THE LAST TIME Marie Suecroft heard from Glenn Stecyk, the email he sent on March 19 began, “Hi Babe,” and ended with, “love u G.” In it, Stecyk told Suecroft his legs and arms were hurting most of the time. She told him to go to the hospital and get checked out. Suecroft has no idea if he ever did. When she next heard of the man she calls her soulmate, it was via a call from Stecyk’s sister, telling Suecroft he was dead, found by a passerby under a tarp on a hunk of land near the intersection of Schubert Drive and Ford Avenue on April 5. How the one-time welder ended up homeless is a story Suecroft says breaks her heart.

This is the only photo Marie Suecroft has of Glen Stecyk, one she has kept in her wallet since it was taken in 1998. His death, and how he breathed his final breath under a tarp on a cold Kamloops night, was a culmination of his losing battle with the bottle.

HOODOO RESCUE? FIREFIGHTERS DO! A 40-year-old woman had to be rescued by Kamloops firefighters on Thursday, April 10, after slipping and finding herself perched precariously on a ledge amid the hoodooes just past Kamloops Airport. The rope rescue was successful and the hiker was uninjured. Dave Eagles/KTW

McLeod will miss Flaherty’s ‘Irish twinkle’

IN BE T KA ST HE M VI LO EW O PS !

Cathy McLeod will remember Jim Flaherty for his “amazing sense of humour” and for the deep respect he was afforded by members of all political parties. Flaherty, the longtime Conservative finance minister who only three weeks ago surprised many by stepping away from politics, died suddenly at his Ottawa home on Thursday, April 10. He was 64. McLeod, the Conservative MP for KamloopsThompson-Cariboo, told KTW from Ottawa she was preparing to enter Question Period when she

heard the news. “We are grieving the loss,” she said, noting she had not heard any news on cause of death, though Canadian Press has reported Flaherty succumbed to a massive heart attack. “The coming days will be the time to reflect on his legacy,” McLeod said. “Now is the time to think of Jim and this triplet sons. He had an amazing sense of humour and he had respect from all sides of the House. I will miss his Irish twinkle.” Flaherty is survived by wife Christine Elliott,

herself a member of the Ontario legislature, and their triplet sons — John, Galen and Quinn, all born in 1991. To most Canadians, Flaherty will always be closely associated with his handling of the global financial crisis that hit Canada in October of 2008. Economist Jack Mintz, who advised the finance minister during the period, said the crisis was a trial by fire and Flaherty, despite not being an economist, proved his mettle by not only what he did, but also what he didn’t.

JIM FLAHERTY: Former finance minister died suddenly yesterday.

Sex offender stopped taking medication By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A sex offender the Crown is seeking to label as a dangerous offender told a judge the drugs he took to control his impulses a decade ago caused him to grow breasts. David Jennings, 50, also claimed he doesn’t remember his sexual offences against children in Alberta in the 1980s and 1990s and denied fondling a boy in 2011 at a rural area outside Kamloops. The Crown is seeking to have Jennings labelled a dangerous offender with an indefinite jail sentence following his last conviction. He was also jailed after he breached a court order to stay away from children when he befriended a 13-yearold boy while volunteering at a Salvation Army thrift store in Kamloops. The sexual offence three years ago against the boy — who called him Uncle Dave — at the rural home occurred despite the

DAVID JENNINGS fact Kamloops RCMP issued a public warning about Jennings and the threat he poses to children. In each case, he befriended families, who allowed him to be around their children Crown prosecutor Joel Gold outlined Jennings’s offences in Alberta that involved fondling children as young as three years old. In each case, Jennings shook his head and said, “No.” “I can’t remember any of it. I’m telling you the truth — I don’t remember,” he said. But, Gold accused Jennings of minimizing the past by pretending

to forget it. “Do you really not remember, sir, or do you not want to talk about it?” In the case of his conviction for fondling a young boy at Skeetchestn Indian Reserve, Jennings denied it, saying “it never happened. “It’s getting me quite sick because it’s so negative. There’s nothing positive here,” he complained to Judge Len Marchand. Jennings chose to take the stand in his own defence. He told his own lawyer, Murray Armstrong, he was prescribed an antiandrogen drug to reduce his sexual

impulses. He took it for several years, until 2004. But Jennings said he couldn’t tolerate the side effects of the drug. “I don’t think they should be doing that. I’m a man. “The gave me female hormones.” Jennings said he grew breasts as a result and required surgery. “I wouldn’t wish that on anyone,” he said. During his testimony, Jennings frequently complained about newspaper stories, coverage he said caused him problems at the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. Despite threats, he claimed he would prefer to be housed with the general population. But, Gold noted correspondence from KRCC indicating Jennings asked to go in protective custody. At times, he has even needed protection from other sex offenders housed in protective custody. Following the hearing, Marchand can opt to give Jennings a finite jail sentence, a jail

No foul play connected to human remains Kamloops Mounties have ruled out foul play in the discovery of human remains this week on Mission Flats. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said police have turned the investigation over to the BC Coroners Service, meaning investigators don’t believe any criminal wrongdoing took place. Family members of Alexander McIntosh, an elderly Kamloops man who went missing in August, have taken to social media to say coroners

have told them the remains have been identified as his. McIntosh, 87, vanished in August 2013. His car was found in the parking lot at Riverside Park and a witness reportedly saw someone in the river, but police couldn’t find any trace of the man. Coroners have yet to publicly identify McIntosh. The remains, described by Bush as “skeletal,” were found on Tuesday, April 8, on private property along the Thompson River on Mission Flats.

