A marijuana “root ball” — something commonly used in illegal grow operations — was found in a shallow grave alongside two Kamloops men who were killed in 2009, a jury has heard. Taking the stand in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Monday, Nov. 25 — the 10th day of Roy Fraser’s double-murder trial — was RCMP Cpl. Trent Johnson, the officer who, by hand, dug the bodies of Ken Yaretz Jr. and Damien Marks out of a shallow grave on Fraser’s property in Knouff Lake. Fraser, 56, is facing one count each of first- and second-degree murder in the deaths of Yaretz, 25, and Marks, 31. The two men were last seen alive on April 17, 2009, leaving Marks’ Brocklehurst residence and believed to have been going to Fraser’s property in Knouff Lake. Their bodies were found five weeks later while police were executing a search warrant. Once Johnson had excavated the bodies and had them removed from the five-foot-deep “pit,” he said, he sifted through the remaining dirt and found a root ball. Johnson said he was familiar with root balls — something he also referred to as “a starter sack” — from investigating marijuana-grow operations in the past. Court has previously heard Fraser has a history of running marijuana-grow operations — a fact he admitted to police in a videotaped interview played for the jury. In addition, defence lawyer Alexander Watt suggested through questioning that Yaretz was hoping to set up a grow-op with Fraser at a home near Barriere. Yaretz was an associate of the Independent Soldiers street gang and Jayme Russell, who was the leader of its Kamloops cell prior to being jailed in early 2009. The jury has heard Yaretz carried a handgun for protection, while Marks’ roommate also testified he once saw a loaded pistol on Marks’ dresser. In his opening statement to the 13-person jury, Crown prosecutor Tim Livingston said Fraser was upset with Yaretz for having borrowed a pickup truck which he failed to return. X See MURDER TRIAL A12

PAYING TRIBUTE TO KOREAN WAR VETS Veterans of the Korean War were honoured at a weekend ceremony at the Kamloops branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod, B.C. Lieut.-Gov. Judith Guichon and Sen. Nancy Greene Raine were on hand to present personalized certificates of recognition to all Korean War veterans in attendance, honouring their service to Canada. “It was a distinct honour to pay tribute to 17 veterans of the Korean War from the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo region,” McLeod said. “We are grateful to all the brave men and women who served during the Korean War and we mourn the loss of the 516 Canadians who gave their lives in the defence of freedom.” This year marks the 60th anniversary of the end of the war and the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Canada and South Korea. From 1950 to 1953, more than 26,000 Canadians served in Korea. On July 27, 1953, the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed, ending three years of fighting. Approximately 7,000 Canadians continued to serve between the signing of the Armistice and the end of 1955. Some Canadian troops remained until 1957. Those honoured locally on the weekend included Robbie Robertson, Arthur Duggan, Allan Tassell, Gordon MacDonald, Fred Shelton, Barry Lister, John Price, Gary Williams, Bob Mitchell, Robert Caffrey, Alex Sim, Ray Maxfield and Leon Rushcall. Those honoured posthumously included Mitsutoshi Arikado, George Wilkinson, Edward Alexis Fortier and Arthur Oakley.

Under the mistletoe via the microtome By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

ROUND THE WORLD, mistletoe is an iconic symbol of Christmas. For Cindy Ross Friedman, however, it’s her focus just about every day of the year — and it has nothing to do with the holiday season. The Thompson Rivers University biology professor has spent several years researching the dwarf mistletoe, not a colourful piece of shrubbery to hang in your hallway; rather, a parasite that attacks and kills lodgepole pine trees. Left alone, the dwarf mistletoe will flower, although it’s not as pretty as its cousin. Each time it does this, Ross Friedman said, it sends out more members of the family to dig roots into one of the pines, which slowly starts to destroy the tree. As it digs into the heart of the tree, well under the bark, it can stunt growth, reduce seed or pine-cone creation, affect the quality of the wood, leave the tree vulnerable to attack from other enemies or simply kill the tree. The dwarf mistletoe has always been here, Ross Friedman said, but hasn’t received as much media attention because it’s a parasite viewed to have some harmony

with nature, unlike the mountain pine beetle that simply attacks, kills and moves on. Ross Friedman’s goal isn’t to figure out a way to eradicate it, but to control the dwarf mistletoe. Recently, she acquired a new ultra microtome, a

$70,000 piece of equipment that replaces the one she has been using since she joined TRU almost a decade ago — and one that dates back to the early 1960s. It looks and operates much like a microscope, but does so much more, allowing her to cut slices of the objects she’s studying into the thinnest of layers.

Ross Friedman has done something out of the ordinary to add to the equipment list for the science department. During a visit to UBC years ago, she came across a transmission electron microscope, which uses beams of electrons to create images of impossibly thin slices of specimens. The images can be magnified or enhanced to help reveal some of the secrets nature has created. “I asked what they were doing with it and they said they had no place to store it and were getting The dwarf mistletoe is not rid of something under which you will it,” Ross want to pucker up.

Dermatology dilemma drags on Retired teacher faces Kamloops is one of many cities seeking dermatologists By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Dr. Evert Tuyp got off the plane in Kamloops last Friday, there were several text messages waiting for him, all from fellow dermatologist Dr. Richard Lewis. Each told him the province’s health minister and Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake was aware Tuyp was coming to join Lewis in a meeting with Lake to talk about the lack of dermatologists in the province. “Each one said, ‘Don’t go near Lake’s office or he’ll cancel on me [Lewis], too’,” Tuyp said from his home in Coquitlam. “But, this is his backyard. That’s what’s appalling.” Tuyp said he had already been rebuffed by Lake after asking constituency-office staff if he could accompany Lewis in the meeting and being told he could not. But, he said, the day before the meeting, Vancouver news media covered the lack of dermatologists in the province — there are 24 positions

open and many now in the practice are retiring. “So, I thought with those headlines he might have had a change of heart,” Tuyp told KTW. Lake said he was disappointed Tuyp had “made a scene about this.” Lake said he wanted to have a discussion with Lewis, a friend, that didn’t bring in politics. In his position, Lake said, it’s not advisable he get directly involved in matters that are under the control of the B.C. Medical Association — Tuyp heads its dermatology division — but said it was clear from listening to Lewis there is an issue that needs to be considered. Lake added, however, that all medical specialties must make their cases on fees to the BCMA. “And, for whatever reason, it’s obvious the dermatologists haven’t made their case,” he said. Lewis and Dr. Chris Sladden are the only two dermatologists to de-enrol from the medical-services plan in the past decade, Tuyp said. Sladden, who had trained to replace the 73-year-old Lewis, gave up his

A retired Kamloops-Thompson school district teacher now facing a child-pornography charge was arraigned in Kamloops provincial court this week. Jerry Waslenkoff is facing one count of possession of child pornography as a result of an investigation that lasted nearly a year. The 65-year-old appeared in court Monday, Nov. 25, for an arraignment hearing. Police have said the charges against Waslenkoff stem from an investigation involving the RCMP’s integrated childexploitation and technological crimes teams. Waslenkoff retired from the school district in 2006.

Kamloops practice because, he said, fees the province pays dermatologists are lower than most of the country and not economically viable to maintain the practice. Lewis has joined Sladden in flying to Newfoundland for weeks at a time to provide dermatological services to communities there that lack the specialty, but Lewis is also trying to maintain his Kamloops practice. “Dick told me he had looked for 15 years for someone to join him in Kamloops and eventually take over the practice,” Tuyp said. “Fifteen years. How many years will it take when Dick finally does retire?” Tuyp said he wrote Lake, the BCMA and the head of the UBC School of Medicine a month ago, asking for a meeting to discuss the twodozen vacancies, but has yet to receive a reply. Lake told KTW he will look at putting together that kind of meeting. Other communities seeking new dermatologists are Victoria, Duncan, Coquitlam, Richmond, Surrey, Maple Ridge and Prince George.

