Residents seek assurances in event of the unexpected CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

While consultants working for KGHM Ajax pledged this week that the proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen won’t pollute the air or poison food, they faced questions about whether the corporation will always do the right thing — particularly in tough economic times. The corporation together with the provincial and federal environmental-assessment agencies held a series of briefings for the public yesterday and Tuesday at the Coast Hotel and Conference Centre. Bryan Leece, a toxicologist with consulting firm Stantec, said all his assumptions for the mine’s potential affects on human health come from information from fellow Stantec scientist Peter Reid, who headed the team modelling dust outfall. Both men repeated earlier assurances in interviews in January, when KGHM Ajax’s 18,000-page application was made public and environmental assessment in the document found the mine will have little impact on air quality and, thus, human health. For every potential impact

of a toxin or heavy metal, Leece said, “these are so far below the benchmark they don’t register on the radar. “You’re really not seeing a change in health risk.” Reid proclaimed the air quality in Kamloops overall to be “good, amazingly good . . . We’re right up there — some of the best air quality around.” Some of the best air quality within Kamloops is in Aberdeen, the only part of the city that will feel any significant impact from dust emissions at the mine, according to studies.

More on the meetings kamloopsthisweek.com Nonetheless, Reid said, models predict air quality at Pacific Way elementary, one of the closest parts of the developed city to the mine, “will remain better than other parts of the city. “Pacific Way will likely have the cleanest air.” Reid also displayed an animation of a model showing dispersion of dust from the mine. Forecasts are based on a climate-modelling system that is reality-checked by comparing it to data from current testing stations.

On Tuesday, about 20 members of the public watched each of the earlier forums, which were scheduled simultaneously. Several residents questioned assumptions that KGHM Ajax will follow through with pledges made to mitigate dust through an intensive watering program. Road dust is the major portion of the emissions, particularly harmful PM 2.5, which can cause heart and lung disease. “The assumption we’ve made is they’ll [KGHM Ajax] follow up on that commitment,” Reid said. Jack Rainey, a retired Highland Valley Copper miner who lives in Aberdeen, was seeking more than vague pledges from the company. “I asked what do they do if all the water trucks are down or there’s no water for the trucks,” he said, noting such breakdowns happen “rarely” at Highland Valley. Similarly, retired agrologist Graham Strachan asked what happens if the company cuts corners — something scientists acknowledged is not taken into consideration. “You only get the results if everything is working ticketyboo,” Strachan said following the presentation. “Who is watching that?”

A Sun Rivers woman is calling on the Thompson-Nicola Regional District to find a way for residents of the golf-resort community to have their voices heard when it comes to issues like last November’s performing-arts centre referendum in Kamloops. In a letter penned to the TNRD board of directors, L. Dawne Taylor questioned if there was not a way for Sun Rivers residents to weigh in on city issues like the referendum. Sun Rivers is part of the Tk’emlups Indian Band (TIB) and outside City of Kamloops boundaries. “Is there not a way that residents can have our voices heard on issues of concern to us?” Taylor wrote. “Is there not a provision that can be made for voting in referenda, without contravening the provisions of the Local Government Act?” Mel Rothenburger, TNRD director for Electoral Area P, which includes Sun Rivers, said he doesn’t know the answers to all of Taylor’s questions, but noted the letter should make for an interesting discussion at TNRD’s meeting today. Is there not “I certainly feel their pain,” a way that Rothenburger told KTW. residents can “I think if anything can be done about it, it would have to be done on a have our voices case-by-case basis because, obviously, heard on issues of Sun Rivers is part of the TIB and is not going to become part of the city. It’s not concern to us? going to be able to give its residents a vote in day-to-day city decisions. — Sun Rivers resident “Whether or not there is some posL. DAWNE TAYLOR sibility of them taking part in something like the performing-arts centre referendum, if it should come up again, is the question.” In her letter, Taylor noted many in Sun Rivers identify as Kamloopsians and make a monetary contribution to the city through service user fees paid to the City of Kamloops by the TIB. She said residents have an interest in what happens in the city and the opportunity to weigh in is “a fundamental right in a democracy and something that ought not be simply brushed off because of legislative restrictions.” According to the city’s assistant finance director Doug Stewart, however, it’s unlikely the service user fees Taylor refers to would ever be used to support something like a proposed performing-arts centre. “It technically could, but I doubt we’d use it for that,” Stewart said. “I would say we likely wouldn’t, more so because it’s [the amount] not significant enough.” The service user fee, which is valued at about $200 a year for each dwelling in Sun Rivers, goes toward parks and recreation facilities. Twothirds of the fees go to the city, while the other third is held in reserve for the TIB, for use by facilities on band land. Rothenburger is grateful the letter was written, if only because it prompts discussion of the concern, of which he heard plenty toward the end of November’s referendum process. “There would clearly have to be a political will between the city and the band to look at some form of agreement,” he said. “I certainly think it’s worth exploring and anything the TNRD could do to facilitate that discussion, I think we should.”

Council has decided to provide free bus service for spectators and accredited participants when the championships come to the city in March. “We think that by accessing transit, this is going to allow the city to move freely and maybe free up the downtown core and the venues that we’re hosting at here,” event co-chair Jon Pankuch said. Coun. Donovan Cavers was con-

cerned the additional riders may cause disruptions for regular bus riders. “I know there’s an anticipated 50,000 people that will take in some of the games. I’m just a little worried about the potential impact on regular users of the system,” he said. But, Coun. Denis Walsh said if the city can keep additional cars out of the downtown area and avoid creating parking problems, it will be worth some transit annoyances. “This is a huge, even a world, championship and we need to have a plan in place to transport people back and forth from these games,” he said.

Harper Mountain could be home to a new, signature mountain-biking trail as early as this spring. The Thompson-Nicola Regional District will vote Thursday on a proposal to allocate $7,500 of federal gas-tax funds to the Kamloops Performance Cycling Centre (KPCC) for a proposed expansion to the Harper Mountain Trail Network. The addition, a three-kilometre downhill track will complement Ket’R Done, the 10-kilometre cross-country climb developed by the KPCC in 2015. According to the organization’s board, the machine-built downhill track will be unlike anything currently on offer in the Kamloops area. “We, in the fall, put in a really impressive climbing uphill trail and we’ve been cleaning up all the other trails, but it has left kind of a gap in some of the fea-

tures and whatnot,” said Cheryl Beattie, the KPCC board member spearheading the expansion on the mountain above Paul Lake and about 25 minutes from Kamloops. “The cross-country people could ride to the top and then they could take this trail. You could take kids on it. It would just be a huge, signature trail in the area. It would be so popular.” The KPCC manages 75 kilometres of trails in Kamloops, including those at Harper, at the Kamloops Bike Ranch in Juniper and in the Pineview Valley system. The addition of the downhill to Harper’s 25-kilometre network comes with a price tag of $12,500, $5,000 of which the KPCC would contribute. Beattie said the new downhill section would be accessible both at the end of Ket’R Done and by shuttling or biking Paul Lake Road to the trailhead. “It would be just a great trail for all lev-

els of riders, too, and something unique in Kamloops. We don’t really have that kind of trail quite yet,” she said. “The goal would be to make it so even a six-year-old could have a good time on a proper bike.” The KPCC hopes to open the trail in the spring. The project will take about a month to complete and will begin once the snow clears and the ground thaws. Should the request for funds be denied by the TNRD, Beattie said the KPCC will pursue other avenues of funding. “We’ve made a commitment to start working on Harper. We’re trying to move it in a positive direction and clean it up — it’s beautiful up there, huge potential for riding,” she said. “We just want to improve the area. It has just fallen in a bit of disrepair over the years. “It’s really making a comeback now. “The goal is just to make it fun for everyone.”

