KGHM Ajax drilling Iron Mask claimKGHM Ajax is drilling at neighbouring

claims owned by a Vancouver junior resource company as it expands its exploration pro-gram.

Cicada Venture Ltd. confirmed yesterday it has a deal with KGHM Ajax that allows the company to drill on Cicada’s Iron Mask min-eral claims.

Company director Sammy Cheng said the two sides are working on a deal after an earlier agreement was not finalized.

In January 2014, Cicada announced it had agreed in principle to sell its rights to the Iron Mask property for $1 million in return for a 20 per cent share of profits should it be put

into production.“We’re still negotiating,” Cheng said.“I think they want to see what’s there before

they buy.”KGHM did not return messages yesterday

seeking comment.However, a company spokesman said

last year it was acquiring the claims only to advance Ajax works or infrastructure.

An industry source familiar with the area, but not authorized to speak on the company’s plans, said KGHM Ajax may be interested in Cicada’s property for purposes that include condemnation drilling — exploration to con-firm there is no ore beneath a proposed build-ing or rock dump, for example — to expanding its probable reserves to neighbouring proper-ties.

Cicada’s Iron Mask claims are immediately east of KGHM’s proposed open-pit copper-gold mine on the city’s southern boundary.

KGHM Ajax has budgeted $58 million in capital expenditures in 2015 that will include continued drilling.

Earlier this week, KGHM Ajax’s Chris Wild told a Kamloops Exploration Group confer-ence its exploration program includes what he called a “northeast extension” from the historic pit.

“We’re looking at a significant addition to the resource base,” he said.

The company intends to file its application to the federal and provincial governments this summer. Based on acceptance, it forecasts starting construction in 2016 and operation in 2019, Wild told the conference.

Health Minister Terry Lake will be at Hillside Centre today after another nurse at the Kamloops psy-chiatric centre was attacked by a patient.

Lake said he will be accompanied by B.C. Nurses’ Union *BCNU) president Gayle Duteil to meet with staff

and Interior Health Authority representa-tives.

“No one should go to work and not be safe,” Lake said.

He learned of the incident just hours after it happened at the psychiatric facility on Wednesday night.

Lake noted Hillside is one of four psychi-atric facilities identi-fied last week at a

symposium as need-ing immediate atten-

tion due to the number of vio-lent inci-dences each has reported.

He said

the plan is still being prepared with BCNU input, but noted he

wants to see it sped up in light of the latest incident at the facil-ity adjacent to Royal Inland Hospital.

“No one would say we can prevent every incident, but we need to minimize the potential,” Lake said, adding he wants to know what nurs-ing staff at the centre need to feel safe.

Lake said he’s been

told the nurse was treated at RIH and is resting at home.

The ministry is pay-ing for the project to address problems with safety at the centres.

Plans are to expand it in a second phase to look at the other eighty psychiatric facilities in the prov-ince.

Hillside has had

ongoing issues with violence toward nurs-ing staff.

In 2013, for exam-ple, there were 64 inci-dents at the 44-bed facility.

Another nurse assaulted at Hillside Centre

Police have determined the vague threats that shut down a Kamloops elementary school this week were part of a case of widespread public mischief.

RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said Summit elementary received a report of a weapon threat by way of a phone call at about 2:15 p.m. Wednesday.

“This prompted an armed response by police to ensure the safety of staff and stu-dents,” she said.

Mounties set up a perim-eter and cleared the school before removing students and reuniting them with their par-ents.

Bush said similar threats

were made at the same time to schools in other B.C. com-munities.

“This further leads police to believe this was a false call,” she said.

“These callers could face charges of public mischief.”

The investigation into who placed the call is ongoing.

Police are looking for a female trio who teamed up to shoplift items from Nature’s fare on Summit Drive in Sahali.

On Friday April 3, at about 3:30 p.m., three First Nations females entered the store and began looking around.

Store sta� became suspicious and began to watch all three females as they travelled slowly through the store. Two of the females went to a section of the store and began to ask numerous questions to the sta�. This was done to

distract the store sta�.Meanwhile, the third female began

to load items into her bag. As the store sta� were about the approach the third female, she left the store without making any attempt to pay for the items. The other two females left the store shortly after the third female had ran with stolen goods.

Police would like to talk to the two females in the photo and �nd out the identity of the third person.

If you know these two females,

contact Crime Stoppers. You will remain anonymous and only your information will be used.

On Tuesday March 31, at approximately 10 a.m., a man entered into Subway sandwich shop on Fortune Drive in North Kamloops.

The customer in front of him left a cellphone on the counter after grabbing the order to go.

The man then took the

cellphone, got his order and left the store. There is a clear picture of the thief and he is white, in his mid-20s, with short, dark hair. He was wearing a grey hoodie.

If you have any information on this theft or know this person, call Crime Stoppers. You will receive a cash

reward upon the arrest of the suspect.

The owner of the horses had even chased a woman late at night across the property, but could not catch up to the suspect. The owner has no idea why someone would be targeting the farm.

There have been suspicious vehicles that have been seen in the area. A silver-coloured Subaru was seen, as was a white-coloured, dual-wheeled Dodge pickup truck pulling a light-coloured stock trailer.

The Dodge truck with the trailer had been seem a couple of times driving slowly down the roads and the vehicle is not familiar to the area. There have also been reports of these vehicles being seen in the Pritchard and 100 Mile House areas.

A Thompson Rivers University professor said public debate on the pro-posed Ajax mine has become a dumbed-down argument pitting jobs versus the environment when the reality is more complex.

Michael Mehta, professor of geography and environmental studies, is call-ing for a detailed social-impact assessment of the proposed mine, saying the comprehensive environmental assessment doesn’t include important social values.

Mehta is scheduled to speak on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. at the university’s Alumni Theatre in the Clock Tower Building about risk, conflict and the social impact of the mine.

The geographer will also speak on the so-called social licence required by a major resource industry wanting to establish beside a city, something more than sponsoring events or contributing money toward trails. Mehta also said the federal-provincial harmonized assessment’s handful of public meetings featuring Ajax staff and consultants don’t provide for needed public input.

“The process we use in B.C. is somewhat broke,” he told KTW. “It doesn’t include, in a serious and robust way, social criteria.”

The application expected this summer by proponent KGHM Ajax will include environmental and economic concerns, ranging from jobs and impact on endangered species to housing prices and taxes.

But, Mehta said, the application won’t detail less obvious, but important, values that include recreation, tourism, aesthetics and “the symbolic signifi-cance of the site” — the branding and image the mine on the city’s doorstep may carry for decades to come.

“Artificially, this is jobs versus the environment,” he said, noting social aspects that also aren’t studied include a change in demographics a mine may bring to the city.

“All of these things are not adequately addressed in the assessment,” he said.

The man who was killed at the helm of his houseboat in a 2010 crash on Shuswap Lake was highly intoxicated at the time, according to his toxicology report.

The report, entered as an exhib-it in the ongoing B.C. Supreme Court trial of Leon Reinbrecht and obtained by KTW, shows Ken Brown had a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit to operate a vehicle as well as elevated levels of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, in his system.

Reinbrecht was charged with one count each of criminal negli-gence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm following the July 3, 2010, crash at Magna Bay following a post-Canada Day fireworks display on Shuswap Lake.

The trial, which began in February, has heard Reinbrecht’s speedboat collided head-on with a houseboat being piloted by Brown.

Witnesses have said they saw and heard a speedboat being driv-en erratically prior to the crash.

Other witnesses have offered conflicting testimony about the lighting on the houseboat at the

time of the collision.During cross-examination of

an RCMP marine-vessel accident investigator yesterday, defence lawyer Joe Doyle raised more questions about the visibility of the houseboat.

RCMP Cpl. Richard Harry said a mechanical inspection following the crash showed the houseboat’s masthead light — a white light in the centre of the bow of a boat — was not working.

“The masthead light did not appear to turn on,” he said.

That would make the house-boat non-compliant with Transport Canada regulations.

Harry said all boaters are enti-tled to expect that other vessels are operating following Transport Canada regulations and admit-ted that the houseboat was not in compliance at the time of the crash.

“The houseboat was not dis-playing all of its required lights,” he said.

A previous witness, a passen-ger on Reinbrecht’s speedboat, described the collision as “running into an invisible wall.”

Harry was the Crown’s final witness. The defence is expected to call two expert witnesses next week.

BEFORE THE COMMUTE, CHECK OUT #KAMMUTECITY OF KAMLOOPS USING SOCIAL MEDIA, CAMERAS IN BID

TO EASE TRAFFIC FRUSTRATION AS BRIDGE PROJECT BEGINS

If you happen to drive across Overlanders Bridge this weekend, take a moment to appreciate the last simple crossing from

downtown to the North Shore you will make for the next five months.

Beginning Monday, workers from Innovative Civil Constructors Ltd. will begin a $10-million-plus upgrade that will encompass not only the Overlanders’ deck, but an adjoining sidewalk, the Tranquille Road overpass and approach roads on both sides of the span.

City staff say drivers should be prepared for delays any time they choose to cross the bridge.

“Please be patient,” said pub-lic-works director Jen Fretz.

Her words are echoed on the city’s website, where a section dedicated to Overlanders con-struction updates —kamloops.ca/kammute — encourages drivers to try some yoga breathing and see the inevitable holdups as “an opportunity to find a moment of peace in our busy lives.”

Only the westernmost lane of traffic on the bridge will close to begin, city capital-project man-ager Darren Crundwell told KTW, with the possibility of a second lane closure following the CFJC TV Boogie the Bridge run on April 26.

Contractors will strip away the asphalt and waterproof membrane on the lane and make repairs to the concrete bridge deck beneath.

At the same time, they will also begin structural repairs to the adjacent sidewalk, which some-times sheds concrete onto traffic passing underneath the bridge.

Also closing down is the

Tranquille Road overpass, which allows drivers on the bridge to exit into the Tranquille Market area.

During that closure, the city will set up a left-turn signal on Leigh Road to allow traffic to connect to the area. All exits and entrances to the bridge for driv-ers heading south will still be open Monday.

Crundwell said work on the overpass will take about four weeks to complete, though that’s a conservative estimate.

The city has infrared analysis of both the bridge deck and over-pass, but both are two years old and, Crundwell said, don’t show the extent of damage so much as its location.

“If we get in there and it’s in a lot better shape once we peel back the asphalt, we may save time,” he said.

The lane resurfacing will stretch over a longer period.

Members of the public should expect 24/7 construction from the start of the project.

What portion of the work will come after that is still somewhat in question and will depend again on the damage to the bridge structure itself, which hasn’t been touched since 1989.

“That’s the thing with this project, it’ll be fluid,” Fretz said.

“What they find may very well change things. It’s not a matter of having a set schedule and just working through that.

“It’s a matter of saying here’s where we’re going to start and once we know what everything looks like — the deterioration, the order time, what do we need to replace, what don’t we need to replace — that’s when things will start to flow.”

The city hopes to finish the

project by October. While Crundwell said the

contractor’s proposed schedule would see construction run past the beginning of that month, he thinks there will be opportunities to speed up the project.

The city is hoping it may be able to use a special spray-on membrane to replace the exist-ing waterproofing on the deck, for example, that takes far less time to install.

In the meantime, city trans-portation co-ordinator Colleen Lepik is encouraging people to leave their cars at home if they want to cross the bridge.

“We’re encouraging people to look at alternate modes of trans-portation,” she said. “Certainly carpooling, but maybe getting their bikes out or walking across the bridge, and transit.”

She also encourages the pub-lic to check the city’s website or Twitter, where traffic updates will be posted using the hashtag #kammute.

WEB CAM ON ITS WAYWant to check out construc-

tion on the bridge without mak-ing a trip to the river?

The City of Kamloops is planning to allow anyone with Internet access to do just that.

Lepik said the city is setting up a webcam in the style of DriveBC, which will offer views of the bridge throughout its five-month rehabilitation.

Lepik said the webcam will pan to show all four lanes of traffic and bridge entrances and exits. Once it’s set up, the web-cam feed will be available on the city of Kamloops website at kam-loops.ca.

“People will be able to get right in there and look,” she said.

