The Kamloops Mountie who was shot during a traffic stop more than a year ago has returned to work. RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller said Jean-Rene Michaud is back on the job — but not back on patrol. “All I can comment on is that he’s started back at the detachment, obviously working in an admin capacity CPL. JEAN-RENE and graduMICHAUD ated hours at this point,” he said. Mueller said he couldn’t comment on if or when Michaud would resume full-time hours. Earlier this month, a lawyer representing Kenneth Knutson, charged with attempted murder stemming from the shooting, said a guilty plea will be entered on March 17. Michaud was shot in the early-morning hours of Dec. 3, 2014, while conducting a traffic stop in Batchelor Heights. Knutson was arrested later that day.

A suspect in the murder of a 30-year-old man outside a North Kamloops sushi restaurant last week has been taken into custody, KTW has learned. The 32-year-old was arrested on Tuesday and charged with breach of probation. He is being held in custody on that charge. KTW is not publishing his name because no charges have been laid relating to the murder.

Just before 5 p.m. on Jan. 22, emergency crews were called to the 400-block of Tranquille Road for a reported stabbing. A 30-year-old man had been injured in an altercation outside Hatsuki Sushi. He was rushed to hospital, but died hours later. The owner of Hatsuki Sushi told KTW an intoxicated trio — two men and a woman — became involved in an argument outside his restaurant. Moments later, he said, a bleeding victim entered seeking refuge. Employees and customers called

Second homicide of 2016

Kamloops Mounties are now investigating the city’s second homcide of the year. Police confirm a suspicious death Tuesday in a Valleyview motel is a homicide. At about 11:30 a.m., a 49-year-old man was found dead at the 4 Seasons

Motel in the 1700-block of the East Trans-Canada Highway. The original 911 call reported a person in cardiac arrest. Tuesday’s death follows the slaying in North Kamloops last Friday. Police say the two homicides are isolated incidents, with nothing to indicate connection. “Both investigations are active, ongoing and are progressing,” Cpl. Cheryl Bush said. Anybody with information on either death is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

UPS AND DOWNS AT FULTON FIELD WHAT IS: • Vancouver: seven flights a day with Air Canada • Calgary: four flights a day with Air Canada and WestJet • Prince George: one flight a day with Central Mountain Air • Vancouver: one flight per week with Central Mountain Air WHAT WAS: • WestJet adds Edmonton service daily starting in February 2015 and ending in March 2016. • WestJet adds an Edmonton service three flights a

week in spring 2010; lasts 25 days. • WestJet adds flight to Vancouver starting in November 2013 and ending in February 2014. • WestJet adds flight to Vancouver in late 2009; ends in spring the next year. • Horizon Airlines offers seasonal service to Seattle for Sun Peaks ski market, operating from 2003 to 2008. • Pacific Coastal Air flights to Vancouver from October 2007 to July 2009.

The collapse of oil is directly responsible for the loss of WestJet service between Edmonton and Kamloops, according to Kamloops Airport manager Fred Legace. The Calgary-based airline announced Monday it will discontinue flights to Alberta’s capital on March 5. It will shift aircraft capacity to more viable markets in Eastern Canada. “We look at our service based on supply and demand,” WestJet vicepresident Richard Bartrem said. “With the downturn in the economy, we’re seeing less demand for travel to and from the energy markets and into areas across Canada. We’ve decided that we would move some of that capacity into markets where we’re

seeing less of that impact so that we’re actually using the fleet as effectively as possible while minimizing the effect on the guest.” Bartrem said the decline in traffic has been “noticeable enough” to warrant changes, but did not specify how big of a drop the airline saw in affected markets, including Kamloops. Legace said the Edmonton flight that began less than a year ago started out with high passenger counts, but the continued plunge in oil prices resulted in a loss of workers commuting to Edmonton and then to Northern Alberta’s oil sands. When the first passengers arrived in February 2015 to a red-carpet welcome that included Sen. Nancy Greene Raine, oil was trading at twice today’s levels. See END OF FLIGHTS, A7

The City of Kamloops is facing too many costly surprises from the RCMP and receiving too few officers in return, according to a letter from the city’s police committee to the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM). The letter comes as the provincial and federal governments prepare to sit down for a five-year review of B.C.’s policing agreement with the RCMP. Communities around the province were asked what issues they are facing as a result of the agreement. Corporate-services director David Duckworth wants to see more consultation with municipalities, so the city can prepare for rising police costs.

“Sometimes they seem to get us caught off-guard and we don’t have enough time to prepare for them during budget cycles, like the DNA analysis services that were downloaded at the end of last year unexpectedly,” he said. Duckworth said municipalities were told last year they will be required to cover the cost of DNA analysis. Those services were previously covered almost entirely by the federal government, according to a report from UBCM, but a new agreement struck last year requires provinces to foot slightly more than half the bill for DNA lab work. While Victoria is covering a portion of the cost, communities are being asked to pay the bulk of the fee. The change added about $85,000 to the bill for policing in Kamloops, with

costs expected to grow. “We just want to make sure we have adequate consultation so we can do our proper planning and have a voice at the same time,” Duckworth said. The city is also once again raising concerns about the number of bodies on its police force. While it budgets for 130 members, the detachment is not at full strength. Duckworth said there has so far been no progress on the 10 additional Mounties the city asked for last year. “We’re willing to fund, but they’re not here,” he said. In a letter to Mayor Peter Milobar, UBCM’s local government contract management committee notes it is already hearing concerns about costs and Ottawa’s commitment to providing local police services.

Powder from baked goods shipped to Kamloops from an international address prompted a four-hour investigation at a mailsorting facility this week. Lara Plummer, president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers Local 758, said two employees sorting mail in the Canada Post warehouse on Dalhousie Drive on Monday night were exposed to white powder from a broken package. “Packages break open all the time, depending on how they were wrapped,” she told KTW. “The process is to quarantine the person and call 911 — and that’s what they did.” Plummer said the two employees were taken to hospital. Kamloops Mounties and firefighters were on scene for about four hours, she said, while police contacted the package’s intended recipient to figure out what was going on. “It turns out it was just some baked goods,” Plummer said, noting such exposures aren’t infrequent. “It happens a lot. A lot of the time you can tell what the substance is, but [extra precaution was taken] because this was an international sender. “But, it turned out to be nothing.”

On the right track? CITY HAS INTERIM PLAN FOR PEDETSRIANS/CP CONFLICT ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin is hoping Transport Canada will sign off on a plan that will once again allow people leaving events in Riverside Park and Sandman Centre to cross the tracks at Third Avenue when no trains are coming. The city was ordered by Transport Canada to erect barricades across the tracks and direct able-bodied pedestrians over its pedestrian bridge after major events — but the move sparked anger from some fans when it was rolled out after a Kamloops Blazers game last week.

