On July 3, 2010, a speedboat driven by Leon Reinbrecht crashed into a houseboat owned by Ken Brown following a post-Canada Day fireworks display in Magna Bay on Shuswap Lake. Brown was killed in the collision and Reinbrecht was charged with criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm. A verdict is expected today in B.C.

Nearly 11 months after he was shot while conducting a traffic stop in Batchelor Heights, RCMP Cpl. JeanRene Michaud was in a Kamloops courtroom on Friday testifying against an alleged criminal in an unrelated case for the first time since being injured. Michaud took the stand in the preliminary inquiry of Michael Lees, who is charged with two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking. The evidence he gave is bound by a court-ordered publication ban, but it marks Michaud’s return to policing — albeit in a limited capacity. It is not known if or when Michaud will resume full-time work. Ken Knutson is facing a raft of serious charges — including attempted murder — in relation to the Dec. 3 shooting of Michaud. The 36-year-old was arrested following an exhaustive manhunt that lasted more than 12 hours. Knutson is due back in court for his own preliminary inquiry beginning on Dec. 7, at which the Crown intends to call 21 witnesses — 16 police officers, four civilians and one expert. Knutson remains in custody.
DECISION DAY IN LAKE CRASH TRIAL TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The long, strange legal journey of Leon Reinbrecht is almost over. It has been five years, three months and 24 days since Reinbrecht’s speedboat collided nearly head-on with a houseboat on Shuswap Lake, killing the houseboat’s operator, Ken Brown. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan is expected to deliver her verdict today, following a trial that spanned six months before wrapping up in June. Reinbrecht’s fate has been in Donegan’s hands since the trial concluded. A decision had
been expected in September, but it was pushed back more than a month at the judge’s request. The proceedings against Reinbrecht have moved at a snail’s pace since the crash, which occurred on the night of July 3, 2010. Court heard Reinbrecht was driving his speedboat in crowded Magna Bay following a fireworks display when he collided with Brown’s houseboat. Witnesses said they saw a speedboat being driven recklessly in the area prior to the crash. Toxicology reports showed Brown was intoxicated at the time. The Crown entered no evidence about Reinbrecht’s inebriation, but a passenger on his boat said he had been drinking. In the weeks after the collision, police
obtained a warrant for blood samples they thought had been taken from Reinbrecht by staff at Royal Inland Hospital. The warrant was granted largely on the evidence that a number of empty beer cans were found in Reinbrecht’s boat. When police went to collect the blood samples, they learned no such samples were taken. It took 17 months for charges — criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm — to be laid against Reinbrecht. During the course of the trial, court heard investigators wanted to return to Magna Bay at the same time of year to understand the lighting conditions at the time of the collision. See TRIAL, A4

Bridge work may be done by Friday ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Commuting between the North and South shores could get a littler easier as early as this Friday, according to the City of Kamloops. While the city has pledged to return Overlanders Bridge traffic to four lanes by Saturday, Oct. 31, capital-projects manager Darren Crundwell said work on the bridge deck may wrap up a day earlier. “It’s going to be done on time or earlier,” he said. “It will be done by Saturday, I’m almost 100 per cent confident on that. Just looking at the forecast right now, if we get four days of rain where we can’t pave and waterproof, that’s one thing, but that doesn’t look to be the case.” Environment Canada is calling for cloudy skies, with highs to 12 C and lows to 4 C tomorrow through the weekend. On the financial side, Crundwell said the
city is still finalizing its numbers, but will be on or under budget for the project. The bridge project, which began last April, was expected to cost the city about $10.3 million. Paving to the south end of the bridge deck is complete and the remaining paving north of the deck was expected to be done yesterday. Waterproofing of the bridge’s eastern lanes should be finished by tomorrow at the latest, Crundwell said, with paving of the deck ongoing on already-treated portions of the lanes. Once the bridge opens, some cleanup on the site remains, but Crundwell said workers should be entirely off the site by the second week of November. “We actually got quite a bit more done, even on the cleanup stuff, than we thought we would,” he said. Workers will spend the next week removing the remaining scaffolding from the bridge, while others will fly out from Eastern
Canada to install compression seals on the bridge joints. The rubber seals, which protect the steel of the joints from water, will be installed at night. Crundwell said the seals should help ease some concerns about the joints, which have been a sore spot for some drivers, who say they are as bumpy as they were before the bridge project began. At issue are gaps in the centre of the joints, up to two inches wide in the main expansions, where the seals will sit. The rubber should dampen the sound of cars moving over the joints, which Crundwell said is echoing off the steel. “Once those seals are in there, they won’t hear the noise as much, which will probably give them the impression it’s not as bad,” he said. Crundwell believes a return to regular speeds will decrease the sensation of bumping when driving over the joints.

PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE & PARKADE
FAQs
7 to help you decide Questions
The City has received a number of questions about the Performing Arts Centre and Parkade. We want to share the most common to inform voters for the November 7th referendum. 1. Why is the City proposing a parkade and performing arts centre (PAC) complex? There‘s a shortage of theatre space and parking in our city centre. Building an underground parkade with a performing arts centre above meets our needs and makes full use of the property.

