Ranchers running out of grass and water are responding to this summer’s drought by bringing cattle to market early, rather than betting that the weather will turn. More than double the number of cattle went through auction this week at the B.C. Livestock Producers Co-operative Association in Kamloops compared to the same week last year. “I’ve got some guys running out of pasture,” said auctioneer Wayne Jordan. “For others, drinking water for livestock is an issue.” The federal government announced measures this summer encouraging ranchers to reduce their cattle numbers in wake of the drought across Western Canada. The program also allows ranchers to move some of the resulting income to next year. Barriere rancher Ed Salle said the dry conditions are affecting all operations. “In our area of the North Thompson, it’s a little less dry. It’s a wait and see.” If conditions don’t improve, Salle said many ranchers will bring cattle to market early or choose not to hold animals over winter due to shortages of feed. “The problem is, you can’t find feed even if you have they money to buy it,” Salle said. Bringing cattle to market in summer rather than fall will result in lighter weight and, therefore, less revenue for ranchers. Offsetting that reality is prices that continue to climb. Jordan said prices given to ranchers by cattle buyers, who will send animals to Alberta feedlots and then to slaughterhouses, are up roughly 20 per setting year itself. cent over 2014 — a record record-setting “Prices are still strong,” Jordan said. “Strength in the U.S. dollar really helps.”

Sign vandalism has begun in Kamloops — less than two weeks into the federal election campaign. And, one candidate said she may have been sent an intimidating message in the form of an injured animal left in front of her campaign office. What appear to be professionally printed stickers with the Conservative party logo and the word “contempt” have been affixed to incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod’s signs in Sahali and on the North Shore. When KTW called her on Wednesday, McLeod said she hadn’t been out to see

the altered signs, but had been alerted and sent photos of the vandalism. “First of all, it’s a crime, she said. “If people have strong political feelings, they need to volunteer for the campaigns they believe in.” McLeod told KTW it’s not the only negative message sent her way in recent days. “We had an incident with a bird that looked like it has been hurt purposefully and put in front of my constituency office, I think as intimidation as well,” she said. McLeod said police will be given notice about both actions. She declined to speculate on where the stickers or the bird might have come from, again encourag-

ing those responsible to donate or volunteer with another campaign instead. “We live in a great country and part of our great country is we have a democratic, peaceful country,” McLeod said. “I don’t think vandalism of signs or attempts at intimidation are appropriate.” A spokesperson with Elections Canada said damaging a candidate’s signs would be considered a police matter, as with other acts of vandalism. Election law also prohibits removing a candidate’s campaign signs without permission, unless the person doing so is a local authority — a city worker, for example — removing a public safety hazard.

RECYCLING STRIKE SET TO COME TO AN END

Union, management reach agreement; Emterra workers were expected to approve deal last night ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops residents — get ready to wheel and drag your recyclables to the curb. An end is in sight for workers on strike at Emterra Environmental. The company’s 10 unionized workers were due last night (after KTW press deadline) to vote on an agreement that will see a wage increase of 22.5 per cent over the next four years. United Steelworkers Local 1-417 president Marty Gibbons said the union was recommend-

ing workers, who sort and process the city’s recyclables, accept the deal. He told KTW he was confident an agreement would be reached before the end of yesterday. The city has not picked up recycling from households or businesses since the strike began on June 22. It’s not yet clear if service will resume this morning should the deal go through. “We believe services should be able to return tomorrow [Friday] morning,” Gibbons said. “Whether the city

and the company want to arrange pickup, that’s really between them.” Mayor Peter Milobar said he was due to meet with city staff after KTW’s press deadline to decide when to resume pickup of recyclables. Collection could begin as early as today or at the start of next week. Milobar said the city will prepare for increased loads when the service resumes. “We know there’s going to be a lot of catch-up to make,” he said. “At the same time, we only have certain-

sized recycling bins, so it could just be a case of having there be full bins for the next couple of weeks, and at every single house, instead of what we normally have.” While some Kamloopsians have called for refunds of their recycling fees during the strike, Milobar said it remains to be seen whether any cash will flow back to residents. “We know there’s going to some costs incurred as we try to catch back up to things and, ultimately, it’s a self-funded utility based on people’s utility fees,” he said. “If there’s excess dollars there, that’s something council will have to look at.” Should there be

money left over, Milobar said council could look at a rate adjustment for recycling services or refunds.

Gibbons called the pay increases “phenomenal,” though they are lower than what the union had hoped to secure for its members,

EFFECT OF A SEPARATION ON SPOUSAL WILLS Have you and your spouse ever separated and then reconciled? If you answered “Yes”, then you may need to revise/update your Wills. In a typical spousal relationship, the husband and wife make Wills, appointing the other as Executor and bequeathing the estate to the surviving spouse. However, the law recently changed to say that separation invalidates/cancels the gift to the spouse and the appointment of the spouse as Executor. This is the case even if the spouses later reconcile and wish the gift to their spouse in their Will to still stand (unless there is evidence of a contrary intention in the Will).

While Plan B never went into effect, the recyclingservices contract between the City of Kamloops and Emterra Environmental shows there was a plan should a labour dispute disrupt service at the Valleyview plant where the company sorts and processes the city’s recycling. According to the contract between the city and Emterra, obtained by KTW through a Freedom of Information Request, Emterra was required to provide replacement facilities during “any type of labour dispute whatsoever, including, without limitation, any strike or lockout.” In case of a strike, Emterra was to process the city’s recyclables at another facility, paying any extra expenses associated with the move. “If the contractor is unable to so perform the work at alternate facilitates, the city shall be entitled to terminate

Should the City of Kamloops foot the bill for testing dust in Dallas that some residents believe contains biosolids? At least one city councillor thinks it should. Coun. Denis Walsh met with residents of Gateway Estates at an anti-biosolids rally earlier this week and said he wants to see council intervene on their behalf. “It’s a nuisance issue that’s no fault of theirs, other than living in the vicinity of an agricultural, biosolids plant,” he said. Residents have documented a series of dust storms, which they say are coming from a topsoil-producing site on the Blackwell Dairy farm, located on the cliffs above their homes. The topsoil site, operated by Arrow Trucking, uses Class A and B biosolids in its various soil mixes, which are then used on the farm property.

Gateway resident Del Corsi told KTW earlier this week he believes dust blowing onto his home contains those biosolids, noting the material is causing health problems. While residents had planned to send samples of the dust for testing at a lab in Burnaby, improper collection put that idea on hold. Walsh said testing is the logical next step to determine whether biosolids are playing a role. He said it would make sense for the city to ensure that is carried out. That could mean paying for the cost of the testing — similar tests for an anti-biosolids group in Merritt were a few thousand dollars — and working with the province and farm regulators to make sure sampling is carried out properly. After speaking with residents, Walsh said he believes Arrow’s biosolids operation is causing the dust issues below.

“From what I’ve seen and the amount of photos I’ve seen coming off that hillside, in all likelihood it does sound like it’s from the biosolids,” he said. “And, if it is biosolids and they are type B, which is what I’ve been told they’re dealing with up there, then it could be a concern to the residents down there at the bottom.” Class A biosolids are subject to more treatment than Class B, which may still contain some pathogens. Walsh wants to see council help the residents work with Arrow and the province to come up with “some way to make everybody happy.” He suggested moving Arrow’s operation farther from residences, a solution residents have also put forward. Coun. Donovan Cavers, who was also at Tuesday’s rally, did not respond to requests for comment from KTW. Council is due to discuss the issue at its meeting on Tuesday.

