Veterans, McLeod at odds By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
S
KTW file photo
In April 1917, just before Canadian soldiers fought in the Battle of Vimy Ridge, then-Prime Minister Robert Borden said to his troops: “You can go into this action feeling assured of this and, as the head of the government, I give you this assurance, that you need not fear that the government and the country will fail to show just appreciation of your service to the country and Empire in what you are about to do and what you have already done. The government and the country will consider it their first duty to see that a proper appreciation of your effort and of your courage is brought to the notice of people at home that no man, whether he goes back or whether he remains in Flanders, will have just cause to reproach the government for having broken faith with the men who won and the men who died.”
COTT CASEY WANTS to know why MP Cathy McLeod attends Remembrance Day ceremonies in Kamloops. Paul Lagace wants to know why senators and members of parliament receive better pensions than veterans. Both — and many other veterans — want to know why the federal government treats them as it would an office worker injured at work. And, they want to know why Prime Minister Stephen Harper is not living up to a promise made to the nation’s armed forces by Robert Borden, the prime minister in 1917, when he told them their government would always look after them. The two were contacted by KTW to comment on a letter to the editor sent by Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Cathy McLeod addressing what she referred to as false claims being made about the benefits disabled veterans receive. In it, McLeod said inaccurate information has been publicized, saying veterans receive “more than a single lump-sum payment when
a debilitating injury is suffered, as has been popularized in recent months. She identified the lump sum as a payment from Veterans Affairs Canada and the Service Income Security Insurance Program (SISIP) that can provide up to $548,000 in a tax-free payment. Lagace took issue with that statement, calling it misleading because SISIP is an insurance program veterans must apply for and pay benefits for coverage — “and there is no guarantee you’ll get it,” he said. “It’s like any insurance policy.” McLeod continued in her letter, which can be read online at kamloopsthisweek.com, to say disabled veterans covered under a charter established in 2011, can receive up to $5,400 a month, depending on the severity of their injury, which can continue past age 65. Casey is aware of this benefit. A veteran of the UN peacekeeping force that went to Sarajevo in the 1990s, he applied for benefits in 2008. He said he would have applied for it sooner, since he was injured while fighting to keep peace in Sarajevo. X See ‘IF I DIDN’T’ A12
Ottawa does care, MP says Cathy McLeod said she is sad to hear veterans in Kamloops have issues with her government. The Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP said of the Stephen Harper-led government that “not only do we care, we certainly put more time, energy and effort into our soldiers than has happened before.” She said a review done by a multiparty committee during the time Harper led a minority government looked at how various countries provided for their veterans “and Canada was definitely favourable compared to others.” McLeod noted that, as of March this year, 2,491 veterans and 7,047 of their survivors have received the $5,400 per month maximum from Veterans Affairs Canada for disabilities, while others receive less based on the severity of their injuries. The MP pointed to comments Julian Fantino, the federal minister of veteran affairs, has made noting that, while there are still gaps in services provided to veterans, “a majority of Canada’s veterans receive the support and care that they need.” Fantino’s comments continued to note the government’s approach is to not “simply throw money at a problem or a person.

Mounties aim to educate drivers about speed, tires By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
Police were out in full force on Tod Mountain Road on Friday, Nov. 8, but it wasn’t in response to a crime. It wasn’t a speed-trap, either. Officers from the RCMP’s Kamloops-based Central Interior Integrated Road Safety Unit, alongside Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement officials, were set up in Heffley Creek to inform drivers about the changing driving conditions. “Today’s an education day,” said RCMP Const. Darren King. “Our primary focus today is educating the motoring public about speed relative to conditions — they need to slow down and keep their distance. King said officers are also encouraging people travelling at elevation to do so with approved snow tires. “Mud and snow tires are an acceptable tire,” he said. “However, the RCMP are still recommending that, if you’re entering
extreme weather conditions or mountain passes, you should have the mountain peak and snowflake on your CONST. DARREN KING: tire.” Winter is coming. Ingrid Brakop, ICBC’s local road-safety co-ordinator, was also on hand in Heffley, supplying officers with pamphlets to hand out to drivers. “This is not a speed trap,” she said. “This is about awareness.” According to ICBC, 115 people are killed each year in B.C. due to speed-related crashes — including driving too fast for winter conditions. Brakop said ICBC will remain part of the awareness campaign until December, when its campaign against impaired-driving begins.
SPEEDING WILL COST YOU In addition to the obvious plethora of safety risks associated with speeding — especially as cool weather sets in — there’s a financial benefit to driving safe as well. Speeding tickets are very expensive. On highways, if you’re caught going up to 20 km/h over the posted speed limit, you’re subject to a $138 fine. Between 21 km/h and 40
km/h over, that number jumps to $196. And, if you’re going faster than that, things get really pricey. If a cop catches you going between 41 km/h and 60 km/h over the posted limit, you’re on the hook for $368. More than 60 km/h over? That’ll be $483, please. Oh, and you’ll probably have to pay to get your car out of impound, too.
RCMP Const. Paul Koester, with the Central Interior Integrated Road Safety Unit, was one of a handful of officers conducting educational traffic stops on Tod Mountain Road on Friday, Nov. 7. The aim was to inform drivers about the changing road conditions and the need to slow down, leave space and have proper tires. Dave Eagles/KTW

Congratulations on your TH 60 Anniversary
Don’t believe everything you read on parking receipts Despite what the paper says, drivers won’t have to display their receipts from the city’s new parking meters on their dashboards. At a launch for the new parking program on Friday, Nov. 8, community safety manager Jon Wilson said receipt paper supplied by pay station contractor Precise Parklink contains instructions that aren’t actually correct for the city’s system. The city will eventually have special, Kamloops-specific paper for the machines that does away with the incorrect information.
The machines, which go live on Nov. 12, take both coins and credit cards and offer up to three hours of paid parking at a go. They also hike the rate for an hour of parking to $1, up from 50 cents. They’ll roll out on Victoria, Lansdowne and Seymour streets first. Wilson said the pay stations will turn off when paid parking hours downtown end, but will turn on at 7 a.m., allowing people to pay for parking at 9 a.m., when metering comes into effect, in advance.

