THE FACTS ON BREAST CANCER

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Rae Fawcett often paddles with local dragon boaters. And, while the sport is not exclusive to them, many of the boaters have had breast cancer. On Thursday, Fawcett formalized her own support for these women and many more like them as she donated $1 million to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, money to be used for the new rapid access breast health clinic that will open later this year in the new clinical-services building fronting Columbia Street. It is the single-largest donation ever received by the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation. Part of the money will also go toward a simulation room at the hospital, a place hospital administrator Carol Laberge said will have specialized dolls that can talk, cry “and even deliver babies,” all available to help teach new procedures to medical staff and UBC medical students who will also be in the building. Fawcett said that part of her donation has special meaning to her family.

• On average, 135 women in the Thompson-Nicola region are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. • Provincially, there were an estimated 3,400 new cases last year. • Nationally, it is estimated 25,000 women and 220 men were diagnosed with breast cancer last year, an average of 68 diagnoses every day. • One in nine Canadian women are expected to develop breast cancer.

Her youngest son was born with a congenital heart defect and, with no simulation clinics available then, doctors at Vancouver General Hospital asked the Fawcetts if they could bring other doctors in to learn from their son’s condition. Breast cancer has also touched the family, she told the group gathered at the hospital on Thursday for the formal announcement. Her mother-in-law was diagnosed with the disease years ago and had to leave her home in Prince George and travel to Vancouver for surgery and chemotherapy. “So I’m glad to see it’s all changed,” Fawcett said. The clinic will speed up the timeline from

mammography to diagnosis, said Dr. Liz Ewart. Today, a person with a lump in their breast — a condition not exclusive to women — faces a wait of three to 12 weeks for a diagnosis, a time that is “frightening and frustrating,” Ewart said. The new clinic will be able to do a mammogram and, if necessary and ultrasound and biopsy, on the same day. It means fewer trips to the hospital for those who live outside Kamloops. With a doctor and nurse available, it provides needed medical care for those who do not have a general practitioner. And, Ewart said, with less time spent waiting and more immediate access to breast-health services, potential cancers should be caught at early stages. The clinic has been a goal for Dr. Robert Colistro, who started researching models about three years ago. With the co-ordinated care, he saw the potential to speed up the diagnosis and make the patient’s medical journey less stressful. Royal Inland Foundation board president Al Gozda said the clinic’s potential is “a huge, huge step forward” and praised Fawcett for her donation, noting she had made it to also inspire others to support the clinic.

City man seeking Métis Nation presidency CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The instructor at the RCMP depot in Regina who led recruits through the museum called their attention to strands from the noose that hanged Louis Riel. He called the Métis leader, executed in 1885, a traitor. But to young recruit Dean Gladue, who was raised at a Métis settlement outside Chetwynd,

Riel was a hero who led his people against a Canadian government encroaching on Métis lands. That identity as a Métis person and cultural ties are what Gladue is promoting as he runs to become president of the Métis Nation of B.C., a position that carries more importance since a Supreme Court of Canada decision this year that found Métis are Indians under the Constitution.

Gladue retired from the RCMP late last year. After nearly a year of travel, he is running to lead a disparate group of people around the province who identify with Riel and the founding of Canada by people of mixed aboriginal and European heritage. There are 14,000 people in B.C. who are registered as Métis. But just a tiny fraction of them, like Gladue, were raised by parents and grandparents who identified them-

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Former Mountie Dean Gladue said Métis in B.C. need to reconnect with their grassroots.

selves as Métis. Gladue grew up in the Moccasin Flats community in Northeastern B.C., on land where his parents — people he calls nomadic Métis — squatted without running water. Today his childhood home has become little different from any rural settlement in B.C. There is one Métis community, at Kelly Lake, where about 200 people live. That makes leadership of Métis in this province a challenge compared to the Prairie provinces, where traditional communities continue to exist. Gladue acknowledged the Supreme Court of Canada decision that recognizes Metis people as “Indian” has raised expectations. His cousin, for example, called Gladue to ask: “How can we hunt, now we’re Indian?” The decision, however, does not grant rights akin to those of status Indians who are members of bands. It does give the promise of future land settlements in traditional homelands. “We fully got recognition as a people in Canada — that’s more important than anything,” Gladue said. He is running in the September election for president, thus far against Clara Morin-Dal Coln and Annette Maurice, both current directors. The new president will replace Bruce Dumont, who has led the group for more than a decade. The retired Mountie is making his first foray into politics. “There’s a lot of disgruntled people out there,” Gladue said.

Who are the Métis? A Swedish man and a Haida Gwaii woman have a child. Is he or she Métis? Any Canadian who goes back a few generations has a story about a First Nations ancestor. Does that make them Métis? “No” and “probably not” are the answers. While few Métis people have the powerful identity that Dean Gladue can trace, the man running for president of the Métis Nation of B.C. said Métis heritage comes from self-identity — raised with

knowledge from parents, for example — and ability to trace lineage to a traditional Métis community in Canada. Finally, identifying with traditional symbols like the sash is also important, as is gathering socially with other Métis. “There’s a connection to the homeland and communities throughout Canada,” Gladue said. “I wake up every day knowing what the sash means, what the land means, what the Michif language means.” There are about 14,000 people in B.C. registered with the Métis Nation of B.C.

“I came in with a neutral eye.” While he grew up in northern B.C., Dean has another connection to Kamloops outside his work with

the RCMP. He played a single game for the Kamloops Junior Oilers in 1981, before moving to Alberta, where he skated with the all-native Hobbema Hawks.

Gladue has been touring B.C. since the spring. “I believe we’ve lost touch with the grassroots. We need to reconnect and make them part of the local community.”

PAYING TOO MUCH CHILD SUPPORT? Child Support: money paid by one parent to the other to help defray the expenses with raising children. The amount of child support payable is generally ﬁxed according to the Government’s Child Support Guideline tables which link the number of children to the payer’s income. These tables provide speciﬁc support payment calculations for gross annual incomes up to $150,000 and calculate amounts for incomes over $150,000.

FIND OUT WHAT’S FAIR AND RIGHT FOR YOU Payors with high incomes may feel that these formulas result in extremely large child support payments which exceed what is reasonably necessary to meet a child’s expenses. Child Support Guidelines allow Courts limited discretion where there is clear and compelling evidence to make a child support award diﬀerent than that generated by the formulas. If you believe your income is resulting in higher than appropriate child support payments, contact John Grover, who can advise you on this matter.

his Sunday was supposed to be Ila Watson’s 42nd wedding anniversary. Instead of spending it with her elementary crush turned longtime spouse, she’ll be with her son — knowing legal proceedings for the man accused of taking her husband’s life begin the following morning. Brian Watson was killed in a two-vehicle collision in Magna Bay on April 3. The 60-yearold Kamloops-Thompson school district employee was struck by a pickup truck from behind while on one of his first motorcycle rides of the season. According to police, the driver of the truck fled the scene. Raymond Edward Swann, 55, is facing charges of criminal negligence causing death and failure to stop at an accident. He is slated to make his first appearance in Kamloops provincial court on Monday. Based on evidence at the scene, Watson said, police initially thought her husband had been the victim of a murder. “They said it looked deliberate,” she told KTW, wiping tears with a tissue. “They came to the house and said, ‘Does Brian have any enemies? Was he dealing drugs?’”

Far from it, Watson said. Her husband was a painter for the school district, interacting with students and staff at Kamloopsarea schools while keeping facilities looking spiffy. “His co-workers said every time Brian walked in, he put smiles on their faces,” Watson said. “Brian just lit up the room.” Watson would know. She’s been in rooms with Brian since they were both six years old. “We went to school together in Grade 1,” she said. “We started dating at 15. We got married young, at 18.” The two grew up in a rural community in eastern Ontario, near the Quebec border. Watson said she knew there was something there when she was 11. “We were in Grade 6, I think,” she said. “You know how kids just kind of choose each other around the school ground? That was us.”

We were in “Grade 6, I think. You know how kids just kind of choose each other on the school ground? That was us.

