VAPING AT SCHOOLS WILL BE VERBOTEN By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

If they’re doing it now, students at city high schools won’t be vaping much longer. The Kamloops-Thompson school district intends to ban electronic cigarettes following discussion with Interior Health Authority officials. “All the information we’ve receive is they’re a health hazard,” trustee Gerald Watson said. E-cigarettes use battery power to heat up and vaporize — hence the slang “vaping” — a E-cigarettes are battery-operated solution of water, fladevices that are designed to look vouring agents and, like and be used in the same sometimes, nicotine. manner as regular cigarettes.

Lytton’s Sandy Charlie (right) vanished in 1999 and his body was found in 2011. Charlie’s son, Sandy Cleghorn (left), died looking for his father. Following a four-week trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops, a jury has found Rob Smith guilty of manslaughter and interfering with a dead body. Smith will be sentenced on Friday, March 14.

Smith found guilty of manslaughter By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Rob Smith showed little emotion in a Kamloops courtroom on Wednesday, March 12, as a jury found him guilty as charged on one count each of manslaughter and interfering with a dead body. The 46-year-old sighed heavily as the verdict was read, bringing to an end a fourweek trial in B.C. Supreme Court and nearly 15 years of unanswered questions for the family of Sandy Charlie. Charlie was 48 when he went missing from Lytton in December 1999. Smith was suspected in his disappearance as early as 2007 but, court heard, police did not have enough evidence to make an arrest. That changed on Sept. 12, 2011, when an excavator doing work on Crown land near Lytton accidentally unearthed Charlie’s remains. Months later, RCMP launched an undercover Mr. Big sting targeting Smith.

That four-month operation culminated in a videotaped confession in August 2012. Smith was arrested a few days after confessing and has been in custody since. Linda Phillips, Charlie’s former wife, sat through every day of the trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops. She exchanged tearful hugs with family members outside the courtroom following the verdict. “We have closure for what happened,” Phillips told KTW. “I’m relieved now. It’s what needed to be done. I’ll move on.” Phillips’ grief was compounded by the death of her son, Sandy Nolan Cleghorn, who perished while searching for his missing father in January 2000. Cleghorn’s body was found on March 12, 2000, on the Fraser River near Lytton. “It’s closure for all of us — what we had to go through, through all the years, wondering,” Phillips said. “Now we can go on.”

During Smith’s trial, the jury watched the videotaped confession of Smith describing the night of Charlie’s death to an undercover Mountie posing as the leader of a powerful criminal organization. “I ended up killing somebody and I just dug a hole and put him in it,” Smith said in the video, which was filmed at an RCMP covert warehouse in the Lower Mainland on Aug. 10, 2012. In the video, Smith said he beat Charlie into unconsciousness two times in a matter of minutes, upset with him for co-operating with police on a domestic-assault allegation for which Smith was arrested in April 1999. Taking the stand in his own defence, Smith told the jury he knocked out Charlie but did not kill him. He said Charlie woke up after being punched and then left under his own power. Smith is slated to return to court on March 14 to fix a date for sentencing. � Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com to read every story from the trial.

Cost of project more than anticipated By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

FROM KAMLOOPS, A NICARAGUAN CHIEF Kamloops firefighter David Sakaki was given the title of Honourary Fire Commandante of Nicaragua during a March 1 ceremony in the Central American country. High-ranking officials from fire departments across Nicaragua attended the ceremony to salute their new honourary chief. During the ceremony, Commandante Garcia, a member of the Nicaraguan Fire Chiefs Assembly, ordained Sakaki with the fire chiefs’ three-bugle epaulettes (a symbolic ranking worn on the shoulders of the uniform). To date, Sakaki and his Operation Nicaragua team from Kamloops have donated 12 fire trucks and two ambulances to fire departments across Nicaragua. They have also shipped 12 containers full of medical, humanitarian and firefighting supplies, including 10 electric hospital beds that were donated to the Chinandega maternity hospital. Sakaki’s team also provides training and funding for the construction and upgrading of fire stations. Teresa Cline photo

Dudy decides to run for council seat in November election By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thistle Farms owner Dieter Dudy won’t be seeking a rematch with Mayor Peter Milobar come November. Dudy ran for mayor in 2011 and was narrowly defeated by the incumbent Milobar. However, Dudy told KTW he has settled on aiming for a council seat in the Nov. 15 civic election. “More than anything, and it’s completely unrelated to city work, is that fact that I’ve still got a farm to run

here,” Dudy said. “I’ve got nobody who could actually take over and run things for me if I had gone for the mayor’s seat. “So, I wanted to do something that was going to make sense for us and the community at large.” In the 2011 civic election, Dudy was something of a surprise on the ballot, having thrown his name into the ring mostly so Milobar wouldn’t win the race by acclamation. This year, he plans to spend much more time drumming up support and laying the groundwork for a campaign. “I feel that I want to give this my

all,” he said. Dudy said he wants to focus on bringing “reason” to the city’s decisionmaking process. “Sometimes what happens is decisions are made that are based on black and whites as opposed to recognizing there are grey areas — and we have to give some consideration to that,” he said. Dudy is the first non-incumbent to declare his plans to run in the election. Also planning campaigns are eight of the nine Kamloops council members. Nelly Dever is the lone incumbent to decide whether to seek re-election.

DIETER DUDY: Seeking to bring ‘reason’ to city decisions.

The cost to reconfigure the Lorne Street, First Avenue and Landsowne Street intersection downtown will be more than the city has planned to spend — but the $1.8 million project will proceed. Council voted this week to award the tender for the project to Extreme Excavating. Streets and capital projects manager Kristen Meersman said costs for the realignment — which will allow traffic to move directly north and south between downtown and Riverside Park and add more green space in front of city hall — have risen. Meersman the city had initially expected to spend $1.6 million on the project, but “constraints of the area,” particularly the cost of traffic control during construction, inflated the price. Construction on the intersection will begin in April, with major roadwork lasting about three months. Meersman said some work, including landscaping, will take longer, extending the total timeline for the project to about six months.

Thirty-eight teamed up to help Y kids stay strong By Adam Williams

With the help of the 2014 Y Strong Kids Celebrity Challenge, the Kamloops YMCAYWCA will be able to help at least 720 kids in the Tournament Capital. The team challenge — the only one of its type in Canada — came to an end on Tuesday, March 11, the conclusion of four weeks of fundraising and fitness training. It had nine teams of 38 Kamloops celebrities working out and raising money for Strong Kids. Teams included Mission: Slimpossible; RadioActive; The City Haulers; TNT– Terry and Todd; TRU Unbreakables; 3 Bolts and a Nut; Fulton Fury; Investors Group; and Kamloops Insurance. “We just wanted to give back,” said Matthew McCurrach, president of the Central Interior branch of the Canadian Home Builders’

the Investors Group team. He added that, with many organized sports, cost becomes an issue for families. “If they’re healthy from a fitness perspective, then they are better

Interior ranchers applaud Korea trade deal By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A trade agreement with South Korea signed by the federal Conservative government is expected to benefit B.C. exporters, including regional forest companies and ranchers. Prime Minister Stephen Harper travelled to South Korea to sign the free trade deal, the culmination of a decade of talks. While concerns have been expressed

by Ontario’s auto sector, representatives from two B.C. export industries said it will help the province compete with United States. “One of the better aspects of the trade deal is the fact the United States consummated a trade deal before ours,” said Paul Newman, director of market and trade for Council of Forest Industries. “That led to the United States having a definite advantage.”

Over the next two years, the current five per cent tariff on lumber will be eliminated. It will take a decade to gradually remove the eight per cent tariff on panels and oriented-strand board. The industry is already booming due to combined demand from China and the U.S. It is the first freetrade agreement with an Asian country in Canada’s history. South Korea is in

European Union and Australia also signed free trade agreements [with South Korea],” said B.C. Cattlemen’s Association general manager Kevin Boon. “That opened the gap. We basically got the same deal.” Prior to discovery of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, or mad-cow disease) in Canada more than a decade ago, South Korea was the fourthlargest export market for B.C. beef. But, it is now out

a distant third place in a ranking of Asian importers of B.C. lumber, behind China and Japan. The industry is hoping the trade deal, as well as marketing efforts in South Korea, will boost its numbers. The agreement is also expected to make Interior ranchers more competitive by removing the tariff on Canadian beef, putting the ranching industry on an even playing field with the U.S. “The United States,

Man who escaped charges in shooting remains in jail By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man who had a string of firearms charges against him stayed last month after a witness refused to co-operate with the Crown has been denied bail on threats and breach charges dating to last summer. Trevor Wilvers appeared in B.C. Supreme Court for a bail review on Wednesday, March 12, on two counts of uttering threats and three counts of breaching conditions of his release. The 36-year-old was arrested following a June 4 shooting at a home on Brunner Avenue in Brocklehurst, which left a 25-year-old woman with serious injuries to her arm. He was released on bail following a provincial-court bail hearing on July 18, under conditions he stay away from

Kamloops and reside with a family friend in Langley. Crown prosecutor Sarah Firestone said Wilvers paid a visit to Lawrence Green, his former Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre cellmate, at his Kamloops home on July 20. Court heard Wilvers had been storing an RV on Green’s property. When Wilvers was released from jail, the RV was gone. Firestone said Wilvers held a knife to Green’s throat and demanded he fork over $4,000 for the RV. Court heard he also threatened to burn down Green’s house, as well as that of Green’s mother and sister. Green gave Wilvers a sum of cash, court heard, and Wilvers left Kamloops. He was arrested in Langley the following afternoon and found to have more than $2,300 in cash in

LOCAL NEWS A major renovation of John Tod elementary on the North Shore is moving closer to reality. The city has issued an invitation to tender for the estimated $1.8-million project, seeking a contractor to turn the former elementary school into a community centre to house the Kamloops Boys and Girls Club and the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA. The tender closes on March 21. Parks, recreation and cultural-services director Byron McCorkell has said he hopes to see renovations completed and the Boys and Girls Club moved out of its current location in the McArthur Island Youth Centre by this fall. Once the club leaves the island, the city plans to tear down the building, but the Boys and Girls Club isn’t the only youth-centre tenant to deal with — and some of the others aren’t pleased the city is kicking them out. KTW takes a look at their concerns and the city’s plans for the site once the building is empty and demolition begins.

