Gary Wilson of Australia was among those riding the Rocky Mountaineer’s Life Changing Train for Heroes, which pulled into Kamloops on Tuesday, Oct. 1. The Train for Heroes honours those who have made a significant impact on the lives of others. This year’s journey saw the Rocky Mountaineer partner with organizations that support wounded soldiers and veterans. On board were five soldiers or veterans and their families, including Wilson, who was seriously injured in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan in 2010. The crash killed three of Wilson’s fellow soldiers and left him in a coma for almost three months. Wilson had to again learn to walk, eat, talk and use the left side of his body. In April 2011, Wilson married his fiancee, Renee. He is now being supported by the Soldier On organization. For more information on the Train for Heroes, go online to rockymountaineer.com/heroes.

Allen Douglas/KTW Son who killed dad gets at least 12 years By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER [email protected]A Kamloops man who killed his father last year after being denied $20 will spend at least 12 years in jail before becoming eligible for parole. Jaipreet Singh Toor was sentenced in B.C. Supreme Court on Wednesday, Oct. 2, after pleading guilty last month to second-degree murder. On March 20, 2012, the 46-year- old stabbed his father, Harsewak Singh Toor, 31 times in the chest during an argument over $20 at the family’s Brocklehurst home. Court heard the younger Toor had borrowed $10 from his 79-year-old father earlier in the day — money he spent on two cans of beer at a North Shore liquor store. He then returned to his father, asking for another $20. When his father said no, the younger Toor went to another room in the house and grabbed a knife before once again confronting his father. The elder Toor again refused his son’s demand, at which point he was stabbed numerous times. The struggle spilled out into the family’s front yard, where Jaipreet Toor eventually left his father’s dead body with a knife sticking out of his chest. Toor then called 911 and confessed first to dispatchers and then to police that he killed his father. A second-degree murder conviction in Canada carries with it a mandatory life sentence, but it is up to the judge to decide how long the offender must wait before becoming eligible for parole. The Crown had been seeking a term of 12 to 14 years, while Toor asked for the 10-year minimum. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan said she was motivated to hand down a term longer than the minimum because of the nature of the offence. “Mr. Toor viciously attacked his elderly father,” she said. “Pent-up frustration erupted in an explosion of violence.” Donegan also noted Toor was still on probation at the time of the murder for an assault on his father in 2011. Prior to the killing, Toor had a brief criminal record, including the assault conviction and a few alcohol-related incidents. He was also convicted of assault last month after an incident involving a cor- rections officer at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre.

A Kamloops man who killed his father last year after being denied $20 will spend at least 12 years in jail before becoming eligible for parole.
Jaipreet Singh Toor was sentenced in B.C. Supreme Court on Wednesday, Oct. 2, after pleading guilty last month to second-degree murder.
On March 20, 2012, the 46-year-old stabbed his father, Harsewak Singh Toor, 31 times in the chest during an argument over $20 at the family’s Brocklehurst home.
Court heard the younger Toor had borrowed $10 from his 79-year-old father earlier in the day — money he spent on two cans of beer at a North Shore liquor store.
He then returned to his father, asking for another $20.
When his father said no, the younger Toor went to another room in the house and grabbed a knife before once again confronting his father.
The elder Toor again refused his son’s demand, at which point he was stabbed numerous times.
The struggle spilled out into the family’s front yard, where Jaipreet Toor
eventually left his father’s dead body with a knife sticking out of his chest.
Toor then called 911 and confessed first to dispatchers and then to police that he killed his father.
A second-degree murder conviction in Canada carries with it a mandatory life sentence, but it is up to the judge to decide how long the offender must wait before becoming eligible for parole.
The Crown had been seeking a term of 12 to 14 years, while Toor asked for the 10-year minimum.

Maslin, a retired nurse, made her way downtown to Thrift City early on Tuesday, Oct. 1, wanting to take advantage of a full stock of bargains as the store started its three-day fire sale.
It’s a real fire sale — the New Life Mission, which operates the Seymour Street store, needs to clear out inventory so workers can get in and start repairs made necessary after a fire broke out at the rear of the building on Sept. 23.
Karen Hayes and Denise Harvey were also at the store shortly after its 9:30 a.m. opening.
Hayes had hoped to find a pair of boots she saw days before — and take advan-tage of the sale price of 50 cents for all clothing items.
The boots weren’t there, but Hayes was delighted to find a pair of Sorels in good shape and added them to her ever-growing collection.
Harvey said she peruses and buys from the store’s book section often, but was also checking out the racks of clothing and filling up her shopping basket.
Hayes has a connection with the mis-sion that goes beyond the store.
As a videographer, she creates videos for the mission’s annual Back to Black fundraiser and did a series promoting the work of the agency that was used in a campaign directed at local churches.
“I just love what the mission does and
just couldn’t believe it,” she said.“First there was the House of Ruth,
then a fire and then somebody breaks the front window?
“Somebody’s got it out for the mis-sion.”
To try to shore up its finances, the mission closed the House of Ruth, its resi-dential long-term treatment facility, earlier this year.
And, just a day after the fire, someone broke the store’s front window.
Kamloops RCMP are continuing their investigations.
Kamloops Fire Rescue investigators have deemed the fire suspicious and referred their findings to police.
No suspect has been identified in the vandalism other than a description the per-petrator was male.
The fire sale concludes today (Thursday, Oct. 3) at Thrift City, 342 Seymour St.

Charges are pending against a 40-year-old man after Kamloops Mounties were called to a home on Shuswap Road on Tuesday, Oct. 1, to investigate a weapons-related complaint.
Cpl. Cheryl Bush said officers from the rural and city RCMP detach-ments were sent to home on the Tk’emlups Indian Band at about 1 p.m. after being told a man armed with a weapon had forced another man into the home.
Bush said a witness told police the suspect was holding a knife and a club as he forced the victim inside the home.
Officers responded and arrested a 40-year-old man without inci-dent. A 58-year-old man was tended to by paramedics for minor injuries, but did not go to hospital.
Bush said the men know each other, with the incident taking place
at the home of the man who was arrested.
The investigation is ongoing and police are recommending charges of unlawful confinement, uttering threats and assault with a weapon.
■ Police are look-ing for an older-model red and silver pickup truck suspected of being involved in a theft at Sun Peaks.
Kamloops Rural RCMP said the theft was
reported on Monday, Sept. 30, at a unit at 5040 Valley Dr., when a contractor arrived in the morning to discover three television sets — two 60-inchers and one 40-incher still in their shipping boxes — left in the house for installation were gone.
There were no signs of forced entry and access is gained through a pass code.
Police were told the
truck had been at the residence at about 7:10 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 29, and witnesses saw a large cardboard box in the bed of the truck.
Two males wearing black hoodies were put-ting something into the truck box at the time.
■ Kamloops RCMP are looking for the own-ers of property recov-ered.
The items include a telescope, a trophy and printed materials, among other unique historical artifacts.
The items do not match any police records of lost or stolen items.
Anyone with infor-mation is asked to call the RCMP’s main detachment at 250-828-3000.