NSBIA HOPES YOU WILL SHOP LOCAL

With the overpass to the Tranquille Market about to close for about four weeks, North Shore businesses are also bracing for start of the Overlanders project.

“It’s the big breath before the plunge,” said Stephen Puhallo, executive director of the North Shore Business Improvement Association.

This week, the organization launched a buy-local campaign for the area, which it hopes will keep business moving if disruptions on the bridge keep South Shore customers from stopping by as frequently over the next five months.

“It encourages people not to battle the bridge, but to shop, stay and play on the North Shore and rediscover their North Shore businesses,” Puhallo said.

“We really want to take advantage of the congestion that’s going to happen and encourage people to check out a business on the North Shore before they go across the bridge.”

Puhallo does expect the closure will affect businesses in the area, but said because the city gave the area advance warning, people have had more time to plan in order to weather the construction.

“We feel that we have everything in place we can think of to help our busi-nesses get through this,” he said.

DIAMOND AND PITC AWAIT — REGARDLESS OF CONGESTIONMcArthur Island is home to many games — soccer, baseball and other.But, like businesses on the North Shore, sports associations and parents and

players are at the mercy of the construction project “I don’t think we can really do much at all. We’re at the behest of those prob-

lems, just like everyone else is,” said Kamloops Youth Soccer Association executive director Keith Liddiard.

“We’re not intending to make any scheduling amendments just to suit the bridge. We trust that people will have discussed alternate routes or will leave some-what earlier to get to games.

In any event, Liddiard said the schedule cannot be changed.“All of our games start at either 6:15 p.m., for the little kids, or 6:30 p.m., for the

older kids,” he said. “If we start them any sooner, the coaches can’t get there in time from work and have problems getting home and getting changed — and we can’t play them any later because it will be dark.

“It’s indicative of the fact that we only have the one major bridge that spans the north and the south although, obviously, you can go around through the highway.

“It does show how one-dimensional we are in terms of options, but the options are there and I presume people will plan accordingly.”

Kamloops Minor Baseball Association president Chris Balison echoed Liddiard’s thoughts.

“We’re just going to make sure our parents are well aware and making arrange-ments to allow extra time to get to the island.”

TO EASE TRAFFIC FRUSTRATION AS BRIDGE PROJECT BEGINS

If you happen to drive across Overlanders Bridge this weekend, take a moment to appreciate the last simple crossing from

downtown to the North Shore you will make for the next five months.

Beginning Monday, workers from Innovative Civil Constructors Ltd. will begin a $10-million-plus upgrade that will encompass not only the Overlanders’ deck, but an adjoining sidewalk, the Tranquille Road overpass and approach roads on both sides of the span.

City staff say drivers should be prepared for delays any time they choose to cross the bridge.

“Please be patient,” said pub-lic-works director Jen Fretz.

Her words are echoed on the city’s website, where a section dedicated to Overlanders con-struction updates —kamloops.ca/kammute — encourages drivers to try some yoga breathing and see the inevitable holdups as “an opportunity to find a moment of peace in our busy lives.”

On April 21, city council and staff will sit down for the first of two annual coun-cil workshops.

On the agenda are an update from Venture Kamloops, a report from city staff regarding progress on the Sustainable Kamloops Plan, a draft of the Food and Urban Agriculture Plan and a report on transit-fare options.

Workshops give council the opportunity to delve deeper into the nitty-gritty of issues and expand on the normal level of discussion afforded council dur-ing regular meeting times.

I will use this column to focus on two of the topics up for dis-cussion: the Food and Urban Agriculture Plan and transit-fare options.

As someone who grew up on a farm, I’ve always had a strong connection to food and the farm-ing community in our region.

Access to nutritious food is something that, unfortunately, many of us often take for granted. Having access to good food is critical to each and every one of us being able to reach our full potential.

Some might say a city has no place in looking at issues like food security and food sovereignty but I beg to differ.

The city employs a large con-tingent of gardeners and horti-culture staff and I would like to see a lot more of the plants those people are putting in the ground becoming edible ornamentals.

The Kamloops Food Policy Council is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and I’m happy the city is partnering more

and more and contributing to many great successes.

A few examples of projects that have happened or are under-way are community gardens, community kitchens, food banks (for those in immediate-need situations), the gleaning program and educational public-produce gardens.

These are all components of a sustainable local food system.

The Food and Urban Agriculture Plan builds on these components and offers further solutions to ensure all Kamloops residents obtain a measure of food security.

Another issue on the work-shop agenda that will be receiving my close attention is transit-fare options.

To me, funding transit is an investment. It’s an investment in reduced road congestion.

It’s an investment in fewer tail-pipes and lower levels of harmful particulate air emissions.

It’s an investment in healthier people who walk more. And, it’s an investment in reducing the need for costly road-infrastruc-

ture work.In our province, two-thirds

of the population have a driver’s licence, which means more than 30 per cent of our population does not. Whether the limiting factor is age-related, due to a financial barrier or connected to a disability, we all need access to transportation to hold a job, get to appointments and visit friends and family.

In 2011, transit fares in Kamloops were raised by 12 per cent. Ridership in our city has seen significant gains in the past decade, but that rate of increase has slowed.

Most of us have cost ceilings, whether it’s the entry cost for a city pool, the B.C. Wildlife Park, a movie theatre or transit fare.

I believe we have reached a cost ceiling for transit and a further increase will have strong negative consequences on our ability to increase ridership.

There are certainly many other ways to attract new riders to try the bus (including moving to 365-day service), but affordability is a large factor.

Both of the issues I’ve touched on have significant potential to impact the health of our com-munity.

Please feel free to contact me if you have input on these or any other issues.

VIEWPOINT

Of food and transit security

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 debate surrounding the proposed $90-million perform-ing-arts centre.

It’s a good thing the City of Kamloops is hosting a public-feedback meeting tomorrow at Interior Savings Centre (10 a.m. to noon) because there are many, many people with plenty to say about the idea.

If only comments on kamloopsthisweek.com were considered, the November referendum would be a slam-dunk defeat. But, as we know, there are far more residents who prefer to not post their opin-ions, so it will be interesting to see how the pro and con sides shake

out when the doors to the arena’s Parkside Lounge open.

NOT: The ne’er-do-well who decided to get his or her kicks by calling schools across British Columbia this week, utter threats and create unnecessary stress for students, teachers, par-

ents and police. It turns out the prank call to Summit elementary on Wednesday was one of many made to schools throughout the prov-ince — and all at about the time the final bell was about to ring.

With images of Newtown and Columbine always in mind, the response must be quick and serious, even if we know such calls are almost always pranks.

Here’s hoping the culprit is caught and punished severely.

HOT: The NHL playoffs. The real hockey season has thankfully begun and the parity among teams in all eight series could be at an all-time high. The real winner: All the pubs and restaurants in Kamloops and beyond that suffered through last season’s playoffs without the home team — Canucks — in the hunt.

Chances are business is much better this April.w

Editor:Re: Christopher Foulds’ column of April

14 on the proposed performing-arts centre (‘It’s a lot of cash, but . . .’):

I was wondering what world he lives in to sug-gest less than $100 per year is “certainly manage-able”?

It suggests his annual income must be comfort-ably above mine.

I work full-time, but my increasing house taxes, car insurance, home insurance, natural-gas costs, electricity costs, utility costs and food costs

is anything but comfortable.I have accepted the fact that, with my

income, the extent of my entertainment is a walk with my dogs and a visit with friends.

I can happily live with that, but I am not comfort-able putting out another $100 a year to fund a per-forming-arts center that I cannot afford to attend.

YOUR OPINIONA selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

RE: LETTER: KAMLOOPS DOES NOT NEED A $90MILLION ARTS CENTRE:

“I agree. $90 million could feed and provide shelter for a lot of people struggling to survive in Kamloops. Let’s look after what we have and look after the peo-ple in this city before we spend this amount of money for a few people to be able to sit in com-fort within a new facility.

“Maybe we should look at re-purposing an existing building or school the city already own into a performing-arts facility.

“Then, with the extra money, repurpose the schools that were closed and are sitting empty to make shelters and provide ser-vices that will benefit more than a privileged few.”

CITY FAILS ON WESTSYDE POOL MAINTENANCE

[speak up]You can comment on any story you read @

kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

“I am not comfortable putting out another $100 a year to fund a performing-arts centre that I cannot afford to attend.”

Editor:I noted with disdain that Mayor Peter

Milobar has claimed the infrastructure in Kamloops is well-maintained.

As a regular user of Westsyde Pool, I have seen, for years, the roof problem.

Every spring or thaw period brings out the buckets around the pool. The users, staff and maintenance workers have been aware of this ongoing problem for years.

However, until February — when I emailed parks, recreation and cultural-services direc-tor Byron McCorkell about all the buckets full of brown water around the pool — nothing ever seemed to be done.

Now there has been a quick fix of $30,000 and the city will do a permanent fix in the summer that will turn into a 15-month closure — all for a monumental price council will not even consider this year.

If the problem had been addressed as part of the city’s so-called routine infrastructure

maintenance, we would have never gotten to this point.

Senior management at parks and recre-ation needs to come up with a better answer than what has been provided to date.

Comments by parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam implied the recent inspection revealed the degree of damage.

Too bad neither Putnam nor any of his staff had come into the building a few years ago to assess the situation. Perhaps they were too busy pouring money into the Tournament Capital Centre.

Now the city has a problem and will get it fixed at a huge cost.

This is poor maintenance practise and for anyone to say they did not know of this prob-lem does not pass the sniff test.

City council passed the budget this week and will see if the Westsyde Pool project can be funded next year.

That is not good enough.

The city pegs the repairs at $1.3 million now and is going to wait at least another year to have the repair work done.

What will the price and excuses be then?Why is the city not getting a second opin-

ion now from another engineering firm?This issue has been mismanaged for years

and council’s answer is to wait another year or more.

The question mayor and council should be asking, and one I would like answered, is this: After all the upgrades and renovations to the building, nobody saw a problem that was so obvious to the people that use and work at this facility. How could this be?

Good luck with the proposed performing-arts centre if the city cannot even maintain, or at least provide answers on, existing infra-structure.

Editor:I was wondering about the circus that is the

trial of Sen. Mike Duffy in Ottawa.The federal government is cutting back funding

for programs for the public.Just think what a battery of lawyers will cost

from the minute they leave home for the next few weeks.

Lawyers’ fees will consume millions of dollars that should be going to hard-working taxpayers.

I have a solution. Initiate a mass recall cam-paign, fire the whole lot and start over.

Westsyde will keep its pool, but it will be some time before the swimming area re-opens following its annual June shutdown.

On Tuesday, Kamloops city council voted to close the pool as of June while staff investigate the cost of repairing the building’s roof, which parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said will pose a safety risk if the facility was kept open beyond the early summer.

Earlier this year, the pool, built in the 1970s, was shuttered for several weeks for repairs after moisture in the roof caused some of the wooden ceiling tiles to fall out.

Putnam said an inspection at that time found years of warm, moist air had leaked from the pool into the roof, causing significant damage and making the building unsafe for use in the event of heavy snow or wind of a certain speed.

“The wood is so saturated that it was very easy to stick a screwdriver into it,” he said.

The city pegged repairs to the building of at least $1.3 million — more should the city make environmental or ventilation upgrades to the building in conjunction with the work.

With the city’s 2015 budget nearly wrapped up, Putnam said the city will use this year to consult with the public on the project and come up with a plan for the repairs, with a goal of getting early capital approval for the project as part of first-round deliberations on the

2016 budget, which will come in December.Repairs would take about eight months to

complete.Though the pool will close, Westsyde’s hot

tub, sauna and fitness centre will remain open. Closing the pool until September of 2016

will save the city an estimated $170,000, though some of those funds will be used to cover the $30,000 the city spent on temporary repairs, which will allow the pool to stay open until June.

LOCAL NEWS

Wells Gray Park’s magnificent volcanoes, clear lakes and towering waterfalls are timeless.

The guidebook is not.

In the age of online maps and outdoor blogs, is the guidebook still relevant?

In the case of Exploring Wells Gray Park, conceived 40 years and six editions ago by author Roland Neave, the answer is yes. From the stand-point of pure informa-tion alone, good luck finding this detail on the internet.

