The former director of graduate studies at Thompson Rivers University has pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography. Andrew McKay appeared in B.C. Provincial Court in Salmon Arm on Tuesday without his lawyer to change his plea to guilty. Court was told that on May 12, 2014, in Kamloops, McKay was found ANDREW in the MCKAY possession of child pornography. Crown prosecutor Bill Hilderman told the court the case is being handled by Kamloops Crown Evan Goulet and the defendant’s lawyer is Shawn Buckley. Hilderman said Crown is seeking a forensic risk-assessment report, which could delay sentencing up to six weeks.

In a surprise move, Kamloops city council has reversed its position on whether stores wishing to sell alcohol can set up shop within one kilometre of existing stores.

Ask Glenn Wideman if he’s glad the work is done and he simply laughs. After all, Wideman and other volunteers put in more than 6,500 hours during the past two years to get the heritage steam engine Kamloopsians know as the 2141 back on track. Tomorrow, the work will really feel complete as the train moves out of the workshop and starts riding the rails again. The first two trips are at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., starting at the old CN station on River Street, just behind and to the east of Interior Savings Centre. After that, the schedule through to Sept. 5 includes 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. trips on Mondays, 7 p.m. trips on Fridays and the 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. departures on Saturdays. Trips are about 90 minutes long. The train was parked early in 2013 when it

failed an inspection by Transport Canada that cost the 103-year-old engine its certification. The engine needed repairs that at one point early in the project were estimated to be about $400,000. Some determined fundraising, connections with other railroaders and all the volunteers who worked six days a week for five or six hours a day brought the cost down to about $250,000. There were plenty of other hurdles. Tubes needed for the boiler that is key to the engine were ordered in June 2014, with delivery promised within two months. They finally arrived in March of this year. Key tools vanished — when you’re working on an engine that old, the tools of today sometimes don’t work. The biggest hurdle was fundraising, but the City of Kamloops helped out the society that runs the train with some grants. The 2141 isn’t the only thing returning. Bill Miner will be back robbing the train on

Mondays and Saturdays as the popular trainrobbing scenario gets back on track. On the Monday afternoon and Friday night trips, there will be music and other entertainment. Monday afternoon is also a two-for-one ticket price. Fares include a drink and snack. Rates are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, $17 for youth, $12 for children ages four to 12 and free for infants. A family pass for two adults plus children under age 18 is $70 and a group rate, with a minimum 20 adults, is $20 each. It took longer than anyone expected, Wideman said, but he knew the train would again be chugging along. After all, those volunteers who put in the thousands of hours share a common passion for trains like the 2141 and they weren’t going to stop until it was in top shape, re-certified and ready to entertain people again. “That’s the thing about us,” Wideman said of the volunteers. “We keep going until we run out of steam.”

The trial of an Ashcroft man accused of beating his uncle to death with a shovel has been adjourned so the accused can undergo a psychiatric assessment. Shane Gyoba’s trial, which began on Aug. 10 in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops, has been marred by the accused’s frequent outbursts and incoherent mumblings from the prisoner’s box. At one point last week, the 29-year-old stood up on the bench in the prisoner’s box and introduced himself to two women seated in the courtroom gallery. Gyoba has been in custody since June 2, 2014, when the Crown alleges he beat his uncle, Ed Gyoba, to death in the front yard of his Ashcroft home. Previous witnesses have painted a tragic picture of a family torn apart. Gyoba’s aunt said her nephew came to stay with her and the deceased after Gyoba’s father died. Barb Gyoba said she was eventually run out of her own house by her “domineering” nephew. Neighbour Gil Anderson said he saw Shane Gyoba beat his uncle to death with a shovel after overhearing an argument. Anderson said he watched the beating

from his driveway across the street. On Tuesday, defence lawyer Don Campbell asked for an adjournment to allow Gyoba to undergo psychiatric testing. Campbell said there may be “mens rea issues” in Gyoba’s case — meaning there is potential he could be found not criminally responsible by way of a mental disorder. “The expectation is this will probably take some months to complete,” Campbell said. The assessment has not been court-ordered, meaning Campbell could keep the findings out of evidence if he wishes. Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan has said he will seek a courtordered not-criminallyresponsible assessment if Gyoba is found guilty. The Crown cannot seek such an assessment until an accused is found guilty. Last week, court was shown Gyoba’s videotaped interview with police following his arrest. In it, he talks extensively about tattoos and his “Samurai” ancestry. Gyoba is due back in court on Sept. 28, when Campbell is expected to provide an update on the assessment.

Judge Mayland McKimm asked McKay why his lawyer was not in the courtroom. “It has been devastating on my career, family and marriage and I’m eager to deal with it directly,” McKay said. “It also has been financially devastating. Because today’s appearance is to change my plea, frankly, to save a bit of expense, I wanted to appear on my own . . .” McKimm tried to establish that McKay understood the ramifications of changing his plea. “I absolutely understand the short- and long-term circumstances and giving up my right to trial,” McKay responded. “It’s not in any way I don’t know what I’m doing.” While the judge said a lawyer might wish to investigate different avenues of defence, McKay said for the sake of his family, he wanted to expedite the process. “I understand,” McKimm said. “I’m giving you 100 per cent credit for that.” The court decided McKay will be the subject of a pre-sentence report with a psychological and psychiatric component. The next court date is Oct. 13, when a date will be set for sentencing.

Due to thefts, city to beef up security at TCC Putnam said 144 mini-lockers will be added to the building in a high-visibility area. The lockers will be intended for valuables, including wallets, keys and mobile phones. An additional 200 full-sized lockers are also being added to the facility, again in supervised areas. The lockers will be in the main lobby, wellness centre and athlete’s performance centre. Putnam noted that 90 per cent of the lockers will be

coin-operated. “We’re finding people are bringing their personal locks and those are the ones people [thieves] are targeting, not the coin-operated locks,” Putnam said. “If I could make one recommendation, it would be to use the coin-operated lockers. “For 25 cents, it gives piece of mind.” Putnam said the entire security upgrade should be completed by November. The video cameras will come first, fol-

lowed by the lockers. The city is still considering the use of a security guard to monitor its lockers. “It’s definitely an option,” Putnam said. “What we thought we would do first is

“We serve your friends, your family, your neighbours.”

Biosolids operation may be moved the fate of an illegal sawdust pile that was stored on a cliff above residents’ homes, which both Arrow and the head of city bylaw services believe was responsible for most of the Gateway complaints. Coun. Ken Christian had some strong words for the company, arguing the move calls Arrow’s whole operational practice into question. “What possibly would be the decision process to put a mountain of sawdust on a silt bluff on the edge of the South Thompson River?” he asked. Bell told council

ficult to come up with a way to analyze the dust against the soil Arrow produces because it’s virtually identical to native Kamloops soil. “You’re going to get numbers back and it’s still not really going to prove anything,” she said. Council plans to write to the B.C. Farm Practices Board for advice on how to deal with the situation. Following the meeting, Gateway resident Del Corsi repeated a call for Arrow to move its operations. “That’s such a simple solution to make us happy,” he said.

the sawdust pile, now removed, was “a mistake” and the company hopes to repair its relationship with residents. “Operationally, it’s not involved with the decisions we make on the biosolids whatsoever,” he said. Bell said the company believes it is improving the dust situation for residents because its soils are being used to reclaim disturbed soils, which were prone to erosion. Agrologist Holly Suggitt told council the company is also exploring ways to test the dust in Gateway residents’ homes, but is finding it dif-

Bell said he doesn’t believe that’s the case because the mixing site is already “a ways back” from homes and much of the mixing process is contained. But, he added, moving some of the work may be the best course of action. “We’re confident there’s zero dust leaving, but we understand it would make them more comfortable if we move some of that inventory away from the site where we’re mixing,” he said. Arrow appeared before Kamloops city council on Tuesday to explain what’s been taking place on the site — in particular,

Dallas residents who want to see a soil-mixing facility that uses biosolids moved farther from their homes may have their wish granted. Tim Bell, vicepresident of Arrow Transportation, told KTW he is looking at moving much of the company’s topsoilmixing operation to another part of the Blackwell farm, farther from the Gateway Estates mobile home park below. Bell said the company plans to sit down with residents later this week to discuss the plan. Arrow makes two varieties of biosolidsenhanced soil on the farm: a topsoil mixture using Class A biosolids and a subsoil mixture using Class B. Both mixtures use less than 10 per cent biosolids. The company is proposing to move much of the topsoil to other areas of the farm, where it is being used, but wants to keep subsoil operations where they are because they are being used to reclaim a landfill and gravel pit in the same area. Gateway residents claim dust from Arrow’s operations is blowing onto their homes and making them sick.