Smaller sockeye salmon run in 2015 CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
More than 1,500 sockeye were counted in the Adams River in the past two weeks, but it will be months before the final numbers are known. This year marks a sub-dominant year on the famous sockeye-salmon run. The brood year in 2011 saw about 150,000 fish return to the river. Weekly live counts found 300 sockeye in the river on one occasion and 1,200 most recently, on Oct. 18. Stu Cartwright, a manager with Department of Fisheries and Oceans in Kamloops, said numbers are
Trial far from routine From A1,
Adding performing arts with sport tourism allows us to diversify and compliment our local economy. The complex will attract performers with specific requirements on venue and seating capacities. And local performers will benefit too with access to full production theatres and rehearsal halls.
2. How does this impact my property taxes, what will it cost me?
There are two phases; a 1% tax increase in 2016 and again in 2017. That results to a 2% increase - about $38/year - in property taxes for the average household for the next 20 years.
3. What if construction costs go up?
The City is asking to borrow up to $49 million and if costs go up the project won’t proceed unless more funding is made available from other levels of government, grants or donors.
4. What capital projects, like roads and sidewalks, will be deferred as a result of the PAC?
None. This project will be funded by federal government grants, gaming and parking revenues, donors and tax dollars outside of the City’s capital plan budget.
5. What will it cost to operate the PAC and how is it paid for?
Once it is built there are no additional costs to the taxpayer. The annual operating cost for the PAC is estimated to be no more than $900,000 which is covered by the 2% tax increase.
forecast to be significantly down from 2011, but the official count will not be known until early in the new year. The Fraser River late run this year is expected to be a fraction of the early estimate of 1.2 million. While the sockeye return looks poor, Cartwright said another important species is showing more positive signs. “The good news is it look like there’s a good return of chinook, equal or larger to the brood,” he said. “It’s a bright light in our area.” Chinook salmon are still in the system, including in the Adams, Little and South Thompson rivers.
After charges were laid in December 2011, a number of potential trial dates came and went before lawyers went to court in January of this year. But, at the last minute, Reinbrecht switched lawyers and the trial was pushed back another month. The trial itself was far from routine. The Crown opened by announcing it would call 50 witnesses. Once evidence started being presented to court, additional witnesses began coming out of the woodwork and some were called to testify, complicating matters and creating further delays. Witnesses offered conflicting testimony about what they saw. One described a boat travelling at
“killing speed.” Multiple people said they saw a boat “doing donuts.” In the spring, the trial was delayed for two weeks because of a scheduling conflict on the part of the judge. In April, a police officer and Crown witness meddled in the defence’s case by contacting the employer of a defence expert witness — the Canadian Coast Guard — and questioning whether the witness should testify. RCMP Cpl. Richard Harry spent three days on the stand. After finding out about the inquiry to the Coast Guard, defence lawyer Joe Doyle raised the prospect of having all of Harry’s evidence tossed. “I will say, on its face, it’s concerning,” Donegan said at the time.
The inquiry also caused another delay, requiring lawyers to comb through a pile of new disclosure relating to Harry’s conversation about the defence witness. Reinbrecht’s defence lawyers tried to poke holes in the Crown’s case throughout the trial. During his testimony, Harry admitted the houseboat had a light that was not functioning, making it non-compliant with Transport Canada guidelines. Doyle compared the houseboat to a driver on a highway at night with no lights on. If Reinbrecht is found guilty, it’s likely sentencing will be set over for a later date. It is also possible his defence lawyers could make a Charter application to have the conviction tossed due to delay.
6. Who would run the Performing Arts Centre?
A not-for-profit society would operate the facility and report to the City. This is becoming the model of choice in municipalities across Canada. The society will be expected to operate the Performing Arts Centre as a business.

Second Yes group emerges ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Less than 24 hours after the debut of a group opposed to the city’s proposed performing-arts centre, a second collection of supporters has announced it is recruiting members. Friends of the PAC spokesman Michael Fane said the group is working with the Yes Committee, but is meant for members of the public who are patrons, not practitioners of the arts. “The Yes group has people in it — Lori Marchand, Kathy Humphreys [general managers at Western Canada Theatre and Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, respectively] — who you could say quite legitimately have a dog in the fight,” Fane said. “Kathy would like to have a nice, shiny new performance centre where the members of the symphony could actually hear each other, whereas
A5
our group is interested almost entirely in having comfortable seats, which the Sagebrush does not have.” Fane sat on the mayor’s committee first charged with investigating the feasibility of an arts centre. The city eventually settled on a $91-million concept with a 350-stall underground parkade, a 1,200-seat main stage theatre and a smaller black-box theatre. Residents will vote on Saturday, Nov. 7, on the question of whether to borrow up to $49 million for the project. Friends of the PAC’s approximately dozen members last worked together in 2011. Many of them were part of an effort to quash a parkade the city planned to build on the edge of Riverside Park. “We came down to, I think, the correct decision of not having the parkade where it wouldn’t be properly used and now we’re supporting it where
it will be properly used,” Fane said. He said he sees the group’s goal as dispelling “incorrect information” circulating about the project online. “There was the one where someone wrote yesterday, ‘Oh, it’s only going be 50 per cent used, so why bother building it?’” Fane said. “Well, no, what they did when they did the revenue takeoff was they used a very conservative revenue number, where every time anyone used it, you’d only fill half the seats. That’s a very, very conservative number.” Fane also encouraged undecided members of the public to speak with city staff at a pair of PAC open houses, set for Nov. 4 at Sandman centre. Those interested in joining the group can call Kirsten MacDougall at 250-372-2501. The group also has a Facebook page, Friends of PAC.
Advance voting begins tomorrow While general voting day for the referendum on the proposed performing-arts centre is Saturday, Nov. 7, advance polls will be open tomorrow and Monday, November 2. Advance voting will take place at Heritage House in Riverside Park, 100 Lorne St., from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on both days. Electors will be asked to vote on the following question: “Are you in favour of the City of Kamloops borrowing up to $49 million to design and construct the parkade and performing arts centre complex?” Go online to kamloops.ca/referendum to learn more about voter eligibility and voting locations on Nov. 7.

Roommate tells jury of fiery, chaotic scene gave Gordon the bedroom because Gordon had a girlfriend. On April 24, 2013, Tomporowski finished work at 3 p.m. and headed to the Kami Inn pub, where he was a regular. William, also a regular, showed up a few hours later. The two met about a week earlier and became romantically involved. The pair stayed at the bar until it closed and headed to Tomporowski’s home, where Gordon and his girlfriend, Marie Ricard, were sitting in the yard drinking beer. Tomporowski said Gordon and Ricard soon began arguing and their argument turned violent.
TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The roommate of a Kamloops man on trial for manslaughter and accused of setting a fatal house fire in 2013 cried in court on Friday while recounting the chaotic scene that left his girlfriend dead. David Gordon’s trial in connection to the death of Cheryl William began last week before a jury in B.C. Supreme Court. William Tomporowski told jurors Gordon moved into his St. Paul Street one-bedroom suite on April 22, 2013. Tomporowski said he
She hit him with a door, court heard, and he responded by shoving her into the kitchen. Ricard called police and was taken to a women’s shelter. Tomporowski said he then got into his living-room bed with William, who had slept through most of the arguing. “It was about five or 10 minutes after, we start hearing kicking noises and bangs and yelling coming from the bedroom,” Tomporowski said. “A lot of bangs, thumping, stomping. It sounded like he was hitting something.” About half an hour later,
Tomporowski said, Gordon came out of the bedroom. “He leaned over and I remember him saying, ‘I just lit a fire,’” Tomporowski testified. “I don’t remember the last part, but, ‘I want to kill you two’ or ‘I want to kill you all.’ “That’s when I jumped up and I seen that he had a fire going in the bedroom. As I came around the corner, David was standing, staring, looking at the fire, watching it.” Tomporowski said he took a Brita water jug from the fridge and dumped it on the blaze, but it grew. “As soon as the fire hit the ceiling,
I turned around and started screaming at Cheryl, ‘Let’s go, let’s get out of here.’ At that point, I couldn’t see because the smoke was so far down.” Tomporowski said he crawled to the back door as smoke filled the house. “Then, when I opened the door, that’s when there was the big whoosh sound and that’s when the windows and doors blew out and I got blown outside,” he said through tears. “There was a lot of flame and smoke in the house.” The trial continues.
Convicted smuggler was subject of KTW news series in 2007 in his body has been handed a three-month jail sentence. Dustin Braaten pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court yesterday to possession of a controlled substance. Court heard the 31-year-old was booked into Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre on

