CELEBRATION TIME Tk’emlups Indian Band chief Shane Gottfriedson watches on as the 34th annual Kamloopa Powwow proceeds with dancing, grand entries, booths promoting traditional arts, crafts and food and many other cultural aspects that make the yearly event a major attraction. Highlights this year included the arrival of a flotilla of paddlers taking part in Pulling Together — a 10-day trek through area lakes to promote understanding between First Nations youth and area police (see page A5) — and formal signing of the Tk’emlups Reconciliation Agreement by Gottfriedson and provincial Minister of Aboriginal Relations John Rustad, a document formalizing the relationship between the band and the provincial government.

More ore means Ajax assessment delay By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

New ore findings at the Ajax site south of Aberdeen could shake up the configuration, size and lifespan of the proposed copper and gold mine — and will delay the company’s application for environmental assessment until some time next year. Dan Ferriter, vice-president of environment for KGHM International, said geologic surveys have uncovered more potential ore bodies within the boundaries of the site that could increase the amount of copper and gold available to mine. Drilling to further investigate the ore is underway and will continue for the next several months. Ferriter said it’s too early to say what changes will be made to the mine’s design because of the finds, but it could lead to tailings piles and other mine facilities being moved farther away from residences.

• Kelowna • Penticton • Salmon Arm • Valleyview • Rutland • West Kelowna • Vernon • North Kamloops • Sahali

“You want to make sure that where you locate your facilities, there’s not mineralization,” he said. Under the current mine plan, Ajax would be about 1.4 kilometres from the nearest homes in Aberdeen. Further ore bodies on site could also mean the mine needs a bigger pit, Ferriter said. KGHM external affairs manager Yves Lacasse said the new discoveries are an opportunity for the mine to “take a step back” and reassess its layout. He and Ferriter said possibly moving the mine farther from residences would be driven by the new drilling but, Lacasse said, if it becomes necessary it would also address some community concerns. “We’ve listened to the community and we share people’s goals,” he said. “And, people are asking if the project is too close and if there’s any possibility that we can make some improvement and optimize the distance between the boundaries of our project and the edges of the community. We will do this. As far as we can, we will.”

Ferriter said it’s not uncommon for a discovery like this to be made at this stage in a project’s life. While KGHM Ajax could theoretically submit its application for environmental review at any time in the future, the company’s application information requirements document, which sets out what it needs to investigate in its studies, expires after three years.

KGHM promises meetings, more information It’s open-mic night, Ajax style. The proponents of the copper and gold mine proposed south of Aberdeen are planning another round of public engagement in September that aims to explain how they’ll study potential impacts of the project on the community. KGHM Ajax external affairs manager Yves Lacasse said the company will hold four sessions, from Sept. 9 to Sept. 12, that look at the company’s air quality, water, noise and vibration, and human health and ecological risk assessments.

New home church’s destiny By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

OR ITS TWO YEARS OF life, House of Destiny Ministries has stayed largely a campus concern, it’s 60 or so members meeting in the Clocktower building at Thompson Rivers University. But, when the Shiloh Place condominium development opens at 1393 Ninth Ave. in approximately 14 months, the small pentecostal congregation will move into the community at large — and gain plenty of neighbours in the process. LionRock Developments, the company behind the housing and church project, kicked off construction Thursday, Aug. 1, with a demolition ceremony for the Hillcrest Baptist Church building that now occupies the lot. Once the old building comes down, the company will build 52 one- and two-bedroom condos ranging from 500 to 840 square feet. “Because of the smaller footprints, our target was emptynesters, young people, single families or single people,” said company president Mark Foster. “That’s pretty much what we’ve got so far. “We’ve been surprised in the number of empty-nesters we’ve actually seen here.

Milobar says Ajax concerns were heard By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

RICHARD KANYANGU: Pastor excited to have church included in plans.

I think they like the neighbourhood.” Along with the condos, Shiloh Place will feature just under 2,000 square feet of church and community meeting space that will include a daycare and coffee shop. “With a drop in congregation and less and less in the collection plate it becomes more and more difficult for a church to sustain

itself,” said Foster. The goal is for the commercial space in the build to support House of Destiny financially. The Kamloops development is Foster’s second of this type. The first, the River Church in Surrey, was born when Delta’s Royal Heights Baptist Church decided it was time to expand into a larger space. “We started thinking, well how do you pay for that these days?” said Foster. “It’s tough to go buy a chunk of three or four acres in Surrey. That’s like $10 million. So how the heck do you pay for it?” Their answer was to combine the new

building with condos and build a church that could also double as a multi-purpose community and convention space between times of worship. It’s an approach that is proving popular with churches, Foster said. When the company decided to do a Kamloops project, it was approached by several local congregations. While the Delta church made the final selection, Foster said getting a church with a good business sense into the space here was key. House of Destiny pastor Richard Kanyangu said it’s unlikely his mainly student congregation

would have been able to move into a permanent home this quickly were it planning a traditional, stand-alone church. “We’re hoping that, by coming out here it’ll give us an opportunity to reach out into the community and also help us have an impact on our community,” he said, adding the congregation hopes to become involved with its neighbouring Beattie School of the Arts, just like the old Hillcrest congregation was. “We’re here to continue the great work that was started and we just hope as we close this old chapter and open a new chapter that things continue to get better,” he said.

The provincial Ministry of Environment says it will look into “administering public education opportunities” for Kamloopsians to learn more about the environmental assessment process for the proposed Ajax mine, but is is not committing to asking for a full-sized test blast from the mine’s proponents. Last week, Mayor Peter Milobar met with recently appointed Environment Minister Mary Polak and Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett, now responsible for a decision on the copper and gold mine proposed for south of Aberdeen. Besides bringing the ministers up to speed on community concerns about the mine, Milobar said he touched on the desire of some in the city to see the mine’s proponents conduct a full-sized test blast at its site to demonstrate what the effects will be on the city. “There was no commitments made at all, which wasn’t unexpected,” Milobar said. “You rarely go into a meeting and they say, ‘OK, you’ve got everything you want, see you’.” In response to an inquiry from KTW, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Environment said Milobar has made the city’s concerns clear. “We understand the desire of Mayor Milobar and the community to have the proponent, KGHM, conduct a full test blast at the mine site,” the spokesman said. Milobar said he feels the meeting went well. “They’ve heard our concerns around noise and blasting and how that interplays with groundwater and why people are nervous and things like that,” he said. “They certainly seemed to have a very good grasp of all of that and are looking at working with us to make sure it’s as well understood of a process moving forward as possible.”