It may be a summer of soaring temperatures, but water use in the city of Kamloops is plummeting. “I’ve never seen numbers this low,” said Mike Firlotte, utility services manager. The city’s usage numbers have been dropping for years, but they have hit a new low this summer. “Over the weekend, we used 75-million litres,” Firlotte said. “It’s very rare that you see numbers into the 70s.” In August 2008, Firlotte said the city’s largest single-day water consumption was 138-million litres in 24 hours.

In 2013, it was about 120-million litres. In 2014, it was about 106-million litres. So far in August 2015, the high-usage mark is about 102-million litres in a day. Scorching days in June and July didn’t add much to those totals. Firlotte said peak water consumption for the entire summer has been 105-million litres in a single day. Firlotte noted the city has brought more homes into its water system as the numbers drop, including residences in Campbell Creek and Noble Creek. He attributes the drop in use to education and changing household habits — and to the city’s watermeter program. The drop in usage isn’t just encouraging from a conservation standpoint,

Firlotte said. It also means the city will spend fewer dollars on the water system over time, since growth-related expansions won’t be needed as soon or as often. “It does save the taxpayer a lot of money because we are able to defer projects,” he said. The number of water-related complaints fielded by the city bylaws department is also down from last year. Bylaw services supervisor John Ramsay reports officers have received 72 calls about people watering on the wrong day or at the wrong time, compared to 114 calls at this time last year. Water-wastage calls — in which a resident is watering the road rather than the lawn, for example — are up slightly, to 13 from nine.

Upholstery & Vent Cleaning

Insurer must pay in grow-op fire CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A B.C. Supreme Court Justice ruled an insurance company must pay out losses to a homeowner whose Westsyde house was burned in an arson following an RCMP raid on a marijuana grow operation. Wawanesa Insurance Co. denied benefits to the homeowner, Steven Michael Davidson, arguing he knew about a sizeable grow-op in the basement of his home. Davidson has a dated criminal record for forgery and possession of stolen property. He was working at the time of the raid and arson as a contractor setting up illegal grow operations in the 100 Mile House area. Davidson was on bail for assaulting his wife, charges that were later dropped, and was banned as part of a court order from being within 100 metres of his

Westsyde house, where she continued to live. Davidson argued that since he was working away from Kamloops and banned from being at the home, he did not know about the growop. While he did make a visit to his house, contrary to his bail order, Davidson testified he did not notice a basement door drywalled shut and painted over. Instead, in a rage, he smashed goods at the house he believed were stolen by his wife, Tammy Boucher. “This is a case close to the line,” Justice Shelley Fitzpatrick said in her ruling. “But, I accept the evidence of Mr. Davidson and find, as a fact, that he did not know of the grow operation or even the other activities relating to potentially stolen property or potentially illegal firearms over the relevant period of time leading up to the fire.”

Fitzpatrick ordered Wawanesa to pay Davidson, who represented himself at the trial, $215,000 for loss of the home and contents. The remaining amounts for the loss were paid to the bank that had a mortgage on the house at 4300 Westsyde Rd. When police raided the house in April 2010, they found a grow operation with more than 600 plants, property they believed was stolen and illegal firearms. One day later, the home was destroyed in an arson. Wawanesa originally argued Davidson was responsible for the arson, but later dropped that contention. The insurance company relied in part on wording in its policy that voids coverage in the event of marijuana production, whether or not the insured even knows about it. But, Fitzpatrick said,

there is no evidence the arson immediately following the raid had any relationship to the growop, despite the suspicious timing. The insurer also obtained video shot in March 2010, shown in court, of Davidson discussing a visit to his home. “Are you telling me she hasn’t got the basement fired up again?” an unidentified male asks Davidson in the video. “Not very well,” he replies. “F---ing very pathetic what I seen down there, I finally went in there, you know, she showed me a couple plants, brought them up to me, up, you know up to the door . . . you know, they look pretty good, but there’s not very many there . . . what the f---, not very many . . . Yeah, ha, I just got tired of the bullshit there, huh. So we agreed that she would be out in two months. “I told her at the end of May that should be

enough time to get her program finished, you know, get it up and running and finished, and then we, we’ll . . . and I’ll sell the F---ing house, get rid of it, get my headaches over, I get rid of her.” Davison argued “her program” referred to Boucher’s psychiatric program. Fitzpatrick said statements on the video could be backed by either the insurance company’s or Davidson’s story.

Victim ingested dirt before dying TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The skull of a man allegedly beaten to death by his nephew last summer resembled a jigsaw puzzle during his autopsy, a judge has been told. Shane Gyoba, 29, is standing trial on a charge of second-degree murder in connection to the death of his uncle, Ed Gyoba. The elder Gyoba died on June 2, 2014. Court has heard a witness saw Shane Gyoba beating his uncle with a shovel following a fist fight in the front yard of an Ashcroft home. Taking the stand in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops yesterday was

Dr. James Stephen, the pathologist who performed Gyoba’s autopsy two days after his death. Stephen said Gyoba died as a result of massive head injuries. “He died of head injuries suffered as a result of blunt-force trauma to the head,” Stephen said. “He had a number of injuries to the head. When we’re talking about the head injury, this is a very large injury of bruising to the right side of his scalp, which showed a large depressed skull fracture.” Stephen said he found eight areas of injury on Gyoba’s body, likely the result of more than six separate blows. He said the injuries were consistent with a

shovel or perhaps a shovel and an axe or a pipe. Stephen said he found five bone fragments and multiple fracture lines on the right side of Gyoba’s skull. “I found 10 or more pieces of this jigsaw-like skull fracture,” he said. “There are multiple fractures at the base of the skull and multiple fractures on the upper part of the globe on the skull.” Stephen said Gyoba’s mouth had been stuffed with dirt prior to his death. “There was abundant dirt in the mouth,” he said. “I believe there is good evidence he was

alive when the dirt was put in his mouth. “He swallowed some of the dirt. Dirt was found in his esophagus. He breathed some of the dirt. Dirt was found in his airways.” Stephen said he believed Gyoba was likely unconscious when he ingested the dirt. On Wednesday, Gyoba’s widow testified about how Shane Gyoba’s arrival in Ashcroft 15 years ago turned her life upside down. Barb Gyoba said she was eventually run out of her own home by her “domineering” nephew. The trial is expected to conclude next week.

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 Toronto Blue Jays, whose winning ways have not created such Major League Baseball excitement in Canada since the Montreal Expos’ path to World Series glory was derailed by the players’ strike in 1994. Toronto is riding an 11-game winning streak and this is the latest the club has been in first place on the American League East since 1993 — the last year Toronto won the World Series. NOT: The vandals who choose to target campaign signs and campaign offices in their bid to discredit candidates. Every election, be it municipal, provincial or federal, has its share of numbskulls who will knock over signs or spray paint a juvenile slogan or two across a billboard. But, someone in this federal election campaign is going the extra mile by creating publication-worthy clear stickers, with the word “corrupt” to affix to Conservative campaign signs. Conservative candidate Cathy McLeod also believes objects found outside her Seymour Street campaign office — an injured bird, a doll’s head, a jar of water — were left there to intimidate. Here’s an idea: leave the birds alone and find a polling booth on Oct. 19.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: Those at the City of Kamloops responsible for installing bike-repair stations in Riverside Park and at the main entrance to Kenna Cartwright Park. A pump, air and some tools is an inventive and welcome way to think about those who traverse the city on two wheels.

