THIS WEEKHowling at Greyhound

By Andrea KlassenSTAFF REPORTER

[email protected]

Kamloops city coun-cillors have harsh words for Greyhound Canada in the wake of another round of potential ser-vice cuts for the city and surrounding communi-ties.

The bus line has applied to the provin-cial passenger board to reduce its minimum route frequency across the province, citing “unsustainable” losses of about $14 million in B.C.

While Kamloops would lose a few of its daily departures — the number of buses leav-ing for Vancouver and Alberta would fall from a minimum of 56 to 42 per week, for example — Mayor Peter Milobar said he’s more con-cerned for people living in smaller, regional com-munities.

If Greyhound’s application is success-ful, the community of Clearwater is set to lose one of its two daily stops and it’s not clear if it will be the afternoon or 2 a.m. departure that remains.

“It wasn’t that long ago that they actu-ally reduced the routes down,” Miobar said.

“It seems like Greyhound is trying to get down to the point where it’s a package-delivery service that hap-

pens to pick up people when it’s not inconve-nient for the people driv-ing freight around the province.”

Milobar also criti-cized the time period the bus line had allowed for public comment.

The submission peri-od closed on Wednesday, Oct. 17, one day after council had its first chance to discuss the route change.

Coun. Marg Spina said she’s concerned about the effect the ser-vice cut could have on seniors who no longer drive.

Spina argued the bus line shouldn’t be allowed to operate without com-petition as it does in the province if it’s not going to run adequate routes.

“They have the monopoly. If they can’t do a good job of it, I say open it up and let the market settle it that way.”

Coun. Pat Wallace said she had little sym-pathy for the bus line.

“I think we should write a very strong letter of disenchantment,” she said.

“We don’t know their economics and it’s prob-ably not our business,” Wallace said.

“But, I can tell you the few times I’ve gone up there to send some-thing, they’re unloading a tremendous amount of freight — and that’s money.”

Kamloops will play host to about 700 ath-letes with disabilities in February 2015 when it hosts the B.C. Special Olympic Winter Games.

Lois McNary, vice-president of sport for Special Olympics B.C. appeared before city council this week to ask the city to officially invite the organization to host its event here.

She said Kamloops has a “proven record of hosting athlete-centric Games,” noting the city impressed organizers when it last played host to the Games in 2003.

The Games will feature athletes going for gold in the seven Special Olympics B.C. winter sports: Alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, curling, figure skating, floor hockey, snowshoeing and speed skating.

At stake is the

opportunity to advance

to national and interna-

tional levels of competi-

tion.

Top performers in

Kamloops will earn the

right to advance to the

2016 Special Olympics

Canada Winter Games

in Corner Brook, N.L.,

where participants will

compete for the chance

to move on to the 2017

Special Olympics

World Winter Games in

Austria.

Athletes will stay

in School District 73

classrooms throughout

the Kamloops event.

2015 Special Olympics on way to city

By Tim PetrukSTAFF [email protected]

BIRDS OF A feather might not always flock togeth-er after all.

That’s what a University of B.C. researcher discovered after studying data collected from a Kamloops-specific group of songbird.

Kira Delmore, a PhD student in zoology at UBC, attached 38 “backpacks” to birds in two groups of

Swainson’s thrushes — a

medium-sized songbird found

in forested areas across North

America.

One group was in the

Vancouver area; the other in

and around Kamloops.

“We wanted to see whether

these two groups are taking

different routes to get to their

wintering grounds,” Delmore

told KTW, explaining the

birds spend the cold months in

Central America.

“And, we found these guys

really were taking very differ-

ent routes.”

Not only that, they also fly

solo.

Delmore said thrushes fly

alone and at night, unlike other

birds that migrate in groups.

While the Lower Mainland

birds flew south along the

Pacific Coast, following the

water to their winter hangout,

the heartier Interior thrushes

took a route east over the

Rocky Mountains and south,

stopping in Alabama before

crossing the Gulf of Mexico

and heading to Central

America.

That determination —

something Delmore said had

already been a common belief

among zoologists — was just

the first part of the research,

though.

Now, she’s looking at

a “hybrid-zone” group of

Swainson’s thrushes west

of Kamloops, where the

two groups have been inter-

breeding and creating a new

group.

“The routes the birds are

taking are genetically deter-

mined,” she said.

“They’re not getting help

from their friends. So, this

hybrid group, rather than

going east or south, we think

maybe they’ll go somewhere

in between.”

That in-between route

might be over the Cascade

Mountains, Delmore said.

And, it won’t be long

before she knows for sure.

“We have the data back and

I’m just in the middle of ana-

lyzing it,” she said.

“Hopefully, we’ll know

within a few months.”

Delmore said the informa-

tion will be passed on to con-

servation officials along the

birds’ routes.

For instance, she said,

authorities in Alabama will be

notified about the pit stop the

Kamloops thrushes make, with

the goal of having the data

considered when new conser-

vancy projects are planned.

How do you get backpacks on little birds? Very carefully . . .

Fitting locator units on birds that weigh between an ounce and 1.5 ounces is no easy task, Delmore said, so researchers had to think out-side the box.

Swainson’s thrushes, she said, are not big enough to support a GPS unit.

Instead, researchers fas-tened tiny light-detecting geo-locators to the birds’ backs.

“It measures the intensity of the light,” Delmore said.

“Basically, it tells us how long the day was and when noon was.

“From there, we can deter-mine longitude and latitude.”

Swanson’s thrushes in Vancouver and Kamloops were fitted with light-detecting geo-locators as researchers sought to determine the paths the Vancouver group and Kamloops collection take to get to Central America in the winter. As the map to the right shows, the Vancouver birds took the Pacific Coast route, while the Tournament Capital thrushes preferred to cross the Rockies and fly through the U.S. Deep South.

LOCAL NEWS


The Christmas postal season will be “a nightmare” for Kamloops residents due to a move by Canada Post to have local letters sorted in Vancouver, accord-ing to the head of the local postal workers’ union.

Beginning Nov. 4, the national postal service will no lon-ger sort local mail in Kamloops, opting instead to ship the let-ters to a plant in the Lower Mainland and back again for deliv-ery.

“If you’re in Kamloops and you’re sending a letter to your grandmother on the North Shore, it’s now going to be shipped to Vancouver,

where they can wait to get around to sort-ing it,” said Bob Mitchell, president of the Kamloops local of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

“The delivery time will go from one day to three to four days.”

Mitchell said local postal workers learned last week about the move to ship sorting duties to Vancouver.

“This is happening in locations across the country,” he said.

“Kelowna was also identified and, recent-ly, I was told Merritt sortation will go to Vancouver as well.”

According to Mitchell, sortation work at the Dalhousie Drive location in Kamloops employs about 10 casual work-ers and five full-time employees.

While none of the unionized staff are in danger of losing their jobs, he said about 20 local positions haven’t been filled in recent years in anticipation of cuts to the Kamloops Canada Post facilities.

Canada Post spokesman John Caines said Mitchell is wrong about the job losses.

“This change and attrition are two very separate things,” he said.

“People are using us differently and we have to react to that. We’re doing it by managing our people and resources better.”

Caines also took issue with Mitchell’s prediction about local delivery times.

“Our standard is two days local, three days provincial and

four days national,” he said, noting Victoria’s local mail is already sorted in Vancouver.

“Nothing’s chang-ing. This is an internal

change for us. There will be no changes to delivery.”

But, according to Mitchell, people will notice when Canada

Post is put to the test in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

“Honestly, I believe this Christmas is going to be a nightmare if

Canada Post follows through with this move,” he said.

“They can barely keep up now.”

Local postal work-ers wore black arm-bands on Tuesday, Oct. 16, to protest the sorting move.

Mitchell said he hopes the show of solidarity will get the word out to custom-ers.

“What we’re trying to focus on is inform-ing the public of these service reductions,” he said.

“Canada Post’s reason for being is to provide a service.

“Unfortunately, they’ve focused on profit over service.”

Postal union warns of longer delivery times in cityCITY COUNCIL SENDING LETTER TO CANADA POST

Kamloops city council is firing a letter off to Ottawa and Canada Post regarding plans to stop sorting mail in Kamloops.

Starting Nov. 4, Canada Post will cease sorting local mail at its Dalhousie Drive facility.

Instead, it will be shipped to Vancouver, sorted and shipped back. It’s a change that has Mayor Peter Milobar concerned.“Obviously it’s jobs, but also you have that potential of local mail

and regional mail needing to be shipped to Vancouver and sorted,” he said, noting he is concerned the change will lead to delays for local busi-nesses and bill payers.

He plans to write to the federal government, as well as Canada Post, “seeking clarification” on the decision and whether it can be reversed.

“It can’t hurt to ask,” he said.

Drugs found on driver in crashBy Tim Petruk

STAFF [email protected]

Police believe drugs may have played a role in a violent four-car

collision on a downtown Kamloops street this week that sent three

people to hospital.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said police found two baggies

of drugs in the possession of the driver of the vehicle believed to

have caused the head-on crash.

“There may be some link to drug use and we have to look at

that,” he said.

The 29-year-old man, who was behind the wheel of an older-

model Chevrolet Blazer SUV, was being checked out by doctors at

Royal Inland Hospital following the collision when the drugs were located, Learned said.

He was receiving treatment for head injuries that turned out to be minor.

According to Learned, one of the baggies contained crack cocaine, while the other was filled with gel-cap tablets.

Police are now seeking a warrant to obtain a sample of the man’s blood for testing.

The crash, on West Victoria Street just east of Overlanders Bridge, took place at about 1 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 15. Investigators believe a westbound vehicle crossed the centre line and collided with oncoming traffic.

Learned said it could potentially be months before there is any word on potential charges.

A 28-year-old Kamloops man will likely face a charge of aggravated assault following an early-morn-ing stabbing this week at a Sahali apartment.

A 25-year-old Pritchard man was knifed in the neck at about 12:30 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 15.

Police believe the attack occurred in an apartment on Whiteshield Crescent. The man was later dropped off at Royal Inland Hospital by an acquaintance.

The man who drove the victim to hospital was later arrested and released. That man’s roommate was arrested the following day and is expected to be for-mally charged with aggravated assault.

Both the accused and the man who drove the vic-tim to hospital live in the Whiteshield Crescent apart-ment and both are known to police.

Tsk, tsk . . . tickets for textingKamloops Mounties handed out seven tickets for

texting while driving during the first of many distract-ed-driving enforcement blitzes this month.

On Monday, Oct. 15, police were First Avenue and Columbia Street looking for drivers talking and texting while driving.

In addition to the seven tickets for distracted driv-ing, Mounties handed out nine tickets for seatbelt vio-lations and two tickets for failing to stop at a red light.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the enforce-ment will continue for about a month — and noted there are no excuses.

“We’ve done everything we can to warn people,” he said. “It’s no secret.”

This four-vehicle accident on Victoria Street West on

Monday, Oct. 15, sent three people to hospital.

Troubling news delivered to Kamloops

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

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKVIEWPOINT

They seem, in some respects, icons of a bygone era, once-ubiquitous essentials of life now being elbowed aside by technol-ogy.

Canada Post and Greyhound are looking at more changes to services that has city council and others concerned about the impact those changes may have on Kamloops.

Canada Post’s union is sounding the alarm on the corporation’s plan to move all local mail sorting to Vancouver from the

Dalhousie Drive office in Sahali.

The union is warning of mail delays, especially during the busy Christmas season. Canada Post says not to worry, that most mail sorting is already done in Vancouver and that delivery times will remain unaffected.

