Monster Trucks injecting $500,000 into city economy By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

are aware families of the women will be watching the investigation closely. “We do have empathy for that and we do understand the importance of identifying the individual as quickly as possible for their family and any other families of missing persons,” Bush said. “This will be done as quickly as possible while also protecting the integrity of the scene in the event that this is determined to be a homicide investigation.”

A movie now being filmed in Kamloops is expected to bring more money into the community than the industry did all of last year. The Thompson-Nicola Film Commission estimates an injection of more than $500,000 from the live-action and animated film Monster Trucks, which has been on location at Kamloops Airport and the T’kemlups Indian Band reserve for the past two weeks. Film commissioner Vicci Weller said that dollar figure comes from room and board, equipment and vehicle rentals — including a helicopter, local crew and extras, location fees and set construction. That doesn’t include money spent by the crew on their own time. One of many signs in “The bonus is the Kamloops directing crew per diems,” she said. members to the Monster “That I can’t track.” Trucks movie set at Kamloops Airport. Weller said she Dave Eagles/KTW signed a confidentiality agreement with the production company and can’t speak about the movie. “I’m not allowed to talk about it,” Weller said. It’s not clear what the movie is about, but is said to include CGI in a hybrid combination of live action and animation that could eventual turn into a series of films. Online movie resource IMDb.com has revealed a few details about the movie. Expected to premier next year, it has a $125-million budget and is produced by Disruption Entertainment and Paramount Animation.

Police work to identify human remains By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

Kamloops RCMP say remains found in a remote are west of the city’s wastewater-treatment plant on Mission Flats Road were skeletal. However, beyond that fact, police have released few new details about how they came to be on private ranch land. At a press conference on Wednesday, April 9, Cpl.

early for police to release any information on the person found or what circumstances led to the death. “I think once we further examine the scene with the coroners service, we’ll be better able to comment on that,” she said. “I think that, at this point, it would be too early to speculate how the remains ended up at that site.” While police aren’t saying if the remains are linked to missing women Cassandra Wilson or Samantha Paul, Bush said RCMP

Tough times for grassroots mining exploration By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Grassroots exploration in British Columbia is lagging, despite nearly a half-billion dollars spent in 2012, industry representatives warned at an industry conference in Kamloops. The Kamloops Exploration Group held its 27th annual conference this week at the Kamloops Coast Hotel and Conference Centre. Association president Colin Russell estimated about 450 prospectors, miners, suppliers and geologists attended this year’s event, down by about 50 from the

past several years. “For a lot of people, it’s been a tough couple years,” Russell told KTW. “Something like 29 junior companies have gone bankrupt in the past few years.” Ranks are also being thinned by mergers and acquisitions among junior firms. Gavin Dirom, president of the Association for Mineral Exploration B.C., told delegates this province remains a centre of excellence worldwide for exploration. There are an estimated 1,000 junior-exploration firms and another 2,500 suppliers in B.C., which is home to about three per cent of the world’s mineral exploration. “It’s a vastly underdeveloped

jurisdiction,” he said. “It’s got huge exploration potential.” Total exploration dollars spent in B.C. last year remained high, at nearly $500 million — 10 times the value of 2001 — but fell from a record of $680 million in 2012. However, Dirom noted, that is concentrated among a handful of advanced projects, including KGHM’s proposed Ajax copper and gold mine in Kamloops. “Our challenge is we’re not getting enough money into early grassroots projects,” he said. Another indication of a weak sector is the fact the amount of diamond drilling, measured in metres, is at average levels. Dave Piggin, a retired forester-

turned-prospector, was at the conference showing his Barriere Ridge property. He was one of a number of prospectors shopping their finds. “It’s tough,” said Piggin, whose research includes sampling on the ground as well as searches through historic mineral records dating back a century. “Junior companies don’t have the money to do a lot of exploring.” Piggin blamed the continuing hangover from 2008’s market crash, along with recent falling prices of copper and gold. He has shown silver, zinc and lead at his property and is hoping to attract interest of a junior-exploration company. Until he does, all his work comes at his own cost.

“I’ll do some soil sampling this year and I’ll be talking to First Nations about acceptable practices,” Piggin said. The industry is opposing a Mines Act permit fee proposed by the B.C. Liberal government. It is also concerned about recent federal and provincial decisions to reject the proposed Prosperity mine in the Chilcotin and the proposed Pacific Booker Minerals’ Morrison project near Babine Lake in the Central Interior. Despite those setbacks for the industry, Dirom said B.C. has built-in advantages, including proximity to Asia, inexpensive power and tax incentives for exploration.

Food-truck plan to public hearing By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

A city plan to allow food trucks to operate in more areas of the city is headed to public hearing on a date yet to be set. Kamloops city council has voted unanimously to move forward with regulatory changes that would allow the trucks to operate downtown, in Spirit Square on the North Shore and in other commercial and industrial areas of the city. Coun. Donovan Cavers sat out the debate because his own mobile-catering business could double as a food truck, though he said he has no plans to start serving food curbside. Should council opt to adopt the new regulations following the public hearing, food trucks could be rolling downtown by mid-May. Director of development services Marvin Kwiatkowski told council the downtown pilot project would run until October. Trucks would rotate between spots on Victoria Street near Fifth Avenue and Seymour Street near Second Avenue from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. for a

fee of $15 a day, not including permits or electrical costs. While the current regulations don’t speak to the kind of food for sale on trucks — save that most must be cooked in the vehicle, not pre-packaged — Coun. Ken Christian wondered whether the city should consider encouraging diverse options. “Part of that foodie experience is the variety,” he said. “I don’t want to envision 15 hot-dog stands all in a row.” Kwiatkowski said businesses consulted by the city urged staff not to get into nitpicking menus, but the city could look at more regulations around what type of food is served from trucks in the future if it became an issue.

Guilt overwhelms offender after 18 years By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A stepfather wracked by guilt showed up at the Kamloops RCMP detachment in May of last year demanding to confess to sexual touching his 11-year-old stepdaughter — a crime that occurred 16 years ago. “These facts show [the offender] had very serious problems with his conscience,” B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop said on Tuesday, April 8, before handing the man a six-month conditional sentence, along with one year of probation for sexual interference of a person under 14. The girl’s name is protected by a publication ban, which also prevents naming her stepfather in order to protect her identity. Crown prosecutor Chris Balison said the man, now 43, first confessed to his then-wife in or around 1995. She reported it to police but, on the advice of a lawyer, the stepfather was told not to speak to police. The investigation stalled and no charges resulted.

However, in the early morning hours of May 10 of last year, the distraught, but sober, stepfather went to Kamloops Mounties. “He insisted he may commit suicide if he couldn’t get it off his chest,” Balison said. After speaking with a lawyer, the man told police he would sneak into his stepdaughter’s room and touch her chest. He would also masturbate at her bedside while she slept. RCMP were concerned the man was underplaying the extent of his crime, but his estranged family confirmed the facts. Under the law of the day, a conditional sentence is available for the offence. Today, it would require a jail sentence. Despite the admission, Balison called the man an untreated sex offender who needs counselling. Under terms of the ruling, he will not be permitted to be alone around children during his sentence or probation. He will also be added to the federal sexoffender registry for 20 years. Defence lawyer Matt Ford said his client, a former soldier, was sexually abused as a child by his father in the United Kingdom.

METH TASK FORCE MEETS TODAY

The task force created by local Rotarians to look at the prevalence of crystal meth in the city will hold its next meeting today (April 10). Julie Kimmel, a member of the group, said the task force will look at “how to integrate with the community int terms of support systems already in place.” The meeting will also review and clarify the needs in the community. The task force held its first meeting in December, with members of the Kamloops Daybreak Rotary Club connecting with others, including the RCMP, to see what it can do to address the issue. The template used comes from a Rotary club in Maple Ridge. The program there involves a 90-day plan to address education, enforcement and rehabilitation. Since it was introduced, other Rotary clubs in the province have also taken on the project.

ARREST LED TO RELEASE FROM DRUG By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Rachel Hillier said there really was just one thing that helped her get off meth — house arrest. To get to that point, however, was a journey the 20-year-old never expected to be taking but, in looking back at her life, was likely inevitable. “I was a shithead,” she said, pointing to the death of her best friend at age 13. “Everything went downhill from then.” Her life became one many teens recognize — fighting with her mother, using recreational drugs, acting out and eventually being sent to live with her grandmother. When she was 17, Hillier watched a friend smoke meth. “I was curious about its taste, about the high,” she said. “And I was addicted right away.” It was an easy drug to buy, costing about $10 a point (about 1/10th of a gram), with the high lasting for days. “Ten dollars wasn’t that hard to get,” she said. Bob Hughes, executive director of the ASK Wellness Centre, agrees one of the attractions of meth is its low cost and long high. “It’s a young person’s drug because it’s cheap, but it’s taxing on the body,” he said. “You stay up for days.” Meth appeals particularly to young women with self-esteem or body issues,

Hughes said, because it curtails appetite. At one time, the drug was legal and often prescribed by doctors as a diet pill or antidepressant. It fell out of favour because of its likelihood of addiction, its toxicity, the potential damage it can inflict on dopamine and serotonin neurons and the potential for psychosis. Dopamine is essential to the brain for motor control, motivation and other functions. Serotonin is associated with aggressive behaviour, irritability, eating disorders and sleeping problems. “Long-term meth use makes you psychotic,” Hughes said. “You’re up for days and days and days and then you crash and burn.” Hillier said her outlook on life changed right when she started using. “I didn’t care about anybody, anything. It was all about getting high and keeping my high going,” she said. Hughes praised an initiative started by the Kamloops Daybreak Rotary Club to address meth use in Kamloops, one that is designed to engage the community in a discussion and find ways to fight the drug. It was sparked by a meeting between club members and Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller, who identified meth as the No. 1 drug of choice in the city, fuelling property thefts so people can come up with the bit of money needed to buy it. For Hillier, it fuelled much more and she found herself arrested and placed on house arrest. “I could go to school or work, but no

drinking, drugs, anything like that,” she said. Hillier credits the arrest with helping her get sober, noting her house arrest was in Rayleigh — “and nobody goes there to get drugs.” Her recovery was hard, Hillier said, and she had some relapses but, after completing a six-month program at a Surrey clinic, she’s been off drugs for almost a year. “I drink occasionally, but now I’m healthy and I have goals,” she said. Hillier’s relationship with her mother has improved, but mom doesn’t yet fully trust daughter. Hillier is slowly rebuilding her life, attending counselling meetings and following the 12 steps recommended for people seeking sobriety. She noted being drug-free can result in changes socially. “I have no friends except my best friend and my ex-boyfriend,” Hillier said. She contacted KTW after reading a story about the Rotary campaign, reaching out because she feels people needed to hear from someone recovering from meth addiction. While she understands why the Rotarians are creating the task force, Hillier said there’s one basic reality club members — and everyone — needs to understand. “It’s true what they say,” she said. “You have to want to help yourself before you can accept help.”