We still like bologna on white bread, now and then

he world spins ever so faster as technology takes hold and blasts us into situations that would have been pure science-fiction fantasy a mere generation ago. For my kids, the latest advancements are simply shrugged at; they never knew a world without the Internet, computers and smartphones. Want to stump them? Show them a typewriter or cassette tape or payphone. For my generation, one that will forever straddle the now (Internet age) and then (World Wide What?), well, Alan Jackson sums it up nicely: “There’s satellite communications, “Long distance Internet relations, “The world’s a little faster every day.” But, it’s the lines that follow that give me comfort: “But, I still like bologna, “On white bread, “Now and then . . .” What Jackson is singing in the infectious I Still Like Bologna — what many of us are feeling — is that, for all that is terrific about the technology of today, it is still nice to get back to basics once in a while, to eschew the bits and bytes and bunk down with simplicity. While I have little doubt e-readers will continue to threaten printed books even

MUSINGS as my shelves at home grow with actual pages, and while the future place of printed newspapers will continue to be challenged, I have no doubt such icons will always be with us. They will always be with us because we crave, deep down, what once was — even if what once was existed before we existed to crave what once was. It is why two endeavours in Kamloops this week — one set to be realized tomorrow and one still very much a spark of an idea at its absolute infancy — have captured the imagination of so many. Barnacle Records will open Saturday at 290 Third Ave. downtown, in the space vacated by Electrictree Yarns. As its name implies, Barnacle Records will be an old-fashioned record store, with new vinyl releases, just as my generation remembers in names like Sam The

Record Man, A&B Sound, A&A Records and HMV. Its arrival, along with established record sellers at Funny Pages Collectables, London Drugs, Penny Pinchers and others, means, at the very least, there remains a healthy appetite for the majestic artistry of the album and a sound not stripped of its character to the point of sterile perfection. On the flip side of the entertainment senses spectrum is Landon Muzio, who has started a threadbare campaign to bring the drive-in theatre experience back to Kamloops. Whether his dream succeeds remains to be seen. The odds are about as long as Ishtar being reconsidered for an Oscar, but that is not the point. The point is when Muzio’s quixotic drive-in ambition was first reported by KTW, the sheer number of readers cheering him on was, and remains, overwhelming. I’d bet most of them have big, high-definition, flatscreen TVs mounted on walls in state-of-the-art media rooms with instant access to the latest and greatest Hollywood has to offer. Sometimes, though, even those with ample access to caviar still like bologna on white bread, now and then. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CITY ARTS CENTRE LONG OVERDUE

PRICE GOUGING? YES, IT IS Editor: A barrel of crude oil yields about 80 litres of gasoline. This is roughly 50 cents per litre at today’s crude oil prices. Last year, crude cost twice as much as it does today, so it was approximately $1 in crude costs per litre. Prices per litre include taxes, profit, transport and refining. By my calculations, gas should cost 50 cents a litre less than it did a year ago. A year ago, gas cost about $1.40 a litre, so it should now be 90 cents a litre. The Aberdeen Petrocan was posting $1.36 per litre this week. Price gouging? I would say so. Glenn Dreger Kamloops

Editor: Kamloops musicians are well aware of the city’s desperate need for a good acoustic music concert hall. Sagebrush Theatre has intimidating acoustics for those on stage. In the nearly 30 years I have lived in Kamloops, the one major arts facility that has been lacking is a concert hall. As for the price tag, when we take off the amount already slated for a downtown parkade, the city has cost it out at under $50 million. This doesn’t buy much in large projects these days. I heard recently on the news that a four-kilometre section of the TransCanada Highway upgrade will cost between $400 and $600 million and

an upgrade on the Pattullo Bridge in New Westminster will run $200 million. The Royal Inland Hospital parkade and clinical-services building is an $80-million project and the hospital’s new surgical tower will be about $250 million. I am impressed with the homework done by city council in exploring the options for funding — both in construction and operational costs. Council examined the idea with caution and, with creative thinking, came up with an outstanding workable option. We have been assured every expense estimate is above actual expectations and funding sources are underestimated from the most

likely scenarios, so there is a high probability the city will be in a better financial situation than the proposal suggests. As Mayor Peter Milobar has said, try to imagine Kamloops without Interior Savings Centre, Tournament Capital Centre or Sagebrush Theatre. These are facilities that define the city. Foresight and intelligent vision moves a community forward. Entertainment and the arts employ more people than nearly any other sector and they are the most sought-after forms of activities for residents and tourists. I am enthusiastically voting “yes” to this project. Don Bennett Kamloops

VOTE WITH YOUR HEART AND HEAL SYSTEM Editor: I am a 26-year-old mother of two, a wife and a nurse. Other than the most recent provincial election, I never followed politics. I didn’t see a reason to put my energy into something I doubted I had any control over. It’s just me, one voice. Who could hear me? I was wrong. As a young Canadian, I know the thoughts my generation has and, as a mother, I know the thoughts all parents have:

“Why vote in a system that is broken?” “Why vote for the party I want if I know they won’t get into office?” “Why provide support for something that has nothing to do with me?” These thoughts are all valid and thoughts I am sure other generations of Canadians before us have had — and do still have. Even looking through social media, we can see people talking about splitting the vote and voting strategically. This is the problem

with how everyone views politics and elections. We shouldn’t be thinking about voting for the candidate most likely to oust the incumbent. We should be voting for the candidate and party who best represent what we value in Canada. We should all be voting for those who believe in issues we believe in. This may be Green, Liberal, NDP or Conservative — but, it needs to be who we want in Parliament. If Canadians would take this election to

change how they vote, if Canadians decided to put those they want in Parliament, we could finally have a government that best represents all of Canada, a government that best represents Canada’s citizens on a level the nation hasn’t seen in a long time. Vote for who you want. No vote is a wasted vote when you vote with your heart. The system may be broken, but we can fix it. Tyrae Dol Kamloops

BARNACLE RECORDS EMBRACES THE VINYL REVOLUTION JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

For Jessie Kobylanski and Ronan McGraph, Barnacle Records isn’t going back in time — it’s stepping forward. The couple, in their mid-20s, had been hosting various artistic events in the city, such as art-making at Zack’s coffee shop and pop-up LP sales on their porch, before deciding to open the new record store in downtown Kamloops. McGraph also volunteered for four years at CFBX, Thompson Rivers University’s campus radio station, co-hosting a show called The Frequent. “This is a natural progression for us, to finally open a storefront and engage with the public all the time,” Kobylanski told KTW. Barnacle Records, at 290 Third Ave. and formerly home to Electrictree Yarns, stages its grand opening tomorrow with snacks and refreshments. As well, local bands — Mr. Vacation, Lost in the Woods, River City Magic, Magic in the Woods, Lex Plexus and Subspace Janitors — will be playing from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The store will sell new and used records, cassettes, CDs, turntables and receivers. In the wake of digital music like Spotify and Apple Music, Kobylanski touts vinyl for its tangibility, artwork and sound. “It’s so easy to click a button,” Kobylanski said. “You drop that needle — it sounds so much better.” Kamloops is already home to stores selling new and used records, such as London Drugs, Funny Pages Collectables and Penny Pinchers. Back Porch Music operated in Barnacle’s location from 2003 to 2005. It sold CDs and records and

specialized in bluegrass and country. Kobylanski said records never went away, demand merely diminished with technological advancements. She thinks, however, that trend may be reaching the tipping point. “Our world of convenience is getting boring for some people,” Kobylansk said. The couple hopes to make Barnacle Records stand out by creating a social experience for buying music. That includes late-night hours and — though it may not be ready in time for opening day — a listening lounge. Kobylanski said renovations to the store include shelving and “opening the place up and making it a little more airy.” The listening space will include headphones, a record player and a comfy atmosphere for enjoying all things music, with Kobylanski likening it to “an in-store living room. “People can hang out really casually,” she said. They also plan to start a listening club. “Kind of like a book club,” Kobylanski said. If past success on their front porch is any indicator, the support is there. “Everybody has been just amazing,” Kobylanski said. “The response has been very reassuring.”

