Welcome to the Harley Capital of Canada

By Jeremy DeutschSTAFF REPORTER

[email protected]

For the next few days, Kamloops will be briefly transformed from Canada’s Tournament Capital to the nation’s biker capital.

More than 1,000 bikers from around the coun-try and continent have flocked to the city for the 16th annual Canadian National Harley Owners Group (HOG) Rally.

The three-day event, which runs from today (Aug. 25) to Saturday, Aug. 27, and is expected to draw 1,200 riders, is an opportunity for hard-core Harley fans and HOG members to meet, socialize and, of course, ride.

The HOG, which is affiliated with the Harley-Davidson corporation, is essentially a group of Harley owners with local chapters across the country, including one in Kamloops.

The event’s organizing committee arrived in the city earlier this week and its members like what they have seen.

“The scenery is absolutely stunning. We wouldn’t wish for more,” said Alex Carroni, a spokeswoman for Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada.

“We’re really looking forward to it.”Kamloops was chosen for the national rally

because the area offers superb riding roads.It promises to be a busy stretch of days as a

host of events are planned, including a show-and-shine and biker bingo.

There will also be a parade starting at the McArthur Island Sports Centre and a closing cer-emony at the Tournament Capital Centre.

HST referendum results released tomorrowThe fate of the controversial harmo-

nized sales tax will be known tomorrow.Elections BC said the results of the

referendum on the future of the tax will be released to the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly.

That will be followed by a news release that will be sent to media outlets across B.C..

In addition, Elections BC will post referendum results on its website at electionsbc.ca.

The HST is a tax that combines the seven per cent PST and five per cent GST and resulted in about 20 per cent of prod-ucts rising in price via a hike in taxes, to 12 per cent from five per cent.

Opposition to the tax was immediate following its surprise introduction imme-diately after the B.C. Liberals’ May 2009 election victory.

The referendum was forced after for-mer premier Bill Vander Zalm and Chris Delaney were successful in their petition

drive across the province last year.Of the province’s three-million eligible

voters, 51 per cent sent in a ballot on the HST question.

A simply majority is required to keep or extinguish the tax.

Premier Christy Clark announced a phased-in reduction of the tax to 10 per cent by 2014, while Finance Minister Jim Flahert has said Ottawa would expect B.C. to repay the $1.6-billion it received when signing onto the tax system in 2009.

Ayami Asada wants to be an early-childhood education teach-er in her homeland of Japan.

To do that, she’s registered with Thompson Rivers University, where she’ll take all the courses, read the assignments and com-plete the tests and exams.

But, she may have got her real education on Wednesday, Aug. 23, when she and five other international students visited Enriched Day Care in the Sahali Centre Mall.

The visit came about after staff with the TRU World depart-ment approached the day care about opening its doors to about 30 international students interested in early-childhood educa-tion.

It was a natural to do, said day-care owner Renee Murakami.It fits in with the day care’s programming, which includes

not only teaching their youngsters about other countries, but also providing instruction in Mandarin and Spanish.

“They’re interested in the world, Murakami said, “and I think it’s important for our children to see people of colour, to know there are many colours that make up our world.”

She’s seen it in her own world.Married to a Japanese person, her children share that genetic

— and cultural — makeup, but they were surprised when they met Japanese cousins, wondering why their eyes were different.

“We try to expose the kids here to cultural experiences,” Murakami said.

As for Asada, she’s looking forward to her studies and head-ing back to Japan to work with little children.

And, after talking with a reporter, she got right to work.She took one of those too-small-for-an-adult chairs, scrunched

up next to the too-small-for-adult tables and started helping the youngsters paint the world — in a rainbow of colours.

About 30 TRU World students interested in early-childhood education spent some this week at the Sahali Shopping Centre day care, interacting with the children. Jeremy Deutsch/KTW

By Tim PetrukSTAFF [email protected]

They’re hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst.

That’s the word from School District No. 73, with less than two weeks until students head back to the classroom and no resolution to the ongoing B.C. Teachers’ Federation contract talks in sight.

“We have to prepare for any scenario for the opening of the school year,” district superinten-dent Terry Sullivan told KTW. “We have to pre-pare our principals and prepare the system. We just have to try to antici-pate what might happen.”

In June, B.C. teach-ers voted 90 per cent in favour of job action.

The BCTF is looking for improved wages and benefits, better working conditions, more prep time and the ability to deal with specific issues on a local level.

Talks between union representatives and a bargaining group for the B.C. government resumed on Tuesday, Aug. 23, but no real progress had been reported.

Speaking at the BCTF’s summer confer-ence in Kamloops this week, union president Susan Lambert said she will not accept a deal unless it includes higher wages, better benefits and

classroom improvements.Kamloops-Thompson

Teachers’ Association president Jason Karpuk has called a meeting for Sept. 6 to let area teach-ers know what the job action will entail.

“We’re hopeful. We’re always optimistic. But, the reality is we’re going to inform our members on Sept. 6,” he said.

“We’re going to do things to make manage-ment’s life more difficult. Hopefully, it won’t affect students.”

The job action is expected to see teachers continuing to teach as normal, but not perform administrative duties — such as taking part in staff meetings and tabu-lating attendance figures.

Karpuk said the local teachers he has talked to are all on the same page.

“I’ve heard from teachers that they’re ready to go,” he said.

“There’s questions always about what it might look like, but they’re on board.”

The BCTF has said the job action could turn into a strike if the provincial government legislates an end to the work-to-rule campaign.

Sullivan said SD73

staff are working to

ensure the “adult prob-

lems” don’t impact stu-

dents.

“I would rather not

spend my time having to

prepare for different pos-

sibilities,” he said.

LOCAL NEWSKGHM Ajax and Abacus Mining and Exploration Corp. the company that is seeking approval to open the Ajax mine south of Aberdeen, has set up an office at 330 Seymour St. in downtown Kamloops. Abacus president and CEO Jim Excell said the purpose of the office is to ensure residents can get accurate and complete information about the project. Jeremy Deutsch/KTW


[email protected]

There is a new tenant in the down-town core that will likely get a lot of attention from residents in the coming months.

KGHM Ajax and Abacus Mining and Exploration Corp. has set up an office at 330 Seymour St., as the com-pany behind the proposed mine project works its way through the environmen-tal-approval process.

Abacus president and CEO Jim Excell told KTW the purpose of the office is to ensure residents can get accurate and complete information about the project south of Aberdeen.

The office has a receptionist and staff of three on hand to answer ques-tions, along with materials for people to take home.

“We’re trying to build an open, hon-est and transparent relationship with the community,” Excell said.

“This is one of the ways we see it helping to achieve that goal.”

The office opened on Aug. 15.Excell said there is plenty of mis-

understanding about mining in general, noting it’s not unusual for companies with large projects to open an informa-tion office.

The company hopes to keep some sort of presence in the downtown permanently if the mine is eventually approved.

“Having the ability for some place to go and ask questions is important and that’s what our office is intended to do,” Excell said.

He also noted in the first week, the company received numerous resumes from people looking to work at the proposed mine.

The company is accepting the resumes, but Excell said it could be

a considerable length of time before hiring starts.

Located within the City of Kamloops boundaries and two kilome-tres from a pair of Aberdeen elemen-tary schools, the Ajax mine operation would stretch west to the Coquihalla Highway and is part of the old Afton Mine site.

The mine is expected to produce about 50,000 tons of copper and 100,000 ounces of gold per year for the life of operation, which is predicted to be 23 years.

Before it can move ahead, the proj-ect must go through both a provincial and federal environmental review. But, as soon as word of the project spread, so did opposition.

A group called the Kamloops Area Preservation Association (KAPA) is in the process of setting up a website — stopajaxmine.ca — and is looking for people to join its cause.

The group has also applied to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, which is providing $50,000 to assist groups or individuals to par-ticipate in the federal environmental-review process.

Excell said he’s heard the concerns from opponents, but he asked residents to use the new KGHM office to get information and make up their minds.

However, he added, he knows some minds will never be changed.

As for the environmental-review process, another public meeting is expected to be scheduled for the fall, which will give residents a chance to have input on the table of contents for the environmental-impact statement.

In July, the city sent an 11-page let-ter to mining company consisting of questions the city wants answered as the project winds through the environ-mental-assessment process.

Life is getting a bit more purrfect for Momma and her kittens.

The Aug. 9, edition of KTW featured a story about Kyle Bade and his girlfriend, Carly Logan, and the feline family they saved just outside Kamloops.

On Aug. 7, Bade and Logan were driving from Paul Lake to their home in Sahali when Bade spotted what he thought was a coyote in the middle of the highway.

But, the animal’s eyes seemed awfully low to the ground.

As Bade got closer, he realized it was a kit-ten. Then he saw anoth-er one. And another one. And what appeared to be their mother.

Bade wrangled the animals — five in total — into his vehicle with the help of Logan and his cousin, and took

them home.A few days later,

Barbara Zibrik read the story of the rescue in KTW and pounced into action.

Zibrik, president of the Kamloops Humane Society, contacted Bade and Logan and offered help.

