In the wake of the Mount Polley report, KGHM Ajax will study whether to return to its orignal plan for a dry-stack tailing pile. Currently, the plan is for tailings to be stored in a pond.

KGHM AJAX TO LOOK AT DRY-STACK TAILINGS OPTION CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

KGHM Ajax will conduct a “trade-off study” to determine whether it will return to a drystack tailings system for its proposed mine in wake of a report advocating the technology. The Mount Polley Review Panel report recommends B.C.’s mining industry adopt drystack tailings, what it calls bestavailable technology, that would ensure a dam breach cannot happen at a new mine. Clyde Gillespie, manager of project development for KGHM Ajax, told KTW the company committed to looking closely at the Mount Polley report in wake

of the dam breach that flooded Polley and Quesnel lakes. “We’re revisiting our tailingsmanagement plan and revisiting whether dry-stack tailings is the best fit with Ajax,” Gillespie said. The technology is relatively new. It was proposed in KGHM Ajax’s first mine concept, which the company abandoned in order to move its footprint farther south and switch to a wettailings pond. KGHM’s original dry-stack tailing pile would have been visible from the Coquihalla Highway and also raised public concerns about dust. “Most commonly used in dry climates where economy in water consumption is important,

it has also been adapted to cold regions,” the Mount Polley report stated. “This method has been used since start-up of the Greens Creek mine in Alaska under conditions not unlike coastal B.C.” Gillespie acknowledged it will be expensive and time-consuming to conduct the trade-off study that will measure dry-stack tailings against the current plan to store tailings beneath a pond over what is today Goose Lake. Since the Mount Polley breach, there have been public concerns about a breach of the proposed dam that could lead to a wall of water down Peterson Creek and into downtown Kamloops. See ABERDEEN A11

Cheryl Anderson and James Pusey found a fun way to enjoy the great outdoors after this week’s snowfall in Kamloops. According to Pusey, some of Logan Lake’s trails are not groomed due to an equipment malfunction, so the pair decided to check out McArthur Island and found the conditions to be perfect. However, water-skis may be in order by the weekend as Environment Canada is calling for the big melt — with highs of 13 C and 11 C forecast for tomorrow (Feb. 6) and Saturday, respectively.

MP, challengers debate terror legislation CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Conservative government’s proposed anti-terrorism legislation will give police more tools to stop terrorists before they act on home soil, according to Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod. However, McLeod’s opponents in this year’s federal election said such legislation needs to be carefully considered. The bill includes a law making it easier for RCMP to obtain a peace bond under the Criminal Code, including reporting conditions and requiring surrender of passports; will allow the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to hack radical websites and have judicial orders to remove propaganda; gives CSIS more power to combat possible terror plots; expands no-fly provisions; and makes it a specific criminal offence to carry out a terrorist attack.

“This bill will also make it easier for law-enforcement agencies to detain suspected terrorists before they can harm Canadians and to toughen penalties for violating court ordered conditions on terrorist suspects,” McLeod told KTW in an e-mail message. Local NDP and Liberal candidates expressed cautious support for some of the ideas behind the proposed legislation, but said the bill will require close scrutiny and revision to strike a balance between safety and ensuring freedoms are not unduly affected. New Democrat candidate Bill Sundhu said some of the measures are “reasonable and necessary,” but added it will be important to see details to ensure personal liberties aren’t sacrificed. “The worst time to react is right after an event when emotions are high,” Sundhu said, noting government may be caught in a “frenzy to be seen to be doing something.”

However, Sundhu added, at first glance some of the measures seem reasonable, particularly oversight by judges and use of peace bonds to restrict those under suspicion from committing violent acts. “I think that’s important and necessary,” he said. Liberal candidate Steve Powrie echoed the call for moving carefully on the new laws, something he said should require change based on input from opposition parties. But, he added, the Stephen Harper government appears to be positioning the legislation as a pre-election plank. “They sense they have momentum, public support [for anti-terror legislation],” he said. “They’ve managed to ramp fears up. They ramp up concern and then throw out legislation.” McLeod said the bill provides the right balance between preserving freedoms and increasing security and comes in response to changing communication and evolving terrorism threats.

Shootings may impact RCMP auxiliary programs ANDREA KLASSEN

RCMP auxiliary constables Calvin Allen (left) and Lisa Landry (right) help kids at the 2011 Bike Rodeo. The national police force may review how its volunteer officers are trained and deployed.

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops’ top cop said he won’t be surprised if the RCMP decides to revamp its auxiliary-constable program in the wake of the St. Albert, Alta., shootings that left one officer dead and an auxiliary member in hospital. Supt. Brad Mueller told the city’s co-ordinated enforcement committee this week that he met with the approximately 40 members of the local auxiliary force following the mid-January shooting at an Alberta casino, which took place after RCMP Const. David Wynn and auxiliary member Derek Bond tried to arrest a man suspected of stealing a truck. Both men were shot. Wynn died and Bond was injured. Mueller said local auxiliary officers are aware of the risks that come with policing and “they want to keep doing what they’re doing.” But, Mueller predicted, changes may be coming to the program. “The current program allows our auxiliary constables to be doing frontline duty policing without being armed,” he told KTW. “Certainly we provide them with training around some of the tools of intervention, but I think there’s going to be a review done at the national level.” Mueller would not predict how the program might be affected by the shootings, but hopes the RCMP won’t have a “knee-jerk” reaction. Mueller said Kamloops’ auxiliary constables were responsible for more than 9,000 hours of policing in 2014, 2,600 of which would have included ride-alongs with regular members and other frontline duties. “The impact they have is tremendous,” he said. “There’s tremendous value through that program. “We wouldn’t be able to deliver the community safety programs that we do without them.”

“The current program allows our auxiliary constables to be doing frontline duty policing without being armed . . . but I think there’s going to be a review done at the national level.”

Accused poacher faces new, unrelated charges TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Is it a witch hunt or a fraudulent sheep hunt? The defence lawyer representing an alleged cross-border poacher accused of lying about where he shot a record-setting Dall sheep more than 15 years ago said provincial authorities are on a witch hunt aimed at giving his client a bad name. Abe Dougan was back in Kamloops provincial court yesterday (Feb. 4) for the continuation of his trial on a dozen poaching charges stemming from a 1999 Dall sheep hunt. The Kamloops-based hunting guide claims to have killed the sheep in a remote part of northwestern B.C., where he had been entitled to do so in August 1999. The trophy earned a spot in the Big Game Records of B.C. record book — where a photo of Dougan posing with the sheep was published alongside a brief first-person account of the hunt,

in which Dougan described tracking the animal through a mountain range in northwest B.C. In 2011, Environment Yukon received a confidential tip that the photo of Dougan was actually taken in the Yukon, where he was not permitted to hunt. Using three-dimensional mapping software, an investigator located a Yukon mountain with similar characteristics to the mountain in the background of Dougan’s photo. In the summer of 2011, investigators flew by helicopter to the site they claim Dougan bagged the sheep — 18 kilometres north of the Yukon/B.C. border. They took a photo of the mountain range from what they felt was the exact location Dougan’s hunting partner was standing when the trophy photo was taken, court heard. The two pictures bear striking similarities, including a series of slides in the background and a distinct plateau on a mountain over Dougan’s left shoulder.

