A small patch of

shade is invaluable

when you are about to

run a 3,000-metre race

in dry, 30 C Kamloops

heat.

It’s why four track

and field teammates

from the Northwest

Territories sat behind

a gate before warming

up for their next com-

petitions on Tuesday,

Aug. 9.

“A 3,000-metre race

at noon — I’m nervous.

It’s really hot right

now,” Johanna Stewart

said.

The 16-year-old

from Yellowknife was

at Hillside Stadium

with teammates Skylar Horton, 15, Alea Stockton, 17, and Julianna Neudorf, 15.

For many athletes at the Western Canada Summer Games, com-peting when the ther-mometer edges past 30 C is not that unusual.

But, for the girls from the North, where the mercury in summer rarely exceeds the low 20s, the Kamloops heat has been extreme.

“It’s not ideal for running,” Stockton said.

“You have to drink a lot more — more than at home. And you have to stay in the shade and wear sunscreen.”

On the morning KTW spoke with her, Stockton had already

consumed three bottles of water.

With a surplus of athletes and minimal shade at Hillside, the four girls were forced to

share a small patch of shade.

There are other unexpected issues that come with the heat.

Neudorf said the

track radiates heat because of its rubber material.

“You can definitely feel it,” she said.

The Games have not

set any rules relative to extreme heat, but there are standard water stations set up in long-distance events.

Though they aren’t accustomed to the heat, the girls from the Northwest Territories don’t feel like it’s much of a disadvantage.

However, Stockton acknowledged having less time to train out-side at home.

“It’s so cold that we can’t train as many months as them [the competition],” she said.

They all agreed cross-training in other sports is important and all grew up playing a wide range of sports.

It’s why Stockton and Stewart will remain

in Kamloops for the second week of athletic events (Week 2 sports begin today), as they prepare to compete in volleyball.

Horton will turn her focus to badminton.

As for Neudorf, she ran off the track and back to Yellowknife.

She wasn’t about to stay and lounge in the blistering sun.

In fact, none of the girls planned on absorb-ing natural vitamin D while in Kamloops.

“The sun will make your muscles tired,” Stockton noted.

Like all Games ath-letes aiming for gold in Kamloops, these girls aren’t interested in a tan — they’re here to win.

From the North and dealing with the heat

Skylar Horton (left), Julianna Neudorf, Johanna Stewart and Alea Stockton of the Northwest Territories warm up in the sun before their next competition. For these athletes used to summer temperatures in the low 20s, the 30-plus C days in Kamloops have been a challenge. Jessica Wallace/KTW

The famous Kamloops heat arrived just in time for the Western Canada Summer Games. While athletes at the 19 venues employed various ways to cope with soaring temperatures, these Team Saskatchewan rowers found the best way to beat the heat was to take a dip in Shumway Lake. Week 2 action begins today (Aug. 11). Marty Hastings/KTW

Dogs & HeatstrokeNow that the heat of summer is here, please remember that the car is not the place for your dog. Temperatures inside a parked car at this time of year can quickly climb well above 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit).

Dogs can withstand high temperatures for only a very short time – usually just 10 minutes – before suffering irrepa-rable brain damage or death.

Watch for signs of heatstroke in your dog including panting, vomiting, high fever and rapid heartbeat.

The best method of prevention is to leave your dog at home during the summer months. If you spot a dog in distress, please call the RCMP at 250-828-3000.

Athletes aren’t the only winners during the Western Canada Summer Games (WCSG) — Kamloops businesses are win-ning, too.

The Games have brought athletes, their families and friends from across Western Canada, keeping local businesses busy accommodating the throngs.

Three local hotel managers — Katie Bahnsen of the Accent Inn, Steve Earl of the Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn and Suites and Comfort Inn and Suites and Tim Rodgers of the Best Western Plus — all said summer is typically busy but, this month, guests are staying longer.

“This time of the year, we traditionally

do a lot of one-night-ers,” Rodgers said.

“It’s [Games] just making August that much busier.”

Rodgers said the hotel has received many compliments on the Games knowl-edge of the front-desk staff.

At Earl’s hotels, staff are prepared with knowledge of the Games and outfitted in Games attire.

As well, a service is provided to shuttle guests to the sporting venues.

“We’re providing the usual Kamloops welcome and good service,” Earl said.

Bahnsen has received a lot of posi-tive feedback from guests about the hos-pitality in Kamloops.

“From the gas attendant to the housekeeper, we’ve had the comment again and again.”

Restaurants are also busy.

“For the most part it’s been positive,” said Nick DiMambro, owner of Eastside Mario’s.

“The negative side of it is that, during the opening ceremonies and the big events, we see a decline in sales.

“There’s a big dif-ference in when we’re busy,” he said.

DiMambro said sales are steady com-pared with last year.

On the other hand, Jim Evans, co-owner of Bread Garden in the Park, said his res-taurant has seen a lot of business with fami-lies and teams and is much busier than last year.

The restaurant on McArthur Island is in a prime location to cater to athletes and spectators and has offered two-

for-one coupons on fruit smoothies for the duration of the Games.

“We saw more peo-ple than we expected,” Evans said.

The Games have had an impact on businesses and are likely having a similar effect with visitors, as Rodgers noted staff are refilling tourism pamphlets twice daily to keep up with the demand.

“They’re [guests] so hungry for infor-mation about the town,” he said.

“I can see this really benefitting us [Kamloops], not just in the short term, but in the long term.”

One of the largest group of companies in the country is eagerly waiting to see who will take the reins of the financially troubled Tobiano resort.

The Jim Pattison Group, which owns a 13-acre parcel of land within Tobiano, told KTW it is optimistic a new owner will be found, one who can carry on with the origi-nal plans of the resort.

“We’re hopeful that a new owner with a vision comes in that could carry it out and help build [Tobiano] out over time. That will be the best thing for the project,” said Michael Lee, vice-president of developments for the Jim Pattison Group.

The company bought the parcel of land in hopes of one day devel-

oping the space into townhomes.

But, citing the recent economic struggles in the golf-resort market, Lee said it’s unlikely such a project will get started any time soon.

“Until that [the market] turns around, I don’t think we would be confident enough to move forward,” he said.

Word of the resort’s financial woes broke in June, after the real-estate side of the resort and golf course was ordered into receiver-ship by a B.C. Supreme Court.

Pagebrook Inc. and Kamlands Holdings Ltd., companies owned by developer Mike Grenier, owe the Bank of Montreal debts total-ling roughly $26 mil-lion.

Meantime, the Bowra Group, which was appointed receiver of the golf resort by

the court, has since put together a sales package for about 100 potential buyers.

Douglas Chivers, a representative with the Bowra Group, said the company intends to start a larger sales cam-paign by taking out ads in national publications such as the Globe and Mail newspaper and Financial Post maga-zine.

He noted the com-pany has received some interest in the resort, mostly from local peo-ple and groups in B.C.

and Alberta.“It’s a little early for

a lot of people,” Chivers said.

The deadline for offers is Sept. 30.

Afterward, the receiver will review the offers and begin nego-tiations with interested buyers.

A local group called Save Tobiano has come forward with the goal to keep the course locally owned and open to the public.

Its website, savetobiano.com, seeks ideas from the public to help keep the resort locally owned.

Chivers said Bowra Group is also trying to get some form of a marina in place at the resort.

The financial down-fall of the resort was in part blamed on the inability by the devel-oper to secure funding to build a marina.

Despite the financial turmoil surrounding Tobiano resort, the golf course continues to pick up accolades.

Tobiano has been rated best public golf course in B.C. by SCOREGolf Magazine.

For Peter Moore, Tobiano’s golf-opera-tions manager and head professional, getting the nod in 2011 while financial troubles hover over the resort is proof of the track’s greatness.

“If you can get it

with a slight darkened cloud over the golf course, to get it with that even makes it that much more special,” he told KTW.

Moore said the accomplishment is even more impressive given how fast the course has been recognized since opening in 2007.

SCOREGolf Magazine ranked the top 100 public golf courses in the country by province.

Tobiano edged

out Greywolf Golf Course in Panorama and Predator Ridge in Kelowna.

Moore credited Tobiano’s success to the conditions and mainte-nance of the course, the staff at the resort and the property itself.

He said Tobiano intends to be at the top of the list when the rankings come out again in a couple of years.

“It’s mission accom-plished as far as we’re

concerned,” Moore said.