Prison upgrades perimeter fence By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre (KRCC) has beefed up its perimeter fence — but, it wasn’t a step taken to keep bad guys from getting out. It was to keep bad things from getting in. “I can’t get into all of the changes for obvious concerns,” said Dean Purdy, spokesman for the B.C. Government Employees’ Union (BCGEU), the union representing the jail’s correctional officers. “KRCC has been doing upgrades to the perimeter fence.” The fence improvements were made after three break-ins to the jail since 2011, most recently last July. In each case, culprits were able to breach the perimeter fence and drill a hole in a plexiglass window, presumably through which to pass contraband. No contraband was ever linked directly to any of the break-ins, according to documents obtained by KTW. Those documents — correspondence between jail staff and BC

NEW LUNCH BUFFET

The Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre has had security beefed up with the bolstering of its perimeter fence, necessitated by three attempts to smuggle contraband into the prison.

Corrections officials — included talk of upgrading the perimeter fence. According to those emails, the upgrades were first recommended in 2011. Purdy said the fence improvements mean better security for prisoners and staff. “We had 18 assaults on our officers last year alone at KRCC and you add in contraband, drugs, alcohol into the mix, and it ups the ante,” he said. “It [the fence upgrade] is something we’re pleased management has moved ahead on and it will prevent some events in the future.” Purdy pointed to an incident earlier this year in Prince George, where that city’s provincial jail was locked down for five days over concern a gun had been smuggled inside. “KRCC is no different,” he said. “It’s one of six maximum-security jails in the province and we’re always looking at ways to improve security.”

No fare trying to collar a cab when sun sets in Kamloops

AS IT ONE TOO many detours through the Golden Arches at 2 a.m.? it didn’t make any sense. I had always offered to share my fries. The more I sorted through the fog of my intoxicated adventures, the clearer it became — it’s tough getting a safe ride home after a night out in Kamloops. Just this past weekend, my brother ordered two taxis after we celebrated my dad’s birthday downtown. The first came quickly. The second — well, it turned out to be the first cab, a second time, an hour after it was ordered. That’s more than enough time for your phone to die or for you to finish your McDonald’s. It’s also enough time to be robbed, kidnapped, raped, tortured or murdered. I’m not sure if it’s a cab shortage, bar-flush rush hour or just the sheer geography of Kamloops, but I’ve learned desperate times have led to creative and desperate measures to this cab condundrum. I can remember a trek from downtown to the Valleyview McDonald’s after convincing friends beforehand to bring sneakers to the bar and walk with me on an “adventure.” I remember several other walks up West Battle Street to a friend’s house, not to mention that doozie up First Avenue. Waiting for a taxi on other occasions, I’ve unsuccessfully tried breaking into a friend’s nearby

home, found shelter in business doorways, called my 80-year-old grandmother for a ride and have been forced — yes, forced — to walk to Denny’s, order hashbrowns and wait it out. The hashbrowns were obviously a necessary comfort food. I’ve tried outsmarting the system by determining the cabs’ downtown street of entry. I know someone who made a habit of walking from the pub to the hospital and calling a cab from there. My brother had a phase of running — I mean full-on jogging — from downtown and home to Valleyview. I’d call him, worried, and he’d pant into the phone that he was fine, sprinting into the night and into the valley. No big deal — just don’t drunkenly trip in the dark and smash your head open. Clearly by the amount of latenight McDonald’s references in this column, I party too much. And, while the walk up First Avenue may very well be the best thing to work off those french fries,

I’m concerned. Because, while these trips home seem ridiculous, the only thing more ridiculous would have been driving home — drunk. I wonder how many people do? I’ve heard of wait times of up to two-and-a-half hours for a cab in Kamloops — and those bar lineups aren’t getting any shorter. Surely, we should all be able to plan accordingly, have a little fun and get home safely. Drinking-and-driving laws have become tougher, but we should be making it easier to get a safe ride home, whether via more taxis, longer transit hours, bar shuttles or the expansion of online pickup service Uber into the city. In the meantime, I’ve compiled some tips to get you by in Kamloops. First, make a friend who lives near your preferred drinking establishment. You need to know you can break into their house at 3 a.m. Second, no heels — never, ever the heels. You can’t walk from Victoria Street to Aberdeen in fiveinch stilettos. Third, don’t stay out until closing. The last song is Don’t Stop Believing, so download it to your phone and say goodnight. Finally, and most importantly, always have a backup plan. Because, one thing you can rely on is Denny’s being open 24 hours to serve you some comfort food while you wait for your ride home. jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Canada’s election season has arrived Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog, might have misjudged the onset of spring when he failed to see his shadow earlier this year, but if he were predicting election season, he’d have been bang on. Silly season came early this year and we’re ramping up not only municipal elections in November, but also the federal election in 2015. That’s the downside to fixed election dates — campaigning starts before the previous mandate has worn out. But, it’s not just two upcoming elections that have our attention. This week’s vote in Quebec started the election ball rolling. The people of Quebec didn’t vote in the Parti Québécois. After an election that rivaled even B.C.’s wackiest, it’s not hard to reason why. This is the same party that brought in the Quebec secular values charter, which banned wearing of any religious symbols, from turbans to crosses. There was the accusation that students from McGill and other universities were mass registering from out of province, suggesting English Canada was trying to hijack the Quebec election to avoid another referendum on sovereignty. Turns out the ridings the PQ cited in its accusations actually had voter registration decline, suggesting there was no mass sign-up whatsoever. Then, of course, there was the sovereignty debate. English Canada certainly isn’t interested in heading down the constitutional path anytime soon — and, judging from the results, neither are Quebeckers. But, it highlights the importance of voting. If turnout was lower, there’s a good chance the Parti Québécois could have returned to power. It’s the same with any election — even if you believe voting is simply choosing between the lesser of two evils, it’s still really important you cast a ballot.