Last week, Dougan was charged with three new counts stemming from an unrelated cougar hunt near Williams Lake more than a year ago. Dougan, along with Brent Giles and Ryan Hartling, is facing one count each of hunting wildlife within six hours of being airborne, unlawful possession of dead wildlife and failing to accompany a person guided. “These people [B.C. conservation authorities] have made it their life’s work to get Mr. Dougan,” defence lawyer Kevin Church said in court. “They’re embarrassing him to Mr. Giles, the person that he’s working for. They’re telling him, ‘This guy is a bad guy. You shouldn’t deal with him. We know when we hear Abe Dougan’s around, we’re after you. So, don’t deal with this guy. Don’t hire this guy.’” The charges against Dougan, Giles and Hartling were sworn on Jan. 29. Church said the charges likely

wouldn’t have been laid if not for the interest in Dougan generated by the Dall sheep case — a trial that has been ongoing sporadically for well over a year. All three accused in the latest indictment are slated to make first appearances in Williams Lake provincial court next month. Church went on to say the Dall sheep charges are not serious enough to warrant the amount of court time they have garnered. “You have murders, you have accessing of child pornography by people in authority,” he said. “It’s not a sexual-assault case, it’s the harvest of a sheep. Again, I’m not trying to diminish it entirely. “But, there are still sheep tags given in that part of British Columbia. This was not a harvest of the last of its species. This was a legal animal harvested in British Columbia, we say.” During a hearing in December, Dougan denied that the Crown photo and the background of his trophy photo

were “an exact match.” “I agree that the backdrop has some similarities, as many mountain areas do,” he said. Church has asked Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame to toss the Dall sheep charges based on delay. She has not yet ruled on that application. The Dall sheep trial is expected to continue on Mach 9. If convicted, Dougan could lose his B.C. guide licence and be banned from hunting in the province. In August, Dougan was convicted in a Yukon court on charges alleging he wasted meat from sheep, caribou and moose killed in 2011 and hunted too soon after being airborne. In that instance, Dougan was a guide leading a Wyoming hunter on a hunt for stone sheep. The American hunter was fined $11,500 and barred from hunting in the Yukon for 10 years. Dougan was ordered to pay $15,000 in fines and banned from hunting or guiding in the Yukon for 20 years.

White Cane Week spreads word on vision loss TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s White Cane Week and the Canadian National Institute for the Blind wants to spread the word about vision loss and volunteer opportunities. “It’s really to bring awareness to what the white cane is,” said Les Nolin, a vision-services counsellor and the manager of the CNIB’s Kamloops office. “Without the white cane, if you’re blind or visually impaired, you probably wouldn’t get around on your own. “The importance is that it just gives independence.” Nolin said White Cane Week is important because it helps raise the profile of the CNIB. “It’s been around since 1946 and it gives us an opportunity to show that, when people see the white cane, the person they’re seeing is visually impaired or blind.” The Kamloops branch of the CNIB is hosting a luncheon today (Feb. 5), which will feature a talk from Petrina Dumais,

who volunteers in the organization’s Vision Mates program. “Basically, people that have limited vision and blindness, they go to the CNIB for help,” said Dumais, who has been volunteering as a Vision Mate since last fall. “It could be something totally different for anybody. It’s something as simple as reading to them.” Dumais said she signed up as a Vision Mate after hearing a radio ad promoting the program. She was paired with a Kamloops woman who suffers from vision loss. “She used to read and now she can’t anymore,” Dumais said. “They always say when you give, you receive, and that’s what it is. I can see her face light up when I start reading to her.” The luncheon runs from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Desert Gardens Seniors Centre, at Seymour Street and Fifth Avenue downtown. For more information and to learn more about volunteer opportunities within the CNIB, call 250-374-8080.

If you’ve ever had an insurance claim greeted with suspicion by ICBC, there are a few hundred reasons for that attitude. B.C.’s basic autoinsurance monopoly has released a report on fraud attempts from 2014, part of an estimated 10 to 15 per cent of insurance claims it says involve fraud or exaggeration. During the year, ICBC investigators referred 131 cases to Crown prosecutors for charges, with convictions in nine of 10 of them. ICBC has highlighted some of the efforts to obtain insurance coverage that should not have been paid — and how investigators responded: • A customer reported his truck was stolen at a movie theatre. The vehicle was recovered, burnt. A vehicle inspection showed the burnt truck

had serious mechanical problems, contrary to what the customer told ICBC. The customer’s cellphone records revealed he was at the scene where the burnt vehicle was found. The customer pleaded guilty to providing a false statement, was fined $4,000 and ordered to pay ICBC more than $3,000 for investigative and claims costs. • A customer who was prohibited from driving claimed his vehicle had been stolen at the time it was involved in a threevehicle crash. Forensic testing of residue on the vehicle’s driver-side airbag revealed a DNA match to

the customer and proved he was the driver at the time of the crash. The customer was found guilty of providing a false statement, fined $1,000 and ordered to pay ICBC more than $18,000 in claims costs and total loss payments for the other two vehicles involved. • A customer told ICBC his Honda Civic was parked outside his home when it was struck by an unknown vehicle that drove away from the scene. Damage was not consistent with a hitand-run and paint flecks matching the customer’s Civic were found embedded in a vehicle from

another hit-and-run claim. When confronted with this evidence, the driver of the Civic admitted to making a false claim as he had fled the crash scene after his vehicle struck another. He was fined $1,000, plus ordered to pay $5,600 in claim and repair costs. • A customer with only basic insurance and an expired driver’s licence rear-ended another vehicle. The customer asked the driver in the other vehicle to tell ICBC the crash happened a day later so she could buy optional insurance, which would cover the damage to her vehicle. The other driver refused. The underinsured customer then bought optional insurance on her way home from the crash. She was assessed the $7,400 cost of repairs to both vehicles.

FOOD ON THE GO — BUT WHERE? ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops’ rolling restaurateurs will most likely return to the downtown this spring, but don’t expect to see food trucks in many of the spots they occupied in 2014. City planner Stephen Bentley said the city is still working out its 2015 plans for food trucks, but probably won’t have them parked in front of the Paramount Theatre on Victoria Street, nor outside the Kamloops Art Gallery on Fifth Avenue — two of three spaces it tested in a pilot project last year. “The one in front of Gaglardi Square (at Seymour Street and Second Avenue), I think from the food trucks and the general feedback that we’ve got, that was the best one, so I think we’ll continue with that and maybe look at some other sites,” Bentley said. The city is still pinning down other locations and

it’s not yet clear if the number of possible spaces in which food trucks can park on public roads will expand or stay the same. Trucks also have the option of parking on private property at the discretion of the owner. Bentley is still awaiting results of a Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association survey about the trucks, as well as more feedback from truck owners who participated in the program last year. He also wants to find out if the North Shore Business Improvement Association is interested in having trucks cross to the other side of the river. “We’re kind of putting our feelers out now and, based on the feedback, we’ll be doing some tweaks and coming up with something,” Bentley said. Kamloops city council should see a new foodtruck proposal by April. If it approves, trucks could be parking on city streets again by May.