Trawin said after meeting with the Blazers, Kamloops RCMP and CP Rail, as well as with the safety consultant who recommended the barricades, there is an alternative solution in the works. At this weekend’s hockey games, the city will erect a barricade closer to the tracks so vehicles and pedestrians aren’t backed up into the Lorne Street roundabout. “Secondly, when there is not a train nearing the crossing or in the crossing, then people can still get across the tracks,” Trawin said. The agency deemed the Third Avenue rail crossing unsafe last year after CP Rail complained of trespassing issues, including people crawling through the boxcars

of stopped trains. The city and CP were first ordered to post flaggers at the crossing around the clock, then told by an outside safety consultant to erect a barricade after large events. While the city continues to talk to Transport Canada, Trawin said the city’s plan is likely an interim solution. “We’re looking at something temporary and we’re looking at something permanent, because us to be putting barricades up and down may not be the most effective thing,” he said. “If it’s a permanent type of thing, then we will be looking for shared funding from CP and Transport Canada.”

A pledge made in good faith SO SAYS KGHM AJAX ABOUT INITIAL PLAN TO RELEASE INFORMATION

LOOK FOR DETAILS IN UPCOMING ISSUES OF

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The company behind the proposed Ajax mine said it failed to live up to a pledge to release portions of its application early because of reviews required by the provincial and federal governments. KGHM Ajax project manager Clyde Gillespie faced questions from city council Tuesday over his company’s decision to not make any of its scientific data public ahead of schedule. KGHM Ajax made its way to council for the first time in several years. Until recently, council had banned delegations from speaking on the proposed copper and gold mine, which is undergoing an environmental assessment. Coun. Ken Christian noted that when KGHM spokesman Yves Lacasse last appeared before

council in 2013, he promised the company would begin releasing results of its studies on the mine’s impact as they were ready. “Our intention is to release more information, that’s my commitment,” Lacasse said at the time. Instead, the company’s studies were released in a single 18,000-page package when it officially filed for review with the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office and Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency earlier this month. “The reality is that last Tuesday, a truck pulled up to city hall and 21 volumes of report showed up,” Christian said. “I’m quite sure all of those reports didn’t get completed at the time and I’m just wondering about the strategy of keeping things until everything was all done.” Gillespie said because of completeness reviews required by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office and Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, the

studies weren’t ready ahead of time. “We haven’t really had the opportunity in the process, but we have it now and we’re here today,” he said. Speaking to KTW via email after the presentation, Gillespie said the company made the offer to release information early in good faith. “We came to learn, as the process unfolded, that early release of the studies would not be possible because of the iterative nature of the studies and the provincial and federal agency screening processes,” he said. “It is a lengthy, complex process and KGHM needed to ensure that information released to the public was complete and final. We were not able to be assured of that until the application/EIS was deemed complete by government and accepted for formal review.” Coun. Donovan Cavers focused on the company’s tailings ponds. Cavers said he had been approached by a

City of Kamloops

resident who wanted to know why the company only identified 14 hectares of its tailings beach as “dust generating,” when the beach is about 450 hectares in size. Gillespie said Ajax plans to use thickened tailings, which have reduced levels of water but are still wet, and will keep the beach dampened with spigots. “The 14 hectares is that portion of the beach where we’re rotating those spigot points that may dry out on a hot summer day,” he said. When Cavers went to ask a second question, council hit its selfimposed time limit for Ajax presentations. Councillors Denis Walsh and Marg Spina did not get to ask questions of the delegation. Two other councillors, Tina Lange and Dieter Dudy, were absent. Cavers, who was against the Ajax time limits, said he expects more councillors will see their questions go unasked and unanswered at future meetings. “It’s just going to be a race to get your hand up,” he said.

Open houses

Pothole Notice Potholes are formed when water seeps into small cracks in the asphalt and freezes. The expansion of the ice in the crack causes the asphalt to crumble, and through repeated freeze thaw cycles a pot hole eventually forms. While Kamloops can generally boast about having a fairly mild winter climate, the constant variation of temperature above and below freezing results in the creation of potholes every winter and most predominantly in early spring.

During the winter months, conventional hot mix is not available and holes must be temporarily filled using a hot recycled asphalt mix or a cold mix material. Unfortunately the repaired potholes are susceptible to the same freeze thaw cycle and at times require to be filled repeatedly until a more permanent repair can be scheduled in the spring when asphalt plants open up. During these freeze thaw cycles events up to two City crews operate 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, patrolling and filling potholes they find. It is not uncommon, in wet road conditions, for crews to refill a hole several times in one day until road conditions dry. The City is always looking for better ways to alleviate the problem of pot holes that appear every spring. However, until a better system is found, motorists must be vigilant for the ever present pothole menace. We encourage citizens to report potholes by phoning the Public Works Centre at 250-828-3461 or by using the MyKamloops mobile app, available for download at www.kamloops.ca/mobileapp.

Public consultation will begin with presentations on the proposed

mine’s effects on air quality, health, water quality and its plans to store tailings. KGHM Ajax project manager Clyde Gillespie told KTW the open houses, held in partnership with the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office, will be split over four rooms, each dedicated to a different subject. Consultants for the mine will give 20-minute presentations on their research, followed by 20-minute open mic question and answer sessions. “All the presentations will be held simultaneously in different rooms with seating for up to 300 people, and repeat every hour over four hours, allowing people to choose which sessions they want to hear without being required to attend all the sessions,” Gillespie said. The company will also set up static displays on the socio-economic, environmental and noise effects of the mine, with consultants available to answer questions. The presentations will take place on Feb. 16 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., and on Feb. 17 from noon to 6 p.m. at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way in Aberdeen.

BIKE-REPAIR STATION STOLEN ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It was attached to the ground with seven large bolts, each cemented in place. However, that security measure wasn’t enough to stop thieves from making off with the city’s $2,100 bicycle-repair station on McArthur Island. City staff discovered the crime during a routine safety inspection yesterday and are baffled by the theft. “They must have

had a very large piece of equipment to shear those bolts off,” said parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam, who called the theft “shocking.” The city installed three of the repair stations at high-traffic points in the city (Riverside and Kenna Cartwright parks house the remaining stations). Each is equipped with a bike pump, wrenches, tire levers and other tools, which are fixed to the station with aircraft cable.

Cyclists can also scan QR codes with their smartphones to access bike-repair guides. “It was very popular because that trail around the island, especially in the spring and summer, is heavily used,” said Putnam. “A lot of people used that station, so we’re really disappointed.” It’s not clear when the station was stolen. The city doesn’t have a surveillance system on the side of the arena where it was installed.

Putnam said the city has alerted the Kamloops RCMP and plans to offer a reward for the station’s return through Crime Stoppers. He urged anyone with information to phone either organization. “We’re hoping to get it back because people want to use it,” he said. Asked why someone would steal a repair station, Putnam suggested thieves might have wanted to sell the metal for scrap.