Those who still use Canada Post will find out who is right within a few short weeks.

Meanwhile, the union is con-cerned the Kamloops sorting building may be closed and jobs may be lost.

Greyhound says it is losing millions in B.C. and is look-ing at reductions in the num-ber of bus trips in and out of Kamloops and smaller towns in the region.

These possible cuts follow the company’s decision, as of Oct. 14, to move the Kamloops dispatch centre to Ontario, eliminating 11 local jobs in the process.

In this day and age of texts, emails, cheaper vehicles and increased regional air service, it is interesting to note two alleged relics from the past — the mail and bus service — still have a profound impact on society, as is evident in the concern their plans have elicited locally.

Sometimes, you don’t know what you might miss until the threat arises that it will be gone.

Talk and talk and talk to your kids — and listen, really listenA

NYONE REMEMBER David Wright, a 17-year-old Ottawa teen?

How about Hamed Nastoh of Surrey?

Jamie Hubley, an Ottawa teen?Marjorie Raymond of the Gaspé?

Akash Wadhwa of Mission? Let’s try Daron Richardson

of Ottawa and Mitchell Wilson of Pickering, Ont.

Ashkan Sultani, who used to live on Vancouver Island?

Maybe Brendan Deleary, an Ontario teen?

Every one of them killed them-selves in the past decade.

Every one of them was a Canadian teen who was bullied.

Add to that list Amanda Todd — and you can be assured the list will continue.

Absolutely nothing we as adults do will ever rid the world of the evil that is bullying, nor will we find the cure to save those fragile souls that finally break from it.

A report released in April by researchers at the Public Health Agency of Canada said youth-suicide rates in our country have been declin-ing since 1980.

However, if you look at the actual numbers, while the overall trend is downward, the decline has happened just for the guys.

The suicide rate for girls has con-tinued to rise.

The report speaks for itself: “In 1980, a total of 249 males and 50 females between ages 10 to 19 com-mitted suicide in Canada, according to the study.

“By 2008, that number had fallen to 156 for males, but rose to 77 for females.”

Every time the media reports on a teen suicide, the inevitable reac-tion from the public follows the same agenda.

We all condemn it. We all demand government do something to stop it.

Someone in government — usually on the opposition side — condemns the governing side for failing our teens.

Teachers and school administrators say we must all work together to end bullying. Memorials pop up with ten-der remembrances of the dead teen.

And, then, something else comes along to take over the news agenda.

We all go back to our homes, safe in the smug belief our family will never have to endure what the grieving parents, siblings, relatives and friends will now live with every single day.

And, we forget.We forget Jamie and Marjorie and

Ashkan and all the others we cried for just weeks or months before.

Maybe that’s one way we can actually start to do something to have

some sort of impact on bullying and suicide.

Maybe if we as parents and care-givers realize the teen years are tough, that maybe we pamper our kids too much and create self-indulgent, enti-tled children who have lost that spark of true humanity in them — perhaps that might help.

Children aren’t born hateful.They learn it. Maybe they learn it at home or

from their peers but, ultimately, some-how, they decide they have the right to judge others.

We can criminalize bullying, we can create anti-bullying programs and we can tell our teenagers it will get better, but the simple fact is for some, it never will.

For some, the bullying will con-tinue — on both sides of the conflict.

So, here’s a suggestion.Let’s not just rise up and rail

against bullying and teen suicide after the next headline — and then move on with our lives.

Let’s not politicize it or do more studies into it.

Let’s talk about it with our kids — really talk about it. Talk and talk and talk. Then listen. Really listen.

Don’t just ask if they’ve ever been bullied and then smile when they tell us no. Talk to them about it, even if they say it’s not an issue for them.

Teach them — really teach them — not to judge others because someone might also judge them.

And, let’s not forget all those youngsters we’ve lost.

Re: Bass column: Talk and talk and talk to your kids — and listen, really listen:

“I so agree, Dale!“If we could all just

close our eyes for a moment and picture a world with no bullying, what a beautiful place we would live in.

“So, everyone ask yourself — what are you going to do today to teach about how not to bully, including our-selves, so we can live in a world without it?

“How about starting a conversation over a cup of tea and cookies with your kids when then get home from school today?

“Reena Virk back in 1997 was my wake-up call.”

Re: Letter: Let’s not be lulled by complacency on Ajax mine:

“I’m against the mine, but the statement, ‘We were smart enough a few years ago to veto fluoride in our water supply and we can be smart again,’ seems like the letter writer doesn’t think the people of Kamloops are smart.

“This letter would have been better off without this sentence.

Editor:Mines are required

to post a bond regard-ing the cleanup of the site once all the valuable ore has been removed.

The bond is posted by a bonding company and a fee is paid by the mine owners out of the profits of the mine.

In most cases, the fee is paid on monthly or quarterly bases.

This is how it works:

Once the ore has been removed, the mine owners close the mine and dissolve the mine’s corporate identity. This means there is no long anyone to pay the fee to the bonding agent.

This means there is no longer anyone responsible for the mine-site cleanup.

It must be remem-bered that both the mining entity and the bonding agency knew this would be the way it worked and that, under this pro-cedure, neither would be required to pay the cleanup costs.

Therefore, the bond-ing fees would be a way to shut the public up.

In addition, it would collect much less money than required for the job.

When the mine has been emptied of valu-able ore and the miners move on, the prov-ince’s revenue drops due to the decrease in the province’s share of income tax on miner’s

wages and the loss of spin-off money that occurs in the city.

The provincial finance minister would then be put into a situation that would require him to state something to the effect of, “Well, we can’t spend money we don’t have.”

Bingo!We are now left

with a couple of big holes in the ground, toxic ponds and creeks here and there and a serious dust problem all over the place.

This has happened in Montana in a num-ber of places.

It would be much better if the province were to take over the role of bonding agent and have the fee put into a separate account, not the be touched by grubby politicians or bureaucrats or used for any other purpose until such time as the mine peters out.

This way, the amount collected could realistically cover the actual cost of the cleanup.

This money has to be separate from all different taxes and fees the province collects.

This would solve one aspect of our concerns about the proposed Ajax mine. It would also take a large tax burden off of our children — if we choose to clean up the mess.

Have province become mines’ bonding agent

Editor:Just as frightening

as the apparent bullying epidemic itself is the deafening silence, and thus implicit condon-ing, by some media to cover and condemn the extremely irresponsible, thorough cyber-outing of a man by totally unac-countable Anonymous, the latter which claims the man was/is the lead cyber-stalker who bul-lied teen Amanda Todd to death.

The man was liter-

ally fully identified — including name, address and phone number — all except for any possible identifying birth marks.

Although the man, of course, denies Anonymous’s claims against him, for the sake of justice and not just hot-headed and possibly erroneous vigilantism, I truly hope Anonymous is completely accurate with its cyber research.

Already a different man, coincidently with the same name as the

outed guy, has been cleared of any confusion regarding his unfortunate name match.

At the very least, Anonymous should perform the ethical and moral act of making transparent how they can accurately declare some guy, whom they’ve 100 per cent identified online, guilty — espe-cially of such a politi-cally and socially sensi-tive crime.

Retired judge Thomas Braidwood is “very pleased with the response” to his recom-mendations on the use of Taser stun guns by police in the wake of Robert Dziekanski’s death in 2007.

Dziekanski, 40, was emigrat-ing to Canada from Poland. He was planning on living with his mom, Zofia Cisowski, in Kamloops.

Braidwood testified this week before a legislature committee after a senior RCMP official reported on training and proce-dure changes that led to an 87 per cent reduction in use of Tasers to subdue people.

Braidwood emphasized that he stands by the core finding of his inquiry, which is that police in B.C. should continue to use Tasers with new training and strict new rules.

Those provincewide rules include requiring police to determine the subject is caus-ing bodily harm or is about to, and mandating “de-escalation” or crisis-intervention tech-niques be taught and used

before a Taser is deployed.Braidwood described a basic

technique that could have been used when four Richmond RCMP officers approached a dis-traught Dziekanski at Vancouver International Airport.

If one of those officers had simply pulled up a chair and sat down, Braidwood said, Dziekanski would likely be alive today.

Similar techniques can defuse even violent domestic disputes, rightly considered by police to be their most dangerous calls, said Braidwood, a former prosecutor who went on to serve as a B.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeal justice.

The Taser rules also require police to have an automated defi-brillator in the car or in a super-visor’s vehicle in communities of 5,000 people or fewer.

Independent testing of stun guns is also required and the rules also apply to all municipal police in B.C.

RCMP Assistant Commissioner Randy Beck told the committee that new training began in 2011.

By then, the fallout from the Dziekanski case had led to a

steep decrease in use of Tasers.Braidwood noted that, so far,

there has not been a correspond-ing increase in police use of guns.

“Have more police officers been injured while restraining violent subjects, or have officers discovered that other tools in their arsenal, such as training in crisis-intervention techniques, have resolved many of these potentially dangerous confronta-tions without resorting to use of conducted energy weapons?” he asked.

“It would appear to be a fruit-ful area for more research.”

Braidwood’s inquiry led not only to new Taser procedures, but also to the establishment of B.C.’s new Independent Investigations Office, the civil-ian-led agency that began work this summer to take control of all police-involved incidents that result in death or serious bodily harm.

Braidwood said the steps taken since his inquiry have filled a gap in the civilian over-sight of police that is “a funda-mental tenet that distinguishes Canada from totalitarian or dicta-torial states.”

Braidwood praises Taser reforms in B.C.

Retired judge Thomas Braidwood is “very pleased with the response” to his recommendations on the use of Taser stun guns.LEFT: A Taser stun gun similar to those used by RCMP officers.

Your body gets ener-gy by making glucose from foods like bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, milk and fruit.

To use this glucose, your body needs insulin, which is a hormone that helps your body control the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood.

Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which your pancreas does not pro-duce enough insulin or your body does not properly use the insulin it makes.

If you have type 2 diabetes, glucose builds up in your blood instead of being used for energy.

You can live a long and healthy life by keep-ing your blood glucose levels (the amount of

sugar in your blood) in the target range set by your doctor.

You can do this by eating healthy meals and snacks and getting regu-

lar physical activity.

For Lynn Kelsey, there is an obvious way for the medical profession to understand how to work with people who have diabetes.

Think of the patient as the driver of a bus.

Sometimes, the bus might have an L on it and the driver needs a co-pilot to help them along — but, they’re still the one doing the driving.

They decide who comes along and who doesn’t.

They know where they’re going — and the medical team working with them needs to do its part on the trip alongside the driver.

“I’m in control,” Kelsey said.“I do need support, but I’m in

control.”Kelsey, who lives in

Penticton, is an advisor to an Interior Health Authority (IHA) 18-month project aimed at improving the system of care for adults with Type 2 diabetes.

It’s part of a three-year plan the IHA has developed and involves patients, the medi-cal system, pharmacists and other caregivers in Kamloops, Kelowna, Williams Lake and Lillooett.

Overseen by Colleen Kennedy as director and with Dr. Maureen Clement handling the medical side, the project is looking at how the system can work better to meet the needs of, and fill the gaps experienced by, people with diabetes.

That’s a large community in the IHA area, with an estimated 53,000 people being treated for the disease, 8,000 of them in Kamloops.

That number doesn’t include adults who have the disease,

but have not been diagnosed, Kennedy said at a press confer-ence on Wednesday, Oct. 17, during a two-day regional meet-ing of collaborative participants at Thompson Rivers University.

