A former New Zealand politician charged with firstdegree murder in the 2010 drowning death of his wife in a B.C. lake killed out of greed, a jury has been told. Peter Beckett’s trial began this week in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops with a lengthy opening statement from Crown prosecutor Sarah Firestone. “The case you’re about to hear is not a ‘whodunit,’” she told the 14 jurors. “The case you’re about to hear is, rather, a ‘what happened.’” Beckett, 59, was charged a year after his wife, Laura Letts-Beckett, drowned on Upper Arrow Lake near Revelstoke. Firestone outlined the For updated stories on case against Beckett, which the murder trial of Peter includes wiretaps, an Beckett (above in a dated exhaustive financial invesphoto), go online to tigation and a jailhouse kamloopsthisweek.com. snitch. “The accused killed Laura Letts deliberately for financial gain,” she said, noting he hoped to benefit from her family inheritance and insurance payouts. “He would also collect her schoolteacher’s pension for the rest of his days, which he would spend in the house she owned when they married.” Firestone said Beckett took out a number of lifeinsurance policies and accidental-death benefits on his wife between 2007 and 2010, the final one going into effect the month before Letts-Beckett died. Firestone said Beckett claimed to have no knowledge of the final insurance policy. See TRIAL A6

The city’s parks department wants a $50,000-per-year maintenance fund created to help cover the cost of cleaning up after events in Riverside Park, such as the annual Rotary Ribfest. While Coun. Tina Lange suggested the city close lesser-used parks instead, Coun, Denis Walsh argued Ribfest organizers should be paying more to use the park. KTW FILE PHOTO

LANGE: ‘GET RID OF A FEW OF THE PARKS’ ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops city councillor believes the city should look at closing some of its lesserused parks to offset calls for more money to be spent on Riverside Park. Coun. Tina Lange told council Tuesday she wants to see the city’s parks department look at cost-cutting measures, including park closures, after staff requested a new $50,000 per-year maintenance fund for Riverside Park as part of this year’s supplemental budget list. “Every year comes these asks for more staff, more equipment and more budget, and on and on it goes. I don’t think we can continue to do that,” Lange said, noting council gave the department a maintenance budget increase last year. “At this point, we have more parks per person than anywhere in Canada, I believe, so it wouldn’t hurt to get rid of a few of the parks.” The maintenance fund is one of about $3.5 million in supplemental budget items council must decide whether to keep or cut

over the next several months. Funding for the items can come from a variety of sources, including government grants, reserves and tax dollars. Council took its first look at the list in a special meeting Tuesday. According to a staff report, the parks, recreation and cultural-services department wants the additional funds to repair damage from city events in the park and to do repairs on the Rivers Trail. “Park visitor levels continue to grow due to population growth and increasing numbers of event participants” making maintenance more expensive, the report states. Coun. Denis Walsh said the city needs to look at getting some of that money back by asking for more in fees from the Rotary Ribfest, a popular community event held in the park each summer. Parks director Byron McCorkell said the Kamloops Rotary Club isn’t charged to use the park beyond a $17 permit because it uses its proceeds from the event for community grants. “To me, these guys are making out like bandits,” Walsh said. “They’re making all this money, they’re

paying $17 and now we’re going to the taxpayers for another $50,000 to repair the parks after these kind of events.” Walsh said the Rotary Club shouldn’t be using barbecuers from outside the city and should instead consider a model similar to the multicultural foodfest held during Canada Day celebrations. And, he added, if the club wants to bring in outside food vendors, those vendors should be prepared to pay fees. “It’s costing us money to put it on so these five entrepreneurs can take major bucks out of the city,” Walsh said. Councillors Donovan Cavers and Marg Spina said they would also be in favour of looking at some sort of event-cleanup fee for using Riverside Park. “There’s turf damage after all kinds of events but, after Ribfest, there were mud patches under the areas where the vendors were set up,” Cavers said. McCorkell said the $50,000 maintenance fund would also go to clean up other events, such as Canada Day celebrations, which cost the city about $30,000 to stage and clean up.

The Monte Creek Ranch Winery nine kilometres east of Kamloops has applied for rezoning in a bid to build an amphitheatre, outdoor-assembly venue and restaurant at its Miner’s Bluff Road operation. The application will go to the ThompsonNicola Regional District’s board of directors meeting today, with staff recommending the matter be forwarded to the Agricultural Land Commission for consideration. The proposed amphitheatre would have seating for 500 and would host live music and theatre — a maximum of six events annually — with the bandshell to the south of the winery building. It would be built in a naturally occurring depression that Erik Fisher, general manager of Monte Creek Ranch, said is unusable as agricultural land. “We think it would be really special for the region and it would attract everything from Blue Rodeo to the Kamloops Symphony to other theatre groups,” he said. “You look at Mission Hill and CedarCreek and Tinhorn Creek, they all have amphitheatres and

they’re really well-known and established wineries. It’s a program they’ve been able to execute really well.” The TNRD’s director of development echoed Fisher’s comments. “In other parts of the province, and in Ontario in their wine-growing area, there’s a lot of these hybrid agricultural-business-commercial developments and they have been proven to be successful,” Regina Sadilkova told KTW. “We think it would add to the Kamloops Wine Trail and it would broaden some of the uses the Okanagan are enjoying commercially to this area.” Given the land on which the amphitheatre would be built is in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), Monte Creek needs approval from the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) to use it for non-farming purposes. From 2009 to 2014, 14 non-farm use applications were sent to the ALC by the TNRD, 11 of which were approved. Sadilkova is unsure how the commission would rule on the Monte Creek proposal, however, given the restructuring and change of leadership the board underwent in March of 2014. Monte Creek Ranch Winery has been owned by the Sidhu family — Gurdev, Surjeet, Gurjit, Jas

and Simmy — since 2009. The winery officially opened last year. Should its application be approved by the ALC and for rezoning, Fisher said Monte Creek would hope to have the amphitheatre operational by 2017. According to Brendan Shaw, who championed the Yes Campaign during November’s performingarts centre referendum, the amphitheatre would be a welcome addition to Kamloops. But, the local real-estate agent added, it will not satisfy the city’s need for an arts centre. “I think both amphitheatres are fantastic for Kamloops, but they still don’t address the specific needs that these individual groups have,” Shaw said, referring to the plans at Monte Creek and Cascades Casino. “Especially being outdoors, due to seasonal restrictions, there’s only a certain time of the year when they can use them,” he said. Monte Creek’s restaurant is a longer-term project and would be built adjacent to the winery building, while the outdoor venue would host weddings, parties and corporate events in an area next to the winery building. Events would be limited to liquor-licence hours (10 a.m. to 11 p.m.) and have a capacity of 143. A maximum of 40 weddings per year is part of the proposal.

