Report dismisses KDN site as arts-centre home By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

City hall was told last year the Kamloops Daily News building and surrounding land would not be appropriate for the performingarts centre concept being considered. The report by Tomer Curiel, a professional engineer and the project manager for the Pacific region for MHPM Project Leaders, a project-management company, refers to the project as a “high-level program” developed by city staff and Thibodeau Architecture and Design (TAD). The site-options analysis, one of several heavily redacted documents accessed by KTW through a freedom-of-information request, describes a centre that would include: • A 1,500-seat theatre with orchestra pit, although it notes the centre “is not being purpose-built for a symphony.” Estimated size is 23,750 square feet. • A 250- to 300-seat black-box theatre with no fixed stage and collapsible or removable seats. Estimated size is 7,413 square feet. • Soundproof warm-up spaces/studios and rehearsal spaces. Estimated size is 6,800 square feet. Dressing-room space would take up another 11,421 square feet. • Generous and esthetically pleasing

Via a freedom-of-information request, KTW has received from the City of Kamloops documents related to the proposed purchase of the former Kamloops Daily News site. Included in the information are details of a $9,000 site-analysis report that determined the property would not be suitable for a performing-arts centre. lobby/foyer space. Estimated size is 17,500 square feet. • A back-of-house designed to accommodate production companies. • No conference space. • Possibly providing capabilities for food service in the lobby. • A public-plaza space. • Streetscape improvements and setbacks, specifically on Seymour Street. • Public access for transit, bicycles, dropoffs, etc. • The administration area would be an estimated 2,579 square feet. • Building services would take up another 15,199 square feet. • Parking and loading would take up 84,000 square feet. • The total project would require 168,711 square feet. Curiel writes that the building that housed KDN “would be demolished as part of the

project,” but “it was determined that the site would not function for the intended program.” The following two pages are redacted. TAD calls itself an architectural firm that specializes in “transforming existing buildings into renewed, inspiring spaces. Our expertise in dealing with the complexities of these buildings makes us ideally suited to tackle projects such as complete interior transformations, building extensions, specialized repairs and remedial work.” It’s apparent the city was looking at the site in the middle of 2013. On June 6, Dave Freeman, the city’s real-estate supervisor, sent a memo to three of the top managers at city hall. The subject was a performing-arts centre in Kamloops. Recipients were arts, cultural and heritage manager Barbara Berger, parks, recreation and culture director Byron McCorkell and chief administrative officer David Trawin. Part of the email is redacted — blacked out because its disclosure is deemed harmful to the financial or economic interests of the city. The last paragraph, however, can be read: “Kamloops Daily News — Had a voice message from Rob Hackett of Madison Properties enquiring on next steps.”

MAYOR STILL LIKES PROPERTY FOR CENTRE By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Though a report commissioned by the city appears to rule out the Kamloops Daily News site as the future home of a performing-arts centre, Mayor Peter Milobar said the Seymour Street location is still very much in the mix. In a report by MHPM Project Managers Inc. prepared for the city in November of 2013, consultant Tomer Curiel said the site didn’t match the city’s space needs. Milobar said that report, obtained by KTW via a freedom-of-information request, was written before the city had fully committed to purchasing the Daily News site from Glacier Media. “At that point, we were looking at some other sites as well — and the Daily News site we looked at,” he said. “We took a cursory look at square footage and thought, well, we’ll see if another one can work or not. Then we came back to the Daily News and took a harder look at the square-footage requirements and how you might be able to layer things.” X See MILOBAR A14

FUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice

BUILDING HOMES FOR THE FUTURE The first Habitat for Humanity house in Kamloops since 2009 will soon rise in Westsyde. The duplex at 3143 Westsyde Rd. will house two families. Groundbreaking took place on Friday, April 4. On hand were, left to right: Maryanne Bower, constituency assistant to Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone; Kirsty Morris, constituency assistant to Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake; Jennifer Thompson, constitutency assistant to Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod; Micah Rankin, Habitat’s board vice-chairman; Coun. Tina Lange; and Tom Kasten, project manager. Also on hand were the two families who will live in the duplex: Mom Lorna Seip and kids Caleb and Gracie Platt; and mom Krystal Harper and kids Tamberly Harper and Tristan Collins. Habitat provides the mortgage to the homeowners, interest-free and with no down payment. The families then make the monthly payments on the fair market value of the home — estimated at $320,000 for each half of the duplex. Habitat is hoping to have the duplex complete and the families moved in by Christmas. Dave Eagles/KTW

Health-care workers prepare for strike vote By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

More than 47,000 health-care workers, including more than 1,000 in the Kamloops area, will be asked to approve a strike in a vote that will roll through the province from April 22 to April 30. Mike Old, communications director for the Health Employees’ Union (HEU), said the vote will come just weeks after the existing contract expired at the end of March.

Old said talks on a new contract have not progressed and the HEU, along with 10 other unions involved in bargaining, wants a strong mandate from its members. The 11 unions form a facilities bargaining association and negotiate together with the province. The HEU is the largest, representing about 85 per cent of the workers. In Kamloops, that includes staff at Royal Inland Hospital, Overlander Residential Care, Ponderosa

Lodge and an administration centre in Lansdowne Village. Old said the unions represent workers in 270 job classifications, including care-aides, lab assistants, pharmacy staff, admitting clerks, trades and maintenance and laundry staff.

“All the people you don’t always see,” Old said. Negotiations began in January and have not progressed, Old said, noting stumbling blocks include a moratorium on contracting out services. Such a moratorium was included in the contract negotiated in 2012, Old said, but expired this year. “And no reasonable conditions [for contracting out] are being presented on that issue,” he said.

CORRECTION A story in the April 4 edition of KTW (‘Vexed over vote’) on the election of the board for the Thompson Rivers University Students Union listed Feroz Shah as a member of the Your Vote=Your Voice slate. Lahanna Ghosh was the international student on that slate. Shah was a member of the four-person allinternational slate.

Expansion of food trucks on agenda By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops food truck owner said she’s glad to see the city moving ahead with proposed changes to its bylaws that will allow her to bring her business downtown. Proposals headed to city council today (April 8) would open up the areas of the city in which the trucks could operate to include parks, the downtown and more commercial and light-industrial zones. At the same time, the city is looking to rezone Spirit Square on the North Shore for park use to allow trucks to locate there and set up a pilot project downtown in which trucks would rotate through three locations on Fifth Avenue and Seymour Street. “I think those locations are the best we could get if we were to be downtown, considering all those locations are away from restaurants,” said Cathy Obertowich of Cat and Joe’s Pig Rig. “I think it’s great. I think they chose wisely so it doesn’t affect any restaurants per se, no more than it would if a restaurant opened up next door.” The pilot project would see trucks at Seymour Street and Second Avenue, next to Gaglardi Square, and at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue, alternating between spots in front of

the Paramount Theatre and the TNRD Building, which houses the library and Kamloops Art Gallery. The Pig Rig typically sets up shop in Valleyview Square and at the Best Western Inn in Sahali. While there are enough loyal customers in Sahali to make their once-a-week stop viable long-term, Obertowich believes the truck will move downtown for the majority of the week if the city is able to create a scheduling system that works for the handful of trucks operating in Kamloops. Obertowich would also be interested in taking the Pig Rig to the North Shore, but thinks Spirit Square would be most successful as a venue if the city can get all the trucks to commit to spending some time at the site. “But, it’s just like anything when you start it. You’ve got to be consistent and show up there,” she said. “I think if they open it up on Spirit Square and all the food trucks rotate, it could be very good on the North Shore. I know there’s lots of interest there.” As part of the proposed regulatory changes, the city would also create a new business-licence category specifically for food trucks. Should city council move ahead with the plan, the public will get a chance to voice their thoughts on the new regulations at a public hearing at a later date.

