INSIDE THE MIND OF A KILLER Mark Lindsay has admitted to murdering his ex-girlfriend in Alberta and to attacking an undercover Mountie and blinding a prison cellmate.

While his murder trial in Red Deer has yet to begin, a judge in Kamloops has decided Lindsay is not criminally responsible for the assaults due to a mental disorder. KTW has the psychiatric report and a letter from the father of Dana Turner, whom Lindsay killed in 2011.

What happened to George of Minos?

The sudden disappearance of well-known restaurateur and sale of eatery has tongues wagging

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

In the wake of the disappearance of its former owner, staff at Minos restaurant in North Kamloops have been assured they will be paid wages owed to them.

Dana-Leigh Tomada, one of the employees left wondering about her work future when it became apparent owner George Georgiou had left town, said new owners came into the well-known Tranquille Road restaurant on Friday, March 15, introduced themselves and told staff not to worry about money or the future of the establishment.

Tomada said the owners include a man she knows only as Gus, who said he had owned the restaurant before Georgiou took over.

Tomada said staff was told nothing will change, that their jobs are safe, that the menu will not change and that the restaurant will stay open.

In fact, she said, Gus noted some of the recipes

on the menu are ones he developed when he owned the restaurant.

Rumours are swirling about why Georgiou relinquished the restaurant and where he is now.

However, Tomada said she had been told Georgiou had gone to Montreal, where his two sons live. She said Georgiou’s wife, Stella, is still in town, living in the Batchelor Heights house the couple now has up for sale.

Calls to the home have not been returned.

Others have heard Georgiou is in Greece.

Tomada has worked for Georgiou twice in the past — her latest stint began in December and she works the day shift — and said she was stunned by recent occurrences.

“I thought I knew George,” she said.

“But, he’s been evasive for weeks. There’s been a whirlwind of uncertainty.”

Tomada said the last time Georgiou was seen in the restaurant was on Sunday, March 10, when he hosted a party for local RCMP officers and a provincial liquor inspector.

According to an employee of Minos, the Greek restaurant on Tranquille Road has a new owner and nobody seems to know where well-known former owner George Georgiou has gone — or why he left. KTW photo

New NSBIA manager let go a month into job

SPECIAL PRICES AVAILABLE

Mar. 20 - Mar. 25

By Andrea Klassen

STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

For the second time in five months, the North Shore Business Improvement Association (NSBIA) has parted ways with its general manager.

Interim board president Lynda Douglas told KTW the NSBIA decided to fire Lyn Hellyar in a special in-camera meeting on Tuesday, March 5.

Hellyar started with the organization on Feb. 1 and was still within her probationary period as GM when she was let go.

“There were some concerns from our stakeholders and from our board,” Douglas said.

“Through the hiring process she interviewed well. She had tons of knowledge at the BIA level.

However, it became apparent she was not a good fit.”

Douglas declined to specify what the concerns were, because they were raised at an in-camera session, but said Hellyar wasn’t suited to run a BIA the size of the North Shore’s.

Hellyar wasn’t without controversy in her previous role as the head of the West End Business Improvement Association in Vancouver.

In 2008, she gained national attention when she announced plans to permanently remove pride flags from the gay village. The flags eventually went back up.

Her departure from the Vancouver organization in 2012 was subject to legal discussions.

Meanwhile, NSBIA president Jeff Richards has also stepped down from his role on the board.

Douglas said the board will begin the hiring process again, but with Artwalk and the association’s A&W Charity Plus Golf Tournament around the corner, the board’s short-term focus is on events, not on hiring.

“It’s a critical time for the BIA,” she said.

“As a board, we’re just going to focus on the events we have at hand.”

While the NSBIA’s mandate is up for renewal this year, Douglas said Hellyar’s firing doesn’t signal trouble for the group.

“I think we have a dedicated, talented board and our stakeholders see that we all believe in the North Shore and we love the landscape,” she said.

The NSBIA lost its previous general manager in November, 2012, when Peter Mutrie abruptly resigned at a board meeting.

DRUMMING IN SPRING David Thompson students Shae Boisclair (left) and Hudson Davoren join their classmates in a skit welcoming Mother Earth. The students were at Henry Grube Education Centre on Friday, March 16, to participate in the Interior Indian Friendship Society’s annual celebration to mark the passing of winter into spring. This was the first time a local elementary school was invited to take part. Though it’s chilly outside and snow fell in the past few days, spring does indeed officially arrive on Wednesday, March 20.

Petition calls for council to oppose Ajax

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

When he set up the Change.org petition calling for Kamloops city council to take a stand against the proposed Ajax mine, Steve Knudson wasn’t expecting it to generate quite so much momentum immediately.

But, within 48 hours of its creation, more than 650 people signed on — and the names keep being added.

“Please represent this city and oppose the development of the Ajax mine,” the online petition reads.

“It is essential for the lives of children and families that you take every option available to stop its development.”

Knudson, a retired civil servant, said he’s concerned about the health and environmental impacts of the

copper and gold mine KGHM Ajax wants to build south of Aberdeen.

“I’m not sure what the benefit to Kamloops is,” Knudson said.

“I’m at a loss to know what the cost-benefit analysis is, compared to the air pollution, the water pollution, the destruction that this mine will create.

“I think it’s a travesty and I don’t think it should go in.”

Only two city councillors, Donovan Cavers and Tina Lange, have taken a public position on the mine.

They are both opposed.

Coun. Nancy Bepple, who owns mining shares, recuses herself from all debates about Ajax.

The other six councillors have taken a wait-and-see approach to Ajax.

“City council’s sitting on the fence,” Knudson said.

“And I’m quite concerned that people like Ken Christian, who worked for a huge number of years for the Ministry of Health, isn’t prepared to make a decision or take a position.”

WHY THEY SIGNED Go online to kamloopsthisweek. com to read petition comments.

Mayor Peter Milobar said council does plan to take a position on the mine at some point, but is waiting until there is hard data on the effect the mine will have on the city.

“We’re not trying to hide from this,” Milobar said. “We’re collecting people’s input. Obviously with the petition, they’re giving us the feedback they don’t want it. We hear that

loud and clear. We’re waiting for the technical data to come in to add that to the conversation.”

Knudson doesn’t buy that argument.

“I think the issue’s irrelevant to what the studies say. One just has to look at the topography, look at the environment and visualize this monstrosity being created,” he said.

“If the studies come in saying it’s a lovely mine, I’m still completely opposed to it.”

If council comes out against the mine, Knudson thinks it will make it difficult for the provincial government to sign off on Ajax, but Milobar isn’t so sure.

He pointed to the controversial plan by the Aboriginal Co-generation Corporation’s rail-tie incineration plant proposal as an example of how much clout the city sometimes has in

the environmental-approval process.

“Council was unanimously opposed to it when we had to submit our comments and ACC wound up with a permit through the same basic process we’re in right now,” Milobar said.

In the end, ACC’s proposal never reached fruition.