Aberdeen Community Association claims Ajax refuses to meet By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
The city’s anti-Ajax mine groups could soon have another among their ranks — the Aberdeen Community Association (ACA). Association member John Schleiermacher said several members of the ACA’s executive and membership are trying to “rejuvenate” the association with a new executive and a focus on the open-pit copper and gold mine proposed to be developed south of their neighbourhood. “There is a real need to have a voice from Aberdeen because, as you can imagine, we’re going to take a lot more risk than the rest of the community,” Schleiermacher said. “Unfortunately, a lot of the membership and executive went their own paths as to how to deal with Ajax, so it’s time to rejuvenate the group and get a strong voice.” He estimates about half of the
ACA’s executive is involved in other mine-opposing groups, such as Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment and the Kamloops Area Preservation Association — for which Schleiermacher is a spokesman. ACA members are in the process of speaking to others in the neighbourhood with an eye to coming up with a new executive made up of people who aren’t already busy with one of the other groups. Schleiermacher said the group can represent the neighbourhood’s interests to proponent KGHM Ajax — and can also take a tougher line with the city about the mine. “The city needs to answer some questions to Aberdeen as far as how are they going to deal with some of these issues,” he said. The community association last met in the spring of 2012, when Schleiermacher said more than 100 people showed up for

a “heated discussion” about the mine. At the time, no further action was taken. But, when KGHM started sending letters to homeowners in Aberdeen this fall, encouraging them to attend small, informal meetings set up specifically for residents near the mine site, the group decided it wanted to host its own
Ajax meeting. Schleiermacher said the ACA extended an invitation to KGHM Ajax to present at a special meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 6, but was turned down. “They wanted to do their own session, a sort of closed session,” he said. KGHM spokeswoman Robin Bartlett argues the company

didn’t turn down meetings with Aberdeen residents, noting the company prefers to not hold another large, formal meeting at this time. “We’ve already had opportunities to meet in large groups. Now we’re meeting in small,” she said. “We extended that invitation to them, to meet in as many small groups as
we need to.” Schleiermacher said many people are skeptical of the small sessions the company is proposing, but he thinks the company’s decision not to attend ACA’s meeting works in the association’s favour in the long run. “I think it was the seed we needed to get this association rejuvenated,” he said.

Pipeline expansion could pump up local economy By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
An expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline could create up to 900 jobs in the Kamloops area in the summers of 2016 and 2017, according to Kinder Morgan’s president, Ian Anderson. Anderson, who is travelling across B.C. speaking about the economic benefits of his company’s $5.4-billion pipeline twinning plan, told members of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce on Friday, Nov. 8 the project will bring major dollars to the city. The expansion project, if it’s granted federal approval, would add a second pipe to much of the existing Trans Mountain line between the Alberta oil fields and Burnaby. The extra line would nearly triple the number of barrels of gas, diesel and heavier oil products run through the pipeline daily, from about 300,000 to 890,000. Kinder Morgan plans to submit an application for review to the National Energy Board in December. If it’s successful, Anderson said construction on the new line could begin in 2016. The company plans to use Kamloops as a construction hub for the interior portion of the project, Anderson said, and the area is also home to three pump stations needed for the
expanded line — each of which costs about $30 million to build. While most of the jobs in the area would last no more than the two-year length of the construction phase, with peak employment each summer, Anderson said about one-quarter of the 50 permanent jobs created by the expansion would likely come to Kamloops. During the construction phase, Anderson said Kinder Morgan will spend approximately $43 million on workers in the Kamloops area. Based on the company’s experiences in the Jasper and Valemount area, where it upgraded the line in 2008, Anderson said that could translate into about $16 million more spent on rent in the city and another $9 million on meals. But, he said, the
city’s existing workforce can’t support the pipeline’s demands. While the company is in talks with Thompson Rivers University to expand its trade programs, Anderson said as much as $39 million of Kinder Morgan’s local labour budget will have to go to people who don’t live in the city now. Local workers will still play an important role in the project, he said, because other pipeline construction projects, such as Enbridge’s Northern Gateway line or the Keystone XL, will be competing for the same pool of outside labour. “The competition for labour over the next five years is going to be intense,” Anderson said. “So, we’ve got to be the best at harvesting and interesting and getting the local labour forces marshalled

around us.” Construction costs are also expected to be substantial, including around $5 million for gravel and sand and $600,000 just for road signs cautioning drivers about the project. Anderson said the company is committed to sourcing locally, as well as working with First Nations companies whenever possible. Long term, Anderson said the project will bring in more than a million dollar of extra property taxes for the city of Kamloops. Once Kinder Morgan files an application for review on its expansion, the National Energy Board is expected to take 15 to 18 months to make a decision on the project. Anderson said he expects to know if the company is successful by the second quarter of 2015.