$325K for TRU trades program DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

While his predecessor once said Thompson Rivers University is not a research university, the new minister of advanced education said research is a key component on the Kamloops campus. In late 2013, then advancededucation minister Amrik Virk, while visiting the university, said TRU isn’t and would not be considered a research institution, although he also said research in trades and technology is essential for the university. Andrew Wilkinson was appointed to the ministry last month after Virk was moved to Wilkinson’s former job as minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services. Wilkinson returned to the community in which he grew up to give Thompson Rivers University $325,274 for new trades equipment. After the presentation on Wednesday, Feb. 4, Wilkinson

was asked if he agreed with Virk’s assertion. He told KTW his viewpoint is that TRU has three capacities — a large academic core, a vital trades and technology school and a healthy research component. TRU’s Trades and Technology Building is 100 per cent over its designed capacity. Last year, the university asked the province for $20 million to be used to construct another building to ease the capacity issue. The provincial contribution would cover about two-thirds of the cost, with the university chipping in between $8 million and $10 million. “I was talking with the finance minister about it last week,” Wilkinson said, noting his government is preparing a 10-year capital-projects plan for the province. “We are sorting out the demand and need and determining the priorities,” he said. Wilkinson called the trades school “a vital and successful

program” that is in an excellent position to grow because of the quality of education and its location in the Interior. The proposed building would be used to provide instruction in a variety of mining, pipeline, engineer and other trades, as well as introduce an instrumentation-engineering diploma program, which would be a first in Canada. Many of the trades would have an emphasis on the liquefied natural-gas industry the provincial government is promoting as an economic boon for B.C. The money Wilkinson announced is part of the province’s Skills for Jobs blueprint and will be used to buy a power threader for the pipefitter and plumbing students, jacking and lifting equipment for the heavymechanics courses, a scaffolding kit for carpentry, a gas-fired warm-air heating trainer for gas-fitter students and two stateof-the art ovens for the culinaryarts department.

RELAXED ATTITUDE ON MARIJUANA

T

he attitude towards marijuana in this province is in sharp contrast with the approach in other parts of Canada. Proof of that comes in details from a court document, filed as part of an application to seize a property near the Aldergrove border crossing that was the subject of a massive search last week. Although the large property just drew public attention last week, the documents suggest it has been used for marijuana production since 1993. That’s a 22-year period. It is important to keep in mind that, in 1993, growing and selling marijuana for any purpose was illegal in Canada. While there were advocates for medicinal marijuana, which has since been allowed, growing, selling and using the product could lead to criminal charges. Yet, as the documents suggest, there was plenty of marijuana being grown in Langley (and other parts of B.C.) at that time. Some was for local consumption and some was truly for medicinal purposes. However, the vast majority was grown for shipment to the U.S. and other countries, often in return for other drugs or guns, according to police. B.C. residents have had a more laissez-faire attitude towards marijuana since the late 1960s and a willingness to put up with marijuana growing, if not actively partaking in what has been a big business, has been strong for many years. Could any other province have been so receptive to marijuana activist Marc Emery who, after serving several years in a U.S. jail, is encouraging American marijuana users to come to B.C. and buy their supply — even though it remains illegal to sell it, except for medicinal purposes? It seems likely that, if the legalization of marijuana in Washington and Colorado turns out to be successful, marijuana will be legalized throughout North America some day. If that does happen, B.C. marijuana activists, and the laissez-faire attitude that so many B.C. residents have, will have played a major role.

We should all be pro-vaxxers

A

bout two-dozen years ago, while still just a toddler, my middle son came down with a runny nose and

cough. Considering our house was kid-central back then, I assumed he had picked up some bug that would make its way through all the kids, then disappear. A couple of days later, he had a slight temperature — nothing that set off those mom alarm bells, but worrisome nonetheless. Within a day, his temperature was 105 F and he was convulsing. The diagnosis was red measles. It is one of those nightmare situations parents dread, watching helplessly as their child suffers. Fortunately, he recovered unscathed — 30 per cent of those who get the red measles can have other complications — and neither his brother nor sister came down with the illness from being exposed to him. That’s likely because some of my kids have inherited my strange reaction to drugs. They were all vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella, but my daughter defied the odds and came down with mumps a year later. And, despite once again getting the flu shot last fall, I just finished a four-week run of battling H3N2. When the doctor diagnosed my daughter back then, he asked if he could invite the younger doctors in his clinic into the examination room to take a look at her because none of them had ever seen a real case of the mumps. The vaccine for it wasn’t introduced in North America until

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL 1967, a good six years too late for my younger sister. She had viral meningoencephalitis as a baby — an affliction doctors attributed to the mumps and one that left her with significant hearing loss. These memories came crashing to the front of my brain as I watched videos of the supposed experts and wannabe-U.S. presidential candidates talk about why they are against vaccinations being required. We’re putting poison into our kids, they said. It’s a matter of personal freedom, others maintained. Then there was the former poster child for ignorance when it comes to vaccinations — model and actor Jenny McCarthy — linking vaccinations to autism. To be fair, McCarthy did backtrack last year when she denied ever saying people should not get their children vaccinated. I figure history speaks to the value of vaccinations. From 1855 to 2005, for example, measles killed an estimated 200-million people around the world. Anti-vaxxers need to just stop

it and understand they’re putting their children at risk by not providing them with the protection. They need to stop reading the posts and watching the videos from like-minded people who somehow equate looking after their children’s health as violating their human rights. They also need to know — as so many people who visited Disneyland recently have learned — their actions have consequences beyond their own child. For the unaware, more than 100 people have come down with measles from someone sharing their space in the Happiest Place on Earth. Odds are they’re not too happy. Just a few months before the January measles outbreak at Disneyland, 383 people living in Ohio came down with measles from unvaccinated missionaries returning from abroad and carrying the virus. Here’s the simple explanation: They are our kids. It’s our job to do everything we can to protect them, to ensure they are healthy. We make them wear helmets when they ride their bikes or go skiing. We use car seats and seatbelts when travelling with them. We teach them stranger-danger and street-smart rules. Vaccinations are just another form of protection. Sure, sometimes they don’t work but, after watching my toddler convulsing one night — well, let’s just say if I wasn’t already, it made me a vaccine believer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WHY PUNISH ALL FOR SINS OF FEW? SMART METERS AND OLD

Editor: All take-out food is to be banned in public areas. If that was the headline, it would certainly draw the attention of readers. If the article went on to say that, because of the trash left lying around, the city had decided to stop letting anyone bring food or drinks into public areas like parks and trails, people would be furious. Yet a few bad and lazy dog owners are prompting the same generalized reaction — some are bad, so ban them all! Realistically, if a

person has a blatant disregard for bylaws, whether it is pooping and scooping or lit-

tering, punishing me won’t change that. Laurel Scott Kamloops

Editor: I am keeping my analog meter on my 1912 lath-andplaster-built home. I refuse to have a smart meter installed as a result of FortisBC’s and BC Hydro’s own explanations for fires in our province, as well as for a number of additional reasons I won’t get into at this time. I am concerned about the fire issue of smart meters. After studying and reading many reports about actual fires and reasons issued by FortisBC and BC Hydro about “mysterious fires,” it’s hard not to miss the excuse of older homes with older wiring and substandard wiring, etc.

By their own words, FortisBC and BC Hydro are identifying a problem with older homes and new technology not mixing well. It has become clear by their own admissions that FortisBC and BC Hydro have also identified a problem and should be held accountable and made to stop installation of smart meters with homes that have “old infrastructure,” “walls covered in heavy gauge wire mesh and plaster” and “fibre-covered electrical wiring” that does not have the ability to support smart-meter technology.

