sept 8

By Tim PetrukSTAFF [email protected]

Everyone remem-bers where they were on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when events were unfolding in New York City that would alter our world forever.

It’s no different for Kamloops Fire Rescue Chief Neill Moroz.

A decade ago, Moroz was KFR’s chief training officer, working his way up the department’s ranks.

“I remember the day quite well,” he said.

“I’m an early riser, so I was up watching the news.

“It took a while for it to sink in for me

what was happening.”Moroz said he

awoke his wife to have her watch the events with him.

Both of them were stunned.

Then, at 6:59 a.m. Kamloops time on Sept. 11, 2001, with Moroz and his wife glued to the televi-sion, the World Trade Center’s South Tower collapsed.

“I turned to her as the first building fell and I said to her,

‘There’s firefighters in

there,’” Moroz recalled.

“I just felt sick to

my stomach. You had

no idea how many, but

you know firefight-

ers are dying at that

moment.”Eight days later, on

Sept. 19, 2001, Moroz got a call from the Red Cross, asking for his help at Ground Zero.

Twenty-four hours after that, he was on a plane en route to New York.

Moroz worked at Ground Zero, providing logistical support for crews working the site.

Heat wave prompts citywide fi re ban

The tinder-dry condi-tions in the region have finally reached inside the city’s boundaries.

Kamloops Fire and Rescue has instituted a citywide fire ban, effec-tive immediately.

The ban will be in place until the extreme fire conditions in the city relent.

This ban applies to open fires of any size, including cooking fires and all types of fire-works.

The ban does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to portable campfire appliances with a CSA or ULC rating using briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel.

Campfire appliances that do not meet these requirements are prohib-ited.

The fire ban should

come as no surprise, as August proved to be the driest month on record in Kamloops.

Just 0.2 millimetres of rain fell last month.

There doesn’t appear to be any rain in the forecast as Environment Canada is calling for sunshine and highs in the low 30s through the weekend and into next week.

Sheldon Guertin, KFR’s life-safety educa-tor, noted the ban comes about a month later than in past years.

Anyone caught not following the rules can expect a $500 fine.

KFR officials are also asking the public to keep an eye out for suspicious activity in the city’s natu-ral parks, as fire crews have dealt with several intentionally set fires in recent months.

Scorching September keepswaterpark taps fl owing

Though the late blast of summer may not be good for fire season, it will be welcomed by water lovers.

Due to the hot weather, the city is keeping all water parks open through Sunday, Sept. 11.

Water parks are located at Riverside, McDonald, Albert McGowan and Prince Charles parks and resi-dents are invited to cool off by visiting one of the water spray parks from 11 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

• Meanwhile, the weather will be ideal for the Sunday, Sept. 11, grand opening of the Rayleigh Slo-Pitch Park.

The public is invited to the free event, which will take place between 11 a.m and 3 p.m. at the park on Palmer-Forsythe Road (turn left off Highway 5 about three kilometres past the Rayleigh Petro-Can.

The final resting place for many loved ones in Kamloops is undergoing a bit of a makeover.

For the next six week, work is being done to beautify a portion of Hillside Cemetery, while room is being made for new plots needed in the future.

“It’s going to be a really nice overall improvement to the whole front of the cemetery,” said Nick De Cicco, parks, project and planning supervisor.

The plan is to put a new fence at the entrance of the cemetery and new side-walk along Notre Dame Drive.

The improvements will also clear the way for an additional 300 plots as other parts of the cemetery become full.

The upgraded area has room for a roadway to run right through the mid-

dle, but the city will leave it an open

green space until the locale is needed.

The project has a budget of $100,000

and is expected to be complete by mid-

October.

The cemetery will remain open as

work on the project continues.

The city is also looking at alternative

burial options for the environmentally

conscious heading to the afterlife.

Residents could soon have the option

of what is called a “green burial”,

which involves a more natural type of

resting place.

The idea is to set aside a portion of

the cemetery that wouldn’t be mani-

cured or have headstones.

Instead, it would contain remains

with ashes.

A website devoted to the idea, green-

burials.og, explains the concept:

“Green burial, or natural burial,

ensures the burial site remains as natu-

ral as possible in all respects. Interment

of the bodies is done in a biodegradable

casket, shroud, or a favorite blanket. No

embalming fluid, no concrete vaults.

“It is clear that nature has intended

that our bodies be reunited with the

earth. All organisms that have lived,

have died and returned to the soil, only

to be recycled into new life.

“Constant microbial activity in the

soil breaks everything down. Nature

creates no waste. Everything is recy-

cled.”

De Cicco said the city is consulting

with Victoria, one of several municipal-

ities to offer green burials, to learn how

that community managed the service.

“We like to keep the cemetery cur-

rent and have options available for

people for different ways they’d like to

be remembered by or buried,” he said.

Once complete in mid-October, Hillside Cemetery on Notre Dame Drive will have an improved look — and room for 300 more plots. Dave Eagles/KTW

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

Here are some prevention tips: Pick fruit daily as it ripens or before it ripens if you don't intend to use it. Avoid letting fruit fall on the ground

and rot.Freeze fruit to compost later ratherthan over-loading your compost with fruit.Where bears have been a problem, consider picking all fruit early and let it ripen indoors.Consider donating your fruit to the Kamloops Food Bank if you do not intend to use it.Fruit can also be donated to the BC Wildlife Park.

Call the 24 hour hot line at 1-877-952-7277 to report bear sightings or conflicts.

Until Nov 30th, residents should not put curbside garbage containers out before 4 am and not to accumulate or improperly store bear attractants. Violaters are subject to a $100 fine.

Historic day for law school


[email protected]

As pomp and ceremony marked the start of classes for the first law school in the country in more than a gen-eration, the moment was not lost on the Thompson Rivers University students who will make up the graduating class of 2014.

They are law students like Debra Febril, a Kamloops resident, who is thrilled to get down to work.

“We’re it. People are going to look to us,” the 35-year-old said on Tuesday, Sept. 6.

She added being the first class does add some pressure to do well.

Febril, who took her under-graduate degree at TRU, said she received offers to law schools in the U.S., but liked the idea of a smaller campus in Kamloops.

“This is where my home is,” she said.

Savannah Hamilton was also intrigued by the smaller setting of Kamloops.

The 21-year-old Vancouver native completed her undergraduate degree at the University of British Columbia, but wanted to attend a smaller school with a closer community environ-ment.

“It’s perfect for me and TRU is a great place to be,” Hamilton said, noting there are plenty of other students in the program from Vancouver.

She considered it an hon-our to be part of the inaugural class.

“We are always going to be the first class. It’s a real special occasion,” Hamilton said.

The two future lawyers are part of the first class of 75 stu-dents in TRU’s faculty of law.

There are also 20 fac-ulty members teaching at the school.

A who’s-who of the law community in Kamloops and

around the province turned out to mark the occasion.

It’s the first new law school in the country in 33 years and just the third in B.C.

The list of dignitar-ies included Lance Finch, the province’s chief justice, B.C. Law Society president Gavin Hume, Canadian Bar Association B.C. chapter presi-dent Sharon Matthews and for-mer B.C. attorney general and TRU chancellor Wally Oppal .

All touched on the impor-tance of the new law school, not only for the province, but also for Kamloops and the region.

Leading the ceremony was TRU’s founding dean of law, Chris Axworthy.

The former Saskatchewan MP was chosen last year to head up the school and was as excited as the students for the first day.

Though the school has to compete with law schools in major centres across the country, including UBC and the University of Victoria, Axworthy believes TRU has some advantages.

He said students will have find it easier to meet and speak with lawyers and judges in the Tournament Capital.

The academic program will pay particular attention to legal issues involving energy, natural resources and social and economic challenges facing First Nations communi-ties.

Axworthy said the law school will have a major impact on Kamloops.

“I think the city will change as a result of the law school being here, of course for the better,” he said.

As the first group of law students dives into the books, the school is already looking toward next year.

Axworthy noted there is plenty of interest in the pro-gram, along with demand for law school spots across the province and country.

Sunday, Sept. 11, marks the 10th anni-versary of the terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.

Terrorists flew jetlin-ers into the World Trade Center’s two towers and into the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C.

A third airliner was hijacked and bound for the U.S. capital when terrorists onboard were overpowered by passen-gers. That jet crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pa.

The attacks spurred the invasion of Afghanistan and the continued war there as that country’s Taliban

leadership harboured al-Qaeda head Osama bin Laden, mastermind of the attacks.

The September

11, 2001, tale contin-ued this year with the May 2 death of bin Laden in Pakistan at the hands of U.S.

special-forces soldiers.Kamloops This Week

asked readers for their recollections of that Tuesday morning that has changed the world in so many ways.

We received many submissions, which are presented here.

From a child whose trip to Disneyland was postponed to the call-centre employee fielding a call from a woman cancelling her husband’s credit card — he was a victim of the attacks — the stories are heartfelt and harrowing.

THE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 TERRORIST ATTACKS

10 YEARS LATER

I was five years old and on my way to Disneyland when 9/11 happened.

I was staying at the Travelodge in Vancouver, getting ready to go to Disneyland with my grandma and grandpa and we where just getting ready to leave the room.

My mom phoned and said all airline

flights were cancelled and that I wasn’t going to Disneyland.

She didn’t tell me why. She told us to turn on CTV news and it was 9/11.

Then I started to cry.It was time to leave the hotel and the

lady working the front desk gave me a Travelodge teddy bear to make me

feel better.That’s what I was doing when 9/11 hap-

pened.A month later, when everything settled

down, I was able to fly to Disneyland and have my holiday with my grandparents.

‘This will mean war’ — but with whom?It was Sept. 11, 2001, and I was in

Abbotsford. Why I turned on my television at 6 a.m. that day, I will never know.

The image of a high-rise building exploding and burning appeared. My initial thought was, “Disgusting, violent Hollywood movies.”

However, as the voice of a CBC news-caster arose to describe the scene, I realized the TV images were real, occurring in real time. With shock, I watched the second plane crash into the second tower.

These actions were unimaginable, yet they were happening right before my eyes.

For the rest of the day, I remained glued to my TV set, watching the terrorist-piloted planes crash into the twin towers in New York as CBC ran the tapes over and over. Hearing of the attack on the Pentagon and the plane crash in Pennsylvania filled me with overwhelming alarm

The U.S., Canada’s neighbouring coun-try and the most powerful nation on the planet, had been attacked.

“This will mean war,” I thought, with no idea who the enemy might be.

In the evening, I called a classmate to get her take on the event and was dismayed

when she displayed absolute disinterest.The whole world was changing and she

remained wrapped up in the minutia of her own little world.

Later at college, I observed tense clusters of students watching televisions in several areas where special TV screens had been set up.

Feeling much tension myself, I forced myself to go to my class, then rushed home to watch, over and over, as terrorist planes crashed into the twin towers.