Budget heads to council By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

With its first round of public consultation finished, Kamloops city council will take its first pass at the 2014 budget today (Nov. 26) and set utility rates for the coming year. According to the provisional budget, the city needs another $1.8 million in tax revenue to maintain operations, which translates into a 1.99 per cent property-tax hike â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or about $35 for the average homeowner. As usual, wage and benefit costs account for most of the shortfall â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about $1.4 million

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; although decreases in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planned capital budget and new revenue from growth offset some of the demand. A 1.99 property-tax increase doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take into account any supplemental items council may add to the budget during later deliberations, nor the $2.4 million the city is expecting in gastax revenue. Council will also have the option to use any surplus from 2013 to reduce a tax hike. On the utility-rate side, water rates are holding steady for another year, while sewer rates will climb another five per cent as the city looks to make up the

costs of its new sewage-treatment plant, which it will begin paying off in 2015 to the tune of $1.2 million per year. Councillors will also get a look at input collected during two public meetings held in late October and early November, including comments collected via Twitter during the sessions. While the city has traditionally held all budget meetings in February, it decided to move up consultations this year to focus the discussion on service levels and whether they should be cut, kept the same or expanded. Another public meeting is planned for February.

Cold delays Tranquille Market roadwork Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another delay for Tranquille Road. While work on the project was supposed to have wrapped up by Sunday, Nov. 24, workers are still installing light poles and repaving driveways in the Tranquille

If you ﬁnd this cartoon ‘racist,’ Carbon tust the problem lies in your mind must be

F YOU WANTED TO STUDY racism in editorial cartoons, you could do a Google search online and encounter a rich treasure trove of offensive artistry. Some are recent (such as the January 2013 controversial cartoon that ran in the Morris Mirror in Manitoba) and some stretch back more than a century. Or, you could pick up a the Nov. 19 edition of Kamloops This Week, look at page A8, completely misinterpret the illustration by artist Ingrid Rice, call the editor and rail in a most nonsensical manner, then wander down to city hall to ask council to do something about a perfectly fine artistic political statement that you created as racist in a mind not quite ready for prime time. A problematic byproduct of our ultra-sensitive society today is the ease by which serious charges, such as racism, are tossed around. In the Nov. 19 edition of KTW, I ran on this page the editorial cartoon that appears to the right. It depicts a group of natives (or First Nations, for those who consider “natives” to be derogatory, though I certainly do not, and I am part-native) as being a serious hurdle standing in the way of Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline, despite the recent framework agreements reached between the premiers of B.C. and Alberta. A reader, Tony Brumell, called to claim the cartoon was racist. When I asked how he came to that conclusion, Brumell said he took issue with the fact the cartoon made it appear as though only natives are opposed to the pipeline. An odd view, to be sure. So, I asked, the cartoon is racist in its treatment of non-natives and their objection to the Enbridge pipeline proposal? Brumell replied that, if I could not see how it was racist, there was no point in discussing the matter. He then proceeded to attend the city council meeting that day and denigrate in public this newspaper with his completely misinformed interpretation.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS Brumell’s visit to council was tweeted on social media and, sure enough, I received via Twitter one other admonishment for publishing the editorial cartoon, this from Duncan McGregor, a co-host of a university radio-station program. We went back and forth in that 140-character universe and agreed to disagree. At one point, McGregor asked how many First Nations are

employed in Kamloops newsrooms, to which I responded: Who cares? I hire blindly, by virtue of talent on paper, not ethnicity in blood. When I emailed Rice, the artist behind the editorial cartoon, she responded to her critics. “Really? Racist towards whom?” she asked. “It’s said that to bring oil to the coast, there will still be hurdles to get over, even though [Premier Christy] Clark has ‘okayed’ the pipeline. I’m saying there sure will be hurdles and their name is First Nations.” Hence her cartoon. Rice is correct. There are many others besides the First Nations opposed to Northern Gateway but, as Rice noted, no other group has equal the power to stop the pipeline. If there was objection to the manner in which Rice portrayed the First Nations crowd in her cartoon, she is not buying it.

“The natives were portrayed as some with short hair and some with braids — some do wear braids — holding eagle feathers,” Rice said. “Some were in regular clothes and some in fringed jackets — some do wear them. There are no feathers sticking out of headbands — some natives do wear headbands — and there are no full headdresses. There are no loincloths. “As an artist, I reserve the right to illustrate First Nations in such a way that will make them recognizable to the casual viewer while still being respectful. “They will not allow the pipelines to cross their traditional land. Seems a traditional depiction makes more sense than natives in business suits. “The facial features are exactly the same as all the facial features in my cartoon characters — glasses and big noses. I depicted First Nations demonstrating their power by numbers and eagle feathers — a hurdle that will be difficult, if not impossible, to get over.” In fact, Rice added, she named one of the characters “Nancy Hurdle” in honour of Rice’s First Nations friend, who owns a native boutique in the Squamish Nation in North Vancouver. There are many instances of actual racist articles or cartoons being published and resulting in an apology from those who made the grievous error in judgment. When Brumell called last week, he demanded an apology from me for publishing the cartoon. This week, I will be waiting for an apology, on behalf of KTW, from Brumell et al for sullying the name and reputation of this newspaper based on a classic knee-jerk reaction tied to a lack of critical thinking on their behalf. And I will pass on the mea culpa to Rice.

eliminated completely

The first move in the provincial government’s core review, designed to reduce overall government costs, targets the Pacific Carbon Trust. But, it doesn’t go nearly far enough. The government is planning to move the trust into the Ministry of Environment and reduce its staff and administrative costs. It would be far better to eliminate it. Bill Bennett, the minister responsible for the review, says the move will save $5.6 million annually by 2015-16. The carbon trust’s staff will be reduced to five from 18. Unfortunately, the government is still spinning the half-truth that the Pacific Carbon Trust is actually reducing carbon emissions. All it really does is boost the cost of government projects and initiatives. New schools, for example, cost more because all government agencies are required to buy carbon offsets so the province can claim it is totally carbon neutral. The offsets it buys, at $25 per tonne, are purchased from the private sector — usually from large carbon emitters to build projects that reduce the amount of carbon they emit. What is left unsaid is that most of these projects would likely be built anyway. NDP Leader Adrian Dix, who fumbled on a number of occasions during the provincial election campaign, was strikingly clear on the Pacific Carbon Trust. He would eliminate it. The B.C. Liberal government continues to mouth platitudes about carbon reduction, even as it proposes a number of LNG plants that would certainly boost the amount of carbon emitted in B.C. However, if the plants are built and natural gas begins to replace coal as the source of electricity in countries like China, worldwide carbon emissions will decrease. That type of effort toward reducing carbon is far superior to the smoke and mirrors of the Pacific Carbon Trust.

TALK BACK

Please do not confuse us with those organizations Editor: On behalf of the Kamloops Aboriginal Friendship Society, I feel it is important to remind the City of Kamloops and the community that we have proudly been providing needed services supports to the urban aboriginal people and at-risk citizens of our community for over 40 years. We have always strived to be transparent and community-focused.

Q&A

As such, we must state we are not directly or indirectly linked to any agency that has been the subject of recent negative news reports. We ask the public not to paint us with the same brush, but to remember the good work being done in our community.

WE ASKED Would you like to see the Canadian Senate abolished?