Secondary suites added to Aberdeen subdivision

A developer has received city permission to add up to 16 secondary suites to his subdivision on Bentall and Telford drives in Aberdeen. Council has voted unanimously to allow D.A. Taylor Holdings to rezone five-and-a-half hectares at 2700 and 2720 Bentall Dr. and 2668 and 2674 Telford Dr. to single-family residential, open space and to allow suites. Speaking on behalf of the developer, Jeremy Cooke of AC Eagle Enterprises Ltd. said the company plans to build homes with suites on lots that are double the average size, which will make changes to the overall density of the subdivision minimal. Cooke said the developer plans to place a private covenant on the lots, ensuring they can’t be subdivided in the future.

Pedophile had apartment filled with kids’ toys By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A 50-year-old Kamloops pedophile facing the potential of an indefinite jail sentence had his apartment decorated with children’s toys. David Jennings is undergoing a hearing in Kamloops provincial court to determine whether he should be labelled a dangerous offender — a tag that could see him locked up indefinitely. Taking the stand on Monday, April 7, was Bernice Hammett, who was Jennings’ probation officer between July 2011 and June 2012. She said she visited his studio apartment in late 2011 and saw a number of stuffed toys

set up for display. “There was a lot of stuffed animals and he was pre-occupied with that type of material — just little trinkets and things,” she said, noting the stuffed toys were propped up on the backs of chairs and on ledges. “Mr. Jennings was child-like in his interests.” Hammett described a conversation she had with Jennings about how lonely he felt and how he enjoyed sleeping with his stuffed toys. “Mr. Jennings asked me if it was normal to sleep with a stuffed animal and I said that would be fine if it made him feel comfortable,” she said. “I don’t know if normal is the right word here, but we just

had these discussions because he was feeling lonely.” Court also heard from an investigator with the Kamloops RCMP major-crimes section who described a similar scene at a different home occupied by Jennings in 2009. RCMP Cpl. Mark Goodall said he conducted an interview in Jennings’ bedroom on April 2, 2009, after a complaint had been made about Jennings possibly violating his probation by being around children. “There were stuffed animals everywhere — on the bed, the shelf, the table,” Goodall said. “He had a shelf that had a lot of cartoon kid videos. It looked like a child’s bedroom.” Jennings was con-

victed last year of one count of sexual interference of a person under 16, his most recent criminal conviction. In that instance, he was staying with a family when he entered the bedroom of an eight-year-old boy and fondled his genitals. He was identified a year later when the boy was in a social-worker’s office and spotted a

newspaper clipping on the wall with Jennings’ mugshot and a public warning from B.C. Corrections. The boy pointed out the picture showed “Uncle Dave.” He then told police Uncle Dave told him not to tell anyone and he wouldn’t get hurt. Jennings was the subject of a rare public warning from B.C. Corrections in October 2011. At the time, officials said Jennings would be living in Kamloops and was a high risk to commit new sexual offences. In June 2012 — before the incident involving the eightyear-old boy came to light — Kamloops Mounties arrested Jennings following

an incident outside a Valleyview pizza chain, where he had allegedly been trying to pick up a 14-year-old girl. After being rebuffed, police said at the time, Jennings went to a nearby bank and gave a three-year-old girl a stuffed animal. He was arrested six days later. It was his third similar breach in less than a year. In the 1990s, Jennings was convicted in Alberta of sexually abusing two children — a four-year-old girl and a five-year-old boy. He has a lengthy criminal history in

Kamloops as well, having been convicted of a sex offence involving a nine-year-old girl in 1999. Between 2003 and 2006, Jennings racked up six breach convictions in Kamloops provincial court. In 2003, he was also convicted of assaulting a police officer and obstructing a police officer. Court has heard Jennings has been diagnosed with pedophilia non-exclusive type, meaning he is sexually attracted to boys and girls. Jennings’ dangerousoffender hearing began on March 31.

Tuesday, April 8 7:30 pm

Kamloops sees rise in vehicle thefts in 2013, with 150 Vehicle thefts and break-ins in Kamloops last year were up sharply compared to 2012, but significantly lower than numbers from 10 earlier. Last year, there were 150 thefts of vehicles in Kamloops reported to ICBC, up 75 per cent from 84 in 2012. In 2013, there were

270 reported thefts from vehicles in Kamloops, an increase of 43 per cent from the 190 reported in 2012. Both those figures seem paltry compared to statistics from 2003, when Kamloops recorded 480 thefts of vehicles and 1,100 vehicle break-ins. ICBC has also

Provincial government won’t budge on tuition fees By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Two Maritime provinces adopted radical measures in their 2014 budgets to assist students, ranging from interest-free loans to their elimination. But, KamloopsNorth Thompson MLA Terry Lake said the B.C. Liberal government has lowered student costs by bringing post-secondary education closer to home. The Canadian Federation of Students lauded Newfoundland and Labrador’s decision to phase out interestfree student loans in favour of non-repayable grants over a three-year period. In Nova Scotia, the governing Liberal party announced it will eliminate interest on student loans. Dylan Robinson, president of Thompson Rivers University’s Students’ Union (TRUSU), called the maritime move “absolutely amazing. “Loan-based support doesn’t work. . . Loan-based grants don’t improve access to students who can’t afford up-front costs and are debt-averse.”

TRUSU’s latest data shows the average TRU student with student debt owes $20,000 in loans upon graduation. TRUSU is calling for the province to eliminate tuition fees. Jeannine Mitchell, who operates a nonprofit agency and website on student finances called Debt 101, said there has been a marked decline in student aid under the B.C. Liberal government. She called B.C. “Canada’s worst place for students.” She estimated B.C. has the highest loan interest rates, highest average student debt and lowest university enrolment rate. The interest rate on student loans ranges from 2.5 per cent floating to a fixed rate of five per cent above the prime. At five per cent on top of the prime rate, she noted, government is making a large margin at students expense. “What bugs me is government gets it for two per cent [interest] and turns around and charges prime plus five per cent. It’s usurious,” she said in an interview from Vancouver. The province says about 30 per cent of

Notice to Motorists The City of Kamloops would like to notify motorists, businesses and residents that commencing April 7, there will be roadwork and construction taking place at the intersection of:

Victoria Street & 1st Avenue and Lansdowne & Lorne Street Motorists can expect delays and are advised to plan accordingly. Local access to businesses will be maintained through the construction period. When driving in the area, please slow down, use caution, note any temporary detours and obey all traffic control persons. Public Works and Utilities Department staff members are available to answer your questions at 250-828-3461. The City of Kamloops thanks you for your co-operation.

students require financial assistance. The province also did away with grants and has little or no rebate system, other than for medical professionals. Lake said the B.C. Liberal government has chosen to invest in bringing post-secondary closer to home, one way to lower costs for students and parents. Lake said both he and his wife Lisa gradu-

ated in the mid-80s with student loan debt. “We paid $400 (a month) for 9.5 years. “We both came from working-class backgrounds. We couldn’t have the careers we have without student loans.” New Democrat critic David Eby said the province also makes it difficult for students to get loans, noting they are not available for courses shorter than 10

weeks. That disqualifies, for example, students from getting loans for a $7,500 course at College of the Rockies for mine haul-truck training. “The very people who could benefit, working at 7-Eleven for minimum wage, can’t take seven weeks off and afford the $7,500 cost of the program.” Eby said B.C. has the highest number of people aged 15 to 39

out of work combined with the fact B.C. students are the least likely to attend full-time school compared to other provinces. Nova Scotia will join Prince Edward Island as the only two provinces that give interest-free loans to students. Newfoundland and Labrador have frozen tuition since 2009. Under a longstanding B.C. Liberal government policy,

universities are allowed to increase tuition by about two per cent a year. TRU has consistently increased its rates by the maximum allowed. On Friday, its board of governors is expected to approve another two per cent hike. Robinson said tuition fees have increased more than 200 per cent at TRU over the past decade.