Jacquie Brand has already learned some-thing from the upcom-ing Power of Being A Girl conference — what she thinks is cool isn’t really cool to a lot of teens.
That’s one of the reasons the Oct. 16 conference has been created — from work-shops to keynotes to even what they’ll have for lunch — by the demographic it targets, girls between the ages of 12 and 14.
Brand, program co-ordinator at the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA Women’s Shelter, said focus groups were convened last spring.
Teens got together to discuss the focus of the annual conference — to help give them building blocks to help them transition into
adulthood.“We try to make
that wishlist happen for them,” Brand said, noting she sat in on some of the meetings.
“I was surprised at what I heard. For one thing, what we [adults] think is cool isn’t in a lot of cases.”
After several meet-ings, that wishlist led to workshops that will focus on:
• Media busting: How does the media influence the way teens view themselves and how can they pro-tect themselves from societal pressure?
• Inspiring words to live by: Participants
will be given a pil-lowcase and, using Sharpie markers, cre-ate a design that plays with words, images and phrases that will provide the teens with inspiration in the future.
• Sketchbook of self-discovery: Again using the markers, teens will create art that addresses the importance of having healthy relationships. A new feature this year is a partnership with the Kamloops Art Gallery, which will showcase the artwork after the conference.
• Snack power: Teens will learn about
healthy, nourishing snacks that are inex-pensive to make and how they can help boost energy.
• Yoga and belly dancing: Good for the body and soul, benefi-cial to flexibility and strength — and fun.
Participants can choose two workshops at the conference, which will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 16, at the Tournament Capital Centre.
The conference is free and open to a maximum of 125 teens, although pre-registration is required.
Each year since it was introduced in 2006, the conference has had a wait list, Brand said, so teens are encouraged to call the Y at 250-372-7725 to reserve a seat.
Sponsors are also being sought because, although the teens
pay nothing, it costs the Y about $80 per participant to provide everything at the con-ference.
Businesses and individuals are being approached to donate $50 each a part of the Y’s Girl Flower Power Fundraiser.
Donations can be made online at kamloopsy.org/girl-power or at any of the
Y locations.Each year, Brand
said, someone asks why the organization doesn’t organize a sim-ilar event for boys.
“Teen boys are equally important, but this is our capacity,” Brand said.
“We need men and boys to create it. That would help with the process to get it going.
There is a template
in place through the Y at the international level — Strength of Being A Boy — just as there is for the girls.
Brand said if an organizing group came together, the local Y would provide guid-ance but, like the girls’ event, planning and legwork would have to be done by focus groups and volunteers.

Seven staff at the Kamloops Daily News, including two advertisement designers and five who work in a department that prepares advertisements for clients, have received layoff notices.
The move follows an announcement by parent company Glacier Media that it will be contracting out its ad-production departments in several newspapers in the Lower Mainland, effective Dec. 13, sending the work to be done in the Philippines and India by Affinity Express, which is based in Chicago.
Daily News publisher Tim Shoults was unavailable for comment, but
Rob Munro, staff representative for Unifor Local 2000 (formerly the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union) said he learned the Daily News layoffs are effective Jan. 10.
Munro said the composition depart-ment is not unionized and, with only two union members affected, he sus-pects Shoults did not advise him of the decision because labour legislation only requires notice of a large layoff if it affects a substantial number of staff.
Munro said a similar layoff is occur-ring at Glacier’s newspaper in Prince George.
“And I had to tell the publisher because she hadn’t heard about it,” he said.
A clause in the Daily News contract does not allow layoff of full-time staff and the union was told the two graphic artists will be reassigned.

Delegates at last month’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention called for extending terms of office for mayors and councillors from three years to four.
Bring it on.Anyone who has regularly
watched municipal politicians in action or has served on such a board knows the avalanche of information the newest members
must absorb.On top of
learning the history of past decisions and choices to create the proper con-
text for making good decisions, rookies must try to memorize the process and learn how best to work within those confines to be the most effective.
In our estimation, it takes between one and two years mini-mum for an elected official to reasonably understand how to do the job.
Therefore, this leaves about one year of a three-year term where they are sufficiently profi-cient to best represent the people who put them into office.
Extending a term by another year will give residents better bang for their tax buck by reduc-ing election costs.
The proposal passed with a 60 per cent approval rate, with one rural delegate stating the idea came from “professional politi-cians” in the Lower Mainland, where pay is higher.
While that may be true, it doesn’t change the fact this is an idea whose time may have come and it should be pushed forward as soon as possible.
It’s not as though there isn’t precedent for this in Canada.
If such a plan is enacted, B.C. would fall in step with every other province.
Overall, we would be better served by having longer terms, both in terms of effectiveness of politicians and money saved by having fewer elections.
Watch madness ensue as we have no bits and bytes to chewAS I WRITE THIS, MY
co-workers here at Kamloops This Week are coping with a reality that,
for some of the younger ones, is incomprehensible.
We have no Internet.We have lights and heat and all
those things that indicate the power is working just fine, but we also have browsers that, when opened on our computers, simply tell us it does not compute.
There was a time when this would not be a problem for our newspaper — and it wasn’t that long ago.
I remember the day when, for what-ever reason, the flats on which the actu-al hard copy of our stories and ads, after being run through a gluing machine so the pieces of paper would stick to those flats, weren’t ready on time.
That meant we would miss the Greyhound bus we relied on back then to get all those flats to the printing press in Vernon.
Our intrepid production manager, a human dynamo who would not let anything stop the newspaper from hit-ting your doorsteps, hopped into her car with the box of flats and drove them herself.
Unfortunately, she has retired — although our office manager has been on the phone to her several times today trying to figure out a solution, while the rest of us watch various techies from our service provider and computer companies in the city come in to try to get us back online.
It’s been stressful, particularly for that younger segment of our workforce who really can’t remember life without
email, search engines and a worldwide web of information readily available.
Need to do some research? Pull out the back issues.
No email? Try using the phone, folks.
The old ways still work, for the most part — we’ve just become too dependent on all those bits and bytes doing the work for us, even if that simple search led to 36,778,942 hits.
I find myself giggling now and then as I listen to an exasperated “still?” as another co-worker comes back into the office, expecting everything to be working again.
It could be worse — and this is where I pull out my “I walked 10 miles in my stocking feet in the depths of winter over 10-foot-high snowdrifts” side, so feel free to stop reading now.
Back in the winter of 1977, while working for the paper in my home-town of London, Ont., a blizzard hit.
And I mean hit.It shut the city down — with winds
up to 110 km/h, cars stranded on high-ways and snow that, at my house, at least, drifted up and over the roof.
Our paper had multiple deadlines daily because we covered a 10-county
area, most of them getting a version of the paper geared toward them. In real-ity, that meant remaking the city and Western Ontario pages several times a day.
The blizzard knocked out the power, so we were working by flash-lights, meeting every deadline because we didn’t know when the presses in the basement would power back on.
We used walkie-talkies to com-municate with reporters who were out in the city — one of them using cross-country skis to get around.
Our switchboard still worked but, without electricity, the red lights indi-cating which line was ringing didn’t show, so it meant pushing button after button after button and hoping you got to the right light before the caller hung up — or you disconnected someone already on the phone.
Our publisher put us up in a nearby hotel and warned the nearest hotels we’d be heading there for meals — and to send all the bills to him. He also had food brought in, mainly sand-wiches because, of course, nobody had power.
Four days later, the power came back on and the paper was ready to hit the presses.
We’re doing pretty much the same thing right now, writing our stories and getting them edited, sending them through production, where the staff will do all their functions and load it all onto a thumbdrive to upload on someone’s home computer and get it all to the press — and you can bet that’s a shorter drive than heading to Vernon.