LOCAL NEWS As mom Adrienne Brown explains, daughter Isabelle has the “worst of the best kind” of epidermolysis bullosa, an illness that causes painful blistering due to fragile skin. “One of the hardest parts is that I have to cause her pain every day for her own good,” Adrienne said. JESSICA WALLACE/KTW

HANDLING IZZY WITH CARE JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

drienne Brown sleeps with her infant daughter, Izzy, in the living room of their North Kamloops apartment. It’s the only way she can hear Izzy crying through the night, a faint sound coming from a tender throat coated in blisters and sores. “She’s susceptible to getting them anywhere on her body,” Adrienne said. “It’s just constant.” “There’s never a time when she doesn’t have blisters.” Four-month-old Isabelle “Izzy” Porter, has a rare and incurable disease that causes her skin to break out in blisters from the slightest of touches to the usually unnoticeable frictions of everyday life — such as the subtle brush of a bed sheet or blanket. The genetic disease, epidermolysis bullosa, is more commonly known as EB. Younger patients are often referred to as “butterfly children,” as their skin is as fragile as butterfly wings. The disease has various severities and Adrienne counts her family lucky, since Izzy has epidermolysis bullosa simplex. “She has the worst of the best kind, if that makes sense,” Adrienne said. The family’s apartment is what you might expect of a young family — toys scattered throughout, impromptu diaper-changing stations here and there and blankets on the floor. Adrienne, 24, and her 22-year-old boyfriend, Garry Porter, had no choice but to put their daughter’s crib in the family’s living room. They couldn’t have predicted the bedroom they had ready for their first child would instead be used for storing

medical supplies. EB largely affects Izzy’s hands and feet but, when KTW visited, she also had small scabs on her face and head. It all has Adrienne questioning Izzy’s future — how will she ever walk? — and remaining vigilant in preventing potentially deadly infections. Izzy’s affliction, EB simplex, affects about one in 50,000 people and doctors at Royal Inland Hospital were initially stumped when she was born on April 22 without skin on her feet and ankles. Within 24 hours, she started developing blisters in her mouth and on her face and, after spending about four days in RIH’s neonatal intensive-care unit, Adrienne and Izzy were transported via air ambulance to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. “Her condition just kept getting worse and worse,” Adrienne said. “Our biggest fear was that we were never going to take her home. We thought she was going to die.” Adrienne stayed at Ronald McDonald House and Garry visited on weekends between working shifts at an absorbent product plant in Kamloops. When Izzy was diagnosed with EB, Adrienne and Garry were connected to others with the disease and began learning how to care for their daughter. On June 6, Izzy was discharged and, now, back in Kamloops, Adrienne remains on maternity leave from her job as a careaide while dad goes to work. There are harsh realities for Izzy as she lives with EB and for her parents as they care for her. High-level prescription drugs are regularly administered to Izzy, who would otherwise feel the pain of raw flesh and scab-

bing beneath her little white protective booties. Items such as bleach are required for the seemingly simplest of parental duties, like bathing Izzy with help from specialized paediatric nurses during regular, thrice-weekly visits. “One of the hardest parts is that I have to cause her pain every day for her own good,” Adrienne said, referring to the need to pop blisters “all day long.” Izzy also loses her hair and nails from blisters and has irritated her own wounds on several occasions by scratching them. She requires medical diapers and a high-calorie formula because she’s always healing. Adrienne said her daughter hasn’t spent much time outside, apart from regular trips to B.C. Children’s Hospital, because the Kamloops heat prompts breakouts. Mom said she will try again in the fall, when the weather cools down. While she knows Izzy is really just her little girl, Adrienne has thought about the day she will send her to school. “Kids can be mean,” Adrienne said. She hopes to raise awareness and one day take Izzy to a patient-care conference in Toronto or the United States, where her daughter can meet kids who are 1 in 50,000 like her — and others with rarer forms of the disease. “When you have something that makes you different, it can feel really isolating,” Adrienne said. “As she grows up, her friends won’t have it. No one has it, no one really understands it.” Adrienne is not shy about sharing Izzy’s story with the world and she’s not worried about curious onlookers when she finally brings her daughter outside in cooler weather. “I’m sure some people will have opinions about it,” she said. “She has to deal with it every day.”

Shopping anything but simple For Adrienne Brown (right, with Izzy), dropping $1,000 on blankets isn’t all that surprising. To protect her daughter’s highly delicate skin, Adrienne buys sheets, clothing, blankets and more made from specialty products like sheep skin or bamboo — and it’s not cheap. “I can’t just go to Walmart,” she said. It’s why her cousin started an online campaign to help cover some of the costs. From day-to-day items to saving for a patient-care conference, the Go Fund Me account has raised $3,695 by 58 donators as of yesterday. “Some wound-care supplies we can’t get in Canada,” Adrienne said, noting the family is always looking for ways to improve. “It’s nice for us to be able to order them.” The fundraising campaign will also help pay for future trips to Vancouver, where Izzy has ongoing appointments at B.C. Children’s Hospital. To help Izzy, go online to gofundme.com/isabellesky.

MEMBERS SURPRISE SALE WHAT IS EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA?

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is an illness that causes the skin to be fragile. Kids afflicted are often called Butterfly Children as their skin is as fragile as the wings of a butterfly. It can be easily injured, causing painful blisters to form. These blisters can cause serious problems if they become infected. Some people with EB have a mild form of the disease with few blisters. For others, there may be many blisters on the skin. Some people develop blisters inside the body — in places such as the mouth, stomach, esophagus, bladder and elsewhere.

WHO GETS EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA?

Anyone can have EB. Generally, the symptoms first appear in babies or toddlers.

WHAT CAUSES EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA?

Most cases of EB are hereditary (runs in families).

HOW IS EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA DIAGNOSED?

A doctor can identify EB by taking a small sample of skin and looking at it under a microscope.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA?