PREMIER CLARK NEEDS TO STOP HER BULLYING WAYS Editor: It will not be long until Premier Christy Clark is promoting Pink Shirt Day by donning a pink shirt and denouncing bullying for a day. To many people in this province, it will seem as if Ray Rice is lecturing them on domestic violence. Clark has consistently bullied people in B.C. — and others — for as long as she has been in office. She always seems to be bullying, ridiculing, belittling or demeaning one group or another. As recently as January, she belittled fans of the Is Premier Christy Clark a bully? KTW reader Terry Hamilton thinks she is. What do you think of our premier? Let us know via email: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Toronto Maple Leafs and, a few days later, she called another group of people, those who support her political rivals, “lazy.” It seems to come effortlessly to Clark and, like Ray Rice, she always has an excuse for her behaviour. Clark may tell you she is not a bully, but her actions and words prove otherwise. The simple act of putting on a pink shirt and denouncing bullying does not give her a pass for the rest of the year. As the saying goes, “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig.” Terry Hamilton Kamloops

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: LETTER: INTOLERANCE OF ANTIAJAX GROUPS TOO EVIDENT:

“The main focus of the community advisory group (CAG) is to assist the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (BCEAO) in determining the contents of the application for information requirements, which sets out the studies that will be required in the application to be submitted by Ajax. “The current 16 groups were asked by the BCEAO to join the CAG for that purpose. There is only one ‘anti’ group on the CAG. The rest remain neutral. “The concern of the existing groups is that the Kamloops Exploration Group (KEG) will push a pro-mining, pro-Ajax agenda on the CAG and not provide positive input. “If the KEG had any intentions of positive input into the environmental assessment, it would have made submissions during the two previous comment periods. That is when our community needed the expertise of the KEG.” — posted by Nelsonx1

LOCAL NEWS DRUGS, SAWED-OFF SHOTGUN LEADS TO ARREST A 25-year-old Kamloops man is behind bars and will likely be charged with drug and firearms charges. Just after 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 3, Kamloops Mounties were called to a downtown hotel after a caller reported seeing a man armed with a gun. Checks of the area turned up a suspect in

a nearby alley, according to RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush. “The male was found to be in possession of drugs and a sawed-off shotgun and was located in the vehicle that he was associated to,” she said. The investigation is ongoing and the suspect has not yet been charged.

Accidents? It must be snowing First responders were kept busy on Kamloops-area highways as snow piled up during a storm on Monday, Feb. 2. Just before 2 p.m., Mounties were called to a single-vehicle wreck on Heffley-Louis Creek Road, where a skier returning to Kamloops from Sun Peaks hit the ditch in fresh, slushy snow. The female driver was the lone occupant and she sustained no injuries after her car left the road and struck a power pole. A half-hour later, another vehicle left the same road, rolling onto its side in the ditch.

Neither the driver nor his two occupants were injured. Shortly before 4:30 p.m., police were called to a stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway near Tobiano, where a woman had lost control of her car and slid off the road. She was also uninjured. According to Kamloops Rural RCMP Staff Sgt. Doug Aird, other single-vehicle wrecks were reported along the Coquihalla and in the Inks Lake area, where as much as two inches of wet snow fell in a short period of time.

By the time police arrived, the occupants had left. At about 3:30 p.m., Mounties were called to another singlevehicle rollover, this time on Alpine Drive in Sun Peaks, where a Ford Explorer was found on its roof with no one around. Just after 4 p.m., emergency crews responded to a singlevehicle crash on the Coquihalla Highway near the Inks Lake exit, south of Kamloops. A car left the road in slushy conditions and rolled twice before coming to a stop in the centre ditch.

Aberdeen Highlands weighs in From A1

The study will also look at locating the dry-stack tailings pile at the location where the wet-tailings pond is now planned. Gillespie estimated the study will take two to three months. The chosen method will be included in KGHM Ajax’s application, expected early this year, as the preferred option. Meanwhile, the corporation that controls undeveloped property in Aberdeen is concerned about effects of KGHM Ajax’s proposed wettailings dam that it says could increase underground pressures and have “catastrophic� consequences to existing homes and developable property. Aberdeen

Highlands Development Corp. expressed the concerns in a letter to the provincial Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) as part of its public comment period, which is now closed. “Groundwater seepage from the pit and the tailingsstorage facility will impact the lands downslope and north of the mine in many ways . . .� Aberdeen Highlands wrote. “Any additional rises in piezometric pressures will have catastrophic consequences to existing homes and any future development of the stakeholder lands.� The corporation cites a report from engineering firm Golder Associates that

Aberdeen Highlands did not respond to phone calls from KTW requesting an interview. The letter from the developer says the city has designated Aberdeen to

receive 48 per cent of its future growth, a potential Aberdeen Highlands says could be compromised by the mine and its tailings storage. The corporation also makes a number of suggestions for KGHM Ajax’s proposed application, including new groundwater wells that would be monitored for at least a year to gain understanding. The letter also asks the EAO to determine whether there is bonding or insurance in case of tailings failure or other negative impacts. KGHM Ajax declined to comment on the letter, stating it will respond as part of the EAO process.

In the middle of July 2012, however, the lawsuit said “Bubbar demanded that the following be built as a precondition of using the building.” The statement of claim said that demand included a driveway to allow two firetrucks to pass one another, a fire hydrant with a pump capable of 1,100 gallons per minute, a backup water system and a million-gallon water reservoir for further backup. The statement of claim said

Bubbar was grossly negligent in making the demands. “The requirement to install the fire-prevention works contradicted the plans that had been approved. The works were unnecessary and not required,” it alleges. “The cost of these works were in excess of $250,000.” The statement of claim also said it was too late to install sprinklers on the building. The lawsuit further alleges planner Luciani told members of the public that Rainbow’s Roost is not a farm and that

it was in contravention of the ALC and city bylaws “As a result of the false statements made by Luciani, many people who had booked special events cancelled these events,” the statement of claim said. The city issued a cease-anddesist order at the operation early last year, followed by a do-not-occupy notice. The City of Kamloops has not yet filed a statement of defence. None of the allegations have been proven or heard in court.

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s dizzying to consider all the scenarios in the Canada West men’s volleyball playoff picture. But, for head coach Pat Hennelly and the TRU WolfPack, there’s only one thing to focus on: Winning. “It’s narrowed down,” Hennelly said of the convoluted playoff picture. “We came in with all these crazy possibilities . . . really, we can’t catch Winnipeg. I don’t think we can catch UBC because I project they win one, if not both, against Regina.” Saskatchewan is the only team TRU can catch, Hennelly said, noting an unlikely Mount Royal sweep of Alberta will dash the Pack’s playoff hopes. “This is the most control we’ve had,” he continued. “It’s just narrowed down to one thing. It’s us against Sask.” TRU enters the final weekend of regular-season play riding a six-match winning streak. The Saskatchewan Huskies and the Pack square off tomorrow (Feb. 6) and on Saturday in Saskatoon. TRU is on the outside looking in at the playoffs, in danger of missing the post-season after winning a Canada West bronze medal in 2013-2014. With 11 wins and 11 losses, TRU is in 10th place, three spots back of the conference’s final playoff team, the No. 7 UBC Thunderbirds. The Thunderbirds, too,