April 27. Federal Crown prosecutor Anthony Varesi said Braaten was searched during his admittance to the jail and no drugs were found. The following afternoon, Varesi said, corrections staff were watching Braaten in his cell via closed-circuit
video when something caught their eye. “They noted some suspicious behaviour on the part of the accused,” Varesi said. Officers went to Braaten’s cell and found a prescription bottle in his name hidden in bedding. Inside the bottle was 19.9 grams of heroin. Another gram
was found tucked into Braaten’s waistband. “It’s a fairly large amount of heroin,” Varesi said. Varesi said nothing about where the drugs were hidden, only that they weren’t found during a search during the book-in process. Braaten was sentenced to 90 days in jail.
In October 2007, when he was 23, Braaten was the subject of a KTW series chronicling his attempts to kick his drug addiction. The final paragraph of the final instalment in the series: “‘Sometimes I think about how far I would be if I had never done drugs,” he says.
“But I can’t really think like that. I just try to be as grateful and thoughtful as I can, and when I do get discouraged with something small, I try not to let it get me down.” That series can be read online at http:// www.kamloopsthisweek. com/dustin-braatensroad-to-recovery/.

City talks New Afton annexation ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
B.C.’s Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development is headed to Kamloops next month as the city makes another pitch to tax the New Afton mine. Minister Peter Fassbender is set to tour the mine west of Kamloops on Nov. 9. “He’ll be meeting with area mining reps as well as First Nations and ourselves, I think getting a sense of the layout of the different sites in terms of where they line up,” Mayor Peter Milobar said. “Kind of getting the real view, as opposed to
lines on a map.” The city has been working on an annexation bid for well over a year. According to a report presented to city council last October, taxes from the mine would add $689,760 to the city’s coffers in its first year and $2.3 million by year five. Money from the mine would offset taxes paid by other heavy industries, including the Domtar pulp mill. Those companies have complained to council their rate of taxation is far higher than the provincial average and asked to have their rate chopped in half. According to city
10 REASONS
calculations, New Afton tax dollars would bring Domtar’s bill from about $5 million to $3.9 million by year five. But, the annexation plan has faced opposition from the Stk’emlupsemc of the Secwepmc Nation (SSN), an organization representing the Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn bands, who argued it could threaten existing revenue-sharing agreements. Milobar said the city is looking at other avenues beyond annexation to bring the money into the city, including a fairshare agreement similar to those in place in B.C.’s north, but is keeping the
door to expanding its boundaries open. The province’s decision on New Afton (for which there is no timeline) could also set a precedent in the event the Ajax copper and gold mine is built south of Aberdeen. “That’s kind of the elephant in the room, so to speak,” Milobar said. “We’re wondering what happens if there’s no opportunity for anything to happen with New Gold, what does that mean for Ajax and what should the public expectation be then — or not — as we move through the whole permitting process?”

IS THERE REALLY A BETTER SYSTEM?
I
n the wake of the federal election, prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau is carrying around a lengthy laundry list of promises. Many are urging that he immediately make good on a pledge to re-examine Canada’s first-past-the-post electoral system. Trudeau’s 32-point plan to “restore democracy” included creating an all-party parliamentary committee to look at potential alternatives, including proportional representation, ranked ballots, mandatory voting and online voting. Worrying to many is that the current system — in which the candidate who receives the highest number of votes wins that riding — does not require the winner to glean a majority of votes cast. Since the number of votes can be split as many ways as there are parties and candidates, it means the person who ends up representing the seat in Ottawa may also represent a minority of the constituents. Detractors also note the system encourages strategic voting, in which voters may cast ballots only against the candidate they least want to see in office. In neither of these scenarios, opponents argue, can the true will of the electorate be seen. Among alternatives to first-past-the-post, the strongest and most frequently suggested is proportional representation, in which seats in the Commons are apportioned according each party’s share of the popular vote. But, not only does this frequently mean electing multiple members in each district, it also means it would be hard for any party to gather a majority of seats and, consequently, an increase in the number of coalition governments. Neither first-past-the-post nor proportional representation, it can be argued, is without faults or likely to remove voter dissatisfaction entirely. There is simply no pleasing everyone.

Highway of Tears myths
T
he scandal of the week at the B.C. legislature concerns deleted emails. Primarily, it revolves around 36 pages of government emails the NDP opposition has been trying for a year to get under freedom of information legislation. They relate to a series of meetings between transportation ministry bureaucrats and remote communities along Highway 16, between Prince George and Prince Rupert. If you want all of the accusations about government secrecy and alleged cover-ups, I invite you to read Access Denied, the latest report of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (online at kamloopsthisweek.com) and transcripts of question period in the legislature. What you won’t find there is much discussion of the actual problem, which is a shortage of safe and practical transportation options in and out of these communities, most of which are federally funded aboriginal reserves far from the region’s only highway. What we have seen for decades is a dramatic media narrative about one or more serial killers preying on vulnerable women hitchhiking along what is now known worldwide as the Highway of Tears. The Wikipedia entry for Highway of Tears gives a sense of the credibility of this narrative. It begins with the unsolved murder of Gloria Moody, last seen leaving a bar in Williams Lake in 1969.
TOM FLETCHER
Our Man In
VICTORIA That’s a long way from Highway 16. Then there was Monica Jack, killed in 1978. DNA technology resulted in a charge finally being laid last year against a known serial rapist. This was even farther away, near Merritt, and she was a 12-year-old riding her bike. Other cases involve street prostitution in and around Prince George, an urban hub for a large aboriginal population similar to Regina and Winnipeg. Discussion in Victoria focuses on urban notions of increased transit in places where existing service may be under-used. Nationally, the narrative is that deep-seated social problems within aboriginal communities would somehow be solved by a lawyer-heavy judicial inquiry that looks only at tragedies involving women. If you drive Highway 16 today, you will see fading billboards pleading for information on the disappearance of Madison Scott. She was last seen in the early hours of May 28, 2011, after a grad party in the woods outside Vanderhoof.
Her truck and tent were still there. Again, nothing to do with hitchhiking, but at least it was near Highway 16. Here’s something else you won’t often hear in the Highway of Tears melodrama. There is commercial bus service on Highway 16, although Greyhound reduced frequency in 2013 as it struggles with low ridership and high costs. BC Transit also operates bus service to some remote communities, like Kispiox and Gitsegukla, connecting them south to Smithers. But, BC Transit requires local governments and riders to cover about half the cost. Indian Act reserves don’t pay. North Coast NDP MLA Jennifer Rice has noted what people in remote communities ask for is a way to get back and forth for shopping and medical appointments. Yes, shopping is an important need, as those who live in remote areas can tell you. And Northern Health already runs a bus service for remote residents who need medical care. Rice’s observations at least move us toward practical solutions, although most of her effort seems directed towards political blame. I hope the infamous 36 pages of emails are eventually released, since they were not deleted, but rather excluded from release. They may bring the discussion back to the actual public-service issue, which is what realistic transportation options exist for these communities. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