Editor:On Sunday, Sept. 29, I attended a free lecture by
Dr. Rob Hood and Dr. John Hull regarding the tourism industry in the Thompson-Okanagan region.
They presented data from a variety of reliable sources showing the significant financial contribu-tion tourism makes to our local economy and quality of life. They identified how the natural beauty of the Kamloops area is a deciding factor for many interna-tional students who have chosen to study at TRU.
Clearly, tourism is not a minor industry and its ben-efits are shared throughout our community.
They presented a convincing argument that hav-ing a large open-pit mine on the edge of town would have a serious impact on our tourism industry and they presented a case example of how having a mine 10 kilometres from a community significantly reduced that community’s tourism revenue.
Overall, I was impressed by their attention to detail and their inclusion of verifiable facts (in dollars and cents) about this topic.
The presenters made no secret of their enthusiasm for the tourism industry.
Unfortunately, they may have conveyed that Kamloops citizens have some power to choose tour-ism over an open-pit mine.
In fact, we do not.The Mineral Tenure Act gives preferential treat-
ment to the mining sector at the expense of other development opportunities, including tourism and agriculture.
The Union of B.C. Municipalities recently passed a resolution calling on the provincial government to modernize the act, though Victoria is under no obliga-tion to do so.
Our local MLAs have been alarmingly silent about the proposed Ajax mine and they have not added their voices to calls for modernization of the Mineral Tenure Act.
I understand their interest in maintaining neutrality about the project and their insistence on waiting for the outcome of the environmental assessment.
However, remaining neutral need not prevent them from acknowledging the seriousness of many resi-dents’ concerns.
Waiting for the facts about the proposed Ajax mine need not prevent Todd Stone nor Terry Lake from tak-ing a stand in the legislature about our collective right to influence what happens in our community.
Opportunities to learn about the predicted benefits and potential costs of having an open-pit copper and gold mine on the edge of Kamloops are (and will con-tinue to be) available.
The debate between those in favour and those opposed will continue. Sadly, none of that really mat-ters if the provincial government favours the ambitions of mining companies over the needs and aspirations of its citizens.

Editor:Re: Denise Powers’ letter of Sept.
26, in which she criticizes post-oper-ative care at Royal Inland Hospital (‘Welcome to Canada’s no-care health system’):
My husband is 79 years old.On Sept. 13, he had knee-replace-
ment surgery at RIH.Before he went into the hospital,
he was called to attend a pre-surgical screening clinic.
My husband was instructed on what he needed to do to prepare for surgery.
He was given many handouts as to what to expect before and after surgery. He was asked about home care, who was there to help and ease of entering our vehicle, our home and
our bathroom.Information was given if we need-
ed anything from the Red Cross.As for post-operative care, I can
not say enough good things about the nurses and staff on 6 North of the hospital, where he was sent after the operation.
They could not have done any-thing more to make his stay comfort-able.
Though they were busy, they were always caring and pleasant.
We may not have the best health-care system in the world, but we are certainly far from the worst.
Thank you.

When there’s an accident, a crisis, a need for a first responder, the volunteers who make up the Pinantan and East
Paul Lake volunteer fire department are there,
Sometimes, particular-ly with medical respond-ers, it means dealing with the crisis “out of the back of our cars,” said Sarah Franklin.
A fire truck was donated, but there isn’t enough money to pay for its insurance to run it, she added.
So, being the kind of person who sees a problem and steps up to help fix it, Franklin has organized a couple of fundraising events on Sunday, Oct. 12, that she’s hoping will not only draw from her com-munity, but also appeal to the rest of the area.
It starts with a fam-ily fun day, that will run from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Pinantan elemen-tary. Entrance is free and tickets can be bought in bundles valued from $10 to $50 each to take part in various stations, which include bouncy castles, face painting and hourly shows by Uncle Chris the Clown.
Later in the day, the event will get musical.
Still using the school
as a central venue, a 19-plus event featuring four bands takes over, with headliner Kenny Shields and Streetheart.
Opening for him are 40 Foot Echo from Vancouver and Bongos 12 and the Henry Small Band from Kamloops.
Franklin said free camping will be provided at nearby Paul Lake Provincial Park — with proof of attendance at the evening event — and a
park-and-ride program is being developed.
Once the expenses are paid, the money will go to help improve the cir-cumstances under which the 28 volunteer firefight-ers and 10 who provide other emergency services are now working.
The goal is to build a hall on land that has been provided through a dona-tion and the Thompson-Nicola Regional District.
Franklin, herself one
of those first-responders, is hoping to see 750 people buy tickets for the fun day and dance.
Tickets are available through ticketmaster.ca or ticketweb.ca for $40 plus applicable taxes and service charges.
They can be found by searching out Streetheart events.
Tickets can also be had for $45 at the Pinantan general store or by calling 250-573-3303.