RIH readies for new building site preparation Interior Health Authority has taken another step in building a clinical-services building at Royal Inland Hospital. Pre-qualified contractors can now put in their bid for the next step in the project — site preparation and relocation of underground servicing — through a tendering process.

Construction of the building on the front lawn is expected to begin next spring after a lengthier tendering process to identify a contractor to design the structure as well as build it. The building will improve site access and provide expanded space including a new University of British Columbia medical

school and clinical educational program space, expanded medical outpatient services, additional parking stalls and a walkway connecting the new building to the main hospital. Having the site preparation completed in advance of awarding the design-build component is the most efficient way to ensure the

$79.8-million project remains on schedule, said Erin Toews, an IHA communications officer. Cost of construction is being shared by the provincial government and the Thompson Regional Hospital District. Construction on the building is expected to take approximately two years to complete.

Participants of Pulling Together Journey come ashore at the Quaaout Lodge beach. The paddlers headed out from Mara Lake on July 26, headed to Kamloops for the annual Kamloopa Powwow, which wrapped up on the weekend. Cavelle Layes/KTW

Paddlers pull together By Cavelle Layes STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

The drums could be heard distances away as more than 20 canoes appeared in the horizon. Each manned with about 16 people, the waters were quickly filled with painted canoes as hoots and hollers of laughter and cheer rang out. While it has happened annually since 2001, this is the first time the Pulling Together Journey has taken place in the Interior. The event was created to help bridge the gap between First Nations youth and local police, event organizer Tina Donald said. Const. Rob Claypool, First Nations liaison for the Chase RCMP, said various police departments are involved in the event. Police boats have escorted the paddlers and Vancouver police volunteers to cooked a meal the participants and road crew. People from all ages to take the nine-day journey, which sees them paddling by day and camping by night. “Everyone learns a lot,” said Ernie Phillips, an elder on the journey. “The canoe is part of our ways. It is part of our past; it is not new to us.” Phillips said the journey would not have been the same had it taken place by foot or any other transportation method, explaining that traveling by canoe requires people to communicate with one another. As the groups came to shore, each member of the canoe family got to work with their designated jobs. This is what the event is about, said Donald. “It teaches youth respect. They learn to respect one another, themselves, their elders and their canoes. It is about creating relationships with different levels and areas of government and RCMP.” Donald was originally unsure how the journey would be received in the Interior, noting not only was the location of the event changed from the Lower Mainland to the Shuswap, the date also changed. The journey normally takes place at the beginning of July, but was changed to coincide

with the beginning of the Kamloopa Powwow, which ran from Aug. 2 to Aug. 5. Despite the many changes, Donald said the response has been supportive and encouraging from both participants and the communities they have visited. “Each day we go along it gets bigger,” she said, noting they went from just over 10 families signed up in the beginning up to 22 midway through the journey. Donald said she believes the communities have been enjoying the event, as well, describing onlookers lining the shores waving as they pass by. “As we go, each destination has had a bigger crowd greeting us,” she said. The first couple of days were a little rough, Donald explained, “ but, after that, people got into rhythm with one another.” Donald said she is unsure where the event will be held next year. She said there is a paddle which acts as a trophy in a sense and is passed on each year to the area which will be hosting the next event. If no one steps forward to claim the paddle by the end of the journey, it will remain in Kamloops until someone does, she said. “They would need to come to Kamloops to receive the paddle in person,” Donald said.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING NOTICE Thursday, August 22 125 Palm Street, Kamloops Dinner: 5:30pm ~ Meeting: 6:00pm

For more information or to become a member call 250-376-1296

We have just released our newest wine, Inspired Madness, so named by a visiting friend from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, our former home. He admired our large farm property but wondered what in the world we were doing at our age, in our 70’s, as a retirement project to plant a vineyard and to open a winery. He said this was “Inspired Madness,” and so, a name for our newest wine was born. The wine is a red variety made from Marechal Foch grapes, a French variety. We aged this wine in American oak barrels for a dry, oaked style, adding an extra aromatic dimension to the nose of the wine. The wine is now one of six varieties we offer, three white and three red, at our winery which we opened four years ago in 2010, although we have been growing grapes for eleven years. Today we reflect on how the wine market in British Columbia is growing by leaps and bounds. While the British Columbia wine industry has a history dating back to the nineteenth century, it is only in the last twenty-five years that the number of wineries in British Columbia has grown significantly. Today there are 215 wineries and over 500 vineyards. In the Shuswap we have six wineries. Because of our northern latitude some of the grape varieties are perhaps not as well known, nevertheless they produce top flight wines. All the wineries of the Shuswap have won significant awards at the national level (Celista won two gold medals in 2012 and a total of 20 medals in the first three years of its operation.) As for the main varieties grown in the Shuswap two are predominant - Ortega, a white variety, and Marechal Foch, a red variety.

sturdy, flavourful and age-worthy reds. The wines have a strong acid base making them food –friendly. The hybrid grapes are small, purpled-skinned with deep inky-coloured juice. Foch is easy to enjoy young, although the strong acid base makes it great for aging. Consumption of wine is undergoing rapid consumer growth and as a result people are gaining greater insight and awareness of wine. And so, as with anything, people are interested in learning the language of the industry. The following are some of the terms a wine devotee might use in talking about wine. Oenophile – a lover of wine. Bouquet – the layers of smell and aromas perceived in a wine. Also referred to as aroma. Palate – the feel and taste of wine in the mouth Finish – the amount of time a flavour lingers on the palate after the wine is swallowed Structure – the components of wine, acidity, sugar, density of fruit flavours and tannins in relation to the overall balance and body of a wine. Appelation – the geographic region where grapes are grown Terroir – French term meaning soil, different soils impart different characteristic flavours to wines Vintage – The year the grapes are harvested Uulage – the space between the wine and the top of the bottle. In the case of cork usage this increases with time as the wine ages and evaporates or seeps into the cork. Acid – one of the tastes in wine. It is sometimes described as sour, acidic or tart and can be found on the sides of the tonque and mouth. Nose – a term used to describe the bouquet and aroma of wine.