Coke-ring manager awaits sentence CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A defence lawyer representing the manager of a local cocaine ring argued yesterday his client should not go to jail. The sentencing hearing for Steven Lloyd Currie marks the final chapter in a successful RCMP undercover operation that began in early 2012 and resulted in the arrest and conviction of seven of eight men involved. The eighth, Christopher Bayer, is wanted on an arrest warrant. Earlier this week, Richard Crawford — the overall leader of the ring selling powdered cocaine in $50 and $100 quantities — was sentence to five years in prison. The sentence was a joint submission from defence and Crown. Four of five street-level drug couriers who drove around Kamloops in a designated “work car” pleaded guilty to trafficking charges, each receiving some form of a conditional-sentence order with house arrest and terms of probation. The cocaine wholesaler, Jean-Claude Auger, received a four-year prison sentence, despite undertaking a public reha-

bilitation that included a series of videos outlining his actions and changed life. Defence lawyer Jordan Watt argued Currie — who has no criminal record — should also receive a conditional sentence order. Prosecutor John Walker recommended a four-year prison term. That gap between recommended sentences is unusually large. Because the crime occurred before a tougher sentencing law introduced by the then-Conservative government, there is no mandatory prison term. Currie, 30, pleaded guilty to a single charge of conspiracy to traffic cocaine, a higher-level charge than simple trafficking. Beginning in early 2012, police obtained a series of judicial approvals allowing them to wiretap the phones of Currie and Crawford, as well as a dial-a-dope line manned by the five drivers. Police also placed a tracking device on Currie’s BMW. Through those texts and phone calls, they learned Currie acted as a go-between with Auger and the five drivers, collecting cocaine from the wholesaler in return for cash and reloading drivers with product.

years ago when he worked in the student-services department that there were more aboriginal students being placed in modified programs. Each case was reviewed and changed so those who were capable of studying the regular curriculum were moved into that educational stream. If they needed some assistance, it was provided, deBruijn said. A report given to trustees last week showed the six-year completion rate for aboriginal students has steadily increased in the district, reaching 73 per cent for the 2014-2015 school year, which is higher than the provincial rate of 63 per cent. The percentage was composed of 176 aboriginal students graduating with a regular Dogwood certificate. The 2014-2015 school year cohort in the district was composed of 242 aboriginal students — 123 males and 119 females. Off-reserve students numbered 207 (71.5 per cent graduated) and on-reserve students totalled 35 (80 per cent graduated. Graduation rates were 76.4 per cent for the male students and 79 per cent for the female students.

A recent Ministry of Education announcement addressing what it called a disproportionately high number of aboriginal students receiving modified Evergreen certificates has little bearing on the KamloopsThompson board of education. Supt. Karl deBruijn said the district years ago stopped putting children on modified programs that would lead to the certificate at the conclusion of secondary education. The certificates were created for students classified as special needs and who are learning based on an individual education plan (IEP). The announcement, something deBruijn said had been expected “for a long time,” came at the request of the First Nations Education Steering Committee, the B.C. School Trustees’ Association and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. It was also recommended by the province’s auditor general last November. The ministry announced the certificates cannot be issued to students who don’t meet the two criteria of needs and an IEP. DeBruijn said School District 73 teachers and administrators noticed

“You can see from the beginning Mr. Currie’s role in making sure drivers have product,” Walker told B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop. “He has leadership in the sense drivers report at the end of the shift as to how much they sold,” In addition to having access to all the texts among couriers, Currie and Crawford, police also tailed some of the suspects and made drug buys as part of a sting. Walker read a series of texts highlighting the kind of niggling complaints familiar to any small business. Those included drivers complaining about a rude slacker on staff and asking Crawford, the drug ring’s owner, to get the manager, Currie, off their backs. Currie, in turn, complained drivers were late with payment and for work, while he had no time off. There was also constant banter between the manager and drug-ring leader that business was slow, with Crawford complaining he was behind on his mortgage payment and needed more business. The sentencing hearing is scheduled to continue today.

Over the years, the City of Kamloops has made budget meetings more personal with a chance to have your say. This format continues to work well and we invite you to be a part of the proposed 2016 supplemental budget discussions coming up.

We hear you, we think that’s a great idea. Feedback on the 2016 supplemental budget and sharing ideas for the 2017 budget helps ensure that staff has time to research items before they go to council for consideration.

Meeting Schedule Tuesday, February 23, 2016 7:00 - 10:00 pm Sandman Centre Parkside Lounge

That makes good sense and we invite you to provide some input on our budget process.

A former New Zealand politician accused of drowning his wife while on vacation in B.C. in 2010 told police his first instinct when he heard her body splash into a Revelstoke-area lake was to grab his fishing rod. The B.C. Supreme Court jury in Kamloops tasked with deciding Peter Beckett’s fate watched a 2.5-hour videotaped reenactment on Tuesday, taped with Beckett on Upper Arrow Lake 10 months after his wife’s death. Beckett, 59, is charged with first-degree murder in connection to the Aug. 18, 2010, drowning of Laura LettsBeckett. Her death on Upper Arrow Lake was initially ruled accidental, but a subsequent police investigation resulted in Beckett’s arrest one year later. The Crown has alleged Beckett killed his wife out of greed, hoping to cash in on lifeinsurance and accidental-death benefits, as well as her schoolteachers’ pension. Court heard Beckett was flown from Alberta to Revelstoke in an RCMP jet on June 10, 2011. He was then driven to Shelter Bay, on Upper Arrow Lake, where investigators took

