RIH ER only in Canada to offer OD kit

The emergency room at Royal Inland Hospital is unique in the country for a new and important reason. The Kamloops hospital is the only one in the country involved in a program to provide a take-home kit with the tools needed to help someone with a opiate overdose. The program is in effect elsewhere in communities, but Royal Inland’s ER is the lone one in Canada involved. It involves naloxone, a drug that can quickly reverse an overdose from drugs like codeine, morphine, heroin and other opiates. Dr. Trevor Corneil, a medical officer of health with the Interior Health Authority, said the program, run in partnership with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, involves some simple tools in a blue case about the size of an eyeglass case — needles, syringes and two vials of naloxone. X See RIH ER A10
For her 60th birthday, Kamloops Coun. Tina Lange set out to help raise money to buy a new leather couch for the Y Emergency Women’s Shelter. Lange’s birthday funds also helped purchased pyjamas and other needed items for the shelter. Dave Eagles/KTW
COUCH A REFUGE FOR THOSE IN NEED By Dale Bass
STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
The day the couch was delivered, one of the women wasn’t feeling well. “She was sick and she planned on staying in all day,” Chantale Chow said. “So, we set her up on the new couch in the corner, with a blanket, and some of us sat with her and it seemed like just five minutes, but 20 minutes had gone by.” Such is the reaction something as simple as a sectional couch can make to the women who live in — and, like Chow, who work at — the Kamloops Y Women’s Emergency Shelter. The custom-created dark brown-leather sectional takes up
one whole wall and about half of another at the shelter, replacing an old, worn, donated cloth piece of furniture that had seen better days. The addition comes courtesy of an event that occurred on Jan. 9, 1954 — when Tina Lange was born. To celebrate her 60th birthday this year, the city councillor and former restaurant and hotel owner asked friends to donate money so she could buy the couch. KTW wrote of her request, people responded and, just weeks later, Lange had collected more than $5,000 — well more than the $2,500 price Sid Kandola of City Furniture gave her for what would have sold for more than $6,000. Lange gave another $1,000 to the Y’s Children Who Witness Abuse program and used the rest

to buy some of the other things on the shelter’s wish list — including a lot of pyjamas to be given to the women and children who seek shelter there every week. Many do. In the first three months of this year, the shelter was at full capacity more often than it was all of 2013. In 2012, 200 women and 100 children spent 5,823 nights there. It may not seem like much, but having new PJs to wear and having a clean, comfortable couch to curl up on can sometimes fulfil all needs at one moment. For Lange, seeing it in place and stretching out on it was satisfying. “Look at this thing,” she said. “I’m tall and I could stretch out three times on this, it’s so big. “It’s perfect.”
A tentative settlement with the unions representing school support and clerical staff happened quickly because “both sides came to the table and wanted to get the job done,” said Education Minister Peter Fassbender. He told KTW the talks, which began on Tuesday, June 3, and ended with a tentative agreement on Saturday, June 7, were the result of “hard bargaining on both sides. “Both parties stayed at the table,” Fassbender said. “They were prepared to negotiate. They bargained hard and both parties had to move.” He said part of the movement that led to the tentative agreement was allocating up to 20 per cent of the province’s Learning Improvement Fund — $75 million — that can be used to hire more education assistants. The five-year tentative agreement, rumoured to include a 5.5 per cent wage increase over the life of the term, includes standardized extended health-benefit plans and a commitment to a job-evaluation plan to

IN THE EVENT OF A FULL STRIKE Here is what parents need to know: • Schools will be closed. • Parents with children who need supervision should make child-care arrangements. • Parents will receive final report cards. In some cases, the reports may be more abbreviated than normal. • There are 15 provincial exam courses scheduled between June 16 and June 26.

The tentative agreement includes adding more hours for those certified-educational assistants — formerly referred to as studentand school-support workers. Fassbender said details will be worked out at the local level based on the needs of each district. The agreement reached on the weekend deals with provincewide and monetary issues only; the unions involved will do district bargaining on local issues. X See UNION LOCALS A10

Council to decide on asking for two more Mounties By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
TRAGIC CRASH ON HIGHWAY 5 NORTH One person was killed and four others injured on Highway 5 North in Rayleigh on Monday, June 9, when a southbound truck veered across the centre lane, colliding with a northbound truck, the driver of which died at the scene. Four people in the southbound truck were taken to Royal Inland Hospital, with a passenger in the rear seat suffering the most serious injuries. The person killed in the northbound truck was alone in their vehicle. Andrea Klassen/KTW
Kamloops RCMP to hold public service for fallen officers The Kamloops RCMP detachment will hold a service today (June 10) to honour the three Mounties slain last week in Moncton, N.B. The ceremony, which will be open to the public, will take place at 1 p.m. at the detachment, 560 Battle St. A book of condolences will also be on hand and will be sent to Moncton following the service. Moncton RCMP constables Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, Douglas James Larche and Dave Joseph Ross were gunned down on Wednesday, June 4, after responding to a report of a man with firearms in a residential neighbourhood in the northwest area of Moncton.

Two other officers — constables Eric Dubois and Darlene Goguen — were wounded and have been released from hospital. People in Moncton came together on
Monday, June 9, in a public show of support for the RCMP as they grieved the deaths. About 200 people were lined up as the doors swung open to a large auditorium, where three flag-draped coffins lay end-toend near the front of the room. Atop each coffin was a Mountie’s brown Stetson and on a stage behind the coffins were several wreaths and large bouquets, most of them laden with red and white blooms. In front of the wreaths were displays featuring framed photos of each of the victims and their brown leather boots. Meanwhile, the BMO Financial Group has announced donations to the fallen Mounties’ families can be made at any BMO branch in Canada.

It’s not budget season, but Kamloops city council will make a decision today (June 10) that could lead to the city adding more RCMP officers to its force in 2015. City staff is seeking council’s consent to send a letter of approval in principle to the federal government, asking the federal Treasury Board to set aside money for two more Kamloops Mounties. The city needs to give the federal government advance notice because it doesn’t operate on the same financial cycle. Ottawa pays 10 per cent of Kamloops’ policing costs. Two new officers would cost the city $304,327 and increase the size of the Kamloops RCMP force to 122. According to a council report by the city’s support-services manager for the RCMP, the new officers may be required to help with a proposed nuisance-property bylaw. The bylaw would see the city create a task force to monitor problem properties generating high numbers of nuisance calls to emergency services. In cases where the issues at the property can’t be resolved, the city would be able to start charging landowners for future fire, ambulance and police calls. Sending a letter to Ottawa doesn’t guarantee the city will add the new officers. Even if Kamloops moves ahead with the bylaw, formal approval of new police officers would need to done during 2015 budget debates. The two officers would increase the total cost of policing in Kamloops $21.6 million. from $21.3 million.

