Another TRU student with assault conviction By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Another Thompson Rivers University international student has been convicted of a violent crime in a Kamloops courtroom — the third such instance in the last year. Ravi Chaudhary pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court on Monday, June 23, to one count of assault dating back to last September. Court heard the 25-year-old was drunk just after 3 a.m. on Sept. 21, 2013, when he approached a woman outside the Crossroads Inn on Seymour Street in downtown Kamloops. Video surveillance shows Chaudhary putting his arm around the woman, whom he did not know, as she entered the building. “That video surveillance paints a pretty clear picture,” said Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo, explaining Chaudhary was pursuing the woman “with a romantic pursuit in mind.” The video shows the woman fend off Chaudhary with a kick. He responded by punching her in the face. “From then on, they were slapping at each other until they went out of view,” Caputo said. The woman told police she was staying at the Crossroads Inn and had made a late-night trip to the nearby 7-Eleven store when she was approached by Chaudhary. “This young lady was essentially just going about her business,” Caputo said. “She attempted to rebuff his advances and Mr. Chaudhary got violent with her for rebuffing that advance.” Caputo said Chaudhary was upset following his arrest. “He was crying hysterically while pleading with police to let him go,” Caputo said.

Defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen said his client, who is from India, was “grossly intoxicated” when the assault took place. Chaudhary, who works at the Coast Kamloops Hotel, has an engineering degree from a university in India and is at TRU studying marketing. He plans to apply for a visa and stay in Kamloops following his graduation in December — something Jensen said would be impacted by a criminal record. Kamloops provincial court Judge Roy Dickie gave Chaudhary a conditional discharge, meaning he won’t have a criminal record if he keeps his nose clean while on a 12-month probation term. Probation terms include an order prohibiting Chaudhary from drinking alcohol and another requiring him to complete 15 hours of community service before school starts in the fall. Earlier this month, Kudzai Mujuru, a TRU international student from Zimbabwe, was ordered to pay $1,000 in fines and $10,000 in dental costs after he beat up two men in separate incidents — one in November 2012 and another in April 2013. Last November, Yousef Mohammed Almotairi, an international student from Saudi Arabia, was jailed for six months after nearly killing another Saudi TRU World student by jamming a pool cue through his eye and into his brain during a 2012 fight inside a downtown Kamloops bar. The victim, Abdulaziz Alhedaib, was left with permanent disabilities as a result of the incident. On June 12, Alhedaib was charged with assault with a weapon — a knife — and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose stemming from an alleged unrelated domestic dispute in May. He is due in court on July 7.

With sidewalk portion, Overlanders Bridge repair job could top $9-million mark The cost of repairs to Overlanders Bridge will rise to $9.5 million if Kamloops city council accepts a staff recommendation today (June 24) to reconstruct the failing sidewalk on the west side of the span.

City council to decide candidate requirements By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops city council will have the option today (June 24) of raising the bar for future candidates looking to take a run at a council seat. However, city staff say the change would create more work without discouraging fringe candidates. Candidates typically require two nominators in Kamloops’ elections, but the city has the option to require 10 or 25 signatures when it passes the 2014 election-procedure bylaw, which is up for debate today at city hall. While some have proposed a higher

threshold as a way to ensure only serious candidates put their names forward for office, chief elections official Cindy Kennedy said her counterparts in communities that require more nominators haven’t seen that benefit. In preparation for the Nov. 5 election, council also has to sign off on this year’s special-voting opportunities, which include mobile polling stops at a number of seniors’ residences and a four-hour poll at Thompson Rivers University on the Thursday before general voting day. The city also wants to set up a voting booth in Sahali Mall, but needs council permission to do so because the mall isn’t open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., which is the

standard requirement for voting places. Kennedy said the city hopes to increase voter turnout by putting polling stations in more public places, like malls, though Sahali is the only mall among three in Kamloops to agree to host voting. McArthur Island Sports Centre will also host voting for the first time this year, as will Heritage House in Riverside Park. Patients, staff and visitors at Royal Inland Hospital will also have access to the polls on-site, though Kennedy said that voting place will only be open to those who have other business at the hospital, rather than to the general public.

Chase man ﬁned for pursuing Mountie on highway By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A chase in Chase that had a man in pursuit of a Mountie has left a man $900 poorer. A Chase resident admitted to a provincial court judge he “overreacted” when he pursued a fleeing Mountie in an RCMP cruiser on the Trans-Canada Highway in April 2013. Police were so alarmed they dispatched a helicopter to assist. Shawn David Henry pleaded guilty to uttering threats following the two-part altercation last year, with provincial court judge Len Marchand levying a $900 fine. Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan said the incident began when RCMP received a call about a suspected impaired driver on the highway. Henry, whose vehicle fit the description, was pulled over. Flanagan said Henry was “hostile from the minute she [Mountie] first spoke to him.” Henry was not impaired and told the Mountie he was being targeted due to his Metis heritage.

“She describes him as just out of control,” Flanagan said. The Mountie then wrote Henry a ticket for a broken windshield. “She wanted out of the scene and left the ticket on the screen,” Flanagan said. An incensed Henry — “loud, vulgar and abusive,” according to Flanagan — then called 911 and began approaching the cruiser. Flanagan said Henry made threats to the officer during the 911 call, during which he complained about abuse and racism. The Mountie then drove away — and the episode may have ended, Flanagan said. Two hours later, again on the TransCanada Highway, the officer saw Henry approaching from the other direction. As the vehicles passed, Flanagan said the Mountie could see Henry leaning toward his windshield — as if peering as in to see who was behind the wheel of her cruiser. Henry then made a U-turn and began to follow the Mountie. “She’s very concerned and doesn’t know what Mr. Henry’s been doing in the past two hours,” Flanagan said, noting

the officer decided to avoid confrontation until other units could assist. The call went out and RCMP dispatched other members and a helicopter. The Mountie either eluded Henry or he gave up following the RCMP cruiser. He was later arrested. Defence lawyer Don Campbell said the incident was a case of escalating overreaction on both sides. “I overreacted at the highway stop,” Henry admitted to the sentencing judge. “It was a little immature on my part. I’ve got no intention of chasing after police officers. I’m not a violent guy.” Marchand also ordered that Henry must agree to allow his employer to provide information about his work as part of the three-year probation he is serving for the earlier crimes. The incident is the second time Henry has been involved in a bizarre criminal incident. He was sentenced last year after terrorizing his daughter’s 15-year-old friend during a sleepover. He was found guilty after trial of assault with a weapon, uttering threats and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

Trio arrested after police chase, weapons seizure By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Police seized guns — including a loaded handgun — and arrested three males following a chase along the Trans-Canada Highway on the west side of the city on Friday, June 20. The afternoon incident in Aberdeen yielded a loaded handgun and multiple long guns found in the trunk of an abandoned vehicle with stolen licence plates. Two men were arrested by Kamloops RCMP around the Aberdeen Canadian Tire, but a third evaded capture until about 10 p.m. that night. He was arrested in the McKinley Court area of Sahali. During the search for him, police advised striking teachers at Aberdeen elementary school there were reports of suspects with a gun in the area, while a youth soccer practice at Dufferin elementary was cancelled. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the episode started at about 1 p.m. when police received multiple calls of an erratically driven vehicle in the area of Pacific Way and

Hugh Allan Drive. RCMP combed the area, but didn’t find the vehicle. About a half-hour later, police received more calls from the same area. An RCMP officer in a cruiser spotted a vehicle that matched the description heading westbound on the TransCanada Highway near Copperhead Drive. Learned said the Mountie stopped the pursuit when speeds became too high and an alert was radioed to detachments in Merritt, Ashcroft and Logan Lake. At the same time, Learned said, there were multiple RCMP and commercial-enforcement vehicles at the TransCanada weigh station, where the Mountie went after stopping the chase. The same officer saw the car again — this time heading back into Kamloops. “We had multiple vehicles in the area that choked off the access points,” Learned said. “We started working inbounds.” The vehicle was found — a number of long guns in its trunk — abandoned in the parking

lot of the former Rona building. Near the same time, a report came in of three males running across the pedestrian overpass near

Canadian Tire. Learned said one suspect was arrested in a delivery vehicle parked in a loading bay at the retailer shortly before 3

p.m. A second suspect was arrested nearby. Police also seized a backpack that Learned said contained a loaded handgun.