The Seniors

When the McArthur Island Youth Centre shuts its doors for good later this year, the kids will have John Tod elementary — the city’s newest community centre slated to house the Kamloops YMCA/YWCA and the Kamloops Boys and Girls Club. However, for the adult users of the youth centre, the future isn’t so clear. That uncertainty has some of the city’s seniors looking for a way to fight the move — and the demolition of the building meant to follow. “I think that tearing down the building is a total waste of time,” said Frank Smith, a member of the Thompson Seniors Mixed Slo-Pitch League, which uses the building’s gym twice a week. He and other members of the group are angry the city decided to close the building without consulting users besides the Boys and Girls Club. With the city now suggesting it will use the land the centre sits on to build an indoor soccer facility, Frank Smith said slo-pitchers feels like their program is being unfairly pushed off the island in favour of more elite groups. He said the group is working to form a society that can fight the city on the closure. There is also talk of starting a petition. Though not every member of the group is confident they will succeed, league president Don Gordon said the city needs to know it has screwed up its handling of the move. “It’s a matter of saying, ‘How about next time you consult the people that matter?’” he said. The slo-pitch league, which uses the gym for batting and throwing practice and exercises in the off-season, isn’t the only user group struggling with its post-youth centre future. The Kamloops Pickleball Club, which is in the centre Mondays through Fridays, is working with the city and considers the move a done deal, but president Doug Smith said there is a “deep concern” among the

membership. “Pickleball is not a sport that can be played to the top level in an elementary school,” said Doug Smith, who estimates as many as 60 of the club’s 100-plus members would rank among the pickleball elite. “The ceiling is too low, the walls are too close.” That nixed both of the city’s original options for the club — John Tod and Westsyde elementary. While secondary-school gyms have the needed space, the club’s programming runs Mondays to Fridays in the mornings and early afternoons. In the evenings, high-school sports teams have priority. Senior softball players aren’t keen on John Tod either, where they feel their indoor ball practice in a lower-ceilinged room could lead to broken lights and windows. There is an indoor baseball facility on McArthur Island, operated by the Kamloops Minor Baseball Association, but slo-pitch members said the higher rental fees may not be attainable for members, though the city has said there is some possibility it will provide financial assistance if the group will move there. While the pickleball club is close to securing another home — possibly at the Tournament Capital Centre or Thompson Rivers University — Doug Smith said leaving the North Shore puts up barriers to play for lowerincome members. The club charges a small fee for play and the TCC and TRU rely on paid parking. “When you add the two together, it’s out of reach for a lot of senior players,” Doug Smith said. He thinks the city could do more for athletically minded seniors who want to play sports rather than go for a walk at the track at the TCC. “It keeps people active, keeps people healthy,” he said. “And the city is magic on the Tournament Capital Centre, magic on the kids, magic on all these other areas but, right now, there’s a burgeoning group of these retired, active adults with no forum and no facilities.”

LOCAL NEWS Ron and Dorothy Telford, who have written a series of letters to city council on the issue, told KTW they think the city should replace the youth centre with a multi-purpose building that caters to soccer, badminton, pickleball and other sports groups. Badminton players, including Dorothy, are headed to Westsyde elementary once the youth centre closes, but she said the space is likely too small and doesn’t think the city’s suggestion that players walk from the old school to the Westsyde pool to take showers is very realistic. The couple, who also play pickleball, agree seniors are being left out of sports decision-making in the city. “A lot of us are saying, ‘Why do we have to have this stuffed down our throats?’” Ron said. “What we wanted was some say.”

Since it first commissioned a report on the general condition of the youth centre in 2011, the city has admitted that, structurally, the building is sound. What has changed is the city’s desire to shell out cash for a roof replacement and other upgrades required to bring the building up to modern standards and allow the Boys and Girls Club to expand its services to provide day care at the site. “It’s a good building,” then-facilities supervisor Steve McBride told KTW in December 2011. Despite the price tags attached — about $200,000 for a new roof and up to $100,000 for reconfigured, genderneutral washrooms — McBride said it was unlikely the building would be demolished. By the summer of 2012, however, parks, recreation and culturalservices director Byron McCorkell was asking council to use $595,000

set aside for the centre’s repairs to fund work at John Tod, now budgeted at $1.8 million. Estimates as to how much work the youth centre needs vary. Parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said the review put the figure above $900,000 over the next 25 years, with most work needing to take place within the next five years. Besides the washrooms and roof, the building needs a new heating and cooling system (budgeted at $500,000) and a sprinkler system. The building’s windows and doors, and some of its walls, also get fairto-poor marks. In another report to council, Barbara Berger, the city’s recreation, social-development and culture manager, suggested the price tag to fix the building could be $1.5 million if the city also chose to replace the gym, upgrade the centre’s kitchen and add more washrooms. Demolishing the building is cheaper — at $400,000. Putnam said the city is budgeting a bit more than usual for the youth centre’s destruction because there could be asbestos in the floor and ceiling panels.

associations have looked at over the years. A site on Ord Road was also under consideration, but deemed too expensive. “In all discussions, we always came back to the feeling that well, geez, it would sure be nice if we could just concentrate all the soccer activity on the island,” Kamloops Youth Soccer Association president Graham Cope said. “That makes it so convenient for our teams and parents and coaches.” The city has kicked around the idea of creating indoor soccer-training space on the island since the early days of the Tournament Capital Plan more than a decade ago, Putnam said. “When the youth centre relocation and the John Tod development happened, it made logical sense to locate it near the Mac Island sports centre,” he said, adding the two facilities could share

to train and they want to run leagues. With a larger facility, we could co-exist and get more kids out.” Putnam said the city sees the venue as “catching up” with facilities other communities have in place. A McArthur Island address would add an additional layer of prestige to the project. “We’ve got nine of the best soccer fields in the world right now,” Cope said. “To add an indoor training facility to what we have now, it’s going to make us the envy of everyone.”

would be paid through user fees. A private indoor training facility, The Kamloops Dome, operates in the Mount Paul Industrial Park, but both Putnam and Cope say it isn’t enough to fill the needs of the city’s soccer players, in terms of field size and availability during evening hours, when most groups are interested in using the space. The Dome’s owner did not return a request for comment from KTW. “In the evening, the adult groups are fighting with the youth groups,” Cope said. “We’re trying

lobby and parking space. “It made a lot of good sense from an efficiencies standpoint.” Though it would be a tight fit, Putnam said there is room to build a regulation-sized indoor pitch in the youth centre space without encroaching on existing fields. Ideally, the field would be able to be sectioned off into thirds for training purposes and rec games. While there are no hard and fast estimates for a Kamloops facility, comparable training spaces in other communities have cost millions of dollars. Pickering, Ont., built a facility of similar size — though with an added clubhouse and a 100-metre track — for $7 million. A $10-million facility with similar dimensions opened in Halifax in 2012. On the lower end of the cost spectrum, Kelowna opened an indoor-outdoor artificial

turf field last year that will be covered with an airdome between October and April. The field is half regulation size and cost $900,000. Cope said the KYSA has about $300,000 set aside for the project, noting the Kamloops Invitational Soccer Tournament Society also has a significant sum saved up. Other soccer organizations involved in the discussions have smaller amounts of money in reserves for the project. The city might then provide a low-interest loan, while operating costs

Let’s dress up all entrances to the Tournament Capital

REMEMBER THE DAY WE arrived in Kamloops We had spent five days driving from our home in Ontario, starting at the Sarnia/Port Huron border in southern Ontario, schlepping our way north between Lakes Michigan and Huron, before turning the van west. We made our way through Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana, stopping along the way. Eventually, we turned north to continue the trip from Saskatchewan. It was an amazing time during which we drove past tiny lakes, some amazing forests, mile after mile of flat land and big sky. My hubby delights in telling anyone how glad he was to be driving — I had offered to — as we crossed the Alberta/B.C. border. Call me a big-city Ontario girl, but tears fell when we came to the Rockies. The drive from Banff to Kamloops had its own little delights — a deer on the side of the road, gorgeous waterways with boats and swimmers and people sunning, some freaky cliffs (home is flat) and, in the distance, hills and mountains. Then, we got to Kamloops and, as we entered the city, I started to wonder just what kind of place we were now going to call home. There was a sign welcoming people to Kamloops and there was nothing much more. Weeds along the sides of the highway, eventually a lot of car dealerships — but, nothing that

DALE BASS Street LEVEL made me feel the least bit welcome. Apparently, the same feeling exists when people arrive in Kamloops via the airport, since city councillors have been spending a lot of time talking about beautifying that gateway. It’s a great idea and I hope they go ahead with something, be it a rock formation near the entrance to Fulton Field, better lighting, trees, flowers — whatever the task force looking at it decides is needed. And I want the same thing for the east entrance. I’d like to see some more trees and foliage, some public art, some warm fuzzy ambience so those folks who are motoring to the Tournament Capital get the same welcoming glow councillors feel the air-transport passengers deserve. It’s not going to happen, though, and the reason is oh-so simple. Nelly Dever doesn’t live in Dallas. In fact, none of the city councillors do. Steve Puhallo doesn’t live in Dallas and he has no counterpart

representing business in that end of the city, as he does for the North Shore. Dever does live out in that Brocklehurst area and it makes sense she would advocate for that part of Kamloops. The same applies to Puhallo — it’s his job as head of the North Shore Business Improvement Association to advocate for the area. Those of us out at the other end of the city, though, don’t have that kind of representation and, despite ongoing assurances from councillors that they represent all of Kamloops, nobody has said anything yet about our gateway. Perhaps it’s because it’s not an easy fix. There are no walkways for, as Dever put it in a column earlier this year, dog-walkers, runners, strollerpushing moms, cyclists and the lot. There isn’t much of a commercial hub, either, although the Denny’s seems to get an awful lot of business, mostly from long-haul truckers. But, none of that should matter. If we want to create a cozy image that — again, as Dever wrote — “makes visitors want to linger and spread the word about what a great place we have here or perhaps consider relocation here” — we should dress up all entrances to the city. Something to think about as we hit just 247 days to the next municipal election. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com

Hidden specialty or more patronage? If John Les has some secret specialty relating to earthquake preparedness, we’d love to know what it is. We aren’t saying Les does not have such an expertise; we are saying it would be nice if the B.C. Liberal government would tell taxpayers what special skills Les possesses that would have given him up to $140,000 of their money. Les was named cochair of a panel charged with overhauling the province’s earthquake-preparedness measures. His partner was to be Henry Renteria, former director of California’s Office of Emergency Services, so at least Renteria’s appointment makes sense on the surface. But, Les? Unless he has that elusive specialty, it is very hard not to view the brief appointment as yet another patronage gift, yet another former government loyalist joining many other noses in the publicly funded trough. Until he stepped down from politics last year, Les was a career politician since 1987, serving as mayor of Chilliwack and then Liberal MLA for his hometown. He even gave federal politics a stab, running unsuccessfully for the federal Liberals between his mayoral and MLA gigs. What does any of that have to do with helping the public prepare for an earthquake while receiving an astounding amount of money to chair meetings? Nobody seems to know, in particular the government that handed this plum position to one of its own. Which is perhaps why Premier Christy Clark suddenly revoked the appointment yesterday. Obviously, the seismic rumblings from the NDP and others were more than simply whining.