Reclaiming their Cowan Street Park for their kids’ kids DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Back in the 1960s, one of the Rotary clubs in Kamloops gathered at Cowan Street right where it curves into Seventh Avenue. There was a plot of land club members decided needed some recreational facilities, so they got to work — and, when they were done, some tennis courts had been built. The courts were busy through the years but, gradually, the Cowan Street Park stopped being the go-to place for recreation. A couple of tot parks in the area were best for the little ones and the older kids started to drift away. The park fell into some disrepair and off the agenda until four years ago, when the city announced it wanted to take that parcel of land and use it for social housing. The neighbours didn’t want to lose the park, but knew something had to

be done to “get it on the path of recovery,” said Carol Kennell. The Sage Neighbourhood Association was born and discussions began with the city to spruce up the park. The work continues, Kennell said, and she’s hopeful the community association’s second annual garage sale next month will help it raise money to move forward on some key initiatives. The courts have been resurfaced, painted and have new fences. There’s new turf at the park and water to keep the green growing. The city plans to install a water fountain, along with a couple of picnic tables and benches. Kennell, one of several on the association’s park committee, said the next step is to finish an asphalt trail around the ends of the park, something that began last year courtesy of a grant from FortisBC and work by BA Dawson Construction and Warner Rentals. The trail is seen as filling several needs, she added — creat-

ing a bike path for the children and a hurdle to help the grass resist weeds that might try to migrate over. It also is seen as a way to protect damage to the courts by bikes and strollers. It also serves as another reminder to the neighbourhood that the park is being revitalized. The committee wants to build a gazebo there. A pad has been installed, but the design and budget still need to be finalized. Kennell said while the work being done is good for the neighbourhood now, the goal is to ensure the park is sustainable “for our kids’ kids.” The garage sale is on Sept. 12 at the park from 9 a.m. to noon. The association is looking for artisans who want to have spaces — there’s a $10 charge for one — and items the group can sell. For larger items, pick-up can be arranged. For more information, email Kennell at carol.kennell@ gmail.com or south.shore.ca@gmail.com.

The Whistler Village Beer Festival, running this year from September 16-20, just keeps getting bigger and better. In fact, it’s a full-on keg of hop-filled good times offering four days of events, including Saturday and Sunday’s Main Event tastings, cask nights, seminars, paired dinners and parties.

In addition to all of our local crafts and favourite big-name brands, brews are coming from as far afield as Europe—and even some ciders are making an appearance this time around. The festival is always adding new events, including the “Bannock & Beer” event on Thursday put on by Whistler

Brewing Company and the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre, and the “Mountain Top Salmon Bake & Beer” on Friday, which adds an adrenalin pump with a Canadian Wilderness Adventures Jeep and ATV ride so guests can enjoy a cold one at 1500 metres. For those looking to brush up on their beer knowledge there is the seminar series on Friday, including Beer

101, History of Beer, Cider 101 and a Hops 101 session. If you are up for a culinary adventure, there are the “Brewers’ Luncheon” and “Barley & the Beast” events at the Grill & Vine at the Westin Resort and Spa, “Bricktoberfest” at Brickworks Public House and the “Deschutes Brewing Dinner” at Dubh Linn Gate pub. To finish it all off there is the Best in Fest Awards after-

party at the iconic Longhorn Saloon on Sunday night. This is a unique component of the Whistler Beer Festival, as the top three breweries will be awarded draught beer sales contracts for venues throughout Whistler. The Gibbons team, who have been operating entertainment venues in Whistler since 1979, puts on the festival. Rumour has it that they’ll be testing their very own beer this year—look out for their signature white and red branding and be part of their “test batch” approach, where they’re getting beer lovers to help them create the world’s perfect après lager.

APPS UNSURE ABOUT TEAM CANADA FUTURE MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

hree-time Olympic gold medallist Gillian Apps took a break from hockey after the Sochi Games and her return to the national team is in doubt. “Will I be playing next year in Kamloops? That is the milliondollar question,” said Apps, who is in town this week teaching the Future Stars Girls Ice Hockey Camp at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. “I don’t know yet. I’m just trying to figure all that out in the next few months. I think it’s just about taking a little bit more time, finding out how my body feels and that sort of thing.” Kamloops is the host city for the 2016 IIHF Women’s World Championship, which will run from March 28 to April 4 at McArthur and the Sandman Centre. Apps did not play for the Canadian team that was beaten 7-5 by the U.S. in this year’s world championship final on April 4 in Malmo, Sweden. The 31-year-old forward from North York, Ont., also missed out on Canada’s thrilling shootout victory over the Americans in the Four Nations Cup title tilt at Interior Savings Centre in November of 2014 — the thirdconsecutive come-from-behind 3-2 triumph for Canada in games against its neighbour to the south. “The world championship is our big tournament every year in the non-Olympic years,” said Apps, gold medallist at Turin 2006, Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014. “The competition is fierce. “The Americans are very, very good and the other countries are coming up.” Apps is the granddaughter of

the end of the day, it’s a great rivalry between Canada and the U.S. and there’s lots of respect there” Apps will not attend a Team Canada training camp in September. She will likely have to decide on her future with the national team before the Four Nations Cup, which runs from Nov. 4 to Nov. 8 in Sweden. Perhaps the prospect of one last world championship in front of a partisan crowd will be enough to bring her back to the Tournament Capital next year. “It’s always exciting to be the host country,” Apps said. “We always have a great crowd. “The Americans always come to play. If we take anything for granted, they’ll beat us.” Gillian Apps might not be in the Canadian lineup next year when the 2016 IIHF Women’s World Championship comes to Kamloops. She is teaching a Future Stars Girls Ice Hockey Camp in town this week.

late Canadian sporting legend Syl Apps, who played with the Toronto Maple Leafs from 1936 to 1948 — captaining the team from 1940 to 1942 — and was awarded the inaugural rookie-of-the-year Calder Trophy in 1937. Syl’s athletic prowess was not limited to hockey. He won gold in pole vault at the 1934 British Empire Games and placed sixth at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. They might be fellow Olympians and share incredible sporting genes, but it appears Gillian and Syl had differing styles of play, at least when it comes to physicality. The former Leaf posted no penalty minutes in the 1941-1942 season and was awarded the Lady