The richest of the rich can be found on the ballot sheets
T
HE MEDIAN individual annual income in Canada is $27,600. Median differs from average in that the same number of Canadians make more than $27,600 as those who make less than $27,600 per year. By comparison, the average individual annual income in Canada is $38,700 — a figure arrived at when one adds up all annual incomes and divides by the number of workers. The richest 10 per cent of individuals in Canada make more than $80,400, while the extremely wealthy in Canada — the fabled one per cent — earn more than $191,100 per year. These are all figures gleaned from Statistics Canada’s National Household Survey, the national questionnaire that replaced the long-form census in 2011. Whether one clings to the average annual salary of $38,700 or embraces the median annual salary of $27,600, the two figures are fit for a pauper when held aloft and positioned next to the incomes of our politicians. Take our senators. Rarely has the so-called chamber of sober second thought shone so brightly in the spotlight as it has this fall with the pathetic details of the rich — Patrick Brazeau, Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin — proving unbridled greed only spawns thieves of the public purse. Senators are handed a job for life — with no experience or specific talent required — for which they are paid $135,200 a year. Based on Statistics Canada, that puts our senators in the “rich” category, in which they earn about four times that of the median Canadian. Of course, that is only the Senate salary which, according to very illuminating story in the weekend Globe
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom
MUSINGS and Mail, is routinely augmented by obscene amounts of income garnered from sitting on various boards. Take Wallin, the disgraced former journalist who chose to pad her wealth by ripping off taxpayers by billing them for corporate travel — this despite the fact Wallin’s $135,200 Senate salary was topped up by a million dollars she received in pay and stock options for sitting on three corporate boards. So, Wallin, who is already “rich” by dint of her $135,200 Senate salary, also takes in a grotesque amount of money via her board sitting — and still cannot resist stiffing taxpayers, such as on Nov. 5, 2009, when she called in sick to Senate duties, yet was well enough to attend a corporate board meeting, according to the Globe and Mail report. Take this quote from Sen. David Tkachuk in that same story. “Now, it seems the Senate is a fulltime job.” At $135,200 a year, one would hope so. Let us also consider MP salaries compared to the median or average income of a Canadian. Our MPs are paid extremely well — $160,200, which makes our 308 federal politicians “rich” according to Stats Canada. They are also afforded myriad perks
and benefits that should make jaws drop from coast to coast to coast. Did you know you the taxpayer helped foot the $2.7-million bill last year so MPs could fly their “designated traveller” (usually a spouse) to and from Ottawa on your dime? Did you know KamloopsThompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod was in 2012 the 12thhighest biller among our 308 MPs, billing $31,808.45 to have a family member accompany her on airlines to and fro, according to MP disclosure documents? Add that $31,808.45 to McLeod’s $160,200 salary and top it off with the additional $16,000 she receives for being parliamentary secretary to the minister of labour and for Western Economic Diversification and it is safe to say our MP is firmly in the rarefied air of Canada’s one per cent — the “extremely wealthy.” Should we, the taxpayers, be paying to fly spouses and family members of MPs to and from Ottawa? When politicians claim they could make more in the private sector and that serving in Ottawa or Victoria constitutes a sacrifice, such numbers presented in the Senate or House of Commons or provincial legislature make one wonder. Let us also consider the fully indexed pensions these MPs get after just six years in office and compare the largesse to the clawbacks imposed upon military veterans, whose pensions can pale in comparison to those enjoyed by retired members of Parliament. Such discrepancy suggests facing an imposing reporter’s notebook in Ottawa is worth more than facing a Taliban sniper’s bullet in Kandahar. It would be funny if it was not so damn pathetic.
One of the themes often heard at this time of year is gratitude towards veterans of past conflicts. Many people say, quite sincerely, that soldiers fought and many died to preserve our freedoms and our way of life. And it’s true — they did. Anyone who doubts that should take a close look at the plans that Adolf Hitler had, if Germany had won the Second World War. Yet, as the Second World War grows distant, it seems more of the bureaucrats we have allowed to oversee our lives forget about basic concepts such as fairness and making sensible decisions. Instead, they rely on evercomplicated rules, often created by other bureaucracies without any consultation, as an good excuse to do nothing. An excellent example of this is an incident involving the Langley Township fire department, which has in the past 10 years grown to consume much more of the local municipal budget. Scores of firefighters have been hired to replace volunteers because of the growth of the community. A Langley woman called 911 more than a year ago because she had dropped a thermometer containing a very small amount of mercury. The fire department responded — and did nothing. Chief Stephen Gamble says Worksafe BC rules won’t allow firefighters to clean up a tiny bit of mercury. Instead, they call a private firm in such situations — which billed the woman close to $2,000. After negotiation with the fire department, the bill was reduced to $850. That’s ridiculous. The questions raised by this non-response are this — why would anyone call 911 in a non-life threatening situation if this is the end result? Why did the fire department not advise the woman to do what the Ministry of Environment suggests — clean it up herself and place the mercury in a sealed container?

Premier’s policies promote poverty and despair
Speak up You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com
A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online
Re: Story: Association claims Ajax rebuff: “The small group sessions offer everyone who wants to meet with KGHM International — especially those who live in Aberdeen — the chance to do so in an environment that encourages conversation about the Ajax project. “Contact us at our office at 250-374-5446, to arrange a session for up to 20 people.” — posted by Robert Koopmans KGHM International
Re: In response to KTW’s web poll: Would you like to see the Canadian Senate abolished?: “The Senate needs to be abolished. Enough is enough. There is too much waste. “We have worked very hard for our pensions, which are low compared to today’s cost of living. “How can we stay healthy when groceries are so costly? “Time for a shake-up and for people to start telling the truth, which I believe is missing in this day and age.” — posted by Doreen Merritt
Editor: “It could lift many people out of poverty forever.” Premier Christy Clark made that statement during a recent visit to Kamloops, where she attended a pro-Liberal gathering . Clark was, of course, referring to the controversial proposed Ajax mine project. Her declaration is a fallacy. But, I will get to that in a moment. Let’s begin with her posturing over the “wait and see” approach to the environmental review currently underway over said mine
project on the edge of our town. Anyone who follows even casually the political discourse in this province knows Clark is not interested in due process and making informed decisions. She is calling on others and making pretty speculative comments while most of her economic platform is based on just that — speculations. Liquid natural-gas and other resourcebased projects do carry considerable health and environmental risks, but they also carry considerable economic risks. A large portion of
Is Premier Christy Clark interested in due process? KTW reader Pierre Filisetti doesn’t think so.
our economic wellbeing dependent upon international market conditions and foreign investment is not only speculative in nature, but outright dim-witted. Clark’s statements could have not been clearer, not insomuch about due process — which she can overrule if not to her liking
— but with respect to her lack of care on the cause and effect her government policies have on the entire province’s well-being. This brings me back to the first paragraph of this letter. Clark’s government’s policies are arguably the central cause of much despair and poverty.
To confirm this, a person needs only to read the reports of Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, B.C.’s representative for children and youth. Regarding Ajax, B.C.’s chief medical officer, Dr. Perry Kendall, was quoted as saying, “We have the ability to look at it [EAO process] under the Public Health Act. I think I’d need additional resources because my office is quite small.” Additional resources for photo-ops with our premier, perhaps. Pierre Filisetti Kamloops
versation with those at the KGHM Ajax office, I was told Kamloops is an industry town with the Domtar pulp mill and New Afton Mine in close proximity. Ajax, I was told, would simply be following what is already here. Let me try to follow this reasoning. So, this means that, once there is pollution, it is fine to add more pollution. Really? I thought we were promoting Kamloops as Canada’s Tournament Capital, a Communities in Bloom city and the home of Thompson Rivers University. Clearly, proponents of Ajax need to find a location that will not impact our fair city and our highway to Vancouver. Johanna Walters Kamloops