Joy MarionKamloops

Original beauty of New York City skyline is a memoryThey say that anyone living during the

John F. Kennedy era can remember exactly where they were and what they were doing the day he was assassinated.

The same is true for me regarding the events of September 11, 2001.

I was living in Kitimat, in the northwest-ern corner of British Columbia, and working in a pulp-and-paper mill that has since shut down.

As it was my day off, I had the alarm set for 5:30 a.m. and was planning on an early-morning workout at the local gym.

When my alarm/clock radio went off, one of the first things I heard was that a plane had crashed into one of the World Trade Center buildings.

I didn’t think much of it and figured it was just some small private plane that had blown off course or suffered some other type of malfunction.

However, when I got to the gym, it wasn’t very long before the front-desk clerk ran in and hysterically explained a second jet had crashed into the other WTC building.

I realized immediately that two crashes in the same area was too much to be coinci-dence and that it was the work of terrorists.

We ran to the lobby, where a wide-screen TV was located, and watched in amazement as news reporters relayed information that a third plane had likely been intentionally crashed on its way to the Pentagon.

We watched the now-famous footage of the initial crashes.

By the time I heard that a fourth and

fifth plane were involved, my thoughts began to turn to the opinion that the United States and, hence, likely Canada as well, were under attack by some form of military operation.

I finished my workout, but the rest of the day was spent pretty much glued to radio coverage of unfolding events and I was so overwhelmed by the shocking events that I tried to do something by making a donation to the Red Cross.

Thankfully, my Long Island relatives were not physically harmed during the attacks. As for me, I have only pleasant memories of my visit to New York City back in 1997.

I particularly remember the beauty of the city’s skyline as seen from the Statue of Liberty’s crown, replete with the twin towers jutting high above the rest of the structures.

Sadly, that phenomenon will never be seen live by anyone ever again.

THE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 TERRORIST ATTACKS

10 YEARS LATER

On the morning of September 11, 2001, I intended to sleep in a little in preparation for my first shift at a local gas station.

However, I awoke to the sounds of peo-ple in my house attempting to comprehend what they were seeing on the TV.

From that moment, I was glued to the TV as shock and disbelief washed over me as more and more of the news and footage was flooding the channels. There were cer-tainly tears shed by myself and others in my home at the devastation.

Due to it being my first day starting a new job, I managed to prepare and get to the gas station, only to be met by long

lineups of cars.Rumours spreading around town that day

were that gas prices were going to go up astronomically; therefore, people were try-ing to get their tanks filled before the prices shot up.

Thankfully, this was not my first time working in a gas station, so I was given a quick rundown on how the tills worked.

It was non-stop, with extra staff staying late, including the boss.

As each customer came inside, the con-versation of what was happening in New York and the world was ever-evolving, from new information seen or heard on the news

to the already forming theories as to why this was happening.

The lineup of cars waiting for gas did not decrease during nearly 11 hours I was there for my first eight-hour shift, nor did the con-stant barrage of new and repeated informa-tion about what was happening throughout the world stop.

The sheer magnitude of how the attacks affected the world, from the lives lost, trickling all the way down to the effect on how a gas station was run in small-town Kamloops, made it a day I will never forget.

news, but not ready to go to work just yet.I had been hired by a call centre and

Sept. 11, 2001, was my second day.Little did I know that, while working

at a call centre, I would be fielding calls from some of the victims of the disaster that shook so many lives.

Part of my job was to upsell — in other words, upgrade their credit cards.

My job was to understand how they spent their money.

Reality hit home one day when a lady I talked to realized she needed to cancel her husband as an additional card carrier — after I tried to upgrade her to a better card

and she told me her husband was killed in one of the towers.

I felt like I was an inch tall.I didn’t know.Yes, I saw the whole situation on TV —

live.Jeff Wheeldon

It was no joke — and we are no longer invincibleThe attacks happened the same year I

graduated from high school.I was at my family’s cabin in the Cariboo,

which has no telephone or cable connection of any kind.

I remember my dad coming into my room and telling me the United States was under ter-rorist attack.

I didn’t believe him.I thought he was playing a joke on me. I rolled my eyes and said, ‘Yeah, right” in

perfect teenage fashion, but the look on his face was not one of humour and I realized he was serious.

We all went into the living area and sat lis-tening to an old radio — the only form of com-

munication we had — in shock and disbelief.I was frightened, thinking how things like

this just don’t happen in North America.But, now we know it can and it did happen.

We have all become much more aware and not quite so invincible.

An occasion for which Sept. 11 will be celebratedI would like to share a story that has

changed the date, September 11, for me forever.

I remember where I was and I remember exactly what I was doing on that fateful day in 2001.

That is not the memory that I wish to share. Not since Nov. 11 has an event been so strongly associated with the date on which it happened.

Who can recall the date of the Oklahoma City bombing or the tsunami that raged in southeast Asia?

But, we very clearly remember the date on which our neighbours to the south (and

ourselves) were faced with our own mortal-ity.

Sept. 11, 2010 will forever mean some-thing different.

On Sept. 10, 2010, I began to labour. I went to Royal Inland Hospital and was

assured I would see a baby by the next day. I was shocked, since my due date was

not until Oct. 5. Would this child be OK? Would I be OK?

I am embarrassed to admit my mind was still in the meeting I had just left and the upcoming projects assigned to me.

I figured I was just over-excited or stressed about trying to train my replace-

ment for work.My thoughts immediately turned to this

poor child, who was quite probably to be born on Sept. 11. What a terrible birthday! I actually said this to the nurse.

After hours of careful monitoring of this poor little person, a beautiful baby girl was delivered without any major complication.

On Sept. 11, 2011, my family will be celebrating the first birthday of our amazing daughter, Hadley.

She is the most wonderful thing to ever happen on any day, especially Sept. 11.

Campbell’s Order of B.C. really should wait

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

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKVIEWPOINT

Timing is everything and the decision to award former B.C. premier Gordon Campbell the Order of B.C. now, rather than sometime down the road when one can look at his legacy in more historic terms, is ridiculous and makes no sense at all.

What was the committee think-ing?

It’s been only days since one of the former premier’s unfortu-

nate legacies, the HST, went down to defeat after it already cost him his job and quite pos-

sibly his party’s grip on power come the next election.

The committee wants to give him the province’s highest award while the HST fiasco, which will cost us untold millions once it’s reversed, is fresh in everyone’s minds?

Yikes. It’s no wonder there are online protests and petitions gath-ering steam in cyberspace.

Especially when you consider previous premiers Dave Barrett and Mike Harcourt have never received the honour and longtime B.C. leader Bill Bennett only got his two decades after he left office.

Certainly Campbell’s legacy includes the 2010 Olympic Winter Games that were a huge success, a fairly tight grip on the provincial economy and years of service as the mayor of the prov-ince’s biggest city.

His lengthy record of public service deserves consideration for the Order of B.C. — but later, when his record can be looked at with some semblance of sober second thought.

Not now, when the sting of the HST is too much in our minds and when, in reality, his original mandate to govern as premier hasn’t even ended yet.

In fact, there’s some debate whether a sitting politician up until March of this year is even eligible to receive this honour.

We can disagree while being impressed with democracyI

N 2002, SOME FRIENDS who were dead-set against construction of the water-treatment plant decid-ed to do something about it.

They took advantage of the city’s counter-petition option and set out to get signatures.

I watched as they went out making their case and trying to get 40 signa-tures a day to stop the $69.5-million plant the city had decided to build after being ordered by the Interior Health Authority to improve water quality.

The group spearheading the move, which one of its organizers called “a rag-tag group with no money, very little organization” eventually had 1,659 names on the petitions.

They needed 2,276 names, five per cent of the electorate.

Even though two of my friends were the driving force behind the move, I didn’t sign their counter-petition for one simple reason.

I didn’t agree with them.In fact, it seemed ludicrous to me

that the city I had moved to just a couple of years before didn’t have such a facility. It seemed like a no-brainer.

But, then, I also grew up with water meters in the houses my family lived in and had been using a blue recycling box, supplied by the city, for years back in Ontario.

I supported my friends, though, because what they were doing was a vital part of democracy.

They were also disagreeing with a decision.

When the final tally was announced, one of the organizers said they had “kicked the can as hard as we could.”

They felt like they hadn’t succeeded,

but what they did accomplish was to encourage discussion on the city’s deci-sion to build the plant that now sits on Lorne Street.

In fact, two of the people involved in the process later ran for city council, one for councillor and one for mayor.

Again, neither was successful — but the democratic process benefited from their willingness to stand up and be counted.

Now, we’re being asked to sign another counter-petition, this one to force city council to reconsider its plan to build a parkade in Riverside Park.

The threshold is different now; the group behind it needs to get 10 per cent of the electorate — the province changed the requirement in 2004 — which is about 6,533 signatures.

The goal is to get 1,400 signatures a week to meet the target in the 30-day period they have to promote the cause.

The first week, the group fell a bit short, with just about 1,100 people signing the document, but that hasn’t deterred them from carrying on.

There were many reasons why it may have been short of the goal — end of summer, long weekend, people too busy getting ready to send their kids

back to school, among others.It’s interesting to note, though, that

in its first week, this counter-petition got just about 500 signatures fewer than the 2002 one got in its entire 30-day period.

Why is that?It could be for several reasons, but

I’m betting there’s one overriding issue for people, beyond the fact council wants to build this bunker in green space.

In 2002, all the facts were on the table. Everyone knew exactly what was planned and why.

This time, though, the information hasn’t ever really been just put out there for everyone.

I’ll give you an example. I just recently learned plans for

the parkade do not include ramping between the two — and, perhaps, even-tually three — levels.

Each will have its own entrance, the lower level from around the area where the current parking lot sits, the upper level from somewhere in alignment with Second Avenue.

Now, let’s throw in another real-ity that hasn’t been discussed much in terms of the parkade: The new hotel.

It’s going to generate traffic, too. Add the roundabout the city plans to

put at the intersection of Lorne Street and Third Avenue and traffic’s starting to look a little crazy in your mind, isn’t it?

Imagine it on a Kamloops Blazers game night.

People are using democracy to stop a parkade; there is no democracy when you are trying to get out of your park-ing spot after a game.

Re: Back to school: Now what?:

“Teachers are mis-treated?

“That is very humourous for a group of employees that doesn’t even have per-formance management or any evaluations or even feedback given to them in regards to their performance at work.

“It’s the only occu-pation I know of that have no accountability whatsoever and no eval-uations required in its collective agreement.

“Their standards of conduct are actually written by teachers and investigations are done by retired principals!

“When are they going to enter into the real world of workers?

Mistreated? No.Under appreciated?

Possibly.Teachers put a lot of

hard work, caring and effort into their job and I appreciate it, as I do of others who provide services to us.”

“Thirty students, 60 parents and one prin-cipal who can walk in and evaluate any time they want without notice, plus the school board.

“Trust me when I say teachers are con-stantly evaluated on a daily basis — inside and outside the work-place. It is a very public job.”