PAC WOULD BE ANOTHER UNNECESSARY TAX GRAB Editor: Re: The City of Kamloops performing-arts centre (PAC) referendum advertising campaign, with its “Seven questions to help you decide.” What self-serving rubbish. Clearly these supposed “questions” are tailored purely to support the yes vote rather than provide genuine information to the citizens of this city. This is sadly typical of this council and its management. The only point of note in the seven questions is the unnecessary additional, permanent two per cent property-tax hike on top of

what has become the unnecessary annual property-tax increase. The suggestion there is a shortage of theatre space is not borne out by facts. The current facilities, based on attendance and subscriptions, is more than adequate to meet the needs of the city into the future. As for construction cost increases, of course the initial estimate will not increase before contract. However, we can be assured that, based on the city’s abysmal financial management of major projects, costs will go up dramatically during the construction period and beyond.
As for what capital projects would be affected, citizens are not concerned about what projects would be delayed, but whether it is necessary to spend upwards of $100 million when there are more appropriate ways to do so. On the topic of operating costs, there is no way the city can justify that annual operating costs for the arts centre will be $900,000. That is nonsense. The ad states the arts centre will be run by a “not-for-profit” and it would be “run as a business.” Both of these are meaningless in the context of how this city operates.

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: OVERLANDERS BRIDGE PROJECT MAY BE FINISHED BY FRIDAY:
“At the end of the day, vehicles should not use the bridge if it will cause damage to their vehicle. I don’t believe this minor bump could damage a vehicle. “I am just happy traffic will resume to normal soon and we can all move on. These guys did a great job. It was not as bad as I expected. “Thanks for all your hard work!” — posted by Kamloopsresident “Six months of stupid traffic, $10 million and the bridge is the exact same as it was. “Complete waste of time and money.” — posted by Jon
There is a lack of accountability on project overruns and spending and there is no confidence an arts centre could be run cost-effectively on taxpayers’ money. The city does not need a PAC as current facilities are adequate for its needs. The city cannot support a new, larger arts facility. It would be a major drain on taxpayers. Taxpayers do not need another unnecessary tax grab by the city as we already pay too much for what we receive.

Cheer Fund deadline extended CHARITIES NOW HAVE UNTIL NOV. 2 TO SEND IN APPLICATIONS DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
The deadline to apply to the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund is being extended — not because we didn’t receive any applications, but because the committee overseeing it wants to open it up to even more interested charities. The Cheer Fund is a charitable endeavour in which charities are chosen to be recipients of KTW’s annual fundraising drive. The online form (www. kamloopsthisweek.com/2015christmas-cheer) had a mandatory section requiring registered charity-information returns filed with the federal government. It was brought to our attention there are plenty of longstanding, engaged community groups in Kamloops that, because of their size, aren’t registered with the government. They’re just out there doing good work. That part of the application form is no longer mandatory. If you are registered, the committee wants to see your financials. For those not registered,
the committee still needs to see your financial statements, but will accept those internally audited or reviewed.
Because of this change, the deadline is being pushed back to Nov. 2. The committee will meet that week to decide and the Cheer campaign will kick off on Nov. 10. The online donation portal will be active and linked to kamloopsthisweek.com. That site has been changed to make the donation process easier, but an email address is required to use it in order to receive a tax receipt immediately. Those without an email address will need to come to the
KTW office, 1365B Dalhousie Dr., and their receipts will be issued in January. The office is open Mondays to Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and our Christmas Cheer penguin and thermometer will greet you as you come through the doors. Donations can also be made downtown at the United Way Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo office, 177 Victoria St., at the corner of Victoria and Second Avenue. Last year, our first doing the Cheer fund, we learned there are businesses and organizations in the community that come together with specific projects to help the Cheer fund. Email dale@kamloopsthisweek.com if you are one of those. KTW will help you promote it or publish a photograph thanking you for your support. There will be stories and photos in coming weeks explaining what the organizations chosen do for Kamloops, as well as some features on longtime donors. We’ll also run a list of donors in editions of KTW.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone acknowledges he “triple-deletes” emails, a practice condemned in a report released last week by B.C.’s freedom of information watchdog. Stone said the practice dates back to his time as a software entrepreneur. But, Stone and other ministers and political staff were instructed on Friday by Premier Christy Clark to no longer delete any emails until a specially appointed consultant completes his work for government. The move comes after an investigation by Elizabeth Denham, B.C.’s commissioner for freedom of information and protection of privacy. The investigation started after a former staffer of Stone’s blew the whistle on a man-
ager who deleted emails regarding the Highway of Tears that were subject to a freedom of information request. Denham has referred the manager’s actions to the RCMP, including for changing statements under oath. She also condemned the way political staff and politicians handle so-called transitory records, in this case emails. She found emails are routinely “triple-deleted” so they are invisible to freedom of information requests.
The B.C. Liberal government will bring in former commissioner David Loukidelis to provide advice on new standards of record keeping. Other recommendations in the report will go to an all-party committee. Stone told KTW triple-deleted files “for all intents and purposes are not taking up space, but are still there to be recovered ... “I don’t triple-delete every day. Sometimes I go six months before I do a purge. I don’t clear my inbox every day,” he said.
Stone said he has routinely purged emails he considers irrelevant going back to his days as a software CEO in order to save memory on computers and servers. In her report, Denham said the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act requires emails to be retained. “I’m not disputing that’s where things are going,” Stone said, acknowledging the cost of data storage is a fraction of what it was when he was first in the software business.

Kamloops dentist fined, suspended 18-YEAR-OLD PATIENT SUFFERED BRAIN DAMAGE IN NOVEMBER 2012 DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops dentist Dr. Bobby Rishiraj has been suspended from his practice for three months, effective Oct. 21, and ordered to pay a fine of $50,000 and costs of $50,891.30 to the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C. The penalty was announced on Thursday after a hearing was held into Rishiraj’s actions that left one of his patients, Hamu Zindoga, with a severe brain injury. Rishiraj was also ordered to successfully complete an ethics course and, for five years after the suspension is lifted, may only provide moderate sedation to his patients using only a drug in the benzodiazepine class. He must also agree to the college monitoring and inspecting his practice at any time without notice. Zindoga, then 18 when she went to Rishiraj to have her wisdom teeth

elody Formanski has a big fan heading to the city from his home in Newfoundland. “I’ve never even met her, but I think the world of her already,” Sean McCann said of the manager he’s been dealing with while setting up for his Nov. 9 show at St. Andrews on the Square. As one of the founders of Great Big Sea, McCann said he got used to having other people book the band’s tours, deal with all of the details, ensure the equipment arrived in time — everything he now handles after leaving the band, confronting his demons, accepting his past and making new music. “It’s a completely self-propelled tour,” he said of the 21 shows in 22 days he’s booked. “It’s a lot of hard work, but it’s engaging for me personally and I’m meeting beautiful people I might not have met, people like Mel, who’s been such a great help for me.” In booking his tour, McCann — who has played the big arenas before tens of thousands of people — said he looked for smaller venues that aren’t bars, places that are sig-

nificant, that have history, “places where music can live.” Avoiding bars is as much because they don’t fit his music now as it is a reality of, having faced his addictions and abuse at the hands of a priest and now writing and singing songs that helped heal him. McCann said it was his belief in a higher power that finally made him stop and take a hard look at himself. “In my case, that higher power is my wife,” he said. She issued an ultimatum: Stop what you’re doing or you’ll lose everything — wife, kids, maybe even his life. “I failed many times after that,” McCann said. “But, then she said, ‘If you need a reason to stop, this is it.’ I’m glad I heard her that day. And the real result is I still have a wife and a family and I’m still here.” See BACKING, page B2