15-MONTH-OLD AWAKENS PARENTS AMID CARBON-MONOXIDE LEAK

Only the Bible and all of the Bible EVERYONE WELCOME ~ No Collection

Kyle and Monique Ruppel and daughter Celia undergo treatment in a hyperbaric chamber at Vancouver General Hospital.

STEPHANIE IP

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Most new parents can’t wait until their baby finally sleeps through the night without stirring — but not Monique and Kyle Ruppel. “I don’t care if she never sleeps through the night ever again because her waking up is the only thing that saved us,” said her mom. Because 15-monthold Celia woke in the middle of the night, the Ruppels — along with their four cats and two dogs — escaped carbon monoxide poisoning in their Dufferin home. They are now urging everyone to ensure their gas detectors are installed and working properly. “Our house is 26 years old and we didn’t have any carbon-monoxide detectors,” said Kyle, a construction estimator. “I think it was one of those things that never crossed our minds.” In the early hours of Friday, Jan. 15, Monique awoke to the sound of her baby girl crying for the second

time that night. Before making it to the bedroom door, she was hit by vertigo and collapsed on to the bed, waking her husband. “We quickly realized we both felt the same way — we both had vertigo, we both had pounding headaches, our eyes were burning,” Monique said. When she reached Celia’s crib and picked her up, the child began to vomit. “At that same moment, one of my cats had collapsed at my feet and she was flat on the floor,” Monique said. “That was when we got pretty hysterical and realized something

we invite you to come and hear

pretty serious was going on.” Her husband called his parents to pick them up, and the couple packed overnight bags and prepared to get into their truck. The grandparents arrived just as Kyle began to black out. “I remember thinking in that moment, ‘Is this what it feels like to die?’” he recalled. “Because there was nothing I could do to make my body respond to what my mind was telling me.” His dad called 911 and the young family was rushed to Royal Inland Hospital in an ambulance.

After a quick assessment, Celia and her parents were flown Vancouver. By noon Friday, they were undergoing oxygen therapy at Vancouver General Hospital. Monique’s coworkers at a veterinary clinic took over care of the animals and, by Saturday night, all humans and animals had recovered and were back at home. Throughout the ordeal, Monique said, Celia has been “the best baby.” “She was so compliant with having blood taken and just smiles, and has put up with so much.”

“Thank God for Celia. She’s our little guardian angel,” Monique said. “That’s how we look at it. She absolutely saved our lives and she doesn’t even know it.” While in Vancouver, the Ruppels learned firefighters couldn’t even get past the home’s front door without their handheld carbon monoxide detectors going off. The couple is pleading with friends and family not to delay installing or checking carbon-monoxide detectors. The Ruppels have also replaced their furnace, which was the source of the gas leak, and have installed three new detectors in their home. “Don’t put it off as one of those things you can do later,” Kyle said. “It’s one of those things you need to do, and you need to do it today — because tomorrow might be too late.”

What causes carbon monoxide poisoning? It can come from any source of burning fuel, such as cars, fireplaces, power boats, wood stoves, kerosene space heaters, charcoal grills, and gas appliances such as water heaters, ovens, and dryers. Problems arise when any of these are left running in enclosed spaces where carbon monoxide can build up, or if any of these items malfunction and gas begins to leak.

But, she said, police found his fingerprints on the document. Jurors were told Beckett was not immediately a suspect. He described the incident at times as an accident or suicide, Firestone said. “One by one, certain police officers and civilians began to realize that the version of events painted by Mr. Beckett about the events of Aug. 18, 2010, were not accu-

rate,” she said. Beckett was arrested in August 2011. The first witness called by the Crown on Tuesday was Beth Letts, Letts-Beckett’s mother. Letts described to jurors how her daughter met Beckett while travelling in New Zealand in 1995. Five years later, Beckett began making regular trips to Westlock, Alta., where Letts-Beckett worked as a schoolteacher. The couple wed in 2003. Letts said their relationship was a good one at first. She said Beckett eventually became “overbearing and domineering.” Letts-Beckett filed a police report in September 2007, alleging physical abuse at the hands of Beckett. Letts said she was at the Westlock RCMP detachment when her daughter made her statement to police. “Laura was upset,” she said. “She was crying. He [the officer] kept saying to her, ‘Laura, it’s not your fault.’ “He suggested to her that she leave the relationship. He said, ‘I do not want to be dealing with a homicide later, Laura, and I strongly sug-

gest that you do not go back.’” Letts said her daughter and Beckett separated for about three months in late 2007, reuniting in January 2008. While they were separated, she said, LettsBeckett came clean to her family about the fact Beckett had been married previously — something to which the Letts were staunchly opposed. Letts said her relationship with her daughter after she reconciled with Beckett consisted only of birthday cards until a phone call on Mother’s Day in 2010. Less than four months later, Beckett called the Letts to say their daughter was dead. The second Crown witness, Virginia LyonsFriesen, testified about a heated argument she watched between Beckett and Letts-Beckett. Lyons-Friesen, LettsBeckett’s cousin and close friend, said the incident took place during small-talk following a dinner at her Calgary condo in October 2007. “The conversation changed abruptly,” she said. “Laura shared some things that were a problem in their marriage — problems they were having — and opened

up. She shared a little bit, he shared a little bit.” Lyons-Friesen said things quickly worsened. “It escalated from that into the most horrific argument I’ve ever seen with a married couple,” she said. “She said that he had physically abused her. He denied it. She said, ‘Peter, you know you did.’ “He called her names. He called her a cow over and over and over. ‘You’re just a cow, you’re just a cow.’ He said, ‘You’re not nearly as good as my first wife was. I should have stayed with her.’ “It was just a barrage of things.” During cross-examination under defence lawyer Turko, LyonsFriesen denied shunning Letts-Beckett, but admitted she had contact with her cousin only once after she reconciled with Beckett in 2008. Lyons-Friesen, who grew up in the same conservative Christian sect as Letts-Beckett, also denied she was shunned after she split up with her first husband. She did admit, however, that some of her family members were “disappointed” when her marriage ended. The Crown expects to call 50 witnesses in the trial, which is slated to last three months.

Interior Health begins Dates set for public meetings review of mine bid ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

With KGHM Ajax’s application for environmental review of its proposed mine now filed with the provincial and federal governments, Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi and his team at Interior Health can go to work. Golmohammadi is the medical officer of health leading IHA’s review of the healthrelated portions of the Ajax application. Golmohammadi told KTW he will be conducting the review with two to three environmental health officers. He will also have the option to call in the B.C. Centre for Disease Control for a second opinion. The team won’t con-

duct new research as part of its review, but will review the findings and methodology used in Ajax’s application. KGHM Ajax has said its application shows the mine will have no impacts on human health. “We have our own standards,” Golmohammadi said. “For example, we have a clear understanding of what is the maximum acceptable concentration of certain contaminants in our environment and many, many different standards and processes that we have in place to work with the document.” Golmohammadi said his team will focus on whether the mine could contaminate the air, soil or water in the Kamloops area.

