‘HE’S A COWARD HIDING BEHIND A BADGE’ Inquest into fatal shooting gets off to an emotional start

Teen pleads guilty to arson in ﬁre that killed family dog By Tim Petruk tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A teenaged boy has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a North Kamloops arson that killed a family pet. The 15-year-old, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, entered guilty pleas to two charges — arson and break-andenter — in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday, May 10. On April 12, emergency crews were called to a home in the 600block of Clearwater Avenue on the North Shore for a reported fire in a duplex. The blaze was contained to one room in the home’s basement. No people were home at the time, but a family dog died in the fire. Kamloops RCMP arrested the 15-yearold five days later and he has been in custody since. At the time of the

The family of a man shot and killed by Kamloops Mounties nearly two years ago is upset one of the officers involved in the fatal incident wasn’t present to testify at the coroner’s inquest looking into the death. Wilbert Bartley, 50, was fatally shot by Kamloops RCMP Const. Clay Kronebusch on July 30, 2010 outside a North Kamloops gas station. The inquest into his death began in the Kamloops Law Courts on Monday, May 14. “The family came 3,000 miles to be here,” said Anne Cochrane, Bartley’s sister, who travelled from Owen Sound, Ont., with her mother and sister to take in the proceedings. “He lives here. Why can’t he be here?” Cochrane was talking about Kamloops RCMP Const. Mark Freeman — Kronebusch’s partner on the day of the shooting — who was not present to testify. Instead of in-person testimony, the two-man, threewoman jury was shown a video-recording of an interview with Freeman taped at an earlier date. No reason was given for Freeman’s absence, other than the fact he was “unavailable.” During a coroner’s inquest, the jury is allowed to ask questions of a witness after he or she provides testimony. Following Kronebusch’s examination by lawyers, he was peppered with about a dozen questions from jurors — at least two of whom appeared unhappy with his explanation of the events. Because Freeman’s testimony was taped, no follow-up questions were asked by the jury. That’s not sitting well with Bartley’s family. “In our minds, a crime was committed and our brother was killed,” said Wanda Doubt, the other Bartley sibling in attendance.

arrest, police would not comment on the crime, other than to say a suspect was in custody — someone they believed to be “a risk to the public.” The circumstances of the offence have yet to be made public, but Crown prosecutor Iain Currie described the incident as “a serious offence.” Kamloops provincial court judge Stephen Harrison ordered the teen to undergo a psychiatric assessment prior to sentencing. That process is expected to take six weeks. Lawyers will meet later this month to fix a date for a sentencing hearing, which is expected to take place late next month. The blaze was one of more than 50 suspicious fires in Kamloops in the last year. Police would not comment on whether they believe the 15-year-old is responsible for any other arsons. This Clearwater Avenue resident’s dog was killed in an April 12 arson strike. A 15-year-old boy has admitted to starting the fire. KTW file photo

He went bump in the night — twice

Overpass will remain closed By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It will be at least two weeks until the Tranquille Road overpass reopens to traffic, after it was struck on Friday, May 11, by a truck hauling an excavator. Jim McNeely, the city’s street and internal services manager, said crews are still studying the damage, but it appears to be “pretty significant.” The overpass has been shut down since Friday afternoon and will stay blocked off until repairs are completed. McNeely said crews will have to chip out loose concrete around the crack where the excavator hit, then reform the bent rebar underneath. “Fortunately, no actual rebar was broken. It was only bent,” he said. “So, we don’t have to replace any of that or do the extra amount of work that’s required for that.” Workers will then pour in new concrete, which needs at least seven days to cure before it’s strong enough

to bear traffic. Early estimates put the cost of repairs at $75,000. It’s not yet clear whether the driver who hit the overpass will foot some of the bill. “That’ll be up to ICBC to decide,” McNeely said. “We have a claim filed with them and their investigation will show what they feel the cause was and they’ll parcel out the costs accordingly.” The city is installing a temporary advance green light north of the overpass — at the corner of Fortune Drive and Leigh Road — in an effort to ease congestion while the pass is shuttered. McNeely said traffic in the area was fine over the weekend, but the real test would be weekday afternoon rush hours. “Hopefully, people will be somewhat courteous and either spread themselves out or turn at opportune moments,” McNeely said. “But, by and large, people will go where they want to go.”

He was trampled by a Dodge Caravan. And trampled once more. He was then flattened by a fence. Eventually, he was found by police and treated in hospital — but he leaves behind the mystery of how and why he ended up being a human speed bump. The bizarre incident began at about 11:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 13, when the 38-year-old man was run over twice on a Sudbury Avenue driveway on the North Shore. The driver told police he was backing his 2003 Dodge Caravan out of the carport when he felt the rear of the van go over something. He pulled forward, thinking he had backed over one of his children’s toys and felt the van go over something again. When he got out of the vehicle to investigate, the driver found a man under his van, with his foot caught under a tire. The driver called 911, which only agitated the man trapped under the Caravan. He was agitated enough to free his foot and attempt to flee, much to the confusion of the driver. Cut and limping noticeably, the human speedbump took off running — only to slam into a nearby fence. Like a lacerated Lazarus, he rose again and limped away, down an alley. When Mounties arrived as a result of the 911 call, they learned a man had been spotted in the backyard if a house at Sudbury Avenue and 10th Street. Off they ran, spotting their punished prey when he popped his head up from some bushes. The human speed bump then started running/limping again. Two officers ran after him, over five fences and through four backyards, all while asking him to stop running and to get some medical help as he had not committed any crimes of which Mounties were aware. Finally, the human speedbump stopped. He reclined on the ground and waited to be treated by paramedics. While waiting for paramedics, officers determined, not surprisingly, the man who withstood Caravan crushings, a fence flogging and a bunch of running with a limp, had had a lot to drink and may have partaken in a Sunday-night drug diet. In the end, the human speedbump was treated at Royal Inland Hospital for injuries incurred after being run over and for cuts and scrapes suffered while scampering through the bushes and yards in the neighborhood. What remains, however, is the mystery of why the man was under the Dodge Caravan at eleven-thirty at on a Sunday night in the first place.