Byng Trophy, given to those who display sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct, combined with a high standard of fair play. There is no legal body checking in women’s hockey, but Apps has garnered a reputation for being an enforcer, especially among those in Stars and Stripes. “Apps is not afraid to muck it up and get in your face and try and intimidate,” retired U.S. defenceman Angela Ruggiero told nbcsports.com. “When you get a ref that doesn’t take control of the game, Apps will take control of the game.” During her tenure playing for the Brampton Thunder, Apps often led the Canadian Women’s Hockey League

in penalty minutes. Apps had 92 penalty minutes in the 2010-2011 campaign. The next-highest player had 52. In March of 2012, Brampton hosted the Boston Blades and Apps, who is six feet tall and weighs 180 pounds, ran into diminutive American defenceman Caitlin Cahow, who ended up with a concussion. Perhaps she takes more after her father, Syl Apps Jr., who compiled 311 penalty minutes in 727 NHL games. “In my younger years, maybe I was [an enforcer] but, as I got older, I think I tamed out a little bit,” she said with a laugh. “Some of our games have ended in a few penalties but, at

Kamloops Minor Hockey Association player Camryn Mitchell was among the 16 girls who are attending the Future Stars Camp this week. She was all smiles during a break from on-ice sessions yesterday. “It’s been really cool getting to meet her and sharing some of her thoughts on how she got up to her level,” said Mitchell, a defenceman. “You can only get better from where you’re at.” Mitchell attended two of Canada’s games at the 2014 Four Nations Cup. “It was really fun to see how well the hockey was played,” she said. “It inspires the girls that they can be just as good as the boys can.”

Thompson nearing final roster decisions ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Don Schulz has taken the first step in a process he hopes will change the culture of the Thompson Blazers. The B.C. Major Midget League (BCMML) hockey club held its summer evaluation camp on the weekend and had more than 80 players vying for spots on its roster for the 2015-2016 season. And, when the camp was over and the club had trimmed the group to 35, a few veterans were among those who didn’t make the cut. “We want to make it a lot more of a competitive nature,” Schulz said, outlining his vision as head coach of the Blazers. “For the ones that did play last year — of the ones we kept — they’ve bought in, which is a good thing. That’s going to be a continuing process and something they’ll have to get used to.” With its BCMML summer evaluation camp now in the books, Thompson breaks until the Labour Day weekend, when the club will host its final training camp and pare the roster by another 10 players. Between now and then, some players may elect to try out for other teams, including the Kamloops Storm of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. Schulz isn’t worried about competing for players with Kamloops’ junior B club, noting it’s something every BCMML team deals with. Throughout the selection process, the coach has emphasized the opportunity poten-

tial players would have with the Blazers — to be used as a top player in key situations. It’s a scenario that might not exist on junior rosters, he said, which are made up of older, more experienced players. He is banking on Thompson being viewed as a better developmental option. “We’ve said all along that we’re a junior-prep program,” Schulz said. “But, when we say junior-prep, the next step for us isn’t junior B — it’s junior A and major junior. That’s what our intention is.” Returning goaltender Aris Anagnostopoulos was among the leaders between the pipes on the weekend, Schulz said, and defenders Garrett Ewert, Jacob Boston and Adam Toor had strong weekends on the blue-line. Up front, Kamloopsborn forward and Medicine Hat Tigers draft pick Ryan Chyzowski continued to look strong, as did Tre Dupilka-Sales and Bryce McDonald. Schulz is hoping that core group of players will lead what would be one of the first competitive teams to don the Thompson jersey in franchise history. The club has just 66 wins in 360 games since 2006. It has never had a winning record. “I’ve said right from Day 1, it’s our intention to make the playoffs,” he said. “We’re certainly going to create a much more competitive environment and we want that to translate on to the ice and into the win column.”

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

There’s no disputing the Kamloops Storm will be young this season. But, maybe that’s not a bad thing. “We were young last year,” Storm general manager Barry Dewar told KTW. “We did have a good group of 20-yearolds, that helped. There are some guys that want to come play for us from other teams, so if we can make the deal for them, we’ll have that same thing this year.” The Storm open their training camp today and will have more than 60 players vying for spots on the club throughout the weekend. Youth didn’t hurt Kamloops in 20142015. Despite icing a roster that boasted little in the way of junior B experience, the club won its divisional crown and came within two victories of capturing the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League title. First-year players Keaton Gordon, Dexter Robinson, Cameron Trott and Brayden Dale were all among the team leaders in scoring, despite being 17-year-olds. While Gordon, Robinson and Trott will likely be moving on to junior A, Dale is expected to be one of three returning players this season, along with goaltender Jacob Mullen and forward Brett Watkinson. Watkinson, a centre who excelled on the penalty kill and in defensive situations in 2014-2015, found his scoring touch in

his third season in Kamloops, too, notching 38 points, including 11 goals, to rank third in team scoring. He’ll be a front-runner for the team’s captaincy in 2015-2016. Mullen, who started nearly every game for the Storm after he came to the club in a mid-season trade with the Grand Forks Border Bruins, should be a lock as the club’s regular netminder. After that trio, however, much is in the air. Dewar said the club is excited about the potential in a pair of 1999born defenceman in Austin Crossley and Kamloops native Sol Seibel. Up front, forward Kohl Comin (1997) and Jackson Lee (1998) will have a chance to impress. Lee will miss this weekend’s

camp as he tries out for the Korean National Team. Dallas Otto (1997), who saw time with the club as an affiliate last season, is expected to land a regular spot in the forward corps. So, while there will be plenty of turnover this season, the Storm still expect to ice a competitive group. A few players might be sent back from higher-level organizations at times throughout the season and there’s a good chance some new players will step up. “We’ve identified about 10 that we think will be part of the team,” Dewar said. “Hopefully, there’s a couple surprises in guys that are coming to camp and that we don’t know about.

Morgan Crandlemire split time between the pipes in the win. The WolfPack will take on the Glendale Community College Vasqueros today.

Jays ticket prices soaring RECORDS EXPECTED FOR SERIES WITH YANKEES JOHN CHIDLEY-HILL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays can feel the excitement in the stands and in the streets. Toronto is set to hit new highs in secondary market ticket sales for the season as the New York Yankees visit this weekend and the Blue Jays are excited to have all the attention. “I think I’ve fist bumped more strangers than I’ve ever fist bumped in my life,’’ said pitcher R.A. Dickey before yesterday’s game with the Oakland Athletics. “Today, I walked down from Air Canada Centre to Rogers Centre and I think I fist bumped four people this morning on the way to work that I’d never seen before in my life. “That kind of stuff is happening more and more.’’ Yesterday’s 4-2 win over the Athletics drew 46,902 fans, the team’s seventh full house of the season. Even still, the secondary market for tickets for the crucial weekend series with the Yankees has seen prices continue to climb. According to SeatGeek.com, a website that aggregates prices from other ticket resale brokers, all three games of the weekend series are more expensive than any other Blue Jays home game this season. Ticket sales on the secondary market have climbed in the past seven days as Toronto has reeled off 11 straight wins and taken over first place from New York in the American League East. The average cost to see Toronto ace David Price start against the Yankees on Friday climbed to $91 over the past week. The average price is $103 for tomorrow’s game and $87 for Sunday. Two weeks ago a ticket for Friday’s game in the upper bowl at Rogers Centre overlooking the outfield cost $13. That same ticket has now climbed to $56, meaning just to get in to the stadium the price has more than quadrupled since the beginning of August. The lowest price isn’t any cheaper tomorrow ($60) or Sunday ($58).

I think I’ve fist“bumped more

strangers than I’ve fist-bumped in my life.