Any questions or concerns raised by the application, as well as an overall recommendation on the mine, will go to the B.C. Environmental Assessment office and Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. They will also go to Kamloops city council, which earlier this month decided to request a review of the Ajax application on its behalf. Coun. Ken Christian said while IHA would have reviewed the mine’s health reports in any event, the request from the city will ensure results of the review are made public through a presentation to council. “I don’t want them in the background,” Christian said. “I want them here.”

A call to halt process A number of groups critical of the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine are calling for earlier release of the full economic feasibility study — and for the federal and provincial governments to stop the review period on the application until the study is made public. KGHM Ajax junior partner Abacus Mineral Exploration released a summary last week of the feasibility study. That study showed project costs to construct the mine have ballooned more than 60 per cent, to $1.4 billion, and payback won’t occur until 6.5 years of operation. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com for the full story.

The public-comment period for KGHM Ajax’s mine application will take place from Jan. 26 to April 11. Comments need only be submitted once to either the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency or the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office to be considered for both the provincial and federal environmental assessments. All comments received will be considered public and will be posted online. Written comments can be submitted to: Ajax Mine Project, Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, 410-701 West Georgia St., Vancouver, V7Y 1C6. Its fax number is 1-604666-6990. Its email address is Ajax@ceaaacee.gc.ca. Written comments can also be submitted to: Ajax Mine Project Environmental Assessment Office, P.O. Box 9426 Stn Prov Govt., Victoria, V8W 9V1. Its fax number is 250-3872208. Its website is eao. gov.bc.ca. In addition, information sessions will be held during the comment period. Representatives from the provincial and federal governments and from KGHM Ajax will be at the following sessions

to answer questions from the public: Technical presentations by the proponent will be held at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre at 1250 Rogers Way on

Tuesday, Feb. 16 (4 p.m. to 10 p.m.) and on Wednesday, Feb. 17 (noon to 6 p.m.). Information sessions consisting of booths and posters with information on the project

and the co-operative environmental assessment will be held at the same venue on Tuesday, March 15 (2 p.m. to 8 p.m.) and on Wednesday, March 16 (2 p.m. to 8 p.m.).

YOU HAVE 75 DAYS TO SPEAK UP

s one online reader at kamloopsthisweek.com noted: “Now we go from ‘wait for the studies’ to ‘go read the studies.’” And plenty of reading lies ahead for those wishing to know more about what the experts hired by KGHM Ajax have concluded about the effects of the proposed copper and gold

mine. The mining company finally filed its application to senior levels of government this week — an 18,000-page document that has been condensed by the proponent into 47 plain-language summaries and attached fact sheets. There is a lot of information — on traffic, air quality, water quality, noise, vibrations, dust and much, much more. Even digesting the summaries is a monumental task and many have done so. Predictably, individuals and groups opposed to the mine have put forth much criticism of the application, founded mainly on the fact the findings are based on modelling and the fact the data presented came from experts paid by KGHM Ajax. According to KGHM Ajax, the information in the massive application comes to a simple conclusion: operation of the mine will have little to no impact on the health of Kamloopsians. According to critics, no amount of modelling data will convince them an open-pit mine a few kilometres from homes is a safe venture. The process that remains is lengthy. It consists of a 180-day review period, which itself includes a 75-day public-comment period that runs from Jan. 26 to April 11. There will also be four public-information sessions, on Feb. 16 and Feb. 17 and on March 15 and March 16 at the Coast Hotel and Conference Centre. Chances are nothing presented at those meetings will change the opinions of either those adamantly opposed to Ajax or those who see the mine as a needed economic generator. But, for those still undecided, the 75-day public-comment period is their opportunity to have their voices heard. Take advantage of it.

For too many, it is -30-

n September 1973, I walked into a newsroom for the first time. Being still in my teens, it was an intimidating many steps into the vast expanse populated by mostly white males in black suits, most of them smoking and all of them intently bent over their Underwood typewriters or talking on their phones. Among that population of close to 150 people, there was a scattering of females, most in what was called the lifestyles department — although at least one had somehow broken through the mostly male wall to land a spot on the night copydesk rim. My first beat — something that seems appropriate given where my final years in this business are focused — was to work with another recent hire to create a community-news feature. It would run every day, was to be short and was to include at least 10 items. The reason, my colleague and I were told, was because it was important to the newspaper to truly connect with its readers through more than just beat and feature reporters. Through the years, our newsroom was always ahead of many others in the business. We had our own plane and journalist/pilot. We were on computers long before other newspapers adopted this new and strange technology. One of our reporters didn’t drive, but took cabs to

Street

LEVEL assignments with the blessing of the editor and owner. He believed he had a duty to provide what we needed for us to get out and do our jobs, calling politicians and their ilk into accountability, telling the stories from school boards, city hall, the police and fire stations, community groups and the average Joe or Jane on the street who had a compelling tale society needed to read. We were able to do this for several reasons, each of them now long gone in our industry. Our owner inherited the media companies — newspaper, radio and television stations — from his father. He had grown up in a family that realized journalism mattered. It was integral to democracy and to understanding the world around us. Foremost in what created this workplace was our owner’s belief an eight per cent return on his investment was just fine with him. Perhaps that’s because he invested so much in us.

This week, I count myself blessed to have spent so many years working for that man and, later, his daughter and son-inlaw. They knew why journalism is important and they fed it to let it bloom. I also count myself lucky I left there right before the next generation of the family sold the newspaper to Quebecor. That sale marked the end of those great days for many of my friends who remained with the paper. The newsroom has now shrunk from triple to low double digits. The presses aren’t just silent; they’re long gone. During my final years, I witnessed the production department end. I saw the fleet of delivery drivers let go. I watched as contractors replaced those wonderful and dedicated carriers who had delivered 140,000 newspapers every day. Our editorial assistants were laid off. This week’s layoffs at the Postmedia chain of newspapers have dealt a huge blow to the public’s right to be informed. The decision by non-media managers who pocket six-digit bonuses also betrays people who built the industry they are now taking apart. People like my former publisher and all those great editors and reporters. People who knew good journalism matters. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

MORE ABOUT THAT OLD SAWMILL SITE Editor: Re: The Jan. 14 front-page article on the sale of the former Weyerhauser sawmill property on Mission Flats (‘Former Weyco site sells for $5.1 million’): The article erroneously stated the property was home to a sawmill since the 1960s. Based on research of past newspapers, a mill was constructed on the site in fall of 1942, with the first steam generated in June 1943. Operators of the mill were N. Bessette and sons A.J. Bessette and C.J. Bessette. Bessette Sawmills Ltd. was next operating as The Co-Operative Lumber Association in November 1943 and the business under that name was purchased by B.C. Interior Sawmills Ltd. in March 1947, with C.J. and A.J. Bessette the managers. It appears the sawmill was marking its 20th anniversary in 1967. The outstanding shares of B.C. Interior

Sawmills Ltd. were acquired by Weyerhaeuser in 1970, as announced by T.G. Rust, president and CEO of Kamloops Pulp & Paper Ltd. Neil Burton Kamloops Editor: I enjoyed KTW’s article of Jan. 14 (‘Former Weyco site sells for $5.1 million’) and would like to make a correction or two. The site was originally purchased in 1943 by the Bessette family from Lumby. They built a small box factory and a small sawmill on that site. They made wood apple boxes for the orchards in Kamloops. I’m not sure how long the boxes were manufactured, but they eventually closed the box factory and expanded the sawmill, which was called B.C. Interior Sawmill — usually referred to as B.C.I.