have an 11-11 record, as do the Mount Royal Cougars, who sit in ninth, one spot up on TRU. The Calgary Dinos, at 11-13, have completed their regular-season action and occupy eighth place. All four teams have 22 points and are separated by virtue of a tie-breaker — the ratio of sets won versus sets lost this season. Currently, 10th-place TRU has a ratio of 42:43, or 0.98, while ninth-place Mount Royal is 42:42 (1.00). The eighth-place Dinos are 48:46 (1.04) and the Thunderbirds, seventh, are 48:42 (1.14). The Huskies are 12-10

entering the weekend and occupy sixth place in the conference. Should TRU sweep the series, Saskatchewan will fall out of the playoffs. Should Saskatchewan win even one match, it’s TRU that will be finished for the season. “It has never been like this. It has never been this tight,” Hennelly said. “I think the other thing it has never been, there’s never been this kind of movement. For a team [Saskatchewan] that could be hosting or out, it has never been like that.” Other series will alter the picture, too. The Mount Royal Cougars

will face the nation’s No. 2 seed, the Canada Westleading Alberta Golden Bears. Ideally for TRU, the Bears will sweep the Cougars with the sort of play that has led the Edmonton club to a 19-3 record this season. UBC has the most favourable schedule of all the teams still vying for the playoffs, facing off against the 2-20 Regina Cougars this weekend. The series has been all but won by the Thunderbirds, which would put the team at 13-11 and out of reach of the WolfPack. The fifth-place Manitoba Bisons, too, are essentially out of reach for the Pack, despite being 12-10 and just two points ahead of TRU. Manitoba’s two final matches come against the conference-worst MacEwan Griffins, who are just 1-21 on the season. An anxiety-filled weekend of scoreboard watching will cap a memorable regular season. “It has been pretty hectic, for sure,” said Stuart Richey, who is playing in his fifth and final season with the Pack. “It has been pretty crazy going into every weekend, realizing that it’s a must-win, no matter who you’re playing.” The season would be all the more memorable if it finishes with a playoff berth. “Running the table in the second semester and making playoffs would be a dream come true, for sure,” Richey said.

veryone knows I’m all about the kids. Actually, nobody — not one person — knows that. Truth be told, the main reason I signed up for the 2015 Y Strong Kids Challenge: A free, three-month gym membership that includes sessions with a personal trainer. Before you decide I’m the world’s worst guy, understand I didn’t have a clue what Strong Kids was all about. I didn’t know in 2014 the campaign raised $78,000, which allowed 850 children in need to participate in Y programs. This year, 11 teams — including KTW’s offering, Press Time — are endeavouring to raise $85,000 to make sure 1,000 kids stay active. There are three competitions built into the contest, with awards going to the first-, second- and third-place teams. Each member of each team has set individual goals. Whichever team meets the most goals wins the fitness challenge. I’ll be losing 10 pounds between Feb. 9 and March 9, proving once and for all to Matt Bellamy — that milk bag over at Radio NL — that I’m his physical superior. Squads have also been challenged to raise campaign awareness

through social media. If your team is judged to have excelled in that area, it wins an award. The third and most important task is to collect cash for the kids. I don’t see Press Time raising the most cake. “Marty! Way to go! You have no faith in your team!” Shut up. I’m a realist. There are highfalutin, deep-pocketed players in this game, with big-wig business buds primed to donate, not to mention the three women who guaranteed fundraising victory with such fervent, terrifying conviction.

If there is anyone who knows the value of volunteering at the Special Olympics, it’s Marilyn McLean. “I love the athletes and the reminders they give me about dedication and spirit and the true meaning of sport,” said McLean, who was helping out at the first provincial Special Olympics event in 1980. “It’s going to be really exciting to host them in Kamloops and for our athletes to be cheered on by their friends and family here.” The Special Olympics B.C. (SOBC) Winter Games are slated to run from Feb. 19 to Feb. 21 in the Tournament Capital and Sun Peaks. They will feature about 25 local athletes competing for the Region 2 team in three events — floor hockey,

curling and snowshoeing. Other SOBC winter sports include alpine and cross-country skiing, along with figure skating and speed skating. John Atherton, director of volunteer services for the Games, said 660 people have already signed on to help, but the executive committee would like to have 800 on board. There is a specific need for those with first-aid experience. To sign up, go online to sobcgameskamloops.

The Kamloops Triathlon Club (KTC) is hosting a race in conjunction with the Kamloops Indoor Granfondo and Family Festival on Family Day weekend. On Saturday, Feb. 7, the 4X Mixed Relay Indoor Triathlon will be held at the Tournament Capital Centre (TCC), with race time slated for 1 p.m. Participants can register as individuals or mixed-gender teams for the super-sprint style triathlon, which features a 300-metre swim, a 6.6-kilometre bike ride and a 1.6-kilometre run. To register, call 250828-3500, go online to kamloops.ca/ezreg or sign up in person at the TCC. It costs $30 to sign up or $20 for KTC members. TriBC membership is required for insurance or the purchase of single-event insurance for $15. The indoor granfondo, an indoor-cycling event, will be held on Sunday. Register online at kamloopsgranfondo. ca. Family Day in B.C. is on Monday.

Ethan Wenger hopped on a bike at the 2014 Kamloops Indoor Granfondo at the Tournament Capital Centre.

Marilyn McLean: Volunteering with Special Olympics for 35 years.

ca, call the Kamloops Sports Council at 250828-3822 or phone Atherton at 250-3772053. Anyone able to help set up before the opening ceremony at the Tournament Capital Centre on Feb. 19 is also asked to come forward. McLean, a teacher, principal and assistant superintendent in School District 73 for 35 years, is chairwoman of the local organizing committee and an assistant coach with the Region 2 snowshoeing team. She is the longestserving SOBC volunteer in the province. “It’s a really good

opportunity for the people of Kamloops to see what Special Olympics is all bout,” McLean said. “Who knows, we might even get some volunteers for our ongoing programs and fundraisers, too.” There is expected to be about 700 athletes with intellectual disabilities from across B.C. and the Yukon in Kamloops for the Games. “Even if you can’t volunteer, come along to support the athletes,” Atherton said. “We’re definitely looking for people to just come and cheer and shout.”

VANCOUVER — Ronalds Kenins knew he had to make amends — fast. The Vancouver Canucks’ rookie forward had just taken a holding penalty 200 feet from his own net with the score tied 1-1 early in the third period of against Winnipeg on Tuesday, Feb. 3. With the 23-yearold Latvian cooling his heels, the Jets scored just 20 seconds later to grab the lead. “We were just talking in the locker-room that in the third period we had to try and not take a penalty,’’ Kenins said after the game. “I went out my first shift and got a penalty. “I was kind of ner-

vous [after] I took that penalty and they scored.’’ Kenins — who recorded his first NHL goal in just his second career game during Sunday’s 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild — atoned for his earlier gaffe against the Jets, burying a quick shot past Winnipeg goalie Ondrej Pavelec with under eight minutes to go in the third before Vancouver defenceman Luca Sbisa won it in overtime. “I felt really bad

(about the penalty),’’ said Kenins. “Lucky I got back their goal and we turned around and we won the game.’’ Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins said it was nice to see the energetic fourth liner cancel out his earlier mistake while engaging hulking Winnipeg defenceman Zach Bogosian on the forecheck. “That would have hurt him. That penalty was a tough one for him,’’ said Desjardins. “He was just trying to get in there . . . such a big body that he just kind of grabbed him a bit, but it was good to see him respond that way.’’ Signed as a free agent in summer of 2013, Kenins is a gritty

straight-line player who enjoys the physical side of the game and his strong showing has pushed the struggling Zack Kassian to the press box as a healthy scratch the last two outings. “Since he’s been up with us he’s been bringing a lot of energy,’’ said Vancouver forward Alexandre Burrows. “He’s doing everything he’s asked.’’ The Jets tried to intimidate the Canucks with their physicality on Tuesday, but Vancouver responded well thanks in part to Kenins’ pushback. “It makes me go harder when [opponents] are hitting our guys,’’ he said. “It makes me kind of mad and it’s good for me.’’