”

— ILA WATSON

They married in 1974, moved to Manitoba the next year and then followed family to B.C. a few years later. The Watsons eventually settled in Chase. They had four children and, to this point, have six grandkids. Watson said her husband’s sudden death has been devastating for the entire family. “It’s just been a nightmare,” she said. “And my kids are just so heartbroken. It’s just been terrible. They were so close to their dad.” Watson said April 3 started out like any other Sunday. Her husband had just licensed his motorcycle and was eager to get it out on the road. She had to travel from Chase to Kamloops to exchange a light fixture. They planned to meet at a family barbecue later in the day. “I said, ‘I’ll come into Kamloops,’ and he said, ‘OK, I’m going to go for my bike ride,’” she said. “He made it out to Magna Bay. We’ve taken that trip, the two of us, a few times. This fellow just hit him from behind and fled the scene.”

Kamloops Paint and Window Coverings is stocking a shade called Bri’s Brown — actually the grey colour used to paint Kamloops-area school lockers — in honour of Brian Watson, a colourblind but beloved SD73 painter who was killed in April. Watson’s wife, Ila, plans to paint a room in her home in the colour.

‘I love you so much’ This is a note written to Brian Watson by his 10-year-old granddaughter

BRIAN WATSON

At the time of the crash, which took place on SquilaxAnglemont Road, police said the suspect was likely under the influence of drugs. Swann is not facing any charges related to impaired driving. Watson said she returned to her Chase home and saw her son’s vehicle outside — along with a police cruiser. “I came home but my son had just pulled in because he saw the police vehicle pull into our driveway,” she said. “The police had told him. Then I got in about 10 minutes later. He came to my car door and said, ‘Something terrible has happened. Dad was killed on his motorbike.’” Watson said she has struggled in the months since her husband was killed — not just with adjusting to everyday life without him, but also with the logistics of letting people know he’s died. “It’s been really tough,” she said. “He did the yard, he did all the outdoor work. All I did is I’m a good cook and a good cleaner.” That means Watson has been spending extra time outside — but not just for work’s sake. “I don’t go inside until about nine o’clock,” she said. “Every

DISASTER RESTORATION 101 Greg Buffel – ServiceMaster Restore® Kamloops Owner & Master Restorer with 23 years industry experience.

Does your home have Asbestos containing Vermiculite? Vermiculite is a silvery-gold, grey-brown material that is ﬂat and shiny. Vermiculite itself is not known to be a health problem, however, some vermiculite contains asbestos ﬁbers, which should not be inhaled. Asbestos containing Vermiculite is most commonly found in insulation behind wall cavities or in attic spaces. Prior to purchasing a home or working in any attic space it is best to have a hazardous materials survey completed by a professional.

night. I can’t stand being in the house without him. I’ve just started back at work and it’s been really hard. A lot of people don’t know [he died], so I’m still having to deal with that.” When her husband was killed, Watson said, he was in the middle of a big project at their Chase home. Over three weekends in March, he had installed 10 new windows and painted the home’s interior. Now, SD73 employees and local companies are going to finish the job. “They’re all going to get together and finish off all the jobs he didn’t finish,” Watson said, noting a Kamloops paint shop even renamed a shade — Bri’s Brown, which is actually the grey colour used on lockers

— ILA WATSON

in local schools — in her colourblind husband’s honour. “So, I’ve got to get some. I’m going to have to paint one of my rooms this ugly colour.” At her husband’s funeral, Watson couldn’t bring herself to speak. Instead, she wrote a note and had it projected on a screen for people to read. “From the time we sat across from each other in Grade 1, he’s been my everything,” it said. “It is so tragic when such a wonderful person had to be taken away from us this way. My dearest love, you will remain with me forever.” Watson said the note is a good indicator of her feelings. “I just expressed our loss,” she said. “An innocent person killed.”

VIEWPOINT

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK is a politically independent newspaper, published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. in Kamloops, B.C. V2C 5P6 Ph: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 e-mail: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

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

HOT: The latest act of philanthropy in the Tournament Capital. Yesterday at Royal Inland Hospital, Rae Fawcett donated a staggering $1 million to the RIH Foundation, to be used to build the breast health clinic in the new clinical-services building. Rae and husband Ron have donated so much to various causes in Kamloops, from Thompson Rivers University to the B.C. Wildlife Park to housing initiatives. Yesterday’s gift was the single-largest donation ever received by the RIH Foundation. NOT: The provincial government’s release yesterday of data relating to who is buying all the real estate in B.C. and why the prices continue to zoom into the ridiculous territory. The data, said government, points to the vast majority of purchases being from domestic, not foreign, sources. But the data cited covers a minuscule window of time — from June 10 to June 29. As Green Leader Andrew Weaver quipped: “Nineteen days’ worth of data is completely meaningless. This would be like me arguing that, since the Canucks didn’t play any games between June 10 and the 29th, Vancouver doesn’t have a hockey team. It’s just laughable.” We’d laugh, too, if we weren’t consumed with weeping over the list price of a crack shack in east Vancouver.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: Military history as Kamloops is the focal point of this weekend’s 75th anniversary celebrations of the 419 Moose Squadron, named in honour of city Second World War legend John “Moose” Fulton. There is plenty happening, including an open house at Kamloops Airport on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Fearless? Not in this age

ear can separate. It can serve as the emotional gap between you and a parachute, between you and a 100foot drop in a roller coaster. Fear can also create a political barrier, as, some say, was seen in the recent referendum in Britain to cut ties with the European Union. But is fear afoot in other divorce petitions? Britain is leaving the European Union, there’s a fledgling movement afoot to separate Vancouver Island from British Columbia (politically, to equal the geographical gap) and even city council appears ready to break up with a decision it made just a few weeks ago. Two days after the Oct. 19, 2015, federal election, some dejected Harperites started musing about an independent Western Canada. They have a Facebook page with a lot of people joining, bringing back memories of the not-so-halcyon days of Doug Christie and the Western Canada Concept Party. It is said voters in Britain opted for a divorce from the EU because of what boils down to xenophobia — a fear of change, change being more immigrants and their customs intruding on the Union Jack way of life. It could not have hurt the Brexit cause to have fresh and nearby terrorist attacks so available to use in the campaign. On Vancouver Island, maybe it’s the fear of a fixed-link bridge that is spurring the nascent movement to return the lump of land between the waters to the days of yore. I know it’s the fear of the out-

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS rageous fee to drive on to a BC Ferry vessel that keeps me on the mainland. Locally, perhaps an apparent change of heart at city hall in the grocery-store wine-sales debate is based on sober second thought preceded by rich dialogue. Or, the latest flip-flop on the booze battle could simply be a collective fear of continuing to look like 16th-century puritans in an age when every vice under the sun is available at the click of a button. As for the latter-day Western Canada Republicans? They probably fear our PM’s hair. Fear can be a powerful inhibitor. It can also be a tremendous motivator. Before he died in a Paris bathtub, rock star/poet Jim Morrison wrote a few lines about fear that have stuck with me since my Doors-obsessed teenaged years: “Expose yourself to your greatest fear. After that, fear has no power and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.” Or, as Psychology Today advises, without the hypnotic 1960s beat: “Exposing ourselves to our personal demons is the best way to move past them.”

Then again, the psychology magazine notes: “Fear is a vital response to physical and emotional danger — if we didn’t feel it, we couldn’t protect ourselves from legitimate threats. But often we fear situations that are far from life-or-death and thus hang back for no good reason.” Fear is here, there, everywhere. It is a central part of the U.S. presidential campaign. It no doubt played a role in the latest two fatal shootings by police this week, in St. Paul and Baton Rouge. On TV, it has been a Factor. Daily we invoke fear in the affirmative (“afraid so”) and the negative (“afraid not”). Blue Oyster Cult urged us to not fear the reaper, while The Fly told us to be afraid — be very afraid. According to an Insights West poll, plenty of us in B.C. are afraid of so many things that it’s a wonder we manage to leave our homes every day. The online poll of 802 residents, conducted a month ago, found 43 per cent of people in B.C. are afraid of terrorism, 40 per cent are scared of heights and 40 per cent want nothing to do with snakes. We are a province afraid of being a victim of crime (38 per cent), afraid of nuclear war (37 per cent), afraid of public speaking (36 per cent) and afraid of spiders (33 per cent). And, naturally, some of us (seven per cent) are afraid of clowns. Eight decades ago, Franklin Delanor Roosevelt assured us the only thing to fear was fear itself. Looking around the world today, we have much to fear.