End of flights tied to oilfield woes From A1

Two years ago, when planning for the flight was undertaken, it was triple today’s US$30 a barrel. “We’ve been watching the Edmonton numbers go down for months,” Legace said. “It’s a reflection of what’s happening in Alberta.” Legace said it’s clear that fly-in, fly-out workers made up the bulk of flights connecting out of Edmonton. When those construction projects stopped and companies slashed budgets, jobs vanished. “Without that, the other part of the market — tourism and some business — is difficult to hold,” he said. Two years ago, demand was so high for fly-in, fly-out work-

ers that Imperial Oil’s Kearl project used a charter aircraft that landed in Kamloops as part of an Interior run to Fort McMurray. That service ended in 2014. Tourism Sun Peaks president Christopher Nicolson said the loss of the Edmonton flight is disappointing, but will not be a significant hit to overnight stays on the mountain. “As a market, Alberta represents two to three per cent of our overnight visits,” he said. “Northern Alberta is more than half.” WestJet’s decision to drop the flight will change marketing plans for the mountain. Kamloops residents wishing to fly to Edmonton after March 5 can use WestJet to fly to Calgary, then transfer to Edmonton. WestJet flies to Calgary from

Kamloops twice a day. WestJet will also be cancelling service between Terrace and Calgary and between Prince George and Calgary. Legace said there was some discussion with NewLeaf for its proposed low-cost flights to alternative Canadian markets. He said the Kelowna-based location of the company that owns NewLeaf’s aircraft, combined with the larger size of the Okanagan market, made it unrealistic for Kamloops to compete. While Kamloops Airport continues seeking potential charter flights, Legace said airlines are not in the business of building demand from the ground up or flying with less than 50 per cent passenger loads. “These days they want 70 to 80 per cent,” he said.

People rent for very good reasons, and you may have many of them...but have you ever wondered if you are ready to buy? Here are a few considerations to review when deciding if you are ready to buy. 1) The Rental Market – What are the rents projected to be in the near future, how much

are you paying compared to similar rental units, what could your rental dollar do if it was put toward a mortgage payment?

2) Employment – How safe is your employment, are you committed to the work force or considering school, is your income showing signs of stability/ increase/ or decrease, are you happy with your job? 3) Happiness – Is your current home meeting all your needs today, will your needs change in the near future, can your home suit your future needs? 4) Rate Trends – Low interest rates can mean your payment dollar can go further. Taking advantage of periods with low interest rates can put you in a higher value home for the same monthly payment as a less expensive house with a higher interest rate. What are the interest rates expected to do?

6) Down Payment – Down payment is not always an obstacle if you are ready to buy. Some lenders will allow a borrowed down payment. However, in most cases, lenders like to see a 5% down payment and 1.5% closing costs. This can come from a gift from family, savings, RRSP withdrawal etc.

POT LAWS ARE IN LEGAL LIMBO

hough it was an election promise, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals aren’t going to be able to legalize marijuana overnight. In fact, legalization of pot might take longer than the four years the Liberals are guaranteed before the next federal election in Oct. 2019. Undoubtedly, the federal government would like to get started on this promise, since it’s worth millions of tax dollars every year. But, when you consider what they already have on their plate, with the so-called Islamic State, Syrian refugees, assisted dying and, oh yes, the economy, it’s understandable that legalizing pot might not be the top item on the Liberals to-do list. Still, the promise was made and, with pot already legalized in four states, there is a certain expectation it is a promise on which they will follow through. That leaves our police and justice system in a bit of a legal limbo. All the existing prohibitions are still in force, but police have had a hard enough time enforcing those and getting punitive judgments without the concept of legalization hanging over their heads, in addition to limited legalization of medicinal pot. Where there is a crack, there are opportunists looking to take advantage. Unregulated compassion clubs and dispensaries are springing up everywhere. Medicinal marijuana is legal, but the interpretation of that law, which has seen marijuana storefronts open up across the country, needs to be clarified. Legalization and setting up the associated processes may take years. In the meantime, the RCMP, courts and municipalities need to know how to proceed. This has to happen before more dollars are spent on what may prove unnecessary enforcement. Is a crackdown at this stage an effective use of resources? Instead, let’s set out a timeline of how this is going to happen and set some preliminary regulations for licensing and regulation of sales.

A service for Santa this weekend in Logan Lake

here are some phone calls you never want to get, such as one I recently received. It was my dear friend Barrie Ogden calling with a four-word message — Santa Claus is dead. Bill Cook was always Santa in my mind and in those of many Kamloopsians. Even recently, after giving up the job of bringing in the annual parade, I still thought, “Wow! There’s Santa!” when I would see him. It wasn’t just the long white hair and beard. Bill embodied all the goodwill Santa also brings. It’s difficult to know where to start when writing about Bill. In his life, he lived in East Vancouver, worked as a cook in logging camps and owned at various points an arcade, an icecream parlour and a couple of coffee shops. Among other talents, he mastered the art of cutting meat and making donuts. His career role, however, didn’t happen until Bill moved to Logan Lake. That first year, he was asked to play Santa and he agreed, donning the red suit and fake beard. Eventually, he was asked to bring the role to the former Thompson Park Mall, again with the fake beard, something wife Barrie said he grew to hate. The solution? Grow a real beard.

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL From that one request came years of playing Santa for the Logan Lake Fire Department, municipal government and business association, as well as for the Wellness Health and Youth Society. For years, Bill would hop into the seat of honour in the weeks before Christmas at the downtown mall, Sahali Centre Mall and, for one year, Aberdeen Mall. And, he’d sit atop the big float every November, waiting for his grand entry and ride down Victoria Street to herald the Christmas season in Kamloops. Some years, Barrie said, the two of them would walk around downtown after the parade, she dressed for winter and Bill dressed to give children the thrill of meeting Santa on the sidewalk. Bill’s community involvement wasn’t just for a few weeks in

winter. For years, he drove into Kamloops three days a week to do various volunteer jobs. For example, Bill would spend time with the Salvation Army, where he introduced the good food box program, ensuring the boxes had meat he would cut, vegetables and other necessities of life. He spent years working with seniors with special needs, first with Kamloops Society for Community Living — which honoured him with an award for the time he spent and the care he gave to each person he helped. Later, he moved on to help the same population through Vista Community Services. Bill kept making those trips to help others up until the long drives just became a bit too onerous, particularly in winter. In recent years, Bill and Barrie were in a bad accident making the trip up the Coquihalla to Kamloops. That Santa spirit remained, however, and it’s why a lot of folks in Logan Lake will gather at their seniors’ centre this weekend to remember the 84-yearold Santa who died Jan. 19. It will be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Those planning to attend are asked to email Barrie at bogden@telus.net. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter:@mdalebass