Music also helped him, he said, and his 2014 release, Help Your Self, was the first step. With songs like Red Wine and Whiskey, Hold Me Mother, Stronger and the title song, “music got me through for sure,” McCann said, “and I’m making good choices now.” It was the bar scene that took him into music, he said. Living in the small town of Carbonear, N-L, he started drinking as a teenager “and I noticed the bands never had to pay for their bar tabs and they had the prettiest girls.” He went home, taught himself to play the guitar and discovered his gift for writing and singing music. On March 11, 1993, Great Big Sea, built upon the friendship of McCann, Bob Hallett, Darrell Power and Alan Doyle, played its first

gig, opening for the Irish Descendants at Memorial University in St. John’s. Twenty years later, on Nov. 14, 2013, McCann left, eventually explaining he had to quit to help stop drinking and change his life around. “We were a bar band. It was superficial and it felt insincere to me. I have more to say now.” He shares his story and his music as a volunteer working with youth confronting addiction and mentalhealth issues and sees the healing power singing can bring. “It lifts the spirit, there’s a real physical
effect, too,” McCann said, something he said he sees in the faces of the youth when he — and they — sing. McCann’s travelling with his best friend, Matt Wells, formerly of the rock band Bucket Truck and a longtime presenter on the MuchMore musictelevision station. Wells will also open for him. The show will be a happy one, McCann said, “with its ups and downs. You’ll cry and you’ll laugh. In 30 years, I’ve had a lot of songs and we’ll do some of them, too.” He’ll take requests and hopes the evening turns into a singalong. “I’ve lot a lot of fear,” McCann said, “and really want to engage with everyone as who I am — just me.” Tickets for the show are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

Glaciers focus of documentary Local environmental group Kamloops350 is sponsoring Chasing Ice, a documentary that, over the course of several years, recorded the world’s changing glaciers. National Geographic photographer James Balog used time-lapse cameras across the Arctic to create the documentary, which has won several awards for its content and cinematography, including An Emmy for outstanding nature programming. Balog was once a climate-change skeptic
but, through his work, he changed his viewpoint and was determined to capture on film a key element of the discussion. The screening takes place tomorrow at the Alumni Theatre in the Clock Tower Building at Thompson Rivers University. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., the film starts at 7 p.m., and a discussion follows. Admission is free; donations are accepted. The evening is part of the university’s Films for Change series.

Chamber has policies adopted nationally The Canadian Chamber of Commerce has adopted two policies from the Kamloops chapter and will bring them to the federal government. Steve Earl, president of the Kamloops Chamber, said a policy on what it called “fair and equitable Canada Border Services at the Kamloops Airport and other smaller airports” and another on access for all businesses to a scientific research and experimental development program were passed by national delegates this week in Ottawa. Earl said the border-
services policy was initially met with opposition “until other chambers rose on the floor to state that they experience the same issues.” The issue was then passed by delegates. Earl said results are good news for Canadian businesses. The Canadian Chamber will join Kamloops in advocating to the federal Liberal government for the policy changes.

dward (Fast Eddy) Dostaler’s dream of running solo and unsupported across Canada and back was dashed on the weekend. “We fail all the time,” Dostaler said. “It’s a failure. Sometimes, you can be prepared for everything and still fail.” The Kamloops resident, who is running to raise awareness of and funds for breastcancer and Alzheimer’s research, halted his journey in Gander, N.L., and flew home to the Tournament Capital on Friday for a month-long break. He plans to recruit drivers, raise funds and return to Gander to resume the run. “Solo and unsupported worked to get the attention; however, I feel it would benefit the causes more to have a driver,” Dostaler said in a Facebook post. “It is hard to plan school events, media, press releases and so on.” Dostaler, 27, began his 21,585-kilometre journey in Victoria on March 1 and, after six months and 28 days, reached Cape Spear, N.L., the easternmost point of North America, on Sept. 30. He said the run was never about setting records, but added, “I’ll still be the first person to continuously run across Canada and back and I’m still the first person in

history to run solo and unsupported across Canada, including the Confederation Bridge.” Dostaler is running low on cash and will use the month-long break to raise money that will make the return trip possible. “I’ll bite the bullet, suck it up and face the ridicule that’s going to happen,” he said. “I didn’t run there and back solo and unsupported, but I gave everything I possibly could to make sure breast cancer and Alzheimer’s saw results. That’s why I’m doing it.” Many of Dostaler’s followers offered sup-
port and condolences on Facebook. “It breaks my heart that you feel like you failed,” Jackie Collin Waddell said. “Eddy, you have accomplished an incredible feat already. It only makes sense to have a vehicle with you to get to the events on time and cover more ground. “Keep your chin up and visit those schools and inspire those kids to aim high. Anything is possible.” The car will offer Dostaler respite from harrowing weather certain to come in the winter months as he makes his way west across Quebec and into Ontario.
“I’ll be able to have a set schedule for two weeks,” he said. “I’ll drive out to the school and drive back to the spot [to continue running]. I’ll have a lot more planned events.” Anyone interested in driving can contact Dostaler on Facebook and donations are being accepted online at fasteddycanada. com. Dostaler is planning a 10-kilometre fun run on Saturday at Riverside Park, beginning at 10 a.m. His grandmother, who helped raise him and nicknamed him Fast Eddy as a child, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease last year. Dostaler dedicated one leg of his run to her. The other leg is dedicated to a former TRU professor, Tom Owen, who passed away of lung cancer and was an avid proponent for breast-cancer research. Heading into September, Dostaler said he had raised between $8,000 and $9,000. He left Kamloops with the goal of raising $250,000. “This is called adapting,” Dostaler said. “This is witnessing what went wrong and what can improve it, and knowing what’s best for the causes. “I’ll talk to schools on the way back [to Gander] and get the awareness going. That’s not something you can do if you’re solo and unsupported. To plan events, you need time. You have to have something that’s reliable. Running is not.”