Logging trucks would dump the logs into the river for the mill. The mill was eventually bought by Weyerhaeuser in the winter of either 1971 or 1972. My husband, Ben DeMarni, worked for B.C.I. and then Weyerhaeuser for 43 years. He and his family lived beside the mill since 1950, so he knows a lot of history of the Mission Flats area. When we were married in 1963, we spent the first year of our life together in a small mill-owned house that stood on the mill site, right by the river. That house, and one beside it, were torn down in late 1964 for further mill expansion. The mill had several newer homes that were closer to the road that leads to the pulp mill and these were rented to mill employees. Donna DeMarni Kamloops

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Pest Management Plan: BC Hydro Facilities 2016-2021

The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the Pest Management Plan (PMP) applies. The purpose of the proposed PMP is to control vegetation at BC Hydro facilities to maintain safe and reliable operations which support the delivery of electricity to our customers. This plan applies to all areas of British Columbia where BC Hydro has operational or planned facilities such as electrical substations, generation switchyards, generating sites, communication sites, storage sites, administrative buildings, or land owned or leased for future facilities. The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 2016 to April 2021. Vegetation incompatible with the operation of the power system will be controlled using: physical (manual brushing, girdling, hand-pulling, hedge trimming, mowing, pruning, weed trimming or tree removal), cultural (gravel/hard surfacing, planting ground cover), biological (release of parasitic insects to control noxious and invasive plants) or chemical (herbicide application) techniques, or any combination of these methods. The active ingredients and trade names of the herbicides proposed for use under this plan include: ○ acetic acid – Ecoclear, Munger’s Hort Vinegar or equivalent, ○ aminocyclopyrachlor and chlorsulfuron – Truvist or equivalent ○ aminocyclopyrachlor and metsulfuron-methyl – Navius or equivalent ○ aminopyralid – Milestone or equivalent ○ aminopyralid and metsulfuron-methyl – ClearView or equivalent ○ aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl, and fluroxypyr – Sightline or equivalent ○ aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl and triclopyr – Clearview Brush or equivalent ○ Chlorsulfuron – Telar or equivalent ○ Chondrostereum purpureum – Chontrol or equivalent ○ clopyralid – Lontrel, Transline or equivalent or equivalent ○ dicamba – Vanquish, Banvel or equivalent ○ dichlorprop-P and 2,4-D – Estaprop XT or equivalent ○ diflufenzopyr and dicamba – Distinct, Overdrive or equivalent ○ diuron – Karmex, Diurex 80 WDG or equivalent ○ flumioxazin – Payload or equivalent ○ glyphosate – Vantage, Vision or equivalent ○ imazapyr – Arsenal Powerline or equivalent ○ indaziflam – Esplanade or equivalent ○ metsulfuron-methyl – Escort or equivalent ○ picloram – Tordon 22k, Tordon 101 or equivalent ○ picloram and 2,4-D – Aspect or equivalent ○ triclopyr – Garlon products or equivalent ○ Trifluralin – BioBarriere, Treflan or equivalent ○ 2,4-D – LV700 or equivalent Adjuvant products may also be combined on occasion with a herbicide to improve its effectiveness, such as: nonylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol – Agral 90, paraffinic oils – Gateway, octadec-9-enoic acid as methyl

Robber who tipped generously gets five years in jail CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A robber who fled a downtown Kamloops bank and went to a pub a block away — where he tipped the staff generously — was sentenced Tuesday to five years in jail. Donald Maxwell Brody, 36, pleaded guilty to robbery in March 2014. He has 40 criminal convictions, including eight for assaults and two for robbery. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley called it “a clumsy act with little or no foresight.” Court heard Brody was at the McDonald’s restaurant at Victoria Street and Third Avenue when he was contacted by a friend who needed money. Brody had only been released from jail a week earlier and was on terms of probation. He walked to the CIBC bank across the street and waited in line — “somewhat impatiently,” Dley said — before giving up and crossing the street to the Bank of Nova Scotia, where there was no lineup. “He went to the first teller and told her it was a robbery,” Dley said. Brody, whose face and neck are covered in tattoos, did not hide his appearance nor produce a weapon. Dley said the teller told Brody she couldn’t open the till without a manager’s approval and left her station to report the robbery in progress. Brody then went to the next teller and repeated his threat. That teller handed Brody about $1,000 in marked bills. Brody left the bank to go to Central Pub, located a block away at Lansdowne Street and Fourth Avenue, “where he was polite with the bar staff and left generous tips,” Dley said. RCMP arrested Brody the next day when he admitted to the robbery. Dley said while Brody has been co-operative, his lengthy record and history of impulsive and sometimes violent behaviour needs to be condemned. He was sentenced to five years prison, but has already served the equivalent of two-and-a-half years in jail. Brody was also give a lifetime firearms ban. Defence lawyer John Gustafson said Brody had a dysfunctional childhood and only recently has been successfully treated with medication for attentiondeficit disorder.

The B.C. government is planning to catch up on its long-standing nursing shortage by hiring 1,643 full-time registered nurses by the end of March. As of Wednesday, the Interior Health Authority had already made 106 offers to nurses, some of them now in casual positions and some who would be new to the health authority. Health Minister Terry Lake, accompanied by B.C. Nurses’ Union president Gayle Duteil, announced the plan on Tuesday. By region, the plan targets recruiting of 300 nurses for Interior Health, 400 for Fraser Health, 290 for Island Health, 100 for Northern Health, 235 for Vancouver Coastal Health, 238 for the Provincial Health Authority and 80 for Providence Health Care, which runs St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver. Susan Brown, the IHA’s chief operating officer, said all health authorities knew for some time the announcement was coming and, in their budgeting processes in recent months, made provisions for the costs the additional 300 nurses will bring to the bal-

ance sheets. Some of the offers to nurses have been accepted, Brown said, noting nurses in casual positions looking for full-time employment should contact their union soon. Brown said another aspect the IHA is looking at is in education for specialty nursing fields and how to expand it. “We’re on our way. We’ll do everything we can full thrust to meet the March deadline.” Adding the nurses to the province’s health-care system is good news for the faculty in Kamloops that teaches them their craft. Donna Murnaghan, dean of nursing at Thompson Rivers University, said her program has 82 new nurses graduating this year. She hopes to see the program expanded, adding more spaces for the bachelor of science in nursing students and adding a master of science in the discipline. Duteil praised the move, which will be done in partnership with her union, the province’s health authorities, the Health Employees’ Union and the Provincial Health Services Authority. She said 16-hour shifts “are the new norm and the sad part is working a 16-hour shift and then being asked to do it again the next day.”