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PICKLEBALL’S RISE TIME TO CONTRACT IT OUT NEEDS ATTENTION Editor: Pickleball is taking the world by surprise. Since I retired in 2003, pickleball has become a positive influence in my health and well-being. Aside from keeping me fit and active, I have made new friends and feel like there is hope for improving my skills as a player. Last year, the USA Pickleball Association celebrated its 50th anniversary and boasts nearly 10,000 members. There are people in our 250-plus-member club who have never played sports, but are now confident, competent regulars on the court. Some of our members are former tennis, squash, and racquetball athletes whose skill levels have grown exponentially. It is an affordable activity that promotes a sense of happiness. Kamloops has four designated outdoor pickleball courts at McDonald Park, which our club helped fund through “sweat equity” and the Kamloops Blazers Sports Society. The Kamloops Tennis Club provides indoor venues during winter months. With spring just around the corner, our club is concerned about having adequate facilities for the number of people wanting play the sport. The McArthur Island Youth Centre had three courts, but the building was torn down and turned into a parking lot. Additionally, plans for expansion at McDonald Park and in Rose Hill were rejected. We already pay user fees by way of punch cards and program registration. Having more courts would enable the city to host national-calibre tournaments which, in turn, would create an economic spin-off. Our pickleball club wants to be part of the solution to creating more spaces to play. I hope city council votes in favour of building more courts as part of the proposed Riverside Park expansion. K-J Klontz Kamloops

Editor: Recent news articles about the cost of maintaining and operating our parks speak to a much larger problem. I ran many businesses in the past 25 years and I also served one term on council, so I have some perspective on how for-profit and not-profit systems work. In the case of private business, only the strong, cost-effective, service-orientated survive and thrive. In a non-profit situation, that pressure for return on investment is not there. But, a municipality does have to answer to its citizens, much like a corporation answers to its board. When you have to start considering cancelling services because you cannot afford to operate them, there are serious problems. I think it goes deeper than that in this case as the union has a big role in the equation. If the city was able to contract out all of its needs for goods and services, as a business does, we would not see this happening. Something is seriously out of balance. As the population ages and we become

more savvy with instant media information available, there is less and less room for excess, waste and greed. I have spoken to many other taxpayers and to some councillors on this issue and we all agree things have to change. Everything is a trade-off, but in the end, what’s the difference between a strike and closing down services? Its not an easy fight and everyone always wants more, but when the elephant in the room is so big, when there is no room for anything else, it’s time to discuss the options or suffer the consequences. We must speak up and let our councillors managers and leaders know how we feel, what we are thinking and what we want. After all, we are all each other’s customer. We already have closures happening. The Tournament Capital Centre is closed every statutory holiday, when demand is high, because it is too costly to open. Unless this issue is addressed, I can see more closures and caps. Brian Husband Kamloops

LEFT-TURN LOUTS ARE A MENACE Editor: Since the changes in traffic patterns at the intersection of Columbia Street and Third Avenue, I have observed some near accidents. Traveling down Columbia, motorists have the choice of two left-turn lanes. One is the north leftturn lane from which they must turn left, while the

middle lane allows drivers to turn left or continue straight. Motorists should make the decision about where they are going. If they want to turn right on to Nicola Street after turning north onto Third Avenue, they should take the appropriate lane. This week, I thought that my time was up as a car

came within a few inches of mine when the driver didn’t look or signal a lane change. If I had not been very aware of this happening. it could have been a nasty accident. Perhaps a few days of Mounties issuing tickets will remind drivers to pay attention. Alison M. Patton Kamloops

Water pressure could be lower than normal in North Kamloops, Brocklehurst, Westsyde and Valleyview today and tomorrow as the city tests a method of supplying water to those neighbourhoods ahead of system repairs. Utility-services supervisor Rob Smith said the Juniper water-booster station, which keeps water flowing to Rose Hill, Juniper Ridge and Barnhartvale, needs emergency repairs this spring. During those repairs, the city will have to shut off the Valleyview reservoir, which supplies the station

with water, for about 10 hours. “If we were to do that and not do anything else, Valleyview will be out of water for the duration of the repairs,” Smith said. Instead, the city is hoping it can backfeed water from its reservoir on the North Shore to Valleyview residents — a plan it will test tonight and tomorrow morning. In addition to changes in water pressure, Smith said, residents should be prepared for cloudy water during the tests. “Any time you reverse flow on a main, you stir up sediment off the bottom,” he said. “It’s like the hair on your arms. You can run your fingers one way and smooth it down, but as soon as you go back the other way, they all stand up.”

Walmart will join Superstore next month in charging customers for plastic bags. Beginning on Feb. 9, the chain of stores — including the outlet in Kamloops — will charge customers five cents for each plastic bag used to house items bought at the checkout. Superstore has for years charged five cents per bag. Walmart said the fee is part of its strategy for cutting the amount of plastic that ends up in landfills.

Smith said the Interior Health Authority has told him the water will still be safe to drink. It just won’t look as appealing. If the test is successful, the city will likely move ahead with repairs at the Juniper station in March. Smith said the station has settled over the years because of the silty soils on which it is built and the movement has already led to one pipe failure. Because the building could continue to settle, he said, the city will install flexible couplings on all the station’s pipes, allowing them to move up to 16 inches. Smith said the full cost of the repairs could be in the six figures, though an estimate is still in the works and will have to be approved by city council.

The company — headquartered in Mississauga, west of Toronto — said the introduction of a small fee in other countries has helped it reduce the number of plastic bags by more than half. Walmart said some of the proceeds from the new charge will go toward supporting recycling initiatives for grocery bags and other thin plastic objects. Walmart Canada has 397 stores and serves more than 1.2 million customers per day.

THE 73-KILOMETRE MAN SUN PEAKS’ GUNNER RASMUSSEN SKIS HIS AGE AT THE RESORT ON HIS 73RD BIRTHDAY ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

he Sun Peaks Nordic Club is daring its members to spend a week skiing their age in kilometres as a part of the Ski Your Age Challenge. Gunner Rasmussen decided to do it in a day. The 73-year-old hopped on the trails at Sun Peaks on his birthday, Jan. 24. Seven hours and 45 minutes later, he had covered more than 73 kilometres. “My little joke is I can do

the same I did 20 years ago, it just takes me a little bit longer,” Rasmussen said with a laugh. “That’s natural. Your body changes as you get older and that’s fine, but you can really do the same things. It just adds a couple more minutes to it.” It actually took him a little more than 7:03 to cover the distance on his birthday, but he had to stop to eat at one point and to wax his skis at another. For nearly 10 years, Rasmussen has been skiing his age on his birthday, beginning when he turned 65 and retired. He said it’s something special he wanted to do for himself, but

there’s also a larger agenda. “I love doing it . . . but it’s also kind of just show the world, because you turn senior and you’re up in that age, that don’t mean you can’t do stuff like this,” Rasmussen said. He also snowshoes in the winter and is an avid biker, paddler and runner — though his knees don’t allow him to run as often as he used to. “I just try to motivate older people to do the same thing.” Rasmussen got his start on cross-country skis as a boy in Denmark — in those days, he would strap on his skis to make the three-kilometre trek to

