It’s such a simple question: What’s in a name?

For the folks who run the North Shore Community Centre (NSCC), there’s a lot behind that moniker — and some of them aren’t happy a planned centre in the former John Tod elementary building is sharing that title with them.

Brenda Giesbrecht, book-keeper for the NSCC that calls 730 Cottonwood Ave. home, said the centre has more than 250 members, more than 7,500 visitors annually and more than 650 volunteer hours put in monthly to keep the place running.

It’s been a registered non-profit community centre since 1997 with a focus to relieve loneliness and isolation of the aged or to improve their mobility and fitness through the many programs and activities offered.

Giesbrecht said confusion has been created by announcements by municipal politicians and repeated by the media that call the entity being created in the empty school by the same name.

The Kamloops-Thompson school district, which closed John Tod elementary in 2010 due to declining enrolment, has leased the McGowan Avenue building to the city, which in turn will sublease space to the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA and the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops.

As recently as April 8, a press release from Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod referred to the site as the North Shore Community Centre.

“Our name defines who we are and gives us a sense of identity,” Giesbrecht said. “Individually, peo-ple do not like it when their name is misspelled, incorrectly pronounced or forgotten altogether.”

Debate devoid of LiberalsBy Andrea Klassen

STAFF [email protected]

Don’t expect to find either of Kamloops’ B.C. Liberal candi-dates hiding amongst the pro-duce at this weekend’s Kamloops Farmers’ Market.

While all four B.C. NDP and B.C. Conservative candidates vying for office in the city’s two ridings will attend an all-candidates forum run by the Council of Canadians, Liberals Terry Lake and Todd Stone will be absent.

Organizer Anita Strong said it’s disappointing to have no rep-resentation from one of the prov-ince’s major political players.

“It always is because I think that if they’re not there to get their ideas across, then what do people have to base their choices on?” she said.

Rather than attend the forum, the Stone campaign is heading to Chase, the Kamloops-South

Thompson candidate’s campaign manager told KTW.

“As a new candidate, we’re spending our time door knock-ing,” Hoberly Hove said.

Hove said Stone is planning to participate in only three media-sponsored debates, two of which ran this week on Radio NL.

“We’ve received a lot of requests for debates and all-can-didates’ forums in high schools and all over the place and we’ve been working on this for months and we already had a tight sched-ule,” Hove said.

“We just couldn’t accom-modate anything but the major ones.”

The Terry Lake campaign told KTW it hasn’t received an invi-

tation to this weekend’s forum — or, if an invite was extended, it was lost in the shuffle — but would not be attending because of scheduling conflicts.

Strong said an invite did go out to the Kamloops-North Thompson Liberal candidate a month ago but, at the time, she was told the incumbent MLA wasn’t likely to attend.

“I thought they were just going to boycott it,” Strong said, noting Premier Christy Clark chose to skip an all-candidates meeting in her Vancouver-Point Grey riding earlier this month.

While Lake was in attendance when the Council of Canadians held its farmers’ market debate during the 2009 provincial elec-tion, Strong said he took issue with some of the questions and left early.

“I think he thought we were giving him harder questions or something, but I’m not sure,” she said.

Contacting the candidates

“I don’t think we were, but I think they were the kind of ques-tions he would rather not be answering,” Strong said.

“I don’t know. I don’t remember the exact question.”

Lake declined to comment on his memo-ry of the debate.

This won’t be the first forum Kamloops voters have attended with not all parties present.

In 2009 — not long after that year’s Council of Canadians forum — Lake and Kamloops-South Thompson Liberal can-didate Kevin Krueger opted out of a Coalition for Public Education forum sponsored by the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association and CUPE locals 3500 and 4879, among other unions.

At the time, Lake told KTW he would be sticking to “non-parti-

san” forums and avoid-ing those run by “biased organizations.”

The Council of Canadians forum will be held on Saturday, April 27, from 10 a.m. to noon in the Stuart Wood elementary schoolyard, 245 St. Paul St. in downtown Kamloops.

Candidates and audience members are invited to show up early for some informal discussion before the debate.

When Ed Klop left B.C. for Alberta in 2000, he liked to say he would never move back to his home province if the NDP was in power.

If the polls prove to be cor-rect, Klop may have to eat those words on May 14.

Should that be the case, the Sorrento-based businessman is hoping he will at least be dining as a member of the opposition.

Klop — or “Ed version 2.0,” as the B.C. Conservative’s regional organizer Al Forseth has taken to calling him — has a few odds stacked against him.

In the Kamloops-North Thompson riding with an incum-bent Liberal cabinet minister and an NDP challenger who has been on the campaign trail since 2011, Klop is a relative unknown — and one who stepped into the race a few days before the writ drop to replace Ed Fehr.

Besides that, Klop’s Conservative party remains behind in the polls provincially, trailing the Liberals and NDP.

However, after spending a decade in Alberta, Klop has one

word with which to chase away the doubters: Wildrose.

Klop ran once for the upstart right-wing party and once for its predecessor, the Alberta Alliance.

Both times, he was ahead of the curve, picking up 18 per cent of the vote in his best showing.

But, two years after he left, the party broke through. Pollsters predicted Wildrose would form Alberta’s next government, top-pling a long-running Tory dynasty.

That didn’t happen, but the party now sits as the official opposition and Klop’s eyes light up when he predicts what voters will do to Alberta Premier Alison Redford in the next election (vote her out, with extreme prejudice).

It’s a story Klop thinks the Conservatives can repeat in B.C. — with John Cummins standing in for Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith.

“Danielle from the Wildrose, she was well known, and a leader needs to be well known, well respected and she needs to know her stuff,” Klop says.

“We feel very confident in John Cummins’ ability because he’s seasoned.”

And, Klop is hoping his own past — the son of dairy farmers

who knows how to drive a tractor on a highway; a man who built more than 350 homes during his years on the Prairies — will resonate with what he sees as a practically minded electorate in his riding.

Klop will also have to combat Liberal candidate Terry Lake’s argument that a Conservative vote is a wasted vote.

Lake, who narrowly held onto his seat in 2009, has accused Klop’s party of splitting the vote.

In a riding like Kamloops-North Thompson, the argument goes, a strong Conservative showing could siphon off just enough Liberal votes to ensure an NDP victory.

Klop, who proudly states he’s never cast a ballot for the Liberals or NDP, says such an argument is not fair.

“If the polls are correct, the NDP are winning a government whether we run or not. So, what should we do, just sit here and say, ‘Sorry folks, there’s no other alternative but B.C. Liberal or the NDP?’” he says.

“Don’t vote Liberal then. Don’t be silly and vote Liberal. Vote for us if you’re worried about splitting.”

KTW Q&A: The lighter side of Ed Klop, who stopped worrying and started livingKTW: What was the last book you read?KLOP: “I just took a Dale Carnegie course, so I read Stop Worrying, Start Living.”

KTW: What is your favourite movie?: KLOP: “I don’t watch a lot of movies, but I love watching Dragons’ Den.

That’s more what I am . . . I’m always really amazed by the ones they say no to, like they should’ve looked at that one a little deeper, or the ones that they do say yes to.”

KTW: What’s the best vacation you’ve taken?KLOP: “I love Mexico. We spent three

months there this winter and I just absolutely loved Mexico. It gets back to the simple way of life. We don’t do the resort. We stay in the old town and just enjoy that true culture.”

KTW: You grew up on a dairy farm, so which is better — white or chocolate milk?

KLOP: “I gotta say I prefer white milk. Now I drink skim to two per cent. I try not to go over that. But, growing up, it was right out of the tank.”

KTW: What’s the biggest difference between Christy Clark and Danielle Smith?KLOP: “Honesty.”

KTW: What is one interesting fact most voters don’t know about you?KLOP: “I’ve been told a lot of times that I do wear my heart on my sleeve. I like to inspire people to get out of the slumps. When they’re depressed and they’re down and they can’t seem to get any traction, I want to try and help that person.”

Recently the City adopted a new mission statement: 'Making Kamloops Shine'. It's what our staff do every day, it's what we plan for tomorrow, it's knowing that each and every service we deliver has a positive impact on our community. Four times a year, senior managers share stories of their staff who make a difference and make our city a better place to live and prosper, and recognize them with a Making Kamloops Shine Award. The following City staff recently received this award and we’d like to share their stories with you.

Dave Harvey, Brandon Bullock, Paul Stanley - Leak Detection Crew

These three employees are the City’s new Leak Detection Crew. Over the last few months, the crew has detected water leaks that potentially could have leaked hundreds of thousands of gallons of water. Not only does catching the leaks save money for taxpayers, it saves precious water and prevents potential damage to the roads and sidewalks of properties that can result from unde-tected water leaks.

Rick Smith - ShuPak Operator

A few months ago, when Rick was out in his collection truck on an especially cold and snowy day, he saw a woman lying on her back in her driveway. He got out of the truck to ask if she was okay. She had fallen and had been lying there for quite some time. Rick called 911, got her a blanket and stayed until help arrived. Since helping the woman, Rick received a phone call from the family to say "thank you" and the City also received a phone call from a neighbour who wanted to recognize Rick for going above and beyond.