Skin blisters are the major symptom of EB. — National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases

THERE’S NO THIRST FOR BOOZE BYLAW

n a span of less than three weeks, veteran Kamloops Coun. Pat Wallace did a complete 180-degree turn on her opinion concerning liquor sales in the city. Much to the surprise of everybody, Wallace put forward a motion to reconsider a late July vote by council on Coun. Marg Spina’s bid to bar new liquor stores from opening within a kilometre of existing shops. It seems that between a long public hearing in July and this past Tuesday’s council meeting, Wallace had a revelation of sorts, prompting a second vote that has led to a ban on new liquor sales within a kilometre of existing liquor stores. In essence, Wallace’s one vote (which was all that was needed to reverse the tie vote of July) has resulted in a complete ban of new liquor sales in Kamloops. That one person with one vote on one issue can create such monumental impact is unnerving. But, that is municipal politics at work. The problem with Wallace’s enlightenment on the Road to Prohibition — and with Spina’s original motion — is that the rationale behind both are faulty. Spina’s motion came from a concern about an overabundance of alcohol in Kamloops. A few shelves of B.C.-only wine in a grocery store will do nothing to add to problem drinking in the city. Wallace’s reason for changing her vote is the fact grocery stores will not be subject to the same public-consultation process the city requires of new liquor stores. But, Wallace is comparing apples and oranges. We are talking about grocery stores adding a shelf to stock B.C.-only wine; we are not talking about a full liquor store selling everything from beer and wine to vodka, whisky and absinthe. The about-face by council is head-shakingly disturbing — and it is not surprising that the decision has been met with an online avalanche of criticism from Kamloops residents.

Nanny state grips city hall

t’s one of those weeks in which there are little things that aren’t big enough to be a column on their own, but are annoying enough that they need some airing. • OK, maybe I’m just a bit slow, but why do we need to do public consultation on something the provincial government has already said is OK? What is there to consult about? When council first voted against Marg Spina’s motion to impose a one-kilometre restriction on where alcohol can be sold, it made sense. Representatives of smaller wineries had argued the location limit would hurt their businesses, an argument that apparently was persuasive at the time. At that session, Pat Wallace — who moved the reconsideration that saw council change its mind this week — said it wasn’t the city’s job to protect one business over another. She was right then and she’s wrong now. It’s more of this nanny mentality that seems to have taken over city council. Seems to me we’re all capable of making up our minds if we want to buy wine at the grocery stores — which will not be allowed now — or if we want to walk on by. • While we’re talking about council, I’m wondering just who Arjun Singh thinks should be consulted about how the city will deal with the never-

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL ending Ajax issue. At this week’s council meeting, Singh asked if city staff have talked to the pro and con sides about what they think of the Ajax review the city will be undertaking. The con side is easy to find because there is an organized group out there protesting the mine. But, who does Singh think represents the pro-mine side? His rationale is he wants the process to have legitimacy with everyone. Isn’t it council’s job to ensure its review is legitimate? • Apparently, Riverside Park has too many amenities and events, according to a couple of other councillors. Denis Walsh misses the green grass that is now a community garden and isn’t sure pickleball courts should be added because, well, you know, there goes the green grass. Walsh told his fellow councillors he doesn’t think it’s their job to bring more people to the park, but to maintain it.

One might think it is being maintained to be a gathering place for people. Then again, maybe it’s just supposed to be there and be green. Dieter Dudy joined in this discussion to say there might be too many events at the park hurting downtown businesses. Maybe we need to change our zoning to not allow businesses to set up within a kilometre of the park. • Enough of city council. On to the federal election and that amazing secret weapon that is slowly eroding away the Conservatives’ campaign — Nigel Wright. I so wish I could ask him one question: What is a good misrepresentation? After all, Stephen Harper’s former chief of staff, a man so flush with cash it wasn’t a big deal to cut a cheque for the $90,000 embarrassment of Mike Duffy, said letting Canadians think the senator had actually paid off his own debt wasn’t “a bad misrepresentation.” Sure, it wasn’t transparent — or even honest — but, hey, Wright was acting with integrity, he said, to help out the former star senator. Some pundits have suggested this will all blow over before the Oct. 19 election. Here’s hoping they’re wrong.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTEMPT FOR VOTERS Editor: While reading the Aug. 14 edition of KTW, I found the comments by incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod pertaining to violations of the Elections Act amusing. After all, members of her very own “Harper Conservative Party” were found guilty in court for violating the Elections Act in the last election. McLeod should be preaching to her own party members — or should we expect to receive more of the same this time around? On another note, I received McLeod’s House to House propaganda sheet on Aug. 6, a full four days after the election was called. I hope the Conservative party paid the costs of this. I would suggest to McLeod that the person responsible for the changes to her campaign signs was probably one of the 70 per cent of the population who is tired of the contempt her party has shown toward taxpayers of this country since the day they were first elected. Terry Hamilton Kamloops

CANADIANS NEED TO GROW UP

Editor: It should come as no surprise to anyone that the cost of filling up a vehicle is very costly and will remain so for many years to come. I suggest we stop complaining until we are prepared to grow up and accept our responsibilities. Canadians get upset when there is even a mention of building a refinery,

a pipeline, a mine or anything else that will provide well-paying jobs and taxes for federal, provincial and municipal coffers. It is well past time we start to face reality. As long as we are prepared to export raw materials for other countries to process and reap the benefits of well-paid jobs and related taxes,

we will continue to pay exorbitant prices for these finished products with virtually no say with regard to price. Our American neighbours are laughing themselves silly while going to their banks with pockets bulging with cash they collect from us. E.A. Stratichuk Kamloops

IT’S THE PERFORMERS, NOT THE FACILITY Editor: Understandably, the arts community is enthusiastic about the prospect of a major-league performing-arts centre for Kamloops. But, they miss a salient point: You can’t buy world-class entertainment by building a $100-million venue (a fair estimate given the city’s record of capital spending). In other words, while it would be possible to replicate BC Place Stadium in Kamloops, it is unlikely

OF ROAD WOES IN THE CITY

the junior football Broncos would fill the place. A better analogy might be that, although for that amount we could provide Stradivarius violins, violas and cellos to the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, the music would only improve marginally. However, were we able to bring in musicians from the New York Philharmonic to fill those chairs, even using KSO instruments, the music would improve dramatically. Arguing that amateur

actors and musicians need a top-of-the-line venue is naive. If there are any amateurs in the city capable of singing for La Scala, dancing for The Canadian National, doing stand-up on HBO or starring on Broadway, they will rise to that level, regardless of where they begin their careers. I can recall taking the Toronto subway to a non-descript church basement to listen to some Canadian Opera hopefuls perform to the accompani-

ment of a stand-up piano. One of the hopefuls was Ben Heppner. Not convinced? I defy KSO to ask KTW columnist and arts-centre booster Dale Bass to drive the perimeter road on McArthur Island and write a column without condemning the disastrous roller-coaster on the river side. If council can’t fix our potholes, I can’t imagine it turning a white elephant into a commercial success. Don Cornborough Kamloops

Editor: I must apologize to the city. I had accused the city of ignoring the roads in Barnhartvale, but work is ongoing. Pine Grove Road has been rebuilt and repairs are being made to Barnhartvale and Todd roads. It is better than nothing. Don Porter Kamloops

kilometre of existing stores without having to go back to the public. Before its original vote in late July, council heard several hours of debate on the restrictions, which Woodward said now seems to have been meaningless. “We thought we had a public process,” she said. “It was a fair process, we thought, and it seems this public process has been hijacked. We have to ask and wonder, how did this happen?” Local wineries have argued wine sales in grocery stores, which are seen as the main target of the new bylaw, are essential to growing their businesses and, in some cases, staying afloat financially. Woodward said a Surrey supermarket, which was the first in the province to offer wine on its shelves, has already ordered more from Privato in 2015 than all of Kamloops’ private liquor stores combined.