Industry wants more action on tax relief RIVER CITY NISSAN By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops’ heavyindustrial ratepayers say they need to see more action from the city when it comes to tax relief. At its budget meeting in late March, city council agreed to shift responsibility for $250,000 of this year’s tax bill from industry and to homeowners. The move added about $10 to the tax bill for the average-assessed home ($341,000), but Arclin plant manager Dwayne Sauka said it doesn’t do much to ease his company’s propertytax bill, which comes in at about $125,000. “We only have 10 employees here,” he said. “We don’t make a huge chunk of profit, so that $125,000 a year, that’s a big chunk for us.” Arclin, Tolko Industries, Lafarge and Domtar have repeatedly asked the city to bring down the mill rate for heavy industries from about $79 per $1,000 of assessed value to about $40 per $1,000, which is the provincial average. This is the second year council has shifted slightly the tax burden

from industry to homeowners. In 2013, the shift saw homeowners paying about $7.50 extra. Sauka said he would have liked to see the city take more aggressive action. “I’m not too impressed,” he said. “They seem to drag their feet a lot.” Domtar, which pays the lion’s share of the city’s heavy-industrial taxes, is also urging more action. “We really are looking for additional steps as council sees opportunities to take to rebalance these rates so we can approach something representing the provincial average,” Domtar spokeswoman Bonny Skene said. Representatives from Tolko and Lafarge did not respond to requests for comment by KTW, but plant managers from both companies signed on to a letter sent to city council at the beginning of March calling for tax decreases. Though the letter was penned before council decided to offset some of the industrial tax rate for 2014, it landed on council’s agenda this week. The letter points to

an economic-impact study commissioned by Venture Kamloops, which identified the city’s high property taxes for commercial and industrial ratepayers as a weakness. It urges council to “ensure Kamloops is a competitive location.” Council elected to send a letter to the four companies, explain-

ing the actions it has taken so far, as well as its plan to annex the New Gold Mine, which would chop about $25 off the heavy-industrial mill rate. Mayor Peter Milobar said council should be ready to formally notify the province of its boundary expansion plans by the end of the month.

Teacher handed suspension Educator already received discharge in court Sixteen months after a physical confrontation with a student, a Kamloops teacher has been disciplined by the B.C. Commissioner for Teacher Regulation. Andrew Coates, a shop teacher at South Kamloops secondary at the time of the Nov. 1, 2012, incident, received a two-week suspension of his certificate required to teach. It began on Monday, April 7, and continues to Tuesday, April 22. The ruling is the result of a report the Kamloops-Thompson school district sent to the commissioner on Nov. 26, 2012, about the incident that also led to Coates being charged with assault and handed an absolute discharge and fine. On Nov. 1, 2012, Coates was trying to pull into the parking lot

at the Munro Street school when a group of male students deliberately walked in front of his car, forcing him to a sudden stop. Coates attempted to speak to one of the group, then a Grade 9 student. The student did not respond. Later in the day, the student entered Coates’ classroom, where the teacher confronted him, placed his hands on the student’s chest — causing the student to take a couple of steps back — and verbally confronted the youth. The ruling indicated Coates said “words to the effect of, ‘That’s the most chickenshit thing I’ve ever seen someone do,’ and, ‘Do you want to try and intimidate me now?’” In Kamloops provincial court in 2013, Coates pleaded guilty and was ordered to pay a $100

victim-fine surcharge. At the time, Judge Stephen Harrison said factors influencing his decision to render an absolute discharge were Coates enrolling an anger-management program, the fact a suspension would cost him part of his salary and the embarrassment the teacher has experienced from the incident. The district imposed a one-month suspension after it reviewed the situation. Coates agreed with all the facts presented to the commissioner, admitted his behaviour was professional misconduct and agreed to the suspension. He is also required to provide proof to the commissioner by Aug. 30 that he has completed anger-management counselling with a psychologist approved by the commissioner.

City’s planned arts, heritage merger delayed By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A planned merger of the city’s arts and heritage commissions is on hold until the end of the month following an outcry from the members of one of the two committees. The two groups have struggled to find enough committee members and to have enough members to create a quorum (minimum number of members required to hold a meeting), something parks, recreation and culturalservices director Byron McCorkell believes the merger will improve.

However, heritage commission chairman Andrew Yarmie said his group doesn’t like the move and doesn’t feel there was adequate consultation on the plan. In a letter to city council, Yarmie said the group wasn’t given enough notice that council was planning to debate the matter at its Tuesday, April 8, meeting and had not yet seen the terms of reference for the new cultural commission the city hopes to create. The heritage commission’s last attempt to provide feedback on the merger was cancelled when city

ANDREW YARMIE: Heritage commission chairman says there has not been enough consultation on the city’s plan to combine the heritage and arts commissions.

recreation, socialdevelopment and culture manager Barbara Berger couldn’t attend. Yarmie said members are concerned about the move.

“Some feel the cultural commission will be too large and be beyond their comfort zone in providing input,” he wrote. “The combined duties and responsibility of arts and heritage is too broad and will lead to inefficiency and be counterproductive of existing mandates.” At the commission’s request, council voted 5-3 to hold off on a discussion of a merger until later this month. Mayor Peter Milobar and councillors Pat Wallace and Ken Christian voted against the deferral.

Trudeau fights the good fight against our Harpertocracy

’M STARTING TO LIKE this new generation of Trudeau politician. When he announced he wanted to be leader of the federal Liberal party, I was aghast. What exactly had Justin Trudeau done to warrant that kind of a reward — other than be born with the right surname? When the Liberals then elected him on the first ballot, I wondered if mass confusion had overtaken the delegates at the conference They chose him by a strong margin — 24,668 votes. Second place went to Joyce Murray, with 3,139 votes. Immediately, Conservative spin doctor Fred DeLorey issued a press release congratulating the former teacher, but noting Trudeau “may have a famous name but, in a time of global economic uncertainty, he doesn’t have the judgment or experience to be prime minister.” Trudeau may not have the experience but, more and more, he’s showing he has the judgment for the job — if you believe we need a prime minister who seems accessible, does not mind actually getting involved with people and loves speaking his mind. This week’s announcement was, quite simply, brilliant as Trudeau stepped in front of the press gallery reporters in Ottawa — a group with whom Prime Minister Stephen Harper chooses to not deal — and promised to repeal the truly horrific and potentially undemocratic Fair Elections Act if he becomes

DALE BASS Street LEVEL prime minister. Just as he did when he disowned Liberal senators, Trudeau has summed up what NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair has been hammering away at for weeks, but he did it with the kind of panache his old man had for the game of politics. Mulcair’s speeches against the legislation former auditor general Sheila Fraser has decried as “an affront to democracy” have been what you’d expect from a lawyer — long on words and rhetoric and playing to the jury (that’s all of us who watch or read the news and who actually care enough to vote). Trudeau just stepped back into the boxing ring in his mind and wound up with the same kind of jab he threw at then-senator Patrick Brazeau, calling the Harperapproved bill “bad for democracy. He hopes, should it be passed, it inspires all of you out there who don’t vote to head to the polling stations in the next federal election and finally rid the country of this Harpertocracy.

For those who have been asleep, the reasons anyone with a functioning brain is speaking out against this bill are many: • Fraser: It could infringe on the independence of Elections Canada, restrict what the chief-electoral officer can do and disenfranchise voters unable to prove their address. She used her daughter as an example, a university student living at home with no bills in her name who receives almost all her correspondence by email. • Chief electoral-officer Marc Mayrand: It is virtually unheard of to require voters to prove their addresses. Only one state does and the U.K. Australia, New Zealand and India don’t, for example. The act would no longer allow voter cards Elections Canada sends out be used as ID at polling stations. • The Charter of Rights and Freedoms: Section three states “every citizen of Canada has the right to vote in an election of the members of the House of Commons,” a statement the Supreme Court of Canada ruled is more important “that the procedures used to facilitate and protect that right.” • Democratic Reform Minister (do we really need a minister for this?) Pierre Poilievre: Mayrand “wants more power, a bigger budget and less accountability.” I think Poilievre is confused. It’s Harper who wants that. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com

Harcourt’s exodus raises questions Mike Harcourt was probably too nice a guy to become premier of B.C., especially as the first leader of the NDP to win power after the fondly remembered (by NDPers, at least) Dave Barrett government of 1972 to 1975. The Barrett government was the first NDP government to take power in B.C. after being in opposition as the CCF and NDP for almost 40 years. Harcourt led the party back to power after 16 years in the wilderness. He had earlier served as mayor of Vancouver. He styled himself as “Moderate Mike,” a fairly accurate label as he tended to try to make as many people happy as possible and not bash business quite as much as some of his colleagues were prone to do. However, he fell victim to the endless plotting that seems to be an integral part of the NDP’s DNA. Barrett had taken over after Tom Berger failed to win power in 1969, in an election the NDP were sure they could win. Barrett was then knifed by labour allies in his last year in power. Harcourt was under pressure over the Nanaimo Commonwealth Holding Society, an NDP-controlled organization involved in many questionable financial moves. He had nothing to do with it, but the fact it came out on his watch caused some of his cabinet, notably Moe Sihota, Joan Smallwood and Glen Clark, to go after him. Despite the shoddy way he was treated, Harcourt remained a member of the NDP and campaigned frequently for the party. In January, he decided not to renew his membership, a fact made known last week. It received a lot of media attention, not surprisingly, given the fact Harcourt endorsed Adrian Dix’s campaign less than a year ago. Harcourt said the Kinder Morgan flip-flop, the attack on Carole James’ leadership (do we detect a pattern here?) and the NDP’s fight against the carbon tax in 2009 caused him to not bother paying his dues this year. Those are reasonable doubts and his action will cause many within the NDP to ponder just where their party is headed as it undergoes its second leadership campaign in three years.

Re: Letter: Nothing wrong with shaking up council on election day:

Can KGHM even afford to develop Ajax mine? Editor: The 80 per cent owner of the proposed Ajax mine south of Aberdeen has released its 2013 financial results — and they were a total disaster. Revenue declined by 23 per cent — from $1.38 billion to $1,07 billion — while net income fell from $103.8 million to $9.4 million, a poor return on its $3-billion-plus investment in North and South America. Earnings were negatively impacted by low metal prices, the closure of the Podolsky mine near Sudbury and the $55.4-million writedown of KGHM’s Carlotta mine in Arizona, which is now scheduled for closure. A review of its current projects highlights its flagship Sierra Gorda Mine in Chile, 55 per cent owned by KGHM International, which is now 83 per cent complete and scheduled for ramp-up later this year. The $3.9-billion project is $1 billion

over budget and more if you consider the mining equipment, originally planned to be purchased, will now be leased to reduce capex costs. This will result in higher operating costs at the mine. There are also other challenges, such as several legal actions and two injunctions against the locations of facilities at the project, plus increased resource taxes and pressure on labour costs in Chile. KGHM’s second priority is the Victoria mine near Sudbury, which is proceeding well in its permitting stage. This is a $750-million project. It is interesting that Ajax is not even mentioned in KGHM’s 50-page financial report or in the 23-page Manager’s Discussion and Analysis. The only reference to Ajax can be found in the parent company’s annual report, which states a new mine design will be produced to take into consideration the “new north Ajax pit.”

