation project is extensive and includes rehabilitation of the half-kilometre bridge deck (concrete repairs, deck joint replacement, new waterproofing membrane, repaving, and improved lighting); recon-

struction of the west sidewalk, including concrete supports, sidewalk panels, guardrail, and lighting; rehabilitation of the Fortune Drive overpass; and repaving of the north and south approach roadways,” she told KTW in an email.

Here, it’s the story of the everyday lives of those immigrants who helped shape New York’s history and culture.

In its heyday at the turn of the last century, this part of the city produced 85 per cent of garments for the United States, and the area teemed with new arrivals — Jewish Eastern Europeans, Germans, Irish, Italians and others.

Most came with the intent of living the American dream, but the facts of their lives were stark. Tenement living was crowded, noisy and unsanitary, and always either too hot or too cold.

Yet with little choice, from 1863 to 1935, some 7,000 immigrants made 97 Orchard Street their home.

By the mid 1930s, when legislation

required landlords to fireproof hallways and undertake other upgrades, many of these cockroach-infested tenements were torn down. Except for Number 97, where the owner deemed it easier to evict the tenants and board the building up.

This is how it remained for more than half a century, during which it has become something akin to a time capsule.

The faded wallpaper still oozes the smell of soot from the coalburning stoves, the paintwork has turned the color of tobacco, and the stained wooden staircases creak at every step with the pain and anguish of the building’s history.

One of the oldest tenements in New York, Number 97 is typical of its day.

Each of the five floors accommodates four tiny apartments, no more than 350 square feet, and each housed an average of six people as well as, in many instances, the family business.

In 1905 when indoor plumbing was introduced, each floor shared one toilet in the hallway. Back then, it was considered a huge improvement to traipsing along the dark corridors (gas lighting didn’t arrive until the early 1900s) and down several flights of stairs to the communal outhouse — a six-seat $550 $2260 $2145 $1140 $595 $980 $6095 $1525 $2770

privy located near the building’s sole water supply.

Wherever possible, family members help recreate a real-life story with stories and inherited furnishings that are, in effect, returned to the home they once served. Although it can take years to gather enough information to re-occupy an apartment, it’s an approach that has made the Tenement Museum both a National Historic Landmark and a founding member of The International Coalition of Historic Site Museums of Conscience, a worldwide network that use a site’s history to explore contemporary social issues ranging from racism to genocide.

At the Tenement Museum, displays show how immigrants shaped the garment industry that seems to have changed little from one century to the next. The Lower East Side currently houses an estimated 500 garment factories, 80 per cent of which are owned by Chinese immigrants. Hence, history is shedding light on a very current issue.

MOTHER’S DAY

Handmade gift ideas for the perfect keepsake According to experts in the do-it-yourself crafting industry, you’ll make the most impact with your gift this Mother’s Day by offering Mom something handmade.

“Showing your love and appreciation for Mom doesn’t have to be expensive,” said Shelli Gardner, CEO and cofounder of crafting company Stampin’ Up!.

“The gift with the greatest impact, the one that shows you truly want your mom to feel special, is the one you make yourself.”

Recent survey findings published in an article from The Week magazine, “The Economics of Mother’s Day: By the Numbers,” seem to support Gardner’s opinion.

According to the study, 36 per cent of mothers surveyed preferred to receive handmade gifts, the highest percentage of all gift options given.

This is good news for the growing number of craft enthusiasts across the country who take great pleasure in showing their gratitude by making gifts for their mom with their own hands.

To make things a little easier, the following DIY Mother’s Day gift ideas from Stampin’ Up! will help you create treasured keepsakes for Mom on her special day.

• Build her a forever bouquet: For flowers that will last forever, create a sophisticated, stylish floral bouquet

with Stampin’ Up!’s build-abouquet project kit.

This kit includes a gift tag, cotton paper squares, die-cut cotton paper for assembling the flowers, die-cut images, cardstock pieces, cotton ribbon, linen thread, floral tape, floral stem wires and decorative buttons.

• A special scrapbook for mom: Collect special memories with your mom in a traditional scrapbook — or take advantage of the new, simple, time-saving solutions with the project life by Stampin’ Up! collection.