Canada Post is making more changes to its Kamloops ser-vices and city council is, as usual, less than thrilled.
In a letter to council, Canada Post spokesman Tom Creech said the Crown corporation is about to switch up oper-ations at its Seymour Street post office.
While the letter didn’t state exactly what changes are com-ing, an attached photo showed a model post office with a single window for service and most products behind the counter.
Creech said staffing levels at the post office “may change,” but did not elaborate on how.
“With declining mail volumes and revenues, Canada Post must make smart decisions in order to maintain postal service while remaining finan-cially self-sufficient,” he wrote.
Mayor Peter Milobar said the change doesn’t do any-thing to solve Canada Post’s problems.
“Every time I’ve been in that post office, I’ve waited in line for a few minutes, usually with a few people in front of me, usually with two clerks work-ing,” he said.
“In terms of driving people away, I think Canada Post is going to shoot themselves in the foot by making the lines longer.”
Milobar believes there are better ways to save costs in Kamloops, such as doing away with sepa-rate boxes for in-town mail — which became irrelevant when Canada Post decided to ship all mail from the city to Vancouver for sorting.
“I question these broad, nationwide impacts instead of looking at each loca-tion on a case-by-case basis and how busy it is,” Milobar said.
Council decided to write another unhappy letter to Canada Post
and to Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod.
It’s by no means the first one Milobar has penned on the subject of mail service
this year.Previous letters
of displeasure have touched on the new
Lower Mainland sort-ing system and the desire to reduce home-delivery services.

For downtown park-ing meters, it’s off with their heads.
The city’s coin-operated meters are scheduled to get the chop in the com-ing weeks, when pay kiosks arrive down-town.
Community safety manager Jon Wilson said the new pay sta-tions — which will track parked cars via licence-plate number — should be installed at the end of October and be operational by the week of Nov. 4.
City council took one of the final steps in the switchover process on Tuesday, Oct. 1, taking to third reading
a bylaw to hike meter rates and parking fines and allow three hours of parking downtown.
When the new sta-tions go live, the cost of parking will double — to $1 an hour from 50 cents for 60 min-utes.
Built into the new rate structure are two more meter hikes.
In 2015, an hour of parking will cost $1.25. In 2018, it will rise to $1.50.
While the meter heads are being removed, the metal poles will remain, as will painted lines marking individual parking spaces.
In an effort to make sure no one forgets to pay for parking under the new system, Wilson said the city will roll
out various new decals, street signs and a new website — kampark.ca — along with the pay stations.
The city is also looking at offering Kam Park-branded key-ring fobs and wal-let cards for people to write their plate num-bers on, lest they forget them on the walk down the block to the pay station.
In addition to accepting coins, the new machines will take credit cards.
And, unlike the meters, they will issue receipts businesses can collect if they want to validate a customer’s parking.
“There is the poten-tial to basically come downtown and park for free,” Wilson said.

A Lower Mainland couple is looking for help from Tournament Capital residents to recover a laptop containing pho-tos of their dead son.
Adam Rositch committed sui-cide in 2008.
Since then, Chris Rositch and his wife, Christina, had stored all pictures and videos of their son on a laptop computer.
Last month, Chris was visit-ing family in Valleyview.
“On Sept. 1, I came out at about 8:30 in the morning to find my car window was smashed,” he said.
“I noticed the computer, camera and cellphone were missing.”
Chris said he called Kamloops Mounties, who opened a file.
“They just said this is com-mon in that area,” he said.
“It’s been happening more and more, it seems.”
Now, the only mementos the family has of Adam are photos from his obituary.
“I had a lot of pictures on the computer and some video on there also,” Chris said.
“Therefore, we now have no memories of our son — just a few pictures.
“We’ve lost all our memories
of our son. We’re devastated.”Chris said he’s hopeful the
computer will somehow be returned.
“We’re just hoping that somebody reads this and has some compassion,” he said.
“Without it, we’re just devas-tated. It’s brought everything to the surface again.
“It’s like reliving the death over again — such a loss.”
Chris is offering a $500 reward for the return of the laptop, a 17-inch 2008-model Toshiba, dark blue in colour with one broken clasp.
Anyone with information is asked to email Chris at [email protected].

MAX JMAIFFApril 20th, 1949 ~ September 28th, 2013
Max Jmaiff of Kamloops passed away on September 28th, 2013 at 64 years of age. Max is survived by his loving wife, Kathy Jmaiff, and daughter Lindsay Jmaiff. He is also survived by his brother Larry (Sylvia) Jmaiff, sister-in-law Vera Jmaiff, mother-in-law Margaret Henderson and many nieces, nephews and in-laws. Max is predeceased by his parents, William and Olga Jmaiff and brother Basil Jmaiff.
Max was born and raised in Grand Forks, BC. He left at an early age to begin his trucking career, working in various locations throughout the province. There wasn’t a
place in BC that Max didn’t run into someone he knew. He met his wife Kathy in Grand Forks and, shortly after, followed her to Kamloops where she was teaching. They were married August 16th, 1975 and recently celebrated their 38th wedding anniversary. Max was a long time Arrow employee. In the early nineties, Max ventured out to begin his own trucking business. With a cell phone permanently attached to his ear, he ran two companies. He was an employer who respected and cared for his employees. Max was an amazing father who said his greatest gift was the birth of his daughter, Lindsay. It was Max’s pleasure to watch his daughter grow into a successful and mature young lady. Max enjoyed golfi ng and socializing with his many great friends at local watering holes. He loved cooking Russian food and spent many enjoyable hours in his garden. Travelling with his family was a highlight, and he especially loved his times in Jamaica. He was a dedicated and hard worker who earned all of his successes in life. Max passed away suddenly on September 28th, after a very brief and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends and all whose lives he touched.
A Celebration of Life will take place at 2:00pm on Saturday, October 5th, 2013 in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel.
The family wishes to extend thanks to Dr. Wiltshire, palliative/hospice care, fi rst responders, family friends and business associates and a special thank you to Gloria Keogh for all her love and support.
In lieu of fl owers, donations in Max’s name may be made to the Kamloops SPCA or Kamloops Food Bank.