LOCAL NEWS At one point, the schoolyard fence at Dufferin elementary was a collage of creative fish (left). The chain-link canvas turned bare due to thieves who stole the creations of children attending the school. Slowly but surely, the wooden fish are being recovered and returned.
Balancing the scales of justice at Dufferin By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Something fishy is going on at Dufferin elementary — and school administration, parents and students are trying to get to the bottom of it. About 120 painted wooden fish went missing from a school-wide public art display over the weekend. About half of them turned up in Pineview Valley and were returned to the school as of yesterday
morning (June 9). “It was pretty upsetting coming to school this morning,” said school principal Mike Bowden. “Probably from Grade 4 down were the ones that were taken.” “So, all the younger kids.” Each student at the school — kindergarten through Grade 7 — painted and hung a fish as part of a student-led project inspired by “a school of fish.” “Part of our student plan was to build student community,” Bowden said. “This was their idea.”
Home Hardware donated the plywood and a parent from the Kamloops Woodworkers’ Guild had them cut out. The entire school participated. Each class painted and fastened the fish to the fence at the end of May — creations were shellacked and intended to be a permanent installation around the school’s bus area. “It was something that kind of drew the school together,” Bowden said. “There was lots of talk about one day when they’re adults, driv-
ing by and being able to see their fish.” The 300-or-so fish had only been up a couple of weeks. “The zap straps are all over . . . someone took scissors or wire cutters and cut them,” Bowden said. While it was upsetting to see the look on kids faces, “lined up and telling me that their fish was missing,” he said it was motivating to have between 65 and 70 of the art objects turn up. Parents and students collected them and they were hung on the fence once again — this time
with wire. “We had kids out being detectives, trying to find clues,” Bowden said. “That drew everyone together again.”
Help fish return to spawn Anybody who knows anything about the fishy situation or who comes across one of the 50 or so painted fish still missing is asked to phone the school at 250-374-4425 and drop them off at Dufferin elementary, 1880 Hillside Dr., during regular school hours.
BCPSEA wants exams deemed essential service The provincial government’s bargaining agent in the dispute with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) wants exams declared an essential service. In a letter to the B.C. Labour Relations Board, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) said it wants preparing, supervising and marking the exams for grades 10 to 12 exams, scheduled for the end of the month, be deemed essential. The letter states: “The basis for this application is the serious and immediate damage which would be caused to the education programs of secondary students if they are not able to complete end of year
Union prez says voting strong
examinations (both provincial and school based), to have these examinations marked, and to ensure that final grades be compiled and entered into the relevant systems.” The letter said the application is necessary because the BCPSEA expects the BCTF to take all its members out on a provincewide strike as early as Monday, June 16. The BCPSEA is asking that teaching personnel and support staff required to help special-needs students be designated essential. The letter points out the exams and marks are particularly crucial for graduating students applying for post-scondary education
Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association president Jason Karpuk said voting has been strong as teachers finish filling out ballots today (June 10) on whether to step up job action — which could include progressing to a full strike. However, Karpuk said that doesn’t necessarily mean a provincewide strike on Monday, June 16 — the earliest the union could legally walk off the job.
or seeking bursaries or scholarships. The BCPSEA also wants staff required to complete forms designating new specialneeds student for the coming school year also be declared essential. The BCPSEA suggests it and the BCTF should then reach an agreement on how many days’ work that would mean for each district. The letter also asks for essential-service designation for all services that “prevent or remedy damage to, or malfunction of, any equipment that may pose a potential threat to students, staff or members of the public.” BCPSEA explains in the letter it wants
In the event a strike extends into the summer, Karpuk said he would expect picket lines to be maintained at schools, but noted no clear direction on this had been provided by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. Karpuk said an agreement struck between the provincial government and the unions representing school support, clerical and maintenance staff to be paid on the days they do not cross a BCTF picket
teaching and support staff to be available “in the event of any emergency or disaster situation within a school.” It is expected CUPE, the union representing support and clerical staff in schools, will honour and not cross any picket lines, as it has done during the past two weeks of rotating strikes. The labour board is also being asked to declare processing payrolls in a timely manner an essential service and suggests both union and employer should reach an agreement on how many people that might mean, turning to the board to adjudicate any dispute.
line is unusual. “I just don’t know what it is, where it comes from,” Karpuk said. “It’s like they’re encouraging CUPE [which represents the majority of those workers] to respect our lines. “Or, it might be a bonus without calling it a bonus, a way of getting money in addition to what they got in the contract.”

Sweet sound of French success
Maia Manshadi’s eloquence lands her second in B.C. By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
mon native tongue. Maia made it through the local level of the speaking competition, ending up in Surrey last month to compete at the provincial level. She wasn’t alone heading to the provincial stage.
Maia Manshadi wants to be a pediatrician who works with Doctors Without Borders in a French-speaking African country. She’s smart enough to have confidently chosen a topic for her recent speech competition that, she said, “would get me extra points from the judges.� She found time to talk with KTW between classes and her violin lessons — and to show off her second-place medal won at the provincial Concours d’art oratoire. All this and she’s not yet in her teens. The Grade 6 student attends Ecole colleens d’or, the city’s francophone school on the North Shore. Maia chose as Maia Manshadi with the second-place medal her speech topic the she earned at the provincial Concours d’art international auxiliary oratorio. Dave Eagles/KTW language (IAL).

Maia’s younger siblings — nations who don’t share a com-
two brothers and a sister — also took part in the competition at their school, but successful students can’t move on to the provincial level until they are in Grade 6. Mia’s sister, Carmel, who is 10, finished first for her grade in Kamloops, Maia said. Maia said she loves learning to speak French, noting the only English spoken at school is during English class. “It’s like having French in other schools,� she said. “That’s when we can use it.� Maia said it’s “cool� learning the language of her mother, who was born in Quebec. Yes, she was nervous before she took to the stage at Simon Fraser University, where the competition was held for B.C. and the Yukon. And she knows she spoke a bit too quickly. But, she loved the entire experience, especially “me and my mom spending time together down there.� As for the medical-career goal, Maia said it came from watching a television show at her grandparent’s house one day, a program that talked about the work of the medical humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders. Next up, though, will be high school — she’s headed for South Kamloops secondary — and, from there, her aspirations are big. One thing Maia does know — she will be speaking French as she pursues them.

Accused wants to move trial
Kibbe says fair trial impossible, charge related to local judge By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man accused of threatening to harm a provincial-court judge and assaulting a corrections officer behind bars will have to wait at least a week longer to find out if he’ll be able to move his trial to the Lower Mainland. Landon Hayes Kibbe is charged with assaulting a peace officer stemming from
an incident at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre on Sept. 18, 2013. The 29-year-old is also facing one count of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm. That charge was laid after an incident on April 25 during which Kibbe allegedly threatened Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleavely. Kibbe, who is in custody at North Fraser Pretrial Centre in
Supreme Court. If he elected trial by provincial-court judge, Frame said, she could decide where the trial would be held. If he elected B.C. Supreme Court, though, a higher-court judge would have to make that decision. Frame gave Kibbe, who is self-represented, a week to consult a lawyer. He’s due back in court on June 16.
Port Coquitlam, appeared in Kamloops provincial court by video on Monday, June 9. He said it will be impossible to get a fair trial in Kamloops given the nature of the allegations he is facing. Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame said she can’t rule on a potential change-of-venue application until Kibbe decides whether he wants his matters heard in provincial court or B.C.

Guilty pleas upheld, judge not persuaded by ADD-argument By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A lack of attentiondeficit disorder medication is no reason to strike the guilty pleas of a man the Crown wants labelled a dangerous offender and jailed indefinitely, a judge has ruled. Craig Robert Cecil Ferguson was in B.C. Supreme Court this week in Kamloops applying to have his guilty pleas withdrawn. In May 2013, he pleaded guilty to three counts stemming from an incident in Merritt the previous November, in which a woman was held against her will
and assaulted with a laptop charging cord. Ferguson, 37, argued the pleas should be withdrawn because he was not medicated for his ADD at the time they were entered — meaning he didn’t understand the potential severity of the Crown saying it would apply for a dangerous or longterm offender designation. In addition to the meds, Ferguson argued his plea was influenced by the fact he was in segregation lock-up at the time, in a small cell for 23 hours a day with no television or radio and allowed no contact with other inmates.
He said it made his mind “foggy” and made his thought process “confused.” On Friday, June 6, B.C. Supreme Court Justice William Ehrcke said he wasn’t persuaded by Ferguson’s argument, ruling the pleas will remain in place. Ferguson has a lengthy criminal history dating back to 1997, with more than 80 convictions between B.C., Ontario and Nova Scotia. He told court he’s spent 18 of the last 20 years in jail. Some of his convictions stem from assaults and riots while behind bars.
Shotgun to ‘protect’ drugs: Crown By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Loon Lake man standing trial on nine drug charges kept a loaded shotgun at the top of his bed to protect his drug stash, a jury has been told. Gerald Burgess is facing 11 charges in B.C. Supreme Court, including two for careless storage of a firearm. His trial before a 12-person jury began on Monday, June 9, with an opening statement from federal Crown prosecutor Lesley Ann Kilgore. “Mr. Burgess was selling drugs — both prescription and cocaine — and he was keeping
these drugs at his house at the Loon Lake resort where he lived with his wife and his two teenaged children,” she said, describing the shotguns as a means for Burgess to “protect” his drugs. Police raided Burgess’ home on Feb. 23, 2011, Kilgore said, seizing cocaine, oxycodone, morphine, lorazepam, hydromorphone, temazepam, clonazepam, diazepam and oxazepam. Kilgore said Mounties found six baggies and 18 pill bottles in a dresser in the master bedroom, as well as the loaded shotgun near the top of the bed and another shotgun — this one unloaded — underneath a couch in
the same room. On a bedroom coffee table, she said, investigators found a scale and a rock of cocaine, as well as a number of baggies. They also found two cash bundles totalling $1,000 each, stuffed into the bedroom couch. In other parts of the home, Kilgore said, police uncovered ammunition, more cocaine and 25 additional pill bottles. She said none of the pill bottles were in the name of Burgess or anyone in his family. Burgess’ trial is expected to last two weeks. Loon Lake is 130 kilometres northwest of Kamloops.
A dangerous-offender designation would mean Ferguson could be jailed indefinitely. The Crown will now proceed with its application for a dangerousoffender designation — a hearing at which prosecutors will detail Ferguson’s criminal history in an attempt to prove he should be locked up indefinitely.