Tobiano tabbed as B.C.’s best

Above the Law; Athlete's Air

These next few weeks, athletes will be pushing themselves to the limit, for many sports this entails pushing their breathing to the limit, thus relying on their lungs to propel their bodies. Indeed, their lungs are like racing engines, breathing in large amounts of air, the more air the more power. The only difference is an engine has an air fi lter because the slightest bit of pollution can cause an engine to explode. Kamloops air is full of pollution, its plain to see; the blue and gray haze in the air is obvious prima facie evidence. Air is not supposed to be blue or gray, or any other colour, even a child knows that, but none the less there it is. The pollution is particularly bad this week as governments slash burn wet wood high in the mountains, and every mill in BC runs with little or no regulation, indeed we have several in the Kamloops area blowing thick smoke and particulate 24/7/365 days a year, including one right next door to softball city in Rayleigh, as well as one across from MacArthur Park. The government propaganda tells the public its wood stoves, farmers and forest fi res that create all the smoke and pollution, however none of them are burning right now, yet the mountains in the horizon are blocked out from all the smoke and pollution. In an interview with Ralph (the mouth) Adams, a spokes person for Ministry of Environment, he made the excuse that corporations are impossible to regulate, and the government does not have to abide by any law or regulations, essentially the government is the one who is above the law. Indeed the government are criminals in so many ways, I can't begin to count thee for it pains me, I can't but help to think of the victims of their crimes; countless babies born unable to breath, seniors struggling to breath, slow rotting diseases such as cancer and ALS turning young men and women into mush, all in record numbers never before seen because corporations can not be managed and government agents are not bound by the law of the land:(. Yet more prima facie evidence government is failing us is in a report the CBC did a year or so ago that revealed Prince George's air was properly tested for furans and nano-toxins revealing air in PG, (in the middle of summer) contained over 18 times the safe limit of formaldehyde. Much like the RCMP can't be trusted to police themselves, neither can the corporation known as THE PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. You thought they worked for us, though the proof is in the pudding; profi ts is all that matters to corporations, and the government is a corporation accountable to none. They put titles on themselves to make it look like they know what they’re doing, so call or email our Minister of Environment; Terry Lake, (250 554 5413 [email protected] ) and ask him to explain why the air is fi lled with blue and gray smoke, and why mills in BC are allowed to pollute 24/7/365. "They" say what you don't know won't hurt you, though if you only knew what was in the air, you may disagree with that statement, as those of us who do know are tormented by the truth. So to all the young athletes here this weekend pushing their breathing to the limit in this cesspool our government calls clean air; may God have mercy on you, because the governments and multinational corporations sure as hell don't have any for you.

Parkade foes have major hill to climb

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

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKVIEWPOINT

The journey is short and the terrain appears near-impossible to traverse, but there will be about 20 people attempting to climb the political equivalent of Mt. Everest.

This week, city council did the expected and approved the bor-rowing of $8 million to build a parkade atop what is now a park-ing lot next to Riverside Park.

Two councillors — Denis Walsh and Marg Spina — voted

against the motion, which will now see the province give its assent to the borrow-

ing bylaw.On Aug. 30, council is expect-

ed to finalize the deal, at which time the counter-petition process can begin, a process that allows any citizen 30 days to gather the signatures of 10 per cent of eli-gible voters in Kamloops.

If successful, the counter-petition would force city council to walk away from the parkade plan or hold a referendum on the issue.

Either measure would be costly as the city has already spent about $280,000 on pre-construction work and staging a referendum requires funding.

Opponents would have the month of September to con-vince at least 6,500 voters to sign a petition, forcing the city to choose one of the two above scenarios.

While the odds are stacked against counter-petitioners (as the odds are always stacked against those opposing government policy), it must be noted nobody gave Bill Vander Zalm and Chris Delaney a snowball’s chance in hell in forcing a referendum on the HST.

However, it remains up to parkade opponents to prove pas-sionate opposition to the proposal extends beyond a small but vocal group already weighing in on the issue.

Kamloops’ walking warriors have cancer in their crosshairsO

NE OF THE NEAT things about this job is getting to meet fascinating and inspirational people.

All too often, these people do their things quietly, not looking for attention.

So it might have been with Terri Haggerty, except our mutual friend, Wenda Noonan, called me weeks ago and simply told me I was going to do a story on Terri.

“She’s amazing,” Wenda said — and, if you know Wenda, you also know she’s someone not to be ignored.

I emailed Terri, introduced myself, told her I was under strict orders from Wenda to write something to promote a fundraiser Terri was planning.

Just to make her point, Wenda sent me the poster for the fundraiser the next morning by email.

So, here’s what it’s all about — and my legs feel tired just writing about it.

Terri and six of her friends — Margaret Huff, Connie Lacey, Teresa Doreman, Bev Moody, Tanya Alkerton and Vessy Mochikas — are headed to Vancouver for the annual Weekend to End Women’s Cancers, a two-day, 60-kilometre walk Terri has done the past three years.

And, while she’s had to cope with cancer herself, it’s not her own situation that inspired her.

It was Terri’s grandmother, a woman who twice battled breast cancer, who worked tirelessly to help raise aware-ness and funds to help researchers trying to find a way to end the dreaded disease and who eventually succumbed to it.

Terri said she and one of her sisters decided they wanted to pick up their grandmother’s mantle and the weekend

walk was the vehicle they chose.That first year, Terri said, she

crossed the finish line in tears, not so much because her feet were killing her — they were — but because she walked into a sea of women, the major-ity of them wearing pink lanyards to show they were not only walk partici-pants, but cancer survivors.

Many of them were also women in the middle of chemotherapy or radiation treatments, still fighting the disease.

It’s not an easy task, walking 35 kilometres one day and then turning around and putting in another 25 kilo-metres the next.

Terri says she’s learned through past walks the secret to success — moleskin — and the team will be taking a big supply of it.

They’re also ready with themed T-shirts for the two days, starting out with ones that will have the names of people they’re walking for painted on them and ending with shirts inspired by their team name, the Rack Pack.

Suffice to say, those garments have been created to look like there’s some cleavage.

While there’s plenty of work to do

on the weekend, there was even more required in the past many months.

Every participant has to raise a min-imum $2,000 to take part in the event.

That meant six fundraisers for the team, ranging from bellydancing events to a day of music at Flavours of India Restaurant.

It’s a lot of work organizing the events, tracking down prizes, getting entertainment and finding sponsors, Terri said, but many local businesses stepped up to help.

This year, Terri’s going with a spe-cific goal in mind — and it’s not to just finish the walk. She’s been training for months and is confident, moleskin allowing, she and her teammates will finish it.

Her main goal, though, is to find a young woman named Joanna, who did the walk last year with a scarf covering her bald head and tubes still inserted into her chest.

Joanna was 26 and was asked to speak to the hundreds of participants at the end of the event.

Joanna stood there and said many things, but one stuck with Terri.

Joanna said she was there to speak as a survivor — and she told the crowd she hoped someday she would be one.

Terri doesn’t know if Joanna will be there this year. She hasn’t seen her name on the list of participants.

She’s hoping there’s a good reason, dreading a likely reason.

And, despite saying every year will be her last, she’s already planning for next year’s walk.

Her grandmother would be proud. Kamloops should be proud, too.

Re: Letter: Memo to Lake: Conditions in B.C. parks atrocious:

“In the last 12 months, we’ve camped at Scotch Creek, Tunkwa, Fintry, Ellison, Paul Lake, North and South Okanagan, Herald, Bear Creek, Lac Le Jeune, Haynes Point and proba-bly one or two others I’ve forgotten and encoun-tered absolutely no such conditions.

“My wife and I have come to know many of the hard-working people who work very hard to keep these camp sites in impeccable condition, and to use them as fodder in an anti-government rant is just plain wrong.”

— posted byRon Watt

Re: City’s unemployment rate drops:

“What isn’t men-tioned in this article is the decennial nature of unemployment here.

“As noted in Venture Kamloops’ past stats, in the last 25 years, the first year of each decade marked a high point for unemployment, while the middle years showed the lowest rates.

“Also, within each year, there is a trend that tends toward decidedly higher unemployment in winter, with things improving over the sum-mertime.

In other words, move along because there’s nothing new to see here.”

Editor:Re: Dennis Paget’s

letter of Aug. 5 regard-ing the proposed Ajax mine south of Aberdeen (‘Proposed Ajax mine is simply too close to Kamloops’):

I don’t think Paget is concerned about the pristine area as much as he is about his property value.

I don’t think it wise to buy a house near an existing mine site.

Did Paget not think that, when commodity prices rose, this mine would not reopen?

It is not wise to not research the area before moving there, then com-plaining when the mine plans to reopen and cre-ated much-needed jobs.

What does Paget think all the develop-ment in the area is doing to the animals in his pristine area?

I have spent 15 years in the health-care field and my husband has worked in mining all his life and we are both very healthy.

Mining has changed a lot in the past 20 years with respect to health and safety.

As for real estate, Kamloops would see a mini-boom in housing with the Ajax mine as younger people would be able to afford homes in any area they want.

When I drive by the area where Ajax would operate, I don’t see much but wasteland.

I guess all our views are different.

I vote yes to the mine reopening and creating up to 400 high-paying jobs in the area.

Cindy RoseKamloops

I vote ‘yes’ to jobs, ‘yes’ to Ajax mine

Editor: I wonder why KTW would

feature the letter from Howard Druskee (‘Welcome to the Goose-Poop Capital of Canada,’ Aug. 4), complete with a large colour photo, that is a rant against goose poop, with Druskee slamming our city workers (“some would say spineless”).

Yet, in the same edition of

KTW, the call is made to the citi-zens of Kamloops to support the Western Canada Summer Games, which is mainly supported labou-riously by those same city work-ers (and, of course, volunteers).

It feels like KTW has some misplaced journalistic swagger, a bad sense of timing and a desire to rile up others, like me, so they will write letters.

I am very thankful for our city workers and their efforts to make Kamloops beautiful and would represent that to our visi-tors, rather than present a flashy, angry, ranting letter about what naturally happens when civiliza-tion invites inbalance.

Lauding city workers for all the work they do

Editor:Health care in B.C.

leaves much to be desired in many ways.

It is obvious the province lags behind compared to other prov-inces.

One such instance is with cataract surgery.