It should also be noted the grade of copper for Ajax in the report is 10 per cent overstated when compared to the feasibility study. By looking at these results, it is obvious KGHM International cannot afford to cash flow both Victoria and Ajax mines; therefore, management in Poland have stated it will attempt to issue a $2-billion bond to pay for these projects. A share issue to fund these projects seems to have been shelved due to poor market conditions. The above highlights the many questionable choices made by the parent company over the past two years as it purchased foreign assets at inflated prices, all while taking a company that made over $3.5-billion in profits in 2011 with over $4 billion in the bank to one that made less than $1 billion in 2013 — and soon to be riddled in debt.

B.C. needs to help save planet, not add to the problem Editor: How appropriate I read columnist’s latest drivel on the anniversary of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. I am not sure how Fletcher can look at himself in the mirror, unless he is a paid Big Oil mouthpiece. As a journalist, he surely must have heard of the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Devastation of the environment must be what Fletcher likes. There was another huge spill last month in Texas. So much for the scenic shores of Galveston — fishermen told to stop fishing and a massive hit to migratory birds.

This is why people detest the pipeline proposed for Northern B.C. A Google search produces many, many spills from Enbridge pipelines. As for fracking, I recall our own Rich Coleman stated in the legislature there would be inquiries and consultation before water licences were given out. Unfortunately, this was never done as Coleman had stated and trillions of litres of water was given away to multinational oil companies to facilitate the expansion of this industry in our once-pristine north. Let’s see, I have a meter and am charged for every litre of water that will be recycled

after I use it, yet these corporations get all this water for free, most of which will be polluted beyond recovery. Maybe Fletcher thinks those reports of post-fracking earthquakes are also fairy tales. I suppose when Fletcher was cutting his journalistic teeth, he saw how one could gain favour by slamming the NDP of the 1970s. The party was vilified for bringing in the Clean Waters Act. Having lived before this environment-saving act was passed, I can tell you there is nothing like seeing a creek running orange and all the vegetation in the riparian zone dead like some post-apocalyp-

tic movie. How about a river that is black and smells like a chemical cocktail with no fish below the level of dilution. I cannot buy Fletcher’s nefarious oil-corporation musings. B.C. needs to set examples of how to save the planet — not join in the desecration. Oh, yes, and Neil Young has developed his own electric vehicle. Then again, Fletcher’s selective memory forgets Young standing up to U.S. president Richard Nixon when the National Guard was shooting university students. Kevin Bonell Kamloops

They began with logging and, in recent years have been applied to mining agreements. Grassy Point is the site of two proposed LNG developments north of Prince Rupert. One is Aurora LNG, a joint venture involving Nexen Energy, a division of the China National Overseas Oil Company (CNOOC). The other is proposed by Woodside, an Australian oil and gas company.

The Board of Directors of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District gives notice that it will hold a Public Hearing in the TNRD Boardroom, 4th Floor-465 Victoria St., Kamloops, BC, to consider proposed Bylaws 2455, 2458 and 2459.

It amends the Zoning Bylaw No. 2400, C-4: Recreational Commercial Zone by adding a site specific provision for the Knutsford land at 2789 Princeton-Kamloops Hwy (legally described: Lot 2, Section 17, Township 19, Range 17, W6M, KDYD, Plan KAP66192, except Plan KAP66122) and shown shaded on the map below, to allow storage of up to 80 recreational vehicles; AND, prohibit any of the other principal C-4 Zone use.

Bylaw 2458 amends the South Thompson Valley & Pinantan Official Community Plan by re-designating the parcel from Agriculture and Forestry/Grazing to Service Commercial; and, Bylaw 2459 rezones the parcel from C-4: Recreational Commercial and AF-1: Agriculture and Forestry to the C-2: Service Commercial Zone. The changes will enable the two portions of the parcel to be subdivided and the continued use of a small hobby farm with a meat cutting operation and farm gate sales, and future service commercial uses. All persons who believe that their interest in property may be affected by the proposed Bylaws shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard at the Public Hearing. Additionally, they may make written submissions in respect of these Bylaws (via the adjacent options) which must be received at our office prior to 4:30 p.m. on the 16th day of April, 2014. The entire content of all submissions will be made public and form a part of the public record for this matter. How do I get more information?

Chase pellet plant dead after company pulls out By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A company that promised to bring 25 jobs to Chase with the operation of a pellet plant has given up on the location, saying a negative reception has caused it to look at property elsewhere. Pinnacle Energy chose not to exercise an option to purchase land on

Aylmer Road for a pellet plant, despite receiving necessary rezoning from Chase council last year. “There’s more to it than that [rezoning],” said Leroy Reitsma, president of Pinnacle Renewable Energy, based in Prince George. “We’re looking for alternative options for locations that might be viewed more favourably.”

Chase Mayor Ron Anderson acknowledged the proposed operation faced fierce resistance from what he called a small number of vocal opponents. It is the second time in recent years a small number of residents have fought against proposals in the village. Treetop Flyers, a zipline beside the Trans-

Canada Highway, also faced a vocal opposition. The company ultimately prevailed, however, and remains in operation. The pellet plant would have created 25 local jobs, with another 15 outside, independent positions. “That’s very disappointing,” Anderson said. “Quite frankly, the resistance was small in number, but loud.”

Opponents feared the plant would harm air quality in the valley. One of them, Jocelyn Nash, said the company picked a location near a fish-bearing stream and residential area. “We don’t oppose industry,” she said. “We do oppose that particular location for that particular industry. “If there’s industry

that’s clean, we welcome you.” Reitsma stressed, however, the company has not given up on the region. “We don’t want to create the perception we’re negative about Chase at large,” he said. “It’s the particular property that’s a contentious one . . . “It’s not we’re being chased away, but we’re

entertaining all the options.” The company plans to use fibre supply in the region, including from Adams Lake Lumber. Anderson said he hasn’t given up, noting the company could locate in a rural area near by the village. The land also remains zoned industrial and could be developed by another firm.

BOOKING TIME FOR TREASURES BY DALE BASS

Students at Arthur Stevenson elementary can now take The Boy Who Loved Math out of their library. They can opt instead for Scaredy Squirrel and teachers have a class set of Toughing Spirit Bear they can bring into their curriculum. In fact, there are 140 more books in the library of the Westsyde school thanks to a program run by Chapters bookstore. Rachel Corp, who works at the Kamloops Chapters store, said the program sees the store adopt a school in the fall and open its doors for volunteers to come in and promote their book-buying campaign. Some days, there were bake sales at the store, while on others, students volunteered to help customers find what they were looking for and, perhaps, be asked why they were there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gave them another chance to promote the campaign,â&#x20AC;? Corp said. There was a table with a wish list of books the school wanted and many patrons bought those books to donate, said Tracy Johnson, a certified education assistant at the

school and a part-time employee at Chapters. It was a conversation between the two that brought Arthur Stevenson into the program. And, Johnson said, it was just one more thing added to the start of the school year, always a busy time for everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be chaos to do a fundraiser in September,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting the students and their parents â&#x20AC;&#x153;were real troopers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids are the ones that make it happen,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids volunteer to do things and then they go home and tell their parents, who have to drive them there and then, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re involved too.â&#x20AC;? Corp was back in the library with Johnson and school principal Carol Robb recently for a thank-you presentation. The school chose to give the bookstore a mantel clock to represent the timeless treasures books can be.

The campaign wrapped up with a fun fair at the store, complete with game stations the students could work through, exposing them to all genres of books. At the end, there were prizes waiting for them. Along with the Chapters account was participation by General Grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bottle depot, where a special account was set up for refund donations to go toward buying books. Robb said literacy is a fundamental skill everyone needs. Without it, she said, they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t succeed in science or in social studies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t solve problems,â&#x20AC;? she said. The Kamloops-Thompson school district has a website dedicated to literacy (sd73literacy.weebly.com) and a variety of programs it provides to promote developing the skills to understand and communicate. These include the annual Young Authorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Conference (which will take place on May 2 at Thompson Rivers University), the Heritage Fair, the Strong Start and Mother Goose programs and the Battle of the Books (which will see its district competition held on April 16 at the Henry Grube Education Centre).

New uses ahead for B.C. driver’s licences By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

tfletcher@blackpress.ca

With one million of its new high-tech driver’s licences in use, the B.C. government is preparing to use them for access to medical records, applying for student loans and a range of other uses. The new driver’s licence was introduced a year ago, with a digital chip that replaces the existing medical CareCard system. The health ministry estimated that there were more than nine million CareCards in circulation, about twice as many as there are residents of B.C. Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services, released results of a public consultation on the new cards this week. With digital security similar to bank cards, he said the public appears prepared to use them to apply for prescription renewals, birth, death and marriage certificates, voter registration and criminal records checks. Secure online access to such government services would require passwords to be issued, “robust” computer programs to be completed and at least half of B.C. residents to have the new cards, Wilkinson said. They are being issued as current drivers’ licences expire, and the new services could be available by the end of 2015. Proof of identity for medical care may also be used for online booking of medical appointments. “First of all, we need to make sure that only people who are entitled to health care services in British Columbia are

getting them, and secondly, we have to make sure that we have the right person, the right

John Smith who shows up in the emergency room after an accident and can’t speak for him-

self,” Wilkinson said. “With the services card they’ll have a unique identifier that connects

them with the proper medical records and establishes that they’re entitled to care.”

The cards are issued to replace the current driver’s licences, for the same $75 fee. For

Kamloops Foundation gets new name, logo By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Foundation has always been more than what its name implied — and that’s the reason why it has been renamed the B.C. Interior Community Foundation. Along with the new name comes a redesigned logo that combines the idea of growth with colours that represent the B.C. Interior, said foundation execu-

Craig Cook, Jim Keith, Karen Watt, Mike Koehn, Mona Murray, Bryce Herman, Brian Ledoux, Brant Hasanan, Jim Reynolds and John Dormer. Plans are to add to the list from communities outside Kamloops, Reid said. Reid said the changes were made to support the foundation’s Smart and Caring Communities initiative, designed to boost donations to the $5.5-million general-use fund the

tive director Nancy Plett at the fundraiser on Saturday, March 29 that unveiled the change. The foundation’s base encompasses the Thompson, Nicola and South Cariboo areas, said board president Greg Reid. The name change is hoped to make communities there feel more included in the work of the 30-year-old agency. A leadership team was also announced, a group that includes

foundation has to support about 270 projects in the region. He said it’s hoped the leadership team will be able to boost awareness and involvement with potential donors. Among the 17 grant recipients last year were organizations that included Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association, North Thompson Fall Fair and Rodeo Association, Junior Achievement of B.C., District of

Barrier, the Nicola Valley Community Arts Council and Adaptive Sports at Sun Peaks, among others. Reid has been involved with the foundation since the 1990s, he said, and has seen its endowment base grow from just tens of thousands of dollars to the size it has now reached. The first grants, for example, were given in 1986 and amounted to $100 each to four organizations in the city.