Gas is the only protest industry’s latest target in B.C.
T
HE PROSPECT OF piping diluted heavy oil across northern B.C. and loading it in tankers has generated significant genuine protests, as well as bursts of celebrity nonsense, renta-stunts and instant online petitions. Natural-gas pipelines and export terminals, on the other hand, are generally accepted by the public. Premier Christy Clark staked her political future on developing liquefied natural-gas exports and pulled off an upset election win not even Clark expected. Most of the heat she has taken is focused on her extravagant predictions that LNG will pay off the debt and maybe even get rid of our sales tax. But, as I predicted 18 months ago, there’s a shift in the target of professional protesters to natural gas. A reminder of that awaited me on a morning walk to the B.C. legislature during the last week of the May session. At the front gate stood a young woman in a bikini top and shorts, her skin smeared with a dark material, presumably to simulate crude oil. She waved to passing traffic, stretching a banner promoting a website for the “Unist’ot’en camp.” Legislature security intervened to clear the entry walkway before I could ask the protester who was paying her. The fundraising website she was promoting hadn’t been updated since March, but this isn’t the first time this camp has been promoted in B.C. Chevron’s Burnaby oil
TOM FLETCHER Our Man In VICTORIA refinery was also targeted on May 30 by protesters who locked themselves to a gate with bicycle locks and chains. They also cited the Unist’ot’en camp and their aim to stop the Pacific Trails pipeline. The camp came to my attention last summer, when it was promoted by one of Victoria’s chronic anarchist protesters, a woman who goes by the name Zoe Blunt. Blunt and other southern protesters documented their trip north to support the camp’s stated goal — to stop the Pacific Trails gas pipeline, planned to supply the ChevronApache liquefied natural-gas terminal near Kitimat. The camp is on Crown land near Smithers. It was established at the end of a one-lane bridge by two members of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation. While that community’s elected council maintains a respectful relationship with the B.C. government, the splinter group that backs the camp has confrontation in mind. The Unist’ot’en website is a
jumble of demands and claims that alternates between the Pacific Trails gas pipeline and Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal. Like the woman at the legislature, if you want it to be against oil, it’s against oil. A clearer picture of this situation is provided by a relentless blogger named Greg Renouf, who specializes in investigating protesters across Canada. His blog, genuinewitty. com, should be required reading for reporters who are presented with slick banners and posturing protesters. Renouf follows the money as well as the familiar faces who pop up at protest after protest. In April, he reported the increasingly militant Council of Canadians is supporting the Unist’ot’en camp, along with what he describes as “a host of NGOs, unions, militant anarchists and professional protesters.” They include Harsha Walia, who organized violent protests against the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games. Meanwhile, in the real world, TransCanada Corp. announced last week its subsidiary, NovaGas Transmission, has signed an agreement with Chevron and Apache for a gas pipeline that will connect to Pacific Trails. It’s one of four gas pipelines TransCanada has in development for what is planned to be the biggest industrial investment in B.C. history. They can smear it with oil, but gas is the protest industry’s latest target. tfletcher@blackpress.ca
The instant-gratification digital age has detrimentally affected everyone’s ability to see the bigger picture, both as it relates to the past and the future. Two current issues paint a picture of this myopic attitude. Christy Clark is not the first premier to talk about how the process for the way government and teachers bargain is broken. Somehow, because she has said it recently in this round of contentious bargaining, it becomes a new thing, like some kind of revelation. It is not. The characters change in the premier’s office and at the top of the teachers’ union, but the same script is spoken every few years. The facts are, enrolment is down in many jurisdictions, in some places dramatically. When the formula used to fund the system is based on per pupil numbers, the pot is smaller. It’s not rocket science. The teachers also say, every time their contract comes up, they are fighting for the children and the level of their education. If they were only asking for smaller class sizes and a return of supports and enhancements like aides and librarians, that would be more believable. The BCTF says the average salary of a teacher in B.C. is $71,485. While the BCTF is coy about its wage-increase demands, some reports indicate the BCTF is asking for 16 per cent over four years, 21.5 per cent if you work in the increased costs to benefits and reduced workload. You can read the same phraseology, the same comments from both the government and the teachers, in any labour dispute between the parties for the past four decades. As Yogi Berra said, it’s deja vu all over gain. These are not new issues. All of the parties involved should stop treating them as such, admit culpability and move to make real, systemic changes so we’re not talking about the same things in another 20 years.

We all need to stand up for all of our children Editor: I love being a teacher and I was excited about returning from maternity leave to have fun with my students and, hopefully, impact them positively with exciting and engaging educational experiences. Instead, I returned to work just as the government locked me out of my classroom. I am now expected to deliver all my hopes and dreams for my end of the year in 1.5 hours — plus my teaching hours. Let me tell you, that just isn’t possible. I have spent the last two weeks leaving my classroom at the end of the day feeling completely depressed. This lockout gives me 45 minutes before and after school to work and tells me I am not allowed to work during recess and lunch. On Friday, June 6, I had to leave my classroom while I had three students asking me to hear them share a story about their
lives, while one student was bringing me an issue to help them resolve and one student was telling me they didn’t have a lunch. As well, there was (is!) a large pile of student work I am very eager to look through to see if I need to modify it or review it for some of my kids. This is not OK. I am left being a crummy teacher. I can’t create exciting learning experiences for my students. I can’t catch up with every single one of them. I can’t follow up with the students who need a little extra help. I can’t make sure I have taken care of the students who need me to hear their story and who need me to give them a hug at recess. I can’t deliver well-prepared, fun and engaging educational experiences because I am limited by what I time I am allowed to give to my students. Instead of being at home
planning and preparing for work the next day, I am at home, utterly paralyzed. This is killing me. I firmly believe it is exactly what the provincial government wants. It wants teachers to do a crappy job so government has an excuse for further stripping of the public-education system. Government has shown a complete lack of respect for the thousands of children who deserve to have rewarding, engaging and loving experiences at school. Well, those are my kids and enough is enough. I have been in tears more lunch hours than not during these past two weeks. Parents, please stand up for our children. We need to tell government all of our kids deserve better.

COVER PAGE STORY
At RIH ER, 10 OD kits have been issued X From A1
It’s what doctors and paramedics use when treating an overdosed person. The goal at the hospital, Corneil said, is to ensure people who might at some point overdose have the kit with them. They are required to bring a friend or family member with them to the hospital, someone who would likely be nearby to administer naloxone in case of an overdose. Both are given some education about the process and how it works and instructed to call 911 first, then administer naloxone. Because it is similar in molecular shape to the opiate molecule, naloxone blocks the opiate from crossing into
the body’s receptors, but has no other effect on the body, Corneil said. “There’s no risk to taking the drug,” he said. “The only risk is not calling or waiting too long before taking it.” Therein lies a potential problem, however, because studies show many overdoses occur when the drug user is alone, he said. “That speaks to the stigma of drug use,” Corneil said. “When people drink alcohol, they tend to do it with others, but the heroin user is often alone and putting themselves at risk.” Corneil said it’s not always those using illegal drugs who can overdose from opiates. Often, opiates are prescribed for pain control.
The project at Royal Inland Hospital was highlighted at the annual conference of the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians, held in Ottawa during the first week of June. In addition to the ER, kits are available at the IHA’s King Street Clinic in North Kamloops and at the offices of two Kamloops physicians — one who works with addictions and one with chronic-pain patients. Eventually, the goal is to have the program roll out throughout the IHA district, Corneil said, noting the kits help reduce health-care costs when they are used properly. Rather than having “people who are almost dead” arrive at the emergency room, he said,
Union locals to vote on proposal X From A1
While several unions were involved in the council that bargained for the workers, the main union is the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents about 21,000 employees. John Hall, president of CUPE Local 3500, which represents workers in the Kamloops-Thompson school district, said the presidents’ council of which he is a member is recommending the deal to a larger council of union representatives who will be required to make their own decision on recommendation. From there, each returns to their local with their recommendation. Hall said he doesn’t foresee anyone not wanting to move forward with the deal, “but, you never know.” Fassbender said support and clerical workers will still be paid via employeesupport grants if they choose to not cross picket lines put in place by the teachers’ union. Support and clerical workers have not crossed picket lines during the past two weeks of rotating strikes by the
KAMLOOPS
BCTF. Those strikes continue this week, with Kamloops teachers walking out on Friday, June 13. BCTF members began voting yesterday and will finish voting today (June 10) on whether to ramp up job action that could see a provincewide full strike begin as early as Monday, June 16. However, local teachers have been told a strike is not a certainly because the union has tried to avoid escalating actions and took a month after its first strike vote to implement any job action. BCTF president Jim Iker has also said a date for a full strike has not been decided. If teachers vote in favour of increased job action and a full strike, 72 hours’ notice would need to be given. The union’s strike fund is also running low and Kamloops teachers have been told it is unlikely they will get their $50 per day strike pay after this week. Fassbender said there are no plans to recall the legislature, which has recessed for the summer, and legislate teachers back to work.