Milobar said people have a right to lobby city hall to take a stand, but noted the powers-that-be that will eventually make the decision are in Victoria and Ottawa.

“It seems to be an inordinate amount of pressure is being put on a city council and not on the levels of government that are actually making the decision,” he said.

At 60, a new organ is on its way

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

If you asked the average person, they’d say they are in favour of organ donation.

In fact, statistics show 85 per cent of British Columbians have said just that.

But, those same statistics show only 17 per cent of the province’s population has registered as an organ donor.

It’s a key issue for the Kidney Foundation of Canada because donor organs are the only thing that give people with kidney disease a chance at having a more normal life.

Dorothy Drinnan is one of those people.

The Kamloops woman was born with one kidney — and it was diseased.

However, she didn’t discover this until she was 29 and her doctor, perplexed by ongoing infections, sent her to a specialist.

“But, this one lasted 57 years before I had to do dialysis,” Drinnan said while taking part in an event at Sahali Mall recently as part of the designation of March as Kidney Awareness Month.

“Of course, it had to because I didn’t have a backup.”

Drinnan started peritoneal dialysis in 2009, a procedure she was able to do at home each night.

It involves a fluid exchange through a catheter into her abdomen that feeds in a solution

that pulls all the wastes out and then drains from the body.

In a few weeks, that nightly ritual should come to an end as Drinnan and her husband, Gregg, head to Vancouver’s St. Paul’s Hospital, where she will receive a new kidney.

In an operating room near her in the same hospital, a lifelong friend will give up one of her health kidneys in a procedure Drinnan knows will involve at least those two recipients and two donors — and perhaps more.

“She has always had an on-death donor card,” Drinnan said of her friend, “but, she decided she would do this now.”

The friend’s kidney is a match for another person with the disease and that person has a donor who is a match for Drinnan, she speculated — although there could be more people involved in the domino-like process.

The bottom line is some people will leave St. Paul’s without a kidney and others will leave with a new, healthy organ.

Drinnan will have to stay in Vancouver for up to three months after the surgery for ongoing monitoring and checkups and she’s been told she won’t feel great for about a year.

She will need to take drugs for the rest of her life to fight off any rejection of the new organ — but, that’s a minor inconvenience for someone who has lived her life

with kidney disease.

At any given time, there are several hundred British Columbians wait-

ing for a kidney transplant.

Those interested in registering to be a

donor or wanting more information can do go online to kidney.ca or call 1-800-567-8112.

Crash leaves woman in critical condition A woman remains in critical condition in hospital after five people, including two children not properly restrained, were injured in an accident on Sunday, March 17, just south of the Inks Lake brake check on Coquihalla Highway.

The accident, which happened at about 7:20 p.m., involved a southbound vehicle that went across the highway, through the ditch and onto the shoulder of the northbound lane.

As the other vehicle came across, a northbound vehicle

lost control and rolled at least four times before coming to rest in the southbound fast lane, said Const. Tyler Braun of the RCMP’s Central Interior Traffic Services.

He said the two children were younger than three years of age, noting there were no car seats in the vehicle.

Braun added investigators are still trying to determine if anyone had a seatbelt fastened.

The children and two other people are also in hospital.

“They are very fortunate,”

Braun said of the children.

A police dog was brought in to search the area for other possible victims and police analysts from Merritt and Kelowna were also involved.

The highway was closed to southbound traffic and had just one northbound lane open for about five hours.

Braun said the highway was “extremely icy” at the time.

The Coquihalla was hit hard by snow on the weekend, with up to 40 centimetres falling between Merritt and Hope.

University gets own advance poll

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thompson Rivers University students will have a chance to vote on their own turf in advance of this year’s provincial election.

TRU student union external vice-president Dylan Robinson told KTW that Elections BC plans to hold an advance poll in the union’s lecture hall on May 9.

“We’re super excited about that,” said Robinson, who has lobbied for a polling place closer to campus.

On general voting day, May 14, the polling place closest to campus will be in Dufferin.

Robinson said the election comes at an awkward time for TRU students — classes have wrapped up and many students are moving out of their rental housing for the summer.

Having an opportunity to vote on campus can take some of the stress out of the process.

“I don’t drive, for instance, so I’m kind of limited by transit,” Robinson said.

“It’s hard enough coming to school every day, let alone taking time out of my work schedule to figure out how to access a polling station somewhere in Dufferin.”

While Elections BC data shows younger voters are less likely to cast a ballot — chief electoral officer Keith Archer estimates only 68 per cent of British Columbians in their early 20s are even registered to vote — Robinson thinks this election may have sparked more than the usual amount of interest on campus.

“People I’ve spoken to are engaged with this election,” he said.

“Maybe it’s just the political circumstances we find ourselves

in, with the really bad economic conditions and the current government being in power for a fairly long time.

“I think people are

looking for options out there and that’s definitely driving interest.”

To drum up more interest, TRU’s student union joined

forces with Elections BC last week to register students to vote and runs its own Vote Education campaign.

Robinson said that campaign encour-

Perhaps it’s time to give third party a shot at ripping us off

N

EVER MIND THE platform, forget about spewing out more press releases about all that is wrong in B.C. What B.C. Conservative Leader John Cummins should be doing right now is arranging a long lunch date with Gordon Wilson.

It was Wilson, after all, who perfected his timing during the 1991 provincial-election televised debate to establish the B.C. Liberal Party as the centre-right heir to Social Credit.

As NDP Leader Mike Harcourt and Social Credit Leader Rita Johnston bickered, Wilson, then leader of the nothing-to-lose B.C. Liberals, quipped: “This reminds me of the legislature and here’s a classic example of why nothing ever gets done in the province of British Columbia.”

That remark was the highlight of the debate and helped Wilson’s Liberals win 17 seats in the election, which were 17 more than the party held entering the campaign.

When the May 14 election campaign officially begins, Cummins may also want to take a page from a political event in that same year — the 1991 gubernatorial race in Louisiana between former Klansman David Duke and a thief named Edwin Edwards.

Faced with voting for a racist or a man who would soon rip off taxpayers, voter sentiment was captured in the following bumper sticker:

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS The B.C. Liberals were caught in a deceitful plan to use taxpayer-funded resources to court the ethnic vote via an extremely cynical agenda.

As a result, the party has repaid government $70,000.

While the New Democrats were the ones who revealed this secret plan, Adrian Dix’s party is by no means as clean as the driven snow.

The NDP has its own ethnic-voter scandal brewing with news the party had diverted more than $500,000 from constituency offices across B.C. to be used for what Auditor General John Doyle has determined to be partisan purposes.

The Liberals have accused the NDP of being the pot calling the kettle black, while the NDP has argued its ethnic-voting strategy was at least not secret as the money transfers were authorized by the former legislature accountant.

In any event, taking $200 per month from each NDP MLA constituency office and using it for politicalparty purposes is wrong.

That money is taxpayer dollars intended for use by constituency

offices to deal with constituents, regardless of their political stripe.