YOUR OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

LAKE NEEDS TO SPEAK UP FOR ALL SPECIES Editor: How ironic that Terry Lake, Liberal MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson and the province’s health minister, will be speaking at the Species at Risk exhibition in Kamloops tomorrow. Lake’s government, led by Premier Christy Clark, shows little or no concern for the state of B.C.’s vanishing wildlife and habitat as evidenced by its supporting and condoning

of clearcut logging, construction of the Site C Dam, questionable mining practices and out of control real-estate development. Trophy hunting of grizzly bears (a threatened species), a five-year program of shooting wolves from helicopters and water pollution affecting salmon population are other examples of the indifference of Lake’s government with regard to our province’s finite wildlife.

Lake, a veterinarian by profession, took an oath to uphold as required the welfare of all animals. Perhaps he needs to be more vocal in his support of B.C. wildlife within his caucus in Victoria before more species are lost to extinction. Art Johnson Kamloops

LET’S DEMAND QUALITY HEALTH CARE Editor: I read Dr. Dennis Karpiak’s letter of July 1 (‘Bloated bureaucracy killing health care’) with a sense of appreciation that, finally, someone in our health system is speaking out about issues that affect us all. How sad that it should be our B.C. government “putting people first” (wasn’t that the phrase Premier Christy campaigned on last election?) yet the reality is the health care standard has steadily plummeted in the past 20 years. Sure, Health Minister Terry Lake says walk-in clinics are the new norm and everyone gets quality care, that family physicians are no longer the norm. No, no, no. That is not good enough. Quality health care begins with the continuity of care only available through a family physician, a doctor who knows the patient, the patient history and who guides the diagnoses. That is the most efficient

delivery of health care, so we need to empower our family doctors. I have been without a family doctor for nearly a year. What I have discovered in the past 12 months is disturbing. I cannot even call to make an appointment at a walk-in clinic. I must stand in line, in the inclement weather, for up to an hour before the clinic opens to even have a chance of seeing a physician that day. Or I head to the ER at Royal Inland Hospital and get in queue. I am absolutely certain neither Clark nor Lake have such obstacles to their medical care. How many non-emergencies are being treated at our ERs each and every day due to a doctor shortage? At what cost? I am sure each visit to the ER is considerably more costly to our medical system than a trip to our doctor’s office. As chaotic and challenging

as our medical system is, I am afraid the vulnerable and elderly will find the stress of walk-in medical care too overwhelming. Clinics need to adapt to accommodate a telephone appointment system. Not everyone can traipse to a walk-in clinic at 7 a.m. to get on the list to return later that day for an “appointment.” Who hasn’t experienced the long delays in getting in to see a specialist once the patient has been lucky enough to get referred? A year’s wait is nothing these days. And then the wait begins again for hospital time, etc., etc. It is not good enough and it is long past time we all speak up about what we want from our health-care system. I agree with Karpiak — cut the bureaucracy to a minimum and put the money into patient care. Marjorie Miconi Kamloops

No camping fees on isle? Editor: I walked around McArthur Island on Canada Day. There was more than a dozen trailers and campers parked there. Why does the city allow this? Are there not campgrounds in Kamloops? Do they not pay for business licences, pay taxes and employee people? Is it proper for the City of Kamloops to compete (for free) with businesses that are trying to make a living in this city? Inquiring minds want to know. Richard Berry Kamloops

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: CAMPSITE RUSH: 75 PER CENT OF RESERVATIONS ARE MADE BY B.C. RESIDENTS:

“Big money grab for the province that, again, recently upped camping fees. “Unfortunately, these rates leave out some B.C. residents with children. There’s no rate forgiveness or a reduction that’s set up for them. “If you live in beautiful B.C. and would like to camp in our parks, bring the bucks. You’ll need them; otherwise, you’re not getting in.” — posted by Les Evens

RE: LETTER: YOU’RE PRETTY ENOUGH — NOW PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD:

“Make-up, food, dogs and cats sitting with the driver — why are people so dumb? “Why do they not know they are endangering other people? “Oh, yes, I know, its because it will never happen to them and they will never hit someone.” — posted by ABC Librarian

Unsigned will not substituted A B.C. Supreme Court justice has declined to substitute a draft will never signed by the longtime director of Kamloops Art Gallery. Jann Bailey, who began working at the gallery in 1987 and oversaw it for decades, died on Oct. 9, 2015, after a long battle with leukemia.

Lawyer Candace Cates petitioned the B.C. Supreme Court to determine how to divide Bailey’s estate: through her 2008 will or via a subsequent, but similar, document that was drafted and worked on in 2013 and 2014, but never signed. “For over two years, Ms. Bailey did not revoke her 2008 will by word or deed . . .

There simply was no expression by Ms. Bailey whether the December 2014 draft was a final expression of her testamentary intentions,” Justice Hyslop wrote.

Mounties were called at about noon on Saturday, July 2, after a boater found the human remains. Police said the body appeared to have been there for a long time as it was in advanced stages of decomposition.

A Valleyview pizzeria will likely be closed for most of the summer after a car crashed into the side of the building on Tuesday, rupturing its gas line. Domino’s Pizza owner Rocky Hunter said the structural damage to the building’s south and east walls is significant, but quick to repair. What will take longer is sourcing a new walk-in cooler for the restaurant, which will come from the U.S. and could take up to eight weeks to be delivered. “The good news is we do still have the other store,” Hunter said. “We can still deliver to most of the city.” Hunter said the Valleyview store, at Highway 1 and Oriole Road, has rerouted its calls to the North Shore Domino’s branch at Fortune Drive and Eighth Street, which will deliver to all neighbourhoods except for Barnhartvale and Dallas.

The 2016 Seniors’ Picnic will take place in Riverside Park on Friday, July 15 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (an incorrect date ran in yesterday’s paper). The annual event brings Kamloops seniors together to get outside, enjoy the sun, make new friends and help others. The picnic is free to attend, but participants must register by Sunday, July 10, by calling 250828-3500 with program #254343, or by going online to www.kamloops.ca/ezreg. Activities include Zumba, osteo-fit, arts and crafts and a photo booth. Free lunch will be provided by the Lions Paddlewheelers group and music will be performed by the Kamloops Rube Band. Event sponsors are Chartwell Ridgepointe and Retirement Concepts. While free parking will be available at Sandman Centre, in the parking lot fronting Heritage House and in the west parking lot by the tennis courts, the city is encouraging seniors to take public transit, carpool or find alternative forms of transportation as there is limited space for vehicles. Attendees are urged to bring a water bottle, hat and sunscreen.

Help VK add to its profile Volunteer Kamloops is asking the public to complete a survey to get a better understanding of community involvement and how it can best increase its profile. Volunteer Kamloops was created in 1985 under Volunteer BC. It has two main programs, with LINK being the most prominent. LINK is a program anyone in the community can use to gain work experience or become involved in the community. The second program is called FOCUS, a referral program for

those with mental disabilities. It is a self-sustaining program that provides those with disabilities $100 monthly incentives to be active in the community by doing volunteer work. Two other programs are being planned — one focused on youth and the other on the international population. The main focus Volunteer Kamloops is to connect volunteers to opportunities in the community. The survey can be found online at https:// www.surveymonkey. com/r/RJWB92Y.