him on a boat and had him painstakingly go over his version of events. Beckett has claimed his wife fell off of their Zodiac dinghy. He has said he had his back to her when she fell. Beckett said he could not get far enough underwater to rescue his wife, so he swam to shore, retrieved a rock and swam back out to her, where he used the stone to sink below the surface of the water and pull Letts-Beckett to shore. In the video, Beckett called the rock a “negative buoyancy compensator.” “My buoyancy is incredible,” he said. “I’m an incredibly, positively buoyant person.” Later, he suggested divine intervention helped him find the rock. “I knew that I only had one chance to get the rock right,” he said. “This rock just appeared to me, like a spiritual thing.” In the video, Beckett told investigators his first instinct when he heard the splash of his wife’s body hitting the water was to grab his fishing rod — something he called “fisherman’s instinct.” “When you hear a splash and you’re a fisherman, and you’re tuned into fishing, you think maybe a big one’s hit,” he said. “I didn’t think she had fallen over. That’s not initially what

came into my head.” Investigators pressed Beckett about the splash. “It sounded like somebody jumping into the water,” he said. “I mean, that’s what it sounded like. If you jumped over now, it sounded like that. “I thought I’d hit something or a big fish had jumped, which happens often on this lake.” In the video, Beckett referred repeatedly to the detective driving the police boat as “skipper.” He also offered investigators lessons on the feeding habits of trout and the differences between igneous versus sedimentary rocks. Beckett and Letts-Beckett met in 1995 in New Zealand. Five years later, he moved to Westlock, Alta., to be closer to her. The couple married in 2003. Previous witnesses have described their relationship as rocky. The Becketts split briefly in late 2007, but reconciled months later. Letts-Beckett also went to police alleging physical abuse on the part of her husband, but no charges were laid. Through her questioning, defence lawyer Donna Turko has suggested Letts-Beckett was depressed prior to her drowning. Beckett was formerly a city councillor in Napier, New Zealand. His trial, which began in mid-January, is expected to last three months.

City wants your ideas for KDN site Have ideas on what to do with the Kamloops Daily News building? The City of Kamloops will begin accepting them in March. Director of development and engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski said staff are in the process of finalizing the language for an expression of interest process for the former newspaper headquarters on Seymour Street. Because it’s a real-estate matter, council policy dictates councillors must review the wording first behind closed doors, Kwiatkowsi said. Once council has signed off, most likely in the first week of March, it will be time for the public to formally make pitches about the building’s future.

city purchased the property for $4.8 million, with plans to use the lot for off-street parking. After a $90-million arts centre and underground parkade proposal failed to attract public support in last fall’s referendum, the city had planned to tear down the building and create more parking stalls until a long-term use for the property was found. The demolition would have cost $1.1 million. Council voted earlier this year to leave the building standing for now and take suggestions for its use. One of those suggestions could include an alternative arts-centre plan, which Coun. Denis Walsh put forward on behalf of an as-yet-unnamed former planner. The plan would see the former KDN building preserved for office and rehearsal space, with stages built on other portions of the lot.

After some lengthy debate, the Kamloops-Thompson board of education opted this week to rename Beattie School of the Arts to McGill elementary when students and staff from Stuart Wood elementary move to Beattie’s McGill Road elementary campus in September. Stuart Wood is closing at the end of the school year and students at Beattie’s elementary campus will move to the former John Peterson secondary on Ninth Avenue, where they will join high school students in creating a K-12 arts school under a new name: Kamloops School of the Arts. Two name recommendations for Beattie’s elementary building were presented on Monday, both generated from two polls of the school community — Beattie or McGill elementary. One name, Beattie, has historical significance as it is named for the six daughters of Martin and Jean Beattie, all of whom taught in Kamloops from the late 1800s and into the 20th century. The other name, McGill, is in line with board policy to name schools geographically, said superintendent Karl deBruijn. Schools created in recent years have all followed the policy — Pacific Way, Parkcrest and McGowan Park elementaries, for example. The board opted for the nam-

Because of the move and bringing together elementary and secondary campuses of Beattie School of the Arts, a decision was made to rename the school, with the chosen monicker — Kamloops School of the Arts — edging out Kamloops Academy of Fine Arts, both of which were ideas born from school-community surveys. DeBruijn said arguments against the “Academy” name included a lack of any other school in the city bearing the academy tag and a debate on the definition of fine arts. Costs to change the names

should be minimal, deBruijn said. While in past years there would be stationery costs, most communication today is digital, so a simple adjustment to applications is required. Signage costs are anticipated to be low, he said, and there might be some other branding issues, such as new uniforms if existing ones bear the school’s former name. Renovations at the Beattie secondary site to accommodate incoming elementary students are estimated to be about $1.5 million, a cost already been worked into the district’s budget, deBruijn said. The board will also save money by no longer having to operate Stuart Wood, with the brick-clad heritage building and property owned by the City of Kamloops.

IT ALL STARTED WITH A PINK SHIRT

ou have to wonder if, back in 2007 while David Shepherd and Travis Price were buying a stack of 50 pink shirts, the pair could have imagined their bullying protest would spread around the world. Probably not. They were just trying to support a fellow student who was bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school. Next Wednesday, Feb. 24, for the ninth year, communities across Canada will celebrate Pink Shirt Day (or Anti-Bullying Day, if you prefer). It’s been five years since the United Nations took a stand and proclaimed May 4 International Anti Bullying Day. That’s pretty good return for the purchase of a stack of cheap T-shirts. Why do people, especially kids, bully others? There are so many reasons that it would never be possible to find one answer that would fit all situations. What is common, however, is their victims. Bullies have a knack for finding the kids that are unlikely to retaliate. And they chose them because the victim is different — skin colour, nationality, size, hair colour, shape of the nose, you name it, even the colour of shirt they choose to wear. Anyone who has been bullied knows the old adage, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me” is far from the truth. Name-calling and more aggressive forms of bullying do leave marks, marks that affect the victim for years to come. It’s a lot to ask from some pink shirts, but the annual reminder about the problem of bullying does offer hope our cultures may finally be growing up. Let’s hope the word continues to spread. Bullying will likely never be wiped out completely, but we can hope to reduce its hold on society, as has been done with the once-socially acceptable drinking and driving.