LOCAL NEWS

Holiday Inn Express sold, will undergo renos By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Holiday Inn Express in Aberdeen will undergo a $1.5million renovation in the fall to prepare for increased competition in the local market. The property was purchased this month by Kamloops hotelier Ron Mundi, who will add it to his stable. Mundi also owns Coast Kamloops Hotel & Conference Centre as well as Econo Lodge

and Riverland Hotel & Suites. Mundi purchased the Holiday Inn from Halifax-based Holloway Lodging Corp. He also purchased the neighbouring restaurant property, which has long been closed, out of foreclosure. In the past few years, the hotelier purchased the former Best Western in Aberdeen, spending $9 million on a major renovation. While he has been involved in buying, renovating and selling local hotels, Mundi said that’s not

his intention with the Holiday Inn purchase. “I’d like to keep it and do the same thing [renovations],” he said. He has also bought and sold the Ramada Inn and Knights Inn in Kamloops. Mundi said renovations will begin in October and are scheduled to be complete by April 2015. The interior of the building, which was constructed in the 1990s, will be completely gutted and the lobby will undergo major changes.

The hotel will remain open during renovations and will carry on under the Holiday Inn Express banner. Mundi said he will look for a restaurant tenant for the neighbouring satellite building, which will also require a complete renovation. Former Holiday Inn owner Holloway cited increased competition in the local market as one of the reasons for its sale. Those competing new properties include the Fairfield Inn

by Marriot, which is under construction at Pacific Way and Hugh Allan Drive (the former Home Hardware building in Aberdeen), the Best Western Plus on Columbia Street in Sahali, the Doubletree on St. Paul Street downtown (the former Coast Canadian Inn) and the soon-tobe-opened Sandman Signature on Lorne Street downtown, across from Riverside Park. “I want to be healthy competition with my neighbours,” Mundi said.

BCLC cutting 67 jobs — including 29 in Kamloops The B.C. Lottery Corporation (BCLC) is cutting jobs and looking for ways to bolster revenues as it discovers young people aren’t as attracted to lotteries and gambling as their parents’ generation. The corporation announced on Friday, April 4, it is cutting 67 jobs — 29 of them at its Kamloops head office. Acting CEO Jim Lightbody said in an interview those 29 cuts will come as a result of attrition and voluntary retirements. The Crown corporation reported a net income of more than $1.1 billion in 2013, up about $20 million from the year before. But, Lightbody said, there are signs its growth over the past decade cannot continue. “Over the last several years, we’ve seen total revenue start to plateau,” he said. “After growth and plateau, the next stage is decline. We want to get ahead of that curve.” In order to meet its revenue pledges to the province, the BCLC will cut operating costs by $20 million,

City of Kamloops Spring Cleaning Street Sweeping Notice Weather permitting, City crews will begin spring sweeping of streets in the valley bottom and working into the higher elevations throughout the City. The Spring Sweeping program on average requires 6 to 8 weeks to complete. In an effort to reduce sweeping time and costs, signs will be posted in the areas that are being swept advising the public not to park on the street. Some high density areas will have parking restrictions posted and/or notices delivered in advance of sweeping, for example, downtown east. Residents who wish to sweep the area in front of their property are advised to remove the pile of sand accumulated as these piles can damage a sweeper, and operators are instructed to swerve around such piles. Your co-operation is appreciated. Inquiries can be made by calling 250-828-3461.

Now, that’s how you create a new slogan for TRU!

ACK IN 2006, Thompson Rivers University paid a Victoria firm the princely sum of $100,000 for a three-word slogan. Before TRU was a university, it was the University College of the Cariboo and carried with it a slogan: “University with a difference.” Apparently, being different was not good enough for the rechristened Thompson Rivers University, so it hired Trapeze Communications to undertake a rebranding. The result — “Now, that’s university” — cost $33,000 per word and was notable for failing to impress anybody. To be fair, Trapeze did create the city’s “Tournament Capital of Canada” slogan, which has helped put Kamloops on the map continent-wide. But, “Now, that’s university”? Not so much. That $100,000 slogan is now about eight years old and will soon be retired as the university embarks — yet again — on a rebranding process. This time, the school will be getting input from various people in Kamloops connected to TRU. One would hope the previous $100,000 price tag can be reduced to, say, zero dollars — and it can, easily, if university brass simply staged a contest and gave away a prize to the winner. There are countless suggested slogans superior to “Now, that’s university,” as we have seen online at kamloopsthisweek.com and in my email inbox since we asked readers to give us their best brand for Thompson Rivers University. Anne Diehl suggests “TRU to Life.” Anne Dorval likes “Illuminating the

MUSINGS

Future.” Ed Skretka prefers “TRU University — True Diversity.” Michael Mehta weighs in with “TRU . . . Where change is the only constant.” There have been other suggestions, obviously made with tongue in cheek and involving tin dimes and Monopoly money. TRU could get some ideas by looking at the tag lines of other postsecondary institutions There does seem to be a lot of “inspiring” and “advancing” and “investing” among them. At Michigan State University, they are “Advancing Knowledge and Transforming Lives.” At the University of Liverpool, they are “Investing in Knowledge,” which, compared to the pathetic returns in savings accounts today, will probably get the investor more bang for his buck. At Dalhousie University in Halifax, they are “Inspiring Minds.” Not to be outdone, Hamilton’s McMaster University is “Inspiring Innovation and Discovery” — while, we assume, also inspiring minds, as long as doing so does not invite an

inspirational copyright lawsuit from their Maritime college cousins. There are also promising sentences being killed before they can flourish and give birth to healthy subjects and predicates; mass murders connected by a common perpetrator — the period. At Ryerson University in Toronto, the sentence’s death resulted in “Wisdom. Applied” before that school again changed its slogan. At the Wisconsin-Madison School of Business, the slaying of the sentence led to “Forward. Thinking.” At the Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls, the sentence’s cessation created a crime scene splattered with “Different. Better.” In Kamloops, the university is named for the rivers that meet in the valley below — the Thompson rivers, named for the great explorer from London. “Kamloops,” of course, is the English version of the Shuswap word “Tk’emlups,” which means “meeting of the waters,” which refers to the Thompson rivers merging here. So, considering the university is named after the explorer who navigated the waters for which the city is named, how about a slogan merging that fact with the purpose of the institution? I give you: “Thompson Rivers University: Where Minds Meet” Or, for the sentence-haters among us, “Where. Minds. Meet.” Either way, it is an improvement over the status quo — and a bit more cost-effective. Now, that’s how you create a university slogan! editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

City needs to create appetite for all It appears Kamloops will be stepping into the gastronomic world long enjoyed by Vancouverites and residents of larger centres. Today, city council will consider changing its rules to allow food trucks to sell their delicious creations in more areas of town. Of particular interest to foodtruck operators and patrons alike is the downtown area, with its density and large number of people. Proposals headed to city council today (April 8) include opening to food trucks portions of the downtown core, parks and more commercial and light-industrial zones. Across the river, Spirit Square in North Kamloops is being eyed as a possible site for the mobile eateries. While more menu options are always good for the hungry masses, the city must ensure any expansion of food trucks is done with the existing restaurant base firmly in mind. The proposals being considered today seem to keep food trucks some distance from brick-and-mortar restaurants, but city council needs to be vigilant on this matter. Food trucks can offer a wonderful array of recipes and the opportunity for passersby to chow down in the fresh air. However, food trucks do not incur the same costs as do restaurants, with their building overhead, mortgages/leases/ property taxes, food and supplies and staff to consider. There is indeed room for standalone restaurants and roving food trucks — provided the rules implemented do not adversely impact the established places that shoulder a greater financial burden.