Ortega is a cross between Muller-Thurgau and Siegerrebe, developed as a German wine but named in honour of the Spanish poet and philosopher Jose Ortega y Gasset. The grape is very suitable for our northern latitude because it ripens early and is cold hardy. Ortega wines have aromas of Muscat and peach and are often used for sweet wines. The wines are considered to improve with cellaring.

Tannin – a natural compound and preservative that comes from the skins, stems and seeds of the grapes.

Marechal Foch is winter–hardy and its fruit is early ripening and disease resistant, ideal for our location here on the North Shore of Shuswap Lake. Foch produces

Instead, experts and consultants working for KGHM will explain the factors they’re looking at and methods being used to conduct the assessment work. “Some of the concerns in the community are about the air quality, so we’re going to be talking about air quality and what’s involved in an air-quality model,” Lacasse said. The sessions will also explain how each model fits into the mine’s larger review. Unlike some past sessions, Lacasse said this round of workshops

will provide plenty of opportunity for public questions. “We want to open the sessions to the public so they have an opportunity to ask questions,” he said. “In the past, it’s been just basically a number of experts talking to the community but not really answering questions. “We’re going to have an open mic, we’re going to have our experts and our consultants in attendance.” Lacasse said KGHM is still committed to releasing results from its studies ahead of its final application — should it be possible to

do so — and asked the public to have patience with the process. “A lot of people, because of impatience, are trying to fill the gaps with a lot of misinformation,” he said. “So, when we’re asking for patience, we’re asking them to wait until the actual science and data has been researched.” Dates, times and locations for the workshops will be online at ajaxmine.ca.

Mayor thinks provincial government might agree to New Gold annexation By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city won’t be drawing new lines on its maps any time soon, but Mayor Peter Milobar said the provincial government appears to be open to its plans to extend Kamloops’ boundaries to annex New Gold’s New Afton mine. Milobar broached the subject to Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Coralee Oakes during a meeting with five provincial ministers in

Victoria on Wednesday, July 31. While he said the conversation was preliminary, Milobar thought Oakes, a former Quesnel city councillor, seemed open to the idea. “There’s lots of different areas of the province that want to do boundary expansions,” he said. “So, I was trying to explain what we’re trying to do with it and the logic behind it and trying to spell out why we feel it’s a little more unique than the other ones.” The boundary expansion idea came up

as one way to make up the revenue gap that a major tax shift in the future could lead to. Though there is interest at the provincial level, Milobar said redrawing boundaries isn’t going to be a quick process. “I’ve known Minister Oakes for quite some time now. We were both councillors at the same time and things like that. She gets the resource industry and how important it is to local communities,” he said. “But, it’s just one meeting out of many in a long process.”

during the city’s budget talks this year, as the city’s heavy-industrial ratepayers lobbied for a tax break. Representatives of the companies argued they aren’t growing at nearly the rate their tax bills are and the city’s taxation levels are out of line with provincial averages. At the time, a representative from Domtar said the company wants to see its bill go down by half — from $6 million to $3 million. That led Milobar to suggest annexation

B.C. aboriginal process fragile

HE CEREMONIES HAVE become common at the B.C. legislature. Government officials and aboriginal leaders gather to celebrate resource-sharing agreements to allow economic development in areas that need employment but are hampered by a century of uncertainty and dispute over treaties, or lack thereof. This approach emerged a decade ago with forest agreements. The B.C. Liberal government bought back timber-cutting licences from big forest firms and made them available for community forests and aboriginal communities that claimed the areas as their traditional territories. Recently, the approach was extended to mining revenues and water-licence fees paid by private power developers. These are substantial steps forward for the only province in Canada in treaty limbo. A 2010 sharing deal worth more than $30 million in royalties for the Mount Milligan copper-gold mine north of Prince George helped the McLeod Lake Indian Band recover from the pine beetle and forestry slump that devastated its business base. After many years of struggle, Mount Milligan expects to go into production this year. Another agreement with Kamloops-area communities shared revenues from an expanded Afton mine. Perhaps the most ambitious agreement was concluded in March when the government signed a deal with the Tahltan Nation for mining and hydroelectric development in remote

TOM FLETCHER Our Man in

VICTORIA northwestern B.C. The deal clears the way for a major extension of the BC Hydro grid to power the Tahltan village of Iskut and also the Red Chris metal mine, opening up the region to other mining and hydro potential as well. To get that deal, the province put up $20 million last year to buy back Shell Canada’s coalbed gas leases in the Klappan region, headwaters of the Nass, Skeena and Stikine Rivers. Those leases had become a target of international protest. Even after these expensive concessions, it would be an error to conclude that all is well between the Tahltan and the province. Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson questioned Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad on this point during the recent legislature session. The Tahltan Central Council was pleased about shared decision-making on resource projects, until they found out that B.C. had handed the environmental assessment of a new open-pit coal mine over to the federal government. The proposed mine is in the Klappan, known around the world as the Sacred Headwaters. Rustad said shared decisionmaking deals such as the Tahltan

agreement do not cover activities of the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office. Whether the review of that coal mine is federal, provincial or combined, it requires extensive consultation with affected parties. That’s great, but all that goodwill could evaporate quickly if a coal mine ends up getting a permit despite Tahltan objections. Donaldson highlighted another problem. Last year, the government signed a reconciliation agreement with the Gitanyow First Nation near Terrace, one of many communities struggling to get through the B.C. treaty-negotiation process. That agreement included a joint land-use plan. Then, the Environmental Assessment Office asked the Gitanyow for its input on proposed gas pipelines through its territory, to feed the government’s liquefied natural gas plans. Again, the joint land-use plan has no provision for pipelines. The Gitanyow hereditary chiefs wrote to the B.C. government in July, threatening to go to court over the pipeline proposal and questioning the value of their hard-won reconciliation agreement. Resource revenue-sharing agreements and shared land-use plans are well-intentioned and represent real progress. But these situations show how fragile they are.