Warming to ward system

f there was ever a reason for Kamloops to rethink how it elects its municipal council, it can be found in the ongoing divisive debate about pools and roads. Consider this argument presented last week, one of several I’ve heard since the city threw out for comment a question on the need to have pools in two neighbourhoods: Why, the woman asked, should people who chose to live in a rural area — that would be Barnhartvale — demand improvements to a rural road when Brocklehurst and Westsyde need their pools? On the other hand, I’ve had several conversations with a Westsyde resident who wants to know why the city is thinking about closing that area’s pool and replacing it with something many who live there have clearly indicated they don’t want. Ditto for some Brock residents; one woman who used to live next to the pool decried the city even thinking about shutting down an amenity that thousands of people use every year. How does this relate to the way we elect our council? There is no one at city hall whose focus is to promote the needs of any of these areas. There is no one who lives in Westsyde who can speak from first-hand knowledge about the area. There is no one from Brocklehurst to represent those folks. Barnhartvale has no voice on council that is uniquely its own. Westsyde residents think they

Street

LEVEL have a voice in Coun. Dieter Dudy, but at a recent meeting of the community association, questions were raised about where Dudy is as the people who live out there fight to keep their pool open. At least one of the calls I’ve received asked the same question — why isn’t Dudy advocating for his own neighbourhood? Could it be due to the oftrepeated attitude city councillors represent all the people first? For those who argue a ward system would pit neighbourhoods against each other, here’s the reality — it’s already happening. Kamloopsians are taking shots at each other over which area should get or keep amenities and improvements they believe they should have. Returning to the pools-Todd Road improvement discussion, I suggested to the woman Barnhartvale may appear to be a rural area and, yes, it has a lot of large lots, but it’s still a part of the city and that road is not safe. How, she asked, do I know?

Because I’ve walked it, I replied, to which she asked why. The conversation dulled when I explained I did it to find out how bad Todd Road is, to see what it’s like for the people who live up there and have to use it regularly. Sometimes you have to be familiar with an area to understand the issues there. That’s why it’s time for Kamloopsians to start the conversation on ensuring all are treated on an equal basis because we all pay the same tax rate to the same building downtown. There’s a reason why all the attention seems to go to the two retail districts in the city — Tranquille Market and the downtown core. Nobody is speaking up for the rest of the city. Live in those areas and you get the great bus service. Businesses are encouraged to move there. Builders are urged to follow the city’s in-filling mantra. The rest of us can live with the lousy service, with foreverfor-sale retail, industrial and commercial sites and with pools that are left to deteriorate until they reach a point where, well, of course we need to shut them down. We can live with no sidewalks and, for those in Barnhartvale, no curbs, either. We can live with having two classes of citizens because there’s no one with any clout saying it’s wrong. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WE HAVE A RIGHT TO A FRENCH EDUCATION Editor: I was among those who lined up at Lloyd George elementary on Sunday, Feb. 14, in an attempt to register for the French immersion program. I arrived just after 11 p.m. and was told people started lining up at 1 p.m. Apparently, by the time we arrived, the available spots were already taken, but that was not confirmed until the principal arrived the next morning at 7 a.m. My daughter and nephew were students at Lloyd George in the first year of French immersion in Kamloops. At that time, it was our right

to have our children educated in French. After all, that is one of our country’s official languages. Now I am told that for my grandchildren, this is now a school of choice. When did we lose that right? I am in favour of schools of choice, but just because a parent is an artist or a scientist doesn’t mean their child has a right to go to an arts- or science-based school. Our family is French and we do have a right to expect a French education in Canada. Lavrene Borton Kamloops

Parents line up outside Lloyd George elementary on the weekend in what has become an annual first-come, first-served competition to register their kids in the French immersion program.

sponsored by the various clubs here, including the Rotary Bandshell, the Rotary Skatepark and the McQueen Lake Environmental Centre, which was spearheaded by Rotarian and Order of Canada recipient Ralph Shaw. I’m proud to say my grandfather, Ray Serl, was a member of Shaw’s club when the environmental centre was launched back in 1972 and was active in getting those facilities up and running. With specific regard to Ribfest, the organizing club is Kamloops Daybreak and not the Rotary Club of Kamloops, as the article erroneously claims. While I am not privy to Ribfest’s financial details, I do know what community groups and initiatives Daybreak helps fund. They include Big Brother Big Sisters, Kamloops Sports Council, Interior Grasslands Cycling Club, Operation Red Nose, Kamloops Food Bank, Breakfast for Babies, Boys and Girls Club, Pit Stop, Thompson Rivers University, YMCA/YWCA, Toys for Kids, Out of the Ashes, Cops for Kids, RIH Foundation, Rotaract,

Once again, apologies for how we Rotarians have been remiss in letting the community know why we have historically been given preferential rates on use of facilities. It would be my pleasure and privilege to invite Walsh to be my guest at one of our club meetings so he may gain firsthand knowledge about Rotary.

In the article in question, Coun. Denis Walsh is quoted as saying the city should ask the Rotary Club of Kamloops to pay a larger fee to present Ribfest, as in his words: “To me, these guys are making out like bandits.” I feel saddened by Walsh’s statement, not because of his less-than-kind analogy, but because his words make it evident we Rotarians have manifestly failed at informing the public as to who we are and what we do with the proceeds of events like Ribfest.

While Thompson Rivers University Faculty Association (TRUFA) president Tom Friedman isn’t optimistic further talks will help resolve his union’s issues with the university’s administration, the school’s president, Alan Shaver, is more hopeful. Shaver said he knows what it means to be a professor, having been one for more than three decades before being hired to head Thompson Rivers University. Many in administration were also professors at one time, Shaver said, and they all want their faculty “to have great careers, to be wonderful teachers. That’s our DNA.” Collegial governance was a major issue in the recent collective-bargaining talks between the faculty association and the administration. Friedman said an improvement in the role faculty plays in running the university wasn’t obtained in the contract both sides have voted to accept, a document created by mediator Mark Brown, who decided resolution was impossible. He wrote a set of recommended contract clauses and directed both sides to vote on them. “No one in administration has acknowledged the need for collegial governance,” Friedman said. Shaver, however, countered faculty has “a high level of engagement in all things academic, a very long list.” He went on to note Brown’s recommendation that both sides address the issue in the coming months is a chance “to establish where there is opportunity for faculty to have more impact.” Although his union voted 91 per cent to approve the new contract, which covers a five-year period from April 1, 2014, to March 31, 2019, that vote doesn’t mean they were happy, Friedman said, “We made it clear this is as good as we can get right now,” he said of the message he gave faculty. “They just wanted to put all the uncertainty behind them, but this wasn’t a settlement. The mediator ended up deciding.” Friedman said two positive components include raising the sessional (part-time instructor) course rate to $6,200 in 2018 — they now are paid $5,200 per course — and establishing an ad hoc committee to address workload. That committee, Shaver said, will be composed of deans and chairs who will look at “where things are working and why they’re working,” to determine if they can be transferred to other areas to improve teaching, scholarship and service. Throughout bargaining, TRUFA pursued its concern administration at TRU has grown exponentially since the university was created in 2005, while faculty growth has been minimal. Friedman said in the past decade, the number of administrators has increased by 186 per cent and the associated cost has grown by 350 per cent. Shaver said one area of immediate growth in administration came in 2007 when TRU absorbed the Open Learning division, which came with many administration positions. Its 150 faculty is represented by its own union, which reached a contract settlement in January 2015. The 400 members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees at the university settled last September. Shaver noted statistics from the Canadian Association of University Business Officers show that of 10 B.C. universities studied, TRU was tops in academic expenditures (65.3 per cent) and fourth of10 universities in administrative and general expenditures, all of which was achieved despite TRU having the same block grant as the previous year. “It’s been going on for a decade and it’s extremely challenging,” he said.