GLOBAL VIEWS

THE ENDLESS WAR IN IRAQ

his from a note from British prime minister Tony Blair to U.S. president George W. Bush in December 2001, two years before the two countries invaded Iraq: “Suppose that . . . the Iraqis feel ambivalent about being invaded and real Iraqis, not [just] Saddam’s special guard, decide to offer resistance.” At least Blair had some doubts, but neither man could really imagine the Iraqis would see them as conquerors, not liberators. Another 13 years have passed and at last we have the Chilcot Report, an impartial official investigation into why Britain joined the United States in that invasion. There is no equivalent American document. It’s a 12-volume study that illustrates just how illinformed and reckless the planners of that illegal war were, but it doesn’t tell us much we didn’t already know. There are some juicy documents about the pre-war connivance between Bush and Blair, like Blair’s promise in 2001 that “We are with you, whatever.” But there is comparatively little on the scale of the disaster the invasion inflicted on innocent Iraqis: Thirteen years of war, up to 600,000 Iraqis killed and a country effectively destroyed. So, this is a good time to recall the fate of the city of Fallujah. Fallujah was a city of a third of a million people, less than an hour’s drive west of Baghdad. It was occupied by U.S. troops in April 2003. It was the first place where American troops fired on Iraqi civilians (they were protesting against the takeover of a local high school by the US 82nd Airborne Division). The city had fallen under the control of Iraqi resistance forces by the end of the year. That was the First Battle of Fallujah. Fallujah was recaptured in November 2004 by U.S. forces at a cost of 95 American dead and 560 wounded. An estimated 1,350 insurgents were killed in this Second Battle of Fallujah. A large but uncounted number of civilians also died as the American offensive

involved massive artillery bombardments including white phosphorus shells. About 9,000 of the city’s 39,000 homes were destroyed in that battle and more than half were damaged. The city was never properly rebuilt, but by 2006, about two-thirds of its residents had returned. Despite constant attacks on the occupation forces by the group that later turned into Islamic State, the United States returned Fallujah to Iraqi government control in 2008 — or perhaps we should say Iraqi government occupation, for by now the American-backed government in Baghdad was almost entirely Shia, whereas Fallujah is a Sunni city. Sunni insurgents took back control of Fallujah in January 2014, six months before the rest of western Iraq fell to the forces of Islamic State virtually without a fight. The pattern was the same: the new Iraqi army built up by the United States at a cost of $26 billion simply collapsed and ran away. The Third Battle of Fallujah began in May of this year. Iraqi government forces (mosty Shia, of course), supported by Iranian troops and American air strikes, took almost six weeks to recapture the city, which by the end of the fighting contained only a few tens of thousands of civilians. More will return in due course, mainly because they have nowhere else to go, but most of the city is just ruins. Other cities in Iraq are less comprehensively wrecked, but none of them are safe places to live. The most recent bomb attack in Baghdad, last Saturday night, killed at least 250 people. When the current Iraqi prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, visited the scene of the bombing on Sunday, he was chased away by a crowd hurling stones, shoes and insults. And there is no end in sight. Thirteen years, a halfmillion excess deaths or more, millions of refugees, general impoverishment and insecurity and an astoundingly corrupt government that is strongly and successfully resisting Abadi’s attempt to

reform it. It is no wonder even most of those in Iraq who suffered under Saddam Hussein’s tyrannical rule now wish he had never been overthrown. “Saddam has gone and we have 1,000 Saddams now,” said Kadhim al-Jabbouri in a recent interview with the BBC. Jabbouri, who became famous for taking a sledgehammer to a statue of the dictator as American forces entered Baghdad in 2003, added: “It wasn’t like this under Saddam . . . We didn’t like him, but he was better than those people . . . There was no corruption or looting. You could be safe.” The cautious ruminations of the Chilcot Report underplay the most important fact about the invasion of Iraq, which is that all these appalling consequences were entirely predictable. People who had any real knowledge of the political, ethnic and sectarian politics in the region — and especially in Iraq — did predict them, including the relevant experts in the U.S. State Department and the British Foreign Ministry. Never mind whether or not the decision to invade Iraq was a war crime (though it was, under international law). Never mind whether the invaders’ motives were good or bad (they were the usual mixture of both, actually). What shines through is the sheer arrogance and ignorance of those who brought this calamity down on the Iraqis, who must now live out their lives in misery and terror. Thanks, guys.

PM at NATO summit LEE BERTHIAUME

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plan to turn Canada back into a peacekeeping powerhouse is expected to bump up against the threat of a new Cold War in Europe when he lands in Poland today for his first NATO leaders’ summit. Trudeau will arrive armed with a promise to have Canada take a leadership role in a 4,000-strong NATO force being deployed in Eastern Europe. That is expected to include sending hundreds of Canadian troops to Latvia, where they will serve as a deterrent against Russian aggression in the region. Officials speaking on background during a technical briefing ahead of the trip said it will be the largest Canadian deployment since the Second World War. It is also an indication of the country’s strong and enduring support for NATO, they added. While the message is expected to be welcomed, it could also be questioned. NATO asked Canada to take a leadership role in Eastern Europe, not the other way around. The officials suggested this was a recognition of Canada’s importance to the alliance. But the Liberal government’s agreement came after significant pressure from NATO leaders, including Secretary General Jens

Stoltenberg and U.S. President Barack Obama, who called on Canada during his speech to Parliament last week to do more for the alliance. At the same time, the Liberals have made no secret of their desire to have Canada do more with the United Nations on peacekeeping. It is also in the midst of developing a new Canadian defence policy. NATO leaders will want to know where the alliance fits in the government’s plans. Conservative defence critic James Bezan said he supports Canada sending troops to Eastern Europe to help NATO against Russia. However, he is concerned about the government’s apparent hesitancy and predicted the summit would be an “eye-opener’’ for the prime minister. “He’s got this nostalgic view of peacekeeping,’’ Bezan said. “I think it’s a decision that goes farther than the prime minister was comfortable with. But what NATO is dealing with, not just with Russia, but [the Islamic State), Afghanistan and North Africa, requires intestinal fortitude.’’ NDP Defence critic Randall Garrison also welcomed Canada’s new role in Eastern Europe, saying it’s important that Canada continue to be an active member in the alliance. But he questioned how it squares with the government’s

overall vision for the military and defence, all of which is still up in the air. “What is our larger strategy not just for Russia, but with the wider world?’’ he asked. “It’s our lack of clarity of where we’re going that leads to the arm twisting.’’ At the same time, both critics questioned whether Canada is investing enough in the military to sustain the commitment and whatever other operations the government plans to undertake. Canada’s defence spending was less than one per cent of gross domestic product last year. The NATO target is two per cent and, even with a slight increase this year, Canada will sit 23rd out of 28 allies. The Islamic State and Afghanistan will figure prominently in the discussions between NATO leaders. After years of resistance, the alliance will contribute surveillance planes and a training mission to help fight ISIL. Given Canada’s current involvement, Trudeau isn’t expected to add anything new. But he might on Afghanistan. Two years after the last Canadian troops pulled out of the NATO-led mission there, the country remains awash in violence. As a result, Obama announced Wednesday that the U.S. would slow its troop withdrawal from the country.

Union rejects binding arbitration CANADA POST EXTENDS LOCKOUT NOTICE TO SUNDAY NIGHT JORDAN PRESS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada Post’s largest union has rejected a proposal from the federal labour minister to undergo binding arbitration to avoid a potential work stoppage. But the threat of that work stoppage has been delayed — at least until Monday. Canada Post has extended its lockout notice to Sunday at 9:01 p.m. Kamloops time and said it would be willing to submit to arbitration in an effort to resolve the ongoing dispute. The deadline had initially been set for today. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers said in a statement it has “politely

declined’’ the suggestion from Labour Minister MaryAnn Mihychuk for binding arbitration, calling it a “matter of principle.’’ Instead, the union hopes to reach a negotiated settlement. Canada Post said in a statement that it was prepared to go to binding arbitration as a way to reach “an acceptable resolution’’ for both sides. The Crown corporation said the uncertainty caused by the ongoing impasse in negotiations is having a “severe impact’’ on business as e-commerce companies shift their shipping to private couriers. Canada Post said the two sides “remain far apart on key issues’’ after seven months of negotiations. Canada Post and the union remain at loggerheads on two big issues: CUPW’s

request for wage increases for rural mail carriers and the pension changes Canada Post said it needs to reduce costs. The union is now accusing Canada Post of bargaining in bad faith. CUPW said it filed a formal complaint Wednesday with the Canada Industrial Relations Board. It alleges Canada Post has refused to negotiate on the offer the union tabled a week before the union was in a legal position to strike and the corporation was in a legal position to lock out workers. The complaint also alleges managers have been “making threats and spreading disinformation’’ to union members. A note on the union’s website states the two sides met briefly Wednesday in the presence of mediators to discuss a range of issues, but noted there was no major progress made.

What will and will not be delivered THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada Post is facing a potential labour disruption as of Monday. Here’s what you need to know if there’s a halt in postal services: • All packages and parcels already in the system will be stuck there and no new packages or letters will be accepted. • Postal workers will still deliver government pension and benefits, but not all. Federally, Canada Post and the union have agreed to keep delivering cheques for old age security, Canada Pension Plan, the working income tax benefit, the Canada Child Benefit and student loans. • If you haven’t or can’t sign up for direct deposit for employment insurance, you can call 1-800-2067218 to ask for a cheque that can be picked up at the nearest Service Canada location. • Passport applications will need to be done in person if you plan to travel in less than six weeks from when you drop off your application. The federal government is recommending anyone who doesn’t need to urgently travel to hold off on passport applications for the time being.