Climbing in memory of his grandfather SURF AND TURF $ Ben Creasser was just a kid when his grandpa Lloyd started showing the symptoms. “I remember he’d go to the grocery store for tomatoes and come back with a bag of potatoes every time,” said Creasser, 20. “So there was like 10 bags of potatoes in the basement when they actually needed tomatoes or carrots or something. Just little things like that.” At first the Creassers chalked it up to old age and hearing loss, but when Lloyd was eventually diagnosed with vascular dementia, years of confusion began to make sense. “You could tell he was really struggling to understand or follow conversations, or just simple social cues,” Creasser said. “He couldn’t pick up on them. “That’s what I remember most as a kid, just wondering why my grandfather couldn’t understand.” Lloyd passed away in 2007. Three years ago Creasser’s paternal grandfather received his own diagnoses of Alzheimer’s, sending his family down a familiar path. “It’s hard,” he said. “It’s hard to see your loved ones decline mentally, just to remember how they were when you were little and how they are now.” This September Creasser is planning to take on his own challenge in honour of his grandparents. As part of a team of six, he’ll fly to Tanzania to climb 19,340 feet to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro and raise awareness and funds for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. So far, Creasser has raised more than $10,000 for the society through pub nights, garage sales, contributions from local businesses and other donations. The Alzheimer Society has staged a climb of the mountain every year since 1998. In 1999, former premier and then-opposition leader Gordon Campbell and his family made the ascent. Creasser is the youngest person to make the climb on behalf

The team will train together with some practice hikes before the main climb, but Creasser said Kilimanjaro will be unlike anything he’s attempted before. “The hike itself will be hard, just the long days. I think we’re hiking 12 hours a day for however long,” he said. “But I think the really hard part is going to be the altitude, because the air is so much thinner as you get higher.” He said he wants the climb to honour Lloyd, an avid outdoorsman, and to spread keep the

Then they won’t have to go through what my family went through.” To learn more about Creasser’s climb or donate to the ascent, visit alzheimerbc.org/ ascent.

A brief history of demands of teachers in British Columbia

FEW THINGS HAVE changed since the last allout teacher strike in B.C. That was just two years ago, when the B.C. Teachers’ Federation was coming off its second-ever voluntary agreement with a 16 per cent raise over five years and what the union termed an “enhanced” signing bonus of $4,000 per teacher. Even with special teacher-only top-ups, BCTF members almost rejected the last of the government’s big-spending pre-Olympic labour deals signed in 2006. By 2012, outraged teachers were back on the legislature lawn, howling for another 16 per cent, with backup vocals provided as usual by HEU, CUPE, BCGEU and other public-sector unions that settled for less. Teachers had just sailed through a crippling global recession with a series of raises, but were oblivious to all that. Last week, the protest venue switched to Vancouver, where both the crowd and the demands looked a bit thinner. The signing bonus target is up to $5,000 per teacher, but the raise is a mere 8 per cent over five years (compounded, for those who passed math), plus another huge basket of cash disguised as benefit improvements and so forth. Government negotiators put their total compensation demand at 14.5 per cent. One obvious dodge: They want the bottom two steps of the teacher salary grid dropped. That’s simply a raise for entry-level teachers. Admittedly, those are rare

TOM FLETCHER Our Man In VICTORIA creatures these days, with shrinking enrolment and ironclad seniority rules that allow retired teachers to monopolize substitute work. Something else that’s changed since 2012 is that the government has granted the BCTF’s wish to bargain directly with the province. The education ministry executed a takeover of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association after last year’s election, and installed veteran industrial union negotiator Peter Cameron. He’s backed up by long-time labour specialist Lee Doney, whose task is to keep the teacher deal within Treasury Board limits that have defined all other public sector union settlements. Doney made it clear last week that no mediator is going to come in and “split the baby” as long as the BCTF position is so far beyond the current compensation framework. Despite constant union complaints of low wages and deteriorating working conditions in B.C. schools, education grads remain lined up around

the block hoping to get in. Why is that? For those who have been exposed to life outside school for a while, it’s fairly simple. The job market out here in the real world is tough. And here’s how the real world evaluates a teaching job. Start with 189 working days, each nine hours long as per the accepted definition, and the top-heavy seniority list that places the average teacher salary at around $72,000 a year. That works out to $42.32 an hour, plus a suite of benefits that most private-sector employees can only dream about, starting with three months of prime-time vacation. I am occasionally lectured by teachers that the job goes far beyond five hours in the classroom and an additional four hours a day preparing and marking. They throw out different estimates, variously defined. Alas, it’s a salaried job, and we salaried employees in the real world don’t waste a lot of time counting hours. Here’s the work, here’s the deadline, here’s the pay. Take it or leave it. Consider another union demand that seems to be just another thinly disguised raise. The BCTF wants a large increase in preparation time for elementary school. There are no duties being added here. For this one item, government negotiators calculate the cost to taxpayers at $86.2 million every year by the fifth year of the BCTF proposal. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Support our province’s dairy farmers The price being paid for the cruelty exhibited in a video released to the media this month keeps climbing. It has already rightly cost the jobs of those who allegedly beat dairy cattle at Chilliwack Cattle Sales, and criminal charges are under review. But, the tally hasn’t stopped there. The reputation of an entire industry, and the thousands of people who work in it, is now being so sullied it is breathtaking. The anger, hatred and derision displayed in online comments and in social media borders on hysterical. An online petition spurred dairy behemoth Saputo to force the BC Milk Marketing Board to backtrack on its earlier decision to rescind a suspension of milk collection from the farm. Now, every day, thousands of litres of milk is being transported to the United States for destruction. But, that penalty isn’t high enough for the online lynch mob. It’s already convicted the eight dairy workers of animal cruelty, as well as the people they worked for. Now it’s branded every dairy farmer in the country as a vicious sadist whose gleeful pursuit of profit comes at the cost of the animals in his or her care. To be clear, the behaviour portrayed in that video is abhorrent. But, so are the actions of those trying to destroy the lives and livelihoods of so many. Agriculture is a critical part of B.C.’s economy, generating more than $700 million annually in economic activity. More than half of that can be attributed to dairy farms. Not only do dairy farmers help feed a hungry world, they create jobs, fuel associated businesses and insulate us against the vagaries of a fluctuating global economy. None of this is an excuse for abuse. But, to say that all must pay for the actions of a few is such a contortion of decency and justice it defies belief. Dairy farmers deserve our support. Not only because they need it right now, but because they’ve earned it.