Juror takes issue with $ $ Everything must go! ofﬁcer’s statement $ X From A1

“Freeman was an accessory and he should have been here,” Doubt said. Both officers were cleared of any criminal responsibility for Bartley’s death when the Crown decided not to pursue charges. Kronebusch testified he and Freeman were driving down Tranquille Road in an unmarked police van at about 6 p.m. on July 30, 2010, when Freeman spotted Bartley outside the Robo Esso station. Freeman, who was behind the wheel of the van, pulled a U-turn and drove into the Esso parking lot, the jury heard, to speak with Bartley about an old file. The van pulled in next to a black Toyota 4-Runner SUV Bartley was driving and Kronebusch said he got out to speak with the man — who appeared to be acting “erratically.” The jury heard Freeman then pulled the police van in behind Bartley. The 4-Runner reversed, colliding with the police van. Bartley’s vehicle then lurched forward and Kronebusch fired three shots — each striking Bartley in the head. The SUV wound up plowing into the front window of a coffee shop next door to the gas station and Bartley was pronounced dead about 30 minutes later. Bartley was not wanted on any warrants and Kronebusch testified he was “free to leave” at any time. One of the jurors took issue with that statement, asking why the police van was pulled in behind Bartley’s vehicle. “The only reason I could think

was he [Freeman] was trying to give me some room to get out of there,” Kronebusch replied. The juror then said she was confused by the situation and left wondering who was at fault for the initial collision — Freeman or Bartley. Outside of court, the family questioned Kronebusch’s testimony that he decided not to provide first aid to Bartley after the shooting, even though he is certified to do so. Under oath, Kronebusch said he “didn’t consider it” because Bartley appeared to be dead or near death after the SUV went through the coffee shop window. Kronebusch did, however, reach into the 4-Runner to turn the vehicle off. “The window [of the coffee shop] was hanging down and I thought it posed a great danger,” he said. “I decided to wait for EHS [ambulance].” In earlier testimony, Kronebusch said his “main concern” was his own personal safety — thinking Bartley might run him down with the SUV. “He’s a coward,” Doubt told KTW. “It’s all about him. ‘I didn’t want to go check his pulse because I was scared.’ “He’s a coward hiding behind a badge.” The inquest was originally slated to run all week, but is now expected to wrap up as soon as today (May 15). At its conclusion, the jurors will have the opportunity to present recommendations aimed at preventing similar incidents in the future.

Taxi stands will cater to downtown bar crowd By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Getting a late-night taxi in downtown Kamloops will soon be a matter of waiting in line. In about two weeks, the city will announce a series of measures aimed at getting people out of the downtown core after bars close. Among these measures are four new taxi stands, which will operate between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. Jon Wilson, community safety and enforcement manager for the city, told KTW the locations for the stands have already been chosen, but he wouldn’t release them before the full strategy launches. Wilson said the stands, which won’t be located directly in front of evening hotspots, will be well-lit

and will be easy for cabs to enter and exit. The city’s co-ordinated enforcement task force has been working on the bar-flush program for several months and hopes to cut down on after-hour property damage and violence in the core. Wilson said taxi stands have worked well in other communities, but are just one of several initiatives to be unveiled in the coming weeks. “Right now, what happens is people are hailing the cabs or stopping them and the cabs aren’t actually getting to the destination they need to be in order to pick up people and move them out of the downtown,” he said. “It’s trying to make sure everything’s centralized, so people can catch a taxi when they want to get out of Dodge, versus hanging around and being part of the problem.”

Assault on nurse leads to chase and arrest A 23-year-old male with a history of violence is facing charges after a nurse was choked and her security card stolen at the Hillside Psychiatric Centre on Sunday night (May 13). The 37-year-old nurse was not seriously injured in the assault. Police were called to the centre, next to Royal Inland Hospital, and a Mountie found the man in the Peterson Creek area near a wooden bridge. He elbowed an officer in the head as the Mountie tried to take him to her cruiser, then ran into the creek trails. A perimeter was set up and a police tracking dog was brought in to help in the search. Shortly thereafter, a resident in the 600-block of Battle Street told police a man had walked across

his backyard. The police dog was taken to the area and sniffed out the suspect, who was arrested on St. Paul St.. He was scheduled to appear in B.C. provincial court on Monday, May 14, while Mounties recommended he be taken to the Forensic Psychiatric Center in Port Coquitlam for an assessment. The man had been recently transferred to the Hillside Psychiatric Center from Vernon Jubilee Hospital due to his increasing violence and aggression. He still faces criminal charges in the North Okanagan community after two Vernon RCMP officers were assaulted while responding to a disturbance call at the Vernon hospital.

Seniors centre wants reason for funding rejection By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

City officials will be working with members of the Centre for Seniors Information to help it find funding. Jennifer Casorso, the city’s community and social-development supervisor, said she has sent a letter to executive director Brenda Prevost following a decision by council to reject an application from the centre for funding. Prevost said she had applied for a $50,000 grant from the city under its service-agreement pro-

gram, money she said is needed to provide some stability for the organization while it shores up donations. With a new activity centre open in Brocklehurst and a membership of about 400 seniors, Prevost said the grant would have provided something to rely on as she approached corporations and other organizations for sponsorship. “It’s going to take some time to build up awareness of this and time to add to our revenue,” Prevost said, “and I thought the city would see the value in what we [seniors] contribute to our community.”

Casorso said the timing was wrong for the application, which came in after the city had completed its budgeting process for the next fiscal year. She added it would have been better if the centre had worked with the city when it was developing, designing and building its new facility so city staff could see “how it relates to the rest of our recreational facilities.” Prevost hopes to attend council with other seniors in coming weeks to ask why the application was rejected. “Because we do as much as the next organization.”

Aberdeen public hearing tonight A public hearing set for tonight is expected to generate some heat as a controversial 64-unit housing development next to Aberdeen elementary comes up for discussion. Developers Craftsman Ventures wants the 2.23-hectare lot at 2171 Van Horne Dr. rezoned for multifamily use. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently zoned for a church. The proposed project would include a mix of duplexes and triplexes, as well as a four-storey apartment building. However, many in the area are resistant to the plan, which they say doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit the character of the neighbourhood and could cause further water issues for those below the development. In one of a dozen submissions against

CITY HALL the project sent to the city, Edly and Vivian Phillips said they bought their Van Horne Drive home in part because they might some day be able to attend church in their neighbourhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only are we flabbergasted about the proposed rezoning, but shocked about the developersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; multifamily proposal, which flies in the face of the character of the existing single-family residences,â&#x20AC;? they wrote. Only one neighbour has written in to support the project. Dan Knecht said he is confident city staff will address groundwater, view and traffic issues in the area, and is in favour of the

development.

Tranquille on the Lake on agenda An ambitious farmbased housing project at the site of the former tuberculosis sanatorium on Tranquille Road is back at Kamloops city council this week. Tranquille on the Lake developer BC Wilderness Tours Inc. is asking council to send a revamped neighbourhood plan for the village-style development to public hearing. The new document would replace an outdated land-use plan from 2008 and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include an 18-hole golf course that was originally included in the site plan. If built, Tranquille on the Lake would have up to 2,000 units of permanent and vacation housing built around a working farm. The farm is already

in operation, with market sales beginning on May 26. The first 50 stalls of a 115-unit RV park also slated for the site are expected to open in 2013.