Editor:Re: Christopher Foulds’

column of Sept. 6 (‘Word up! And down. Gibberish now joins the King’s English’):

I, too, have a copy of the Canadian Oxford Dictionary on my desk, but mine is next to my computer, so I don’t even have to get up to open it.

I still find a hand-held dictionary appealing, not only for what you can dis-cover quite by accident, but also because it represents centuries of knowledge dis-tilled into a relatively small volume.

The simple act of open-ing up a dictionary can automatically instill in the user a respect for what has gone before in the history of humankind, including the impressive fact some people continue to want to become teachers, regardless of how very little respect today’s society demonstrates for teachers or for a proper edu-cation.

Incidentally, for some years, certain students who went to Valleyview secondary took Richard III in English 11, so they learned about the Princes in the Tower while they were still in school.

Many remain in Kamloops. They tell me how glad they are that they had me (or Mr. Donald before me) for English 11.

From Shakespeare, they learned even a king can be crooked, the printed word sometimes lies and society (and language) is constantly evolving.

To my knowledge, none of them called me a “dud” for eating my lunch during my lunch break.

Editor:Why are we so afraid of

grassland fires?They are nature’s way of

revitalizing and rejuvenating our dry ecosystems.

Look at the lush new growth after a fire and think of the reduced fire hazard in those

areas, which lasts for many years.

Given the high fuel loads in our valleys, when a grass fire starts, why don’t we dispatch our crews to protect people and property and let the fire burn to those lines?

Mother Nature will reduce

the hazard and provide wildlife with fresh forage.

Perhaps we should look at a more proactive grassland haz-ard-reduction program during the spring, when we have some influence over conditions.

Tom RankinKamloops

Why not let some fi res burn?

Editor:So far in Kamloops, at

least one person has realized her symptoms were caused by radiation from wireless meters (‘Meter made for malady,’ Sept. 1).

Across North America, there are thousands of people who have complained of neurologi-cal and immunological symp-toms caused by smart meters.

These people may suffer a physiological condition called electrohypersensitivity (EHS).

EHS is accepted as a func-

tional impairment in Sweden and the Canadian Human Rights Commission recognizes it as an environmental sensitiv-ity, classifying it as a disability.

People with EHS, as well as people who wish to avoid the known cancer risk, have the freedom to limit cellphone use or choose a wired computer connection, but wireless utility meters take away the choice to manage radiation exposure even in our own home.

In the U.S., reports of medi-cal problems and massive pub-

lic protest have forced many utilities to offer customers the choice to opt out of the smart meter program.

In B.C., so far about a dozen municipalities or regional dis-tricts have written letters to the Minister of Health, asking for a moratorium on smart meters in light of growing evidence of health problems.

When it comes to wireless meters, the alarm bells are already ringing.

Walsh and Spina should sign petitionEditor:

At first, I could not believe what I was reading when I viewed the headline Opposed to Parkade, but will not sign in the Oct. 6 edition of KTW.

I initially thought it might be because councillors Denis Walsh and Marg Spina were not allowed to sign due to a conflict of interest, but that is not the case.

Therefore I am completely astonished that Spina and especially Walsh have decid-ed not to take a firm stance by not wanting to sign the counter-petition opposing the Lorne Street parkade.

Not only did I think they would sign it, but I thought their signatures would be the first ones on the petition.

I truly hope these two fine Kamloops councillors change

their minds on this, since we elected them in the hope they would lead and feel strongly enough in their convictions to show more then just rhetoric in council chambers.

They need to stand up and be counted, like the rest of us, as we need their unwaver-ing show of support.

John Vermilyea

Kamloops

After wedding bliss, please clean up the messEditor:

To Ben and Brittany, who were married some time in the last four weeks somewhere in the east end of Kamloops:

As I walk daily, I am reminded of your special day.

The signs are everywhere in a kilometre stretch.

The signs are not only for Ben and Brittany’s special day, but for many other happy couples who have tied the knot out that way.

The signs are nice when they are first erected but, as the months and years go by, they start to fall apart and end up as

garbage in the ditch on the side of the road.

I wish all these couples the best in their marriages.

Hopefully, their unions will not end up like the signs in the ditch.

It might only be the first week, but the group behind a counter-petition to stop the Lorne Street parkade is fairly pleased with the response so far.

Friends of Riverside Park, the group leading the counter-petition against the controversial parkade, collected 1,100 sig-natures in the first week of its campaign.

Group member Bob Gamble said the goal is to get about 1,400 signatures a week.

“Considering it was our first week, the response has been wonderful, actually,” he told KTW.

The group has managed to get the petition on the front counter of several local busi-nesses.

In the weeks ahead, members plan to take the document to all three farmers’ markets — the Wednesday and Saturday market in downtown Kamloops and the North Shore Farmers’ Market on Fridays.

Although the group is calling the first week of the campaign a success, Gamble acknowledged

the petition’s biggest enemy is time.

He’s still confident the group can reach its goal.

“We feel pretty good,” he said.

On Aug. 30, council gave the final approval to a bylaw to borrow $8 million to build the parkade, triggering the alterna-tive-approval process.

Opponents have until Oct. 11 to gather 10 per cent of the elec-torate’s signatures, forcing coun-cil to drop the project or send it to referendum.

The group will need to collect 6,533 signatures to be success-ful.

Gamble noted there are about 125 people who have offered to help volunteer and

gather signatures.The drive began on Aug. 31

at the final Music in the Park event of the summer.

The Kamloops Voters Society and the Council of Canadians Kamloops Chapter are also try-ing to put together a debate on the parkade issue in the coming weeks.

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

The structure is estimated to cost $7.8 million, with the proj-ect expected to go to tender in late December.

For more information on the petition, contact Gamble at 250-377-4026.

Cyclists — experienced or novice, young or old — will head to Riverside Park on Sunday, Sept. 11 for the 16th annual RONA MS Bike Tour.

A pair of Kamloops groups and an individual have been given a help-ing hand from Ottawa to take part in the envi-ronmental-assessment process for the proposed Ajax mine south of Aberdeen.

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) has given $32,225 to three appli-cants to support partici-pation in the process.

The three recipi-ents are the Grasslands Conservation Council of B.C., on behalf of the Kamloops Naturalist Club and Kamloops District Fish and Game Association, the Kamloops Area Preservation Association (KAPA) and Susan McGillivray.

The grasslands council gets $18,700, while the KAPA was awarded $11,950, with the final $1,575 going to McGillivray.

The funding is intended to support pub-lic participation in the study process.

The committee, which allocates the money independently of the environmental-assessment process, received funding requests of $73,363.

A total of $50,000 was available through the program.

KTW was unable to reach the grasslands council or the KAPA for comment on what the groups intend to do with the money.

The KAPA has been openly opposed to the mine and has created a website at stopajaxmine.ca.

According to the CEAA’s funding review committee report, appli-cants must meet one of the eligibility criteria, which include having a direct, local interest in the project, such as liv-ing or owning property in the area; having com-munity or aboriginal traditional knowledge relevant to the assess-ment; or providing expert information rel-evant to the anticipated environmental effects of the mine.

Last month, KGHM Ajax and Abacus Mining and Exploration Corp. set up an office at 330

Seymour St., to provide residents with informa-tion about the project.

Located within

the City of Kamloops boundaries and two kilometres from a pair of Aberdeen elementary

schools, the Ajax mine operation would stretch west to the Coquihalla Highway and is part of

the old Afton Mine site.The mine is expected

to produce about 50,000 tons of copper and

100,000 ounces of gold per year for the life of operation, which is pre-dicted to be 23 years.

COVER PAGE STORY

“Every firefighter that wasn’t there already wanted to do something to help out,” Moroz said.

“There’s 16 acres on that site and, when I got there, there were still buildings on fire — smoking and smoulder-ing.

“There was ash fall-ing. I remember it was a warm day, but it was like

it was snowing because

of the ash.”

Moroz said the

gratitude of firefighters

in New York was some-

thing he’ll never forget.

“I met a lot of people

— a lot of New York

firemen that appreci-

ated what everyone was

doing,” he said.

“There’s a very

strong sense of commit-

ment we have to each

other. We have a job that puts us in danger all the time and we have a strong support network because of that.”

Moroz worked at Ground Zero for three weeks.

A year later, he returned to New York with a KFR contingent for the one-year anni-versary of the attacks on the World Trade Center, in which 343 firefighters and paramedics were killed.

As mementos of his connection with the aftermath of the attacks, Moroz has held onto a collection of bolts from the rubble at the Ground Zero site and a flag from the ceremony marking the one-year anniversary of the incident.

This weekend, he said, KFR has organized

a private memorial cer-emony for the city’s first responders.

“We’ve invited the

police and ambulance paramedics and we’re going to have some of our family just to have

a memorial to mark the 10th anniversary,” he said.

“Just get together and

remember what hap-pened.”

The ceremony is not be open to the public.

Flag, bolts serve as memories of New York visit

This is the scene that greeted Kamloops Fire Rescue Chief Neill Moroz when he arrived in New York City on Sept. 19, 2011.

LOCAL VIEWS

IT IS DIFFICULT to watch the 10th anniversary of the World Trade

Center attacks approach and fail to mention the event in a column that educates the public about mental health.

One of the most sig-

nificant consequences of

that day was the impact

it had on mental health

— individually, col-

lectively, nationally and

internationally.

Canadian troops

are still fighting in

Afghanistan, creating a

form of continued trau-

ma for the country, but

even more so for those

soldiers and the families

who worry about them.

We know more today

than back then about

how to respond to the

emotional casualties of

large-scale tragedies.

Here is what we

have learned in the last

decade:

• There is no single

“right” way to respond:

Help needs to be indi-

vidually tailored to the event, to the situation

and to the people receiv-ing it.

Some need to talk, but many find rehashing the experience only fur-ther traumatizes them.

For example, re-broadcasting the col-lapsing towers on TV may have intensified mental distress for many people. Each person has a unique response to trauma and a unique capacity to recover.

• If you cannot help, at least do not hurt:

For example, critical-incident stress debrief-ing, which was once common in the wake of large tragedies, is now seen not only to be ineffective in reducing trauma, it is widely held that it makes the trauma worse.

The method was developed and became popular in the 1980s with firefighters but, by the end of the 1990s,

researchers found a single debriefing ses-sion did not reduce the risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

In fact, it appeared to increase the incidence of psychological distress in some cases.

• Typical group therapy regimens can backfire: Common sense would say providing group support and reas-surance and teaching coping skills and relax-ation techniques would be helpful to all trauma victims, but research shows when people are required to go over trau-matic events when they might not have done so otherwise, it can increase symptoms of PTSD.

• When the disaster goes away the need for support stays: Once the crisis passes and the media is no longer interested, neither are

the “helpers” who were clamouring to come to the aid of the afflicted.

Once reality has re-registered and people have to return to a sem-blance of their regular lives, it can be difficult for many to cope.