• Any mail you send the Canada Revenue Agency, such as tax payments, or that the agency is supposed to send you, like refunds, rebates, benefits aside from the ones deemed essential (see above), won’t be delivered. The CRA recommends using its online services instead. All mail will be held at the CRA until postal services resume. • You still have to pay your household bills on time, even if the bills do not arrive in the mail. • Online shopping won’t shut down, but delivery details have changed. A note on Amazon’s website said that, until further notice, it won’t ship to P.O. boxes, Canada Post retail locations (which Amazon calls pickup points) or remote locations. Well. ca has moved all deliveries to UPS, which means a halt on shipping to P.O. boxes and express shipping. • Canada Post and the union don’t have any special provisions to continue shipping medical marijuana through the mail. Licensed producers have said they will use private couriers to keep shipments rolling. • The Correctional Service Canada and the Parole Board of Canada will contact

registered victims by phone or email for the duration of any labour dispute and may send documents by courier. Victims who need to submit statements should call or email their victim services officer. • Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada will use pri-

vate couriers to deliver priority mail, such as temporary certificate of registration documents, passports or birth certificates and anything else the department deems time-sensitive or critical to operations. Those wishing to submit comments for consultations on the

Nutrition North program are encouraged to do so via Twitter or email. • Parks Canada passes, permits and merchandise can be purchased online and available for pickup on-site. Private couriers will handle any deliveries of all Parks Canada materials.

RCMP revamp witness protection program following secret review JIM BRONSKILL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

My mom’s health is failing and I think this is caused by a poor diet. She often tells me that she had cheese and crackers for dinner. How can I convince her that a healthy diet is important in maintaining optimum health?

Never underestimate the importance of a well balanced diet. Nutrition plays a key role in healthy aging. Elderly folks living alone often have diets that fall short when it comes to healthy eating. Isolation is a growing concern and often a person’s social environment or lack of contact with friends and family can contribute to unhealthy eating. As people age, they are less likely to eat well and this is especially true if they are living alone. Studies show that older adults eating alone typically consume 50% fewer fruits and vegetables than individuals having dinner companions. Research adds evidence that social relationships encourage a healthy diet and ultimately a healthier lifestyle. Retirement Communities can be great places that offer healthy, well balanced meals with opportunities to be socially active and engaged. If you think retirement community living is a possibility make sure you do your research and join one of their community representatives for lunch. This might be just what your mom needs!

controversies. The federal witness program, administered by the RCMP, is seen as a key tool in the fight against terrorism and organized crime. It shields people who help authorities by providing everything from short-term protection to permanent relocation and identity changes. Protectees may be victims, informants, witnesses or others threatened with intimidation or violence. Protection is available to those referred from any police service in Canada, foreign agencies and other federal departments involved in national security or defence. In 2014-2015, the $9.6-million program admitted 23 protectees, all of whom were granted a secure name change. The program was thrust into the headlines several years ago when it emerged that a protectee committed a murder while enrolled. Some members have sued over their treatment, while others have been kicked out. In 2010, a federal

records obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act show the review found: • the witness protection program has “undertaken considerable efforts’’ to address the concerns identified by the Air India inquiry and the House of Commons committee on public safety and national security; • opportunities to improve the management of cases, including deliberations on who gets into the program; • a need for new ways to report on the results achieved and their impact. Senior RCMP management has signed off on the report, including various recommendations to strengthen the program. “Work is now underway to implement the action plan,’’ said RCMP Const. Annie Delisle, a force spokeswoman. She declined to elaborate on the steps being taken “due to the sensitive nature of this information.’’ Last year a federal advisory committee

reported that the witness protection program was “on the right track’’ following its legislative transformation. However, the committee suggested, among other things, that the program build on its efforts to better accommodate people of various ethno-cultural backgrounds, including aboriginals, and that it usher in cultural sensitivity training. It also recommended a continuing emphasis on victims’ rights, encouraging research to increase knowledge about clients most at risk, such as women and children. It appears the witness program will also be scrutinized by the RCMP watchdog, as the initiative is “one of several areas that we intend on examining in due course,’’ said Tim Cogan, a spokesman for the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP. However, he added, the commission wants the RCMP to have “sufficient time to implement its action plan’’ before any review takes place.

inquiry into the 1985 Air India bombing said it was inappropriate for a police agency with an interest in ensuring sources agree to become witnesses to also make decisions about admission into a witness protection program. As a result, legislative changes that took effect in November 2014 walled off the program from the RCMP’s investigative units. The Mounties also introduced new training, standardized procedures and a “psycho-social assessment’’ to determine whether possible protectees are a good fit. Still, five people were told to leave the program in 2014-2015, while three protectees filed lawsuits.

VICTORIA — The provincial government has released its first snapshot of foreign real estate transactions across British Columbia. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said just over three per cent of sales between June 10 and June 29 involved foreign buyers, mostly from China. Forty-seven of those transactions were within the city of Vancouver while 260 involved properties around Metro Vancouver. Figures released by the Finance Ministry show the value of all the transactions across the province involving foreign buyers totalled $390 million during the three-week period. That amounts to 5.1 per cent of the $7.6 billion that changed hands in just over 10,000 residential real estate sales around B.C. De Jong brought in measures in February to track the role of foreign ownership after claims that foreign buyers affect affordability rates.

Reed gets Hall of Fame nod

kamloopsthisweek.com | 250-374-7467

MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

“It has been a dream, a goal, really, since I was a little kid,” said Coulter, a right-handed pitcher and first baseman who leads the Athletics in home runs. “It’s a good feeling. It feels like I’ve accomplished something. “It’s always fun, so it’s really about just having fun playing the game, but it’s nice to be able to help your parents out, have your college paid for, stuff like that.” For Pearce and Avila, the move to the U.S. will bring an added wrinkle — they’ll be on different teams. The pair has been on the same roster almost every year since they first took the diamond.

Gary Reed was completely relaxed the night before the national track and field championships began yesterday in Edmonton, six years removed from competition. Athletes from across the country looked focused, the ones who remain active, but there wasn’t a nervous bone GARY REED in Reed’s body. The six-time Canadian champion was at a gala on Wednesday night to be inducted into the Athletics Canada Hall of Fame — and he was drinking it all in. “It took me off guard,” said Reed, who lives in the Tournament Capital and coaches at the Kamloops Track and Field Club. “It’s not something you expect to hear when you’re six years removed from the sport. It came as a real surprise for me. “It’s not one of those things that was even on my radar. It was a huge honour and it gave time time to reflect on my career.” There is plenty at which to marvel. In his discipline of choice, the 800-metre running distance, Reed is the Canadian standard bearer, having won silver at the 2007 IAAF World Championships in Athletics in Osako. He donned the Maple Leaf twice at the Olympic Summer Games, in 2008 in Beijing and 2004 in Athens. Reed finished in 1:43.68 at a Diamond League event in Monaco in 2008 and that mark still stands as the Canadian 800m record. “As far as greatest accomplishment, it’s the silver medal in Osako,” said Reed, whose best finish at the Olympics was fourth in Beijing. “To get any medal on any level in track is a tough task and it took a lifetime to get there. It’s something I’ll never forget.” The hall of fame class of 2016 includes Reed, race walker Tim Berrett, 400-metre runner Tyler Christopher, 100-metre hurdler Perdita Felicien and Running Room founder John Stanton. “I’ve often said I don’t have any regrets and I stand by that,” Reed said. “I let it all out there on the track. A lot of people said you could have stayed on for a couple years. I really could not have. When I walked away, I didn’t have anything left. I’m happy with where the chips fell.”

hey were always a little bit ahead of the curve. Now McCoy Pearce, Sam Avila and Brendan Coulter will see if it translates to college. The trio of Kamloopsborn baseball players is heading south later this summer, all destined to begin junior college baseball careers at schools in the United States. Two will play in the National Junior College Athletic Association — Pearce for the New Mexico Military Institute Broncos in Roswell and Avila for

the Otero Junior College Rattlers in La Junta, Colo. — while Coulter will head to Coos Bay to suit up for the Southwestern Oregon Community College Lakers of the Northwest Athletic Conference. The three have played their last few seasons in Kelowna for the Okanagan Athletics of the B.C. Premier League. Their team is 24-12 this year and on the verge of what they hope will be an extended playoff run. But before they shipped out for the Little Apple, it was in the Tournament Capital they got their start. “They were all fairly good, but I didn’t think they were going anywhere or anything, it was just for fun,” said Mark

Orr, Pearce’s dad and a longtime coach for the trio. “It’s a great opportunity for them. It’s going to be really interesting to see how they do.” All three players fielded several scholarship offers — some from Canadian clubs and others from Division 1 NCAA schools — before settling on junior colleges in the U.S., where scholarship money can be more plentiful. According to the Canadian Baseball Network, they will join roughly 800 Canadians in the US college system. The promise of full-ride scholarships, along with the chance to develop for two years before taking a shot at the NCAA, drew them south.