Just about any information a person may hear can seem truer if they hear it often enough. Repetition works wonders. Repetition works wonders. The topic here is dogs and hot weather and here goes the the plea, once again (and it naturally goes double for children, where applicable). The short-form of this message would be to simply suggest dogs be left at home far more often than they are. We’re not formally linked with the SPCA, by the way, just interested in much of what it promotes. The longer form stresses the fact of how fast a vehicle heats up once the air conditioning goes off, how hot pavement can be for the feet of a pooch on a 30C+ day and how there’s no way a panting tongue alone can properly cool an animal sporting a thick fur coat. Sure this is all repeated every summer but, just like drinking-and-driving warnings, it’s well worth repeating if the lives of only one or two pets are spared or made more comfortable. One last thing: If you have your sheepdog or pug in the car with you during this hot weather and you really are only going to leave them for a minute or two, please try to be tolerant if someone takes you to task in a parking lot. It’s because they care. Hopefully they won’t go overboard. Then again, why not avoid any possible conflict and just leave the dog at home near the water dish?

Would Ajax’s Lacasse want to live near mine? Editor: Re: (‘City’s Ajax report lands with a boom,’ KTW, July 28): Once again, Andrea Klassen has produced a well-articulated article. I would have to side with the geotechnical report as formed by Golder Associates.

If sonic booms from blasting at the proposed Ajax site could cause that much of a problem 10 kilometres and beyond, one can only imagine what kind of an impact it will have on a range of four kilometres from the site. What kind of an impact would this sound have on the

staff and students attending Pacific Way and Aberdeen elementary schools. To external affairs manager Yves Lacasse’s remarks concerning “dozer passing an observer at a distance of 10 to 20 metres,” one wonders whether Lacasse would have the same view point if he lived

in Upper Aberdeen. Lastly, over the years, we have heard a lot about soil stability, or lack thereof, in the Aberdeen area. What kind of an impact would these vibrations have on the soil-stability of the area? Lawrence Beaton Kamloops

Editor: Re: (‘NDP soul search going nowhere,’ B.C. Views, July 31): Climate change is a reality and bold political leadership is needed to address it. During the election campaign, New Democrats put forward a plan to expand the base of the carbon tax to include venting emissions from oil and gas operations, capturing an additional five per cent of carbon emissions in the province, but that plan didn’t include all industrialprocess emissions. We believe government should work with the oil and gas sector to make sure companies pay their fair share for the emissions they produce. This is particularly important as the B.C. Liberal government pursues an aggressive schedule of liquid natural-gas expansion which, if realized, will make it nearly impossible for the government to reach our legal emission reduction requirements. New Democrats will hold the government to account for their green promises, and continue to advocate for policies that help reduce emissions and spur efficiency, innovation and best practices.

On pot debate, ask who is doing the research Editor: I must admit that the plethora of research findings these days regarding pot consumption’s effect on human health that “reveal” a benign or, contrarily, insidious nature to cannabis consumption make me instinctually wonder: Who commissioned the research? As cynical as it may sound, I’m one who believes quite often knowing the interests of the entity that has commissioned the research often reveals much about the research findings to come. News media will likely use the terms “independent” or “independently commissioned,” but such doesn’t necessarily translate into 100 per cent accuracy; questions asked and/or research methodology can be manipulative.

However, there are rare knowledgeable public figures who, in my view, can be taken at face value: Scientist David Suzuki, while having publicly voiced his support for legalizing cannabis consumption, also voiced his concern over increased cases of severe mental illness — most notably severe schizophrenia — due to significantly genetically enhanced THC concentration levels. Regardless of how one feels about his views on such a sacred cow topic as marijuana, Suzuki is one active citizen who truly cannot be simply, conveniently dismissed as naught but an ideologue, demagogue or worse, an opportunistic politician or activist news-media.

Former councillor faces fraud, theft charges By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Former city councillor Joe Leong is scheduled to appear in provincial court on Monday, Aug.26, on six charges. Leong faces two charges each of fraud, theft over $5,000 and breach of trust. The charges come after Kamloops RCMP was asked by city administration to look into the finances of the Kamloops Heritage Railway Society, for

JOE LEONG: Ready to challenge for the mayor’s chair.

which Leong acted as treasurer for a time. After an audit was completed of the society books, the

city still had questions about the group’s accounting practices and what appeared to be two instances of $100,000 each being moved out of society bank accounts for several months and then returned. Glenn Wideman, the society’s past-president, told KTW at the time he had been told money had been invested for the society through a company Leong operates. In June, police said no money was miss-

ing from the society’s accounts. However, it has been unable to pay for an estimated $400,000 for repairs to the steam train, a tourist fixture for years in Kamloops. The train will not be allowed to run until the repairs are complete to the satisfaction of Transport Canada. At its annual general meeting several weeks ago, society members were told the executive has a three-phase plan to get the train rolling on the tracks again.

No ‘showdown’ with teachers, minister says Administrator to replace trustees in bargaining By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS tfletcher@blackpress.ca

The B.C. government is pressing ahead with its goal of a 10-year agreement with B.C. teachers, appointing a public administrator to replace school trustees on the board of their provincial bargaining agency. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the change is temporary and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) will continue to play an important role in talks with teachers and support staff. PETER FASSBENDER: BCPSEA will be Change required to meet under the direction of promise by premier. Michael Marchbank, CEO of the Hospital Employers’ Association, when talks with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) resume in September. Fassbender’s announcement surprised school trustees around the province. He said he spoke to or left messages for trustees on the BCPSEA executive before making the announcement in Vancouver. The move is to meet a demand of the BCTF to bargain directly with the B.C. government,

Fassbender said. The government also intends to eliminate essential-services rules that keep schools open with minimum staff during strikes. Fassbender denied the suggestion he is setting up a showdown with teachers that would shut down schools and turn the public against unions. The structural change is needed to achieve the stability for students and parents promised by Premier Christy Clark, he said. “It’s not about pitting them against us,” Fassbender said. “It’s about finding a new road map where we can achieve that goal.” A two-year contract extension and wage freeze imposed by the government on teachers expired at the end of June. Jim Iker, who took over this spring as BCTF president, told CKNW radio his union isn’t opposed to a long-term settlement, as long as more resources are there to improve classroom conditions. The BCTF is returning to court this fall to seek restoration of bargaining for class size and specialneeds support. School-support staff represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees are to resume negotiations for a new contract this month, after walking away last spring because their negotiators didn’t believe BCPSEA had an adequate mandate to get a settlement. CUPE employees have not had a raise in four years.