”

— Blue Jays pitcher R.A. Dickey

“That comes with winning,’’ said Dickey. “People enjoy winning teams. Hopefully we can give these guys a good ride.’’ Previously the Blue Jays’ most expensive home game of the season was Price’s first start with Toronto on Aug. 3, when the average resale price was $60 a ticket. “I can definitely tell there’s a buzz,’’ said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. “We’re noticing the crowds we’ve had, of course. I get some comments on the street too. “Good comments,’’ he added with a laugh. SeatGeek.com estimates that $1.4 million has been spent on the secondary market for the three Yankees games combined. “In the sports business that’s how organizations make their living, with full houses,’’ said Gibbons. “So everyone’s feeling good right now.’’ Even though the Blue Jays have seen a swell of support since midJuly, the series average resale price of $71 is still below the average resale price of any Toronto Maple Leafs home game last year. However, the average ticket for a game to this weekend’s series is more expensive than 20 of the Toronto Raptors home games last season. “It makes a world of difference when you’re playing, y’know?’’ said Gibbons. “Smaller crowds, you hear everything. You hear all the cheap shots. You get a big crowd and it’s all kind of muffled. It’s more like a roar. “Players thrive on that, no question about it.’’

When the owner returned, they notice the camping gear had been

taken which included a tent, camp stove and fishing equipment. The owner can easily identify all of the camping gear. The female was described as Caucasian, blonde hair, 5 foot, 6 inches tall, and weighed 100 pounds.

Once inside the suspects searched the office and took an Acer lap top and a 50 inch Toshiba TV, the direction of travel was unknown. This TV is quiet large and would have taken two

people to carry it, it is very possible this TV was taken to a nearby vehicle.

Anna Relkov

Our dear, generous and thoughtful mother passed away at the age of 93 on August 8th, 2015. She was predeceased by her sister Joyce, husband Les, and grandson Michael, and survived by Rosanna (Joe), Mike (Linda) and Jim (Diane), eight grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren. Born in England, Ethel, Les, and family, including her mother Annie, immigrated to Kamloops in 1966. They eventually opened Paragon Flooring on Tranquille Rd. In her 50’s, she discovered golf at KGCC, which she loved. She was known for talking throughout her swing, and often played 27 holes on Tuesday to support both Ladies Days. For many years mom and dad enjoyed winters in Indio. Favourite activities were ballroom dancing and singing. After 19 years at Cottonwood Manor, Mom’s last two years were spent at Gemstone Care Facility. Her big smile will be missed by friends and staff there, and by all of us. By her wishes, there will be no service. Memorial donations may be made to BC Children’s Hospital in Ethel’s name. Arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services 250-554-2324 Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

April 1, 1956 - August 5, 2015 Anna Relkov (née Di Leta) passed away peacefully on August 5, 2015, after a courageous battle with cancer. She is survived by her husband of thirty-six years, Walter, and her two daughters, Cristina and Tonia. Anna is lovingly remembered by her family – her mother, Giulia, siblings, Aldo and Mary, her many cousins, nieces, nephews, and her extended family and friends. Anna’s hometown is Prince Rupert, BC, where her parents immigrated from Cassino, Italy. She grew up surrounded by many dear family and friends in a tight-knit community. Throughout her life, Anna spoke fondly of living on the north coast with the rain, the fish and the friendly people. She also met her husband in Prince Rupert and after their wedding in 1979 they soon found themselves living all over BC. Anna, Wally, and their two young daughters settled in Kamloops in 1993. Soon after, she started working at the library and eventually became the TNRD library system booker. It was the perfect fit for her love of books and her immense organizational skills. Her co-workers knew her as a caring and thoughtful individual who always provided quiet support no matter the situation. She was also a terrific baker and crafter who loved to share her latest creations. She loved taking trips to Italy, and considered it the best place for a vacation. We will always remember the wonderful times we spent as a family soaking up the sun on the Amalfi Coast and hunting for the best slice of pizza. Mom, we’re going to miss your hilarious jokes and your steady presence in our life, and we’ll always be grateful for everything you taught us. Her family would like to thank the nurses, doctors, and staff at Royal Inland Hospital as well as at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to the BC Cancer Foundation

Ira Asa (Bud) Crowder July 29th, 1922 – August 4th, 2015 Bud was born the youngest of four boys to Lucien and Verdie Crowder, on July 29th, 1922, in Gravelbourg, SK. He enjoyed an active and happy childhood quickly becoming known as “Little Buddy” to his mother and family. The name stuck and he became Bud to all who knew him throughout his life. His family moved to BC. just before the Second War and Dad joined the Canadian Air Force. He spent his war service as an airplane mechanic in Dauphin, Manitoba. Years later he would be recognized as the kid who played the piano in the officers’ mess. After the war Dad moved to Kamloops. He was employed by the Kamloops Post Office where he worked for 30 years. Dad was first and foremost a family man. He reconnected with his childhood sweetheart Janet Thomson and they were married in June of 1947. They soon had a son Tim, and built a house on West Battle St. in 1951 where they lived for 50 years, building up a beautiful garden and enjoying a simple life. Dad was a talented piano player. He played the popular music of his time in every community hall in the Kamloops area with the “Silver Strings Orchestra”. Dad was a loving husband to Janet. He was a kind father to his Tim. I am forever grateful. He was a terrific Grandpa to his grandkids. He enjoyed playing with them and was always concerned with their well being. After his retirement Dad and Mom did plenty of camping and traveling. Their special place was Scotch Creek. They also traveled to Hawaii several times and to Mexico. Dad’s lifelong romance with Janet ended with Mom’s passing in 2008. Dad never regained the happiness he had known. Dad passed away August 4th, 2015, a much loved and respected man. “I am tired and want to go” he told me. He died with his family by his side.

The Ship

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is on object of beauty & strength & I stand & watch her, until at length, she is only a speck of white cloud just wheret he seas & sky meet and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!” Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination. Her diminished size is in me, not her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone, there are other eyes watching for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes!”. Henry Van Dyke

 Obituaries & In Memoriam  August (Gus) Schrauwen

William A. Delaney

August (Gus) Schrauwen of Kamloops, BC, passed away peacefully in Royal Inland Hospital on Wednesday, August 12, 2015 at 87 years of age. Born September 8, 1927, Gus was the last member of the original Schrauwen family that homesteaded on Dairy Road, Westsyde, BC in 1926, producing potatoes, apples and grains. The family purchased the Manson Ranch near Jamieson Creek in 1943, clearing the land and building their home and farm with a family operated sawmill. Operating as Dutch Dairy Farms, the family started a milk operation on the Manson Ranch in 1950 and a piece of BC history began. Gus’s family expanded to a dairy bar and distribution centre on Tranquille Road in 1953. So many stories he told about delivering milk bottles to the Kamloops city residents, bulk to local restaurants, stores in Cache Creek, Clinton and Williams Lake. Expanding further in 1961, three of his siblings (Adrian, Nick, Marie) moved to Armstrong and began production of milk, butter, ice cream, cottage cheese and Armstrong Cheese (still on the shelves today). Later Marie and family moved back to Kamloops and owned and operated Gerry`s Emporium in Westsyde, while Nick and family headed to White Rock to own and operate Campbell River Store. Adrian and family stayed on in Armstrong and Vernon to pursue further ventures in the north Okanagan. When his oldest brother Peter and family moved to Bashaw, AB in 1966 to further expand the Armstrong Cheese and Dutch Dairy brands, Gus, his family and his parents remained in Kamloops managing dairy distribution. The home ranch in Westsyde, a beef operation, was his work in progress; he loved the animals and the outdoors. He took his pilot’s license and had a love of flying. Gus took sole ownership of the home ranch in 1972, retiring in 1993. During his career, he purchased the neighbouring Jackson Ranch, installed a state-of-the-art 1470 foot pivot irrigation system and maintained a 350 cow/calf operation with range permit on Jamieson Creek. In 1980, he started a successful feed lot, feeding up to 5000 head annually, utilizing the feed from the 2 ranches. Cattle were brought in from BC, AB, and from as far away as Hawaii. Predeceased by his parents, Constance (Stan) and Dimphna (Dina), brothers Peter, Adrian and Nick, and his only sister Marie. Gus is survived by his loving wife of 32 years, Gillian (Jill), children Carol (David), Janet (Jim), Ann (Bob), Ted (Jennifer) and their families, eight grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and their families.