Re: Letter: Can KGHM even afford to develop Ajax mine?

“Don’t be mistaken, John. The Lacasse/ Koopman team will always work passionately hard for the best interest of the community, regardless of what the company decides. “At least that was the ‘pledge’ I read somewhere. “Considering their stellar pro-community credentials they are not going to pull a ‘Christy Clark-type’, move or are they?” — posted by Lymann Duff “Since you appear to be such an astute businessman, perhaps you should go work for KGHM and straighten everything out for them? “Surely ‘only’ making a paltry billion dollars in 2013 is nothing to sneeze at, particularly given the current economic times.” — posted by John

KGHM needs to find middle ground in Kamloops Editor: I feel like I’m part of the majority in Kamloops that is sitting on the fence when it comes to the proposed Ajax mine. I want what’s best for Kamloops and will be waiting to read the environmental assessment before I form my final opinion. However, after capturing the picture of Kamloops from the north, I felt inclined to voice my view. In this day and age, any project must be sustainable, so three key factors I’m judging this project on are economic, social and environmental impacts. Does the mine provide these in the best interests of the city? I believe economically it does. Obviously there might be some cons economically — but, overall, it will directly and indirectly provide good-paying jobs and bring money into the city. The social aspect has yet to be brought forward. However, I have no reason to believe KGHM would not support or sponsor community events and organizations. The major concern I and the rest of the city share is the

third key factor — sustainability and environmental impacts. Now, obviously the mine fails in this category, thus making it nearly impossible for this or any mine to be sustainable. Mines have one main purpose, extracting minerals to produce everyday tools and devices that we as a society can’t live without. This mine’s location is what makes environmental concern more prevalent. This brings me to the picture I took last year as I entered the city from Rayleigh. It shows the Domtar pulp mill welcoming visitors and residents alike while it nicely spreads a far greater amount of air pollution than the proposed mine should ever generate — a facility that gets little attention from the anti-Ajax side who have a very environmentally biased view toward the mine. This unfortunate city landmark is what welcomes people as they approach the city and is way more detrimental to our health, air quality and image than the mine would ever be. I would suggest to KGHM that they get creative if they want to win over my vote and many more in this town. They want to come into Kamloops and dig up our

Q&A WE ASKED Should a performingarts centre rise on the former site of the Kamloops Daily News?

backyard and pollute our air? The city should get more than a slightly larger tax base and a couple hundred jobs. I propose that, since there isn’t room in this city for two major polluters — let alone one — they purchase the Domtar pulp mill, shut it down permanently and rehabilitate the land. Once the land has been reclaimed, KGHM could turn a large portion of the land over to the city to use as park land and the Rivers Trail and some could be sold for a mixed-use waterfront-style development. I feel this would be a win for the majority of residents. The pulp mill negatively affects far more people than the mine would and possibly the only way for the city to sustain such an environmen-

tally negative project. As for the employees of Domtar, KGHM could give them preferential hiring status. My point is — KGHM needs to get inventive if they want to develop the mine so close to the city. They preach about building communities, so what better way to show it than to invest in the revitalization of the community. This is not your typical location for a mine and Kamloops is no longer a resource city. I believe middle ground can be reached to satisfy both sides of the argument, and it involves KGHM giving up more than what they have on the table. Tyler Anderson Kamloops

BCLC exploits gambling addicts, form of mental masochism Editor: Re: KTW’s story of April 4 (‘Layoffs at BCLC?’): I’m somewhat curious about how people with a conscious willingly work at such an insidious source of considerable angst through addiction. The fact is, BCLC — a large and potent advertiser with our mainstream news media — is callously exploiting the often debilitating weaknesses of many of its consumers, especially those with obsessive compulsive tendencies, without offering gambling addiction withdrawal services and/or financing in return does not suffice. Psychological literature says gamblers intentionally, though

TALK BACK

typically subconsciously, gamble until they lose all they came with on games of chance. Addiction can reach an extreme point where, as demonstrated in the movie Owning Mahowny, the gambler can break a casino table’s funds and still not leave the casino until he/she is essentially broke. It’s written that they do so to have an excuse to punish their psyches afterwards. Sadly, it is a form of platonic mental masochism.