“This bee thing is all fine and dandy, except for one thing — there are people, including myself, who are highly allergic to bee stings and can cause me a great deal of trouble and even death. “So, who do we sue if we get stung and have a problem?” — posted by Ken Sailer “For the most part, as long as you are not disturbing their beehives or shaking beefilled trees, honeybees are very docile. “As far as suing someone for a sting, I think you would have as much legal right to sue someone with a beehive as you would suing someone with a flower garden or fruit tree.” — posted by Scott

Remember the Afton open-pit operation? Editor: I am wondering if anyone remembers New Gold’s Afton mine as being a huge open-pit operation between the years of 1977 and 1988. The Afton open-pit mine produced 205,000-tonnes of copper, 13-tonnes of gold and 81.4-tonnes of silver from 31.6-million tonnes of ore. These minerals came out of the 31.6-million tonnes of ore that had been blasted at Afton’s open-pit mine, which was successfully operated for 11 years.

If you don’t happen to remember this history, it’s a matter of public record. Environmentally speaking, the KGHM mine application for Ajax is seeking to do likewise. Obviously, this has become a local hot potato within Kamloops. I am keeping in mind that, with today’s mining technologies, we have come a long way since 1988. So, being fair, who’s to say that, with the expertise available to KGHM, another environmental approval won’t be

given to another open pit-mining operation near Kamloops? Research Afton mine’s 11-year-long open-pit mining operation. They were first with an open-pit mine located next door. They were approved by the B.C. Ministry of Environment. What I can’t seem to remember is anyone complaining of cracked foundations from the blasting. Les Evens Kamloops

RUNNING COMMENTARY with Jo Berry

Run for health and helping others We all know our most important currency in life is our health. Vibrant health is cliché to some perhaps, but it only takes a bad flu bug or an accident to truly realize how our lives and happiness are completely dependent on personal health. One of Boogie’s core values is community health and another one is service above self. This past week I have been bursting with excitement watching runners at the CFJC-TV Boogie training program accomplish their dreams. It’s pure magic watching the eyes of the runners as they truly get that first ‘ah-ha’ moment that they are becoming runners. They are doing it! This past Tuesday night was a gorgeous spring evening at Run Club and, as I coached the beginners, I was emotional watching them begin to skip along with more confidence and a greater sense of success. At the completion of our workout, I loved their astonishment and excitement when I told them they all did five kilomtres that evening. Everyone cheered and were full of questions about their upcoming Boogie day. For our team, there is no bigger currency than giving back to others — service above self. Contributing to health and happiness is the number one reason our team works so hard on our project. Thousands of people have come to the Boogie training program thinking they could never become a runner and have completely changed their lives. They go on to run five kilometres, 10 kilometres and some even 21 kilometres and full marathons. This year we will reach our $1-million fundraising mark. Thank you for joining in the movement.

Training Talk DAVE EAGLES Ever since I began walking and running with Run Club, I have noticed more people running outdoors than ever before. Maybe it’s just coincidental now that the weather is warming. But, it’s also kind of like buying a certain model of vehicle — as soon as you drive it off the lot, you notice everyone else driving the same one as you. More and more people continue coming out to the Tuesday-night run with the club. Last week, we met at Red Beard Roasters coffee shop on Tranquille Road and ran along the River’s Trail into McArthur Island, west along the river. It was another sunny, warm evening, and we increased our running segments to eight this time — adding an extra one toward the end of our route for good measure. Stretching exercises we did after our run made a huge difference in how my feet felt later in the week. It’s made me consider other alternatives for healthy walking and running. I’ve been hearing Susan Edgell and Jo Berry talk about how great it feels to wade into the Thompson River and ice their feet and ankles after a run. I think I’d like to try it. But, I think I’ll wait until later this month when the river warms just a few more degrees.

3 individuals, 3 levels of fitness, 3 distinct approaches to training for the CFJC-TV Boogie

SUSAN EDGELL One of the great things about Run Club is that you don’t have to be afraid to be yourself. And, that is exactly what I do when I run with the group. There is something very freeing about laughing outwardly for no reason, yelling words of encouragement to others and striking up a conversation with the runner next to you. Many of these conversations end up being quite short because the pickups often shuffle around the running order. But, running with strangers is an opportunity to talk with people you might not otherwise talk with and sometimes, you don’t even finish the conversation. Besides the very obvious physical and mental benefits of running, this is a great side benefit. My job on Midday is to ask people questions and make sure I get the whole story. In five-minute segments, I ask questions ensuring each topic makes sense with a beginning, middle and end. Repeat that day in and day out for years and the process becomes fairly predictable. At Run Club, the freedom to make no sense — not even finish a conversation — and act out like an excited child for no reason is quite lovely. I like not having to explain myself or make sense — it’s not something I’m used to. It definitely makes my top ten reasons for enjoying Run Club.

NICK CARTER There are officially less than three weeks to go until the CFJC-TV Boogie the Bridge. For us beginners, it is hard to believe that in a few short weeks we have advanced to three-minute running intervals. We have learned that hydration is important and the major causes of injury are doing too much too soon and having insufficient running shoes. Cross trainers are inadequate — there is a proper shoe to match your running style and there are stores that will make sure you have the right shoe. Runner’s Sole is my favourite. They have my shoe-type in their computer system for easy reference when replacement is necessary. Jo Berry emphasizes it is important to replace your shoes every six months — a small expense to assure your running comfort and enjoyment. A timer is also handy for doing your homework — or playwork, as we call it in Run Club. It can be programmed to time intervals so you can enjoy your run and listen for the beep to switch from running to walking. Some even have GPS technology so you keep track of your run distance. If you have a smartphone, different applications can also be used. There is still time to sign up at boogiethebridge.com.

Appraisal pegged value of KDN site at $4.6m By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

An appraisal of the Kamloops Daily News property and building sets the value at $4.6 million. The appraisal, completed in August 2013 by Gary Mirtle of Flynn Mirtle Moran real-estate appraisers, notes the value could change if the basement can be converted into parking space. It estimates a monthly parking-stall rental fee of $55 â&#x20AC;&#x153;with a layout that encompasses virtually all

of the vacant land available and comprises plusor-minus 102 bays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is our view the vacant components within the subject building should have been tenantoccupied revenue-producing entities over the last several years. We understand the second floor space has effectively been vacant since 1981, at the time The Bay moved up to Aberdeen Mall.â&#x20AC;? The appraisal notes the size of land available is 60,000 square feet, while the building provides an additional

35,966 square feet from the ground floor up and 17,155 square feet in the basement. At the time of the appraisal, the newspaper was still in operation, using the main floor for its staff and part of the second floor for storage. The printing press occupied part of the basement, but was no longer in use when the appraisal was done. Mirtle says the open design of the building, which he estimated was built in the mid-1950s, provides flexibility for tenant use, but would

require significant upgrades, specifically to the heating, ventilation and air-condition system which, the report notes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;has been somewhat dismantled and, therefore, [the building is] not properly heated and cooled.â&#x20AC;? Upgrades would be required to the plumbing and electrical systems on the second floor, Mirtle notes in the report. Improvements were made to the existing washrooms, three stairwells, access to the freight elevator and the sprinkler system. In addition, fluores-

also must be given to any costs that may be involved to accommodate tenants or a future purchaser. Mirtle estimates potential rental income to be $420,699 a year, including $67,320 in parking income from 102 stalls. The revenue is based on a cost-per-square foot of $11 for the main floor, $5.50 for the second floor and $4 for the basement.

of Kamloops and recommends it be retained, if financially feasible. He says the property would be appropriate for residential, commercial, retail or cultural purposes. Mirtle notes several factors making the property attractive for development, including its downtown location, the design and size of the building relative to others in the area and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;relatively limited availability of especially large main-floor retail and office space with on-site parking.â&#x20AC;? He says consideration

cent lighting was installed and the main floor had been renovated to average office quality, while an annexed building housing H&R Block is finished to a professional-office standard. The appraiser said the income-tax firm once had a lease but, at the time, was on a month-tomonth agreement, paying about $11 per square foot ($2,651.92 monthly), which Mirtle says is â&#x20AC;&#x153;well below market levels.â&#x20AC;?