SURVEY RESULTS

‘Political negligence’ leaves residents powerless Editor: Although there may be some entertainment value in watching the ongoing KGHM Ajax debate, I believe it is critical for Kamloops residents to recognize how the mine controversy has become a distraction from a much greater threat to our common interests. While we are busy arguing among ourselves about the advantages and disadvantages of the mine, the provincial and federal governments are free to quietly advance their own agendas. We do not, in fact, have influence about whether or not the mine is approved and the prevailing “political negligence” by our provincial and federal representatives is ensuring local residents have no influence about if, when and how resources are extracted from their community. This “political negligence” becomes very apparent when local politicians are asked to take a stand about the proposed mine. The usual response

is some variation on the theme of not being able to comment because more information is needed. More information? Those of us who have made a point of following the Ajax discussions know there is plenty of relevant information readily available. Many residents have taken the time to investigate the potential impact of the Ajax mine on our community. They have presented fact-based arguments and engaged in efforts to educate their fellow citizens.

Most have done so on a voluntary basis, driven by genuine concern for our community. Of greater concern is the failure of local provincial and federal politicians to identify the specific information needed that would enable them to take a stand on behalf of their constituents. What level of harm is tolerable? How will KGHM Ajax be held accountable and make compensation for harm resulting from its activities?

Instead, there is silence and naive confidence in the environmental-assessment process. Not many of us would buy a used car simply because the salesman said it was a good deal. We typically ask relevant questions and do our own research before making an important decision. The passive attitude shown by our MLAs and MP allow them to appear impartial while, in fact, they are evading responsibility to us, their constituents.

YES 91% NO 9%

Local groups opposed to the mine will continue to educate their neighbours about the negative impacts associated with having an open-pit mine so close to our city. KGHM Ajax will continue to show its earnest attempts to engage the community with soothing words and assurances that the negative impacts will be “mitigated.” All the while, our local MLAs and MP will allow the mine to inch closer toward becoming a reality because that is what our provincial and federal governments want. (In her recent visit to Kamloops, Premier Christy Clark openly expressed her support of the proposed Ajax mine.) Local communities and First Nations must have the statutory right to decide if, when and how resources are extracted from their territory. They must have the ability to reject any project that threatens their wellbeing or the environment upon which they depend. Andrew Bezooyen Kamloops

Recycling plan gets another look Focus again is on mixed materials By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

CHRISTMAS IS FOR CHILDREN Lydia McAndrew (left) shows her wares to Shanti Claycamp and daughter Olivia at the Pacific Way Craft Fair, held on Saturday, Nov. 23, at Pacific Way elementary. Allen Douglas/KTW

It turned it down once before, but Kamloops council is being urged by city staff to take another look at partnering with an organization charged with providing curbside recycling services across B.C. In September, city council voted to not get involved with Mixed Materials B.C. (MMBC), an organization set up by producers of printed paper and packaging after the provincial government ordered them to take more responsibility for keeping their products out of landfills. MMBC is setting up recycling programs in communities and regional districts where they don’t exist and, in communities like Kamloops that have existing programs, offering funding for municipalities to collect recyclables on MMBC’s behalf. Council rejected the staff recommendation last time to join the program, arguing there were too many unknown quantities in the scheme. Among those were worries the city would be on the hook for massive fines if residents recycled glass — which is allowed in Kamloops’ blue

bins, but would have to go to depots under MMBC rules. However, in a report headed to city council today (Nov. 26), environmental manager Jen Fretz said many of the city’s concerns have since been alleviated by MMBC. Fines for collecting contaminated loads of recyclables are being capped at $120,000, Fretz said, not the millions of dollars the city feared. The city will also now be able to opt out of the MMBC contract with six months’ notice if it doesn’t work out. Even if council doesn’t go with MMBC’s offer, Fretz said, it may not be able to offer curbside glass recycling much longer because Kamloops’ recycling processor wants it out of the mix to improve its profit on the materials it takes from the city. Soft plastic film may also be on the chopping block. If the city opts in to the MMBC plan, recycling would still be collected by the city, but it would be sponsored by the provincial organization to the tune of about $1.1 million over five years. Fretz said that could save the city $300,000 a year.

Brooks: Healthy rural B.C. is healthy B.C. By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Dan Brooks is one of two men vying to succeed John Cummins as leader of the B.C. Conservative Party. Dave Eagles/KTW

Greek farmer who was known for his wisdom and strength. With an invading force nearing, the people in charge asked him to come lead them and promised him complete power. The farmer said he didn’t want that much control, but agreed to help them with their battle. He gave his guidance, they won and he returned

“And half of them left before we were done.” Still optimistic, Brooks left thinking those who remained would do something but, he learned from an MLA he later called, there would be no support. “Because he wasn’t going to do anything to affect getting into cabinet. He told me that and I went right into the arms of John Cummins and told him I would build the party in the North.” There would be no whip in a Conservative party led by Brooks, he said. MLAs would be allowed to vote their conscience through a separation of motions to allow votes on specific issues without bringing on a non-confidence motion against government.” He calls it a unity vote and he said it’s needed if MLAs will ever feel free to truly represent their constituents. Brooks calls himself “not a grassroots guy, but a grassroots democracy”

P R O F E S S I O N A L

type of politician and he wants to lead a government with others of the same ilk who aren’t seeking power, but who want to represent that same grassroots base. Brooks also wants to see the base redefined so Vancouver and Victoria don’t continue to benefit from government largesse to the detriment of the rest of the province, in particular rural B.C. “For 40 years, Vanderhoof has been asking for money just for a swimming pool,” Brooks said. “For 40 years and we can’t get it. “Houston just lost a mill. That’s devastating, but what’s being done about it? A healthy rural B.C. is a health B.C.” Brooks is running against Rick Peterson, a Vancouver-based former journalist who is now an investment advisor. A leadership convention for the party is expected to be held in April.

Dan Brooks thinks B.C. needs more Boy Scouts in the legislature. At first glance, that might seem like an oversimplification, but the candidate for the leadership of the B.C. Conservative Party — also a former Scout — said the principles of the movement would make for a better government than the whip-controlled, powercentric ones that exist today. “Think about it. What [Scout founder Robert] Baden-Powell said, ‘Do your best. Look out for others. Always leave your campfire site in better condition than it was when you found it’,” Brooks said. If that analogy doesn’t work, he has another one, rooted in his university studies of Greek and Roman history. The Vanderhoof resident recalls learning of a

to the farm. That is why Brooks is in the race to replace John Cummins. Politics, he said, is controlled by people who simply want power and have little regard for the average person. That belief is what led him to become active in the party, running for office in Nechako Lakes in the May election and, while losing, garnering more than 12 per cent of the popular vote. He was operating Crystal Lake Resort just south of Vanderhoof and active in land-use planning when the government changed its wildlifeallocation policy. The ramifications of the new policy meant, in the end, Brook lost a chunk of his business. A trip to Victoria to meet with politicians did not go well. The group he was with discovered only about one-third of the MLAs waiting to hear their points.

You brought new hope to breast cancer patients everywhere.

Wanted no more following arrest A man who police have identified as gang associate and who was wanted by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) for almost 30 charges — including two allegedly committed in Kamloops — has been arrested in Abbotsford. Abbotsford Police Const. Paul Walker said Corey Ross Foster, 35, was arrested on Tuesday, Nov. 12, after someone called police to report a suspicious man walking in the rural west section of the Fraser Valley city. Police went to the area and found the man, who provided a story to officers that was inconsistent with him being in the area, Walker said, noting Foster also gave a false name.