Sun Peaks. A few years back, he covered more than 2,500 kilometres on his skis over the course of a season. This year, he’s already closing in on 900 kilometres. Though he’s another year older, Rasmussen doesn’t plan to let up. Though he could feel he had done something the day before, he felt no pain when he awoke on Jan. 25 — he even went out for another ski that day. If Rasmussen has his way, there will be many more skis to come. “I told my wife the other day, the day I turn 100 is going to be a hell of a long day,” he said with a laugh.

school each day. Though the sport isn’t as big as it once was for the Danes — climate change has diminished the snow the European nation sees each year — the daily trip to school started Rasmussen on a lifelong love. He would go on to compete as a cross-country and biathlon racer and was even an assistant coach for the Canadian cross-country team at the 1988 Olympic Winter Games in Calgary. Today, he’s out on the tracks daily. Rasmussen spends his summers on the Coast, but his winters as a full-time resident of

MELBOURNE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Milos Raonic has made significant changes to his game since the last time he played Andy Murray. It should add an interesting wrinkle to his Australian Open semifinal against the second-seeded Scot. Raonic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Canadian Missile â&#x20AC;&#x201D; reached the final four in Melbourne for the first time Wednesday with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Gael Monfils of France. The 25-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., who made his only other Grand Slam semifinal appearance at Wimbledon in 2014, will take a nine-game winning streak into Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matchup with Murray, who beat Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s David Ferrer 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-3. The Canadian already has one of the most impressive power games on the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour. He has made improvements to his volley game of late and it paid off with a title victory at the recent Brisbane International. Murray, meanwhile, has one of the best return games in the sport and has risen to No. 2 in the world rankings, 12 positions higher than Raonic. They are 4-4 in career head-to-head matches, with Murray winning their last two meetings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in 2015 at Madrid and late 2014 in London. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As much as I look back on it, even before I went on court today I was paying attention to what he was doing,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Raonic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because far from where we were 14 months ago, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both very different and I think improved players from then. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I have certain aspects that I would like to manipulate and use my game in, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to try to do a lot of different things too. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a race to who can get in the comfort zone of themselves first.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Raonic is the second Canadian singles player

Milos Raonic will make his second appearance in a Grand Slam semifinal. The Canadian will square off against Andy Murray of Scotland at the Australian Open. Match time is 12:30 a.m. tomorrow.

to reach the Australian Open semifinals. The other is Eugenie Bouchard of Westmount, Que., who did it in 2014. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also just the second Canadian to reach a Grand Slam menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s singles semifinal after Robert Powell did it in 1908 at Wimbledon. Raonic beat Murray on clay in Barcelona in 2012 and they split their hardcourt matches that year at the U.S. Open and in Japan. Raonic also beat Murray on the Indian Wells hardcourt in 2014 and both have a walkover win over the other as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a great challenge ahead of me, but I believe I can find a solution,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Raonic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put in a great effort, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to make the most of this opportunity.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; With the victory over Monfils, Raonic equalled his personal-best winning streak of nine matches from 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was creating a bunch of chances for myself,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Raonic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made good use of a few of them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I then continued to make the most of those little leads.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Raonic, who showed little

emotion until the final point, completed the victory in just over two hours. Monfils, who had a 14-10 edge in aces, is now 2-2 lifetime against Raonic, with the other loss coming via walkover. The Canadian took 35 minutes to win the opening set and he suffered his only break of serve in the second set as Monfils pulled even. Raonic powered back to take the next two sets for the win. He said he has worked hard to make strides in several areas of his game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I know better how to use my ground strokes,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Raonic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But at the same time, because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting to the ball in better position, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting hustled around the court that much. I feel like I can find my way back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go for big shots on the run. I can sort of neutralize a little bit better. He also has big plans for 2016 with new coach Carlos Moya. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are six monumental moments for this year that I really want to put a lot of the attention to: the four Slams, the Olympics, and Toronto is a

big one for me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about really making sure that even those weeks, those tournaments, that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m improving each day.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match was played with the roof of the Rod Laver Arena closed after rainstorms passed through Melbourne in the late afternoon. That suited Raonic, who grew up playing the game indoors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was ideal for me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m used to this and I thought I played great tennis. Playing indoors also gave me some peace of mind.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Top-seed Novak Djokovic of Serbia and No. 3 Roger Federer of Switzerland will play the other semifinal on Thursday. The final is scheduled for Sunday.

Bouchard drops out

Landmark decision in posting video online MICHELLE MCQUIGGE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Legal experts are celebrating a recent Ontario court decision that forces a man to compensate his ex-girlfriend after posting an explicit video of her online without her consent.

Both the presiding judge and legal observers say they believe the decision to be the first of its kind in Canada. Ontario Superior Court Justice David Stinson said that the defendant, known only by his initials N.D., must pay his former girlfriend more than $140,000 in damages

and interest. Stinson’s decision ruled the act of posting an intimate image online without permission can be compared to a sexual assault in terms of its impact and lasting harm. Privacy law experts say the decision sets a precedent that will be felt throughout the country. They say the ruling closes a gap in the legal system that left victims without the means of compensation if their privacy rights were violated in such a way. While posting sexual images of another person without consent has been a criminal offence since 2014, both Stinson and privacy lawyers said they were not familiar with any comparable measures in civil law until now.

Toronto-based lawyer who represented the victim, said the decision felt like a victory. “[The client and her family] were so happy that there was finally some official recognition of the harm that she suffered, and a condemnation from the court that this is wrong and that she was the victim in this case,’’ Wilson said in a telephone interview. The court decision said Wilson’s client and N.D. had dated for some time while attending high school in an unnamed Ontario city, but continued to stay in touch after the end of their relationship. The decision said N.D. asked his former partner, who was then 18, to send him an explicit video that he promised he would keep completely private. The ruling said the victim resisted for some time before complying

in the fall of 2011. She later discovered that her ex had shared the video online the very day he received it and had also shown it to some of their mutual friends. Wilson said her client was so traumatized by this development that she had to be taken to a crisis centre for help. She had trouble eating and sleeping for days on end and feared her reputation had been irreparably damaged, she added. Wilson argued that uploading the video, which remained online for about three weeks, should be viewed as a sex crime with the same repercussions as a physical assault. “The harm that results and the way the victims end up feeling is the same as someone in a sexual assault,’’ she said. “They feel violated. Their bodies are being exposed in a sexual

way that they haven’t permitted and the psychological harm that results is the same.’’ Stinson accepted Wilson’s argument, saying the case could not be treated as a mere privacy breach. “This case involves much more than an invasion of a right to informational privacy. As I have observed, in many ways it is analogous to a sexual assault,’’ he wrote in the decision. “Given the circumstances of this case, and in particular the impact of the defendant’s actions, a substantially higher award is warranted here. David Fraser, an Internet privacy lawyer with McInnes Cooper in Halifax, said the ruling was a necessary development that may help to modernize Canada’s justice system. He said only Manitoba currently has a civil law in place

to address such situations, adding recent high-profile cases such as the online bullying and subsequent suicide of Amanda Todd demonstrate the need for more comprehensive measures. “While I don’t think this is necessarily revolutionary, I think it is evolutionary,’’ Fraser said of the Ontario ruling. “It expands the categories and also demonstrates the flexibility of our civil justice system to keep up with changing technologies and the changing environment in which we live, and to be able to fashion remedies for new or somewhat novel kinds of harm.’’ Stinson awarded the plaintiff $100,000 in total damages, plus an extra $41,000 in interest and legal costs. The ruling said that N.D., who acted as his own lawyer, chose to neither defend his case nor settle out of court.