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

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Letter: Caribou endangered species, ‘declining at alarming rate’: “Resolution of such an important issue should involve local input. “Terry Lake’s planned meeting on June 28 is overdue. “Canfor doesn’t appear to take the opposition seriously as they are actively logging highly visible slopes on the western side of the river as we speak. “Once again, immediate profit trumps longterm investment.” — posted by Susan Dalby

Re: City hall more popular than McArthur at tax time: “Great job — setting up a temporary tax office for $45,000 that is barely being used. “That will cost the tax payers even more. Ironic. “As soon as it was announced, not one person said it was a good idea, but the braintrust at city hall still decided to do it. “Someone should lose their job for this idea but, with how city hall works here, they will probably get a raise.” — posted by Drgreen

Canfor’s plan threatens UNESCO GeoPark in Clearwater Valley

Editor: A thoughtless logging plan of epic proportions is being proposed by Canfor for the Clearwater Valley. If carried to reality, this plan will not only threaten the local environment, but could have lasting implications on initiatives to secure a UNESCO Geo Park status for Wells Gray Park. This logging plan comprises hundreds of hectares of high-elevation forest, much of it in the watershed of Spahats Creek which feeds one of Wells Gray’s iconic waterfalls — Spahats Falls. The specific impacts of additional runoff, on this unique asset, are unknown. However, the question should be more along the lines of why we need to find out, especially when one of the prime destinations within the park is at stake. This is one case in which the precautionary principle needs to be applied. The logging plan also has global implications. Not only does Clearwater pride itself as the gateway to Wells Gray, but the Park’s unique assets, volcanoes among others, have motivated a crosssection of the local population to initiate an application for UNESCO status. A push for Geo Park status is now underway and, if successful, would represent only the second such designation in Canada and the first in B.C.. One of the prerequisites to achieving UNESCO status is that the area in question must have unique attributes. Going beyond this, the area must be sufficiently valued by residents and governments through a general consensus regarding its particular assets. This would indicate the necessity of a go-easy approach to extraction activities in the immediate neighbourhood. It’s easy to see Canfor’s logging plan, which would cozy right up to the park boundary, would not demonstrate a great affection for more ephemeral or aesthetic values, other than satisfying the income aspiration of its distant shareholders. Among European tourists, Wells Gray has become a sort of cult destination, a special, untouched place to be discovered. Naturally, as the trees come down and as the environs of Wells Gray start to bear the signature of industry, many prospective visitors would begin to ask themselves why they should bother visiting. Robert Frost summed up situations, like this one, in his poem The Road Not Taken. On taking the road less travelled, he said it has made all the difference. Canfor and the provincial government should back off on logging in the Clearwater Valley. David Simms Clearwater

Butt out, Kamloops smokers — the proper way Editor: I am not sure why it is still socially acceptable to simply throw cigarette butts on the ground and not put them in the garbage. If I were to throw a fast-food cup on the ground, people would be up in arms but, if I tossed a cigarette butt on the sidewalk, no one would bat an eye. Not only are they unsightly, but these butts contain toxins that can leach into the environment. How did we get to this point? If you must smoke, please put your butts out and in the garbage, not in our flower beds, flower pots and streets. Darryl Klassen Kamloops

TRU cracks code, hires new law-school dean

BRADFORD MORSE: He comes to TRU from a land Down Under

said TRU president and vice-chancellor Alan Shaver. “Dean Morse’s work has been highly influential with respect to a number of important legal issues.” Morse said his role will be to enhance the reputation and performance of the law school. “TRU’s Faculty of Law is off to an excellent start, having recruited a core of exceptionally talented professors and administrative staff, as well as now having its first JD graduates,” Morse said. Morse was also

director of research and planning for the Aboriginal Justice Inquiry of Manitoba from 1988 to 1991. That commission was sparked by the deaths of J.J. Harper, director of the Island Lake Tribal Council, who was shot by a Winnipeg police officer and the conviction of four men in the beating death of Helen Betty Osborne in The Pas, 16 years after the murder. As a professor, Morse has taught a wide variety of courses concerning Canadian and comparative indigenous-law issues, as well as labour law, trusts, property and civil liberties. He has been involved in the establishment of aboriginal legal-services programs and childwelfare agencies, as well as in land claims, environmental disputes, constitutional, treaty and self-government negotiations, economic-

development projects, legislative drafting and other aboriginal government matters. He has also served as counsel in litigation on aboriginal and treaty rights, as well as an expert witness before numerous parliamentary and legislative committees and administrative tribunals. Morse as also served as chief federal negotiator on several Canadian land claims and has been a consultant to various royal commissions, government departments and Indigenous peoples’ organizations in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. He has authored over 100 articles, books, book chapters and commission reports. Morse holds a BA from Rutgers University, LLB from the UBC Faculty of Law, and LLM from Osgoode Hall, York University.

Morse is expected to start his job in the fall. He will succeed Chris Axworthy, who quit last summer. Morse is now dean at the faculty of law at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, where he has been for five years. There, he recruited many of the staff and led the university to be ranked in the top 100 law schools in the world in 2013. Before that, he was a professor in the faculty of law, as well a vicedean and director of graduate studies, at the University of Ottawa. “I am excited that we have attracted such an excellent legal scholar and experienced academic administrator,”

Ajax open houses begin tonight The proposed Ajax copper and gold mine’s new look is the subject of a trio of open houses, beginning tonight (June 24). Mine proponent KGHM will host public-information sessions tonight (June 24) from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on Wednesday afternoon from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Coast Kamloops Convention Centre, 1250 Rogers Way. A third session will run on Thursday, June 26, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the Knutsford

Community Hall. KGHM spokeswoman Robin Bartlett said the open houses will follow the drop-in format of past Ajax events, with

teams will be there. “We’ll also have the 3D tabletop model which has been redesigned to reflect the new general arrangement, and we’ll also have a 3D digital model,” she said. This past spring, KGHM announced it had redesigned the mine, which it wants to build south of Aberdeen, to move the operation outside of city limits. The new plan for members of staff on the mine uses a wet hand to answer questailings pond rather tions. than a dry stack and Bartlett said repre- moves both tailsentatives from Ajax’s ings and waste rock operations, geology stores, as well as and environmental the ore stockpile,

south of the pit. Bartlett said KGHM will not be able to provide detailed data on how the reconfiguration will effect the environment or the city. “As we’ve stated in the past, we’re still in the very early stages of the environmentalassessment process, so that research isn’t done yet,” she said. “We won’t be able to provide a lot of those answers because we don’t have them available to us.” KGHM aims to file Ajax’s application for environmental review by spring 2015.

HVC dust not impacting city air X From A1

“Even if you are at eight micrograms or lower than eight micrograms, that doesn’t mean there will be no health impacts,” Biagtan said. Biagtan said a number of factors can increase PM2.5, including weather patterns, industrial activity, backyard burning and the combustion of fossil fuels. KPHE and Calder would add copper and gold mines to the list as

well, but again Adams said ministry data calls the group’s claims into question. Calder pointed to the government of Canada’s National Pollution Release Inventory, which lists Highland Valley Copper and the New Afton Mine as two of the country’s largest emitters of PM2.5 in 2012. “We really don’t have a buffer or margin for another major industrial project to come to Kamloops and

add more particulate matter to our airshed,” she said. Highland Valley is located about 45 minutes southwest of Kamloops. New Gold is about 10 minutes west of the city. Adams said it’s possible dust from Highland Valley could be making it to Kamloops, but it doesn’t appear to have an effect on air quality. “I have measurements from Goose Lake, which is down-

wind of Kamloops, between us and Highland Valley, and the values are so low that most of the time the instruments can’t see anything,” he said. Ministry instruments positioned just downwind of the New Gold mine also record lower levels of PM2.5 than those positioned in downtown Kamloops. “So, obviously, whatever is going on here is more complicated than this big huge cloud of dust,” he said.

Epp Cates Oien wishes to congratulate Morgan Elander for his recent call to the bar and welcomes him as the firm’s newest associate. Morgan practices in business law, real estate law, estate planning and estate law and is proficient in Japanese. Morgan graduated with a Juris Doctor degree from UBC after earning his Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Alberta.