‘. . . the site would not function for the intended program’ X From A1

Freeman had responded and left a voice message about a meeting to happen on June 7 “and that we would be responding formally very soon. I asked if anything had changed on their side and what was the response from his president on the outcome of the meeting. Haven’t heard back from him yet.” Hackett is listed online as vice-president of property management for Madison Pacific Properties (MPP), which is based in Vancouver. The chairman and president of MPP is Sam Grippo, who is also chairman of Glacier Media, the company that shut down the Kamloops Daily News in January. On Oct. 20, a letter was sent to city arts manager Barbara Berger by Tomer Curiel of MHPM, presenting a proposal for the site-options ns analysis. The letter is also partially redacted, but notes “the City intends to fund the project through parking revenue, public donations, possible contributions from other levels of government and public debt, which will require approval through a referendum.” The letter notes MHPM would charge the city $9,000, plus applicable taxes, to prepare the site analysis. On Nov. 28, the draft analysis was presented to the city by Curiel and MPHM vice-president Richard Harris. The 48-page report is also heavily redacted as 17 complete pages are blacked out, while another eight pages have some sections excised,

including the executive summary. Parts of it can be read: “In order to address growing parking demands, the City of Kamloops has reviewed options for a suitable downtown site on which to construct a 200-stall parkade. “The City has identified this as an opportunity to explore whether the site can accommodate a new performing-arts centre to align with its cultural plan.” The rest of the paragraph is redacted. The summary continues to note MPHM was hired to do the “site options analysis [redacted words] for the

proposedd performing-arts f i t centre t and downtown parkade use.” It notes the centre “was developed based on the need for a minimum 200-stall parkade, a 1,500-seat proscenium theatre, a 300-seat black-box theatre and associated administrative, support and service/ loading spaces.” The summary says the project would need “84,711 square feet of functional area distributed over three levels and an underground parkade.” The rest of the summary is redacted. The analysis says it relied on several meetings held last year to develop the report. Those included a public-consultation on Feb. 23, minutes of meetings and presenta-

tions to the city’s building committee, minutes of “brain-storming meetings attended by city representatives and potential development partners, a kick-off/program meeting on Nov. 7, a program meeting on Nov. 13, the same day there was a meeting with Michael Cade of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, a meeting on Nov. 18, one on Nov. 18 with Cameron McGill of the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, and a preliminary presentation meeting on Nov. 22.” On Feb. 6 of this year, Freeman emailed Watson Engineering in Kamloops to provide cost estimates for various scenarios for the KDN building, including complete demolition, partial demotion with underground parking or with storage in the basement and parking on the main-floor slab or implosion. On Feb. 14, John Watson, a professional engineer with Watson Engineering Ltd., replied to Freeman. His report notes the original design “would not meet present structural codes and would have been tight even for the time.” Watson’s four-page analysis discusses the ability of the floors of the building to support heavy loads. It notes only 25 parking spaces could be created in the basement with existing columns in place, while a ramp to get down would cost about $240,000. Watson’s report says if the building was removed from the ground floor up and the basement filled in for the site to be paved for parking, it would cost about $400,000, an expense that may be reduced if the city could use some existing materials for the infilling. Discussions with people in Vancouver, Calgary and Kamloops led Watson to determine an implosion of the building “will be very expensive; no one is recommending if avoidable.” On March 6, Mayor Peter Milobar announced the city was buying the KDN building and surrounding property for $4.8 million, with the immediate goal to create additional parking.

SKI-DO0® SPRING FEVER

Milobar hoping to present two options X From A1

According to the report, the city requires about 84,000 square feet of space for a performingarts centre, with a 1,500-seat theatre and a 250- to 300-seat black-box theatre, as well as dressing rooms, rehearsal space and a public plaza. Milobar said all that can be made to fit on the 64,00 squarefoot Daily News site, but those footprints aren’t set in stone either. The city will take a closer look at space requirements once it brings on a consultant to develop a business case for the performing-arts centre, using $260,000 in gambling funds set aside by council during this year’s budget process. Milobar said the next round of studies will determine “what’s

realistic and what’s just a big dream.” By the time they are complete, the city should have enough information to take a plan for a performing-arts centre to referendum. “It should spell out very clearly to the taxpayer — here’s what the capital costs will be and here’s how they’ll be paid for. Here’s what the operating costs will be in a worst-case scenario,” he said. “All of those types of things need to get fully and properly looked at and brought out.” Milobar said a performingarts centre at the Daily News site will likely be one option presented to the public — but not the only option. “My expectation is that we’d probably use the Daily News

site as one of the sites that you would try to compare it to and, hopefully, use a second site and, hopefully, find an arrangement where you could publicly talk about another site for comparison’s sake,” he said. While second-site rumours abound, Milobar ruled out one community theory — the city isn’t looking at the former movie-theatre site at Sixth Avenue and Victoria Street. “That would never fit,” Milobar said. If a performing-arts centre doesn’t rise on the Daily News property, Milobar said the land is still a good spot for some sort of parkade project or a new city building. While a new city hall could be one use for the spot, Milobar said he’s in no hurry to see that happen.

Body discovered under tarp on path The BC Coroners Service and RCMP are investigating after the body of a man was found under a tarp in North Kamloops. On Saturday, April 5, just after 12:30 a.m., a passerby called police after spotting a man lying under a tarp in a makeshift camp along the bike path adjacent to Schubert Drive. The man said he attempted to wake the man to confirm he was OK, but received no response. Police and paramedics were called and determined the man was dead. The BC Coroners Service has identified the man as Glenn William Stecyk, 56, of no fixed address. While the investigation continues, foul

play has been ruled out.

Paintball shot narrowly misses child

A paintball shattered the window of a minivan in downtown Kamloops on the weekend, with the shards of glass narrowly missing a small child who was being placed in the vehicle at the time. Kamloops RCMP say the incident happened at about 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 6 in a Seymour Street parking lot between First and Second avenues. Somebody fired the paintball at the minivan, hitting and smashing the side window. The broken glass just missed going into the eyes of a small child who was being placed into his car seat by his father.

Fortunately, the child had his back to the window at the time. Police say had the shot been fired a moment later, the child likely would have suffered eye injuries from the flying glass. Mounties want to find who is responsible. The suspect vehicle is described as a forest-green mid-1990s Chev S10 regular cab, with a grey container in the back of the truck. The truck exterior was described as being dirty and carried two occupants. The truck was last seen heading eastbound on St. Paul Street. Anyone with information is asked to call the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Six years for stabbing friend to death By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A 31-year-old man who told a packed courtroom how he stabbed his friend Jesse Seymour to death has been sentenced to serve six years jail for manslaughter. Justice Dev Dley sentenced Torbin Alec on Friday, April 4, following an emotional day in B.C. Supreme Court. Dley concurred with a submission from the Crown, which asked for six years after Alec’s plea to manslaughter. The decision means Alec’s effective sentence is four years and three months, including time served in custody. He also has a lifetime firearms ban. “In his own way, Mr. Alec has expressed remorse for the death of his friend,” Dley said. On the third day of his trial, the Crown accepted a plea to the lesser charge of manslaughter. Alec was originally charged with second-degree murder. He later tried to withdraw that plea. But legal aid would not fund a defence. Alec, who was not represented, took the witness stand earlier Friday and detailed the night Seymour was killed — turning his body and speaking directly to the gallery, not the judge. He said Seymour was upset after getting into an argument with a girl at the Columbia Street house party both men were attending.