She met with the couple and was intro-duced to Momma — the name given to the mother cat by Bade and Logan — and the kit-tens.

“Momma wasn’t much more than a kitten

herself,” Zibrik said.“They were all

friendly and affection-ate.”

Zibrik, Bade and Logan developed a plan of action, while Momma and the kit-tens were given a big-ger litter pan, top-shelf cat food, toys and a scratching post to keep them busy.

Dr. Diane McKelvey at the Kamloops Veterinary Clinic was contacted by Zibrik and offered to provide free vet exams for all five cats.

The entire family was found to be healthy and well cared for.

The Kamloops Humane Society then paid to have Momma and the kittens spayed, neutered and tattooed.

Today, they’re all rested up and ready for adoption.

Bade and Logan have decided to keep one of the kittens, while a neighbour is going to take another one.

But, starting tomor-row (Aug. 26), the two remaining kitties will be available for adoption at Total Pet on Tranquille Road.

Momma is still rest-ing and won’t be ready for adoption for a few weeks.

All adoption fees at Total Pet will go to the Kamloops Humane Society.

Anyone looking for more information about the animals can call the society at 250-376-1366.

Cats ready to be adopted

Be Bear AwareFruit is a natural food for bears, but when they have access to domestic fruit this can cause bears to form an association between people and food. Here are some prevention tips:

Pick fruit daily as it ripens or before it ripens if you don't intend to use it. Avoid letting fruit fall on the ground and rot.Freeze fruit to compost later rather than over-loading your compost with fruit.Where bears have been a problem, consider picking all fruit early and let it ripen indoors.Consider donating your fruit to the Kamloops Food Bank if you do not intend to use it.Fruit can also be donated to the BC Wildlife Park.

Call the 24 hour conservation officer hotline at 1-877-952-7277 to report bear sightings or conflicts. Until Nov 30th, residents are reminded not to put curbside garbage containers out before 4 am on collection day and not to accumulate or improperly store bear attractants. Violaters are subject to a $100 fine.

Check out the new bear sightings map on the City's Bear Aware page at www.kamloops.ca/garbage/bearawarebylaw.shtml.

It may be the dog

days of summer but,

for a group hoping to

stop the Lorne Street

parkade, these are busy

times.

Friends of Riverside

Park (FOR), a group

leading the counter-

petition process against

the Lorne Street

parkade project, has

been meeting and plot-

ting strategy for the

upcoming campaign.

FOR member Bob

Gamble said the group

has formed a committee

to co-ordinate volun-

teers and plans to be at

the Kamloops Farmers’

Market throughout the

30-day campaign.

“We’re just put-

ting the organization together, is what we’re doing,” he said, noting the group has about 20 core members, with anther 20 residents say-ing they will help if needed.

On Aug. 9, city council sent a borrow-ing bylaw to a third reading, which will allow the city to borrow $8 million to complete construction of the controversial parkade at Riverside Park.

When the bylaw gets the final approval from council on Aug. 30, it will trigger the alternative-approval process, which gives opponents 30 days to gather 10 per cent of the electorate’s signa-tures, forcing council to drop the project or send

it to referendum.FOR is expecting

to have the petition by Aug. 31.

Petition will be made available on the city’s website, but will need to be printed out and signed and mailed or delivered to city hall.

Petitions will be available at city hall, but city council refused a request to also make them available in other city buildings through-out Kamloops.

Gamble said the group will be asking council to reverse its decision.

FOR plans to kick off the signature drive on Aug. 31 at the final Music in the Park event of the summer.

There were 64,310 eligible voters in

Kamloops in 2008, which means the group will need about 6,500 signatures.

Gamble said a big challenge for the group is telling residents they have a choice and that the parkade is not a done deal.

“There’s an oppor-tunity to have a say in whether or not this project goes ahead,” he said.

“That’s what this petition is all about.”

In May, council decided to proceed with a two-level, 350-stall parkade in the Lorne Street parking lot adja-cent to Riverside Park.

The parkade is esti-mated to cost $7.8 mil-lion, with the project expected to go to tender in late December.

Council showing its petty side

Publisher: Kelly [email protected]: Christopher [email protected]

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKVIEWPOINT

There was a time, back in the early days of the province’s Local Government Act, when a counter-petition process required five per cent of voters’ signatures to force a referendum or kill a project.

The fact that threshold has since been raised to a difficult-to-attain 10 per cent is tough enough.

That city council has thus far refused to make petitions avail-able at various city facilities is simply mean and unnecessary.

City council plans on borrow-ing $8 million to build a parkade

on a parking lot next to Riverside Park.

There is opposition to the plan,

which is why a group called the Friends of Riverside Park (some members of whom are linked to the Kamloops Voters Society) want to kill the project through the counter-petition proposal.

With the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters needed to be collected in only one month as of Aug. 31, and with about 6,500 signatures needed to be secured, the task is daunting.

When the group asked city council to make petition forms available in city facilities across Kamloops, council refused.

The Friends of Riverside Park will ask again at the Aug. 30 council meeting.

If city council again refuses, it will expose itself as being a petty, vindictive group.

The majority of council favours the parkade plan.

We get that.But, the counter-petition pro-

cess is democracy in its rawest form, albeit a form designed to fail by the powers-that-be in Victoria.

There is no reason petition forms should not be on the coun-ters at city hall, at the Tournament Capital Centre, in arenas and anywhere else the public accesses city buildings.

The cost will be limited to the paper on which petitions are printed. The cost in November to a council seen as arrogant?

Could be substantial.

Who will fi ll Jack’s shoes?R

EVELATION TIME: I didn’t vote NDP in the last federal election.

Yet, as I write this col-umn, I’ve got the CBC video stream-ing online, showing nothing but a neverending queue of people who stand before a coffin covered with a Canadian flag and close their eyes.

Some pray.Some cross themselves.Some touch the flag.Some just stare.Some weep. The silence in a building that seems

to never be silent is awe-inspiring.If I were in Ottawa today, I’d be in

that lineup to thank Jack Layton for inspiring my older kids to vote.

Heck, one of them changed politi-cal parties, yanking the Conservative sign of his incumbent uncle out of his front lawn and replacing it with orange.

Years ago, a couple of friends, knowing I spent the bulk of my life in Ontario, asked if I’d ever heard of this “Layton guy.”

They had heard he might want to run for leadership of the federal NDP party and, being NDPers, they were curious.

The Layton I remembered then was the city councillor and I told him he was a hard worker who was willing to take on causes that weren’t always easy.

I admired him for the work he had done to help put homelessness on the forefront of the agenda in Toronto because it’s an issue about which I also care deeply.

I thought he’d do great on the

national scene because of his work with the Canadian Federation of Municipalities — so his view wasn’t restricted to that megalopolis on Lake Ontario — but also because he listened to people.

And he heard them.And he thought about what they

said.However, at the time, I thought he’d

just be another good politician who might make a bit of a mark if he was able to get to the federal level but, in the end, nothing would really change because the NDP is the party with all those thousands of supporters who never vote for it.

Then — something happened this year and I look at my middle son’s reaction to the federal election to understand it.

First, dissatisfied with everyone running for office in his riding, he called me to find out how to run as an independent.

It was time for someone to talk plainly about the kinds of issues that really hit families like his, he said.

Issues like day care (don’t make enough to pay for it, make too much

for a subsidy), the cost of gas (vaca-tions with the wife and kids are out of the question now with gas up around $1.20 a litre) and his pet peeve, com-munication (why is it when I call my MP for information, it takes three weeks and five people before someone finally says no?).

He was well on his way to filing papers when he started listening to Layton on the news.

And he started reading what Layton had said.

And he Googled the politician to learn more about him.

And he took the re-election sign for his uncle that his father had ham-mered into the ground out of his lawn and replaced it with one for his NDP candidate.

But, he did more.He started nagging his older brother

— who long ago gave up on voting, declaring nothing every really changes — and giving him all the reasons why he had to vote.

His brother voted.And he got on his sister’s case

about it; it was an easy sell because she’s been an NDP supporter for years.

He even tried to talk me out of vot-ing for the party I had chosen, even though he knows I choose person first and, if I can’t make a decision that way, then I go with party.

And that may be why Layton led his party to the incredible victory it achieved — because somehow, in his own way, he touched our youth and brought them back into the process.

Re: 28 Seconds — Inside the shooting death of Wilbert Bartley:

“This has been a very hard year for Wilbert’s family and I appreciate the truth being shown.

“Such an unwarrant-ed death of a man who would give you the shirt off his back.

“I met Wilbert years ago, as his family owned an arcade/restaurant. He was always a friendly smile to all of us who entered anywhere he was.

“Wilbert didn’t discriminate against anybody, even police. I saw him many times say hello with a big smile and ask how the officer was doing.

“Wilbert may have been a small-time dealer, but would never hurt an innocent soul. Wilbert would take any harm to anyone instead of the person being attacked, so as to save them.

“Anyone who would think in an instant of 28 seconds that Wilbert’s intentions were to hurt anyone are so terribly mistaken. I would imag-ine Wilbert was scared, not knowing why they wanted to talk to him.