Why is autism on the rise? SFU researcher looking at environmental factors By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

One of the realities facing autism researchers is figuring out where to start, said Dr. Bruce Lanphear. But, at a time when an estimated one in 68 children will have the developmental disability, according to the most recent report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, research remains key, he said. For the Simon Fraser University researcher, the mostobvious area to target is the role environmental factors might play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Focusing on genetics doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense for the increase weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing,â&#x20AC;? Lanphear said. Better diagnoses might play a part in the increase, he added, but that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be used to explain what has been an increase ranging from 200 per cent to 600 per cent. Lanphear and nine other researchers studied 175 pregnant women in Ohio and their children for several years. Urine and blood samples of the women were taken and showed that, on average, each had 44 suspected hormonedisrupting chemicals in their bodies. The researchers asked the parents when their children turned four or five to rate their behaviours on a scale that would identify autism-like

behaviours â&#x20AC;&#x201D; how often they made eye contact of how well they played with others. The children of mothers with the highest level of the flame retardant PBDE-28 also showed a higher ratio of the autismlike behaviours, Lanphear said, while those mothers with the highest levels of transnonachlor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a component of the pesticide chlordane â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also ranked their children higher on the scale. The researchers note in the study more research is required into a possible link between autism and the two chemicals. Lanphear said they opted for a study that would look at hormone disruption because of other studies that have shown a link between changes in the way childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brains develop and the amount of exposure their mothers had to these environmental chemicals. The study focused on 52 chemicals known to disrupt hormones and worked on the hypothesis that males would be more likely affected â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a belief based on the statistics that also show more boys than girls are diagnosed with autism. Lanphear said the key hypothesis is the fetus is exposed to the chemicals early in the pregnancy and the chemicals affect its development. He said it becomes â&#x20AC;&#x153;a fishing expeditionâ&#x20AC;? trying to determine where to start in this research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there are one or

more of these toxins out there and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not expecting to identify the culprit,â&#x20AC;? he said. Instead, if the research helps fine-tune the field, Lanphear said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we can help others, then we have done our job.â&#x20AC;? However, he added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know enough that we should revamp our chemical regulations to protect people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we are willing to take a drug that has gone through one, two or three clinical trials to get to market, why would we expose ourselves to these toxins that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go through that process?â&#x20AC;? He said the key is to identify environmental triggers, assess the risk factors and change public-health policy. Lanphear pointed to fluoride, noting â&#x20AC;&#x153;people were up in arms about it for decades and public health pooh-poohed it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always wondered because half of the fluoride in our water is made of sodium phyllosilicate, which is a waste product from uranium mines.â&#x20AC;? He said his research interests are influenced by slides he saw of scientists doing studies in the 1950s, in labs lined with cages of rodents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of us are crazy about testing animals,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, the reality is, those are our children in those cages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And nobody asked us if we want to be exposed to all these chemicals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reality.â&#x20AC;?

Council nixes spending $35K on sustainability conference By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops won’t be pursuing a prestigious sustainability conference, but one city councillor thinks he would have had more support had he suggested the city spend $35,000 on a sports event. At its Tuesday, April 8, meeting, council decided against offering the Fresh Outlook Foundation $35,000 plus in-kind contributions to move its Building Sustainable Communities conference to Kamloops from Kelowna. According to a staff report, the conference attracts about 600 participants from 80 communities interested in building “more vibrant and resilient communities.” For the past six years, the event has been held in Kelowna, but Coun. Donovan Cavers said organizers approached him after he attended a previous session, expressing interest in moving the event because of a lack of support from the Little Apple. Conference organizers were asking the city for $50,000 of sponsorship money, though Cavers suggested $35,000 would be an acceptable degree

of support. Other councillors who attended the Kelowna sessions praised the conference, but said the support organizers were looking for is too much. “I agree it would be a good fit with Kamloops and, in particular, Thompson Rivers University,” said Coun. Ken Christian, noting he has attended the conference and found it excellent. “Having said that, there are a lot of conferences that come to Kamloops and all of them would like $35,000.” Mayor Peter Milobar said city staff have some money built into their budgets to sponsor community events, but it would be far less than what organizers are asking for. Councillors voted to offer Fresh Outlook $5,000, but Cavers said that won’t be enough to entice the conference to move. “I wonder, if this was a sports-type event, it would be easy for us to find this kind of support,” Cavers said. “The Thrive festival last year, council was able to find $75,000 of support.” Milobar said sporting and arts events the city has sponsored have agreed to set up legacy funds for Kamloops in exchange for financial support.