An estimated 3,000 women in B.C. this year will hear those words no one wants to hear — “You have breast cancer.”
They will be part of a national group of women that will total an estimated 23,800 who will listen to that diag-nosis this year.
Their odds of sur-vival, however, have improved dramatically since 1986, when the mortality rate in the country from the dis-ease hit its peak, said Elaine Webb, senior director of health pro-motion and communica-tions with the B.C. and Yukon branch of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
Dr. Sam Aparicio has played a large part
in that statistic.The doctor who
works with both the B.C. Cancer Agency and the University of British Columbia — where he holds an endowed chair for molecular-oncology research — changed the way breast cancer is viewed when he and his team identified 10 subtypes.
Originally, Webb said, breast cancer was seen as just one disease.
Research led to it being identified as involving four subtypes of the disease and now, with Aparicio’s discov-ery, further mapping of the genes that can cause breast cancer also bodes well for better treatment of it, she said.
Webb estimated the study that led to the discovery last year cost about $5 million and
took several years of investigation.
Not all the funding came from the founda-tion, but from a variety of sources coming together to help the Aparicio team to run a bit further in search of a cure.
His team also involved research partners, including the Manitoba Institute of Cell Biology and the Cambridge Research Institute in England.
It’s not the first time Aparicio has added to
the wealth of research being done on breast cancer. In 2009, his team showed how genome sequencing can be used to track how breast cancers evolve.
More-targeted treat-ments mean potentially better results, Webb said, and are what have made the outlook for someone diagnosed with breast cancer brighter.
Since the mortality peak in 1986, the rate has dropped by 42 per cent, Webb said, something
that can be attributed to several factors, including regular mammograms, healthier eating and better treatments.
In its 2009 report 2020: The Future Without Breast Cancer, the foundation quoted Dr. Simon Sutcliffe, then-president of the B.C. Cancer Agency, saying to meet the goal identified in the report, “we need knowledge from research that can help us identify who has micro-metastatic disease, who will bene-
fit from radiation thera-py, who has predictions for recurrence and pro-gression and who has aggressive disease.
“The current state of knowledge can only get us so far by 2020.”
Money raised in the foundation’s annual Run for the Cure, which takes place in Kamloops on Sunday, Oct. 6, goes to a variety of areas, including research.
The B.C./Yukon branch of the founda-tion does research at a variety of levels, from
students to doctors like Dr. Brad Nelson in Victoria, who is looking at vaccines being used to target the breast-cancer genome, and Dr. Paulos Teckle in Vancouver, who is studying the long-term income and employ-ment impact on breast-cancer survivors in the province.
There are many areas being studied, Webb said, and several specific projects being pursued.
One Aparicio has written about, and which the foundation sees as something to work toward, is creating a centre of excellence for research in breast can-cer, much like the B.C. Centre of Excellence in HIV/AIDS.
“Something like that would be lovely to see,” Webb said.

Christopher Nicolson knew the marketing strategy for summer at Sun Peaks worked almost immediately.
With a goal to draw people to the resort who might not normally drive up the mountain, the president of Tourism Sun Peaks said he knew from the number of winter bookings that followed two outdoor concerts this past sum-mer the goal had been met.
It’s a repeat from what they experienced last year, Nicholson said, after other musical concerts.
The campaign is now up for an award from the Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC) in its marketing campaign of the year category.
Other finalists include Lloyd Lake Lodge in Two Hills,
Alta., Tourism Calgary. Tourism Toronto and Tourism Whistler.
Another Kamloops-related business, Rocky Mountaineer, is a final-ist for employer of the year category.
Nicolson said his organization wanted to create a reason for peo-ple to visit Sun Peaks that went beyond the existing amenities, but that would also comple-ment them.
This summer’s two concerts — Burton Cummings and Colin James — included other musical acts that were layered in to highlight the entire community, he said.
The perfect experi-ence, Nicolson said, would be someone who booked a hotel room on the day of one of the concerts, had lunch on a patio, maybe played a round of golf or went on a canoe trek through nearby McGillivray Lake, enjoyed the
music, went back to their hotel room and booked a winter vaca-tion.
“And we know from the bookings that this is what is happening,” he said.
The awards will be presented in
early December.TIAC is the only
national organization that represents the country’s tourism indus-try.
It has more than 300 members and affiliates representing more than 1.6-million jobs.

Sun Peaks, Rocky Mountaineer nominated
There’s snow up there!There’s snow up there — way up there — but
it’s enough to have started the annual guessing game at Sun Peaks.
Christopher Nicolson, head of Tourism Sun Peaks, said there is about a 20-centimetre base started at the top of the mountain.
“And there’s some on the northeast side, as well, that we’re betting on,” Nicolson said.
“We do this every year. It normally teases us. It comes and goes and comes and goes, but I think it’s here to stay.”
A mid-November opening for the upcoming ski season is still expected.

I FEEL compelled to comment on the so-called Secular Charter being pro-
posed in Quebec, one that has been garnering headlines.
Of course there should not be any prob-lem with the notion of removing religious sym-bols of any kind from government offices and public buildings.
Having crucifixes or Stars of David hanging in courthouses and city halls is inappropriate.
We live in a secular society and religion-ists are free to believe anything they choose, but they should not expect their beliefs to be virtually promoted by employees of our government.
Dress codes are quite commonly enforced in workplaces with no complaint, so what seems to be the problem with the notion govern-ment employees should not be wearing religious symbols at work?
It is hardly an infringement on their freedom any more than telling them that they can’t wear Chanel No. 5, which, in many workplaces and public buildings is prohibited.
The rub seems to come when we are discussing the dress requirements of some religions that require women to cover them-selves completely or even partially.
I am talking about Islam and the long-practised tradition of women being treated much like chattel, with no rights and no free-dom to dress as they wish. The hijab and the burqa are the most obvi-ous examples of this.
In her article Hijab, The Illusion of Choice, Nudrrat Khawaja points out a few facts from a Muslim wom-an’s point of view that I found interesting and enlightening.
“Muslim states have a consensus that an unveiled or immodestly dressed woman tempts men to perform immor-al acts, thus branding her the source of cor-ruption in the society.
“Therefore, to save
the society from adul-tery and other evils of the flesh, women must be kept hidden, segre-gated and completely covered in public, so that they are not able to arouse the carnal desires of men.”
This is certainly not something I would think we want to pro-mote in Canada.
Khawaja goes on to write:
“On failure to abide by the order, women have been publicly flogged or stoned to death.
“Similar laws exist in Saudi Arabia, where the religious police charge women for not wearing hijab in public.
This leaves women with no choice but to comply with the laws of their state.
“Every voice raised against the blatant oppression of women has been silenced with equal force in these countries.
“The patriarchal laws of these states deem women unfit to exer-cise the right to choose what to wear or decline
to wear any particular form of clothing. “
Do Canadians really want to adopt this mindset in the name of multiculturalism?
I think not.In Canada, women
have rights equal to men and, if your reli-gion doesn’t see it that way, too bad.
You don’t get an exemption from human rights because of your religious beliefs.
It seems obvious to me that we do Muslim women a great service by prohibiting this kind of blatant oppression, not to mention the age-old tradition in some cultures of honour killing and forced mar-riage.
It also seems obvi-ous to me that Muslim women wearing this clothing is not a matter of free choice at all, but quite the opposite.
So, do we insist on freedom of religion even if that freedom represents the oppres-sion of women?
Or do we insist that women are free to choose what they want to wear, or not, and whom they wish to marry, or not, and on and on it goes?
If their religion required they be bound, gagged and handcuffed in public, would we be concerned?
Some folks have expressed the concern that if, in fact, the veil and the burqa were banned, these women
would not be allowed out of their homes.
Really?As far as I know,
that’s called forcible confinement and is against Canadian law.
So, really, let’s not get too carried away with defending so-called religious free-dom when it is really religious oppression in many cases.
The Secular Charter proposed in Quebec may not be the best solution, but requiring a dress code devoid of religious symbols in public while at work in the public service does not violate anyone’s freedom of religion — unless that religion demands its own dress code, and that is what seems oppressive to me.
This leaves women with no choice but to comply with the laws of their state.
Every voice raised against the blatant oppression of women has been silenced with equal force in these countries.
The patriarchal laws of these states deem women unfit to exer-cise the right to choose what to wear or decline to wear any particular form of clothing.