“Yes, he wasn’t the best stick-shift driver and, being nervous, I could see how running from them was his mis-take.

“But, Wilbert would not ever try to hurt any-one!”

Editor:Is anyone else as

concerned as I am about wireless water meters the city has started installing?

These meters send signals every 14 sec-onds, signals that appar-ently travel up to two kilometres.

I have been doing a lot of reading about RF (radio frequency) sig-nals and it sounds like they could adversely affect our health.

In June, the World Health Organization classified RF radia-tion as a class 2B

(possible) carcinogen.It also sounds like

pulsed signals are much more disruptive to our body’s cells than steady signals.

I emailed city coun-cil and was referred to the city website.

I sent a second email to council and to a water-product special-ist with the Neptune Technology Group, asking that they get an expert opinion from some of the scientists who have done studies with RF.

I provided some names I came across,

but haven’t heard back from anybody.

The city’s website sounds reassuring at first as it states the wireless signal will be transmitted for less than 60 seconds per day.

Of course, this isn’t all at once.

It is being transmit-ted every 14 seconds for very short bursts and city information doesn’t take into account all signals coming through your house from all homes within two kilo-metres of your address.

There is also concern RF signals are caus-

ing, or contributing to, the honeybee colony-collapse disorder, in which bees can’t find their way back to their hive and beekeepers are losing large amounts of their bee populations.

It isn’t only the water meters going wireless.

BC Hydro has start-ed installing wireless meters and I suppose the gas companies may do this as well.

These meters could be wired.

I have a wired water meter that a meter reader has to walk up to

in order to read.They could alterna-

tively be tied into the phone lines so no one would even have to drive around to collect the signals.

It seems crazy to be sending signals out multiple times a day, every day, when they will only have to be read once every three months.

If you are concerned, please do as much research as you can and email city council and BC Hydro about this.

Editor: Re: The Rational

Thoughts column of Aug. 16, penned by Blythe Nilson (‘Keep flexing that crucial skep-tical muscle’), in which she recognizes how easy it is to be influenced, how difficult it is in this complex world to know what to believe and how advisable it is to not lis-ten to just one authority.

Agreed. While I applaud

Nilson’s advice to be skeptical of outlandish claims, I suspect the parents’ group in Barrie, Ont., who served as her example, did not con-sider their concern to be less than valid.

There is more than one scientific, experi-mentally backed position on the possible dangers of electromagnetic fields — especially on the brains of young children— including widely ignored warnings

not to give cellphones to children.

All nonsense? Hard to know as

our children haven’t yet grown old.

I suggest, rather, that the parents’ questions about WiFi radio activity (electromagnetic fields) possibly being harmful to their children were based more on research and open-mindedness than on fear.

Too bad that kind of common sense did not prevail a few decades ago, when smoking was approved by advertisers and physicians alike.

I am glad the quote in the column from the World Health Organization— “there is no evidence that expo-sure to low level mag-netic fields is harmful to human health” — also included the words, “to date.”

Pulsating meters cause concern about effects on health

No evidence of EMF dangers — yet

Amanda Fjeld holds in her hand a new water meter. In June, the Dallas resident’s home was the first to have a meter installed as part of the city’s universal water-metering program. While work continues to install such meters in all Kamloops home’s, some KTW readers — including Colleen Carbol and Kristin Saunders, are not so certain city water meters and BC Hydro Smart Meters will be safe for residents.

ENTERTAINMENT

One day in rehearsal for a new Norman Lear comedy, one of the characters uttered the word “dynamite.”

He didn’t say it that way.

It came out more like “Dy-No-Mite!”

The show’s director heard him, liked it and thought they could work it into the series.

And, ever since, Jimmie Walker has been known for that one word.

Dy-No-Mite!Walker, one of the

stars of the popular 1970s series Good Times, will bring his explosive sense of humour to Kamloops Convention Centre for a show on Saturday, Oct. 8, at 8 p.m.

However, Walker’s beginnings were far from funny.

Born in a New York City ghetto, he dreamed of playing pro basket-ball, but never had the physique to make it.

He quit school to take on odd jobs, but was determined to fin-

ish his education, which led to his enrolment in a program for students who weren’t in full-time learning.

To work on his grammar skills, Walker started writing — and discovered he was funny.

Eventually, he start-ed out doing standup at the same time people like Bette Midler, David Brenner and Steve Landesberg were shar-ing the stage, looking for their big breaks.

Walker’s big break

almost didn’t happen; his friends were sched-uled to do the Jack Paar Show, but Midler, Brenner and Landesberg refused to do the gig unless Walker was included.

They won, he did his improv and a contract with CBS followed.

Tickets for the 19-plus show are $30 plus taxes and service charges and are on sale at the Kamloops Live Box Office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.com.

LOCAL NEWS

A Kamloops man will likely face weap-ons-related charges after allegedly pulling an authentic-looking pellet gun on a group of youths on the North Shore on Tuesday night (Aug. 23).

Kamloops RCMP received a call at about 8 p.m. from someone who said they saw a man pointing a hand-gun at a group of teens in the 200-block of Tranquille Road.

The suspect then left the area in a vehicle.

Police quickly set up a perimeter around the area and found the suspect in his vehicle outside the Tim Hortons outlet on Tranquille Road.

Mounties executed a known-risk vehicle stop — with guns drawn — and arrested a 24-year-old man.

A black pellet gun was also seized.

Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said police treat all gun complaints as “priority 1” calls and act as if the weap-on is real.

Learned said pel-let guns and paintball guns are legal in their “defined uses” — but owners have to be careful when handling the real-looking weap-ons in public.

“The big problem is when someone takes an object like this . . . and presents it to someone in a public place,” Learned said.

“That type of action will likely be seen by someone else in the public.”

Learned said that’s when the calls to police start coming, forcing officers to treat the call as seriously as they did on Tuesday night.

“It just begs for problems,” he said.

“It’s just going to be a matter of time before somebody gets hurt.”

The man arrested on Tuesday night has

since been released on a promise to appear in court at a later date.

Learned said inves-tigators will likely for-ward a report to Crown in the coming weeks.

If you can’t trust your drug dealer . . .

A 27-year-old Kamloops man was arrested early Tuesday morning after an alleged robbery on the North Shore.

Police say they received a call just after 2 a.m. from a man claiming he had been robbed by his drug dealer.

The victim told investigators he was at The Duchess, at 377 Tranquille Rd., earlier in the night, where he said he bought drugs from an acquaintance.

A short time later, while walking home in the area of Fortune Drive, the victim said he was approached by the same acquaintance, who pulled out a knife and demanded his cell-phone and cash.

The suspect then fled, but was arrested a few hours later at a home on Kamloopa Road.

Police say they found the victim’s cell-phone in the suspect’s possession.

Freeway U-turn sends two to hospital

Police believe alco-hol might have been a factor in a multi-vehicle collision on the Trans-Canada Highway in Kamloops on Monday (Aug. 22).

Emergency crews were called to the eastbound lanes of the Trans-Canada Highway, near Summit Drive, just before 8 p.m. after a young female driver allegedly pulled a U-turn into oncoming traffic.

The young woman’s Pontiac Grand Am collided with a Chevy Cobalt and a Dodge

Dakota, narrowly miss-ing a number of other oncoming vehicles.

The driver of the Grand Am, as well as the driver of the Dakota, were taken to Royal Inland Hospital with minor injuries.

The freeway was closed for 45 minutes as crews worked to clean up the scene.

The investigation is ongoing.

Next month, the transit system in the Tournament Capital will be going to the dogs.

And cats. Maybe even birds. As of Sept. 1, transit users will be allowed to

bring their small pets on Kamloops buses.Erin Felker, the city’s transportation planner, said

the new policy is mainly for pet owners who don’t have use of a personal vehicle.

“It’s more for people who are relying on transit and need to get their pets to the vet or to travel some place,” she said, noting dogs on leashes are still pro-hibited from being on buses.

“This way, they’re not relying on taking a taxi to transport their animal,” Felker said.

There are several rules under the new policy. Only small, fur-bearing and feathered pets con-

tained in secure, clean, handheld cages will be per-mitted on buses.

Cages should be appropriate to the pet’s size and small enough to fit on the owner’s lap.

There will be a limit of one handheld cage per passenger.

Passengers must hold onto their cages at all times and are responsible for the safety of their pets.

If there is room on the bus, cages may be placed beside the owner on the floor, but the cage should not block the aisle or restrict other passengers, while transit drivers may refuse a trip if pets pose a health or safety risk, or if pets misbehave.

When the bus is full, there may not be room for pets.

Felker noted BC Transit started a similar pilot project a few years ago in Victoria, with no issues arising.

The service change will bring the city’s policy for pets on board in line with other communities in the province.

For most Canadians, home ownership is the ultimate dream, but that goal can be difficult to reach for many First Nations.

However, a new housing program will make that dream easier to attain for members of the Tk’emlups Indian Band (TIB) who want to build a new home on the reserve.