EFFECTIVE RETIREMENT PLANNING INVOLVES LOOKING AT BOTH SIDES OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD BALANCE SHEET When most people think about planning for retirement, the first thing that comes to mind is their savings – typically, Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) or Registered Pension Plans (RPPS)

KOOTENAY CONCERT CONNECTIONS PRESENTS

However, when it comes to planning for retirement, eliminating debt is just as important as creating an income stream. Debt and savings are two sides of the same coin. If you have debt in retirement, your principal and interest payments will generally come from the same pool of assets you’re using to fund your retirement. According to a recent homeowner survey, many Canadians are not confident they’ll be debt-free at retirement. While eight in 10 (80 per cent) Canadian homeowners who have debt indicate it’s very important to be debt-free by the time they reach their planned retirement age, fewer than six in 10 (56 per cent) are confident they’ll achieve that goal. The good news is that you can make a lot of progress in five to 10 years, especially with changes to how you structure and manage your debt. And, once you’re debtfree, you can focus your attention on other aspects of your finances to prepare for a comfortable retirement. BEFORE YOU RETIRE – ELIMINATE DEBT When asked what they’d do if they reached their planned retirement date and still had debt outstanding, sentiment among survey respondents was divided. Just under half of homeowners (47 per cent) indicated they’d continue to work until their debt was gone, while a similar number (45 per cent) indicated they’d retire even if they still had debt. If your only debt is your mortgage, taking advantage of any pre-payment privileges could be a good first step. However, if you’re like many people in their 50s, you may be carrying several debts in addition to your mortgage. A great way to get rid of mortgage and other consumer

debt in the years leading up to retirement is to consolidate that debt at one low rate. This could reduce your interest costs, make it easier to keep track of how much debt you still have outstanding and help you eliminate your debt sooner. DURING RETIREMENT – PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED No matter how well you’ve prepared for retirement, you may be faced with an unexpected financial need, such as a new roof for your house, or an unexpected opportunity, such as a vacation with friends. A number of banking products could help you be prepared. If you’re able to allocate sufficient cash to a “rainy day” fund, a highinterest savings account can keep your money growing and accessible. If your rainy day or emergency savings are smaller than you’d like, consider opening an all-in-one account, which includes a line of credit secured by your home. An all-in-one account allows you to earn a high rate of interest when your account has a positive balance and, if a financial need arises, you have convenient access to a secured line of credit. WORK WITH A PROFESSIONAL ADVISOR Your advisor can help you keep focused on reducing your debt – and this can be a big advantage in your journey towards a debt-free retirement. Once you retire, your advisor can assist you in identifying tools and strategies to help you keep your money stable, accessible and growing.

First Nations program expanding By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A program that has trained First Nations workers for the mining industry has expanded across B.C. and is branching out to other resource industry opportunities. Leonard Jackson, operations manager for the renamed Aboriginal Mentoring and Training Association, spoke on Tuesday, April 9, at the annual Kamloops Exploration Group conference. The program has

expanded from its roots in Kamloops to offices in Williams Lake, Cranbrook, Merritt, Terrace and Vancouver. It has been renamed, removing the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;mineâ&#x20AC;? from its title to reflect the fact it is training workers for a variety of resource industries, including mining, oil and gas and forestry. Four years ago, Jackson was the only employee Today it has 24 staff. Jackson said the agency has placed 730 First Nations workers

in jobs, including 125 with New Gold at its New Afton mine and at other operations. Another 40 are working at the Gibratar Mine in the Cariboo. A report found the average worker enrolled in the program had an annual wage of $14,000 upon entry. After completion of the program and

Hunter fined for private-property killing of deer A provincial court judge handed a $3,000 fine — with most of it going to a habitat trust fund — to a veteran hunter who admitted to killing a mule deer on private property, a shot that endangered a ranch owner. “It was a serious error to put people in jeopardy,” said sentencing judge Len Marchand. “This was a

significant safety issue.” Daniel Barron, 59, pleaded guilty to hunting without consideration for safety and hunting in a closed area, in this case private property, in March 2012. Crown prosecutor Joel Gold said a Clinton rancher watched Barron and a partner shoot a mule deer on his property. Two shots were fired, putting the targets between the hunters and the rancher and his property. “He was under the impression he was in the line of fire.” Barron said he mistak-

enly believed the property was public and didn’t see the rancher’s property, which he said was in a valley. He was otherwise licensed and hunting in an open season for deer. Marchand agreed with a Crown submission for a $3,000 fine on both counts. All but $200 will go to the provincial Habitat Conservation Trust Fund. “It was out of character for me,” Barron said. “I’ve been a hunter since my early teens. I’ve hunted many big game animals.”

Your feet are the foundation of your entire skeletal system. Even a slight misalignment of your foot can allow the arch to collapse. Strained muscles, spinal distortion, and poor posture can follow. Without a firm foundation to maintain proper alignment, foot pain can spread to the ankles, knees, hips, back, shoulders, and neck. The 52 bones in your feet make up 25% of all bones in your body. The feet contain approximately 250,000 sweat glands that excrete as much as a ½ cup of moisture every day.

The foot is different in many ways, and the construction of each foot is important to know; what design of foot do you have, Motion Control, Stability or Neutral. People who have FLAT FEET are not always problematic if flat feet are well-aligned, they enable a person to stand for longer periods of time, as the weight is distributed over a larger area. Injuries that occur like lower backache, headaches, indigestion and a misaligned spine can often be traced to problems with your feet. Standing in one spot is far more tiring than walking. The reason for this is that demands are being made on the same few muscles for a length of the time. The skin on your feet is thicker than it is anywhere else on your body.