Sinclair to speak at rally Jim Sinclair, head of the B.C. Federation of Labour, is expected to speak at a teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rally this week. Sinclair will be one of several speakers to address the gathering on Wednesday, June 25, between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., in Riverside Park near the Rotary Bandshell. The action comes after a

failed bid to get longtime mediator Vince Ready involved in the impasse between the provincial government and the B.C. Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation. Ready has declined, citing a heavy workload. Ready was brought in when the BCTF called a strike in October 2005. Teachers voted 77 per cent to

accept his recommendations that time and returned to work. In a report to Kamloops teachers, bargaining-committee member David Komljenovic reported the BCTF has a list of other potential mediators and is working this week to find one the B.C. Public School Employersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association can agree with so bargaining can proceed.

CUPE and other workers will be paid â&#x20AC;&#x201D; eventually Support, clerical and other non-teaching school workers will be paid for the days they do not cross picket lines â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just not yet. Ben Green, a communications officer with the provincial education ministry, said that although the recent round of bargaining with the unions representing those workers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most of them members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; included a pot of money to cover their lost wages, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not yet in place.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the provincewide framework that established the fund is just one part of the bargaining process and negotiation now moves to the district level to address issues unique to them. Once the final contract is reached and ratified by the unions, Green said, its members can apply for reimbursement of their lost wages and they will be paid as normal from then on, should the strike continue.

Airport manager looking to expand ﬂights to Alberta By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The manager of Kamloops Airport is at an industry conference this week looking for new connections to Alberta and Northern Canada. Fred Legace will attend the Airports Council International meeting in Edmonton, a marketing and communications conference, where he will network with industry representatives from North America and pursue new connections for the airport.

He is scheduled to meet with representatives from Air Canada and Canadian North airlines. The only service today to Alberta from Kamloops are via Air Canada and WestJet flights to Calgary. Legace is hoping to entice Air Canada to add service direct to Edmonton, with connections to Grande Prairie and Fort McMurray. “The numbers we have is we have enough for at least two flights a day,” he said. Legace is also meeting with Canadian North to discuss flights from northernmost Canada to Kamloops

for skiing vacations. “Sun Peaks thinks there’s something there,” he said. “There are people with high disposable incomes. When it’s -55 C in the North, -15 C in Kamloops seems really good.” Both flights would take advantage of growing naturalresource development in Northern Canada, where employees often live elsewhere in the country and commute long distance to work away from home. Legace said once the initial idea is planted with Canadian North, he expects representatives from Sun Peaks Resort Corporation and Tourism Sun Peaks to pursue the plan.

New city casino would offer shuttle service A new casino proposed for the Versatile area between Aberdeen and Pineview Valley would offer shuttle service between from the downtown and Aberdeen mall. Gateway Casinos, which hopes to move

its Lake City Casino from Victoria Street to the former Rona at 1555 Versatile Dr., said it decided to offer shuttle service after it was requested during a series of open houses on the proposed relocation last month.

“People across Kamloops are very excited about our plans and especially about the new services and amenities our new location will allow us to bring to Kamloops,” said public relations director Tanya Gabara.

“But. people also told us they want safe and easy travel options to help them get to and from the new facility. Gabara said a route for the shuttle has not been determined, but the service will stop at hotels, the downtown

core and Aberdeen Mall. Gateway is seeking a rezoning for the Versatile site from the city. If it’s successful, it plans to rebrand the 14,000-square-foot Lake City Casino as the 50,000-square-foot Cascades Casino and

expand the operation to include a 500-seat

amphitheatre, a pub, and more gambling options.

Farms2Chefs aims to ‘get more local’ with food Through the years, he said, the impact of restaurant purchases of local food has been substantial. Looking at it over the past eight to 10 years, the collaborative has estimated the restaurant sector has spent more than $1 million, “a pretty significant impact on the economy.” Tombs said the collaborative helped farmers with the challenge of distribution, particularly those who live a distance away, because they know they can come in to the city and there are restaurants eager for their wares. The group also takes part in the Kamloops Farmers’ Market, Summer said, not only

because it’s an easy way to access some of the best produce available that day but, for him, “I do it out of respect or their time they put into it. It just shows support of farmers and ranchers from our end.” The collaborative is preparing to share its enthusiasm for the local food — and provide some samples, at its Farm2Chefs Grazing Event on Sunday, July 27, a gathering of 14 restaurants, six wineries, two breweries and other foodrelated organizations at SSOL Gardens, formerly known as Sun River Organics, 3390 Shuswap Rd. It will feature a chef competition — the duelling culinary

experts will be given a secret ingredient, access to a pantry of other foods and 15 minutes to come up with something delectable. A panel of judges will do the taste-testing and declare the winner. The event, which starts at 5 p.m., also includes entertainment ranging from a bluegrass duo who will wander through the crowd to the Cathi Marshall Band. Tombs said about 300 attended last year’s event and organizers are expecting more this year. Money raised goes toward a grant program the collaborative offers to farmers and local food-security groups. Tickets are $60 for

Happy hours now legal in B.C. KFPC offering garden tour With the arrival of summer comes happy hour to B.C. Liquor-law changes pertaining to happy hour and minimum drink pricing took effect on Friday, June 20. The minimum price an establishment can charge is $3 for a drink — which, for example, would buy a single-ounce cocktail, a five-ounce glass of wine or 12-ounce sleeve of beer or cider. The City of Kamloops already has a bylaw regulating minimum drink prices, with $3 being the lowest for which an alcoholic beverage can be sold. Additional changes stemming from the liquor policy review have also come into effect. Food-primary establishments must continue to offer a full menu, but customers may order only drinks if they wish. Also, customers can now move freely with their drinks from

one adjoining licensed area to another, such as from a pub to an adjoining restaurant. Previously, staff had to carry customers’ drinks for them. Change also include rules governing the transfer of liquor. Licensees may now transfer small amounts of liquor between similar types of establishments. For instance, if a pub is experiencing a shortage of a specific liquor product, a nearby restaurant can transfer liquor to it, or a liquor store can transfer alcohol to another store with the same kind of liquor licence. Meanwhile, hosts of family special-occasion licence events may now serve homemade and UBrew/UVin beer, wine or cider, while owners of UBrews and UVins, as well as their family members, are now allowed to own other liquor-related establishments.

Jared Summer bought 1,000 pounds of potatoes last year from local farmers. David Tomb has farmers showing up at his back door, knowing he’ll be buying their produce. The pair — Summer is the chef at the Noble Pig while Tombs heads up the cooking at Terra — aren’t alone in their support of the region’s ranchers and farmers, many of whom have worked together in the Farm2Chefs Collaborative. The project was created four years ago to help “get more local food on restaurant plates,” Tombs said, and, through that, help in establishing sustainable agriculture in the area.

Success — bit(coin) by bit(coin) By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Bitcoins and mining digital currency, the Plug and Play Tech Centre and Silicon Valley — the brief history of Kamloops’ Sha Software sounds more the beginnings of a video game than the birth of one of Kamloops’ newest businesses. Nevertheless, less than six months after incorporating, Kamloops natives Jay Bell, Randy Hofman and Jesse Brown have seen their business grow to levels they could have never imagined. Recently, investors purchased a five per cent stake in the company for $25,000 — a $500,000 valuation of Sha. It has been a whirlwind few months. “I took it on because — it’s the weirdest of stories,” Brown said. “We [he and Bell] were just hanging out nonchalantly and he started telling me about what he was doing. “He had a great idea, but nothing done yet, and I just was like, ‘Wow, you have something there.’” Bell, 22, and Hofman, 24, both studied computer science at Thompson Rivers University, while Brown studied business at UBC-Okanagan. The company develops software for the cryptocurrency market — of which the most well known currency is Bitcoin. In essence, Bitcoin is a means of transferring funds between