Steelworkers president to talk Ajax on Sunday Richard Boyce, president of the United Steelworkers local 7619 at Highland Valley Copper, will speak on Sunday, April 13, at 2 p.m. in the Parkside Lounge at the Interior Savings Centre.

experience working in the mining industry and more than 36 years as an activist in the Steelworkers Union. “I’m a miner,” Boyce said. “There are pros and cons to having nearby mining activity. I want to talk

THURSDAY SPECIAL ONLY Police tape sections off the part of a ranch on Mission Flas Road on which human remains were found this week. Dave Eagles/KTW

Mission Flats also yielded body in 2004 X From A1

Wilson, 41, disappeared from downtown Kamloops on April 6, 2012. Paul was last seen on Sept. 9, 2013. While Paul’s disappearance led to information that had investigators making inquiries in the Lower Mainland and Calgary, she remains missing. Police have said they believe Wilson had been murdered since she was last seen on surveillance video walking through the parking lot of the downtown 7-Eleven store after midnight on April 6, 2012. Wilson was fighting addiction issues and was working as a prostitute when she vanished. Bob Hughes of the ASK Wellness Centre said the Mission Flats area is frequented by johns and prostitutes, but noted the property where the remains were found is farther down the road than most people would travel. “Usually it’s just right out

past the pulp mill into the pullout right there,” he said. “That’s a common spot for both male and female sex exchange, but not that far out.” Hughes said the roughness of the road past the pulp mill would likely deter anyone buying or selling sex from going much further. Hughes said while the remains could be one of the two missing women, he’s also aware they could be decades old. But, for the families of Wilson and Paul, he thinks a positive identification of the remains could be better than no answer at all. “No news is the worst news,” Hughes said. “There’s never any closure. You’re never able to properly grieve to say, ‘We know this is what happened.’ Even if it’s horrendous, at least you can say you have some answers.” A large swath of the Mission Flats property remains cordoned

off as the investigation continues. “Until we know exactly what we’re looking at, we don’t want to make it too small of an area and miss something,” Bush said, adding she is not aware of any previous police investigations on the property. The ranch owner is co-operating with the investigation. The location of the human remains is in the same general area where the body of a Kamloops woman was found on March 23, 2004. Shana Lee Labatte, a 30-yearold prostitute fighting addiction issues, was murdered and her body left on Mission Flats. Her murder remains unsolved, as does the slaying of fellow prostitute Sherri Lee Hiltz. The body of the 44-yearold woman was found on April 9, 2005, in a backyard in the 800-block of Surrey Avenue, near Eighth Street, in North Kamloops.

More feature films to be shot in Kamloops region X From A1

IMDb lists a cast including Lethal Weapon star Danny Glover, along with Amy Ryan, Jill Lewis, Lucas Till, Frank Whaley, Hold McCallany and Adrian Formosa. It also lists Chris Wedge as the director, who was involved in Ice Age and Robots. The script was was written by Glenn Berger and Jonathan Aibel, both of whom created the Kung Fu Panda movies. Monster Trucks is tentatively set for a May 29, 2015, release.

Last year, Weller said, the film industry brought in less than a half-million dollars to the Thompson-Nicola region. She attributes the low to the way media consumption has changed over the years, with advertisers shifting toward television and online.

“It’s changing the whole business,” she said. “People don’t go to the theatres as much.” Television series are casting major players and carrying bigger budgets, she said, noting story lines are out of the film commision’s control. “If it’s not in the

script . . . it’s not going to come here.” She has no firm projections for the year, but said another large United States feature film is already prepping to be filmed in the region, along with two smaller productions. She can’t talk about them right now, but she feels positive looking ahead. “It’s definitely going to be better,” she said. The crew is expected to continue filming in Kamloops until the end of the week and return at an unknown date.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Save your home! Don’t sell your home unless you want to! Bills, household expenses and poorly structured mortgages can wreck havoc on the family finances. If this sounds like you, there are options to explore, and you often don’t have to sell your home unless you want to! Bills and high housing costs can sometimes be addressed by looking at three things: 1. Amortization For years, many lenders have been advising clients to choose 20 or 25 year amortizations so the client doesn’t have to pay as much interest over the life of the mortgage. Good idea right? Well, the problem is that sometimes the payments are so high that the client ends up putting emergency expenditures, vacations and other expenses on high interest credit cards. The result is that people end up paying off 3%, 4% and 5% mortgage debt and building up 9%, 19% and 29% credit card debt. The high credit card interest can become unbearable and force the sale of your home. 35 year amortizations are still available! Conditions apply 2. Refinancing In some cases, we can use the equity from your house to payoff credit card bills, car loans, etc. This means we pay off high interest debt with low interest debt. We can’t always change how much money you owe, but we can change how much interest you get charged on it. 3. Cashback Would a cashback mortgage work for you? In this type of mortgage, you receive a lumpsum of 2% or 5% at closing which you can use to reduce bills etc. The extra money can reduce overall household monthly payments or can be used to payoff closing costs or mortgage penalty. The mortgage payments are higher for this type of mortgage. If you are struggling with month to month bills or know someone who is, call me BEFORE you miss a payment. Once you have missed payments reported on your credit bureau, lenders are less likely to approve your mortgage change.* Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today. For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca Today’s Mortgage Matters is brought to you by Steve Bucher.

Untreated hearing loss tied to lower earning potential Maximizing oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to hear well should be part of any smart career strategy. Individual performance in an organization is found to be directly related to listening ability or perceived listening effectiveness. In fact, listening is one of the top skills employers seek in entry-level employees and in those being promoted. People who both hear and listen well are also more likely to establish positive working relationships with bosses, clients, and colleagues. An alarming new study by the Better Hearing Institute (BHI) reveals a direct correlation between unaddressed hearing loss and earnings.

Miller ordered to stay away from university By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A former Thompson Rivers University student politician and one-time school-trustee hopeful has been convicted of trespassing and ordered to stay away from schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus for a year. Adrian Miller was found guilty and sentenced during a brief hearing on Tuesday, April 1, in Kamloops provincial court. The 28-year-old stood trial on a trespassing charge last year, stemming from an allegation in October 2012 that he was on TRUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus after university administration had banned him. Miller argued he did not know he was banned, but Judge Stella Frame said she believed TRU officials who said Miller had read numerous letters and emails about the ban. Miller remains banned from TRUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus by the university as an order separate from Frameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision After hearing the decision, Miller told court he still hopes to finish his psychology degree at TRU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want you there, Mr. Miller,â&#x20AC;? Frame said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You cannot go back until I say you can, regardless of any probation order I put in place.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The university does not want you there.â&#x20AC;? TRU administrators banned Miller from campus in early 2012 while he was incarcerated on an unrelated criminal matter. Miller also has an outstanding lawsuit against TRU alleging he was treated unfairly while a student.

The background on Adrian Miller:

In early January 2012, it was announced Miller had been elected to TRUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of governors and senate. That news came after Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disastrous attempt to be elected to the KamloopsThompson school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of education in November 2011. Miller made headlines in the lead-up to the Nov. 19 civic election, first when he was arrested on an outstanding breach of probation warrant and spent a night in jail. After being released from custody, he told reporters he was a member of the University of Northern B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team in 2007, when he was arrested and charged with mischief in Prince George. He was later convicted, placed on probation and ordered to pay $1,300 in restitution. Miller claimed the

Did you see burglars at work on the weekend?

Kamloops Mounties were kept busy on the weekend as a couple of commercial burglaries were reported. Police were first called to the 400-block of Victoria Street West just after 11 p.m. on Saturday, April 5, where the front door of a business was smashed to gain entry. Police were then called to the 700-block of Victoria Street just after midnight. Witnesses told police a suspect was seen inside the business after the front door was pried open. The suspect ran out the rear of the business prior to the arrival of Mounties and is believed to have escaped in a vehicle. Anyone with information about these breakinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is asked to contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

mischief was the result of a team prank, committed alongside other UNBC basketball players. However, KTW spoke to athletic officials at the school â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who said Miller never played basketball at UNBC â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and obtained court documents showing the mischief charge was actually the result of an incident in which he trashed his apartment

while in the process of being evicted. The court documents make no mention of any â&#x20AC;&#x153;teammatesâ&#x20AC;? or co-accused, other than claims by Miller that his girlfriend broke the window. The documents also state Miller acted in a threatening manner toward a property-management employee at the apartment building by driving his car in

the employeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction. After being elected to TRUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senate, Miller was jailed first on breach charges and then on accusations of fraud and theft. He eventually pleaded guilty and was placed on house arrest. Miller has stated during previous court appearances he plans to move to Ontario or England.

PQ rebuilds after defeat By Nelson Wyatt

CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Now that Pauline Marois has tendered her resignation as Parti Quebecois (PQ) leader, the question within the battered sovereigntist party is who will be the right person to rebuild it. It won’t be easy. The PQ suffered one of its worst defeats since the 1970s on Monday, April 7, when Liberal Leader Philippe Couillard won a majority government. Two-thirds of Quebecers also flatly say they’re not interested in another sovereignty referendum, one of the party’s main goals. No one has come forward yet to claim the job Marois won by acclamation in 2007. However, PQ members seemed to get a preview of a few possible choices on election night when some who have been touted as contenders addressed them before their defeated leader spoke. In a twist that seemed to come out of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Pierre Karl Peladeau, Jean-Francois Lisee, Bernard Drainville and Nicole Leger came to praise Marois before she buried her own political career a few moments later. Lisee and Leger extolled Marois’ qualities and the party’s determi-

embracing of an independent Quebec at his campaign launch on March 9 started the PQ election effort’s careening skid into the ditch. Besides the 52-yearold political rookie Peladeau are two party stalwarts who handled some of the tougher files during Marois’s minority government. Drainville, a former TV reporter for the CBC’s French-language network, was the point man for the controversial secularism charter and promoted it with almost missionary zeal. One of the more popular cabinet ministers within the PQ, the fluently bilingual Drainville studied at the London School of Economics. The 50-year-old was also Radio-Canada’s correspondent in Latin America before being assigned to Ottawa and Quebec City as a political reporter. First elected in 2007, he served as the PQ health critic before being re-elected in 2008 and 2012, when he was named minister of democratic institutions. Lisee, a former journalist, author and professor, was Marois’s minister of international relations, as well as being responsible for Montreal. The 56-year-old also often handled the hotbutton issue of language. A well-known sovereigntist thinker, Lisee advised PQ premiers

nation to fight on, while Drainville and Peladeau made a pitch to sovereigntist hearts. Peladeau insisted the PQ caucus would continue to “defend the interests of Quebecers and the country,’’ while Drainville was even more forceful, giving a stemwinder speech on the virtues of the goal to make Quebecers masters of their own destiny. “We will never abandon it — never,’’ he said before leading the crowd in a chant of, “We want a country!’’ Lisee, Drainville and Peladeau have often been mentioned as eventual successors to Marois, although it has also been suggested Peladeau, who heads publisher Quebecor, might not have the patience to toil in opposition and rebuild a shattered party after so many years as a corporate titan. He has mused he would be an ideal negotiator for Quebec with Canada after a sovereigntist referendum win, although his polarizing reputation with many — including the PQ’s socialdemocratic wing — is of someone who relies more on lockouts to resolve contract disputes. That seems to cancel out the benefit of his hefty business credentials with the PQ’s left wing, although others profess a bigger knock against him. They say his fistpumping, enthusiastic

Jacques Parizeau and Lucien Bouchard, serving as one of the architects of Parizeau’s strategy in the 1995 referendum that was nearly won by sovereigntists. The bilingual and urbane Lisee quit working for Bouchard in 1999 after disagreeing with his government on sovereignty strategy. A dark horse candidate is former Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe, who quit as chief of that party when it was decimated by the New Democratic Party in the 2011 federal election. Many sovereigntists find Duceppe appealing because of his wide popularity but others chafe at the possibility he would try to bring the iron discipline he imposed on the Bloc to the more freewheeling PQ. Others who might take a run at the leadership are former cabinet ministers Leger, Sylvain Gaudreault and Veronique Hivon, although their profile isn’t considered as high as those of Lisee, Drainville and Peladeau.