Needs are great, but resources are often lim-ited.

All of this led one psychiatrist to say, “Given what we know about large-scale attempts to provide mental-health services, perhaps more of those resources should be set aside for later. It may sound less dramatic, but it may be more benefi-cial.”

So, while you are reading Kamloops This Week’s features about the Sept. 11, 2001, disaster of a decade ago, use the opportunity to reflect on how our lives have been changed: Our privacy, our air travel and our loved ones in harm’s

way overseas.We can find many

things to be grateful for in the wake of that trag-edy — for example, ter-rorists have been unable to mount anything like it since — and celebrate that we live in a caring, supportive community, province and country.

Demonstrate your celebration by showing

a little gratitude to the people working in the professions that were most devastated 10 years ago: Military, police, fire, ambulance and hos-pital personnel.

It would certainly be appropriate to show a little love to a journalist, too.

They are often the forgotten victims of

vicarious emotional trauma — not just at the big disasters, but also at the personal one-on-one tragedies that happen in every city every day.

Write to us at [email protected] if you have a question or comment that you would like us to consider. Your

views are important to us.

GLOBAL VIEWS

The strategy behind the attacksW

RITING recently in the Wash-

ington Post, Brian Michael Jenkins, a senior adviser at the Rand Corporation think tank, claimed the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks were not a strategic success for al-Qaeda.

He’s right.Osama bin Laden’s

strategy did fail in the end — but not for the reason Jenkins believes.

Jenkins argued that bin Laden believed the U.S. was a paper tiger because it had no stomach for casualties.

Kill enough Americans and the United States would pull out of the Middle East, leaving the field free for al-Qaeda’s project of overthrow-ing all the secular Arab regimes and imposing Islamist rule on every-body.

In bin Laden’s 1996 fatwa declaring war on America, Jenkins pointed out, bin Laden claimed the U.S. would flee the region if attacked seriously

Indeed, bin Laden gave as examples the rapid U.S. mili-tary withdrawal from Lebanon after the bombing of the marine barracks in Beirut in 1983, and the equally rapid retreat of American forces from Somalia in 1993 after 18 U.S. soldiers were killed in Mogadishu.

Other al-Qaeda

commanders disagreed, Jenkins said, warning that the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks would enrage the United States and “focus its fury on the terrorist group and its allies, but bin Laden pushed ahead. When the United States did [invade Afghanistan], bin Laden switched gears, claiming that he had intended all along to provoke the United States into waging a war that would galvan-ise all of Islam against it.”

Jenkins is quite explicitly, saying bin Laden never real-ized the United States would respond vio-lently when his organi-zation murdered thou-sands of Americans.

He would have been dismayed when the U.S. invaded Afghanistan and destroyed his training camps.

Therefore, the

think-tank expert concludes, the United States did not fall into a trap bin Laden had deliberately laid for it when it invaded Afghanistan.

Well, that’s one point of view.

Here’s another. Bin Laden was

fully aware the United States would invade Afghanistan in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and he wanted it to do so.

He believed the U.S. would then get mired in a long and bloody guerilla war in Afghanistan, a replay of the war against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s, in which bin Laden himself had first risen to prominence.

Military command-ers are always planning to re-fight the last war and terrorist command-ers are no different.

Bin Laden hoped a

protracted guerilla war in Afghanistan, with American troops kill-ing lots of Muslims, would indeed galvanize all of Islam against the United States.

So, why didn’t bin Laden say that before-hand?

Why did he claim the United States would flee screaming at the first atrocity, if he really expected it to invade Afghanistan?

Because revolu-tionaries who resort to terrorism always talk freely about their goals, but they never publicly discuss their strategy for achieving them.

They can’t, because the strategy is so pro-foundly callous and cynical.

Terrorists generally have rational political goals — usually a rev-olution of some kind.

In bin Laden’s case, he wanted Islamist revolutions across the Muslim world, but he had been notably unsuccessful in whip-ping up popular support for such revolutions.

So, how could he build that support?

Well, how about lur-ing the United States into invading a Muslim country?

Revolutionary groups often resort to terrorism if they think they lack popular sup-port.

Their aim is to trick their much more pow-erful opponent (usu-ally a government) into doing terrible things that will alienate the population and drive it into their arms.

It’s the political equivalent of jiu-jitsu.

They are trying to bring horror and death down on the population by triggering a govern-ment crackdown or a foreign occupation, in the hope it will radi-calize people and turn them into supporters of the terrorists’ political project.

But, the people they seek to manipulate must believe it was the oppressors or the for-eign occupiers, not the terrorists, who pulled the trigger.

That’s why bin Laden lied about his strategy.

He probably didn’t even warn his Taliban hosts in Afghanistan he was planning the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, because they would not have welcomed the prospect of being driven from power and having to fight another

10-year guerilla war against another invading superpower.

Bin Laden’s strategy was not original with him.

He had been fight-ing as a guerilla and as a terrorist leader for 15 years by the time of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and people of this sort have always read all the standard texts on their chosen trade.

The notion of using the opponent’s strength against him absolutely permeates the how-to books on guerilla war and terrorism, from Mao Zedong to Carlos Marighella.

So, bin Laden dug a trap and the United States fell into it.

In that sense, his strategy succeeded and the guerilla war that ensued in Afghanistan did much to turn Arab and Muslim popular opinion against America.

(The invasion of Iraq did even more damage to America’s reputation, but that really wasn’t about terrorism at all.)

In the long run, however, bin Laden’s strategy failed, simply because his project was unacceptable and implausible to most Muslims.

The most decisive rejection of his strategy is the fact the oppressive old Arab regimes are now being overthrown, for the most part non-violently, by revolution-aries who want democ-racy and freedom, not Islamist rule.

independent journalist whose articles appear

Muslims rejected bin Laden’s visionFrom A21

“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.

THE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 TERRORIST ATTACKS 10 YEARS LATER

In 2001, I had been working in Asia for some years.

On Sept. 8, 2001 my son flew out from Canada to visit me and, on Sept. 9, we flew to Phuket, Thailand, for a week’s holiday.

Sept. 11 was spent on the beach, swimming and kayaking.

We returned to our hotel in the early evening and watched the

events unfold on television in my hotel room.

Due to the time difference with New York, we were up all night, watching with horror.

In the morning, we went down to the hotel lobby and discovered all the American tourists had gone.

Where they went, I have no idea, as we also discovered all

flights out of Thailand had been cancelled.

The normally crowded streets were virtually empty, with only a few people about.

A few days later, flights were again operating and we were able to leave.

David ClarkKamloops

Watching the horror from across the globe

It was a day like any other. We were frantically getting

ready for work and school. Sounds of activity percolated

through the house.The children talked excitedly

on that clear, blue-sky day, looking forward to school.

The radio, as always, was play-ing in the background.

The atmosphere changed suddenly with the tone of the announcer’s voice.

“Go turn the TV on. Something’s happening”, my wife said.

We could hear the worry in her voice.

One of the children complied as I descended the stairs, resenting this intrusion into my preparations for the work day.

I turned into the room just in

time to see one of the monoliths crumble.

I sank into a chair and watched, transfixed, frozen with fear and disbelief.

My mind reeled back in time to Nov. 22, 1963, the day after my 13th birthday. I came home from school, which had been cancelled for the day, to find my mother weeping on the chesterfield.

The Electrolux vacuum cleaner was whining away in front of her, inert and motionless.

I stood and watched the new black-and-white TV. On that fate-ful day, it had been only one man assassinated in our living rooms, yet it changed the world.

It was the end of an era of innocence and hope. I went to my mom and comforted her. I began crying myself.

We sat there, hugging each other as the scenes flashed over and over again, crying, sobbing, grieving the loss of a good man.

Thirty-eight years later, on Sept. 11, 2001, I watched the images and felt sick.

I stared, frozen, as a man flung himself from the burning tower, escaping one certain death to meet another.

I felt his terror in the pit of my stomach.

The four of us watched silently.I’d had enough. I turned to

leave. “This changes the world as we

know it”, I mumbled.“Not in front of the kids,” my

wife whispered. “Not in front of the kids.”

Credit Score and Home Buying Part IDoes living a debt-free lifestyle make you the best candidate for a mortgage?

You manage your money well and you purchase only what you can pay cash for. You have no credit cards or loans of any kind! You must be what every lender dreams of when it comes to obtaining a mortgage, right? Well, not so fast… Let’s take a look at one of the key aspects of lending: your credit score.

When applying for a mortgage, your credit score weighs heavily when it comes to the mortgage rates you will be offered, the lenders who will work with you or whether you will be denied in your search for a loan. In essence, it can make or break your mortgage application. By defi nition, a credit score is simply a measure of your proven habits of repaying debt. For that reason, you must repay something to have a positive score, like credit card payments, car payments and small bank loans to name a few. People who do not have or use credit cards and insist on paying cash for everything are often surprised when they are refused for a mortgage because they believe their habit of paying cash should refl ect “good credit”. Credit scores are rated on a point system, ranging from 0 (no credit), to a maximum of 900 (perfect credit), with the general minimum credit needed for a mortgage sitting at around 600 points. A person who pays cash for all things will likely have a 0 credit score because they have zero history of repaying debt.

So what does this mean to a fi rst time homebuyer? Do your credit card repayment patterns reveal good things about you? As a rule of thumb, a person should use two credit cards regularly and pay them off each month to build a positive credit score. A repayment for a bill as little as $10 will build your score and produce a proven habit of repaying debt.

There are two major credit score suppliers in Canada: Equifax and Transunion. Each has a credit education center for those who would like to do further reading:

www.equifax.com/home/en ca • www.transunion.ca

Equifax offers a free mailed copy of your credit report at www.equifax.com/contact_us/en_ca.

Both these links are found under resources on my website www.mortgagebuilder.ca.

Look for Mortgage Matters “Credit Score and Home Buying Part II” when I will examine several factors that lower credit score and boost credit score for those looking to maximize their score prior to a home purchase.

The last time my husband and I went on a real vacation, terrorists attacked. Here is what we experienced and remember:

Our hotel the night before Sept. 11, 2001, was north of Los Angeles.

We got up early that tragic morning to make our way up the beautiful Pacific Coast.

I turned the TV on while my hubby was in the shower.

As the planes hit in New York City, I watched the coverage as it came in. At first, I thought I was watching a movie play out, but it became quickly evident it was reality.

Being on leave from our military base in Cold Lake Alta., we quickly dressed and left for home. Our unit, an airbase, was already in full mobilization.

We streamed the news broadcasts from our rented Mustang. It was unreal as we drove north, listening to the United States react in disbelief and its government announce the heightening level of defence throughout the day.

Emergency personnel were everywhere because we were so close to Los Angeles.

We later learned they locked everything down in fear the city was also a target. We just got out in time.

As we drove through the great redwood forest, I took photos out of our car window and another motorist reacted to the flash of the camera. They were afraid it was muzzle flash and we were going to shoot them.