With a little more than two weeks until race day, the 2016 Sport Chek Kamloops Marathon is running a record-setting pace. The fifth annual Kamloops race, which is set to go on July 24, has roughly 350 runners confirmed for the day of the event — up 150 from this time last year. “So far, we’ve grown seven per cent every year. We anticipate that this year, we’ll also grow seven per cent,” said Dustin McIntyre, sponsorship co-ordinator for the Kamloops Marathon and Thompson Rivers University. “We’d really like to see this race get up to around 1,500 people. I think that would be a comfortable amount of people and something that’s attainable for us in the next few years here.” McIntyre said orga-

nizers are expecting about 600 racers will be pounding the pavement when the starting gun goes off later this month. They’re projecting 300 runners from Kamloops, 200 from across the rest of B.C. and 100 from the rest of Canada. There will also be a handful of racers from Washington and the Pacific Northwest. The increase in numbers is being attributed to the race’s growing reputation, as well as its title sponsorship relationship with Sport Chek and an increased focus on campaigning via social media. The marathon is still a qualifier for the Boston Marathon and two tickets to the Massachusetts city will be given away through Air Canada. All funds raised by the marathon, halfmarathon, marathon relay and eight-kilometre races — orga-

nizers are aiming for roughly $10,000 — will go toward supporting Thompson Rivers WolfPack athletes with scholarships and bursaries. Money from the three-kilometre race will go to Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart program. The event will also feature a pasta dinner on the night before the race, with a keynote speech from Allison Tai, a former competitive runner and Ironman triathlete who nearly had her career ended by a serious car accident. She is now a worldclass obstacle course racer and a Reeboksponsored athlete. The race is building on lessons from previous years. After runners missed turnaround points in both the 2014 and 2013 Kamloops Marathons, McIntyre said the course will be labelled with brightly coloured route stickers on the ground. The biodegradable markers are a precursor to one of the event’s long-term goals — to have a blue paint line permanently mark the course around Kamloops. “That’s something the city has said they’re interested in as well, if we can find a sponsor for that,” McIntyre said.

“It goes along with their Tournament Capital plan — they have a permanent marathon route in Kamloops, we would have a map there, the whole thing. So that’s something we’re exploring to do in the next few years as well.” The routes remain mostly the same for the 2016 race, with a slight change to the full marathon distance to account for the closure of a section of the River’s Trail near the Yellowhead Bridge.

But even in the NJCAA, they’re likely to see one another. Their schools are slated to meet in exhibition action this fall. “I didn’t really see myself going this far with baseball. I thought it would be something else maybe, because I played a bunch of sports when I was younger,” said Pearce, a third baseman. “So, when it happened I was kind of surprised, happy at the same time.” For Avila, the last few months have been a whirlwind — he also played in the Tournament 12 showcase at the Toronto Blue Jays’ Rogers Centre earlier this season. The middle infielder said it’s hard to believe where his childhood sport has taken him. “Overall it has been such a good experience because it’s setting me up for the rest of my life,” he said. “It’s making all of us into better people.”

BRING ON PORTUGAL

HOST FRANCE KNOCKS OFF GERMANY TO EARN BERTH IN SUNDAY FINAL OF EURO 2016 JAMES ELLINGWORTH

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MARSEILLE — Antoine Griezmann scored twice as France beat world champion Germany 2-0 on Thursday to line up a European Championship final against Portugal. Griezmann put France in front from the penalty spot in stoppage time at the end of the first half and then took advantage of a German defensive blunder to score his second with a calm finish in the 72nd minute. France reached its first final for a decade and is chasing its first major trophy since Euro 2000, while Germany missed its chance to add the European title to the World Cup it won in 2014.

Griezmann has now scored six goals at Euro 2016 — twice as many as any other player at the tournament — and could have completed a hat trick on a break in the 86th minute but shot straight at goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. Germany could have scored more than once as it dominated the first half. But it was denied by poor shooting from Thomas Mueller, who ended his tournament scoreless, and a save by Hugo Lloris to deny Emre Can’s bouncing shot. France took the lead from the penalty spot after Bastian Schweinsteiger handled the ball in an aerial challenge with Patrice Evra. Griezmann stepped up to score, striking the penalty hard to Neuer’s right.

The German defence had not conceded from open play all tournament, but it fell apart for Griezmann’s second goal in the 72nd minute. Benedikt Hoewedes’ sluggish pass to right back Joshua Kimmich was cut out by Paul Pogba and Neuer could only palm away the midfielder’s cross to Griezmann, who finished with ease. Germany responded well and could have pulled one back when Kimmich hit the post, before Julian Draxler sent a free-kick narrowly wide and Hoewedes headed over. France’s players celebrated at the end with the fans by performing the “Hu’’ chant made famous at the tournament by Iceland.

Chris who? Esks not worried about Jones JOHN KOROBANIK

THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — When Chris Jones brings his Saskatchewan Roughriders into Commonwealth Stadium tonight he’s likely to be greeted by cheers from some fans for bringing a Grey Cup to Edmonton last season, booed by others for deserting the Eskimos so shortly afterwards, or a combination of both. What he won’t get from the Eskimo players is any reaction at all. To them Jones made a business decision and now he’s just another coach. “I really don’t care, that’s about as much as I want to talk about it,’’ defensive lineman Almondo Sewell said of Jones departure and return. “It’s business, man, just business,’’ added running back Calvin McCarty, the longestserving Eskimo on

the roster. “He had a great opportunity to go elsewhere. There’s a lot of guys who had opportunity to do stuff elsewhere but chose to be here and be an Eskimo. We have a lot of guys who believe in the Eskimo way and are here for a reason. If you don’t want to be here, you don’t have to be here. That’s his choice.’’ Or, as defensive end Marcus Howard put it: “If someone offers you a dollar and someone else offers up a hundred bucks I’m pretty sure you’re going to take that hundred bucks. I know I would. “So I’m not going to say he’s not loyal. Coach Jones is just a thing of the past.’’ More important to the Eskimos is that they rebound from their opening week, 45-37 overtime loss to the Ottawa Redblacks and that the defence gets rid of the mental mistakes that ultimately led to that loss.

“That’s a lot of young, dumb mistakes,’’ Sewell said of Week 1. “We’ve all been playing for a while and when we saw it on game film we couldn’t believe we actually did it.’’ The good news for the defending Grey Cup champions is they had a week off to digest their performance and figure out what to do to try ensure it doesn’t happen this week. Although teams would normally not want their bye week after just one game, the time off could prove beneficial. “Based on everything that occurred it is,’’ said defensive co-ordinator Mike Benevides. “It gives you a chance to evaluate, a chance to spend more time together. There’s some positions where there’s some youth, some young people, so we had a chance to spend more time with them.”

CRIMES OF THE WEEK

MUG SHOTS

SUMMERTIME THIEVES Summertime thieves are taking advantage of people travelling through the Kamloops area or people getting ready for holidays. These suspects took two Kayaks from a roof rack of a car that had been parked on Whiteshield Crescent. This theft occurred over night on Sunday, July 3rd. The first Kayak is described as 14-foot Liquid Logic Pisgah, the second a 14-foot Elie Staright 140 XE both have a red top and white bottom. There is no doubt that at least two people would have been needed to pack theses Kayaks away to a near by vehicle. This is a good reminder to remove all valuable from roof racks, bicycle carriers and especially anything of value inside the vehicle. If you saw these Kayaks being transported down the street late at night, do the right thing and contact Crime Stoppers. You will never have to go to court or give a statement.