La Loche doc resurfaces One of the creators of a sixyear-old documentary about troubled La Loche, Sask., hopes the film can shed light on the social problems faced by the town’s residents. A New York Times story that appeared the day after last week’s mass shooting included quotes from the 23-minute documentary Denendeh, produced as a class project by University of Regina students in 2010. Kent Morrison said he was surprised the film received international attention, but hopes interest in the town spurs meaningful change for its residents. The 28-year-old is now a weekend morning TV news anchor at Global Edmonton and

found himself reporting on the deadly shooting at the school he previously visited. “It was pretty heartbreaking,’’ Morrison said of learning about the tragedy, which left four dead. “I was just talking about it, the documentary, the Friday before, here in the newsroom . . . And someone said, ‘Isn’t this the place you were talking about last week?’’’ The documentary, which aired on CBC in August 2010, is also featured on INK Online, published by journalism students at the University of Regina. Morrison said he doesn’t know how the New York Times heard about the film, but suspects it came up in an online

search of La Loche. He said the experience of making Denendeh has stuck with him, especially a meeting with one impoverished resident who questioned what Morrison and his classmates were doing at the time. “He said, ‘You show up here with your camera and you think you’re doing good things. But what are you really doing? You’re going to do your thing and you’re going to leave. And we’re still going to be here,’’’ he recalled. “He was totally right . . . I came and I left.’’ — The Canadian Press

Laid-off workers looking outside the industry IAN BICKIS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — For 36 years, Sue Jones rode out the ups and downs of Alberta’s oilpatch. But, after she was laid off last March, she knew her days in the oil and gas industry were over. “I’m done,’’ said Jones, 56, who worked in data management and document control before she was let go. “I’m older. I’ve been laid off so many times in oil and gas.’’ Great pay and plenty of jobs attracted thousands to the province, but as the decline in crude prices stretches on, some industry veterans are deciding they can no longer take the boom and bust roller-coaster. Jones said this downturn is “the worst one’’ she has seen and figures released Tuesday by Statistics Canada would appear to back her up. Alberta lost 19,600 jobs last year — the most since 1982. After months of searching, Jones finally found a job last week working in the back office of a heat and power-supply company in Calgary.

She has taken a pay cut, but said she won’t be going back to the oilpatch. Lynn Berry, a Calgary career counsellor who also runs a government-supported career boot camp, said more people need to start looking elsewhere. “People just need to get out of this, ‘I need to find work in the oil and gas and I need to make X number of dollars,’ because the reality of today’s economy, it might not happen and they need to figure out what they’re going to do next,’’ Berry said. “If we’re feeling bad, we tend to cocoon and we tend to fall back on what we’ve done in the past, and what we’re saying now is that’s just not working.,’ Berry said. “If you’re just waiting until it comes back, then you’re wasting your time and your skills and your talent.’’ Susan MacDonald, a registered psychologist and career counsellor, said the downturn is a great opportunity for people to look for a career that better suits them. “When they get laid off, they’re seeing it as an opportunity to say,

‘Maybe I should go and check things out,’’ MacDonald said. One of her clients in her late 20s left a career as an economist in the oil industry to go to nursing school. Another in his late 30s left an information-technology career in the industry to go to school to become a doctor. Curtis Buxton spent 17 years working in the oil and gas sector before losing his job last March as a project manager for oilfieldservices company Schlumberger. Two weeks after getting laid off, Buxton was taking a solarindustry course in B.C. and looking for work in the renewable-energy sector. It took a few months, but a project manager position finally opened up at SkyFire Energy in Calgary. Recruiters say many companies are hesitant to hire oil and gas workers because they’re concerned they will jump back to the industry when it recovers. However, Buxton said, he had already approached the company several times showing his interest. “I was persistent and I showed that I wanted to enter the industry,’’ Buxton said.

Like most who leave the oil and gas industry, he has taken a pay cut, but he said it was the right move. “Realizing this was something I was pretty sure was going to make me happy was also a strong motivator for taking that pay cut,” Buxton said. Nathan Tomusange was laid off from a company manufacturing rig equipment in March last year. To switch industries, he went back to school for a supply-management course. But, he added, after sending out dozens of resumes, he’s only had one call back from a potential employer — and that company eventually chose someone with more experience. At 54 with three boys at home, Tomusange said he isn’t waiting around for his ideal job and has started looking into getting a taxi licence. But, he’s also continuing with more courses, trying to figure out which industry will offer the most stability. “We’re all wondering where the jobs are,’’ he said. “Where are they? What industries?’’

$100 oil by 2040? The National Energy Board said crude oil prices are projected to rise to more than US$100 a barrel by 2040. Peter Watson, the board’s chairman and CEO, said the regulator is taking a longterm view of the country’s energy future. Since mid-2014, the global price of crude has fallen about US$80 a barrel down to about US$30 a barrel. The board projects oil prices will rise to about US$80 a barrel in four years and up to about US$105 by 2040. By 2040, Canadian oil production is forecast to increase 56 per cent to 6.1 million barrels daily, and natural gas production to grow 22 per cent to 17.9-billion cubic feet daily.

Ryan is survived by his loving mom Sandra, caring dad Kirk, younger brother Jason and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins who loved him dearly. So until then as said by a close friend…

“I just wanted to tell you some thing’s I hope you know. Whenever any of us were with you, we lived in your world, where words are too long, chirps are guaranteed and seeking out or creating sketchery is of the utmost importance. In this world, we saw how you lived unapologetically, fearlessly, and with endless optimism - and we saw a person we wanted to be more like. You shared your brazen confidence with all of us, always reminding us to do what makes us happy, and to not worry about what others think. I’ll never forget that, and I’ll never forget how big you would dream.” A Celebration of Life will be held in the Sa-Hali Secondary Gym on Saturday, January 30th, 2016 at 7:00 pm. 255 Arrowstone Drive, Kamloops, B.C.

If Tomorrow Never Comes If I knew it would be the last time That I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more. If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say “I love you,” instead of assuming you would KNOW I do. If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there’s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right. There will always be another day to say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance to say our “Anything I can do?”

But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight. So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you’ll surely regret the day, That you didn’t take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you’ll always hold them dear Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or “It’s okay.” And if tomorrow never comes, you’ll have no regrets about today. © Norma Cornett Marek ~ 1989

PENTTI JOHANNES NIKULA The More July 28, 1932 – January 25, 2016

Pentti Johannes Nikula of Kamloops, B.C. passed away peacefully at Kamloops Hospice House with his wife Aira at his side on Monday, January 25th, 2016 at the age of 83. He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years Aira Nikula, daughter Hannele (John), grandson Kieran, his son Matti (Amanda) and grandsons Jordan and Logan. Many friends and family members will also sadly miss him. He was a special man to many.