Kenins spent the last six seasons playing in Switzerland and had five goals, seven assists and 23 penalty minutes in 36 games with the AHL’s Utica Comets before getting called up last week. “I know I have to work hard every shift,’’ Kenins said bluntly. “I got two goals, but it doesn’t mean anything.’’ Vancouver (28-183) is back in action tonight (Feb. 5) against the San Jose Sharks. Game time is 7 p.m. at Rogers Arena. The Canucks sat tied for third in the Pacific Division as of KTW’s press deadline yesterday, two points back of the Sharks, who were in action last night against hometown Calgary.

For Irish rugby, it turns out there is life after Brian O’Driscoll. The international retirement of O’Driscoll following Ireland’s title success in last year’s Six Nations left a major hole in the national team. How would it cope without the great centre, one of the country’s greatest ever servants? There was no need to worry. Ireland has won every game since, including four in a row against giants from the southern hemisphere’s Rugby Championship, and is the team to beat in the 2015 Six Nations that starts tomorrow (Feb. 6) with an eagerly anticipated clash between fierce rivals Wales and England in Cardiff. A typically unpredictable tournament — there have been four different winners

long way in terms of composure,’’ England forwards coach Graham Rowntree said. France coach Philippe Saint-Andre was asked at last week’s tournament launch what to expect from his team over the next two months. “To be honest,’’ he said, “I have no idea.’’ And there lies the problem for the mercurial French. The time has come for Saint-Andre to stop tinkering and lay the foundations for a World Cup campaign by picking a settled side in the Six Nations. But this is France, and experimentation is a hard habit to break. Will this be the year Scotland turns from being a plucky hopeful to a genuine contender? Impressive wins over Argentina and Tonga in November, combined with a narrow loss to New Zealand, suggest the highly rated Cotter is building something to savour at Murrayfield.

in the last five years — again appears wide open. An argument could be made for France, England and Wales winning the last Six Nations before the Rugby World Cup in September, while Scotland looks to have improved immeasurably under new coach Vern Cotter. Italy, once again, is the rank outsider and favourite for a fifth wooden spoon in seven editions. It’s tough to look beyond Ireland as champion, though,

and the fixture list helps. Joe Schmidt’s team is at home to France and England and has away games against Italy and Scotland. Its other away match, against Wales in Round 4, is the toughest fixture and could prove to be the title decider. With a home World Cup looming, England will be looking to assert itself and win the Six Nations for the first time under Stuart Lancaster. The English have great strength in depth, and pride in the shirt has been regained in Lancaster’s tenure, but the team still appears a work in progress, and doubts remain about the best composition in the back row and at half back. Much will depend on how the English get on in the tournament opener at Millennium Stadium, where they were smashed 30-3 in a title decider two years ago. “We learned a lot from that game and we have come a

DEEP

TERESA CLINE SPECIAL TO KTW teresathetraveler.ca

A

little known favourite place to hike in Kamloops is the Deep Lake Loop. Deep Lake is a tiny lake with mucky shores that is beautiful to look at, but not so fun to swim in unless you don’t mind making your way through sludgy shores to get to the clean water in the middle. The entire route of this year-round hiking trail is about six kilometres, starting in a gulley and opening up to the beautiful Lac du Bois Grasslands Protected Area. This area rises north and westward from the hot, dry Thompson Valley through three grassland communities to the forested hills above. In fact, nowhere else in North America can you find these types of grassland communities in such close proximity to each other. If you choose to hike further into the park, you can take the Grasslands Community Trail. This 13-kilometre route guides you through each grasslands ecosystem, from sagebrush fields near Ida Lane into blue bunch wheatgrass meadows and on to cool dry forest near McQueen Lake,

dominated by Douglas Fir Trees. About one-quarter of Earth’s land is covered with grasslands, but many of these lands have been turned into farms. No other habitat is as agriculturally useful to humans as grasslands. Soils tend to be deep and fertile, perfect for cropland or pastures. Much of the North American prairie lands have been converted into one of the richest agricultural regions on Earth.

DID YOU KNOW?

Deep Lake gets stocked with brook and rainbow trout and, depending on stocking in the current and previous two years — as well as the winter survival rates of fish — it can offer some excellent fly fishing from shore.

HOW TO GET THERE

Take Westsyde Road until you reach Ida Lane and turn left. You will see the parking area and trailhead. To discover other interesting places to see in British Columbia, go online to teresathetraveler.ca.

Revisiting controversial issue BRUCE CHEADLE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Two decades after ruling against doctor-assisted death for suffering, terminally ill patients, the Supreme Court of Canada will reveal tomorrow (Feb. 6) its latest answer to one of modern society’s ultimate, existential questions. In an age when medical science can preserve life far beyond nature’s course, what right do mentally competent, but physically incapable, individuals have to seek assistance in speeding their exit? The case at hand revolves around two B.C. women, both now dead, who wished to end their “grievous and irremediable’’ illnesses with medical help. Gloria Taylor, who had a neurodegenerative disease, eventually died of an infection. Kay Carter, then 89, travelled to Switzerland, where assisted suicide is allowed. Taylor had won a constitutional exemption at a lower court for a medically assisted death in 2012, but that decision was overturned in subsequent appeals. In January 2014, the Supreme

DANIEL GEORGE LINDSAY July 30, 1970 January 27, 2015

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dan on January 27, 2015 in Calgary, Alberta at the age of 44. Dan fought a hard and courageous battle with cancer and is now with his beloved wife Dawn. They are watching over their two children Carter and Maddy. A memorial service will be held to celebrate Dan’s courage on Saturday, February 7, 2015 at 3:00 pm MST at the Golden Civic Centre, 806 1Oth Avenue South, Golden. In lieu of flowers a trust fund has been set up at the CIBC Golden, for Carter and Maddy.

Court of Canada agreed to settle the matter — effectively readjudicating its 1993 judgment in the case of Sue Rodriguez. Much has changed since a deeply divided top court rejected a bid by Rodriguez — who suffered from ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease —for the right to end her life with a physician’s help. End-of-life issues are much more top of mind for an aging demographic bulge of baby boomers who are watching their parents pass — and contemplating their own earthly end as a result. Polls suggest public opinion has swung predominantly in favour of doctor-assisted death for the most cruelly afflicted. When the Supreme Court heard arguments in what is known as the Carter case last October, the public lined up two hours before the hearing began and overflow seating had to be arranged in the court lobby. At the time of the Rodriguez ruling, no jurisdiction in the world sanctioned doctor-assisted suicide. Today there are at least eight that do — not including pending, contested legislation in Quebec. However, much remains fun-

damentally the same. “Given the concerns about abuse and the great difficulty in creating appropriate safeguards, the blanket prohibition on assisted suicide is not arbitrary or unfair,’’ then-justice John Sopinka wrote for the Supreme Court majority in 1993. “The prohibition relates to the state’s interest in protecting the vulnerable and is reflective of fundamental values at play in our society.’’ The court ruled the ban on assisted suicide did not infringe on the Section 7 “life, liberty and security’’ provisions in the charter and, while violating equality language in Section 15, it was justified as a reasonable limit. But it was a profoundly split decision, with four of the nine justices dissenting — eloquently and at length. Beverley McLachlin, who had been on the top court for four years in 1993, wrote a dissenting opinion that not only disagreed with the majority, but also with the dissenting opinion of the court’s then-chief justice Antonio Lamer. Today, McLachlin is the chief justice _ and the only judge from the 1993 court still sitting.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Nathan went into a career in pipeline construction. Nathan’s kindness, gentleness and good sense of humour will be missed by all. We would like to thank the staff at RIH, especially the physicians and nurses in ICU, for the kindness and caring shown to Nathan and our family.