Sometimes — often, actually — B.C. politics makes one yearn to take a shower.

With the imploding Liberals caught ripping off taxpayers behind the cloak of private emails and secret messages and the surging New Democrats caught ripping off taxpayers out in the open, thanks to a dubious nod given by a now-fired comptroller, is there any hope for voters?

One would think Cummins’ Conservatives should be measuring curtains for the offices of the Official Opposition, considering my cat could poll better than Christy Clark in Point Grey.

But, for whatever reason, the putative replacements for the Socreds/ Liberals cannot escape single-digit purgatory in all polls.

It could be Cummins himself.

While a veteran politician with plenty of experience, he is not exactly Justin Trudeau when it comes to connecting with voters.

The political funk in which the Conservatives have long been is not due to lethargy on their part — for it can be argued no other party has yet released so much platform information.

However, since policy documents and press conferences have not ignited voters, perhaps the Conservatives should borrow from the bayou and simply ask voters to give them a chance to rip off the taxpayer, in the spirit of fairness. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com twitter.com/ChrisJFoulds

If the B.C. NDP hopes to capitalize on the B.C. Liberals’ missteps, it needs to step up its game and prove to voters there are good reasons to vote for it in the May 14 election.

The notion that a vote for one is a vote against the other is simply not good enough reason — by itself — to return to power a party that has had its own shortcomings in the past in the transparency department.

Pundits and pollsters might be correct that a backlash against Liberals’ mismanagement of their mandate will result in a win for the NDP. But, it should be realized voters are in the throes of a crisis of confidence with the political process itself.

They have not simply lost faith in the Liberals — they have lost faith in politicians of all stripes.

In the political game, the NDP’s release of leaked memos concerning Liberal tactics in wooing ethnic voters was a bona fide win.

But, the NDP’s reluctance — to this date — to follow up such gains by presenting a detailed platform of its own is more than a little troubling, particularly when the B.C. Conservatives seem to be firing off platform statements every other day.

If New Democrats think the best strategy is to hang fire and keep quiet in the expectation the Conservatives’ sabre-rattling will be sufficient to split the right-wing vote, it smacks of a cynicism equal to anything Liberal strategists have promulgated.

The NDP must stand for something, not just against something.

Presenting a convincing vision is what it will take for NDP Leader Adrian Dix to ultimately put to rest a horrible past blunder in which he falsified the date of a memo to provide an alibi for former premier Glen Clark, who was feeling the heat in a probe into alleged corruption.

Dix has apologized and acknowledged he “owns” his past mistakes.

Dix may have learned some hard lessons about honesty since he was Clark’s chief of staff and his refusal to fight dirty in a mud-slinging battle with his political foes may reflect a genuine desire to focus on issues.

If that’s the case, the time is more than nigh to present these issues in a cohesive campaign, rather than via a series of statements by Dix and NDP critics hewing to a general philosophy.

In contrast to the stumbles of others, the NDP has said it will provide a platform of promises that can be kept.

So far, we are still waiting.

56 VOTES WHAT’S YOUR TAKE?

‘MANIPULATIVE, PSYCHOPATHIC BEHAVIOUR’ Editor: My name is Bruce Turner and I am the father of Dana Turner.

First, I want to thank Kamloops This Week reporter Tim Petruk for reporting on the Mark Lindsay trial.

Petruk has been an excellent and direct source of information as the Kamloops court case unfolds.

I read with interest the three articles published over the last two weeks by KTW, in particular the online article on Friday, March 16, that detailed the verdict.

Upon reading the first two articles, I thought it unlikely the judge would go against the assessment of the psychiatrist — and my predictions were realized.

It seems the broader

rights for the safety and security of society will be subordinated by individual rights and the opinion — and, that is all it is, in my view — of one of the most imprecise of all sciences.

If they can assess Lindsay now, why couldn’t the profession assess him properly before he was released after serving a mere 50 days for attempted murder?

If a bank manager stole money, who would rehire him to the same position?

Yet, a known offender can be released back into society and afforded ample opportunity to re-offend.

Why is the bar so low for criminals, yet so high for everybody else?

I would like to see

confidence intervals placed around the psychiatric assessment, but more so around the probability that he will not commit another murder.

Should we be sacrificing the safety and security of society to the “persuasive” arguments of a psychiatrist?

Do we apply the precautionary principle to all things other than criminality?

How did the psychiatrist explain to the judge why Lindsay asked his cellmate victim to tell the guard that his pierced eye resulted from a fall from his bunk?

There is an on-off switch for schizophrenia, but I don’t think it is under voluntary control.

Sounds to me more like manipulative psy-

chopathic behaviour.

At what point do the broader rights of society prevail against the rights of a selfprofessed murderer and a known re-offender?

If I had good reason to believe in the B.C. Review Board, I might change my mind.

Perhaps I am prejudging, but I have little reason to believe otherwise.

Lindsay was under the parole of a police chief and a loving mother for much of his life, yet that discipline and love did nothing to control his wanton ways as he committed one murder, or so he boasted, while under their watch.

How many more families will have to suffer the anguish that we have endured?

How many more

children will be left without the loving embrace of a mother and have a lifetime to ponder the void?

I am under no delusions that justice will ever be delivered for Dana or her boys.

This is not a matter of repaying a $10 bill and settling a debt.

Dana is gone forever.

The beautiful memories of a beautiful daughter are never far from my mind and I hope, though in vain I suspect, that at some point in the future, they will subvert the recurrent intrusive thoughts of what did actually happen to her.

KTW has asked to see the psychiatrist’s report I, too, will be anxious to read it.

Not criminally responsible

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Mark Lindsay will not be held criminally responsible for a pair of attacks in B.C. in 2011 — one against an undercover police officer, the other on his cellmate at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre — but a judge had harsh words for the 26-year-old son of Edmonton’s former police chief.

After handing down his NCRMD (not criminally responsible by way of a mental disorder) verdict on Friday, March 15, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley offered a description of Lindsay’s threat to society.

“I consider Mr. Lindsay to be a very exceptionally dangerous person,” the judge said.

Dley deemed as “persuasive” the evidence of forensic psychiatrist Marcel Hediger, who testified in a Kamloops courtroom last week about his two-month assessment of Lindsay last year.

Hediger described Lindsay as a paranoid schizophrenic

who was propelled into committing his offences by a specific set of delusions — that a group of people was trying to murder him.

Lindsay was arrested on Sept. 21, 2011, by Kamloops Mounties after he stabbed an undercover officer during a confrontation in a vehicle outside a Barriere gas station.

The officer, whose identity is protected by a court-ordered publication ban, had previously engaged Lindsay is a Mr. Big sting operation, in which police pose as gangsters in an attempt to befriend murder suspects and eventually get them to confess to their crimes.

Less than a month after his arrest, Lindsay stabbed his cellmate at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre twice in the same eye — once with a pen and once with a pencil — during a game of Scrabble.

In court in Kamloops last August, Lindsay admitted to both crimes — as well as the murder of his ex-girlfriend, which precipitated the Mr. Big sting — but said he was acting in self-defence.