Will they light up their lives? Kamloops council will decide today if it can find $365,000 to upgrade 1,000 streetlights along Tranquille Road and in the Aberdeen, Batchelor Heights, Juniper Ridge and Lower Sahali neighbourhoods. According to a staff report, the refitted LED lights would use adaptive-dimming technology, meaning the level of light they provide could be changed at any time of day by the city. Streetlights now run at full power from dusk to dawn. The refitted lights would also use less

power and need replacing less often. Staff say the new lights would pay for themselves in 6.2 years. Upgrading the lights would cost $780,000 overall, but the city has $415,000 in grants from BC Hydro and the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Innovative Clean Energy Fund. The refit wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t included in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget talks and staff are suggesting the city dip into last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surplus to cover the project. To hold onto the cash, the city must commit to the project by June 30.

Baha’i to explain persecution in Iran By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Baha’i community of Kamloops will host an information session on Wednesday, May 16, on the state of their co-religionists in Iran. The people of the Baha’i faith have been persecuted since the revolution of 1979, when the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran came to power. The group says that, over time, persecution of the Baha’i people in Iran has intensified, with more than 100 Baha’i now in jail due to their religion. Three-hundred others are awaiting trial, appeals or sum-

mons to serve their sentences, according to John Sargent, a member of the Baha’i community of Kamloops. Others, he said, are denied jobs and business licences. This month marks the fourth anniversaries of the arrests of six of seven members on the governing council of Iran’s Baha’i community, multiple students and staff from the Baha’i’s Institute of Higher Education and the raids of 39 Iranian homes. Sargent hopes Wednesday’s meeting will keep the issue fresh in the minds of the public. “We’re afraid that, if this is allowed to proceed in secrecy, that there will be a general

genocide of the Baha’is in Iran,” Sargent said. “So, it’s our intention to keep the attention of the world focused on this issue, so as to prevent the Iranian authorities from acting with impunity against our community there.” Wednesday’s meeting will provide an update on the situation in Iran, along with background information and responses from other countries, human-rights groups and educational institutions. The meeting will be held in room 1010 of the International Building at Thompson Rivers University. It begins at 5 p.m. and runs to 6:30 p.m. All are welcome to attend.

MOM’S WORTH A FORTUNE Dara Sheppard gets some help from her aunt Jana with making a Mother’s Day fortune cookie for her mother. Inside the fortune cookie was a very special message for her lucky mom. Dara’s hard work was done on Saturday, May 12, during the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association’s Live Madness Spring Festival, which featured artists, musicians, clowns, mascots, a pedestrian promenade, children’s activities and a very special Mother’s Day tea.

In the end, bottom line on Ajax is having faith

F YOU HAPPENED TO HAVE been a first-time visitor to Kamloops and stumbled into ballroom A of the Kamloops Convention Centre last Thursday, you would have assumed Kamloops is a very satisfied Interior B.C. hub of the mining industry — a hub that will only grow as the years progress. Last week was Mining Week in B.C. and all things mining were celebrated across Kamloops, from a popular Mining Day event on the weekend at the Big Little Science to Thursday’s gathering in Ballroom A at the convention centre. There, the Mining Association of Canada and the Mining Association of B.C. hosted a luncheon at which the presidents and CEOs of each association spoke with passion about their industry, advancing the persuasive argument the extraction of copper and gold and everything in-between has been instrumental in shielding the province and the country from the harsher effects of the lingering recession. The mining industry never shies away from reminding the public of the enormous impact mineral extraction has on our day-to-day life. From cellphones to eyeglasses to hockey sticks to vehicles to windmills to batteries to televisions to sunscreen — so many products in our lives would disappear if not for the mining industry. Those connected to the vocation — such as Mining Association of Canada president and CEO Pierre Gratton and Mining Industry of B.C. president and CEO Karina Brino — will bang home that message again and again and again because they need to do so. They need to do this constantly because their industry is booming and, with the boom comes more mines. With more mines comes potential sites that create instant conflict with First Nations (see Prosperity near Williams Lake), potential sites that many see as being far too close to home (see Ajax right here in Kamloops) and operating sites that transform the economy of a town and

region (see Copper Mountain near Princeton). Nobody in Kamloops using a mining-dependent cellphone or a mining-dependent leather jacket or a mining-dependent necklace gives a second thought to the industry that makes those products possible. Though the New Afton mine 10 kilometres west of Kamloops and Highland Valley Copper another 70

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS kilometres away employ many in the Tournament Capital, the operations of each project are hardly given a second thought — out of sight and out of mine and all that. The proposed Ajax project, though, is a different animal altogether. If opponents of the proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen had attended Thursday’s luncheon (and some may have), I do not think they would have questioned the commitment to environmental sustainability espoused by Gratton and Brino. I do not think they would have conjured up any cynicism when listening to Dennis Wilson speak of his work as environmental specialist at New Afton. Wilson has come from Australia to work at his craft at New Afton and spoke of how traditional mining practices in his home country had him lessthan-impressed — until he began working for a company that viewed how it treated the environment as important as how it treated the bottom line on the balance sheet. I think even the most ardent opponent of Ajax would have commended

Wilson’s viewpoint and commitment to the cause. I think they would also agree on the importance the industry has on each and every household’s economic well-being. However, as many opponents of Ajax have repeated — the opposition is not to mining; it is to the location of this particular mine. Gratton spoke glowingly and excitedly about Kamloops positioning itself as the “hub” of mining in the Interior, with the city poised to not only be a base for miners, but for companies and employees involved in myriad miningsupply endeavours. That vibrant business activity will mean little if Ajax opens and creates misery for the city in the form of dust and noise and various other problems cited by those opposed. Gratton said Ajax proponents will be able to mitigate dust and noise issues and suggested residents won’t notice the Ajax operation as much as they expected to, if it indeed gets approval to proceed. In a nutshell, opponents do not believe the mine can be operated without impacting the health and quality of life of Kamloops residents; proponents disagree. The bottom line isn’t environmentalassessments reviews. It isn’t information at open houses. It isn’t site specifics put forth on tours of the property. It isn’t the opinions of experts as they pass through town to opine on Ajax. It isn’t the goodwill advertising Ajax has purchased throughout Kamloops (KGHM Ajax is plastered on the boards at Interior Savings Centre and on the walls of McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. KGHM Ajax is also one of seven sponsors of the B.C. Lions training camp in the city). The bottom line is faith. If the project proceeds, there is nothing more to grasp than faith that the mine operates in the manner predicted by those in the industry. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com twitter.com/ChrisJFoulds

There are some, including Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger, who would not be opposed to having the B.C. Liberals change their name. Some say the name — which has been in place since the party was founded in 1903, but which for this particular government can be traced back to 1991, when thenleader Gordon Wilson rescued the party from obscurity — is confusing to some centre-right voters, now that the B.C. Conservatives have surged to solid thirdparty status. The argument centres around federal Conservatives having a hard time voting B.C. Liberal in the 2013 election. Last month, the NDP won two B.C. byelections, in ChilliwackHope and Port Moody-Coquitlam. The Liberals came second in both, the Conservatives third. The Liberals fear more votesplitting in the general election, but changing the party’s name won’t prevent that. Doing so would seem even more confusing to voters, which may be the point. It’s easy to see why the Liberals would want to rebrand the party, distance itself from past scandals and failures and try to reverse falling popularity. Whatever the Liberals come up with — the B.C. Alliance Party is being floated — it’s still the same cast of characters who brought you the B.C. Rail and HST fiascoes. Whether or not Kevin Falcon and other cabinet ministers run again isn’t going to change that. And, changing the party’s name, to something more progressive, won’t erase the past or fool many. B.C. doesn’t need a new centreright party as it already has two. The B.C. Conservatives beat the Liberals to the punch. Trying to decide between the two is what’s confusing. Are the Liberals about families or business? A tiger can’t change its stripes. Changing the party’s name is just painting over them. As long as the B.C. Conservatives are around, the right will be split. And, that’s what the NDP is counting on.