Wait lists are long; in some areas up to one year.

The surgery involves the insertion of a new lens in the eye.

Previously (more than 20 years ago), what is commonly known as a hard lens was stitched in place in the eye.

In recent years, a

more efficient and suc-cessful procedure has been done.

This is called a soft lens and involves cut-ting a small slit in the eye to replace the lens.

This procedure is superior in that it is more efficient and gives a better result for patients and doctors.

I believe this pro-cedure is used by most ophthalmologists.

The catch comes in that the B.C. govern-ment does not pay the cost of the soft lens, thus making the patient responsible for the extra cost of getting a satis-factory job done.

Approximate cost is in the range of $350.

Added to this is that some of the pre-surgery and post-surgery drops used are not covered by Pharmacare.

Furthermore, when the patient has his eye-glasses altered with a plain glass lens (until healing is complete and new eye testing can be completed), the cost is not covered (an addi-tional approximate cost of $30) as it is consid-ered to be cosmetic.

Therefore, in B.C., the cataract procedure leaves a patient with the choice of going with an outdated and less effi-

cient lens or paying to have a totally more effi-cient procedure done.

I am told other prov-inces cover the costs, but not here in B.C.

It is interesting to note that when bring-ing this to the attention the premier, the only acknowledgment was that it was referred to the minister of health — and still no reply.

The NDP could not even take the time to reply.

Interesting to see how one will form an opinion when election time comes.

As the province reviews the city’s bor-rowing bylaw for the Lorne Street parkade, a group of residents is get-ting ready to officially fight the project.

Bob Gamble, a mem-ber of the Kamloops Voters Society, con-firmed a separate group of about 20 residents will lead opposition through the alternative-approval process (AAP).

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

When the bylaw gets the final thumbs-up from council on Aug. 30, it will trigger the AAP, which gives opponents 30 days to gather 10 per cent of the electorate’s signatures, forcing a ref-erendum.

There were 64,310 eligible voters in Kamloops in 2008.

It will mean the group opposed to the parkade will need about 6,500 signatures.

Gamble acknowl-edged the job will not be easy.

“It will be tough, but it’s doable,” he said.

“If you don’t try, you’ll never know.”

The effort will be made slightly easier as council decided to make the petition available

online through the city’s website.

Signatures will still need to be gathered in person.

Gamble asked coun-cil to consider letting opposition groups set up in city buildings and events to get signatures, but the request was denied.

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

The parkade is estimated to cost $7.8 million, with the project expected to go out to tender in late December.

After repeated tests that showed the air around Domtar was improving, the pulp mill in Kamloops has suffered a setback, narrowly passing its quarterly emissions test.

The test results, provided by Domtar to the Ministry of Environment (MOE), show the mill discharged 198.8 mil-ligrams of particulate matter during the July 8 test.

That amount is slightly less than the 200 milligrams allowed under its permit.

The test showed a large

increase in the amount of par-ticulate emissions compared to the results of a test in March.

The mill was discharging 158 milligrams of particulate matter in the spring, well below its permit limit.

The average score in 2010 for Domtar was 151 milligrams of particulate matter.

As part of an amended per-mit handed out by the MOE in 2009, the mill is subject to emissions testing every three months.

A Domtar spokesperson blamed the test results on two factors, noting the operating conditions at the mill weren’t

as stable at the time of the test and officials discovered minor problems with the suction on air-testing equipment.

The spokesperson said the mill has done work since the test to understand the variation and expects the third-quarter results to be significantly bet-ter.

Those test results are expected to be sent to the gov-ernment in the fall.

By 2012, particulate emi-sisons must be reduced to a further 180 milligrams, a full year earlier than the amended permit intended.

By 2013, the two proposed

double power-boiler stacks must be in place, with a 50-milligram limit.

The Domtar spokesperson noted construction on the new stacks is underway and will be complete sometime this fall.

Finally, the high-elevation stack must drop its emis-sions to 90 milligrams by 2014, completing all the work required two years earlier.

The mill started last sum-mer to make sure it meets the new schedule, which included work on its recovery boiler during a major shutdown.

Domtar had been given until 2016 to meet all requirements.

Funding from Ottawa has allowed Thompson Rivers University to purchase a high-tech piece of equipment to be used in scientific research.

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod was on hand on Wednesday, Aug. 10, outside the Science Building at TRU to unveil the university’s acquisi-tion of bioproduct equipment.

The purchase was made possible thanks to $890,000 in funding from the federal govern-ment’s Western Diversification (WED) Program.

“It’s huge,” McLeod said of the acquisition, which includes a low-temperature incubating facility, a complex mass spec-trometer and meat research and

development equipment.“It’s very significant pieces of

equipment,” she said.“But, what it’s going to allow

the different departments to do is amazing.”

Tom Dickinson, TRU’s dean of science, said the equipment will drastically increase the research potential of the univer-sity.

“The new analytical tools enabled by WED have expanded the capacity and potential of TRU and our region for discov-ery and innovation,” he said.

“Just as importantly, we are now able to broaden the oppor-tunities for our students to do applied research that leads to immediate and direct outcomes.”

Dickinson was quick to credit Ottawa for its help.

“It’s just the latest in a string of investments that TRU has

received from the federal gov-ernment,” he said.

“The university has benefited tremendously.”

Dickinson said the equip-ment will allow researchers to do things such as detect a single molecule in a cube of water.

He said the applications are varied, from detecting contami-nants in drinking water to exam-ining hospitals for infections.

McLeod said the investment will be positive for the entire community.

“Supporting organizations like Thompson Rivers University in innovation and applied research is vital to the success of a knowledge-based economy,” she said.

“Today’s investment in equip-ment will benefit not only the university, but Kamloops and British Columbia and a whole.”

High dollars equal high tech at TRUDon Noakes, Thompson Rivers University’s associate vice-president of research and graduate studies (left) and Tom Dickinson, dean of Faculty of Science, join Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod to announce $890,000 in fund-ing for the university.

IF YOU PROTECT your brain and do the things that help to keep it healthy,

your mental health will benefit, too.

That means great nutrition, exercise (both physical activity and cognitive/mental gym-nastics), adequate sleep, avoidance of brain-dam-aging substances (like alcohol or drugs) and protection against brain activities, like wearing a helmet to cycle or roller board and wearing seat-belts in cars.

But, there is another way to damage your brain and hurt your mental health, especially at this time of the year: Heat exhaustion and heatstroke.

When your body temperature rises above normal, even a little bit, you could be experienc-ing heat exhaustion if you have heavy sweating, a rapid pulse, moist skin with goose bumps when in the heat, dizziness, faintness, headache, nau-sea or muscle cramps.

It’s one of three heat-related syndromes, with heat cramps being the mildest and heatstroke being the most severe.

Signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion may come on suddenly or may develop after days of heat exposure.

If you do not pay attention to signs of heat exhaustion, you could end up with life-threaten-ing heatstroke, a condi-tion that occurs when your body temperature reaches 40 C or higher.

You’ll need immedi-ate medical attention to prevent brain damage, organ failure or death.

Heatstroke is marked by a lack of sweating as your body’s natural cool-ing system is failing. In heatstroke caused by hot weather, skin will feel hot and dry to the touch; when brought on by strenuous exercise, skin usually feels moist.

The pulse may signifi-cantly increase because heat stress places a tre-mendous burden on your heart to help cool your body. You will likely have a throbbing head-ache, muscle cramps or weakness.

In some cases, there are neurological symp-toms, including seizures, loss of consciousness, hallucinations and dif-ficulty speaking or under-standing others.

We live in a climate that can be extremely hot.

Pay attention to what your body is telling you, even if your brain is try-ing to pretend everything is all right. Remember that in times like these, your brain is not func-tioning like it should.

Protect your brain and your mental health dur-ing the hot-dog days of August or while you are out enjoying the Western Canada Summer Games, You will be glad you did.

LOCAL NEWS

Five men have been charged in connection with an alleged drug-related kidnapping and assault in North Kamloops on the weekend, but police have so far only been able to locate two of them.

Kamloops Mounties said they were alerted to the incident on Friday night (Aug. 5), when a man showed up at a rural property with serious injuries.

Investigators believe he was kid-napped and “brutally” beaten, possibly with a baseball bat, stabbed and run over with a car in an attack apparently sparked by the drug trade.

Adam Colligan, Gregory Brotzel, Brett Haynes, David Byford and Jeff Oldford have been charged with aggravated assault, kidnapping, robbery and assault with a weapon.

Colligan is also facing additional charges of uttering threats and assault

with a weapon.Police believe the

victim, 24-year-old Steven Bodie, was held against his will and beaten at a home on Sherwood Drive.

Over the weekend, investigators searched the Sherwood Drive home as well as another residence on Bentley Place.

Two vehicles were also seized as part of the investigation.

Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Doug Aird called the incident “a targeted attack.”

Colligan, 25, and Brotzel, 19, were arrested on Friday night, but warrants remain in place for Haynes, 35, Byford, 27, and Oldford, 28.

Haynes and Byford have been deemed prolific offenders by Kamloops RCMP.

Colligan and Brotzel are slated to appear in court later this month and remain in custody.

Police do not believe the other three suspects have left town and Learned said they are consid-ered dangerous.

Anyone with infor-

mation can call police at 250-828-3000 or

Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

A Kamloops woman was rushed to hospital with multiple stab wounds early on the morn-ing of Wednesday, Aug. 10, after an apparent knife attack in North Kamloops.