On The Go?

YLAN Armstrong says clean Canadian athletes are often bringing knives to a gun fight with dopers. “We’ve got butter knives and we’re going up against people with AK-47s,” Armstrong said on Thursday, Aug. 1, after hearing he was awarded a bronze medal from the 2010 World Indoor Track and Field Championships. “That’s literally how it is. Everybody says, ‘Canada never gets any medals.’ “Well, do you know what it’s like? Do you know what we’re up against? What do you expect?” The hulking Kamloops product found out he might be in line to receive retroactive bronze from both the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2010 indoor worlds when Belarusian athlete Andrei Mikhnevich – who finished ahead of Armstrong at both events – was caught for doping after a re-testing of samples collected at the 2005 World Championships. On Thursday, the International Association of Athletics Federations annulled Mikhnevich’s results dating back to August 2005. He has been banned for life. It’s now up to the International Olympic

Committee (IOC) to decide if Mikhnevich’s Beijing result will be annulled. “I’ll tell you what happens . . . these countries, they want the medals,” said Armstrong, who’s in Sweden training for the World Track and Field Championships, which get underway in Moscow on Aug. 10. “When they get the medals, everybody gets to keep their jobs. “They get money. The federation gets more money. People are protecting their interests. They help the athletes buy time. They set up certain competitions. “That’s where the problem lies.” Armstrong has been complimentary of antidoping organizations that are stepping up and catching athletes using performance-enhancing drugs. High-profile sprinters Asafa Powell of Jamaica and Tyson Gay, an American, both failed drug tests in July. Neither Powell nor Gay will attend the World Championships later this month. Armstrong has been in contact with the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) and Athletics Canada since hearing the news of Mikhnevich’s fate. He would like the Olympic bronze around his neck sooner rather than later. “I’ve sent a few emails and the COC

should be contacting the IOC,” Armstrong said. “We should be getting some answers soon. It’s official now. It’s kind of like the nail in the coffin. “I trust that they [the IOC] will make the right decision.” There are some things the IOC cannot make right. “The moments that he lost, right?” said Judy Armstrong, Dylan’s mom. “He knows that those are gone and I think that’s what he feels bad about, as do we.” The National Throws Centre, which now exists in Kamloops, might have been functional before 2012 if Armstrong had been awarded bronze in 2008. “There a lot of things that people don’t realize with regards to getting the medals — especially the medal in Beijing,” Judy said. “We could have had a centre sooner, we would have got more money for that centre and a lot of athletes would have benefitted from Dylan’s performance.” Financially, Armstrong would have been better off if he reached the podium in 2008. “All the sponsorships and all of that, his contract with them had he got a medal . . . none of that will happen now. “And, of course, those stolen moments, that’s the big thing.”

Columbia to go through test work, data collection, impact studies, review, and permitting stages and, although previous work was done on this project, KGHM International only became the operator in September 2012. I believe that the Ajax Project remains a viable development with signiﬁcant beneﬁts to Kamloops including, but not limited to, many hundreds of jobs.

August 6, 2013 Dear Kamloops Community Members Today, we held a press conference to notify the community of Kamloops that KGHM International will not submit the Environmental Assessment Application for the Ajax Project in September of this year, as previously intended. This is a recent decision and staying true to our commitment to be transparent, we are informing you as soon as we can. The decision comes after our recently concluded comprehensive evaluation of the Ajax Project. During this evaluation, we identified possible mineralized zones which could potentially increase the amount of copper and gold we are able to mine; we are therefore required and have begun to evaluate the economic viability of these zones through additional drilling and studies. Because we are focused on further research of these finds, we will not submit our Application until after the area has been fully assessed. During the evaluation we also began considering potential opportunities to modify the project’s layout in a way that may allow us to move some of our structures away from the closest residential neighbourhoods and public infrastructure. We have not yet made a final determination of what changes, if any, we will make in this regard. However, we are announcing our preliminary intentions in order to keep the local community and all other stakeholders informed as work at site continues. As many of you know, it takes several years for mining projects in British

We understand you have been waiting, and continue to wait, for information about the Ajax Project. We are planning community information sessions for September 9th through to 12th where we will provide you with information about the inputs to and design of our air quality model, water quality model, noise and vibration model, and our human health and ecological risk assessment. Although we will not be ready to share study results at these sessions, you will take away a deeper understanding of what we are studying, the kind of information we are seeking, and how all of our studies ﬁt together to provide a comprehensive look at the potential environmental and human health effects of the Ajax Project. Please visit www.ajaxmine.ca for more information. Lastly, I want to inform you of our new project website. We have designed this website to be more informative and simpler to navigate. New features include an interactive timeline with a historical look at the Ajax Project and local mining activities, a focus on mining education with a mining glossary, and an interactive map of all KGHM International operations and projects. During our recent press conference, we committed to increasing dialogue with the community and keeping you informed of our progress on the Ajax Project. We will use our new website as one of many ways to inform you of new project developments, including work we are doing on site and where we are in the Environmental Assessment process.