Re: Story: Dever lone councillor opposed to city purchase of Daily News site:

“A place to gather, a place for arts, a community jewel that would make us the envy of cities across Canada and beyond. “For now, just an expensive parking lot at about $30,000 per stall (quick estimate). “It is all about priorities and vision.” — posted by Lyman Duff “Once again, Nelly Dever proves to taxpayers she really has no clue about what is going on around her. “Hospital parking really has no bearing on downtown parking at all.” — posted by Grouchy1

Re: Story: More repairs to Highland Drive:

“What a joke! I thought the water main was replaced as that was one of the many reasons they used to delay the project. “The work is subpar. New pavement has cracks and manhole covers are inset, which is like hitting a pothole. “I drive this road every day. Ask anyone who drives it. “Someone is going to get killed.” — posted by Mike Williams

There is only one taxpayer who pays Editor: In his Feb. 7 View from City Hall column in KTW (‘Would tax-system tweak be welcomed by homeowners?’), Mayor Peter Milobar pondered the question of whether “groups like the CFIB (Canadian Federation of Independent Business) would be willing to look at alternative tax models to help address current property-tax rates and ratios. Of course, the CFIB welcomes discussion that supports our goals of seeing small business taxed fairly and keeping government spending sustainable. The CFIB thanks Milobar for acknowledging our view that the property-tax burden is problematic.

In 2012, for example, commercial property in British Columbia commanded tax rates an average of 2.7 times those of residential properties of equal value. In Kamloops, that ratio was slightly higher, at 2.95 times. The mayor mused about homeowners being permitted to “write off” their home property taxes against “household revenue/earnings.” I admit to not being exactly clear on what these changes would entail, but the essence of the proposal seems to be for other levels of government to adjust their tax revenues so municipal governments can equalize property-tax ratios without sacrificing their own

bottom line. The problem with this proposition, of course, is there is only one taxpayer. Simply shifting revenue streams from one level of government to another does nothing to address the real concern as our members see it — unsustainable municipal government spending. We look forward to continuing a dialogue with all of B.C.’s mayors about these matters, especially in this important year of civic government elections. Mike Klassen director of provincial affairs (B.C.) Canadian Federation of Independent Business

Dever is WE ASKED you be attending grandstanding Will weekend 2014 Tim Editor: It doesn’t surprise me that Coun. Nelly Dever is not in favor of the city buying the Kamloops Daily News site — and it surprises me less she thinks her way is best. By a strong majority vote, I feel confident council is making a good decision in solving the age-old parking problem downtown. Looks like Dever is grandstanding in an attempt to separate herself from her colleagues ahead of the November election. That wouldn’t surprise me, either. Ray Jolicoeur Kamloops

For four bucks a head, we will receive untold misery Editor: It was predicted at some point a third party would enter the Ajax groupthink contingent — and Venture Kamloops has with a report at a cost of $30,000 that is, according to Thompson Rivers University economics professor Peter Tsigaris, a shoddy piece of work. The consultant indicates the city will receive annual tax revenue of $360,000 — or $3.79 per person, with most of the money going to the province for use in the Lower Mainland and to Ottawa to support Quebec and MP Cathy McLeod’s office. Here’s what you get for your four bucks from a 72-item document compiled by a Kamloops think tank: • Ajax would add between $1 billion and $5 billion in additional health costs amid an exodus of doctors for greener and less-polluted pastures. • It would cost between $1 billion and $2 billion to reclaim the contaminated

With this many potential new mines, the world copper consumption can manage without Ajax. • The Ajax tailings pile at the Coquihalla Highway entrance to the city will be the largest and tallest man-made structure in B.C., with 50 storeys (152 meters; 500 feet) of sludge on a threekilometre-by-two-kilometre footprint • Winds will blow the particulate matter laden with heavy metals into the valley. This is called a valley trap and is opposed by the City of Kamloops

Airshed Plan 2012. • The heavy metal-laden air pollution will adversely affect the developing brain in utero, with multiple types of brain pathology and an increase in premature births, autism, attention-deficit and behavioural disorders and lower intelligence. It will also result in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, accelerated ageing and cognitive decline. • Premature death occurs from all types of cancers, lung and heart disease, stroke, increased suicide and depression. The chromosomal abnormalities acquired in utero are passed on to future generations. This is only a short list. Other items will be released as the fact sheet is fully compiled.

Dever lone dissenter on KDN purchase By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Too little for too much money, too quickly. That’s Nelly Dever’s view of a city plan to purchase 60,000 square feet of downtown property to supply parking to the city’s core. Dever was the lone voice on council opposed to the $4.8-million purchase of the former home of the Kamloops Daily News and its parking lot at 393 Seymour St. and 368 Fourth Ave. at council’s Tuesday, March 11 meeting. By a vote of 7 to 1 (Nancy Bepple was absent), councillors voted to move ahead with a borrowing bylaw to purchase the site from Daily News parent company Glacier Media. As part of the sale, the city will take over management of the 120stall parking lot and may tear down the former Hudson’s Bay building on the site to create more stalls. Demolition costs are estimated at an additional $900,000 not included in the purchase price. The city will pay

back the 30-year loan for the lot using revenue generated from the Daily News parking stalls, as well as extra cash brought in by on-street parking rate hikes in 2013 and 2015. Reading from a prepared speech, Dever said she’s not opposed to the site becoming a source of parking for the downtown, but thinks council is rushing into the decision. “The city will have a flat, paved partial block available for parking in the downtown and that’s it,” she said. “And an investment of $6-plus-million, that is what we’ve offered to revitalize Seymour [Street]. “I think we can do better. I think we can do a lot better.” Dever wants to know more about the longterm vision for the site and believes the city should wait and see what impact a new 350-stall clinical-services building and parkade at Royal Inland hospital have on parking downtown. She said she would like the plan more if the city was looking at a public-private partnership with a developer

rather than buying the land on its own. Other councillors rushed to defend the deal. “I think there’s a point where businesses are not going to create something for the city at their own expense, using their own profits to make something good for the city,” Marg Spina said. “We have to look at things and have a vision.” Tina Lange said it would be difficult to get a developer to partner with the city to build something on the lot if the city doesn’t own the property, adding she doesn’t think a better deal will come along downtown. “I’m no longer patient,” she said. “I’ve been sitting at this table for nine years and, for seven or eight of those, we’ve been looking for a solution to the fact there’s no parking downtown.” If the city finds a better site, Lange said she doesn’t think it will have any trouble selling the Daily News lot to someone else. “We’re not making any more land downtown and certainly not

close to the core,” she said. “This is a prime piece of property.” Pat Wallace said that, while the cost for the site is large, she’s comfortable with paying the price through parking fees. “This is money very well spent and the taxpayers don’t have to live in fear that they’re going to have a tax increase because of it,” she said. Under the alternativeapproval process, the city must give eligible electors 30 days to object to the city borrowing the funds for the sale.

MORTGAGE MATTERS PAYING OFF YOUR MORTGAGE FASTER For many Canadian homeowners, one of their highest financial priorities is to pay off their mortgage as quickly as possible. Making extra payments in the early years can shorten the life of a mortgage — and dramatically lower the mortgage interest costs you’ll pay over the long haul. Those extra payments can be a sacrifice, so here are some tips to help motivate you: TIP #1: Start small - Round up your payments Try adding $10 or $20 extra per payment, the amount of interest you are saving will make a difference over time, and it’s relatively painless to part with. TIP #2: Increase your payment annually to the most you can afford Most lenders will allow you to increase your monthly payment by 10%, 15% or even 20%. Increasing your payment means you won’t have to be disciplined to save up a lump sum payment, it will be added to your payment each month, and go directly against your mortgage principle. If you find the payments are too much, most lenders will allow you to reduce your payment to the original contract rate. A small fee may apply.

5 YR.

TIP #4: Invest in your mortgage for tax free savings If you prepay $1000 of your mortgage balance and your mortgage interest rate is 5%, you will save about $50 per year. Now, because of income taxes (estimated at 35%), you actually have to earn $77 to make $50 in real after tax dollars. An argument could be made that your $1000 payment/investment in your mortgage, actually pays a 7.7% return per year, not just 5%. Thats more than most GICs or bonds and the savings are not taxable!

TIP #3: Pay a lump sum whenever possible Lump sum payments are extra payments which go directly against your mortgage principle. Now remember, your monthly payment of interest and principle was based on you making NO extra payments – so in fact, because of your payment, less interest will accrue and now more of your regular monthly payment will go toward paying down mortgage principle.

Boiler upgrade at Raft River will reduce emissions By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A boiler upgrade at a North Thompson school is expected to reduce release of carbon by 49 tonnes a year. KamloopsThompson school trustees have approved spending $236,000 to update heating at Raft River elementary in Clearwater under the province’s carbon-neutral capital program. The boiler uses propane for fuel because natural gas is not available in the North Thompson Valley.

The provincial carbon program has a controversial history. Under then-premier Gordon Campbell, schools and other government agencies were required to pay $25 a tonne for their annual carbon release as part of a program to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. That money was paid to the Pacific Carbon Trust. Critics complained funding from the trust was being used to subsidize big business through tree planting and other offset programs.

Health Canada warns against e-cig use X From A1

Lesosky said they are more likely to be baby boomers or seniors looking to kick the smoking habit. But, he added, university students also count among buyers of a product that’s been picking up in sales. Health Canada advises Canadians not to use electronic-smoking products, arguing they have not been adequately studied for health consequences. The IHA has a similar policy, also noting they may make smoking socially acceptable. Watson said the district’s policy committee heard those concerns and is taking preventive action. “We’re trying to prevent things that may cause harm from entering our schools,” he said. “Everything we’ve heard is negative, but not as dramatic as smoking.” While nicotine is not legally available in Canada, Lesosky said he has little doubt his customers are purchasing nicotine-filled cartridges through American online retailers because he’s selling far more machines than nicotine-free cartridges. “I’d say 90 per cent of our customers are doing that. We sell tons of the machines . . . It’s [nicotine] coming in one way or the other.”