Maps, yes. But trail access information, history, ecology and anecdotal reports all

make the guidebook both a handy reference and something for the fantasy backpacker — more at home with a book by the fire dream-ing of adventure that may never come than climbing the park’s peaks and kayaking its raging whitewater.

Neave has a deep connection to the park: A mountain inside the park is named for his father, Hugh Neave, who first climbed what was popularly believed to be its highest moun-tain until mountaineer Roger Wallis found a higher peak a decade ago; Neave’s tour com-pany is named after the park; and he owns property outside its boundaries.

The latest edition of Exploring Wells Gray

Park, which hit book-stores and retailers ear-lier this month, is the first edition that is full-colour throughout and features high-quality glossy paper full of pho-tos and maps. It fea-tures the obvious in the iconic Helmcken Falls and popular canoeing destination Murtle Lake to the remote hiking of Flourmill volcanoes and rarely visited Hemp Falls.

Exploring Wells Gray Park is fit for a snack by flipping its pages look-ing at glossy photos and maps or as a sit-down meal by reading chapter-by-chapter the park’s human and natu-ral history.

But, a better use is tucking the guidebook in the car and driving north to sample the

park’s trails and lakes, all of them named and rated in the book for difficulty — suitable for

mountaineers or visi-tors who don’t venture much farther than the car door.

TIPS

Walking is just as great as running. Enjoy the spring trees and all

the smells and sights of spring. Walking is being in the great

outdoors and is as good for the mind and spirit as it is for the body.

Way to go!

Mentally become very aware of any negative self talk. Make sure to replace this negativity

with positive a�rmations. Train your thoughts. You have done

something great for yourself and now you WILL run 5K on April

26th 2015.

Start to plan your start at Boogie. Try not to get caught up in the crowd. Take your walk breaks.

Warm up EZ. You will pass those speedsters later on in the race. You are going to run 10K with a lot of

energy and �nish power!

Running form can assist you in a faster 10K. Arms should be relaxed.

Concentrate on leg turnover vs stride length. Slight body lean. 10k

boogie here you come!

This coming week is going to be a taper week. Your mileage should be cut right back. It will be about recovering from all your training and getting ready for race day.

Congrats on your spring training. Now its time to celebrate your

21K boogie!

It’s not really about running

RUNNING COMMENTARYwith Jo Berry

Register online at boogiethebridge.comRegister in person at the Tournament Capital Centre or Save-On-Foods.

Training is getting serious now in preparing for next week’s Boogie events.

In our most recent session, we walked for two minutes and ran for three for 30 minutes, with a result of 5.17 kilometres.

A few short weeks ago, students didn’t believe they could run five kilometres. One week before Boogie, students have proven they can.

More important than reaching training goals is the lesson: With a little bit of effort, practise and perseverance, you can achieve your goals.

Students Carsen and Keagan asked their schoolmates for thoughts on Boogie training in one word. They used words like sporty, fun, amazing, entertaining, hard, happy, best experience of my life, tiring and awesome to describe their thoughts.

It is a testament to the students and staff at the school. We have one training session left. I teach students that, once you have reached a goal, it’s time to set a new one.

We discussed how to change goals without leaving behind ones we have already achieved. They don’t want to forget the feeling of their five-kilometre success.

I gave them words I use to describe their character — strong, risk-takers, determined, hard-working, focused and confident. Many students want to try 10 kilometres.

The first step out the door is the hardest, says Coach Laurel. If you can do that, the rest is easier.

Setting days during the week to run helps as having a friend to go with.

Lucky for me, Run Club Gwen and I planned to meet and try a new spot for her runs in Peterson Creek Park.

Meeting in the parking lot after work and hopping the creek, we headed up the old wagon path and followed the lower Sa-Hali trails below Bestwick behind RIH. It was sunny and warm with birds overhead and Buddy racing to check out interesting scents and diversions.

It was a lot of cardio climbing up and down those high hills.

It’s amazing such a wild natural park was planned years ago just steps from our homes and offices. I believe parks are great community connectors — even right of ways can connect neighbourhoods.

This week was run three minutes walk three minutes. Coach Laurel’s advice was again spot-on — some days you are a rock star, others you are a rock.

Every run is different but I don’t worry about how fast or how far I am going, it is enough to just do it.

I know I am not at the rock star stage yet but I am making it through the rock stage with every step.

People of varying abilities are in Run Club.

Some are natural runners, way out in front. Then, there are those training at a more casual pace.

I should have followed the latter.

Last week, I told you I had a sore knee and, by Friday morning, it was bruised.

I went to a doctor and learned I was too aggressive while training for the CFJC-TV Boogie The Bridge.

I was told to increase running by only 10 per cent and to slow down my pace.

Fortunately, with physiotherapy, I can continue running.

I want to thank Wayne Richardson of Runner’s Sole, who got me into a new pair of running shoes with cushioned support.

I have become passionate about running, even though I have never been athletic.

Not all people training for Boogie are runners. I have known Barb for years. She is in Boogie training again this year and she power walks.

I remember when I first began my training. She power-walked at a faster pace than my jogging. She has back problems, but it doesn’t stop her from getting out. She is inspirational.

Good luck to my friend from Run Club, Deanna, who is competing in the Boston Marathon in a couple of days. Cheer her on!

It seems people are under the impression the only way to become a better runner is to run harder, faster and further.

The Boogie training program is unique to other pro-grams because we use a mind-body-spirit approach, not just the physical approach.

We are into Week 6 of Boogie training and our begin-ners who started with a one-minute run just ran trails for 55 minutes and completed a six-kilometre distance.

The same goes for our two 10-kilometre groups and our 21Club (half-marathon). Everyone is succeeding and our approach works.

I can’t tell you how many people have come to me at the end of our clinic and confided in me, “This is not really about running, is it?” — at which point I lean in, put my hand gently on their shoulder, look into their eyes and say, “No, it isn’t. Running is just the vehicle. Growth, change and living a life based on excellence is the goal.”

Yes, running is important to be healthy, but so is per-sonal and spiritual growth. I think it’s safe to say we all know fit, fast, super athletes who are not-so-healthy. Boogie training is a holistic model that changes people’s perspec-tives and builds community.

Being healthy means opening our hearts a little wider, speaking more honestly and truthfully, shining brighter and loving more fully. We are kinder, gentler and open up to a life that is fun, full of laughter and connection.

The CFJC-TV Boogie The Bridge is the celebration of the goals set for spring and the event itself shouts celebra-tion. Boogie has reached its own milestones and accom-plishments. It has raised more than $1 million and has seen thousands of people cross their personal finish lines and accomplished dreams.

See you on Sunday, April 26, at the Riverside Park bandshell. We promise a fantastic time, a true sense of com-munity and a personal high-five at the finish line.

When Ethan Mohan was 12, he walked away from baseball.

Tired of the parent-coaches who relegated him to right field or sat him on the bench in favour of their own kids, Mohan decided he was done play-ing. He packed up his glove and his cleats and turned his back on his first sporting love.

“I wanted to play and I wasn’t getting a fair shot,” Mohan told KTW.

“When I quit, there were five dads on the bench and an uncle. So, there’s first base, second base, third base, starting pitcher, catcher. You’re done. You drop down to nine in the order and you’re playing right field.”

But, now 24 and three seasons into his return to baseball, it’s hard to imagine he took any time off.

Mohan, an outfield-er in his first season with the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack, is among the league leaders in batting average (.454), runs batted in (15) and home runs (two) through 14 Canadian College Baseball Conference games this season.

He also has eight triples — one of the most exciting plays in

baseball — a feat that demonstrates both the speed and power the 6-foot-1 right-hander boasts.

He and the Pack will be in action again tomorrow and Sunday, at Norbrock Stadium to host the Okanagan College Coyotes and the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners.

“It’s impressive because you can tell he was a good ath-lete,” WolfPack head coach Ray Chadwick said.

“You can see, some-times, he’s just com-pletely raw in baseball sense. He’s missing it from being out of the game for that long, but he’s such a good athlete that he just makes up for it.

“He’s so big and strong and fast — like I say, a tremendous athlete — that he just makes up for it.

“It has been fun to watch. I hope we’ll have him here for another two years. It has been awesome.”

DIAMOND RESTORATION

See MOHAN, page A15

Ken Huber is Rocky Balboa.

Huber, the new CombSport BC heavy-weight champion, shares many similarities with the famed Hollywood boxer.

He might not be the most talented boxer out there, but what the Kamloops fighter lacks in talent, he makes up for in hard work.

Huber often starts his fights slow, but comes on strong in the late rounds.

Shy and reserved, he doesn’t trash talk much.

He might not knock many fighters out, but he cripples them with a devas-tating body attack.

And, while Huber might not work at a meat-packing plant as Rocky did, he does spend his days as a full-time heavy-duty mechanic.

Yes, there’s no shortage of similari-ties between the heavyweight champs and, in true Rocky style, it was the body attack that was the key to Huber’s title-winning bout with Fernie fighter Bob Larson in Langley on the weekend.

Late in the second round, already with two standing-eight counts to his credit, Huber put Larson on his heels with a left-hook to the ribs, before leav-ing him crumpled in the corner after landing a second hook to the chin.

It was just the second knockout of the boxer’s career, his first coming in 2007. Huber’s record now stands at 28-5.

“I was on top of the world,” Huber told KTW. “I felt like I was finally at peace with where I needed to be.

“I wanted that fight so bad.”Like when Rocky fought Apollo Creed,

Huber may have been thought of as the underdog against Larson. Not only was the Kamloops Boxing Academy coach fighting up a weight class — Huber usu-ally fights about 20 pounds lighter, at cruiserweight — he stood 5-foot-11, 206 pounds to Larson’s 6-foot-4, 218 pounds.

He was also coming off a five-round

unanimous decision victory for the cruiserweight title just 20 days before.

However, Huber controlled the fight from start to finish.

Now, with two belts on a shelf in his gym, he said the heavyweight title is, quite possibly, the biggest accolade of his career.

“When it was all said and done, I felt a huge relief, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders,” he said.

“I felt I solidified, in myself, that I’m the champ, that hard work pays off.”

It was a whirlwind weekend for Huber.

He left Kamloops to weigh in on Friday morning and entered the ring to fight that night. After winning the fight, he hit the road at 11:30 p.m. and was back in Kamloops by 3:30 a.m., at work four-and-a-half hours later, title belt in hand, for a 10-hour shift.

Even Balboa took a day or two away from the plant after a win. But, Huber’s

year has been like that — there has been a lot of travel, a lot of fights and a lot of personal growth.

He said his most recent victory again shows all that can be accomplished with hard work and dedication. As an earlier KTW article on the fighter highlighted, nearly a decade ago he was hooked on cocaine and crystal meth.

Now, he’s one of the top Canadian amateur boxers.

Huber reflected on how far he’d come as he travelled home after the victory. His story, like Balboa’s, is one of a life changed through boxing, through desire.

“I never dreamed I would achieve what I’ve achieved,” he said.

“Everybody wants to be the heavy-weight champ. That’s what fighting’s about, that’s what boxing’s about.”

Huber has always been known by the nickname “Heavy Hands,” but it’s looking more and more like a switch to “Stallion” might soon be in order.

Heavy Hands a StallionADAM WILLIAMS STAFF [email protected]

Ken Huber’s story is not dissimilar to that of Rocky Balboa’s tale of boxing glory. The Kamloops fighter has overcome the odds to win two title belts.

The CFJC-TV Boogie the Bridge run route on April 26 will be altered due to construction on Overlanders Bridge.

Instead of starting on Victoria Street, the run will begin in Riverside Park, near Heritage House, and move south along Lorne Street for a short stretch, taking runners under the rail-way overpass and onto Victoria Street West.

From there, par-ticipants will take Overlanders Bridge — only one lane will be open to runners — to the North Shore.

There are no changes to the route once run-

ners cross the bridge.“It’s only going to

be single-lane over the bridge, so it’s going to be fairly tight,” said David DiFrancesco, the Boogie’s route director.

“We’re going to have a staggered start, to avoid congestion.”

The City of Kamloops informed Boogie organizers on April 7 that changes needed to be made in order to satisfy the con-tractor.