Lake said a variety of positions will be available, but noted there are nursing shortages in operating rooms and in neonatal and specialty areas. With an estimated 7,000 nurses working casually, it’s expected many of them will apply for fulltime jobs, Lake said. Former B.C. residents returning to the province from Alberta could provide another employee pool, but the jobs will be open for anyone interested in applying. Michael Marchbank, CEO of the Fraser Health Authority, accompanied Lake and Duteil to the press conference. When asked the cost of the anticipated 400 more nurses for his region, he said the average total compensation package for a nurse is about $100,000 a year. Lake said since 2001, the number of nurses in the health-care system has doubled and the province has added about $200 million to educate, recruit and retain them. He said each health authority has the capacity to pay for the additional nurses, but noted with health budgets being challenged in the future, there is a need to improve the system by expanding and using home and community health-care when possible.

Clean-up in Kenna this week

In an effort to reduce the potential for forest fires, City of Kamloops crews

will be working in Kenna Cartwright Park this week. Clean-up will involve removing dead pine beetleaffected trees, removing dead

lower limbs from live trees and thinning some of the thicker stands. The material will be piled and burned to reduce the risk of fires.

The area affected will be above Ponderosa Trail in the area of Big Pine Trail. Park users are asked to use alternative routes and be

aware of machinery working. The work will begin today and is expected to last into next week. For further information, residents

can call 250-8283317.

Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod is launching the MP Youth Awards for the riding. “Young Canadians are heavily involved in a variety of fields and often do so quietly, without a great deal of recognition,” McLeod said. Intended for youth in elementary, middle and secondary school, the awards will recognize local leaders in a number of specific fields, including volunteerism, agriculture, science and environment, arts and culture, sports and caring. An independent panel will join McLeod in reviewing the submissions to determine who will receive each award at a formal reception in May. To nominate a youth, call McLeod’s office at 250-851-4991 or send an email to cathy.mcleod.c1@ parl.gc.ca. Deadline for nominations is April 30.

by Madeline McMillan. It’s one of six created by a partnering of secondary students in School District 73 and a former teacher in the district now doing research for her PhD on adolescent health literacy and the media. Brown, formerly a dance teacher at Beattie School of the Arts, has been studying literacy in the age of social media and the Internet. As part of that research, she has had people create graphic novels and brought

it to Kamloops to engage high-school students for the first time in her studies. Brown said her role is as a research co-ordinator and facilitator for a multi-phase project Deborah Begoray of the University of Victoria has been doing for five years. In it, they study using graphic novels as a literacy tool to see how young people understand and interact with media and how it impacts their health. In the past, Brown said,

students wrote stories on media-health themes and professionals were brought in to do the illustrations. The 10-week project saw students from Four Directions school create storyboards based on a theme. Those boards were then sent to Beattie for art students to create illustrations. Earlier this month, both sides of the six collaborations came together to celebrate and finally see the works they had created.

Limberg’s book is about bullying. There’s Nothing to See Here, written by Hank Gott and Garrett Gottfriedson, was illustrated by Cassandra Bradshaw, Laura Saul and Lauryn Adolph.

One Mistake was written by Darian Haller with dialogue by Donovan McBurnie and illustrations by Grace Giles, Euisun Kim, Breanna Turmel and Ame Van Zyl. It’s set at a party where there’s too much alcohol, cellphones with cameras and that one mistake that leads to shame and then courage as the girl decides “change has to start with me.” Soul Survivor: The Residential School Experience was written by Zach Jonny, Qyntine Primeay and Nathan Zerr, with illustrations by Sophie Graham. The protagonist tells of being taken from her family at age eight by white men, of being told never to speak her native language, of having her hair cut and of being punished for just doing what kids do. Tweswis is a story of racial stereotyping and finding the power to make changes. Written by Quintin Frank, Jade Hanuse, Precious YoungWhitney and Summer Peters, it has dialogue and panelling by River Williams-More and Graham Bankier and was illustrated by Forest Nield. It tells of two First Nations boys who hear the sounds of fighting behind a store and go to check it out. Before they know it, they are arrested, their names published in the media, people gossip they were drunk and their reputations are shattered despite the fact they are innocent. When Night Falls

was written by Sadie Edwards and illustrated by Olivia Cook, Kimberly Loucks and Hailey Hill. It’s another story familiar to young people and their families as two friends disregard a socialmedia lesson about not engaging with strangers online. They start a conversation with someone who eventually finds them. Knowing there are no parents at home, the stranger breaks in attacks them and is stabbed and later shot — neither wound fatal — by the girls. Brown said it “is important that [student] voices are heard. “Their graphic novels can now be used in other classrooms to promote discussions around the various media-health topics they wrote about.” The novels can be found online at http:// www3.sd73.bc.ca/general/content/librarysystem.

The wait continues for those who took part in the recent 24-hour playwriting contest held by the Thompson Rivers University Drama and Theatre Club. A panel of judges is reviewing the 13 submissions and will announce a winner later this month. TRU theatre-arts instructor Heidi Verwey said plans are to workshop the winning play and, hopefully, produce it in the future. The event drew theatre-arts students and alumni, as well as writing students and others from the public. Verwey said the success of the project guarantees it will be done again next year.

AJAX PROJECT APPLICATION/EIS

fter four years of hard work by hundreds of environmental, social and economic experts, we now understand more about Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; environment, economy, community health, and infrastructure than anyone could imagine. The result of this work is the 18,000-page Ajax Project Application/Environmental Impact Study (EIS), which will now be subjected to a thorough review by provincial and federal government experts. And by you.

The complete report is available online and at numerous locations around town. In addition, plain language summaries of each detailed study are available online and in print upon request. Of course mining has effects, which is why we studied every conceivable worst case scenario in 39 different study areas. The question is, how significant are the identified effects and can they be eliminated or adequately mitigated? We invite you to take a look at the studies and answer that for yourself.