Inside the LRB ruling at TRU By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thompson Rivers University faculty might have avoided a year’s worth of negotiations for a new contract by accepting an offer the administration made in 2012 — but it meant making concessions for the new law school. The document provides a look at the dispute between the TRU Faculty Association (TRUFA) and the new law faculty members who did not believe the faculty should be required to comply with existing contract requirements. Those disputed points ranged from not wanting to appoint a department chair — the law professors wanted to have a dean — to not wanting to be required to follow the existing salary grid, one that sets out pay levels and progressions for all teaching staff at TRU. The law faculty also wanted to be able to appoint assistant professors who do not have tenure to the position of associ-

ate professor with tenure. TRU describes granting tenure as “an important milestone in any faculty member’s career” that must be earned through a rigorous assessment process. In its documentation on tenure, TRU notes tenure requires faculty to “have their performance assessed against increasing expectations for effectiveness in teaching, recognized research, scholarly and creative work and contributions to service within the university community, as well as to the profession locally, nationally and internationally.” The labour-board ruling, issued on Nov. 15, reviews emails and meetings — both formal and informal — in which the law faculty made their case and notes the deal was offered in the fall of 2012 with a two per cent increase over two years for the salary grid, but that it was conditional on TRUFA “making certain concessions with respect to the law school.” It also hints at an internal

TRUFA dispute, noting bargaining committee chairman John Turner “expressed a willingness to work with the law faculty, noting he was not opposed to making changes to the collective agreement,” while TRUFA president Jason Brown is described as being resistant to “special concessions which, in his [Brown’s] words, will weaken the collective agreement.” Brown later quit the bargaining committee and has refused to discuss it, although others have told KTW it revolved around the issue of the law school. When asked to speak on the law-school bargaining issue as it related to bargaining, Turner also declined to comment, noting the union and administration had committed to issuing a jointly agreed-upon statement about the bargaining process. Among emails presented to the labour board is one from Brown to the the law faculty noting that “one of the issues we are dealing with has to do with a group of 30 per cent of our members who teach up to

full-time, but receive no benefits other than those required by law. . . . No faculty on campus received any wage increase in the last round of bargaining so, of course, they are also asking the union to make sure we represent their needs in this round of bargaining.” The law faculty — those filing the complaint with the board included Micah Rankin, Christopher Hunt, Ruby Dhand, Robert Diab, Richard Oppong, Margaret Hall, Nicole Schabus, Tesh Dagne, Joseph McIntyre, Juliette McIntyre, Lorne Neudorf and Catherine Sykes — also complained to the board the union had filed grievances over alleged contract violations by the faculty dean, assistant dean and law librarian without consulting with the faculty directly. In his report, board vicechair Ken Saunders relied on existing case and contract law, as well as precedent rulings, in his determination TRUFA had not failed to represent the faculty fairly, as is required under a section of the B.C. Labour Relations Code.

Now Introducing... 2 HIGH DEFINITION

Billy Miner rides again! Billy Miner is heading to jail again — well, the ghost of the legendary train robber, at least. Larry Foss, who longtime Kamloopsians know as the actor who portrayed Miner with the 2124 Heritage steam train rides, will be dressed in costume and arrested by local police on Wednesday, Nov.

27, for the RCMP’s Jail and Bail fundraiser to benefit the Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo United Way campaign. Miner may have a guitartoting, train-robbing buddy with him, Foss said, to serenade the thief while he waits for his bail to be posted. Anyone wanting to sponsor Miner can go online to

jailandbailkamloops.ca and, under the sponsor an individual tab, search for Billy Miner. • Rumours persists that Kamloops This Week’s Dale Bass will also be arrested on Wednesday. Spare her a few dollars as well, as she will be needed back in the newsroom to edit some copy.

White Buffalo seeking board members Board members are being sought for White Buffalo Aboriginal and Metis Health Society. The agency, the subject of a provincial audit earlier this year that pointed out financial issues, has distributed a call for directors at Thompson Rivers University. It notes it is looking for people with an aboriginal ancestry or a demonstrated commitment to the wellness of aboriginal people, as well as knowledge in governance, financial management, strategic planning, policy development and

strategic leadership. Board members must also have strong communication and networking skills and a high standatd of personal ethics. It notes the agency holds monthly board meetings. Interested persons can send a letter with reasons for applying and how they meet the criteria to the society at 517A Tranquille Rd., V2B 3H3 or by email to directorofprogramming@whitebuffalo. name.

Dangers of genetically modiﬁed food focus of talk at university By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The food we eat is killing us. That’s the message from a pair of doctors touring Western Canada — slated to stop in Kamloops on Wednesday, Nov. 27 — and speaking about the dangers of genetically modified food. “We are presenting evidence that genetic-engineering technology had been hijacked by industry,” said Dr. Thierry Vrain, who, along with Dr. Shiv Chopra, will be speaking at the Thompson Rivers University Clocktower Theatre at 7 p.m. “Basically, it’s now about selling the pesticide Roundup. The reality today is over 90 per cent of engineered plants are engineered to resist Roundup.” Vrain said that means residue of Roundup — an antibiotic — is in most of the Western world’s corn, soy, canola and sugar. “Basically, we are feeding people low levels of antibiotic,” he said. “If you put antibiotic in your food, you’re going to affect the

bacteria of your guts.” Vrain pointed to substantial rises in cases of autism, Alzheimer’s, obesity, organ damage and Crohn’s and celiac diseases as evidence of the effect genetic engineering is having on health. “Symptoms have been on the rise in the last 20 years,” he said. “There’s no denying we have epidemic levels in some of these.” Chopra, a former regulator with Health Canada, said genetic engineering has not been studied and its associated risks are not known. “That has never been done in Canada or the U.S. or anywhere in the world,” he said. “But, both in Canada and the U.S., we have approved genetically modified crops.” Chopra said the effects of genetic engineering are widespread. “In Canada, we have all the food we can eat, but we’re ruining our land — we’re ruining the health of our people,” he said. “Why? People are dying a slow death now. “Disease is increasing.”

And, of course, he’s also credited with catching one of the most infamous train robbers to ever hit the Kamloops area — a story that arrives on page 122 of Trading Post to Tournament Capital. “We hear a lot about the bad guys, the McLean boys and the Billy Miners,” said Rob Hatch, one of four co-authors of the hardcover volume produced in honour of the city’s bicentennial last year. “But, we haven’t really highlighted the lives of the lawmen.” In two years of research and writing that included interviews with more than 90 people who helped shape Kamloops, Fernie was one of Hatch’s favourite discoveries. Hatch and co-authors Sylvia Gropp, Sherry Bennett and Elizabeth Duckworth will be at the Kamloops Museum and Archives on Thursday,

People can donate online at ca.movember. com. Click on the “donate” link and search NorKam to donate. Former school board trustee Barry Brady will be at the school on Wednesday, Nov. 27, at noon to auction off the rights to do the shaving.

Harper’s ‘war on science’ has major impact

“

OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ENGAGED IN A WAR ON SCIENCE THAT HAS RESULTED IN EFFECTS THAT MAY TAKE A GENERATION TO CORRECT.”

That was the conclusion reached by Dr. Tom Duck, a scientist and professor at Dalhousie University who

It’s quite astounding to hear in actual terms what this government has done to science and research projects, mostly hidden in omnibus bills the public doesn’t see or hear about. The extreme fundamentalist right-wing agenda of the Stephen

BILL LIGERTWOOD Rational THOUGHTS recently gave a lecture in Kamloops,

In this season of

Harper government shouldn’t surprise anyone. It’s like Canada’s own version of the Tea Party, only instead of wearing their fundamentalist religious beliefs on their sleeves, Harper and his Conservative government hide it from view using

stealth tactics to keep the public in the dark. The compliant media seems afraid to even mention it. Make no mistake — this government is undertaking a war on science because science is antithetical to its fundamental beliefs.