Clement said a cornerstone of the approach the collaborative is promoting is to have people with diabetes manage their own care, with support from those who provide that care.

Kelsey said a hospital stay she had demonstrated how the health-care system needs to adjust to allow this to happen.

Her insulin and glucose moni-

tors were taken from her during

the stay and the nurses took on

those functions.

“They were doing to me.

They were doing for me,” Kelsey

said.

“But they didn’t consider me.

Nothing about me without me.

That’s my view.”

Type 2 diabetes: The basics of the disease

Hormonal breakouts affect many teenagers today. But teenagers are not the only ones; acne can strike adults too - more than half of all adult women and about a quarter of adult men.

Many women will typically see breakouts during their menstrual cycle due to hormonal fluctuations. Estrogen dominance due to hormone replacement therapy, the birth control pill, xenoestrogens from the environment (BPA, phthalates, parabens) or a sluggish liver can also contribute to hormonal breakouts.

EstroSense is a unique natural formula that helps maintain healthy hormone balance by supporting the liver and in turn, healthy skin.

A Barnhartvale fam-ily will get to keep its third dog after all.

At its regular meet-ing on Oct. 16, city council voted to over-turn a decision to deny a three-dog variance for the Duczak family, as long as they build an enclosure on their property.

The request was originally denied because the family has a history of dog-at-large complaints and had expressed little interest in fencing their yard or penning their dogs.

But, in a letter to council, Otto Duczak

said he would agree to buy a dog run. He also criticized council for taking complaints made against him seven years ago into account when making its decision, calling it “against the principals (sic) of fun-damental justice.”

While the applica-tion was approved, councillors Nancy Bepple, Pat Wallace and Nelly Dever opposed reconsidering their decision because of the Duczaks’ com-

Cavers’ carriage request approved

A city councillor’s application to build a laneway home is mov-ing to public hearing.

Coun. Donovan Cavers has applied to rezone a Douglas Street property owned by his mom, Anne Grube, to allow the construction of a carriage house.

It’s the second such application to come

from a council member

this year.

Coun. Marg Spina’s

application met with

approval in September.

The decision passed

unanimously, but with

a lower than average

number of votes.

Cavers, Spina and

Coun. Tina Lange, who

owns a number of rental

suites, all recused them-

selves for the vote, and

Coun. Ken Christian

was absent.

While council voted unanimously to send a let-ter of displeasure to Greyhound Canada, council-lors Tina Lange and Arjun Singh were not entirely comfortable telling a private business how to oper-ate.

“If they are running empty buses or buses that are not full to a decent capacity, what will happen is the cost of a bus ticket will increase,” Lange said, noting it could make it more difficult for low-income people to access the bus service.

Singh wanted council’s letter to include some positive ideas for the bus line.

“I really do think they have an economic prob-lem right now that needs to be solved,” he said.

However, Milobar said it wasn’t council’s job to fix Greyhound’s business model, but to “make a very clear point that we’re not happy not just for Kamloops, but for people in outlying communities coming into Kamloops.”

On Sunday, Oct. 14, 11 workers in the Greyhound dispatch office in Kamloops worked their final shifts as the company has moved its fleet-dispatch operation to its Burlington, Ont., location.

Maureen Richmond, director of media relations for the bus company, said combining the two dis-patch offices is a business move to ensure efficien-cies.

She explained the staff involved are the people tasked with keeping track of the buses and ensur-ing they leave and arrive at designated times.

The change will not impact the ticket operations at the depot on Laval Crescent.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Credit Score and Home Buying Part IIWhat many prospective borrowers don’t realize is that the pricing of mortgages and other loans is based in part on their credit-worthiness, and a person’s credit score is the established measure for credit-worthiness. People with a lower credit score can fi nd themselves paying a higher interest rate, or denied access to certain types of loans. The good news is that by taking a few basic precautions, prospective borrowers can protect their credit report and credit score, and increase their access to better rates and a better choice of mortgage products.

Do you understand the difference between your credit report and your credit score? A credit report is a detailed history of how consistently you meet your fi nancial obligations and provides a picture of your fi nancial health based on your past behaviour. A credit score is an objective summary that translates personal information from your credit report and other sources into a three-digit number representing your overall credit-worthiness.

Both your credit report and score are important. When deciding whether or not to grant a mortgage loan, lenders refer to an applicant’s credit report and score, along with a range of other factors such as income, employment history, and down payment size. Generally, a credit score uses your past credit history to help predict how you might manage your credit in the future. The credit score used most often by Canadian lenders is the FICO score (developed by the Fair Isaac Co.), which is a number between 0 and 900. The higher your score, the more likely you are to be approved for a mortgage and receive favourable rates because the lender considers you to be a better credit risk.

Several factors are used by the two credit agencies in Canada (Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada) to calculate credit scores:

Debt payment history. • Amounts owed compared to your current credit limits with lenders. • How often you seek new credit. • Length of time you have had credit accounts. • Type of credit, such as car loans, lines of credit, credit cards, fi nance company loans. • Recent new credit or cancelled cards•

Fortunately, there are a number of steps that consumers can take to keep their credit report and credit score healthy:

Pay your debts on time – always meet due dates. Do not ignore unpaid bills. Borrow only the amount you can afford to repay. Numerous inquiries for your credit report can sometimes worsen your score. If someone is seeking a new credit card, furniture and department store loans then their credit score will be adversely affected. However, multiple inquiries within a 30 day period for car or mortgage loans are ignored. Reviewing your own credit fi le regularly to stay informed about the details on your fi le.

They’re not sure why it works, but Kamloops’ Graffiti Task Force has come up with a new strategy that seems to be discouraging taggers — paint it black.

Ronnie Bouvier, executive director of the task face, told city council that changing the colour of electrical boxes in McArthur Island Park from green to black has dramatically reduced the graf-fiti problem in the area.

“I can’t answer a reason to why they won’t tag on the black, but it’s amaz-ing,” she said during a report this week on the non-profit society’s activities for the year.

“At beginning of year, Mac Island was our worst park. At the end of the year, Mac Island is our best park.”

The task force has had similar luck with a couple other problem spots.

Painting the light-coloured doors of Brock Arena a dark shade of blue and painting park benches brown has also reduced tagging.

But, that has still left plenty of graffiti for the task force to clean up.

By the end of September, task force staff had removed more than 150,000 square feet of graffiti, compared to the 100,000 square feet they dealt with in all of 2011.

Of that, the majority of the vandal-ism took place in city parks, which accounted for 94,000 square feet of this year’s total.

Another 41,000 square feet of graffiti was removed from other city property.

Tagging on private property account-ed for less than 9,000 square feet.

“Of all of this tagging, 97 [per cent] is vulgarity, profanity,” she said, refer-ring to dirty words, racial slurs and threats.

“We really haven’t seen any art.”

Bouvier said the jump in numbers has

less to do with tagger activity than from

a staffing increase.

This year, the task force has two

crews working instead of one, made up

of members from the Thompson Rivers

University WolfPack baseball team.

With more bodies, the task force has

been able to clean up new areas of the

city, in some cases covering up tags that

were four years old.

The group is also looking at preven-

tion strategies, including anti-graffiti

coatings and murals.

While Bouvier said some Kamloops

taggers will still vandalize artwork, she

thinks murals could at least reduce graf-

fiti in major problem areas.

Potential mural locations include the

Salvation Army on Tranquille Road and

McArthur Island Park.

They see a problem and they want to paint it black . . .

It appears as though an abandoned campfire sparked a five-hectare blaze that scorched the slopes of a down-town Kamloops park on the weekend.

Kamloops Fire Rescue Lieut. Dan Funk said that’s what two days of investigation have shown following the fire on Sunday, Oct. 14.

“We did find an abandoned camp-fire up there,” he said. “It was basi-cally a place people were hanging out for a long time.”

Investigators also found other items — including beer cans and trash — in the area.

Funk said it’s unclear if people had been camped out in the park or if it was a party spot.

Emergency crews were called to

the fire at about 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. More than 30 firefighters were bat-tling the blaze before it was contained at about 7 p.m.

Peterson Creek is no stranger to fire activity.

In May, two grassfires in the park within a week were believed to have been intentionally set.

In 2009, serial arsonist David Glenn Hurst was arrested after a string of suspicious fires in the park. Mounties caught the 52-year-old after an elaborate old-school police stake-out caught him setting a tree on fire.

“Peterson Creek has been known to have some problems in the past,” Funk said.

Fires in parks are prohibited year-round.

Funk said the investigation is now in the follow-up stage, as photos and witness information is reviewed.

Campfi re may have sparked park blaze

Spread out over eight front and back lawns in Kelowna, Curtis Stone’s farm doesn’t fit the typical, rural image.

But, in three years, the young farmer has turned his three-quar-ter-acre land base into a successful commer-cial operation — and he thinks would-be farmers in Kamloops could do the same.

“It’s a perfect area for this kind of thing,” he said of Kamloops, citing its friendly growing climate and the abundance of big lawns.

Stone didn’t ini-tially set out to farm in other people’s yards.

Originally, he said, his goal was to home-stead.

But, when the cost of land in B.C. proved prohibitively expen-sive, he started look-ing at other options.

That led him to SPIN — small-plot

intensive — farming. Created by a

Saskatchewan farmer frustrated by mount-ing transportation and pest-control costs, the SPIN method involves growing high-value crops on small, densely planted areas of land.

“These guys are making over $50,000 on half an acre of land in the city and I was instantly intrigued,” Stone said.

“This is a good alternative for young people like myself and others.”

At Stone’s Green City Acres, those include pea shoots, salad mixes and small root vegetables like baby carrots and rad-ishes.

Most of the crops are sold to restaurants, but the farm also maintains a year-round stall at the farmers’ market and runs a small community-supported agriculture program, where people pay a fee in exchange

for a weekly box of fresh vegetables.

The homeowners whose lawns form Stone’s farm also receive produce in exchange for their space.

“It’s relatively small, but it is suc-cessful,” Stone said.

“We make a good living at it and I think we work a lot less hard than most farm-ers, when I compare the amount of hours we put in.

“Our land is so small and, because we farm so intensively, our beds are so dense-ly planted that there’s just not a lot of room for weeds.”

Stone will be

in Kamloops on Saturday, Oct. 20, for a two-hour urban-agricultural workshop as part of the Reel Change SustainAbility Film Fest running through the weekend.

His talk will include an introduc-tion to SPIN methods and a look at Green Acres’ own day-to-day

operations and origin story.

The talk is $15 to attend.

Tickets can be pur-chased in advance at farminginthecity.event-brite.ca or at the door of the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, 7 West Seymour St.

It runs from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Red Bridge Bicentennial Enhancement Project

2012 is our bicentennial year; celebrating Two Peoples, Two Rivers, 200 Years. What a perfect time to undertake this project!

The current 76 year old bridge was opened in 1936 and is the third foot and vehicle bridge over the South Thompson River. The fi rst was built in 1887; a second in 1912. They are all wooden trestle bridges using a Howe truss construction.

The enhancement project includes three phases: 1. Beautify the bridge entrance including signage. 2. Highlight the bridge’s history with prominent information kiosks at the Lorne St,. Entrance, in Pioneer Park and possibly on Mount Paul Way. 3. Light the bridge with solar fl ood lighting.

The enhanced bridge will improve the night panorama of the city both from the ground and the sky and become a “must see” place for locals and visitors alike.

Our goal is to raise $250,000 for the total project. We invite you to be a part of this historic venture.