“We were sort of given the OK to go ahead as planned, then that was a shot out of the blue, but the city’s done every-thing, they’ve bent over backwards, to make sure the run is a go,”

DiFrancesco said.“It’s the way the con-

tractor is going to set up construction on the bridge.

“He needs to have a certain lane to keep equipment in or some-thing’s going to be bar-ricaded off, then the middle two lanes are going to be open for traffic.”

Drivers who take the Summit Drive switch-back down to Victoria Street West to access the bridge should know they will be diverted downtown.

“They’ll have to come back along Landsdowne/Victoria Street West and head across the bridge that way,”

DiFrancesco said.The Boogie started

in Riverside Park from 2000 to 2009.

“The distances for runners may be slightly affected, but not very much,” DiFrancesco said.

The 2014 Boogie featured 2,373 runners and raised $143,371.43, before expenses, for two charities — the Family Tree Centre and the Canadian Mental Health Association Youth Clubhouse in Kamloops.

There are one-, five-, 10- and 21-kilometre routes.

For route maps and registration, go online to boogiethebridge.com.

For whatever reason — frustration, anger, disappointment — it took Mohan nearly a decade to again con-sider stepping foot on a baseball diamond.

He took up golf, playing in a few pro-vincial tournaments, won a high school bas-ketball championship and twice represented Alberta in water polo at junior national champi-onships.

The Calgary native never thought about the fact he had quit.

In a way, the sport of baseball had become tainted, associated with memories of rejection and failure. He filled the void with other sports, a diversity he believes has made him a better athlete and, ultimately, a better baseball player.

He graduated from high school, wrapped up his sporting days and went on to univer-sity in Ontario.

But, it was at Western University that Mohan said he lost his way.

“Ontario just didn’t work with me,” he said. “London, where I was, I just didn’t click in down there.”

He felt overwhelmed and found himself becoming more and more withdrawn, intro-verted he said, rather

than the outgoing and comedic person those around him once knew.

Mohan isn’t sure why it happened, but he thinks not having sport in his life played a role.

“It was a little bit of a darker time in my life, for sure,” he said.

At the end of his third year, Mohan left Western and returned to his home in Calgary, where he took a year away from school to get himself back on track.

It was there, living with his older brother, Owen, that his road back to baseball began.

It started as the brothers were soft-toss-ing balls at a net in the garage one night.

Owen, who had also spent his youth playing baseball, watched his brother and saw the athletic ability was still there. Owen said Ethan needed to get back on the diamond.

Before they knew it, the brothers were play-ing for two different teams in two different men’s leagues, suiting up in 60 games a sum-mer just so the younger Mohan could get enough reps in. When they weren’t on the diamond, they were in

the park with a bucket of balls, Ethan tossing to Owen for hours on end, the elder brother unwilling to go home until younger had his throw just right.

“My brother, he’s my rock for this. He has done everything for me,” Ethan said.

“He finds my sum-mer leagues, he got me here to TRU, he talked to Ray Chadwick for me. He sends out emails and starts all this controversy for me in the baseball world, just trying to get me a chance, a chance to play.”

The more time Ethan spent on the field with Owen, the more doors opened. He start-ed to show the talent he once tried to tell people he had.

And, when tryouts came for the University of Calgary Dinos base-ball team, he walked on and made the junior varsity club. A year later, he was on the reg-ular roster as a bench player.

Now, in his third year back to baseball, he’s an everyday left-fielder at Thompson

Rivers University. This summer, he’ll play for the Futures Collegiate Baseball League’s Seacoast Mavericks in Portsmouth, N.H.

Ethan is excited to be having success on the field now with the WolfPack, but his return to baseball has always been about more than just playing a game.

“It has changed my life, to the point where you don’t want to ever quit playing the game,” he said.

“It just feels like it gave my life purpose.”

Ethan said he doesn’t know where life will go after his summer with the Mavericks. He could return to the WolfPack or another opportunity may present itself.

Having left the game for so long, his return to baseball has already been improbable — it would be foolish to dis-miss the possibility he’ll be playing at the next level next season.

With how far he has come since a handful of coaches dismissed him as a 12-year-old, maybe that’s just the push Ethan needs.

You may want to reduce what goes to a spouse or child after you die—or cut them out of your will altogether. Often the reasons are personal.

In one court case, a son’s illegal marijuana growing saddled his mother with a court conviction, and he also tried to have her committed. Or the reasons may be cultural. Some cultures view a married daughter as her husband’s responsibility.

But careful estate planning is critical, because some family members can challenge your will after your death.

Under BC’s new Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA), your will must make adequate provision for the proper maintenance and support of your spouse and children. An unhappy spouse (including a common-law spouse) or child (including an adopted child) can ask the court to change your will. The court can order what it thinks is “adequate, just and equitable” if the will doesn’t adequately look after them.

Tataryn is the leading case. Alex favoured Edward over his other son, John. He worried that if he gave anything outright to Mary, his wife of 43 years, it would end up with John. So his will allowed Mary to live in the home for life and gave her income from a trust. Upon her death, his will left everything to Edward. John was cut out of the will.

Mary and John went to court, and the Supreme Court of Canada changed the will. Mary got the house and the rest of Alex’s estate (after gifts of $10,000 to John and Edward). Some rental income also went to her, and upon her death, the rental property would go one-third to John and two-thirds to Edward.

In deciding on adequate provision, the court said that both the legal and moral duties of the will-maker must be met. If the estate is big enough, and there’s no good reason for cutting out a child, then, morally, an independent adult child should get something.

Since Tataryn, estate lawsuits in BC have increased.

In one, two adult daughters challenged their mother’s will. She left behind an estate worth $550,000. Her will gave $10,000 each to her three daughters (one accepted) and divided the balance equally between her two sons. In line with her native Indo-Fijian culture, the lion’s share went to the sons.

The BC Supreme Court changed the will. The two plaintiff daughters each got one-fifth of their mother’s contested estate, and the remaining three-fifths was shared between the two sons. The judge said: “In modern Canada, where the rights of the individual and equality are protected by law, the norm is for daughters to have the same expectations as sons when it comes to sharing in their parents’ estates.”

In another case, the court changed the will so a gay son received the same inheritance as his two brothers.

Whether you can disinherit or reduce the share of your spouse or child depends on the situation, but options exist. Your lawyer can help you carry out your wishes.

MUST YOUR WILL INCLUDE YOUR SPOUSE AND CHILDREN?

For whatever reason — frustration, anger, disappointment — it took Mohan nearly a decade to again con-sider stepping foot on a baseball diamond.

He took up golf, playing in a few pro-vincial tournaments, won a high school bas-ketball championship and twice represented Alberta in water polo at junior national champi-onships.

The Calgary native never thought about the fact he had quit.

In a way, the sport of baseball had become tainted, associated with memories of rejection and failure. He filled the void with other sports, a diversity he believes has made him a better athlete and, ultimately, a better baseball player.

He graduated from high school, wrapped up his sporting days and went on to univer-sity in Ontario.

But, it was at Western University that Mohan said he lost his way.

“Ontario just didn’t work with me,” he said. “London, where I was, I just didn’t click in down there.”

He felt overwhelmed and found himself becoming more and more withdrawn, intro-verted he said, rather

than the outgoing and comedic person those around him once knew.

Mohan isn’t sure why it happened, but he thinks not having sport in his life played a role.

“It was a little bit of a darker time in my life, for sure,” he said.

At the end of his third year, Mohan left Western and returned to his home in Calgary, where he took a year away from school to get himself back on track.

It was there, living with his older brother, Owen, that his road back to baseball began.

It started as the brothers were soft-toss-ing balls at a net in the garage one night.

Owen, who had also spent his youth playing baseball, watched his brother and saw the athletic ability was still there. Owen said Ethan needed to get back on the diamond.

Before they knew it, the brothers were play-ing for two different teams in two different men’s leagues, suiting up in 60 games a sum-mer just so the younger Mohan could get enough reps in. When they weren’t on the diamond, they were in

the park with a bucket of balls, Ethan tossing to Owen for hours on end, the elder brother unwilling to go home until younger had his throw just right.

“My brother, he’s my rock for this. He has done everything for me,” Ethan said.

“He finds my sum-mer leagues, he got me here to TRU, he talked to Ray Chadwick for me. He sends out emails and starts all this controversy for me in the baseball world, just trying to get me a chance, a chance to play.”

The more time Ethan spent on the field with Owen, the more doors opened. He start-ed to show the talent he once tried to tell people he had.

And, when tryouts came for the University of Calgary Dinos base-ball team, he walked on and made the junior varsity club. A year later, he was on the reg-ular roster as a bench player.

Now, in his third year back to baseball, he’s an everyday left-fielder at Thompson

Rivers University. This summer, he’ll play for the Futures Collegiate Baseball League’s Seacoast Mavericks in Portsmouth, N.H.

Ethan is excited to be having success on the field now with the WolfPack, but his return to baseball has always been about more than just playing a game.

“It has changed my life, to the point where you don’t want to ever quit playing the game,” he said.

“It just feels like it gave my life purpose.”

Ethan said he doesn’t know where life will go after his summer with the Mavericks. He could return to the WolfPack or another opportunity may present itself.

Having left the game for so long, his return to baseball has already been improbable — it would be foolish to dis-miss the possibility he’ll be playing at the next level next season.

With how far he has come since a handful of coaches dismissed him as a 12-year-old, maybe that’s just the push Ethan needs.

In a game that was shortened due to darkness, the midget AAA Kamloops RiverDogs earned a 7-6 vic-tory in six innings over the hometown Vernon Canadians on Wednesday.

The tilt was the first of the B.C. Minor Baseball Association regular season for the RiverDogs, who sent Christian McCauley to the mound.

The starting pitcher lasted five innings and gave up four runs on one hit, with four walks and five strike-outs.

Avery Holloway entered the game, giv-ing up two runs in 1/3 of an inning. Bryant Jameus relieved Holloway and secured the final two outs.

Connor McKenzie led the way at the plate for Kamloops, registering a single, a double and four RBI. He also scored a run.

Riley Jepson slapped two singles, walked once and stole a base.

The RiverDogs are next in action on April 25, when they play a doubleheader against hometown Ridge Meadows.

On April 26, Kamloops will square off in a doubleheader against Tri-City in Surrey.

The local midget squad’s home opener is slated for May 2 against Vernon at the Canada Games Field on McArthur Island.

RETURN OF THE RATTLERSAfter a tumultuous 2014, the Kamloops Rattlers are slithering into a new Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League season with high hopes. The Snakes are starting the 2015 campaign against the Armstrong Shamrocks tonight at Memorial Arena, with game time slated for 8 p.m. Kamloops looked to have a strong team last year, but struggled with numbers throughout the season. Captain Mark Jurista said a strong core of about 16 players should keep the Rattlers rolling this summer. The league is made up of three teams, the other being the Kelowna Raiders. For the complete league schedule, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com. Rattlers’ goaltender Mike Smith is pictured, with Kyle MacLennan of the Raiders streaking in on net.

PITTSBURGH — They are megawatt talents so universally known in NHL towns that say-ing their names is not required, only their jersey numbers.

In Pittsburgh, there’s 87 and 71. In Chicago, 88 and 19. In Washington, 8 and 19. In Vancouver, 22 and 33.

Their task over the next two months is to somehow navigate the ever-uncertain waters of the playoffs, where sport’s most user-friendly trophy doesn’t always go to the teams with the brightest lights, merely the har-diest ones.

It’s a push-pull that dates from the earliest etchings on the Stanley Cup. Is it better to build a team around a pair of lamp-lighting point machines (and a hot goaltender) or four effective interchange-

able lines (oh, and a hot goaltender)?

The first round marks a litmus test of sorts.

The Penguins and former MVPs Sidney Crosby (87) and Evgeni Malkin (71) face a relentless wave of New York Rangers, who happen to have the league’s best record.

The Chicago Blackhawks got Patrick Kane (88) back early from a shoulder injury just in time to join Jonathan Toews (19) in the lineup against solid if anonymous Nashville.