They were afraid and on edge.Gas stations were only open where

people had not been aware the attacks had occurred, mostly in rural towns. Luckily, we had enough gas to reach the Canadian border.

When we heard the Pentagon had been hit, my heart sank. I had a friend who worked there as a chief operations tactical manager.

I immediately took the time to try to

locate her.

Phone lines were very busy, but I man-

aged to get her husband. Her office took a

direct hit from the plane, but she was not in

it because, at the last moment, she decided

to attend a briefing instead of following her

usual routine.

Relieved, we continued the trip home.

The closer we got to the Canadian bor-

der, it became extraordinary. The traffic

was almost nothing.

Driving America’s main freeways when

they are empty is eerie. It seemed the entire

country had closed down.

Passing through Seattle at 2:30 in the

morning, we saw the most interesting thing.

The freeway passes right by Sea-Tac

Airport. On the tarmac were airplanes. I

don’t mean a few — I mean the entire tar-

mac was covered by large airplanes.The airspace was closed quickly after

the attacks and major airports became park-ing lots.

What a sight.When we finally reached the border,

running on fumes, it was closed. We were confronted by armed guards. I explained our situation and recall to our military base, but they were skeptical until we presented our Department of National Defence iden-tification.

The second we crossed the border into Canada, we both let out a collective sigh.

Although we had travelled all day, the last few feet into our beloved Canada was the most important. We felt safe and sure of ourselves again.

The heightened sense of fear felt by a collective nation and the world pressed on us as we travelled home but, when we crossed the border, it was relief.

We found a gas station open as usual. Nothing had changed north of the border. We finished driving to Kamloops

through the night.We hadn’t slept in over 24 hours. My parents greeted us in their home in

Aberdeen. We had breakfast and watched the shocking images from the day before.

The world had changed in an instant. Afghanistan was our new location for which to train. We were now participants in the war against terror.

In the 10 years since, the impact of that day and the events that followed have left an impression on us.

We cannot explain the grief we have felt for lost and injured colleagues; however, we have been continually comforted by the actions of Canadians following the events of Sept. 11, 2001.

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.

JOSEPH FINN 1929-2011

With great sadness, the family and friends of Joe announce his

passing on September 3rd. His fi nal evening was spent with family and friends in true Irish style.

Survived by his wife, Rita; the couple was just short of their 60th anniversary. Joe will be missed by his

daughters Jody and Debbi; granddaughters Christy and

Quinn; great-granddaughter Elise. Also by his two younger brothers,

Glen and Wink and their families and numerous relatives and friends in both the Finn and Pollock families. Joe was predeceased by his sister Colleen Jensen.

Joe’s eighty two years were full of jokes, travels and family. He had a long and accomplished career with the Provincial Government in both BC and the Yukon. Many memories were made hunting, fi shing and boating in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and BC. Joe was a life member of the Elks and was designated a Master Mason in Victoria in 1984. A highlight of his Shriner’s involvement was acting as Secretary from 1994 to 2008.

Thank you to Berwick on the Park and Dr. Stefanyk for the past three years of kindness and support.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday Sept 9, commencing at 1 pm at Schoening’s Funeral Services.

In lieu of fl owers, donations are accepted at Gizeh Shrine Center, Shriner’s Childrens Hospital Fund, 3550 Wayburne Drive, Burnaby, BC V5G 3K9; 1-800-661-5437.

RON EVANS

HUTCHINSONOn Friday, September 2nd, 2011 Raymond Hutchinson passed away peacefully at Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops, BC at the age of 60 years.

Ray is survived by his loving mom Ruby and siblings: Gerry (Donna), Gordon, Shirley McKee (Ron Byer), Ron, Laurie (Mary) and Louise as well as numerous nieces, nephews and grand nieces & nephews that he loved so much. He was predeceased by his father Joe in 1997.

Ray was a “trainman”, having worked for CN for 35 years, until his retirement. Ray followed his boyhood dream and started working for the railroad (in Jasper) when he was just 19 years old.

He loved trains and never grew tired of talking about them.

Ray was born in Ranfurly, Alberta where he learned to become an avid curler, an activity that he took part in competitively for many years in Vancouver and Kamloops. He was also involved with his union and was a Past President of the NDP in Kamloops.

He became enamoured with Thailand, its culture and ways, returning to Thailand on vacation every year for a decade and willingly shared his extensive travel knowledge with others. Sadly, Ray died before realizing his dream of building a home on stilts in Thailand.

Ray’s family would like to extend heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Dr. Boris Gimbarzevsky and Dr. Julio Montaner for the special care, dedication and compassion that they showed to Ray.

We also want to graciously thank the Royal Inland Hospital staff and all of Ray’s friends, neighbours and everyone who helped him as he struggled with his health. Ray’s friends were absolutely invaluable to him and made it possible for him to continue living in this community that he loved so much.

A celebration of Ray’s life will be held in Ranfurly, Alberta on Saturday, September 17 at 2pm.

Should friends desire, donations can be made to the Children’s Wish Foundation.

We seldom ask for miracles,But today just one would do.To have the back door open,And see you walking through.

A million times we've missed you,A million times we've cried;

If love could have saved you,You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,In death we love you still,

In our hearts you hold a memory,That no one else can fi ll.

Always and foreverYour Memory and Spirit will be with us.

Our love,Lynn, Shai, Lizz & Kellie Girl

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

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

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

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

Hoping for a Crosby comeback

SIDNEY CROSBY IS showing up on our TV sets

every couple of hours, selling skates and sticks for Sportchek — per-sonally, I prefer ‘Croz’ over Sid’s choice, ‘SC87’— but the big question is this: Will Sidney show up in the Pittsburgh Penguins lineup during the 2011-12 National Hockey League season?

When we last saw the best hockey player in the world, he was skating groggily off the ice after get-ting smashed into the end boards in a game against Tampa Bay, five days after getting his bell rung with an elbow to the head in the Jan. 1 Winter Classic out-door game against the Washington Capitals.

The “upper body injury” turned into a season-ending concus-sion and it doomed the Penguins’ Stanley Cup playoff hopes.

Hockey fans can only hope it didn’t doom Crosby’s career.

The Kamloops 2011 Crown of Curling is still more than six weeks away, but already organizers say the slate of teams is filling out nicely.

“This event is the longest-running curling event, we think, in Canada,” said bonspiel chairman Len Bosch.

“This is a long-time event and we want it to get better and continue.”

In its 38th year, the Crown of Curling is scheduled to run from Oct. 21 to Oct. 24 at the Kamloops Curling Club.

Bosch said the 2011 Crown will feature 48 teams — 24 men’s and 24 women’s.

The women’s side is already booked full, while 16 men’s teams have so far signed up.

The event is part of the World Curling Tour, which means prize money earned goes toward the over-all points for the trials for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.

On top of that, Bosch said, it’s a bonspiel curlers enjoy.

“It’s really an event that a lot of curlers want to come here and curl,” he said, explaining the “social aspect” is almost as important as the on-ice competition.

“They really, really like it.”That is evident by the teams

signed up for the 2011 Crown

— including international rinks from Russia, South Korea, Japan, Switzerland and China.

“This is really starting to get some international flavour,” Bosch said.

“They come here because this is the start of their competitive curling season.”

There are also expected to be a number of local curlers taking part — including Brian Windsor, who is a director with the Kamloops Curling Club.

He said the Crown is the club’s biggest event of the year.

“It’s huge traffic for the club because you’ve got 48 clubs and supporters,” he said, adding the bar

and kitchen will likely do well dur-ing the event.

“That’s a lot of people for a club this size.”

Windsor said curlers love the Crown.

“It has a great reputation,” he said. “The curlers like that it’s both men’s and ladies.

“There’s lots of serious competi-tion and they’re trying to gain points for the Olympics, but there’s lots of fun, too.”

Bosch said organizers are still looking for a title sponsor and vol-unteers.

Anyone looking for more infor-mation can call the Kamloops Curling Club at 250-372-5432. See CAREER A31

“Looking forward to getting started” is how Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s soccer co-head coach Sean Wallace is describing this weekend.

The WolfPack begin the 2011 B.C. College Athletic Association regular season with matches on the road in Surrey on Saturday, Sept.

10, against the Kwantlen Polytechnic Eagles and on Sunday, Sept. 11, in New Westminster against the Douglas College Royals.

“After three weeks of training and exhibition matches, we are ready to go,” Wallace said.

“They have worked hard and are looking for some positive results, hopefully starting this weekend.”

The WolfPack are

looking to improve upon their second-place standing in the BCCAA Group A.

In 2010, they had a record of 7-1-3, which put TRU eight points behind division winners Douglas.

Wallace is expecting the Royals to be very strong again this year.

“Douglas is the odds-on favourite again to win the whole league. They have recruited aggres-sively again this year and have brought in an old vet like all-Canadian Jag Gill and a new recruit in Bobby Jhutty of the Vancouver Whitecap resi-dency program,” Wallace said.

“They will definitely be the team to beat this year and the first week-end will be a good test to see how we match up against them early.”

In Kwantlen, the WolfPack are facing a team that went winless in 2010.

“Kwantlen will prob-ably be a young team again this year,” Wallace said.

“I have heard that an ex-SFU Clan player will be playing with them and they should attract some better quality players this year. They will be tough

and not a team to take lightly.”

The WolfPack are coming off a pre-season in which they played tougher opponents (CIS and NCAA Division II squads), dropping all four matches.

Wallace and his coaching staff are confi-dent their roster is solid, especially down the middle, and starting the year away from Hillside Stadium won’t be a prob-lem.

“It is always nice to start on the road as it gives the team time to bond away from home and focus on the task at hand, which is getting points from these two matches.”

The WolfPack have their BCCAA home opener on Saturday, Sept. 17 when they host the University of British Columbia Okanagan Heat at 1 p.m. at Hillside Stadium.

THROW INS — The WolfPack have two new assistant coaches in Wayne Girodat and James Byra. Byra is a former WolfPack captain and CCAA All-Canadian. Girodat has coached minor and high school soccer.

Pat Hennelly has added one last piece to the puzzle for his 2011-12 Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s volleyball program.

Left side Krzysztof Orman of Czestochowa, Poland has agreed to play for the WolfPack this sea-son.

Orman spent the last season in Toronto training with the National Beach Volleyball program.

“I thought I did very well,” he said. “I used to represent Poland in the World/European Championships in beach volleyball.”

The six-foot-five Orman played for Vancouver Island University in the B.C. College Athletic Association in 2009-2010.

“We did pretty well in the first semester, finish-ing second, but wound up fourth.”

Hennelly said Orman contacted him, after

which Hennelly spoke with Orman’s former coach, Chris Densmore.

“I have been looking for a passing left side and I think Krzysztof will fit that role nicely,” Hennelly said.

“He will play a similar

role that Behlul [former TRU player and current assistant coach Yavasgel] played for our teams —

very good passer and defender and a smart attacker.”