In his lengthy testimony, Lindsay claimed to have been the target of a group he called the Serial Killers, or Healers, which was out to get him. He said each of his victims was associated somehow with the group.

Dley ordered Lindsay to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, the results of which were made public for the first time in court last week through Hediger’s testimony.

Lindsay’s file in B.C. will now be handed over to the B.C. review board.

He is still facing a seconddegree murder charge, among others, in relation to the death of his girlfriend, 31-year-old Dana Turner, in Alberta in 2011.

He is slated to appear in a Red Deer courtroom on those charges on April 8. His preliminary inquiry was held in Red Deer earlier this year, and was committed to trial.

If he is found criminally responsible for Turner’s death in Alberta, his criminal sentence would trump B.C.’s NCRMD finding until its expiration.

COVER PAGE STORY

Lindsay claims he had to kill Turner KTW has obtained exclusively a copy of Mark Lindsay’s psychiatric assessment, completed following a twomonth in-custody stay at a Lower Mainland forensic hospital last fall. The report contains details about Lindsay’s crimes that have never before been made public. This story is written based on the 12-page document.

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

If you take Mark Lindsay at his word, Dana Turner never stood a chance.

According to Lindsay, when the 31-year-old mother of three crossed paths with him inside a psychiatric hospital in Alberta in the spring of 2011, she was immediately marked for death.

Lindsay, the 26-yearold son of Edmonton’s former police chief, was attracted to Turner — a pretty brunette with wavy hair and soft brown eyes.

But, he claimed, he

knew he had to kill her.

For years prior, Lindsay said, he had been the target of a group of killers.

He claims to have overheard them at various times talking about murdering him.

On one occasion, he said he heard them “trashing” him in a store.

Another time, he said, he turned on the TV to hear a news anchor issue instructions about how to kill him.

Lindsay called them the Serial Killers — and Turner, he apparently thought, was on their side.

“Mr. Lindsay reports that he immediately became concerned that this lady [Turner] was part of the group of serial killers,” forensic psychiatrist Marcel Hediger wrote in the report.

“Mr. Lindsay

became concerned that the group of serial killers had found him and had sent in the lady to kill him.

“Over time he became more convinced that this lady was one of the group of serial killers and that she in fact

wanted to kill him.”

Those feelings are tough to reconcile with text messages Lindsay sent Turner a few months later, detailed in a copy of Turner’s diary obtained by KTW. “I love you without judgement or preten-

tious animosity,” he texted her on June 22, 2011.

“You are the epitome of the beauty I need to be content.”

Later that day, Lindsay stabbed Turner in the head while kissing her — an embrace she described in her diary as “sensual.”

She survived and Lindsay went to jail charged with attempted murder.

Fifty days later, he was released after pleading guilty to a reduced charge.

“Mr. Lindsay reports that shortly after his release from prison, he indeed attacked and killed the lady by stabbing her with a pencil,” Hediger wrote.

“He then took her body and hid it next to a rural road outside Calgary.”

After that, Lindsay went to Vancouver for a

few days.

On the Greyhound ride back to Edmonton,

he was befriended by a man offering him work.

That friend turned

out to be an undercover police officer.

“I am 33 years old now and am happily living my life out on Vancouver Island and I owe it all to you and your company.

You saved my life and I can never re-pay what you have done for me.”

Dear Strauss Herb Company, I had cancer when I was 10 years old and went through 2 years of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. One of the drugs they used was called adriamycin. The adriamycin is very hard on your heart and ten years later I went from a normal 20 years old young man to not being able to physically lift myself off the couch. Just existing was like running a marathon and I was dying.

After 4 months in the hospital and a few trips to the critical care unit for crashing I had enough knowledge to at least keep myself stable. One day the doctor came in and told me that they had found a node on my lung and did a biopsy and found another cancerous growth. I was now diagnosed with end stage congestive heart failure and lung cancer. Because of the lung cancer I was taken off of the heart transplant list and because of the heart condition I wouldn’t survive another round of chemotherapy. I was sent home with a prescription for my heart meds and a six month timeline as to how long I was going to live. They sent me home so I would be in familiar surroundings when my ¿nal breath was taken.

Being as that I was only 20 years old, I had no intention of dying. One day I wandered into a health food store in my hometown and explained my story to the woman working. After a few tears and a heartfelt hug from her she showed me Strauss Heartdrops. I began as directed and continued to increase my dosage until I was taking 2.5ml/3x a day. After 6 months I began to be able to go for walks without seeing stars. The feeling like someone was standing on my chest started to subside. I remember the ¿rst time I fell asleep on my back - it was a small miracle because before it had felt like I was drowning.

I reported to my cardiologist appointments as ordered and was stunned as I watched my improvement not only on a personal level but in a controlled environment using the best in modern equipment. I am 33 years old now and am happily living my life out on Vancouver Island and I owe it all to you and your company. You saved my life and I can never re-pay what you have done for me. There is so much more to this story but I just wanted to give you the gist of it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Lindsay had ‘psychic communications’ X From A13

Lindsay’s newfound employment was actually the early stages of an RCMP Mr. Big sting aimed at figuring out what happened to Turner.

According to Hediger’s report, Lindsay “realized” almost immediately — while still on the Greyhound — that the man was part of the Serial Killers group.

Despite that, he spent time with him socially over a period of days leading up to the duo’s first out-oftown work trip — a job that would have them haul a trailer containing two quads from an Edmonton suburb to Kamloops.

Lindsay told Hediger he received “psychic communications” telling him his new friend would be paid a bounty for his murder.

“Mr. Lindsay reports that he received another psychic communication that a person would be killed in Kamloops and he began to become concerned that he would be that victim,” the report reads.

Lindsay decided to attack and kill his friend, whose identity is protected by a court-ordered publication ban.

So, when the duo stopped in Barriere for snacks, Lindsay went inside the store and came out with two chocolate bars.

One of them was a Mr. Big, which he gave to the undercover officer.

Lindsay then attacked him.

The officer escaped with relatively minor injuries — a cut on his eyebrow from an undetermined weapon Lindsay was brandishing.

(What the weapon

was is not clear. Lindsay maintained in court last summer it was a pen, but Crown asserted he used a hooked carpet knife that was found inside the vehicle after his arrest.

The knife did not contain DNA from Lindsay or the undercover Mountie and Lindsay said he wasn’t aware of its existence.)

A call for help was sent out to police in the area and Kamloops RCMP arrested Lindsay — behind the wheel of the unmarked RCMP truck in which the pair had been travelling — near McLure just before 1 a.m. on Sept. 21, 2011.

Charged with aggravated assault, robbery and possession of a weapon, Lindsay opted not to apply for bail and was housed at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre.

On Oct. 20, 2011, he was playing Scrabble with his cellmate, 20-year-old Michel Fougere.

Lindsay stabbed Fougere twice in the same eye — once with a pen and once with a pencil, piercing his brain.