Making Kamloops ShineDon Garrish - Business License and Land Coordinator

Don is an everyday champion in Customer Service. His effort in pioneering much of the technology and efficiency improvements for development and business applications has greatly enhanced customer service while showcasing Kamloops as a leader across the country.

In 1999, 12-year-old Emily Ferguson tied a rib-bon around the biggest tree in front of Royal Inland Hospital — and, eventually, through the public sup-port her stand drew, stopped plans to cut it down and build a parkade there.

The tree will come down now, however, as will all the others on the lawn as RIH moves ahead with construction of a clinical-services building, com-plete with parking, on the wide expanse of lawn fronting Columbia Street.

Work is scheduled to begin on Friday, April 26, in the morning and continue for about five days. At times, it will mean an eastbound lane on Columbia Street next to the hospital will be closed, but the main access to the building will remain open.

The Kamloops Woodworkers Guild and teachers at Brocklehurst middle school and Sa-Hali second-ary have been contacted to work with the removal company to retain wood that will be crafted by stu-dents for decorations in the hospital.

The guild and schools will also store and mill the lumber for future creative projects.

Plans are to later move memorial trees now growing along the south side of the front lawn to another area yet to be identified.

And, while the idea of cutting the ancient trees was controversial the first time it was proposed, Interior Health Authority officials are optimistic it won’t be this time.

“We expect the community will view this as a necessary step in this important project,” IHA com-munications officer Erin Toews said.

Be Ajax Aware meeting

Frustrated by what it calls the lack of concrete information related to the proposed KGHM Ajax open-pit mine copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen, a group of Kamloops organizations are hosting an open house next week.

Called Be Ajax Aware, the open house will take place on Monday, April 29, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Kamloops United Church, 421 St. Paul St.

“The company has not been very forthcom-ing with information about its plans for the 6,000-acre grassland site it has claimed on and within Kamloops’ city limits,” said Bronwen Scott of the Thompson Watershed Coalition, a co-sponsor of the event.

Scott said the open house will feature dis-plays and a 3-D model of the proposed site.

She said the public can drop in any time between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. to discuss their views and read and hear about information groups have gathered about potential effects of the mine on the com-munity.

A troubling about-face in campaign

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

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKVIEWPOINT

Adrian Dix, who is likely to be B.C.’s next premier, barring a dramatic shift in voter intentions between now and May 14, made two significant pledges during Earth Day.

Both were designed to shore up his New Democratic Party’s creden-tials with environmentally minded voters. Some of them, particularly in the Victoria region, are going for the Green party and Dix clearly does not want a shift to become an avalanche.

His first pledge was one that made abundant sense. Dix is going to shut down Pacific Carbon Trust, which an auditor-general’s report showed is sim-ply a conduit to shift tax dollars taken from the operating budgets of schools,

hospitals and other govern-ment entities and give them to the private and non-profit sectors.

As Dix stated, it makes far more sense to give these entities funds to actually reduce carbon emissions than pay someone else to do something quite different through carbon offsets.

Dix still believes government bod-ies need to reduce carbon emissions and an NDP government will work toward that end.

The other pledge came in a scrum with reporters in Kamloops. He now says his party will oppose twinning of the Kinder Morgan pipeline because it does not want Vancouver to become an oil-shipping point.

This comes less that two weeks after Dix said in a TV interview that, “on principle,” he could not yet take a stand on Kinder Morgan as no formal application had been made.

The NDP has been consistent in its opposition to the Northern Gateway pipeline proposal, which obviously has many more obstacles to overcome than does the Kinder Morgan project.

The troubling thing about Dix’s about-face is just that — it is an about-face. In addition, it indicates the NDP will always listen to the loudest voices, rather than take the time to peruse all facts before making a decision that affects the economy.

Kinder Morgan has yet to submit an application, so its exact plans aren’t clear. It has said it wants to twin an existing 60-year-old pipeline — one that runs through Kamloops — not build a new route.

Whether Vancouver should be a shipping point for bitumen is certainly a debatable point and this does require a reasonable discussion.

However, an abrupt about-face in the midst of an election campaign, on a major economic project for Canada, is a troubling way to make decisions.

They are Whipped — and voters suffer as a resultA FEW WEEKS AGO,

Terry Lake accused me of reaching “the deepest lev-els of cynicism possible in

a free and democratic society.”It was one of the few moments I

have agreed with the incumbent Liberal MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson — although I’m not sure I have actually hit the deepest level possible.

Lake was responding to a column in which I despaired at the lack of politi-cians in this province with the guts to stand up and be counted when they dis-agree with government decisions and, when their attempts to truly represent their constituents are ignored, do more than smile and shrug at us.

Unfortunately, Lake continued his lengthy letter to the editor by sim-ply proving the point as he listed all the things no doubt included on the “accomplishments to quote to media” page of what Sean Holman calls The Book of Lines.

Holman is a former investigative journalist in Victoria who now teaches at Mount Royal University.

He is a journalist whose work, ethics and credibility I admire but, in the inter-ests of full disclosure, he is also one my husband and I consider a friend.

Holman recently released for public screening his documentary Whipped, an expose into the true role party discipline plays in the way MLAs behave.

It’s something everyone who cares about good government and wants to make an informed voting decision should see and, with any luck, someone will bring it to Kamloops before elec-tion day. Until then, you can see a pre-view at https://vimeo.com/64337555.

I had the chance to watch it a

couple of times, including the finished version, and saw various former MLAs talk about how they were muzzled dur-ing their years in office.

Some talk of votes they cast they did not believe in because they knew to dis-agree publicly, to flaunt party discipline, could result in punishment from their party they weren’t willing to accept.

At least one former cabinet minister talks of how he agreed simply because he didn’t want to give up his cabinet position. Another tells of learning of a major government decision — his government — just 45 minutes before it was announced.

Of the 32,328 votes cast between June 2001 and April 2012, just 0.25 per cent were cast by MLAs against their own party.

Whipped is a strong indictment — but it’s indicative of what politics in Canada has become.

It’s why Holman talks of The Book of Lines — approved statements, facts, highlights and talking points to which everyone must adhere, to ensure the same message is presented to the media and, through it, you and your neighbours.

Those “lines” and virtually every other decision made by government are

created in a closed room, Holman said, the only time independent voices can be raised, opposing viewpoints presented and various sides of an issue discussed.

Once the doors are open again, every-one had better know the lines are set — and they dare not deviate from them.

Holman holds each of us account-able, along with the system, noting that, for many, it’s easier to vote for a party and never ask the candidate what they plan to do and if they will truly rep-resent the people they claim they will speak for once elected.

There’s no guarantee — in fact, the system is set up that they won’t — but, until people start asking the questions, there’s no incentive for change.

It’s one of the reasons I don’t like all-candidates meetings. They’re for-mulaic gatherings giving candidates insufficient time to stand out or define themselves before the vested-interest representatives flock to the microphones to ask pre-approved questions.

Holman said he knew, when he start-ed on the documentary, he would find some former MLAs who would talk frankly, but he was surprised by those who agreed to be interviewed and by how candid many of them were.

Their bravery should be honoured, he said.

If only they had found that bravery while still in office.

So, yes, I am a cynical voter, but a voter nonetheless.

As for Lake’s assertion the column did a disservice to those who seek pub-lic office, all I can say is he missed the point.

The disservice is done by those who only hear the crack of the party whip — and fall back into line.

Editor:For decades, lead has been linked to

impaired brain development in children.However, new medical studies show

lead does more than degrade IQ and learning ability.

It hits areas of the prefrontal cortex that control aggression, emotion regula-tion and impulse control. Degradation in these areas practically defines the profile of a violent young offender.

Researchers like Jessica Wolpaw Reyes, a public-health professor at

Amherst College in Massachusetts and Howard Mielke, a professor at New Orleans’ Tulane University, have found correlations between violent crime, degra-dation of IQ, early dementia and soil lead levels, the soil of which becomes airborne with mining activity.

Research was conducted from 1937 through 2009 and led to the worldwide legislated ban on leaded gasoline.

The only safe environmental lead level is zero.

The proposed Ajax copper and gold

mine would cover Kamloops in a lead-laced toxic cloud of silica particles and other lethal oxidants [particulates], including arsenic, uranium, cadmium and mercury, contributing to generations of brain disease — occurring in-utero as well — with its attendant chromosomal abnormalities.

Stop Ajax.

Of food security . . . and natural weed control . . . Editor:

The policies proposed by political parties during the elec-tion campaign that are associated with community food security are of great interest to myself and my colleagues on the Kamloops Food Policy Council.

Our provincial government has the ability to develop programs and policies that strengthen, at a commu-nity level, the growing and process-ing of food and our capacity to pre-pare food and manage food waste.

In my professional practice as a planner and agrologist, I have learned that communities with

strong local food systems are also desirable places to live.

In my research on climate-change impacts, I see how the increased frequency of extreme weather events and the outbreak of new pests in food-producing areas make our food system increasingly vulnerable.

One of the best ways to foster a sustainable community is to strengthen the food system.

During the election campaign, I hope there will be wider discussion on this topic.