individuals. As a currency, it holds value in itself, but is at arm’s length from institutionalization. Neither banks nor the government have regulatory powers over Bitcoin. This separation allows individuals to transfer money free of fees and the loss of value associated with currency exchanges — the purchasing power of one Bitcoin is the same, regardless of what country a consumer is in. “If I send my buddy in Guatemala $20, he gets $20,” Brown said. “The real reason it exists is that way to transfer funds without incurring any fees.” At Sha, they’re developing software for crytopcurrency market. They develop programs for different purposes, which are made available to other companies for their digital currency endeavours. Bell and Hofman founded the company and incorporated towards the end of 2013, Brown joined shortly thereafter. In less than five months, the high school friends — Bell and Brown both went to Valleyview secondary, while Hofman attended South Kamloops secondary — have seen their company make massive gains. They’ve quadrupled their cash flow, hired more programmers and developed partnerships. They have even moved their office to a more suitable location downtown. Brown said the trio has crunched the numbers on what they hope some of their software can do and what it will earn them

if they’re successful. The numbers are astronomical. When the three were teenagers, working at the Valleyview Wendy’s, they never predicted their friendship would take them to where they are today. “Me and Jay worked at Wendy’s together and Randy worked there, too, but we didn’t really know him that well,” Brown said. “We laugh about it all the time. Whenever we tell people the story, even though me and Jay knew each other before, we always say the three of us met at Wendy’s, just because we think it’s so funny.” There’s more good news on the horizon for the Kamloops trio, which was recently awarded one of five spots working with Plug and Play Tech Centre in Silicon Valley, Calif., this summer. Bell and Brown will head down to the U.S. to work with the tech accelerator in hopes of bringing their company to the next level, while Hofman stays behind to keep things running. In the past, Plug and Play has helped startups like Paypal and Dropbox. It was the accelerator, which invested the $25,000 in Sha. “It was a little mind-boggling because everything had been moving so fast,” Brown said of being selected by the group of tech investors. “It took a while to sink in. “We celebrated, but it really signaled that we had a lot of work to do, too. I mean, if we were going to go big time, we had to buckle down and keep going.”

Men nabbed, charged after escape CANADIAN PRESS

QUEBEC — The return to court yesterday (June 23) of three accused drug traffickers who broke out of jail two weeks ago in a helicopter was punctuated by the jingle of shackles around their ankles. Dressed in T-shirts and sporting beards, Yves Denis, 35, Denis Lefebvre, 53, and Serge Pomerleau, 49, appeared weary as they stood handcuffed in the prisoners’ dock to hear new charges against them and learn relaxed detention conditions would be revoked. The three men who were nabbed by a Quebec provincial police tactical team in a luxury Montreal condo early on Sunday, June 22, were arraigned on charges of escaping lawful custody and prison breach. They had been the subject of an international manhunt and an Interpol red alert. Tight security surrounded the court appearance. During the resumption of their trial on drug charges, Quebec Superior Court Justice Louis Dionne also suspended his earlier ruling that eased the men’s conditions behind bars before their brazen escape onSaturday, June 7. Among the changes are the removal of computer privileges for Pomerleau and permission allowing the men to circulate together in the prison yard. Dionne informed the jury he had suspended his ruling changing the accused’s conditions when they were called in. Details of the arguments in court on the conditions cannot be reported because of a ban on the publication of details in the absence of the jury in the drug trial. That trial, which started in April, resumed with testimony from an RCMP officer who presented expert testimony on the analysis of emails found on a cellular phone. Crown prosecutor Antoine Piche acknowledged it was a bit unusual for the trial to continue in the absence of the accused while they were on the lam but not unprecedented. “Nothing changed because we have our obligation to present our evidence the same way as we have to do it normally,’’ he said outside the court after the proceeding. “We have to do it the same way when they are there or not. Our duty is still the same and we will do it until the end of the trial.’’ The men glanced occasionally around the courtroom during their appearance and sometimes shifted slightly, causing their shackles to rattle. Conditions for the men had been

eased before their escape despite the prison being aware that there was the possibility of a plot to break them out. Acknowledgment of the existence of a possible jailbreak conspiracy is contained in Dionne’s judgment dated March 24 and was made public recently. Dionne had been asked to rule on the strict security conditions which the inmates argued prevented them from helping in their defence on charges of murder and gangsterism. In his ruling, which was recently made public, Dionne gave the detainees access to a secured computer for their trial preparation. The ruling also stated they didn’t have to wear handcuffs during proceedings and would be allowed to go into the prison yard on weekday evenings, prison staffing permitting. The trio will return to court on Thursday. They also face murder charges in Montreal and that trial is expected to start in 2015. The men were brought to court earlier in the morning in three separate convoys. Each man was in a different prison van, which raced through the streets from the suburban Orsainville detention centre to an enclosed courthouse garage. Provincial police cars with flashing emergency lights and screaming sirens provided an escort. Journalists and members of the public who wanted to attend the proceeding had to pass through airport-style security to get into the courtroom. They were searched and had to show identification. Pomerleau, Denis and Lefebrvre were the subject of an Interpol red alert since their escape two weeks ago. Quebec provincial police tracked them to a luxury condo in Old Montreal early Sunday morning. A heavily armed tactical squad busted open the door of the condo around 1:30 a.m. The men did not resist. Quebec provincial police were seen carrying several containers from the condo after searching it. A car was seized and police said they also found $100,000 in cash in the residence. The Quebec government has ordered an internal investigation into the jailbreak, which is the second using a helicopter in just over a year. Two inmates fled the St-Jerome detention centre by helicopter in March 2013, but were quickly recaptured. — With files from Patrice Bergeron in Quebec City and Nelson Wyatt in Montreal

HAMBROOK With profound sadness we announce the passing of Stephen William Hambrook. On the morning of June 17th, 2014 he passed away peacefully at his home in Savona, BC at the age of 59. He is lovingly remembered by his wife of 35 years, Huguette “Kim” Hambrook; his three daughters, Crystal (Riccardo) Weber, Rebecca (Michael) Frost, Kelsey Hambrook (David Oh); his four grandchildren Avery, Isla, Kyra and Stephen, as well as many friends and relatives. Steve was born in Prince George and raised throughout BC where he cultivated his love of nature through ﬁshing, camping, and boating. He worked on the railroad for 35 years until his recent retirement. He spent his ﬁnal years creating cherished memories in his favorite spot, by the lakeside in Savona. He is loved by many and missed by all. A Celebration of his Life will be held at Savona’s Lakeshore Park on Saturday, June 28th from 2-4pm. Should friends desire, donations will be gratefully accepted towards “RIH Cancer Clinic” or “Savona Community Association (Lakeshore Park Improvement Project)”. The family would like to thank our relatives and friends for all of their support as well as Dr. Muhammad, Dr. Gabriel and the staff of Royal Inland Hospital.

In Memoriam DEANIA ZEREBESKI April 8, 1944 – June 25, 2013 Kamloops, BC

A year ago on June 25, 2013, at 2 pm, we lost the evereffervescent Deania Zerebeski. Her garden is in full bloom again, and a year of special dates – birthdays, Christmas, New Year’s, and Mother’s Day – have come and gone. Her generous affection, positive spirit, and great big grin are all deeply missed. Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife. The ﬁrst question was, “Did you bring joy?” The second was, “Did you ﬁnd joy?” She did both and lived with Bob Marley’s adage in her heart: “You just can’t live in that negative way… make way for the positive day.” She was always loving and will ever be always loved. love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more Àrst than sun more last than star

Bob and Lynn raised their family in Logan Lake and were in Logan Lake at the time of Lynn’s passing.

We will all miss her and hold her dearly in our hearts.