Spences find podium The Spence sisters swept the podium in the women’s mass start event at the Speed Skating Canada Fall World Cup Selections in Calgary on Sunday. Josie, Victoria and Sara — each members of the Kamloops River City Racers — finished first, second and third, respectively. “The win means so much more to me because I had my sisters on the podium with me,” Josie said. “It’s encouraging and we’re pushing each other to be stronger.” Ivanie Blondin, the 2014-2015 overall World Cup champion in mass start, did not take part in Sunday’s race in that discipline, as she has already prequalified for this fall’s World Cups after winning a silver medal at the 2015 World Single Distance Championships.

TOUGH YEAR FOR RACIN’ JASON WHITE Racin’ Jason White had a disappointing season on the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series circuit. The Sun Peaks driver entered two races — the Leland Industries 300 presented by Johnsonville on the Sunset Speedway in Innisfil, Ont., on June 20 and the Pinty’s 250 at Kawartha Speedway in Fraserville, Ont., on Sept. 19 — and failed to finish in both. Drivetrain problems thwarted White in both races, with the transmission failing in June and the clutch faltering in September. White’s focus in 2015 was on taking over the family business, Powder Ventures Excavating, but he plans to race more in 2016. With more than 80 races already under his belt, White would like to reach 100 before he retires. His father, Marty, was inducted into the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame earlier this year, becoming the first motorsports racer to get the nod.

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks are hoping a visit from the NHL’s top team will help shake them from their homeice slumber. The Montreal Canadiens enter tonight’s game at Rogers Arena having won a franchiserecord nine straight games in regulation to open the season and are on the verge of joining elite company as one of only three teams to start a year with 10 consecutive victories. The Canucks (3-2-3), meanwhile, have blown third-period leads in three of their five home defeats, including Saturday’s 3-2 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings. “For us, it’s a great measuring stick [against] probably the best team in the league right now,’’ Vancouver forward Alexandre Burrows said after yesterday’s practice.
“We’ll try to end that streak.’’ Montreal is, of course, led by reining Vezina and Hart Trophy winner Carey Price, who has seven of his team’s nine wins, including two shutouts, to go along with a 1.29 goalagainst average and a .961 save percentage. A victory tonight would see the Canadiens join the 1993-1994 Toronto Maple Leafs and the 2006-2007 Buffalo Sabres as the only teams to start a season with 10 straight wins. “We’re not really focused on going 10 for 10, we’re just focused on the first shift of the game and executing the way we want to play,’’ said Montreal defenceman P.K. Subban. “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: All we’ve accomplished is to have a good start to the season — and that’s it.” The Canadiens are coming off a 5-3 home win over Toronto on Saturday that came on the heels of a 7-2 victory in Buffalo the night before. Tonight marks the start of a three-game road
trip through Western Canada that will also see Montreal visit the Edmonton Oilers and the Calgary Flames. “The majority of the games that we’ve won, we’ve earned those victories by the way we’ve played and the way we’ve executed,’’ Subban said. “When we’re a rested group I don’t think there’s a team in the league that can keep up with us when we’re playing our style.’’ Vancouver forward Brandon Prust, who was a member of the Canadiens for three seasons before a trade to the Canucks this summer, said he’s eager to face his old team and help end their impressive run. “We’re trying to get our home identity rolling,’’ said Prust. “We want teams coming in here knowing they’re in for a long night. I don’t think there’s a better time to turn things around than [Tuesday] night. Playing a team that’s 9-0-0, we’ve got a lot to prove.’’
Jays’ GM won’t talk contract GREGORY STRONG
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Alex Anthopoulos feels he’s starting to “hit his stride’’ as general manager of the Toronto Blue Jays. Whether he’ll be with the team for his peak years remains up in the air.
Anthopoulos didn’t shed any light on his contract status during his season wrapup news conference yesterday at Rogers Centre. The GM’s future has

become a front-burner topic since the Blue Jays were eliminated from the playoffs by the Kansas City Royals. Anthopoulos, whose deal expires at the end of the month, has said he’d like to return but he decided to put contract talks aside during the post-season so it wouldn’t become a distraction. He will be negotiating with new president Mark Shapiro, who will replace the retiring Paul Beeston next week. “That will be addressed at the appropriate time,’’ Anthopoulos said of his future with the team. “The appropriate time is not today.’’ The 38-year-old Montreal native helped end the team’s 22-year playoff drought by making some impressive off-season moves and then landing more top-flight talent at the trade deadline. Anthopoulos used a different approach over the last year and it paid off. “By design last off-season, we really targeted a certain type of player,’’ he said. “We walked away from a lot of players that were talented and productive that didn’t fit what
we were trying to do. I don’t know that as a GM I would have done that a few years earlier. “I was probably so caught up on value, contractual status, salary, things like that. You learn from your mistakes, you learn from some things if you don’t adjust.’’ Signing Canadian catcher Russell Martin and acquiring third baseman Josh Donaldson gave the clubhouse a different feel. The trade deadline acquisitions of David Price, Ben Revere, Troy Tulowitzki and others helped build on the team’s impressive core. With Donaldson and sluggers Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion powering the offence, Toronto won the American League East title with a 93-69 mark and beat Texas in the American League Division Series. The sting of watching the Royals play the New York Mets in the World Series will hurt for a little while. But the future looks bright in the Ontario capital. “I do think we’ve turned a corner as an organization,’’ Anthopoulos said. “I think we’re in a position to win for a long time.’’

Obituaries & In Memoriam MRS. PATRICIA (PAT) LORRAINE HOWIE (nee ALEXANDER) Mrs. Patricia (Pat) Lorraine Howie (nee Alexander) died in Kamloops at the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice House on October 18th, 2015 at the age of 61 years. She is survived and sadly missed by her loving husband James (Jim) Howie and her two sons Charles and Mathew. She leaves a sister Janet Graham (husband Rob) of London, Ontario and niece Holly. She leaves a very dear cousin Marilyn, and her daughter Nicky of Georgia, USA. She leaves her cousin David and wife Kate of Norwich, England. She will also be missed by numerous friends she has made throughout the years. She is predeceased by her father Thomas Alexander and her mother Marjorie Alexander. Pat was born and brought up in London and Byron, Ontario where she attended school and completed High School. She still is friends with childhood playmates from her days in Byron and her very special friend the Reverend George Morris her minister when she was growing up. She attended Nursing School at the St. Thomas Hospital and there she met another lifelong friend Sharon Sevilla whom she felt was like a sister to her. Finishing Nursing School, Pat became adventurous and applied for work with the United Church Hospital system and moved to Hazelton, BC in 1975, where she began a career working in different hospitals throughout the northern part of BC. In 1977 she went back to obtain her BSN from the University of Victoria and there met another of her friends, Bonnie Low. She returned to the United Church hospitals in 1979 working in Hazelton, Bella Coola and Bella Bella. While she was working in Hazelton, she met Jim who was doing an elective rotation of his medical school training.
Over the ensuing two years a long distance relationship with Jim developed with her working in northern BC and then going to work for the Grenfell Mission in Labrador and then to Edmonton and Calgary to work. While both were working in Calgary, Jim and Pat were married in 1982. After Jim finished his medical training in Calgary, they moved to Kamloops in 1983, where Pat worked at Royal Inland Hospital. Charles was born in 1984 and Mathew was born in 1986. Pat worked part time after the children were born in different parts of the Health system up to about 1997, when her adventurous spirit showed again. She went to train as a Nurse Practitioner and over the next years worked in Outposts throughout Northern BC, Yukon and the North West Territories until her health made her stop in 2005. Since she stopped working, she devoted her time to helping others and becoming more involved in her Church. Her last 5 years were trying and difficult for her and it was only in the past three months that she could not stay active and was hospitalized and eventually was in the Hospice. Pat’s three boys as she called them, want to thank her friend Marilyn Kennedy and Stella and the other ladies of Summit Baptist Church for all the fantastic support given to Pat and the family through the last three months in Hospital and Hospice. A big thank you to all the staff at Marjorie Willoughby for all the help to us and for Pat through a very difficult time and thanks to Jim’s past medical practice partner and friend and physician to Pat, Stan Fike. A Celebration of Life will be held on October 31st, 2015 at 1:00 pm at Summit Baptist Church with Pastor Harry Bicknell officiating. Should friends desire, donations can be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House or to the Foster Plan of Canada or any other charity in Pat’s name.