Project life makes memory keeping easy and fun with card collections, accessory packs, albums, photo

pocket pages, pens, and other accessories.

Warm her heart by making a timeline of all your treasured moments throughout the years.

• Create a customized card: Forego the predictable pre-printed Mother’s Day card in favour of a decorative handmade creation that can itself become a beautiful gift.

Select colour cardstock or designer series paper and themed stamps, then embellish with accents and ink spritzing to create just the desired colour and look.

More Mother’s Day gift ideas and tips can be found at stampinup.ca.

Mother’s Day is the one day each year when men, women and children across the country gather to honour the mothers in their lives.

Though it can be challenging to find new and unique ways to display your affection for mom on Mother’s Day, rest assured that sometimes the simplest concepts are the ones mothers most appreciate.

This year, look no further than the following ideas for some inspiration as you aim to make this Mother’s Day as special as possible for the mother or mothers in your life.

• Give the gift of sweet treats.

What better way to highlight mom’s sweetness than with some delicious treats made just for her?

Whether you decide to whip up some homemade confections in the kitchen or visit a nearby store for something decadent, mom will no doubt appreciate the chance to indulge on her big day.

• Make a meal to remember.

Mom deserves a night off from dinner detail and while dining out is an option, a homemade meal may come across as more intimate and heartfelt.

Thanks to kitchen appliances that make it easier than ever to prepare gourmet meals at home, you can now make restaurant-style meals in your kitchen without sacrificing restaurantquality taste.

While mom waits for dinner to be served, a soothing cup of tea can set the tone for a relaxing evening.

• Plan a Mother’s Day picnic.

Busy moms may look forward to a break from the bustle of daily routines.

An afternoon picnicking outdoors can be the ideal way to enjoy a special Mother’s Day. Plan an easy menu of foods that have portability.

A personal chef for mom

Your mom loves to have her family over for dinner.

What she doesn’t like is having to prepare everything all by herself, missing out on the chit-chat at the table because she’s in the kitchen plating her delicious meal.

But, on Mother’s Day, you could treat her to the best of both worlds.

With the services of a forhire personal chef, everyone can enjoy themselves

without mom having to lift a finger.

Unlike caterers, personal chefs come to where you are and prepare food onsite, right in your kitchen.

They also serve the food, and when they leave, your kitchen is as spotless as when they arrived.

What a treat for busy moms. As for the menu, options vary from one chef to another and may range from a cocktail party to a six-course meal.

In general, you can suggest a menu that suits your tastes or, in this case, your mother’s preferences.

Some chefs also provide the wine.

What about the cost?

Personal chefs charge for their time and travelling expenses, along with the costs of the food.

So, the total price for the meal depends on the menu and which services are provided.

If your mom loves to cook and is always eager for new recipes or expert advice, some chefs offer clients the opportunity to help them prepare the meal.

What a great way to pick up some valuable tips.

Whatever form it takes, your mother isn’t likely to forget the experience for a long time to come.

The perfect bouquet for her this Mother’s Day A bouquet of flowers is a classic gift that never goes out of fashion.

They’re beautiful, colourful and fragrant and they’re always appreciated by the recipient.

What sort of flowers will you be offering your amazing mom on Mother’s Day? Ideally, you should give your mom a bouquet of her favourite flowers, but maybe you don’t know which ones she likes best.

Don’t worry — there are a few general guidelines to help you choose.

Peonies symbolize

sincerity of feeling, lilies express both sweetness and purity and white orchids represent purity of love.

They are all popular for Mother’s Day, right alongside classic roses, the ultimate symbol of love.

You could choose a bouquet of only one kind of flower or a floral composition combining lilies with other varieties.

When choosing a colour scheme, opt for soft pastels such as pink and white.

If your mom prefers brighter colours, opt for a bouquet in shades of orange

or purple or for a bouquet of different coloured roses.

If you want to give a gift that lasts more than a few days (and your mother has a little bit of a green thumb), you can opt for a potted plant rather than cut flowers. Lilies and orchids, for example, are usually available in pots as well as in bouquets.

One last tip: Go to the florist’s early enough in the day to avoid the rush and have your pick of the choicest flowers.

Flower shops are always busy on Mother’s Day.

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

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