FUN FACTOR FUN ZONE It is with great pleasure that we, at Kamloops Airport Ltd. and Vantage Airport Group, along with our partners at the Kamloops Airport Authority Society, celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Kamloops Airport. Over its long and varied history, Kamloops Airport has played a strong role in the growth of the community and the region. Not only is the airport a transportation enabler for airlines and their passengers as well as an ever increasing air cargo sector, it also serves as a base for provincial wildďŹ re response, RCMP Air Services and supports Canadian Forces training for search and rescue operations. Kamloops Airport is many things to many people. It is a place of commerce, supporting the local economy and businesses that have clients around the globe. It is a place where aviation

enthusiasts meet and a place where the aviation curious can spread their wings. But most importantly, the Kamloops Airport is a gateway to the City and the Region. It is a point of arrival and departure for our citizens, their friends, their relatives and their business associates. Students and vacationers from around the world gather here. So whether their journey is just beginning or nearing a close, our goal is to ensure all of our customers, are offered a safe, secure and efďŹ cient facility that reďŹ&#x201A;ects not only the City and region but also delivers their needs as travellers. In communities that are in a position to support a sustainable commercial airport in an increasingly competitive aviation environment, it is not only important, but essential that that the airport operator, whether municipal or private,

be connected with all facets of the aviation industry and in sync with the current air service needs of the community. We must ensure the airport continues to play its part in the growth and prosperity of the community. Airports today must, like the airlines and users of the airport they serve, be efďŹ cient and cost conscious. Although there are many opportunities for further development

within the airport environment, there is equally little appetite in the aviation community for excess. It is truly a balancing act to meet the expectations of community and the airport users along with meeting the many regulatory requirements all airports face. Kamloops Airport Ltd. is committed to ensuring that Kamloops Airport continues its role in supporting the

growth of the community it is proud to serve. Through our partnerships with local and regional businesses, active involvement within the community, and best use of the many resources and talents available through our parent company, we will be successful in meeting the many demands and expectations for many years to come.

World War II marked a period of increased activity and growth for the airport. The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) developed Kamloops Airport to support the U.S. Air Transport Command movement of aircraft to the U.S.S.R. Restrictions on civil aviation during World War II lead to the relocation of flight training facilities from Vancouver to Kamloops.

1960s

The 1960s was a decade of infrastructure expansion and passenger growth. A new air terminal building, extended runway and air traffic control facilities were developed to accommodate passenger growth and welcome jet aircraft. In 1967, 29,200 passengers were served and in 1968, Pacific Western Airlines brought Boeing 737 jet service to the community.

To accommodate continued passenger growth andcommercial flight activity, a new terminal was constructed at its current location. In the latter part of the decade however, a combination of factors including the opening of the Coquihalla Highway, the struggling local and national economies and airline deregulation contributed to a challenging outlook for Kamloops Airport.

Canadian Pacific Airlines began daily air service, connecting residents to Williams Lake, Quesnel, Prince George and Vancouver. Russ Baker founded Central BC Airways at Kamloops Airport, building what would eventually become Pacific Western Airlines.

1970s

Kamloops Airport continued to experience significant growth: 149,000 passengers were served in 1974, growing to over 230,000 passengers later in the decade. Following significant flood threats in 1972, a permanent dyke was constructed to ensure airport operations would continue during future flood events.

1990s

As part of a national strategy, Transport Canada transitioned ownership of most federally-owned airports to the communities they served. In 1997 the Kamloops Airport Authority Society became the new owner of Kamloops Airport. Kamloops Airport Ltd. assumed leadership and operation of the airport and its assets with primary responsibility for its safe, secure and efficient operation.

Today

In 2013, Kamloops Airport served nearly 300,000 passengers and continues to connect people and businesses to destinations around the world.

Kamloops Airport: Supporting Critical Air Services in the Region Kamloops Airport plays a strategic role in a number of air services beyond connecting passengers to their destinations. Our airport supports critical Search and Rescue Training operations and houses a base for the RCMP Air Services Branch. Kamloops Airport is also home to the Provincial Air Tanker Centre which coordinates air response to wildﬁres across the province. We are pleased to facilitate their operations, contributing to the safety and security of the region.

Provincial Air Tanker Centre

Also located at Kamloops Airport is the Provincial Air Tanker Centre. Responsible for the B.C. Forest Service air tanker fleet, the Air Tanker Centre coordinates with Air Attack Specialists and Fire Centre personnel to have air tankers drop fire retardant and foam on and near fires to limit their spread until ground crews an extinguish them. The Air Tanker Centre also provides services that include initial attack, support action and holding action tactics to combat wildfires in our province. Kamloops Airport is honoured to support this vital service for B.C.

CC-115 Buffalo: Transport/Search and Rescue Aircraft

One of Canada’s primary search and rescue (SAR) aircraft, the CC-115 Buffalo will fly in almost any weather. The agile Buffalo can take off and land on the most rugged terrain and in areas as short as a soccer field. All six Canadian Forces CC-115s are employed by 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron out of Comox, BC. The squadron is responsible for a SAR zone stretching from the B.C.–Washington border to the Arctic, and from the Rocky Mountains out to 1,200 kilometres over the Pacific Ocean.