Mike will be remembered fondly for his adventures exploring the world on a bicycle, kayaking oceans and lakes, camping, fishing, and motorcycling throughout North America. He especially loved riding his bicycle in the Rockies. Mike made many connections and companions with like-minded travellers. He was very fond of New Zealand and Australia, and he would spend many Canadian winters down-under when not operating heavy equipment. He will be remembered as free spirit, a gentle, kind, and generous person. Mike shared a very close bond with his brother Mitchell (d: 1993) and sister-in-law Kris Zawaduk (d: 2013). He will be deeply missed by his family: parents Anthony and Verna, sister Cheryl Zawaduk (James Manson), nephew Zakary Zawaduk, niece Michaela Manson, and niece Alysha Zawaduk. There is no service by request. In lieu of flowers, and to celebrate Mike’s life, please consider donating to either The Scleroderma Society of Canada, 41King William Street, Suite 206, Hamilton, ON L8R 1A2 1-866-279-0632 or The BC Wildlife Federation, 101-9706 188th Street, Surrey, BC V4N 3M2 1-888-881-2293 “The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun”. – Into the Wild by Krakauer.

MARION FRANCIS (TEX) TRUDEAU (nee WENZOSKI) Tex is survived by her two sons Murray and Bob, Bob’s wife Jennifer (Tilley) and two grandchildren, Julia and Erin, and her brother, Tony Wenzoski of Golden. Born in Molson, Manitoba on October 2, 1928, to Frank and Pearl (nee Hrabarchuk) Wenzoski, she was pre-deceased by her husband Charlie in 2001, her sisters, Anne Lauzon and Vicki Wenzoski, and her brother Alex. Tex moved to North Kamloops in 1947 and worked for seven years at the Tranquille TB Sanitarium, where she met Charlie. After seeing her children well established in school, she finished her high school, and worked part time at Safety Mart Foods, followed by several years with Statistics Canada. Many will also remember her for her daily walks to the Overlander Bridge to read the Water Survey gauge that measured the level of the Thompson River, from 1972 to 1998. Mom loved her garden and the fruit from the many trees in it. She was renowned for her cooking and no one ever left hungry! She also loved hiking and camping in the mountains, and trips to the wilder parts of Canada, such as the Queen Charlottes, Yukon and NWT, and canoeing the Bowron Lakes. Thanks so very much to the many people at Pine Grove Care Centre who made Mom’s last seven years a little easier and more fun; to her doctors, Stan Fike and Mavis Hollman; and to her grand-daughter Julia; for all their support through Mom’s many years of severe arthritis. In lieu of flowers, an In Memoriam donation may be made to the Canadian Wildlife Federation, in memory of Marion. Condolences may be expressed at: www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Mom, you will be forever loved and never forgotten, a piece of you will always remain in our hearts.

Celebrating the remarkable life of Jann Bailey DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Jann Bailey was in a hurry to join the world. Born three months premature, she was so small she almost fit in godmother Beverly O’Sullivan’s hand when she wasn’t in the Hamilton hospital’s incubator, the first newborn to rely on the new piece of equipment bought in 1952. O’Sullivan told those gathered on Saturday for a memorial service for the long-time Kamloops Art gallery executive director that, even then, Bailey showed “incredible spirit.” The event in the theatre at the Coast
Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre featured a family — Bailey’s immediate family, her KAG family and her Kamloops family. Her sister Beth Austin, flanked by siblings Don and Cheryl, told stories of a young Jann who, wanting to skip class and go swimming, tried to hide her yellow polkadot bikini behind a trench coat, only to be caught by a suspicious nun wondering why such a heavy coat was needed in the blistering-hot heat. Austin talked of travelling with her sisters to amazing places, of visiting museums and art galleries, of drinking wine and enjoying fine food.
There were plenty memories of Jann Bailey at Saturday’s service, including a sign (left) that mirrored the fact Bailey was, of course, Kamloops Art Gallery executive director 24 hours a day, seven days a week. At right is just one of many awards Bailey received in her life.
And, she told of seeing a scar on her sister’s head as it was shaved during Bailey’s confrontation with leukaemia, a scar Austin had caused during a fight when they were both young. Austin talked about the phone call she received on Nov. 7, 2007, one that left

her devastated as she learned her baby sister was in hospital dealing with the leukaemia diagnosis, of flying across the continent from her home in Vermont, not knowing where she would stay or what the future held for Bailey. Other family members spoke as well, nephews and nieces who remembered an aunt who, during a dinner where obviously the parents weren’t there, offered two of them — then 13 and 15 — a sip of wine with the meal. “Aunt Jann, we’re kids, our parents won’t let us drink

This city is so much more beautiful because of Jann.” Mayor Peter Milobar and former mayor John Dormer echoed Lake’s sentiment that Bailey was “a force of nature. . . . She fought for what she knew would make us a better community.” During the service for Bailey, who died on Oct. 9, Lidia Kemeny, director of the Vancouver Foundation, announced it is giving the KAG $10,000 to create a fund named after Bailey.