Dave WhitingKamloops

Editor:Rather than using harmful pesticides, here are some natu-

ral methods for getting rid of weeds.1. Pull them: With their roots, it’s easier if the ground is

wet or before the sun shines on them.2. Pour boiling water on them: Use water left over from

cooking.3. Cover with layers of newspaper: This works best on

clover and crabgrass.4. Use inexpensive vinegar recipe: Combine one quart

of vinegar, one teaspoon of liquid dish soap and one-quarter cup of salt and mix in a squirt bottle. Apply to dandelions on walkways or patios, but do not use on lawn.

5. Eat them: Some weeds are edible. The greens from dandelions can be eaten raw and are packed with vitamin K.

“As a community, it chafes having been overlooked by media, the city and politicians,” Giesbrecht said.

“It removes the piece of identity . . . and undermines the value of that collective sense of community.”

Giesbrecht said the centre’s board has called the city about the name confusion, as have individual sup-porters.

In reply to one such contact, city CAO David Trawin forward-ed information from Byron McCorkell, the city’s parks, recreation and cultural services director, which stated:

“ It’s the Cottonwood Senior home. In it is the North Shore Community Centre. They tried to make it into a Desert Gardens-type of opera-tion and DESD (devel-opment and engineering services) made it as

a requirement to get building permit. The use is completely dif-ferent and focused now more on seniors. But, they do have the name. So, we have stated we will be naming the John Tod centre with its own branding. We just haven’t done it yet.

“The media, however, have adopted the name for our project and, for whatever reason, we had it on the presentation materials on Monday. We will fix it with the next announcement, which will come when we get the next plan work done.”

After being contact-ed by KTW, McCorkell said there is no name yet for the project, other than John Tod.

“But, due to the involvement of the North Shore and geo-graphic location, the name was used to refer to it in planning,”

he said.“This error has now

been corrected and future plans are to allow the groups involved to officially name the facility. We will be using the project name John Tod Community Centre for the project development now.”

The City of Kamloops has invested plenty of time and money into branding Kamloops as the Tournament Capital of Canada.

Tourism Kamloops has also put a lot of work and cash into promoting its Playtime Redefined brand for the city.

Given those reali-ties, a group of tourism students at Thompson Rivers University recent-ly undertook a project to assess the brands and make recommendations.

They presented their results to a team of local professionals, including Tammy Robertson, the city’s business and client-services manager — and she was impressed with what she saw, so impressed she wants to talk with the folks at Tourism Kamloops about some of the ideas the students presented and issues they felt affect the city’s branding.

Among the ideas that grabbed her atten-tion were a suggestion to involve businesses as ambassadors through an

ask-a-question program, where tourists could stop in and ask for basic tourism information; and building on the TCC program by incorporat-ing cultural aspects for visitors.

Tourism Kamloops CEO Lee Morris said the city has different brands because they were designed to address dif-ferent target markets.

Her organization, for example, needs to entice not only the tourist sec-tor, but any other com-ponent of the public that travels.

The TCC image is a tool used by the city to promote its athletic facilities — and there’s a natural synergy between the two brands that has to exist, Morris said.

Robertson agreed, noting the city deals not only with the outside world, but must relay information to residents.

She said the two bod-ies work in conjunction to provide a complete package.

The TRU project came about largely through conversations the class’s instructor, David Carter, has had with friends and colleagues.

He said he was impressed with the results given.

“Frankly, I was a little surprised they all rose to the occasion so well.”

Carter, a gradu-ate of the program in which he now teaches, said all ideas presented merit consideration, but acknowledged the pro-cess of branding a city

can be complicated.“The key to integrated

marketing, which is what we call it, is consistency of brand and consistency of conversation,” Carter said.

HOME & GARDEN

Mowing, weeding, digging, planting, hoeing, pushing a wheel-barrow and lifting bags of soil are all great ways to stay in shape.

In fact, gardening on a regular basis builds cardiovascular strength and endurance, improves flexibility and helps reduce stress.

However, because you use lots

of different muscles when garden-ing, it is a good idea to prepare for every session in order to prevent pain and avoid injury.

First of all, warm up. The fol-lowing are all good exercises, if you do them slowly and maintain the position for 10 to 30 seconds: squats; forward bends (at an angle

of 25 to 40 degrees); and shoulder, neck, and back stretches.

For optimal effect, repeat each stretch three times.

Before heading out to the gar-den, think about the jobs you have to do and divide them up so as not to do all the most deman ding tasks on the same day.

You could decide to dig over a flower bed for a few minutes to strengthen your muscles and fol-low it up with a job that increases your cardiovascular and pulmonary endurance, such as pushing a full wheelbarrow.

Finish up with a bit of weeding. Remember that every movement

is an exercise in itself and that you should always work at your own pace.

Take frequent breaks and drink lots of water.

Make the most of these rest pe riods to do more stretching and think about repeating them once your garde ning session is over.

Follow these tips to stay exhaustion-free in the garden

GARDEN ESSENTIALS: Wheel that barrowA wheelbarrow is an essential

piece of equipment for carrying soil, gravel, leaves or any other load.

But, do you know how to use it properly?

You may think there’s nothing to it, but lots of gardeners end up with shoulder and back pain or pulled muscles after an afternoon using a wheelbarrow.

This is unfortunate, because wheelbarrows are meant to make garde ning easier

The first rule to follow to avoid aches and pains is to not overload your wheelbarrow.

Filling it to the maximum in order to reduce how many trips you make is a major error.

The more demands you put on your body, the greater the chance you have of not being able to lift anything for a few days.

And just because your wheel-barrow comes with two, three or four wheels, or can carry 225 kilograms, that doesn’t mean your body can work any harder to push the load.

The second rule is to spread the load equally. A balanced load, equally weighted on both sides, will increase the stability of your wheelbarrow tenfold.

A stable wheelbarrow can be pushed more efficiently and you’ll feel more in control — while also minimizing the risk of falling.

Last but not least, the third rule is to use this tool properly.

The correct technique is simple — keep the body straight,

bend the knees slightly and stand up while lifting the handles with the strength of the hands and arms.

If you’re forcing with your

back, you’re not doing it right. To empty the wheelbarrow, tip

it forward, not to the side, using the strength in your hands and arms.

If you wheelbarrow correctly, you might be as proud as this guy looks.

HOME & GARDEN

Many gardeners love to admire the birds that take up residence, however briefly, in their backyards.

They put on such a wonderful show, especially when there’s a birdbath to splash around in during a heat wave.

However, very few peo-ple think about designing a butterfly garden in a corner of their backyards, even though some specimens are a joy to behold.

Butterflies are a true delight and a sym bol of liv-ing nature.

But, they are not just beau tiful to look at — they are also very useful.

As they flutter from plant to plant, they spread the pollen that is so essential to plant reproduction.

The first thing to remem-ber when creating a but-terfly garden is to avoid the use of pesticides as much as possible, as butterflies are very sensitive to these pro-ducts.

In other words, love of butterflies translates into res pect for our environment.

Plan your butterfly gar-den for a spot that receives

plenty of full sun. Butterflies need lots of

sunshine to warm their mus-cles and wings, which is why we see more of these insects on warm, sunny days.

Create your garden one step at a time in order to avoid any frustration.

You could plant three or four of the annual varieties mentioned below du ring the first year and then add a few perennials in the second year.

You will be thrilled with the results in the garden.

Not only will you have added a touch of romance to your backyard, but you’ll be amazed to see what a busy place it suddenly is.

If you want to attract but-terflies to your garden, try planting centaurea, cosmos, sunflowers, petunias, French marigolds for annuals and achillea (yarrow), milkweed, asters, buddleia, rudbeckia, day lilies, la vender, monar-da, scabiosa for perennials.

Xeriscaping in KamloopsXeriscape means “water conservation through creative landscaping”. Landscapes suited to our semi-arid climate conserve water and have an advantage over pest problems. Apply these principles to any garden style and have a healthy, high quality landscape:

1. Planning and design: Group plants according to their water use. Slope hardsurfaces to drain to planted areas. Avoid steep slopes – create terraces instead. Use groundcovers on gentle slopes.

2. Good soils: Organic matter is an excellent soil amendment. It improves moisture holding capacity in sandy soils and helps to loosen clay soils.

3. Appropriate plant selection: Drought tolerant plants thrive here. There are many beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers with low water needs.

4. Practical turf areas: Replace unused lawns with other plants. Use hard- surfacing for play courts, patios, and walkways.

5. Water wisely: Water deeply, but infrequently to encourage deep rooting and drought-tolerance.

6. Mulch: Apply a layer of organic matter to: protect roots from elements, enrich soil, and control weeds.

7. Proper maintenance: Your landscape will require less maintenance overtime.

Bob Houghton stood in the middle of the field and slowly did a com-plete 360-degree turn, taking in every part of the view possible.

As he turned, Tim McLeod said, his smile grew and grew.

Finally, Houghton — who had come to visit the fields he once worked — looked at McLeod and said: “It does my heart good to see this happening again.”