Who can forget Gary Goodyear? When asked if he believed in evolution, Goodyear told the reporter he wouldn’t discuss his religious beliefs. This happened when Goodyear was minister of state for science and technology. How can a person who thinks the earth is less than 10,000 years old possibly even be in government? It’s easy — you simply never mention your personal religious beliefs in public, especially during an election. That is only one cabinet minister, but there are many, many more, including the prime minister, who, whenever he is in Washington, D.C., pays a visit to the C Street Church and sits in on prayer breakfasts put on by the likes of Michelle Bachman. Harper has even hosted prayer breakfasts of his own in Ottawa. There is no line between church and state for these folks who believe God has

put them in power and who think the rich are rich because God wants them to be rich and the poor are poor because God wants them to be poor. It’s all a part of God’s plan. Climate change? That’s in God’s hands, too, so no need to be concerned. Here are just a few examples of what we’ve lost so far: • The long-form census has been scrapped, replaced by a voluntary national household survey that spends more money to deliver substantially less reliable data. • Canada has backed out of the Kyoto Accord, opted out of the United Nations’ Vienna Declaration on HIV/AIDS (which advocates for evidence-based drug policies) and distinguished itself as the only nation in the UN to drop out of the Convention to Combat Desertification.

List of what we’ve lost is long X From A24

• The Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Science is gone, as is the National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy, as is the Experimental Lakes Area — the world’s leading freshwater research facility. • Omnibus budget cuts forced the abandonment of nearly 500 environmentalimpact assessments nationwide. • The Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ (DFO) habitat-management program has been slashed back and the DFO has shuttered seven of its 11 libraries. • The National Research Council, meanwhile, is undergoing radical restructuring to become what its executive director, John McDougall, envisions as a “concierge” service for industry.

Stephen Harper’s “war on science” has claimed many victims, according to Rational Thoughts columnist Bill Ligertwood.

• Environment Canada has essentially become nothing more than a weatherforecasting agency, the vast majority of its research budget gutted or eliminated entirely. The list goes on and on and should be alarming to anyone who cares about the future of Canada. This is all taking place because the agenda of Harper and his religious zealots remains hidden.

Women’s programs have also been under attack and the only reason Harper refuses to allow the abortion issue to raise its head is because he knows it’s an issue that will sink him and his party. The prime minister’s base is becoming impatient with him on that issue and now, with the almost daily lies and shenanigans related to the Senate scandal, it seems perhaps the Lord has other plans for Harper. As for the war on science, the results of that may take years to fix — or as Duck lamented during his Kamloops visit, “a generation.” I hope we still have a few unpolluted lakes and streams left by the time Harper and company are gone.

Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row, column, and 3x3 block. Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle.

The reality of River City Realty’s plans He has the permits, but Vince Cavaliere is feeling a bit gun-shy about moving ahead with an expansion of his downtown Kamloops business. The planned addition at River City Realty would add about 500 square feet to the single-family-home-turned commercial enterprise at 703 St. Paul St. It garnered criticism from some of Cavaliere’s neighbours who were concerned a new parking configuration required by the expansion would lead to cars backing up unsafely in the alley behind the building. Others, Cavaliere said, were concerned it would lead to more onstreet spots going to River City workers and clients. But, he said, most of the cars parking in the area all day aren’t people who work in the immediate vicinity. “They work down the street,” he said. Because one side of Seventh Avenue allows all-day parking, it’s an attractive spot for downtown workers. But, Cavaliere noted, by the time most residents in the neighbourhood would be returning home, parking isn’t an issue. “At around 4:30, all these cars

will be gone,” he said. “And tomorrow at 7:30, 8 a.m., they’ll all come back.” Cavaliere believes many of the residents who have complained about parking on his block would rather River City wasn’t there, that the lot held another residential property. But, he said, the building has been one kind of an office or another since the late 1970s — long enough that Cavaliere, who moved to the spot in 2006, doesn’t think he can be accused of changing the character of the neighbourhood. “We are good businesspeople, community-minded, and I feel that we have one or two individuals that are naysaying everything that goes on, regardless of where it goes,” he said. The controversy makes him less sure he wants to spend $250,000 expanding this particular property. “Parking is a concern everywhere. But, I’m being singled out,” he said. “I mean, I’ve got the approvals, so it’s not like I’m not allowed to do that. “But, I just stand back for a moment and go, ‘I’m going to spend all this money and I still have a neighbour who is going to make things miserable.’ “What’s the point?’”

THOMAS HARDIE 1933-2013

We sadly lost Tom on November 19, 2013 at 80 years of age. Tom was born on November 14, 1933 in Kamloops, BC. He leaves behind his beloved wife Sandy, children, grand-kids, sisters and many others. Tom spent more than 60 years driving, with most of them behind the wheel of a logging truck. This was not only a way of life, but a huge passion of his. To know Tom was to know of his giving ways, love of having coffee with friends and having a sarcastic streak that ended with a cheeky little grin. Those of us that were lucky enough to be part of his life will not only be saddened with his passing but also be able to smile with appreciation of being able to be a part of this wonderful man’s life. Love you lots Hon, Dad, Grampa and friend. A Celebration of Tom’s life will be held in 2014.

If I Knew If I knew it would be the last time That I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more. If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say “I love you,” instead of assuming you would KNOW I do. If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there’s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right. There will always be another day to say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance to say our “Anything I can do?”

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

Storm expected to shufﬂe netminders By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTERS

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

HERE IS likely a pair of disheartened goaltenders saying goodbye to teammates today in the Tournament Capital. The Kamloops Storm were expected to announce the acquisition of 20-year-old netminder Lyndon Stanwood after KTW’s press deadline on Monday, Nov. 25. Stanwood, who was recently released by the Chilliwack Chiefs of the B.C. Hockey League, is no stranger to Kamloops, having played with the Storm before, most recently in November 2011. “A couple of them will probably have to go,” Dewar said of his current goaltenders on Monday, Nov. 25, six days before the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) trade deadline on Sunday, Dec. 1. “I can’t tell you who is leaving now because we haven’t made that decision.” Kamloops is next in action on Friday, Nov. 29, when the Revelstoke Grizzlies are in town. Game time is 7 p.m. at McArthur. Dewar added the Stanwood acquisition was not yet a done deal as of Monday afternoon: “He had just been released yesterday when we talked and he was a little bit devastated, but he’s 90 per cent sure he’s coming back.” Goaltenders on the Storm’s roster as of Monday included Wade Moyls, Kyle Michalovsky, Ben Giesbrecht and Nolan Munden. “The goaltending has been OK, but it hasn’t

been great,” Dewar said. “We’ve been outshooting guys 55 to 16 and winning games 5-4 so, sometimes, it’s not always how many saves you make, it’s when you make them.” Kamloops is among the championship favourites at the halfway point of the KIJHL campaign. After 26 tilts of the 52-game season, the Storm are second in league standings with a 21-5 record. The Nelson Leafs (20-1-1-3) are atop the KIJHL. The Storm have 10 players with at least 17 points, with defenceman Daniel Buchanan leading the club in scoring. The 20-year-old blue liner from Kamloops has 42 points, good enough for eighth in league scoring. Buchanan has 15 goals. Dewar said he is still looking to make changes up front and on the back end before the

Sunday deadline. “There’s also one more power forward and we’ve identified him, but it’s just a matter of when we can get him,” Dewar said. Stanwood’s numbers with the Storm in the early going of the 2011-2012 campaign — 14-1-2, 2.53 GAA and .927 save percentage, with two shutouts — were good enough to earn him a contract with the BCHL’s Trail Smoke Eaters. The backstop from West Vancouver played in 70 games with Trail before Chilliwack acquired him this season, but Stanwood played in only six games with the Chiefs — posting a 4.82 GAA and .879 save percentage — before his release. “We think with a more mature guy back there he’ll be able to provide those timely saves that we need,” Dewar said.