Tournament Capital under siege? MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only room for one Tournament Capital of Canada, according to Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar. But an $85-million renovation to Rexall Place could make Edmonton the Tournament Capital of Canada, according to Northlands CEO Tim Reid, who made the announcement yesterday at a press conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They would be in for a surprise if they try to pursue the official tagging, given that we do have those slogans trademarked,â&#x20AC;? Milobar said. The City of Kamloops registered the Tournament Capital of Canada trademark in March 2002 and the logo, designed by Vaughn Warren, became the symbol of Kamloops. Reid suggested the Tournament Capital of Canada slogan during the unveiling of Northlandsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plans for Vision 2020, which involves morphing Rexall into the Northlands Ice Coliseum, a large-scale facility that would include seven sheets of ice. The Edmonton Oilers will be leaving Rexall Place later this year for a new downtown arena. Milobar flippantly tweeted a reply â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;. . . in for a shock when they try to register the name #Kamloops is already Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tournament Capitalâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim and the mayor is just having fun with it, for now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was more a lighthearted way to let them know we already are the Tournament Capital of Canada and that we are semiserious in that we do take our branding seriously,â&#x20AC;? Milobar said of his tweet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe he [Reid] had it in his mind after all the great coverage we got from Hockey Day in Canada and being that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also hosting the [2016 Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Hockey Championship]. Maybe the catchiness was stuck in his head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it as them starting a rebranding exercise. I understand the context in which it was said.â&#x20AC;? There has been no indication the City of Edmonton has considered adopting the

Northlands CEO Tim Reid said Edmonton could become the Tournament Capital of Canada, thanks to his companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to revamp Rexall Place.

tagline and several news reports say the slogan proposed by Northlands is the Hockey Tournament Capital of Canada. As for the addition of the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hockeyâ&#x20AC;? and how that relates to copyright, Milobar said that would be left to

trademark lawyers to figure out. Last April, Edmonton city council voted to remove the City of Champions slogan from seven Welcome to Edmonton signs and Mayor Don Iveson said the city had entered a â&#x20AC;&#x153;post-slogan era.â&#x20AC;?

O CANADA!

The City of Champions tagline was adopted following the devastating tornado of July 31, 1987, that killed 27 people. Then-mayor Lawrence Decore likened the response of the community as that of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;city of champions.â&#x20AC;? The slogan has since been linked to the numerous Stanley Cups and Grey Cups won by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey and football teams, respectively. The motto had become a lighting rod for ridicule, given the NHL clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-documented struggles following the dynasty era of the 1980s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get in the midst of all that,â&#x20AC;? Milobar said when asked about Edmontonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to nix the moniker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With their last draft pick in Mr. McDavid, they may be wanting to revisit that sooner than later, in terms of the Oilers reclaiming their glory. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll leave that to Edmonton to figure out.â&#x20AC;? The City of Champions slogan was vandalized in October of 2013 and covered up on six city signs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Suck it Calgary,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;City of Speed Trapsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Road Construction Cityâ&#x20AC;? were among the new slogans that were cleaned up by city crews. If Edmonton city council does decide to pursue a new tagline, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one they can cross off their list, Milobar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can consider it all they like, but we have it protected, so they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be kind of like them wanting to rename themselves Coke or McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;?

First Memorial Funeral Service

To Geoff’s friends and acquaintances: We regret to inform you that Geoff passed away suddenly on February 8th, 2016. Geoff had a strength of character that was evident in the way he lived his life. He was a devoted husband to Fran and an inspirational Dad to his three children Errol, Evelyn and Ian. He was Gran’pa Penny to his six grandchildren Kelsey and Cassidy (Errol), Nova and Dax (Evelyn and Ian Bishop), Clara and Nolan (Heather and Ian Penny). He was born in Cape Town, South Africa, into a close-knit family. He was a brother to Pat, Ann, and Barbara. In the 60’s, his strong sense of adventure saw him travelling by scooter or in a Gazetta, throughout Europe and Scandinavia. When he explored Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Israel, his mode of transportation was his thumb. After he retired from the electrical department at Weyerhaeuser Pulp Mill, he became a snowbird, and spent his time bobbing around the Sea of Cortez on the Baja in a twelve foot zodiac doing what he loved: fishing. “The Big Ones” didn’t get away. To his Baja friends his nickname was Mr. Fix-It. He gave a willing hand to anyone who needed something repaired. No service by request. There will be a family gathering in August. “He didn’t follow where the path led, but blazed his own trail.”

ARNOLD OSBORNE DAWSON January 18, 1936 - February 10, 2016 Born in Smith Falls, Ont.

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Arnold Dawson at Kamloops hospital after a courageous fight with cancer and pneumonia. He leaves to mourn, his wife Pat of 46 years, daughter Jennie Dawson, sons Dale Dawson and Derry (Kyla) Dawson, grandsons Tanner and Bradley and granddaughter Hailey, sisters Joyce Davis and Judy (Bill) Budau of Ontario plus numerous nieces, nephews and family in B.C. and Ontario. He was predeceased by his dad John, mom Eva and sisters Jean Holland and Gwen Youde. Camping and fishing with family and friends and enjoying the odd “cool one” on a hot day was a precious part of his life. “Bush Creek” and “Humamilt Lake” were just the very “BEST!” Working as a mechanic in the East, Port Alberni, Kamloops and Chase, then for himself with Chase Towing and later for Mattey Bros., he had a busy life but a good one with many friends along the way. He also spent a few years driving the school bus in Chase where he enjoyed all the students. Gambling trips were a fun part of his life and even the short day trips to nearby casinos were great. A Celebration of Arnold’s Life will be held on Saturday February 20th at 11:00 am at the Chase Community Hall with refreshments to follow. Should friends desire please donate to the Children’s Hospital. Online condolences can be sent to www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