As B.C.’s third rent bank opened its doors in Vancouver this month, Kamloops’ Homelessness Action Plan (KHAP) announced a similar program is in the works here.

The Kamloops rent bank would offer small, low-interest loans to people people facing eviction or loss of utility services who don’t have other assis-tance programs to turn to — income assis-tance or bank loans, for example.

“The general gist is that people who have been in stable housing for about two years.

“So, people who haven’t been mov-ing around, really the working poor, they would be eligible,” said KHAP co-ordina-tor Tangie Genshorek.

While the exact framework for the Kamloops bank is still in the works, Genshorek said appli-cants would need to provide proof that they could make loan repayments, which might be around $40 a month over two years on a loan of $1,000.

“It’s for kind of a specific group of peo-ple, really the work-ing poor.”

Those who don’t qualify for the loan will be directed to other assistance pro-grams and given help with applications.

The loan could go

to pay a month, possi-bly two, of rent, or to utility payments, and would be paid directly to the landlord or ser-vice provider.

Genshorek said the rent bank aims to help a segment of Kamloopsians who otherwise wouldn’t be able to get financial aid without putting themselves further at risk for homelessness.

“Oftentimes if you own a car or you have a small amount of assets, income assis-tance will deny you,” she said.

“So, people end up trying to sell their car because they don’t have a job and then they’re dependent on income assistance because they now don’t have a car to go to work. We’re really trying to stop that from happening.”

The program has secured about $15,000 in funding so far from the Thompson Nicola Cariboo United Way, the Interior Savings Centre Community Investment Fund and the Kelson Group, but is still seeking more funders.

Genshorek said KHAP is talking with the city and other organizations about granting possibilities, and the program will also require money for a staff person.

While B.C. rent banks are mostly privately funded — with the excep-tion of Vancouver’s, which will receive $149,000 over three

years from the city for administration costs — Genshorek said she’d like to see the province eventually fund the programs as the government of Ontario does.

She said a B.C.-wide program could go a long way toward ending homelessness in the province — and with less overall cost.

“If we go farther down the cycle to where people have spent a lot of time on the street, it takes a lot more dollars to

stabalize them,” she said.

“This is a front-end solution, rather than a band-aid.”

Kamloops’ rent bank will likely open sometime in 2013.

LeafSource Stops Pain Within Days!

ADVERTISEMENT

This coming from a customer who had tried every other natural remedy under the sun in the past few years to take away her pain. Ian, the owner of the health food store couldn’t believe his ears. He had fi -nally found the perfect product to stop his customer’s miseries. This is what every owner of a health food store dreams about, a natural product that receives so many outstanding testimonials on such a wide variety of health issues.

“I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started car-rying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has come back and thanked us over and over again” said Ian.

Before trying LeafSource, the woman had complained about her ongoing joint pain and was at her wit’s end. Although she had experienced some relief through the

numerous natural remedies she had tried over the years, the pain would never fully go away.

“She returned to my store, in tears, less than one week after buying LeafSource. I didn’t know what to make of this woman stand-ing in front of me crying, until she told me that within a few days of taking LeafSource her pain started to disappear and within a week it was completely gone - as if it was never there.” Ian goes on, “This coming from a woman whose painful joints and ongoing sciatica were so bad just one week earlier, that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.”

Why is it so eff ective?LeafSource is a 100% natural product de-rived from a proprietary organic mineral composite with over ten years of university research. LeafSource helps regulate the in-fl ammatory process and the body’s ability to repair itself.

The vast majority (70-80%) of the popu-lation over the age of 50 have joint prob-lems—often called osteoarthritis. This is due to the natural (or unnatural) wear and tear on joint tissue that develops through

the aging process. With joint infl ammation, movement is limited and pain can be con-stant. LeafSource seems to have the ability to help people get their mobility and zest for life back.

Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and infl ammation problems by resort-ing to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects. These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure. Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!?

LeafSource is a safe alternative to these de-structive antiinfl ammatory drugs that cause many more problems than they solve. It is safe to take up to six per day with absolutely no side-effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experi-ments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent anti-infl ammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction of infl ammation and pain within a few days.

People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/day. Typical mainte-nance is usually 1 capsule twice daily.

“It works! I’ll take another two bottles please!”

I have had cronic pain for over 15 years and have been going to a chiropractor monthly for pain therapy. I started using LeafSource two months ago and I am amazed at the results. I no longer have tendini-tis, carple tunnel or irritable bowel. My arthritis is manageable, all my joints are limber and I’m able to exercise again. My energy levels are up, my nails and hair are stronger and my skin is softer.

~ Debbie

I am pretty stunned what this has done for me in 8 days of taking LeafSource. For 18 years I have tried many many products ...most of them expensive. And most did not work at all. I had been on a mission to find a product that is doing exactly what LeafSource is doing.So here I am on day 9 with 90% of my pain gone. ~ N. W. - Toronto

Parking changes in the downtown core are the focus of an open house on Wednesday, Oct. 24, at Caffe Motivo’s Victoria Street location.

The Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association is planning a presentation and discussion session on a number of ideas it pitched to city council earlier this summer, said KCBIA executive director Gay Pooler.

Proposed changes include new credit-card friendly pay hubs, a move to $1 an hour street parking and 30-minute express parking stalls on Victoria Street.

There are also a number of longer-term plans aimed at adding new spaces to the downtown stock.

City council has so far supported the KCBIA’s suggestions and is due to discuss them further this fall.

“We’ve been to council, they’ve done a workshop and we just want to get the information out there about where things are at and just talk about some of the things that have come out of the discussion,” Pooler said.

Though suggestions came from the KCBIA’s own parking solutions group, KTW reported in September that a number of downtown business owners and staff weren’t aware the city was considering any change to downtown parking.

Pooler said the KCBIA is now working to get more information about the plans out to businesses.

A summary of the association’s proposal is on its website (kcbia.com) and members of the parking group are speaking one-on-one with business owners to get them up to speed.

“The information is getting out there. But, com-munication is always a challenge when you’re trying to communicate with 800 businesses,” Pooler said.

The open house will run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., with a formal presentation at 6 p.m.

It’s open to everyone, not only business owners.

Parking open house Oct. 24 Ministry of Forests, Lands and

Natural Resources Operations employees Bill Ashman (left) and Ron Vanderzwan lead members of the Professional Employees Association (PEA) in a march through downtown Kamloops on Tuesday, Oct. 16. The group is protesting what it says are ongoing cuts to the number of licensed professionals in the public service. PEA members have been bargaining for a new contract with the B.C. government since January.Dave Eagles/KTW

FALL HOME SHOW

The leaves are falling — and the eaves are filling.

The furnace may need an upgrade.

Maybe you’re thinking about replacing those leaky windows before really cold weather arrives.

Even if you are just curious about what’s new in home renova-tions, Interior Savings Centre is the place to be this weekend as the annual fall edition of the Kamloops Home and Leisure Show returns on Friday, Oct. 19, and vacates the downtown premises on Sunday, April 21.

“We are the Tournament Capital of Canada, but we are also the Home Show Capital of Canada,” said organizer Jim Rice, who created BC HomeShows in 1998.

This weekend’s hours are Friday (5 p.m. to 9 p.m.), Saturday (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and Sunday (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.).

As always, admission is free.This weekend’s event features more than

180 exhibitors set to show their wares to the thousands who will visit, perhaps with their to-do lists in hand.

“It’s still the best place to come for ideas on building plans, renovation, landscaping, leisure — just about anything that has to do

with your home,” Rice said.“There will be lots of new products and

services. Consumers have a great opportu-nity of selection.”

Exhibitors from throughout B.C. and from across Western Canada will take part in the Interior’s largest home show.

A word of advice for those wishing to attend.

Since the home show is extremely popu-lar and can be busy, Rice said the best time to attend is right when the doors open.

“You miss the rush and you get good parking,” he said, noting parking has been reduced on Lorne Street due to the removal on some on-street parking to accommodate the new Sandman Hotel going up at the corner of Lorne Street and Third Avenue.

BC HomeShows Ltd. has been stag-ing home shows for 14 years and serves the communities of Kamloops, Kelowna, Merritt, Penticton, Salmon Arm and Vernon.

With the days getting progressively colder and the heater working to keep your family warm, it makes sense to ensure your home does not have any drafts that can allow the heat to escape.

Air leaks within a home not only make rooms feel uncomfort-

able, but also allow warm, heated air from inside to escape quickly, which can drive heating bills upward.

In poorly lit or below-grade areas, any cold drafts and dampness can also be a concern.

Using energy-efficient insulation can help

address air leaks, as well as help improve comfort.

For instance, spray-foam insulation creates a continuous air barrier by expanding within seconds to fill in every gap, crack or crevice to mitigate any heat and energy being lost.

Spray-foam insula-

tion seals the building envelope and provides a cost-saving option to help reduce monthly heating bills.

Over the long-term, the savings can quickly add up and drafts become a thing of the past.

Smart homeowners

who address air leaks will not only reduce energy waste, but they can expect to spend less on

heating ventilation. Spray-foam insulation

is a modern, eco-friendly solution giving hom-

eowners the opportunity to eliminate household drafts with confidence.

The No Pipelines, No Tankers speaking tour will be in Kamloops on Wednesday, Oct. 24, at 7 p.m. in room

CT200 of the Clock Tower Building at Thompson Rivers University.

Speakers will include Maude Barlow, national chairperson of the Council of Canadians, Jim Cooperman of the Shuswap Environmental Action Society, Sven Biggs of Tanker Free BC and Janice Billy, Secwepemc activist and

educator, or Kanahus Pelkey of the Secwepemc Nation Youth Network.

The tour is being held to oppose the Enbridge Northern Gateway, Pacific Trails and Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline proposals, the latter of which would see an existing route twinned through some of Kamloops.

Stephen Lewis Foundation, and Zahra Mohamed, manager of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign.

Registration fee is $15, which includes lunch.

The Kamloops Grannies began as a response to Stephen Lewis’ speech as part of the President’s Lecture Series at Thompson

Rivers University in 2004.At that time, Lewis talked of

grandmothers in Africa raising their grandchildren — and often watching them die — all as a result of the prevalence of AIDS in that continent.

His foundation works in Africa to help families dealing with HIV and AIDS.

Return-It Depots leading the way in province-wide milk container recycling program

A voluntary recycling program initiated by the BC Dairy Council in 2006 where consumers could drop off empty milk containers, at no charge, is proving to be a huge success. Services are provided by Ewncorp Pacific, which manages the 166 Return-It Depots throughout the province that recycle milk containers into viable products, thus keeping them out of our landfills.

BC residents have taken to recycling milk containers through the depot network in a big way.

In the first six months of 2012, BC residents returned over 8 million milk cartons and jugs to Encorp depots around the province - weighing in at an astounding 340,000 kilograms. That’s more than the weight of a double decker Airbus A380 “super jumbo”. Talk about heavy lifting!

Increased participating depots plus increased volume-per-depot leads to impressive growth

Part of this increase is due to the greater number of depots which now accept milk containers - now 166 compared with only 117 just five years ago. But it isn’t just the number of depots, BC residents are returning more containers to each depot in the system which helps explain the impressive growth.

Given the average household in BC goes through 6 ½ milk containers per month, the growing network of participating Return-It Depots has made it easier for British Columbians to do the right thing and recycle responsibly, and the good habit is catching on.