Crazy, but Subban no lock for Olympics

T’S HARD TO believe, but the National Hockey League player chosen as the best defenceman last year — a true, red-blooded Canadian (and a Canadien) — is not yet a lock for Canada’s Olympic team roster. The P.K. Subban affair is all the rage when it comes to hockey controversies, and we won’t know how the final chapter plays out until the Olympic brass, led by executive director Steve Yzerman and coach Mike Babcock, announce the provisional roster on Dec. 31. Subban, the flashy fourth-year defenceman with Montreal Canadiens, won the Norris Trophy last year largely on the strength of his offensive prowess; he led all NHL defencemen in scoring with 38 points in 42 games. But, while an NHL scoring champ would likely be an automatic selection for a forward position, and a Vezinatrophy winning goaltender would nearly be guaranteed a spot on the Olympic team, the polarizing Subban is apparently a 50-50 proposition to take part in the 2014 Olympics at Sochi. Two reasons. For one, he is a right-hand shot, and two, he doesn’t always take proper care of the puck in his own end. Yzerman and Co. say they’d like a 50-50 split of left- and righthand shooters on the blueline. That means Subban is not in a battle for one of seven or eight defensive positions on the team, but in a fight for one of four among those who shoot right. And there is stiff competition in that area: Shea Weber, Drew Doughty, Kris Letang, Brent Seabrook and Alex Pietrangelo join Subban as contenders who shoot from the right side. “Of the eight defencemen we have, I can’t guarantee there

BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW will be four rights and four lefts,” Yzerman told NHL.com. “But, I do believe there are advantages of having rights play with lefts in a game. It won’t be the final factor, but it does come into our decision-making.” Subban’s occasional carelessness with the puck might be a bigger factor. Over 82 regularseason games, he can cough it up occasionally and go on to score or set up enough goals to make up for his gaffes. In a short Olympic tournament, however, giveaways could be killers, and some NHL officials are leery of his cavalier play in his own end. In the end, however, Subban will almost certainly be chosen for the team. Winning a Norris trophy is quite a credential to have on one’s resume, and it would look even better with a gold medal hanging around it in Subban’s trophy case.

PHOENIX CELEBRATING 40 YEARS Join us at our Open House! Friday, November 29th, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm 922 - 3rd A Ave (Kamview room) With its 40th birthday celebration only a short time away, Kamloops’ Phoenix Centre is pulling the wrapping off of a new program that will fill a long-u nplugged gap in the community’s addictions treatm ent. On Monday, Nov. 18, the Phoenix Centre launched a 10-bed supportive recovery program on the upper floor of Emerald House on West Victoria Street. The new program will offer living space to people leaving Phoenix Centre’s weeklong detox program who have concerns about relapsing if they move back to their former living situations. “It could be that we have someone come through our detox bed here that lives in Chase,” explained Sian Lewis, the centre’s executive director. “And once they complete, they realize that going back to Chase is just not a good next step for them. There’s not enough service there, perhaps they have too many triggers there, not a supportive family.” The supportive recovery bed is open to a patient for as long as they need it, as long as they stick to a treatment plan with a Phoenix support worker. Lewis said the program is much-needed in Kamloops. While some patients leave Phoenix Centre’s detox program and move into residential treatment — intensive programs that can last six weeks and longe r — Lewis said many people aren’t ready for that kind of situation. However, going home may also be the wrong optio n. “It’s really a gap that exists for a lot of people comin g out of detox,” she said. To fund the supportive recovery beds, Phoenix Centr e partnered with the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), which operates Emerald Hous e. The United Way and Royal Inland Hospital Foundation together donated $100,000 to CMHA to open the shelter’s unused upper floor for the project, and Edmonton’s Stollery Charitable Foundation gave Lewis $47,000 for a support worker. Lewis is hoping to find more partners for the centr e, so more beds can be created after the first 10 fi ll up — which she doesn’t think will take too long. This is the second new program created at Phoen ix Centre in the past few years. The centre took over an Interior Health Authority pilot program earlier this year to offer at-home detox . Lewis said the program allows the centre to reach a different body of people struggling with addictions. “What’s different about the out-patient folks is that they’re not as far down the road with whatever they’r e using,” she said. “It’s going to be someone who is maybe drinking quite excessively, still mostly managing their life, but is starting to get a few red flags.” Phoenix Centre got its start as the Parents Alert Netw ork in 1973, formed by community members concerned about the effects of drinking and drug use on youth. While the group initially focused on encouraging youth to live a healthy lifestyle, it switched to detox programming in 1979 and began developing the curre nt Phoenix Centre in the early 1980s. Today the centre serves up to 1,600 people each year, a number Lewis said is limited by capacity, not demand. Phoenix Centre celebrates its 40th anniversary on Friday, Nov, 29, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at its 922 Third Ave. location (next to Royal Inland Hospital). Celebrations run from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., with guest speakers at 2 p.m. Photos from the Centre’s past will be on display and refreshments will be served.

“Congratulations on 40 years!”

No further word on Thomson’s return By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Blazers are still waiting to find out what the future holds for defenceman Jordan Thomson. “I talked to his agent early last week,” Blazer GM Craig Bonner said on Monday, Nov. 25. “Jordan’s still at home and being with his family right now.” Thomson returned home to Wawanesa, Man., to deal with a

personal matter on Nov. 12. The Blazers have made no further comment, except to say he is out on a week-toweek basis. The defenceman, drafted fourth overall in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft, has played 20 games this season, recording seven assists. He is minus-2 on the campaign. Thomson last season recorded 14 points, two of them goals, in 47 games as a 16-yearold rookie.

The Jolly Old Elf will be making his annual visit to downtown Kamloops on Saturday, Nov. 30. Despite his incredibly busy schedule, Santa Claus has once again accepted the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association’s invitation and will be the focal point of the Santa Claus Parade. This year, the parade’s theme is The 4 R’s of Christmas — Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rudolph! Being as St. Nick will be tuckered out from appearing in so many preChristmas parades, kids will be required to wake up Santa in Kamloops Square (at Seymour Street and Second Avenue) at 10:30 a.m. From there, the rosy-cheeked one will join his elves and jump on his sleigh, which will be led down Victoria Street and through the downtown core from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Those wishing to catch a glimpse of Santa can find a spot anywhere on Victoria Street between Second and Sixth avenues. Along with Santa, at least 75 floats will be featured in the popular parade. Included in the parade will be the return of Kami the Trout, the iconic former mascot of Kamloops who has been making a comeback of sorts on social-media networks. The seven-foot-tall Kami will be leading the float created by the

Shop Downtown! Rotary Club of Kamloops . Here is the legend of Kami the Trout, according to Tourism Kamloops: “Everyone who has lived in Kamloops for more than two decades knows Kami, a green and yellow, 10-gallon Stetson-wearing, gun-toting trout. “He was, in his own ﬁshy way, a Kamloops celebrity, and has made many public appearances at events over the years. Kami quietly swam from the forefront of the public eye in the 1990s and, over time, Kamloops became known as the Tournament Capital. “The pistol-toting Kamloops trout was disarmed, then retired, to live on in the memories of city residents; however, some believe he is still swimming around in the depths of the Thompson Rivers, forever keeping watch over the meeting of the waters. Meanwhile, for those who cannot wait to get into the Christmas spirit, the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, at 7 Seymour Street W., is the place to be this month. Until Nov. 30, Holiday Magic can be found at the centre in the form of one-of-a-kind gifts, all made by local artists.

Help Urban Barn Blanket the Country

AT RIH, JOINT EFFORT BRINGS WARMTH By Dave Eagles STAFF REPORTER dave_eagles@ kamloopsthisweek.com

OYAL Inland Hospital employees are making a difference in the community through the Joint Effort Campaign, putting winter jackets and apparel in the hands of those in need.