THIS WEEK Speak up You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Bass columns: It’s time we removed stigma from mental-health illness: “Months ago, while sitting in Royal Inland Hospital, waiting to deal with a 15-yearold’s serious mentalhealth issue, I found mental health was at the bottom of the triage chain. “I was really disappointed in the system and upset that a small stitch or a person with the flu was more important. “This child was in crisis. “After a four-tofive-hour wait, we were told we could leave her in a prisontype, full-on psych room in emergency because there are only two beds in the hospital for youth with mental-health issues. “We ended up leaving and taking the child home to try to deal with it ourselves. “We were given a psychologist appointment scheduled for one week later. “That was not fine. Mental health needs more of the budget!” — posted by Teresa Wallace

War mentality must be understood Editor: I am sorry! I am sorry! I realize that by today’s standards, the internment of Japanese during the Second World War was wrong, but must I continually have to apologize for the actions of my father or grandfather? What was done has been done, but no one under the age of 70 has any idea of the mentality of being at war. I don’t mean a war like we have our soldiers involved in Afghanistan. That in itself has been terrible. I’m talking about a war in which some of our men were away from home for five years or more. Have you ever knocked on

your buddy’s door to walk to school, only to find his family had just received notice his brother had been killed in the war? Have you ever seen a mother who couldn’t recognize her son when he stepped off the train because of his injuries? Have you ever found out the local lacrosse star was never coming home from the war? Have you ever offered up prayers each night that your big brother would make it home safely? It seemed to go on forever. I could go on and on to try to make everyone understand the mentality of everyone when at war. It was one of desperation, of hoping every day it would soon

be over. It was praying the young man from down the street or the son of a friend at work would finally come home safely. This was war and nobody who hasn’t lived through it can tell me how it felt and what it did to your feelings toward your fellow man. So, yes, I am sorry for some of the actions taken during the war but, unless you were there, you have no idea why it all happened. I’m sorry if I stepped on anybody’s toes and offended, but for years I have wanted to tell the other side of the story. Thank you. John E. McCannel Kamloops

SHOVELLING FOR SENIORS Friday’s (May 11) groundbreaking marked the start of construction of Kamloops’ newest care facility for seniors, located in Brocklehurst, next to RiverBend on Tranquille Road. Taking part were Buron Healthcare Group president Mary McDougall (left), Environment Minister Terry Lake, Deborah Smith of the Interior Health Authority, Kamloops Coun. Nelly Dever and Interior Health Authority board director David Gillespie. Dave Eagles/KTW

Advertising needs to be labelled Editor: Re: The Mining Week advertising supplement in the May 7 edition of Kamloops This Week. I was disappointed that the supplement was presented with the appearance of a journalistic production prepared by Kamloops This Week. I am aware the supplement was paid for as advertising by KGHM and Abacus. I believe good editorial policy would be to inform readers about the identity of advertising supplements and the parties who pay for them. I know KGHM has a history of presenting inadequate factual information and too much bogus promotional disinformation. Clearly, the advertising supplement is promotional disinformation designed to appear like credible journalism. Unless Kamloops This Week wishes to be seen as shills for KGHM and Abacus, I suggest future advertisements be labelled as such, much as is done in major newspapers of record. John Lawrence Kamloops

Exes need not be excommunicated from lives of children Editor: I think it’s high time someone thanks all the exes out there who have always put their children’s best interests first,

by allowing them to continue contact with their ex and their ex’s family. Having the security of their other parent, as well as that of their

grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, has a major psychological impact on children. It’s a major support system children have

had — and have loved and trusted. These children will appreciate this selfless act by their parent, once they’re older. Thank you, on

behalf of the families, but mainly on behalf of the innocent children. Diane Czyzewski Kamloops

Fire bans begin today Summer must be near. Today (May 15), fire prohibitions come into effect for much of the Kamloops Fire Centre — a huge geographical area stretching from the U.S. border to Wells Gray Park. The ban takes effect at noon on Tuesday, May 15, and restricts open fires to a maximum size of a half-metre wide by a half-metre tall. Prohibited will be the burning of waste larger than half a metre by half a metre, having two fires burning on any one property at a given time, stubble or grass fires of any size and the use of fire-

Anyone found in contravention of the prohibitions could be handed a $345 ticket or prosecuted in court — with a conviction bringing a fine of as much as $100,000 and one year in jail. As of today, there are five fires 10 hectares or larger in the Kamloops Fire Centre area, including the 140-hectare Pavilion Lake blaze near Lillooet that is well under control. That fire was human-caused. To report any fire activity, call 911 or, for wildfires outside of city limits, 1-800-663-5555.

The restrictions cover all B.C. parks, Crown and private land, except within municipal boundaries of a community which has forest-fire prevention bylaws. Kamloops is one such community, but burning within city limits can only be done with a permit from Kamloops Fire Rescue. The only parts of the Kamloops Fire Centre exempt from the prohibitions are the

THE CLEAN CREW: The team from Starbucks joined others in the city during KamClean Week to help tidy up the Tournament Capital. The coffee crew was out in the Mission Flats area on April 28, where it collected bags and bags and bags of trash.

TRAIL BLAZERS: Mayor Peter Milobar (left) accepts a cheque on behalf of KIA Canada from Kamloops KIA owner Steve Davidson for $3,000 on Lorne Street at the Red Bridge. Joining in the ceremony to acknowledge the local dealership’s commitment to Communities In Bloom initiatives are committee co-chairs Gay Pooler and Glenn Grant. The donation paid for this bench and for two others being installed along Schubert Drive Rivers Trail walkway. Dave Eagles/KTW

INSPIRED BY WELLNESS: Inspire Chiropractic & Wellness studio, located at 6-2121 East Trans-Canada Hwy. in Valleyview, held its official grand opening on May 5. Shown are chiropractor Dr. Lisa Conroy (center) with partner Robert Conroy and assistant Hannah O’Connor. Since opening their doors on Feb. 1, Conroy and team have provided community consulting seminars to various Kamloops groups, including the YMCA. George Wycherley/KTW NOT THRIFTY WITH ALTRUISM: The Thrift Seller, owned and operated by the Royal Inland Hospital afternoon auxiliary volunteers, held its grand re-opening celebration on March 31 — and later donated to the RIH Foundation a whopping $180,000 it has raised for special patient-care equipment at the hospital. The store has a fresh new look as volunteers worked hard at cleaning and organization the store. To volunteer, call 250-314-2331 or go online to rihvolunteers.ca.