Two years ago, the TIB applied to be a member of the First Nations Market Housing Fund and, in the coming weeks, the band is expected to provide its first loan guarantee.

“It’s another option for our members to look at getting a house they want to build,” TIB Chief Shane Gottfriedson said, add-ing the loans would be for leased property for 99 years.

The market-housing fund is a federal pro-gram designed to help broaden the range of housing options for res-

idents of First Nations communities.

Gottfriedson explained it took much longer for band members to get home financing under the traditional system, which was run by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development ministry.

The band has been negotiating with four banks, including Bank of Montreal, Peace Hills Trust, Vancity Savings Credit Union and Valley First Credit Union.

Gottfriedson sug-gested the new program is important because

it’s always been a chal-lenge for members to get financing on the reserve.

The chief said he hopes many members will take advantage of the new program, not-ing there a quite a few younger band members who are working and

can afford the oppor-tunity.

The lending program also covers home reno-vations.

To qualify for a loan, a band member must be 19 or older, must have access to a serviceable lot on the TIB reserve, must meet

one of the approved lenders minimum credit requirements and must have no default with the band longer than 30 days.

All new-home con-struction must meet federal and provincial building-code stan-dards.

Dr. Jatinder Justin Singh GillBSc., D.D.S.

THE NORTH SHORE BUSINESS Improvement Association (NSBIA) has a mission to enhance the invest-ment climate within our mandate

area. To that end, we have engaged in a set of

public art projects like our banner festival, building makeovers, Wilson House Extension Art Gallery and the North Shore Art Walk.

We also entered into an agreement with the City of Kamloops to locate our NSBIA offices in the Wilson House, which is a dedi-cated Heritage property at 115 Tranquille Rd — and it can be considered an art project in its own

right as it clearly creates a positive image of this area.

There are two heroes in this story; one is the City of Kamloops, while the other is Gord Evans of Evans Fire Protection.

Evans owned an aging house at 148 Wilson St. that was slated for demolition because he was expanding his business.

The city became aware of the heritage value in the house and explored options with Evans to save it.

Evans accommodated the city’s planning horizon by postponing his expansion project while a new location and a house-moving

plan was finalized. While the city can be recognized for its

efforts in managing a house move and reno-vation, Evans is also a significant hero in this story, given his generosity.

Without his flexibility on his expansion timing, the heritage structure would have been lost and our community would not have the Wilson Heritage House.

The art gallery in the house features work by a different artist every month through a partnership with the Kamloops Art Council.

The council and NSBIA also collarborate on the annual North Shore Art Walk, which exposes people to many artists’s works on display in businesses in the Tranquille Market.

A personal experience about the Art Walk was shared with me the other day from a senior manager in a well known south shore grocery store.

He engaged me in conversation about how he and his wife enjoyed the event.

He went on at some length about how he enjoyed meeting the various business owners and the stores he discovered.

He was quite animated when describing the people he met and noted the Art Walk gave him a whole new appreciation for these new shopping options.

The Art Walk also highlights the original banner art of the area’s schoolchildren and incorporates our building makeover projects, including murals.

The fresh and positive view of the area helps build the business case and attract new investment.

Peter Mutrie is the manager of the NSBIA.

LOCAL NEWS

One portion of the rally that won’t be a part of this year’s event is the seminars and workshops for bikers.

Carroni said the com-mittee found in past rallies riders were more eager to take part in the interactive activities and hit the road.

Many attending this year’s HOG rally will be riding with heavy hearts.

Cliff Randall, HOG’s western regional direc-tor and a fixture at past rallies, died earlier this

week after a battle with cancer. He was expected to be in Kamloops.

In June, Kamloops Mounties said they had been made aware of the gathering, but were not concerned.

The group has provid-ed police with detailed plans of the event and where riders intend to be.

There will likely be

extra police resources

brought in, but only to

deal with increased con-

gestion for a potential

extra 2,000 people in the

city.

From A1

2,000 expected for rally

Kamloops is a significant Harley-Davidson town. This weekend’s Canadian National Harley Owners Group (HOG) Rally follows the well-attended Harley Days event, held in October 2010. KTW file photo

District Manager Debbie _________ (l) and Sahali Safeway Store manager Dave Nemrava

present Lise-Marie Duquette of Kamloops a one-week trip to the Mayan Riviera.

Lise-Marie, a third-grade teacher at Bert Edwards Elementary, won by entering Safeway’s

Touchdown to Win contest.


LAST WEEK’S column men-tioned new research infor-

mation about depres-sion, linking depres-sion in women to a higher risk of having a stroke.

One reader who lives with depression believed we trivial-ized the seriousness of depression by sug-gesting people could manage some of their symptoms through exercise and positive, close relationships.

Let us be explicit about this: Nothing is trivial about depres-sion, even in its mild-est forms.

Psychiatrists con-sider depression a dis-order of the brain.

There are a variety of possible causes, including genetic, envi-ronmental, psychologi-cal and biochemical factors.

Depression usually starts between the ages of 15 and 30 and is much more commonly diagnosed in women, which only means it may be that men do not seek medical help when they are expe-riencing depressive symptoms.

All mental ill-nesses can wreak havoc on one’s physi-cal health, and this is perhaps especially true with people who are depressed.

A depressed person will usually have nor-mal physical examina-tions, blood tests and, if necessary, a normal brain MRI. Doctors rarely do extensive testing for depression because abnormal results are rare and the tests are almost never helpful.

That means a diagnosis is based on subjective impressions rather than science.

Many doctors do not trust subjective diagnoses.

Depressed people often either eat too much or forget to eat.

Both extremes cre-ate difficulties in a many ways for the body.

They may either sleep too much not enough.

Again, lack of sleep has been linked to many chronic diseases, including diabetes – nothing trivial about that, either.

With the marked decrease in energy and motivation that accom-panies depression, peo-ple can find their work performance, relation-ships, sex life and gen-eral level of activities decrease as well.

All of these fac-tors have an additive

effect on how we feel about ourselves and can even contribute to depression — creating a vicious circle, of sorts.

Many people — and even some doc-tors — seem to believe people can “just get over it” or “pull them-selves up and get going.”

That is not always the case and does not change the feelings and serious symptoms that go along with depres-sion.

Some people can-not use antidepressant medication because of allergies, side effects or cost, or due to preg-nancy or breastfeeding.

There are a number of non-drug treat-ments now believed to be effective, even for major depression.

These treatments include intake of omega-3s, exercise, bright-light therapy,

psychotherapy and, in the world of cognitive-behavioural therapy, close and need-satisfy-ing relationships.

Some research has found St. John’s wort to be effective, but only when not combined with other medications and only under the direction of a physician.

Just because people, or even your doctor, believes your mood is “all in your head”, you can choose to take some steps to improve your situation or, at the very least, prevent it from becoming worse.

Dr. Robert H. Shmerling, who works out of a teaching hos-pital at the Harvard Medical School, told us, “There’s more uncertainty in medicine than most people think.

“But, that doesn’t mean a person is imag-ining their symptoms.”

Write to us at [email protected] if you have comments

or questions.

PAYING OFF YOUR MORTGAGE FASTERFor many Canadian homeowners, one of their highest fi nancial priorities is to pay off their mortgage as quickly as possible. Making extra payments in the early years can shorten the life of a mortgage — and dramatically lower the mortgage interest costs you’ll pay over the long haul. Those extra payments can be a sacrifi ce, so here are some tips to help motivate you:

TIP #1: Start small - Round up your payments Try adding $10 or $20 extra per payment, the amount of interest you are saving will make a difference over time, and it’s relatively painless to part with.

TIP #2: Increase your payment annually to the most you can affordMost lenders will allow you to increase your monthly payment by 10%, 15% or even 20%. Increasing your payment means you won’t have to be disciplined to save up a lump sum payment, it will be added to your payment each month, and go directly against your mortgage principle. If you fi nd the payments are too much, most lenders will allow you to reduce your payment to the original contract rate. A small fee may apply.

TIP #3: Pay a lump sum whenever possibleLump sum payments are extra payments which go directly against your mortgage principle. Now remember, your monthly payment of interest and principle was based on you making NO extra payments – so in fact, because of your payment, less interest will accrue and now more of your regular monthly payment will go toward paying down mortgage principle.

TIP #4: Invest in your mortgage for tax free savingsIf you prepay $1000 of your mortgage balance and your mortgage interest rate is 5%, you will save about $50 per year. Now, because of income taxes (estimated at 35%), you actually have to earn $77 to make $50 in real after tax dollars. An argument could be made that your $1000 payment/investment in your mortgage, actually pays a 7.7% return per year, not just 5%. Thats more than most GICs or bonds and the savings are not taxable!

TIP #5: With variable rate mortgages, keep payments the same when mortgage rates fallIf the payment amount has not been a problem, try keeping it the same and pay down the principal faster.

TIP #6: Raise payments in line with increased incomeIf your income increases, consider applying at least some of the surplus toward your mortgage. The long-term benefi ts of becoming mortgage free faster should be a strong motivator to make an increased mortgage payment.

Don’t waste your hard-earned money on interest!