Emergency crews were called to the Tim Hortons outlet at 481 Tranquille Rd. at about 12:30 a.m.

A woman, believed to be in

her 40s, had been stabbed several times in the back.

Witnesses said she was treated at the scene by four bystanders until paramedics arrived.

A police-dog unit was called out, but was unable to track down any suspects, however, a knife was found in a parking lot across the street.

Mounties believe the suspects

in the stabbing are two women — one blonde and one brunette.

A witness in the area said he noticed an unusually high number of prostitutes along Tranquille Road prior to the stab-bing.

Anyone with information can call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

OBITUARIES AND IN MEMORIAM

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fi elds of ripening grain. I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rush Of beautiful birds in circling fl ight.

I am the start-shine of the night. I am in the fl owers that bloom, I am in a quiet room. I am in the birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there – I did not die.

COULPIERRachel (Rae) Coulpier was born in Fisher Branch, Manitoba, on August 18, 1914

and passed away peacefully in North Vancouver Hospice on July 27, 2011 just short of her 97th birthday. She was the loved mother of Rene and Jeannette Coulpier, daughter-in-law Margaret Coulpier and son-in-law Jim Yates. She was cherished by her grandchildren Liane Vail, Kristi Mitchell, Tiffany Yates, Owen Yates and his wife Jennifer, and her ve great grandchildren, and Polly and Angelo Saganis.

Rachel lived her nal years near family in North Vancouver but her heart never left Kamloops, her friends and students she so loved. As a retired principal of Brocklehurst Elementary School she kept in touch with staff and students all over the world. Rae took great pride in being possibly the rst woman to receive a principalship in British Columbia. Through school programs Rae had adopted families from many countries and enjoyed visiting them as their Canadian grandmother.

Rae’s passion for life and learning took her from a small farming town in Manitoba (where her nickname was “Motorcycle”), to Chicago then Winnipeg, where she graduated from Normal School as a teacher. She married John Coulpier when he immigrated from Paris and worked on her father’s farm. The Coulpiers lived in Churchill, Man., Fort St. John, B.C., and Falkland before moving to Kamloops in 1956 to be principal of Brocklehurst Elementary School. By the time she retired in 1976 the two-room school had expanded to two schools and several hundred students. “Ma Coop,” as she was affectionately known, made a large contribution to education in the

rapidly expanding Kamloops suburb.

Rae also fostered several mentally challenged children in her home, started a teen town for youth, assisted in taking education to the far north of Canada and opened a restaurant. Her zest for adventure saw her visit every continent, go motorcycle touring in Australia, cattle driving in Westwold, take safaris in Africa, attend a rock concert at the top of Whistler Mountain, R.V. travelling across Canada and much more.

At her request there will be no funeral service or donations, but her ashes are to be spread in the Thompson River.

Rae’s spirit, kindness and generositytouched many lives around the world.

We are changed now ...Not because she left us

But because she touched us.She will remain in our hearts forever.

HELEN SIMON (HUDSON)February 22, 1924 – August 1, 2011

Our beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother passed away peacefully in her sleep. She is survived by two children - Paulette Davies and Gerard Simon (Dianne), fi ve grandchildren – Suzanne Filion (Vince), Scott (Jennifer) and Tim (Christy) Davies, Tyler and Kyle Simon, and three great grandchildren

– Jessica Filion, Drew and Cullen Davies. She was predeceased by her

husband George in 1980 and her daughter Gaye in 2008. Helen was born in Rocky Mountain House, AB. She contracted polio at the age of 4, and wore a brace from that time onward. She bravely coped with her disability, and remained a loving, outgoing and friendly person for the rest of her life. She met and married George in 1948. Over the next 32 years, they lived in Edmonton, Pointe Claire, QC, and Calgary, and then back to Edmonton. They travelled extensively throughout Canada and the US on vacations, which was an activity that they both loved. In 1997, she moved with her daughter, Gaye, to Kamloops, where she enjoyed camping and travelling with her family. She will be missed by all. Special thanks to the staff of Kamloops Seniors Village for their care and friendship during her residence.

Crosswalk already planned for Spirit SquarefromNorth Kamloops resi-

dents hoping to get a crosswalk to the North Shore Spirit Square wasn’t necessary.

The crosswalk is already in the city’s plans.

David Trawin, director of development and engineering services, said the crosswalk was supposed to be in place by now, but some sightline issues need to be worked out.

He expects the crosswalk, located from the north to south side of Yew Street, will be installed by the end of the year.

The square is located at the corner of Yew Street and Mackenzie Avenue and is home to several community events, including a farmers’ market.

The petition, which noted dif-ficulty in crossing the street dur-ing the Friday night market, had gathered more than two-dozen signatures of area residents.

Trawin noted the street doesn’t meet the criteria in terms of the number of vehicles and pedestrians using the road, but added it is common practice for the city to install crosswalks to

help people safely get to newly built parks or squares.

Public input sought on downtown smoking patio

The neighbourhood around the downtown casino will get a chance to have a say on a plan to build a smoking patio attached to the facility, after council approved the project to move for-ward for public comment.

Lake City Casinos is planning to build a covered smoking patio on its Victoria Street lot, imme-diately east of the casino, that would be in place for three years.

According to a staff report, the patio would hold 28 people and could only be accessed through the main entrance of the casino.

Council approved a notice of intent, which means the sur-rounding neighbourhood will be notified of the plans and have

an opportunity to provide input before final approval.

City to borrow money for lift station

It won’t likely be as con-troversial as the Lorne Street parkade, but council has approved a bylaw to borrow roughly $900,000 to improve a lift station at McArthur Island.

It’s one of the city’s major sewage lift stations, servicing an area that includes Batchelor Heights and the North Shore.

The original station dates back to the 1950s and has a lim-ited wet-well capacity, resulting in very short pump run times.

The design of the project is complete and expected to cost $1.4 million.

In July, a major sewage lift station on Mission Flats Road that serves the South Shore failed after a sewer line in the area backed up.

The incident led to one of the biggest infrastructure failures in the city’s history and is under investigation.

CITY HALL

Mark Recchi will announce the newest member of the team bearing his name that is heading the Royal Inland Foundation’s fundraiser for the hospital’s new intensive-care unit.

It is suspected the Stanley Cup may be the newest team member to be announced at the press conference on Friday, Aug. 12 at Interior Savings Centre.

The Boston Bruins hockey star said he is “so glad the community

has joined me in supporting this local cause.

“My brothers and I were in and out of RIH ourselves as kids with broken bones from the tough sports we played.

“I am excited to announce the newest member to join Team Recchi and help us raise money for our intensive-care unit campaign. They are all supporting us in our quest to reach our $3-million goal.”

Recchi adds to RIH team

Mark Recchi, a member of the Stanley Cup-winning Boston Bruins, will be in Kamloops on Friday, Aug. 12, to announce more support for the Royal Inland Hospital campaign to pay for a new intensive-care unit. Recchi is the campaign’s honourary chairman.

The horse show at the end of the Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association’s (KTRA) summer session is more than a competition — it’s a tool to build con-fidence in riders with disabilities.

“We’re showcasing our skills,” said Barbara Bomac, the KTRA’s office co-ordinator.

“We’re making them feel like the champions that they really are.”

The third annual

show on Saturday, Aug. 13, will showcase 19 riders.

“This year, we have the most-ever riders,” Bomac said.

The non-profit organization holds four sessions of lessons throughout the year.

This year’s sum-mer session, which just ended, had 33 riders.

All were given the opportunity to enter the show.

“If you take the 19, we’re doing really well,” Bomac said of the amount of participa-

tion this year.Bomac said the pro-

gram offers a safe envi-ronment for learning.

It is meant to teach social and behavioural skills through horse care and riding.

“There are a wide range of disabilities,” Bomac said, “from people with learning disabilities to people with cerebral palsy.”

The program is beneficial to people of

all ages and all are wel-come.

“The program helps riders with move-ment, helps build core strength, helps them feel good about them-selves and builds confi-dence,” Bomac said.

There are four cat-egories to Saturday’s event: Showmanship, equitation, pole bending and dressage.

Riders will be judged by volunteer

guest judge Krista Blades, director of the Pine Tree Riding Club.

Trophies and prizes will be awarded.

The show will take place at 730 Crestline St. and is open to the public at no cost.

A barbecue, raffle, 50/50 draw and tack sale will also take place.

Kamloops canoeists make a splash at GamesBrook McLean won seven medals at the Western Canada Summer Games in the canoe-racing competition, which was held at Shumway Lake from Saturday, Aug. 6, to Tuesday, Aug. 9. Marty Hastings/KTW

By Marty HastingsSTAFF REPORTER

[email protected]

The Kamloops con-tingent of Team B.C.’s canoe racers has more bling than Mr. T of the A-Team.

On Tuesday, Aug. 9, after the dust settled on Week 1 of the Western Canada Summer Games’ canoe and kayaking compe-titions at Shumway Lake, Brook McLean, Keiffer Johnson and

Zach Morgan had combined for 19 med-als.

“It’s actually an amazing feeling,” McLean said.

“At first I was like, this isn’t going to be a big adventure — it’s in my hometown.

“But, I think it made winning all these medals so much more special.”