Enactus excels in Alberta Enactus Thompson Rivers, a non-profit student volunteer organization at TRU, did well at the 2014 Enactus Western Regionals Exposition in Calgary. Enactus was first runner-up in the TD Entrepreneurship Challenge and second runner-up in the Capital One Financial Education Challenge and Scotiabank EcoLiving Green Challenge. Thirty-eight Enactus students travelled to Calgary, where 19 post-secondary schools competed. Since September, the 112-member Enactus team has put in 11,407 volunteer hours through its five programs. The team will return to Calgary in late April to compete at the 2014 Enactus Canada National Exposition against more than 50 Canadian teams. Enactus Thompson Rivers is sponsored by Thompson Rivers University School of Business and Economics.

Under the new program, funds paid by districts and health authorities, for exam-

ple, is placed into a fund and the money paid back for capital projects that improve

the province. Art McDonald, the school district’s director of facilities and trans-

energy-efficiency. The school district received approval for the boiler upgrade from

portation, said installation of the condensing boiler is slated for this summer.

“With all the ups and downs over the years, it’s been tough for Kitimat. We need some stability. We need to know that everything’s going to be good for a long time, not just a year or two. The Northern Gateway project will bring that stability. I’m glad it’s going to bring jobs, but also training. Wouldn’t it be great if our kids could get more education here, rather than heading off to Vancouver or Calgary? For me, the best thing about living in Kitimat is that you can go hiking or ﬁshing on your way home from work. It’s a special place to live.

TIB wants in on emergency-water plan By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

AZONTO ACTION AT TRU Nigerian international student Amarachi Njimogu brings a bit of her popular Azonto dance culture from Ghana to the Afro-Caribbean dance workshop at Thompson Rivers University on Wednesday, Mar. 12, during the university’s annual International Days.

Poppy thief sentenced to probation A 22-year-old who admitted to stealing from poppy boxes before Remembrance Day last year has received a conditional sentence order and probation. Skylar Murphy-Nukina pleaded guilty to three counts of theft under $5,000 as well as two breaches of court orders. Some of the charges stem from poppy-box thefts on Nov. 12. He has no criminal history. Murphy-Nukina was given a 90-day conditional sentence order along with nine months of probation. A warrant was issued for his arrest after he failed to show up for a court date in December. Court heard Murphy-Nukina suffers from mental-health and substance-abuse issues.

Tk’emlups Indian Band Chief Shane Gottfriedson said his band wants in on a City of Kamloops plan to tap the North Thompson River for emergency use. At a joint meeting between the band and city councils this week on the Tk’emlups reserve, Gottfriedson said the band wants to have “a partnership and a working relationship” on the project. “I think we all have an interest in a secondary water source,” he said. The city had originally hoped to start construction on the $10-million intake, located at 720 Yates Rd., in 2015, but director of development and engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski said a 2016 start date is looking more likely as the city deals with provincial regulations and consultation requirements. All but three per cent of properties hooked up to the city’s utility services rely on the South Thompson River for water. Were the river to become contaminated by a trail derailment or other disaster, the city would have nowhere to turn for a clean water source under its current setup. While it’s highly unlikely the city would need to use its emergency supply, Kwiatkowski said most communities don’t take that gamble. “It’s pretty rare to not have a backup system,” he said.

“Every other community has two or three. Where I came from [Terrace], we had two.” Kwiatkowski said the system would provide about 40-million litres of water per day, enough to meet the city’s demand with water restrictions in place. The water would not get the same level of treatment as that from the South Thompson, but would be chlorinated. The city has submitted a water-licence application and is working with the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office to secure permits for the project, but still has more consultation to do before it can secure approval. Gottfriedson said the band has several questions it wants answered about the ecological impact of the project, including its effect on bank erosion in the North Thompson. Early studies also identified some possible archeological findings, Kwiatkowski said. The city has hired a consultant to do more archeological work at the Yates Road site this spring. Kwiatkowski said more discussions are needed if the Tk’emlups band does want to hook up to the city’s emergency intake. “If they’re interesting in tying in to ours, that’s huge dollar to cross the river with a connection for an emergency intake,” he said.

T’Kemlups Indian Band Chief wants a “partnership and working relationship” with the city as the latter seeks to use the North Thompson River for use in times of an emergency. However, city staff say crossing the river and hooking up the TIB is an expensive proposition.

A ROCKY APPETITE

Sometimes, having an appetite for adventure doesn’t go down so well. Rocky, a curious puppy, learned that lesson the hard way. The two-and-a-half-month old lab/pit bull-cross, managed to swallow a whole lot more than he could manage and needed extensive — and expensive — surgery to survive his gastronomic gaffe. Born on Christmas Day, Rocky was recently surrendered to the Kamloops BC SPCA shelter. “Rocky’s inquisitive nature led him to somehow swallow a piece of plastic that appears to be from a chair leg, as well as some rocks,” said Kamloops SPCA branch manager Charleen Holloway. “He’s such a playful, energetic, mischievous little guy. And he’s cute as well as resilient. It was touch and go during the surgery, but he pulled through and is recovering well.” The surgery and related care is estimated to cost between $1,500 and $2,500. Now in foster care while he recuperates, Rocky will take approximately six weeks to recover before he’ll need a new home. A non-profit organization, the BC SPCA relies almost entirely upon donations to help take care of animals. Those interested in helping Rocky, or other animals like him in need at the Kamloops shelter, can donate online at spca.bc.ca/kamloops or in person at the branch, 1211 Eighth St. on the North Shore.

Rocky’s appetite led him to have emergency surgery, but the puppy is now recuperating at the Kamloops branch of the BC SPCA. Above is an X-ray showing the objects — plastic and some rocks — on which the canine chowed down.

Residents of trailer park upset with management By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Two dozen mostly seniors are angry with the management where they live — and they’ve started plans to deal with it. The group from Sunnyside Heights and Apple Valley RV parks on Ord Road met earlier this week at the Centre for Seniors Information in a gathering facilitated by the centre’s executive director, Brenda Prevost. The complaints were many, from where sheds are located to the size of dogs to what size trucks can be driven into the two areas to never being able to speak with either park owner. Running through the issues was a constant theme of homeowners finding Joy Skrypnek, manager of both parks, to be difficult to deal with. The meeting was sparked

‘We don’t want drug dealers and people like that moving in.’ — manager of Sunnyside Heights trailer park on Ord Road

NORMA WILLS: Has been ordered to remove her home from trailer park

by Norma Wills, who has been ordered to remove her home from Sunnyside for late pad-rental payments. Wills has said the order, issued after an arbitration hearing with the residential tenancy branch, is part of ongoing harassment by

Skrypnek and park owner Grant Cho. Wills said some of the late payments were because her social-assistance cheques were late, with the mostrecent one due to a theft of cash from her purse. The number of late payments is in dispute; Wills said there have been four while Skrypnek said there have been six. Wills said two were because she refused to pay her rental fee the day before it is due, as she said she was told to do by Skrypnek. Prevost said she’s been receiving calls from the residents at the parks for months and was impressed with the turnout. Of the 24, 15 indicated they were from Sunnyside. One of the others was

realtor Darlene Morris of Royal LePage Westwin, who told the group she is finding it impossible to sell any of the units she has listed there because of disagreements with Skrypnek. Morris said she has asked for a list of park rules to show prospective buyers and been refused and that Skrypnek has said she retains final approval of anyone buying a unit. Skrypnek said the list of rules would be presented to any buyer when they fill out an application to move to the park and, as for approval, she said that’s not unusual for multi-family areas like stratas or rental units. “We don’t want drug dealers and people like that moving in,” she told KTW. “Doing reference checks,

that’s commonplace.” She expressed surprise people have complained about her management style and disagreed she is confrontational or bullying. Brandi Allen, executive assistant at the seniors centre, has written a letter in support of Wills in which she said she has “been present when she [Skrypnek] has made threats, called names, raised her voice and refused to listen to reason and legal rights.” Each Sunnyside resident at the meeting said Cho has not acknowledged or responded to their calls and registered letters. When KTW called Cho, he answered immediately but, when advised it was a newspaper calling, said he had no comment.

k will we do at Spring Break! me Great Ideas!

Wills said she is applying to the B.C. Supreme Court for a stay of the order of possession and cannot understand how she can lose the home she owns outright because of a late payment. She said she obtained an emergency loan from the provincial government and that amount, along with some money from a friend, was given to Skrypnek just days after the deadline, but the park manager refused to accept it. Skrypnek said she was unwilling to allow another late rental payment. Prevost said she puts a lot of credence in what the group have told her and raised at the meeting, noting “too many people have these concerns.” She said she’s offered the centre for future meetings of the group or the five-person committee it established to move forward with their issues, “but this is their fight.”

Komljenovic new KTTA prez By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

MEET KAMLOOPS’ NEWEST MILLIONAIRE Dorothy Lahola of Kamloops is feeling like a million bucks this week after winning that much money in the March 8 Lotto 6/49 draw. Lahola, who had a dream that she won money a week before the draw, bought the winning ticket at the Parkcrest convenience store in Brocklehurst. Lahola and her husband plan to use some of the windfall to renovate their home. The Lotto Max draw on Friday, March 14, will have a jackpot of at least $100 million, with a $50-million main prize and 50 $1-million prizes for those matching all seven numbers drawn in the specific draws.