Canadian National has announced plans to start freight service on 75 per cent of the rail network oper-ated by bankrupt short-line Kelowna Pacific Railway (KPR).
CN will resume operations on 97 miles of track running from Campbell Creek, 10 miles east of Kamloops, to Vernon, the Lumby junction and Lumby.
CN will discontinue track KPR operated between the Lumby junction and Kelowna because of insuf-ficient freight traffic.
“I’m pleased to say that the parties were able to come together to assemble the right business and labour conditions to justify the resumption of rail traffic on the major portion of the KPR as well as a sizeable capital investment required to protect rail ser-vice in the region,” said Jim Vena, CN executive vice-president and chief operating officer.
“We are targeting the resumption of operations as soon as we can ensure the track is brought back to a standard to ensure safe train operations.”
This move comes after CN reached trustee, cus-tomer and labour agreements that support resumption of operations.
KPR, which leased its network from CN in 1999, entered receivership on July 5 and halted operations.
CN has reached agreements with the line’s trustee to take it out of the bankruptcy process; Tolko Industries., the main customer on the line; the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference; and TCRC-Maintenance of Way Employees Division.
The TCRC and TCRC-MWED represent 35 loco-motive engineers, conductors and track maintenance workers employed by the insolvent B.C. short-line railway.

TOURNAMENT WITH A CAUSEWith the inaugural Spike Pink Volleyball Challenge just around the corner, athletes from South Kamloops, Westsyde, Sa-Hali and Valleyview secondaries gathered for a press conference at Sa-Hali on Tuesday, Oct. 1. Clockwise, from left, are Erin Flanagan, Mieke DuMont, Jessica Venerao, Hannah McDonald, Brenna Worsfold, Keenan Degen, Ashley Evin, Alexa Kouroupis and Emily Bogstie. The goals of the event are to raise awareness of breast cancer and to showcase the local girls’ volleyball talent. Round-robin play runs from 1:30 p.m. to about 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 4. The junior and senior bronze-medal matches will be held at 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., respectively, on Saturday, Oct. 5, with the junior final set for 1 p.m. and the senior championship tilt to follow at 3 p.m. All games will be played at Sa-Hali.

with a calming noncha-lance, as if her brush with the deadly disease were akin to a cough that wouldn’t go away.
Perhaps it’s that attitude that helps her through tough times, many of which are still around the corner.
“They detected it in 2010 when I was 29 and getting an ultra-sound for my son,” said Becky, who, along with her fam-ily, will take part in a ceremonial puck-drop
when the Kamloops Blazers play the Prince George Cougars at Interior Savings Centre on Saturday, Oct. 5 — Safeway Breast Cancer Night.
“Sure enough, it was into surgery and into chemo. I had Luke and he came out with more hair than I did, the little bugger.”
Luke, now two, has a rare heart condition, not a by-product of Becky’s cancer or che-motherapy treatment, she said.
The multiple surger-ies in the little guy’s future are just another series of hurdles the family plans on jump-ing over.
“They didn’t want me to have Luke,” said Becky, who has another son, Braden, 9, and a husband, Jeff.
“They said, ‘Do you want to live for your child that you have now or do you not want to be around and try for this other baby?’
“But that’s not how we roll.
“Pregnancy is one thing, but then hav-ing four rounds of chemo and surgery, in hindsight, it was pretty exhausting. When you’re in the moment, though, you just do it.”
Becky seems to be through the worst and a healthy future now looks promising,
although “they don’t really say you’re can-cer-free until five years out,” she said.
The Westsyde sec-ondary graduate credits organizations such as the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation for helping her become educated about the dis-ease.
“Unfortunately, you fall through the cracks on certain things,” said Becky, a member of the Spirit Warriors dragon-boat team, comprised of breast-cancer survivors from the Tournament Capital.
“They told me about educating yourself and pushing for things like treatment.”
Now a communica-tions and promotions organizer for CIBC Run for the Cure, Becky is doing her part by tell-ing her story, raising breast-cancer awareness in the River City.
“When you’re 29, you don’t really think it’s going to be cancer and it doesn’t run in my family,” she said.
“Nobody in my fam-ily has cancer.
“For us, we stay pretty positive about our lives. We just keep trucking along.”

Students at Thompson Rivers University received the opportunity to network with employees from RBC at the second Business Kickstart 101 event on September 18.
Business Kickstart 101 is made up of 20 unique events that bring students and employers together for networking and learning opportunities.
RBC is Canada’s largest bank and has over 15 million clients worldwide.
Dave Maurer, Twyla Hartnell, Ryan Krisko, Char Muchipisi, Arthur Lin, Simon Boscariol and Dwight Harris, who are each RBC employees, took to the podium to talk about their different careers within the company. After their presentations, students were given one-on-one time with the employees to ask any questions they may have had about thebanking industry.
Maurer, a Branch manager in Kamloops and Chase, said RBC was very excited to participate in the event.
“TRU is an excellent resource,” said Maurer. “It produces top talent.”
The recurring message throughout the evening was the importance of working in an environment that ts with one’s values.
“ It’s important to align yourself with a company that has the same values you have,” said Maurer.
“People always talk about climbing the corporate ladder, but make sure you’ve leaned your ladder against the right wall.”
Each speaker let students know that mobility, transferable skills and networking are all key ingredients in having a successful career path.
“ Meet as many people as you can,” said Hartnell. “Network like crazy.”
The speakers also mentioned that RBC has a multitude of opportunities and that supports the growth of their employee’s careers.
Business student Shay Anderson said that she found the session very informative.
“ I liked how all the employees were really passionate about what they talked about,” said Anderson.