Washington’s Alex Ovechkin (8) and Nicklas Backstrom (19) powered the Capitals to a second-place finish in hockey’s tightest division and their reward is John Tavares and his bud-dies with the New York Islanders. The Islanders took the first game, 4-1.

The Vancouver Canucks bounced back

from a nightmarish 2013-2014 behind twin brothers Daniel (22) and Henrik (33) Sedin and now are taking on the upstart Calgary Flames, who won the first game of the series 2-1 on Wednesday.

Vancouver is host-ing Game 2 tonight at Rogers Arena. Game time is 7 p.m.

Stars win regular-season games and lots of them. If they don’t

get some help, though, hoisting the Stanley Cup becomes another matter entirely.

“They’re elite play-ers within the league,’’ Washington gen-eral manager Brian MacLellan said.

“In the playoffs, the focus becomes shut-ting them down. And it becomes harder for them to score. I think they’ll get their goals and their points, but

you’re going to need the guys behind them contributing offen-sively for us to be suc-cessful.’’

Crosby and Malkin boast a cup on their glittering resumes, but it’s six years old and growing more distant by the day for a team that struggled to clinch a ninth straight post-season berth.

Kane and Toews have a pair of champi-

onships, but Ovechkin and Backstrom have never even made it to the conference finals, while the Sedins came up short against the Bruins in the 2011 Cup Finals.

Still, the way Penguins forward Beau Bennett figures it, there are worse places to start than having two of the best players in the world in your dressing room.

“It’s hard because you have to be so aware when they’re on the ice because they can do stuff normal guys like me can’t do,’’ Bennett said. “You have to gameplan against them. At the same time, everyone is responsible. Everyone needs to contribute to wins in the playoffs.’’

And, if the great players produce great things, all the better.

NATIONAL SPORTS

MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United’s resurgence in the Premier League will be given the ultimate test when the team heads to Stamford Bridge on Saturday, bidding to halt Chelsea’s march to the title.

The league trophy is looming into view for Chelsea, which is seven points clear with a game in hand and needs 12 points from its last seven games.

That seemingly is a formality given Chelsea is unbeaten since Jan. 1 and has developed a knack of winning games without playing at its best.

Chelsea’s next two games are against United and Arsenal, the nearest challengers to the leaders and the two in-form teams in the country.

For those looking for a late twist to the title race, it’s now or never.

United has won its last six games — includ-ing victories against Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City — so is playing well enough to cause an upset this weekend, when two of foot-ball’s great tacticians go head to head.

Jose Mourinho was given his break in manage-ment by United manager Louis van Gaal when he worked as an assistant to the Dutchman at Barcelona from 1997 to 2000.

If United becomes the first team to beat Chelsea in the league at Stamford Bridge this sea-son, it would move Van Gaal’s team above Arsenal and into second place.

Arsenal is playing in the FA Cup semifinals against second-tier club Reading in a game at Wembley Stadium that runs concurrently to Chelsea-Man United.

The other semifinal match sees Liverpool take on Aston Villa, also at Wembley on Sunday.

LOUISVILLE — For the 160,000 people crammed into Churchill Downs on Derby Day, picture-taking can run neck-and-neck with betting and sipping mint juleps amid a winning field of photo opportunities: sleek race-horses, daring fashion state-ments, celebrities and the twin spires.

But this year, they’d better not use selfie sticks.

Joining a growing list of museums, music festivals and sports venues around the world, the iconic Louisville track host-ing the 141st running of the Kentucky Derby on May 2 has banned the pole-like contrap-tions that grasp cellphones and allow people a longer reach to snap their self-portraits.

Other events such as the Coachella and Lollapalooza music festivals also have banned the photo aids. Prominent museums includ-ing the Smithsonian and the National Gallery of Art in Washington prohibit their use.

Selfie sticks aren’t allowed

inside Yankee Stadium. Some English Premier League soccer teams make the devices off-limits, and the Australian Open tennis tournament discourages fans from using them court-side.

Churchill Downs encourages selfies and the avalanche of social media attention they can generate.

But, banishing selfie sticks is a safety measure to protect the horses and the massive crowd on Derby Day, track spokesman John Asher said.

“I don’t think it’s a huge sac-rifice for anybody who loves to take a selfie,’’ Asher said.

“You’ll still be able to take a selfie. You just won’t be able to take one of yourself as if your arms were nine feet long.’’

The selfie-stick ban will extend beyond Derby Day to apply whenever there is live rac-ing at Churchill, he said.

Chris Scherf, executive vice-president of the Thoroughbred Racing Associations, said he hasn’t heard of any other U.S. horse tracks banning the devices.

But, he said he wouldn’t be

surprised if other big tracks fol-low Churchill’s lead.

“Actually I would expect a lot of sports to have concerns about their potential misuse,’’ he said in an email.

At Belmont Park in New York, a review of security policies for the June 6 Belmont Stakes will include selfie sticks, said track spokeswoman Jenny Kellner.

Meanwhile, the NFL is evaluating whether to allow the devices into stadiums next season, said league spokesman Brian McCarthy.

Canadian inventor Wayne Fromm, who took out a selfie stick patent a decade ago, said he had no problem with Churchill’s policy.

“It’s prudent to limit its use because, even inadvertently, it could cause a problem,’’ he said. “We have to roll with the punches.’’

Fromm said he doubts such policies will hurt sales for his Quik Pod devices.

“It’s like saying if you can’t use your camera at a concert, does that mean people aren’t going to buy cameras any-more?’’ he said.

OAKLAND — The Golden State Warriors know all about playoff upsets. After all, the franchise pulled off one of the biggest stunners in NBA history just eight years ago.

This time, they’ll be trying to avoid suffering the same fate they once handed out.

The Warriors enter the playoffs as the NBA’s top seed after winning a franchise-record 67 games. Of course, it wasn’t that long ago that Golden State downed Dirk Nowitzki and the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks — another 67-win team — in the opening round of the 2007 playoffs.

Now Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans will try to upend the Warriors when their first-round series starts tomorrow. Atlanta (60-22), the top seed in the East, begins with Brooklyn.

Knocking off a No. 1 seed in the opening round is difficult, but it’s certainly not unprecedented. Here’s a look at some of the best eight seeds ever:

• 1998-1999 New York Knicks. The labour lockout shortened the season

to 50 games, giving the reconstructed Knicks (27-23) little time to integrate newcomers Latrell Sprewell and Marcus Camby. But when the play-offs started, they matched up against the rival Miami Heat and looked like a different team. The Knicks elimi-nated Atlanta and Indiana before San Antonio beat them in the NBA Finals.

• 2006-2007 Golden State Warriors: The playoffs are all about matchups, right? Perhaps no team proved that more than the “We Believe’’ Warriors (42-40), who were making their first playoff appearance since 1997. Golden State beat Dallas (67-15) in six games, becoming the first eight seed to win a best-of-seven series. The Warriors lost to Utah in the second round.

• 1993-1994 Denver Nuggets: Dikembe Mutombo grabbing the final rebound and falling to the floor in sheer joy as his teammates piled on him is one of the most indelible images in NBA history. The centre’s celebration came after the Nuggets knocked off a Seattle SuperSonics team that won a franchise-record 63 games behind Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp. The Nuggets were the first eight seed to beat a No. 1 seed.

She was a wonderful, loving, caring Mother, Grandma and Great-Grandma to her boys. A light has gone from here but a bright new one twinkles in the heavenly sky

Special thanks to Dr. B. Proctor and the wonderful staff at R.I.H. Cancer Clinic, for the years of special care, and also to the dedicated and caring staff and volunteers at the Kamloops Hospice for making Audrey’s fi nal days so nice and peaceful.Donations in Audrey’s memory would be appreciated by the family towards the BC Cancer Clinic or the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice House. Flowers gratefully declined.The Memorial Service will take place at 1:00 PM on Saturday, April 25, 2015 in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, 285 Fortune Dr., with Pastor Brian Arnold offi ciating.

The ShipI 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!”.

FAITH

The Beautiful SayingsE

very Sunday, sermons ring out from the pulpits of Kamloops

churches.Pastors, ministers

and priests explain the scriptures and make it real and applicable to modern life. But, the most famous sermon of all was the Sermon on the Mount, delivered by Jesus of Nazareth.

Scholars have declared it to be the essence of Christian theology, a set of ethics that has guided the great thinkers and leaders of the Christian faith for centuries.

The sermon’s opening statements are called the Beatitudes (pronounced bee-ATT-itudes).

The word comes from the Latin word for hap-piness but, because of their power and wisdom, they could be called the Beautiful Sayings.

There are eight Beatitudes and we’ll look at four in this column:

1. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Many of the Beatitudes are counter-intuitive, in that they run counter to conventional wisdom. The first is a typical example. How is it that the “poor in spirit” qualify for the richest reward — heaven?

What Jesus is saying is those who are pain-fully aware of their sinful nature and unworthi-ness, are the most likely to see the gift of heaven.

It is their innate sense of humility and, corre-

spondingly, their grati-tude to God for their sal-vation, that grants them a place in heaven.

By contrast, Jesus spoke very harshly about self-righteous hypocrites who are going to be very surprised when they are denied admission to heaven.

2. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Keep in mind Jesus’ audience consisted primarily of the poor, who were only too well acquainted with suffer-ing, loss and premature deaths in their families.

We all long to be comforted in times of despair and grief. Here is a promise from the king of kings that comfort in times of mourning is assured.

Part of that assur-ance is the gift of eternal life and the prospect of seeing one’s loved ones again in paradise.

For many, one of the great gifts of religious faith is the comfort they

receive in times of great grief.

3. Blessed are the meek, for they will inher-it the earth.

I once saw a bum-per sticker that said, “The meek will inherit the earth (if you don’t mind).”

This is another coun-ter-intuitive statement but, once you peel back the layers of meaning, it does make sense.

The original Greek word is prautes and one of its secular uses was to describe a well-trained horse — in other words, “broken” yet still pow-erful and useful as it responds obediently to its master’s commands (think of the Lippizaner stallions).

That is how a Christian must be — meek (humbly obedient) to the Lord’s direc-tions, yet courageous, forthright and useful in delivering the message of God.

But, what about the “inherit the earth” part?

This can be seen in three ways.

The Book of Revelation recounts the ultimate destruction of Satan and all evil-doers. Those who remain (the meek) will inhabit a “New Jerusalem.”

He who overcomes will inherit all this and I will be his God and he will be my son.

The second pos-sible meaning comes from research done by William Strawbridge and his colleagues (American Journal of Public Health, 87(6), June 1997: 957-61), which compared frequent attendance at religious services and mortality in a well-designed longitu-dinal study over 28 years with 5,286 people in Alameda County, Calif.

The results showed those who were actively engaged in religious practice were 36 per cent less likely to die during the study period than those who were infre-quent or non-attenders

of religious services.In other words, the

“meek” are inheriting the earth because they are living longer.

The third reason the meek will inherit the earth is that religiously observant people have more children than secu-lar people.

Vancouver Sun reli-gion writer Douglas Todd recently noted that mostly Catholic Latinos have an average of 2.75 children, while non-religious whites average 1.66 children.

4. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Theologian Karl Rohmer once said, “A mystic is someone whose life is ruled by thirst.”

Despite the con-certed scorn of atheists and pervasive apathy of “don’t care-ists”, there are still many people who are desperately thirsty for transcendent mean-ing in their lives.

This is a realm only religious belief can fill and, to our collective dis-may, a large number of disaffected young men are slaking their thirst in radical Islam.

The sad irony is that, instead of righteousness, they seem to be thirst-ing for murder, rape and mayhem.

It is people like Mother Teresa and Albert Schweitzer, how-ever, whose thirst for righteousness led them on a path of selfless ser-vice in honour to God.

God guarantees that those who seek him, will find him.

NATIONAL NEWSCirque du Soleil preparing to announce sale on Monday, says source

MONTREAL — Emotions are high at Cirque du Soleil as the company is preparing to announce the sale of the famed Quebec circus troupe on Monday even though co-found-er Guy Laliberte has yet to fully sign off on the transaction.

Employees are sad because an era in one of Quebec’s cre-ative success stories seems to be on the verge of change, said a former senior official who remains close to old colleagues.