We created a website that contains all 18,000 pages of our Application/EIS, as well as plain language summaries for your study and review. The plain language summaries provide an easier way to quickly understand the findings of the reports. The four main sections are: Environmental Effects & Mitigation Measures; Economic, Social and Cultural Effects & Mitigation Measures; Health-Related Effects & Mitigation Measures; and Aboriginal Groups Information Requirements

be ready. “It’s one of those where you collect recipes and you collect ideas and you put them all away and say, ‘One of these days this is all going to be put somewhere,’’’ said Lidia Bastianich by phone from New York. “And, so, this is kind of that book, where I collected — I mean, I’m 40-plus years in the industry — so all the things that made me and my cooking, understanding it and facilitating it and the philosophy of it, the nurturing, the nourishing,” she said. “All of that, my philosophy of food, you know, going way back to my formative years actually on the farm with grandma.’’ Along with more than 400 recipes and a glossary of cuisinerelated words and phrases useful for travelling and dining in Italy, Bastianich includes a primer on cooking techniques and tools needed to master Italian cooking. There’s also an introduction to a range of ingredients — meats and fish, vegetables and fruits, grains, spices and condiments — as well as tips on how to buy and store them. The title is an homage to Julia Child, whose two-volume Mastering the Art of French Cooking was published in 1961. The second volume came out in 1970. Child’s editor at the New York publisher, Judith Jones, also worked on many of Bastianich’s cookbooks until she retired. “So there was such a familiarity and Knopf

said, ‘How about a parallel to the French and Italian?’ “So I think that was done with some kind of permission and intent from the publisher,’’ Bastianich said. Child and Bastianich were also friends. “My television, my mode of teaching, of projecting, I think she was my mentor in that I observed and saw how she taught,’’ Bastianich said. “She was so excited about the cooks out there, the viewers, doing what she was doing, not so much showing what she knew how to do — which a lot of time happens with chefs. They show and then they leave the viewer kind of hanging there. “But I think the importance is to permeate to the viewer and empower the viewer, which she did well and hopefully to some extent I do.’’ The book’s co-author is her daughter, Tanya Bastianich Manuali; it’s the fifth book on which they have collaborated. Her son, Joe Bastianich, is a partner in Eataly, a huge artisanal Italian food and wine marketplace that the team hopes to bring to Toronto this year or in 2017. There are no photos in the cookbook because it was thought they can date a book and Bastianish wanted the tome to be a timeless how-to reference. Bastianich wants to get across to the uninitiated that the beauty of Italian food is in the diversity and seasonality. It’s not just pasta. The microclimates in Italy’s 20 regions yield different products, leading to a variety of cuisines, she explained. It’s important to understand the nuances of the various traditional products and techniques. But, Bastianich added, you can easily bring the flavours of Italy to your table with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and some grated Grana Padano over a dish such as risotto just before serving.

MAKING APPREHENSION VANISH Lidia Bastianich hopes her new book will help dispel apprehension some people may have about cooking. “Just the fact of relaxing in the kitchen can give yourself the confidence that you can do something. You can boil pasta, you can scramble an egg, you can steam some vegetables. You begin that and then you build on that,” she said. “The kitchen is a lot of common sense, the experience of being there. Follow that instinct. If you think it’s right, chances are that it is right and it’s right for you because cooking, like our lives, is a collection of memories. What did we do with Grandma, with Mom, with whatever along the way? So let those memories, those sentiments, play into it.’’ Another myth Bastianich likes to banish is that food is complicated — simple is best. Here is an easy recipe from her collection of more than 400 in the new book to try at home: ORECCHIETTE WITH CLAMS AND ZUCCHINI (Orecchiette con Vongole e Zucchine) Orecchiette is a small ear-shaped pasta. If you can have some zucchini blossoms, chop them coarsely and add along with the scallions. 5 ml (1 tsp) kosher salt, plus more for the pot 50 ml (1/4 cup) extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 3 medium zucchini, cut into 5-mm (1/4-inch) thick halfmoons (about 500 g/1 lb) 1 ml (1/4 tsp) crushed red pepper flakes 125 ml (1/2 cup) dry white wine 24 littleneck clams, scrubbed 1 bunch scallions, trimmed and chopped (about 250 ml/1 cup) 500 g (1 lb) orecchiette 125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh Italian parsley Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add olive oil. When oil is hot, add garlic. Cook until garlic is light golden, about 2 minutes. Add zucchini and season with salt and red pepper flakes. Cook until zucchini just begins to wilt, about 4 minutes. Add white wine and bring to a simmer. Add clams and scallions, stir and cover pot. Begin cooking pasta in boiling water. Cook clams until they all open, 5 to 6 minutes, discarding any that do not open. Uncover, and increase heat to high to reduce and concentrate sauce while pasta finishes cooking. When sauce is ready and pasta is al dente, remove pasta with a spider and transfer directly to sauce. Add parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to coat pasta in sauce, adding a splash of pasta water if it seems dry. Serve immediately. Makes 6 servings.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Fred Marsh, 81, created the Marsh Flexible Goal Peg system while managing a recreation facility in Kitimat more than 30 years ago. The pegs are now used worldwide.

“We made one final trip down to Vancouver and they had a piece of that in the shop. I said, ‘That’s exactly what I’m looking for,’” he says. “I was ready to give up, but Sheila wouldn’t let me. She said, ‘You’ve gotten this far, you just keep going.’” In fact, Fred gives as much credit for the product to his wife as he takes for himself. Sheila says she wouldn’t let him quit, “Because it was a good idea. “There was so many people getting hurt,” she told KTW. “It was his dream.” With the pegs in use in Kitimat, Fred knew, in short order, the value of what he had created. He soon found himself touring Western Canadian cities on his holidays, selling his goal-peg system in local arenas and in Western Hockey League barns, Sheila all the while reading books in the car.

The product took off — the Marsh Pegs got their junior start in the homes of the Moose Jaw Warriors and the Saskatoon Blades and, before long, had spread throughout the WHL. And, in 1991, after meetings with the NHL’s brass, the Marsh Peg made its debut in the world’s top hockey league. At the time, the NHL had been using magnets to secure its posts, which allowed nets to come loose with the slightest bump. Previously, it was metal anchors that moored nets, but the results were disastrous. It was such a setup that nearly ended Serge Savard’s professional career when the Montreal Canadiens’ defenceman collided with then net while trying to stop a breakaway, fracturing his leg in five places which needed three operation to repair.

FOR A TEST DRIVE

Three-time Stanley Cup champion Mark Recchi is returning to Kamloops to take part in the Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada festivities, which run from Feb. 3 to Feb 6. “I’ll be doing a little bit of everything, as far as I know,” said Recchi, player-development coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins and part-owner of the Kamloops Blazers. Recchi, 47, will suit up for the WHL pro-am alumni game, which is expected to include former NHL stars Lanny McDonald, Darcy Tucker, Cory Cross, Cliff Ronning, Wendel Clark, Mark Napier and Kirk McLean, among others. “I just got a chance to look at the list and it’s a great group of guys coming back,” Recchi said. “I just talked to Zac Boyer and talked him into coming out. He’s actually coming in from Florida and bringing his family.” Boyer cemented himself in Blazers’ lore when he scored the Memorial Cup-winning goal in 1992, marking the first time Kamloops won the CHL championship.