In the moments after the attack, Lindsay told his cellmate to lie to correctional officers about what had happened and say he had fallen out of bed and hit his head.

Fougere was rushed to a Vancouver hospital for brain surgery.

He survived, but lost one eye.

Lindsay was then moved into KRCC’s segregation unit — and he has been held in isolation ever since.

Hediger came to the con-

clusion that Lindsay is a paranoid schizophrenic and the psychiatrist’s testimony earlier this month persuaded

family’s home, but he was never charged.

In an interview with KTW in 2011, Lindsay admitted to being in the area at the time of the overpass incident, but said he wasn’t involved.

In her diary, however, Turner made mention of Lindsay bragging about having taken part in the murder.

Lindsay is now in custody at Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Port Coquitlam, where he will stay until he has to return to Alberta to stand trial on a seconddegree murder charge in relation to Turner’s death.

It’s expected he will use the same NCRMD (not criminally responsible by way of a mental disorder) defence in Alberta.

He’s due back in court in Red Deer on April 8.

A date for trial has not yet been set.

In his report, Hediger outlines Lindsay’s psychiatric history — which includes a handful of admissions to Alberta institutions for various mental issues, worsened by Lindsay’s periodic excessive use of drugs and alcohol.

The report also mentions a murder a decade ago in Edmonton in which Lindsay was apparently a person of interest.

A 74-year-old school-bus driver was killed on an Edmonton freeway in 2002 after a group of teens dropped a 30-pound boulder from a pedestrian overpass.

Expect slimmer budget

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

After releasing a budget in 2012 that was criticized for doing too much all at once, the federal government will likely deliver a sleeker document in 2013.

Foreign Affairs minister John Baird, in Kamloops for an economic roundtable on Thursday, March 14, dropped a few hints about the next budget, which is due to be announced on Thursday, March 21.

With its last budget, the Tory government drew fire for bundling a large number of legislative changes into one budget implementation act.

Changes in the

TRU board lands a Starr

omnibus bill that stripped smaller rivers and bodies of water of federal protection, for instance, helped spark Idle No More protests this winter.

Baird acknowledged the bill was on the large side.

“I think that there’s been a number of budgets which were perhaps more comprehensive than others,” he said. “The budget in 2009 was one of them and the budget last year was one of them, building on substantial commitments we made in the election campaign.”

Baird said job creation will continue to drive the Conservative’s economic agenda in 2013.

“Wherever I go, the

East, the West, Central Canada, economic growth is still a priority,” he said. “As long as there’s one Canadian out of work, that’s one too many and we’ve got to be focused on it.”

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has previously indicated to media that the next budget will focus on eliminating the country’s $26-billion deficit, which he has pledged to do by 2015.

New spending commitments with big price tags aren’t expected.

While Baird was in town to discuss economics, he said his roundtable with Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod and local businesspeople isn’t likely to directly

impact the upcoming budget, which is mostly finalized.

“If we hear anything that’s compelling, we can always get on the phone with Jim Flaherty,” he said, noting the meeting was more about setting government priorities over the longer term and looking for ways to “promote Canadian prosperity abroad.”

Baird told about a dozen people representing forestry, ranching, tourism and other sectors that the government is pushing its trade commissioners to focus on small and mediumsized enterprises and working to make inroads into Asia that will benefit B.C. businesses.

Starr Carson of KPMG Kamloops has been added to the advisory board to the Thompson Rivers University School of Business and Economics.

Carson, the office’s managing partner, joins Michael Graydon,

president and CEO of the B.C. Lottery Corporation, as the founding members of the new board, which was created to involve business professionals with the school to share their experiences and knowledge.

Carson is a tax

LOCAL NEWS Roy Fraser will stand trial next month. He is charged with first-degree murder and second-degree murder in connection with the 2009 deaths of Kenneth Yaretz and Damien Marks.

Warrant issued for murder-trial witness A warrant has been issued for a man described as a key witness in the upcoming murder trial of Roy Fraser.

Crown prosecutor Tim Livingston was in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Monday, March 18, to ask Justice Kenneth Ball to issue the warrant for Anthony Webb.

Livingston said Webb has been avoiding subpoena service, but is considered to be a material witness.

Fraser’s trial is scheduled to begin next month.

The 55-year-old is facing one count of firstdegree murder and one count of second-degree murder in the deaths of Kenneth Yaretz and Damien Marks.

Their bodies were discovered in May 2009 in a shallow grave at Fraser’s property at Knouff Lake.

Yaretz and Marks, friends and roommates, disappeared in mid-April 2009 after moving into a four-plex in Brocklehurst.

Yaretz had a criminal history, including a conviction for trafficking in a controlled substance.

He was alleged to be an associate of Jayme Russell, who at one time was considered by local RCMP to be the head of the local Independent Soldiers street gang.

Fraser surrendered to police on Oct. 25, 2010, after Kamloops RCMP issued a Canada-wide warrant for his arrest.

He pleaded not guilty in March 2011.

Stabbing-death trial will begin in October Jury selection in the trial of Torbin Alec, who is facing a second-degree murder charge in the stabbing death of Jesse Seymour last July, is scheduled to begin on Oct. 7.

The trial, estimated to take about 14 days, is expected to begin after jury selection.

Special prosecutor Rob Bruneau was in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Monday, March 18, to fix dates for those two events, as well as for a pretrial conference to be held on Aug. 22.

Alec is alleged to have stabbed Seymour, who he has said was a friend, during a fight on the lawn of a house at 746 Columbia St. on July 15, 2012.

Bruneau was appointed to the prosecutor’s position because Seymour is the estranged son-in-law of former B.C. lieutenant-governor Stephen Point.

Jessie Seymour, a Tk’emlups Indian Band youth worker and father of one, died at Royal Inland Hospital on Sunday, July 15, after being stabbed during what police have described as a “consensual fight” at a small house party at 746 Columbia Ave. KTW file photo

City of Kamloops

Spring Cleaning Street Sweeping Notice Starting mid-March, weather permitting, City crews will begin spring sweeping of streets in the valley bottom and working into the higher elevations throughout the city. The Spring Sweeping program on average requires 6 to 8 weeks to complete.

In an effort to reduce sweeping time and costs, signs will be posted in the areas that are being swept advising the public not to park on the street. Some high density areas will have parking restrictions posted and/or notices delivered in advance of sweeping, for example, downtown east.

Residents who wish to sweep the area in front of their property are advised to remove the pile of sand accumulated as these piles can damage a sweeper, and operators are instructed to swerve around such piles.

Your cooperation is appreciated. Inquiries can be made by calling 250-828-3461.

Pack primed for nationals

Vibe retain B.C. crown With a 5-1 win over Richmond in the championship final, the female senior A Kamloops Vibe won their third straight B.C. championship in Logan Lake on Sunday, March 17.

Kamloops will represent the province at the Western Canadian Championships, which get underway in Surrey on April 4.

The River City squad won Westerns last year, after winning bronze in 2011 and

silver in 2010.