Olympic terrorist threat quelled by many

Security worries shut down online tax filing with Ottawa

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Canada Revenue Agency has temporarily cut off public access to its electronic services over security concerns, preventing Canadians from being able to file their taxes online. “We have received information concerning an Internet security vulnerability named the Heartbleed Bug,’’ the agency said in a statement posted on its website on Wednesday, April 9. “As a preventative measure, the CRA has temporarily shut down public access to our online services to safeguard the integrity of the information we hold.’’ The affected services include EFILE, NETFILE, My Account, My Business Account and Represent a Client. The agency said it is working to restore safe and secure access as soon as possible. It is a busy time of year for the tax agency, as people file returns electronically and track the progress of refunds online. As of the end of March, the agency had received 6.7 million returns, with 84 per cent filed electronically. CRA said consideration will be given to taxpayers who are unable to comply with their filing requirements because of the service interruption.

MOSCOW — Russia’s security service chief said intelligence agencies in Russia and other countries helped prevent terrorist attacks at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov said in comments carried by

Russian news agencies that intelligence agencies from the United States, Austria, France, Germany and Georgia helped Russia target individuals who were plotting terrorist attacks during the February Games. The revelation is particularly striking because Russia has not had diplomatic ties with Georgia

since a brief war in 2008. The Black Sea resort of Sochi hosted the Winter Games, which ran without any security incidents despite fears of an Islamist insurgency in the Caucasus. Bortnikov provided few details, but said co-operation with the foreign intelligence agencies “localized that threat.’’

CBC staff prepare for major job cuts today CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada’s public broadcaster will be doing much navel gazing this week in Ottawa. The Association of Canadian Advertisers was to talk about the challenges faced by the CBC in an ever-evolving broadcasting world when the group appeared before the Senate communications commit-

tee on Wednesday, April 9. The meeting came a day in advance of what is expected to be a tough update today (April 10) on the CBC’s current finances by the broadcaster’s president, Hubert Lacroix. He warned in a recent message to employees that “dark clouds’’ are looming on the horizon and is expected to announce a major round of job cuts and service reductions.

SURREY SIX MURDER TRIAL

Accused: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;They saw our faces â&#x20AC;&#x201D;we had no choiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By James Keller

CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former gang leader Michael Le said he had just finished signing a lease for a Maserati sports car on a Friday afternoon in October 2007 when he received a panicked phone call from a member of his group, the Red Scorpions. Le, who is a cooperating witness at a murder trial linked to the mass killing of six people in Surrey, testified on Tuesday, April 8, that he knew his gang planned to execute a rival drug trafficker in a dispute involving egos and money. But, it quickly became clear things did not go to plan, according to Leâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account. On the phone was Matthew Johnston, who was among the gang members assigned to carry out the hit, Le testified. He sounded â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty urgentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and asked to meet at a shopping plaza in nearby Burnaby, Le said. Le, 29, testified that when he arrived, Johnston broke the first bit of bad news, telling him: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mike, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry, but we killed Eddie,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; referring to Eddie Narong, a friend Le had known since middle school. By then, Narong lay dead in a highrise apartment in Surrey, along with Corey Lal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who Le said was the intended target of the hit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and two other men also linked to gangs and drugs. Also dead were fireplace repairman Ed Schellenberg and building resident Chris Mohan, who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told him [Johnston], â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You are (an) idiot. Why did you kill so many people?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Le testified in a secure courtroom in downtown Vancouver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His exact words were, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mike, they saw our faces â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we had no choice.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Johnston is on trial alongside Cody Haevischer, each facing six counts of firstdegree murder and one count of conspiracy. The Crown alleges Johnston,

Haevischer and a third man, known only as Person X, who has already pleaded guilty, carried out the hit. Le had been sitting next to Johnston and Haevischer in the prisonerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dock until last November, when he pleaded guilty to conspiracy. He was sentenced to three years and one month after time served as part of a deal with the Crown that included his testimony. Le told the court Lal found himself in a dispute with the other leader of the Red Scorpions, Jamie Bacon, whose own gang had merged with Leâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earlier that year. Bacon is also charged in the murders and is awaiting a separate trial. Le testified Bacon was upset after hearing Lal had been badmouthing him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and he demanded Lal pay a $100,000 â&#x20AC;&#x153;tax.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; When Lal failed to pay, Bacon insisted he be killed, Le told the court. Le was initially reluctant, in part because Lal was in business with his friend, Narong, Le eventually relented. After the alleged meeting with Johnston on Oct. 19, 2007, Le testified he told Johnston to â&#x20AC;&#x153;lay low.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Le said he met with Haevischer a few days later, communicating using an erasable white board â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a precaution to ensure their conversations couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be recorded. Le said Haevischerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriend and another associate were in the room, though he said they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involved in the conversation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wrote down, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Six people got killed,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Le testified. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wrote down â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;[Person X] shot three.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He wrote down, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I shot three.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; In July or August of 2007, Le said he met with Lal in an attempt to smooth over the dispute and urged him to stop antagonizing Bacon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told him basically donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t [badmouth] Jamie and his guys no more and I would talk to Jamie to try to resolve the problem,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Le said.

Le said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know Bacon later met Lal on his own and demanded the $100,000. Leâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s testimony is offering an unprecedented look inside one of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most violent street gangs and its alleged involvement in a crime that turned the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gang war into a national concern.

It also revealed Le, in addition to founding the Red Scorpions, was a member of a triads gang, which he said supplied him with drugs. Le, a Canadian citizen who was born in Vietnam, told the court he began trafficking drugs when he was 18 and was soon operating dial-adope operations.

During a stint in jail, he met Konaam Shirzad, with whom he formed a close friendship, Le testified. They decided to start a gang, which they named the Red Scorpions, Le said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;redâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; for blood, or family, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;scorpionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; to symbolize brotherhood. The gang had no official ranks, Le said.

Instead, members were seen as brothers. New recruits were little brothers and those vouching for them were big brothers. Le said Johnston, who he had also met in jail, was an early member of the Red Scorpions. Johnston vouched for Haevischer, who eventually became a member. He said he was arrest-

ed on drug charges in 2006 and pleaded guilty. While in jail, he met Bacon, who was his roommate for a month. In 2007, the groups merged, keeping the name Red Scorpions. Bacon is charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy, and is expected to stand trial separately.

CAN YOU SPOT THIS LAKE? By Teresa Cline

SPECIAL TO KTW

wheretogoandhowtogetthere.com

F YOU BELIEVE THE CURE FOR ALL AILMENTS can be found in a single body of water, you may want to visit Spotted Lake — a saline endorheic alkali lake located northwest of Osoyoos. Featured on MSN Travel’s Most Mysterious Places on Earth, Spotted Lake is believed to be the most mineralized lake in the world, with each of the circles holding a different healing cure. Drawing visitors from all over the world, this natural wonder is highly concentrated, with numerous minerals containing high levels of magnesium sulfate, calcium and sodium sulphates, as well as some small doses of silver and titanium. The lake’s minerals were used to manufacture ammunition during the First World War. Most of the water in the lake evaporates over the summer, leaving behind only the minerals, which harden to

Fresh • Local • Sustainable •

form natural “walkways” around and between the spots that appear in different colours, depending on their mineral composition. Spotted Lake It is also a sacred medicine lake for the Okanagan (Syilx) peoples, thought it was owned by the Ernest Smith family for about 40 years. The First Nations were very protective of the lake and, in 1979, when Smith planned to build a spa at the lake, they attempted to buy it and retain it as a sacred site. After over 20 years of trying, but failing, to convince Smith to sell, a deal was made in October 2001, when 22 hectares of land was purchased for a $720,000. The First Nations paid $150,000, while the Department of Indian Affairs paid the remainder. In 1979, the Okanagan elders and chiefs came together and wrote the Statement of the Okanagan Tribal Chiefs on Spotted Lake, which reflected the thoughts, feelings and voice of the Okanagan First Nation. Here is an excerpt from that statement: “Since the dawn

of history, Spotted Lake, or Ha? Ki lil xw as we call it, has been a sacred place. Indians from all tribes came to visit the lake for the medicine it contains . . . Its medicinal powers are not to be taken lightly. This lake is a chief among lakes. Its powers are above the purely physical. It contains 365 circles in various shapes, sizes and depths. Each particular day of the year, anyone who goes to this lake will find the rights circle if he seeks.” The lake is now being protected by a two-phase plan. Phase one includes fencing the area off and putting up signage. Phase two involves constructing a safe turn-off location and parking lot, an information kiosk, a wheelchairaccessible lookout and a walking path for the general public. HOW TO GET THERE – Spotted Lake is located beside Crowsnest Highway 3 near Osoyoos. For more information, go online to the Okanagan Nations Alliance at syilx.org.

GEORGE MOORE FENNELL

HARVEY A. HERBERT

REIL

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George Moore Fennell. George was born in Kamloops, BC on September 8, 1939, the eldest son of Marston and Ellen Fennell of Chu Chua, BC. He was also the eldest grandson of George and Margaret Fennell, ranching pioneers in the North Thompson valley.

Allan Donald Reil, born April 29, 1936 in Arcola, Saskatchewan passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, April 5, 2014. Survived by his wife and soul mate, Marlene Purpur, brother Art Reil of Regina, SK, sister Vivian Fox (Wendell) of Lower Sackville, NS and children Robin (Mike), Dean (Sue), Lynda (Al), Darcy, Kelvin (Paula) and grandchildren Renata, Nicolas, Alicia, Benjamin, Branden, Brody, Matthew, Amanda, Jason, Trevor and Nick and greatgrandson Darion Luelo Granda and many nieces and nephews.