David Komljenovic is back as president of the KamloopsThompson Teachers’ Association (KTTA) — but he said he’s not there for the long haul. Komljenovic was acclaimed president on Monday, March 10, when nominations closed and no one else put forward their name. He held the position from 2007 to 2010, stepping down to become involved on the provincial level through the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF). Komljenovic said he came forward to ensure some stability at the top of the union and to help build the union and encourage other teachers who have been afraid to get involved to take a stronger role with the KTTA. Outgoing president Jason Karpuk told his members at last year’s annual general meeting he would not be standing for re-election this year. Komljenovic, also a member of the provin-

cial bargaining committee, believes teachers will be more inclined to stand up following a successful court challenge of the provincial government, the revelation during that lawsuit that the B.C. Liberal government tried to force a strike during the last bargaining period and the sense the public is on the side of teachers. The BCTF successfully challenged government legislation that impacted its ability to negotiate class size and composition. In the ruling, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sudan Griffin declared the government’s action a violation of teachers’ rights. It was the second time the courts have

DAVID KOMLJENOVIC: Back in the saddle again — but not for a long time.

dealt with the issue. After the BCTF won its first challenge, the provincial Liberal government enacted new legislation that was almost the same as the former law, leading to the second challenge. The province subsequently obtained a stay of the ruling, paving the way for an appeal. If teachers are angry, Komljenovic said —

and he acknowledged they are — it’s because of the bad-faith bargaining. But, he said, that fact has also buoyed their belief the public is behind them and has given the BCTF renewed strength to deal with the government during contract talks. The 89 per cent strike vote obtained last week has also boosted their optimism negotiations will have to proceed fairly, he said. While Premier Christy Clark has said a 10-year contract with teachers must happen, Komljenovic said the B.C. Teachers’ Federation isn’t inclined to agree to lock things down for a decade “unless there are the right conditions.”

Experts in homelessness reduction from around the country are headed to Kamloops this month as the city looks to kickstart a new approach to getting vulnerable people housed. On March 28 the city will host a “housing first” forum from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Interior Savings Centre along with the Kamloops Homelessness Action Plan and HomeFree — the community advisory board that allocates federal homelessness dollars for the city. “The theory of housing first is essentially that in order for people to be effectively supported to their improve their mental health, to tackle their additions issues, they need first to be housed,” said Claire Macleod, the city’s housing and homelessness project manager. The theory isn’t a new one, Macleod said, but it’s not as

well-known in Kamloops. Among the day’s speakers are Cathatine Hume, director of housing and homelessness for the Mental Health Commission of Canada — an organization that has conducted the broadest Canadian research on the housing-first theory. In the course of its research the commission launched housing-first projects in city’s across the country, including Vancouver. Housing-first participants were provided with subsidized apartments and support services to deal with addictions and mental health issues. A similar number of participants in each community were provided only with the support resources typically available to the homeless. Alina Turner, a former vice president with the Calgary Homeless Foundation, will also speak about the Alberta city’s success in reducing homelessness using housing-first strategies. Speakers on youth and

aboriginal homelessness round out the day. “Our hope is basically to ignite the interest in participating in this movement and hoping that everyone walks away really inspired,” said Macleod. “It doesn’t mean everyone will be operating a housing-first type program, but it means that everyone knows that housing shouldn’t be dependent on someone’s addiction or someone’s mental health. That everyone has the right to housing.” The forum is open to everyone, not just members of the non-profit sector — and Macleod said she’d like to see more community awareness of the approach. “Ultimately it’s about bringing the community together to ensure there is readiness and appetite to see it really hit the ground running in the community,” she said. To register for the forum contact Macleod at 250-838-3758 or cmacleod@kamloops.ca.

The City of Kamloops has some big shoes to fill in its transit department. Erin Felker has left her role as transportation planner for the city to take a job at BC Transit. Felker was with the city through a major expansion of transit in 2012, which added 8,000 new hours of bus service, as well as the construction of a state-of-theart $15-million BC Transit garage. The city is also about to lose another senior staffer. Streets and capital projects manager Kristen Meersman is headed to the Lower Mainland for a job in April.

Poll finds ambiguity on war CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A new a poll suggests Canadians are ambivalent about the country’s military legacy from Afghanistan. Two-thirds say it is too soon to call the decadeplus military involvement a success or failure, while only 58 per cent realized the Canadian Forces actually had, until Wednesday, March 12, a continuing military mission there. The Canadian Press-Harris/Decima survey of 1,051 respondents was conducted from Feb. 20 to

Feb. 24 and is considered accurate plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. The Canadian army formally withdrew from Afghanistan this week as the last 100 soldiers who served on the three-year-old training mission lowered their flag. The Canadian death toll in Afghanistan was 158 soldiers, one diplomat, one journalist and two civilian contractors. Canada’s military engagement in Afghanistan began with the unpublicized arrival of special forces in late 2001, following the Sept. 11, 2001, al-Qaeda terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C.

Independent Quebec wants to use Canuck buck CANADIAN PRESS

QUEBEC — An independent Quebec wants to keep using the Canadian dollar and hopes to have a seat at the Bank of Canada, according to Parti Quebecois Leader Pauline Marois. The Quebec economy is in good shape and it would be beneficial to Canada for Quebec to be involved with the dollar and the central bank, Marois said ahead

of the April 7 provincial vote. “We could wish to have a seat at the Bank of Canada, but we accept the fact it is the bank’s monetary policy that would apply,’’ she said. “There are eight-million people living here in Quebec and we have an economy that is a rich one. “We have a lot of consumers. We have a lot of business organizations on our territory and I think it is important to have a

place at this level [the Bank of Canada]. But, if it is not the case, we will see.’’ In reiterating the PQ’s longtime position that Quebec could use the Canadian currency, Marois pointed out European countries are independent, but share the euro. The PQ leader also promised to reduce Quebec’s debt to under 50 per cent of gross domestic product by 2018-2019. It is now at 54.3 per cent.

NDP off Richter scale with Les appointment CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA — British Columbia’s governing Liberals are fending off accusations of blatant political patronage after appointing a former cabinet minister to a high-paying job overseeing an overhaul of the province’s earthquake-preparedness measures. John Les, a one-time solicitor general in the B.C. Liberal government who left politics last year, will earn up to $140,000 as he co-chairs the earthquake consultations. He will work alongside a former emergency official from California. Les retired from politics last year and was quickly appointed to the Farm Industry Review

PM says strike hurts trade

Board, for which he receives up to $60,000 a year. He is also eligible for a taxpayer-funded pension for his time in the legislature. “The only thing that he qualifies for is being an ex-Liberal minister, a Liberal insider,’’ said Shane Simpson, an NDP critic. “There’s some claim he has particular expertise. There’s certainly no evidence of that. This is simply more pork-barrelling.’’ The Liberals, in turn, defended Les’s appointment and swatted away questions about whether anyone else was considered for the job. Les, who was mayor of Chilliwack from 1987 and 1999, was elected to the legislature in 2001.

He was first appointed to cabinet as minister of small business and economic development by then-premier Gordon Campbell in 2004 and was shuffled to the solicitor-general portfolio the following year. Les left cabinet in 2008 amid accusations he improperly benefited from a land deal while mayor of Chilliwack, though a special prosecutor later cleared him of wrongdoing. Campbell welcomed Les back into cabinet in 2010 as a parliamentary secretary. Les registered as a lobbyist last year for the Seabird Island Indian Band and Belkorp Environmental Services Inc., according to the province’s lobbyist registry. Among his intended lobbying

VANCOUVER — Prime Minister Stephen Harper is taking aim at striking truckers at Vancouver’s port, accusing them of blocking important trade for Canada. Harper is in B.C. after a trip to South Korea to sign a free trade deal and the strike came up on Wednesday, March 12, during a friendly questionand-answer session in front of a business audience in Vancouver. Roughly 1,400 unionized and non-unionized truckers, who don’t work directly for the port, are on

targets is Justice Minister Suzanne Anton, who announced Les’s lucrative appointment this week and has been spearheading the government’s defence. The lobbyist registry doesn’t indicate whether Les has actually met Anton in his lobbying capacity. Anton said Les has valuable experience from his time as mayor and solicitor general. “We chose two people who have the expertise we needed to conduct the consultations,’’ she said. “They’re knowledgeable about government. They’re knowledgeable about emergencies. Mr. Les, as a former solicitor general, has terrific experience.’’ Anton ignored repeated ques-

strike in a dispute that has largely focused on wages. Harper said he is concerned about the strike, which he said is affecting a major trade corridor. He said it’s not acceptable for what he described as a small number of people to be blocking important trade for British Columbian and Canadian businesses. Last week, the federal government appointed an experienced labour mediator to conduct an independent review aimed at resolving issues of disruptions in trucking operations and report back by May 30.

tions about how the government chose Les or whether anyone else was considered for the job. She said Les’s role as a lobbyist doesn’t represent a potential conflict of interest, though she didn’t explain how she reached that conclusion. Les could not be reached for comment. The consultations will be cochaired by Henry Renteria, the former director of California’s Office of Emergency Services. Both Les and Renteria will receive the same hourly rate, said Anton, though Renteria’s salary is capped at $100,000. Anton said Renteria’s wages are capped at a lower level because he’s not expected to attend as many local consultations as Les.

RONALD “RON” PETER BOHN

July 6, 1944 – March 11, 2014

JOHN MILBERS 1955-2014

The family & friends of John Milbers are deeply saddened at his passing March 2, 2014. To all who knew him, John (Freak) was known as a true free spirit. He touched many lives with his non-judgmental spirit, unconditional acceptance of all. John gave us the amazing gift of allowing us to be at ease, to be ourselves in his presence. We will remember him for his kind, unpretentious nature, his big heart, easy smiles, and whole body laughs. John will be greatly missed by his dad Peter, brother Kim, niece Annette and family, niece Tina and family and many friends. On Sunday March 16th between 1:00 and 4:00 friends are welcome to gather to have a drink in John’s honour at the McCracken’s Pub in Valleyview.

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ron Bohn on March 11, 2014. Ron is lovingly remembered by his wife Judy of nearly 49 years, son Michael of Fort St. John and daughter Marilyn (Alex) of Kamloops. Also left to mourn are grandchildren Reece, Megan (Matt), Tyler, Brannon, Emily and Morgan, great-granddaughter Maria, nieces and nephews, as well as many friends and relatives and his beloved cat, Snuffy. Ron is predeceased by his father, George and his mother, Tillie. Ron had a strong work ethic and was employed at Highland Valley Copper for 35 years. After his retirement, you could find him puttering in his workshop and he was known as the neighbourhood handyman. He also loved to spend his time in his garden and to be out in his boat fishing. He was an unselfish, inspiring man with strong beliefs. He had a sense of humour like no other and he was never reluctant to share his opinions on politics. If you were to ask him what his biggest accomplishment was in his life, I believe he would say it was his family and being able to provide for them. His family meant the world to him, and even when he got ill, his family was still his main priority until his final breath.