Since 1994 Walmart Canada & its associates have raised & donated more than

to support the Children’s Miracle Network which includes medical care, research and education that help to save and improve the lives of more than 2.6 million Canadian children each year.

Want to complain to city hall? Use its app to send your gripes A new Kamloops application won’t give your cellphone pictures the look of film, but will make sure snapshots of broken benches, graffiti and other municipal malfunctions get to repair crews with less fuss. The city’s myKamloops app, launched Friday, May 11, lets users take video or pictures of municipal issues they spot and submit them to the city, along with a mapped location and other comments. Adam Chadwick, Kamloops’ manager of geographic-information systems, said the application is intended to make it easier for people to report concerns as they spot them. That could include potholes, fallen signs, downed trees or overflowing trash bins. “The traditional

means of reporting an issue is through phone or [the city’s] website,” said Chadwick. “But, the drawback to that is you have to remember to do it when you get home, you have to look up the phone number and then you have to try and describe the problem and where it’s located.” Chadwick said the application, which will cost the city $9,000 in licencing fees to use, is the first of its kind in the province. “It’s really popular in the States. It’s all new technologies related to smartphones and it’s making it more efficient and effective for us to receive citizen reports.” The ap could also save the city cash if it means problems are reported sooner, Chadwick said.

PNEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top prize in Sun Peaks By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

If you cannot be a contestant on The Bachelorette reality TV show, how about settling for winning a luxury home designed by former Bachelorette Jillian Harris? The Kelowna resident, now a celebrity home designer, has drawn up the blueprint for the 78th PNE prize home, a 3,000-squarefoot abode being built in Sun Peaks Resort. Sun Peaks Tourism president Christopher Nicolson said the huge profile of the Pacific National Exhibition will generate plenty of exposure for the resort in the critical market that is Vancouver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, to have the home featured at Sun Peaks brings a lot of credibility to the resort in a very important market for us, as well as awareness of the resort,â&#x20AC;?

Ice machine ID’d as gas leak at arena Staff at the Ice Box Arena have confirmed an ice-resurfacing machine at the rink was responsible for a gas leak that sent about 50 people to the hospital on May 5. Arena manager Dawn Couture

reopened for evening ice times the same day. Since then, Couture said, things have been running “perfect” at the privately-owned arena and investigations into the matter have finished.

Bittersweet victory By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

It was easy to root for the Prairie Baseball Academy (PBA) Dawgs of Lethbridge at Norbrock Stadium on the weekend. PBA knocked off the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners of Nanaimo 5-1 to win the Canadian College Baseball Conference (CCBC) title on Sunday, May 13. Two of the Dawgs’ teammates — Tanner Craswell,

22, and Mitch MacLean, 20 — were shot and killed on Dec. 15 on Highway 2 in Claresholm, Alta., south of Calgary, as they made their way home to Charlottetown, P.E.I., for Christmas. RCMP said it appeared Derek Jensen, 21, committed suicide after shooting four people, one of whom was his ex-girlfriend, Tabitha Stepple, 21, on the Alberta highway. Stepple also died. The fourth victim — 21-yearold Shayna Conway of

Charlottetown — was the lone survivor. “Back in January, the boys wanted to do it for Tanner and Mitch,” PBA coach Todd Hubka said after Sunday’s game. “I told them that we didn’t need to play that way. We needed to play the game the Dawg way and good things would happen from that. We didn’t need the extra pressure of what happened.” Players, coaches, team staff and family members were overcome with emotion

after the game. The players ran to the right-field fence at Norbrock and grabbed a banner with their deceased teammates’ names and numbers on it. The Dawgs passed the banner around when they received their gold medals. Hubka said the difference in the game was the pitching of Alex Regan, a left-hander from Calgary. Regan, the CCBC’s coleader in regular season wins with five, fanned 10 batters and walked four.

“He’s been our No. 1,” Hubka said. “It doesn’t matter who he faces, whether it be in Nevada or playing for the CCBC championship, that is what you get every time he goes out on the mound. He is a pretty special kid.” PBA trounced the host Thompson Rivers University WolfPack 15-6 in the semifinal round on Saturday, May 12. The Dawgs — who will defend their title at Norbrock in 2013 — received some

encouraging words from their coach in a post-game huddle. “I told [the players] how proud I was of them, of what they accomplished this year,” Hubka said. “The circumstances that they overcame . . . going to the yard every day helped keep my mind off what happened. “They are extended family.

Raiders the best in B.C. By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Two-hundred-andseventy-pound forwards and a red BMW gave the Kamloops Rugby Club Raiders all they could handle, but the team managed to return home with a provincialchampionship trophy. Kamloops knocked off the Velox Valhallians of Victoria 38-29 in the B.C. Rugby Union Province Wide Third Division final at Klahanie Park in North Vancouver on Saturday, May 12. “Their [forward] pack was huge,” said Trevor Johnston, the Raiders’ No. 8. “They must have had a thousand pounds on us. We looked like midgets out there.” Velox used its size to great effect in the first half, battling back from a 17-point deficit to tie

the game 17-17 before halftime. “They kicked to the corner and drove it in off lineouts three times in a row,” Johnston said. “They were really well-drilled in that lineout. They just walked it in.” The Valhallians jumped into a five-point lead with a try early in the second half, but the Raiders struck back with a tally of their own minutes later. Kamloops’ fly-half Cole Levitt — who Johnston said was “on fire” all game — slotted the conversion to give the Raiders a two-point lead. Velox’s forwards mounted a sustained attack inside Kamloops’ 22-metre line later in the second half, but the Raiders stood strong. “Our guys just tackled, and tackled, and tackled,” Johnston said.

Did you witness a pedestrian get hit by a blue and white car at the 700 block of Victoria Street, in front of the Memorial Arena on Monday, April 30, 2012 at approximately 9:00 p.m.? If you have any information about this accident, please call Michael Sutherland at

250-374-3161

“It was a defensive stand for about five minutes.” After the defensive hold, the Raiders marched down the field and capitalized with a try, which gave them a lead they would not relinquish. “It was a huge win for us,” Johnston said. Scoring tries for Kamloops were Levitt (2), Brandon Kicia, Mark Haywood-Farmer and Shaun Roberts. Levitt added a penalty and five conversions to round out the Raiders’ scoring. Ray Young, John Lyall, Chad Vath, Aled Price-Boris and Kevin Summerfeldt scored tries for Velox. The party started immediately after the final whistle blew, but it was interrupted briefly when the Raiders were trying to leave Klahanie Park.