After retiring, Pentti and Aira moved to Pinantan Lake, B.C. where they lived for a wonderful 22 years before moving to Kamloops. Pentti was a gentle, kind, caring man who loved to spend his time hunting and fishing. There will be many good memories of him shared amongst his loved ones. Close family and friends will be having a Celebration of Life at a later date for Pentti at their home. In lieu of flowers, the family would greatly appreciate donations made in Pentti’s memory to The Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Cr. South, Kamloops, B.C.

You Give

The more you give, The more you get, The more you laugh,

The less you fret. The more you do unselfishly.

The more you live abundantly. The more of everything you share,

The more you’ll always have to spare.

The more you love, the more you’ll find,

That life is good and friends are kind. For only what we give away,

Enriches us from day to day. Teresa Piercey-Gates

Brock Middle School students rehearse with music teacher Jarret Schill in preparation for the Feb. 3 Johnny Reid concert. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

kamloopsthisweek.com | 778-471-7533

Students lend voices at Sandman Centre JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

eventeen voices echo through Jarrett Schill’s music class. “Today I’m going to try and change the world,” the Brocklehurst Middle School Grades 7, 8 and 9 students sing in unison. Schill is at the head of the classroom behind a piano, leading the youngsters through the chorus of the Johnny Reid song. They were given just a couple of weeks to perfect the lines before they will take the stage at Sandman Centre alongside the Canadian country music artist, singing backup vocals for one song on his coast-to-coast tour.

BROCK MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS TO SING BACKUP AT JOHNNY REID CONCERT “I’m really excited about it,” said 13-year-old Elana Sedor. The opportunity comes from Reid and MusiCounts, a charity promoting music education across the country. The middle school’s music department received a $10,000 grant from the organization in 2013 to help purchase musical instruments and equipment. Reid is donating $1 to the charity from every ticket sold on his What Love is All About tour, which stops in the Tournament Capital on Feb. 3, and the organization is reaching out to com-

munities across the country to help show where some of that money goes. “We’ve already had an impact on the school [Brocklehurst Middle School],” said MusiCounts manager Mike Hurley. “It’s going to make for a really nice moment in the show.” While the final donation from Reid’s tour will depend on how many tickets are sold — they are still available for the Kamloops show — Hurley expects the tour to bring in $50,000 to $75,000 for MusiCounts. “It’s hugely important for us,” he said. Schill, on the other hand, sees the performance

d i e R y n John OODVIN, WITH AARON G DA JJ SHIPLETT AN RANCE BY SPECIAL APPEA ASTER NATALIE MACM

as a teaching opportunity. When asked what he hopes the kids will take away from the experience, he said “professionalism.” What began with auditions for the middle school students became a quick turnaround to practise. They will leave school to rehearse with Reid on the day of the concert before taking the stage at about 9 p.m. that night. Some of the students have experience crooning outside of the classroom — singing the national anthem at a Kamloops Blazers game and performing in other choirs.

But, for most, the Reid concert will be the biggest opportunity they’ve had so far on stage. Did they ever think they’d be performing for the River City with Reid? “Honestly, probably never,” said 14-year-old Regan Schultz. Shultz wasn’t familiar with Reid’s music, but enjoys telling others she will be part of his show. “All the adults we’ve told are like, ‘You’re lying,’” she said. As Schultz ages out of the school this year, this experience will round out three years in the music program and she is looking forward to signing her name on the wall outside the classroom, where countless others have immortalized their time under Schill’s direction.

Abbie Israel said it’s nerve-wracking performing solo, but she will be less nervous singing alongside her classmates. She said it’s an opportunity not just for the students. “It’ll also be a big deal for Brock,” she said, noting misconceptions of the “North Shore school.” The students will have just a few lines and minutes on stage, but it’s likely they won’t soon forget the experience and lyrics. “I really like the song,” Sedor said. “It’s really motivating.” Natalie MacMaster, JJ Shiplett and Aaron Goodvin will open for Reid at the 7 p.m. show. Tickets range from $40 to $80 and can be purchased online at ticketmaster.ca.

The Vancouver band Delhi 2 Dublin will be performing at this year’s Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. It is one of several Canadian acts penciled in for the August event.

Festival organizer gets ‘creative’ with diving dollar DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Planning ahead is helping organizers of the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival deal with the shrinking dollar. Festival artistic director Peter North said he started booking strong Canadian acts last September “who I knew would be worth their weight in gold. Now, everyone is trying to get them for other music festivals in the country, he said. Among those acts are Vancouver global fusion band Delhi 2 Dublin — which released We’re All Desi last September and is headed to India next month for a

series of shows — and Yukonbased contemporary roots duo Whitehorse, composed of Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet. Also booked is folk-roots band Great Lake Swimmers, who will head west from its home base in Toronto. Another Toronto band, Digging Roots, is also booked for the August festival. Composed of husband and wife Raven Kanetakta and ShoShona Kish, the band won the contemporary blues composition award at the 2015 annual Maple Blues Awards. The award recognized its song Hwy 17, which focuses on the missing and murdered indigenous women in Canada. North said the diving

dollar “forces you to be creative” and is key since the festival turned a corner last year financially. That doesn’t mean there are no acts coming across the border for the August festival. Also booked are Paul Barerre and Fred Tackett of the band Little Feat. North said interest is already high for this year’s festival; traffic to the website rootsandblues.ca is unprecedented. “We’re making strikes, but, for the dollar, we can’t control it.” North said he’s delighted many of the performers he’s contacted want to do more than one show, offering to do workshops, a key element at the annual event.

In February 2014, Jess Rothenburger and Warren FitzGerald (pictured) went to live with a community of Nicaraguans who survive by scavenging from the garbage dump they live beside. The idea was to make a film about the experience, the proceeds from which would be given to the community to spend however it wanted. For these two gringos, it was just the start of a journey of connections, joy, tears, injury and illness that would lead them to question the nature of survival, poverty, charity and volunteering.