It’s all about the location Editor: A few days ago, I visited the KGHM Ajax office on Seymour Street to ask a question: What plans does Ajax have to move ore product to Vancouver? I was told approximately 14 ore trucks per day would be used. These would be in addition to the eight to 10 New Afton Mine trucks already using the Coquihalla Highway. If the Ajax mine is approved, there could be approximately 23 full ore trucks going down to Vancouver every day — and the same number returning empty every day. One has to wonder what this would do to the highway, which, I doubt, was designed for this kind of usage. One has to wonder how this would affect traffic conditions, especially in winter weather.

Go forth and tell the world Science educators urged to get out of the labs and talk By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Universities need to take a hard look on what they value. So says Thomas Duck, one of the scientists behind the piece of equipment NASA is using to measure weather on Mars. Duck, speaking at Thompson Rivers University last week, said universities need to reduce their emphasis on the need for faculty to publish and start to incorporate the simple act of “getting out into the public and talking to them.” That means reassessing what the institutions consider as workrelated requirements, Duck said, noting that, as an outspoken physicist travelling the country to speak out on federal-government actions that affect other scientists, his employers at Dalhousie University have noted none of it is helping his career progression. “We need to reimagine universities,” he said. “Our mission is education, but education of whom? Do we have a larger responsibility to the population at large?” Duck was in Kamloops in support of the Canadian Association of University Teachers’ campaign Get Science Right. It is using events and materials to draw attention to its concerns about federalgovernment policies and funding decisions it says are shifting money from basic research, defunding “politically inconvenient” science and research, stacking grant-awarding councils, changing funding priorities, muzzling scientists and shutting down needed scientific bodies. Duck spoke of one example that has special significance for him — the ozone-science group that, among its accom-
plishments, invented the UV index used to gauge ultraviolet rays and another tool for measuring the thickness of the planet’s ozone layer. He has worked with the group at its station at Eureka, located in Nunavut and just 800 kilometres south of the North Pole. Among the work done there was the discovery of the first ozone hole in the Arctic region, Duck said as he displayed two slides. One, taken in 2010, “shows a lot of ozone there, which is what you want to see,” Duck said. “Now, look at this one taken in 2011 at about the same time and, see that big blue hole there? That is the first time anyone saw an ozone hole in the Arctic.” The discovery was
Duck, who condemned the federal government’s support of oil-sand projects as “uncontrolled experiments,” spoke of other groups and bodies of scientists whose work was cancelled since Stephen Harper became prime minister. Duck reviewed decreased funding for research, talked abut scientists who have been told they cannot talk to the media or the public about their work and deplored a statement by the former minister for science and technology, Gary Goodyear, who said last year the National Research Council should become a concierge service that works for business. In the end, however, Duck told those in the audience who work at

sent to the federal government and scientists wrote about it in Nature magazine, the premiere publication for research. “And do you know what happened?” Duck said. “A few months later, the group was cancelled.” Before that happened, Duck said, the scientists were forbidden to speak to the media about their discovery.

TRU they need to get out of their labs and classrooms and tell people why pure science and research matters. Universities need to give a value to public engagement by their faculties, he said, “so people can do this without endangering their jobs.” As for why he does it, Duck’s answer was succinct. “I’m reckless. I just do it. Dalhousie is not preventing me. It says ‘We applaud you for this, but this [teaching] is your job. “But, I’m doing this for my kids and for the world they will grow up in.”

r e y l F Youth has already served sentence for arson that killed family dog Hot
Anti-terrorism unit targets Kamloops teen By Tim Petruk
STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops teen who last year broke into and set fire to a North Kamloops home, killing a family’s dog, is now apparently the target of an RCMP anti-terrorism unit. Sixteen-year-old Tristan Fernandez was the subject of a Crown application on Thursday, Nov. 7, to tighten his
probation conditions. Prosecutor Chris Balison said the Crown is seeking more stringent probation terms based on recommendations from the RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team, which searched Fernandez’s home. The date and reason of the search have not yet been made public. In October 2012, Fernandez was sentenced to one year behind bars and a
three-year probation term after pleading guilty to arson and break-and-enter charges stemming from the April 12, 2012, fire at a home on Clearwater Avenue. He was sentenced as an adult. Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleavely said he needs more information before making a decision on the Crown’s application. The Crown is slated to present evidence during a hearing on Dec. 2.