NATIONAL NEWS BUSINESS

Bombardier cutting 7,000 jobs in two years ROSS MAROWITS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Bombardier announced yesterday it will eliminate 7,000 positions over two years — more than a third in Canada — in the latest effort by the country’s largest aerospace company to turn itself around as it awaits word of federal aid. The Montreal-based firm said the layoffs will include 2,830 jobs in Canada, including 2,400 in Quebec. Nearly half of all the cuts would be at Bombardier Transportation, its rail division, which will lose 3,200 jobs. The news resulted in an immediate call for federal assistance from the province’s premier. “I want to reiterate that there is no way — no way — that the federal government should not invest in Bombardier, in the CSeries,’’ Philippe Couillard said in Quebec. “If the auto industry has

been supported by taxpayer money, which is fine, then the aeronautical industry of Montreal needs also to be supported.’’ Bombardier employs about 74,000 people around the world, according to its website. The cuts will be partly offset by hiring in certain areas, particularly as Bombardier plans to ramp up production of the new CSeries jets, the company said. Layoff notices are expected to be issued in the coming weeks and completed by next year. No job losses are anticipated at the company’s commercial aircraft business segment, which supplies airlines with passenger planes including the CSeries, which Bombardier has had trouble selling. Amid the bad news, there was a sign that Bombardier could be reviving its fortunes: a letter of intent that could see Air Canada buy 45 CSeries 300 planes, with an option to buy up to 30 more. “We are delighted to

announce this important agreement with Bombardier for the purchase of CS-300 aircraft as part of the ongoing modernization of Air Canada’s narrow-body fleet,’’ Calin Rovinescu, Air Canada president and CEO, said in a statement. “With its high fuel efficiency performance and greater seating capacity, the next-generation technology of the C Series is very well-suited for our current and future network strategy and will be an extremely efficient addition to our fleet.’’ Bombardier CEO Alain Bellemare said the company is reviving its fortunes. “We are turning Bombardier around,’’ he said during a conference call. “We have a plan to make this great company stronger and more competitive.’’ The CSeries is Bombardier’s new generation of aircraft for commercial airlines, in development for more than a decade as an alternative to smaller-model passenger jets.

Pork recalls in Alberta due to possible E. coli THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Canada’s food safety watchdog has announced a recall of some raw pork products in Alberta due to possible E. coli contamination. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said the recall involves products produced by Hillview Meat Processor that were distributed to seven stores in Calgary. The products include raw fresh or frozen meat cuts, ground pork, sausages, and ready-to-eat products. The agency said consumers

should not eat these products and restaurants, retailers, distributors and manufacturers should not serve or use them. The CFIA said the recall was triggered by an investigation into people getting sick, but no illnesses have been definitively linked to the products. E. coli O157:H7 can cause symptoms including nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and bloody diarrhea. In severe cases people may have seizures or strokes, suffer permanent kidney damage or die.

Latest foot found is human VICTORIA — The BC Coroners Service confirms that a second foot found washed up near Port Renfrew on the west coast of Vancouver Island is human and matches another foot that was found several days earlier in the same area. The first foot was found by a hiker on Feb. 7 and a second running shoe containing a foot was found last week. The Coroners Service said it appears both feet separated naturally from the rest of the body due to

prolonged immersion in water and there is no indication of trauma or mechanical severance. Efforts are now under way to try to identify the individual concerned and determine a cause of death using DNA testing. Fourteen feet have now washed up along the B.C. coastline since 2007. The BC Coroners Service has identified 10 of the previous 12 feet, belonging to seven individuals. — The Canadian Press

Food trends for 2016: Innovative veggie dishes, sweet-heat combos and bone broth

Toast is surging in popularity, the ‘kale revolution’ is over and hummus is the new salsa

LOIS ABRAHAM

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Trend watchers, chefs and foodies alike stand united on vegetables — once lowly or overlooked as a side, they’re being elevated to a starring role. Christine Couvelier says 2015 was an amazing year for vegetables and the root-to-leaf movement will continue in 2016 with more creative preparations, from grilling and smoking to roasting and charring. “We thought seeing whole roasted cauliflowers was a wow on some menus, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg,’’ says the Victoria-based Couvelier, whose Culinary Concierge company helps clients around North America keep ahead of market trends. “I think it’s a continuation on understanding fresh and local and being very innovative and creative in the kitchen,’’ she says. “I think a lot of it also is consumers’ understanding the health benefits around that style of eating, too. We’re not saying not to have meat but all in proportion and looking to vegetables to fill a great deal of the plate.’’ Couvelier recently noshed on “spectacular’’ grilled rainbow carrots with creme fraiche and pistachio carrot-top pesto at Vendemmia in Seattle. Quebec celebrity chef Ricardo Larrivee has found brussels sprouts on many restaurant menus, including roasted and presented at the table on the stalk with vinegar syrup and grated cheese. Donna Dooher, president and CEO of Restaurants Canada, says the nation’s eaters have moved

Don’t call it a comeback. Toast has been here for years. But, according to Victoria-based concierge Christine Couvelier, the go-to breakfast staple is now a popular item on restaurant menus.

beyond the kale revolution. “It was kale on everything, kale this and kale that, kale chips. I think squash is going to come back with gangbusters. There’s so many varieties. It’s easy to grow here in Canada.’’ Larrivee predicts the comeback of the Jerusalem artichoke, or sunchoke. The gnarly tuber can be served as a puree and in soup, and its yellow flowers make a colourful addition to the garden. Couvelier also sees hummus emerging as the new salsa, juice bars as the new coffee shops, and fried chicken being the new pork belly. Fried chicken, often paired

with waffles, can feature different seasonings and be made spicy, sweet, brined or crusted. High in protein and fibre and low in fat, hummus can be an appetizer, dip, spread or part of a main course. “It’s recognizable in its original form and accepted, so now people are branching out and they’re eager to try something different,’’ says Couvelier, who’s had black bean hummus, edamame hummus with roasted red peppers, spicy yellow lentil hummus and, her favourite, a zesty Sriracha carrot hummus. Increasingly popping up on restaurant menus is toast. “It is certainly a very innovative

dish to develop recipes and thoughts around. I’m watching it as the ingredient of the year,’’ says Couvelier. “A lot of restaurants I’ve been in in the last six or nine months, they have great toast offerings.’’ She’s had pickled anchovies and tomato toast and smoked chicken and walnut Waldorf toast at Steak Bird Provisions in San Francisco. Purple Pig in Chicago has a menu section called Smears, with toast and toppings including roasted bone marrow, liver pate, or pork neckbone gravy with ricotta. “It can be any time of day — breakfast, lunch, snacking,

appetizer, for dinner. You can share it,’’ she says of eating toast. Restaurateurs are also embracing more customer choice. “We now see the phenomenon of what we call the clockless menu, so ‘I want to eat when I want, what I want, where I want 24-7.’ All-day breakfast is huge right now and we’re seeing that creep into the dinner service as well,’’ says Dooher. Operators are also deconstructing the plate, then charging for each item separately. “Everything is about construct your own: Construct your own burger, construct your own risotto, construct your own dinner.’’

Amanda in Wonderland Local artist’s whimsical, organic pottery has earned her a Mayor’s Award for the Arts. KTW visited her Sahali studio to learn more about her creative history JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

manda Eccleston barely passed her first clay class at Thompson Rivers University. “Even though I didn’t do well, it was one of my favourite classes to make work for,”the 30-year-old artist said. “I just loved making it.” She bounced between painting and clay before ultimately focusing her fine-arts degree on the threedimensional form, following advice from an instructor who encouraged her to go further with “organic and frilly things,” she said.