McLean, a 15-year-old South Kamloops secondary student

— the first Kamloops product to earn a medal at the Western Canada Summer Games — finished with seven medals.

She won gold in the women’s C4 200- and 500-metre events, sil-ver in the women’s C2 500- and 1,000- metre races, bronze in the mixed war canoe and bronze in the women’s C1 200-metre and women’s C4 1,000-metre races.

Johnson, 16, and Morgan, 15, picked up bronze medals in the mixed war canoe event and the men’s C2 500-, 1,000- and 2,000-metre races.

The duo also won silver in the C2 200-metre event.

Johnson earned two more medals in one-person canoe action, placing second in the C1 1,000-metre race and third in the C1 200-metre competition.

Jakob Huth, 15, the least-experienced paddler of the four Kamloopsians on B.C.’s canoe team, did not earn a medal at the Games.

“I’m still pretty new at the sport,” he said.

“It was still a great experience.”

The fantastic four-some belongs to the Kamloops Canoe and Kayak Club (KCKC), which makes its home on Shumway.

Their medal total might have been high-er if it were not for injury.

Johnson hurt his ribs in the war canoe event on Tuesday morning, leaving him banged up for the afternoon races.

A sore wrist has hampered McLean for the past two months and it flared up on Tuesday, forcing her to come back to the city in the afternoon

for treatment before returning to Shumway for two more races.

“I did the two-kilometre and it was unbearable,” McLean said.

“It was very pain-ful.”

Johnson thought a few podium finishes at the Games were possible, but a seven-medal haul more than exceeded his expecta-tions.

SPORTS

“It’s a little shock-ing,” said Johnson, who, along with his Kamloops teammates, is coached by Graham Funk at the KCKC.

“I’m awestruck right now.”

If a multi-person canoe team earns a podium finish at the Games, only one medal is credited to Team B.C.

Quick addition

reveals the Kamloops

canoeists accounted

for 13 of Team B.C.’s

medals — a number of

which the River City

kids can be proud.

“It would have

been one thing to

go to Alberta or

Saskatchewan and

compete there but, to be

able to do it here, in my

hometown and on my

own territory, is amaz-

ing,” Johnson said.

Kamloops grapplers medal at the Games


[email protected]

Alizé Perriard-Abdoh and Tamara Ghering of Kamloops left nothing on the mat at the Western Canada Summer Games.

The two Kamloops products contributed to B.C.’s medal total — Perriard-Abdoh, 15, win-ning gold and Ghering, 14, earning silver in individual competition at McArthur Island Sports Centre on Tuesday, Aug. 11.

Perriard-Abdoh and Ghering also won bronze in the female team com-petition.

“I’m proud of what I did,” said Perriard-Abdoh, who beat Manitoba’s Amber Wiebe to win gold in the female 46-kilogram weight class.

“I was prepared and it went really well.”

Ghering lost to Stephanie Osburn of Alberta in the female 40-kilogram weight class final, but she was happy with a podium finish.

“I felt I did my best,” said Ghering, a St. Ann’s Academy student.

“It was really nice. Lots of my family came out to see me.”

Miranda Dick, a for-mer World University Wrestling Championship gold-medallist, coached the girls leading up to the Games.

Brian Dick, longtime

NorKam secondary

wrestling coach, and

Clint Martin, St. Ann’s

wrestling guru, are also

responsible for the girls’

development.

The medallists earned

spots on Team B.C. after

winning their respec-

tive weight classes at

a Games’ qualifier in

May at Simon Fraser

University.

Forgive Riley Oien

if her voice is a bit

hoarse.

She was just a

part of one of the

most exciting bas-

ketball games the

200-plus crowd at the

Tournament Capital

Centre will ever see.

Oien’s Team B.C.

squad squeaked out

a 61-60 win over

Manitoba in the

gold-medal match of

the Western Canada

Summer Games girls’

basketball tournament

on Tuesday, Aug. 9.

The 14-year-old

South Kamloops

secondary student

said she’s never been

involved in a game as wild as Tuesday’s final.

“Not really, no,” she said.

“It was pretty excit-ing. I was screaming at the top of my lungs.”

But, it wasn’t always so exciting. In fact, B.C. stormed out of the gate and was up by 14 points after the first quarter.

The host team stayed pretty much in control of the game well into the fourth quarter, when Manitoba — led by a clutch per-formance by Kyanna Giles — made things interesting.

B.C. coach Morgan McLaughlin blamed complacency.

“We just stopped doing the things we

needed to do,” she said after the game.

“They [Manitoba] are so athletic and so good at anticipating where the ball’s going to be. We fed their fire, basically.”

Things got interest-ing with about three minutes left in the fourth quarter, when Manitoba pulled to within six points.

With 90 seconds left, they were down by three, with the ball, when a missed jumper resulted in a B.C. rebound.

However, a full-court press hemmed the hosts in their own back-court and they were called for an eight-second violation.

Manitoba capitalized

and made it a one-point game when another B.C. backcourt viola-tion turned the ball over again, this time with 42.5 seconds left.

A missed Manitoba shot then went out of bounds and B.C. got the ball back, only to turn it over again on a travelling call.

Giles ended up with the ball and a chance to win, but couldn’t get a shot off at the buzzer and B.C. wound up on top.

Oien said she was thrilled to be able to win at home.

“It’s really exciting,” she said.

“I get to go home with my gold medal and say I won it at the TCC.”

FOR A TEAM that had only been together for six weeks,

B.C.’s men’s basketball squad was one close bunch.

“I love those guys,” said Joe Davis, a Kamloops product.

“We’re a big fam-ily.”

The tight-knit squad

cruised to an 86-44

victory over Manitoba

to clinch Western

Canada Summer

Games gold at the

Tournament Capital

Centre (TCC) on

Tuesday, Aug. 9.

The Westsyde sec-

ondary student finished

the game with four

points, five rebounds

and one steal, but his

statistics were not the

topic of conversation

after the game.

Davis was more

concerned with the

magnitude of the vic-

tory and what it meant

to his teammates.

“All the guys are

smiling on the bench,”

Davis told reporters

after the final buzzer

sounded.

“This is the biggest

game of my life . . . I

hope there are more

moments like this.”

B.C.’s coach, Brian

Meier of Richmond, said he made a point of fostering camaraderie when the team was formed six weeks ago.

“That’s one of the things I try to do is build that team feel-ing,” Meier said.

“We had a go-cart-ing excursion and we had a potluck barbe-cue so all the families could meet each other.

“From the second day on, everyone looked like the best of friends.”

Martin Bogajev, who was named tour-nament MVP, led the way for B.C. in the final, scoring 26 points in 23 minutes.

The atmosphere inside the TCC was electric and, to the travelling Manitoba fans’ credit, they cheered their squad to the bitter end, voicing their support with “We still love you!” chants

deep into the fourth

quarter.

Meier said the B.C.

supporters contributed

to his squad’s lopsided

victory.

“You could feel the

postive energy from

the crowd transfer to

us on the bench and on

the floor,” Meier said.

The Games’ final

marked the last time

that group of players

will patrol the hard-

court at the same time.

It was a great way

to go out.

“We are done as a

team, but we’ll stay

together and no one

will forget anyone

else,” Davis said.

WHEN YOUR 12-YEAR-OLD STUDENT SAYS YOU LOOK AND SOUND LIKE JOHN BON JOVI — WELL, WHAT’S A TEACHER LOOKING FOR HIS NEXT ROCK GIG TO

DO?Ted Moore’s heard from many people he’s got the look of

the famed rocker but, more importantly, the sound, he said

from his home in Chilliwack.And, having spent most of his life in the music business —

starting as a teenager in a Toronto-based nostalgia band, Teen Angel and the Rockin’ Rebels — it may have been the final push he needed to create Blaze of Glory.

“When I saw the tribute band phenomenon in the last few years, I thought this might be something to consider,” Moore said. “And I wish I had started earlier.

Before settling on Bon Jovi, Moore considered plenty of classic rockers as possible tribute subjects, including John

Mellencamp, Billy Idol and Tom Petty, but he kept coming back to Bon Jovi because it was the best fit.

“It’s how I look and what my voice sounds like,” he said. When you add in the costumes, the mannerisms, the stage

presence and the songs, it’s been a decision that’s worked, Moore said.

He spent about a year watching videos of other bands, look-ing for strong musicians who also could fit the look of the rest of Bon Jovi, but who also wouldn’t be offended if he asked them to join a tribute band.

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

how would you deal with it?

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

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

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

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

Mortgage MattersMortgage MattersCredit Score and Home Buying Part II

What 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.

Ben Ayres wonders if his career path might have been dif-ferent if he hadn’t been a teen-ager before the Internet.

The Westsyde secondary graduate — now one of the stars of the CTV comedy Dan for Mayor — said he might have looked at acting long before he took to the stage at his school.

Back then, Ayres said from his home in Toronto, he didn’t know anyone in Kamloops who was an actor other than those connected with Western Canada Theatre.

And, while he was involved in school plays, he said he didn’t really decide on acting as a career until after he had graduated and spent about three years travelling.

“It gave me a new perspec-tive on life,” Ayres said, “so I thought I’d move to Vancouver and try it out.

“I really got a late start.”He’s more than made up for

it. In addition to the current

series, which has airs its final episode for the season later this month, Ayres’s career includes roles in the CBC series jPod — which earned him a B.C.-based Leo Award nomination three years ago — Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, Smallville, The Vampire Diaries, Flashpoint and Combat Hospital.