COVER PAGE STORY
‘If I didn’t have a job, I would not be in a house’ X From A1
But, he was never told about his options for benefits after he was discharged from the services. “Nobody told me I was a veteran,” he said. “I was a kid. I was just a regular guy. I was just a peacekeeper. Nobody told me.” He has since written a book, In the Devil’s Courthouse, about his time in the country. In 2008, he contacted veteran affairs to get help and was told he could start a claim. The first document he received, Casey said, was about 90 per cent government legal obligations and disclaimers, without about two inches of space at the bottom for him to itemize his issues. He filled it out and was told he would have about a six-week wait for a reply. During that time, the federal government
MORE OF MCLEOD’S RESPONSE PAGE A14 cut staffing in veterans affairs, the Penticton office was closed “and it’s now 12 weeks. And then it was 16 weeks,” he said. Casey was told to see his doctor to ensure he met the criteria for coverage. It took two weeks to get in and another couple of weeks for the additional paperwork to be submitted by the doctor. “So, now we’re at 20 weeks. And remember, you can be denied if you don’t meet the criteria.” He was denied on all medical issues except post-traumatic stress disorder he said. The wait led him to develop a mantra about how he was being treated: “Delay, deny, hope you die.” Each denial had the same message, Casey said: “It is our duty to
inform you you have been denied but we thank you for your service.” Eventually, after many appeals — each ailment was viewed as a separate claim — he was approved. Lagace’s situation was different. He never had trouble getting help, he said, and veterans affairs would check in on him to see how he was doing. Lagace spent 20 years in the armed forces, retiring in 1994. Stationed in North Bay, Ont., at the time, he said the medical officer there helped him file for three health issues that were service-related. His file followed him when he moved to Kamloops and, he said, Veterans Affairs advisors were quick to respond to his questions and concerns.
What angers him, he said, is the way veterans’ pensions are structured and the reality he discovered that “the compensation does not allow you to survive on it.” After 20 years, his pension was just 40 per cent of what he had been making in the service, Lagace said. He said he was lucky he was able to work. “If I didn’t have a job, I would not be in a house. “I would be in poverty because my pension would not cover what it costs to live.” “Not one veteran is able to get out of the service, even after 35 years — unless they are a senior officer — and survive on their pension.” As for Casey’s wonderment about McLeod attending Remembrance Day services, he explained he would prefer to see her appear as a civilian rather than
as a representative of a government he believes has done some good things — it no longer
sends 19-year-olds into war with 21-year-old guns — but which no longer supports
Borden’s promise to keep the country’s “sacred obligation” to its veterans.

“We are focused on providing the best support and care for veterans and their families that does not include a monthly pension cheque but a variety of benefits and services designed for wellness and rehabilitation,” Casey said. McLeod said her letter to the editor (which can be found online at kamloopsthisweek.com) was not designed to accuse “Kamloops vets of making false claims” but to address critics “who have been putting out misinformation about the benefits disabled veterans receive.” For example, her letter describes a hypothetical 24-year-old soldier who leaves the forces for medical reason and who will receive $2 million by the time he is 65. To complaints that amount isn’t enough for an injured veteran to survive on, McLeod said the veteran would have other programs available to apply for, including “snow clearing, yard work, home cleaning, medical support, rehabilitation or the allowance for education, retraining, career council” to a maximum of $75,800, an amount that could be used by the veteran’s spouse if the veteran’s disability precludes retraining.

Have you seen Samantha? By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The mother of a Kamloops woman who has been missing for nearly two months has made a tearful plea for any information about her daughter’s whereabouts. “We need to know my daughter is OK and she is safe,” Shirley Paul told reporters during a press conference on Thursday, Nov. 7, at the Kamloops RCMP’s Battle Street detachment. “We need your help. Please, if any-
body knows about Samantha’s whereabouts, help me find my daughter.” Samantha Paul, 26, was last seen on Sept. 19, though she had originally been reported missing 10 days earlier. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said an acquaintance was able to verify contact with Paul on Sept. 19, so that is now the day on which she was officially last contacted. “This is out of character for Samantha,” said her mother, who travelled to Kamloops from her
home in Alberta. “We want her to know that we love her. Phone and let us know that you’re OK or just come home.” Bush said described Paul’s lifestyle as “vulnerable.” The investigation is now in the hands of the Kamloops RCMP’s seriouscrimes section, which is receiving help on the file from the force’s E-Division major crimes and tech crimes. Bush cautioned against reading too much into who is handling the
investigation. “Missing persons files are looked at by protocol,” she said. “We involve the support of our other units. In the case of tech crimes, we monitor social media.” Paul is a 26-yearold native woman who stands five-footeight and weighs 150 pounds. She has long black hair and brown eyes.

Reports of the demise of the Agricultural Land Commission are not true, according to Energy Minister Bill Bennett. Boaz Jopseh/Black Press

Minister rejects ALC report By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS tfletcher@kamloopsthisweek.com
News reports suggesting the B.C. government is considering dismantling the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) are not accurate, according to the minister in charge of the government’s core review. A plan outlined in documents leaked to the Globe and Mail is “so secret that I don’t even know about it myself,” Energy Minister Bill Bennett said in an interview. “We’re not even considering blowing up the ALC or bringing it inside government.” Bennett said agricultural land commissioners will continue to decide on applications to amend the land reserve, established 40 years ago to protect farmland from development. Bennett refused to comment on the suggestion that the province could be divided into two zones with different processes. But, he said he is aware of many cases outside the southwestern part of B.C. where obviously unfarmable land remains locked in the reserve. Part of the problem has been a lack of funding to the commission, Bennett said. The current budget adds $4 million to the commission’s budget over three years. “It’s not all their fault. It’s the way the legislation is written. It’s the way their policies have
developed,” Bennett said. “All of those things add up to a lot of questionable decisions being made — and certainly not in areas where they have good agricultural land, like Richmond and south Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley and the Okanagan.” Bennett also rejected the suggestion that the Oil and Gas Commission would overrule the ALC on decisions in B.C.’s northeast. The commission already has some authority on land use and its role in the review is
“tiny,” he said. NDP Leader Adrian Dix accused the government of hiding its intentions before the May election. “After commending two separate reviews that called for the ALC to be strengthened before the election, the Liberals are now conspiring to undermine it,” Dix said. Metro Vancouver mayors, facing the most pressure to expand development, expressed alarm. “Certainly it’s disturbing if they’re throwing it out the window,” Pitt
Meadows Mayor Deb Walters said. She said some Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) boundaries need adjustment but, beyond that, her main concerns are that the commission has been underfunded to do its job and that more effort is needed to help support the viability of farming. “It has problems, but it has its place,” Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said of the ALR. “It protects us from ourselves.”