“I’m very emotional because it’s the end of something extraor-dinary,’’ said the source, who didn’t want to be identified.

Laliberte told workers on Wednesday he had not yet con-cluded a sale agreement, which reports say would be for some-thing under $2 billion.

“To be perfectly honest, there are a lot of discussions taking place at the moment,’’ Laliberte wrote in a short email.

“However, and as I usually do, be sure that you will be the first informed if I conclude an agree-ment with new partners.’’

Sources close to the deal say U.S. private equity firm TPG

Capital is close to completing a deal that involves Quebec pension fund manager Caisse de dépôt and a large Chinese investment fund.

Laliberte would reportedly continue to hold 10 per cent of the company after the sale and Caisse another 10 per cent, with TPG holding 60 per cent and China’s Fosun Capital the remaining 20 per cent.

The new owners plan to maintain the Cirque’s head-quarters in Montreal and would expand its global operations by opening a support office in Shanghai, where Fosun is based.

While Cirque has expanded in China, there’s room for a greater presence in Asia because of demand for more live enter-tainment productions, he added.

“There will obviously be increased operations there, but by no means is this meant to be a headquarters in Shanghai. It would simply be a base of sup-port for the Cirque’s continued operations in China,” said a source close to the deal.

TPG is the world’s largest casino owner with a stake in Caesar’s Entertainment, while Fosun owns Club Med resorts.

While the Quebec govern-ment has said it wants Cirque’s head office to remain in the province in the event of a sale, Premier Philippe Couillard said yesterday in the legislature it won’t intervene in “a private transaction.’’

Former Caisse executive Michel Nadeau said the pension fund manager wouldn’t heed political pressure and would only make an investment if it made financial sense.

He said TPG, with $80 billion of assets under management in some 300 companies, is a very good manager.

“When you have these type of guys in the driver’s seat, it’s good for the Caisse,’’ he said in an interview.

The purchase price is report-edly less than what Laliberte was seeking.

But, after a 30-year run, it is natural for a billionaire entrepreneur to sell his com-pany as the product matures, competition increases and the public reacts more slowly to the offering, said Nadeau, who now heads Quebec’s Institute for Governance of Private and Public Organizations.

MAYOR SURPRISED BY RULING CABINET SECRECY BLOCKS RATIONALE BEHIND HARPER GOVERNMENT’S ADVERTISING

OTTAWA — Strong. Proud. Free. And a state secret.

The genesis of the Harper govern-ment’s “Strong Proud Free’’ slogan currently bombarding Canadian tele-vision viewers is considered a cabi-net confidence and will be sealed from public scrutiny for 20 years.

A request by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act seeking background rationale for the tagline, which is being used to punc-tuate all the latest taxpayer-funded advertising, has come up empty.

That’s because a 149-page Treasury Board submission on advertising has been deemed advice to cabinet, placing it behind a lead sheet of secrecy even the federal information commissioner can’t penetrate. No title for the submis-sion, nor a date, author or even the department that originally prepared it can be revealed.

A spokesman for the Privy Council Office, the bureaucracy that supports

the Prime Minister’s Office, would only say that the slogan is “drawn from the thematics’’ of the govern-ment’s 2013 throne speech.

Opposition critics point out the language is also drawn from the 2011 Conservative party platform and mirrors themes promoted as Conservative values on the party website and in fundraising pitches.

The theme of this election year’s Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa?

Strong. Proud. Free.“Using cabinet confidentiality on

something that should be so benign is ridiculous,’’ said Mathieu Ravignat, the NDP Treasury Board critic.

“They’ve been caught using a partisan tagline and they’re hiding behind cabinet confidentiality to avoid the political fallout.’’

No minister or department will claim responsibility for the mar-keting campaign and requests for comment from the Prime Minister’s Office were returned by the Privy Council, which co-ordinates govern-ment advertising.

SAGUENAY, Que. — The Quebec mayor who would recite a prayer at the beginning of municipal council meetings says he’s sur-prised by the Supreme Court of Canada’s unanimous ruling that the practice must be stopped.

Saguenay Mayor Jean Tremblay said yesterday he will comply with the judgment even though he doesn’t agree with it.

“I respect the decision and we will stop the prayer, for sure, but I can’t be in agreement with it after having fought for so long,’’ he told a news conference.

The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday the reading of a Catholic prayer at council meet-ings infringes on freedom of conscience and religion.

Canadian society has evolved and given rise to a “concept of neutrality according to which the state must not interfere in religion and beliefs,’’ the judg-ment said.

“The state must instead remain neutral in this regard.’’

The ruling ended an eight-

year legal battle that pitted athe-ist Alain Simoneau and a secu-lar-rights organization against Tremblay.

The mayor expressed surprise at the judgment, especially as the Quebec Court of Appeal had previously ruled unanimously in his favour.

“We thought the matter was over, considering the appeals court is the highest court in Quebec and especially as the Supreme Court only handles cases of national interest,’’ he said.

“And we thought that, in our case, national interest was a bit exaggerated.

“We were shaken by the rul-ing. I’ll tell you it was a real surprise. Unanimous. That was a surprise.’’

The judgment had an imme-diate impact in some cities and towns across the country, with Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson sus-pending prayers at a city council meeting and the mayor of Levis, Que., saying he’ll do the same next week.

The Speaker of the New

Brunswick legislature said it’s too soon to say if the decision will have an impact on the daily prayer in the legislative assem-bly.

Legislature staff are studying the ruling and will forward their findings to a committee of the legislature for a decision, said Chris Collins, who added there will be a prayer when the legisla-ture sits again Tuesday.

In Oshawa, Ont., Mayor John Henry said the judgment will not change anything in his city.

“During the preamble prior to the [counci] meeting, I ask members of the audience if they’d like to join us in a moment of personal reflection or the Lord’s Prayer and then we follow up with O Canada and then we call the meeting to order,’’ he said.

“You can choose to say it, not say it, you can participate or not participate . . . I start it prior to the meeting so it’s not part of formal council process.’’

“It started long before I became mayor and the practice will still continue.”

Recommendations for the CBC stem from Jian Ghomeshi report

A summary of the nine recom-mendations in the report by Janice Rubin, who was hired to inves-tigate the CBC’s handling of the Jian Ghomeshi scandal:

• Review and clarify policies which set out behavioural standards at the CBC, in col-laboration with the Canadian Media

Guild union;• Provide

training to both staff and man-agers on revised policies;

• Retain a third-party to conduct employee sur-

veys and independent audits on workplace culture;

• Create a confiden-tial hotline for employ-ees to report concerns

and complaints;• Improve training

for conducting work-place investigations and record-keeping of complaints and find-ings;

• Create a new “respect at work and human rights’’ ombud-sperson position that reports to the chief executive of the CBC;

• Re-examine the role of executive pro-ducers and their duties

to report improper conduct that they’re aware of;

• Better assess the ability to work respect-fully with others and make it a consideration for promotions;

• Create a task force with the union to sup-port young employees who might be vulner-able to impropriety as they seek more reli-able work and career advancement.

WCT needs kids for Mary Poppins

Western Canada Theatre is hold-ing auditions for its holiday production of Mary Poppins.

The theatre is look-ing for someone to play the two Banks children, Jane and Michael.

Auditions are open for girls ages 10 to 13 and boys ages eight to 11.

Children audition-ing will need to pre-pare a song, preferably from a Walt Disney movie, but not from Frozen, as well as a song and short scene from Mary Poppins.

Sheet music for this requirement will be provided.

Children must also

be able to sing har-monies and sight-read music.

Rehearsals start on Nov. 2 and continue to Nov. 25, with rehears-als after school and on weekends. The theatre said absences from rehearsals will not be allowed and it might be necessary for children to miss some school — for example, to do the school mati-nee performances.

Deadline for appli-cations is Monday, May 25, with auditions on Saturday, June 6.

To apply, send a photo and resume of description of previous theatre experience to Heather Cant by email at [email protected].

COUNTRY COMMANDCountry duo Sons Command plays The Dirty Jersey on Friday, May 1. The first single by Sal Plamonte and Shawn Meehan hit radio charts earlier this year and the two musicians are on the road to promote their music. Citing influences from bands like the Eagles, Alabama and Lynyrd Skynryd, Sons Command creates music the pair describes as “Bro Country.” The first single, Go For A Ride, celebrates their friendship and philosophy to just take the musical journey and not look back.

CASTING CALLAuditions for girls ages 10 to 13 and boys ages eight to 11. Rehearsals start on Nov. 2. Deadline for applications is May 25. Auditions are on June 6.

‘Hilarious farce’ coming to Stage House

Rod deBoice always loved theatre, sitting

in the audience, capti-vated by whatever play was on stage.

An audition call in 2012 for would-be actors caught his attention and, soon enough, he was in the cast for Dearly Departed, presented by the Kamloops Players.

Since then, deBoice has directed a couple of one-act plays for the community-theatre group, along with some dinner theatre, but he’s stepped up to a bigger platform now, directing the Norm Foster play Self Help.

It’s the story of Hal and Cindy Savage, second-rate actors who successfully — at first

— cast themselves as self-help gurus.

In typical Foster comedy style, their plans head off in a different direction, one that includes a bumbling maid, brassy talent agent, nosey newspaper columnist and distracted police detective.

“It’s a hilarious farce,” deBoice said of the production, which opens at the Stage House Theatre, 422 Tranquille Rd., on April 24.

Consider the open-ing line, spoken by Hal: “Closing night. Thank God. Five weeks on the same stage with Mitchell Quinty is like having Laurence Olivier for a dentist.”

As he speaks it, Cindy is reading a self-help book, think-ing they could pull it off because, as actors, “Making people believe in a fantasy? We’re

naturals for it.”DeBoice said he’s

loving the chance to

bring the play to life with his six-member cast.

Guiding him is a quote he heard about the job of the director,

making the imaginary appear real.

It means know-

ing the script inside and out, he said, as the director leads the actors on the journey.

The group benefit-ted recently when Tom Kerr, founder of what eventually became Western Canada Theatre, stopped in at a rehearsal.

DeBoice said Kerr watched the second act “and eloquently thanked us for letting him.

“So, I asked him if he had any opinions and he talked to us for 40 minutes,” sharing his own ideas.

The run continues to May 2 with curtain times each day of 8 p.m.

There is also a 1 p.m. matinee on April 26.

Tickets are $20 and are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kam-loopslive.ca.

BALONEY, WINE, COMEDY

Derek Edwards won’t be jok-ing about snow when he comes to Kamloops.

The Canadian comedian likes to add a bit of a local flare to his stand-up routines and it wasn’t diffi-cult during the Atlantic Canada leg of his Baloney and Wine tour, where a series of bliz-zards gave inspiration to jokes at Moncton’s Capital Theatre in March.

“Over 14 feet of snow,” he told KTW in a phone interview from Toronto.

“It was kind of hard to imag-ine.”

Edwards will be browsing through local headlines and taking a look around when his tour lands in Kamloops on April 27.

“It freshens up the whole act,” he said.

The comedian hails from Timmins, Ont., and is known for identifying with the ordinary working man, hav-ing gained accolades in the

Canadian comedy commu-nity since his start nearly three decades ago.

He won Best Standup Comic at the Canadian Comedy Awards, was nominated for several other awards, including multiple Geminis, and has a resume of television and radio credits ranging from The New Red Green Show, CBC’s The Debaters and Just For Laughs.

Rick Mercer once called him the funniest man in the country.

“It’s a very discomforting and humbling thing to hear some-one say kind words like that,” Edwards said.

“There’s so many hilarious dudes out there.

“I don’t put myself anywhere near the top 100.”

He looks up to comedians like Chris Rock, Louis C. K and

Norm Macdonald.“He’s [Macdonald’s] one

of the first guys I ever saw work in a small room,” Edwards said.

“It was just magical.“He took it over the top.”Edwards has been to

Kamloops before and said his show at Sagebrush Theatre will be whimsical escapism, “a cou-ple of observations and a little bit of human nature.”

The River City is the last stop on his tour, which began in Prince Edward Island in early March.

Up next, summers usu-ally calm out, he said, but he’s expecting an invite to Montreal’s Just For Laughs festi-val in July.

He will fill his time with writ-ing, radio and television, but said there’s nothing quite like working live.