Recycling plastic uses 1/3 less energy than manufacturing new plastic

All milk containers recycled through Return-It Depots get put to good use. Plastic jugs are cleaned, pelletized and used to make dozens of practical items, including new bottles, plastic buckets and pails. The high-quality paper fibre in milk cartons is turned into pulp and used to make household tissue products, cardboard boxes and writing papers. Thousands of tonnes of paper pulp are recovered from recycling milk cartons and for every tonne of paper pulp recycled, approximately 17 trees are saved.

New products from old containers

Milk cartons are made mostly of high quality paper fibre which is pulped, cleaned and then made into new products like toilet tissue. Milk jugs are cleaned, chipped into flakes and then sent to be remelted and made into new containers, strapping and a host of other products.

All milk, cream, and milk substitute (soy and rice) beverage containers –

whether they are plastic, cartons or jugs – are recyclable and accepted at participating Return-It Depots. Although plastic jugs are the most popular form of packaging for milk in BC, polycoat milk cartons (paper and plastic) are also used. Because this type of carton, commonly referred to as a “gable-top”, is not usually accepted in curbside blue-box programs, milk carton recycling is available through participating Return-It Depots across the province.

Bring milk containers to Return-it along with deposit-bearing containers

Returning milk containers is easy, just take them to the depot when you return your deposit-bearing soft drink, water, juice and liquor

containers. Simply give them a quick rinse to remove any residue and then flatten them for easier storage. Don’t forget to take off the lids and bring them into the depot as well - they can be recycled too.

You didn’t pay a deposit on the milk containers so you won’t get a refund but you do get the satisfaction of knowing your milk containers will be recycled into new products and won’t occupy space in the landfill.

Milk Container Recycling Reaching Jumbo Proportions

To find the participating Return-It Depot nearest you, call 1-800-330-9767 or visit www.return-it.ca/milk

Environment

Across BC, people are recycling more empty milk containers than ever before. Over 8 million jugs and cartons were spared from BC landfills in the first six months of 2012, weighing an incredible 340,000 kilograms – a trend that, if it continues, will mean a record-breaking year of milk container recycling in BC!

“The total number of milk containers recycled in the first six months of 2012 is nearly double the weight collected in all of 2007!” says Mike Dick, president of the BC Dairy Council.

IN THE AFTER-MATH OF 15-YEAR-OLD AMANDA

TODD’S SUICIDE, THE ISSUE OF BUL-LYING HAS RESUR-FACED WITH A VEN-GEANCE.

Bullying is a com-plex issue and there are no simple solutions to solving it.

There are strategies that can be put in place at schools and in other places children and youth congregate, but the most devastating and inescapable bully-ing — and the type of bullying that ultimately led to Amanda’s suicide — is done anonymously and at a distance through cyber-bullying.

When a tragic death occurs, it is natural to look for someone to blame and for an agency or group to step up and “do something” about it.

Why aren’t schools doing more?

Where is the gov-ernment in all of this?

Why don’t Internet providers report abuses when people use their

computer to hurt oth-ers?

The answer to all three questions simply remains: It sounds good in theory, but it is not at all easy.

There are a number of elements to bul-lying but, today, we are going to reduce it down to just one: Why are some kids the vic-tims of bullying and others not?

Researchers have identified three factors that can be observed in a child’s behaviour that help to set him or her up for bullying.

• Some kids have little ability to pick up on and respond to non-verbal cues from their peers.

• Rejection from peers causes children mental-health issues, social isolation and dramatically increases the risk of poor grades and later substance-

abuse issues.• The social skills

kids learn during unstructured play time or when not being directly supervised and watched by adults are carried throughout their life.

When not being watched, children experiment with rela-tionship styles and are not often even aware of the mistakes they make that cause social rejection.

Kids who have social problems also have problems in read-ing non-verbal cues, understanding social meaning and coming up with options for resolving a social con-flict.

Some children may not notice facial expressions or signs of impatience or have trouble separating their own needs from those of a peer.

When this happens, they increase the likeli-hood of social rejec-tion.

When children have difficulty social-izing, it can set up a vicious circle of issues: Shunned children have few opportunities to practise social skills, while popular kids are busy perfecting theirs.

A five-step process can help children learn social skills after a social misstep:

First, ask the child what happened and lis-ten without judgment.

Next, ask the child to identify their mis-take as, many times, children only know someone got upset, but don’t understand their own role in the situa-tion.

Third, help the child identify the cue they missed or mistake they made by asking some-thing like: “How would

you feel if you were that person?”

Next, you can cre-ate an imaginary but similar scenario where the child can make the right choice.

Finally, give the child social homework by asking him to prac-tise a new skill and tell you how it went the next day.

The recipe for creating a target for bullies involves low

self-esteem, lack of confidence, anxiety, humiliation and a feel-ing of isolation.

Parents can look at how they interact with their children and ask if they are creating some or all of these dynamics in their own home.

Parents and other adults also need to help children take responsi-bility — not blame — for negative things that

happen to them. When something

goes wrong, learn from it and do something differently next time, rather than react like a victim.

If you have a question about

bullying or have a story you want to tell

us, write to us at [email protected]

because we love to hear from you.

Three factors can set child up to be bullied


LARRY HERBERT (BUD) MCCARTHYPassed away peacefully on Oct 6, 2012

in the Peter Loughheed Hospital in Calgary, AB

Bud was born in Regina to Charlie and Agnes McCarthy on October 5, 1938.

He grew up in Regina and was very active in sports. In high school he played football and, as a young man, he played ball in summer and hockey In the winter. He coached the Regina Pats Junior team for a few years. During this time he also worked part-time for CPR in the customs department. He then worked for the T. Eaton Company.

In 1966, he moved his family to Kamloops, where he had a variety of jobs. He then went to work at Weyerhaeuser for the next 27 years, retiring in 1999.

He sat around Kamloops for a while and decided retirement was not for him, so he went to Calgary. He had a few jobs but wasn’t ready to sit around all day and do security so he decided to go to work with his son in the concrete business. He worked there until he got sick and was diagnosed with ALS. He spent the next 23 months in the hospital until his passing.

Bud’s volunteer service was mostly in minor hockey. Bud was president of Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey when the Kamloops team won its fi rst championship.

Diptendra Mitra December 14, 1926 - October 13, 2012

Being a parent is no easy job. There is no guidebook, so the best you can do is approach every day with love for your children. Dip Mitra was a father who did just that.

Dip was born in Calcutta, India in 1926 and after graduating from University; he emigrated to England, attended the

London School of Economics, and then eventually moved to Canada. He settled in Kamloops in 1969 with his wife and three boys and began a career as a Senior Chemical Engineer with Weyerhaeuser Kamloops Pulp Mill till his retirement in 1992. Dip was an incredibly detailed oriented and cerebral man. He was able to perform staggering calculations with a slide rule and was incredibly talented at his job with numerous published articles to his name. On the fl ip side, his favorite movie was Harry and the Henderson’s and he loved to watch wrestling. More than anything, Dad cherished his respect. While not everyone always liked the questions he may have asked, my dad worked hard to gain their respect. Ultimately, he always approached his family with true love and that is really all you can ask for.

Dip passed away on October 13 and is survived by his ex-wife Julia, three sons Devendra, Nicholas and Christopher, his daughter-in-law Alisa and his two grandchildren Casie and Keenan (who always put a smile on his face). All of us were lucky enough to be close by in his last few days. He also leaves two brothers, Santu and Laltu, who reside in India and were recently able to reconnect with their brother after over 40 years.

Dad had 86 years on this planet, but even after his passing, he is still making a huge impact on the lives of his family. No formal service is planned for dad; he was a private man. If you would like to pay your respects, take a moment to tell your family how much you love them.

Thank you to Dr. Conley, Dr. Michaud, Dr. Schumacher, Lianne Berst from the Kidney Clinic and the entire staff of RIH-ER and RIH 7-North for their incredible level of care.

FRIESEN-HEINZELMANAugust 14, 1948 – October 15, 2012

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Donna Beverly Friesen (nee Heinzelman) of Kamloops. Daughter to Clarence and Esther Heinzelman, both predeceased and also by her brother Max.

Donna is survived by her husband Thane Sr., her sons Thane (Andree) and Jason (Dasha), her grandchildren Jacob, Deja, Mick, Dasha, Jelise and Cade. Also left to cherish her memory are her sisters Dorothy (Greg) and Brenda, her brother Brian, her niece and nephews Leif, Alison, Dane and Forrest.

Early in her life mom moved to Quesnel with her family attending school. The family construction business surrounded mom with some honest hardworking tough guys. She led her life this way. At 17 not completing school she moved to Vancouver to live with an aunt and started work in a furniture factory. On November 27, 1965, married dad and started a family over the next few years. Mom worked in a plywood plant and at SuperValu. By the age of 24 with two young boys mom lost her mother and became parent to her younger siblings, holding the family together.

In 1973 we moved to Kamloops. Mom became an avid hockey mom taking us to our games and practices while maintaining a household. She was a great cook and always looked after us. Years later she worked at the Kamloops News as Supervisor in the classifi eds. Here she loved the great times with her co-workers and customers, enjoying many laughs with her great sense of humor and open

ear to anyone. Over the years mom enjoyed many holiday occasions with family executing her great cooking skills. We spent this last Thanksgiving with her, which was her favorite holiday. It was the fi rst time she was not able to cook. Mom’s hobbies were antique collecting, cooking and was an avid gardener. She loved and was always surrounded by animals. Her grandchildren meant everything to her and she was very proud of them. Mom always had a place in her heart to give herself to people whether it was kids in the neighborhood, seniors at Tim Horton’s or people at the dog park. Social status was irrelevant to mom.

Larger than life Donna is gone but never forgotten.Our hearts are empty.

Special thanks to Dr. Stoltze and the staff of Interior Health. Please in lieu of fl owers donations to the Kamloops SPCA in memory of mom would be appreciated.

Rest in Peace, mom!

A Private burial will be Friday, October 19, 2012 at Hillside Cemetery.

A party and celebration of mom’s life will be held on Saturday, October 20, 2012 from 2:00 to 5:00 pm at the Colombo Lodge (rear

entrance), all friends and acquaintances of mom are welcome as well as friends of her family.

One night a man had a dream.He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky fl ashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life fl ashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.”

The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKSPORTS

AWARD SO NICE — HE WON IT TWICEFor the second straight week, Kamloops Blazer forward JC Lipon is the Canadian Hockey League and WHL player of the week. The 19-year-old from Regina recorded six goals and 10 points in three games — all Blazers’ wins — in the week ending Sunday, Oct. 14. Lipon tallied a goal and an assist in Kamloops’ 5-2 home win over Victoria on Wednesday, Oct. 10, notched four points, including three goals, in a 5-1 win over Spokane at Interior Savings Centre on Friday, Oct. 12, and grabbed two goals and two helpers in the Blazers’ 5-2 triumph over the Hitmen in Calgary on Sunday, Oct. 14. He led the WHL in points with 24, including nine goals, as of KTW’s press deadline. Originally a Blazers’ list player, Lipon has appeared in 197 WHL games, gathering 34 goals and 123 points.

CORRYN BROWN and her rink-mates might

be curling with dollar signs in their eyes at the Valley First Crown of Curling, held from Friday, Oct. 19, to Monday, Oct. 22, at the Kamloops Curling Club.

“It’s our first big cashspiel,” said Brown,

the 17-year-old skip who led her rink — third Erin Pincott, sec-ond Samantha Fisher and lead Sydney Fraser, all 17 — to Canada Winter Games gold in 2011.