The men started talking about a separate issue, Alec said, but the argument soon became heated and Seymour had the upper hand. “I remember weighing my options,” Alec said. “My first one was I was going to cut him on the inside of his arm, but that could have cost him his arm. “So, I figured I’d just do it [stab Seymour] on the shoulder — bap. So I hit him on the shoulder,” Alec said, standing in the witness box to act out the stabbing motion. “Then he turned his arm and I thought he was going to swing at me, so I hit [stabbed] him again — bap. He was sitting on the ground saying, ‘Did you just f—–g stab me? Huh? Did you stab me? It’s tough shit to hear, man, but you panic — panic and desperation,” Alec said. “I hit him three more times in the ribs — bap, bap, bap.” Under questioning from Dley, Alec said he was acting in selfdefence. “In the heat of the moment I observed my options,” he said. ”The knife was a last resort to me.” Seymour’s family members in the courtroom began to engage in conversation with Alec — a back-and-forth B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley allowed to proceed. “You killed him,” shouted Shane Bottle, who was a witness during the trial.

“Yeah,” Alec replied. “I have to own that.” Seymour’s mother, Sandra Seymour, also spoke directly to Alec from the gallery. “My son let you in,” she said. “You were part of our family at one point. Enough.” Prior to Alec telling his side of the story, court heard victimimpact statements from two of Seymour’s family members. Sandra Seymour brought Alec to tears when she described her son as a “generous young man” who would offer friends a place to stay when they were in need. “I have panic attacks when I think about driving by the place where Jesse was killed,” she said. “I never go further down Columbia Street than Denny’s.” Sandra Seymour said she hurts for her grandson, who is now growing up without a father. “How do you tell a two-yearold their father is dead?” she said. “That daddy will never hold you or tickle you or tell you he loves you ever again?” Jade Seymour also read her victim-impact statement in court, talking about the close relationship she had with her brother before his death. “My life has changed since Jesse’s death,” she said. “I have spent many nights re-living the terror of the doctor telling me they could not save my brother’s life.”

Her smile, sense of humour, dedication to family and friends, and her love to party will be missed by all. Survived by her husband Armin, son Gregory (Alana) Krenz, daughter Stacy Kenny (Steve) and grandson Aiden Conor Kenny, sister Jean Moshenko, brothers Fred and John Kolida, Aunt Kathryn Wyers, and many cousins, nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her mother Mary Kolida on September 5th, 2013. A Celebration of life will be held Sunday, April 13, 2014 at 1:00 pm in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops BC. A very sincere thank you to all the staff at R.I.H and those in the Intensive Care Unit who took such great care of Betty until the end. A special thank you to Kathy Magee for all her support and help with Betty’s needs over the past year.

Frank to remain at home during his final weeks, ending his journey with respect, dignity, and a degree of comfort.

Family, friends, flyfishing were near and dear to Frank’s heart. He loved to introduce others to the sport of flyfishing, including his wife Christine. Flytying and fishing the beaches and the annual trek to Saratoga each fall were the highlights of the year. Family gatherings were always livened up with Frank’s great “memory” stories and his vocal talents whenever there was music – straight shootin’ comments thrown in at no charge! Clan gatherings reigned supreme and, in keeping with his Scottish heritage and tradition, family always came first.

No one knows our heartaches, Only those who have lost can tell Of the grief that we bear in silence. For the ones we’ve loved so well Angels in heaven

Love always,

Your family

Each loss is very diͿerent, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. 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.

shows housing-first initiative Apology for killing model Report helping homeless in Canada ASSOCIATED PRESS

PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA —

His voice shaking, Oscar Pistorius took the witness stand Monday, April 7, for the first time, testifying that he was trying to protect the girlfriend he killed and that he became so tormented by memories of the fatal shooting and panic attacks that he once hid helplessly in a closet. Pistorius also offered an apology to the family of Reeva Steenkamp, who died from multiple wounds after the double-amputee runner shot her through a closed toilet door last year in his home. He said he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder. Prosecutors allege he killed her after an argument. “There hasn’t been a moment since this tragedy happened that I haven’t thought about your family,’’ the athlete said at the murder trial as Steenkamp’s mother, June, looked impassively at him in the courtroom. “I was simply trying to protect Reeva. I can promise that when she went to bed that night she felt loved,’’ Pistorius said. Pistorius’ display of anguish and remorse was a marked departure from the testimony of some prosecution wit-

nesses whose accounts painted a picture of the runner as a hothead with a jealous streak, an inflated sense of entitlement and an obsession with guns in the months before he killed Steenkamp, a 29-yearold model. He has yet to be cross-examined about the shooting on Feb. 14, 2013, and that testimony is likely to be the centrepiece of a trial being broadcast on television and followed around the world. Pistorius was charged with premeditated murder and faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted. Some analysts think the judge, who will decide the case, will consider a lesser charge such as homicide, which could still send him to prison for years. Pistorius, 27, spoke in a soft, quavering voice at the start of his testimony, forcing Judge Thokozile Masipa to ask him to speak more loudly. He stood at first, stifling sobs as he said he was on antidepressant medication and sometimes woke from nightmares to the “smell of blood.’’ Defence lawyer Barry Roux, who had aggressively challenged prosecution witnesses since the trial began March 3, led Pistorius gently through events in

a life that was held up, in the runner’s heyday, as an inspiring tale. Pistorius was born without fibula bones because of a congenital defect, and his legs were amputated when he was 11 months old. He ran on carbonfiber blades and is a multiple Paralympic medallist. He also competed at the London Olympics but didn’t win a medal. Pistorius described the positive role of his mother, Sheila, and his grief when she died when he was a teenager. He spoke about the sacrifices he had made for his athletic achievements, his work with charity and how religion is important to him. Pistorius said he has been taking antidepressant medication since the week after he killed Steenkamp and has trouble sleeping. He described one night when he went to hide in a closet after waking up in “a panic.’’ “I climbed into a cupboard and I phoned my sister to come and sit by me, which she did for a while,’’ he said. His voice broke again, and he struggled to speak when

he described how Steenkamp was “a blessing’’ in his life. Yet, in cellphone messages revealed by prosecution, Steenkamp had once said Pistorius scared her. Pistorius will return Tuesday to continue testifying after the judge granted an early adjournment because she said Pistorius looked “exhausted.’’ Pistorius said he had not slept the night before. “The weight of this is extremely overbearing.’’ Pistorius also described how he felt vulnerable to crime, an attempt to explain his claim that he reacted to what he thought was a dangerous intruder in his bathroom by shooting with his ninemillimetre pistol. Prosecutors have provided a contrasting picture with evidence indicating he had been reckless with firearms in public, allegedly shooting his gun out of a sunroof on a road and asking a friend to take the blame for him when a gun was fired under a table in a busy restaurant weeks before he killed Steenkamp.

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — New conclusions by the Mental Health Commission of Canada suggest the housing first approach to battling homelessness is showing real results. The report, details of which were obtained by The Canadian Press, shows more than 2,000 homeless Canadians diagnosed with mental illness have found stable housing in all regions of the country over a two-year period. The massive At Home-Chez Soi pilot project, created in 2008 following a $110-million investment from the federal government, has proven effective for people from diverse cultural backgrounds and circumstances. The study suggests it has also been cost-effective, with every $10 invested resulting in cost savings of almost $22. At Home-Chez Soi helped find and pay for homes for mentally ill homeless people in five cities across Canada. It also provided recipients with as many social services as they needed to stay housed. The Mental Health Commission of Canada is officially releasing the report Tuesday in Ottawa, bringing the five-year project to a conclusion.

Assisted suicide debate needs another look TORONTO — Doctors need to move beyond the yes-or-no debate about physician-assisted death and begin preparing policies and guidelines in the event the act is legalized in Canada, a group of palliative-care specialists argues.

debate has become mired in for-andagainst arguments. The report states doctor-assisted suicide could become legal by the Supreme Court of Canada, which will review the existing law in October. It is legal in several European countries, among them Belgium and the Netherlands, and five U.S. states, including Washington and Oregon.