George passed away at Laurel Place in Surrey, BC on April 2, 2014 with his wife Carol by his side. He leaves to mourn in passing his wife Carol; Kathy (the mother of his sons); sons Darryl (Chantal), daughter-in-law Lisa and son Geordie; his grandchildren Joey, Jennifer and Jessica and numerous nieces and nephews. George is also survived by his sister Frances (Arthur); brother Jim (Margaret); and brother Robert (Joanne). George was predeceased by his sister Peggy and his son Tim. George grew up in Chu Chua and went to high school in Barriere, BC. He recorded one of the highest IQ test scores in the region and graduated from high school when he was 15. He enjoyed participating in athletic activities and once set a record in high jump that lasted several years. The small school was an ideal place for him to develop the many friendships that have lasted to this day. After graduation George entered the workplace as a field hand on the Genier ranch, just outside of Barriere. Soon after that, with the help of his uncle Sandy, he went to work for Dawson and Wade construction on a rock crusher across the river from Little Fort. From crushing, he followed the company to a series of road building jobs on the Big Bend highway. It was there that George began his proficiency at driving trucks of all sizes and became a part of the teamsters union. He worked at various jobs in logging and construction until he went to work on the Mica Dam project. With a small airport nearby, he was able to utilize his spare time by getting his private pilot’s license. During the winter shut-down, he sometimes worked as a bartender and bouncer in a Kamloops pub. With work at Mica winding down, George moved to the Vancouver area in 1971 and continued a solid association with the Teamsters’ organization. He was a strong trade unionist and promoted workers’ rights at every opportunity. In the late seventies and early eighties, he travelled the province as part of a group of activists advocating on behalf of fair treatment for women and all truck drivers, both within the union and throughout the industry. After various jobs in the transportation sector, George became involved in the movie industry which he enjoyed greatly. He got to work around people like Rodney Dangerfield, Cybil Shepherd and Gene Hackman, who became a personal friend. One of his fondest memories was joking around with John Byner, who is a real clown both on and off camera. George worked in that industry for many years beyond retirement age, saying “why should I sit at home when I can work with so many nice people all day long.” George loved to play sports - any sports....slo-pitch, golfing, curling, billiards, and coaching sports such as hockey. He has several trophies that attest to his prowess. George often played a leadership role in the sports leagues he was involved in. He was a loyal team player and was front and center in anything that was happening. He was often called upon to be “the organizer” for many events. In later years, George took the most enjoyment from his grandchildren;#1 Grandson Joey, Princess Jennifer and future Olympian Jessica. He took every opportunity to go places and spend time with them. His other major interests were curling and golf. George and Carol were avid golfers and enjoyed their golfing holidays in Hemet California. One of the things that he enjoyed most about visiting “back home” in Kamloops, were the great golf courses and the people that he was able to share them with.

He was predeceased by his first wife, Jean Reil, and his father and mother Peter and Elizabeth Reil. Allan joined the Canadian Navy at a young age and later became a member of the Air Force. He was posted to Esquimalt, BC, Halifax, NS, Moose Jaw, SK, Gimli, MB, Germany and Kingston, ON before retiring and moving to Kamloops in 1973. Allan was well known for his ability to “tinker” with and fix anything. He worked in the air conditioning and heating business for many years and was always willing to help others. He had a huge heart and will be remembered and missed by his many friends and family members. The family would like to thank Dr. Mavis Hollman for her many years as doctor to Allan (and the family). Service to be held on Friday, April 11, 2014 at 2pm at Kamloops United Church, 387 4th Avenue, Kamloops, BC with Rev. Bruce Comrie officiating. In lieu of flowers donations are encouraged to the Kamloops Hospice Association.

George will be sorely missed by his family and friends.

As per Allan’s wishes he will be cremated and his ashes spread over the ocean near Esquimalt, BC.

There will be a celebration of life on Saturday April 26, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM in the Cloverdale legion hall at 17567 57th Ave. Cloverdale.

Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Any friends or family wishing to make some brief remarks in tribute to George should contact the family ahead of time for scheduling purposes. Humorous anecdotes are welcome as long as they are within the bounds of good taste.

JEROME ROBERT BACKMEYER

MALCOLM JOHN CAMPBELL

1925 - 2014

April 4, 1938 – April 3, 2014

Jerome Backmeyer, resident of Grande Prairie, passed away in Grande Prairie on Saturday, April 5, 2014 at the age of 88 years.

It’s with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing and say goodbye to our loving dad, uncle, grandpa, and friend Malcolm (Mackie) John Campbell.

Jerome was born in Strasbourg, SK, on October 23, 1925. He was raised in rural Saskatchewan, the land and outdoors becoming steeped in his blood. Jerome LOVED to grow things. He derived great pleasure form sowing and reaping in his garden. He was a man of strong convictions and great pride; pride in his work, his beliefs and pride in his family. He took great delight in his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Jerome was working for the Weather Office and stationed in Snag, Yukon, the winter of 1947. One of his most often told stories was of the day the record was set for the coldest day in Canada ever, in Snag at -62.8˚ on February 3, 1947. He told of how your breath would freeze almost before it got out of your mouth, and he was there to experience that. He will be sadly missed by his loving wife of 62 years Tee Backmeyer, sisters: Leona (Art) Gladish and Rita (Art) Gowans; his children: Joe, Rod, Don and Greg, their families and his many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents and his brother Alex. Prayers will be held on Sunday, April 13, 2014 at 7:00pm at Oliver’s Funeral Chapel in Grande Prairie (10005 107 Ave.). Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Monday, April 14, 2014 at 11:00am at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Grande Prairie (10404 102 St.). Memorial donations may be made to The Call of The Poor (P.O. Box 117 St. Norbert, MB R3V 1L5). Condolences may be sent by visiting www.oliversfuneralchapel.com

Dad passed away early Thursday morning in the Royal Inland Hospital after a hard fought battle with cancer. Mackie is survived by his loving daughters Georgina (Chance) Hook; Cory (Lee) Baxter; his son Quinn (Corey) Campbell as well as his four grandchildren (Carson Baxter, Landon Baxter, Meghan Campbell, Melissa Campbell). We lost our father with a heart of gold Who meant more to us than wealth untold Without farewell he fell asleep Leaving us cherished memories for us to keep To those who have a father cherish him with care You’ll never know the heartache till you see his empty chair For those of you that had the pleasure of sharing our Dad’s life, we will be having a Celebration of Life at 1:00 pm on April 12th, 2014 at the Sports Central Lounge, 1430 Summit Drive, Kamloops, BC. Please join us in joyously remembering Mackie for his kind generous heart, his tenacity and strength and of course his strong willed decisive Campbell way. Condolences may be expressed on line at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

1924 - 2014 Herb passed away April 6, 2014 with his three children by his side. He is survived by his three children; Diane (Bill) McGaw, Don (Kathleen) Herbert and Deidre Herbert (Steve), his four grandchildren and six greatgrandchildren as well as his two sisters Alice Rummey of Victoria and Beryl Herdan of Salmon Arm. Dad was predeceased by his wife Joan of 61 years, his brother, Morris and his three sisters, Connie, Lois and Joyce. Born in Avonlea, Saskatchewan, Dad moved to Rolleau, Saskatchewan, then Terrace, BC. Dad left Terrace and joined the U.S. Merchant Marine which served along the West Coast. After a short time Dad met and married Joan in 1945 and they moved to Camp 6 on Cowichan Lake (Duncan, BC) where Diane and Don were born and Dad worked for the BC Forest Products on locomotives. Herb became a Master Mechanic in 1952 when the family began to travel, chasing various construction and pipeline projects on the Alaska Highway in Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. The family moved to Williams Lake in 1960 to settle down where Dad took over the Texaco Station at the “Y” and ran it until 1969, when, with their youngest daughter, Deidre, they went back to pipeline work in Ontario and Alberta. In 1977, Dad and his son, Don, worked on a pipeline in the Assam Province in India for six months. Herb worked at pipeline inspection until retiring in the early 1990’s. After Joan passed away in 2006, Herb lived in Chase, BC until the age of 87, when he moved into The Hamlets in Kamloops, BC where he was well cared for and enjoyed his time there. We have lots of good memories, stories and laughs that will keep him in our thoughts forever. The family would like to send special thanks to the staff on 4 North at RIH and at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home in Kamloops.

Pennies From Heaven I found a penny today Just lying on the ground But it’s not just a penny this little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down Oh, how I loved that story . He said when an angel misses you They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny when you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angels tossed to you.

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night DYLAN THOMAS

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightening they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in ight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your erce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

FAITH

Being a God’s donkey: a Palm Sunday meditation

N THE WEEK leading to his self-sacrifice in Jerusalem, two symbols related to it stand out — the waving of the palm branches and the cross. The first represented the acclaim of the shouting crowds, greeting a Messiah coming to his own people. The cross, of course, represented the tragic end to his life. Why did Christianity not take the palm branches as its symbol — a joyful token with its recollections of hosannas to the conquering Christ? Students of Christian history know well the Christian church would not have survived the centuries with only a palm branch on its altar. The cross goes deeper than that. It goes deeper than anything else into the heart of man’s experience, need and deliverance.

NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH It stands for a rescue story between sin and saviourhood. Let us remind ourselves this Palm Sunday (April 13) as we see the master entering Jerusalem amid the crowd’s hosannas that saviourhood is still present in the world. Lowly and riding on a donkey’s foal, Jesus came to the great city and there he faced sin, as all saviours do. He faced the sin of the priests, who did not wish their orthodox establishments disturbed. Or, of businessmen,

wanting no money changers’ tables overturned to their profit’s hurt. Or, of politicians like Caiaphas, playing their clever selfish games. Or, of cowards like Pilate, washing their hands off their responsibilities. Or, of Roman soldiers doing whatever cruelty they were commanded of the crowd, persuaded by skilful propaganda to cry out, “Crucify him!” As always, saviourhood has faced sin. But, today, over 2,000 years later, it’s not the

sin we are celebrating, but saviourhood. The Holy Week celebrates the exciting truth at the heart of the Christian gospel — that there is saviourhood is in this world and in it is a quality that lays hold on us as nothing else ever does. In a way, there’s a “have to” sense that took saviour Jesus trudging the rough and cobbled streets of Jerusalem to Calvary. Christ was full of it and every decent and lovely thing we have hoped for has

come from it. Men and women who need not have done what they did, but who were compelled by a “have to” inside them. Florence Nightingale need not have gone to nurse the wounded in the Crimean War. No outward pressure urged her on. All the circumstances were against her going — the military authorities, either dubious or antagonistic. Even her own family called her crazy for even thinking of it. But, there was that

“have to” inside of her. We had better be grateful when we think of it, for all the background of our lives is full of it and every decent and lovely thing we have or hoped for has come from it. It was in the people who need not have done what they did, but who were compelled by a “have to” inside of them. Christ had it ingrained in him. That is what took him to the cross. “I lay down my life . . . no man takes if from me, but I lay it down of myself,” he said. “Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” What a “have to” inside of him! Human life is a struggle between sin — whatever debases and debauches life — and the great successions of the saviours with the

“have to” inside them. On which side of this great divide are we? Let no one spend this Holy Week without facing that question. In one of Rembrandt’s paintings of the crucifixion, one’s eyes naturally rest at first upon the central figures in the scene. But, by and by in the shadows, one sees another figure — Rembrandt himself — helping to crucify Christ. This struggle between sin and saviourhood is going on inside every one of us, and we cannot thrust off this dual struggle as though it’s only a public battle. It is also private, the central issue of each person’s life. As someone has put it, “No possible rearrangement of bad eggs can ever make a good omelette.” narayanmitra@ hotmail.com

Friday-night heroes return By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

HEY ARE plumbers, electricians, truck drivers and welders — and they love lacrosse. The Kamloops Rattlers are back for another Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League (TOSLL) campaign, which gets underway on Friday, April 11, when the Kelowna Raiders pay a visit to Memorial Arena. Game time is 8 p.m. “The juniors [the junior B Kamloops

Venom] are definitely a faster speed, but we’re definitely harder-hitting and you’ve got the big guys out there laying the sticks,” said Mark Jurista, captain of the senior C Rattlers. “Big crowds make a big difference for the guys out there on the floor. It increases the intensity.” Win or lose, the players will return home proud of their bumps and bruises, lumps marvelled at by their children, the kinder wives tending to the wounds, the less sympathetic asking them to suck it up.