The most coin ever won by the Brown quar-tet at a bonspiel is $500, which it earned after bowing out in the semi-final round of the 2011 Rick Cotter Memorial junior cashspiel.

“That went into the

team bank account,” said Brown, a South Kamloops secondary Grade 12 student.

There will be $75,000 in prize money on the line at the Crown — $37,500 in the 24-team women’s divi-sion and $34,500 in the 21-team men’s bracket.

First place on the women’s side is good for about $8,000, most of which would likely end up in the team trust fund, if Brown were

to win.“My mom and Erin’s

mom deal with all the money,” Brown said.

“We don’t deal with any of that. I don’t know if they trust us.”

Brown, who wants to be a chartered accoun-tant, was not quite sure the rink is ready to han-dle its own finances.

“If it was us, we would probably buy team shirts and team jackets,” she joked.

Competition at the

Crown will again be fierce.

The women’s field includes entries from six countries — Japan, Korea, Russia, Denmark and China will square off with Canadian curlers from Alberta, Manitoba, the Yukon and B.C.

The men’s bracket is headlined by top-tier Canadian competition from B.C. and Alberta, along with curlers from the U.S. and Korea.

There are seven Kamloops-based rinks competing at the Crown, skipped by Mike Smith, Brent Yamada and Scott DeCap on the men’s side and Brown, along with Brandi Tinkler, Allison MacInnes and Lori Olsen on the wom-en’s side.

Andrew Bilesky, curling out of New Westminster, won the men’s title in 2011, while Michele Jaeggi

of Switzerland won the women’s championship.

The first draws in the triple-knockout format tournament are scheduled for 8 a.m. on Friday and the action will run throughout the weekend, with the play-offs slated for Monday.

Valley First employ-ees will be at KCC for the duration of the tour-nament, collecting food and monetary donations for the Kamloops Food Bank.

Brown rink homes in on green at Crown

Sydney Fraser (left), Erin Pincott, Corryn Brown and Samantha Fisher have won plenty of gold before, but they have never cashed any big cheques. That could change if they find

their stride this weekend at the Valley First Crown of Curling in Kamloops.

NAMING six current tennis pro-fessionals

isn’t that difficult for most Canadian sports fans.

You start with Nadal, then Federer, Andy Murray, Venus and Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova.

For a bonus point, most could come up with Novak Djokovic.

An avid Canadian court fan might even throw out the names of longtime Toronto star Daniel Nestor and our country’s current top-ranked player, Milos Raonic.

OK, smarty pants — here’s the next part of the quiz: Name Canada’s two Wimbledon champs from 2012.

Huh?It’s not a trick ques-

tion. Filip Peliwo

of Vancouver and Eugenie Bouchard

of Westmount, Que., won junior Wimbledon championships in London this past sum-mer and both are plan-

ning to start playing for pay as early as next year.

Canadian tennis is on the rise!

The victories at the All-England Club by the two 18-year-olds mark the first time players from Canada have won the world’s most prestigious junior tournaments.

But, to longtime tennis watchers, the tri-umphs weren’t that big a surprise.

Tennis Canada’s

(TC) Louis Borfiga was brought to this country from France for the express purpose of developing junior tennis stars.

Borfiga is vice-president of TC’s high performance athletic development and when he arrived he was trou-bled by discovering that Canada’s best young players were “playing to play, not playing to win,” according to Sportsnet Magazine.

There’s nothing con-fusing about what the TRU WolfPack men’s soccer team has to do this weekend at Hillside Stadium — win twice and they qualify for the Pacific Western Athletic Association (PWAA) playoffs.

TRU (6-2-4) is hosting the Capilano University Blues (2-3-7) at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 20, and the Vancouver Island University Mariners (8-3-1) at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 21, in what is the final week-end of the regular sea-son.

“If the boys concen-trate on the job in front of them and not next week, we will be fine,” WolfPack co-head coach Sean Wallace said.

“If they play the way we have them per-forming right now on Saturday, we should be OK.”

Only the top four

teams advance to the post-season.

The WolfPack sit third in the PWAA standings, one point up on both Kwantlen Polytechnic of Surrey and Langara College of Vancouver, both of which also have two games remaining, including one against each other.

“We believe the key to success is playing as a team and working for one another on the field for the common goal,” Wallace said.

“We are on a bit of a roll right now and the boys are playing with confidence, which is always good at this time of year.”

— with files from TRU

Pack go for killThe WolfPack’s

soccer women are in a less stressful spot than TRU’s men, with a playoff spot already secured, but there is still plenty on the line for them this weekend at Hillside.

A pair of wins —

against Capilano on Saturday, a 1 p.m. start, and VIU on Sunday, a noon kickoff — would give them the No. 1 seed heading into the PWAA playoffs.

The match will double as a farewell to Hillside for fifth-year players Blair MacKay of Kamloops, along with sisters Abbey and Chloe McAuley of Langley.

The PWAA playoffs will run on Friday, Oct. 26, and Saturday, Oct. 27, in Squamish.

A first-place finish would secure a spot in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association championships, held in November on Prince Edward Island.

Badminton is backThe TRU WolfPack

badminton team is host-ing a PWAA tourna-ment on Friday, Oct. 19, and Saturday, Oct. 20, inside the TRU gymna-sium.

The action gets underway at noon on Friday and at 9 a.m. on Saturday.

Former Pack head coach Brad Pape retired after last season, making way for Alex Perkin, a former TRU player, and his father, Ross, to take over.

“The team is work-ing hard at improving and getting to the level of play expected of university badminton,” Alex said.

“We are hoping for results from some of our key players on the weekend.”

Who are these guys?Unfamiliar oppo-

nents will arrive at the Tournament Capital Centre this weekend to play exhibition games against the TRU WolfPack’s men’s bas-ketball team.

SPORTS

The Western Roofing Nailers topped the Salmon Arm Silverbacks 11-4 in atom development exhibition play on Sunday at Memorial Arena.

Recording points for the Nailers were Logan Stankoven (4G, 1A), Nolan Virgo (3G), Brendan Kirschner (1G, 1A), Harrison Ewert (1G), Carson Evoy (1G), Matthew Mariona (1G), Devin Benson (1A), Andrew Senger (1A), Jacob Proulx (1A), Noah Bradley (1A) and Austin Hammond (1A).

Austin Krug and Adam Niles split time between the pipes for the Nailers.

Vibe unbeatenThe reigning

Western Canadian champion Kamloops Vibe opened their South Coast Female Amateur Hockey League campaign with four wins on the week-end.

Kamloops, playing

in Surrey, knocked off

the Victoria Phantoms,

4-1, the Richmond

Devils, 2-0, the Trinity

Western Titans, 8-0,

and Victoria, 4-0.

Ashley Fisher post-ed two shutout wins in net for the Vibe and Alissa Hibbert recorded a doughnut of her own.

Recording points on the weekend were Shelby Easton (5G, 1A), Alyssa Reid (2G, 4A), Rochelle Smith (2G, 4A), Elaine Topolnisky (3G, 2A), Jenna Ormandy (4G, 1A), Gaylene Smith (4A), Kayla Keeping (1G, 2A) and Desiree Blair (1G, 2A)

The Vibe’s next games are scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 20, at 11 a.m. and Sunday, Oct. 21 at 11:15 a.m — both will be played against Simon Fraser University at McArthur Island Sports and Event Centre.

Raiders ransackedThe Kamloops

Players Bench Raiders dropped a pair of games to hometown Greater Trail in peewee tier 2 play on the week-end.

Trail blanked

Kamloops 2-0 on

Saturday and 4-0

on Sunday.Jarrett Larsen,

who made 33 saves on Saturday, and Ethan Langenegger, who stopped 36 shots on Sunday, did their best to quell the Trail onslaught between the pipes for Kamloops.

Bandits fourthThe Kamloops

Scotiabank Bandits finished in a tie for fourth at the Winfield Bruins atom develop-ment tournament on the weekend.

The Bandits opened pool play Friday with an 8-1 loss to the Vernon Venom. Tyson Galloway scored the lone marker for Scotiabank, while Bailey Monteith and Zach Kohorst split net-minding duties.

The Bandits roared back on Saturday morning to down host Winfield 8-5. Reed Watson led the way with two goals, while Galloway, Reagan Milburn, Brendan Hunchak, Branden Toye, Justin Vinterlik and Keegan Fletcher each singled in support of winning goaltender Kohorst. Vinterlik also picked up two assists.

The Bandits wrapped up pool play

with a 4-3 loss to the Kelowna Legends on Saturday afternoon — a game Kamloops trailed 4-0 after nine minutes, but rallied to not only make it close, but to nearly tie it in the final two minutes of play. Vinterlik, Michael Hutchison and Connor Jensen tallied for Kamloops, which went with Monteith between the pipes.

Scotiabank then met the Legends again Sunday in the game for fourth place. This time, the teams waged a back-and-forth battle and settled for a 4-4 draw. Watson, Vinterlik, Galloway and Milburn scored for the Bandits and Kohorst stood tall in net.

Milburn, Fletcher, Vinterlik and Galloway were all winners of the tourney’s game MVP heart and hustle awards. Fletcher, Kohorst, Vinterlik and Luke Petrie nabbed the team’s hardhat award for hardest-working player.

The Bandits return to league play on Sunday, when Vernon pays a visit to McArthur Island Sports and Event Centre at 9:30 a.m.

From A37

The success of Peliwo and Bouchard show that Borfiga’s efforts are paying off.

The two work out daily at the National Training Centre in Montreal for about 10 hours, including more than six hours on the court.

Said Borfiga to Dave Zarum of Sportsnet Magazine: “Before, there was no system; everybody was training all over the place. My first goal was to regroup the best players in the same place with the same coaches.”

The grouping strate-gy is obviously paying dividends.

Peliwo, ranked No. 1 in the world in junior boys, and Bouchard, now No. 2 among the world’s female set, could perhaps be the world’s next Nadal and Sharapova.

Why not?, says Borfiga.

“It’s a change in mentality,” the ten-nis guru told Zarum. “That’s the point we’re trying to make: Why not Canada?”

THEGHOSTGHOSTTRAINTRAINISLEAVINGWill You Dare Board?

On a spooky Halloween night in 1915, steam locomotive 2141 left Kamloops and chugged north to Blue River.

As the train and its 44 passengers approached Wolfenden, a mysterious green mist arose and swallowed the 2141.

When the mist cleared, the locomo-tive, its passengers and its crew had vanished.

Nothing has been seen or heard from that train — unless it’s the Halloween season.

Legend has it the 2141 reappears at the historic train station in downtown Kamloops, ready to take the living on a short, but eye-opening journey back in time — and across the line that separates this world from the afterlife.

Those brave enough to buy a ticket and step aboard the haunted 2141 may encounter the Undertaker and his mis-ery.

They may spot the anxious Bride-To-Be.

They may be approached by the Widow carrying a box, on which she carries . . . something too hideous to reveal in print.

They may come across a restless banker, a spooked salesman, a nurse and patient, a hurdy gurdy girl, a school-teacher, a grave digger, bridesmaids, conductors — and more.

They may steam past a graveyard and witness a scene that no amount of thera-py can erase from the memory.

And, they may hear the clip-clopping

of a horse and rest their frightened eyes on a body whose physical makeup defies logic.

The Kamloops Heritage Railway’s Ghost Train leaves from the Lorne Street station four more times during this haunted Halloween season: Saturday, Oct. 20, Sunday, Oct. 21, Saturday, Oct. 27, and Sunday, Oct. 28.