More, but not enough, women in law Federal surplus could mean tax breaks for Canadian families in 2015 CANADIAN PRESS

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The federal government will move to provide tax relief for families after balancing the budget next year, Finance Minister Joe Oliver said Monday, April 7, in his first speech to a Bay Street audience since beginning last month. “We believe Canadian families still pay too much in tax,’’ Oliver told the business audience in Toronto. “Once the budget is balanced, our priority will be to provide tax relief to

hard-working Canadian families.’’ Tax cuts in the 2015 budget would come ahead of an expected election next year. Oliver didn’t provide details of the tax breaks, promised during the last election, or get into specific plans for the projected surplus overall, saying that he will listen to debate from people all over the country before making any decisions about the more than $6-billion surplus expected next year.

CALGARY — The head of the Supreme Court of Canada says progress is being made in attracting more women to the legal profession. But, Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin told a legal conference in Calgary on Monday, April 7, 2014, that more work is necessary before

equality is achieved. McLachlin said in the past there were always assumptions about the role of women in society and, to some extent, those assumptions are still in effect. “Somehow we have a feeling that we could be doing better,” she said in a speech to the Canadian Corporate Counsel Association’s national conference. “So, my challenge

to you is to ask how can we be doing better and is the fact we’re not doing better related to some of these unstated assumptions?’’ Even though more women are entering the law profession or moving into federal politics, Canada is a long way from total gender equality, McLachlin said. “I would like to say we can do better,’’ she said.

“We still only have 25 per cent of our members of Parliament as women and, in Ontario, 37 per cent of the practising bar are women despite the fact that women are graduating from law schools in slightly greater numbers than men.’’ McLachlin, 70, is the longest-serving chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada.

McDonald’s accused of improper hiring OTTAWA — The federal government has blacklisted a McDonald’s franchise in Victoria, along with two other employers, while it investigates alleged misuses of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. The owner of the McDonald’s franchise could face criminal prosecution, up to five years in prison and up

to $100,000 in fines. The restaurant owner is alleged to have hired foreign workers in place of Canadians. The Temporary Foreign Worker Program has been under increased scrutiny after a series of abuses, including a case last year where Royal Bank displaced a number of Canadian workers after contracting out

IT services to a foreign supplier. The Harper government has since backtracked on changes it made to the program, including allowing businesses to pay foreign workers up to 15 per cent less than the average wage for a job. It also pledged to impose hefty penalties by 2015 for employers who abuse the program.

Storm season ends with Game 6 drubbing By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

N ABRUPT ENDING to a promising season will leave members of the Kamloops Storm wondering if they left it all on the ice. “We didn’t get the big saves and we didn’t get the big goals,” Storm head coach Ed Patterson said. “For some reason, they just couldn’t dig deep enough.” The Beaver Valley Nitehawks thumped Kamloops 6-0 in Game 6 of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League final in Fruitvale on Friday, April 4, claiming the league title and a berth in the junior B provincial championship. After winning the regular-season points race and rolling through the playoffs, the Storm ran out of steam in the championship series. Neither of Kamloops’ goalten-

Vibe, B.C. champs, set sights on Western Shield By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

After a bronze-medal finish in 2013, the Kamloops Vibe are looking to exact revenge at this year’s Western Shield Championship. The senior women’s hockey championships, which will take place in Red Deer, Alta., from Thursday, April 10 to Sunday, April 13, will see Kamloops playing in the B division against some of the best competition in Western Canada, including the Assiniboine College Cougars of Manitoba, the Edmonton Renegades, the Grande Prairie Panthers and fellow B.C. club South Fraser TNT. Kamloops has won four straight BC Hockey female senior A championships. “It’s truly the best hockey that young ladies can play,” Vibe head

coach Gerry Smith said. “The ones that are still passionate and want to play, this is where you find them.” The Vibe are advancing to the tournament for the fifth time in Smith’s five-year tenure, a run that has seen the club capture two bronze medals, a silver and a gold. The 2014 incarnation of the squad is one of the strongest to date, Smith said, with a mix of youth and experience taking to the ice for Kamloops. The team will bring 17 players to Red Deer. “Having a team that’s been there five times, there’s a degree of expertise that comes with that,” Smith told KTW. “That experience is going to serve us well. “I’d say they’re the best they’ve been. We have the strongest hockey team that we’ve had to this point.”

Smith knows anything can happen once the tournament gets underway. He said the Vibe were the favourites heading into the Shield championship in Surrey last season, but came away with bronze after being unable to find the back of the net during round-robin play. The year they won, on the other hand, the team had just 10 players at the tournament and defeated a Grande Prairie club in the final that iced a roster of 20. “It’s a lot of fun and the competitive side of me comes out,” Vibe defenceman Desiree Blair said. “I just really look forward to going out there and playing with the team.” Blair, one of the team’s alternate captains, is one of a number of veterans returning for another shot at a gold medal against the best of the West. “We have to use our speed, play

smart and stick together as a team, with a positive attitude,” she said. “If we use our experience to our advantage, we should be very successful.” The Vibe will open the tournament in a B.C. grudge match, facing the South Fraser TNT

on Thursday. Kamloops defeated South Fraser 3-1 in the provincial championship to advance to the tournament as B.C.’s representative. The TNT were a default entry after Saskatchewan declined to send a team to the Shield.

Stuck at seven — KIBT needs another entrant Adam Williams

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

There was a brief moment of joy for Dean Padar and organizers of the Kamloops International Baseball Tournament, but it was followed by more disappointment. With seven teams already committed to KIBT 2014 — the Kelowna Jays, Red Deer Riggers, North West Honkers, Seattle Studs, Thurston Country Senators, Everett Merchants and Kamloops Sun Devils — Padar received word the Nanaimo Coal Miners would be taking the eighth and final spot in the tournament.

But, just days later, the KIBT president was told the Jays would be withdrawing their entry. Kelowna’s team was young and inexperienced and would also be leaving the Pacific International League, where it played against other KIBT entries, such as the Merchants, Sun Devils, Honkers and Studs. It was disappointing for organizers, who were hoping to move on to planning other aspects of the tournament with the slate of

Hinsz a highlight at Best of West tournament By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

As Gage Hinsz settled into his delivery at Canada Games Field on Friday, April 4, a dozen radar guns and video cameras rose in unison behind the backstop. The 6-foot-4 pitcher wound up and delivered his pitch, a fastball strike past the batter, whose bat remained on his shoulder. The major-league scouts in attendance lowered their guns, took a few notes and prepared for the next delivery. Hinsz was in the Tournament Capital on Friday for the 2014 Best of the West Invitational tournament, taking the mound to pitch for the Langley Blaze. A 17-year-old senior from Billings West High School in Billings, Mont., Hinsz is one of the top American-born prospects heading into the 2015 Major League Baseball entry draft. His arrival in Kamloops garnered a fair amount of attention. But, like most elite athletes, Hinsz said the scouts and spectators fade into the background when he takes the mound. “Honestly, I don’t even see it,” he said following the game, a 5-1

victory over the Parksville Royals. “I’m focused on the game, trying to get that job done. “I guess if I did look, it might be more exciting than anything, just kind of knowing that’s going on.” Doug Mathieson is the Blaze’s head coach. “If you can’t focus now, how would you focus in Yankee Stadium?” Mathieson said. “You can’t be nervous playing baseball, because it only accelerates down the road.” Hinsz didn’t disappoint in his outing on Friday, just his second of the season, going five innings and giving up one run. Scouts in attendance — including talent touters from the Chicago Cubs, the Milwaukee Brewers, the San Diego Padres, the Philadelphia Phillies and the Cincinnati Reds — clocked the hurler at speeds between 88 m.p.h. and 91 m.p.h. His fastball has been known to reach 94 m.p.h. The Montana product is playing with the Blaze to get an earlier start on his season. Weather in Montana has been ugly thus far in 2014 and his home club, the American Legion Club