Woodward and other local wineries are due to head to the Surrey store this month for an event meant to highlight the city’s wines. “They’re 100 per cent behind us in other communities, they’re behind Kamloops in other communities, and we can’t even get that in our own backyard,” she said. Vicki Collett, coowner of Harper’s Trail Winery, was succinct in her thoughts on council’s new vote. “Doesn’t come as a surprise at all,” Collett wrote on KTW’s Facebook page when the story of council’s

decision was posted. Discover Wines owner Tracy Gray, however, doesn’t think council’s decision means the end of wine on store shelves, since businesses can still ask the city for an exemption from the rules. Gray was among a number of private liquor and wine store owners who supported the distance restrictions, arguing grocery stores were being given unfair advantages in their licensing program, such as access to wines that private wine-only stores can’t stock. “The new licences that the government

has created don’t have the same restrictions as other licences, so this just allows the city to continue with the same process that’s been involved for most licences already,” she said. “I think it’s a good thing because this way the public has some consultation and industry does and neighbours do.” Gray said she hasn’t spoken to anyone on council since elected representatives first shot down the proposed bylaw following the July public hearing, nor was she expecting the about-face. While Gray predicts Kamloops will still see some sort of alcohol sold by a grocery chain, Woodward is less optimistic. “I’m not very confident,” she said. “I’m not really confident at all in what’s going on in council chambers, honestly.”

On Tuesday, however, Wallace asked to bring the issue back for a vote, saying she is concerned stores wishing to sell wine won’t be required to go through the public-consultation process the city requires of new liquor stores. “With the defeat of the motion [Spina’s July motion], we just cut out the public consultation and, in a sense, we have cut out a process we have supported for many years,” Wallace said. With Wallace changing her

vote, council decided to bar the added sale of liquor in stores located within a kilometre of existing liquor stores. Voting in favour of the motion were Wallace, Spina, Cavers, Lange and Walsh. Voting against were Dudy, Christian and Singh. Milobar was not at council on Tuesday. CAO David Trawin said grocery stores who want to bring wines to their shelves will still have the option to ask council for a development variance permit, a process that allows for public input.

At the July public hearing that initially killed Spina’s motion, council’s vote came after more than three hours of public submissions, with the subject matter pitting local winery owners and B.C. wine lobbyists against owners of private liquor and wine stores. When Wallace voted against the motion in July, she said while zoning is within the city’s mandate, she did not feel protecting one business over another was council’s role. “We don’t protect restaurants from moving in beside each other,” she said.

Council finalizes meeting schedule on Ajax ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A four-hour town-hall meeting is only the start of a City of Kamloops public-consultation plan for the proposed Ajax mine. At a special workshop on Tuesday, city council voted to hold at least five meetings — some open houses, some special meetings of council — to help it review KGHM Ajax’s environmental application, due to be submitted to the province at the end of the summer. The city plans to hire SLR Consulting to review the various studies and reports that will predict how the copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen would affect the environment and the citizens of Kamloops. Earlier this summer, council agreed to ask KGHM Ajax to pay some or all of the estimated $300,000 cost of the review. The Kamloops Area Preservation Association (KAPA), which oppos-

KGHM AJAX EXPECTED TO SUBMIT MINE APPLICATION AT END OF SEPTEMBER es Ajax, was also asked to chip in. KGHM Ajax has said it will contribute; KAPA will not. On Tuesday, council turned its attention to how to share the consultant’s findings — many of which will not be ready until the end of the 180-day environmental-assessment period — with the public. Streets and environmental services manager Glen Farrow said the city plans to begin collecting public feedback to guide SLR before the 180-day period begins, by holding a special town-hall meeting soon after KGHM Ajax submits its application to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) for the first time. The EAO has 30 days to review the application and may send it back to the company if it deems it incomplete, a fairly common practice during assessments of this type.

This is about “collecting questions from citizens of Kamloops as to how they think this process may affect themselves and the city.

”

— COUN. KEN CHRISTIAN

Farrow said the meeting would come 15 to 20 days after KGHM Ajax submits its documents and would focus on what questions the public thinks SLR should investigate on the city’s behalf. “They might have an idea to tweak a question or something that might have been missed,” Farrow said.

TNRD seeks to weed out weeds ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Weed-control officers may be coming to properties around the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD). The TNRD board of directors is expected to vote today on a proposed bylaw that would allow officers to inspect district properties for invasive plants on a complaint-driven basis. Officers would have the authority to issue written notices to landowners requiring the plants be dealt with within 21 days, after which the regional district would enter the property to control the plants at the expense of the landowner.

Should residents prevent the district, its employes, agents or contractors from entering the premises, fines may be issued. According to a report introducing the bylaw to the board, both the TNRD’s invasive plant committee and its electoral area directors recommended staff investigate the implementation of an invasive plant control bylaw. “At issue has been the reluctance or refusal of some property owners to control invasive plants on their property, in contravention of the Weed Control Act,” the report reads. “The proposed bylaw is intended to be used as a last resort option to control invasive plants on property of private

landowners unwilling to address the problem.” Forty plants are included on the TNRD’s list of invasive species, including a variety of knapweeds, thistles and knotweeds. Earlier this summer, the TNRD discussed plans to ask the Southern Interior Weed Management Committee — its partner in invasive plant management — to devote more focus to weed control on primary and secondary highways throughout the district. At the time, Area J director (Copper Desert Country) Ronaye Elliot said weeds were being picked up by vehicles travelling the highways and deposited on private lands, where they wreaked havoc on large properties.

Staff had proposed a two-hour public-hearing-style event, but council opted to broaden the scope to four hours in case of a major turnout. “I think because of the massiveness of this issue in our community, this meeting should give everyone enough time,” Coun. Denis Walsh said. Following the town-hall meeting, the city would hold another meeting about 60 days into the formal review to share SLR’s early findings with the public and give residents the opportunity to ask questions. That’s just inside the 75 days the province is allowing for the general public to comment on the application. Council will meet again after that public meeting to ask more questions of the consultant in a workshop session — and again a few days later to draft a prelimi-

nary response to the data. That will be the first time council as a whole has taken an official position on the Ajax mine. A final report from SLR would come about 135 days into the province’s review, at which point council would meet to finalize a stance on the mine — and conditions it wants KGHM Ajax to meet for the project to proceed — to submit to the EAO. Coun. Ken Christian said he likes the plan, but warned the city has to be careful to stick to issues that affect it and not try to assume provincial responsibility by taking on concerns outside of its boundaries, such as the fate of Jacko Lake, located on the mine site outside City of Kamloops boundaries. “This is about collecting questions from citizens of Kamloops as to how they think this process may affect themselves and the city,” Christian said.

could drive that message home and, in turn, lead to more public demands for bike lanes, alternative transportation and green technology. The labels cost about $14 per pump and would be funded by the city or through business licensing fees, Hulse said. Coun. Donovan Cavers praised the idea as raising awareness. “I see this as a significant reminder to people who are at the gas pump,” he said. “I don’t know that it will be effective enough

ately go and start riding their bike to work every second day, but I think it’s a good reminder.” Other councillors said they didn’t think a gaspump warning label was a good fit for a vehicledependent community like Kamloops. Coun. Arjun Singh said the city needs to focus on providing positive solutions to climate issues, rather than negative reminders. “I don’t think in a town like Kamloops, realistically, most people will stop driving,” he

potential for electric vehicles.” Coun. Ken Christian doesn’t buy a comparison between gas pumps and cigarette packages — which inspired Our Horizon’s campaign — calling smoking a matter of “individual risk with individual consequences” and climate change a global issue. “I think we’re getting message fatigue with these kind of things,” he said. “I know when I pull into a gas station, the first thing I worry about is the price.”

Mayor Peter Milobar was absent. Our Horizon isn’t yet finished in the region. Hulse is speaking to the Thompson-Nicola Regional District board of directors today, asking the various municipalities involved to consider the labels. The organization is also looking for a letter of support, in advance of the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention next month, where a resolution calling for warning labels across the province is up for debate.