On Sunday, July 3rd at approximately 8:15 pm, a lone male went to the parking lot of the Thompson Hotel on Victoria St. Once there, he took out a pair bolt cutter, then proceeded to cut the lock off a bike that was on a vehicle’s bike carrier. The bike is a Blue Kona Process, the bike can be easily identified by the owner and the serial number

have been entered on the police computer system. The male is described as a Caucasian, short dark hair, early 30’s, wearing a dark coat and carrying a smaller duffle bag.

THEFT OF ATV Sometime overnight on Tuesday, June 21st an ATV was taken from the 2500 block of East Shuswap Road. This is a rural area, the suspect got in to the property late at night and pushed the ATV away from the house. Once it was away from the main residence, the ATV could have been driven away or loaded on to a near by

vehicle. The ATV is described as a 2015 Polaris side by side, the main body was camo in colour with black doors, there was this BC licence plate on it 11821X. Be aware that these thieves are traveling not only in the City but also the rural areas looking for items to take. If you see something

Two philosophies and three demands of life

ne of the deepest spiritual analyses I heard in recent days about the condition of current state of Christian faith jolted me. The speaker was cutting, but wellmeaning in disturbing his listeners when he said: “Millions of Christians live in a sentimental haze of vague piety, with soft organ music, trembling in the lovely light from stained glass windows. “Their religion is a thing of pleasant emotional quivers, divorced from the real, divorced from the intellect, and demanding little except lipservice to a few harmless platitudes.” He went on to say: “I suspect that Satan has called off the attempt to convert people to agnosticism. If a person travels far enough away from Christian faith, he is always in danger of seeing it in perspective and deciding that it is true. “It is much safer, from Satan’s point of view, to vaccinate a man with a mild dose of religion, so as to protect him from the real thing.” The keenness of that analysis is both biblical and tragic. In Matthew 16:24-27, we have in succinct form the demands of Jesus of those who are his children. He speaks forthrightly that if we are to go after him, we are to deny our selves, take up our cross and follow him. This passage is very

NARYAN MITRA

moving. There are two little words, one of which occurs three times, which lead us into the movement of the passage and prepare us to understand what our Lord says. The first one is “then” — “then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me . . .” “Then” points to a precise occurrence that sets the stage in a particular circumstance. There was something in the environment of that particular time that elicited this particular teaching from the Lord. Having articulated the principle, he followed that call by three reasons why we should obey that call. Each one of them is introduced by the little word “for.” When did Jesus set the context? It was soon after the confession of Peter: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” How that must have thrilled the heart of Jesus, as Peter, the spokesman for the rest of Jesus’ inner circle, enunciated so perfectly the identity of his Lord. Now the disciples were ready for the next lesson. That is

the way God always works. When we learn one lesson, He would teach us the next. Having made them understand the first lesson as to who he was, Jesus proceeded to tell them why he had come on earth (v. 21). It was on one of these occasions when he was speaking in this vein, Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him. It was then that the Lord turned to Peter and, in words of excoriation, told him: “Get behind me, Satan.” There are basically only two philosophies of life. Of course, there are many more but they are variants of the two. These two are clearly presented in this passage. One of them is, in the words of Peter, a literal translation of which can read: “Pity yourself, Lord this shall never happen to you.” Multitudes of people live with that as the philosophy of their lives. Anything that would cause hardship, heartache, difficulty or inconvenience — away with them. Live for the things of time and sense, and find comfort. Discover that which is pleasing to the flesh. But for the Christian, the source of that philosophy is settled and made clear by the Son of God. He says that it has the smell of sulphurous flames of hell. It is Satan’s philosophy. The other philosophy is in the language of Jesus: “Deny yourself.”

There we have the two possibilities: Pity yourself or deny yourself. Only the second is Christian in character. It is time that we faced the fact that Christian life is no picnic. Jesus never deceived his followers into thinking that Christian life would be easy. Invariably, he pointed out the hardships, the difficulties that we would encounter if we were to follow him. Deny yourself. Take up your cross. Follow Jesus. Say “no” to yourself. Yield yourself to the will of God. Say “yes” to God even though it means saying “no” to the fondest ambition that we have and the choice desires that we yearn for, Even the legitimate desires that we cherish in order to be his disciples. If we only knew what the Lord wants to give us. I have never found a saint of God, all out for Him, who has been sorry that he has gone all out for God. The only way to live authentically is to deny yourself, to take up our cross, and to follow Him. ryanmitra225@ gmail.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

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!

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman

Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Harold is survived by his loving partner of 24 years Beryl Brassington, his sons Brent, Brad (Bev) and daughter Susan. Also his extended family Ronda (Grant), Chris (Lynette), Blair (Nicki), twelve grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren and many friends who will miss him dearly. A Celebration of Life will be held for Harold on Saturday July 16, 2016 at 1:00 pm at The Rayleigh Pub for friends and family.

Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.

First Memorial Funeral Service

Nick Wasyk Pops and Dad

June 1926 - July 2015 We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. We think of you in silence, we often speak your name. All we have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake with which we’ll never part God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts. If we could have a lifetime wish, and one dream that could come true, We would pray to God with all our hearts, just to see and speak with you. A thousand words won’t bring you back, we know because we’ve tried... And neither will a million tears, we know because we’ve cried... You’ve left behind our broken hearts, and precious memories too... But we’ve never wanted memories, we only wanted you.

In 2003, she moved to Greenfield Place where she met many new friends. The family would like to thank the residents and staff at Greenfield Place for their kindness and warm friendship over the years.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Multitasking to bring annual X-Fest to life DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

There is no a-ha moment for Melissa Thomas, that moment when she just knows all the work was worth it and everything will be great. That the two plays Project X Theatre, of which she is its artistic producer, are exactly what she wants them to be. “I have to trust in the team” Thomas said. “And I do fully. All the right people in all the right positions and I can let it go.” That team is essential for the annual X-Fest the theatre company mounts every summer at Prince Charles Park, turning the northeast corner of the area into an outdoor theatre. Each year, two plays are presented: this year, Thomas is directing The Wizard of Oz and Mack Gordon is directing Munsch Upon a Time. They’re also acting in the plays, as is most of the team, some of them taking on multiple roles. Andrew Cooper, for example, is the wizard, the monkey king and a munchkin in Oz. He’s also the play’s assistant director. In Munsch, he plays a central character, Prof. Pimm, the inventor who sets the action in motion. He’s also choreographer for both plays. Valleyview secondary graduate Randi Edmundson has returned to Kamloops

“We’d just wipe off the stage,” Cooper said, “and make it all work.” Thomas said the weather has only seriously affected one performance of one play, when the opening night of Hamlet in 2009 saw the play called midway through due to lightning. Last year, the weather also affected one production of The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, Thomas said, whipping things up to the point “it became a character of its own in the play.” In keeping with its new focus, both plays are family-friendly, with Munsch in particular a good choice for children, Cooper said. It’s a play many children will recognize as Prof. Pimm’s time-travel machine finally works after many failed attempts. It brings together two characters, a “hippie-chick” from 1976 and another character from 2046. Through the 60-minute play, the characters learn to understand each other, courtesy of the retelling of five of author Robert Munsch’s best-known stories, including The Paper Bag Princess. Oz is a play for all generations, Cooper said, from the seniors who remember the 1939 classic to the fans of 2005 The Muppets’ Wizard of Oz. Oz is scheduled for Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings at 7 p.m. and Munsch will be performed on

to take on the role of Dorothy and another character in Munsch. There’s a family feel with the festival; the people involved have been part of the X-Fest success for several years. Dusan Magdolen, for example, has acted in past plays but this year wrote the adaptation of the L. Frank Baum classic about the little girl, her dog and the friends she meets as she follows the yellow brick road. Josh Sunderman has been involved in the back of the house in past years but makes his acting debut this year, playing at least one character with which he has some familiarity — the Scarecrow. Seven years ago, he had the same role when Western Canada Theatre’s Stage One program presented Oz. Sunderman said it’s been an easy transition to the stage “when you can be eased in with familiar faces.” He called his Oz character “a fun little guy” and said he’s enjoying the physicality of the character who is searching for a heart — although the weather has made some of the dancing a bit challenging in rehearsals. The casts spent one week rehearsing inside space the managers of Sahali Mall donated but, for the most part, the actors have been at the park, subject to scorching heat, surprising cold and at least one day of rain.