Scoring for the Vibe on the weekend were Alyssa Reid (3G, 7A), Emily Edmundson (3G, 2A), Sarah Kurzac (1G, 3A), Rochelle Smith (2G, 1A), Bianca Mirabelli (1G, 2A), Jenna Ormondy (2G), Desiree Blair (1G), Aaren Ritchie-Bonar (1G), Gaylene Smith (1A) and Kayla Keeping (1A).

Alissa Hibbert and Ashley Fisher split goaltending duties.

Tiffany Krausher and the TRU WolfPack are ready for the CIS/Canadian Curling Association Curling Championships. George Wycherley/KTW

By Marty Hastings STAF F REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

HE TRU WOLFPACK will be underdogs at the 2013 CIS/Canadian Curling Association Championships, but it’s a title that might work to their advantage.

“They better be ready for us,” TRU women’s coach Brenda Nordin said of the competition.

“They might think [we’re walkovers], but we are not.”

The tournament gets underway at the Kamloops Curling Club (KCC) on Wednesday, March 20, and runs through Sunday, March 24.

There will be two WolfPack teams in action — Tiffany Krausher, Alyssa Kyllo, Ashley Nordin, Kym Edgeworth and Katie Hill make up the women’s team, with Darren Nelson, Russ Koffski, Jared Jenkins, Michael Hiram and

David Gore set to play on the men’s squad, coached by Ray Olsen.

Both rinks have been preparing for nationals since September, playing in KCC leagues and entering various bonspiels along the way.

“It was nice to have known who was on the team prior to the season starting because it gave us a bit of time to plan,” said Krausher, who will skip the women’s team.

“It’s definitely been a lot of work, but it’s totally been worth it.”

Eight men’s and eight women’s teams will participate in a round-robin, with the first-place teams advancing to their respective finals, while the second- and thirdplace teams meet in semifinals.

Competition will be fierce.

The University of Manitoba women’s team, for example, will feature Ashley Howard, Olympic gold medallist Russ Howard’s

daughter, and Breanne Meakin, the daughter of Rob Meakin, a former world men’s curling champion and current coach of Jeff Stoughton’s Manitoba rink.

Breanne already has a world junior championship silver medal under her belt and Ashley is a provincial junior champion.

TRU’s women can take stock in their performance at the Western playdowns, used to determine which teams would advance to nationals.

The WolfPack women placed third, losing only to the first- and second-place teams, with one of those defeats coming against Manitoba.

“We were in it to the last rock,” coach Nordin said.

“I believe we can compete with anybody.

The girls have worked so hard.”

Nelson will skip the men’s team, which will be in tough competing against teams such as

the defending-champion Alberta Golden Bears, skipped again

by Brendan Bottcher, who led his rink to victory last year at the Welland Curling Club in Ontario.

The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks, skipped by Laura Crocker, won the 2012 women’s title.

The Hawks did not qualify for this year’s tournament.

The semifinals get underway at 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 23.

The finals are slated for 2 p.m. on Sunday, with the winners earning the right to represent Canada at the 2014 Karuizawa Invitational in Karuizawa, Japan.

Tickets are $20 for full-event passes or $5 per draw.

Krausher said her rink is looking forward to the challenge.

“We can handle it, for sure,” she said.

“We’ve put a lot of work in.”

Round-robin slate X Wednesday — 10 a.m., TRU women vs. University of Prince Edward Island, TRU men vs. Acadia University of Nova Scotia; 3 p.m., TRU women vs. McMaster University of Ontario, TRU men vs. Trent University of Ontario.

The Kamloops Jardine’s Blazers opened with a 9-1 win over Victoria at the B.C. Bantam Tier 1 championship in Duncan on Sunday, March 17.

Blazers’ captain Dario Piva had a goal and four assists and Alexander Buchanan pitched in with a pair of goals.

In its second tilt of the four-game roundrobin, Kamloops lost 7-1 to Burnaby Winter Club on Monday, March 18.

The Blazers will play Cowichan Valley today (March 19) and wrap the roundrobin against North Shore Winter Club on Wednesday, March 20.

Log on to kamloopsthisweek.com for the result.

The top two teams after round-robin play will meet in the final on Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, the peewee tier 3 North Kamloops Lions also were 1-0 after their first game at provincials in Creston, doubling Terrace 4-2.

The top two teams from each division — the Lions are in a five-team division, the other side has six teams — will advance to Thursday’s (March

21) semifinals, with the final slated for Friday, March 22.

Kerry Park of Mill Bay, Arbutus of Vancouver and Cranbrook round out the Lions’ division.

Kamloops’ bantam female squad was 0-1 after its first roundrobin tilt at provincials in Vernon, losing 11-1 to North Shore.

Allison Borrow scored the Mystix’s lone goal.

Terrace and Kamloops played on Monday. Log on to KTW’s website for the result.

The Mystix finish the round-robin today with a matchup against Cranbrook.

The top two teams from each division at the nine-team tournament advance to the semifinal round, to be held on Wednesday, along with the final.

Also in provincial championship action are the peewee tier 1 Kamloops Jardine’s Blazers.

The Blazers are in Vancouver, where round-robin games against Prince George, Burnaby, Vancouver and North Shore will determine whether they make the final, which will be played on Thursday.

‘I think I can say I don’t go down in flames’ Kamloops handyman on reality-show finale airing tonight STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

When the seasontwo finale of Canada’s Handyman Challenge airs tonight (March 19) on HGTV, Mark Ulinder will be watching in his Kamloops home alongside 20 to 30 friends and family.

The viewing party is because Ulinder, 41, is one of four finalists on the show.

It was taped last fall and Ulinder is under a contractual obligation to refrain from discussing the outcome.

But, why would you have dozens of friends over to watch a show if you knew you were going down in flames?

“Well I think I can say that I don’t go down in flames,” Ulinder told KTW. “Everybody tries their best. Just making it to the final four — when you think about all the things that can happen and go wrong — is a big challenge.”

Ulinder said he’ll be relieved when the finale airs and he can stop keeping secrets from his friends and family.

“Oh, gosh, it’s been months and months,” he said.

“You’ve got people that are close to you that are dying to know how you did. It’s hard.”

Filming was stressful, but fun, Ulinder

said, and he enjoyed interacting with the judges — a who’s who of HGTV personalities.

“Most of the time it was really good,” he said.

“But, you’ve got to remember this is TV, too. They want drama.

They’re sometimes saying something to get a rise out of you.”

On tonight’s finale, the judging panel will be joined by Mike Holmes — the undisputed O.G. of Canadian home-improvement

Luckily, Ulinder had experience with the imposing-but-caring contractor.

“I had met him the year before at tryouts,” he said.

“He scares the crap out of you.

“He fires off these questions at you and just gives you a blank stare and waits.

“But, he’s a great guy. We talked lots and he’s really a gentle giant.”