Heffl ey sea cadet Ingalls on the water

Heffley Creek sea cadet Petty Officer 2nd Class Riis Ingalls of the Kamloops Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps (RCSCC) is among Canada’s top 50 Royal Canadian Sea Cadet sailors in Kingston, Ont. this week to take part in the annual Sea Cadets’ National Regatta.

The regatta, staged by The Navy League of Canada and the Canadian Forces, pits each province’s top sail-ors against each other in four days of competition, testing not only their teamwork, seamanship and sailing strategy, but also their tenacity and physical endurance.

Cadets from each province earned the right to compete in this national event by dominating their division (provincial) competitions

Each crew of two cadets (skipper and mate) is sailing in up to 12 races in the waters off Fort Henry and the Royal Military College of Canada, where Lake Ontario flows into the upper St. Lawrence River. Crews compete in Laser 420 sailboats with a spinnaker and trapeze, requiring a high level of sailing experience and expertise.

Competition ends on Friday, Aug. 26.

Kamloops Law Courts gets two new sheriffs

Thirty-six sheriff positions are being added to B.C. court-houses, including two in Kamloops.

The B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) said it was told of the decision this week.

“We are pleased the government has listened to the concerns from sheriffs, judges and the public about the need to have proper security in our courts,” said BCGEU president Darryl Walker. “The entire court system has slowed to a crawl for the past couple of years because the government hasn’t replaced vacant sheriff positions.

According to the union, the number of

sheriffs has gone from 525 a few years ago to about 385 now.

“The reduction in the number of sheriffs is due primarily to the hiring freeze that has been in place for the past two years within govern-ment,” said Purdy. “We have lost a number of members to other higher paying law enforcement agencies like the police and sheriffs in Alberta, who earn $15,000 a year more.”

Victoria antes up $84G to fi ght plants

The Southern Interior Weed Management Committee has received $84,000 in funding from the provincial govern-ment to help treat high-risk invasive plant spe-cies and sites on Crown land, conduct surveys of new occurrences, do

an inventory of marsh plume thistle and moni-tor treatment efficacy.

“Some of these plants look nice but that is very deceptive,” said Kamloops-North Thompson Liberal MLA Terry Lake.

“In many cases, they are poisonous.

“Add to that the devastating impact they have on local plants and the need to act becomes clear.”

Invasive plants harm the environment by crowding out native plants, altering eco-systems and creating an increased wildfire hazard; affecting human health by causing skin irritation, blisters, scar-ring and severe breath-ing problems; and harming the economy by impacting property and crop values and increasing costs associ-ated with treating infes-tations on rangelands, gardens, parks or along roadsides.

The family of Bruce Clark is very sad to announce the passing of their father and grandfather in the early morning hours of August 22nd.. Bruce died peacefully at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House after a short battle with lung cancer.

Bruce was born and raised in Nova Scotia and moved to B.C. to attend the University of B.C. after serving in the Navy during WW11. He obtained a Bachelor of Science in Forestry and worked as a researcher for the B.C. Forest Service for 33 years, retiring at the age of 60.

It was in Vancouver, while he was attending U.B.C. that Bruce met and married the love of his life, Lois Colvin. Bruce and Lois moved to Kamloops in 1954 where they raised their four children.

Bruce was predeceased by his wife Lois in 2008. He is survived by his four children, Helen (Gary) Osborne, Susan (Gerry) Illner, Jim (Sharon) Clark and Pamela (Bill) Reiser and his fi ve grandchildren Jeremy (Kristi) Osborne, Matt Osborne, Kristina Clark, Kim Clark and Jacob Reiser.

Bruce will be remembered as an avid curler and lawn bowler and served as president of the Kamloops Riverside Lawn Bowlers Club for many years.

The family is extremely grateful to the staff and volunteers at the Hospice House for their kindness and compassion while caring for dad during his fi nal days.

Should friends desire donations to the Kamloops Hospice Association, 72 Whiteshield Crescent S., Kamloops, B.C. V2E 2S9 would be greatly appreciated.

A Celebration of Bruce’s life will be held on Sunday, August 28 at 11:00 a.m. in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street.

In Loving Memory ofEVA PAVLOVIC

Born: October 17, 1932Passed: August 19, 2011

With great sorrow we regret to announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, and sister, Eva Pavlovic. Eva is survived by her loving children, Sandra Morton, Ann Weller and Sherry (Visnja) May. She will also be deeply missed by her grandchildren: Cary Weller (Age 26), Samantha Weller (Age 23), Thomas (TJ) May (Age 19), and Katrina Ann May (Age 10). Also grieving the loss of Eva are her two sisters Masha Blaic and Maria Troskot.

Born in Croatia and a long standing member of the Catholic Faith she was a quiet member of the community trying to balance the challenges of family life and work. Her wisdom, strength and perseverance touch all in her sphere.

Eva was given many challenges in the past year; primarily, she lost her husband, Marko Pavlovic, one short year ago. Eva was the quiet power house behind her outgoing partner and she never chose to be recognized for her acts of kindness.

She found her joy in her family and as an avid gardener. Eva’s knowledge as a herbologist was extensive. Her natural garden and fruit trees provided her life with a treasured tranquility and serenity which she humorously described as her own private jungle retreat.

She will be missed by us all.

The Reverend Father Peter H. Nguyen presided over a Memorial Service on Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011 at 7:00 pm in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, Tranquille Road, Kamloops

On Wednesday, August 24th, 2011 at 11:00 am Eva’s cremated remains were entombed in the Sage Valley Mausoleum, Hillside Cemetery. A short reception followed.

Should friends desire donations to the Kamloops Hospice Association, 72 S Whiteshield Cres, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9 (250) 372-1336 would be appreciated in her memory.

On line condolences may be expressed atwww.schoenings.com

She was born on September 21st, 1944 in Glasgow, Scotland to Sarah and Patrick Haughey. They immigrated to Dunnville, Ontario in 1957, where she completed her education.

On August 17th, 1963 she was married to Clarence Wiseman and they have two children Todd (Tammy) and Kelly (son-in-law Lee). Sandra is also survived by her brother Mark Robertson (Joyce) and Ernie Robertson (Edith) both of Dunnville, her sister Dorothy Truffault of France and adoring grandchildren Sydney, Avery and Evegni. She was predeceased by her brother George, sisters Marjorie and Hilda, brothers-in-law Johnny and Jimmy and sister-in-law Kathy.

During her early years of young adult life Sandra concentrated on those areas which were always fi rst in her heart and that was family. During those years, when Clarence was putting his energies into building a career in the Newspaper Publishing industry,

Sandra’s efforts were always in family and community building.

The Wisemans were transferred to numerous cities in Canada which included Orangeville, Ont., Prince Albert, Sask., Brampton, Ontario and eventually Kamloops, B.C. The Wiseman family fell in love with the city, the environment and the people.

It was here that Sandra came to be the person that she was destined to become – “a helper of man” for this truly is the defi nition of the name Sandra.

Sandra jumped into many avenues, initially getting involved with the Kamloops Y- fi rst as a fi tness instructor and eventually a board member. She loved politics and would love to discuss almost any aspect of the political arena. Sandra had a natural ability to debate almost any topic and from different polarities. Most of her close friends had trouble deciding what side of the political spectrum she was on. They thought they had that fi gured out when she accepted the position of Executive Director to MP Betty Hinton.

When Kamloops boasted the 1993 Summer Canada Games, of course Sandra was involved with many other community leaders and formed many friendships with other citizens of the community. With hubby

involved in national track and fi eld championships, Sandra was one of the key planners for the world masters 2000 games.

She spearheaded the formation of a women’s networking organization that lasted for over 20 years.

Sandra could as well turn her mind to business and she did just that. In 1987, with the demise of the Kamloops Sentinel, she along with Clarence and friend Sue Bignell launched the Kamloops Super Shopper, which became successful enough to have been purchased by Black Press and converted eventually into Kamloops This Week.

Sandra wrote a column called “Wisecracks”, which ran for many years and eventually appeared in the Kamloops Daily News when she moved to that newspaper. At both papers, she was noted for her reporting on features and arts and entertainment.

The Wisemans also founded a men’s clothing store called The Modern Man Clothing Company located on Victoria St.,

Sandra saw an opportunity in 2003 to move to the exciting new development Sun Rivers and felt it was an ideal place to launch Golfview Bed and Breakfast, which she ran until three weeks before her passing.

The interesting aspect of Sandra was that she wasn’t involved for the sake of being involved or because she had another agenda. She was active in the community because she wanted to make a difference and she did. Our family and this city will miss the vibrant, intelligent, sincere and dedicated woman.

Cancer is such a dreaded disease and Sandra’s struggle was fought with a determination to maintain grace and dignity to the end. She has a strong conviction in God and this helped her through all of life’s challenges and it is truly heaven who is the winner today.

A Celebration of Sandra’s Life will be held on Sunday, August 28th at 2:00pm at Bible Truth Church, 1099 Fraser St., with Pastor Andrew Picklyk presiding.