“When you’ve had a good show, people are in some kind of pain when you leave the room,” he said.

Tickets for Baloney and Wine are $40 and are available at Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483 or kam-loopslive.ca.

The show is at 7:30 p.m. and runs 90 minutes.

JAZZ GROUP TO COOK UP MUSIC WITH STUDENTS

Ryan Oliver can point to the moment when he

discovered jazz. He was in junior

high school in Williams Lake when he heard John Coltrane play saxophone.

“I went home and told my folks I wanted to learn sax,” said Oliver, one of five musicians who make up The Cookers.

Soon, he was learn-ing from Michael Butterfield, “a great teacher and a great tenor [sax player].

“He would lend me CDs and I was in the horn section for his band while still in high school,” he said.

From there, it was off to Nanaimo to study music at Malaspina University

College, a trip abroad to Amsterdam to play music.

Eventually, he made his way to Toronto, where he encountered like-minded musicians Tim Hamel (trumpet), Alex Coleman (bass), Joel Haynes (drums) and Richard Whiteman (piano).

It was 2010 and The Cookers was born.

At first, they were playing a lot of the classics — people like Horace Silver and Art Blakey — but “then we started writing our own tunes and started play-ing them.”

The band is on tour now, stopping in Kamloops for a show on May 2 at St. Andrews on the Square, 159 Seymour St.

They’re doing more, though; just like a visit to Kamloops a few years ago to a sold-

out show at the Stage House Theatre, they’re going to do some workshops with local

music students on May 3 and May 4.

“It’s great fun for them and fun for us,

too,” he said.Tickets are $20 and

are available at the Kamloops Live box

office, at 1025 Lorne St., by calling 250-374-5483 or online at kam-loopslive.ca.

DALE BASSSTAFF [email protected]

The Cookers will perform at St. Andrews

on the Square, 159 Seymour St., on May 2.

Tickets are at Kamloops Live box office.

A list of events that ran in the Tuesday, April 14, edition of Kamloops This Week incorrectly stated an event at St. John Vianney, where the Old Time Fiddlers will perform live, is on April 25.

It is, in fact, on May 2. Meanwhile, it is also hosting an event on April 25, but at the Heritage House in Riverside Park.

The other day, someone asked me how quitting

smoking was going. That day, up until

that exact moment, it was going fine.

Then, as I inhaled annoyingly clean air, I had the strongest urge to scream so loud dogs in Merritt would hear me.

My pen somehow morphed into a ciga-rette before my eyes and it took all my will-power to not light the end and take a drag of the blue ink.

That was day 11. Now it’s day 17. This isn’t the lon-

gest I’ve gone without smoking since I started and it’s definitely not my first kick at the can.

It’s my third attempt in two years and my second time writing about it.

The last time I took a figurative pen to paper to talk about the hellish task, I was three months into my first attempt and lying about how much I was cheating.

I wrote about fic-tional characters like

Tyler Durden and the Pink Ladies looking suave when they lit up, which was obvi-ously the reason for my attraction to the habit — a pop-culture conspiracy.

I wrote about my triggers and how smoking occasionally was still better than smoking all the time.

I referenced sta-tistics from the World

Health Organization and Health Canada, such as 90 per cent of quitters relapse.

I was in denial about already being a part of that statistic and, soon after, I was back puffing full-time.

The second time I tried to quit, I took up “vaping.”

This was a half-baked attempt with a convenient cop-out: I

was merely seeing how long I could go without smoking if I used an e-cigarette — maybe it would work, maybe it wouldn’t.

The concept has been a hot topic.

Only last month, KTW reporter Cam Fortems wrote about the provincial govern-ment’s move to regu-late e-cigarettes, put-ting them on the same field as tobacco.

Everyone is stuck on the fact the health effects of vaping are unknown, but there is acknowledgement of its potential to be a legitimate way of get-ting off tobacco.

Well, it didn’t work for me — it just made me want a cigarette.

Now the taste of the

vapour, no matter the flavour, is off-putting.

That’s just me, though. I think many smokers will find suc-cess with e-cigarettes and legally equalizing them to tobacco is fair.

They still contain nicotine, one of the most addictive drugs, and shouldn’t be acces-sible to teens.

No one should have to inhale it second-hand, even if it is “just vapour.”

In my current (and, hopefully, last) attempt to kick the nic, I’m not relying on any aids.

I want to learn to not want nicotine.

I read Allen Carr’s book The Easy Way to Stop Smoking. Rather than discussing why we shouldn’t smoke, Carr talks about why we do and then proves all those reasons inad-equate.

First of all, I’m call-ing bullshit on the “easy” part.

There is no easy way and anyone who thinks so is wearing too many nicotine patches and the poison is seriously messing with their neurotransmitters.

Easy or not, what

Carr is trying to do is get us back to where we were: Being a true non-smoker, who no longer sees any ben-efits in the habit, who pities smokers rather than envies them.

This is sticking with me and I’m fully moti-vated by the reasons I don’t want to light up.

The truth is, I’m bitter about falling for the smoking trap and annoyed I’m writing this column again.

It’s not that I ever thought I would beat the cycle.

When I shrugged off the seriousness of taking up smoking, my dad said to me, “What makes you think you’re different from the mil-lions of other people who get addicted to nicotine and struggle to overcome it?”

I’m there now and I get it.

It’s gross, expensive and killing me.

I quit.

COMMUNITYQ: There are schools in Kamloops named after people, but the policy now is to not name them after people. Why was this policy adopted?

A: SD73 superin-tendent Karl de Bruijn told KTW in an email that it was to avoid conflict and debate over who schools would be named after.

“This goes back before Pacific Way,”

he said. “Pineridge, Aberdeen, Sa-Hali, Brock, Westsyde, Summit, etc.”

SD73 trustee Gerald Watson said the policy goes back to the early 2000s.

“The rationale

advanced by adminis-tration was that it was that the debate over the merits of a name reflecting a retired/deceased person involved in education could become disre-spectful,” he said. ?QKamloops uery

Delay dementia—could hearing aids be the answer?Seniors who have untreated hearing loss may be at an increased risk for develop-ing dementia, a loss of brain function that can affect memory, thinking, language,

of a study conducted by researchers from the Division of Otology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.The study included 639 people whose hearing and cognitive abilities were tested over a period of time, starting in 1990 and concluding in 2008. Researchers found that study participants who had hearing loss at the beginning of the study were

-mentia by the end of the study. How might hearing loss and dementia be connected? Investigators aren’t sure, but they think a common pathology may underlie both con-ditions, or possibly the strain of decoding sounds over the years may overwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss, leaving them more vulnerable to dementia.The article concludes that, whatever the

point for further research as to whether in-terventions, even as simple as hearing aids, could delay or prevent dementia by improving patients’ hearing.

BRIEFS

ALL KINDS OF VOLUNTEERING AT TRU’S CFBX

There’s one tru-ism for anyone who is thinking about volun-teering with commu-nity radio station CFBX.

“It’s hard to hit a button and make the whole thing go off,” Steve Marlow said of the equipment upstairs in the house the station calls home at Thompson Rivers University.

The station is hold-ing its annual volunteer drive, looking for peo-ple not only interested in hosting shows, but also working behind the scenes.

The drive started last week and continues to April 24, said Marlow, programming co-ordinator at the community radio station.

There are some musical — and non-musical — genres the station is hoping to see filled, espe-cially classical music and programming in other languages.

Marlow said he’s also hoping to find some people who will do morning shows and, ideally, even overnight.

Although it’s located on campus, anyone can be involved.

There is usually a mix of about half TRU students and half coming from other walks of Kamloops life.

Volunteers are trained on basic rules and poli-cies — information that is common sense and straightforward, Marlow said — and then shown the basics to run a show.

Once the first couple of weeks pass, he won’t be hovering around much at all.

“We’re not like commercial radio where you have to do things at certain times,” Marlow said.

“We’re very laid back.”Programming includes folk, roots, classical,

jazz, funk, blues, punk, metal, hip-hop and elec-tronic. Spoken-word programming ranges from social and political issues to sports and entertain-ment.

Anyone interested can call the station at 250-377-3988, email [email protected] or dop into the office at House 8 behind the Campus Activity Centre.

Work-ing shifts can upset your

body’s internal clock and overall health.

When you work shifts, you may find it hard to know when and what to eat, so here are 10 nutritional tips for shift workers:

• Eat your main meal early if on a later shift. If possible, eat your main meal before you go to work and have a small meal and healthy snacks during your shift.

Eating large meals at night can cause heartburn, gas or con-stipation. It can also make you feel sleepy and sluggish.

• Preparation is key. Eat more protein and lower glycemic carbo-hydrates.

Not surprisingly, night-shift workers often struggle with feelings of drowsiness.

Protein foods like tuna, eggs, lean chick-en, roast beef, baked beans, split pea soups, soy nuts, low fat cheese strings, cottage cheese and peanut butter increase alertness.

High-glycemic car-bohydrate foods like bread, potatoes and cereal have a sedating effect.

• Avoid fatty, fried or spicy foods. Foods such as hamburgers, fried chicken and spicy chili may lead to heart-burn and indigestion.

• Avoid high-gly-cemic carbohydrates such as cookies, can-dies, snack foods, sug-ary sweets and sweet-ened beverages.

Too much sugar isn’t good for anyone and it may be even more damaging for night-shift workers.

These foods spike blood sugars, then cause a crash, which hampers alertness and mood.

• Take your time eating. Don’t rush when you eat.

You deserve your break, so enjoy every single bite of meals and snacks.

If possible, eat with others.

• Stay well hydrated. Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration because it can help you to stay alert during your shift.

Keep a water bottle nearby and take sips even before you feel thirsty.

Low-fat milk, tea, unsweetened herbal tea and lower sodium 100 per cent vegetable juices are examples of nutritious beverages.

• Watch the caffeine. Drinking coffee, tea or other caffeinated beverages can help you stay alert, but don’t consume more than 400 mg of caffeine a day (the amount of caffeine in two cups of regular coffee).

Caffeine can stay in your system for up to eight hours, which can affect your sleep.

Switch to decaf-feinated, herbal tea or water about four hours before bedtime.

• Avoid drinking alcohol after work. A drink may make you feel more relaxed, but

alcohol can disturb your sleep.

• Choose healthier snacks. Night-shift workers often find themselves snacking to keep their energy up and this can lead to empty calories that contribute to weight gain.

Raw vegetables like baby carrots, radishes, celery and snow peas are a great way to sat-isfy the urge to snack; they are low in calories and high in nutrients and fibre.

• Stay at a healthy body weight. Healthy eating and active liv-ing play a big role in helping you reach and maintain a healthy weight.

A healthy body weight will lower your chances of getting heart disease, diabe-tes and some types of cancer.

WORLD VIEWS

TURKS MUST FACE THE PAST

It is with great reluctance I write about the Armenian genocide, as I know from

experience that what I say will infuriate both sides.

But, it is the 100th anniversary of the catastrophe this month, and Pope Francis has just declared the mass kill-ing of Armenian citi-zens of the Ottoman empire in 1915 was indeed a genocide.

Turkey, predict-ably, has responded by withdrawing its ambassador from the Vatican.

Well, what a sur-prise — we’ve been listening to this argu-ment for several generations now and it rarely gets much further than “Yes, you did!”

“No, I didn’t!” Unfortunately, I

know a lot more about it than that.

Ages ago, when I was a history graduate student doing research about Turkey’s role in the First World War, I got into the Turkish General Staff Archives in Ankara and found the actual telegrams (written in the old riqa script) that went back and forth between Istanbul and eastern Anatolia in the spring of 1915.

Later, I saw the British and Russian documents on their plans for joint action with Armenian revolu-tionaries in the spring of 1915, so I also know the context in which the Turks and Armenians were act-ing. And, I can say with some confidence, both sides are wrong.

There was an Armenian genocide. Of course there was.

When up to 800,000 people from a single ethnic and religious community die from violence, hunger or exposure in a short time and are under guard by armed men from a different eth-nicity and religion at the time, it’s an open-and-shut case.

(Today’s Armenians say 1.5 million died in 1915, but that’s too high. It could be as few as a half-million, but 800,000 is plau-sible.)