She honed her craft — experimenting with a style since compared to barnacles and Alice in Wonderland — and went on to win the Helen Pitt Fund for Fine Arts Graduating Year Award, decided on by the TRU arts department. Eight years later, Eccleston has received a Mayor’s Award for the Arts, which she tied for with renowned carver Vaughn Warren, for outstanding achievement in the craft and design category. “I was elated that they gave it to both of us,” Eccleston said. They received the award on Jan. 30 at the annual Mayor’s Gala for the Arts and KTW recently caught up with Eccleston at her Sahali home, where she operates The Clay Chimera Studio. Her work adorns her front entryway — much of the art she gave to her husband before they moved in together — and her workspace is on that lower-level of her home, constructed, in part, from cabinets salvaged after kitchen renovations. Her newer cupboards, upstairs, are filled with mugs she has created because her pottery is fully functional — microwave-, ovenand dishwasher-safe. After graduating from TRU in 2008, the Lillooet native bought a wheel and kiln and created pottery on a part-time basis, while odd jobs supplemented her income. Eccleston recalled days spent working at a cafe and others filming for the Kamloops Arts Council. She managed an art gallery in Aberdeen, rearranging the walls with large prints from artists like Robert Bateman, until it shut down and Eccleston was laid off. It was then the young artist sought advice from a career counsellor and signed up for a free self-employment program through employment insurance and Community Futures.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Amanda Eccleston showcases her aqua-blue and purple teapots in her Sahali home-based The Clay Chimera Studio. The local artist was recently recognized for outstanding achievement in craft and design.

Eccleston shows no sign of slowing down in 2016 From B1

She didn’t love the business end of art at first, but soon Eccleston found that putting things like start-up costs, equipment inventory and future goals down on paper were beneficial as she grew into an entrepreneur. “When I look back at the business plan I did for Community Futures, I have achieved most of the goals I did in the plan,” Eccleston said. Her resume is lengthy. Those interested in seeing her famed aqua blue teapots can find her work on display and for sale at the Kamloops Art Gallery — but she is no stranger to Chazou Gallery, the Kamloops Arts Council and Art in the Park. And, she shows no sign of slowing down. Eccleston will take her work on the road for the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo in April and make her way up to Sun Peaks this year for A Taste of Art.

— AMANDA ECCLESTON

“I stopped drinking coffee and it’s all good,” she said with a laugh. While Eccleston looks forward to taking a couple of students under her wing, the self-described introvert finds solace in working alone at her home studio. Her day-to-day routine involves getting up, having breakfast, feeding her birds and starting work around noon, continuing pieces she began the day before or throwing new ones, attaching handles or decorating. She makes about 40 items at once and it takes six to eight weeks to complete them all, but she will spend about four hours working on each piece — not including letting it sit, firing or letting it dry. She recently created a batch of bottles with handles and spouts. “I never make these, so I just wanted to make a few

pieces I don’t usually make to start off the year with some fun,” she said. While Eccleston appreciates her time alone at work — she said if people don’t energize her, they suck her energy and she needs time alone to recharge — being a visual artist can be a “very lonely existence.” “People distract you when they’re in the room, so you have to spend a lot of hours working on your own,” she said. To balance that seclusion, she FaceTimes with family while she works, propping an iPad up on the counter, or listens to music and podcasts. Also keeping her company these days is Fred, a resin-built anatomically correct skeleton she recently purchased for reference purposes while experimenting with adding full skeletons onto her work. “I’m really enjoying pair-

ing the bones and the skulls with all of the organic motifs,” Eccleston said. She hopes to bring to her new, lighter wheel to Riverside Park this summer to do demonstrations during Canada Day celebrations. She’ll continue her online shop on Etsy, despite it being a bit more difficult to sell ceramics on the web. “People like to feel them before they buy,” she said. Finally, Eccleston hopes to continue growing as an artist. She wants to experiment with glazing techniques she learned in a sculpture class last year. She’s submitting one of the pieces, called Burlesque, she had created in that workshop for the Arts Council’s upcoming Art Exposed exhibit, but will also submit a wearable costume she designed for a cartoon character from the show ReBoot. “I really enjoy breaking apart from the mediocre and doing things I don’t regularly do,” Eccleston said. “It always changes my regular work.” For more on Eccleston, go online to claychimera.ca.

STRONG KIDS

t’s safe to say most of us haven’t kept up with the workouts Dayana Rescigno assigned us this time last year. I’m guessing the boot camp and barre classes she put us through are what turned away the likes of Marty Hastings and Tim Petruk. But, for the rest of us, Kamloops This Week’s Press Time team is back competing in the YMCA-YWCA Strong Kids Challenge. Despite having a powerhouse social media team last year and taking home an award for our sweaty tweets, we have rebuilt. First, we have a new trainer. Marlene Hibbs may not work in the KTDubz office like Dayana, but she appears to be just as

on the ball, having customized exercise plans for each of us and even encouraging us to wear superhero outfits to our team photo. Sorry, Marlene, but no. Next up, we have Serena Platzer, who has been training for years in KTW’s circulation

department, whipping paperboys and papergirls into shape. Sweetheart sales lady Linda Skelly has taken out insurance for her commitment to the team by joining forces with a partner outside of Press Time to keep herself on track and accountable.

Then, there’s Tara Holmes, the leader of our group. Some of you might be thinking we chose Tara to lead because she’s the loudest and most connected person on the team. But, you’d be wrong. We chose her because she has had a personal vendetta — a competitive killer instinct — ever since KTW publisher Kelly Hall jumped over to another team this year. He says he did it

to allow more KTW employees to participate. But mark our words, Kelly, with Tara’s laugh taking a much eviler tone “muah ah ahhh” when echoing through the walls on Dalhousie Drive — this means war. We’ll miss Nevin Webster this year — we’ll have to embrace our shortcomings without a scapegoat — but two-year Press Time veterans Adam Williams, Jessica

Klymchuk and myself are hoping to pick up the slack. While Klym is in fine form from winter wine glass aerobics, Adam is hot off the completion of a 30-day January fitness challenge. I’m hoping to land somewhere in between — maybe a glass of wine after a workout kind of deal. Whatever the case, we’re all in it together. It’s easy to get competitive when setting fitness goals — beyond Kelly, I’m calling out Raffelina Sirianni and Chad Harris to bring the heat this year — but it all comes down to fundraising and awareness. The goal of the campaign is to raise $100,000 between Feb. 15 and March 14 to help 1,000 kids participate in healthy programming at the Y. That includes things like gym memberships and swimming lessons but also sending kids to camp. All of the funds

will stay in our community. Press Time is tasked with raising $1,500 and we’re ready to work for that money, raffling concert tickets and a swanky hotel package, thanks to the folks down at DoubleTree by Hilton, and with the return of our car wash. Weather permitting, we’re scheduling it for March 5 at City Centre Auto Service, at 963 Victoria St., and we will do our best (no promises) to actually clean the vehicles properly this year. Mark your calendar and we’ll tell you more about it later in the challenge. We’ll also provide some updates along the way about our strengths and struggles.