A wealthy socialite lies dead in an art gallery, and the only person who can get to the bottom of
her murder . . . doesn’t really want to.
Thompson Rivers University’s Actors Workshop Theatre channels film noir in George F. Walker’s Gossip, its first production of the 2013-2014 season.
Tyrone Power (played by Brooke
Ballam) is a serious political jour-nalist committed to exposing the worst actions of the government, no matter how depressing.
“He has a lot of pride in what he does and he doesn’t like to be talked down to,” Ballam said.
“But, he gets talked down to a lot.
“He doesn’t have a lot of power, even though that’s his name.
“It’s just a huge inferiority com-plex.”

The BC SPCA believes that if landlords were
aware of the signifi cant benefi ts of pet-friendly
housing, they would be more inclined to
offer it.One of the biggest
direct advantages of offering pet-friendly housing is increased rental income, since people with pets will pay 20 to 30% more
for housing.People with pets
also stay longer – an average of 46 months,
compared to 18 months for people without pets – saving landlords from having to spend time
advertising for, fi nding and screening new reliable tenants.

When his boss insists he try his hand at murder investigation in an effort to make his column more cheerful, Powers doesn’t exactly jump at the chance.
Nonetheless, the investigation kicks up a storm of intrigue, with Powers caught unhappily in the middle.
While Gossip offers the usual film noir conventions, Jessica Buchanan, who plays Powers’ ditzy gal-pal Margaret, said the play pushes the genre to its limits, giving the show an almost Monty Python feel at times.
“A lot of film noir, it’s kind of cheesy, the stuff they do,” she said.
“So, some of the actions some of the actors do are quite awk-
ward and silly so it’s a bit of a farce too.”
Then there’s the rest of the cast.
“There’s lawyers, there’s an acting coach, there’s Powers’ boss, this lady who has visions,” Buchanan said.
“There’s a lot of random dif-ferent characters you wouldn’t normally see in a play together.”
Also among the characters is a woman in a skintight black catsuit who is described as an “actress, sort of.”
KTW has been assured the catsuit is actually her least inter-esting costume.
“Everyone gets a huge moment, something where they’re the centre of attention onstage,” added Ballum.
“That doesn’t happen in
every play.”While Powers does eventually
crack the case, as with any good noir audiences shouldn’t expect to go home feeling everything is neatly wrapped up, Ballum said.
“They’ll probably walk away going ‘what just happened’?” he said.
“Not just like, what just hap-pened, I want my money back — I don’t know what just happened but I think I like it.”
Gossip runs Oct. 10 to Oct. 12 and 17 to 19 at the Thompson Rivers University Black Box Theatre at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are available through the Actors Workshop Theatre box office at 250-337-6100 or at the Kamloops Live Box office at 250-374-5483 or online at kamloopslive.ca.

3 to 4 tbsps. vegetable oil4 fresh organic chicken breasts, skinned10 large white mushrooms, sliced6 shallots, peeled and sliced1 cup fortified wine (Sherry, Madeira, Marsala)1 cup organic chicken stock1 1/2 tbsps. cornstarch mixed with a little cold water1/2 cup whipping cream1/3 cup finely chopped parsleyFlaked kosher salt/freshly ground pepper
Lightly season chicken breast on both sides with salt and pepper.
In a large non-stick pan, heat about one Tbsps. of the oil over high heat. Sear chicken breasts on both sides, then remove to a bak-ing dish that has a fitted lid.
Into the same pan, add another Tbsps. oil. Sear (brown quickly) shallots. Remove from pan, set aside. Heat a little more oil, then add mushrooms, and when mushrooms begin to lose their water, add shallots back in. Add one cup fortified wine, and allow to simmer briskly until liquid is reduced by three quarters.
Pour contents of pan over chicken. Bake in at 350 F oven for 35 minutes or more, until chicken is cooked. Remove dish from oven. Remove chicken from dish, and then into the sauce stir the cornstarch. Add cream and parsley. Season to taste. Serve chicken with buttered egg noodles, slathered in sauce.
IT’S NEARLY SUPPER-time when a double chirp alerts me to an incoming text from my BFF of over
20 years, from back when tinned mushroom soup thinned with a little milk was considered haute home cuisine.
“Is there a way to tell if chicken is still OK to cook?” she writes.
Now, being of the if-you-have-to-ask school of thought when it comes to iffy poultry, I’m desperate to tell her to dump the whole tray pack, then give her the number of our favourite pizza place.
I know my friend, though.With $30 of chicken breasts
on the line, she won’t be so eas-ily moved.
And, short of driving to the outskirts of the city to smell the meat myself, there’s not much I can do except type
her through this.“Just how old is this
bird?” I write back.Twenty minutes
pass in silence and, while I imagine her getting her kids set up with their home-work then loading the dishwasher so she has some room to prepare tonight’s dinner, I also imagine colonies of salmonella dividing and multiplying in the interim.
“I don’t think the bird’s so old,” she replies.
“It was maybe in the fridge for a day and then I froze it . . . then thawed it on counter . . . but didn’t get chance to cook it, so put it back in fridge. I don’t think it ever entirely thawed.”
I put my phone down, pluck a slightly overbaked banana muffin from a sealed no-name
baggie she sent home with me recently, and cringe.
“Sounds suspicious to me,” I type.
“I say toss it. But, since I already know you won’t take my word for it and, if it wasn’t thawed with a hairdryer and the chicken smells fine, it probably, maybe, per-haps, is fine.”
“Well, it has a bit of a sweet smell,” she wrote back.
“What is a ‘fine’ smell for chicken?”
Although I want to say chick-en should smell like chicken, I ask, “Does the sweet smell make you feel gaggy?”
I’m imagining her entire family of four in the ER later tonight, barfing while getting continually triaged to the back
of the line.“Sweet can be the beginning
of decomposition,” I add. “Or possibly it’s all the salt
and sugar water they pump into chickens these days to plump them.”
Even before I press send, I know shouldn’t have offered an alternative theory.
“New rule,” I interject, quick as I can.
“If in doubt, throw it out. Being violently ill isn’t as fun as advertised.”
“Hm.”“Hm?”“I’m just not there yet.”“OK. If you’re confident the
chicken’s never been warm, hasn’t been laying about under a sunlamp for a worrisome length of time, then use rule No. 3, which is to cook that bird ‘til it’s dead.”
“Hm.”
“OK, let’s try again. “Does the smell make you
think of those chickens on TV that are always trying to pretend they’re from Foster Farms?”
“It kinda makes me feel quea-sy when I really sniff it.”
By now I’m laughing, but have the sense to type, “Toss it! Toss it now!”
Silence.“Or, you could run to a
neighbour for an impartial sniff.”“Good idea!” she writes —
and I can already imagine the look on her neighbour’s face.
But, before she’s across the lawn with her suspect chicken, she stops and adds, “Wish you were the neighbour.”