THE CAT

IN THE ACT

ANDREA KLASSEN

hat do you get when you combine a cat in a hat, a sour kangaroo and an elephant that keeps hearing a mysterious who? At Stage One Theatre School, the makings of a summer musical. A dozen students between the ages of 11 and

18 are bringing Seussical JR. to the Thompson Rivers University’s Actor’s Workshop Theatre this weekend. Since the start of August, the young cast has been dancing and singing for six-plus hours, Monday through Friday, as they learn the whopping 34 songs — plus lines and dance moves — that make up the musical. “Generally we start with the music,” said director Melissa Thomas. “The kids learn the music first, then they get

shot over to choreography to learn their dance steps and then they come to me to put all the pieces together.” Anna Harestad, 16, who plays the Cat in the Hat, describes the process as both fun and stressful. “I practise a lot at home,” she said, “and I have my sister to practise with, too, so that makes it really fun and easy.” Jane, Anna’s twin, who plays the Sour Kangaroo, said her favourite part of the process has been developing her villainous char-

acter, who she describes as sassy, loud and a bit mean. “It is really fun to play,” she said. “I get to project my voice a lot and do a whole bunch of jazzy parts and, since I’m a kangaroo, I get to bounce a lot, so that’s really fun.” While Jane and Anna are both Stage One veterans who also do community theatre, some of the students are new to musical theatre, or acting at all. “They have been learning a tremendous amount of stuff in a short time,” Thomas said. “It’s a lot, and

they’re doing awesome.” While Dr. Seuss may be best remembered for his strange words and infectious rhymes, Thomas said there are plenty of lessons to be mined from his works — and many of those have made the jump to the musical. “It talks about acceptance and using your imagination and being kind to one another,” she said. “We talked about it with the kids — even though Dr. Seuss is usually associated with small children, he’s got some really

profound themes in his work and the musical is no exception.” Seussical JR. runs on Friday at 7 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee and 7 p.m. showing on Saturday. Admission is by donation, with all proceeds going to Stage One’s bursary program. Thomas encourages families looking to beat the heat or find a new activity to do with the kids to take in the shows. “It’s so wonderful to have kids come and watch kids,” she said.

R&B festival organizer:‘The forumula works’ DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Calling the past 18 months difficult, Peter North is feeling positive about the future of the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. The artistic director, who took over the job early last year, said the pop element is gone and the annual event is back to bringing roots, blues and world music to the Interior. “The formula works,” North said. “You bring really, really talented people, really, really nice people together and it works. We had people who have met before bonding, wanting to play music together. We had John Oates popping up everywhere, sitting in on workshops. “At the end of the day, the musicians were all in. They wanted to play and play more and play with whoever.” The three-day festival had a wet start with the rain on Friday that affected walk-up sales, but attendance rebounded on Saturday. North said the lineup was strong throughout the day, noting headliner Marty Stuart and the

Fabulous Superlatives “sold a lot of tickets for us.” North said Oates — who arrived before the

gates opened Friday afternoon and stayed through to Monday morning — “would come back any time.”

A common thread in conversations with Stuart, Oates and Cyril Neville of the Royal Southern Brotherhood was how different the Salmon Arm festival is from others they play at in the U.S. “U.S. festivals are big corporate events, they told me, and

they’re all about branding and keeping things segregated and separate,” North said. “John said, ‘It seems to me everyone here is all about listening to the music.’ And then he smiled and said ‘Wow, what a concept’.” Oates not only spent the weekend listening to other performers, he took in the evening screening of Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation, stopping in the Salmon Arm theatre lobby to sign autographs. Stuart spent some time in the merchandise tent buying other artists’ CDs. “They would have given them to him but he was in buying them,” North said. He said police were required once, when an inebriated man “apparently decided to lie down and take a nap or something on the sidewalk over by the campground.” North said one concern he had with the event was the uneven quality of sound, something musicians also said was an issue. That’s at the top of the list of issues to resolve for next year. The festival experienced some financial woes last year with lower-than-expected ticket sales, rising costs

and little financial reserve. While there is still rebuilding to be done, North said early reports are this year’s festival did well on the money side. “We reached our goals,” North said. “The festival is safe.

“It’s not going away. We’ve turned a big corner. It’s been a tough 18 months, but the last six weeks, I started to realize that light at the end of the tunnel isn’t a train coming at you. “It’s actually sunshine.”

Ultimate players work up Big Thirst ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

hen Amira Maddison first threw a disc in a Vancouver high school ultimate league, the Olympics weren’t even a consideration. Now, 22 years old and with the sort of resume that puts her in the Team Canada conversation, the Olympic Games are certainly on the radar. “It depends on whether I keep playing ultimate for the rest of my life,” Maddison told KTW. “But, should ultimate become an Olympic sport, of course, it would be any athlete’s dream to play in the Olympics.” Maddison started playing ultimate in Grade 8, at the behest of a few of her teachers. Before long, she was one of the bigger and faster girls on the field and doors started to open. In her first few years at the elite level (2010 and 2011), she won gold medals at national championships with B.C.’s under-19 junior team. After trying out for Canada’s junior club, she went on to win a silver medal at the 2010 world championship and a bronze medal in 2012. Now, playing for Canada’s under-23 team, Maddison helped the club capture bronze medals at world championships in 2013 and at the 2015 world championship in London, England, this past summer. “It was a pretty amazing experience, to be so young and competing with your colleagues across the world,” Maddison said, reflecting on her five-year career. “It’s a pretty amazing experience.”

Thompson Rivers University student Amira Maddison plays ultimate for Team Canada. She will be in action at Big Thirst.

KTW FILE PHOTO

Players from Nelson Homegrown (left) and the Vancouver Banana Cutters were in action at last year’s Kamloops Ultimate League Big Thirst tournament. The event is returning to McArthur Island on Saturday and Sunday.

A Vancouver native, Maddison moved to the Tournament Capital last year to study outdoor education at TRU and has since become a dominant player in the Kamloops Ultimate League (KUL). A regular at KUL’s Big Thirst ultimate tournament, Maddison hopes to be playing for Parched — a Kamloops-based team that will compete in the B division — at this year’s event. The club is one of two Kamloops teams in Big Thirst, which KUL president Mark Moran called a premier ultimate tournament for B.C. and the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Masters of Disc

Skies, the other team from the Tournament Capital, will play in the Spirit (C) division. The A division features the tournament’s elite teams, some of which have played as a group on the provincial stage and nationally for Team Canada. The 13th annual incarnation of Big Thirst includes 25 teams. It takes place on Saturday and Sunday on McArthur Island. “We’re trying to find out if this is a record year for us,” Moran said. In 2014, the tournament featured 18 clubs. “It’s going to be close, if it isn’t one.”

With the International Olympic Committee (IOC) having recently announced its recognition of the World Flying Disc Federation, a solid turnout at Big Thirst couldn’t come at a better time. Recognition means ultimate is now eligible for IOC funding and can compete for inclusion in future Olympic games. Though Moran, who also holds roles with the B.C. Ultimate Society and Ultimate Canada, predicted the sport’s inclusion could be more than 10 years away, it’s an exciting time nonetheless. Moran said ultimate is no longer seen as a game for “a bunch

of hippies playing barefoot. “That’s the biggest change I’m seeing — people are more aware of it. It has more legitimacy. More people are playing it,” he said. “It almost feels like the way soccer did 20 years ago. Then, not too many people played it — some did, some knew about it, but there were other sports that distracted people, playing baseball and those kinds of things. Now, every field has soccer going, all the kids are playing on teams. That kind of feels like what ultimate is now.” When Maddison was competing at the World Championships in London, the IOC was on hand to observe. It was neat for her to see the sport get the recognition it deserves. “I think it’s just the next step for one of the fastest-growing sports in the world right now,” she said. It’s a sport without which Maddison feels she would be a very different person. “It has been a huge amount of personal growth, both as an athlete and a human being,” Maddison said. “I think playing ultimate has made me into the person I am and hope to be for the rest of my life.”