Elementary schools team up to help families in Nicaragua JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

hen Jennifer Jones told students and staff $10 can feed a family of five in Nicaragua for a week, someone immediately ran up and handed over the money. Momentum began with that donation on Monday during a Parkcrest elementary assembly and continued when kids got wind of the information — repeating the $10 for five days of food concept — and someone else jumped in with another $10 donation. “It was electric in that room,” Jones said. “It was like a pep rally. They’re very bought in and really, really want to help.” Three schools in School District 73 are raising money through February to help a community in Nicaragua. Jones had heard of a documentary created by the local non-profit Global Solidarity Group — which filmed the horrible conditions of those living and working in the El Limonal garbage dump — and wanted to get on board. “We already have that established relationship with Nicaragua through the past shoe drives we’ve done,” Jones said. Westmount, AE Perry and Parkcrest elementary schools have several events planned in com-

ing weeks. Westmount is hosting a dance with admission by donation; AE Perry is selling pink milkshakes on anti-bullying day and holding a bake sale and Parkcrest is having coin and cookie drives. “Every school kind of personalized it,” Jones said. They aren’t setting a monetary goal — but, Jones hopes the efforts will take off like the shoe drive. “We’re always surprised what comes in,” she said. In mid-February, a cheque will be written to the Global Solidarity Group, which will be travelling to Nicaragua in March. It will purchase hampers and distribute them to those in need on behalf of the students. Jones hopes kids will learn a bigger sense of community — beyond their school, Kamloops and Canada, she said — while school curriculum is worked into the project. “As a teacher, we’re able to go pull our social studies from that, math connections,” Jones said. “Once we get their attention, the connection is linked to the curriculum we’re supposed to teach. It’s easy.” Those wishing to lend a hand can drop off cheques at any of the participating schools. The Global Solidarity Group is showing its documentary Gringos in the Garbage at the Blue Grotto on Saturday night. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the movie starts at 7 p.m. It will show it again at Harper’s Trail winery on Feb. 13.

No fear — there are no Sasquatches TAKE A DAY TO EXPLORE THESE CAVES ON A PRIVATE PROPERTY IN HOPE

TERESA CLINE teresathetraveler.ca

How to get there:

egend has it, the Sasquatch Caves were named after a family of Sasquatches spotted in the caves. But, when my friend and exotic pet photographer Jason Humber and I asked locals, none of them had ever seen a Sasquatch entering or leaving the cavities. Unlike most caves I have explored, these ones seem to be the result of a large ancient rock slide. Massive moss-covered boulders have piled up in front of a cliff side, forming large crevices both people and Sasquatches can climb through and explore. We started in the parking lot of the Holiday Motel, where the owner asked us to go inside the lobby and sign a waiver because the caves are located on the hotel’s property. A two-minute walk up the road takes you to the caves, located right behind a trailer with many unique treasures scattered about its yard. It has a bit of a landfill theme to it. The first cave you come upon is the main cavern that contains passages taking you quite a ways up the mountain. Smaller openings lead to large chambers,

so be sure to wear proper cave wear that you can get dirty as you squeeze from one chamber to another. Also, be sure to wear a headlamp because the caves are dark and damp. In this main cave, you will see cave art near the entrance. They do not resemble First Nations cave drawings I have seen, but some people claim they are authentic. I believe they are modern, but I am not an expert on cave art. As you climb amongst the boulders up the side of the mountain, you will come across a number of other openings — some small and others large enough to walk inside. Be sure to wear good hiking shoes and gloves as the rocks can be both sharp and slippery. And also bring raingear as Hope tends to get more than its fair share of rain. When you are finished spelunking — the official term for cave exploring — stop

SPECIAL TO KTW

The caves are located on private property behind the Holiday Motel and Owl Street Café on Owl Street in Hope. On Highway 1, take exit 168 until you reach the stop sign. Turn east on Flood Hope Road, then follow the road to the Owl Street Café. Turn right on Owl Street to come to the Holiday Motel at the stop sign. You can park in the hotel lot, but the owners request visitors go into the reception area and sign a waiver before entering the caves. by the Owl Street Café for a home-cooked meal and a warm cup of coffee. This unique café is a tourist attraction in its own right. Built in 2003 with pine beetle-killed timber from nearby Manning Park, the café’s large bar, sidebars and front counter are made from local curly maple, a wood sought after for making high-end violins. The exterior side is board and baton from a 150-year-old barn in the Chilliwack area. This wood was naturally weathered, giving it a unique look. When the café opened in 2005, something incredible happened. Owls from all over the world started arriving in neat packages and were promptly put on display in the café — a trend that remains to this day. For more on the Owl Street Cafe, go online to owlstreet. com, where you can browse the restaurant’s collection of owls and check out its menu. teresathetraveler.ca

Driveway Canada’s top picks from 2015 starts at just short of $30,000, which includes Bluetooth with streaming audio, keyless entry, dualzone climate control and 18-inch wheels. That’s a lot of extras for what passes as standard fare.

KEITH MORGAN

DRIVEWAY CANADA

drivewaycanada.ca

n 2015, more than 60 different new vehicles have parked outside Chez Morgan. Picking five top vehicles for the year is virtually impossible, such is the quality control in today’s design studios and auto manufacturing plants. But, here are five models that left impressions on me for differing reasons. If you pushed me, I might say my first two choices — the Mazda CX-3 and the Honda Civic — were tied for most impressive, not because they are unrivalled, but because the timing of their release was spot on.

Mazda CX3

I’ve flipped a coin and chosen to start with the all-new Mazda CX-3, described at the launch earlier this year as an ‘urban crossover’. It truly is an easy ride in town, which, truth be told, is where most crossovers call home. But, it performs in the ice and snow of the rural areas well. The CX-3’s all-wheel drive system tests the ground under tire in milli-seconds before deciding how much

power to dispatch to each wheel in order to gain traction, just as we do when we start walk across ice. The Skyactiv-G 2.0litre, 146-horsepower four-cylinder, engine is a great little power plant offering great fuel economy — 7.6 L/100km (FWD) 8.1 L/100km (AWD), combined city/highway. The base price is $20,695.

Honda Civic

The all-new Honda Civic launched just a few weeks ago will undoubtedly collect the honour as Canada’s top-selling car for the 18th consecutive year. A couple of days behind the wheel suggests the 10th generation Civic will set a new benchmark in looks, performance, safety and fuel economy.

The base model, which includes a list of standard features that belie its lowly position in the model pecking order, lists at just $15,750 (excluding taxes). The loaded Touring version doesn’t come close to $30,000, with its base sticker price of $26,990. It was the right time for a new Civic and finally we have one

that looks as good as the versions available in Europe.

Nissan Murano

Nissan led the crossover charge with the introduction of the Murano almost 12 years ago, but its imitators soon outsold it. The sharp-looking third-generation Murano should be a game changer.

The external good looks are matched inside, but it’s the usability of the controls that make it a real beauty. The touch screen is almost as intuitive as your smartphone of choice. Five passengers will find comfort and room aplenty and fold-flat seats add to its versatility. The Murano S

I confess I am an Audi fan but most are out of my price range, making them an aspirational ride for yours truly. I attended the launch of the 2017 A4 (coming soon) in the mountainous region outside of the waterlogged city of Venice. It has plenty of perk provided by the turbo charged 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine aided by a seven-speed transmission. No fuel economy numbers yet but, for what it’s worth at this stage, Audi is promising substantial improvements over the current combined city/highway of 8.9 L/100kms for the gas engine. Our A4s will all have Quattro four-wheel drive and the sevenspeed dual clutch S-Tronic transmission when they arrive in the spring.