Those without families, and those with kinder wives, will often do their boasting over post-game beers, Friday-night heroes rehashing the game that was. The league will again consist of just three teams — the Rattlers, the defendingchampion Raiders and the always-game Armstrong Shamrocks. “The league is pretty vulnerable,” Jurista said. “If you have one more team faltering — if they have a bad year for numbers or even people helping out organizing — the

league is gone.” The Vernon Tigers for a second-straight season were unable to find enough players to form a team. Rivalries were already fierce when there was a fourth team in the league, so there is no love lost with the trifecta of familiarized 2014 TOSLL combatants. Kamloops, which won the 2013 regularseason title before being swept in the championship final by Kelowna, is expected to contend for the league banner this season. “It looks like a full

roster this year, which is nice to see compared to other years, where numbers have hindered us, especially if we get injuries,” Jurista said. Among the Rattlers’ roster members are two sets of brothers, three of each kin — Dylan, J.J. and Nathan Woldum and Curtis, Gavin and Russ McIntosh. They represent the younger demographic on the team, the 20-somethings, with the eldest Rattler chiming in at 43. “They’re all pretty good, too,” Jurista said of the brothers. X See RATTLERS A31

Jim Cotter and John Morris had to field the question more than once during their run at the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier in Kamloops — what are the plans for their rink next season? The curling world got its answer on Wednesday, April 2, as John Morris used the team’s Facebook page to announce his decision to take a year away from the game. “After a lot of thought and deliberation, I have decided to take a step back from the game of curling next year,” Morris wrote. “I had the tremendous pleasure of playing with three great, genuine teammates in Jim Cotter, Tyrel Griffith and Rick Sawatsky as we made it farther than I think anyone would have predicted for a team playing in its first year together.” The skip that led Team B.C. to the final of the 2014 Brier — as well as an appearance in the championship game at the 2014 Olympic Curling Trials in Winnipeg — cited an educational course and securing a career as a firefighter as the reasons for his hiatus from the game. What Morris’ departure means for Cotter and the rest of his rink remains to be seen. Cotter, a Kamloops native, has skipped his

own rink in the past, twice leading teams to Brier appearances, but said he enjoyed being able to focus strictly on throwing the last rock this season rather than calling the game. Cotter told KTW he would be taking a step back from the game and playing a lighter schedule in the coming season, but noted he wasn’t retiring. “My plan is similar to John’s, but I’ll end up playing a bit more,” said Cotter, who didn’t rule out curling again with Morris at some point down the road.. The 39-year-old is looking forward to spending more time with family and helping out with his daughter’s juvenile team. “Its something that I’ve been thinking about for a couple years, not just recent days.” Cotter said he, lead Sawatsky and second Griffith will stick together, though they haven’t yet broached the subject of who might fill the void left by Morris. The team will still go through the Brier playdown process and attempt to contend for another Canadian men’s curling title. “I think our whole team is in a similar boat,” he said. “It’s a huge sacrifice. It’s been a huge sacrifice the last several years. So, there’s a few things we each need to take care of in our lives.”

3D archery shoot coming to Kamloops By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Movies that feature archery, such as the Hunger Games, are believed to have spiked the sport’s popularity of late. Anyone craving an up-close look is invited to watch sharpshooters from across the province compete in the Kamloops 3D Archery Shoot, which will run on Saturday, April 12, and Sunday, April 13, at the Kamloops Target Sports Association’s (KTSA) outdoor range, located at the westernmost point of Hillside Drive, near the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre.

“The sport has hunting origins, but you don’t have to be a hunter,” said Katie Britton, an archery director with the KTSA. “We shoot at threedimensional animals that are made from a self-healing foam. They’re life-size and they’re placed on a course you walk around. “You might have a typical hunting shot or you might shoot from a tree-stand or from behind a bush.” The action gets underway at 8 a.m. on Saturday and wraps up at about 5 p.m. On Sunday, archers hit the course at about 8:30 a.m. and the shooting

finishes at about 3 p.m. Archers take aim at 40 targets spread across two courses and participants are scored on accuracy. This weekend’s event is a competition for those with experience, but the KTSA does host introductory sessions for beginners interested in pursuing the sport. For more information, go online to ktsa. ca or email ktsaarchery@gmail.com. Britton would love to see a record turnout this weekend. “Last year, we had about 120 archers and we’re hoping to get that number and more this year,” she said.

Rattlers out for revenge X From A29

The senior C provincial championship tournament will be held on the Coast in late August. If the Rattlers are going to be there, they will have to get past the Raiders, who seem to be returning a strong roster, and the Shamrocks, who are always in with a shot, thanks in part to strong goaltending. Armstrong might also be bolstered by a few displaced Vernon Tigers looking

for a home. There is no money in senior C lacrosse. Each year, the team scrambles to find sponsorship to cover the cost of renting arena space and travel expenses. “We don’t make money. Breaking even would be nice. But, we’re not worried about that,” Jurista said. What might be worrisome is heading to work on Monday morning with a black eye and no W to show for it. Jurista and the Rattlers would like to keep those days

to a minimum. “Last year, we did well,” he said. “We only had two losses in the regular season, but then we lost to Kelowna. Hopefully, we can make up for it this year.”

Linden named president of Canucks’ hockey operations CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Former Vancouver Canucks captain Trevor Linden has been named the team’s president of hockey operations. The announcement on Wednesday, April 9, came a day

after the Canucks fired president and general manager Mike Gillis. Linden played 19 seasons in the NHL, mostly with the Canucks. He was named team captain at age 21 and led the team to the 1994 Stanley Cup final, where Vancouver lost in seven games to

the New York Rangers. The 43-year-old Linden scored 375 goals and added 492 assists in 1,382 career NHL games. “Today is a real honour,’’ Linden said. “I came to Vancouver 26 years ago and I have never left. I love this city. It is my home and

the Canucks have always been part of my family. “I’m passionate about the Canucks and I want to win — just like our fans. I believe in this team and share the organization’s commitment to excellence on and off of the ice. I am looking forward

to getting started, getting to know everyone in the organization and working together to win the Stanley Cup for this great city and province.’’ Gillis was fired after the Canucks failed to make the playoffs for the first time in six years.

Over two million Canadian women suffer from osteoporosis - the loss of bone mineral density and increased risk of fracture. Women in menopause can lose over 2% of bone density in a single year. Forty percent of women over 50 will suffer from a bone fracture and 25% of those who have a hip fracture will survive less than one year.

Current solutions = limited success

Calcium is necessary for bone growth, but supplementation has had limited success in actually rebuilding bones. North Americans are taking a lot of calcium, but still have high rates of osteoporosis due to poor absorption. Pharmaceuticals designed to treat osteoporosis can be effective, but the side-effects can be undesirable or even dangerous.

Now there is a more effective natural solution. BoneMD® contains MBP®, a whey protein fraction clinically shown to increase bone mineral density (BMD) and suppress b one loss (resorption).

Rehill, Harlacher ranked for draft Rehill, an Edmonton native, played all 72 games for the Blazers this season, amassing 20 points, including four goals. The 18 year old stands 6-foot-3, 213 pounds and was ranked 76th heading into the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

Kamloops Blazers’ defencemen Ryan Rehill and Edson Harlacher were both among the top 210 North American skaters in NHL Central Scouting’s final rankings released on Tuesday, April 8.

Harlacher was ranked 196th. The 17-year-old Switzerland native played in 71 games for Kamloops and tallied nine assists. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound defenceman was named the Blazers’ top rookie for the 2013-14 season.

Mac Isle BMX park to be filled in

The Kamloops BMX park on McArthur Island may have seen its last action ever this past weekend. There was no competition, just kids playing on what remains of the dirt track, but Jeff Putnam, facilities and business operations supervisor with the City of Kamloops, said the site won’t be open much longer. “We’ll be filling it in,” he said.

“We’ve got a lot of road construction projects on the North Shore and what we’re going to use is free-fill from those projects as needed and slowly fill it in. “We’ll be chipping away at it for the next few months.” In the long term, the site will become a gravel-surface overflow parking lot for McArthur Island, increasing the Island’s capacity for vehicles and on-site park-

ing. The parking lot should be operational some time in 2015. “This year will be a transition year — we’ll be adding fill, bringing it up a little bit and then having a gravel base eventually,” Putnam said. “We don’t really have a budget item for that yet, so we’re just going to be picking away at that as we can.”

Ultimate Warrior leaves many with memories

HE POWER of the Warrior is flowing through my

veins. More sad news from the professionalwrestling world on Tuesday, April 8 — Jim Hellwig, the Ultimate Warrior, collapsed while walking to his car in Arizona with his wife and was later prounced dead in hospital. He was 54. Yes, Hellwig was troubled — just watch a few YouTube documentaries — but stomping on a man’s grave doesn’t interest me, especially when there’s so much more to the story. I grew up saying my prayers and eating my vitamins, a Hulk Hogan guy through and through, but the Warrior’s death brought with it sadness, for me and the vast majority of the wrestling world. Twitter blew up. I spent hours reading tweets and watching old Warrior promos on Tuesday night, trying to make sense of what he said (never an easy task) and appreciating the incredible amount of entertainment

MARTY HASTINGS The Tattle of Hastings he provided. The Warrior (he legally changed his name in 1993) scared me when I was a boy. Before I grew up and became jaded, I was a Hulkamaniac, among the millions of young kids who rooted for the good guys, the babyfaces in wrestling terminology. Now, Warrior was a face, but the lines were a little blurred with him, a direct adversary to the Hulkster, his deranged and maniacal persona rubbing many the wrong way, including myself, my parents and our Christian family. So, when the Warrior, speaking with almost demonic fervour, talked about Hogan being involved in some kind of fantasy-land plane crash, taking over the cockpit and throwing it into a nose dive, yeah, I was

His words now seem prophetic. “Every man’s heart one day beats its final beat,” Warrior said. “His lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others, it makes them bleed deeper and something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized.’’ It’s almost as if he knew what was coming — that the rocket ship was loading up with fuel one last time, setting course for the afterlife.

He lived on charisma, something he had in overwhelming abundance, with perhaps as much star quality as anyone the business has ever seen. You never knew what was going to happen when he stepped into the squared circle and that remained the case until the night before his death, when he appeared on Monday Night Raw, three days after being inducted to the Hall. I was watching on Monday night, on edge as I’m sure WWE brass was, when the ticking-time-bomb Warrior grabbed the mic on live PG TV, with millions watching around the world.