Mark Recchi Canadian country music star Gord Bamford, a 22-time CCMA award winner, will take to the ice in the pro-am contest. The alumni game — which costs $10 to attend, or $5 for children — gets underway at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 4 at Sandman Centre and will be preceded by the Hockey Day celebrity luncheon at the Tournament Capital Centre. Recchi will be a guest of honour at the luncheon, which gets underway at 11:30 a.m. Hockey Night in Canada legends Don Cherry and Ron MacLean will host the event, along with Rogers Sportsnet personalities James Cybulski and Caroline Cameron. Linden will be a guest speaker. The Memorial Cup and Stanley Cup will also stop in at the luncheon. See RECCHI, A23

very net in the National Hockey League has its roots in Kamloops. The Tournament Capital is the home of the Marsh Flexible Goal Peg system, the place where Kamloops’ Fred Marsh receives and tests the polyurethane net anchors before packaging and shipping them to all 30 NHL arenas. Conceived by Marsh more than 30 years ago, the Marsh Pegs secure hockey nets in ice rinks worldwide. They revolutionized player safety in Canada’s game — stiff enough to hold nets in place when bumped or pushed on, but flexible enough to allow them to come loose when players went crashing in at high speeds. “I just sit back and I know that nobody is going to get hurt,” Marsh says in his Kamloops home, the original Marsh Pegs, now faded and brittle, mounted in a shadowbox on the table next to him. “I just think, ‘Wow, I did that.’” The Marsh Flexible Goal Peg system has humble beginnings, despite the international fame that it and its 81-year-old founder eventually garnered. Marsh, who at the time managed recreation facilities in Kitimat, was only looking to improve safety in the two rinks in the Northern B.C. municipality. Before the Marsh Pegs came along, Kitimat, along with other small-town rinks worldwide, were freezing hockey nets directly into the ice surface. A wobbly atom or a high-flying midget would be met with an immoveable object if they went sliding into a post. Marsh travelled Western Canada in the early days, experimenting with materials in hopes of finding what he was looking for. He found plastic was too brittle when it got cold and rubber too stiff. But, in the mid-1980s, he found the polyurethane that would form the basis of the pegs.

Marsh’s idea met at first with laughter From A21

Years later, when Fred received a Manning Innovation Award for the Marsh Pegs, he and Savard appeared on the cover of a Montreal newspaper, despite his product winning one of the event’s secondary awards. Coincidentally, the principal award that year was given to Dr. Pierre Côté, the man

who championed the water-filtration system that would revolutionize Kamloops’ drinking water five years later. In 1998, the same year Fred moved to Kamloops, the Marsh Pegs made their debut in the Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan. They’ve been used in the Olympics, and in International Ice Hockey Federation events like the World

Hockey Championships and the World Junior Championships, ever since. The pegs have helped Fred become a part of hockey lore — he has met the likes of Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe, been interviewed by Ron MacLean and Don Cherry. It has never been about fame for the Marshes, though.

“We didn’t make many bucks off of it, but we both retired early,” Fred says. “The satisfaction is enormous,” Sheila echoed. The Marsh Pegs franchise has become all the more important in recent years, as Fred’s health has gone through its ups and downs. The 81-year-old was diagnosed with cancer

three years ago and, at the time, the doctor only shook his head when Fred asked for a prognosis. A month ago, seeing a new doctor for the first time, the Marshes found out just how serious Fred’s condition had been. “He said, ‘You know, when you were first diagnosed, you had weeks to live,’” Fred says. His new doc-

tor now calls him the miracle man. “He said, ‘I’ve never seen such a remarkable case.’” Alone in their household office, surrounded by prints of backyard hockey rinks and a picture of Fred in the uniform he wore in his days as a WHL official, Sheila smiles. The Marsh Pegs have come to be about more than just improving the safety of Canada’s game. “I know we should pass it on to one of the grandsons,” she says. “But, it keeps him going.” The company keeps Fred busy. Marsh Pegs are now recommended

by name in most arenas and the pegs in the NHL need to be replaced every two years to make sure they are still working properly. A new colour with each cycle allows Fred to make sure teams are using up-to-date pegs as he watches on TV. The Marsh Pegs have been a labour of love and have had exceptional results. “When I first came up with the idea, they just laughed at me,” Fred says. Even his family thought it was a silly idea. “Now, he’s everybody’s favourite uncle,” Sheila says with a smile.

TRU basketball reaches new heights

For the first time in school history, the Thompson Rivers WolfPack are ranked in the nation’s top 10 in men’s basketball.

WolfPack terminates McManus ADAM WILLIAMS

Former TRU WolfPack head coach Tom McManus: “I went through everything — sadness, anger, everything.”

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tom McManus has been dismissed as the head coach of the women’s soccer program at Thompson Rivers University. McManus confirmed to KTW yesterday that he was asked to resign in November, despite leading the program to its first playoff berth in its history as a Canadian Interuniversity Sport team. “They told me they were going a different direction,” McManus said. McManus said he was called into a meeting in November, where he was presented with a letter of resignation and asked to sign. He declined to do so. Earlier this month, he said he received a letter from TRU vice-president administration and finance Matt Milovick, notifying him he had been released from his contract. McManus said he received no reason for the termination. Given the WolfPack’s recent playoff berth — the women’s club made the playoffs in their second season, while the men’s team has yet to play a CIS playoff game — McManus noted the decision seems odd. “It seems weird to me, too,” he said. “In my contract

it says it can be done without cause.” TRU athletics director Ken Olynyk said university policy prevents him from discussing personnel decisions. “I read what Tom said [in a KTW story] and I don’t think I have anything else to add,” Olynyk said. “He has his opinion, I have my opinion and, obviously, we’re going to be searching for a new coach at this time.” McManus’ biography and photo have been removed from the TRU WolfPack website, replaced only by Olynyk’s

position and contact information. For McManus, the decision brings a seven-year career to an end at Thompson Rivers University. He was 26-13-14 as a coach in the Pacific Western Athletic Association and 6-173 in two seasons in the CIS, the nation’s top university athletics association. He thrice led the club to PacWest gold, as well as a bronze medal at the national championship in 2013. He was a three-time coach of the year in the PacWest, winning the award in

2011, 2012 and 2013. “I was pretty upset about it,” McManus said, noting he is now looking for other work, but there’s nothing available in the Tournament Capital. “I’ve had every emotion going that would normally come up,” he said. “I went through everything — sadness, anger, everything. I guess, right now, I’m just into a calm emotion.” In 2013, the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association chose not to renew McManus’ contract as its technical director.