third of the situations saw 911 phoned — with 1,318 people trained, including 129 friends and family and 692 people who use opiates. The program issued 836 kits, including 126 to replace ones that were used, stolen or lost.
In Kamloops, 10 kits have been issued since the ER in RIH started working with the program in March. There’s another benefit to the program, Corneil said — the chance to talk with the person taking the drug.
“Every time you have an opportunity to provide someone with a way to reduce the harm, it’s a window for a conversation,” he said. “It’s an opportunity to have that talk that might lead them to make a better choice.”

Residents hope to upgrade school with help from SD73 By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
A residents’ association representing the neighbourhood surrounding Stuart Wood elementary is starting to take action. The DowntownWest End Residents Association, chaired by Denis Walsh, has sent a letter to the KamloopsThompson school board asking it to work with the group to find money to upgrade the heritage building, a long-time school being looked at for closure. The group asserts in the letter “a community school is necessary to maintain a vibrant community and to attract new families to this area. “We feel that keeping Stuart Wood functioning would be a key factor in increasing density downtown and in developing a sustainable and healthy environment.” Trustees have been told the building is too old and small to properly function as a school any longer, is not accessible to those with mobility issues and would cost too much to upgrade and renovate. Instead, trustees have
been presented with a domino-like plan that would see the staff and students from Stuart Wood moved to the McGill campus of Beattie School of the Arts. The students and staff there would move to the arts’ school secondary campus in the former John Peterson secondary building on Ninth Avenue, creating a kindergarten to Grade 12 school. South Kamloops secondary students now also using that building would move back to their own school next door — which needs to be replaced because of its age and condition. That requires some provincial-government support but, last year, the government said all capital projects for schools must be cost-shared equally with districts — and SD73 doesn’t have the money to cover the estimated cost of a new South Kamloops secondary. The residents wrote that, should money not be available to renovate and upgrade Stuart Wood, the board “give serious consideration to re-configuring Lloyd George [elementary] as a dual-language community school.” That school is 1.5 kilo-
metres from Stuart Wood and less than a kilometre from Beattie’s Ninth Avenue campus. Its McGill elementary campus is two kilometres
from Stuart Wood. Lloyd George had been a bilingual school but was changed to singletrack French during the last school-board recon-

Kamloops’ unemployment rate rises Jump in May to 7.4% from 5.5% due in part to more job seekers By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The city’s jobless picture worsened in May, in part because more people are looking for work. Statistic Canada’s labourforce survey, released on Friday, June 6, pegged the unemployment rate in May at 7.4 per cent in Kamloops, which is up from 5.5 per cent in May 2013. In the Thompson-Okanagan region, the rate fell to 6.6 per cent from seven per cent a year ago. But, the number of people either working or looking for work in Kamloops is up from last year, a sign of optimism in the economy. It also reflects the fact students are looking for jobs. Canada’s unemployment rate edged back to seven per cent after several months
at 6.9 per cent, an unusual outcome caused by more Canadians entering the work force. However, the real news in the key monthly report from Statistics Canada is that full-time employment fell by 29,100, the second big drop in two months. The dollar weakened modestly on the news, particularly as it compared to a relatively stronger 217,000 job-creation month in the United States. The Canadian numbers did little to alter the prevailing trend of an economy that, after churning out strong job gains in the first few years following the 2008-2009 recession, has largely run out of steam in the one area most important to Canadians — the ability to create well-paying, permanent, full-time jobs. The agency noted that, over the last 12 months, only
86,000 net new jobs have been created — or a mere 0.5 per cent increase — with all the growth part-time. In fact, over that period, the number of Canadians who could be said to be employed full-time fell by almost 27,000, a startling figure given the economy grew by about two per cent during those two months. The Bank of Canada noted the economy had under-performed in the first quarter of 2014 and added the risk in the outlook had skewed slightly to the downside. Economists say the numbers are representative of an economy in transition. The days when housing and, to a lesser extent retail, spending could sustain growth have come to an end, yet the rotation to export-based manufacturing and business investment has yet to take hold.

Bozon family recounts Tim’s chilling brush with death By Marty Hastings
H
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
e woke up in hysterics, screaming in French at the top of his lungs. By nightfall, Tim Bozon would be in a coma, one that would last 12 days and force his family into fearing the worst.
“When we arrived, it was like a nightmare — like he was dead,” said the former Kamloops Blazer’s mother,
Hélène, who spoke to KTW from the family’s home in the south of France on Saturday, June 7.
“You have to live that to explain it. It’s not like your son. He had tubes everywhere and bags with water and antibiotics in the legs, in the neck and in the head . . . everywhere.” On the morning of March 1, Bozon, who the night before had scored a goal for the Kootenay Ice in a 4-2 win over the hometown Saskatoon Blades, was rushed to Royal University Hospital (RUH) and placed in an induced coma. A few hours later, Philippe Bozon, Tim’s father,
stepped onto a runway in his home country of France after a business trip and checked his voice mail. There was a message from Kootenay trainer Cory Cameron and it soon became clear Philippe needed to get back on a plane immediately and jet to Saskatoon. His son had contracted Neisseria meningitis, a rare and potentially fatal bacterial form of the disease. Hélène had read that week in a newspaper about three young French children who had died of meningitis.
She knew how serious the disease could be, but nothing could prepare her for the sight of her unconscious son, motionless, surrounded by doctors and nurses, unfamiliar machines beeping, buzzing and surrounding his bed. “Philippe said he always believed Timmy was going to be alive but, me, I don’t know,” said Hélène, who arrived with her husband at RUH on March 2. “He was always trusting and me, twice, I was thinking it was not good.” Each of the next 10
days were flush with trying moments, differing diagnoses and inescapable thoughts of her own son’s mortality. Even if Tim did make it through, blindness, deafness, paralysis and brain damage were among the possible consequences. Hélène reluctantly brooded — especially on two occasions, when Tim’s outlook became particularly grim — on how she would even begin to handle her son’s death. Philippe refused to muse on the morbid.