He last performed in Kamloops in 2008, when he brought Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll to the Pavilion Theatre although Ayres said he tries to get back often to visit family still living here.

He opted for Toronto as his

home now, not only because of the opportunities it affords an actor, but because it was a bet-ter base for his wife, who has a master’s degree in business.

“But, I really just bounce between the three cities” of Vancouver, Los Angeles and Toronto.

The final episode of the sea-son of Dan for Mayor is sched-uled for Aug. 28 at 7:30 p.m.

As for another season, Ayres said the cast is still waiting to hear.

“I’d like to know yesterday,” he said, noting that, because he is under contract, he can’t pursue other acting jobs unless they’re guest spots.

His contract’s up in November so he’s hoping to hear before then.

“The experience [with Dan] has been great, though,” he said.

“I love comedy. It is just fun to do and you become like fam-ily, revealing yourself, meeting lots of interesting people.”

Ben hopes Dan stays as mayor

Westsyde secondary graduate is one of the stars of the CTV show Dan for Mayor. He’s waiting to hear if the series will be picked up for another season.

Joining him were

drummer Doug Grant,

guitarist Randy

Robertson, keyboardist

James Meyer and bass-

ist Mike Champigny,

each lead singers in

their own bands.

They spent months

working on the act,

Moore said, and

played their first gig in

Kamloops at On The

Rocks.

“We walked in and

it was packed to the

rafters and everyone

stood up and started

cheering.”

Moore said he

found the experience “truly humbling,” as, after the show, people would come up and tell him their own Bon Jovi stories, something he and his bandmates continue to experience.

They played On The Rocks several more times and are back in the area on Aug. 13 for a rock retrofest at Sun Peaks Resort.

The band has served as a perfect counter-point to Moore’s day-time persona, working at a marine company office.

His interest stems from his graduate studies in geography, he said, but it’s also because “the thing about rock and roll is there are no benefits in the music business, so you need a day job, too, unless you’re Uncle Kracker or Beyonce.

“So, I’m corporate during the day and a rocker at night.”

The band hass let Moore live out the dream of travelling and playing big ven-ues.

Blaze of Glory is

doing the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto this summer, has two nights booked at the Pacific National Exhibition, just fin-ished the California State Fair and has trav-elled everywhere from Iceland to Vegas with the act.

“We’re very meticu-lous,” Moore said.

“And, those who love Bon Jovi abso-lutely love Bon Jovi and have their own experience.

“If you don’t know Bon Jovi, you get a great rock concert.”

Confession

10:00am Divine Liturgy


A different take on faith story this week: dealing with

the death of two dedi-cated servants of God — one, an internationally known; the other who served his Lord in and around Kamloops.

Both were giants of faith in their settings: John Stott of the United Kingdon as a Bible teacher, theologian, missions consultant and Thomas Massey of India and Kamloops, as a deacon and a lay pastor.

The July 27 death of Stott, a former chaplain to Queen Elizabeth, didn’t make headlines in most mainstream media, though some British papers and the New York Times carried favourable obituaries.

But, the evangelical Christian world is much poorer by his death at age 90.

Not too many people in Kamloops — or Canada — can likely identify him, despite Time magazine placing him among the world’s 100 most-influential people in 2005.

My first contact with him at a Bible confer-ence in India led to almost total devouring of some of his works in the form of Bible com-mentaries and simple works of theology.

Among the many titles written by him, Basic Christianity (1958) is perhaps his magnum opus.

Translated into 25 languages, it has sold more than one-million copies.

The title suggests the intent of the author — to present the heavy doc-trines of Christian faith in a succinct and basic form.

As a new Christian and a teenager, the sys-tematic teachings of the book served me well at

that time and continue to do so.

Though coming from a religious family, Stott testifies that only at age 17 a personal knowledge of salvation dawned upon him.

He couldn’t rest till, under the tutelage of preacher and teacher E.J.H. Nash he sur-rendered his life to the lordship of Christ.

Soundly converted, he then began his search and knowledge of the Word of God.

The ministry priori-ties of Stott were univer-sity students and pastors.

The far-reaching influence of the uni-versity-educated both alarmed and thrilled him.

As a vice-president of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students, he wanted to see the cam-puses of the world influ-enced for the gospel.

Many leaders of the evangelical world owe their calling and training from the campus mis-sions and theological seminars he especially devised for students

It was at one such

mission I sensed an overwhelming call to vocational ministry to university students.

Ever since, it had stayed with me.

At the ripe old age of only 29, Stott became the rector of All Souls Church in London’s West End.

With him started a community outreach to the youth through the inner-city church.

The late-20th century evangelical world was galvanized by the first global conference on world evangelism con-vened by Billy Graham in Lausanne in 1974.

Stott had a major hand in formulating the Lausanne Covenant.

Since then, two other such major congresses have brought evangeli-cal leaders to deliberate and act for the spreading of the gospel trans-nationally.

Fighting the then prevailing spirit of anti-intellectualism on one hand and a spirit of apathy towards meeting social needs of people on the other, Stott wedged a good battle on both fronts.

Bypassing the mind in order to defend the Christian gospel was never an option for Stott.

With that end in view, he wrote Your Mind Matters, one among the more than 50 books he authored.

Many evangelicals would testify that he has left us with the two honourable legacies to be proud of (and to dirty our hands with).

No wonder that scholar Michael Cromartie eulogized him with: “If evangeli-cals elected popes, they would have chosen Stott.”

In our own Kamloops, another evan-gelical, not necessarily a leader, the 86-year-old Thomas Massey passed away on July 29.

Born in India, Massey immigrated to Canada and Kamloops in 1964.

The journey of faith had begun for the family of four with just $20 in their possession.

First Baptist Church of Kamloops welcome them with open arms, helped settle them and, in turn, they proved to

be involved and contrib-uting members of the Church.

With their over-whelming love for people, irrespective of backgrounds or affilia-tions, and their tremen-dous gift of hospitality, the Massey home soon became a centre of friendship.

Someone has described it as the “outstanding Christian immigration centre with open door and an open kitchen.”

People were loved, cared for, fed and even housed, not by a seminary-trained gradu-ate, but by a dedicated family man who desired to follow in the footsteps of his Master.

Eldest son Donald expressed many a people’s opinion at the funeral service while bidding adieu to “a dad with a special visa for heaven,” having secured his first one for Canada in 1964.

“He was a man full of faith, encouraging others like Barnabas (in the Bible), the son of encouragement,” said pastor Warren

Trenholm of First Baptist Church.

“In the closing days of his life at RIH, he could barely get up from bed. Yet, mustering up a little strength, he went over to the neighbour in his room to enquire about the spiritual state of his soul.

“As the Church’s visitation pastor, he would often visit people from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“And, after one exhausting day of visit-ing people, he commit-ted all to the care of Jesus, the ‘real thing,” said Trenholm.

Perhaps the best tribute at his funeral came from younger son Daniel: “My dad made a huge choice to leave India and to come to Canada.

“But the best choice in life that he made was to give his heart to Jesus in India. You can make the same best choice today.”

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.

STUNNING VISTAS: The recent Grasslands Conservation Council walk-about took place in Knutsford, where Valerie Rampone took these breathtaking pho-tos of a dog bounding across the terrain and little William MacKenzie Peart, son of Bob Peart of Sidney, an honourary board member of the Grasslands Conservation Council. Rampone said this was the first year she took part in the event: “I appreciate a lot more about our fragile grasslands after spending the day in the field with these passionate and dedicated people. The Kamloops area hosts a very special ecosystem.”

VENTI CLEAN-UP: Starbucks gathered 19 employees and 19 friends last month and set about cleaning up Guerin Creek, collecting garbage and getting that special rush that comes with helping the community.

HAIR TODAY, GONE TOMORROW: Ethan Scott, a 14-year-old Sahali resident, decided more than 18 months ago he would grow his hair longer than eight inches. Then, he would cut it off and donate the follicles to be made into a wig for those who have lost their hair due to cancer treatments. Ethan also raised $864 for B.C. Children’s Hospital oncology department through online donations and pledges made by friends and family.


With fall just around the corner, many snowbirds are itching to finalize their travel plans to warmer climes.

If you count your-self among these lucky ducks, make sure you’ve made the all necessary arrange-ments before heading to Florida, Mexico or the Caribbean.

Here’s a quick checklist to help you get organized:

• Tell a trusted friend or family-mem-ber about your plans and ask them to keep an eye on your place while you’re away.

• Secure your home and turn off the water.

• Cancel the news-papers.

• Forward or stop mail delivery.

• Make photocop-ies of your travel and personal documents for yourself and the trusted friend or fam-ily member as a pre-caution.

• If you’re driving to your destination, find out if you need supplemental car insurance.

• Find out if you need to update your shots.

• Let your bank and credit-card com-pany know about your travel plans to avoid any confusion or ser-vice disruption.

• Most important, buy travel insurance.

While most people know that travel insur-ance is important, many people may not be aware that it is now a prerequisite for entering Cuba.

“Since May 1, 2010, Cuban authori-ties require visitors to provide proof that they can cover their own medical costs,” said François Morel, a sales consultant at Desjardins Financial Security.