SPRING Brooklyn-born blues joining SPECIALS

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

CART AND TAX INCLUDED (ALL DAY UNTIL TIL MAY 1ST)

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Behind the award-winning, internationally renowned jazz singer Shakura S’Aida is another person — mom. On the day KTW called her in Toronto, S’Aida was doing that thing moms do, multi-tasking and trying to get some chores done and get dinner on the table for her kids. It was going to be pizza, she said. “You’re getting to talk to the real me right now.” The role of mom has been integral in S’Aida’s life. Her mother was a major influence on the person she has become, she said, from the music that has inspired her to the oratory skills she possesses and uses when on stage. For her concert with the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra — a two-day gig on Friday, April 11, and Saturday, April 12 — she’s calling it Blues in G Minor: 4 Women. “The first voice I concentrated on studying was Billie Holliday,” S’Aida said. “And then I heard Etta James Live at San Francisco. I discovered Nina Simone shortly after.” Those three singers will be the focus of the first set, with the second set “my music,” she said. S’Aida said the idea of performing with symphonic orchestras was, in a way, given to her by her daughter. “She plays four instruments, but the first one she leaned to play was the clarinet,” she said. “And I wanted her to play with me, but she said no, she just wants to play symphonic music — and I was thinking the blues has a beat, but the symphony really doesn’t. “But, when you listen to the great blues songs, there are strings in those songs. The blues is not that far from what they [symphony musicians] are used to listening to. “Blues people should go to the symphony.” With input from keyboardist Lance Anderson — himself a Maple Blues Award winner who played for years with Oscar Peterson — the concept grew to a full-scale concert. S’Aida said she originally wanted to be an interpreter, but the call of music was too strong, even though she didn’t throw herself completely into it until she was in her 40s. Instead, when she was younger, she learned to speak several languages, benefitting from the four years the Brooklyn-born woman lived with her mother in Switzerland when S’Aida was younger. “Everything works out the way it’s supposed to,” she said of her career choices. S’Aida’s mom was a civil-rights activist in the U.S. in the 1960s, a belief that led her to develop a strong sense of self and equally strong oratory skills. She said she gets those speaking qualities, but not her musical talent, from her mother. “My mom likes singers, but you don’t want to hear her sing,” she said. “My mom has beauty and brains, but she can’t sing.” S’Aida is excited to get back to the B.C. Interior, an area she wasn’t familiar with until recently. She performed at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival last year and declared it “the This week’s feature:

Another reason to head back there.” S’Aida also praised local music enthusiast Brant Zwicker, who has been working with others in the city to build a burgeoning blues society. “Brant understands it,” she said. “He understands the need to explore and exploit the blues. “There’s a resurgence of the blues taking over people, connecting them. They’re getting to know each other. “It’s like a meeting of the minds.” Tickets for the concert are at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

Smith isn’t shy anymore Dallas Smith, Chris Lane Band and Florida Georgia Line at ISC By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Dallas Smith was a shy kid, afraid of singing in front of people until about the age of 19 or 20. “So I had a few drinks with my friends on a Friday night and sang a couple of cover [songs],” he told KTW from his home in Vancouver. The shy kid from Langley is a far cry from the musician who formerly fronted the rock band Default. He’s now opening on the Western leg of Florida Georgia Line’s Here’s to the Good Times Tour and will play a sold-out show with the countrypop band in Kamloops this weekend. “It just happened naturally,” he said. It’s not the first time Smith has played in the Tournament Capital and it’s not his first trip into Interior B.C.

TICKET INFO:

LIMITED SEATS STILL AVAILABLE: Ticket prices range from $48.50 to $68.50. Purchase them online from ticketmaster.ca.

He guesses he’s been to the area a couple of dozen times or so, between gigs and growing up on the Coast. His friend’s family even had a place at Shuswap. “We’d spent some time growing up at the lake,” he said. He called his B.C. childhood “regular.” “I played some baseball, lots of street hockey out in front of my house,” he said. Smith does remember a lot of music in the house — and a divide between his parents’ musical tastes that still influences him today. Growing up, his father enjoyed classic rock, while his mother preferred country.

It’s not unlike his transition from rock into the country genre. He said he gravitated toward it as he noticed the lines blur between the two styles. “Those [rock] sounds are creeping into country,” he said. “It’s evolving again as it always does.” His mom helped shift him along, too. But, if you told him 10 years ago he’d one day be a country musician, he’d have been “shocked.” It was, however, a good move for Smith. His first country album, Jumped Right In, had five 2013 Canadian Country Music Association award nominations and he hasn’t looked back. He joins the Chris Lane Band at Interior Savings Centre on Friday, April 11, and said the audience can expect a “highenergy version of country music. “We’re not much of a standthere-and-sing kind of band.”

Deadline for arts grants approaching By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Western Canada Theatre has received two grants from the B.C. Arts Council to help continue its work with youth. A $30,000 grant under the council’s youth-engagement pilot program will be used to continue paying for a part-time education co-ordinator. In making the announcement, the council noted its interest in a new partnership WCT has with Thompson Rivers University to create a theatre company composed of young wouldbe actors. A $24,000 early career-development program grant will be used to continue its involvement with Jared Rashke, who is working with Ross

Nichol to develop his skills as a technical director, production manager and perhaps branch into stage design. The council is accepting applications for other grants it provides for organizations and people involved in music, dance, theatre, literary arts and training. With more than $800,000 to allocate, the council is accepting applications for its professional project-assistance program for arts periodicals, arts training, dance, music, theatre and literary. Deadline to apply is Tuesday, April 15. The maximum grant available is half the projected budget total. For more information, go online to bcartscouncil.ca/deadlines_date.html.

Confessions of a Curber Thank goodness, the stolen vehicle was behind me. Did I feel bad? Yes. Does it make me a bad person for selling a stolen vehicle? Probably. But to outsiders, my life hasn’t changed. I’m still the same old Walt. Oh, if they only knew. I was on a roll. To my disbelief, I’d sold seven cars already. I guess you could say it was a part of me now – I “flip” cars on the side. And, I was branching out – with a truck and camper. The truck had been rebuilt. It was roadworthy again. I even had the inspection records to prove it. And the camper? That was marketing genius. When I put it up for sale, I fibbed. But only a little bit. “Truck for sale. Fixed after fender bender, looks new. Includes camper. It’s been in an accident, so I’m selling both for a low price. Great for family adventures. Call if interested.” Shortly after, I got a call. The man had a distinct, charming accent. He asked me what a “fender bender” was. I explained that it was a small accident. He seemed pleased and asked to meet me the next day. I assumed he was relatively new to the country, so I thought this would be an easy sale. Boy was I wrong! He’d gone to “new immigrant” welcome classes, where they shared information about life in Canada. I think this was where he developed an interest in camping Canadian style. He knew all the right questions to ask. But, I

gave him all the wrong answers. And, I didn’t tell him the camper was way too heavy for the truck to be safe. He also asked for a vehicle history report. I pulled the CarProof report out. I mean, I had nothing to hide. He asked me what “rebuilt*” meant. I told him that, because of the small accident, the transmission needed to be rebuilt. Oh, but I’d altered the sections detailing the amount of damage. Judging from his English skills, I’m sure he didn’t understand the difference. At least he was trying. He got an “A” for effort. I hope he figures out that the truck and camper would be unsafe on the road when he gets it fully loaded with passengers, fuel and gear. Good thing I have my “no returns” policy! Yes, I know what you’re all thinking. This is the lowest of the low. But you have to understand. I was slightly manic about this whole thing. At this point, I would do anything to make a sale and get myself another wallet full of cash.

*Rebuilt - This status is assigned to “salvage” vehicles after they have been repaired and have passed inspection. Vehicle status alone does not fully describe a vehicle’s mechanical condition or damage history. This applies to RVs, motorcycles, cars and trucks.

“I didn’t tell him the camper was way too heavy to be safe.”

AUTO MARKET

Chrysler 200 is a new breed of sedan

Optional is seven-inch centre cluster customizable display that provides information on everything from fuel economy to turn-byturn navigation. A great deal of attention was placed on the interior styling of the 200 with liberal used of soft-touch materials.

X From B7

With the V6 and the sports suspension, the 200 S tracked nicely through some very twisty roads Chrysler found outside the Louisville area where the Canadian launch was held. The V6 is the most powerful in the mid-size segment and felt like it. Prod the pedal and the 200 S jumped off the line. But, where the power was most felt was during lane change acceleration speeds. The S as tested has the available seven-inch centre cluster customizable display that receives and gives feedback in a form the driver prefers, not unlike an iPhone. Surrounded in a light blue, the screens provide information such as speed, time, ambient temperature, real time fuel economy, compass (I like this one) and even turn-by-turn navigation all just below the driver’s straight ahead vision. Also available is Chrysler’s Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment centre which is one of the easier to use in the industry. Voice-to-text, hands free voice commands and voice-activated navigation are all possible. The Limited has the same European feel to the steering but not having the sport suspension and 111 less hp made a difference in handling through the twisty bits, but it was well-mannered on the highway. On-ramp merging was done without fuss and it came up to flow of traffic speed without resorting to full throttle due to the flexibility of the ninespeed automatic. The cloth seats were nicely formed with welcome thigh support for the long legged. On both cars there was a noticeable difference in noise with a window open. When shut, there was big drop in decibels indicating the engineers had done their job in making the cabin a nicer place to be. Also making a contribution was the overall shape. The 200 is one of the new breed of sedans that are styled to look like a coupe. The roofline is an ellipse that does wonders to reduce drag but the trade-off is back seat headroom, which can be tight for the tall. Another concern was a sizeable B pillar. As a driver, trying to look over the left shoulder to see on-coming traffic was a challenge, so it’s a wise move to position your outside mirrors correctly. Having said that, the roof and subsequently higher trunk results in 453 litres (16.0 cu ft) of cargo volume. Towing, by the way, is not recommended. An interesting safety feature is a standard electronic parking brake with Safe Hold. It locks the car in place if the driver opens the door or unbuckles the safety belt when the car is in reverse or forward gear. The 200 S comes in the second quarter of this year and into a crowded segment with tough competition from the likes of Camry, Accord, Fusion and Malibu. What makes the 2015 Chrysler 200 different will be its blend of two DNAs into one new breed of mid-size sedan.

McLaren and Spider offer speed and luxury

Following the global debut at the Geneva Auto Show, the McLaren 650S Coupe and 650S Spider are now on sale in the US and Canada across all 15 retail locations. Both will have their North American debut at next week’s New York Auto Show. As the first example of the McLaren 650S rolled off the line at the state-of-the-art McLaren Production Centre in Woking, England, McLaren Automotive has released performance numbers and confirmed pricing as part of the global debut at the 84th International Geneva Motor Show. Canadian pricing for the 2015 McLaren 650S Coupe start at $287,000 and $305,500 for the 650S Spider. The latest addition to the McLaren range accelerates from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 2.9 seconds and can reach 100 miles per hour in just 5.7 seconds. The standing quarter mile takes 10.5 seconds, and top speed is 207 miles per hour in coupe form. This performance puts the latest model from McLaren 0.6 seconds faster over the standing quarter mile than the iconic McLaren F1 road car, and a full second quicker to 124 miles per hour, underlining its performance focus. Optimized aerodynamics ensure that the performance of the McLaren 650S is accessible and increases driver engagement. Enhanced handling, high-speed balance and steering turn-in result from improved levels of downforce. Despite these impressive performance figures, more akin to a stripped out road racer, the McLaren 650S boasts a high level of luxury specification. Standard equipment includes carbon ceramic brakes that sit behind unique 650 lightweight alloy wheels and shod with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires. Inside amenities provide a fully-trimmed cabin in lightweight Alcantara, Iris satellite navigation with Bluetooth connectivity, Sirius satellite radio in North America, wireless tethering, audio streaming and voice control all fitted as standard.