On the other hand, the Armenians des-perately want their tragedy to be seen in the same light as the Nazi attempt to exter-minate the European Jews and won’t settle for anything less.

But, what hap-pened to the Armenians was not pre-planned by the Turkish govern-ment and there was provocation from the Armenian side.

That doesn’t remotely begin to jus-tify what happened, but it does put the Turks in a somewhat different light.

A group of junior officers called the Young Turks seized control of the Ottoman empire in 1908 and their leader, Enver Pasha, foolishly took the empire into the First World War at Germany’s side in November 1914.

He then led a Turkish army east to attack Russia, which was allied to Britain and France.

That army was destroyed in the deep snow around Kars — only 10 per cent of it got back to base — and the Turks pan-icked.

The Russians didn’t follow right away — poor generalship — but, the Turks had almost nothing left to stop them if they did.

The Turks scram-bled to put some kind of defensive line together, but

behind them in east-ern Anatolia were Christian Armenians who had been agitat-ing for independence from the empire for decades.

Various revolution-ary Armenian groups had been in touch with Moscow, offer-ing to stage uprisings behind the Turkish army when Russian troops arrived in Anatolia.

Learning the Turks had retreated in dis-array, some groups assumed the Russians were on their way and jumped the gun.

Similarly, the Armenian revolu-tionary groups fur-ther south, near the Mediterranean coast, were in contact with the British command in Egypt and had promised an upris-ing to coincide with planned British land-ings on the Turkish south coast near Adana.

Quite late in the day, the British switched their planned invasion much further west to Gallipoli but, once again, some of the Armenian revolu-tionaries didn’t get the message in time and rebelled anyway.

Pasha and his col-leagues in Istanbul simply panicked.

If the Russians broke through in eastern Anatolia, all the Arab parts of the empire would be cut off.

So, they ordered the deportation of all the Armenians in the east to Syria — over the mountains, in winter, on foot. (There was no railway yet.)

And, since there were no regular troops to spare, it was mostly Kurdish irregulars who guarded the Armenians on the way south.

The Kurds shared eastern Anatolia with the Armenians, but theneighbours had never

been friendly. So, many of the

Kurdish escorts assumed they had free license to rape, steal and kill and, between that, the lack of food and the weather, up to half the deportees died.

To the extent that the Turkish gov-ernment knew about it, it did nothing to stop it.

More Armenians died in the sweltering, disease-ridden camps they were confined in once they arrived in Syria.

It was genocide through panic, incom-petence and deliberate neglect, but it can-not be compared to what happened to the European Jews.

Indeed, the large Armenian community in Istanbul, far from the military operations in eastern Anatolia, survived the war virtu-ally unharmed.

If the Turks had only had the sense to admit what really hap-pened 50 or 75 years ago, there would be no controversy now.

The only duty of the current generation is to acknowledge the past, not to fix it (as if they could).

Instead, there has been a 100 years of blank denial, which is why the issue is still on the international agenda.

It will stay there until the Turks finally come to terms with their past.

Also, 100 Men Who CareThe women have hit their

100-member goal and now the men are being invited to step up, too.

Following the creation of the philanthropic group 100 Women Who Care, Norm Reed is holding a meeting for men who wish to join 100 Men Who Care.

Reed, a chemistry professor at Thompson Rivers University, said the club would follow the women’s model, with quarterly meetings at which members donate $100 to a charity the group will choose.

Non-profits and charities are nominated and the names go into a hat.

Just before the meetings, three are drawn and each nomi-nee is invited to give a five-

minute presentation about the charity.

Members vote and the suc-cessful organization gets the cheques.

Only organizations that can issue tax receipts and which have been in existence for at least a year can partici-pate.

The winners are invited back to the next meeting to tell the members how the money was used.

Reed has scheduled the inau-gural meeting for Monday, April 27, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., at Desert Gardens Community Centre, 540 Seymour St.

For more information, he can be reached at 250-573-4109 or 250-828-5451.

Of all the crazy, silly fads these days,

the silliest has to be the anti-vaccination crowd.

Apparently, there are folks out there who are more concerned about their kids eat-ing gluten than they are about them getting smallpox.

So, it seemed to me perhaps we need a new superhero to battle the dark forces of those who can’t stand the thought of little Johnny being subjected to a little prick in the arm once or twice a year.

And so, ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to — Super Prick.

He leaps over tall viruses in a single bound, is faster than a speeding epidemic and is more powerful than a homeopathic loco-motive.

Now, let’s start by dispelling some of the downright lies being told about vaccines:

1. Vaccines can cause autism and/or mental retardation.

This seems to be the reason often give by otherwise reasonable people.

The study that claimed a link has long since been debunked and the author

discredited. There is no link

regardless of what you may read on Facebook.

Because, after all, isn’t Facebook a bet-ter place to get medical information than your doctor?

Many of the symp-toms of autism and other neurocognitive disorder symptoms onset at around the same age at which vac-cines are being given.

This does not imply causation but, rather, represents coinci-dence.

There are instances in which multiple members of one family have autism.

A perfectly reason-able explanation could be genetics, but this is often overshadowed by the vaccine debate

2. There are all kinds of toxic chemicals in vaccines.

This is another claim that actually has

no basis in fact. The chemicals

often associated, such as mercury, have not been present in vac-cines for quite some time.

Others, such as MSG or formaldehyde, are not present or are present in such small quantities that they are deemed completely safe.

3. Diseases, such as measles, are just a nor-mal part of growing up, so my kids don’t need to be protected from them.

True, for some kids or even most kids, but, for small children and babies, measles can result in permanent damage and death.

Not protecting chil-dren with a simple vac-cination can put other children in danger.

As we have seen recently in California and closer to home in the Fraser Valley, measles outbreaks can have serious con-sequences for some children.

4. Vaccines lead to a weaker immune system because the vaccines do the work your own body should be doing.

This represents such a fundamental misunderstanding of how vaccines work that it’s hard to give it any credibility at all.

Vaccines use your body’s immune system by introducing the dis-ease or virus in a non-active form.

Your own immune system produces the

antibodies and, in effect, does all the work. That’s why you don’t need constant boosters.

4. God will take care of my children so, if it is his will they get sick and die, so be it.

Need I say more ?It’s amazing that

some parents are concerned about kids bringing peanuts to school, but not worried about unvaccinated kids bringing diseases to school.

Should vaccines be mandatory?

Absolutely. Do you remember

when we were kids and we all got polio?

No, you don’t because we were marched down to the gym and given a shot.

How about TB? Remember when all

your friends had that? No, you don’t

because, thanks to vac-cines, you didn’t get TB or polio or myriad other potentially dead-ly diseases.

Please don’t fall for anything you hear or see on Facebook or from so-called celebri-ties.

If you want to know the facts about vacci-nations, ask your doc-tor and stay tuned for more insightful quotes from Super Prick.

Oh — and get your kids vaccinated.

You can’t say we weren’t warned.

Upon announc-

ing our pending trip to Finland, the cautions came thick and fast.

The well-intentioned advisories all sounded fairly similar, the gist of which was this: People in Finland are reserved, rarely smile and like to keep to themselves.

I’m not sure where those Finnish people were hiding, but in our four days in Helsinki, we had to practically beat the helpful Finns off with a stick. The minute we’d stop with our map and our semi-functional compass, someone would stop to help us with directions.

Maybe they couldn’t stand how hopeless we looked, as we stood, mouths agape, in our futile attempt to try to pronounce some multi-syllabic street name like Mannerheimintie or Nordenskioldinkatu, or while looking for Temppeliaukion Kirkko (a church hewn from solid stone with a stun-ning copper-stripped roof).

It is probably worth mentioning every sin-gle person that helped us was female.

Maybe it’s because Finnish men, like men everywhere, can’t toler-ate the idea of giving directions any more than they can asking for them. Whatever the reason, by the second

day we were comfort-able knowing we’d never be truly lost—there would always be another blond woman standing by to assist.

Helsinki is a city stuffed full of museums and galleries, but it was our visit to the centrally located Ateneum Art Museum that felt like a clue to all this female help.

The regular collec-tion covered wonder-ful moody Finnish art from the 1750s to the 1960s, but the special exhibit introduced us to Finland’s most beloved artist, Tove Jansson. It didn’t take long for us to understand why.

Jansson’s output was prolific but, by far, her most popular art was produced from her Moomin children’s books. The series has been translated into 45 languages. Her art ranged from brave satirical magazine cov-ers that dared to make fun of Hitler, to incred-ible evocative oil and pastel self-portraits, novels, short stories and comic strips.

Jansson was born in 1914 and died, after a lifelong love affair with cigarettes, of lung can-cer in 2001. Her lifetime partner was Tuulikki Pietila. The two women often collaborated on artistic projects.

Perhaps the revered role model of Jansson, who is often described as “fiercely indepen-dent,” is one of the

reasons Finnish women were so confident with their help and with their dramatic sense of edgy style.

Stockmann might provide another clue. Stockmann is the iconic Helsinki depart-ment store that covers everything from luxury brands to groceries, but the bookstore (oh my, that bookstore!) is where Stockmann truly shines. Combine a Finnish literacy rate of 100 per cent with three

floors of books and magazines that gleam on endless shelves, and you can see why Stockmann books is a destination unto itself and might be one more reason all those blondes have such a keen sense of direction and street smarts.

Then again, it could be all that coffee.

Finns are one of the world’s biggest coffee drinkers. Most Finns drink an average of six cups each day. Helsinki

has an endless supply of independent coffee cafes from which to choose.

They also happen to be the biggest con-sumers of ice cream in Europe.

Sounds like a pretty happy combination—maybe their habit of having a sauna (a daily habit for many Finns) melts off all that cream.

Like many hotels in Helsinki, our stay at the fabulous Glo Hotel Art, housed in a former

poly-technical house from 1903, had its own sauna in the turret. It’s a gloriously restorative way to transition from a day of sight-seeing to your evening feast of reindeer.

Which brings me to the food — it’s deli-cious and healthy brain-enhancing food. The dark Finnish bread is a meal unto itself, and the cloudberries, whether as a jam or enhancing a dessert, are a heavenly stan-dard. Like the delicious renditions of reindeer, salmon is another menu staple.

Helsinki is simply awash in endless pick-

led, brined and other-wise tastily-rendered salmon, whether in the wonderful wood mar-ket halls like Hakaniemi or on restaurant menus.

It made me wonder why we don’t have as many creative ways to serve salmon back in Vancouver.

I think we could take a few lessons from the Finns. I’m pretty sure they’d be willing to help — especially the women.

Application for a(n) Permit Amendment Under The Provisions of the Environmental Management Act

New Gold, New Afton Mine, 948 Station Main, Kamloops BC, V2C 5N4, intends to submit this application to the Director to authorize the discharge of air emissions from an underground copper-gold mine and processing facility. The source(s) of discharge are the underground mine, ore transfer works, processing plant, batch plant, assay lab and supporting infrastructure.

The land upon which the facility is situated and the discharge will occur is Mining Lease 546063, District Lot 6465, Kamloops Division Yale District, West of the Sixth Meridian, located at 4050 TransCanada Highway West, Kamloops BC, V1S 2A9, within the Thompson-Nicola Regional District.

Currently the permit identifies a volume of air emissions associated with the underground crusher and a specific portion of the mine. New Gold is seeking to change this discharge point to the exhaust fans, which essentially captures all air exiting the mine. The amendment will also align the permit with minor operational changes since completion of the commissioning phase.

The maximum rate of air emissions discharged from this facility will be 31455 m3/minute. The operating period for this facility will be 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. The air emissions will consist of particulate matter. The type(s) of treatment to be applied to the discharges may include: dust collectors, scrubbers, water sprays, chemical dust suppressants and surface treatments.

Any person who may be adversely affected by the proposed air emission of particulate and wishes to provide relevant information may, within 30 days after the last date of posting, publishing, service or display, send written comments to the applicant, with a copy to Stephanie Huska, Senior Environmental Protection Officer, at 400 – 640 Borland, Williams Lake, BC, V2G 4T1, [email protected].

The identity of any respondents and the contents of anything submitted in relation to this application will become part of the public record.