Throughout November, RIH staff are donating coats, gloves, tuques, toiletries, blankets and some children’s clothing to the Joint Effort Campaign, which is being organized for the second year by the hospital’s orthopedic clinic staff. This year’s recipient is the CMHAEmerald Centre emergency homeless shelter on West

Urban Barn is staging its second Blanket the Country in Warmth campaign. Until Dec. 8, a new Urban Barn fleece blanket will be given to the Emerald Centre for every $5 donation received. Emerald Centre is a minimum barrier, co-ed emergency shelter that provides accommodation for men, women and children who are homeless. The centre’s main focus is to help homeless individuals and families find homes and support the community to help maintain stable houses. For further information, go online to http://www.kamloops.cmha.bc.ca/node/181. This year, Urban Barn hopes to surpass last year’s successful campaign donation of 8,000 blankets with a new goal of donating 10,000 blankets with the support of its customers. Urban Barn in Kamloops is located at 940-1210 Summit Dr. (in the Columbia Place Shopping Centre) in Sahali. Hours of operation are Mondays to Wednesdays (9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.); Thursdays and Fridays (9:30 am. to 9 p.m.); Saturdays (9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.); and Sundays (11 a.m. to 6 p.m.). For more information on the program, go online to blanketthecountry.com.

Out of the Cold can use you — and donations

Charlene Eden (centre) is more than happy to help co-organizers Christie Bert (left) and Lindsay Gardner package the most recent bunch of donated coats, blankets and winter apparel that is being collected in the Joint Effort Campaign by Royal Inland Hospital Orthopedic Clinic staff during the month of November. Dave Eagles/KTW

Victoria Street. The response so far has been huge, said co-organizer Lindsay Gardner, a licensed practical nurse and orthopedic technician. The clinic sent out a hospital-wide

email encouraging donations and immediately had a positive response. The month of November was chosen because it will help support the local agency at a time when

its needs are ramping up due to the cold weather. For Emerald Centre manager Charlene Eden, the large amount of clothing helps to give her clients a choice

— many for the first time. “They actually get to look through them and find something that fits their own choice,” she said. “It helps give clients respect back.”

The recent cold snap triggered a string of emergency shelter nights at St. Paul’s Cathedral on Nicola Street. Out of the Cold operations manager Sasha Smode said the shelter is seeing demand like never before. Out of the Cold wasn’t the only full shelter that night, Smode said. When she called Emerald House during the deep freeze, she was told the Victoria Street shelter was also full. Thanks to a change in the way B.C. Housing funds the winter shelter, which opens Wednesday nights regardless of the weather, this year Out of the Cold can use its emergency beds once the temperature drops to -7 C. That means the shelter is able to open more nights in a year in which Smode is seeing many new faces coming through the doors, while the shelter’s regular clients are getting older and more susceptible to the cold. To keep up with demand, Smode is hoping to get more volunteers involved in the program, which mainly needs people for two- to three-hour shifts. She is also asking for more donations of winter clothing, as most of the previous donations were snapped up by last week’s visitors. To volunteer, call 250-318-0236. To arrange to make a donation, call Smode at 250320-2500.

Air India’s enduring loss Poet Renée Saklikar to give public reading at TRU Poet Renée Saklikar, who lost her aunt and uncle in the June 23, 1985, bombing of Air India Flight 182, will be in Kamloops this week to perform a public reading from Children of Air India: Unauthorized Exhibits and Interjections. Saklikar’s reading will take place on Thursday, Nov. 28, from 1 p.m. to 2:20 p.m. in room 2742 in the Old Main Building at Thompson Rivers University.

The event is co-sponsored by the university’s Department of English and Modern Languages and the public is welcome to attend. Books will be available for purchase and can be signed by Saklikar. Air India Flight 182 exploded off the coast of Ireland on June 23, 1985, after taking off from

Vancouver International Airport. It was Canada’s worst act of aviation terror, killing all 329 passengers and crew aboard, including 82 children under the age of 13. Saklikar’s aunt and uncle died in the incident. Children of Air India: Unauthorized Exhibits and Interjections is the first poetry book about the bombing of Air India Flight 182 to be published in Canada. Acclaimed poet and writer Wayde Compton says of this poetry collection: “One of the most significant books of poetry produced in this place. A place it remakes. The scope of Children of Air India goes beyond event and into the realm of thought, knowledge and how we must read and write absences forever present.” Children of Air India: Unauthorized Exhibits and Interjections is a deeply personal collection exploring what it means to be Canadian and lose loved ones in an act of mass murder. Decades after the bombing and an investigation culminating in one of Canada’s longest criminal trials in which the accused — Ajaib Singh Bagri of Kamloops and Ripudaman Singh Malik of Vancouver — were acquitted, and after an inquiry produced thousands of documents, Air India continues to haunt not only families and friends directly impacted by the event, but also our collective public psyche. Saklikar is married to B.C. NDP Leader Adrian Dix,. Children of Air India is her debut collection. More Information about Children of Air India can be found online at www.thecanadaproject.wordpress. com and at harbourpublishing.com/title/childrenofairindia.

Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. and the five-act play, with an intermission, runs about two hours. Dave Eagles/KTW

An Enemy a powerful presentation By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

At its heart, An Enemy of the People is about the battle between science and power, a fitting analogy to be performed at a time when scientists throughout the country are being muzzled by the federal government. Dr. Elizabeth Stockman has facts on her side as she battles politician brother Peter Stockman – the mayor of the city – in her quest to shut down a contaminated waterslide park. Peter has on his side power, the support of the people and his greatest weapon — fear. All Elizabeth has on her side is her piece of paper with test results on the water and her sisterin-law and daughter. It’s a powerful confrontation set up by playwright Henrik Ibsen and, in the adaptation by Firehall Arts Centre artistic director Donna Spencer — and now being staged by Thompson Rivers University theatre-arts students — it has become a story that resonates for Kamloopsians in so many ways. The rock of the cast is Wyatt Purcha as the mayor, a man who, only when not being seen by others, will dare to raise his voice to his sister. In public, Purcha has created a man who knows how to manipulate others without appearing to be manipulative. Maddy Henry as the doctor is

at times shrill and then despondent because, as someone whose life is centred around fixing problems, she does not understand until near the end of the play what is really contaminated in her town. Henry is the guide and no doubt many in the opening night audience saw in her some of our own medical staff fighting the proposed Ajax mine. Emily Thibert is simply wonderful as the daughter, someone obviously strongly influenced

background – are perfect. While running a small paper that scrapes through daily with little money, they capture that issue perfectly. Supporting the cast are Matt Hardy as the faithful friend — and someone anyone in a public fight would want in their corner — and citizenry Heidi Robinson, Emily May Olson, Jake Edison and Krystine Lucas. They make for a perfect manipulated angry mob. Then there is TRU alumnus Derek Rein as Elizabeth’s father-in-law. He’s a complete package as an actor, knowing when to use his voice and when to just glare. Ibsen wrote some powerful plays and An Enemy of the People stands out as one of his most dramatic. Under the direction of Wes Eccleston, these students have created a wonderful piece of theatre. The play runs on Friday, Nov. 22, and Saturday, Nov 23. It also runs from Thursday, Nov. 28, to Saturday, Nov. 30, at the Black Box theatre on the Thompson Rivers University campus. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. and the five-act play, with an intermission, runs about two hours. Tickets are $12 and are available at the box office in the Old Main Building where the theatre is located or at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

THEATRE REVIEW by her mother and determined to right wrongs. Celine Majcher as the sisterin-law takes what is in essence a secondary role and, with a look, a frown, a simple hushed voice, creates one of the most compelling characters, a woman who wants to do what is right, but worries about her family. It’s always difficult critiquing actors who play characters in your own profession, but the three newspaper people — Andrew Robertson, Ashley Duggan and Taran Waterous, who also did the soundscape

People have been justly frustrated by project delays for the road and light infrastructure upgrades along the Tranquille Market corridor.