June 24, 1924 ~ January 28, 2015

Mildred passed away peacefully on the evening of January 31, 2015. She was predeceased by her husband Walter and her son Bryan.

DAVID CHARLES EBURNE

She will be cherished forever by her family; son John (Lucy), granddaughters Jennifer and Shana and great-grandson Mackenzie; her son Roy (Dee) and granddaughter Tahnee (Brandon); her daughter Marguerite and granddaughter Laura (Anthony), great-grandchildren Aiyana and Soul; grandson Shane (Nesta), and granddaughter Heather (Shawn). Mildred was born in Manchester, England, the eighth of nine children. During the Second World War, she served in the British Air Force and in 1946, she came to Canada as a War Bride. In 1964 the family moved to Kamloops. In past years she served as President of the Mothers Auxiliary to the Air Cadets, Member and President of the Vinsula Womens Institute, member of Mount Paul United Church Women’s Group, and participated in a very active Bridge Club. She spent the last few years before retirement at the Overlander Care Facility, employed in the Dietary. Mildred grew an astonishing English Country Garden. She and Walter spent many happy hours there and at the cabin they built at Adams Lake in the late 60’s. Her joy was spending time with family and countless friends. Mildred touched many lives in her 94 years with her loving ways, quick wit and sense of humour. Thanks to all the wonderful staff and caregivers who have assisted our mother in her varying needs; at Berwick, The Ponderosa and especially those at Ridgeview during her declining health. Many thanks also to Dr. C. Bantock for his many years of taking care of his “English Patient.” A Celebration of Mildred’s life will be held in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, 285 Fortune Dr. at 1:00 PM on Saturday, February 7, 2015.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters to what lies within us.’ It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our mother on January 28, 2015. Once upon a memory someone wiped away a tear, Held me close and loved me. Thank you Mother Dear. If we had a single flower for each thought of you We could walk in our garden forever. Memories unfold as we think of you, A real Mom, through and through. You suffered in silence everyday An illness that would not go away. But now you have no more pain For God’s loving arms have healed you again.

The family farmed in Peavine, Alberta until 1942, moved to Calgary and White Rock before finally moving to Westsyde in 1947, settling on Westysde road to farm. Freda soon met the tall, dark & handsome neighbour across the road, Mike Bebek and they married in 1949. In 1950 Mary was born, Michael followed in 1951. In 1953, Mike’s family relocated to the Lethbridge area with Mike, Freda and kids moving into what became the Bebek family home for the next 58 years. In 1958 Walter was born and in 1960 Christina followed. The Bebek family was one of the original 16 families that farmed in Westsyde. Mike worked various jobs at the sawmill and CNR, while raising cattle, pigs and chickens and a very large garden to feed the family, Freda raising the children and working as a farm wife. The Bebeks’ were known in the valley for the Golden Beauty corn they grew for sale. Freda took a secretarial course once the children were on their own, and she worked for the Ministries of Environment and Highways. She loved her job and worked for ten years, until Mike became ill and she retired to spend his last days with him. On retirement she discovered lawn bowling and spent many years at the McArthur Island Lawn Bowling Club, traveling to events in the Lower Mainland and once to Hawaii. She volunteered for the Canada Summer Games, and was a member of the BCREA, spending many volunteer hours as Secretary. Painting was a big part of her life and we have discovered a huge cache of treasured paintings from over the years. Travel was also a love of Freda’s - to Fiji, many trips up the BC coast on various boats, Mexico many times, and to the US to visit family members. Over the years, as the children

married and grandchildren and great-grandchildren came along, she was the one we all went to for advice and comfort. She was happiest when she had a pile of runners by her front door because she had grandchildren and their friends to feed and visit with. Gramma’s recipe box is treasured as it holds many of the grandchildrens’ favourite cookie and square recipes. Freda loved cats and often had more than one to warm her lap. Her garden was her passion in later years and she grew the best tomatoes. She was a warm, sociable, loving woman who always put others before herself. She had unconditional love for all her family. Always loved and remembered; beautiful memories forever. Freda was predeceased by her older sister Elsie, her parents, Carl and Lillian (Woolley) Jensen, her brother-in-law Wally, and her husband of 41 years, Mike. Freda is survived by her brother Bob (Jasia) and their children Carrey, Jasia (Troy) and Bud (Nanette); her sister Carol and her children Tress, Tania (Clay), Carmen (Gord) and Christopher (Corina). Left to mourn are children Mary (John), Michael (Rose), Walter, and Christina (Ron); 13 grandchildren Debbie, Jason (Jodi), Dan, Brian (Devon), Geoff (Renee), Jake (Rebecca), Clay (Niki), Ryan (Renie), Mindy (Dan), Ashley (Curt), Wally, Randy (Caitlin) and Amber; 17 great-grandchildren Mercedes, Joseph, Matthew, Corbin, Trinity, Billy, Julian, Jacob, Georgia, Rachael, Layne, Madison, Mackenzie, Michael, Tyson and Miley. Extended family and friends missing her are Freda, Dennis, Sheila, Christine and Marlene, her cousins in Minnesota, as well as Mike’s family in Lethbridge, Andrea, Millie, and all their extended families, too numerous to mention. The family would like to thank The Hamlets at Westsyde for their care of our Mom the last four years, there were so many care aids, nurses and recreation staff that treated our mom like she was theirs and the family greatly appreciates them. Freda’s journey in this world is finally at an end and she is now resting peacefully. A Celebration of Freda’s life will be held later in the year. No flowers please - a donation on her behalf to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada or the SPCA is appreciated. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

The Time Is Now (Author Unknown)

If you are ever going to love me, Love me now, while I can know The sweet and tender feelings Which from true affection flow. Love me now While I am living. Do not wait until I’m gone And then have it chiseled in marble, Sweet words on ice-cold stone. If you have tender thoughts of me, Please tell me now. If you wait until I am sleeping, Never to awaken, There will be death between us, And I won’t hear you then. So, if you love me, even a little bit, Let me know it while I am living So I can treasure it.

here’s a deeply personal reason why Doc and the Disorderlies are singing for others this weekend. They’re doing it for Randi Weiss, a former Kamloopsian who now lives in Israel, working with the Save a Child’s Heart organization. Her mother Fain is of the Disorderlies who

back up their Doc — lead singer Chris Doherty — when the group performs, and she’s why all proceeds from the band’s Saturday, Feb. 7, performance at The Art We Are, 246 Victoria St., will be going to the organization’s annual Valentine’s Day campaign, Give Your Heart Out. The Canadian-inspired, Israeli-based Save a Child’s Heart provides free life-saving surgery to children in developing countries who might otherwise die from heart disease.