From the beginning Happenstance led to what would eventually become Project X Theatre. Local actor and director Derek Rein read a copy of the script for The Laramie Project, a play inspired by the beating death of Matthew Shepherd in Wyoming in 1998. Rein wanted to do the play. Alongside fellow actor/director Samantha MacDonald, it was staged in 2002, the first time the play was presented in B.C. and part of the second-annual Gay-Lesbian Pride Week that year. From that beginning came two more plays the following year: In On It and Mr. Charles, Currently of Palm Beach. It was a theatrical partnership that seemed to fill a niche in Kamloops and which led the pair to incorporate Project X Theatre Production. That company’s first production came in 2004 when it presented The Two Gentlemen of Verona and, the following year, The Soldier Dreams. By 2006, Prince Charles Park had become Project X’s home and X-Fest was born. Originally, it was a festival devoted to Shakespearean plays but, in 2011, the focus changed to provide theatre geared toward families and young people. MacDonald left the company in 2010, moving on to become artistic director in Prince George and, earlier this year, moving to the Lunchbox Theatre in Calgary. Rein stepped down in 2014, telling people the company was in a good place to carry on without him. Heather Cant and Melissa Thomas took over as co-artistic producers. Cant stepped aside last fall and Project X brought on Dusan Magdolen as general manager and Andrew Cooper as an artistic associate.

The beautiful artwork of Deanna Kolbinson

his week, I had a chance to talk with emerging visual artist Deanna Kolbinson. She has an intelligent, inquisitive mind that pushes her to explore many different styles and mediums in her artwork. Like many artists, Kolbinson is modest about her paintings and achieves beautiful results in different ways. Her paintings are bold, subtle and unique all at the same time. She always surprises the viewer with what is coming next. Karla Pearce: What is your background and artistic medium? Deanna Kolbinson: I had been involved in the commercial arts since the ‘80s, designing everything from logos and beer labels to theatre posters and album covers, so the move to what I consider recreational painting was inevitable. I work mostly in oils and graphite, but also recently have begun experimenting in acrylic and watercolour. KP: When did you know that you were going to become an artist? DK: I don’t consider myself an artist. To me, that is a title that I have not yet earned . . . I haven’t starved enough, so to speak. I am flattered that people are intrigued enough to purchase my work, but in a field that has as much history and prominence, I’ll be a mere apprentice for years to come, but it’s something that I’ve loved as far back as I can remember. KP: What was it that led you to, and kept you on, your creative path? DK: My eldest brother, whom I greatly admired, loved to draw. So, in an effort to emulate him, I took to pencil and paper. My supportive family has always encouraged me. My husband, Thor, puts up with all of my idiosyncrasies, the oil smells, takes care not to bump into wet paintings, tops up the art supply kitty when it’s low and still manages to smile! So it’s really been an easy road so far. KP: Describe your creative process. DK: I don’t have a studio. I’ve tried, but I’m most comfortable in my living room with some kind of background noise a must. KP: What motivates you to create? DK: I believe there is an artist in everyone of aboriginal descent. You look around and

see all these wonderful pieces of art done by indigenous Canadians. Certainly, our heritage is one that is closer to Earth and even though mine has been obscured by a couple of urbanized generations, I feel that my relationship with the Earth is my motivation. KP: What or who inspires you the most? DK: Every time I leave my apartment, I’m inspired by something that this wonderful city of Kamloops throws at me, whether it’s someone’s junk at a yard sale or a boutique’s fine window display. There’s always food for our creative minds and this city makes it easy when the brush hits canvas. KP: What is the most difficult thing about creating/doing your work? DK: My own self-criticism. Most of my canvases end up in the dumpster! KP: What is the best thing about creating your work? DK: When I’m done a work, there is a relative sense of satisfaction, but it really doesn’t sink in until I see the look on someone else’s face. Even then I can be left troubled. I’m quite self-conscious, so it’s almost like a sense of relief when someone

likes what I’ve done. KP: What is the worst/best moment in your career as an artist? DK: I’ve been doing portraits for many years and have often been asked to capture deceased loved ones, including people, horses, dogs and cats. These commissions have attributed to some of the best feelings that I have experienced — and some of the worst. KP: What are you working on now? DK: I have been experimenting with a mix of realism and native art in my series called Integrated, a study of cultural harmonization. KP: What are your future plans/goals? DK: I am in a perpetual stage of learning, so the larger picture is something that I’m not currently in touch with. Naturally, my goal is to inspire emotion in my works and, if I can continue to get satisfaction from that, maybe I’ve reached my goal? KP: Do you have any advice or words of wisdom that you would like to share for the next generation of artists? DK: Creativity can easily be lost in this fast-paced world, so it’s important to remind our new generation that beauty exists everywhere and if you can duplicate it in a way, with any medium and still retain some of that beauty, well, then you’ve done it. If you would like to learn more about Deanna Kolbinson, you can find her every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Downtown Kamloops Artisan Market right in front of the library.

A PASSION FOR PORTLAND COLLEEN FRIESEN

TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

ortland, Ore., conjures up lots of words that start with the letter P. To start, there’s Pinots, pints, pedals, petals, paddles, Powell’s. But a recent visit confirmed the two P-words that best sum up the Portland experience are passionate people. Whether wine makers, lamp makers, distilledspirit makers, tea blenders, sushi servers, Vermouth drinkers, beer brewers, sake makers, bicycle guides, or kayak paddlers, the theme remains the same, people in Portland are not just creating a product or service, but with the creativity and enthusiasm they bring to their livelihood, they are creating a passionate life. Josh Mabry is one of those people. “I was bartending and just kind of drifting,” he said. “I knew this isn’t what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.” He saw a flyer for some classes at ADX and, “basically I tried every class they had.” ADX is Art Design Portland (a fun-hearted play on the PDX airport code), a 14,000 square foot warehouse filled with makers; People building guitars, helping local school kids build boats, conducting classes on learning upholstery, artists, and artisans, along with ongoing workshops for any interest you could dream up. It was when Mr. Mabry put together

the woodworking and the electrical that the proverbial bulb lit up with his discovery of how much he loved making lamps. For a while, he had to keep bartending while perfecting his craft. Much to his surprise, Mabry had discovered, like his father and grandfather before him, the satisfaction of woodworking. Combined with all things lamp-like, he now supports himself doing something he loves. ADX is filled with other people like Mabry, artisans excited about making wellmade and useful items rather than mindlessly purchasing them from an overstocked aisle crammed with the latest cheap goods. Portland’s favourite bumper sticker reads, Embrace Your Weird. After this trip, it’s clear to me that weird is simply another word for embracing your uniqueness and following the path to whatever gets you excited. And, if excited is what you’re looking to find, then you don’t have to look any further than nearby Oregon City. The kayak guides at eNRG Kayaking make squirrels look calm. These guys love their sport and they love to tell you that kayaking in the pouring rain on the Willamette River is a good thing. Turns out, they’re telling the truth. Paddling toward the Willamette Falls while sea lions bark and roll, a sturgeon’s pre-historic spiny ridge breaks through the waters and one of the guide’s kayak-riding dog lolls on the front of his kayak are beautiful moments that the rain does

nothing to diminish. In fact, tucked into one of their dry suits means the rain only adds to the atmosphere. Another way to embrace some of Portland’s wonderful weirduniqueness is to take a bicycle tour with Pedal Bike Tours. On my May visit, we wheeled through drifts of pink blossoms, while Sarah, our guide in a funky skirt, knee-high boots and an electric green helmet, pointed out tiny homes and funky shops. She delivered us to Smith Teamakers, a

13,000-square foot facility with a glass-fronted view of the entire process. Smith has been importing teas and botanicals for the last 15 years, creating relationships with tea growers from around the world. We drank chai on tap, and learned the finer tasting points of all things tea, while listening to the tea master enthuse about his world of tea.

life is all about finding whatever makes us truly tick and following whatever that weird pursuit might entail. By embracing that particular wonderful wacky idea and dogging it with persistence and love, we will find our raison d’etre. Visit Portland. Go for the pints, see the spring petals, drink some Pinot, paddle a kayak and soak up the vibe at Powell’s books. But, more than any of that, talk to the people. Listen to their passion. Go to Portland and prepare to be inspired.