Scoreclock on schedule By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Interior Savings Centre’s new $650,000 scoreclock was reaching completion on Friday, Aug. 2. “The initial grunt work of getting it assembled, installed and engineered and raised up is almost done,” said Jeff Putnam, the city’s sports development and business operations manager. “We’re hoping to have it, I’d say, 95 per cent complete by day’s end [Friday], possibly by tomorrow.” Putnam said final testing will likely be conducted early this week and ice-makers can then get to work at ISC. The next stage is a training exercise on the software — the content-management side of things, Putnam said. “Right now, our primary partner is the Kamloops Blazers.” The Blazers are no longer employing Kamloops Pro Video. Instead, the club is hiring audio-visual staff on an individual basis. Training on the new system was expected to start on Saturday, Aug. 3. The scoreclock’s installation has been a team effort — city electricians, Rock Advertising and its sub-contractors and OES Scoreboards. “It’s impressive.” Putnam said. “We lit up the top ring a

couple days ago just to test the equipment and it was pretty bright. “The boys needed to wear sunglasses. “It’s going to be shockingly improved.” Putnam noted the ISC roof did not need reinforcing. “It’s under 10,000 pounds, so it’s all perfectly fine.” Replacing the decade-old, 1.5-metre by 2.5-metre dinosaur that hung in ISC with a three-metre by fivemetre update should satisfy fans who complained about the old system. “The new HD-video scoreclock will remain a city asset, but the Blazers are a major partner and contributor and will continue to receive advertising revenue from the new system,” Putnam said. The Blazers — who pay the city almost $480,000 per year for lease and marketing rights at ISC — chose not to reveal how much money they forked over for the new system. Workers will raise the clock to the rafters using a winch-drive and motor pulley system, which has already been installed. The city plans on hosting a free movie showing, likely in the third week of August, to debut the new scoreclock. “It’s right on schedule,” Putnam said. “We’ve got a few movie titles in mind, but we won’t reveal them now.”

Kamloops will host the 2013 BC Seniors Games from Aug. 20 to Aug. 24, 2013. The city is expecting about 3,500 athletes, ages 55 and up, to attend the Games, which will feature more than 20 events, ranging from cribbage to ice hockey. KTW continues its biweekly feature page, with each page focusing on one of the Games’ events.

By Sarah MacMillan SPECIAL TO KTW

For track-and-field participant Kathy Brand, the B.C. Seniors Games are not about whether you win or lose, but the fun that is had participating. “It doesn’t matter if a friend beats me or not,” Brand said. “It’s about the fun.” Brand is the Zone 8 track-andfield co-ordinator, as well as competitor.

“I used to be a runner,” Brand said. She started running long distance and then added sprints. But, due to a health issue, she switched to participating in throwing events. “I enjoy the sport and I enjoy the exercise,” she said. “I enjoy it every bit as much as running.” Brand is also a member of the Kamloops Track and Field Club and participates in different events

with the club. “This year, I’ve been to two,” said Brand, who usually tries to go to six. Brand says the throwing events can be somewhat mentally challenging. “The throwing events are technical,” Brand said. “And, there are a lot of techniques that you have to learn.” At the B.C. Seniors games, the throwing events in which Brand participates, such as discus, javelin and shot put, are only a few of the track-

Eat some more, eh? New food truck blends exotic flair with local fare By Cavelle Layes STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

A new restaurant is rolling into to town and the proud new owners hope it will inspire Kamloopsians to eat locally. Michael and Natalie Wheeler-Johnson were unhappy working at their municipal-government jobs in Fort McMurray and were looking for a way out. While Michael had never worked in the food industry before, Natalie had a rich family history filled with culinary wizards. Her grandmother was from Naples, Italy, and her mother was half-Italian and half-Croatian, Michael said. With both passing down their extended knowledge in the kitchen to Natalie, she began to fuse the two together on her own. Now, the couple has created Eatsamore — a recently launched Kamloops food truck. Eatsamore’s menu boasts international fare made with local ingredients. “Ninety per cent of the ingredients are made right here,” Michael said, referring to Sun Rivers Organics, where they had planted many of the vegetables themselves. They have tried to keep all their ingredients local, keeping the 100-mile-diet in mind. Their cheese comes from Salmon Arm, with the farthest-away ingredient coming from Chilliwack. Their menu selection features an assortment of fresh, handmade pastas, such as a squash ravioli and beet linguini, paired with a made-

from-scratch sauce. “If you fall in love with something, you better get it while you can,” Michael said, explaining the menu changes as ingredients come into season. What is on the menu today might not be there a few weeks from now, he said. The business has also tried to stay as environmentally friendly as possible, using cups made from corn skin and plates created from sugar cane, ensuring both are biodegradable. The food truck can be found at the Valleyview Square on opposite days of the the Pig Rig, as well as at local farmers’ markets. It is available for catering. Michael said they hope to keep Eatsamore year-round for the first few years, explaining that their menu will change to reflect the season.

BBQ is back in Riverside By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s not common for an event, in its first year, to be so wildly successful that projected numbers were shattered. But, that’s what happened last year with the inaugural Kamloops Ribfest. And, now, it’s back. “I think the people of Kamloops were looking for an event that’s a little bit different, and it’s a great tie-in with Hot Nite in the City,” said Bryce Herman, event spokesman. Last year, Herman said, Ribfest drew somewhere in the neighbourhood of 35,000 to 40,000 people to Riverside Park, and raised upward of $40,000 for Kamloops

Daybreak Rotary. This year, organizers are hoping to see as many as 60,000 people take in the barbecue and everything else that comes with it — and they’re hoping to raise as much as $60,000. “Expect the same as last year — but enhanced,” Herman said. “We’ve got a great lineup of musical acts, the Family Fun Zone, there’s constant entertainment.” There’s also a feature Herman referred to as a 1,000-seat “beverage centre” — something that sounds an awful lot like a gigantic beer garden. As for the competitors, Herman said, attendees can expect more of the same great barbecue they chowed down on last summer. “There are some

different ones from last year, but it’s more of the same — professional, competitive barbecue organizations,” he said. “They travel a

circuit and hit all the major events.” There is no admission fee to Ribfest, but the food is not free. Herman said items generally range in price

from about $2 for corn on the cob to $20 for a full rack of professionally barbecued ribs. For more information, go online to kamloopsribfest.com.

Ford C-Max Energi offers plug-in performance

Call it a tall wagon or a mini minivan, the C-Max Energi plugin hybrid is a practical people carrier with the added benefit of a hybrid powertrain that can operate for up to 43 kilometres on electricity alone. And, despite its eco identity, the wagon still looks sporty with bulging fenders over 17-inch alloys, a roof spoiler and sharp character line that bisects both door handles.