CT-155 Hawk-Trainer Aircraft RCMP Air Services Branch As a base for the RCMP Air Services Branch and home to the AS 350B, the RCMP provides air support and assistance to operational personnel. This includes northern and regional patrols; transporting personnel, prisoners and supplies; and carrying out searches.

Selected for the NATA Flying Training in Canada (NFTC) because of its similarities for frontline ﬁghter aircraft, the CT-155 Hawk uses a Rolls Royce turbofan engine that generates more than 600 pounds of thrust, powering the jet to supersonic speeds. With its superior technology, this jet can perform a wide range of high performance training missions.

Building brewery of Belgian beers

RON JAMES Kamloops Sagebrush Theatre Sunday, May 4th

By Andrea Klassen

“gut-bustingly, knee-slappingly funny” - Ottawa Citizen

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s safe to say that, when the doors of the former Rivers Nightclub on Lansdowne Street open to the public once more, former patrons won’t recognize the drink menu. In place of drop shots and vodka tonics, expect small-batch beers, all made on site by owner and brewmaster David Beardsell. In fact, as a condition of the liquor licence Beardsell wants to obtain for the as-yetunnamed brewery, there won’t be so much as a bottle of hard liquor on site, unless it’s earmarked for the brewing process. “The majority of what we’re doing is manufacturing,” Beardsell told KTW as a major renovation that will transform Rivers into a brewery and tasting room roared on around him. Literally. In order to make the space work for brewing, Beardsell’s team is tearing up much of the floor to install more drains. “Our intent is not to be a full-service pub in any way, shape or form. We’re a tasting room. It’s all about beer.” It’s a new model for Kamloops and for the province itself. A manufacturing

David Beardsell wants a liquor licence to brew beer and create a tasting room at the former Rivers Nightclub on Lansdowne Street. Dave Eagles/ KTW

licence with lounge endorsement has only been an option in B.C. for a handful of months. The brewery, which Beardsell hopes to open in mid-July, will have a tasting room with capacity for 80 and will also offer sales of bottles and growlers. While there won’t be a restaurant setup similar to Beardsell’s last venture, the Noble Pig, the space will offer some food, mainly plates of breads, cured meats and cheeses prepared on site. It’s the beer, however, that will take centre stage. “We’ll make an IPA and a brown ale and some interesting stuff from England,” said

Beardsell. “But, the beers I really like to make are Belgian styles and they tend to be higher alcohol and very esoteric.” That will mean more brews in the vein of the Pig’s Kilt-Lifter Ale, an 11 per cent beer that spent several months aging in the brewpub’s cellar before serving. At the new brewery, Beardsell expects many of his brews will spend a year in a special barrel room, similar to that of a winery, before they’re served to the public. The extra wait softens and rounds out the flavour of the drink, Beardsell said, which is key for the more-alcoholic beer varieties. Because of the wait

times, he estimates it will be about two years before the brewery is in swing, though the first beers served on site only need to be started about six weeks out from opening day. Besides sales on site, the brewery also plans to sell large-size single bottles of its brews on the Lower Mainland and in Victoria and Calgary. While Beardsell has had a hand in much of the brewing done in the city over the last 20 years — before he became part-owner of the Noble Pig, he helped start Bear Brewery in the 1990s — the Rivers space is the fulfillment of a longtime dream for him

and his wife. “After all those years — and I’m 50 years old now — we finally got to the point where we have full ownership, we have full control of what we want to produce,” he said. The city still has to sign off on the operation, but Beardsell said staff has been receptive to the plan so far.

Was it a troll or the mountains of Norway? By Margaret Deefholts

SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

T IS A MOMENT of high drama. Squeezed shoulderto-shoulder on the deck the crowd, their cameras clicking furiously, know it. On the port side of the ship is a rubber life raft with a crew wearing orange jackets. Although they wave to us reassuringly, they are an emergency team, poised to take action if needed. The reason? We are making our way through a spectacular, but perilously narrow, Norwegian fjord and the churning water below our bow conceals a thicket of rocky outcrops. The captain steers the ship through the deepest part of the channel, with the precision of a tightrope dancer. The passage is so constricted the towering cliffs alongside our vessel seem a mere arm’s length away. Our ship, the MS Polarlys, slows to a crawl, and we turn a corner gingerly. The crags fall away and ahead of us lies a stunning vista of mountains: Tier upon tier of gigantic jag-toothed molars thrusting against the Nordic sky. Glaciers flow down steep gradients like spilled cream and islands glimmer miragelike in the distance. Then, up ahead of us looms yet another

slit where the waters flow between greedy rocks jutting like the paws of some enormous Norwegian troll waiting to pounce on our flysized ship. This is the Raftsund Strait, which opens up into the spectacular, and perhaps aptly named, Trollfjord. On a visit to the bridge, I ask the captain whether he uses electronic devices to guide the Polarlys through these waters. He shakes his head. “Never! I steer the ship manually,” he adds with a twinkle. “It’s very exciting!” I’m averse to floating-hotel-type cruise ships, so the Norwegian Hurtigruten voyages are