Q: Is cremation really cheaper than burying the body?

Q: Why do I need to bring the birth certificate?

Your Cremation Expert

A: Cremation is generally less expensive, mostly because cemeteries charge more for body burial than for urn burial. The price at our funeral home is about the same for a graveside service as for a celebration of life. We’ll be glad to give details without pressure or obligation. Call us or drop by.

She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side. In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right. In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.

Gambling our heavenly treasures away

o, another big-box casino will soon open its doors in Kamloops. And, compared to the existing one, it promises to be much bigger and “better.” Though gambling is one of the more serious problems to hit our society, the church is strangely silent on the issue. In the media, we are told compulsive gambling has reached epidemic proportions in society. Provincial lotteries are on a gambling frenzy like never before. In nearly every province, barriers against legalized gambling have fallen, one after another. One magazine stated unequivocally that “gambling is the No. 1 desire of our nation.” In one form or another, gambling has become a daily

NARYAN MITRA

FAITH

routine for literally tens of thousands of Canadians. It is pathetic to witness onlookers staring at the electronic boards yearning for favours from Lady Luck. Those most easily victimized are millions of new gamblers who cannot control their desire to whittle away their meagre resources and, sometimes, entire earnings. It is interesting that even Christians, who want to side with gam-

bling pursuits, refer to the Bible’s use of “casting the lot” as their progambling justification. No doubt the above phrase is in the Bible, but it has to do with decision-making and not serious gambling (e.g. Proverbs 16:33; John 19:23,24; Acts 1:2126 etc.). In other words, human methods for determining matters must be understood in light of the sovereignty of God. So, what does the Bible really say about gambling? Below are some hints of its nature and practice: • Gambling contributes to a person’s lack of contentment (1 Timothy 6:6-8). The Bible states godliness with contentment is great gain but gambling feeds on greed which is opposed to contentment (e.g. Proverbs 15:16). • Gambling causes

a person to fall into temptation and carnal desire (1 Tim. 6:9). Again, the word of God tells us “those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction.” Anyone who has ever promoted gambling knows it is fuelled by a desire to get rich quick, which leads to other temptations later on. • Gambling conditions a person to accept and tolerate sinful attitudes and actions (1 Timothy 6:10). The Bible tells us “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” Those who have been involved in illegal gambling have confirmed any kind of gambling does something to a person that makes them more receptive to other things that

involve compromise. • Gambling changes a person’s commitment to spiritual things (1 Timothy 6:10). In the above passage, Apostle Paul condemned some who “have strayed from the faith in their greediness.” Gradually, we become dominated by our desire to be rich and to get ahead in life, whereas we are to flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience and gentleness. • Gambling contradicts spiritual qualities that a godly person should pursue (1 Timothy 6:11). Proverbs 10:2 reveals treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.” The church needs those who are willing to forsake the world and its empty dreams and

to seek more of God and His son Jesus. • Gambling controls our heart and our system of values (Matthew 6:19-24). Jesus said that where our treasure is, there our hearts will be also. Instead of regularly putting away money down on lottery tickets, let us use that resource for the Lord’s purposes and in His work. Can we imagine what cause of the gospel would experience if just a fraction of what is spent on lottery tickets was spent on spreading the gospel message? • Gambling could characterize us as guilty of covetousness (Exodus 20:17; Ephesians 5:5; Colossians 3:5). This is the worst accusation against practising gamblers. The Bible repeatedly calls covetousness as sin. It even equates it with idolatry. Why?

Because a covetous person worships wealth and things as opposed to God. Covetousness is a characteristic that should not even be named among believers. Yet, we believers stand still while lotteries and legalized gambling promote and capitalize on that same sin of covetousness. Gambling is a clear violation of God’s moral and righteous standards and has no place in a believer’s life in any form. mitraryan225 @yahoo.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

Doing Life Together!

Editor: Faith columnist Chris Kempling begins his Aug. 7 column (‘Lip service, nominal association won’t cut it’) with the Old Testament story of King David’s affair with Bathsheba, her resultant pregnancy and his attempt to cover matters up that culminated in arranging the death of her husband. Despite King David’s reprehensible behaviour, Kempling refers to him as “Israel’s greatest king and a man after God’s own heart.” (One shudders at the thought of what the other kings must have been like, as one must also question God’s choice of proteges.) Nathan, a prophet at the time, publicly pointed out King David’s wrongdoings, and Kempling wonders who will “rebuke King Stephen [Harper] on his failure to protect innocent life, his abandonment of the sanctity of traditional marriage.” Kempling is obviously referring to

abortion and same-sex marriage. Kempling points out Harper is a member of an evangelical Christian church in which “those who blatantly flout the moral values of the church will face discipline.” The attempt to draw a parallel between an apparently godendorsed ancient king and a prime minister is simply inappropriate and non-instructive. While Harper might at times enjoy exercising the prerogatives of an autocratic monarch, the fact is he is the leader of a democratically elected government. The citizens of Canada come from a wide variety of backgrounds, cultures, races, languages and religions. Respect for the values and beliefs of others is a vital tenet of our democracy and effective governance of a country such of ours requires wisdom and balance as we grow our society together.

Kempling’s assertion that a leader’s “reason, principles, conscience, freedom or his virtue” should be trumped by “obedient and responsible action in faith and in exclusive allegiance to God” is indeed frightening and, in my view, irresponsible. This position essentially describes a theocracy — past and recent examples of that type of governance tell us it does not work out well, particularly for those who value freedom from religion. To suggest our prime minister should work toward imposing the beliefs of his particular religious denomination on all Canadians is outrageous. To his credit, Harper does not appear to have embarked on such a quest of religious zealotry. That will not likely change with Kempling’s rather selfrighteous emulation of the biblical Nathan. J.R.

ur jeep is stationary and I’m marvelling at the scenery when I feel someone gently nuzzling my back. Turning slowly I find myself eye to eye with an adult zebra whose broad smile displays a set of large, yellow teeth. His message is clear: “Corn, please, ma’am.” This being the Global Wildlife Center in Folsom, La., the zebra knows only too well that private jeep tours like ours are well stocked with one of his favorite treats — dried corn. I fill my plastic cup and pour corn directly into his gaping mouth, watching as my new friend guzzles the food in seconds. The largest freeroaming wildlife park in the country, the Global Wildlife Center’s 900 acres are filled with 30 species of very tame herbivores and omnivores from all over the world. There are Somalian giraffe, Chinese Father David deer, South American rhea birds, African eland and zebra, Australian kangaroos, Indian black buck and at least 1,000 fallow deer.

We’d crossed the 24-mile Causeway from New Orleans to St. Tammamy Parish a few days earlier, intent on exploring Louisiana’s North Shore.