It also trains doctors and other medical staff to return to their homelands and provide that level of medical care there. Since it began in 1999 to the end of last year, the organization has provided 3,479 operations to children throughout the Middle East, the Far East, Africa and South America. The majority of surgeries (1,710) were done in the Palestinian Authority, with 395 in Ethiopia, 299 in Zanzibar and another 212 in Iraq among the 48 countries listed on its website as having seen one of their youngest citizens receive an operation.

Funds support surgeries, training From B1

While it is based in the Wolfson Medical Centre in Holon, Israel, the organization was created by Ephraim Diamond of Toronto, a realestate developer and founder of Cadillac-Fairview, once one of the largest real-estate empires in North America. Diamond died in 2008. Weiss, 26, is the youth leadership director for the charity and is leading this year’s campaign. She is also doing postgraduate studies at a university in Haifa. Weiss said the work her daughter and colleagues at the charity are doing is “unbelieveable work. It’s just remarkable.” She said while they perform many surgeries there, the training they provide to other

doctors is just as essential because it helps spread their work, increasing the number of children who can potentially be saved. Medical staff are trained to work in a pediatric intensivecare unit, do administer anesthesia, do cardiac surgery and all aspects of pediatric cardiology, from evaluating patients to the battery of tests they must have to determine the severity of their condition to other lifesaving procedures. Randi, who attended Thompson Rivers University, became involved with the charity as a student at Simon Fraser University, where she finished her science degree. Her job in Israel is to oversee the many volunteers who gather there from around the world. She also handles

public relations. The charity is involved in other philanthropic programs that help children, including providing mothers with tote bags and sandals, buying strollers for parents, filling backpacks with school supplies for children and buying arts and crafts supplies. It has various levels of sponsorship, ranging from the strollers at $200 each to saving a life at an estimated cost of $10,000. Joining Doherty and Weiss in the band are Bruce Campbell and Garly Nielsen. The Disorderlies released their first CD, House Calls, a collection of 12 tunes. Admission to the Saturday, Feb. 7, show is by donation. The doors open at 7:30 p.m., with the music set to begin at 8 p.m.

Teen ranks top third in piano competition DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

K

en Massalski said he was feeling the pressure. The 17-year-old was trying to record himself performing a challenging piece of work by Frederick Chopin to enter into a CBC piano competition. The work itself, Ballade No. 1 in G Minor, Opus 23, has been described as one of the most difficult to play — but that’s not what was adding to Ken’s tension. It was having his parents and pianist younger brother watching as he did what he estimated to be about 20 recordings, looking for the perfect one to send in to the CBC Piano Hero classical piano competition for amateurs. In the end, the international baccalaureate student at NorKam secondary didn’t win — a 37-year-old Calgary periodontist took the top prize — but he finished in the top one-third

of the 243 who took part and that was satisfying for him. “It’s not about winning. It was just a great experience. It’s the first time recording myself playing.� Ken said he’s been studying piano for a dozen years and, in those early days of practising nightly, he didn’t like it that much. “But I didn’t want to quit, so I just kept going to see where it would lead me to,� he said. “It’s only since I got to more advanced levels and started playing pieces I actually like that I’ve really enjoyed it.� Ken has studied with Curtis Howell for about six years, he said, and practises from 60 to 90 minutes every night — and admits he probably should be practising more. Ken said he learned about the competition about a week before submissions had to be received and chose the Chopin piece because he knew it and had been working on it, despite the fact it is one of Chopin’s more difficult pieces to play.

Kamloops teen Ken Massalki, 17, ranked in the top third out of 243 pianists who took part in the CBC Piano Hero classical piano competition for amateurs.

KEEPING TABS ON UPCOMING AUTO SHOWS

KEITH MORGAN

DRIVEWAY CANADA

L

e Salon International de l’Auto de Montreal heralds the opening of the Canadian auto show season, right on the heels of the big one in The Motor City, a.k.a. Detroit. This year, yours truly attended the previews for both auto extravaganzas and found optimism abounds in the industry — both north and south of the border. As recently reported from Michigan, the daddy of all auto shows showed a lot of high-end cars and new full-size trucks. Montreal has a regional flavour with more exhibits reflecting that market’s taste

for smaller cars. The latter clearly influenced the decision to unveil the new subcompact Mazda2; a select group got the opportunity to get up close and personal with the machine in an artist’s gallery across town. The next day the all-new CX-3, updated Mazda6 and CX-5 joined the show stand. The new Mazda2 was coloured in what I call show-off red and showed off its socalled KODO — Soul of Motion — design style to its best. I first saw this handsome style, which gives the impression that the vehicle is moving even when stationary, at the Mazda6 launch in Paris a few years ago. Translating it into a smaller car is not just a matter of shrinking the original but

requires great design skill and, clearly, Mazda has that in abundance. In Canada, a 1.5-litre SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine will power the Mazda2, and a choice of two transmissions will be available — a six-speed manual and six-speed automatic. Prices will be fixed closer to the launch later this year, but expect it to be comparable to the current model and come in below $15,000. While there were plenty of econo-cars on display, like at the Detroit show, there was nothing new to see in that range other than the Mazda2. Green cars were evident in Montreal but, when the shows reach the West, you can expect to see many more cars for the

eco-conscious drivers. Four concept cars did turn heads.

Cadillac Elmiraj

You won’t see one on the road but the long two-door grand coupe concept will influence the near-future design of the next line of Cadillacs. The Elmiraj features a 4.5-litre twinturbocharged V8 delivering an estimated 500 h.p. The engine takes the baseline technology from the Cadillac Twin Turbo V6 and expands it to the classic performance format of a V8 engine. See TORONTO, B7

Toronto up next in auto-show lineup Hyundai Intrado

The same can be said of the thinking behind the Hyundai Intrado, which is a concept crossover designed to foreshadow a change in design direction for the Korean manufacturer. It looks a little bit like an oversized Juke, the quirky Nissan product loved and hated seemingly in equal measure. The Intrado seems a bit more lovable and passersby indicated a similar looking production would find favour among many. The concept features a hydrogen fuelcell powertrain linked to a 36 kWh lithiumion battery pack that Hyundai boasts will provide a range of 600 kilometres. By the way, British Columbians will soon be able to lease a Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, with a similar powertrain and reported range of 425 kilometres.

Subaru VIZIV2

The Subaru concept crossover utility hybrid shown is a four-door version of a previously revealed two-door. Get this: Subaru says its “Athletic, rugged shape of the sides seem designed in the image of a muscular NHL defenceman, and the fenders flare in a sturdy style.” Ahem. Looks like it came out of the Nissan/ Infiniti design studios but that’s not a criticism.

Toyota FT1

Toyota was all about the roar of the engines in Montreal, which certainly pleased the gathered Quebec auto journalists, who to a man/ woman always appear race-crazy to me. Given the market reality in Quebec, that doesn’t appear to be reflected in buyer choices. Nevertheless, most would enjoy the sleek lines of the Toyota

FT-1, designed to be home on the track and a heck of ticket magnet

on the highway. Up next is the Toronto Show, which

takes the name The Canadian International Auto Show.

Bite your lip, Morgan. The Calgary

show follows then the new-look, reimagined Vancouver

International Auto Show debuts March 24 to March 29.