Curious about the birds and the bees? Beekeeping, backyard chicken workshops reach maximum capacity prior to Saturday events JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

urity Farm and Garden will be buzzing this weekend when it hosts a pair of packed seminars on backyard bees and chickens. While the garden centre has been holding educational seminars for more than five years, last year’s beekeeping workshop was a first. “It was fantastic,” manager Danica Wilkinson said. “We were at about 80 people.” Wilkinson said beginner beekeepers were keen to learn the ABC’s of setting up a hive and producing honey. In its second year,

“

Bees are not wasps. People will get very confused. Wasps are attracted to human food. Bees are not attracted to that.

”

— DANICA WILKINSON

about 120 people have already registered for Saturday’s session, Home Hive Basics, which will be preceded by Raising a Small Flock on backyard chickens. In 2014, Kamloops city council amended animal control bylaws to allow beekeeping in single and two-family residential zones. A minimum size of 370 square meters is required and it is not permitted in strata developments or commercial and industrial areas. Wilkinson said the average city lot, depending on size, is legally allowed two

beehives and she said there are misconceptions about the docile creatures. “Bees are not wasps,” she said. “People will get very confused. Wasps are attracted to human food. Bees are not attracted to that. “They’re attracted to the pollen in flowers, sugars in flowers. If they come around humans, that means they have no other food around.” According to the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture, beekeeping plays a key role in the production of fruit and forage crops. Wilkinson said it

costs between $400 and $900 all-in to get a hive started in the first year, which can yield between 30 to 50 pounds of honey. They run about $100 to maintain annually and can produce up to 120 pounds of honey in subsequent years, depending on the season and how much time and space is committed. “It’s sort of the perfect hobby,” Wilkinson said. “You can produce as much honey as you want.” Backyard chickens, on the other hand, are not allowed under city bylaws — though a plan for urban chick-

ens is in the works — but they are permitted in rural areas. “There’s a ton of backyard chickens

within the TNRD,” Wilkinson said. Is there a time when Kamloopsians could see the birds and the

bees in one backyard? “Absolutely,” Wilkinson said. “Chickens keep away a lot of the bugs that would attack the bees . . . they work really well together.” Those wishing to learn more about beekeeping or backyard chickens can drop by Purity Feed, at 471 Okanagan Way or call 250-372-2233. The store will preorder bee colonies and chickens this month. The Kamloops Beekeepers Club also holds beekeeping courses and welcomes new members on an ongoing basis.

The Toyota Prius has never been a looker, but the 2016 model comes with a sleek, lower stance, which is about as close to sporty as it gets with the hybrid.

KEITH MORGAN

DRIVEWAY CANADA

drivewaycanada.ca

t would be no more than an unimaginative statement of the obvious to describe the allnew 2016 Toyota Prius, as a gas/electric hybrid-powered car. Obvious, perhaps, because since its launch back in 1997, its nameplate has only ever been offered with a hybrid power unit. Clever marketing ensured Prius became

synonymous with green driving and the badge showed owners were environmentally conscious. Since then, Toyota has sold more than 3.5-million Prius models largely on the strength of that green cred. No surprise that the fourth-generation model is a hybrid, but placing the emphasis on that fact is totally inadequate and undersells its other attributes. The Japanese giant has not abandoned the trumpeting of the car’s green nature, but it’s much more

low key in its new marketing campaign. Instead, Toyota is trying to persuade potential buyers that this new version is ready to compete in the mainstream against conventional gas-powered sedans based on price, performance, technology, safety and, yes, looks. Let’s get the latter point out of the way, right away. It has never been a looker — but with its new sleek, lower stance, it is as close to sporty as you are likely to get in a Prius. It appears, to these eyes, that red livery gives

it a sharpest appearance, but blue looks good, too. I am less enthused about paler renderings. Toyota Canada vicepresident Stephen Beatty said the brand wants to “break the cycle of psychology about gas prices fuelling hybrid sales.” At the risk of incurring the wrath of the Toyota marketing department — not that it would bother me — that’s going to be a tough sell.

DRIVE WAY

Price is right with 2016 Toyota Prius From B7

The 2016 edition achieves still more fuel-economy gains and that will continue as a purchase persuader. And the price is right, an equal driver of sales in my opinion: three trims starting at $25,995, which is $300 less than the outgoing third-generation model. Opening the doors reveals some things don’t change. As is the norm, the instrument panel is in the centre, which always takes me a few drives to get used to. What is different is the arrangement of the info screens, all the stuff you need to pilot

safely features on a pair of sideby-side LED screens, which essentially form a single display, and that sits neatly above a larger infotainment screen separated by the heating vents. The base console is an uninspiring black plastic, but it’s replaced by an off-white colour on the other trims. That might take time to grow on me. The enlarged platform, smaller batteries and reconfiguration of where they sit, behind and under the rear seat translates into much more cabin room and a more comfy rear seat ride. (Incidentally, the base model keeps the nickelmetal-hydride units, whereas

the top trim with a technology package used the lithium-ion battery.) The Toyota Safety Sense system will be available on all but the base model: Pre-collision system, lane departure alert, automatic high beams and dynamic radar cruise control. A technology package will add blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, full-colour heads up display, an intelligent parking and warning system with 12 sonar sensors positioned around the vehicle. This will give the driver the opportunity to park — parallel or perpendicular — without laying a hand on the steering wheel. That’s what an additional $590

gets you, along with heated front seats. Even the most loaded editions barely pass $33,000. Promise I’ll get behind that wheel soon. The new Prius uses a revised version of Toyota’s 1.8-litreAtkinson cycle engine. The official fuel-economy numbers are not out yet, but internal testing revealed a fuel efficiency of 4.5L/100KM (city/highway combined). The launch drive in Vancouver suggested the 4.5 number is far from being a dream. Okay, we’re off. Normal and Power driving modes suggest this actually might be a fun drive.

Normal errs on the side of economy-optimized performance. Power packs some fun into the Prius, without serious compromising fuel economy. The car is a gem in the city, as you would expect, and spirited on the highway, especially when the Power mode is selected. To be fair, I didn’t feel the need to explore my inner Boy Racer too many times. Looking forward to spending a week in the car when I can truly put it to the test in realworld conditions.