Narrow roads around Capilano Rugby Club’s home pitch are tough for buses to navigate at the best of times, and they were nearly impossible to deal with on Saturday when rugby fans filled Klahanie to watch the BCRU’s premier, first, second and third division finals. “We had to pick up a red BMW convertible to get out of the place,” Johnston said. ‘”Everybody got off the bus and we moved it one foot at a time.” With the road cleared, the party resumed and the Raiders enjoyed the trip back over the Coquihalla. “The bus ride home was a gong show,” Johnston said. “It was a really good game and a great day for the club.”

Terwiel cracks national team Sun Peaks ski racer Elli Terwiel has been named to the 20122013 Canadian Alpine Ski Team. Terwiel, last year’s overall ladies’ NorAm Cup slalom champion, will join the team of 10 women and 19 men for the 2012-2013 World Cup season and the 2013 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships. The speed demon credits her family for

much of her success. “My family has allowed me to always be motivated to go outside and get the work done,” Terwiel said. “They taught me if you want to get it done, you have to put in the work to achieve it.” There are plenty of perks that come along with being part of the national team. Terwiel will have access to funding and

athletic support from ski technicians and physiotherapists as she sets her sights on the Olympic games. “My goal is absolutely 100 per cent to go to the 2014 [Sochi, Russia] Winter Games,” said Terwiel, whose Twitter handle is @elliterwiel. “And, right now, it feels very achievable.” Terwiel recently finished her first year of civil engineering

at the University of Vermont, which she attends on an athletic scholarship. She will return to the Vermont campus in September, but might take 2014 off to focus on her Olympic goal. The national-team member thanked the residents of Sun Peaks for their support. “It just goes to show anyone can do this if they put in the work,” Terwiel said.

Faults & Fixes Welcome to the Bill Bilton Jr. Golf Academy Faults and Fixes Series. In this series of weekly columns in KTW, Bilton will cover 10 of the more common faults golfers face and tell you how to fix them. Readers will also have an opportunity to win a weekly prize of one round of golf at The Dunes and a monthly prize of four lessons for two people. See below for the skill-testing question. The Bill Bilton Jr. Golf Academy, Kamloops’ first full-service golf academy, is located at the The Dunes Golf Club in Westsyde. From new golfers to low-handicap players, the Bill Bilton Jr. Golf Academy offers programs segmented to match each player’s skill level, speaking to the needs of beginners looking to discover their game, core players looking to develop more consistency, advanced players looking to enhance their skills and elite players looking to refine their game.

The curriculum is flexible to ensure learning is paced for eeach student. Bilton has been a CPGA professional for more than 19 years and a student of the game for many more. He has 17 professional wins to his credit, was nominated BCPGA player of the year (1999), Kamloops Sports Council Coach of the Year (2008) and Kamloops Sports Person of the Year (2011). For five years, Bilton has also acted as head coach for the Thompson Rivers University golf team, the 2008 Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association champion. Recently, Bilton was hired to instruct for the Golf Digest Schools and Advantage Golf Schools in Orlando, Fla., during the winter months, and is the director of golf and head of instruction at The Dunes from April through October.

LESSON #1: Fault: Topped-skulled, fat-heavy shots There is nothing worse than sculling one across the green from a chip-shot distance, or hitting one fat off the tee. Confidence is thrown right out the window. Problems such as these occur most frequently when players try to lift or scoop the ball into the air. Many golfers believe they have to “get under it” (the ball) in order to get the ball airborne. Nothing could be further from the truth in golf. Although scooping will work sometimes, it is not a consistent way to play. The fix comes from understanding where the bottom of the arc is in the swing and where the

shaft of the club needs to be at the moment of impact. The perimeter of the golf swing is known as the arc. The lowest point of the arc for most shots is a few inches in front of the golf ball. Therefore, the club head should still be moving on a slightly downward path as it strikes the ball. It is important to understand the grip end of the club will be leaning a few more inches toward your target at impact than it was at the address position. To find the bottom of your arc, simply take a rehearsal swing, taking a divot.

The ball would then be placed just before where the divot started for an actual shot. Fix your topped or fat shots by finding the bottom of your arc and ensuring the handle of the club is a few inches closer to the target at impact than it was at address and your ball striking will improve tremendously.

Lake. The abundance of insects and aquatic invertebrates provide enough food to support big populations of trout. With lots of trout up to 0.7 kilograms (1.5 pounds) and several reports of 1.5 kg to 2 kg (3 lb to 4 lb) trophies, even serious anglers will be interested in this lake. Another explanation for such large fish could be the population of shiners. The Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC stocks Pinantan Lake with fish-eating Blackwater rainbow trout to help control the small minnows that were illegally introduced decades ago. Some of these

trout may capitalize on their food source, which would explain their decent sizes. Fly-fishers should take their cues from the abundant hatches of chironomids, mayflies, caddisflies, damselflies and dragonflies as imitations should prove successful. Cast to the shoals and dropoffs at the lake’s edges or around the islands. The deep hole in the middle of the lake is popular with trollers. Use Flatfish, inline spinners, gang trolls and willow leaves, or try small silver spoons or Rapalas to lure one of the Blackwaters. During the cold season, this lake is popular with ice-fishermen. Bring your auger and lawn chair for a day on the ice. FACILITIES: Besides the private resort at the lake, public facilities are limited, but there is a decent public boat launch at the west end of the lake.

There are two islands and a back channel that leads to a smaller secluded lake. It is also connected to Paul Lake by a series of wetland channels. Natural spawning streams allow these trout to reproduce naturally, which normally results in tiny fish. But not so in Pinantan

Soleful lessons Kay Bingham elementary students turn lessons into a practical way to help others By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Math and socials classes have taken on new meaning for students at Kay Bingham elementary. And, while they’re learning about data management, tabulations, basic addition, geography, history and the nature of community, they will be leaving a tangible remnant of their studies — shoes. Lots and lots of them, the students hope. The project started with Grade 1 teacher Jennifer Jones, who wanted to not only teach her students their A, B, Cs and 1, 2, 3s, but leave a kernel of something else that might grow. She invited local firefighter Dave Sakaki to come and talk to her students about his experiences working with needy people in Nicaragua. “It was maybe the most-exciting day in my teaching life,” Jones said of the impact Sakaki had on her young students. “The kids wee so excited and they wanted to learn and to help.” Despite the youngsters’ enthusiasm to send “so many other things” to the South American country, Jones said they listened to Sakaki as he told them to focus on just one item. He suggested shoes because they are so desperately needed that some Nicaraguan families will share a pair they may have given to them. The grades 2 and 6 classes wanted to take on the organizational part of the five-week drive the school has decided to begin, with the teachers seeing a unique, real-world way to add to the curriculum they will be teaching.