A life too short, but a life well-lived. We would like to thank Dr. Gabriel, Dr. Thomasse and Marissa, Dr. Van Heerden and Dr. Tevendale and all the wonderful nurses and staff at the Kamloops Cancer Clinic and at RIH 6 South. To all the angels at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, a huge sense of gratitude and appreciation for making Ron’s final days of this journey as peaceful and as comfortable as possible. For all of the friends and family that visited, called and shared this journey with Ron, we cannot thank you enough for your support and love. A Celebration of Ron’s Life will be held on March 15th, 2014 at 1pm at the Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites, 675 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, BC. Should friends or family desire donations in Ron’s name may be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House .

I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Obituaries & In Memoriam NANCY ELIZABETH MILLAR Feb. 8, 1927-March 1, 2014

She is survived by her sons, Leslie, Larry, Lyle, Michael, and daughter Cathie. Joan also leaves her sister Debra, brother James, along with many cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She is sorely missed by her loving family — her brother Frank (Maryanna), sons Michael (Margaret), Stephen (Tammey) and Darius and daughter Lissa (Bruce). Mom was proud of her adored grandchildren, Molly, Katie, Austen, Allison, Miles, Alex, Daria and Jackson and her adopted grandkids Lacey, Turtle, Merry, Valient and Jules. She was a treasured aunt and a good friend to many. We take comfort in the family times spent at the Cordilleran Ranch, the product of our parent’s remarkable partnership. Mom was born in Trail, B.C, the 3rd child of Frank and Molly Willis. Idyllic summers were spent on Christina Lake, where memories of her departed sisters, Mye and Doe still linger. She and Dad were married on August 27, 1947 and his career as a mining engineer took them from Vancouver to the Yukon, Edmonton and then Calgary, where he returned to university to become an archaeologist. Mom cared for their wild bunch and made the best cookies in the neighbourhood, enabling Dad to soar in his Cessna 180 and excavate prehistory. In 1969 we moved to Saskatoon, where Dad taught at the U of S. Mom worked as a school secretary, served as volunteer education coordinator for UNICEF, pursued her interest in ethnobotany and was active in Voice of Women. Upon retirement, they moved to the Cordilleran Ranch and had a few short years together. Mom filled her gardens with food and flowers. They took their grandchildren on adventures, cultivated ginseng and spun gold. Mom was a voracious reader and the most well behaved member of her book club. She was a generous supporter of the arts and social justice and shared her life with a succession of cherished canine and feline companions. In recent years, she endured a series of serious health problems with patient stoicism and resilience. She found solace in a good novel, a box of chocolates and her dear little cat. In the end it was her heart that failed her. Friends and family are invited to gather and celebrate her life on Sunday, March 16 at 1 p.m. at Heritage House at 100 Lorne Street in Kamloops. Our thanks to the many people who have expressed their sympathy with flowers. Those who wish an alternative might consider a donation to the SPCA, UNICEF or the Council of Canadians.

Kelly Patrick, beloved daughter of Wendy and Jerry Patrick, mother of Baron and Rainer, sister of Greg, has passed away suddenly at home, leaving her extended family, ex-husband, and hundreds of friends and acquaintances missing her. Kelly was born in North Vancouver on January 18, 1969 with a full head of bright red hair and an inborn drive and independent spirit. Her family moved to Kamloops, where she completed her schooling and gained a circle of lifelong friends. She earned her Early Childhood Education diploma and discovered her gift for enriching the lives of little children. In Whitehorse she began her cherished career teaching children to swim. She recently received her 15-year certificate and congratulations from the City of Whitehorse for her dedication at the Canada Games Centre Pool. Kelly loved the small town energy and friendliness of Whitehorse. She was born for the Yukon and the challenge of its winter weather. She could never live where couldn’t shout across any street, “Hi, how are you?”

November 27, 1934 – March 7, 2014 Our beloved Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, sister and friend passed away peacefully on Friday March 7, 2014.

Our family is reeling with the loss of our dear mother and grandmother, Nancy Millar, who gracefully took her leave on March 1, nearly 20 years after she lost our Dad, James Francis Verchere Millar, to cancer.

KELLY PATRICK

JOAN VESPER

She was predeceased by her first husband, Eugene Johnson (1971) and second husband, William Vesper (1975). She was also predeceased by her eldest daughter, Susan (2009). Joan was born in North Vancouver, BC, where she had many fond memories. At the age of 12 Joan, along with her parents Donald and Dorothy, moved to Keremeos, BC and then onto Monte Lake, BC. It was in Monte Lake where she met and married her first husband Eugene (Gene). They settled in Kamloops, BC and began to raise a family. They loved to enjoy outdoor activities such as camping and fishing. Gene passed away from Multiple Sclerosis in 1971. A few years after Gene’s death, Joan married William (Bill) Vesper. Their son Michael was born in May of 1975 and Bill passed away in December of that same year. Joan moved to Clearwater, BC in the early ‘80s and this remained her home until her stroke in 2013. She had a real love for life and laughter. She loved her family and friends and had a strong faith in Jehovah God. Special thanks to Dr. Howie, the staff at Ponderosa Lodge, and to Gemstone Care facility in Kamloops, BC for their outstanding care and compassion. There will be no formal service by request. Because of the special place in Joan’s heart for animals of all kind, and should friends desire, donations can be made to any animal welfare agency of your choice.

ANNIE FLORENCE LOCKERBY (DALIN) APRIL 3, 1920 – FEB. 28TH, 2014 Passed away peacefully at Talarico Care Home in Castlegar. She was predeceased by her husband David Lockerby and is survived by her brothers Bill and Karl Dalin of Celista; 8 children: Karen Webber (Brock Giles), Frances Lockerby, Beverley Poole (Don), Bernice Brockman (Richard), Linda Weberg (Kim), Christine Ransom (Ken), David Lockerby Jr. (Lisa) and Janice Avis (Doug); 16 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Annie, the 2nd of 7 children, grew up in Celista on the homestead that was pioneered in the early 1900’s by her parents, Margaret and John Dalin. Annie had fond memories of her childhood despite the hard times of the Great Depression. She would often entertain us with her recollections of the “olden days” and had an amazing ability to recall an endless number of dates, ditties, poems and stories. In 1942 she graduated as an RN from Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, and worked in Chilliwack prior to her marriage to Dave in 1946. Soon after, they built a home in Celista and raised their family. Hard work provided a bountiful harvest to family and f r i e n d and never deterred them from attending a Saturday night dance. In retirement, they enjoyed travelling across Canada, the United States and overseas. In 1989, they moved to Kelowna to be closer to family. Dave passed away in 1990. Annie continued to reside in Kelowna until 2012 and then made her final move to Castlegar. As a widow, she was always in the loving presence of family. Annie will be remembered for her good, kind, dependable nature, sense of humour and common sense. She enjoyed gardening and preserving, photography, painting and needlepoint, bridge, crib, crosswords and scrabble, a good musical, a romantic novel, and was famous for her home made bread which she made well into her 80’s. A celebration of Annie’s life will be held at the Celista Hall on June 29th, 2014 at 1:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice or the Gospel Mission of Kelowna, the Salvation Army or the Kelowna General Hospital.

December 26, 1923 – March 6, 2014 Harold passed away peacefully in the early hours of March 6th at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, British Columbia. He was 90 years of age. He will be greatly missed by his wife, Eileen of 56 years; sons Randy, Alan (April), daughter Jennifer (Brian) and grandson Adam. Born and raised in Glenholm, Manitoba, Harold grew up with three brothers; Stan, Bill and Ben and two sisters, Edith and Dorothy. Stan still lives in Selkirk, Manitoba and Edith resides in Ottawa, Ontario. Harold and Eileen met while working at Eaton’s in Winnipeg, married in 1958 and later moved out west, finally settling in Kamloops in 1966. Harold worked for Woodward’s for many years and later for Arrow Transportation Ltd. He always enjoyed the company of people and in retirement, spent many hours volunteering for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, Ponderosa Lodge and School District 73. Of great enjoyment to Harold was his participation and volunteer time spent with the Cattle Drive in the 90’s. He rode in nine of the events and made many friends. Many thanks to Dr. Stinson and Dr. Stoltz, and the very caring and compassionate staff on ward four-north at Royal Inland Hospital. A memorial service is not planned but should friends desire, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation in his memory.

Oliver (Ollie) Stanley Weisbeck

September 3, 1939 - March 6, 2014 Oliver passed away peacefully on Thursday March 6, 2014. Dad was born in Prelate Saskatchewan, the youngest of nine children. Dad received his degree in education from Simon Fraser University and was a substitute teacher for three years before starting with School District 73 in 1980 until his retirement in 2002. In June 1966 Oliver married Sylvia Pawlyshyn and they had two sons Robert and Jason. Ollie loved fishing, golfing, reading, playing cards and being with his sons, friends and the different clubs that he loved. He will be lovingly remembered by his sons Robert, and Jason, his sister Isabel Kost and Joan Weisbeck, brother John and sisterin-law Mary Weisbeck; as well as many nieces and nephews. Prayers will be recited on March 14, 2014 at 1:30pm at the Holy Family Catholic Church, 2797 Sunset Drive Kamloops in Valleyview followed by a reception at the Eagles Hall, 755 Tranquille Rd. at 3pm. He is walking with his good friend Dave Koch, fishing pole in his hand and his dogs beside him.

Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee. Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... and you loved me. Author Unknown

The politics of the right-to-life debate

N THIS AGE OF unprecedented decline in moral culture, God’s people need to take a hard look at the issues of the day and ask, “What does the Bible say about it?” Seen in this light, the 88 per cent support given in favour of euthanasia at a recent political convention is jarringly disconcerting to all who stand for right to life. If we were to simplify our anxieties about what is going wrong with regard to morality, we could point to two major factors that have contributed to the decline in Western moral climate: • Theory of evolution • Secular humanism According to the Bible, man at his best is still a fallen creature. We have a susceptibility to moral depravity and sin. From a human perspective, these two factors have affected us more than we may ever know. The results of this twopronged attack on biblical

The Right to life is not an the populous for acceptance of individual’s right to life. control of human destiny by

It is a gift from the Almighty God. He is in control of it from the beginning to the end, regardless of means (Isaiah 44:24). God created us, and for that very reason human life is sacred. • We must understand God’s control over human life (Job 34:14-15). The secular humanists and all those who oppose sanctity of human life violently oppose the idea that God is sovereign over human life. Every believer who truly understands the right to life issue, argues for it from the standpoint of God’s sovereignty over human life. God is in control of life and death, not man, but God. It is not our place to “play God” and take human life or hasten death. • We must understand God’s concern for human life (Job 10:8-12; Matthew 6:25-26). The fact that God is concerned about human life should make us concerned about

right to life. God cares for and is concerned for human life much more than plants or animals. We are of more value to Him than things. We are of more importance to Him than any bird, any mammal, or anything in animal kingdom. We might add that babies in wombs or the “invalids” in hospices are much more important to Him than the whales trapped in Arctic ice. The founding charters of many Western nations say that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without the due process of law. Yet, those who wrote those charters perhaps never imagined that those very last few words would be used to deprive people of life, liberty and property. Biblically speaking, the most crucial of these is the basic Right to life. Narayan Mitra is a chaplain at Thompson Rivers University. narayanmitra@hotmail.com

Bright lights, Crashed Ice

Not just a game

Adrenaline-junky Kamloops woman chasing extreme-event gold By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

MAGINE FLYING DOWN A 600-metre course made of pure ice, skates strapped to your feet, reaching speeds exceeding 65 kilometres per hour. You’re hurtling over jumps and rollers, pushing opponents and being shoved back, bouncing off the boards made of steel and Plexiglas that line the sides of the course. It’s nighttime, the track is illuminated by hundreds of bright lights and more than 100,000 fans line the sides of the track — screaming and cheering — and, all the while, you know you need to be the first person to reach the bottom. Your opponents — there are three of them — keep pace with you. Some might fall. It’s not uncommon. Racers have been thrown from the track. Others might hurt themselves, crashing into obstacles or falling after going off jumps of snow and chewed-up ice. You continue accelerating — ignoring the burning in your legs, the exhaustion now taking over your body — the finish line is close. Maybe you win, maybe you don’t, but you’ve had a hell of a time racing in Red Bull Crashed Ice. It’s those experiences, that adrenaline rush, that have kept Elaine Topolnisky of Kamloops coming back for more. Topolnisky, 30, has been competing in Crashed Ice for four years and will be racing in her fifth national championship in Quebec later this month. She’s not just any competitor, though — she’s part of the sport’s elite. Topolnisky was ranked as high as third in the women’s event before blowing out her knee last season. “I’ve always played ice hockey and skating has always been my strongest skill on the ice,” she said. Topolnisky was first exposed to

Crashed Ice on TV and was fascinated by what can only be described as downhill ice cross on skates. She earned a tryout at a national qualifier, won and the rest is history. Though still growing in national and international recognition, Crashed Ice is a huge endeavour, with tracks costing more than 1,000,000 Euros — the equivalent of more than $1.5-million Canadian — to build, Topolnisky said. The men compete on an international circuit with four stops — Helsinki, Finland, Saint Paul, Minn., Moscow,

Russia and Quebec City — while the Canadian women don’t yet travel internationally. Crashed Ice isn’t something Topolnisky makes money at, though Red Bull does cover all her costs, including flights, hotels and lost wages while attending the event. There are also endorsements to be had and prize money for the winners. But, it’s not about money for the registered massage therapist. X See ADRENALINE A26

E WERE just going to stop by on our way to grab wings and beer. It was end of day Wednesday and I felt a little guilty about asking our photographer, Dave Eagles, to snap a picture in far-off Brocklehurst — after all, it was just an elementary-school basketball game. I decided to be a buddy and tag along. We’d get the photo, perhaps stick around for a quarter, then head to the Firkin. Eagles’ driving is questionable at best, so, under the guise of being a nice person, I suggested we take my rig. We arrived, safely. The parking lot at Brock middle school was cold and eerily quiet — the polar opposite of the situation inside the gymnasium. Set to square off were the Parkcrest Ravens and the Marion Schilling Cool Cats. The tier 2 girls’ elementary city basketball title was on the line. It was hot. It smelled of sweat. It was loud. The rafters were jampacked. There was a palpable buzz of anticipation in the gym. There were whitehaired grandparents, seated quietly, watching intently, pillars of sanity among the lunacy. The grandparents’ children were try-

MARTY HASTINGS The Tattle of Hastings ing to keep an eye on their offspring, some of them warming up for the game, while younger, seemingly attention-spanless siblings raised absolute hell on the sidelines, spilling drinks, hammering vending-machine buttons, screaming like banshees. It was a beautiful mayhem that gathered manic momentum when the game tipped off. Mothers became louder and more animated than their Tasmanian-devil wee ones. Fatherly outbursts seemed involuntary, knee-jerk reactions invoked by a referee’s disastrous decision. There were aunts and uncles and nieces and nephews and second cousins twice removed. The whole fam-dam came to lend support. One quarter passed in a blink of an eye. The game was very close, with the underdog Ravens clawing at the paws of the Cool Cats. X See GAME MEANT A25

Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame to welcome class of 2014 The Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame (KSHF) will welcome a new class on April 12 in the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University. Joining the Hall will be curler Jim Cotter, retired school teacher and coach Alf Konrad, late hockey and softball official Fred Nicholson and former athlete and sports administrator Barb Warsimage, along with the 1992 to 1995 Kamloops Midget Braves. Cotter, whose Okanagan rink skipped by John Morris won silver at the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier in the Tournament Capital, won three B.C. High School curling titles and won the first of two B.C. junior men’s championships at the age of 16. He is one of the original products of Jam Can Curling in Kamloops dating back to the mid1980s during his pre-teen years. Konrad taught students in the classroom and on the field of play for almost 40 years. He retired from teaching in 2007, but is still coaching girls’ basketball at Sa-Hali secondary. He coached several sports during more than three decades in

the school district at NorKam, Sa-Hali junior and Brocklehurst. Warsimage and Nicholson were connected to softball, in addition to other sports in the area, for decades. They worked side by side in senior women’s fastball — Warsimage on the executive for more than 30 years and Nicholson with minor ball and women’s fastball for nearly 25 years. They were valuable components in hosting the 1993 Canada Summer Games and the 1990 and 1996 Canadian Junior Championships. Warsimage was president of the Kamloops Sports Council for 19 years. Nicholson passed away in April of 2011 after a battle with cancer, but he left his mark on the community through his work with hockey’s off-ice officials from 1972 until his passing. He headed up the Blazers’ off-ice officials and was instrumental in putting together a volunteer crew that worked the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. The Midget Braves were quite possibly the best team to emerge

Grants benefit Interior coaches Championship game meant everything to them

PacificSport Interior BC (PSIBC) has provided the Interior with reimbursement of National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) course fees to 481 coaches across the region, from Golden to 100 Mile House. The grants were from a $50,000 legacy fund created at the 2011 Western Canada Summer Games in Kamloops. “We heard from many coaches the personal expense to gain certification can add up with travel, fees and lodging and we have witnessed this first hand with the $50,000 being spent within a year and a half,” said Carolynn Boomer, general manager of PacificSport. PSIBC is a not-for-profit organization committed to developing sport at all level by integrating athlete services, coaching education and

physical-literacy opportunities. “The importance of having certified and trained coaches for our youth is imperative to having a positive learning environment,” said Ron McColl, chairman of PSIBC. “Many coaches are volunteers and training can be expensive, so the legacy grant helped support any coach interested in gaining knowledge through the NCCP program.” Twenty-seven sports were covered and 106 coaches were trained through multi-sport courses in 19 communities in the Interior. To learn more about PacificSport, go online to pacificsportinteriorbc. com.

Dave walked over to me. He had his photo. Our work was done. We had no dogs in the fight. We were off the clock. We decided to stay. It was what sports are all about. To these girls, winning that game meant everything. And, because of what it meant to them, it meant just as much to the parents and to the grandparents — and even to the coaches. (I don’t think little brother Timmy, who was trying to wrench a Cookies ‘n Cream out

of the vending machine during the dying minutes of the fourth quarter, gave a rat’s ass, but his antics added to the fervour of the occasion nonetheless). For Dave, I think nostalgia had kicked in, with his own daughter, now all grown up, having played in similar games years ago in an altogether different period of life. Time and time again, the Cool Cats

darted ahead, but the Ravens were game. The Birds wouldn’t quit. In the end, though, Marion Schilling prevailed, mounting a late offensive from which even pesky Parkcrest couldn’t recover. Losing head coach Cole Levitt, whose very own wild-man son was wreaking havoc in the crowd, was quickly undertaking extracurricular parental

duties, watching over his woebegone Ravens flock, encouraging his downtrodden charges. There were tears. There were lots of tears. It’s easy to forget what it’s like to be 11 years old, but I got the reminder I needed last week. It was not just an elementary-school basketball game. There’s no such thing.

‘It’s a big adrenaline rush’ X From A23

“For me, I really like it, just because it’s a big adrenaline rush,” she said. “I find that as I get older, it’s one of the things that keeps me competitive and keeps me excited about working out or about training all year. “It’s like nothing else,” she continued. “At a hockey rink, you might get 1,000 people watching. Here, you get 120,000 people. So, just that alone, the adrenaline and the lights and the music and the effort put into it — it’s just such a neat experience.” Topolnisky has always been an athlete. She grew up in Logan Lake and went on to accept a hockey scholarship with the Minnesota State University Mavericks. She came back to Kamloops two years ago, after spending nearly a decade in Victoria.

After a lifetime of hockey, Crashed Ice was a natural transition. She’s been working with a strength-and-conditioning coach this season, preparing for the March 22 championship in Quebec City after again winning a national qualifier in Vancouver. She feels like she has something to prove this season — her first after tearing the medial collateral ligament in her left knee. “I’m hoping this year to prove what I couldn’t last year,” she said. “I’ve been working hard this year, so I feel a lot more ready.” It’s the perfect season for Topolnisky to be at the top of her game, as the World Ice Cross League — an international league spawned by Crashed Ice — announced it would be making a stop in Western Canada in April. Topolnisky will be there.