Swamp had attached a white marshmallow to the end of a stick and was dangling it off the end of our boat. Within seconds we were in the company of an alligator — a small one, but a reptile whose larger relatives weren’t far away. “They think these are turtle eggs,” explained the captain of the Pearl River EcoTour excursion. The two-hour tour takes us deep into the swamp and we putter gently through some of its narrow channels, examining the plant life. Bald cypress trees point their skinny knees out of the water

while Spanish moss hangs like thick, ghostly white hair from their branches. The captain pulls closer to the bank to peer at unusually large tracks in the mud. “I have no idea who or what made these prints,” he says, shaking his head. “I’ve also been out here at night and heard sounds I can’t identify.

Warrant shuts down Drought forces Vancouver pot shop fishing closures KOOTENAYS

VICTORIA — High water temperatures and low flows have led to fishing closures in British Columbia’s south Kootenays. The province says angling has been suspended for a month across the area south of Nelson, from below Lower Arrow Lake in the west to the Kootenay River east of Cranbrook. The closures start Saturday and are in effect until Sept. 15 to protect fish stocks from the ongoing dry conditions. In addition, six creeks, including Michel Creek, Lizard Creek and Morrissey Creek and their tributaries will not be open to fishing in the east Kootenay. The Columbia River from the Hugh Keenleyside Dam to the Washington state border and the Kootenay River from Brilliant Dam to the confluence of the Columbia are exempt.

VANCOUVER — Police have moved in to shut down an illegal Vancouver marijuana store that investigators allege has links to organized crime. Sgt. Randy Fincham said officers raided the Limelife Society store in east Vancouver on Wednesday night. He said one employee was arrested and released at the scene

and evidence has been seized to help with the ongoing investigation. Members of the Vancouver Police drug unit have watched the store for about a month, following complaints that it may be linked to organized crime. Fincham said officers quickly determined the outlet was selling to youth and

people without valid medical marijuana licenses. To date, 11 warrants have been served on suspected illegal marijuana stores across Vancouver and Fincham says the VPD remains focused on stopping violent drug traffickers and those who jeopardize the safety of young or vulnerable residents.

NATIONAL NEWS

Key Conservatives were in the Duffy loop, trial hears JENNIFER DITCHBURN KRISTY KIRKUP

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Top members of Stephen Harper’s campaign team, including the most senior staffer currently in the Prime Minister’s Office, were among those who knew in 2013 that Sen. Mike Duffy didn’t pay back his own contested expenses. But, the circle of key advisers kept their lips sealed, even as cabinet ministers told the House of Commons that Duffy had “shown leadership,’’ or that chief of staff Nigel Wright “was the only one involved.’’ Ray Novak, Harper’s current chief of staff, had been told his predecessor, Nigel Wright, was preparing to repay $90,000 in Duffy’s Senate claims. Among Harper’s aides, Novak is the longest-serving and closest to him personally. “I think her approach works,’’ Wright wrote to Novak and PMO lawyer Benjamin Perrin on March 23, 2013, about a conversation with Duffy’s counsel. “I will send my cheque on Monday.’’ The email was filed as evidence in court yesterday during Wright’s second day of testimony at Duffy’s trial. The suspended senator has pleaded not guilty to 31 counts of breach of trust, fraud and bribery. Duffy’s lawyer, Donald Bayne, launched into a methodical examination of Wright’s statements to police, as well as emails that he exchanged with Duffy and others in Harper’s office and the Senate. There were some prickly exchanges between Bayne and Wright as each betrayed moments of frustration or irritation. Bayne is trying to emphasize that it was Wright and his team — not Duffy — who devised the scheme to have the senator say publicly that he had mistakenly claimed living expenses for his

Ottawa-area home. He honed in on language that Wright had previously used, such as “pressuring,’’ “forcing,’’ or “browbeat,’’ to make the case that Duffy was not the instigator of any bribery or any fraud on the government. “I was persistent and eventually he agreed,’’ Wright said of getting Duffy to tell the public he had repaid his expenses. “What you call agreement, I would suggest, sir, is capitulation. It’s not agreement when you have to force someone to do something,’’ Bayne retorted. The emails introduced by Bayne also contain more indications of just how wide a circle of key aides were in the loop about the plan to have someone else repay Duffy’s expenses, in exchange for him telling the public he had done it. Novak, who is cur-

rently travelling alongside Harper, did not respond to a request for comment made through spokesman Kory Teneycke. PMO lawyer Benjamin Perrin was one of the figures most actively involved in striking an agreement with Duffy and his then-lawyer Janice Payne that would see him publicly say he had repaid his expenses. Current party lawyer Arthur Hamilton also dealt with Payne. “Perrin could not tell me about funds and agreed I should ask you about the status of funds,’’ Payne wrote to Hamilton on March 21, 2015, four days before Wright drafted his cheque. The party had also paid for Payne’s legal fees. Stephen Lecce, a member of Harper’s campaign war room and the deputy communications director

at PMO, helped put together the media lines around Duffy’s supposed repayment. Lecce had been copied on scenarios that outlined the party might be prepared to pay Duffy’s expenses, which had originally been estimated at $32,000. “The party is open to keeping Sen. Duffy whole since it is clear that any overpayments were innocently received,’’ reads an email from Wright on Feb. 21. “I have a call into the party to confirm this as I think that the senator has a right to have it confirmed.’’ David van Hemmen, a senior staffer inside Finance Minister Joe Oliver’s office, was aware of Wright’s payment as his then-assistant in PMO. “I have a cheque to deliver to you on behalf of Mr. Wright,’’ van Hemmen wrote to

LEGENDARY REUNION A ‘WONDERFUL THING’ JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

arney Bentall has seen changes to the music industry since he began in the 1980s. Back then, Canadian bands weren’t emerging out of places like Kamloops — they were mostly born out of Vancouver or Toronto — and there weren’t many that did make it, with musicians competing head to head almost like “playoffs,” Bentall said, to land a record deal. But, then again, once you did, “it was fairly easy to get quite well known. “I still benefit from that because I can go play and tour.” Bentall has put out three solo records in the last six years and, at age 59, said there is no end in sight. “Not until they make me shuffle off,” he said. He’ll be at Sun Peaks with his band, the Legendary Hearts, on Friday, Aug. 28 as part of the resort’s annual free summer concert series.

While Bentall has his hand in several acts these days — including performing with his son, Dustin — because he enjoys the variety, he’ll play a few shows with the old crew this summer. They all have their own lives and careers now, with Bentall the only one who remains playing music full-time. But, whenever they get together “it’s a wonderful thing.” “We went to the trenches together,” Bentall said with a laugh. “We have something very special. Whenever we get together, it’s still there.” He’s working on new music, too, but spends about a third of the year at his ranch in the Cariboo, which he has owned for about 20 years. It’s where KTW reached him for a phone interview. “We’re just haying right now,” he said. He owns about a quarter section, though he used to have a lot more, he said. “This is enough,” he said. “People always seem to want more. This is all I need. This is fine.” Bentall performed at Sun

WORD SCRAMBLE

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

We will not match competitors’ “multi-buys” (eg. 2 for $4), “spend x get x”, “Free”, “clearance”, discounts obtained through loyalty programs, or offers related to our third party operations (post office, gas bars, dry cleaners etc.). We reserve the right to cancel or change the terms of this program at any time. Customer Relations: 1-866-999-9890.