Her Journey’s Just Begun Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much. E. Brenneman

Petition ﬁghts for Stampede events safer; review CBC documentaries CANADIAN PRESS

By Laura Kane CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — CBC personalities including Peter Mansbridge, David Suzuki and Linden MacIntyre are speaking out against a CBC proposal to shut down in-house production of documentaries at the public broadcaster. Anna Maria Tremonti, Carol Off and Nahlah Ayed have also signed the petition calling on the CBC to protect its documentary department by placing it under its news and current affairs division. “CBC Television, to be true to its core mandate, needs more long-form journalism and legacy programming — not less,’’ states the letter, sent to president Hubert Lacroix and head of English services Heather Conway. At a town-hall meeting on Thursday, June 26, the broadcaster is set to reveal its five-year strategic plan to employees. The CBC is battling a budget shortfall of $130 million due to federal cuts, flagging advertising revenues and the loss of hockey rights to Rogers Media. Those who signed the letter fear the plan would mean laying off the majority of CBC’s documentary department, which has created a number of award-winning productions including Canada: A People’s History and the aboriginal miniseries 8th Fire. Embedding the department within news and current affairs would preserve original CBC documentary production, while allowing for sharing of resources, facilities and infrastructure, the letter states. Some 75 per cent of CBC documentaries are already produced by independent filmmakers. According to the petition, overall production of documentaries has already fallen dramatically in recent years. In a response letter, Conway wrote that CBC is not planning to reduce the number of documentaries it airs but is looking at ways to produce them more cheaply. In April, the CBC announced it would cut 657 jobs in the next two years to meet its budget shortfall.

Identiﬁed after 72 years CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Defence Department says the remains of a Second World War airman found in a German lake in 2008 have been identified as those of Flight Sgt. John Joseph Carey of Ottawa. Carey was 22 years old and the front air gunner in a Royal Air Force Halifax bomber when it took off for a raid against Germany on Aug. 28, 1942. The plane was shot down by a fighter aircraft and crashed in Laacher See, a lake south of Bonn, Germany.

In 2008, a team of German explosives-disposal experts conducted several dives on the crash site to assess the stability of the aircraft’s cargo and, in the process, recovered human remains. A genetic donor for Carey was located in December last year and the results of the genetic testing were received in February. Carey’s family have been notified and his remains are to be buried at Rheinberg War Cemetery in Rheinberg, Germany, on July 9, with family members and representatives of the Canadian Forces in attendance.

CALGARY — An annual safety review of rodeo and chuckwagon events at the Calgary Stampede suggests the sports are becoming safer. An independent livestock-handling specialist said new chutes installed on the rodeo grounds last year helped reduce the risk of injury to animals and people.

Jennifer Woods, who advises the Stampede on animal safety, said there will still be issues with the stock-handling facilities because the area is uneven. Woods said closer monitoring of the health of chuckwagon horses seems to have made a difference as well. She said the full examinations now required before a race saw 16 horses scratched

from performing last year. The number of ani-

mals that died due to structural breakdowns or heart conditions was

down to zero last year from 75 per cent in 2010.

Financial pressures, Bell Media to cut 120 jobs this summer CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Bell Media says it plans to cut as many as 120 jobs in Toronto due to “financial pressure” in its advertising and subscription TV services. The radio and television section of BCE Inc. said it has informed the federal Minister of Labour of the layoffs, which will happen this summer.

Bell Media runs a variety of television channels, including the CTV network, CTV Two and the TSN sports networks. Its speciality channels include The Comedy Network, the MuchMusic channels and MTV. Earlier in the day, the president of CTV News confirmed that its prime-time current affairs show “Kevin Newman Live” had been cancelled. A spokesman for Bell said the layoffs are not related.

WolfPack’s future on ice uncertain adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

HE WOLFPACK hockey team may soon be the next to fall victim to the changing athletic landscape at Thompson Rivers University. The team was faced with a fundraising shortfall following the 2013-2014 season and had what head coach Don Schulz called a few “stressful moments” working to keep the team afloat financially. Nonetheless, between the work of TRU athletics director Ken Olynyk and André Larouche of the Kamloops Collegiate Hockey Society, the team will live to see 2014-2015. Whether it proves to be their last season remains to be seen. “You know, funding is an issue but, like I said, working with the hockey society and Ken Olynyk, we’ve been able to stabilize things and we’re a go for next year,” Schulz told KTW on Friday, June 20. “We’ve had to iron out some issues and increase some player fees, to offset some operating deficits, but it has all worked out.” Club teams at TRU, unlike varsity teams, require students to pay fees in order to play. Baseball and hockey are the only remaining club teams at the university. Olynyk said players on the baseball team pay about $3,000 each to suit up in the orange and black, while the hockey team previously charged about $1,500. In order to keep the team afloat in 2014-2015, Schulz said the team was forced to increase those fees, a jump, KTW learned, to about $2,400 per player. Based on a 27-man roster, which is what the WolfPack began

last season with, the hockey team brought in about $40,500 of its $110,000 budget in player fees. Next year’s increase will see that number rise to about $64,800 based on a roster of the same size. The increase will bring about $24,300 more to the team’s coffers. The club will also receive $2,500 from the university’s Comprehensive University Enhancement Fund (CUEF) and $2,500 from the office of TRU’s vice-president academic. The remaining funds, about $40,000, will need to come from fundraising in the community. Olynyk said the team came up short in its fundraising goals, putting it in its current financial situation. Schulz agreed that was largely the case, but he thought there were some communication issues between the team and the athletics department, regarding who was handling the business aspects of the team. He also said there was talk of hockey becoming a varsity sport, which would have brought the team more university funding. Regardless, Schulz said, there are no hard feelings. “I want to make it clear, I certainly have no blame,” he said. “If anything, the school has supported us as much as they can. “Would we like to be full varsity with full funding and be able to provide financial assistance, scholarships, to our players? Absolutely, but that’s not the case. So, you have to build your way. It takes time to make yourself economically viable.” The work of Olynyk and the hockey society has ensured the WolfPack will return to Memorial Arena for 2014-2015, but Schulz

Tyler Jackson of the TRU WolfPack found twine with this shot against the Victoria Vikes in B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League play in 2013. The local university will ice a team this season, but the WolfPack are facing financial challenges that might affect their long-term sustainability. KTW file photo

was reluctant to say the team’s future was assured beyond that. “We still have a ways to go in terms of longevity,” he told KTW. “Certainly, you know, this next season will be a pivotal one in terms of being able to determine, like I said, its longevity. “We’ll certainly have to address some issues through the course of the season and make some pretty important decisions by the end of January.” All of this has happened in the midst of Schulz’s summer-recruitment campaign.. The four-year head coach is nearly finished setting his roster for the new season, though is

looking to add one more goaltender and three more forwards before the season begins in the fall. Recruitment is never easy for Schulz, as TRU and the University of Victoria are the only teams in the six-team B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League that ask their players to pay to play. Selkirk College, Eastern Washington University, Simon Fraser University and Trinity Western University don’t have team fees and are able to offer financial assistance to at least some of their players. But, despite asking more

financially from his roster for next season, it appears Schulz will ice a competitive team. He has added a number of players from the junior B Kootenay International Junior Hockey League of late and is hoping to get his team back to the BCIHL championship final this year, after a first-round exit at the hands of the league-leading Selkirk Saints last season. By that time, he should know better where the team’s future sits. “This year we’re able to balance the books but, next year, again it’s a new challenge,” he said.

Hometown Kamloops thrashed the Vernon Canadians 15-2 to claim the Interior championship on Sunday, June 22. Starting pitcher Alex Tonge was dominant, giving up three hits and two runs over five innings as the Dogs’ bats overwhelmed Vernon’s pitching early and often. Alex Wright’s tworun shot in the top of the fifth put an exclamation point on the season. “It was a great way to cap our season against Vernon — a solid defensive team and our No. 1 rival,” RiverDogs’ head coach Cam Fortems said.

Fansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; group urges FIFA to show leadership on discrimination By Graham Dunbar ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A monitoring group has challenged FIFA to show leadership in tackling discrimination after the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world governing body dropped an investigation of Mexico fans chanting an alleged gay slur. FIFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disciplinary panel ruled on Monday, June 23, the chant heard during Mexico versus Cameroon on June 13 â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not considered insulting in this specific context.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Closing that case ended potential FIFA action against Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football federation after fans exchanged the same chant during the host nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Mexico on June 17. Fare, which monitors discrimination at matches, said the ruling contradicted expert opinion and FIFA President Sepp Blatterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pledge to use the World Cup to fight discrimination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A genuine zero-tolerance approach to all forms of discrimination will mean that FIFA will need to take some difficult decisions,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fare programs coordinator Claudia Krobitzsch said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the longer term, it is the only way to set out clear leadership and deal with a real issue in football.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; FIFA can open disciplinary cases against national federations, which are responsible for fan behaviour inside stadiums. Blatter has repeatedly said, including at FIFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s congress in Sao Paulo two weeks ago, points

deductions are more effective than fines to solve such problems. Earlier Monday, Fare reported to FIFA that supporters from Germany, France and Belgium have worn black face make-up during matches. It also advised FIFA that a pitch invader at Germany-Ghana on Saturday had â&#x20AC;&#x153;neo-Nazi references painted on his body.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fare insists the Mexican fansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chant, traditionally aimed at the opposing teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goalkeeper when taking a goal kick, is offensive. Still, FIFA disagreed and dismissed an improper-conduct charge. Fare was invited by UEFA, which controls European football, to work at the 2012 European Championship and place spotters from participating nations among the fans to help identify offensive chants, flags and banners. That partnership saw several of 16 competing nations in Poland and Ukraine fined within days of abuse being reported. Croatia and Russia were repeatedly sanctioned. FIFA does not have a similar agreement with Fare in Brazil, although it has welcomed evidence from any source to support its match commissionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reports. On Saturday, June 21, images of at least two Germany fans appeared on social media with blackened faces at the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match against Ghana. FIFA said it was analyzing the incident and the pitch invasion. It has also taken reports of far-right banners reported among

Croatia fans at the June 12 opening match against Brazil, and from Russia fans at its first match against South Korea last Tuesday. The latest Fare report on Monday included an incident at a Colombia match of â&#x20AC;&#x153;a man wearing a clerical costume daubed with swastikas.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Blatter has stepped up FIFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fight against discrimination in the past 18 months and created a task force to suggest ideas.

On the pitch The World Cup rolls on today (June 24) in Brazil with four matches. In Group D action at 9 a.m., England squares off with Costa Rica and Italy plays Uruguay. Costa Rica leads the group with a 2-0 record, Italy and Uruguay have three points apiece â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a win and a loss each â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and England is in the cellar with an 0-2 record. There are a pair of Group C tilts slated for 1 p.m. Group-leader Colombia (2-0) will look to remain perfect against Japan (0-1-1), while Cote dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ivoire (1-0-1) and Greece (0-11) meet in the other matchup. On Monday, Spain blanked Australia 3-0 and the Netherlands topped Chile 2-0 in the early games. Netherlands (3-0) won the group and Chile (2-0-1) finished second. In the afternoon, Brazil (2-10) cemented its place in the next round with a 4-1 win over Cameroon (0-3) and Mexico (2-1-0) advanced with a 3-1 victory over Croatia (1-0-2).

‘This is my band and I’m going to deﬁne the rules’

AVE COALMINE remembers the first time he wrote a song. He was 14 — and it might have been when he was vacuuming a room in his Bonnyville, Alta., house — when the lyrics just came to him and he had to write them down. The only musical person in his family of six — including three younger siblings — Coalmine eventually started playing guitar and, later harmonica. He had plans, he said, and one of them was to finish high school and head on to post-secondary school. That goal was waylaid when the lure of being in a rock band called to him and he found himself the vocalist in a Calgary band. “I sang and sang and sang and sang,” he said of the experience In the end, that wasn’t enough.

Coalmine regrouped and decided it was time to head down a more traditional road so he decided to become a pharmacy technician. The college of choice was in Kamloops and that’s how the River City became his home in 2010. But, Coalmine said, his first love remained music, not counting out pills. He found what he calls “this amazing musical community in Kamloops,” one that welcomed him and, soon, he was sharing the stage with Bluesfoot. It will be the Dave Coalmine Band, however, that takes the stage at Pogue Mahone Irish Alehouse, 843 Desmond St., on Saturday, June 28 — and Coalmine can’t contain his excitement with this turn in his career. That glee comes from knowing he has a single getting airplay, his first professionally produced and

mastered work and he sees it as another step in making music his full-time career. Girls was inspired by Coalmine and his buddies — most of them in their mid-30s and all musicians — talking about how difficult it is as a musician to maintain any type of relationship “when your first love is the music and women are your second love. “For me, music loves me eternally.” Coalmine has also found a couple of guys who get where he’s coming from, where he wants to go and what his musical vision entails — a pair that helped him create his band. Brendan Methot handles piano and bass and Randy Sherman is behind the drum kit, although, Coalmine said, “that belittles his role because he’s doing electronic accompaniment as well, and so

much more. Basically, he can pat his head and rub his tummy at the same time.” For now, music remains his other job, with Rogers Rental claiming him for day shifts. “I’m a bit of a mechanic, a blue-collar boy.” But, the road still beckons, even though Coalmine’s looking at baby steps right now. Winning the Rock ‘N Firkin Got Talent contest in 2010 was a boost, he said, as was nailing top prize at a battle of the bands at last year’s Tim Hortons Brier in the city and at another battle of the bands at the Blue Grotto. The Grotto win came with 10 hours of studio time with Doug Perry, time that was used creating Girls. Coalmine said working with Perry was a joy. “He’s so full or energy and so easy to work with.”

Coalmine videotaped and studied the Brier performance because, even though he loves being on stage, he wants to learn from his performances and continue to improve. Don’t try to pin a specific genre on him, though. Sure, it’s fair to call him a rocker but, when the spotlight’s not on and it’s just him and his stereo, it could be anything from soul to rock to hip hop — and elements of each can show up in his music. “This is my band, so I’m going to define the rules — and that means I’m going to defy the rules.” Tickets for the show are $8 at the door, which comes with a copy of the single. Coalmine added he’ll have the song in the library at CIFM this week — and he’s hoping people call in and make a lot of requests for it.

Expect more. Now in Kamloops at 453 Victoria St. West. JVÀ>vÌÃ > Ã «ÃÊUÊVÀ>vÌÃ > V Ã °V

Peter North, longtime journalist producer-musician-promoter recently took on the role of artistic director for the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. This year’s festival will take place from Aug. 15 to Aug. 17. For more information, go online to rootsandblues.ca.