“Subsequently, the Cuba Tourist Board advised that Canadians could pres-ent their provincial health insurance cards as proof of medi-cal insurance. But, supplemental travel insurance is necessary because the provincial

health insurance plans only offer minimum medical coverage abroad.

“Regardless of whether you’re out of the country for a day or for several weeks, accidents or illnesses happen all the time and it’s best to be pre-pared,” said Morel.

“Hospital stays abroad can reach into the tens of thousands of dollars. So, it’s best to take a few minutes to buy reli-able travel-insurance coverage.”

Here are some things to remember when buying travel insurance:

• It’s convenient: It can be bought on the

i\Internet or by phone.• It’s flexible:

You’ll find the right policy that suits your needs based on your age, health situation and trip duration.

• It’s reliable: Coverage provides 24/7 medical assis-tance support so you know you can count on someone in case of an emergency.

Consult your insur-ance provider to learn mor.

AFTER PUBLISHING RECI-PES for frozen blackberry mousse cake, wild blueberry cobbler and blueberry and

raspberry freezer jams, I supposed, a little reluc-tantly, that I may have reached critical mass for this season.

That, at any moment, one of my editors would justifiably call to ask if we couldn’t now move onto a vegetable or two.

But, an excuse to revisit berries lately landed in my inbox when a reader, Rosa Clowater, opened her paper to my story about wild Ontario blueberries.

She writes:“Blueberry lovers:“Did anyone but me catch the error in

Darcie Hossack’s column on blueberries [where she said,] ‘In the West, as you know, wild blueberries only come frozen, if they come at all’?

“I wonder where Ms Hossack grew up — in the Sahara Desert, perhaps.

Certainly not in B.C., where blueberries abound wherever spruce trees grow or have grown.”

My reply: “Dear Rosa, I stand gladly corrected.

“I grew up in Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. and never encountered a wild blueberry [though plenty of Saskatoons and chokecherries] until I visited Ontario this summer. Nor had I heard of wild blueber-ries growing in the West until just now.

“It shows how little a city girl learns, I guess, and I regret not knowing better.”

It was a sorry mistake, but I simply can’t be sorry I made it.

Had I not, Mrs. Clowater wouldn’t have had reason, along with her correc-tion, to write and send a most beautiful bit of food memoir.

“I grew up in the Bulkley Valley,” she continued, “and blueberries were picked all summer long to can for the long win-ters.

Quinoa a powerhouseQ

UINOA (PRONOUNCED ‘KEEN-WA’) IS AN ANCIENT GRAIN NATIVE TO THE ANDES REGION OF SOUTH AMERICA.

It was a traditional crop for the Incans. They referred to it as chisaya mama or the mother

of all grains because of its nutritional value and its ability to survive harsh conditions.

Technically, quinoa is not a true grain; it is actu-ally the seed of the chenopodium plant, in the same family as swiss chard and spinach.

It has edible green leaves, but most commonly the plant is grown for its edible seed we recognize as a grain.

There are many vari-eties of quinoa but red and white grains are most commonly found at local grocery stores.

Quinoa has devel-oped a good reputation because it is one of the most nutrient-dense grains.

It is higher in protein than most grains and is a complete protein, mean-

ing it contains all eight essential amino acids. This makes it an important part of vegetarian

diets. Quinoa is also a good source of fibre, magnesium,

phosphorus, copper and iron. Not only is it nutritious but it’s versatile. Served

hot or cold, quinoa makes a tasty addition to most meals.

It can be used instead of rice for stir-frys, soups, casseroles or side dishes.

You can serve it cold in a salad or as a breakfast cereal (add cinnamon, nuts, raisins and honey).

Before cooking, rinse the quinoa grain to remove the saponin coating, which can cause a bitter flavour.

Quinoa is gluten-free so it makes a great addition to the diets of people who have celiac disease or glu-ten intolerance.

Quinoa flour can be mixed with other gluten-free flours and used as a wheat alternative in baking foods like bread, muffins and pancakes.

Try this tasty salad that it is packed with fiber and contains heart healthy oils. It makes a great lunch meal.

Enjoy it on its own or on a bed of leafy greens.

“For time immemorial, First Nations people have camped near the best patches to get them before the bears and birds did.

“My uncle made picking cans from flat Postum [a cereal beverage substitute for coffee] cans with wire ‘teeth’ welded to the opening. The modern round cans wouldn’t work.

“There were many patches on our farm but the best patch was right in the middle of what is now the Smithers Airport, which was built in 1941.

“In the early 1930s, when I was about four —and very small for my age — my uncle, aunt, cousins and older sister took me fishing at Moricetown Falls.

“The bank was too steep for my little legs to man-age so I was plunked down with a pail at the edge of a large blueberry patch away from the river.

“I can still hear my aunt saying ‘Pick only the blue ones.’

“My male cousin checked on me occasionally and found more pails for me.

“The only fish was caught by my sister on a stick with cotton string and a safety pin. The stick broke. I, however, filled several pails of ‘only the blue ones’.

“At least every third berry went into my mouth and my shorts were a blue mess from those I sat on. I rode home sitting on an old towel, quite pleased with myself and the accolades I got from the grownups.

“My sister picks them from beside her lane on the way to the road to town.

“The burnt-over areas and beetle-killed area might be good patches in the years to come.

“Little wild blueberries taste much better than the bigger tame berries.”

And, while Mrs. Clowater prefers her blueberries lightly sweetened with a little milk, a half bottle of wine provided this week’s inspiration for bowls of chilled blueberry soup.For past recipes, visit nicefatgurdie.wordpress.com.

Quinoa Salad2 cups cucumber, chopped1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved¼ cup red onion, diced1 red pepper, chopped½ to 3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled½ cup kalamata olives, optional1 cup quinoa, uncooked½ can (19oz) chickpeas½ cup parsely

Dressing:¼ cup balsamic vinegar½ cup olive oil¼ cup lemon juice1 clove garlic, minced½ teaspoon cumin1 tsp dijon mustard½ tsp oreganSalt and pepper to taste

Rinse quinoa with a fine mesh sieve. To cook the quinoa, boil two cups of water, add quinoa, cover and reduce to low heat. Cook for 20 minutes.

Fluff with a fork and let stand until cool. Chop the vegetables and prepare the salad

dressing by whisking together all the ingredients or blending them in a food processor.

Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl when the quinoa is cooled.

Note: The dressing recipe makes more than needed. Put extra dressing in a bottle and store in the refrigerator. The olive oil will solidify slightly. This doesn’t mean the dressing has gone bad., It will return to normal consistency at room temperature.

Gardengate is hosting its eighth annual Summer Salsa Challenge on Thursday, Aug. 18, at its Brocklehurst loca-tion — and the public is invited to take part.

The event, which will take place between 12:30 p.m. and 3 p.m., will allow Kamloops residents to drop by and sample salsas from 12 community teams and cast their vote for the People’s Choice and Team Spirit awards.

In addition to the tasty treats, there will also be music from local talent, beginner yoga classes, an organic produce market and garden tours.

Gardengate was formed in 1999 to address two issues: Food security and opportunities for people with mental-health issues.

It is managed by Open Door Group in co-operation with the Kamloops Food Policy Council.

With support from local businesses, vol-unteers and the Interior Health Authority, the Gardengate site was established in Brocklehurst and pro-gramming began in 2001.

Its mission is “grow-ing food and futures through diverse and supportive programs for

persons with disabilities while contributing to the health and wellness of our community.”

In order to fulfil its mission of contribut-ing to the health of the community, Gardengate has donated more than 170,000 pounds of organic produce to local charities in the past 12 years.

Today, the 2.8-acre site features rows of organic produce, a greenhouse, an orchard, a classroom and a kitchen, with a cold storage in the works.

Each morning, people living with men-tal-health issues work alongside staff and community volunteers to tend to the garden’s needs. Through these activities, participants gain confidence and build their vocational skills.

In 2008, the Accessible Garden was opened, providing opportunities for people with mobility issues to plant and tend to their own gardens.

Cooking classes, horticulture workshops, field trips, organic-farming practices and produce and plant sales are other components to Gardengate’s program.

Gardengate is locat-ed at 915 Southill St, beside the Overlander Extended Care Hospital.

Moments with that special someone become rare with summer activities kicking into gear. Relish what time you do have together and work to make it special, Capricorn.

You’re not one to complain, but you have reason, so go ahead and pitch a fit, Aquarius. That is the only way you are going to get people’s attention.

You’ve put off a chore at home long enough, Pisces. Gather the troops and make quick work of it. A shortage of funds calls for some clever planning.

Your home bristles with activity with the arrival of houseguests. Keep the good times going with fun outings, Aries. A deadline is extended at work.

Your to-do list at work dwindles with strategic planning. A breakdown in communication gets tempers flaring at home. Do your best to set things right, Taurus.

A relative makes good on their promise. Show your appreciation with a small gift, Gemini. A truce is reached among friends. Bring everyone over to celebrate.

Get ready to fire up the grill, Cancer. Friends and family are clamoring for a get-together and you’re just the one to host it. A mission in organization is accomplished.

Changes in diet prove not enough to reach a goal. Consult a professional for further advice, Leo. More free time at home allows for the start of a project.

The waiting is torturous, but it will soon be over, and you’ll love the outcome, Virgo. A kitchen experiment tickles the taste buds of the choosiest.

Cash flows increase, paving the way for an addition. You have that special someone to thank, Libra. A second look at an account uncovers potential.