Signed: Robert Lee Jameson Executor of the Estate of Helen Frances Jameson Solicitor: MORELLI

Mr. George Edward Wilmot of Kamloops passed away peacefully on January 16, 2016 at 85 years of age at the Kamloops Hospice.

He is survived by his loving wife of 21 years Linda Jackson, children Dean (Carrie) Wilmot, Kent (Michelle) Wilmot CHERTKOW LLP and Judith Wilmot-Arcand, grandchildren Lauren Wilmot, Annette (Tyson) Arcand, Maxwell Arcand and great-grandchild Anna Arcand. George is also survived by Linda’s children LindaMarie Vaughan, Liam Harrison (Jill) and Joanna Douglas (Steve) and Linda’s grandchildren Kyle Harrison, Kirsten and Laird Douglas.

Run ‘till SOLD

He was predeceased by his parents, Edward and Emily Wilmot, brothers Jasper and Frank (Mina), sisters Jessie (Reg) Hall and Daisy (Jack) Wallace. George was born in Saskatoon, and grew up on a prairie family farm near Maymont, Saskatchewan. He moved west as a young man and in 1949 was hired by the Canadian National Railway (CN), working in Vancouver, Jasper and then Hanna, where he started his family with his first wife Joel.

In 1992 Linda danced into George’s life and in 1993, he moved to Kamloops and married her in St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral where he remained a faithful member until his passing. Throughout his retirement years he and Linda enjoyed dancing, golf (making 5 holes-in-one), travel and the Kamloops Blazer games. George kept active playing hockey with the CN team and, later in life, refereed senior hockey and curled at the McArthur Island Curling Club, scoring a rare 8-ender in 2014. George was a member of the CN Retirees Association where he enjoyed the friendship of many former coworkers and friends. He was also an active member of the Kamloops Golf and Country Club where he played three times a week until October 2015. He was a very proud family man with a fondness for storytelling and reminiscing. A Celebration of George’s Life will be held Saturday, January 23, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, 360 Nicola St, Kamloops, with Reverend Canon Sandra Sugden officiating.

WW II VETERAN

In the early 1980’s dad and mum bought an old rundown one-room schoolhouse out on the Manitoba prairie. We thought they were crazy at the time! However after many years of hard work renovating, it became their little oasis (a home away from home). Dad loved it there and enjoyed many years of swimming in the pool they installed, planting trees and “tinkering on the property doing odds and ends”…as he called it.

June 30th, 1923 – January 9th, 2016 It is with deep sadness in our hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved dad and granddad. Survived by his son Geoffrey Averay-Jones of British Columbia and daughter Valerie (Mark) Marcille of Kamloops, British Columbia, four grandchildren Terri Marcille of Kamloops, British Columbia and Sean, Kieran and Reanne AverayJones of Edmonton, Alberta. Also survived by step-son Giles, step-grandchildren Tamarah (Geoff), Jay (Amanda) and Allan of Australia. Edgar was predeceased by his devoted and loving wife of over 50 years Claire Averay-Jones (nee Clara Ward) and his parents Clement and Alice Averay-Jones of Manitoba and his siblings, six sisters and one brother. Edgar was born in Sundown, Manitoba and at the age of 17 he joined the Royal Canadian Navy. He served for 4 years during the “Battle of the Atlantic” and stayed on after WWII to serve Canada for another 16 years. After moving to Australia in 1961 Edgar served another 16 years with the Royal Australian Navy as a Special Constable with the Naval Police. Dad was a dedicated family man and at times worked 3 jobs to support his family while in Australia. On returning to Canada with his family in 1978 he then spent the next 11 years working in the security industry before his retirement. Edgar was very athletic in his younger years. He loved to box and he played and coached

cle car. The choices for my illicit spin around my hometown in northern England was a Pontiac Trans Am, Chevy sedan (forgotten which model) and the aforementioned Charger. It was illicit not because I was joyriding, but because I wasn’t insured to drive these American monsters, owned by my bosses at the local plumbing-supplies company. Not sure why I chose the Dodge — possibly because I was a TV cowboy fan and Dodge City was, of course, the centre of all gun play. How fortuitous because it would provide me with a point of reference for when, recently, I climbed aboard the latest version of the Charger, which draws its design inspiration from that earlier model. Just kidding. I don’t remember much about my 15-minute turn at the wheel of that alien left-hand drive power machine. I recall it went like stink, I liked the roar and the auto transmission — my first — was sensational. Perhaps that’s all I needed to recall because those performance attributes were what fascinated muscle car fans on both sides of the Atlantic. The new Charger looks are truly reminiscent of the cars that bore the same back in the late 1960s and the variety of engines now on offer can deliver the same thrill, more so given the technological advances. Nostalgia is not enough to justify creating such contemporary re-recreations of icons of a bygone era.

Today’s muscle machines have to perform as everyday cars and contain the same creature comforts we now expect in a family sedan and the 2016 Charger (available in nine trims) delivers in spades. Let’s open the driver-side door of this coupe-like four-door sedan, which first returned in 2005 after a 19-year absence from dealerships. Since that celebrated revival, it has been fine-tuned in every sense of the word. If the earlier re-iterations of this new generation were somewhat spartan inside, that cannot be said now. Premium materials now adorn the interior and there’s a choice of 19 trim and colour combinations, not to mention a customizable seven-inch fullcolour driver information display cluster. The SXT test car featured the optional 8.4-inch touchscreen media centre with Uconnect Access system (optional on base trims), very much a 21st-century luxury. As is the available BeatsAudio system, with its 552-watt amplifier and trunk mounted subwoofer, which blasted me with the mid-1960s sounds of Jefferson Airplane during my freeway ride. The 2016 Charger uses a TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission mated to a 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 engine, which effortlessly generates 292 horses. And it’s a muscle car with mean fuel economy numbers — 12.8/8.6 L/100 kms. The tester’s Rallye Group option with its

one-of-a-kind coldair induction system, sport-tuned exhaust and engine calibration teases another eight horsepower from the V6. The deep throaty exhaust note whisks one back to the 1960s when the Airplane’s Grace Slick was also in good voice and I had hair. No surprise freeway cruising was fun, additionally aided and abetted by the three steering modes: normal, comfort and sport. To be honest, I didn’t get the chance to put the all-wheel drive system to the test, but it has to be a bonus for suburban drivers encountering winter weather on their commutes. But, does it play nice as a town car? In the main yes, though the coupe inhibited view can make supermarket parking a challenge. The V6 did not disappoint. Of course, if you want muscle on steroids you might want to take a look at the Charger SRT Hellcat model, with its supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI Hellcat engine. It produces 707 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque and a top speed of almost 330 km/h. A slightly tamer option is the Charger SRT 392 model, powered by a 6.4-litre 392 HEMI V-8 engine, delivering 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque. A quick mention of something I doubt was ever a consideration in the old days: the Charger offers more than 80 safety and security features.