The 100 Mile House Wranglers have battled adversity all season and fought through it. So, the message to the Kamloops Storm from their head coach Ed Patterson was simple on Wednesday, March 11: Make them feel sorry for themselves, give them a reason to give up. In a game played after KTW’s press deadline on Wednesday, the Storm looked to sweep the hometown Wranglers 4-0 in the bestof-seven Doug Birks Division final. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com for the result. The Storm shot out to a 3-0 lead in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoff series with a 5-2 win over the Wranglers in 100 Mile on Tuesday. “Last night [Tuesday], I thought we played well, we were just a little too cute,” Patterson said. “It’s almost like we have too

much time sometimes, but they’re playing well.” Luke Gordon led the way for the Storm with two goals and two assists. He had 13 points, including seven goals, in eight playoff games. “It was good because down the stretch there, we had a little meeting with him and told him we hadn’t been impressed with his play and he needed to get back to working harder and being more honest of a player,” Patterson said. “He’s stepped up his game and been a great leader here for the boys in the playoffs.” Brock Balson added a goal and an assist, while Spencer Schoech

(1G, 1A), Daniel Buchanan (1G, 1A), Max James (1A), Brett DeFrias (1A), Aiden SilzerHooker (1A) and Ryan Kels (1A) also chipped in for the Storm. The Storm have won seven straight, after losing their first playoff game to the Sicamous Eagles on Feb. 25. Despite registering twice as many shots as Sicamous — 58 to 25 — Kamloops left with a 2-1 overtime loss. “It’s not like the boys didn’t play well, but they needed to realize that every chance, you can’t be complacent with it, you can’t overpass the puck in the net and you can’t be too cute,” Patterson said. “It was a good wake-up call that way and they’ve buckled down the hatches pretty good recently.” Should the Storm eliminate the Wranglers, they will advance to the Okanagan-Shuswap Conference final and face the winner of the series between the North Okanagan Knights and the Osoyoos Coyotes.

Cowboy Festival riding in to town By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The cowboys are heading into town again and there will be plenty of action — along with some poetry, some singing and, for sure, some dancing — as the city hosts the 18th annual Kamloops Cowboy Festival. It begins today (Thursday, March 13) with some singing by McClure resident Gordie West at the Horse Barn at 11 a.m., a mainstay at similar festivals throughout the country. Later today, Ed Peekeekoot is back in town as the headliner at the festival’s dinner-dance at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre. It’s open only to those who have a weekend pass. The festival, organized each year by the B.S. Cowboy Heritage Society, spreads itself out, taking over the Horse Barn, the conference centre and Calvary Community Church just up Rogers Way from the hotel. The entertainment runs throughout the day, along with trades and art shows, and there’s more entertain-

ment and partying in the evening. The trade show includes booths on everything from high-school rodeo to saddles to trailers to cookies. Workshops will run on Friday and Saturday at Calvary Community Church, including book readings, guitar accompaniment, harmony, poetry and songwriting, hat-building and guitar-picking. A free shuttle runs from the hotel to the Horse Barn, where there is entertainment from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. There are a variety of ticket prices, depending on how much of the festival a person wants to attend. A weekend pass is $65, day passes on Friday and Saturday are $15 and the price drops to $10 for Sunday. Day passes include access to the daytime entertainment and trade/art shows. Tickets are available at the Horse Barn, 517 Mt. Paul Way, or by calling 250-819-4053. For a complete schedule of events, go online to bcchs.com/festival.html.

Rein not down on Project X — he’s just busy A promotion at work and a belief Project X Theatre is in a good place has made it easier for Derek Rein to step down it. Rein, the artistic producer behind the group of actors, set designers and others who create XFest at Prince Charles Park every summer, said he’s looking forward to a bit of time to “get a bit of my sanity back. “Not that Project X made me nuts, but I need a bit of a break.” Rein and Samantha Macdonald created the theatre troupe in 2004 to bring outdoor theatre to Kamloops.

Five-star crab feast in April Saturday, April 12, will be a crabby day in Kamloops. It’s the day the city’s Daybreak Rotary Club hosts its annual fundraiser, Bean’n Crabfest, at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre. As befits such an event, dress is casual — beachtheme attire is encouraged — and, unlike all those cute dog versus crab YouTube videos people are wont to share on social media, the dogs at this event won’t be barking but entertaining, as the Serious Dogs rule the stage. All funds raised go toward the club’s service projects, scholarships and local agencies, including the Rotary Foodbank Drive, the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice House, the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops and Ribfest. Tickets are $75 each or a table can be bought for $850. For more information, call 250-8521-2054.

LARGEST LAWN MOWER AND MORE @

DEEP CREEK TOOL MUSEUM By Teresa Cline

SPECIAL TO KTW

wheretogoandhowtogetthere.com

RIVING DOWN A country road in Tappen is the last place one would expect to encounter an enormous lawn mower. Anyone coming across it can’t help but pull into the driveway and take a closer look — and check out all of the antique motorized equipment that decorate Herb Higginbottom’s front yard at the Deep Creek Tool Museum. When Higginbottom’s first wife got sick, he needed to stay home and look after her. He had been collecting old tools for 50 years and was inspired, during this time at

home, to transform his house into a museum. Higginbottom’s extensive collection of tools, engines, household items and equipment date back to the early 1900s — and he has some of the original magazine ads to prove it. The collection is spread out across his front yard, backyard and garage, while his cache of household items fills two rooms in his house. With very little money to advertise, Higginbottom took the advice of his second wife, who said if he wanted to draw a crowd, he needed to build something big. But, what? Then it came to him. He would build the world’s largest manual push lawn mower.

Teresa Cline (left) and Monique Vek with Monique’s kids, Kyle and Evan Flux, at the unique museum in Tappen, near Enderby.

It took Higginbottom 18 months to create the 4,000-pound-plus work of art. He even had to build his own set of rollers to roll the steel. But, that wasn’t the first time Higginbottom customized his own equipment. On the tour, be sure to ask him to show you his homemade woodcutting machine, as well as his homemade bulldozer, because what sets this museum apart from others is Higginbottom himself. His enthusiasm for antique tools and equipment is contagious. Not only does he give you the history of the equipment, he also starts up and operates many of the pieces. Some of the tools include a 1930s power hacksaw, a 1940s

Three of eight ‘Vettes recovered from Kentucky sinkhole Three of eight historic Corvettes that fell into a sinkhole under the National Corvette Museum last month are back on solid ground following delicate removal techniques. A 1962 Corvette was lifted out of the sinkhole nose first. The engineering team removed a fourpost vehicle lift that had fallen on top of the Corvette, and installed anchors to stabilize the concrete slab the Corvette against which the Corvette was pinned. Despite landing tail-down in the debris, the 1962 Corvette sustained minimal damage. Next, engineers successfully extracted

the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 Blue Devil and a 1993 40th anniversary model Corvette. Based on initial inspection, the ZR-1 sustained minimal damage, despite falling nearly 30 feet when the hole opened beneath an exhibit area on Feb. 12. The 40th Anniversary Corvette had significant cosmetic damage to the hood, fenders and window glass. However, there appeared to be limited mechanical damage. The recovered cars will be shipped to a small specialty shop within General Motors Design in Warren, Mich., where the best restoration approach will be determined.

Mustang nails 50th OPI Products Inc., a subsidiary of COTY Inc., and Ford Motor Company have announced a unique collaboration featuring the iconic Ford Mustang. The popular pony car — celebrating its 50th anniversary in April — will serve as the inspiration for a line of OPI limited-edition nail lacquers that will launch internationally in July. The collection’s hero shade, Race Red, is a tribute to one of Mustang’s most iconic colors. The Ford Mustang is about to become the newest member of a very exclusive club — vehicles in continuous production for 50 years. Over the last five decades, Mustang has gained worldwide popularity and has become an enduring part of pop culture with more than 9.2 million Ford Mustangs sold and roughly 3,000 appearances on film and TV — including its upcoming big-screen appearance as the hero car in “Need for Speed.” Mustang’s unique combination of style, performance and afford-

wanted to keep my wife happy. She nodded sympathetically. As she handed me the money, she asked if the vehicle was in any accidents. Now, I’m not a good liar. So I simply said, No. It’s her fault for not asking for a CarProof or ICBC vehicle history report. That seemed to do it. She was pleased and drove away with a smile on her face. As for me, I went home with a fat wallet. A few days later, I got a text: “Got CarProof report. Three accidents?!?!? Need money back now!!!” I panicked. But not for long. I was getting good at this. I just got a new cell number. She didn’t know my name – that old fake ID worked great. And she had no idea where I lived. Finding me would wear her out. I was in the clear. But will I be so lucky next time? *Curber – An individual posing as a private seller, but selling vehicles for profit as a business.

CANADIAN CAR OF THE YEAR AWARD

Confessions of a Curber I was itching to sell another car. I‘d spent my first cash quickly. The new TV looked great in my living room. So I scrounged the dealer lots in my neighbourhood. I found the perfect car at a small dealership not far from my house. Gray with four doors. Everything was still intact, but it was priced low. The dealer gave me the car’s history right away. It had been in three accidents over its lifetime. Nothing too major, but damage was done and repaired. I couldn’t spot the repairs. So, I happily bought it and registered it. I didn’t want my wife and kids to know what I was up to, so I parked it around the block. I knew it would be gone in a few days. This time, I used Kijiji and Craigslist. “Car for sale. Served me well, but wife wants a new car. Accident and damage free. Looking to sell fast, low price. Cash only. Call cell for info.” I got a text message from a woman across town. I told her I’d meet her at a nearby gas station and would throw in a free tank of gas. She was thrilled. When I met her, she told me that she needed a cheap, dependable vehicle to get to her new job. She’dd been taking the bus for weeks and was tired of her commute. To my annoyance, she wanted to check the vehicle thoroughly. So I distracted her. I told her I was sad to let “my baby” go, but I

AUTO MARKET

Infiniti Q50 engine roars to life Infiniti wowed the 2014 Geneva International Motor Show by revealing a powerful engine for the Q50 Eau Rouge concept. The beating heart of the Eau Rouge — a twin-turbocharged, 3.8-litre V6 gasoline engine — was revealed on the Infiniti show stand. The Q50 Eau Rouge, a high-performance concept car based on the premium manufacturer’s award-winning Q50

sport sedan, was first revealed at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show in January as a Formula One inspired, carbon fibre aeroenhanced concept. The 3799 cc V6, 24-valve, twin-turbocharged gasoline engine partners a full-time, all-wheel drive system with 50/50 front-to-rear torque split. Predicted acceleration of 0-60 mph in less than four seconds and a top speed close

to 180 mph would put the Q50 Eau Rouge firmly into the premier league of super-sports sedans. The most powerful and exhilarating gasoline-powered Infiniti model has not been confirmed for production, but the unveiling of the latest iteration of the Q50 Eau Rouge in Geneva underlines the company’s determination to create engaging performance cars for a premium segment.