OTH TRU WolfPack soccer squads returned to Kamloops with medals, but neither team is thrilled with their colour. TRU’s men won silver at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association championship in St. John, N.B., while the Pack women claimed bronze at nationals in Surrey. “This is very disappointing after the season we had,” WolfPack co-head coach Sean Wallace said after his team fell 2-0 to the Humber College Hawks of Toronto in the gold-medal match on Saturday, Nov. 9. “The guys were playing well. We didn’t win the silver. It was more that we lost the gold. I feel bad for the guys. “They worked so hard all season to get this chance.” TRU’s women earned a 2-0 victory over the Algonquin Thunder on Saturday to claim bronze. Courtney Daly of Kamloops scored both of the WolfPack’s goals. “The last few years we’ve been in this match and come up short, so this year we were a little disappointed we didn’t get the gold medal, but I’ll take this one,” WolfPack goalkeeper

Emily Edmundson said. “It was a good game and it’s a good feeling, for sure.” TRU’s men blanked the Mount Saint Vincent University Mystics of Halifax 3-0 in the quarter-finals and edged the MacEwan University Griffins of Edmonton 2-1 to advance to the championship match. The WolfPack women lost their opening match 1-0 to the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology Ooks, meaning they were out of the goldmedal hunt. TRU bounced back with a 5-0 win over Kwantlen, then fifth-year striker Alanna Bekkering notched a hat-trick in the Pack’s 4-1 win over the Ahuntsic Indiennes of Montreal. WolfPack women’s head coach Tom McManus said his team showed great resiliency in rebounding from a disheartening loss in the opening round. The Pack’s bench boss was especially

proud of his team’s effort in the bronzemedal match. “I thought Algonquin came out and played a great game against us. That’s one of the best teams we’ve played all year long,” McManus said. Bekkering was named a tournament all-star on the women’s side. Oriol Torres and Kyle Logan were named to the all-star team on the men’s side. Both TRU soccer teams are making the jump to the Canadian Interuniversity Sports ranks next season. Bekkering, Laura Smylie and Vanessa Zilkie are the graduating women’s players. Seb Gardner is the lone graduating player on the men’s side. “To make it to nationals and come away with a silver, I am proud for the guys,” Wallace said.

Flex is a bold but practical people carrier By Neil Moore METROLAND MEDIA wheelstalk.com
It’s hard not to have an opinion on the big and blocky Ford Flex. Somewhere between wagon and SUV, this “packing crate on wheels” has earned its share of admirers and its critics. I’d count myself among the former, not just for the vehicle’s bold yet polarizing in-your-face styling, but because it’s roomy and practical. The Flex is sized somewhere between a mid- and full-size SUV but rides substantially lower, giving it a more car-like demeanour. And on the inside, the Flex scores even higher marks, particularly in top trim. The passenger cabin in my AWD Limited tester was on par with many I’ve driven in the premium segment, and it helped win over my wife, who until now hasn’t been a fan of the cube. The Flex comes in three trim levels, two of which offer allwheel-drive: SE FWD (starting at $30,499), SEL FWD ($37,099), SEL AWD ($39,099) and Limited AWD ($44,399). Standard engine for all models is a 3.5-litre Ti-VCT V6 engine

ing wheel with cruise, audio and MyFord controls; capless fuel filler, fog lamps and 17-inch painted aluminum wheels. The base model even includes SYNC MyFord voice-activated infotainment. It’s not particularly intuitive, and requires time either fiddling with the features or browsing the user’s manual, but your efforts are rewarded with loads of functionality. Seats are upholstered in cloth, with wide, cushy buckets up front, and a 60/40 split fold-flat bench in the second row with autofold on the 40 section. This provides easy access to the third row. The middle row has limo-like legroom, allowing you to keep these seats full forward to increase room in back. The 50/50 third-row bench can seat two adults in comfort, although padding is thinner so they’ll fold flat into the rear well. Seats drop manually on all models, although power is available — more on that later. My tester, like most press vehicles, was a few rungs up the pricing ladder. This AWD Limited with 3.5-litre Ecoboost may have started at $48,299, but was optioned up much higher.

AUTO MARKET The Flex AWD Limited offers an upscale passenger cabin that includes leather, woodgrain, chrome and other high-end finishes. Controls are either via an available 8-inch touchscreen or a touch-sensitive flat panel.
CONGRATULATIONS! Kamloops Dodge Chrysler Jeep is pleased to announce
All Flex models full of goodies and gadgets X From A23
Let’s start with the base Limited, if you can call it that, which comes chock-a-block with amenities and creature comforts. These include dualzone climate control; leather trimmed seating in first and second rows with heating up front and 10-way power adjust for the driver (six-way for front passenger); push-button start with remote; power adjustable pedals with memory; 10-speaker Sony audio; and the addition of an eightinch touchscreen to the two 4.2-inchers for operating the MyTouch infotainment system. Also part of the package is 19-inch wheels, power liftgate, rain-sensing wipers, review camera and blind-spot information system with cross-traffic alert. The latter features are a plus while maneuvering something this big on city streets and in busy parking lots. Materials and trim have been upgraded in the Limited. I’ve mentioned the leather and woodgrain, but also appreciate the ambient lighting in front cupholders, both consoles, and in the front footwells. And then there’s the exterior bling. Flex’s bold, blocky grille, large tailgate appliqué and funky “FLEX” lettering, front and rear, are all done in eye-catching satin aluminum. But in showcasing everything this vehicle has to offer, Ford’s PR team have added nearly everything from the parts bin like a $1,750 panoramic roof with
four skylights, $250 for rear inflatable seatbelts, $800 voice-activated navigation system and a $2,100 dual-screen rear entertainment system built into the massive headrests. The big-ticket item is ‘Equipment Group 303A. Although priced at $6,800, it adds only $2,900 to my tester, which already includes the twin-turbo V6. This package has power adjustable steering column, adaptive cruise control with collision warning, active park assist — a selfparking feature that works, but I’m still not comfortable relying on, cooling for the front seats and 20-inch polished aluminum wheels. You also get power for the third row. Hit the stow button and one or both seats fold flat. Press ‘fold’ to drop only the seatbacks or ‘tailgate’ to convert them to rear facing – great for picnics or drive-ins. The ‘normal’ button restores everything to an upright position. In the Flex, Ford has delivered flexibility not only in the way it
can be configured for people and cargo, but in the kind of buyer it will attract. There’s a base FWD for the budget conscious consumer who needs a stout but stylish people carrier, AWD models with increasing levels of content, and — although a little less potent than Jeep’s fire-breathing SRT Cherokee — the Limited with 3.5L EcoBoost for buyers like me who want an alternative to the usual hum-drum domestic haulers. Of course, ‘Ecoboost’ is just a label and in my case, an erroneous one. A twin turbo, direct injected V6 that cranks out 365 hp and 350 lb/ft of torque — and will launch the Flex like a sports sedan — isn’t likely to encourage eco-friendly driving. Despite relatively thirsty ratings of 13.2/8.8L/100 km (city/hwy), I managed only about 15.0 litres combined. Can’t say I drove in a way that would score points with Greenpeace, but keep
in mind that a 4,828 lb (2,190 kg) vehicle won’t be winning an Energuide award any time soon. On the plus side, this portly people carrier was fun to drive, as its relatively low centre of gravity made for less lean in the corners and its independent front/ rear suspension along with quick and responsive electric power steering gave it surprisingly nimble handling. And the large dual outlets delivered a nice exhaust note when you leaned hard on the pedal. When you start adding the extras, it isn’t hard to take this vehicle north of $60K. That’ll put it up against luxury competitors like Acura MDX and Lexus GX, which would likely bump a fully dressed Flex off the shortlist if you’re looking for brand cachet. But if you’re not, a two-toned Flex in Deep Impact Blue with silver roof and massive wheels, kind of like my tester, will probably turn more heads.