Bozon: ‘You don’t recognize yourself anymore’ X From A15
“Me, and I cannot explain why, I always, always believed that he was going to make it,” said Philippe, a former NHLer. “I didn’t even start to think about anything else. Even if family, some people, were thinking about this, I didn’t want to hear about it. I told them, ‘He’s going to get out. We have to think positive. He’s going to fight. He’s going to get out.” The decision was made on March 10 to start the slow process of waking the Montreal Canadiens’ draft pick from his coma, a pivotal point in the process when Tim’s new reality would begin to take shape. “The doctor had been telling us any damage can happen,” Philippe said. “At the beginning, you want to see if he can see, he can hear you and he can speak.” With a team of about 10 doctors and his parents at his bedside, Tim was administered drugs that would lift him from his slumber. His father holding his hand, Tim had a frightening seizure. His mother looked on as he shook for 24 minutes, his eyes rolling back into his head. “He was squeezing my hand so hard for 20 minutes,” Philippe said. “I’ll always remember that. Also, to see his eyes — it’s a bad picture and scary moments.” The seizure was counteracted with sedatives. Doctors conducted tests and continued the awakening process and Tim became more and more responsive over the next two days, following his parents with his eyes and attempting to speak. Philippe said that period was frustrating because it was impos-

sible to communicate properly with his clearly aggravated son. Tim was extremely thirsty, but he was not allowed to drink large amounts of water and he couldn’t understand why. In an odd way, Tim’s anger was a calming sign for Hélène. She had seen that fiery temper before. He was still there. By March 13, Tim was able to sit up in bed and the improvements in the days to follow were astounding. Feeling and movement in his limbs returned and he was soon able to utter raspy words from his parched mouth, which was until then filled with feeding and oxygen tubes. There is much Tim does not remember about those first few days back in the land of the living, but he vividly recalls looking in the mirror for the first time. “I was like, ‘Oh my God. That’s not me,’” he told KTW. “I lost about 40 pounds, even
more than that. You don’t recognize yourself anymore. You’re so skinny. You have nothing on your body. “That was the most difficult thing to accept for me.” The Bozon family was shocked on March 24, Tim’s 20th birthday, when his elder sister, Allison, and younger brother, Kevin, arrived at RUH after making the long trek to Saskatoon from Europe. “Those two decided to make a big surprise to everybody,” Philippe said. “We didn’t even know. It was a great moment.” The winger who made a name for himself in Kamloops playing on a line with JC Lipon and Colin Smith has no recollection of the coma — no bright lights, no dreams and no otherworldly encounters — and he barely recalls scoring against the Blades. “You can believe it or not but, honestly, I don’t remember anything. When I woke up, I looked around and thought,

‘What am I doing here?’ I thought maybe I slept for a long time, two days or 24 hours. It was for 12 days in a coma.” The former Blazer has a new outlook on life. “It’s just bonus now. It’s all a bonus,” Tim said. “I see life in a different way right now. I’m more mature. I feel like I’m going to enjoy my life. “The neuro [RUH neurosurgeon Dr. Gary Hunter] says I’m really lucky after what I got. It’s tough for me to believe or accept that I’m lucky. I don’t realize and I don’t want to think about it, imagining myself without legs or seeing. It’s just, ‘OK, I’m lucky and I battled through it.’ That’s it.” Hélène became emotional when thanking everyone who supported her son — the Western Hockey League, the Saskatoon Blades, the Kootenay Ice, the Kamloops Blazers and the army of Canadians who sent letters, gift certificates, money and comforting words. Angie Mercuri, the Blazers’ executive director of business operations and Tim’s billet mom during his stint in Kamloops, holds a special place in the former Blazer’s heart. She visited him in hospital in Saskatoon.
Tim had a message for anyone who sent encouraging words through social media. “It’s because of all the fans that I’m here right now battling, for myself and my family, too, for sure, but it’s for everybody that helped me, people in Kamloops, who believed in me,” Tim said. “It’s for them I’m fighting to get back on the ice.” Hélène reserved special thanks for Blades’ president Steve Hogle. “He came every day, sometimes twice a day,” she said. “Even when Timmy was in the coma, he would say, ‘Hey Tim, how are you today? Are you ready to go back on the ice?’ “The neuro said to talk to him. “You feel crazy talking to someone with a tube in his mouth in a coma. When Timmy began to wake up, [Hogle] came and said, ‘Oh, are you ready?’ and he [Tim] started to shake. It was just amazing.” Former Kamloops teammate Mitch Lipon, who attended a Goo Goo Dolls concert with Tim on Feb. 27, two days before he fell ill, was a consistent visitor to RUH. “That boy was amazing,” Hélène said.

Turning regular children into Kids of Steel By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Madison Young has the triathlon bug and it’s all because of the Kamloops Kids of Steel Triathlon. The annual Kamloops race is set to kick off its 12th rendition on Sunday, June 22, and Young will be one of about 200 kids participating. Kids of Steel is a fun, familyoriented race, with distances that differ based on participant age. The race is open for kids ranging from 5 to 19 years old and registration is $25, which includes a T-shirt and finisher’s medal, as well as pizza and ice cream at the finish line.
Madison Young
“It’s absolutely about getting kids that haven’t been involved in triathlon before out and exposed to the sport,” race director Kara Wright said. “Lots of kids are swimmers, or they run, or they’re cyclists and it’s just about integrating them into the full, multi-sport option that’s available to them.” Kids of Steel was Young’s
first triathlon — she ran it two years ago as a nine-year-old. Now 11, that first event opened her eyes to the world of multisport races — she has since done other triathlons in Kamloops and Kelowna. “It’s just really fun and it’s a great way to get exercise,” Young told KTW. “I really enjoy swimming and biking and running.” Young is the prototypical Kids of Steel racer — a young participant who had never done a triathlon before and was looking for a low-pressure, fun way into the sport. She came to that first race an experienced swimmer — she’s a member of the Kamloops Swim
Bozon eyes Habs’ rookie camp X From A16
The Bozons said they are forever indebted to the folks at RUH — from the neurosurgeon to the nurses to the priest. Kootenay trainer Cameron was also praised for his quick decision to call an ambulance on March 1, a choice that likely played a major part in saving Tim’s life. Dr. Hunter suggested there’s no reason why Tim can’t make a full recovery. The flying Frenchman was released from RUH on March 28 and is working hard in the south of France, doing rehab and going to the gym. Last week, he skated for the first time since Feb. 28. “After five minutes, I gained everything back, my hands and my skating,” Tim said. “I was really happy and confident for the future.”
He has his sights set on attending the Habs’ rookie camp in September and playing for their American Hockey League affiliate, the Hamilton Bulldogs, next season. Tim even mentioned attending the Canadiens’ prospect camp in July, but admitted that might be a tad overambitious. His mom brought an iPad to the rink and filmed her son’s return to the ice. “Oh, me, I cried. I cried,” Hélène said. “If you think about three months ago, when he was laying down like a dead boy, if someone told you he could be on the ice in June, probably, I would not believe these people. “I don’t know if there is someone up there, but . . . amazing.”
Covering the cost The Bozon family incurred large medi-
cal and rehabilitation costs, with the tab believed to chime in at more than six figures. A trust fund was established to aid the family financially. “All the money people gave will be used to pay what we need in Canada,” Hélène said. “After that, if there’s still money, it will go to people who need it. “There will be not enough words to say thank you to all these people. Kamloops was his first big family in Canada and they will be forever.” Donations can be made at any BMO Bank of Montreal branch in Western Canada. Those living outside that area can mail donations to: Western Hockey League, c/o Tim Bozon, Father David Bauer Arena, 2424 University Drive NW, Calgary AB, T2N 3Y9.

Kamloops’ Gillies cut from Phillies’ 40-man roster The Major League Baseball dream may be over for Kamloops’ Tyson Gillies, who cleared waivers and was removed from the Philadelphia Phillies’ 40-man roster on Friday, June 6, according to The Phillies Zone on Philly. com. The 25-year-old outfielder was a key piece of the deal that saw pitcher Cliff Lee moved to Seattle in 2009, in exchange for pitchers J.C. Ramirez and Phillippe Aumont. In 50 career games in the majors, Gillies averaged .210, with an onbase percentage of .250.