Already, those fields at Tranquille on the Lake have Yukon gold pota-toes planted. Garlic and lettuce from last year that somehow survived the winter have popped through the soil.

In a couple of weeks, 170 acres of organic bar-ley will be planted.

Tranquille is tranquil no more as the hustle and bustle of growing, farming, cooking, teach-ing and sharing returns to the site at the far northwest end of the city.

Official opening is June 1, but activities start in mid-May as the B.C.

Vintage Car Club arrives from noon to 3 p.m., welcoming the public to check out their vehicles as they hold their annual meeting.

The Everything Eden Garden Centre at Tranquille opens that day, with baskets prepared by master gar-dener Shelaigh Garcon available.

The food carts operated by Dave and Deb Burgess — most Kamloopsians likely know them as the folks behind the wheel of the Bellringer Espresso roaming food truck — and Colin Hammerquist, owner of Edesia Catered Events, will be out, serv-ing up lattes, wraps and other comestibles.

The car group con-nected with Tranquille through members who visited the farmers’ mar-ket last year, McLeod said.

He learned of Garcon from others who had volunteered at the site.

The Burgesses and Hammerquist also came together with Tranquille through a common love of all things food — growing, picking, sort-

ing, cooking and eating.“We’re building a

community out here,” said McLeod, the project manager who also calls the site his home.

Even the recently hired agritourism devel-oper, Cindy Hayden, started her connection with the site first by signing up to eventually live in one of the homes planned there and, later, through her volunteering and selling her stained-glass works at the mar-ket.

Somewhere out in the fields are more than 100 baby chicks that will call Tranquille home for the summer — until they become free-range chickens headed to the market.

It’s another part-nership with people who share the vision, McLeod said.

There is a logic and underlying principle guiding it all — a deter-mination to create once work begins on the now-approved residen-tial phases; to integrate urban farming into the lifestyles of the people who will also eventually call it home; to deter-mine the best gardening process to maximize profitability — but not at the cost of the integrity of the land.

That’s one of the rea-

sons Garcon was hired. Working alongside

her in the fields is Brayden Stephenson, a horticulturist.

“What we are try-ing to figure out is how much land would a young person need to make a living,” McLeod said.

“What we’re really trying to do is elimi-nate the middle man, something the summer markets are successfully doing.

Best estimate of visitors last summer is between 10,000 and 15,000, he said — “The reason we don’t know is we don’t really count” — with 700 paying to take tours of the area.

One night, Hayden said, with a large corn maze the newest attrac-tion, “we looked down the road and all you could see were lights, headlights. It was grid-lock out there. People were parking their cars and walking all the way in.”

In a six-hour period, 1,500 went through the maze.

This year, it will be much larger and, for the young ones who found the big version a bit scary, a more timid maze made from alfalfa will also be available.

The partnerships

continue. Recently, McLeod was contacted by the teacher-librarian at Sa-Hali secondary about ways to work the site into classroom cur-riculum.

He will be hosting some of the teachers soon as they tour and brainstorm.

McLeod doesn’t think it will be all that difficult, given the site has a history that goes back to days long before it was best known as a sanitarium.

To a time, for exam-ple, when Tranquille was a port on the river through which plenty of locally grown produce was shipped.

The port is gone, but the dedication to the earth, to foods that aren’t sprayed with pesticides, to appreciation of history rather than the bulldoz-ing it over in the name of progress all remain.

A recent moment sums it up for McLeod.

He was at his home with visitors.

Their young son was outside, exploring the expanse when he suddenly burst into the house.

“He stopped and looked at us and said, ‘You don’t need a TV here’,” McLeod said.

“And then he was gone again.”

When looking for someone to receive its Distinguished Service Award, the B.C. School Superintendents Association has some basic crite-ria.

The recipient must have made a significant con-tribution to public education in the province, made exemplary contributions to the association mem-bers and school districts and been an association member for at least five years.

Terry Sullivan fit the bill for 2013.The Kamloops-Thompson school district super-

intendent — elected president of the association in November — was described by Steve Cardwell, past-president of the BCSSA, as one of the reasons the education system is the province is good.

“Our public-education system is the best because of the dedication, caring and wisdom of individuals,” Cardwell said.

“Terry exemplifes these attributes. It is his leadership that helps to ensure that we have an out-standing system.”

Cardwell, superintendent for the Vancouver school board, noted Sullivan has been a teacher and principal in elementary and secondary schools and a vice-principal in secondary school.

“In fact,” Cardwell said, “I think the only job he has not held at a school is that of custodian.”

Sullivan received the award at a recognition din-ner on April 11.