Airing your dirty laundry in public is not your style, Scorpio. However, that’s the only way you’re going to motivate a relative to make a change for the better.

While the evidence may say otherwise, you should continue to support a friend. Something is amiss, Sagittarius, and they are not at fault.

Lets Make Cancer History

Do not stand at my grave and weep,I am not there, I do not sleep.I am a thousand winds that blow,I am the softly falling snow.I am the gentle showers of rain,I am the fi elds of ripening grain.I am in the morning hush,I am in the graceful rush

Of beautiful birds in circling fl ight. I am the start-shine of the night.I am in the fl owers that bloom,I am in a quiet room.I am in the birds that sing,I am in each lovely thing.Do not stand at my grave and cry,I am not there – I did not die.

Norma was born on February 26, 1929 in Kindersley, Saskatchewan. She moved to Calgary after school and married Bill Neilson on October 9, 1953. They celebrated 53 years of marriage together prior to Bill’s passing in January of 2006.

A special thank you to Josey, for being her friend and hairdresser for over 35 years. A HUGE thank you to Colin, her son in-law for taking care of Norma since Bill’s passing and going above and beyond the duties of “son in-law,” you deserve a medal for all the love and compassion that you gave our Mom, and we thank you and appreciate all that you’ve done.

There will be no formal service as per Norma’s wishes.

In Loving Memory ofSCOTT ANDREW MCKINNON

March 26, 1963 – August 3, 2011Scott passed away Wednesday evening, August 3, 2011, surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with cancer. He left us with peace of mind and love in his heart. Unlike most people who wake up everyday and do the same simple routine, Scott woke up with a smile on his face and determination in his heart to make it through the day. Since being diagnosed in 2008, he lived each day to the fullest and truly believed in quality of life. He never complained or asked for help and his biggest concern was how everyone else was doing. He was always there for his family and friends.

This beautiful and honest man touched every person he knew with his infectious laugh and higher than life spirit. He used every bit of strength he had left to make it to his 24th wedding anniversary with high school sweetheart and best friend, Jane. He was a father to Jennifer (Jason), Carly and Brianne, a son to Wilf and Carol, a brother to Corrina (Tony), Uncle to many and an amazing friend to all.

The memory of Scott will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved him. Farewell Scott, you are fi nally at peace.

The family would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to the wonderful staff at the Hospice House as well as the Kamloops Cancer Clinic for their compassionate support.

A celebration of Scott’s life will be held at 1:30pm on August 21st, 2011 at The Desert Gardens Senior Centre, 540 Seymour Street, Kamloops.

In lieu of fl owers, should friends desire, the family requests donations are made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice House, 72 Whiteshield Crescent S., Kamloops BC. V2E 2S9, in memory of Scott.

THOMAS CHARLES (TOM)HARPER

Born: January 6, 1945 in Vancouver, BC

Passed Away: August 7, 2011 in Kamloops, BC

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our

brother Tom following a diffi cult battle with cancer.

Tom will be deeply missed by his brothers John (Denise), Geramy (Lynn) and Mark (Brenda) and sister Beverly

(John) Miller as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

Tom was born in Vancouver, grew up in Ladner, moving with his family to Kamloops in 1963. Over the years he worked in sawmills and in the construction industry in the Kamloops area. He was well known for his hard working attitude. In later life the effects of a critical car accident Tom survived in early childhood caught up with him and he was no longer able to work. He became a well know fi xture in downtown Kamloops and to the many folks who live in the neighborhood of Garden Manor.

The family would like to thank the many people who took an interest in Tom over the years. He quietly loved many and showed he cared through gifts and by offering a hand when needed. His occasional angry outbursts, the result of his head injury and illness, were always followed by a heartfelt apology. He meant well.

Thanks goes to the staff of Garden Manor who provided Tom with a home for many years. More recently Tom was a resident of Ponderosa and there are no words to adequately express our gratitude to the caring Ponderosa staff who loved and cared for Tom over the past year. Finally, to the incredible staff at the Kamloops Cancer Clinic who worked so hard to help Tom during his cancer treatment, thank you for your professional skill and your kindness.

A private family celebration of Tom’s lifewill be held at a later date.

CAMERON EARL TAYLORIt is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Cameron. Cam ended his journey on August 5, 2011 surrounded with the love of the greatest treasures of his life, Bonny, Tammi, Cheryl, Karrie, Brayden, Rylan, Makayla, Kashlee, and Kytinn. Cam was very thankful he did not travel this journey alone. With him were those who loved him dearly and will remember him always. Bonny, his wife of 41 years, his mother Mabel, his girls Tammi (Bryan), Cheryl (Richard), Karrie (Brian), and his grandchildren Brayden, Rylan, Makayla, Kashlee and Kytinn, his sons by choice Warren, Heith and Josh.

Much love and thanks to all who sel essly gave of themselves in every way possible throughout Cams’ courageous battle with cancer. Although not named, please know your actions, kind words and positive energy does not go un-noticed.

Special thanks to the friends and family who supported Cam and his ladies from the beginning to the end of his journey. Cams’ brothers and their wives, Bob and Bonnie, Kel & Jackie, Malcolm & Carol, family and friends, Laverne & Rudy, Randy & Vera, Roland & Linda, Lavona & Bucky, Raymond, Steven & Cheryl, Audrey and Diane.

Cam was born May 23, 1951 in Enderby, BC and moved to Westwold at a young age where he met a little girl who was to become his soul mate, Bonny. They were married in 1970 and lived in the Westwold, Monte Lake area where they raised there three daughters.

Cams’ love of logging began at age 14 and after 45 years it still gave him a thrill to get up and go to work. He became partners of Martin Mountain Logging in the early 1980’s and sole owner in 2007. He earned respect from everyone who worked with him. He never expected anyone to work harder than him or do anything he wouldn’t do. He was truly the hardest working man ever. If you were lucky enough to know Cam, you were given a gift of a lifetime.

Cam had a contagious laugh and radiant smile that will be forever remembered and always missed. His love of nature, hunting and shing was shared by many friends and family. All who knew Cam will remember him and his constant canine companions. To some he was known as the Dog Whisperer. It was very important for Cam to share these passions with his children and grandchildren; he spent countless hours patiently teaching them all they needed to know. His plan this year was to retire with his wife in their cabin at Scuitto Lake, of which they affectionately named “A Little Piece of Heaven”. Although this did not happen we are sure his spirit will forever be tossing out the line searching for the big one or following the trail of the elusive mule deer buck, big horn sheep, elk or bear.

Cam, you will be forever loved, and greatly missed.We invite all to participate in The Celebration of The Journey of Cams’ Life. Saturday, August 20, 2011 at 2:00 pm

Cam and Bonnys’ home, 3620 Garrett Road, Kamloops ( 5 minutes up highway 97, turn left on to Hannah Road, and then a right on to Garrett Road.) Donations warmly welcomed to the SPCA in the honor of Cam Taylor and his love of dogs

August 5 – 14, 2011

It was dinner time on the eve of the 2011 Western Canada Summer Games

and Gerard Hayes and Willy Saari knew they were in trouble.

Hayes, the Games’ director of athletes’ village and Saari, the village site

chairman, weren’t even close to being finished assembling the 1,000 extra beds

needed to accommodate athletes arriving for the big event.

“We had a great bunch of people who worked hard all day to unload nine

rail containers full of parts, but sifting through over 6,000 pieces ended up

being more time-consuming than anyone had bargained for,” Hayes said.

Earlier that day— Aug. 3, just two days before the Games were to begin

— a crew from the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre had been help-

ing to unload and carry beds into the Thompson Rivers University Residence

Building, where athletes are being housed during the 10 days of competition.

Also lending a hand were Kamloops Fire Rescue Chief Neill Moroz and

nine firefighters, along with other Games volunteers.

However, after all the scheduled crews had gone home and there were only

four people left to do the work, Saari and Hayes knew they needed to do some-

thing. They got on the phone and, through the Games’ communication system

and local media, a call was put out to the 2,100 volunteers and the community.

“We were absolutely overwhelmed,” Saari said.

“Within a half-hour of the call going out, 60 people showed up and we had

everything done in no time. People even brought their kids to help out.

“Thank you, Kamloops!”

To top it off, all the volunteers who arrived have vowed to return after the

Games to help take everything out of the building.

“We want to thank the Kamloops Regional Correction Centre, the fire

department, our volunteers and the volunteers that came out last night,” said

Hayes and Saari.

“This is just another example of what makes our City Canada’s Tournament

Capital.”

Games volunteers save the day — yet againWestern Canada Summer Games volunteers like Rick Walker (left) and Valerie Johnson are the backbone of the huge event — something realized by Gerard Hayes, director of athletes’ village, and Willy Saari, village site chairman, when they put out the call for volunteers to help prepare sleeping quarters.

THE FACES (AND FUR) OF THE GAMESSage and Marigold are the mascots of the Western Canada Summer Games and can be seen at venues throughout Kamloops during the 10-day sporting event. Interestingly, Sage and Marigold are twin pups of Buttercup and Cactus, the mascots for the 1993 Canada Summer Games, which were held in Kamloops. Games fans wishing to take home their very own Sage and Marigold can go to one of the two Mark’s Work Wearhouse outlets in Kamloops, located in Aberdeen and in North Kamloops, and purchase plush-toy versions.