Walking through history
www.kamloopsthisweek.com X facebook.com/kamloopsthisweek
By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Long-time Kamloops residents know Boris Karloff’s eventually icon acting career had an early stop in the River City. It was 1911 and Karloff had been out in the brush on the coast when he got a call from his agent and, as he told the story once, “he referred me to the Jean Russell stock company in Kamloops. I left my axe in the middle of a tree and got the first train to Kamloops.” And, for $15 a week, Karloff played the elderly husband in The Devil when the cast took it to Nelson. Those same residents likely know the Bard of the Yukon, poet Robert Service, worked in a bank in the city, as well, and could often be seen out playing polo. Local historian Andrew Yarmie said while some people know about stories like these, newcomers don’t — and that’s why he suggested to his fellow members of the Kamloops Heritage Commission something be done about it. The result is a series of plaques that will be either affixed at locations where famous people or structures once existed, or as close as possible. A plaque for Mary Spencer, the woman who took one of the famous photos of train robber Billy Miner will be placed just outside the CBC office on Victoria Street while, a block to the west, one will go up commemorating the opera house that not only entertained audiences with classical music but was also home to boxing. Yarmie, who once taught B.C., local and women’s history at Cariboo College, said research was done at the Kamloops Museum and Archives to write the historical notes on each metal plaque. They also feature photos of the bits of local history being honoured. Andrew Yarmie of the Kamloops Heritage Commission displays a plaque commemorating photographer Mary Spencer, one of several being installed in coming weeks to highlight notable people and structures that have contributed to the history of Kamloops.

Thanks to a decision to not hold an annual awards dinner this year, the commission had the money in its budget for

Scales — who will be honoured with a plaque on the Fuoco Building, where his photography studio once was located — but also had three other photo studios within that short walk. There was once four theatres downtown showing silent films, Yarmie said, and a plaque will go up on Seymour Street where the Empress Theatre once stood. “In the words of Joni Mitchell, it’s a parking lot now,” he said of the site. One will be installed where Chinatown once existed at the west end of Victoria Street. One will be in Riverside Park marking the agricultural hall that used to be there. The goal of the project is to capture the feeling of the day, Yarmie said, and, once they’re up, they will compose a walking tour of the area the city can use in its tourism marketing. This isn’t the only such heritage tour planned, however. Yarmie said the commission will be looking at other areas of the city for similar plaquedriven heritage tours.

Putting pressure on the ‘stache
Under the B.C. Government Loan Guarantee Program Are you looking for financing for grass cattle or replacement heifers to breed?
O
NCE UPON a time I read that women fall for men who resemble their fathers. This phenomenon is called the Oedipus Complex and it’s obviously a child of Sigmund Freud. Once you wrap your head around the uncomfortable connotations of this message, you can start to pick up on its legitimacy. In my case, it’s most obvious in my affinity for moustaches. A couple years ago, in preparation for a blog post on Movember, I conducted a survey amongst my girlfriends — and the results startled me. “Moustaches only look good on dads,” said one of my girlfriends. This was followed by a shocking 8/10 respondents mentioning something about disgust and hatred for
ANDRIA PARKER Anchors and
FREEDOM the moustache. Finally, one friend replied with positivity. “Moustaches are good,” she said. “My dad always had one. I think it’s manly.” Thankfully, this validated me and I cancelled my therapy appointment. My father has always had a moustache. For a long time he had one of those lumberjack beards happening, too, but he shaved it off for my mom back in the ‘90s, leaving only the Burt Reynolds.
If I forget about Freud, I can use the concept of association in this case and feel better about my psychological state. My father is my hero. Is it, then, any surprise I find a man who can’t grow a moustache less of a man? Is it surprising I consider the moustache to be a symbol of integrity, strength and courage? Or that, to me, the moustache represents drive, protection, and comfort — that it is the ultimate flag of a man who will know how to replace your fan belt, rid your apartment of rodents and raise your children? I don’t think so. The way I look at it, November is the one month where men get to act like feminists did in the ‘70s. They get to embody what makes them feel
manly and make a public statement with it — all for a good cause. November is the month men get to be men, naturally, and women get to decide whether they want a real man that can chop wood and satisfy or some baby-faced manchild who will eventually ask to borrow their lavender-scented hand lotion before bed. It’s the most obvious way to weed out the weak. I agree, some men should not grow moustaches. If you cannot grow a moustache, while I commend you for trying, it will not get the reaction you are likely hoping for. Also, if you like to eat a lot of powdered donuts, maybe now is the time to quit one or the other. But, this month, I encourage you to put the razor away and