Free-men; The truth will set you free.“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can’t be any large-scale revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got to happen inside rst.” -Jim Morrison There is this misconception that people who call themselves free-men are these crazy lawless criminals who have no respect for the laws of Canada; thus no respect for the people of Canada; free-men only waste tax payers money, and that if we don’t like it here, we can go somewhere else because we are nothing but free loading traitors to the people of Canada. This reaction is natural, for to learn that the truth is often painful. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. -Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher (1788 – 1860) The fact is, we Free-men types are among the proudest patriotic Canadians that walk this land, as such we nd it both our duty and honour to ght enemies of liberty and freedom: both foreign and domestic whenever they compel the presence of tyranny and injustice plaguing this once great nation, no matter the cost. We Free-men are often put under extreme threat and duress, often being imprisoned by a corrupt system to prove our point peacefully, that Canada is no longer Canada, British Columbia is no longer beautiful, and that will not do. Anyone who believes BC and Canada as a whole is not suffering any form of corruption, that it’s laws are not lopsided and unconstitutional that wither away freedom, democracy and liberty, is seriously medicated and focusing to much on being/watching dancing with the stars and walking dead. Each of us has a duty to serve justice and truth; Indeed the pen is mightier than the sword, especially when the government holds a sword of injustice to our throat. In fact the only “legal” way to over throw or oust corrupt government is peacefully; thus we free men are servants of justice and truth in this manner. “To oppose corruption in government is the highest obligation of patriotism.” G. Edward Grif n When an government agent is subrogated to enforce unconstitutional legislation that is often little more than revenue collecting/highway robbery at the barrel of a taser and gun, we free men courageously and calmly say; “sorry of cer, I can not recognize such nonsense of you blindly enforcing unconstitutional legislation that is slowing sucking the life out of liberty”. It wasn’t always this way, ten years ago, for the most part, legislation was within the limits of its Constitution “Act”, people could live without persecution every time we turned around. For example, drinking driving legislation that limited levels to .08 were acceptable, and realistic, furthermore, one was innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, able to challenge charges in court. Though now Fiberal legislation has been passed that says .05 is the limit, and you are now found guilty by an RCMP agent who acts as judge, jury, and prosecution using awed equipment and policies that indeed have been found to be unconstitutional. I often get accused of wasting tax payers money challenging unconstitutional legislation in court, using up precious court time; though how much is this unconstitutional legislation going to cost taxpayers now that it has nally been proven to be unconstitutional; 50 million...perhaps even a billion dollars? “There are just laws and there are unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that an unjust law is no law at all... One who breaks an unjust law must do it openly, lovingly...I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law.” MLK The fact of the matter is; It IS our duty to Question Why; it is NOT our duty to simply serve and die as “they” would have us believe. “They” pulled that scheme a couple times when they duped our forefathers into ghting wars under the impression that it was the “war to end all wars”. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me-no more. Each of us has an obligation to know the law, for ignorance of the law is no excuse. Hence, we do not deny the charge of using up Crown’s precious Courts, for what are courts for, if not to make legal determinations and challenges, where else are we to nd the truth, make our point that no matter what force and coercions, threats and duress the subrogated system enforces at the barrel of gun, we will not yield to injustice and fraud? Sadly we free men bear the brunt of tyranny as we often nd ourselves in prison for making a political point. For free men, Prison is a badge of honour proudly worn due to wounds suffered while ghting tyranny and injustice. Free-men have broken loose of the chains of today’s toxic society by learning who we are, and perhaps more importantly who “they” are, and the fraud that “they” compel on the whole population that has lead us to this sick toxic society in which we see children born into debt and sickness, families go hungry ‘n broke in the richest country of the world, and a environment overwhelmed with industrial disease that plagues 1 in 2 people. Free-men and the like, world wide, have been reverse engineering how Hierarchy/Oligarchy have been manipulating the masses; making everything “legal”, including every war and political subversion and subrogation...including our own. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” MLKTis true, I have been arrest several times, many may remember the mayors election in which the powers at be had me arrested, held in jail for three days, then 7 months of my Liberties arrested, only to have the case thrown out when it nally did make it before Her Majesty’s court. More recently, on Monday, April 15th I received a phone call from my bank informing me they were arresting/seizing my bank account because CRA told them to. I had just deposited every penny I had to transfer into the election account, [$5000] on Friday. Tuesday, the day the provincial elections Writ dropped, I spent the day crafting a Writ of my own; [Notice of Cease and Desist] two in fact, one to the bank demanding to deliver the legislation that obligated them to act in a way that is harming me. The other Writ of Cease and Desist to CRA informing them of their breach of their own laws, and an explanation in three days or face the consequences of their actions/inactions under the law; Ezekiel 33. 6-10. On Wednesday I received a fax back from CRA apologizing for any inconveniences, and that I no longer needed to pay the $107 000 that was demanded. For the record, I have never refused to pay taxes, I will happily pay under conditions of CRA disclosure. The onus is on them, for when you learn YOU hold the POWER and AUTHORITY, the truth will set you free. That same truth can and will set our province, country, and world free, for it is the “Way” simply because we can not expect to solve the problems we face today, by using the same thinking, the same people that got us into these problems in the rst place. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” -George Orwel“Being a free man is not a new concept, history is full of reference to freemen, even by government as free men adorn the walls of every city hall. Perhaps the most famous quote of free-men in legislation; “No Freeman shall be taken or imprisoned, or be disseised of his Freehold, or Liberties, or free Customs, or be outlawed, or exiled, or any other wise destroyed; nor will We not pass upon him, nor condemn him, but by lawful judgment of his Peers, or by the Law of the Land.” Magna Carta. The Magna Carta is the basis for all codi ed law today, and still in effect. You may remember Magna Carta be brought on tour to Canada, shortly before the anniversary of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms Act 1982 and shortly after Toronto G8 meetings in which we were told, ‘this is no longer Canada”. Both of which the Con-servatives did their very best to make as little hype as possible. Magna Carta hardly got the time of day, because if people knew the authority they hold, there would be a revolt tomorrow. Same Goes for the Charter of Rights and Freedoms 1982, which celebrated its 30th anniversary last year, though with no celebrations from Crime-Minister Harper/Hitler Government, because the Charter is the modern day Magna Carta [contained in the Constitution Act 1982] that is suppose to keep politicians and bureaucrats in check. The Constitution “Act” is the guide and governor of Liberty and Justice, preferably to be kept out of publics forefront as modern day pirate politicians uses it for ass-wipe. Also relatively unknown [pre-dating charter] Canadian Bill of Rights [1960] Preamble; “The Parliament of Canada, af rming that the Canadian Nation is founded upon principles that acknowledge the supremacy of God, the dignity and worth of the human person and the position of the family in a society of free men and free institutions” “Never forget that everything Hitler did was Legal” MLKAnother “legal” loophole that is used against the ignorant public, [perhaps the biggest scheme in history] is your silence is your consent. Indeed those of us who think we are making a difference by not voting, are actually consenting to whatever tyranny and dismantling of democracy governments do, indeed they act for you as the Vicar of you unless you tell ‘em to go y a kite. Somewhere I read, that Canada is a free society, and that we have freedoms, guaranteed to us, and that each of us is indeed free; that should make us 35 million freemen shouldn’t it? Unfortunately most of us are not free, though if only you would realize you could be free, we can be free; free from debt, free from high taxes, free from persecution and restrictions of our liberties. Though as it stands now, the majority of us are not free, people live harnessed in fear, in ignorance, in stress, in anger, in debt, people live in anything but freedom. Freedom in not merely a word, [as some would have us believe], freedom is authority, freedom is justice, its being awake and responsible for your actions, knowing who you are and how you t into the natural “Way” of life. Freedom is having a government of the people by the people, serving the people instead of corporations and legislation designed to eece the sheople. It is only by tyranny’s hand that man has risen up from the ashes of democracy like a Phoenix to do battle with goliath government once more, not with sword, but with word, evidenced by the thousands of people taking part in peaceful demonstrations and dissidence against government tyranny, injustice, and ignorance that is destroying democracy, society, and Mother Earth. We hold these truths to be self-evident; witness the “Movement”; Arab-Spring, Occupy-Wall Street, [and the worlds immoral corporations] We-Are-Change, Idle-No-More, and yes Free-Men-On-The-Land. We all have one thing in common; we are all tired of corrupt government and corporations dictating to the world, destroying the fabric of life; family & environment. We are all willing to stand up against all odds, even willing to go to jail for a belief that we are all free, we are all equal, and that none, [especial multinational corporations and politicians] are above the Law. We are all saying, your way is not the right way, if it was, society wouldn’t be facing the challenges we are today. So We say; to continue down this path leading to irreversible destruction and suffering is not acceptable. We are proud Canadians who peacefully demonstrate in the street; but when they pepper-spray, beat, and arrest us for exercising our right to free speech, we demonstrate by questioning/resisting taxes, and saying no to legislation that is clearly unconstitutional, by not participating in their scheme that no longer recognizes life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Maxim; That which is created, cannot be greater than the Creator; Government and corporations are the ones who are living in freedom; freedom to rape and pollute the land, steal taxpayer’s money, freedom from regulation as corporations regulate themselves. Government free to raise taxes, spend tax payers cash on anything, free to pass new legislation that allows them and corporations to do anything they want “legally”. Indeed wars are legal; Even the bombs and bullets are free, as are the men who operate them, free to kill legally; “license to kill”. In fact everyone in government and corporations are free from persecution and responsibility because they are indemni ed by a “person” known as a corporation. Take for instance the condition of the world drenched in debt and depression; corporate CANADA 600 billion in debt, corporate PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA 50 billion in debt, yet Canada is the richest country per person per capita in the world; with all the wealth of natural resources as well as taxes, government cannot operate within its means? The question of who we owe this money to must be answered; Answer-To the devil himself, disguised as debt! “The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.”- Flannery O’Conner CANADA HAD NO MAJOR DEBT LOAD UNTILL THE 70’S WHEN TRUDEAU Sr SOLD OUT THE FINIACIAL SYSTEM TO PRIVATE CORPORATE BANKS OWNED BY A POWERFUL FEW OLIGARCHY: Canada went through two world wars, built one of the worlds largest navies, later a trans-canada railway and highway, Medicare, childcare, pension fund and more! All with out any long-term debt. Also fact is that income tax was meant to be a temporary measure during the war, of course they don’t teach you history and law in public schools, though strangely ignorance of the law is no excuse. If they did, you would learn that income tax is indeed a fraud; income tax does not pay for one thing, it does not go into general revenue, it goes to pay a portion of the interest of the National debt. Each year the debt grows, of the 600 billion debt, less than one quarter represents the principle originally borrowed, the rest represents the interest that has been growing daily since the 70’s. Canada can go back to debt free borrowing; there is a better way. The Power of One is In nite; One Free man can effect change, don’t let anyone tell You, that anything you set your mind to is impossible, for all things are possible in the realm of possibility. Though as one man, I am limited in my resources for my task at hand of challenging ignorance and lies during the Provincial election Kamloops-South Thomposon, to represent and serve the people, and to speak the truth. Though my personal comfort is not of concern, money is but a tool of justice to me, I have spent every penny I have, [all of $5000] that I could scrape together to fund the campaign; it is greatly insuf cient to express the truth and present fresh innovative ideas to the public, and to address the issues. Though I refuse to knock on your door with hand out, I refuse to harass you on the phone as traditional politicians call on the poor and elderly day and night, goading them with guilt even though their parties already have millions to spew propaganda. I refuse to act in this way, for it is not honourable to do so, my conscious does not allow me to accept money from the poor and elderly, those who can least afford it. Though I do say to you, if what I say makes sense, if what I do inspires you, if my actions are good in your eyes, if you see the value, and you have excess to share, I humbly ask for your support. I am more than willing to talk to anyone about any topic, feel free to contact me. This isn’t about me, this about all of us standing up for each other, restoring truth and justice for the people of this once great nation that has fallen, whom among us refuse to let the ag fall, please do give me a call. {after 6pm}250 851 5594 or email: [email protected], facebook: Elect BRIAN ALEXANDER 4 Kamloops-South Thompson.

The Kamloops and District Labour Council is hosting a Day of Mourning ceremony to acknowledge and remember all workers killed and injured on the job.

April 28 is the International Day of Mourning as recognized by the United Nations and the International Labour Organization.

The public event will take place on Sunday, April 28, at 3 p.m. at St. Andrews on the Square, at Seymour Street and Second Avenue.

There will be guest speakers and refreshments.

About 150 British Columbians are killed on the job every year — and, in the vast majority of circumstances, the deaths are preventable.

“There’s appears to be non-stop lobbying from the business commu-nity to fight legislation that protects workers if that legislation also cuts into their profit margins,” said Peter Kerek, president of the Kamloops

District Labour Council.“It’s scary to think that some gov-

ernments will do anything to appease their corporate sponsors.

“Grant’s Law is a perfect exam-ple,” Kerek said.

“It was a response to a horrific death of a gas-station attendant who understood it was his duty to prevent theft — and it was a good law to have in place to protect these types of vul-nerable workers.

“It’s simply unconscionable to start watering down protective laws for the sake of profitablility, especially when we live in such an abundantly wealthy society with an incredibly profitable business com-munity.”

Kerek said it has been little more than a year since the B.C. Liberal government weakened the law. He said labour activists are hoping the legislation is brought back in its entirety.

Whenever there is a multiple shooting death in the United States, the phone at CMHA begins to ring for us to comment about the link between mental illness and violent crime.

When there is a bombing, such as the events in Boston, the phone never rings.

Presumably, news media believe bomb-ings are performed by people who are men-tally well.