The duo also won a bronze medal in the C15 War Canoe. Morgan finished the week with six medals, while Demishkevich grabbed four. In the pool, Colin Gilbert led the way with seven podium finishes. He captured gold medals in the 200m butterfly, 200m freestyle, 400m freestyle and 1,500m freestyle and silver medals in the 400m individual medley (IM), 4x50m freestyle relay and 4x100m medley relay.

Ethan Phillips won silver in the 800m freestyle, silver in the 100m backstroke and placed third in the five-kilometre open water race. On dry land, Geoffrey Hanks of the Aberdeen Judo Academy (AJA) won a pair of gold medals, finishing first in both the under-73 kilogram and team events. Morgan Endean of the AJA placed fourth in her division in judo and won gold in the team competition. On the volleyball court, Kamloops-based manager Spencer Reed and coach Ashley Shannik led their team to gold in indoor volleyball. Alexzandra Smith Van Dyke also represented Kamloops at the Games in athletics.

Correction

In the Aug. 14 edition of KTW, an error was made in a preview of the 2015-2016 Thompson Blazers season. The story (Thompson nearing final roster decisions) stated the Blazers had never posted a winning record in the B.C. Major Midget League. According to B.C. Hockey, the Thompson Blazers were, in fact, a winning club in the 2005-2006 season — the club went 21-6-9. Thompson also posted a winning record in 2004-2005, en route to being named the BCMML champions.

“They are who we thought they were — and we let ‘em off the hook!” Those fiery, impassioned words from former Arizona Cardinals head coach Dennis Green after a loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 6 of the 2006 NFL season often appear in Top 10 press-conference tirade segments. Arizona held a 20-0 lead at halftime, but went on to lose 24-23 and Green — who would be fired when the Cardinals finished 5-11 that season — lashed out at reporters after the game. “If you wanna crown them, then crown their ass!” Green rumbled on. The Kamloops Broncos can feel Green’s pain after their Week 4 loss to the Vancouver Island Raiders in Nanaimo last Saturday. Holding a 20-7 halftime lead over a team they have never beaten in nine seasons of B.C. Football Conference play, the Broncos (2-2) crumbled in the second half and fell 35-26 to the Raiders (3-1). “It was extremely disappointing,” said Derek Yachison, a fifth-year Bronco. “They aren’t nearly what they used to be in the past. That’s another reason I was so frustrated last week. It was right there for the taking.” They let them off the hook. For Yachison and the rest of the Broncos who run out of BCFC eligibility at the end of the 2015 season, the last chance to beat the Raiders — barring a meeting in the post-season — will come on Saturday. Game time is 7 p.m. at Hillside Stadium. Along with it being a revenge game, the tilt’s importance is magnified because the Broncos need to win on Saturday to keep alive hopes of hosting their firstever home playoff game. They will need to beat the Raiders by more than nine points this weekend and top the hometown Langley Rams (2-2) by more than eight points on Sept. 12 to secure tiebreakers against those teams — the squads most likely to finish second behind the powerhouse

Defensive back Jonaus Levac and the Kamloops Broncos have an all-important date with the Vancouver Island Raiders of Nanaimo on Saturday at Hillside Stadium. Game time is 7 p.m.

Okanagan Sun (4-0), and earn a home playoff date. Kamloops blew a 14-10 halftime lead over Langley at Hillside on Aug. 2. “That’s twice now that scenario has happened, where we’ve came out flat in the third quarter,” Yachison said. “I think the third time is going to be the charm. “This game is extremely important. A home playoff game is still very realistic.” Vancouver Island made defensive adjustments to silence the potent Kamloops offence in the second half and Broncos’ quarterback Stephen Schuweiler still managed to set a BCFC record by completing 35 passes. Yachison snagged two firsthalf touchdown tosses and fellow standout pass-catcher Devin Csincsa led the Broncos with 12 grabs — a Kamloops record — for 136 yards receiving. The Raiders switched to man coverage from zone coverage in the second half and gave their

secondary help by using a linebacker to shadow Yachison and Csincsa. Turnovers hurt Kamloops and none were more costly than a fourth-quarter interception that saw Raiders’ defensive back Cole Virtanen rumble 95 yards for a touchdown. “We had them on the ropes, we went for the knockout punch and we missed,” said Broncos’ head coach Brad Yamaoka, who came down hard on his team this week at practice. “They haven’t been in situations like that before. We need to figure out how to close out teams.” Kamloops’ brain trust has two more days to figure out what went wrong. Letting Vancouver Island off the hook again will have postseason ramifications. “It’s probably the biggest game in our franchise’s history,” Yamaoka said. “It will determine a couple things for us and show us as coaches what our guys are made of.”

MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes wanted to leave the negativity behind when they flew to Vancouver to face the B.C. Lions tonight. That includes their 2-5 record, a threegame losing streak, criticism of offensive coordinator Turk Schonert over play calling, the departure of celebrity rush end Michael Sam to deal with mental issues and the benching of popular defensive

end John Bowman. “About negativity, we actually talked about it,’’ coach Tom Higgins said. “You have the opportunity to read or listen to it and allow it to affect you or not affect you.” Pulling out a victory at BC Place Stadium, where the Alouettes face the Lions at 7 p.m., would be a rare feat.

Montreal has one victory since 2000 in Vancouver, and that was in 2010 when the Lions played at Empire Field because B.C. Place was being renovated. The Als are 0-13 in that span in the Lions’ regular home. The Lions will be testy coming off a 55-22 blowout loss in Hamilton in which linebacker Solomon Elimimian, last season’s CFL outstanding player and outstanding defensive player, injured an Achilles tendon and was put on the six-

game injured list. If the Alouettes need a spark, it may come from kick returner Stefan Logan, who was released by the Lions and signed as a free agent with Montreal this season. The 34-year-old ranks third in the league with 880 combined yards. “It’s always a great feeling going back to the team that released you, so I want to go out and do everything I can to get this win for the Montreal Alouettes,’’ Logan said.

LEMIEUX HAS ‘PUNCHER’S CHANCE’ AGAINST GOLOVKIN BILL BEACON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Middleweight boxing star Gennady Golovkin admits he’s a little nervous about facing Canada’s David Lemieux. Both are devastating power punchers and their bout on Oct. 17 at Madison Square Garden in New York isn’t expected to last long before one knocks the other out cold. While most believe Golovkin will be the one left standing, boxing has sayings about big hitters always having a “puncher’s chance’’ to win. “David is a great champion, he’s a very dangerous guy,’’ Golovkin said yesterday. “Everybody has

a chance. I think it’s a very hard fight for us.’’ The 26-year-old Lemieux (34-2, 31 knockouts), a southpaw who tends to put defence aside to launch frenzied attacks, won the vacant International Boxing Federation title on June 20 with a unanimous decision over Hassan N’Dam at the Bell Centre. The Montreal native passed up milking the title with a couple of easy defences to accept a title unification bout with Glovokin, the mauler from Kazakhstan considered by The Ring magazine as the world’s best middleweight and the fourth-best pound for pound in any weight class. Golovkin (33-0,

30 knockouts) holds the World Boxing Association belt as well as two lesser world titles (IBO, interim WBC). Promoters in New York said 15,000 tickets were sold in the first week for what promises to be a sold-out thriller. The winner is expected to face whoever comes out on top of a Nov. 21 showdown between the linear middleweight champion, Miguel Cotto, and red-headed Mexican

star Saul (Canelo) Alvarez. Asked who he thought would win that bout, Golovkin said: “The fans. It’s 50-50.’’ That’s how Lemieux’s camp sees the bout with the fighter nicknamed Triple-G. Bernard Hopkins, the middleweight king from the 1990s and early 2000s who now works for Lemieux’s promoter Golden Boy, said it reminded him of his win over 6-to-1 favourite Felix Trinidad in 2001.