Orman was looking at attending the University of Alberta, but decided to come to TRU and enrol in the sport event manage-ment program.

“I’m still young [24) but, at the same time, very experienced,” he said.

“ I always fight till the end and never give up.”

Orman becomes the sixth recruit for the WolfPack, joining Brad

Gunter (six-foot-seven right-side setter from Courtenay), Nick Balazs (six-foot-five middle from Prince George), Chris Osborn (six-foot-eight right side/left side from Phoenix), Mohamed AbdelMoniem (six-foot-eight middle from Cairo, Egypt) and Jacob Tricarico (six-foot-seven middle from Huntington Beach, Calif.).

The Kamloops Blaze U-13 boys’ soc-cer squad finished tied for top spot in a Lower Mainland tournament over the weekend.

The Blaze were the co-champions at the Pitt Meadows Labour Day tourney.

Kamloops played four games over two days, finishing with two wins, one loss and one tie.

They finished the tournament with a 2-2 draw against Surrey’s CCB Galaxy.

Jacob Henderson was Kamloops’ top scorer with five goals, followed by Slater Gordon’s three and Bennett Hunter’s two.

Geoffrey Hanks, Samad Twemlow and Evan Monroe each notched single goals.

Keeper Colten Gerlib played all four games in net and recorded one shutout, while Mason Trawin was named the team’s MVP of the tournament.

WOMEN’S HOCKEYThe River City

will play host to the province’s top female hockey players this weekend.

Team B.C.’s wom-en’s hockey squad has scheduled four games and two practice ses-sions at McArthur Island Sports Centre, beginning today (Sept. 8) and running through Sunday (Sept. 11).

The team is using the Olympic-sized ice sheet in preperation for the Hockey Canada U-18 Women’s National Championship, which will take place at an Olympic-sized rink in Saguenay, Que., in November.

Team B.C.’s head coach said he’s looking forward to the time in the Tournament Capital.

“The goal of the games in Kamloops is to set the stage for Quebec,” said Jeff Oldenborger, a member of the Memorial Cup-winning Kamloops Blazers team of 1995.

“The reality is we do not get many games together, so the impor-tance of playing up tempo, properly offici-ated games in prepara-

tion is key to our long term success in Quebec this November.”

Team B.C. will play exhibition games against the KMHA’s bantam Jardine Blazers boys squad as well as the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds women’s team.

“We are looking forward to getting these young women into games,” Oldenborger said.

“Practices are fantas-tic, but we need to play these games.”

Team B.C. will prac-tice tonight and tomor-row morning before taking on the Jardine Blazers at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow (Sept. 9).

The two teams will face off again at 10 a.m. on Saturday morning, before Team B.C. faces off against UBC at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday night.

The final game of the weekend will fea-ture Team B.C. and UBC at 10 a.m. on

Sunday.All games and

practices are on the Olympic-sized ice sur-face at McArthur Island Sports Centre.

The national champi-onship is slated to begin on Nov. 2.

FOOTBALL DAYThe gridiron at

Hillside Stadium will be a busy place on Sunday (Sept. 11), as Kamloops Community Football celebrates Football Day in Kamloops with five games against Kelowna rivals.

The day will begin with the Kamloops Broncos atom team taking on the Kelowna Dragons atom squad at 9 a.m., followed by a 11 a.m. matchup between the pee-wee Broncos and the pee-wee Kelowna Lions.

At 1 p.m., the junior bantam Broncos will take on the junior ban-tam Lions, before a 3 p.m. game between the pee-wee Kamloops Wildcats and the pee-wee Dragons.

The final game of the day will be a 5 p.m. tilt featuring the

junior bantam Wildcats and the junior bantam Dragons.

Atom players are eight and nine years old, followed by pee-wee at 10 and 11 and junior bantam at 12 and 13.

Kamloops Community Football will also be accepting donations of empty bottles and cans all day to raise funds for local football teams.

TRAIL RUNNINGThe 20th annual

Walk in the Park trail run, featuring 18-km, 36-km and 54-km dis-tances, took place on Sunday (Sept. 4) in Kenna Cartwright Park.

Burnaby’s Chris Downie won the 54-km distance with a time of 4:45:06. Coldstream’s Lorie Alexander was the first woman to finish.

At 36 km, Kamloops’ Paul Van Veltzen took top spot with a time of 1:31:41. Edmonton’s Avery Saunders finished first among women.

In the 18-km cat-egory, Surrey’s Paul Mathias won with

a time of 1:44:54. Kamloops’ Natalee Peters was the first woman to finish.

SPORTS

Blaze tie for fi rst at Pitt Meadows tournamentTOURNAMENTCAPITAL SPORTS


The list of players whose careers ended pre-maturely by concussion is long — and, unfortu-nately, getting longer.

Eric Lindros’s grey matter got mangled and he joined brother Brett Lindros in early retire-ment. Marc Savard of Boston has had two serious concussions — he played in only 25 games last season — and speculation is his career is over. Keith Primeau didn’t get to his prime before his NHL time was up and Pat LaFontaine was almost as good as Crosby is today, but concussions prematurely ended his career in 1998.

If Crosby’s career was to end, it would sadly rank with the ‘what-ifs’ associated with the likes of early-retired Sandy Koufax, Barry Sanders and Bobby Orr.

Last year, Crosby was so far ahead of the field in the NHL scor-ing race at mid-season that Wayne Gretzky references were occa-sionally made. Hockey fans can only hope the comparisons this sea-son continue to be with Gretzky, and not Lindros or LaFontaine.

Quote, unquote:• Brad Dickson

of the Omaha World-Herald, on a contractor suing Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy for allegedly firing him for wearing a shirt promoting rival Oklahoma: “Good luck finding 12 jurors in Stillwater who think this was wrong.”

• Humourist Bill Littlejohn, on Adidas

launching a ‘barefoot’ training shoe: “What’s it called, Air Flintstone?”

• Comedy writer Jim Barach: “Frank McCourt has reportedly been offered $1.2 bil-lion to sell the Dodgers by a group of Chinese investors. They plan to recoup their investment by hiring the team that won the Little League World Series to play for $3 a day.”

• Comedy writer Jerry Perisho: “The team from Huntington Beach, Calif. won the Little League World Series. Sadly, Frank McCourt expressed interest in purchasing the team.”

• Serena Williams, with added incentive for winning the U.S. Open: “It’s right before football season, so you want to get on that SI cover before they start only putting football players on there.”

• Greg Cote of the Miami Herald, on New Yorkers’ knee-jerk reac-tion when last week’s 5.8 earthquake struck: “Rex Ryan was doing jumping jacks again.”

• RJ Currie of SportsDeke.com, on the $6,000 cost of a 50-yard line wedding at Michigan Stadium: “This puts a whole new spin on ‘a costly mid-field gamble.’”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Vin Scully announced he will return in 2012 for a 63rd season as the play-by-play voice of the Dodgers. That is, health willing and the divorce judge doesn’t award him to Jamie.”

• Perisho again: “In a Chicago area school, a disruptive first grade

boy was handcuffed and told he was going to prison for talking in class. Then, the threats really got out of hand when they said they might park him in the outfield bleachers at a Cubs game.

• Another one from Littlejohn, after China said London isn’t fit after the rioting to host the 2012 Olympics: “However, they did say that they could host the 2012 Stanley Cup.’’

ABOUT AN HOUR NORTH OF BATON ROUGE, LA., AS SHE DROVE DOWN

Highway 61 — also known in American music lore as the Blues Highway — Rita Chiarelli saw a sign for Angola Prison.

The home to more than 5,000 inmates, where the average sen-tence is longer than 90 years and from which few are ever released, it was on the Canadian blues sing-er’s must-see list for her trip into the Mississippi Delta.

“That was 11 years ago —but who’s counting?” Chairelli said fom her home in Toronto.

“It’s been 10 years since I set foot in the prison on a private tour to making the documentary last year.”

She’s referring to Music from the Big House, a documentary on

the music that is also housed in the prison once called the bloodiest in the U.S.

Chiarelli and Brant Zwicker, host of the radio blues show At The Crossroads, will bring it to Kamloops on Monday Sept. 26 for a showing at Paramount Theatre.

She’ll answer questions on the documentary afterward and per-form.

“I didn’t get to hear the musical inmates the first time I was there,” Chiarelli said.

“But I knew the musical history of it. Leadbelly was there, Freddy Fender was there, one of the Neville Brothers.”

In fact, Leadbelly — born Huddie William Ledbetter and an iconic American blues musician — was pardoned by the governor after music folklorists John and Alan Lomax recorded him singing.

One of the songs that garnered the governor’s favour for the man serving time for attempted murder

was his rendition of Good Night Irene.

One of Leadbelly’s songs, Midnight Special, is performed by

Chiarelli and some of the inmates

during the documentary.

Chiarelli said it was this music

history she wanted to tap into.

“The idea at first was to do a

concert for the inmates, but then I

thought, ‘Let’s hear who’s playing

there today. Let’s play with them,

not at them’.”

After she got concert approval,

Chiarelli asked if it could be

filmed, as well.

“Once I got the OK to do down

with a film crew, well, that was

really amazing. They turn a lot of

people down. They made sure I

knew that.”

Her first phone call after getting

approval was to Bruce McDonald,

the award-winning Canadian direc-

tor of Roadkill, Highway 61 and

music-focused documentaries on

Robbie Robertson and Metric.

He signed on, brought along

Canadian producers with Cache

Film and Television and, after one

preliminary visit to film snippets

to help market the documentary

once it was done and give the

director a feel for the place, the

plan was in place.

The first attempt to film was

thwarted when, with the crew all in

place in Louisiana, Chiarelli was

refused entry to the U.S.

Customs officials insisted she

needed a performers’ visa, which

was not required for a free concert

that was anchoring a documentary.

Prison officials decided to pull

the plug on the project but, three

days later, it was resolved and

Chiarelli was able to fly out.

That left only three days of the

allotted week to shoot the film.

There was another glitch.

Rita Chiarelli makes a pilgrimage to birthplace of the blues — and celebrates a prison’s musical history

A concert with Canadian blues singer Rita Chiarelli and a group of inmates from a maximum-security prison in Louisiana are the focus of Music from the Big House, a documentary coming to Kamloops on Monday, Sept. 26. The prison, once known as the bloodiest in the U.S., houses about 5,000 prisoners, many of whom have tapped into the blues music heritage of the state and the Mississippi Delta.

There was one

inmate Chiarelli and

MacDonald wanted to

focus on in the docu-

mentary but, between

the time the first brief

filming was done and

the beginning of the

major filming, “we

were told he would not

be available,” Chiarelli

said.

“This was not a

casting call. These are

inmates given privileges

for music, but those

privileges can come and

go depending on their

behaviour.”

Chiarelli said she

wasn’t sure what to

expect.

Angola covers

18,000 acres, has a staff

of about 1,800 and an

annual budget of about

$100 million.