The train departs at 7 p.m. and may return — depending on whether it can find its way back from the other dimen-sion — at about 8:10 p.m.

The Ghost Train is very popular and sells out in short order. To check on available seats, call 250-374-2141, e-mail [email protected] or go online to kam-rail.com.

DO YOU HAVE YOUR CHRISTMAS WINE?

www.kamloopsthisweek.com B2 THURSDAY, October 18, 2012

By Dale BassSTAFF [email protected]

Hitting the road just

seemed like the right

thing to do for Matt

Mays.

It had been four

years since his last

release, Terminal Romance, and he was

looking for inspiration.

It didn’t hurt that he

likes to travel, he said.

Mays’ trip took him

to many places, but one

of the best for song-

writing, he said, was

California.

There was a sense of

freedom there, he said,

and it came out in his

writing.

It didn’t hurt that the

surfing there is awe-

some, Mays said, some-

thing akin to the kind of waves he’d look for in the ocean just off Nova Scotia.

The road’s not a foreign place for Mays, who toured extensively to promote his first, self-titled release.

For his second release, Mays added his band to the cover and hit the road again to promote Matt Mays and El Torpedo.

That one gave him two of his most endur-ing hit singles, Cocaine Cowgirl and On the Hood.

Known first for his work with the Guthries and then later as the frontman for Matt Mays and El Torpedo, it’s the singer-songwriter

in his solo guise — with a backup band of course — who will be at the Blue Grotto on Monday, Oct. 22.

The Guthries was a Canadian alt-country band based in Nova Scotia, the place the Hamilton-born Mays calls home, having lived there most of his life.

The band didn’t last long — it formed in 2000 and Mays was gone two years later — but developed a cult following.

As for a reunion, Mays said he and some of the other band mem-bers have talked about it and he’s pretty sure it will happen — but don’t expect a new release or tour.

If anything, it might be a concert in the hometown just to rekin-dle some memories, he said.

El Torpedo folded when some of the band members moved on in 2009, and Mays moved into his globe-travel-ling, songwriting phase to that led to his fifth

release, Coyote.Its creation hap-

pened after his trip through Canada, Indonesia, Mexico and the U.S., Mays said, and he sees the songs as following his own outlook on life, a sense of pure honesty.

Coyote was released last month and Mays’ tour started on Wednesday, Oct. 10, in Kingston.

It ends on Nov. 17 in Fredericton.

Also on the tour are The Meds, a Charlottetown rock band Mays discov-ered after listening to its demo CD while in

California.He connected with

the band and worked with it to develop its sounds.

The show at the Grotto also includes Gloryhound, a Halifax band.

Its first single, Electric Dusk, made it to No. 14 on Canadian active-rock lists and was nominated for rock recording of the year at the 2012 East Coast Music Awards, losing out to The Trews.

For more informa-tion on the bands, go online to mattmays.com, themeds.ca or gloryhound.com.

■ WHO: Blackdaze is composed of Darren Jones on bass, Todd Flodstrom on guitar, Russell Graham as lead vocalist and his brother Richard on drums and vocals. The Graham brothers are also members of the Infectuals and Jones is a member of Bluesfoot. Jones, Flodstrom and Richard Graham are also part of Fastlane.

■ WHAT: A poolside meeting at Flodstrom’s house led to tracking down a warehouse with a walk-in cooler — perfectly insulated for rehearsals — and, some paint, some posters, a fridge and gear later, rehearsals started going eight hours and the music flowed.

■ WHEN: The gene-sis of Blackdaze came from the threat of music and a desire to get together and play the songs the men had grown up with. Having also shared stages before in other bands, Jones said, there was a good chemistry already there.

■ WHERE: Blackdaze has played a lot of local pubs, including the Dirty Jersey, On the Rocks and Pogue Mahone Irish Alehouse. It’s booked into the Shark Club in Vancouver for a show and then will be back in Kamloops for a Halloween show Jones said is a killer on Oct. 31 at the Blue Grotto. Tickets for that show are $10.

■ WHY: It’s more

than just a love of music for Blackdaze. It’s having grown up lis-tening to Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers,

Motley Crue, Pantera and, of course, Ozzy Osbourne alone that inspired them to get together, have some fun, play the songs they love and share

that passion with their audience.

IF NAGGING IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SO MANY failed relationships, I wonder what the designers of my hood vent/microwave had in mind when they hardwired a nag feature into the appli-

ance?At first, it hadn’t seemed such a bad idea. Having previously discovered day(s)-old

spaghetti abandoned in a microwave after wan-dering off to check my email, I got where they were coming from.

But, by the second double-beeping nag of my new nuker, I forgot its context and became certain it had been designed with forethought and malice in someone’s blackened heart.

Beepbeep! Your one-third cup of oatmeal is done!

Beepbeep! I’ve reheated the edges of your soup, but the middle is still cold.

Beepbeep! Spaghetti sauce is now splattered everywhere!

Nevertheless, I should probably be grateful.Back in the Dark Ages, as a kid in a family of my

mother, my sister and myself, we didn’t have a microwave.

Like cave people, we had to heat leftovers in a pot on the stove or else slide a covered casserole dish into the oven and (quelle hor-rors!) wait.

When we did finally get our first big brown box, which took up two-thirds of the kitchen’s usable counter space, everything changed.

All of a sudden, things that used to take half an hour to reheat only took 20 minutes in 30-second intervals, with stirring in between.

“Sure, but you can’t actually cook in that thing,” someone pointed out.

And so it began. As though a gauntlet had been thrown down, my mother

began a quest to find a recipe — an actual recipe — that

works in a microwave.Decades have passed and the quest is still in progress.“Here, try this,” she says as she hands me a savoury egg

dish, cooked in a plastic contraption from the 1980s, that has no doubt pre-seeded the eggs with tumours.

I sniff and hand them back.“It’s hard to believe these brownies were done in the

microwave, don’t you think?”I do not.“You have to try this casserole. It was done in the . . . ”I stop her and insist microwaves are only good for two

things — warming leftovers and melting butter for muffin batter.

Sometimes I’m not even sure about those.Meanwhile, on the other side of the radiation shielding, a

different family member is getting rid of her microwave.“Causes birth defects,” she, having menopaused in the

1960s, explains.

For years ,we have been told deep-frying is bad for you, but new research published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition suggests it actually retains more anti-oxidant capacity in some vegetables than boiling or pan-frying.

In fact, some vitamins

such as A, D, E and L, and beta-carotenes (found in yams), lycapene (in tomatoes) and luteinzeax-anthin (in spinach) actu-ally require fat in order to be absorbed by the body.

Unlike a skillet or pot, a deep fryer has an immersed heating element that keeps oil at the ideal temperature throughout

the cooking process.This forms a barrier so

only a small amount of oil penetrates the food to cre-ate a crispy crust.

Steps to perfect frying:• Select the right oil:

Opt for healthier oils that are low in saturated fat and have a high smoke point like peanut, soybean and palm oil, which have compounds that won’t breakdown at high tem-peratures.

• Oil temperature:

The key to minimizing fat absorption lies in reaching and maintaining the right oil temperature which, for most foods is roughly 375 F.

Any cooler than 325 F will result in foods soaking up to three times more oil.

• Remove excess: Always blot cooked foods on a paper towel to remove excess grease before eating to keep calories and fat as low as

possible.• Filtering and con-

serving your oil: Oil can be reused up to six times if properly cleaned and stored in an air tight con-tainer.

Quality units feature built-in filtration and stor-age systems that remove food particles and auto-matically drain the oil to keep its healthful proper-ties.

Sometimes the beeps are worth the beeping

“It said so in one of those emails I get,” she says, then presents a meat pie that’s been reheated, from frozen, in a toaster oven.

The pie, I discover, is holding at roughly the same temperature as microbiology-lab incubators all over the world.

But, because I was taught to always be polite, even though my life may be on the line, I resist the urge to ask for a microscope and a slide.

And, I do the only thing I can.

I take a bite, then another.

I smile and say thank you, while secretly wishing for my micro-wave — nag feature and all.

GLOBAL VIEWS

MAYBE they gave the Nobel Peace Prize

to the European Union because they couldn’t think of anybody else who wouldn’t embarrass them.

Nelson Mandela already has one. So does Aung San Suu Kyi. Barak Obama has one, though what for is not exactly clear.

They even gave it to Henry Kissinger once, but we probably shouldn’t go into that.

So, who’s left? We’ll just give it to

the European Union. Nobody’ll notice that.But, they did notice

and some of them were not amused.

“A Nobel prize for the EU at a time Brussels and all of Europe is collapsing in misery? What next? An Oscar for [European Council President Herman] Van Rompuy?” asked Geert Wilders, the Dutch euro-skeptic.

“Rather than bring peace and harmony, the EU will cause insurgency and violence,” warned Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party (which wants Britain to leave the Union).

France’s leading newspaper, Le Monde, asked on its website: “But, who will go to Oslo for the EU to receive the Nobel Peace Prize? As trivial as it may seem, the question raises [the legitimacy] of an entity . . . whose institu-tional stops and starts and lack of democratic rep-resentation are regularly criticized.”

The EU was an elite project from the start and policy for the 27-member union is still set mostly by politicians and offi-cials, not by citizens.

So, don’t send a Brussels bureaucrat to Oslo to collect the prize. Send some ordinary citi-zen, chosen by lot, to rep-resent the 500-million citi-zens of EU countries who don’t even have a vote on most EU decisions.

However, don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

The original purpose of the Nobel Peace Prize was to honour people who worked to put an end to the terrible wars that have repeatedly devastated the European continent (and much of the rest of the world as well) over the past four centuries.

The EU has made a major contribution to that task, but that is not its greatest achievement.

It has been 67 years since there was a major war in Europe. Indeed, there have been no wars in Europe at all, apart from the various civil wars in the 1990s in for-mer Yugoslavia (which was not a EU member).

More importantly, a war between any of the EU’s member countries is now quite unthinkable.

“This started after the [Second World] war — putting together for-mer enemies,” said EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso in an interview with the BBC.

“It started with six countries and we are now 27, another one [Croatia] is going to join us next year and more want to come.

“So, the EU is the most important project for peace in terms of transnational, superna-tional co-operation.”

That’s a bit over the top. The United Nations surely has more to do with 67 years in which no great powers have fought each other.

As do two generations of American and Soviet officials and politi-cians who showed great restraint and managed to avoid a nuclear war that would have devastated the world.

You could even give some credit to nuclear weapons themselves,

which forced the great powers to behave more prudently than usual.

The great virtue of the European Union, despite its democratic deficit at the Brussels level, is that all member countries must be fully democratic, relatively uncorrupted and fully observant of civil and human rights.

Not only has this prevented some members from backsliding into intolerance and authori-tarianism in times of great stress, it has also been a huge incentive for prospective members to clean up their act.

Would Greece, Spain and Portugal all have ended up as full democ-racies after overthrowing their old dictators, and in the latter two cases as relatively honest ones as well, if not for the changes they had to make to qualify for EU membership?

Would the nine ex-communist countries of Central Europe that emerged from the long night of Soviet tyranny in 1989 have created mod-ern civil societies practi-cally overnight without a great deal of aid from the EU? Would they even have bothered, without the incentive of future EU membership?

Would Turkey have striven so hard to entrench respect for civil rights in the law and force the military to retire to their barracks permanently if it had not been offered the prospect (sadly betrayed) of EU membership?

The Nobel Peace Prize is a misnomer. It should actually be the Nobel Democracy and Human Rights Prize.