EATING LOCAL SEEMS TO BE ON the tip of everyone’s tongue these days, and for good reason.
As we learn more about our fragile food system, it is important for us to know where our food comes from. Supporting our local grow-ers is key to our sustainability.
For new and nursing mothers, eating local can take on a new meaning. Infants have an amazing wisdom in knowing where to source out the best possible nutrition for their growth and develop-ment.
Newborns placed on their mother’s tummy will make their way to their mother’s breast.
Breastfeeding helps bonding and closeness between mom and baby.
The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a baby’s life, then continued breastfeeding with the addition of complementary foods for two years and beyond. Local community efforts are needed to support these international recom-mendations.
In Kamloops, our local community has many supports in place for new parents wanting to establish a healthy feeding relationship.
The Kamloops Health Unit hosts the Breast Feeding Centre at 519 Columbia Street.
Drop-in hours are Mondays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon.
Call 250-851-7300 for more information. And, every year, to further support and cele-
brate breastfeeding in our community, Kamloops breastfeeding moms and babies gather to join in the worldwide challenge for the most children breastfeeding at the same time in one location.
Mark your calendar for the Breastfeeding Celebration 2013 coming to Kamloops on Saturday, Oct. 5.
This celebration will be held at St. Paul’s Cathedral, 360 Nicola St.
Registration is at 10:30 a.m. and latch-on time is 11 a.m.
This fun celebration is an opportunity to join together and take action to raise public awareness about the importance of breastfeeding. Come out and take part in the event. Refreshments and draw prizes are provided.
For more information about the global breast-feeding challenge, go online to babyfriendly.ca or call 250-851-7362.

FAITH
Inspecteur Cloiseaux of the Values Police“Inspecteur
Cloiseaux! Let me introduce
your new partner — Etienne Thibodeau. It’s his first day, so I expect you to show him the ropes.”
“Oui, capitaine. It’ll be my pleasure.
“So, Etienne, first day on the job, eh? Ready to make sure those ethniques don’t get away with flaunt-ing our pur laine val-ues? You can call me Jacques.”
“Thanks, Jacques. I admit I’m a little ner-vous, but I know we have an important job to do.”
“Certainement. I was one of the first ones hired here and my cita-tion record is second to none. You are lucky to be assigned to me. So, are you ready, got your camera, your ruler?”
“My ruler?”“Mon Dieu, you are
such a rookie!
“Your ruler, your ruler! So you can mea-sure the crosses and Star of Davids to make sure they aren’t too big.”
“Oh right. I thought I would get one here.”
“Unbelievable! Here, I have a few spares. Don’t go any-where without it.”
“So, where is our first assignment today?
“There’s a day care on Rue Tremblay.
“We’ve received a report of a large crucifix being worn by one of the workers.
“Rookies ride in the
passenger seat.”“Hey, Jacques. Look
at that guy on the back of the city garbage truck. Isn’t that a big cross on the back of his vest?”
“Tabernac! Good eye, Etienne. Put on the siren! Tell you what, you can make your first collar.”
“Gee, thanks, Jacques.
“Monsieur! It seems you are in violation of the new Charter of Values law.”
“What? How?”“Your vest. ‘Bikers
for Jesus’ with the big cross in the centre.
“It must be at least 14 centimetres high.
“That is unaccept-able. You are a public employee and not per-mitted to wear large religious symbols. I’ve taken your picture and one of your vest. You will receive a citation by mail shortly.
“And take that thing off immediately!”
“Good work, Etienne. I’m impressed. I think you’ll fit in well here.”
“Thanks, Jacques. We just can’t have gar-bage collectors wearing stuff like that where everyone can see it.”
“For sure, for sure. Just last week I gave a citation to a Sikh guy X-ray technician at the hospital. Imagine think-ing he can give X-rays wearing that turban.
“He refused to take it off, so the hospital fired him. Pretty soon we’ll get rid of all of them — and not a moment too soon.”
“It looks like this is the day care. You want I should do this one, too?”
“No, no. My turn. Ah, there she is over by the swing set. Madame, a moment please. Your crucifix — a bit large, wouldn’t you say?”
“Well, perhaps, mon-sieur. But it was my grandmother’s.
“She wore it every day and willed it to me when she passed. I wear it to honour her memory.”
“Hmm. A touching story, but my little ruler here says it is one centi-metre too large.
“Completely unac-ceptable. If you wish, I have some metal snips to bring it into compli-ance.”
“What?! But, there are four rubies on the ends. That would ruin it!”
“Madame, you have three choices: Keep on wearing it and look for another job; take it off and leave it in your drawer; or submit to the snip.
“Oh, madame, stop your snivelling. Tears do not move Inspecteur Cloiseaux.
“Well? Ah, taking it off. A good choice, madame. Let’s not see this happen again.
“There, Etienne.“See how it’s done?
“You can’t let the sentimental stories and tears get to you.”
“Say, Jacques. Look at that janitor over there — his arm.”
“Sacre bleu! That tattoo of the vir-gin Mary is huge! Monsieur! Monsieur!
“A moment, please. Your tattoo. Are you aware that is a violation of the Values Charter?”
“Violation? But it’s my skin! I prayed to the Virgin when my mother was dying and the doc-tors say it was a miracle she recovered. That’s when I got the tattoo.”
“Well, well. You see, Inspecteur Thibodeau. Another touching story.
“You’re going to have to cover that thing up. Much too large for a worker in a public insti-tution, even a janitor in a day care. Long sleeves or unemployment. Take your pick, monsieur.”
“But ,it’s 30 degrees. I always work in a T-shirt when it’s this hot.”
“Not anymore. “We’ll be back —
and you won’t know when. That tattoo had better be covered up or it’s EI for you.
“But, I’m a fair man. Here’s a list of facilities offering laser-tattoo removal. A la prochaine, monsieur.”
“Wow. I didn’t think we’d be going after tat-toos.”
“No exceptions, my rookie friend, no excep-tions.”
(Attention! Attention! All units respond. Public demon-stration at the univer-site. Two-dozen profes-seurs with large yellow Stars of David sewn to their jackets marching down the street.)
“Sacrement! Hit the lights and siren, Etienne. Today is your lucky day!”