It is hard to describe to journalists and the community that the same deviant thought patterns and motivations may be at play in both types of crimes, which are often the sources of the violent act, rather than any mental illness that the perpetrator may have.

The one thing both types of tragedies have in common is that there are incessant replays of news footage — not every day, but every 10 minutes.

In all of this cover-age, there is very little actual news reporting, just a great deal of spec-ulation and often errone-ous information.

Why do networks do this — and why should

we be concerned that they do this?

The answer to the first question in obvious: People tune in looking for answers and, because there are no answers yet, the only way networks can keep viewers glued to their sets is to give made-up answers, non-answer answers or say there is “breaking news” expected in the next few moments.

Why should we be concerned about this?

In the rush to be the first to air information — correct or not — and with viewers wanting to be the first to know, perceptions are formed and are very difficult to overcome later if they are wrong.

By far the most vulnerable are the unin-tended target of children viewers, especially young viewers who are paying very little attention to the actual broadcast and do not understand much of what they see or hear, but sense or see distress in their parents — who

are the child’s only link to security and well-being,

When the child asks his or her parents what is wrong, they get told to go play.

When they ask if the bad people are caught, they get “I don’t know, or not yet.”

From another room they hear the mutterings and conversation of their parents and they are especially sensitive to their parents’ tone when they talk.

To young kids, fake violence in movies and TV dramas are just as real to them, but what are they learning from our non-reactions to it?

What should parents do?

Well, of course, do not let children see or hear the graphic images or the sounds or near-hysterical reporters who are overly excited because police cars drive past the camera.

More importantly, do not watch this as-it-happens garbage report-ing yourself.

Children will take their cue from your emotional state and behaviour more than from anything you tell them, and if you are not becoming upset, neither will they.

That way, when children ask about the events of the day, you can respond rationally — and with truth and actual facts that should be tailored to each child’s ability to under-stand and cope with the information received.

With younger chil-dren, put the story in context — “Boston is far, far away” or “We live in a safe place.”

Remember, your child’s mental health depends on the example you set and your behav-iour communicates the level of comfort they feel they can have.

Watching garbage news while reassuring your child they are safe is like the parent who urges their children not to smoke in between puffs of a cigarette.

Until next time, prac-tise good mental health and send your com-ments and ideas to [email protected] — because we love to hear from you.

SHEILA THERESA (FAIR) BEDARDMarch 30, 1941 - April 20, 2013

Surrounded by her family in a room fi lled with love, Sheila peacefully passed away with a smile on her face. Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend will be dearly missed and forever remembered.

Sheila was born in Oliver, B.C. and then shortly after moved to Vancouver, B.C. She attended St. Patrick’s Catholic School where she developed her strong faith. Sheila passed on the gift of faith to her family throughout her life and up to her last breath.

At the age of twelve, Sheila and her parents, Marie and Omar Fair moved to Heffl ey Creek, B.C. This is where she met and fell in love with Al Bedard. While living in Heffl ey Creek, Sheila discovered a passion for loving and riding horses. Upon graduating from Kamloops High School in 1958, Sheila was employed by BC Highways and the Royal Bank Main Branch. For over 30 years, Sheila served her community by volunteering for the Heffl ey Creek Waterworks District. In September of 1961, Al and Sheila were married at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Heffl ey Creek. Sheila and Al built their home on family land, next door to the Parish, where Al continues to reside. In their Heffl ey Creek home they raised Dion, Deanna and Deborah. Sheila was the happiest when her husband, children and grandchildren were gathered around her

creating special memories and enjoying her home cooked meals.

Sheila is survived by her loving husband Al Bedard, her children: Dion Bedard (Michele), Gabriel, Madeline, Samuel; Deanna Loychuk (Jackson), Petro, Maximus; Deborah Bacon (Corey), Brody, Dylan, Sophie, Jack and her sister Penuel Rosso.

Sheila is predeceased by her loving parents Marie and Omar Fair, her two sisters Margaret Shephard and Phyllis Bepple and her in-laws George and Kay Bedard.

Prayers will be recited on Friday, April 26th, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. at St. John Vianney Parish, located at 2826 Bank Road, Westsyde. Monsignor Jerry Desmond will celebrate the Funeral Mass at St. John Vianney Parish on Saturday, April 27th, 2013 at 1:00 p.m., with a reception to follow.

In lieu of fl owers, the family has asked for donations to be made to the Sheila Bedard Memorial Fund at Kamloops Senior Village. They would like to provide additional beds for family staying with their loved ones. Please contact Adrienne Nice at 250-571-1803 for more information.

NEVER QUITWhen things go wrong

as they sometimes will,

When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill

When funds are low and debts are high

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

� � � �Success is failure

turned inside out –

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far,

So, stick to the fi ght when you’re hardest hit –

It’s when things seem worst that

You must not quit!

If I knew it would be the last time That I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say “I love you,” instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there’s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right.

There will always be another day to say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance to say our “Anything I can do?”

But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you’ll surely regret the day,

That you didn’t take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you’ll always hold them dear

Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or “It’s okay.” And if tomorrow never comes, you’ll have no regrets about today.

THE KAMLOOPS RAIDERS’ WOMEN

HAVE OFTEN TAKEN A BACK SEAT TO THE RUGBY CLUB’S MEN.

That is not the case this weekend.

The B.C. Rugby Union Women’s Big Kahuna Division One provincial semifinal — featuring the Raiders (6-0) and Meraloma Rugby Club (3-3) of Vancouver — kicks off at 11:30 a.m. at Rayleigh Rugby Park on Saturday, April 27.

“We were undefeat-ed through the second half of the season,” said winger Erin Connelly-Reed, the club’s presi-dent.

“I think finally [women’s head coach

Scott Tindall] has start-ed to gel with us.

“We’re working his training system a lot better. We’re more cohesive.”

The women’s tilt will be followed by a pair of men’s matches.

Seattle is in town to play Kamloops, with the men’s second-division match getting underway at 1 p.m. and the first-division game kicking off at 2:30 p.m.

The American team’s first-division squad is 4-10-1 on the season, with its seconds sitting at 4-11.

Kamloops’ men — the firsts at 7-8, the seconds at 4-11 — did not qualify for the post-season, making this weekend’s border battles the curtain call for the 2012-2013 cam-paign.

The Raiders’ women will be con-

fident heading into the weekend, hav-ing beaten Meraloma 25-7 at Jericho Park in Vancouver on April 20.

“Meraloma has a shifty scrum half,” Connelly-Reed said.

“She’s really good at picking, faking a pass and then going. She’s their strongest point.”

Should the Raiders advance, they will make a trip down the Coquihalla for the pro-vincial final, which will be played on the Lower Mainland on May 4.

Bickering between the men’s and women’s sides at KRC is a regu-lar occurrence, but the verbal jabs will likely stop on Saturday — at least for a few hours — when the women take centrestage.

“It’s kind of nice,” Connelly-Reed said.

“It’s a big game.”

Tawnee Abbott and the women of Kamloops Rugby Club will take centrestage at Rayleigh Rugby Park on Saturday, April 27. They are hosting Meraloma Rugby Club of Vancouver in the B.C.

MORTGAGE MATTERSSave your home!

Don’t sell your home unless you want to! Bills, household expenses and poorly structured mortgages can wreck havoc on the family fi nances. If this sounds like you, there are options

to explore, and you often don’t have to sell your home unless you want to!

Bills and high housing costs can sometimes be addressed by looking at three things:

1. AmortizationFor years, many lenders have been advising clients to choose 20 or 25 year amortizations

so the client doesn’t have to pay as much interest over the life of the mortgage. Good idea right? Well, the problem is that sometimes the payments are so high that the client ends up putting emergency expenditures, vacations and other expenses on high interest credit cards.

The result is that people end up paying off 3%, 4% and 5% mortgage debt and building up 9%, 19% and 29% credit card debt. The high credit card interest can become unbearable and

force the sale of your home. 35 year amortizations are still available! Conditions apply

2. Refi nancingIn some cases, we can use the equity from your house to payoff credit card bills, car loans,

etc. This means we pay off high interest debt with low interest debt. We can’t always change how much money you owe, but we can change how much interest you get charged on it.

3. Cashback Would a cashback mortgage work for you? In this type of mortgage, you receive a lumpsum of 2% or 5% at closing which you can use to reduce bills etc. The extra money can reduce overall household monthly payments or can be used to payoff closing costs or mortgage

penalty. The mortgage payments are higher for this type of mortgage.

If you are struggling with month to month bills or know someone who is, call me BEFORE you miss a payment. Once you have missed payments reported on your credit bureau,

lenders are less likely to approve your mortgage change.*

Whether you are a fi rst-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refi nancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today. For more information about

qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specifi c situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail [email protected] or check out my website at

The Wizards of Boz are heading to Croatia to try out for its under-20 national basketball team.

Blaz and Ivan Bozinovic — the 6-foot-11 twins who play for the TRU WolfPack men’s bas-ketball team — were caught by surprise when the Croatian coach contacted their family.

“I was shocked when they spoke to us on the phone about it,” Ivan said.