NBA Final tied going into Game 3 By Tim Reynolds ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Dwyane Wade thinks there’s no one better than the Miami Heat at dealing with the mental challenge of the playoffs. In his eyes, only one other team might compare. He’s talking about the San Antonio Spurs. That’s why Wade believes this NBA Final is just getting started. When he looks at the Spurs, he sees qualities his own team has, including an ability to break down a loss and quickly correct things. It’s what Miami did before Game 2 of the finals and it’s what Wade expects
the Spurs to do before the title series resumes with Game 3 in Miami on Tuesday night. “You never put them away,’’ Wade said. “I think they always believe and it’s the same with us. You can’t, you won’t, put us away because we’re always going to believe. That’s why this is a perfect, different animal, kind of series. They’re the other team like us. They don’t lose much and when they do they come back and be better in the next game. So we’ve got to come out and do the same thing.’’ That would explain why on Monday, June 9, instead of a day off, the Heat gathered to watch video of Game 2. By winning in San Antonio to even the finals at 1-1, home-court advantage
now belongs to the Heat. But no one in their locker room thinks it’s going to get easy now. “They came out great. They played a great game,’’ Spurs guard Tony Parker said after Miami’s 98-96 win in Game 2, the 13th straight time the Heat immediately followed a post-season loss with a victory. “Now it’s our turn to go over there and get one. We played pretty well all season long on the road and so we’re going to have two great opportunities to try to come up with a win.’’ Miami has won a franchise-record 11 straight post-season games at home. Game 3 gets underway at 6 p.m. tonight at American Airlines Arena.
Kings unaccustomed to playing with lead By Stephen Whyno CANADIAN PRESS
NEW YORK — Accustomed to clawing back from deficits, the comeback Los Angeles Kings now must figure out how to play with a series lead. Despite not leading for a single second in the Stanley Cup final, Los Angeles had a 2-0 lead on the New York Rangers heading into Game 3, played in the Big Apple after KTW’s deadline on Monday, June 9. That’s not something players are proud of, but somehow it has worked. “We find ourselves in the same situation reguritating the same mumbo jumbo every time,’’ winger Justin Williams said.
“We’re in a resultsoriented league, and the results are we’re up 2-0. I don’t care how we got here.’’ The Kings got to Monday night’s Game 3 by winning four times in these playoffs after falling behind by at least two goals. One more would tie the record set by the 1987 Philadelphia Flyers. “Momentum is a big part of playoff hockey and once a team has it, it’s important to try to switch the tide in your favour as quick as possible,’’ forward Dwight King said. “The longer you let that go, like in the Anaheim series, they get a little more confident and feeling good about their game. When you’re playing a team
that’s got that going for them, it’s a little tougher to defend.’’ The Rangers sounded like a confident group because they’ve gone stride for stride with the seasoned Kings and could believe they were a couple of bounces away from being up 2-0. “I think we played two good games over there,’’ forward Mats Zuccarello said after landing in White Plains, N.Y. “I think we played the best hockey.’’ Maybe the Kings haven’t played their best hockey, and certainly they haven’t at the start of games. They’re the first team in NHL history to win three straight playoff games after trailing by two goals,
having also done it in Game 7 of the Western Conference final against the Chicago Blackhawks. Williams said he can tell a lot about teammates from studying their faces in trying times. “You can read a lot [about] what someone’s thinking by just looking at their face,’’ he said. “Between the second and third [Saturday] night I looked around and I didn’t see anyone scared. I saw a prepared team that knew what they had to do.’’ That’s thanks in large part to being here before. From Williams to captain Dustin Brown, defenceman Drew Doughty, centre Anze Kopitar and goaltender Jonathan Quick down the roster, this
core group has experience going deep in the playoffs. The Kings also now have a resume full of multi-goal comebacks, which hasn’t necessarily made digging out of holes easier but provided perhaps some muscle memory when playing from behind. “I feel together as a team we’ve been through almost all of them you can imagine, and we’ve pulled through,’’ Williams said. ``So when we’re down, do we feel comfortable? No, we don’t feel comfortable. But we feel like we’re able to come back. And belief is a very underrated attribute, and we have that going on within our team right now.’’

Harper: Canada more ‘frank’ on climate change CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper said there is not a country in the world that would take action on climate change at the expense of its own economy — no matter what it might say. Canada wants to deal with climate change without crippling the economy, he said on Monday, June 9, at a news conference with
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott. “And, frankly, every single country in the world, this is their position,’’ Harper said. “No country is going to undertake actions on climate change, no matter what they say . . . that is going to deliberately destroy jobs and growth in their country. “We are just a little more frank about that, but that is the approach that every
country is seeking.’’ Abbott, who is in Ottawa on an official visit, said every country should do what it thinks is best to deal with climate change. “We think that climate change is a significant problem. It’s not the only or even the most important that the world faces, but it is a significant problem,’’ he said. “It’s important that every country should take the action that it thinks is best to reduce
emissions, because we should rest lightly on the planet.’’ Abbott added he is “encouraged’’ by regulations introduced in the United States last week to chop carbon emissions from U.S. power plants by 30 per cent by 2030. Harper said Canada has actually done more than the U.S. to lower carbon emissions in its electricity sector. “The measures outlined by
Housewives daughter gets shot
PM says society does condone legal sex trade By Jim Bronskill CANADIAN PRESS
CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — The daughter of one of the stars of Real Housewives of Vancouver has been injured in a drive-by shooting. Mia Deakin, the daughter of Jody Claman, was shot Sunday night at a gas station in east Vancouver. Deakin, 28, was hit in the shoulder, while a 27-year-old man who was with her received minor injuries. Police say the pair was standing outside their vehicle at the gas station when someone in a grey or silver SUV pulled up and started firing at about 7 p.m. Deakin was a frequent guest star on Slice’s Real Housewives of Vancouver, which chronicled the daily lives of a group of wealthy socialites, which often descended into gossiping and arguments. Shaw Media, which owns Slice, announced last year the show would not be returning for a third season as the company considered potential changes to the cast or location. Police believe the shooting was targeted, noting the man with Deakin was arrested on an outstanding warrant. Deakin was last reported to be in stable condition.
President Obama, as important as they are, do not go nearly as far in the electricity sector as the actions Canada has already taken ahead of the United States in that particular sector,’’ Harper said. American approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, designed to move Alberta crude to the Gulf Coast, has been stalled in the U.S. while the Obama administration drops hints Canada must do more on the environment.

Defence of accused will not call witnesses CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Defence lawyers for two alleged Vancouver-area gang members on trial for the murders of six people, including two innocent bystanders, will not call witnesses. Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston are each charged with one count of conspiracy and six counts of first-degree murder for a mass killing in Surrey in October 2007. Their lawyers have told the judge hearing the
case they aren’t calling any evidence. Closing submissions are scheduled to begin on July 2. The trial has heard from 73 witnesses, including former gang leader Michael Le, who was charged in the same case, then pleaded guilty to conspiracy midway through the trial and agreed to become a co-operating witness. The Crown alleges the killing began as a hit on a rival drug trafficker, but five others were killed to eliminate potential witnesses.
Ottawa’s decision on Northern Gateway imminent CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — With the clock ticking down for his government’s decision on Northern Gateway, Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford said there have been significant strides forward around pipeline and marinetraffic safety in talks between
Ottawa and First Nations. But, Rickford said, all agree there remain issues “around a specific project’’ or “specific aspects of energy transportation.’’ With a June 17 deadline for a final decision on the pipeline, Rickford gave no hint of when or what that decision will be. He’s been in B.C. repeatedly in
recent weeks and returned to deliver a speech to a marine-traffic and tanker-safety summit organized by the Musqueam Indian Band in Vancouver. Leaders of the three most powerful aboriginal organizations in B.C. met with the minister, but say the answer remains “no’’ to Northern Gateway.
OTTAWA — The Conservatives are cracking down on johns and pimps because legalizing their activities would be unacceptable to Canadians, according to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. In defending new government legislation on prostitution, Harper said activities related to the sex trade are outlawed because they are harmful to women in particular and society in general. “They are not harmful because they are illegal,’’ Harper said. “They are illegal because they are harmful.’’ Legislation introduced this month would, if passed, criminalize the purchase of sexual services, take aim at those who benefit from prostitution and outlaw the sale of sex near places where children gather. The new prostitution-related offences are intended to reduce demand for sexual services, shield sex workers from exploitation and safeguard children and communities. The legislation is the government’s response to a Supreme Court of Canada decision in December that struck down chief elements of the country’s prostitution laws. Under the old laws, prostitution itself was legal but almost all related activities — including communicating in a public place for the purposes of prostitution, pimping and running a brothel — were criminal offences. The Supreme Court was concerned the provisions unduly increased the risk to sex workers, declared them in violation of the Charter of Rights and gave Parliament a year to ponder the situation. Some critics, including the NDP, say the proposed law introduced last week is deeply flawed and likely unconstitutional because it does not adequately protect women, failing to meet the court’s primary concern. During question period on Monday, June 9, in the House of Commons, NDP Deputy Leader Megan Leslie accused the government of putting politics ahead of competence. “Instead of reducing the risks that women face, the bill risks entrenching extremely problematic aspects of the old legislation,’’ Leslie said. Since the bill’s introduction, the government has repeatedly rejected the idea of asking the Supreme Court to rule on its compliance with the charter. MPs will soon have a chance to debate the bill, said Bob Dechert, parliamentary secretary to the justice minister. “It is for the government to propose legislation. It is for Parliament and all of its members to debate that legislation,’’ Dechert said. “In our view, it meets every test of the Supreme Court decision.’’