KAMLOOPS SPORTS HALL OF FAME

Billy Talent frontman Ben Kowalewicz had plenty of energy as the Ontario-based rock band played Interior Savings Centre on Saturday, March 19, on the second stop of their cross-Canada Dead Silence Tour. Andrea Klassen/KTW

Canadian rockers live up to the hype at ISC

By Michael Potestio SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

It was a night filled with arguably some of Canada’s best bands and the Kamloops crowd at Interior Savings Centre seemed to love every minute of the Billy Talent concert on Saturday, March 16.

With a trio of hot Canadian bands opening for the Ontario rockers — such as Indian Hand Crafts, Hollerado and Sum 41 — one might expect the crowd to be fatigued after so many great performances, but it was just getting warmed up.

Billy Talent was by far the most intense act and the roar of the crowd when they took the stage was practically deafening — just edging out the ovation Sum 41 received beforehand.

Billy Talent opened with songs such as Viking Death March and kept the hard rock music flowing.

They did slow down the pace a bit, however, with songs such as Surrender and Rusted from the Rain, and even a few people sparked and waved their lighters during the concert.

Lead singer Ben Kowalewicz — despite not having an instrument to play — strummed some air guitar a couple times over the course of the night.

He also came equipped with a camera he used to show his perspective on the exuberant Kamloops crowd and band members Jonathan Gallant, Ian D’Sa and Aaron Solowoniuk.

This allowed the crowd to see themselves on two massive screens on either side of the stage.

On just the second stop of their 2013 Canadian Dead Silence Tour, Kowalewicz showed he’d certainly done his homework on Kamloops, wishing the Blazers good luck in the playoffs against Victoria.

His high-tempo energy was evident all around the Blazers’ barn as he jumped in place and even skipped across the stage while singing. That energy was certainly reflected in the crowd.

The crowd at ground level looked almost like a raging sea as plenty of fist-pumping, jumping and moshing went on throughout the night.

Though attendance looked sporadic when the doors opened at 7 p.m., by the time Sum 41 took to the stage, the crowd on the ground and in seating

sections closest to stage had filled out.

There was also plenty of crowd surfing throughout the concert.

Sum 41 called up five people in the crowd to come up on stage. Two men who were chosen ran across the stage once up there.

One was caught by security, but the other ran past Sum 41 and leaped into the crowd below.

An encore was no surprise at the end of the night when Billy Talent left the stage and the lights went out, but the crowd made their demands clear by chanting “encore!”

Billy Talent came back to finish off the night with a few songs, including Red Flag and Surprise, Surprise.

Manufacturing flexibility is a key priority for General Motors and the investment will give CAMI the ability to build a higher variety of differentiated products, on multiple platforms, at much lower costs.

This also gives GM the ability to introduce and deliver new products to the market at a faster pace.

GM is rapidly moving toward more flexible vehicle architectures, which will reduce assembly-plant complexity, increase plant efficiencies and enhance its ability to quickly adjust product mix to better manage its customer’s needs.

Suzuki created the new SX4 Crossover by uniting its compact car know-how with technologies honed for sport utility vehicles.

Magyar Suzuki plays an important role as Suzuki’s European production centre.

The launch of the new SX4 Crossover marks the start of an expansion program in which Magyar Suzuki will extend its exports to more countries, increase its production volume, and establish itself as an important manufacturing base for Suzuki’s global strategy.

The money will be used to install flexible body-shop equipment and tooling, converting the manufacturing facility to support future vehicle production.

“Conversion of the CAMI Assembly Plant to a flexible manufacturing facility will provide CAMI with the ability to produce multiple global architectures and body styles,” said Kevin Williams, president and managing director of General Motors of Canada.

“Continually improving the flexibility of our manufacturing operations helps us respond quickly to customer needs and market demand.

2014 Forester stays true to its roots

By Lorne Drury METROLAND MEDIA

T

wheelstalk.com

HE DRIVE FROM NANAIMO TO Ucluelet on the west coast of Vancouver Island is a challenging one at the best of times.

It’s even more of a test when you do it at night because, for much of the journey in this rugged area, there is nothing to light your way other than the headlamps of your vehicle.

It is from here you encounter constant elevation changes as the road snakes back and forth through tricky mountain passes en route to your destination in the spectacular Pacific Rim area.

That was the scenario my driving partner and I faced as we arrived in Nanaimo and joined the first wave of journalists in the country to test Subaru’s redesigned Forester compact sportutility.

A flight delay meant we didn’t get into Nanaimo until near dark and then we faced a two-and-ahalf hour drive to our destination.

But, it soon became evident the new fourth-generation Forester we were driving was easily up to the challenge.

We were given the keys to a performance-oriented 250-horsepower XT model that features a new 2.0-litre direct-injection twinscroll turbocharged engine, mated with one of the best continuously variable transmissions (CVT) I have tested.

The Forester’s full-time allwheel-drive system evoked a feeling of confidence as we made our way through the twisty bits, particularly in one area where the pavement was a bit damp and greasy with snowdrifts off to either side of the road.

For casual observers, the exterior styling of the 2014 Forester will appear little changed, but Subaru aficionados will notice that the look is bolder this time around.

While the footprint of the Forester is not much different, the cabin is roomier in both front and rear.

Power in the performance Forester XT model, meanwhile, has been increased by 20 horse power, yet the fuel economy is best-in-class for all-wheel-drive models and near the top of the entire compact SUV category.

The Forester, which first debuted in 1997, is among Subaru’s most important vehicles as it accounted for 23 per cent of the company’s 31,003 units sold in Canada last year.

So, when Forester project manager Takuji Dai set out on the path for the 2014 model, his goals were

to enhance the core strengths of the previous generation — safety, utility and performance — and improve on the weak points such as fuel economy, interior roominess and the transmission.

From early indications, he was successful in all areas.

The 6.2L/100 km highway fuel-economy rating is tops in class for AWD models, while there is more rear-seat legroom and the new Lineartronic CVT is a step forward.

With the new direct-injection turbo 2.0-litre, power is up to 250 from 223 horse power — even with the improvements in fuel economy.

As always with Subaru, safety isn’t forgotten as the 2014 Forester has once again been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in the U.S. For those who aren’t performance-oriented, the Forester comes standard with a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre horizontally opposed Boxer engine, producing 170 horse power and 174 poundfeet of torque. A new six-speed manual transmission is standard with the 2.5i entry-level model, starting at $25,995.

At the top end of the Forester lineup is XT Limited, with navigation and the Eyesight precollision safety system, priced at $37,995.

The manual transmission is available on the 2.5i entry level and the Touring package as is the CVT as an option.

All other trim levels get the CVT only, while a high-torque version of the CVT with six- and eight-speed manual shift models with steering wheel paddle shifters is standard on the direct-injection turbo model.

All CVT models also get a new feature called X-Mode and Hill Descent Control that works together with the all-wheel-drive system to provide extra control in slippery driving conditions.

Among the other new features for 2014 are anti-whiplash front seats, a driver’s knee airbag, brake override and impact-sensing fuelsystem cutoff.