We express our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Bradley Proctor and staff at the 8th fl oor Cancer Clinic, Royal Inland Hospital, Dr. Amanda Bosman and the wonderful angels at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home. We encourage you to support these wonderful facilities if you wish to recognize Sandra.

One Final Gift

Scatter me not to

restless winds,

Nor toss my ashes to

the sea.

Remember now those

years gone by

When loving gifts I

gave to thee.

Remember now the

happy times

The family ties we

shared.

Don’t leave my resting

place unmarked

As though you never

cared.

Deny me not one fi nal

gift

For all who come to

see

A single lasting proof

that says

I loved... and you

loved me.

INSIDE Keeping up with the Pack/A28

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKSPORTS

By Marty HastingsSTAFF REPORTER

[email protected]

Hockey season is

just around the corner

and Interior Savings

Centre (ISC) will be

a bustling place this

weekend when the

Kamloops Blazers host

training camp.

With roster posi-

tions on the line at

rookie and main

camps, players will be

fighting for their hock-

ey lives — and that

includes some of the

Blazers’ returnees.

“Nothing is guaran-

teed,” club GM Craig

Bonner told KTW.

“The players are

going to learn pretty

quick here, quite early in camp, that things are

changing and things are going to be harder.”

Rookie camp, for 1995- and 1996-born players, gets underway at 9 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 26.

All the rookies in attendance — there are about 70 of them — have been divided into four teams.

Each team will practise for one hour between 9 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. on Friday.

The main camp ses-sions on Friday run from 2:15 p.m. to 5 p.m.

All returning play-ers will take the ice at main camp, as will two free agents — cen-tre Bryan Owen and defenceman Braden Pears — who were

not with the team last season.

At 5:30 p.m, the first of two rookie games gets underway.

Puck drop for the second of Friday’s rookie games is sched-uled for 7:30 p.m.

Most of the rook-ies in attendance know their chances of crack-ing the Blazers’ lineup this season are slim, but there is still a lot for which to play.

Watching from the stands will be Bonner and all of the Blazers’ scouts, who will be monitoring player pro-gression and getting an idea of who might crack the lineup in future years.

Many of the rookies at camp are selections

from the 2010 and 2011 WHL bantam drafts.

They are on Kamloops’ 50-man protected list and can-not be pilfered by other WHL teams.

The free-agent rook-ies at camp would like to be on that list, too.

That goal can be achieved by outper-forming a listed player in training sessions and games.

There are four rook-ie games, starting at 9 a.m., noon, 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., respec-tively, on Saturday, Aug. 27.

Rookie camp ends after Saturday’s last game.

Bonner and the

scouts will meet and

discuss what they liked

and didn’t like from

the players at rookie

camp.

Matt Recchi, the

Blazers’ director of

player personnel, is

the man in charge of

informing the players

of their fate.

Main camp runs

through Tuesday, Aug.

30, at ISC.

A Blue versus

White game, scheduled

for 7 p.m. at ISC on

Tuesday, will mark the

end of main camp.

There is no cost for

fans who want to watch

the training-camp ses-

sions at ISC.

Tickets for the

intrasquad Blue versus

White game are $5.

By Marty HastingsSTAFF REPORTER

[email protected]

There will be plenty of fierce battles for roster positions at Kamloops Blazers’ training camp.

KTW got the low-down on the players expected to be involved in those hotly contested fights.

GoaltendingArguably the biggest

battle for a spot on the Blazers’ opening-day roster will be contested between the pipes.

Cam Lanigan, a 19-year-old Calgary product, Cole Cheveldave, an 18-year-old from Calgary, and Taran Kozun, a 17-year old from Nipawin, Sask., are the frontrun-ners for the two avail-able spots.

A darkhorse in the race is Sherwood Park, Alta., product Troy Trombley, a third-round selection by the Blazers in the 2009 WHL Bantam Draft.

“I’m a big fan of competitive goalies,” GM Craig Bonner told KTW.

“The majority of goalies now play a similar style and they’re pretty structured in their game.

“What makes a difference is the com-petitiveness — the guys

who battle for loose pucks in their crease.

“I think an intense, battling goalie rubs off on your team.”

Lanigan played in 16 games for the Blazers last season, posting a 3-9 record, a 5.59 GAA and an .843 save percentage.

Cheveldave spent last season with the junior A Drumheller Dragons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

He posted a 16-20-6 record with a 2.90 GAA and a .917 save percentage.

Kozun played last season with the midget AAA Prince Albert Mintos.

DefenceSix WHL vets —

Bronson Maschmeyer, Brady Gaudet, Tyler Hansen, Josh Caron, Austin Madaisky and Marek Hrbas — will likely be with the Blazers on opening day.

The battle on the blueline will be for the seventh spot and, if there is one, the eighth position.

Landon Cross, a 17-year-old from Brandon, Tyler Bell, a 17-year-old from Regina, and Joshua Connolly, 16-year-old Prince George product, are expected to be in the mix.

CHAMPIONS OWN THE BATTLEFIELD

Jaret Laquerre (left), Chad Bellwood and Mark Delgado fight out of Champions Choice Mixed Martial Arts in Kamloops. Bellwood and Delgado were victorious at Battlefield Fight League 10, a mixed martial arts card held in Vernon at the Wesbild Centre on Saturday, Aug. 20. Delgado, also known as The Monkeyman, earned a submission victory over Chris Rock of Vernon in the first round. Bellwood choked out Dave Logan of Vancouver in the first round. Logan showed up to the event 10 pounds overweight, but Bellwood opted to go on with the fight. Champions Choice member Kyle Francotti also won his fight at the event, earning a TKO victory over Kolten Higginbottom of Vancouver. Laquerre was instrumental in training Delgado in the weeks leading up to his fight. Marty Hastings/KTW

Pack adds trainer, masseuseThe TRU WolfPack’s

hockey team might be a little healthier and a lot more relaxed when the 2011-2012 British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League season gets underway in September.

Brandy Osborne, a registered sports massage therapist and sports first responder, has joined the Pack.

“The insight I will bring is the importance of enhancing and main-taining the athletes’ bodies and their ability to perform at an elite level,” said Osborne, who owns and operates the Kamloops Optimal Health Clinic on the North Shore.

“Prevention of inju-ries is my primary goal. If injuries do occur, I’ll

instill the importance of dealing with them in an effective manner right from the start.”

The Pack’s training camp opens on Sept. 7.

Pack recruits local D-Man Oatway

Shane Oatway, a defenceman from Kamloops, has agreed to join the TRU

WolfPack’s hockey team for the 2011-2012 campaign.

“I wasn’t looking at other schools,” the six-foot D-man said.

“I had my heart set on going to TRU.”

Oatway split time with the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Drayton Valley Thunder and Fort McMurray Oil Barons last season, tal-lying 33 points, four of them goals, and racking up 81 penalty minutes.

The Sa-Hali second-ary graduate played with the Merritt Centennials of the B.C. Junior Hockey League in the 2007-2008 sea-son.

“Shane is a complete defenceman,” Pack GM Chris Hans said.

“He is solid in his

own end of the ice and

brings good offensive

skills.”

UBC too much for TRU on the pitch

The TRU WolfPack

women’s soccer squad was downed 3-0 by the UBC Thunderbirds in Chilliwack on Sunday, Aug. 21.

“We have a lot to work on, but we now know what we have,” Pack head coach Tom McManus said.

The Pack will be in Lethbridge this week-end (Aug. 26 and Aug. 27) for a pair of exhibi-tion matches with the Pronghorns.

TRU opens its 2011 B.C. Colleges’ Athletic Association regular season on Sept. 10 in Surrey against the Kwantlen Polytechnic Eagles.

The Pack’s first home fixture will be held at Hillside Stadium on Sept. 24 against the UBC Okanagan Heat.

“It always happens to someone else, right?”Wrong, a critical illness can strike anyone at any time. If this was to happen to you,

how would you deal with it?

• Would your life change if you were to suffer a critical illness such as a heart attack, stroke or life-threatening cancer?• Where would the money come from to cover additional and unexpected expenses that may be associated with medical treatment, time off work and recovery?• Would you have to withdraw from your saving account, your RRSP or borrow from your Line of Credit to pay the medical bills (more than 70% of the costs linked to cancer are not covered by the provincial health insurance plan) and every day expenses.

A critical illness policy would provide you and your family with a lump-sum payment

($10,000 - $2,000,000) to look after your fi nancial needs. Meanwhile, you can focus on what’s really

important - your recovery. Plus, if you don’t use your coverage, you could get your money back.

Missionaries from Washington teach the Pack a lessonThe TRU WolfPack

men’s basketball team fell 90-67 to the visit-ing Whitman College Missionaries of Walla Walla, Wash., on

Monday, Aug. 22.Whitman College,

an NCAA Division III school, took an early lead and never relin-quished it.

“It’s tough on the guys because we hadn’t practiced before the game,” TRU head coach Scott Clark said.

“I liked that we had

a chance to see every-one and what they are capable of and what needs to be worked on.”

Clark used his entire 13-man bench, which

seated nine players who are new to the Pack this season.

Fifth-year forward Chas Kok netted 17 points for TRU.