Almost all the

inmates are violent

offenders; more than

half will never be

released.

The documen-

tary gives some of the

inmates a chance to tell

their stories, as well as

perform.

The crimes they

were convicted of, how-

ever, are not revealed

until the credits start to

role at the end — a

way to recognize there

were victims in the

story of the inmates, as

well.

In the end, however,

it’s a tale of redemption

through song “and the

music rocks like crazy,”

Chiarelli said.

The documentary

will be shown at 6:30

p.m. on Sept. 26 at

Paramount Theatre, 503

Seymour St.

Tickets are $20 and

available at the theatre

and at Movie Mart, 520

Keeping tabs on gangsPolice: Kelowna-style carnage unlikely in Kamloops

By Tim PetrukSTAFF [email protected] is very unlikely a

brazen daylight mass shooting like the one

that shocked Kelowna residents on the week-

end would happen in Kamloops.That’s the word from

local police in the wake

of the gang-related slay-

ing of Jonathan Bacon on Sunday, Aug. 14.

“You could never say

it would never happen [in Kamloops], but the

chances are remote,” said RCMP Staff Sgt.

Grant Learned.“The likelihood of that repeated type of

violence in this or other

communities is relatively

low.”One man — Bacon,

the notorious 30-year-old Abbotsford member

of the Red Scorpions gang — was killed and

five more were injured in the shooting on

Sunday afternoon out-

side a hotel in downtown

Kelowna.Witnesses reported

seeing a man in a ski-mask with what

appeared to be a machine gun shooting at

a white Porsche SUV. Also seriously injured

in the attack was Larry Amero, a full-patch

member of the Hells Angels’ White Rock

chapter.A few hours later,

investigators found what is believed to be

the suspect vehicle burned beyond recogni-

tion on a remote rural

road near Vernon.No arrests had been made as of KTW press

time.Learned said such

incidents are few and far

between — but no com-

munity is completely safe.

“That type of situ-ation — a very brazen

daylight shooting in a very public environment

— is something that happens on a rare event,”

he said.“I think it’s a bit of a

wake-up call for people

who feel like they’re immune.

“It underscores the need for every person

to be aware of their sur-roundings.”Learned said Kamloops has managed

to avoid much of the gang warfare that has

plagued B.C. in recent years, mainly because of

efforts by local police.“We have been work-

ing extremely hard . . . to keep very close tabs

on what’s happening,” he

said. “We have groups of

people who are loosely affiliated. That’s going to

happen in any city.“But those traditional

gangs . . . any of those gangs are not established

here.”In recent years,

affiliates of the Hells Angels, Independent

Soldiers, United Nations

and Redd Alert gangs have all popped up in

Kamloops, but none have apparently been

able to establish them-selves locally for an

extended period.

Paramedics tend to Larry Amero, a member of the White

Rock chapter of the Hells Angel. Amero was seriously

injured when the Porsche SUV he was in was shot up in

Kelowna on Sunday, Aug. 14. Killed in the attack was Red

Scorpion gangster Jonathan Bacon. Don Sipos photo

Sweet sounds of marriage

By Jessica WallaceSTAFF REPORTER

[email protected]

They’re mixing business and pleasure.

The core duo of the alternative-rock band F & M, Rebecca and Ryan Anderson, have been married for 12 years, but only decided to collabo-rate musically in late 2006.

Although they came from different musical backgrounds — Rebecca a more classical one — their tastes were similar.

They were happy with the result and found their music clicked just as well as they did as a couple.

They even won-dered why they hadn’t collaborated sooner.

They created the band F&M and played with various artists over the years, cur-rently working with Bryan Reichert.

“Becky and I are the heart of it,” Ryan said.

Since they discov-ered their musical chemistry, they have created four albums and one EP.

The newest one,

Wish You Were Here, was released this week.

An earlier album, Sincerely F&M, made it to No. 1 in Canada last year, Rebecca said.

The new album differs slightly to the previous one.

“It’s music to make babies to,” Ryan joked.

“It’s a much qui-eter, romantic record,” he said a little more seriously.

Rebecca said it is a more subtle release.

“It’s not necessar-ily ‘Baby I love you’,” she said, “but it has a romantic mood.”

Being a couple on the road has allowed the Andersons to maintain a busy schedule for the last five years.

“We were on the road a lot this year,” Ryan said.

“Part of our sound is contentment and exhaustion.”

They said they will be ready for their stop at the Pogue Mahone Irish Alehouse, 843 Desmond St., on Sept. 13.

The 15-stop tour

started in Saskatoon in August and ends in Penticton on Sept. 17.

Although they play in a variety of rooms and put on different sorts of shows, they promise they all share a common theme.

“We put on a really

passionate show,” Ryan said.

Expect to see them keeping up the momentum and busy in the future.

“This is what we do,” Rebecca said.

“This is our life.”The show begins at

9 p.m. and admission is free.

Junk in the attic may

be worth more than the

dust it has been collect-

ing.

Accredited appraiser

Peter Blundell may be

able to free up some

space in your house and

put some money in your

pocket during his visit

to Kamloops this week.

Blundell’s obsession

with antiques started

when he was a child.

Even today, he can’t

walk by a thrift store

without going in.

It’s why his hobby

turned into a full-time

job.

Blundell began col-

lecting as a child when

his father exposed him

to architecture and art.

“I bought so much I

had to sell it,” Blundell

said of the antiques that

soon took over most of

the space in his house. Marian, his wife of

43 years, supported his passion and, together they opened an antique shop near Toronto.

They moved to Vernon after Blundell became a certified appraiser, working for eppraisals.com — a division of eBay — and Canadian Antiques Road Show.

He has also writ-ten two books — Marketplace Guide to Oak Furniture and Marketplace Guide to Victorian Furniture.

The couple now tours Western Canada, conducting seminars, consulting and apprais-ing items and homes.

“I get about $120 worth of antique magazines a month,” Blundell said, adding he is confident there are treasures hiding in Kamloops homes.

“Containers came in the ’60s and ’70s from Britain, Holland, France, etc.,” he said of items that are riddled throughout B.C.

“We have this pocket of things that have been around for 50 years. I would suggest looking for things with a degree of age to them.

“With quirkiness, something that’s a little bit strange, something you can’t identify.”

Among artwork and furniture, the couple has a soft spot for their col-lection of little wooden carvings.

They have about 75 of them.

“They pop up every-where,” Blundell said.

“It’s amazing what people collect.”

Blundell is conduct-ing his appraisals at Hampton Gallery, 167 Fourth Avenue.

To have an item

appraised and to make an appointment to visit the Blundells, call 250-374-2400.

The cost is $35 plus HST for up to three items or 15 minutes.

Appraisals will take place from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Visitors are welcome to watch.

&ARTS ENTERTAINMENTPeter Blundell has spent years doing antique appraisals and he’ll be doing it in Kamloops at the Hampton Gallery, 106 Fourth Ave., until Sept. 10.

The first scene of the first play in Western Canada Theatre’s upcoming season is simple.

A man and a woman are in a pub, having a drink and engaged in the banal, everyday conversa-tion anyone might be having with someone they know.

The opening scene of Betrayal, however, isn’t just another day for Daryl Cloran.

It’s the day he really takes over the job of artistic director at Western Canada Theatre (WCT).

When he was hired in July last year, the 2010-2011 season had already been put together by the late Jeremy Tow, Cloran’s predecessor.

“I’m very excited to start my season and to start the season I get to do,” Cloran said.

Rehearsals began this week for the Harold Pinter play that has been called one of the fin-est dramas written in the past century.

It’s largely autobiographical, drawn from Pinter’s affair with a British journalist.

The plot is told in reverse, taking the audience backward from the pub scene, set two years after the affair ended, through to when it began.

It opens in Pavilion Theatre and, for people who have not been in the Lorne Street facil-ity in a while, they’re in for a surprise.

The lobby has been renovated and upgraded and will soon also include works by local artists on its walls.

Cloran is hoping a liquor licence will be approved in time for the second play of the season, Letters from Wingfield Farm, which opens in Sagebrush Theatre on Oct. 13.

The application to sell liquor at the city-owned facility has been sent to the province “and I’ve been told it could take four weeks or it could take six months.”

October also sees the start of after-school theatre classes on Wednesdays. The first session is introductory with the second ses-sion, in the spring, geared toward performing.

“I’m a big believer you should offer as much training to youth as possible,” Cloran said.

He noted the WCT Stage One summer program for youth added musical theatre to its offerings and sold out.

“You have to provie access to theatre to youth to really get it on their radar,” Cloran said.

Terri Runnalls will teach the after-school classes at the nearby Yacht Club.

Community partnerships are key for Cloran so, in addition to providing exhibition space to art-ists and engaging youth in class-es, he’ll be working with theatre-arts students at Thompson Rivers University for The 25th Annual Putnum County Spelling Bee, which opens April 19 in Pavilion Theatre.

He’s also liaised with the Kamloops Thompson Honour Choir and 40 of its members, broken into two choirs of 20 voices, will alternate nights per-forming in the Christmas presen-

tation of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, which opens at Sagebrush Theatre on Nov. 24.

And he’s brought a new venue into partnership with WCT, stag-ing Tuesdays with Morrie at the Kamloops Convention Centre in November. That play stars M*A*S*H star Jamie Farr.

“It’s certainly my hope to strengthen those ties with the community,” Cloran said.

Sharing will extend beyond the city’s boundaries.

After it wraps its February run, Noises Off will head to Chemainus Theatre and, from there, to other theatres in the B.C. Interior.

Cloran said he hopes to share stage experiences with neigh-bouring communities whenever possible.

He’s looked way beyond the B.C. Alberta border for one of his shared theatre experiences for his first season.

On March 29, Ubuntu - The Cape Town Project, comes to Sagebrush Theatre from South Africa.

The play is special for Cloran; he directed its premiere in Toronto in 2009.

WCT has hired Margo Kane to share the stage with Lorne Cardinal in For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again, which opens at Sagebrush Theatre Jan. 26.

It is the first time the Michel Tremblay play will feature two First Nations actors in the lead roles.

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKCUISINE

IT SEEMS EVERYWHERE I GO THESE DAYS, I CAN’T THROW A HAM HOCK WITHOUT HITTING ONE

KINDRED OR ANOTHER.Not cousins,

exactly, but people who know my land-scape, have eaten what I’ve eaten.

From Abbotsford to Toronto, stories have been swapped about plucking chick-ens, canning soup and baking buns.

There have been written confessions to hopeless love affairs with recipes mostly made of cream.

In this time, I’ve been given three Mennonite cookbooks and some recipes on the side.

This week, in response to a recent column about my once-

abiding hatred of green beans, came another letter which reads like a postcard from home.

Lori Bradstock from Kamloops writes:

“I was just read-ing your column of August 18th . . . and was shocked to real-ize that as a good Mennonite girl you had obviously not grown up eating bean (green and yellow) soup!”