Five British nationals dead after whale-watching boat sinks DIRK MEISSNER
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TOFINO — All five people who died after a whale-watching ship sank off the west coast of Vancouver Island were British nationals, Britain’s Foreign Office confirmed yesterday. “My thoughts are with the family and friends of all those affected by this terrible accident,’’ British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said in a statement, adding consular staff in B.C. are supporting grieving family members. The B.C. Coroners Service said those who died ranged in age from 18 to 76 and that four of them were men. Three of the dead where from Britain, while two of the British Nationals were living in Canada. The woman was from B.C. and a man lived in Ontario, the service said. A tour boat with 24 passengers and three crew members on board sank Sunday afternoon about 15 kilometres northwest of Tofino. First responders rescued 21 passengers, some of them injured. The search for one
person still missing was called off Sunday night. Boats from the nearby Ahousaht First Nation that answered the ship’s mayday call on Sunday around 4 p.m. found it partially submerged. Authorities have not said what might have caused the boat to sink. Valerie Wilson, with the Island Health authority, said four people remain in different hospitals around the province. All of them are listed in stable condition, she said. Wilson said 18 other people aboard the vessel have been assessed, treated and released from hospital in Tofino. Robert Burridge of Nanaimo, B.C., was in Ahousaht on Sunday afternoon and estimates every available vessel in the village was in the water searching. Ahousaht First Nation Coun. Tom Campbell was on the Tofino waterfront and watched as rescue personnel brought several of the survivors ashore. “Their looks tell the whole story,’’ he said by phone from Tofino. “You can’t describe
looks on people that are lost. They look totally lost — shocked and lost.’’ The 20-metre boat — the Leviathan II — belonged to a local whale-watching company called Jamie’s Whaling Station. It issued a statement saying its entire team was heartbroken by the tragic day. “We are doing everything we can to assist our passengers and staff through this difficult time,’’ owner Jamie Bray said. “We are co-operating with investigators to determine exactly what happened.’’ Bray offered his thanks to first responders, Tofino residents and local First Nations communities that helped with the rescue. The mayor of Tofino also commended locals for their contributions. “Everybody’s heart is just breaking for what’s going on here and wanting to be as helpful as possible,’’ Josie Osborne said by phone late Sunday. Michael Harris, executive director of the Pacific Whale Watching Association, said the whale-watch-
ing community is in shock over the incident. He said tour operators go above and beyond to make sure their passengers are safe. Harris said the first thing operators do when passengers get on board is explain safety, including where the life-jackets are kept. It’s unclear if the passengers on the Leviathan were wearing life-jackets. Both Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau and B.C. Premier Christy Clark issued statements about the tragedy. “I was shocked and saddened to hear of the sinking of a whalewatching boat near the B.C. coast and the passengers aboard who have lost their lives in the incident,’’ Trudeau said. Both Trudeau and the premier thanked people who helped in the rescue effort. Investigators with the Transportation Safety Board were expected to be in Tofino by yesterday afternoon. Tofino residents
PROCESSED, RED MEAT LINKED TO CANCERS THE CANADIAN PRESS
PARIS — It’s official: Ham, sausage and other processed meats can lead to colon, stomach and other cancers — and red meat is probably cancer-causing, too. While doctors have long warned against eating too much meat, the World Health Organization’s (WHO) cancer agency gave the most definitive response yet Monday about its relation to cancer — and put
processed meats in the same danger category as cigarettes or asbestos. A group of 22 scientists from the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France evaluated more than 800 studies from several continents about meat and cancer. Based on that evaluation, they classified processed meat as “carcinogenic to humans’’ and red meat as “probably carcinogenic.’’ Meat industry groups protest
the classification. The North American Meat Institute argued in a statement that “cancer is a complex disease not caused by single foods’’ and stressed the importance of lifestyle and environmental factors. Doctors have warned that a diet loaded with red meat is linked to cancers, including those of the colon and pancreas. The American Cancer Society has long urged people to reduce consumption of red meat and processed meat.

NATIONAL NEWS
Community mailbox program suspended TRUDEAU AND THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The country’s national mail carrier has halted the installation of community mailboxes, one week after the Trudeau Liberals were elected with a pledge to scrap the move away from door-to-door delivery. “Canada Post is temporarily suspending future deployment of the program to convert door-to-door mail delivery to community mailboxes,’’ the Crown agency said in an emailed statement. The move means nearly half a million households that were to be converted over the next two months will keep their current mail service. “Efforts are now underway to place the comprehensive program on hold in an orderly fashion,’’ said the statement. “Customers impacted by this decision will receive a letter within the next few weeks advising them of the status of their mail delivery service.’’ But, those already converted over the last 10 months will not get door-to-door service back — at least not
under Canada Post’s current plan. The union representing postal employees said it was elated with the news. But the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) will be pushing the Liberal government to reverse cuts to postal services made so far, said the organization’s national president. “I think the people of this country spoke quite clearly last Monday,’’ said Mike Palecek. “We also need to look at restoring the home mail delivery to those who have already lost it. “And we need to look at having a public mandate review for Canada Post about exactly what direction we want this Crown corporation to go.’’ CUPW has been pushing Canada Post to expand its business into ventures such as postal banking services, similar to those adopted in other countries including the United Kingdom and France. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau promised during the election campaign to reverse
cuts to door-to-door mail delivery that began under the Conservative government. And, with the Liberals elected to a majority government, some Liberal MPs said they were getting an earful from constituents who wanted to know why the boxes were still being installed. There were several localized protests against the installations in Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador, with some people defiantly taking to standing or lying on dirt piles to prevent workers from placing cement foundations for the mailboxes. Canada Post, however, was adamant it was moving ahead with the mailbox conversions, telling CUPW late last week — after the election results were known — that it would not back away from the plan. It also placed ads to hire door-to-door canvassers to sell the merits of community mail delivery in B.C. But late yesterday, the Crown agency said it would rethink its plan. “We will work collaboratively with the Government of
Canada to determine the best path forward given the ongoing challenges faced by the Canadian postal system,’’ the corporation said. Canada Post has been warning it expects home mail delivery revenues to continue declining. It announced in 2013 a plan to phase out door-todoor delivery and cut up to 8,000 jobs, mainly through attrition. The corporation said it handled nearly 1.2 billion fewer pieces of mail in 2013 than in 2006. Canada Post Group reported in May letter mail volumes fell 8.4 per cent in the first quarter of 2015, or by 41 million pieces, compared with the same period a year earlier. At the same time, however, the agency said it recorded a 10-per-cent increase in overall revenues and a before-tax profit of $24 million in the first three months of the year, contrasting with a $37-million loss during the same quarter in 2014. Canada Post Group includes the Canada Post mail service, Purolator and other businesses.

FAMILY TO LIVE IN RIDEAU COTTAGE NOT 24 SUSSEX
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau will not move into the traditional prime minister’s residence at 24 Sussex Drive. Instead, the prime minister-designate and his family will live, until further notice, in Rideau Cottage, a 19th century home located on the grounds of Rideau Hall, the Governor General’s residence. The cottage is actually a two-storey Georgian Revival brick home built in 1866-67 to serve as a home for the secretary to the governor general. The residence at 24 Sussex has been in need of repairs for years. The Liberals say Trudeau will make decisions regarding
JUSTIN TRUDEAU Prime minister-designate
24 Sussex once he has been fully briefed by officials. In 2008, the National Capital Commission estimated repairs would cost about $10 million and would require full access to the residence for a minimum of 12 to 15 months. Trudeau has rented a home in Ottawa’s upscale Rockcliffe Park neighbourhood since 2013.