Y WIFE ACCUSES ME OF HAVING TWO CONFLICTING PERSONALITIES. I prefer the term “complex.” On one hand, I lack the patience for ecofriendly motoring, and am less than euphoric when some do-gooder thwarts my progress with achingly slow acceleration and early, gentle braking. On the other hand, my love for over-powered rides with turbo fours, sixes and gas-guzzling V8s is challenged by my thrift. Frequent trips to the gas pump hike my blood pressure even more than green slowpokes. So, while a neck-snapping hybrid like the BMW ActiveHybrid3 may relieve my inner turmoil, I lack that kind of budget and could buy two Ford C-Max Energi plug-in hybrids — my tester for the week — for about the same price. Admittedly, this five-door tall wagon doesn’t come close to matching the Bimmer in style and performance, but it’s far more practical, and will carry five passengers — and all their stuff — comfortably, and with loads of tech goodies to keep them informed and entertained. In terms of form and function, think Mercedes B 250, Mazda5, Kia Rondo, and the Prius V. C-Max wears a similar shape, but is one of the most fetching among them with its bold Fusionstyle grille, wraparound projector headlamps, 17-inch alloys, roof spoiler, and sharp character line that bisects both door handles. The Energi model — starting at $36,999 — is top dog in the three-car lineup that also includes two standard hybrids: The SE at $27,199 and SEL at $30,199. The Energi has a long list of standard equipment and plenty of options. One of the first features I tested was the famed hands-free liftgate. With smart key in pocket, I briefly waved my foot under the rear bumper to release the latch and raise the power liftgate. So simple, yet so practical — especially when it’s raining and you’re loaded down with groceries. With all those big brains in the auto industry, it’s a wonder nobody thought of this sooner. Like all wagons, the C-Max shines at cargo carrying, but the plug-in’s larger battery takes a bite from its capacity. The regular hybrid offers 694 litres of space behind the 60/40 second row and 1,490 litres with all seats folded flat. The Energi provides 544 and 1,212 litres with a raised deck to accommodate its lithium-ion battery pack. The other four doors open to a surprisingly roomy interior. Passengers are treated to loads of head and legroom in both rows of seating, which in the C-Max Energi is heated up front and trimmed in leather. One nifty feature is the second row in-floor storage.

C-Max more electric than hybrid X From A20

toring and coaching are in order. The C-Max’s brake coach, just left of the speedometer, displays your braking efficiency every time you hit the pedal. Brake late and hard, and you’ll get a failing grade. I was awarded 41 per cent on one abrupt stop. Brake gently and gradually and you’ll be scoring in the nineties. The efficiency leaves, one of several optional screens to the right of the speedo, is a graphic representation that grows leaves and vines when you drive efficiently and sheds its foliage when you don’t. At one point, my display was a sorry equivalent of the Charlie Brown Christmas tree, but that was soon remedied with a little restraint. Other readouts offer instant and historical fuel economy, trip data, time-elapsed fuel consumption and kilometres to empty, not to mention battery status and energy usage. I paid little attention to any of these until trying to survive on battery alone. If, like me, you’re blessed with a short commute, the C-Max Energi may rarely visit the pump. Of course, you can’t run in EV mode without properly charging the unit via a standard

These footwell compartments are small, but ideal for hiding iPods, smartphones and other valuables. It’s in the instrument panel and centre console, however, where Ford has really invested its energy. You’d expect a hybrid to provide loads of driver info, and the C-Max takes this to the max. Let’s start with the dual-LCD Ford SmartGauge that provides real-time information to help get the most from this vehicle. If you’re unfamiliar with the benefits of a “plug-in,” C-Max’s larger battery gives this model substantially more EV capability, making it closer to a range-extended electric vehicle like the Chevy Volt, than a typical hybrid. The regular hybrid isn’t designed for sustained EV mode, but can go up to 100 km/h on electrons only. But, capability isn’t reality, and 43 klicks without gasoline is a pipe dream for most. Turn on lights, air conditioning, audio system and other accessories, and the max range will plummet — and that doesn’t account for driving style. Where I’m heading is that to avoid trips to the pump, a little moni-

120-volt outlet (takes overnight) or an available 240-volt station that takes about 2.5 hours. Regenerative braking alone won’t do it. One helpful feature is the charging port’s illuminated ring. This works best at night, but each quadrant lights as the battery charges, allowing you to monitor its progress from a nearby window. Next morning, and after starting the C-Max, I simply pushed the “EV Now” button and was operating as silently as a golf cart — albeit with only 30 kilometres to start and not the 43 I’d expected. Had I wanted to save the full charge for later — and, for example, not waste it on an immediate highway run — I could have selected “EV Later.” Acceleration sans gas is mild, providing no kick for passing or merging into traffic. But, for most situations, it’s easy to forget you’re driving on electricity alone.

It is really no gamble because, when you run out, the petrol engine seamlessly takes over. The C-Max Energi then returns to full hybrid operation. Performance is surprisingly peppy with the entire system on tap, as the gas/electric duo makes a combined 195 horse power, taking the vehicle’s 1,750kilogram curb weight smartly up to speed. The Energi comes with some additional goodies like pushbutton start, dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors and the SYNC with MyFordTouch infotainment system that, in my tester, also included optional navigation and upgraded audio. Transport Canada posts a Canadian fuel economy rating of 1.9Le/100km (150 MPGe city/hwy/comb) using electricity and gas. The U.S. numbers are more conservative, but my real-world results were, according to the on-board computer, 5.9Le/100km.

That could have improved, had I been lighter on the pedal and more diligent about using EV mode. But, based on experience, including a recent run in the larger Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, I can achieve similar results in a regular hybrid. Bottom line, if your decision on choosing the Energi over any other C-Max is a financial one, you’ll not likely recoup the price premium any time soon. But, that doesn’t diminish the concept. Until batteries become vastly more efficient and/or public quick-charge outlets become as ubiquitous as gas stations, pure electric vehicles will remain a novelty or, at best, a second vehicle. Plug-in hybrids and range-extended vehicles bridge the gap, allowing early adopters the fun and frugality of tapping a much cheaper energy source — especially if you plug in at work — and without having to put the CAA on speed dial.