Guilty as charged! While there may

have been bean soup, no one would have wasted it on me.

It’s very un-Mennonite of me, but I was — and am — a persnick-ety eater.

However, I’m also willing to to admit when I’m wrong and find out what I’ve been missing.

It seems I’ve been missing a lot!

“The Mennonite name we know it by,” Lori says, “is Schaubel Zup.

“It is made with either a smoked meat [ham hock or farmer’s sausage] broth OR with a chicken broth and is distinguished by the flavour of the herb summer savoury [Pappakrut].”

Lori had me at the words farmer’s sausage broth, but there’s more.

Besides the summer beans, there are garden fresh carrots and “the last of the fresh peas and new potatoes. Then you add cream [of course] . . . at the table.”

Well, what else can I say except, please pass the cream?

And thank you for the stories.

Recipe by Lori Bradstock)

Stock:1 cooking onion, quartered1 parsnip cut into 3 or 4 chunks4 or 5 new carrots, cut or whole, depending on sizeCelery heart with leaves1 smoked ham hock3-4 bay leaves

Put all ingredients into stock pot. Fill with water. Put on stove on high until it comes to a rolling boil. Turn down heat and simmer for four or more hours. Remove all solids, discarding everything except the ham hock.

Remove the meaty pieces from the ham hock and reserve for the soup.Put the pot of stock into the fridge to cool until the next morning.

When cool, scoop off the layer of fat that has risen to the top and dis-card.

Soup:10 cups of ham stock1 large cooking onion, chopped8 cups (approximately) of fresh green and yellow beans, cleaned

and chopped into 1-inch pieces (I break, not chop)Large bunch of summer savoury, well rinsed, but still on stems2 cups of fresh garden carrots, if small enough they are just

scrubbed but not peeled, chopped into coins2 cups of freshly shelled green peas (generally only added if there

are still a few peas left in the garden to pick)6 (or so) new potatoes, cubed into bite-size pieces (scrubbed but

not peeled if fresh from garden)Cream (if desired)

Bring the stock to a boil and add onion, beans and savoury. Allow to return to the boil and then reduce heat slightly so just barely

boiling. After 10 or 15 minutes, add the carrots and peas and keep simmer-

ing. When the carrots are tender, add the potatoes and continue simmer-ing for 20 minutes.

While the potatoes cook, add the meat from the ham hock plus one or two farmer’s sausages, sliced into bite-sized pieces.

When the potatoes are tender, the soup is ready. Before serving, remove the herb stems, which will have left all their

leaves behind in the soup. Season to taste. Sweet cream can be added at the table to individual

taste. Serve with Zwieback (buttery fresh buns); the recipe is at

nicefatgurdie.wordpress.com.Soup can be heat-processed in jars.

Forget it, Capricorn. You’re way too busy to take on another project. Finish what you’ve started and see where you stand financially after that.

Look out, Aquarius. Rumors begin circulating at work, and there is some truth to them. Turn to a trusted source for the lowdown on what’s true and what isn’t.

Relax, Pisces. The changes being implemented will not affect you personally. A matter at home requires your attention. A special date draws near.

Hope you know how to hustle, Aries. If not, you’re going to learn how to this week, as deadlines get moved up and you have to get more done in less time.

Fun is on tap this week, Taurus. Invitations here and there are extended, making for special outings, while the humdrum routine at work is interrupted with some great activities.

Calm down, Gemini. The situation is not nearly as bad as it seems. Everything will soon fall into place, paving the way for progress. A gift arrives.

You’re on a mission, Cancer, and nothing can get in your way. Songs of yesterday inspire you to make some changes for a better tomorrow.

Lapses in concentration wreak havoc on a home improvement project. Set it aside, Leo, until you can give it your undivided attention. A young friend has a request.

Use it or lose it, Virgo. The clutter bug has taken over, and the time has come for you to deal with it. A fresh face at work brings something extra to the table.

Jazz it up, Libra. You’ve got it all down. Now you just need to make it appealing to the masses. A craft project among friends ends with a flourish.

You’re keeping a secret that someone else wants to know. Don’t let your guard down for a second, Scorpio. They’re just waiting for you to slip up.

Piecemeal is not your style, Sagittarius, but that’s the only way a project is going to get finished. Flowers bring cheer to the landscape.

TRAVEL

By Jane CassieSPECIAL TO KTWtravelwriterstales.com

Boots, sweaters, mittens — it looks like I’ve packed for a ski trip instead of Hawaii Island.

But, no worries — I didn’t forget my flip-flops.

With 11 climate zones to cover, I’ve come prepared.

During this touring week, I’m captivated by these night light per-spectives that span from the Hawaiian island’s shoreline to the highest peak.

Lights are positioned, the stage is set — now for the cast.

No, this underwater act is not your typical lu’au.

The Manta Ray Bar and Grill at Sheraton Keauhou Bay offers the best of both worlds – umbrella drinks with a balcony view.

The aquatic curtain rises and two mantas take centre stage.

One is the size of a surfboard, the other a small spaceship.

They fleet in the shallows, whisk by like marine bats and perform their aquatic ballet.

The illumination draws out hordes of plankton, their primary food source.

And, with some weighing close to 2,000 pounds, it’s one popular seafood buffet.

Like space-age aliens, they also possess a built-in sixth sense — electro-receptors that detect when someone is horning in.

We’re photograph-ing the distant fiery

plume of Halema‘uma‘u Crater from the deck of Thomas A. Jaggar Museum, in Hawaii Volcano National Park.

The open pit in Kilauea Caldera is the world’s longest continu-ously erupting volcano.

On March 11, 2008, a new vent opened in this massive basin and, ever since, has been spewing steam, gasses and ashes.

It now measures 131 metres — larger than a regulation-size football field.

Tonight, Pele is performing one of her touchdowns.

From our chilly observation deck at 3,500 feet, she radiates in stately splendor.

Smooth rippled “Pahoehoe” (pro-nounced pah-hoy-hoy) that once flowed from the giant maw has long-since hardened and look like tendrils of her flow-ing hair.

Razor-edged “aa” (pronounced ah-ah) that had spewed with her fumes, dot the barren

landscape like tears she once shed.

But, her true beauty comes from within.

Plumes of cotton-white ash envelope an effusion of fiery tones — flaming reds, burnt ochre, hot pinks perco-late together and seethe from the deep.

I’m a sucker for stars and sunsets.

The 13,796 foot, snow-draped Maunakea is a great place to see them.

Thirteen world-class

observatories think so, too.

Although we could do the heaven-bound trek on our own, Hawaii Forest & Trail covers the essentials — trusty vehicles, camp-out din-ners and astronomy guides who know more than Captain Kirk.

By the time we sum-mit, the white powder-puffs is a sky of blue and a brazen sun.

I watch it set in silence, captivated by the symphony of

colour — bands of pink, streaks of amber, shots of violet.

It seems to go on forever and, when light transitions to dark, the stars provide an encore.

There are few places on earth where you can see the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Cross without changing your stance.

FAITH

Foundations, charities need biblical foundationsS

OME BIG NAMES — GATES, BUFFET, CLINTON, JOBS — have recently challenged the wealthy in particular to rethink

philanthropy in a new light and to dispose of more personal wealth.

A verse in the gospels, “Jesus went about doing good,” explains in a few words the ministry of Christ.

He did good and told others to do so.The gospels constantly tell us Jesus

touched lepers with his fingers, anointed the eyes of the blind even when he was only asked to speak the word from a distance.

He did not usually comply but went to the sick beds in per-son and healed the sick.

That is a les-son for us.

If we do any good, let us do it our-selves.

Give alms with our own hands, a kind look, a smile or word. It will enhance the value of the gift.

Let us speak to a friend about his life. Our loving appeal will have more influ-

ence than distributing a whole bundle of tracts.

Throughout the whole land of Judea, there was scarcely a village which was not gladdened by the sight of Jesus.

How this reproves the creeping, casual manner in which many serve the Lord: Let us gird up the loins of our mind and not be weary in well doing.

Does not the above text imply Jesus went out of his way to do good?

He was never put off by dangers or dif-ficulties.

He sought for people to do good to — and so must we.

Remember Zacchaeus, who hid himself on a sycamore tree?

Christ’s perseverance and the unity of his purpose are also hinted at and the practical application of the subject may be summed up by the words: “He has left us an example that we should follow in His steps.”

God is good all the time.In the Bible, the concept of good is

inseparably linked with personal faith in God.

The redemptive love of God is one aspect of the quality that the Scripture calls “God’s goodness.”

The writer of Psalms writes: “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good and His love endures forever” (100:4,5).

His glorious kindness and generosity touch all His creatures: “The Lord is good to all, He has compassion on all He has made” (Ps. 145:9).

That ought to lead sinners to repen-tance.

Paul writes: “Do you show contempt for the riches of His kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness

leads you toward repentance?” (Romans 2:4).

Other aspects of His goodness are the mercy, compassion or pity that shows kind-ness toward persons who have persisted in sinning (Exodus 3:4-6).

The supreme expression of God’s good-ness is, however, still the amazing grace and inexpressible love that shows kindness by saving sinners who only deserve con-demnation.

Yet God made provision to save them at the tremendous cost of Christ’s death on Calvary (Romans 3:22,24; 5:5-8).

God’s faithfulness to His purposes, promises, and people is a further aspect of His goodness and praiseworthiness.

Humans lie and break their word. God does neither. In the worst of times, it can still be said:

“His compassions never fail . . . great is Your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22-23).

In Christ, the believer is created for good works (Eph. 2:10), and receive a good conscience (Acts 23:1).

This is also the reason for urgent exhor-tation to bear fruit in good works, to seek to do good and to do it to everyone.

The goodness of the Lord impels us to do good works.

We have been called to serve.The Holy Spirit makes war on all that is

poor, shoddy, showy; weaves the different threads of personality into good material — real hard-wearing solid stuff — and not only in the sphere of behaviour or devo-tion.

He makes human beings into fully liv-ing men, not through their own efforts and

strivings, but by the penetration of God. Nothing is a good work unless it is done

with a good motive, and there is no motive which can be said to be good but the glory of God.

The New Testament is always warning against the peril of a superficial, passive response to the good which people are bent on attaining.

There is all the difference between a sponge and a spring. In order to grasp what it wants, the sponge swells up to several times its size.

It does that because it is a sponge with-out any sign of life. But, the spring flows along, making meadows green and giv-ing to all who would partake refreshing draught from its crystal waters.

If a spring becomes stagnant, it com-mits suicide.

The Dead Sea is dead because it takes everything in and gives nothing out.

That kills life.In this life, there is a permanent ten-

sion between God who is good and who gives good gifts, and the reality which is characterized by sin and death in which the believer’s life is caught up.

It is in this perspective that the promise of Philippians 1:6 has meaning: “He who has begun a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”

Therefore, the warning of Galatians 6:9 holds good: “Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”