“It came out of the blue. We think we are the only North Americans being asked

to try out. Many of the players that are trying out play professional in Croatia.”

Tryouts begin in Zagreb on May 2.

The team selected will play for Croatia at the under-20 European championships in Estonia in July.

“Somehow, the Croatian under-20 national team con-tacted them and asked if they would be inter-ested,” WolfPack head coach Scott Clark said.

“The Croatian Basketball Federation then got a hold of me to get their release for May and June.

“Academically, it fits in with what we are doing. We hope that they have some success over there. It benefits our basketball program and our university.”

The St. Ann’s secondary graduates have a Croatian father and visit the Eastern European country often.

“I go over there for a bit every sum-mer,” said Ivan, who, along with his brother, is heading into his third year with the WolfPack.

“I hope that I can pick up the language again quickly. It is an

easy language to pick up. Hopefully, by the time training camp starts, I will know what the coaches are trying to yell at me.”

Both brothers are expecting stiff compe-tition.

“They have won the U20 and the U18 European titles the last few years,” Ivan said.

“They are the favou-rites for sure this year.

“When we get over there we will have more of a feeling of what our chances are. Right now, all we have done is watch a couple of games on YouTube.” — TRU sports information

IT BECAME CLEAR EARLY IN THE INTERVIEW THAT SOMETHING WAS DIFFER-ENT.

I was talking to Paul Spence, an actor and musician best known for his role as Deaner in the 2002 cult-classic mockumentary Fubar.

The interview was supposed to be about Spence’s band, Nightseeker, and its upcoming show in Kamloops.

I dialed the number provided by

the band’s public-relations person.Someone picked up. Then there

was silence for a second or two. Finally, a word: “Ya.”I was startled by the silence. You

forget how accustomed you become to hearing words as soon as the other end of the line picks up.

But, I recognized the voice.“Is this Deaner?” I asked.“Ya,” he replied.“How’s it going?” was my next

lame attempt at conversation while trying to get settled.

“Just f--kin’ deadly, man,” was the response from the other end.

It didn’t sound like an actor. It sounded like Deaner. So, I asked: “Am I talking to Deaner right now? Or is this Paul?”

The reply was quick.“This is f--kin’ Deaner, man,”

he said. “It’s me.”It was — at least for the 15 min-

utes we spoke on the phone — who he was.

And that, for me, was the take-away.

The stage production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast will play Interior Savings Centre on Tuesday, April 30.

A TALE AS OLD AS TIME

Beauty and the Beast — facts and figures8 — Disney’s Beauty and

the Beast is the eighth-longest-running musical in Broadway history, having ran for 13 years.

59 — The travelling com-pany is made up of 30 cast

members, two parents, 12 crew members, 11 musi-cians, two merchandise reps and two managers, for a total of 59 people.

3,300 — In order to cast the production, more than

3,300 people auditioned for 30 jobs.

580 — The production uses 580 costume pieces, including many that were used during its lengthy run on Broadway

By Tim PetrukSTAFF REPORTER

[email protected]

It’s safe to assume everybody knows the story of Beauty and the Beast.

But, just because you’ve seen the classic animated movie, released by Disney in 1991, doesn’t mean you won’t appreciate the stage produc-tion that’s rolling into Kamloops next week.

“For this tour, they brought back the original creative team,” choreog-rapher Matt West told KTW, referring to the team that produced the original Broadway version of Beauty and the Beast, which debuted in 1994.

“We said, ‘Do we re-create what we’ve done? Or, do we start over and re-think it?’

“After 17 years, hopefully you have another idea or two.”

West said the creative team started from scratch — as scratch as you can get when you’re working with a clas-sic fairytale.

“We re-thought the interior of the castle and the set,” he said.

ON BROADWAYDisney’s Beauty and the Beast

debuted on Broadway on April 18, 1994 — three years after the film version hit theatres.

The stage production featured new scenes and musical numbers to fill out the story and suit it to live performance.

The production includes six musi-cal numbers from the film — which won Oscars for best song and best musical score — as well as six origi-nals and one that was cut from the movie.

Nightseeker is not a band that happens to feature an actor who played a very memorable character from a very memorable movie.

Nightseeker is a band featur-ing Deaner — and, according to him, they rock.

“Nightseeker is basically, like, all the best things of AC/DC and Metallica meets Black Sabbath,” Deaner said.

“We throw a little Poison in there for the ladies, too.

“It’s sweet.”As for the show itself —

Saturday, April 27, at Bailey’s Pub on Eighth Street in North Kamloops — Deaner urged attendees to come prepared.

“It’s a straight-up rock show,” he said.

“Get on your tight jeans and your rock shirt and get lubed up before you come out.”

But, not too lubed up.“No one can give’r 24-seven,”

Deaner cautioned.“Not even Apollo or any of

those wicked Gods. It’s all about pace.

“So, get a couple a wob-bly pops in ya. But, if you start at two o’clock, you might be

passed out by 10 and not even make it to the show.”

Wise words from someone who would know.

If you manage to avoid pass-ing out and make it to Bailey’s for the Nightseeker show, expect to see a lot of Pilsner being con-sumed.

Deaner admitted he feels a little guilty about Fubar’s effect on the price of Pil — which seems to have risen substantially

in recent years.“I think that’s pretty much our

fault,” he said.“They kept it cheap because

no one would buy it. “It’s like making milk super

expensive for babies that grew up on milk. I grew up on Pilsner.

“It’s like a girl said to me one time: ‘I get a headache when I drink Pil.’

“Yeah? Well I get a headache when I don’t.”

Concert will not funkin blowFrom B1

Deaner (second from left) poses for a photo with the other members of Nightseeker. The band will play Bailey’s Pub on Saturday, April 27.


“The scenery just moves more — pieces of scenery turn and open up.

“It was a pleasure to infuse the old gal with new ideas and new technologies.”

As much as the pro-duction might be fresh, it’s still the classic story

everyone knows.And that, West said,

is what has allowed Beauty and the Beast to hold up.

“It has a good mes-sage,” he said.

“It’s fun and it’s also a fantastic show that bridges the gap between children and adults and entertains both of them.”

The production features 13 musical numbers — six from the film, six originals written for the stage and one, Human Again, that was written for the original film score but wound up on the cutting-room floor.

‘It has a good message’

The Henry Small Band will per-form at the Plaza Heritage Hotel, 405 Victoria St., on Saturday, May 4, in a fundraiser to help Shane Lloyd.

The 19-year-old was left a paraple-gic after a tree fell on him while he was logging on Vancouver Island.

Hotel assistant general manager Ron Johnson said Lloyd “is doing much better now. Immediately after the accident happened in late March, Lloyd had two days of marathon operations to repair a severed aorta and to stabilize his spine.

“He’s still got a long way to go,” Johnson said, noting the plan is to move the teenager to a rehabilitation centre next and raise enough money to buy a wheelchair.

The estimated cost for the chair Lloyd requires is about $8,000.

The hotel is involved with Lloyd’s situation because the teen’s mother, Bev, works in the office there.

The hotel already held a barbecue earlier this month to help kick-start a fund to help the family.

The concert and dance will be in the newly christened Blackwell Ballroom.

Tickets are $15 plus taxes and are available at the hotel front desk.

Doors open at 8 p.m., with Small and his eight-person band taking the stage at 9 p.m.

Johnson said the hotel will have food available for purchase at the event.

ALL THE PARAPHER-nalia associated with the upcoming provincial election are in place or

getting there for May 14.These include the printed bro-

chures, signs large and small and the rationed — if not irrational — radio broadcasts seeking to out-promise each other.

All are in active mode.Soon will follow the tasteless

debates, haranguing the enemy camps and throwing decency and civility out the hall doors.

For the electorate, the most intemperate part to swallow of the whole show is the loose use of words.

More than noise pollution, pollution emanating from empty words is wreaking havoc in our society.

Taming one’s tongue is a thing of the past in modern election battles.

The power of speech is one of the greatest abilities God has given mankind.

With our tongues, we can praise

God, pray, teach and preach.

With the same tongue, we can tell lies that can split homes, destroy hope or ruin a person’s reputation for all times.

The book of James in the New Testament describes tongue as the bit in horse’s mouth that controls the weighty animal.

James goes on to describe tongue as a small rudder at the tail end of a ship that steered ocean liners in pre-electronic age.

The sea might have been stormy, yet the little rudder in the hand of the captain could take the vessel safely though the rest of the voyage.

The tongue, likewise, must overcome contra forces.

We have an old nature that wants to control us and cause us to sin.

That nature encourages us to

gossip and speak harsh words against adversaries, to the point of even lying.

Moreover, there are circumstances and trials in life that cause us to say things that we ought not to say.

All these attack avenues need to be brought under control by surrender to the power of God work-

ing in teachable hearts. The writer of Psalm 141:3

didn’t have to depend on a speech writer when he sent up a prayer from his heart: “Lord, place a guard at my mouth, a sentry at the door of my lips.”

A psychologist’s study discov-ered an average person speaks about 12,000 sentences, containing over 100,000 words in one day.

Those words can either build up or destroy his or her hearers.