It’s not particularly easy to pick a highlight in the 2012-2013 season planned for the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra. For some, it may be Madmen Across the Water, two evenings of the music of Elton John featuring Jean Meilleur, a songwriter who has performed with symphonies throughout North America, often focusing on the kind of music classics one might associate with jeans. For the traditional classics fan, it could be the KSO’s opening concert, Brilliant Beethoven, featuring Stephane BEN Lemelin, a soughtHEPPNER after pianist for many orchestras. The opera buff may wait for A Joyful Noyse on Feb. 9, 2013, featuring mezzo-soprano MarieJosee Lord, a musician who started with the piano, moved on to violin, realized neither was her calling but discovered, while at a rehearsal of the Quebec Conservatory, she has an incredible voice — and a passion for singing.

Clark Gilmore (left), Craig McGown, Grahame Critcher and Joe Kane are Beatlemania On Tour, a tribute-band show that recreates the history of the Fab Four from Germany to the rooftop of Apple Studio. The show is in Kamloops on Wednesday, June 20.

Service, Emergencies & Repairs: • Residential

Beatlemania lives again By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

There are times when he’s performing that Clark Gilmore takes a mental pause. He’s just singing Beatles songs in his guise as John Lennon — “and there are people out there who saw him as something so much more than just a singer,” Gilmore said. “There are so many people who can tell you what they were doing when they heard John Lennon was shot.” Gilmore acknowledges his viewpoint doesn’t come firsthand, since he and Lennon never shared the Earth together — Gilmore was born eight years after Lennon was murdered. As part of the tribute band Beatlemania, however, he and bandmates Joe Kane (Paul McCartney), Craig McGown (George Harrison) and Grahame Critcher (Ringo Starr) are about to embark on a Western Canadian tour as Beatlemania On Tour. The band is at Sagebrush

Theatre on Wednesday, June 20, for an 8 p.m. show. Gilmore’s love of Beatles music came about courtesy of his dad, who was a fan. As a child, Gilmore listened to Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry and Little Richard, among others but, by his late teens, he’d moved on to other music. In fact, the first song he learned to play on guitar was Holly’s Oh Boy — “and I never learned any Beatles songs until I was 15.” Then, he found a box of old Beatles records his dad owned, started playing them “and I was hooked. “Sometimes, you forget just how big and important and groundbreaking the Beatles really were.” The foursome had started playing Beatles music before Australia-based Showtime — which has tribute bands of many famous performers — approached them to take on the Beatles show. It’s two hours of Beatles history, Gilmore said, starting from the shows in Hamburg, Germany,

“when they were rough and ready in their leathers” and the only part that includes the original band drummer, Pete Best. Then it’s off to the Cavern Club in England, when the four were starting to morph into the mop-top phenom they would become. It includes the famous Ed Sullivan show, then takes the audience into those years when the Fab Four grew tired of touring and retreated to the studio, creating masterpieces like Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. It ends with the unannounced rooftop concert at the band’s Apple Studio in 1969, just before the Beatles broke up. The show comes with all the necessary accoutrements, from the shaggy hair to the costumes to that head wiggle Lennon had in the early days when he sang. “You just get to suspend your disbelief for a couple of hours and relive it,” Gilmore said. Tickets are $55 and are available at the Kamloops Live Box Office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-3745483, kamloopslive.ca.

KSO, WCT team up for Fiddler X From B1

Students at Kay Bingham elementary are collecting shoes to send to needy families in Nicaragua.

Public can also donate to cause X From B1

The students decided to call their project the Kay Bingham Shoe Drive for Nicaragua and brainstormed a slogan: We need shoes that you don’t use! The teachers are excited to have real-life experiences they can incorporate into their

daily lessons, Jones said. For example, in the Grade 2 class, donated shoes will be added up and tallied as part of math lessons. They will also need to be sorted into groupings, teaching another core math element. “We were looking for new ways to bring the

real world into the curriculum,” Jones said. Students will have an in-school dropoff box but the project is open to the public. Boxes will be available next to the schoolyard fence on Southill Street between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. The collection began on Monday, May 14.

The Mozart fans will prefer Affairs of the Heart on Oct. 27, featuring guest conductor Martin MacDonald, most recently with Symphony Nova Scotia. That evening features Judy Kang, a Canadian violinist the music world discovered when she was just 10. As always, there are the stalwarts of a KSO season — The Magic of Vienna on Jan. 12 and Jan. 13, and Christmas with the KSO, featuring young Kamloops clarinetist Marcella Barz. Other highlights of the upcoming season include: • A tribute to the oscars on March 15 and March 16, featuring guest conductor Victor Sawa of the orchestras in

Saskatoon, Regina and Sudbury; • A Splendid Adventure on May 11, featuring Veronique Saucier; Music in the Round on Dec. 1, 2012, at the Irving K Barber Centre at Thompson Rivers University — a fundraiser to benefit the sympony and TRU arts students; • A joint venture with Western Canada Theatre, with the orchestra performing the music to Fiddler on the Roof on March 28 to April 13. The KSO Chamber Music Series includes Fine Arts Quartet performing on Sept. 25, and then the KSO chamber-music musicians take over on Nov. 3, Feb. 23, and April 27. Kathy Humpreys, KSO general manager, said this is the first time the orchestra will not be under the baton

of conductor Bruce Dunn for all shows. Bringing in guest conductors provides an opportunity for the musicians and audience alike, she said. Humphreys added musicians in the orchestra are particularly excited with the Elton John program — and it could lead to more lighter musical fare in the future. Meilleur and other musicians began the programming in London, Ont., with a Jeans and Classics list of shows performed with that city’s orchestra. It has through the years continued to be a popular concert. Humphreys said it’s not a tributeband idea but, rather, music by the British rock star performed by the orchestra and Meilleur’s fellow musicians — Donald Paulton on piano,

Mitchy Tyler on bass and Paul DeLong on drums — with the KSO chorus providing backup vocals. Humphreys said she expects Sawa’s Oscars music will also be popular. The conductor — himself a movie fan — travels to many locations with the program and will chose music from some of the most-famous movies throughout film history.

It pulls strongly each time you dab the pedal, with a lusty roar that harmonizes with the Wrangler’s truck-like demeanour. There are some mechanical differences between the Sahara and the even more-capable Rubicon, which I tested last year. One these is the Rubicon’s Rock-Trac system that features torquier 4:1 low-range gear ratio than the 2.72 you get with Command-Trac. It’s even better for steep ascents and descents, rock crawling and in slow-speed turns. But, then again, I wasn’t doing any extreme rock crawling and found the latter system more than up to the task.

It delivers 40 per cent more horsepower and 10 per cent more torque than the one it replaces. And, it’s also more fuel efficient at 13.4/9.6 L/100 km (city/hwy) with the six-speed manual as tested. The other big announcement was the replacement of the yestertech four-speed automatic with a more modern fivespeed autobox. During last year’s road test, I mentioned the 3.8-litre’s adequate torque, but overall lack of pep when accelerating and in highway passing.