New model boasts loads of new features X From B8

For those who enjoy off-road adventures, the Forester enjoys 220 millimetres of ground clearance — higher than many crossovers and SUVs. Electric power steering is standard this time around.

Subaru engineers made the 2014 Forester more passenger-friendly with lowered side sills (38 millimetres lower) for easy ingress along with wider rear door openings, making it easier to accommodate child seats in the rear.

The sightlines were already outstanding in the Forester, but visibility in the 2014 model has been improved even more with tweaks like higher front seats, relocation of the exterior mirrors and the A-pillar and the addition of a rear-view camera for all models except the base.

Greater use of high-strength steel has

4 % &/ 45 3 - & ' 3* 0' "1

improved body rigidity on the new Forester and thus suspension performance is a cut above the outgoing model.

In fact, during our time with the Forester it appeared composed at all times, except for an encounter with one huge pothole that would have shaken the occupants of any vehicle.

The XT model also gets something called SI Drive that gives the option of using I (Intelligent), S (Sport) and S# (Sport Sharp).

I, for normal driving situations, provides smooth power output and improved fuel economy, while S increases use of higher engine speeds and S# gives sharper throttle

The 2014 Subaru Forester has a bolder exterior than previous models and improvements inside.

response and eight-speed stepped shifting.

The compact sport-utility segment in Canada continues to grow at a rapid rate with sales up 25 per cent from 2008 to more than 311,000 units in 2012.

It is also an extremely competitive segment with 26 models now on the market.

Even in this competitive environment,

with the changes for 2014 the Subaru Forester will no doubt grow market share, bringing in new customers to the brand while holding on to the loyal Subaru followers who love them because of their commitment to safety and reliability.

The 2014 Forester is available at Canadian dealerships now.

TRU set to honour distinguished alumni Six people and one business will be recognized at the Thompson Rivers University’s distinguished alumni awards dinner on Friday, April 12, at the Grand Hall on campus.

Award recipients include: • Fred Phelps, who graduated in 2003 with a bachelor of social work, obtaining a master’s degree in his field in 2006. He has worked in various capacities in the Saskatchewan and Ontario governments and is the executive director of the Canadian Association of Social Workers.

• Richard Cane, a natural-

resource science student who helped resurrect the Natural Resource Science Club at the university. He also mentored other students struggling with their courses. Crane was nominated by his faculty chair, who praised his leadership skills in organizing community events including cleaning up local parks.

• Amy Berard, a student in the bachelor of business administration program, who also works with the Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo United Way facilitating its Youth Day of Caring and annual community carnival. She is also a research assis-

tant for the city’s Homelessness Action Plan.

• Donna Munroe Lasser, a 1996 graduate from the animal-health technology program, who worked with Canadian veterinary technicians in 2005 in New Orleans to look after animals after Hurricane Katrina hit. She also created the Canadian Animal Assistance Team, a non-profit that provides veterinary care to animals in rural and remote areas of Canada and around the world, as well as educate children about responsible pet ownership.

• Tom Williamson, who was a student at Cariboo College in the

19702. Williamson was nominated for his work as the chief financial officer for the B.C. Lottery Corporation, from which he recently retired, and his involvement with the college’s hockey team. He was praised for his team-building focuses and leadership in the community.

• Christopher Flett, who graduated in 1999 with a bachelor of arts. He was a board member on the student union during his educational years, wrote What Men Don’t Tell Women About Business — which netted him an interview on The Today Show — and has founded 32 companies, includ-

ing Think Tank Communications in Kamloops, a multi-national research firm.

• Highland Valley Copper is being recognized for its collective efforts to make unique contributions to the lives and goals of TRU students and alumni through its programs allowing them to train on equipment donated

by HVC and by hiring alumni in trades and professional fields.

Actor Lorne Cardinal will be the keynote speaker at the dinner.

Tickets are $80 each, $50 for students and can be purchased by sending an email to advancementevents@tru.ca.

Canadian Cancer Society hosts free screening of film on effects of pesticides The Canadian Cancer Society is hosting a screening of a film showing how non-essential pesticides can affect health and environment.

The free screening of A Chemical Reaction will be held at Thompson Rivers University on Wednesday March 20, at 6:30 p.m.

“We’re excited to host a community screening of this award-winning documentary in our community,” said Anisha Judge, Canadian Cancer Society volunteer and Thompson Rivers University nursing student.

“The cosmetic use of pesticides is a public-health issue, particularly for children. A Chemical Reaction tells the story

Mom, did the sunshine brighter, or was the sky a deeper blue.

Or was it just a different world when we shared our lives with you.

Forever is a long time, this we know is true. But that’s how long our broken hearts will love and yearn for you.

of a powerful community initiative in Hudson, Quebec, which eventually resulted in Canada’s first bylaw to ban the use of all chemical pesticides and herbicides,” Judge said.

“Their bylaw led to a groundswell of communities and provinces taking action to reduce their use of cosmetic pesticides.”

Judge said there is a growing body of evidence that suggests a connection between pesticides and various cancers, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, prostate, kidney and lung cancers, as well as childhood leukemia.

The Canadian Cancer Society said that, because the cosmetic use of pesticides, which are used to enhance the

Takeo (Tak) Shimodaira Takeo (Tak) Shimodaira, aged 91 years passed away at Royal Inland Hospital on March 13, 2013. He is survived by his sister-in-law Mary, nephew Ross, nieces Val, Cheryl, Leanne (Ray), and great-nieces, Samantha and Kelsey. He is also survived by a large extended family and his many friends at Renaissance Retirement home.

He was predeceased by his parents Takezo and Yone; his sister Emiko and his brother John.

Tak was born and raised in BC. He graduated from high school at the start of World War 2 and was sent to road camp, and wasn’t able to further his education. Instead, he worked as a mill wright and retired from the Crown Zellerbach saw mill in Armstrong.

He had many interests, especially in steam trains, and science, especially in the field of astronomy.

Tak was a great supporter of the Kamloops Blazers and the BC Lions. He was a season ticket holder for many years with the BC Lions and would take the Greyhound bus to Vancouver to attend the games. He was also a season ticket holder with the Kamloops Blazers and eagerly attended all the home games and listened to the away games on his radio. He wore his flashing Kamloops Blazer hat with pride whenever they won a game.

A private, family graveside service will be held on March 22, 2013.

Koden and flowers are gratefully declined. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Renaissance Retirement Home is appreciated.

appearance of gardens and lawns, are not necessary and may cause harm to human health, it is encouraging people to learn about the importance of eliminating their exposure to cosmetic pesticides where possible.

“With spring approaching and lawn care on all of our radars, this film highlights the importance of making the transition to healthy, pesticide-free lawns and gardens in the Southern Interior,” said Canadian Cancer Society volunteer and student Evan Nordli.

The screening of A Chemical Reaction will be held in Lecture Hall CT200 in the Clock Tower Building at TRU. While admission is free, donations will be accepted.

A Vanished Friend Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race.

He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name.

“Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.”

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!”

And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!