A Northern inﬂuence alive in Penticton

ETER NORTH has never been to the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. The longtime journalist-producermusician-promoter said he had always known of the annual event, but the timing always conflicted with a similar event in Edmonton, where he was living. But now, “trapped in paradise” near Salmon Arm, he said facetiously, North is looking forward to the August musical gathering as its artistic director. He was hired in January and, by then, about half this year’s acts had been booked by his predecessor, Hugo Rampen, but he’s been busy adding to the plan for Aug. 15 to Aug. 17 at the fairgrounds. “These kinds of jobs don’t come along very

often,” North said, and, when he heard Rampen was leaving, “it was the first time in a long time I put a resume together.” That compilation of skills and accomplishments reveals “a mixed bag, all music-related,” he said, from being the guy who found the talent for Ian Tyson’s television show in the 1970s to producing the CBC television show Country Beat to his years with Alberta’s CKUA radio station — the first public broadcaster in the country and the first in Canada to stream online. He had a seven-year run with Country Beat and an opportunity to bring in a variety of performers, from George Strait to BB King to Bono. North describes himself as predestined for a career in music. He was immersed

in arts and culture from a young age and still remembers how moved he was at a 1969 Gordon Lightfoot concert. The new artistic director plans to work with the organizers of the Edmonton Folk Festival — now that it has changed dates, North hopes they can pair up to bring in major acts and share the costs. It’s how he signed Mavis Staples for

this year’s festival as she was already headed to Canada for an Edmonton show. He’s equally stoked at getting Leon Redbone on the schedule. He’s got some interesting names on his wish list: He’d love to get the Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Robert Hunter of the Grateful Dead or Bonnie Raitt. Ry Cooder is on the list, too — “I’d love to shake that tree

and see if he could fall out of it.” North has put his own spin on the festival’s workshops, asking musicians who they want to share those stages. “If there were some who just worked great together, it would be a shame to not let them intersect again,” he said. That approach has led to pairings that will see Steve Marriner and Paul Reddick fronting We Got Harps, We

Ain’t No Angels. North has put Alvin Youngblood Hart with Herald Nix and Paul Asoro together for Keep My Grave Swept, a look at the songs of Blind Lemon Jefferson. Coast to Coast Full throttle Folk has Good for Grapes joining Darren McMullin, Colin Grant, Zakari Frantz and Steve Marriner, taking on folk-roots. Add to that performances from folks like the Souljazz

Losing Weight Has Never Been Easier! After allowing the pounds to creep on and the ensuing health issues I knew I had to do something. A friend told me about Powertone. I look forward to the twice a week half hour sessions. Since my ﬁrst appointment I have lost over 15 pounds and 31/2 inches off of my abdomen, 3 inches off of my hips and 21/2 off of each thigh. I feel better and movement is easier. The training is in a private studio and Irene immediately put me at ease. Her encouragement and experience makes each session a joy! I highly recommend Powertone. Hazel Green, KAMLOOPS

A Tahoe ﬁt for show

The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV features a number of changes, including new body panels with inlaid doors for an almost seamless appearance, projector-style headlights and brand specific features. Jim Robinson

By Jim Robinson METROLAND MEDIA wheels.ca

O SAY THE 2015 Suburban and Tahoe are important to Chevrolet is the understatement of the year. Chevrolet accounts for 60 per cent of all GM vehicles sold in Canada. And, of those Chevrolets, 60 per cent are trucks. Chevrolet and GMC full-size SUVs represent 70 per cent of all Canadian sales in their segment. So, when it came to the 2015 versions of

Chevrolet’s two fullsize SUVs, there were several challenges, including making these big trucks drive and feel like smaller ones. The Tahoe and Suburban are full bodyon-frame, 204 and 224 inches long respectively and both weighing in around 2.5 tons. They are as big as it gets. To change the driving dynamics, hydraulic engine mounts were redesigned for more isolation and torque damping and there is now electric power steering. The former gives what Chevy calls

At a Glance

BODY STYLE: Full-size, body-on-frame SUV DRIVE METHOD: Front-engine, rear-/four-wheel-drive with six-speed automatic transmission ENGINE: 5.3-litre direct injection overhead valve V8 (355 hp, 383 lb/ft) PRICE: Tahoe 4WD, LS, $52,865; LT, $60,545; LTZ, $67,795; Suburban 4WD, LS, $55,855; LT, $63,535; LTZ $70,785

a “connected-to-the road” feeling while the latter really takes a lot of effort out of low-speed turning and parking. The body is connected to the frame with new mounts to reduce body shake, while the tires were designed for better ride quality but also improved stop-

ping power and fuel economy. The body is also stiffer with frontend rigidity increased dramatically. On the top trim models Magnetic Ride Control (MRC) is now available. First debuted on the Corvette, the difference it makes is remarkable. I drove both trucks

in the Perce area of Quebec. With great, sweeping roads following the Gaspe coast, it’s a must on your travel destination list if you haven’t been before. The first day, I was in a Tahoe with MRC and it went where directed with no oversteering coming out of corners.

In the little villages dotting the way, there were more places to stop beside the water to take photos than I could count. Pulling up, turning around, you name it, the Tahoe was solid and easy to move around in tight places. The next day I drove a mid-trim Suburban without MRC and noticed a difference right away. It also handled and drove without feeling ponderous. If there ever was a way to drive across the country, this is it but I’d probably ante up for the MRC if I were buying either one.

One thing they do share is a vastly improved interior and exterior, which my driving companion, Doug Kenzie, Chevrolet Canada’s assistant brand manager, said was the top 2015 priority based on focus group responses. On the outside, the styling is crisp with no body panels shared with the Silverado pickup on which Tahoe/Suburban are based. Projectorstyle headlights are standard with brand specific hoods, grilles, fascias and fenders. X See BIG INTERIOR B10

2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO CREW 1500 4x4

Big interior changes highlight both vehicles X From B9

The biggest change is the doors that are inlaid into the body resulting in extremely tight shut lines giving the flanks an almost seamless look. The cabins got a full makeover with cockpit style front seating, impressive MyLink connectivity with up to 12 USB ports, a centre console that can swallow a desktop computer and, best of all, fold-flat power third row seats with power liftgate. Standard seating is 2/2/3 but a second row bench is available. There’s more, like an eight-inch colour touch screen that raises to reveal a hidden storage cubbie and a Blu-ray rear entertainment screen (two on Suburban). But the big news is the passenger and cargo volume. On the Suburban, with the second and third row seats folded, there is 3,429 litres of space. With the third row folded there is 2,173 litres with 1,113 litres behind the rear seat. With the Tahoe, it is 2,681/1,472/422 litres respectively. Power comes from GM’s trusty, direct injection OHV 5.3-litre V8 with 355 hp and 383 lb/ft of torque with a six-speed automatic transmission. Both SUVs are available in rear- or four-wheeldrive with the 4WD versions by far the biggest sellers. Fuel numbers for the Tahoe and Suburban 4WD models are 15.1/10.4L/100 km and 16.3/11.8L/100 km city/ highway respectively. In the RWD models it is 14.9/10.1L/100 km for both. Tahoe towing numbers are 3,900 kg (8,600 lb) in RWD and 3,810

kg (8,400 lb) in 4WD. Towing is slightly less with the Suburban due its greater weight at 3,765 kg (8,300 lb) in RWD and 3,628 (8,000 lb) in 4WD. Tahoe and Suburban just may be the safest full-size SUVs on the road with a bevy of the latest electronic aids like Front Park Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control and Crash Imminent Braking. And it’s backed up by OnStar, which sends out an automatic post-crash alert while also turning off the fuel flow, unlocking all doors and activating the four-way flashers. Tahoe and Suburban come in three trim levels — LS, LT and LTZ — with no sub-trims like 1LT and 2LT that are common on most other Chevrolet products. Pricing for the 4WD Tahoes is (LS) $52,865, (LT) $60,545 and (LTZ) $67,795 and $55,855, $63,535 and $70,785 for the 4WD Suburbans. Starting price for the RWD Tahoe is $49,565 and $52,565 for the RWD Suburban. During our two days with the trucks, several of the journalists there debated the merits of these large vehicles in a world were gasoline prices keep ramping up. The consensus seemed to be that if you bought a Tahoe or Suburban and looked after it, 15 years of ownership and beyond is not unreasonable, negating buying a second or third vehicle over the same time frame. And at the end of ownership, there is always a healthy resale market

for trucks like these. There will always be buyers who need big towing power and room for a full hockey team

and their gear, and this is what the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban do better than any other truck in the industry.