EXPERIENCE LIFE ACROSS ALL TERRAIN

The new supercharged 5.8litre powerplant in the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 has been officially SAE-certified as the most-powerful series-production V8 in the world, with peak output of 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. That’s more power and torque than low-volume sports cars costing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars more than the GT500, which is the most fuel-efficient vehicle in its segment. The 2013 GT500 is the most fuel-efficient car with more than 550 horsepower in any segment available in North America. Unlike high-strung engines found in much more expensive exotic supercars, the GT500 engine generates its massive thrust throughout its operating range with 395 pound-feet of torque available just off idle at 1,000 r.p.m. More than 90 per cent of the peak torque is available from 2,200 to 5,800 r.p.m. so that, no matter when you squeeze the go pedal, the GT500 will just get up and run.

Scrapping poverty By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

Some people see scrap metal as junk; others see an opportunity to help out those in need. Lee Gardiner and Eric McCooeye are of the latter view. The two friends have been collecting and selling scrap metal and scrap cars the past nine months, using the money to help support children and families living in poverty. The endeavour started two years ago when Gardiner donated four right-hand drive Suzuki Carrys and a Toyota Land Cruiser to Les Peters at Impact Ministries, a charitable non-profit group that has

built schools in Guatemala. Gardiner had been buying and selling the four-wheel drive vehicles from Japan and donating 100 per cent of the profits to support Impact Ministries. On his first trip to Guatemala, Gardiner realized the people in the Central American country could also benefit from having some of the vehicles. With a team of drivers and two school buses purchased by Impact Ministries, they drove the vehicles to Guatemala. The cost of the 6,000-kilometre adventure to deliver the vehicles was more than $50,000, but fundraising covered about $30,000 of the bill. The idea to raise the rest of the

They moved to Cache Creek in 1961 and a few years later, lda had her 3rd child, Bonnie. The family moved again and lived in Ashcroft in 1967, before finally settling in Kamloops in 1968. Mom received her Canadian Citizenship in 1971. Mom worked with Dad (in his construction business) when they first moved to Kamloops, then she worked at RIH for 25 years, first in housekeeping and then the laundry before retiring in 1999. After retirement, mom moved to Kelowna to live with her youngest daughter Bonnie (husband, Ken) Perry. Life became very busy and fulfilling with three granddaughters and gardening. Mom was a member of “Willow Park Church” in Kelowna. She moved back to Kamloops earlier this year to live with her Daughter, Lilli who cared for her with love to the end. Mom had an active part with all of us, always involved in our little and sometimes big projects.We in turn worked with mom on hers; it was always team work with mom. Mom also loved to garden and could make anything grow. She was an avid reader and adored her dogs. Her influence is evident in our homes and lives. Our loss, although pain felt, is only temporary as we know we’ll be reunited and see her smiling face, She will be missed and lovingly remembered. Thanks to all those that made mom’s life special and the family would like to especially thank Dr. J. Howie for all his support during this difficult time. Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577 Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

money through selling scrap metal was born when McCooeye was out walking at Lac Du Bois and came across some scrap metal lying in a field. “I was telling Eric a friend of mine suggested I should look into doing scrap cars and Eric says, ‘Oh, I know where there’s some scrap metal’,” Gardiner recounted. “And, so we loaded up the truck with that stuff and the brakes were stinkin’ on the way down because of the hills. And we took it in there [the scrapyard]. The guy gave us $360 and a light bulb comes on — this is a good idea.” Since then, the pair has toured Kamloops, turning trash into charity treasure, with all money collected covering expenses and paying off

the debt from the Guatemala trip. Gardiner and McCooeye have the cost of the Guatemala trip almost paid off. With just $5,962 left to break even, they want to raise awareness for their next project — supporting the charity Impact Nations. Impact Nations is an organization that travels to impoverished regions around the globe, completing projects to help people in need. McCooeye, a retired paramedic, said he has gone on some trips with the group, including one to the Philippines, where he helped stage medical clinics for people living on a dump site in Manila. “Our passion is to help people in poverty and we have a real heart for children that, through no fault

of their own, are living in poverty,” Gardiner said. While collecting scrap from around the Kamloops area, Gardiner said the public’s generosity has been great. “We’re just grateful for the generous response. We’ve kept steady and sometimes pretty busy,” Gardiner said. “This winter it slowed down a little bit, but we were not discouraged.” After collecting scrap for almost a year, Gardiner hopes people want to be part of a solution to the poverty problem. “And, not only globally, but locally,” he said. “There’s kids that go to school without a lunch. We’ve got poverty right in this town.”

ANNE-MARIE ERICKSON It is with deep sadness that the family of Anne-Marie Erickson announces her passing on May 1, 2012.

Jeffrey John Daniel

Sept. 14, 1978 May 14, 2005

She is survived by her mother Elise Erickson and sister Christine Alonzo, as well as her husband Bob Cliffe and his three daughters Erin, Shannon, and Alanna. Anne-Marie was also a proud grandmother to Maia, and an aunt and great aunt to numerous nieces and nephews. Born November 6, 1959 in Seattle, Washington, she moved at an early age with her family to Burns Lake, B.C. where she spent her early years. She later lived in Prince George, Creston, and Ànally Kamloops. For over 20 years, Anne-Marie was a passionate advocate for people with disabilities, whether as a special education teacher’s assistant; program director and employment training specialist; or Ànally as an employment service coordinator. She was a strong believer in inclusiveness and accessibility for all. A life-long traveller, she experienced the wonder of seeing Canada from coast to coast; biking through the Yukon Territory and Alaska; and the pleasure of visiting Tahiti, Hawaii, Denmark, Paris, Mexico (many times), Australia (twice), New Zealand, and Venezuela. A true lover of nature, she enjoyed skiing, camping, backpacking, hiking, and Àshing, although, snorkelling with tropical Àsh and sea turtles was her ultimate joy. Her Life was one Àlled with zest and adventure, and albeit cut too short, Anne-Marie truly had an epic journey in a Life well lived. At this time, the family would like to give special thanks to Dr. Baker, Dr. Bishop, and Marilyn for all their care, support and kindness over many years. In lieu of Áowers, donations in Anne-Marie’s memory to Kamloops Hospice Association; Royal Inland Hospital Foundation; or Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, May 19, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. in the Schoening Funeral Chapel with Pastor Don Maione ofÀciating. Service arrangements are entrusted to Schoenings Funeral Service, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops, telephone (250) 374-1454. On-line condolences may be expressed at www.schoenings.com.

RICHARD (Dick) KNORR June 12, 1925 March 17, 2012

“Come and decorate the mahogany” A Celebration of Life for Dad will be held on Friday, May 18, 2012 at the Moose Lodge 730 Cottonwood Avenue at 1:00 p.m.

We miss you so much.. you touch our lives every day. Memories are all we have, we keep them close to give us comfort. In our memories you are near, loved and longed for always. “mourn ya ‘til we join ya” Love Mom, Dave, Jacqui, Sarah & Jackson XOXO