$ The Vaughan, Ont., R.Ferri Motorsport Ferrari team won the Grand-AM Rolex Sports Car Series in Indianapolis on July 26.

Canadian team scores year’s ﬁrst Ferrari victory The No. 61 R.Ferri Motorsport Racing with Ferrari Canadian team scored its first victory and the first of the 2013 season for a Ferrari, in the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series. It was won with drivers Jeff Segal and Max Papis on July 26 at the Brickyard Grand Prix on the road course at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The team is based in Vaughan, Ontario. The convincing win, that saw Segal lead the timed three-hour race’s final 13 laps and cross the finish line with a more than 10-second margin of victory, ended a string of disappointments and bad luck that has plagued the first-year R.Ferri Motorsport Ferrari team this year. Ferrari was fast at this

GLOBAL NEWS

Scientists show monogamy isn’t all we think it is

CIENCE WRITER MATT RIDLEY ONCE described the human mating system as “monogamy plagued by adultery,” which sounds a little judgmental. Perhaps we should just agree we are an imperfectly pairbonding species. Quite imperfectly — I am on my second marriage and so is my wife — but the point is we do form pairs: 89 per cent of the world’s people get married before the age of 49. Elsewhere in the animal world, monogamy is definitely a minority taste. Only three per cent of mammals are monogamous. Even among our closest relatives, the primates, only a quarter of the species form pair bonds. Moreover, the very fragility of the pair bond in human beings suggests it is a behaviour we only adopted recently in our evolutionGWYNNE DYER ary history. So. when did we acquire it — World and why? WATCH There is a new explanation on the table. In a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists argue the main reason why human beings — more precisely, male human beings — became monogamous was to keep their babies from being killed by other men. There are many species where an incoming male will kill a female’s offspring by a previous male to make room for his own. It’s especially common in mammals, where a female remains infertile while she is still producing milk for an existing baby.

Mildred May Battison-Gittus Passed away peacefully at Berwick on the Park on July 30, 2013 at the age of 92. She will be sadly missed by her loving husband of 7 years, Steve Gittus, her sons Larry (Linda) of Norman Oklahoma, Randy(Dianne) of Sun Peaks BC, granddaughters Courtney and Ashley of Purcell and Moore Oklahoma and her sister Helen Harris of Victoria, BC. Mildred was predeceased by her husband Harry Carl Battison on August 19, 2002, after 61 years of marriage, her parents Grace and Fred Wawn, brothers Robert and Charlie Wawn, and sisters Ada Mathisen and Doreen Esselmont. She was born on February 3, 1921 at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. Mildred spent many joyful hours with family and friends at their cottage on Shuswap Lake. Mildred and Harry purchased the lake land in 1955 and they lived in a tent on weekends with their two boys while they constructed their cottage. They retired to that home for several years and spent the winters in Hawaii. Later on they moved back to Kamloops. Mildred was an avid bridge player and enjoyed playing and competing with her friends. She and her husband Steve traveled the world on cruises, taking in the sights in between bridge games. Special thanks to the nurses and staff at Berwick on the Park for their compassionate care. Mildred and her husband Steve lived at Berwick on the Park for the last two years. A service will be held at Saint Pauls Anglican Cathedral, 4th Ave and Nicola Street Kamloops on Thursday August 22nd at 11:00 followed by a luncheon. A private family interment service will follow at Hillside Cemetery. Service arrangements are entrusted to Schoening Funeral Service 250.374.1454

The new male is in a hurry to get on with fathering the bearers of his own genes and, if he kills her existing offspring she will become fertile again. Infanticide is ugly, but unfortunately it makes sense as a male reproductive strategy. So, it also makes sense for the father of the existing children to stick around and protect them. This was the hypothesis of the scientists from University College London and Oxford, Manchester and Auckland Universities who published the article in Proceedings. “You do not get monogamy unless you already have infanticide, and you do not get a switch to paternal care [by male] if you don’t already have monogamy,” wrote Christopher Opie of UCL. This flies in the face of the previously dominant explanation, which was based on the remarkably long childhood of human offspring. As our brains got bigger and the amount of cultural learning that had to be imparted to children grew greater, the portion of their lives they spent as dependent children grew longer. Male help was needed to raise them successfully. Given the relatively short lifespans of hunter-gatherers, human children ended up as dependents for about a third of their lives. Most mammals depend on their mothers to feed, each and protect them for less than a tenth of their lives, so human mothers had to cope with a far greater burden than that of most other species (including most other primate species). In the conventional wisdom, that was why human beings became (imperfectly) monogamous. Couples who stayed together could provide far more support for the children than ones who had only a mother to care for them so more of the children of those unions would survive to pass on their genes to the next generation. True enough, but why would the males commit in the first place? They were unlikely to be able make that kind of statistical

calculation and the normal male reproductive strategy in mammals is to impregnate as many females as possible and leave the mothers to raise the children. Maybe they just stayed with the females to keep their children from being killed by other males. So, the researchers decided to test the rival hypotheses: Did males commit to monogamy to prevent infanticide or to ease the burden on females and thus improve the children’s survival chances in a different way? The cynics among you will already know the answer to this, but scientists actually have to prove things. What they did was to take a family tree of 230 mammals, including most of the primate species and put in the details of their mating behaviour, rates of infanticide, and amount of paternal care (i.e. monogamy). Then, they simulated the evolution of those species over a period of 75-million years, running the programme millions of times to see how monogamy rose or fell for each species under different circumstances. The conclusion was clear: Among primates, monogamy was always preceded by one thing and one thing only — infanticide by males. Once you have monogamy, there is usually a rise in the male commitment to caring for the offspring as well, but infanticide has to come first. It’s not exactly romantic, but evolution isn’t. So, here we are, living in couples and raising our offspring together as if we were birds — 90 percent of birds are monogamous. It doesn’t really matter how we got here, but it’s definitely a better place to be. In the end, we even figured out how to love each other. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries. gwynnedyer.com

Her Journey’s Just Begun Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much. E. Bre renn nnem eman an