Billings Scarlets, isn’t going yet. “It’s a little rough, especially back home, with the real bad weather,” Hinsz said. “Trying to get going is tough, but it will come along.” Al Geddes, a 20-year scout with the Cubs, was one of a number with his eyes on the hurler on Friday. He said Hinsz’s size and arm strength are what set him apart from some of the other pitchers at Best of the West — they allow him to keep the ball going downhill, away from batters and their eyes, making him harder to hit. Though he didn’t commit to Hinsz going in a specific spot at the upcoming draft, he said the smoke-thrower is a promising prospect. “It’s hard to say, the rounds change,” Geddes said. “He’ll go alright.” Hinsz returned to his home state on Sunday, at the conclusion of the tournament. Langley claimed its fifth consecutive Best of the West title with a victory over the Okanagan A’s. A Grade 12 student, he will finish his senior year and head to Oregon State

Musician returns for show with UBC orchestra By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Lucas O’Fee was in Grade 8 at McGowan Park elementary, he was accepted into the Kamloops District Honour Band. The young trombone player was thrilled when that choir got to share the stage with a wind ensemble from the University of British Columbia Symphony Orchestra. At the time, playing at such an advanced level was just a dream for the youngster who, as a third-

year student at UBC, will be back in his hometown as a member of that orchestra as it heads out on its first tour with all its musicians. And, just as with those wind musicians, the orchestra will perform with the district honour choir and band, which counts among its musicians O’Fee’s younger brother, Colin, who plays percussion. The concert includes Don Juan by Richard Strauss, Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 35, by Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky and Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op.

67, by Ludwig Beethoven. Conducting will be Jonathan Girard, who O’Fee called the most gifted conductor with whom he’s worked and from whom he has learned. Girard teaches a conducting class O’Fee is in, as well as a music-appreciation class that sees students read a different symphonic piece every week. O’Fee said choosing the trombone was his mother’s idea, indirectly. “My mom saw me struggling with the piano and the recorder,”

Orchestra for its Christmas show. O’Fee is combining his musical studies with business courses and hopes “I am going to be able to find a way to do both. It’s always been my dream to be in a symphony orchestra but I wanted to continue my intrigue with the business world. The concert is at Sagebrush Theatre on Wednesday, April 9, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 and $10 for students. Tickets are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483.

he said. “She strongly recommended I choose an instrument that didn’t require a lot of fingerwiggling.” He said he knew he wanted to be in the brass section and chose the trombone “because I like to be loud and the centre of attention — and all my friends back there are going to laugh when they read this.” He last performed in Kamloops in 2011 when asked to fill in for a vacationing trombone player with the Kamloops Symphony

Authors to share insight into Vietnam

A university professor will be hosting a free tour at the Kamloops Art Gallery on Thursday, April 10. Robert Belton, an art history associate professor at the University

of British Columbia Okanagan, will tour the Unreal exhibit. The tour begins at 7 p.m., 101-465 Victoria St. For more information, visit kag.bc.ca.

Juried art show on until April 13

The Thompson Nicola Shuswap Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists is hosting a juried art show at the Old Courthouse Centre for the Arts until

Sunday, April 13. Seventy-two pieces are on display as well as 16 additional signature pieces for a professional award and an artist will be working each day of the show.

A FREE TV. Endless places to put it.

A husband and wife author duo will be speaking about their book at the library on Wednesday, April 9. Their book, Back to Vietnam: Tours of the Heart, looks at Vietnam from two different perspectives. One perspective takes readers into the battlefields of the war with Logan, a young officer for the United States Army. The other perspective shows present-day Vietnam, as the authors return 40 years after the war ended to help the country through ongoing humanitarian work. The free event will be held at the Kamloops Library, 465 Victoria St., at 7 p.m. Space is limited. Reserve a spot by contacting the library at 250-372-5145.

STAFF REPORTER

Louie Anderson feels at home in Canada — maybe a little too at home. “People actually always think I’m Canadian,” the comedian, who was born and raised in Minnesota, told KTW. “I try not to dissuade them. I always say, ‘Oh yeah.’” Anderson said his upperMidwest roots fit in well with friendly Canadians. “In Canada, if you ask for directions, they don’t just give you directions — they’ll drive you there,” he said. “Then they honk and head out. “I have nothing but good times up there and good shows. “You have everything we have, right? And we have everything you have — except Tim Hortons.” Anderson, who is playing Kamloops on Friday, April 25, spoke to KTW from Las Vegas, where he has a regular show — Louie Anderson Live — at the Plaza Hotel and Casino. He said he enjoys taking his show on the road. “I like getting out of town,” he said. “I like going to places I haven’t been.” As for the show, Anderson said he wants people to feel as at home in the theatre as he does in the Great White North. “I always say, ‘It’s a living room setting with a spotlight and a mic,’” he said. “And, with a mischievous kid on the mic trying to cause trouble.” Anderson said the Kamloops show will be a mix of old and new. “I’m looking forward to it,” he said. “I’m going to do a bunch of

Buttonwillow Raceway finishes with a flourish by ramping you over a butt-clenching blind corner before a long sweeper spits the car into a series of highcurbed, back-and-forth S-curves. I eased off the accelerator and exhaled for the first time as I turned in toward the pit-lane entrance. “What do you think?” the instructor asked me. Frankly, I hadn’t exactly found time to pick apart every nuance of the 2015 Subaru WRX and its 2015 Subaru WRX STI stable mate, even though I had now put in a few laps in both new models. We pulled up to a stop-in pit lane and Masuo Takatsu, who is in charge of the project, seemed to silently echo the instructor’s question with an inquisitive lift of his eyebrows. Even Tommi freakin’ Makinen, the four-time WRC champion, was fishing for feedback. “Handling is neutral, yes?” he asked, coming over to the car and leaning into the cockpit window. Subaru first spiced up their small car Impreza lineup with a World Rally Cross (WRX) derivative angled towards the World Rally Championship competition. They followed this up with an even more dedicated WRX Sport Technica International (STI) high-performance version later.

But, as the years passed, the design team shifted focus to tarmac competition, with entries slated for the 24 hours of Nurburgring and other racetrack challenges. It’s all part of the evolution of the product. And, though even minor changes can cause anxious swooning in the ranks, for 2015, Subaru has introduced major modifications to help keep the WRX and WRX STI models on top of the ranks. Both cars, available in sedan form only, start with a rigid platform and body reinforcements, stiffer suspension bits and lighter, stronger wheels. They also come with new, tighter steering ratios and Subaru’s torque-vectoring system to complement the gokart-like handling. Across the board, changes include a 25-millimetre wheelbase stretch. Dimensional changes

have added a little more shoulder room inside along with 900 millimetres of more legroom for rear passengers. Door openings are larger, step-in height is lower and the trunk space has increased, growing from 320 litres to 340 litres. Interior changes include a smaller diameter, thicker and softer D-shaped steering wheel and more. Really, there are simply too many enhancements to list here including a rear-vision camera and new boostgauge readout display. All of it is wrapped up tidily in a more dramatic exterior presentation with a hexagonal

grille, an aluminum hood and more pronounced fenders. Changes also include an air-ducting treatments, side mirrors moved to the doors, a lower but familiar trademark profile and a rear diffuser accented with a quad-tipped exhaust system and a choice of either the WRX’s subtle lip spoiler or the big wing treatment available with the WRX STI. “So, what do you think?” they asked again. “Well, I think we’ve got a winner here. Or, should I say, two winners.” The WRX and Sport Lineartronic automatic transmission should

broaden the appeal and customer base to at least the 20 per cent of sales Subaru is expecting. I think the very real steering, handling and performance tweaks of the WRX STI will keep that ultimate Subaru true to its highperformance mantra, even with all the added niceties. “And, I think,” I finally answered with a grin, “that I need to take a few more laps.”

Andrea

After significant research and development, our winemakers have created a mystically perfect blend of Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot that is equally suited to mingling at a party or pondering the mysteries of the universe. This rich and velvety smooth new red from California reveals intense fruity aromas on opening. On the palate, this full bodied red offers rich flavours of black cherry, mocha, spice and vanilla and closes with a velvety, smooth finish.