Restrictions eased day before helicopter escape from prison CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — Security restrictions against three men who escaped from prison in a helicopter were eased just a day before their daring getaway, according to Quebec’s deputy premier. Lise Theriault said a judge granted a request by the trio on Friday, June 6, to have more flexible detention conditions, including the possibility they no longer be obliged to wear handcuffs. Theriault, who is also public security minister, told a news conference in Nicolet, Que., she doesn’t know why the judge agreed to the request. “On Friday, the prisoners petitioned a judge to have their measures of confinement loosened and the judge agreed,’’ she said. Later, she told reporters in Quebec City the decision was
“questionable’’ given the sequence of events that followed. The spectacular escape dominated question period in the national assembly on Monday, June 9, with Theriault peppered on the subject for more than 30 minutes. She was asked several times by interim Parti Quebecois Leader Stephane Bedard why the government did not appeal the judge’s decision. Theriault’s repeated response was that everything would be made public “at the opportune moment.’’ At one point, she pointed out that the inmates’ request to have their security restrictions eased was first made on March 21, when the PQ government was in power. The public-security minister also said a plan had been put in place in Quebec’s detention centres to make sure it wouldn’t happen again — although she didn’t provide any details.
Yves Denis, Denis Lefebvre and Serge Pomerleau escaped from the Orsainville Detention Centre in suburban Quebec City on Saturday evening (June 7) when a chopper landed in a courtyard, scooped them up and quickly took off. Police say the three men were originally arrested on drug-trafficking and gangsterism charges in 2010. The Quebec provincial police website also says Denis, 35, is facing first-degree murder charges, while Lefebvre, 53, and Pomerleau, 49, are facing charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Premier Philippe Couillard echoed his deputy premier, saying the No. 1 priority is to capture the fugitives. “First and foremost today, we must be sure that those individuals will be captured [and] brought back to jail so they cannot harm anyone,’’
he said in Montreal. Couillard said two important areas need to be studied. “Here I see elements like the levels of security inside the jail, and also how air traffic is monitored above our security institutions,’’ Couillard told reporters at an economic forum. Theriault said the incident will lead to renewed discussions with Ottawa about how to control air space over detention centres in Quebec. She said she would meet with officials in her department to discuss additional security measures, notably the installation of metal wiring above detention centres to prevent helicopters from landing. There were reports that steel wire aimed at preventing such escapes had been bought but not installed at detention centres. “We’re going to look into that,
to see why it wasn’t installed,’’ she said. “I just want to remind you that I’ve only been on the job for six weeks.’’ Theriault defended police as they continued their search for the convicts. “It’s not easy,’’ she said. “Quebec is big. There are a lot of places where people can hide.’’ Saturday’s helicopter escape had similarities to another bold jailbreak in Quebec. A helicopter pilot was forced at gunpoint to fly to a prison in St-Jerome in March 2013. Two convicts climbed a rope ladder into the hovering helicopter and fled. The two escapees and the two men accused of hijacking the chopper were picked up by police in Mont-Tremblant, about 85 kilometres away, within a few hours of the escape.
Canadian think tanks revive F-35 fighter plane engine-safety debate By Murray Brewster CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Two groups opposed to the possible purchase of the F-35 say the singleengine jet fighter would be too dangerous for the Canadian military to use over remote stretches of the country, particularly the Arctic. The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and the Rideau Institute released a new report on Monday, June 9, that argues whatever jet replaces the country’s CF-18s should have two engines.
The study, by defence expert Michael Byers, follows a report months ago that questioned the enormous cost of the Lockheed Martin stealth fighter. Public Works Minister Diane Finley told the House of Commons there’s been no decision on whether the government will stick with the controversial F-35 or proceed with a full competition. A market analysis, which looked at alternatives and was compiled by a panel of independent experts, is still being assessed. Defence insiders say the study does not make a specific recommendation for cabinet to consider, but rather lays out the capabilities
of each aircraft and their availability. Byers argued cabinet needs to consider the safety aspect of operating a single-engine fighter and he compares the F-35 to the CF-104 Starfighter, which also had a single engine. The Starfighter was used by the air force for 26 years — from the 1960s to the 1980s — and was involved in crashes so often it was nicknamed “The Widow Maker’’ by pilots. Byers said about a quarter of the jet’s 110 crashes were attributed to bird strikes, which resulted in engine failure. A total of 39 pilots died flying the CF-104s. “We learned that lesson in 1980,’’ when the
Trudeau government chose the twin-engine CF-18, Byers said. “It seems now that the government may be forgetting that lesson. “And I would not want the F-35 to be Canada’s next widow maker.’’ The debate over whether a single- or dual-engine fighter was appropriate given the country’s vast geography has raged in fits and starts since the Harper government elected to pursue the F-35 in the summer of 2010. Government officials argued at the time there were no statistics that showed one type of aircraft was safer than the other, but Byers points to U.S. air force data that demonstrates single-engine jets have crashed more often.

Others Who Have Gone Before
By Joanetta Hendel, Indianapolis, Indiana
Others who have gone before Hold up my trembling hand. They comfort me in the blind despair I cannot understand. They suffer with me when I hurt, Weep with me in my pain, Remind me that we are not lost ... Though I must now remain. Those who’ve gone before me, Hear me when I cry. Sing softly with me soothing chords Of unsung lullabies. Mourn anniversaries never marked, A future I cannot keep. They gently kiss the pain away, And love my heart to sleep. The ones who’ve gone before me Hold me in my dreams. They gently stroke my furrowed brow, And calm my silent screams. They love me in my heartache, Wait quietly nearby., Hold patiently, one to another Till I join them by and by.

erhaps the video for Time Breaks Down best exemplifies Bend Sinister. It begins with a slow, almost classical tone, Dan Moxon sitting at the piano with a ballerina dancing. Quickly, it segues to a graffitidecorated alley and that same dancer, her tight bun gone and dressed in denim and sneakers with moves that would have made Bob Fosse proud.
“We don’t like to don one thing,” said Moxon, lead singer of Bend Sinister. “We like diversity.” Acknowledging the “large divide” between the band’s mellow sounds and its “energetic rock,” Moxon said “we don’t really care what we perform. We write songs we like to write and perform.” The Vancouver-based band has been busy since it began in 2000, pumping out Stories of Brothers, Tales of Lovers, Spring Romance, Through the Broken City, The Warped Pain and a self-titled album.
Earlier this year, it released Animals and the band’s heading out on a tour to help promote it, one that will see plenty of summer-festival gigs — and a stop in Kamloops for a show tonight (June 10) at Cactus Jack’s Night Club, 130 Fifth Ave. Moxon said he started the band out of high school. His plan was to go into film and he enrolled at Simon Fraser University with that career in mind, but music called him back. There have been different lineups through the year — the band
now has Jason Dana on drums, Joseph Blood on guitar and Matt Rhode on bass — with Moxon always the heart of the group, usually at the piano, but just as likely to pick up a guitar or take a turn on drums. Anything goes with the music — at times, their sound has been likened to some of the genre that produced Hall and Oates while, other times, it’s been more jazzy or even metal. Whatever the sound, Bend Sinister loves to hit the road, with a special preference for outdoor
gigs — it’s also on the Music in the Park roster for the summer. “It’s nicer to play outdoors and the crowds are bigger,” Moxon said. For those heading to hear them at Cactus Jack’s, Moxon promises “funky rock ’n roll . . . with tiedyed tees and much more.” Joining the band at Cactus Jack’s is River City Magic. Tickets are $8 in advance and $12 at the door, taxes and service charges extra. Tickets are available online at bendsinistercjs.eventbrite.ca.