Parade of lanterns set to light up a new night By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
There aren’t many art events that benefit from colder, darker conditions, but the organizers of Kamloops Lumiere Lantern Parade are pretty sure they’ve got one of them. That’s the thinking behind a shift that will see the annual parade of lights run during this year’s Lights in the Night event downtown instead of during Canada Day celebrations in Riverside Park. “It’s dark out there and it’s time to brighten the city up, I think,” said Kathy Sinclair of the Kamloops Arts Council. “We had tried it for about three years in July on Canada Day and we just found that, even thought there’s so many people down in the park on that day, by the end of the day people are pretty tired and the little kids are all sun-stroked and want to go home. “So, we weren’t getting the higher numbers we were hoping for.” This year’s parade will kick off at 6 p.m. at the Lansdowne Village on Thursday, Nov. 28, wind its way to Stuart Wood elementary for awarding of prizes — including $100 each for the best lantern and best Thompson Rivers University entry — before finishing up at St. Andrews on the Square just in time for the Christmas-tree lighting.
To prepare for the big event, the council is hosting three weeks of lantern-making workshops at Stuart Wood on Nov. 14, Nov. 21 and Nov. 28 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Leading the lantern creation is local artist Una Connor. “She’s got so many ideas. They’re so awesome,” said Sinclair. “She’s got bamboo with tissue paper and some yarn-based lanterns and she’s got some you can make out of balloons, like a hot-air balloon. “So, she’s got tons of ideas that people can pick and choose.” Artist Shelly McKercher will also be crafting glass-jar lanterns. The workshops are free to all ages and Sinclair said those who want to attend more than one night are free to leave their inprogress works at the school between sessions. For entrants, Sinclair said the event offers plenty of creative freedom. “I’ve seen lanterns like Alice in Wonderland, a whole ensemble of lanterns with life-sized tea cups and things like that,” she said. “Last year, when we did the lantern parade in July, there was a woman here who made a life-sized mermaid lantern. “There’s some really cool, different ideas.”
DONALD LYONS 1935 ~ 2013 Don Lyons was born in Vilna, AB, in 1935. The “Long Goodbye” ended peacefully on November 5th, 2013. He is survived by his wife Joan, sons Ron (Barb) of Edson, AB, Ken (Kim) of Burnaby, BC, Ian (Jane) of Kamloops BC, and 5 wonderful grandchildren who gave him great joy, Kale (Jana), Tory (Madison), Sean (Jenna), Kristina and Katey, and sister Dorothy Benson of Hinton, AB. Don’s working career started as a surveyor on the Trans-Canada Highway. Married life required a more “permanent” home, so he was fortunate to be hired by the City of Kamloops, where he worked until his retirement in a variety of interesting and fulfilling jobs before retiring in 1990. A memorable retirement party arranged by fellow employees and a family celebration commemorating the event were fond memories of his. Family and home were very important to him. Rotary, backpacking with our special group, skiing (water & snow), travelling to many interesting places, and the Cabin at Shuswap Lake all gave Don a happy and fulfilling life; his cheerful whistle and laugh will be missed by many. Retirement was elusive, his first winter was spent in Panorama operating a ski lift, a family joke about a “stress free” job was achieved. He was definitely the oldest “liftee” and, ultimately, became “Employee of the Year”! Employment with a local Engineering Firm also provided many interesting experiences in the following years. Unfortunately, dementia came to slowly rob him of his previously fulfilling life. Unlike Pierre Trudeau, who was able to choose not to treat his prostate cancer and die from it rather than dementia, Don did not have that choice as he was an exceptionally healthy person whose only ailment was dementia. When he first became aware of his condition, the Death With Dignity bill was slowly making its way through parliament. He hoped this could be the answer for him but, as we know, this bill was defeated and the issue is still unresolved. We sincerely hope that the touching video made by Donald Low may once again bring this issue before parliament. Having watched his mother die from dementia he had no desire to follow the same path, but spent three years at the Kamloops Senior’s Village receiving excellent care. Thank you everyone, your support and compassion were much appreciated. He so wanted that the money that would be spent to keep him in care be spent in a more positive fashion, for research to find a cure for all types of neurological type diseases. There will be no service for Don, but if you would like to share a particular memory, the family would be pleased to hear from you. Please email any stories, memories or otherwise to memoriesofdonlyons@gmail.com A special fund has been set up for Don at UBC. Donations, cheques please, for brain research may be made out to: UBC Faculty of Medicine – BRC (Brain Research Centre) and mailed to: Alzheimer Research Fund, Brain Research Centre c/o Fatima Hassam, UBC Faculty of Medicine, 317-2194 Health Science Mall, Vancouver, BC, V6T1Z3 Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577 Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com
One of the lanterns that have been highlights of past lumiere parades was this lifesized mermaid. The annual event is moving from July 1 to the fall so the lights have darkness to illuminate. Jay Armitage photo
DAVID CHARLES SCARFO May 12, 1948 – October 21, 2013 It is with heavy hearts that the passing of Dave is announced. He left us very peacefully, leaving a long but courageous battle with cancer behind. He will be sadly missed by his brothers, Philip and Dominic (Mick), sister-in-law RoyeAnne, sister Faye; sons Allen and Dan, daughter-in-law Donita, 3 grandchildren Austin, Eddie and Jennifer. He will forever be in our hearts and in those of the hundreds of friends who always enjoyed his company. Dave was predeceased by his wife Darlene, mother and father, sister Barbara and brother Bob. Dave was born in Oliver, BC, raised in New Westminster and at the age of 17 joined the Air Force. Prior to his retiring to Kamloops, he lived in Fort St. John. There he was very busy with his family, his business, his many friends and his volunteering. Extremely active in the Rotary Club, he received a Paul Harris Fellow. As everyone who knew Dave will agree, he was always optimistic, always giving of himself and now even in death has given his body to UBC Research. Dave was, as he liked to say, “one of the good guys”. Celebrations of Life will be held: Canadian Legion, Fort St. John, November 16, 1pm to 4pm 729 Sicamore St, Kamloops, November 17, 1pm to 4pm 122-145 King Edward St, Coquitlam, November 30, 1pm to 4pm In lieu of flowers donations in Dave’s Memory may be sent to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, Kamloops, BC.