If enough oppose â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in this case, 159 businesses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the organization disbands. However, in the latest review, only 13 businesses did not want to see the NSBIA continue.

NORTH SHORE THIS WEEK

Be acutely aware of all fraudsters The following article is from the Centre for Seniors Information’s fraud awareness committee. The centre is at 1800 Tranquille Rd. in Brocklehurst. It can be reached at 778-470-6000. Is there a difference between fraud and theft? Both are criminal acts, but there is a difference. Fraud has the intention of hiding the criminal act of stealing, whereas theft is not hidden. Theft is a physical act. Fraud is more psychological. A thief just takes things, whereas a fraudster uses deception, concealment or a violation of trust to get what they want. It is this deception that we, at the fraud awareness program, aim to shine a light on to make people aware of the underhanded tricks these criminals use. The presentations are designed to show how these frauds are committed and the steps that can be taken to prevent it from happening to you.

Most frauds rely on trust to work because we trust the person [criminal] is honest and, when this turns out to be wrong, it destroys that faith we have in others. Studies show that well over two-thirds of fraud victims are less willing to trust others. Health can also be affected as victims report higher stress levels and a quarter of them experience depression or feelings of extreme loss or isolation. In one study, one-third of respondents reported they were more vulnerable to physical illness and one in five reported extreme weight loss or gain. Prevention is much, much better than cure and it is to this end the programs are designed make you think before you take actions that could cost you dearly. It is not the intention to destroy one’s faith in one’s personhood; rather, it is to question taking things at face value. There are five programs that cover the more common types of fraud that the public

are likely to encounter. These are identity theft and identity fraud, marketing fraud, money fraud and scams, Internet fraud and funerals. Identity Fraud is the fastest-growing crime in North America, having surpassed drug trafficking. Marketing fraud has been around for a long time, but the criminals are always looking for new angles. In the late 1990s, a number of seniors in Kamloops lost $1.5 million to an unscrupulous investment adviser in an investment fraud. The Internet-fraud program provides information on the threats to your information and the means of protecting it when using computers. The funeral program looks at the costs of funerals. The programs have the most up-to-date information available and are presented in a straight forward manner. All presenters are knowledgeable and have a wealth of background experience. They are willing and able to answer all questions.

Civic just keeps pleasing

By Neil Moore METROLAND MEDIA wheelstalk.com

N AN EARLIER REVIEW of the 2013 Civic Sedan and Coupe, I summed up the experience as “two pleasant weeks of drama-free driving.” That kind of impression, along with Honda’s legendary dependability and high resale values are what attracts so many buyers to the brand, not just this top-selling model. But what if you like a little drama? Not the sort that puts one’s car up on the hoist, but has it jumping off the line, carving corners and otherwise ruffling the eco sensibilities of those who’d rather settle for daily ennui rather than waste a few

vapours of precious petrol. For these rabble-rousers, I present the Civic Si. This evil twin of the mildmannered Sedan and Coupe – and all its other variants – sits atop the Civic pricing ladder that begins with the DX Sedan at $15,440, climbing to the EX-L Navi Coupe at $25,295. All these models – with the exception of the Si – are powered by Honda’s fuel efficient but leisurely i-VTEC 1.8-litre 16-valve four-cylinder that produces 140 hp and 128 lb/ft of torque, mated to either a five-speed manual gearbox or five-speed automatic. The Si, however, gets a much feistier powerplant. At 2.4 litres, this DOHC 16-valve four cylinder with iVTEC delivers 201 horses and 170 lb/ft of torque.

It replaces the previous 2.0-litre “screamer” that you could wind up to 8,000 rpm. Sure, it was fun in small doses to let ‘er wail with each gear change, but the new engine with intelligent valve control (low valve lift at low rpms/ high lift at high revs), reduced friction, high-volume intake manifold and other performance tweaks, delivers a broader torque curve and more available power. All done with a nice rasp from the large-bore tailpipe, thanks to a high-flow, low backpressure exhaust system, exclusive to the Si. Also unique to this model is a single transmission choice – a six-speed manual with short-throw shifter. Its clutch engages smoothly, unlike some pocket rockets, and the stick is light and easy to work. Go hard into a corner, drop into

second gear, and you’ll also notice less wheelspin when powering out. This due to another Si exclusive, a helical limited-slip differential that makes both sedan and coupe more fun than most front-drivers. And although every Civic now enjoys a less mushy ride, the Si suspension benefits from higher spring rates, larger stabilizer bars and lower ride height. Front and rear damper settings are also sporttuned. This results in even less body lean in the curves, and overall better composure. Leave it to Honda to find the right balance between everyday comfort and the kind of ride that’ll rattle your fillings. The previous year’s hard plastic interior has been upgraded with more of the soft-touch variety and a nicer mix of textures, all punched

up with bit of metallic bling. Si trim takes the standard Civic interior up a notch with faux carbon fibre inlays, red-stitched fabrics and special Si badging on the steering wheel and well-bolstered sport seats. The centre console is uncluttered, with a large, standardequipped navigation/infotainment screen on top, and a simple automatic HVAC system below that uses good old-fashioned knobs and buttons. I still appreciate Honda’s twotier instrumentation that places the most-used displays at eye level, with the tach and idiot lights below. I say this with no disrespect to the tach. X See GREAT B14

AUTO MARKET

Great value in Civic coupe X From B13

Honda has extensively revised the Civic interior with fewer hard plastics, more soft touch and a more upscale look for 2013. This Si model has a large navigation screen on top, with simple, intuitive HVAC controls below.

It’s usual place of honour, beside the speedo, is where you’ll find the rev-limit indicator. In the Si, Honda wisely ditched the EcoAssist for a far more entertaining display that lights up sequentially as engine speed rises, and when the second last of six LEDs comes on, the engine is producing maximum power. It’s great for timing your shifts.

Rural Highway Safety and Speed Review November 29, 2013 to January 24, 2014 The Province is conducting province-wide consultation and engagement to seek input about safety and speed limits on B.C.’s rural highways as part of the Rural Highway Safety and Speed Review from November 29, 2013 to January 24, 2014.

Here’s another for all you gearheads. The power monitor, as part of the Civic’s multi-info display (i-MID), provides realtime information on engine output, based on torque and rpm. It’s great for keeners honing their technique, but better to use it on the track and not in traffic. All this performance stuff aside, these Civics provide the usual benefits you’d expect from Honda’s top seller, starting with comfortable seating, with plenty of head and leg room in front, and in the rear of the sedan. The coupe, however, is a tighter fit. Rear legroom is still adequate for most, but due to the rear-sloping

roofline, headroom isn’t ideal for anyone over about five-footeight. And with the car’s high beltline and tiny pizza slice windows, there’s not much of a view. The equipment list, however, in this top-trim Civic leaves little to be desired at its $26,245 price point ($26,250 for the Sedan). This includes automatic climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and cruise controls, Bluetooth, satellitelinked navigation, heated front seats with sixway manual adjust for the driver, aluminum sport pedals, multiangle rearview camera,

seven-speaker AM/FM/ CD/MP3 audio system and more. On the outside are 17-inch alloy wheels, power moonroof, automatic halogen headlights and Si badging. Some believe that the Si, which is a favourite of tuners and boy-racer types, isn’t the Civic you buy once you have kids and responsibilities. I’d argue that this is the ideal time to consider such a vehicle. First of all, you can probably afford it. Secondly, there are a lot of us dads (and moms) who see their ride as something more than a grocery getter, and a taxi to schlep the kids to and from hockey.

How Input Will Be Used Public input, along with information gained through the technical review of provincial highways, will be used to identify and prioritize proposed highway and safety improvements.