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEK &ARTS ENTERTAINMENT

By Jessica WallaceSTAFF REPORTER

MERRITT HAS SOMETHING THE BIG CITIES DON’T — COMPLETE DARKNESS.

Big cities have light pollution — the haze that comes from city lights — and aren’t ideal for astronomers.

It’s part of the reason Star Quest has been held in Merritt for nearly a decade.

Amateur astronomers come from the Lower Mainland, the Okanagan and all the way from Washington state to have the opportunity to gaze at stars in the Lower Nicola Valley.

Clive Williams, president of the Merritt Astronomical Society, said astron-omy clubs throughout B.C. choose Merritt for two reasons.

“One, it’s a relatively small city that doesn’t have a large light pollution bubble,” he said.

“If you go 10 minutes away, the band of the milky way shines through, whereas in the Lower Mainland, you could probably count on one hand the amount of stars you can see with the naked eye.

“Two, it’s a centralish location,” he said, “between the Okanagan and the Lower Mainland.”

“It started off as a ‘let’s find a place we can all go,’” Williams said of Star Quest.

The Merritt Astronomical Society was created and Star Quest has become an annual occurrence.

Anybody can take part in the week-long event.“If you’re interested in astronomy, pick up a pair of binoculars and a

couple of books about the night sky,” Williams said.Those interested in attending Star Quest must register and pay a registra-

tion fee of $25. “We’re expecting about 100 people,” Williams said.“Anybody who has ever looked up and wondered what’s there.”“There is a core group that come every year,” he said, adding new people

are always welcome.Last year, the event was interrupted by a stint of poor weather and only

42 people attended.“Three-quarters of one night was clear,” Williams said. “The rest of the

time it was cloudy, rainy, windy.”It’s the reason the event spans from one weekend through the week and

into the next weekend.Conditions this year will be much better as Environment Canada is calling

for crystal-clear skies well into next week.The astronomers will camp out, sleep all day and stargaze by night from

Aug. 27 to Sept. 3.“The Merritt skies allow us to get into the magnitudes [star brightness] of

12, 13 and 14 range, whereas anywhere else you’re luck to get a magnitude 9,” Williams said.

“It’s incredibly relaxing.”For more information, to get directions and to register for Star Quest, go

online to merrittastronomical.com.

FAITH

When I get that feeling, I want metaphysical healing

THE PREFIX “META” translates as “beyond”

or “at a later stage of development.”

So, metaphysical healing is a healing that uses something other than the typical physical modalities.

Being non-physical, it cannot be proven or explained using our typical physical (sci-entific) method, but we are able to demon-strate it through our experience of it.

Quantum mechan-ics is now proving we affect our world by our observation of it, that nothing happens independent of the observer.

In other words, not only does the tree in the forest not make a sound if no one hears it, it doesn’t even fall!

We create our own experience of life.

We draw into our

experience that which we focus our attention upon.

Therefore, meta-physical healing, in our teaching termed Spiritual Mind Treatment, focuses attention on the health within the appearance of disease and on the innate wisdom and abil-ity of the body to heal and maintain itself.

Metaphysicians have generally rejected the idea of God as a superhuman with a nasty disposition constantly judging and condemning that

which he has created and purports to love.

Instead, we con-ceive of the divinity as love, intelligence, the very life force itself.

We see that life energy as impartial, responding equally to the free will with which each of us is endowed.

British physicist James Jeans proposed that matter is continu-ously being created throughout the uni-verse.

He changed the pre-vailing concept of the universe from that of a great machine, saying “the universe resem-bles nothing so much as a great thought” – God as mind.

A metaphysical practitioner remem-bers the true nature of Creator, God, Divine Mind or Universal Mind as inextrica-bly interconnected, a true unity.

We acknowledge that Universal Mind is omnipresent — every-where — and, there-fore, must be right here where I am.

Thus, the wisdom and power of the Universal Mind is available to me.

And, since Universal Mind is cre-ative, I am creative.

I next consciously choose what it is I wish to create, be it health, prosperity, lov-ing relationships or joyful self-expression, reminding myself of the truth at the core of me, behind the appear-ance.

The final steps are gratitude and release, knowing that we have set a higher intelli-gence in motion and do not need to micro-manage God.

We students of science of mind rec-ognize the immense potential of our

thoughts — both posi-tive and negative — to create.

We also acknowl-edge we are constantly being bombarded, on a subconscious level, with negative thoughts of unworthiness, guilt and fear.

We do our best to keep our thoughts on the truth, but we do not judge ourselves nor deny the experi-ence when we experi-ence illness.

Thus we use meta-physical healing as an adjunct to traditional or non-traditional medical therapies, knowing that divine healing is also avail-able through the phy-sician.

We make us of whatever it is that most effectively restores our belief, and thus our experience, of the wholeness and per-fection that we are.

Every one of us.

THE SNOW-cloaked Coast Mountains elbow the

Skeena River, dripping long, silvery waterfalls, and there’s a tang of cottonwood wafting through the campervan window as we dawdle down Highway 16 from Prince Rupert to Prince George.

Also known as the Yellowhead Highway, the narrow road invites a slower pace. We pull over to gawk and guzzle tea in our snug little RV.

Enclosed like turtles, we’re never disappoint-ed with meals, trans-portation or hotels.

All we need are campsites and there are plenty from which to choose, from scenic provincial and federal parks to fully serviced, strategically placed pri-vate sites.

We’re giddy with endless choices and wide-open spaces.

Day 3 of our nine-day road trip and it’s already a winner, in spite of moody May weather.

Day 1 took us 500 kilometres up Vancouver Island from Victoria to Port Hardy and, if that wasn’t sce-nic enough, we then indulged in a spec-tacular 22-hour Inside Passage cruise to Prince

Rupert aboard the B.C. Ferries’ MV Northern Expedition.

Who would have thought so many water-falls could be crammed into one small corner of B.C.’s coast?

Soon after, we squeezed into Grenville Channel, rubbing shoulders with forest and rock.

Then came the killer whales.

Chief steward Lorne Campbell, who has been on this route for 11 years, says they’re the star attraction.

“When and where do we see whales? It’s the number-one ques-tion passengers ask,” Campbell says.

“We often see them, especially around Bella Bella and the southern section, mostly hump-backs, sometimes orcas and grey whales during migrations.”

In a holiday of

superlatives, this cruise is a lexiconic master-piece.

Day 3 starts with a detour to the North Pacific Cannery Museum at Port Edward near Prince Rupert, a National Historic site.

Established in 1889, it’s the oldest remain-ing fish cannery on North America’s West Coast.

Each building, perched on wood pil-ings along the banks of the Inverness Passage, tells a story about the lost industry and the workers who lived here.

The site is impres-sive, but lonely.

On this circle trip, we meet raucous riv-ers like the Skeena, the Bulkley, the Thompson and the Fraser, but, while the scenery is a big attraction, so is First Nations cul-ture and history: The

traditional fishing at Moricetown, the totems at Kitwanga and the famed ‘Ksan Heritage Site.

This afternoon, we’re heading to Old

Hazelton and ‘Ksan, an historical Gitksan village at the conflu-ence of the Bulkley and Skeena rivers.

Crossing the one-lane suspension bridge over Hagwilget Canyon is an adventure in itself and camping at ‘Ksan after wandering among the totems and lodges allows us to absorb the spirit of this culture.

Sitting at our iconic campfire toasting sooty marshmallows, we feel that if we weren’t camping, we would have missed something intangible.

After a sleep inter-laced with the sound of frogs, and followed by a breakfast ‘al fres-co,’ we’re off to join Highway 97 at Prince George, taking time out for lakeside camping at Fort Fraser.

Day 5 catches us climbing the 81 kilo-metres to Barkerville, where Billy Barker struck it rich in 1862, but wound up dying in a pauper’s grave.

Snow still squats on each side of the muddy street as dainty damsels in period costume lift their sweeping petti-coats, going about their 19th-century business

in this historic gold-rush town.

We eat doughnuts from the bakery, watch the blacksmith at work, take in a performance at the Theatre Royal and eavesdrop on a stern schoolmistress giving a lesson to a classroom full of 21st-century students.

Eventually, it’s back to Highway 97 and Dragon Lake for anoth-er night of frog song.

On Day 6, we cruise alongside grasslands, with the ubiquitous Coast Mountains a smudge in the sky.

Ponderosa Pine and sagebrush appear and we join the Trans-Canada Highway at Cache Creek.

Just before Lytton is Kumsheen, a tiny but glorious strip of camp-sites, tents, tepees and adventure, sandwiched between the Thompson River and the road. The sun’s out and Kumsheen is famous for whitewater rafting.

We spend an extra day here.

It’s Day 8 and we’re smack dab in the Fraser Canyon, swaying high over Hell’s Gate

on the airtram.Operating since

1971, the hair-raising trip may be the longest two minutes of your life. As you dangle over that boiling stew, just imagine how Simon Fraser felt as he approached in his flimsy canoe.

Our last day is spent in Vancouver.

The circle is com-plete.