Occasionally, it goes to some person or organization whose main purpose is build-ing international peace, but much more often it goes to people whose accomplishments, or at least goals, have been to make their own countries democratic and respectful of human rights.

And, if that is the real criterion, then the European Union truly does deserve the prize.

COMMUNITY

A touring transcen-dental meditation pro-gram will be coming to Kamloops next week.

Chelsea McCooey is a certified teacher of the Vancouver-based Transcendental Meditation Program and she will be in Kamloops from Oct. 22 to Oct. 26 to teach transcendental meditation.

It has been taught for more than 50 years, with more than six-mil-lion people practising worldwide.

Transcendental meditation is intended to allow the body and mind to settle to such an extent that it is able to gain deep rest and throw off accumulated stress and strain.

Transcendental meditation is taught in seven steps, the first two of which encom-pass the complimentary introductory talk/prep talk. It is about an hour in length, plus time for questions, and explains

the benefits a person can gain from practising the natural technique and how it works.

After learning about the technique, there is the option to have a personal interview, then learn to meditate in four consecutive days.

Introductory talks will be held at the Best Western Plus boardroom, 660 Columbia St., on Monday Oct. 22, at 6 p.m. (general public) and 8 p.m. (women only).

For more informa-tion, go online to maha-rishi.ca, email [email protected] or call 1-604-817-5993.

Prestons on the wayWhen it re-opens

next month, the former Ora restaurant in the Coast Kamloops Hotel will become a Prestons

Restaurant, the third location for the brand.

It is also in the Coast Cola Harbour and Coast Chilliwack hotels.

The restaurant will feature traditional West Coast cuisine with Mediterranean and Asian flavours.

Romeo Oloresisimo will remain as chef.

The interior decor will be changed to fea-ture chocolate brown, grey, silver, black and red finishes.

There will be both lounge and restaurant-seating areas, as well as the patio.

The Coast Kamloops Hotel is located at 1250 Rogers Way.

Explore haunted citySpooktacular tours

have returned to the Kamloops Museum this month,

The public is invited to join the Kamloops Museum and Archives on a haunted tour that will explore scary burial

grounds, historical spooky spots and vari-ous locations where the echoes of hangings, murders and forgotten souls can still be heard wandering around — at

any time of the day or night.

Some driving is required and be pre-pared for all weather conditions. Cost is $15.

The Haunted

Kamloops tours take place on Oct. 23, Oct. 24, Oct. 25 and Oct. 26.

Each day has two tours, one from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and one from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Each tour has a specific course number needed when register-ing. Register by calling 250-828-3500 or by going online to kamloops.ca/ezreg.

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEK EYE ON COMMUNITY

Welcome to KTW’s Eye On Community page, where we showcase through the camera lens, positive events in Kamloops. If you have a photo of a charity donation, a grand-opening picture or other

uplifting images, email them to [email protected], with “eye on community” in the subject line.

HOME HARDWARE HONOURS: Rob Wallace, public relations and promotional events manager with Home Hardware Stores Ltd., and Paul Straus, president and CEO of Home Hardware Stores Ltd., present Rick Kurzac, dealer-owner of Kamloops Home Hardware Building Centre with the Paul Straus Public Relations Award, which is distributed to Home Hardware deal-ers for outstanding commitment to the community.

REACHING THE SUMMIT:Summit Tools sales associate Ken Smith (left) helps customer Keith Hanna of Itec Enterprises find a diamond tip circular saw for cutting Hardi plank during the Valleyview store’s recent official opening.

PUROLATOR DELIVERS: Purolator has donated a refurbished curbside delivery vehicle to the Kamloops Food Bank as part of an overall initiative celebrating the 10th Purolator Tackle Hunger season, which, by the end of the year, will have donated 10 trucks to 10 food banks across Canada. This truck donation helped kick off the Kamloops Food Bank’s Fall Rotary Food Drive — an annual city-wide food drive that, since its inception in September 2008, has collected more than 250,000 pounds of food for the community. Here, Nicole Dupuis (right), Purolator’s manager of corporate philanthropy, and Purolator teammate Chris McLennan hand over the keys of a delivery truck to Kamloops Food Bank executive director Bernadette Siracky.

SCHOLARSHIPS FOR ABORIGINAL STUDENTS: The Royal Bank of Canada donated $1,000 to the Howling Coyote Education Fund as a part of being the title sponsor of the annual Howling Coyote Golf Tournament, which raises funds for scholarships for aboriginal stu-dents in the Kamloops-Thompson School District. RBC representatives are Connie Schleppe (left), Tanya Kingwell, Len Bell and Luc Pellerin. Accepting the cheque are Renee Spence (right), Deb Draney and Russ Chambers.

community & its people, because we live here too.

FAITH

Man: Who he is and what he can becomeT

HERE ARE THREE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE

THAT CAN LEAD US TO THE BIBLICAL CONCEPT OF MAN.

The first comes from Psalm 8, probably from the pen of David.

“When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him.

“For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and has crowned him with glory and honour.”

The original Hebrew says: “You have made him a little lower than God,” which is a proper and preferable transla-tion.

The Psalmist says man, when compared with the vastness of the

universe, seems insig-nificant.

Yet, it is upon man that God has bestowed His greatest glory.

Man is the crowning effort of all creation, for he is made in God’s own image.

Let us never forget that.

Whatever man has become, he was cre-ated with honour and dignity.

He was made for God.

God breathed into him the breath of life,

and he became a living soul.

Thus, inspired by God, man has risen to great heights of achievement.

He has written son-nets of infinite beauty.

He has composed magnificent anthems of praise which have drawn men nearer God.

But, reality brings a note of tragedy.

What has man done with this glory in which he was created?

Has it brought him closer to God or made him more fit to bear the divine image in which he was created?

We need only look at our world for the answer: He has pros-tituted his God-given power and used his con-summate skill for his own destruction.

He has turned his mind, which has been able to unlock the

secrets of nature, not to good, but to evil.

No wonder there is confusion in our minds.

There can be some understanding when we turn to Paul’s state-ment in Galatians 6:14: “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

This devout excla-mation was born out of the realism in which the great apostle lived.

The New Testament never minimizes the failure of man.

God has not forsaken man.

This is the note that must be sounded again and again. It is the ray of hope in the darkness.

Though man has lost the glory with which he was created through his perfidy and sin, God’s redemptive love can restore him to his right-ful place.

Why did God sacri-fice His only begotten Son to redeem man?

Was it because of what man was?

No, it was rather because of what man could become by God’s grace.

This is the only basis for any moral optimism today.

Whatever kind of a monster man has made of himself, by the grace of God he can again become God’s man through Christ.

That leads us to the third word about man which comes from what is one of the neglected books in the Bible, Revelations.

It is a book with cryptic pages that con-tain a tremendous mes-sage for our times.

I am aware it has become the favourite camping ground for those who try to write

history before it hap-pens.

Yet, it might well have been written for these days, so timely is its message.

It is a vivid pic-ture of the inevitable struggle of good and evil, Christ and the anti-Christ.

Its glory lies in the full assurances Christ and his Kingdom must ultimately triumph over Satan.

Out of the ecstasy of his vision, John bursts into praise,:“Unto him that has loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood. . . . be glory and dominion forever and ever.”

Here is the final con-summation of man — man who was created in glory but who lost his favoured place through sin, will be restored to his place of glory as a king and priest before

God to reign with Him forever.

This is the biblical picture of man.

CorrectionThe Faith column

published in KTW on Thursday, Oct. 11, incorrectly identified John Noakes as pas-tor of the Kamloops Community Church. He is a member of its con-gregation.

KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page. Columns should be between 600 and

800 words in length and include a headshot of

the author, along with a short bio on the writer.

WE’VE DRIVEN THE FRASER

CANYON SO MANY TIMES DURING THE LAST THREE YEARS I COULD DO IT WITH MY EYES CLOSED.

In fact, when my husband’s behind the wheel, I sometimes do.

This scenic high-way is the link between our White Rock residence and Cariboo retreat and, though the journey has become a regular routine, it’s really worth staying awake to experience.

Usually, we zip through in an effort to get to our lakeshore sanctuary but, on this warm sunny day, we take time for stops and exploration.

In the process, we discover this beautiful byway is a destination in itself.

Hope, the gateway to the canyon, is a mountain-enshrouded enclave any woods-man would love.

In 1808, Simon Fraser passed through this area in search of a waterway to the coast.

Forty years later, the Hudson’s Bay Company had set up a fur trading fort.

More recently, it’s been named the chain-saw-carving capital of Canada.

Go figure. With all the tim-

ber around, it makes sense to whittle a little wood.

Eagles, grizzlies, wolves and bobcats are just a few of the chiseled images poised in park areas.

Historical tales weave a fine yarn when we check out the next two-bit town of Yale.

It’s hard to believe this sleepy hollow was once the largest city west of Chicago and north of San Francisco.

When the miners

hollered out, “There’s gold in them thar hills,” they must have all come running.

Twenty hotels and 15 saloons quickly rose from the dusty streets in this first

incorporated town on B.C.’s mainland.

There are walking tours, gold-panning demonstrations and museum memorabilia that share the stories.

As well as check-

ing out one of our province’s oldest churches, St. John the Divine Anglican, we read about Andrew Onderdonk, a moti-vated pioneer who was contracted to get

the Canadian Pacific Railway chugging through the canyon.

The historical saga continues when we pass through a dot on the map known as Spuzzum.

Although it’s cer-tainly not a must-see, this place, interpreted as Little Flat by the natives, was a toll sta-tion in the mid-1800s.

At that time, primi-tive passenger boats were the only way to get across the canyon.

As soon as Gold-Rush mania took over, the cruisers were replaced by the Alexandra Bridge and this money-maker evolved into the Wagon Road tolling station.

Everyone had pretty deep pockets back then, even the highway workers.

We cross to the other side of the can-yon and stop at the Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park.

Although there’s been a bridge at this locale since the Gold Rush began, it’s been replaced on four occa-sions.

After a 10-minute stroll, we reach the remains of a tarnished relic, the predeces-sor to the one we just crossed.

The wobbly silver-plated trellis beneath my feet leads to

nowhere and feels more like a shaky scaffold.

I edge out gingerly, and just long enough to provide a smile for that quick photo moment.

After whizzing by the Alexander Lodge, an antique B&B from the gold glory days, our ribbon of highway seems to take flight to higher ground.

While hugging up to the steep moun-tainside, we bisect evergreen thickets and cleave through tunnels of bedrock.

“China Bar, Sailor Bar, Hell’s Gate . . ”

We call out each name in succession and, like a couple of kids, hold our breath while driving through the granite-gouged passageways.

The claustrophobic canyon measures 35 metres at the narrow-est mark and the river below can run as deep as 50 metres during spring runoff.

Two-hundred mil-lion gallons of water forge through this narrow gorge per min-ute, a figure double the volume of Niagara Falls.

It comes as no surprise that taking on this aqueduct for Simon Fraser and his men would have been a tad challenging.

In order to conquer the feat, they had to string up bark lad-ders and tackle the torrents on makeshift rafts.

After losing a few along the way, they were pretty sure the river resembled the gates of hell — hence the name.

Today, getting to the other side of this gulch is a breeze.

From our Hells Gate Airtram, we’re privy to breathtaking views of both the can-yon and the interna-tional fishways.

And, while making the airborne descent from the highway to the river rock below, just like the rest of this Fraser Canyon journey, our eyes are wide open.

offers articles to newspapers.