But, Lemieux’s trainer Marc Ramsay knows he has his work cut out for him finding a way to beat one of the best in the business. “We respect Golovkin because he is such a complete fighter,’’ said Ramsay. “It’s not just speed or technique or power. “If he only had one of those it would be relatively easy to neutralize, but when you have a complete fighter the strategy gets more complex. And, you can’t just get one spar-

ring partner to imitate Golovkin. It’ll take a few guys to cover various aspects.’’ The head of Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya, sent a tweet suggesting Golovkin will also have to be well prepared. “Golovkin has never faced a fighter with the will, speed, power and stiff hard jab along with tremendous boxing ability when needed. #Lemieux,’’ De La Hoya wrote. To which Golovkin replied: “It will be a great fight. Definitely a

challenging one.’’ A news conference to promote the bout turned into a dud when Golovkin and his team arrived 75 minutes late, after Lemieux had left. No face-to-face photos. No verbal give-andtake between fighters. Golovkin’s promoter Tom Loeffler apologized and said he was misinformed by one of his staff on the starting time. Several dozen fans who turned out to the new conference booed when he finally showed up.

Johanne Elizabeth Ereaut (nee Ashcroft) It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Johanne Elizabeth Ereaut on August 16, 2015 in Kamloops, B.C. at the age of 74. She is survived by her loving husband Roy Ereaut of 53 years, son Robert, daughter Deborah and her cherished grandchildren Levent and Dilara. She will be sadly missed by her sister Flora and sisters-in-law Melba and Maisie. She was predeceased by her parents John and Isabella Ashcroft who emigrated from Scotland in 1929, hence Mom’s love of the bagpipes. She was also predeceased by her sisters Janette and Isabelle. Mom was born on December 17, 1940 in Melita, Manitoba growing up on a farm where she enjoyed riding horses, especially Princey. At the age of eighteen she enlisted in the Air Force where she met the love of her life, Roy. As a military spouse, Johanne and family experienced many adventures and locations across Canada and the United States, finally settling in Kamloops in 1980. Mom worked as a lab technician assistant at Irving Clinic, later known as Aberdeen Lab where she developed many long lasting friendships in addition to her friends outside of work.

Rise Up Slowly . . .

Diane Robertson

Rise up slowly, Angel. Do not leave me here, alone, Where the warmth of mortal essence Lies replaced by cold, hard stone.

Wrap me in a downy cape Of sunshine, warm with love, And kiss a tear-stained mother’s face With moonlight from above.

Rise up slowly, Angel. I cannot let you go. Just drift softly ‘midst the faces, In sorrow now bent low.

Speak to me in breezes, Whispered through the drying leaves, And caress my brow with raindrops Filtered by the sheltering trees.

Then, wait for me at sunset, Beside the lily pond, And guide me safely homeward To your world, which lies beyond.

Ease the searing anger, ..... Born in harsh, unyielding truth That Death could steal my loved one From the glowing blush of youth.

Rise up slowly, Angel, For I cannot hear the song Which calls you through the shadows Into the light beyond.

Just spread your arms to take me In reunion’s sweet embrace, And we shall soar, together, To a different time and place.

Gov’t email addresses linked to cheating site

Public servant emails among massive dump of Ashley Madison hack information THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The apparent email addresses of hundreds of Canadian federal, provincial and municipal government employees are contained in a massive leaked list of names purported to be users of Ashley Madison, a matchmaking website for cheating spouses. Ashley Madison does not send verification emails, meaning the accounts might not belong to actual users of the site and could simply be the work of disgruntled tricksters. Further, the data goes back to 2004, suggesting some email addresses may no longer be operational. In a statement, Toronto-based Ashley Madison’s parent company, Avid Life Media, said it was monitoring and investigating the leak to determine the validity of any information posted online. It did not immediately respond to a question about why people can register for Ashley Madison with unverified or fake email addresses. Federally, more than 170 addresses associated with the Canadian Armed Forces are on the list and hundreds more from other departments and agencies, including justice, public works, the Canada Revenue Agency and the RCMP. At least one MP was registered by name. Several email addresses attached to the Senate were registered, although not under any sitting senators’ names. According to data on ashleymadison.com, there were more than 55,000 users on the website living in Ottawa in 2013, making it the most infidelityfriendly city in Canada. There were also municipal government email addresses on the list, including 78 in Toronto, 41 in Ottawa and 32 in Calgary. Dozens of university email addresses are also included. Hackers leaked the list after claiming Ashley Madison refused to bow to their demands to close the site. A message posted online said “Time’s Up!’’ and accused parent company Avid Life Media of deceit and incompetence. Computer security expert Brian Krebs, who writes the KrebsOnSecurity blog, said many of the leaked accounts appeared to be little more than a name and an email address, raising questions about their authenticity. “But, when you start factoring in payment information, that becomes harder to explain,’’ he said. Krebs said Ashley Madison does not send verification emails and allows multiple accounts to be linked to a single email address in an effort to aid users’ privacy. “They wanted to remove the ability for anybody to do that reconnaissance and try to register to find out if somebody was already a member,’’ he said. “They wanted their users to have deniability.’’ Krebs said it was unsurprising that some of the emails were attached to government accounts, but he declined to speculate on the motivations of those who signed up.

DUFFY TRIAL

Harper foes focus on Novak, evidence on campaign trail MIKE BLANCHFIELD

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Stephen Harper’s political opponents agreed on one thing yesterday — it is unlikely the prime minister was in the dark about the controversial Mike Duffy expense payout, given that his right-hand man knew. Harper said he wasn’t going to discuss the latest controversial revelations from the Duffy trial from the previous day that more closely linked Ray Novak, his current chief of staff, to a $90,000 payment to Duffy in 2013. In the face of that evidence, Harper reiterated his core message on the topic as he continued to face questions on the federal election campaign. Harper maintained only two people are responsible for wrongdoing — Duffy over his Senate expense claims and former chief of staff Nigel Wright, who paid them. But, the leaders of the Liberals, NDP and the Bloc Quebecois were united in their skepticism as the Duffy trial’s impact reverberated on

ELECTION2015 #elxn42 #kamloops

the campaign. Novak has been a loyal political lieutenant to Harper since his days in opposition. He was elevated to chief of staff in 2013, when it was revealed Wright personally covered Duffy’s expenses. Harper had wanted Duffy to repay them back himself. During Wright’s six days in the witness box at Duffy’s fraud trial, it emerged that Novak was informed about Wright’s plan to repay the expenses. This came out in emails and then in a statement the prime minister’s former lawyer made to the RCMP that was read into evidence. “He [Harper] has not been frank, he hasn’t told the truth,’’ NDP Leader Tom