B.C.’s scenery, his-tory, attractions, and recreation keep pulling us back on the road and RVing makes it so easy to succumb.

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKCUISINE

Caring the cats just for the halibutD

AY ONE:Three

cats greet me at the door,

knives and forks at the ready.

I am their visiting sitter for the next 10 days, while their family holidays (since I long ago forfeited a life that allows me to jaunt about on trips — unless tax-deductible and subsidized by book sales — I’m a handy friend to have).

The cats, ranging in age from overgrown kitten to senior citi-zen, have mixed feel-ings about my ingress.

But, when I pet who want petting, respect the personal space of one who prefers an apron of dignity, and pop the lid off a tin can of “Chefs’ Dinner,” everyone’s happy.

I steal the vanilla bean ice cream I find in the freezer and go home to bake a berry cobbler.

DAY TWO:

The click I felt in

my lower back, when I

didn’t lift with-my-legs a

box of Saskatoon berries

buried in the bottom of

my freezer, has become

problematic.

This morning, I

couldn’t lean far enough

over the sink to spit out

my toothpaste.

But, after visiting the

nice pharmacist down the road, I’m able, if barely, to drive myself to the cats’ house, where I must now, for the sake of reach, feed them on the kitchen counter.

Before leaving, I pinch two cans of tuna from the pantry, text Chefhusband to pick up ingredients for a noodle casserole and go home to curl up with an ice pack.

DAY FIVE:I hobble in toting a

reusable grocery

bag, as

making

a second

stop at the

supermar-

ket on the

way home

remains out

of the ques-

tion.

Rice.

Check.

Creamed

corn. Check.

Honey dijon with last

year’s date on the bot-

tom. Check.

Hamburger

Helper and Kraft Dinner.

They remain where I

find them.

What Chefhusband

will do with any of the

food items I’m pinching

is a mystery, but the only

other thing I can find to

steal is a frozen halibut.

But, it’s in the bottom

of an antique chest freez-

er, beyond my impaired

reach.

The cats give their

compliments to today’s

selection of Turkey ‘n’

Giblits and wander off to

find separate sunbeams.

DAY EIGHT:I still can’t reach the

halibut.The freezer’s lid is too

heavy and I must stop endangering my recovery by lifting it to see if I’ve missed anything good.

I haven’t.Today’s take is a bou-

quet of Mr. Freezes. Soda pop flavours. They melt in the car on the way home.

The cats yodel at the back door to be let out, but physiotherapy awaits.

Besides, I’m an indoor-cat person.

Asking me to let your cats out is a bit like me asking an atheist to take my kids to church.

If I had kids.

DAY TEN:After performing my

last day’s duties towards my three charges, I lift the lid on the freezer one last time, breathe a prayer for a few more inches of grace and finally put my sticky fingers on the fish.

Tonight, as I pay for my overreach by being confined to a prison of cushions, Chefhusband prepares the halibut.

The cats, when I left them, seemed glad to see me go.

Add tomatoes, shallot and garlic into a small cast iron pan. Season lightly. Add olive oil until tomatoes are half covered. Place in a 325F oven for 40 minutes to cook slowly. Remove from oven. Add capers and anchovies. Set aside.

FOR THE HALIBUT:4 skinless halibut fillets, 5-6 oz

eachkosher salt/fresh ground peppercanola oil

Add 1/4-inch oil to a medium skillet, heat over high. Pat dry and season both sides of fish. Add to oil, reduce heat to medium, cook until bottom side is golden and fish is cooked 3/4 of the way up. Remove fillets to a plate, upside-down. They will “carry-over cook” the rest of the way.

Serve with tomatoes and a little of the olive oil. Use or save remaining oil as a bread dip or drizzle.

COMMUNITY

It’s late August, but the Kamloops heat remains out in force.

To reduce the risk associated with the hot, sunny weather, here are a few sun-safety tips

you can follow:• Drink lots of

water, even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can dehydrate the body.

• Avoid strenuous work in the heat and stay indoors whenever possible (if indoor tem-peratures are cooler than outside).

• Keep your house

cool by closing cur-tains and blinds and opening second-storey windows slightly to

allow excess heat to leave the house.

• Never leave infants and children or

pets alone in a parked car.

• Be sure to check regularly on family

members, friends or neighbours who may be at risk of heat-relat-ed illness.

Can your diet prevent cancer? Want your kids to have more veg-

etables? Are seeds safe to eat if you have diverticulosis?

Answers from dietitians to these and other food-related questions are now just an email away.

British Columbians are now able to email HealthLink BC’s dietitian services any nutrition or food-related concerns they have.

Dietitians at HealthLink BC provide nutritional information for everyone, regardless of age, includ-ing advice to help prevent or manage chronic disease.

Telephone access to registered dietitians through 811 is available Mondays to Thursdays between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. and on Fridays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Ten new registered dietitians have been hired, bringing the staff total to 30.

New dietitians will be available to support people in managing their chronic conditions, as well as answer-ing questions on such topics as baby nutrition, allergies and healthy eating in general.

Email a dietitian at HealthLink BC by going online to healthlinkbc.ca.

Don’t let the famous Kamloops summer heat become a foe


Enjoying a meal out at a restaurant can be a fun and enjoyable way for families to spend time together.

Now, the B.C. restaurant industry is partnering with the province to provide restaurant customers with the information they need to make the healthy choice the easy choice.

The $1.9-million Healthy Families BC -Informed Dining program will give customers the informa-tion they need to make healthier choices when eating out.

Participating res-taurants will add the Informed Dining pro-gram logo and a state-ment on their menu or menu board, letting customers know nutri-tion information for all standard menu items is

available upon request. Restaurants will

provide nutrition infor-mation (similar to what is currently found on packaged foods) before or at the point of order-ing in the restaurant.

Information may be provided on a bro-chure, a menu insert or poster.

Calorie and sodium content will be high-lighted and restaurants must also include information on daily sodium and calorie requirements.

Customers will then be able to make informed choices when choosing meals for themselves or their children.

It is estimated Canadians buy one in 10 meals or snacks from a restaurant.

By providing nutri-tion information in

restaurants, customers can make decisions that will help to pro-mote healthy weights and prevent high blood pressure and chronic illnesses, such as car-diovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.

The Informed Dining program is a component of the Province’s Healthy Families BC campaign

to reduce obesity and prevent chronic dis-ease.

It has been devel-oped in collaboration with the Canadian Restaurant and Food Services Association, the B.C. Restaurant and Food Services Association, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. and Yukon, chain and independent

restaurants and public-health partners.

Although voluntary for private retail food services, the program will be mandated in food-service establish-ments in health-care facilities.

In 2009, B.C. was the first jurisdiction in Canada to regulate the use of trans fat in res-taurants.

COMMUNITY

Healthy choices at the tableRestaurants partner with province to offer nutritional information

• According to the B.C. Restaurant and Food Services Association, there are about 12,000 res-taurants in the province.

• Nutrition labelling of pre-packaged food is already regulated by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

• Cardiovascular disease, diabetes and can-cer are estimated to cost the health-care system between $730 million and $830 million per year.

• Reducing sodium intake could prevent up to 23,500 cardiovascular events per year, such as heart attack and stroke, and could generate direct savings of $1.38 billion annually.

• The Canadian Council of Food and Nutrition reported that in 2006, of all the money spent on food in Canada, 40 per cent is spent in food-service outlets.

• People who eat more sodium than needed are at greater risk from high blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for stroke, heart disease and kidney disease.

• British Columbians consume more than double the amount of sodium considered ade-quate to promote good health in B.C., as recom-mended by Health Canada.

A young relative is not doing as well as they could. Step in, Capricorn, and give them a hand. Changes in procedure at work get a project back on track.

Technical difficulties doom a project from the start. Take a breather, Aquarius, and look outside of your organization for help. A letter bears great news.

Charitable contributions start the week off right. Work to keep the momentum going, Pisces. A family heirloom returns where it belongs.

Suck it up, Aries. You may be tired, but you’re almost there. Just a few more steps and your dream will be reality. An old school chum roots you on.

Family matters make for a trying but satisfying week, Taurus. Creative solutions will emerge, compromises will be made and peace will reign once again.

You’ve tiptoed around someone long enough. Step up and tell them what you think, Gemini. Their bark is worse than their bite. An auto problem is fixed.

Illness strikes but fades away quickly. Productivity lags. Take a break to clear your head, Cancer. A conversation at home reveals a need that only you can fulfill.

Youngsters clamor for your attention. Make time for them, Leo. A report receives glowing reviews from all involved. Celebrate with family.

Stand back and prepare to be amazed, Virgo. A colleague makes an important discovery, which will ultimately help you and everyone else on the team.

Poor Libra. So much has changed you don’t know what to do. Turn to a trusted friend for advice. Pleas for more help around the house do not go unheard.

Doggone it, Scorpio. Vacation plans fall through again. Perhaps it’s the planning that’s the problem. Wing it the first chance you get and see what happens.

Skipping a step is not a good idea, Sagittarius. You may be short on time, but thoroughness could mean the difference between success and failure.