Words from our mouths can start fires that are easily quench-able.

A runaway tongue can spell disaster for the speaker, his friends and loved ones and even for his employer or organization.

At 8.30 p.m. on Oct. 8, 1871, one Mrs. O’Leary was milking a cow in her little barn on the edge of Chicago when suddenly the bovine kicked over a lantern.

The resulting fire spread far and wide all night long and into the next day.

Upwards of 100,000 people were left homeless, 17,000 build-ings were destroyed and more than 300 people died.

The total loss to the city was estimated at $400 million.

According to the saying of wise King Solomon, life and death are in the power of the tongue.

Men’s fortunes are oftener made by their tongues than by their virtues, and more people’s virtues are overthrown thereby than by their vices, said Sir Walter Raleigh.

To set the record straight, how-ever, the problem is not the tongue — it’s the heart.

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

Jesus declared, “Those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

“For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornication, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.”

These are the things which defile a person.

The tongue has power to direct and power to destroy.

Like a fountain of sweet water, the tongue can delight as well.

Is our heart right with God. If so, our words will be sweet sound-ing as well.

By Jane CassieTRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

travelwriterstales.com

“C’mon, you can do it,” my husband coaxes.

“If Evelyn Berens could summit Mt. Sir Donald in 1901 you can get to one of these four hundred glaciers.”

After driving the Trans Canada Highway’s 16 sce-nic kilometers from Revelstoke, we’re head-ing out on our first hike at Glacier National, an outdoor oasis that’s aptly named.

And, flanking the trail are placards reveal-ing its legendary roots.

From 1887 to 1925 Glacier House, a posh ninety-room retreat was operated here by the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Wealthy mountain-eers would come and after riding the rails would revel in the ame-nities — billiards, bowl-ing, buffets and glacial remains, just hiking steps away.

Berens, the first female to top one of the rugged peaks, is por-trayed in this historical photo shoot.

And, though her Victorian lace-ups were

no contender to my High-Tec footgear, she sure had cushier accom-modations.

Not that I’m com-plaining, though.

Once again, thanks to campingrvbc.com, we’ve been able to pre-plan our campsite and our roving home now nestles beneath the trees at nearby Illecillewaet campground.

Ten of the park’s 20 trails begin at this base camp and lead to spec-tacular ridges, vistas and glaciers.

“Let’s try Great Glacier trail,” I suggest to my mountain man.

It’s a moderate 3.5-hour jaunt with an easy elevation gain of 321 meters.

Even with my aging quads should be able to get to this ice field.

Initially, the century-old path is a breeze.

After bridging a roaring creek, we’re canopied by spruce and hemlock.

Omnipresent peaks are soon visible — some with jagged tops, others with snowy remains.

After veering around mammoth boulders, the inevitable uphill begins — and within half a

dozen switchbacks my heart rate is turbo-charged.

But the ascension is short and comes with visual rewards. Waterfalls cascade from rugged crests, shadows reflect from creased mountainsides and Illecillewaet Glacier shimmers in the back-drop.

“Back in Berens’ day, this ice-cloaked spectacle was reached in a lot less time,” I say, realizing there’s more uphill grunting in store.

“Since then it’s receded more than a kilometer and just keeps getting further away.”

Our trail is abruptly interrupted by a stream, but trekking to the glacier base can be achieved with some fancy footwork.

“There’s just a bit of scrambling,” Brent says with encouragement.

“And, it’s only slip-pery when wet.”

Although it’s reas-suring to hear that my mate has confidence in my mountaineering skills, I’m skeptical about the glistening boulders that now replace my solid foot-path.

I watch two German

hikers precede us and am pretty sure they have suction cups embedded into their hiking boots.

And, though they’ll likely reach the ice field in short order, I’m quite content to see this spec-tacle from afar.

“There are nine other ways to glacier-gaze from this campground,” Brent says, with hope, the next morning.

“Let’s go for more gusto on Glacier Crest Trail.”

In spite of the low-lying cloud my hubby and eager pup are keen to climb.

Before long, we’ve left the river — and far below, the silvery ribbon of Roger’s Pass hugs up to our mini-size campground.

“It’ll be a welcome sight after this 3,000 foot ascension,” Brent says, as we slowly head upwards over rugged roots and rocks.

Finally, we break out into the sub-alpine where panoramas abound.

Monster-size boul-ders, provide perfect pika pockets for the squeaky protesters.

Granite slabs, the size of small space

ships, create Mother Nature’s heaven-bound stairway and striking mountains rise stoically from a glacier-gouged valley.

Some have wrinkled faces washed by water-falls, many are pock-marked with serene grassy meadows and all are bearded with lush foothills.

After cresting a craggy ridge, we get

glimpses of the final reward.

Under bluebird skies it would be magnificent but, today, the virgin white snowfields play hide and seek with bil-lowy clouds.

“We could wait and see if it lifts,” I suggest, a longer rest break being an ulterior motive.

“Inclement weather can move in quickly,”

Brent warns, “We’d bet-ter head back.”

When we’re half-way down, the cloudy veil begins to lift and, by the time our camp-fire is lit, starlit skies are putting on a show.

“Looks like it’ll be clear tomorrow,” Brent says.

“And another great day for glacier gazing.”

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKCUISINE

That’s how the cookie crumblesIT’S 4 A.M. WHEN, AFTER

staying up to keep Chefhusband company though a long night of bak-ing fiddly cookies, my eyelids slam

shut.I wobble, then nearly fall off the

stool upon which I’ve been perched.

“Do you have enough yet?” I ask.

The cookies, little maple leaf-shaped tuile, must be perfect.

They must be identical in size, shape and golden colour. Each one, as they emerge hot from of the oven, must be gingerly manipulated into a three-dimensional wave that gives the effect of the leaves being blown gently, in the wind.

“No,” comes a voice from inside the oven and, for a moment I’m not sure whether he’s reaching for another cookie sheet or, in a fit of cookie fumes, has

decided to end it all.The oven is electric, though, so I don’t

ask him to move over.This is the winter of 1998. Chefhusband is newly graduated

from S.A.I.T.’s culinary-arts program in Calgary and has begun a three-year apprenticeship with Chef Dave Ryan, who is not only becoming one of the most highly awarded com-petitive chefs on the conti-nent, but will spark a culinary revolution throughout the Okanagan Valley.

“It’s just a cookie,” I mumble.

“It’s not just a cookie,” says Chefhusband. And, while I know this to be true, I scowl at the growing collec-

tion of leaf litter.The thing about tuile, you see, is they

crack, crumble and break more often than they take shape.

But, since maple leaves are required to

complete an intricate buffet platter des-tined for a culinary salon in Regina, there is no such thing as sleep.

Not when this is Chefhusband’s first food show, his first opportunity to show his mentor he has the chops (and cookies) to compete.

He wins a gold medal.In the years that follow, besides leaves,

there will be scalene triangles set over a rolling pin so they curve just so, savoury pink peppercorn tuile, twisted into crispy sticks and Parmesan tuile rings that clasp microgreen salads.

There will be a spot on the provincial culinary team. There will be tuile cones for ice cream. Chocolate fortune-cookie tuile. Almond-flecked tuile lattices. Orange-flavoured tuile dessert dishes and spoons. Heart-shaped tuile. Star-shaped tuile.

And tuile that aspire to edible modern art in swoops, loops and spires.

The team wins silver at Luxembourg’s Culinary World Cup — and Chefhusband moves over to assume a management role.

“Does this mean no more tuile?” I ask, trying to suppress a squeak of hope.

“Maybe,” he says.“Can we turn that maybe into a yes?”

I nudge.There’s a pause while he thinks.“Yes. No more tuile.”It’s a promise that sticks — for about a

year. Then, one day, the tuile are back.“You promised!” I say.“Promised what?” he says, spreading

batter over a handmade stencil that used to be a cottage-cheese container.

“Never mind,” I sigh. “I should’ve got-ten it in writing.”

He says “that would probably have been best,” and, with a smile, goes on to describe how the cookie labyrinths he’s shaping will be lifted at the centre when warm, to become snazzy dessert cages.

“Can I have your recipe?” I ask, having at last decided that, if I can’t win, I may as well join.

nicefatgurdie.wordpress.com. [email protected].

250 grams (1 cup plus 1 tbsp.) butter250 grams (1 cup plus 2 tbsp.) granulated

sugar3 egg whites240 grams (2 cups plus 2 tbsp.) all-purpose

flour

In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until fluffy, about two minutes. Beat in egg whites, followed by flour.

Line at least two baking sheets with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper. Spoon two table-spoons of the batter onto a sheet. Using an offset spatula, spread batter into a seven-inch circles with the edges slightly thicker than the center. (Three tuile will fit on one sheet.)

Bake at 350 F for nine minutes, rotating sheet halfway through, until edges of cookie turns golden.

Working quickly, and using a small offset spatu-la, immediately drape cookie over an upside-down custard bowl. Gently mould the warm cookie to the shape of the bowl (a larger bowl placed over top will help save your fingers).

Baker’s Note: If the tuile breaks, use broken bits as buttery shards in an ice cream sundae!