Hunt for treasures this summer at Wells Gray Wells Gray Provincial Park is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year with a family treasure hunt. The multi-day hike and hunt is dubbed the Kids-in-Wild-Nature Treasure Hunt and is ideal as a family camping trip. Treasure hunters have two options for their clues — one can be solved trailside and the other is designed for geocaching enthusiasts. Each option requires a special guidebook designed for the event and available at the Wells Gray Information Centre in Clearwater. Participants can enter their solution to the centre in person or by mail. The winner receives $3,000 or an original painting donated by Robert Bateman. Second prize is $700 or one of six paintings by Doris Laner. The hunt runs from June until August. Proceeds are being donated to the Thompson Rivers University Wilderness Centre, near the south-
COMMUNITY ern entrance to Wells Gray. For more information, go online to waysofenlichenment.net/ wells/hunt.kits-wild or phone 250-674-3334.
Big Little plans The Big Little Science Centre has some big plans heading into the summer. On Thursday, June 12, the North Kamloops venue will host a free lecture on water usage and conservation. Jaimi Garbutt, an environmental educator for the City of Kamloops, will host the event with an emphasis on why conservation is important and how it can be accomplished. Participants will be able to take home a water-saving device. The lecture begins at 7 p.m. and the doors open at 6:30 p.m. Later in the week, the centre will host Flight and Kite Day on Saturday, June 14.
Demonstrations of radio-controlled planes and trick kites will take place from 10 a.m. until noon and attendees are encouraged to bring their own kite. Pond Creature Exploration will be held on Saturday, June 21, and will explore the water from a local pond using microscopes and lenses. A discussion about pond life will take place at 11 a.m. and at 1:30 p.m. and the water will be out for examining from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. On Saturday, June 28, the Static Electricity Show will be held at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The centre is located at 655 Holt St. in the old Happyvale School.
Doctor on disorders Dr. Robert Conroy of Inspire Chiropractic and Wellness Studio will lead a workshop on neuro-developmental disorders on Thursday, June 12, at 7 p.m. at the

Hybrid takes Camry to new levels of efficiency
A
few years ago when I wrote about gaselectric hybrids, I was talking about a concept that was totally foreign to many readers. That’s certainly not the case these days thanks in a large part to Toyota and its emphasis on hybrid technology, particularly with the Prius model. Prius has now grown to a family of four, taking Toyota’s hybrid models up to six. The other two are the Highlander Hybrid and the Camry Hybrid, the subject of this review. The Camry Hybrid is a no-brainer for Toyota, given the success the regular Camry sedan has had over the years. It’s a perennial leader in mid-size car sales here and south of the border because it offers what most buyers want in a mid-size offering roominess, reliability and fuel-efficiency. The hybrid version of the Camry offers all of the above, and then improves on the level of fuel-efficiency, particularly when it comes to city driving. In 2013, Canadians purchased more than 3,100 Camry Hybrids, not an insignificant number in this era of niche products. There are two regular trim levels on the Camry Hybrid, the LE and high-end XLE. However, a couple of months ago, Toyota added a special edition SE model that is tested here. The SE will be available for a limited time only and blends the regular hybrid powertrain with a sporty appearance package. It includes a full body skirt package, rear spoiler, sport-style grille and other exterior features. Inside, the cabin gets unique front sport seats with special fabric, a power adjustable driver’s seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, aluminum scuff plates and more. It is priced at $29,540, just a touch below the XLE starting price of $29,615. The LE starts at $27,760. Even the base LE is well dressed with features such as dual-zone automatic climate control with cabin air filter and humidity sensor, key lockout protection, a fuel economy meter and Eco indicator, a multi-information display, high-visibility Optitron instrumentation, a smart key system with push button start, electric power steering and hybrid regenerative braking. The XLE adds features like 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, eight-way power adjustable driver’s

seat, electro chromatic rear view mirror with digital compass, leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, anti-theft system, fog lamps and more. What sets the Camry Hybrid apart from much of the midsize pack is its fuel economy. It’s all because of Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive system on the Camry that includes a 2.5-litre DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine with a 105 kW electric drive motor, producing 200 net hp. Power for the system is stored in a sealed nickel-metal hydride battery, stored behind the rear seat. This power is transferred to the front wheels with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (CVT), unlike the regular Camry sedan that uses a six-speed automatic transmission. Another advantage of the hybrid is lower emissions. In fact, Toyota says the Hybrid Synergy Drive produces nearly 70 per cent few smog-forming emissions than the typical new conventional vehicle. For those who have never driven a hybrid, you’d be surprised how seamless everything operates. When you consider that the car is being propelled either through electric power alone, gas power alone or a combination of the two, it seems like a very complicated system. And it is, but for the driver, it is all done automatically with onboard computers controlling the entire operation, even stopping the engine when the car is at rest and starting it again when the foot comes off the brake pedal. And for even greater fuel-efficiency, the driver can choose Eco mode, which tames down aggressive throttle response and generally lowers performance levels. During slow city driving, electric (EV) mode can be selected but when more power is needed, the gasoline engine kicks in automatically.

Hybrid Camry ‘does everything fairly well’ X From B6
Natural Resources Canada pegs the Camry Hybrid SE fuel economy at 4.5/4.9/4.7L/100 km city/ hwy/combined. In real world driving, I wasn’t able to match those numbers, posting a com-
bined 6.1L/100 km average in mostly high-speed highway driving. The Camry Hybrid will hold five passengers, four comfortably and the 60/40 split rear seat folds to add more cargo space to the respectable 370 litres in the trunk.
The pass-through is small, though, because the battery area takes up trunk space in the rear. On the road, the Camry Hybrid has decent acceleration for a four-door sedan. The ride is more soft than sporty and the handling is acceptable.
In short, it does everything fairly well, but in an unexciting way. And, that’s certainly not a criticism as buyers over the years have made the Camry sedan the best selling midsize in the market. The cabin is nicely finished inside with quality
materials throughout. Our test model had leather seats with fabric inserts, plenty of gauges to show power/fuel usage and easyto-operate audio and climate systems. With a price under the $30,000-mark, the Camry Hybrid makes an excellent
choice for mid-size buyers who do a lot of urban driving. While the price is about $2,000 higher than the regular Camry SE sedan, the fuel economy is better and you’re doing your small part to reduce exhaust emissions into the atmosphere.

there for him? When thinking of gifts for Father’s Day, families tend to gravitate to the familiar — socks and ties, barbecue tools, golf clubs or, if he’s lucky, concert tickets or the latest electronic gadget. Sure, dad will thank you for these gifts and he’ll probably even enjoy them. But, why not shake things up this year and give him something totally unexpected — the gift of you, in-person and techfree. Foresters, a financial services provider committed to family well-being, is challenging families to take a Tech Timeout this Father’s Day. Turn off the smartphones, unplug the television, put away the video games and disconnect to reconnect with dad. Get outside, go for a
activity — as long as it’s tech-free. “Father’s Day is a poignant reminder that our best family memories are created when we spend time together and share experiences with each other,” says Kasia Czarski, senior vice-president and chief membership and marketing officer with Foresters. “Whether you’re thinking about your own father, or your relationship with your children, it’s things like learning to ride a bike, going on the annual family road trip or grilling the perfect burger that stay in our minds. “We launched the Tech Timeout challenge to help families remember what’s important and I think that idea is captured perfectly in our Tech Timeout video just in time for Father’s Day.”
becoming concerned about society’s growing dependence on technology and the impact it could have on family well-being; in some cases, even fostering social isolation among people who live under the same roof. While families can benefit from a technology break at any time of the year, once-a-year celebrations like Father’s Day provide an ideal opportunity for everyone to disconnect and to make the guest of honor feel truly celebrated and loved. The Tech Timeout challenge encourages families to take a daily scheduled one-hour break from their electronic devices and reconnect with each other in a more personal way. Families can sign the Tech Timeout pledge wall to accept the challenge at TechTimeout.com.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Shop around for the best deals before making a big purchase, Cancer. A little extra work can lead to substantial savings. There are deals to be had, so be patient.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Expect to reach a milestone in your life, Leo. This may have something to do with your family or career. Either way, the praise you will receive is warranted.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Try not to push yourself too hard this week, Scorpio. This is a good time to maintain a low profile. Drawing too much attention to yourself might ruffle the wrong feathers this week.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, something will bring a smile to your face early in the week, and there’s pretty much nothing that can put you in a bad mood. This is an ideal time to get things accomplished.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 You are never one to walk away from a challenge, Capricorn. This week you will be presented with a big obstacle, and you will have to step up to tackle the hard stuff.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Keep your eyes open and you just may stumble on something new and fascinating this week, Aquarius. This is a good time to explore new ideas and apply them to your daily life.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Someone gets bent out of shape over something that seems laughable to you, Pisces. You may need to adjust your view.