Mulcair said in Surrey. “If Mr. Novak knew, Mr. Harper knew. So, one plus one makes two. Now that we know Mr. Novak knew, we are able to conclude that Mr. Harper knew as well.’’ Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said Harper needs to be honest with Canadians about what he knew about the Duffy affair. “This comes down to whether Canadians can trust the prime minister and his office. Canadians are not fools,’’ Trudeau said in Winnipeg. “They know that Mr. Harper has not been telling the truth. They deserve him to come clean. The prime minister has to start telling the truth to Canadians.’’ Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe said it is time either for Novak to quit or for Harper to fire him. “It’s curious that it seems that everybody around Stephen Harper knew what was happening, but Stephen Harper,’’ Duceppe said in Montreal. “It’s very strange because in Ottawa we were used to

knowing that Harper was controlling everything and knew everything — so, for the very first time he didn’t.’’ Asked repeatedly about Novak yesterday, Harper said he wasn’t going to comment on a matter before the courts. “I am not going to cherrypick facts that are in dispute before a court,’’ Harper said in London, Ont. “There are two people in my judgment who are responsible — Mr. Duffy, who did not reimburse the taxpayers for expenses that I believe cannot be justified, and Mr. Wright, who, although he did reimburse the taxpayers, he did so without my authority and contrary to my wishes.’’ Novak is still taking part in the Harper campaign, but remained elusive yesterday. However, a statement by the Conservative campaign spokesman last week about Novak has been contradicted by what’s emerged from the Ottawa courthouse since then. Kory Teneycke told reporters it was “unfathomable’’ that Novak knew about the $90,000 payment.

Terrace man gets BC HYDRO $300M apology after ‘big fight mistake’ at airport over

TUB/ SHOWER

BUNKS

D#5333

TERRACE — The agency responsible for screening at Canadian airports says a “big mistake’’ was made when a retired social worker was prevented from boarding a flight because an all-female security crew refused to frisk him. Robert Hart has an artificial hip that set off the metal detector at the airport in Terrace in July. He was on his way to a family wedding in Ontario. He said he agreed to be patted down by one of the four female Canadian Air Transport Security Authority officers on duty, but they cited a same-sex pat-down policy and refused. They wouldn’t take him up on his offer to have his wife chaperon the search and there were no RCMP officers on duty to step in. The only solution was to book another flight for when a male officer was on shift. “It was a surreal experience,’’ Hart said yesterday from his home in Terrace. “I said to the lady, ‘I always beep,’ and she replied, ‘You’re not going to be on this flight.’ “You instantly get that feeling of this is too crazy for words. . . . This is just going to go sideways right now. I know it is.’’ He left the airport and took a later flight that departed when a male officer was on duty. Hart complained to the security authority, which found his concern was justified. “It was pretty easy,’’ said the agency’s Mathieu Larocque. “We made a big mistake. The screening officers at the airport

ROBERT HART should have been screening that passenger. “He should have been allowed to get on his flight.’’ Larocque said the same-sex screening policy has been in place since 2010, but there are directives in place for situations such as Hart’s. He declined to say what those were, but said that staff have been reminded of the procedures. The agency apologized to Hart in a letter and suggested he file a compensation claim for the $100 the delay cost him. Hart was impressed with how his complaint was handled and hopes nobody else will have a similar problem. “The letter came through and was unequivocal: ‘We have a policy and it wasn’t followed,’’’ he said. “They said that airport won’t ever err on that side again and, in fact, they were going to make sure all other airports get that policy refreshed as well.’’

VANCOUVER — A lawyer for BC Hydro says a stop-work order on the Site C hydroelectric dam would have a big impact on its construction schedule. Mark Andrews told a B.C. Supreme Court judge yesterday that construction on the northeast B.C. dam would be delayed by at least a year if an injunction is granted. The West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations are challenging the nearly $9-billion project by arguing they were not properly consulted before permits were granted for the first stage of construction. The Treaty 8 Tribal Alliance members say they will suffer irreparable harm if the utility is allowed to start clearing thousands of hectares of old-growth forest. Andrews said a delay would cost more than $300 million and push back site preparation that is critical for awarding a primary contract for building the dam. He said the project is in the public interest because the dam would eventually produce power for thousands.

Regina youth-group leader charged with B.C. sex crimes THE CANADIAN PRESS

REGINA — Mounties on Vancouver Island say a youthgroup leader from Regina is facing sex-related charges. Jason Hubelit, 41, was charged in the Tofino area earlier this month. Hubelit, who is also a minor hockey coach, is the director of a group called Canadian Christian Youth Adventures. Mounties said they started an investigation after being contacted by police in Regina, who

told them they had received a call about an alleged offence in July. Hubelit faces several charges that include one count of sexual interference and one count of sexual assault. Another charge of invitation to sexual touching has been stayed. He has already faced a judge in Campbell River and his case has been put over until Sept. 14. Hockey Regina’s Blair Watson said Hubelit was most recently a head coach for a bantam team of 13- and 14-year-olds. Watson

outlined the normal procedures before the organization accepts coaches into minor hockey. “All of our coaches provide us with a criminal record check they have gotten within the last 12 months,’’ he said yesterday. Any charges that might arise after an individual clears screening are dealt with through the board of directors. Hockey Regina won’t be involved in the Hubelit case because he hasn’t applied to coach in the upcoming season, Watson said.

matic transmission, persuaded me it would get us where we needed to go. My parents, Nadine and George Thomas, started their trip in Vancouver, in the heart of the city. On the first evening, I offered to take them for a drive around town to show them the hot spots. The RDX offers soft leather seats featuring eight-way power adjustability, coupled with a sleek and stylish exterior, which incorporates an aerodynamic efficient body. To say we felt cool driving it through the city, with music pumping from the 360-watt audio system, is an understatement. Within a few days, we were on our way to explore Salt Spring Island. At this point, it was time for my father to get his hands on the wheel to see what the RDX was really made of. Our joint verdict is the RDX offers great handling with an agile yet secure feel — the vehicle integrates amplitude reactive dampers that analyze the driver’s input against the road conditions to adjust the drive to the road you’re travelling. Like most dads, mine never needs directions. However, while on our way to the Saturday market, we somehow ended up on a dead-end back road. Luckily, the GPS navigation system gave my mother a muchneeded break from map reading. The system has the ability to pinpoint your location almost anywhere in North America and is equipped with two options of relaying your route: voice or a real-time moving map. This feature is a sure-fire way of ensuring you get to where you need to go, while removing any secondguessing from the equation. We continued our adventures on Vancouver Island from Nanaimo through the

mountain ranges. At this point, I once again took over driving without the hassle of resetting my seat preferences. The settings were conveniently programmed into the seat position memory. Once back on the road, I really put the pedal to the metal — the acceleration was brisk and delivered plenty of power. With that much power, typically comes a hefty bill at the gas station and not because of all the ice cream sandwiches purchased there. However, a comparison shows the RDX fuel efficiency is rivalled by few luxury SUVs. Given the oftensteep gas prices we see these days, the RDX’s fuel economy on average is 10.6 litres/100 kilometres, allowing motorists to enjoy summer drives guiltfree. The pleasure of cruising the coastline was amplified by the views offered from the RDX’s raised stance. Driving as the sun dipped below the horizon meant it was time to open the moonroof. It is easily operated with a one-touch power mechanism along with a visor actively reducing the vibrations and noise associated with having a window open, allowing for a smooth and noise-free ride. Last, but certainly not least, I had long awaited my parents’ arrival with the anticipation of finally properly learning how to parallel park. To my surprise, the Acura RDX provides all of the tools required to complete the complex and, sometimes, dangerous — when I’m behind the wheel — task. The vehicle includes a multi-angle rear-view camera along with reverse tilt dual mirrors that provide curb views. I can now parallel park in the city without chagrin — so, hold onto your curbside parking spots, fellow motorists.