a refreshing no-frills experience. Their main business is transporting cargo to remote fishing communities dotting the Norwegian coastline, but they also offer accommodation for about 600 passengers in small, but comfortably furnished cabins. Many passengers on board are local folks travelling between small coastal towns. Meals are robust, and the dining room is elegant without being pretentious. However, there are no organized on-board activities or entertainment and no formal dress code. To my relief, I’m not required to tog up to the

nines to shake hands with a politely distant skipper while sipping watered down cocktails. In addition, passengers are free to disembark at all the ports of call — whether just for an hour or two at a rural fishing village or for an entire day at more sophisticated locales such as Bergen and Trondheim. To accommodate tourists, optional guided bus trips offer city tours and excursions through the adjacent countryside — a huge plus in my opinion. To my surprise, Norway’s fjords aren’t anything like our B.C. Inside Passage or the Alaska coastline. These Nordic inlets

are fissures that curl under overhanging cliffs and past pocket-handkerchief-sized valleys. They flow by settlements with clusters of houses painted in bright primary colours, steep pitched roofs and square or oblong windows set in symmetrical rows. They look like children’s building blocks — sturdy and simple. And then, there’s that singular quality of light: The Arctic sky, the water and the mountains bathed in rolling grey clouds, with sunbursts that sheen the waves to silver. At sunset, the mountains are navy blue silhouettes against a molten sky.

And in some areas, the fjords are so still and so deep that they reflect perfectly mirrored images. In Trondheim, an old bridge overlooks a row of 18th century wooden warehouses mirrored in the waters of the river Nid. The mystical landscape of Svolvaer reveals a wooded hillside that forms an arrow-head reflection in the lake. At the gift shop aboard the MS Polarlys, a display of Norwegian trolls — those horribly unkempt, but cute, little people — catch my eye. Norse legend says that these dwarfish creatures turn to stone if caught by rays of the

sun. I can see why — their faces and outlines lurk in natural rock formations, gliding by my porthole window. Strolling around the little fishing communities bring small moments of delight. At one point, I find myself in the midst of a bustling sidewalk fair with stalls selling everything from handmade knitted sweaters to canned fish and Norwegian souvenirs. I get back to the ship clutching — you guessed it — an adorably ugly baby troll. Travel Writers’ Tales is an independent newspaper syndicate. travelwriterstales.com

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Glenn Stecyk had his books and his camp â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

HE LAST time Marie Suecroft heard from Glenn Stecyk, the email he sent on March 19 started out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi Babe,â&#x20AC;? and ended with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;love u G.â&#x20AC;? In it, he told Suecroft his legs and arms were hurting most of the time. She told him to go to the hospital and get checked out. Suecroft has no idea if he ever did. The next she heard of the man she calls her soulmate was when his sister called to tell her he was dead, found by a passerby under a tarp on a hunk of land near the intersection of Schubert Drive and Ford Avenue on April 5. How the one-time welder ended up homeless is a story Suecroft says breaks her heart. She met him through her sister; Stecyk was her brother-in-lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend. Suecroft had gone to stay with her sister for a couple of weeks, needing family to help her cope with a divorce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My sister said Glenn always came over for a few hours but, when I stayed there for two weeks, he came first thing in the morning and they had to shoo him home when they wanted to go to bed,â&#x20AC;? she said, quietly crying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He liked me right away, too.â&#x20AC;? That was in Alberta in 1997 and the two were soon living together. Eventually, they moved to Kamloops. Suecroft found work at the former Convergys call centre and Stecyk got a job at the scrap-

metal yard on Ord Road, putting his training as a welder to work. He loved to read â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Zane Grey was his favourite, but he would read anything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He always beat me when we watched Jeopardy on TV, but I used to whip his butt when Wheel of Fortune came on,â&#x20AC;? Suecroft recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played hours of crib and chess â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which I would beat him at most of the time, though he would say otherwise â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and loved to go on picnics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was nothing like the two of us in my beat-up old pickup, sitting in the middle of a flat field while the worst lightning storms used to rage around us. He said it was the only way to appreciate the power of the storm.â&#x20AC;? But, in the background was the storm that comes in a bottle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a bad drinking problem and the booze just took over him,â&#x20AC;? she said. The only time they fought was when he was drunk. The rest of the time, Suecroft said, he had â&#x20AC;&#x153;a heart of marshmallow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We used to sing together, even though neither of us could sing very good. He would sing a line, then I would sing the next one and we were always hopping in the car and just going on road trips to nowhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we got tired of driving, then we would go home.â&#x20AC;? Before they moved to Kamloops, Suecroft developed a heart condition, requiring quadruplebypass surgery in 2003. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He used to take all

A taste of Burgundy & Pďż˝ovence with a touch of Paris

my pillows and blankets and set me up every time I had to move to get comfortable for a whole lot of months,â&#x20AC;? Suecroft said of her time recuperating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even when I got better and we moved to Kamloops, he was always making sure I was OK. He used to check up on me off and on all night long in case I quit breathing on him. He was terrified of me dying before him.â&#x20AC;? Eventually, she said, the drinking became intolerable and they separated, with Suecroft hoping the tough-love approach would bring back the man who used to watch the stars with her. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work and, in September of 2011, she moved back to Calgary. Before she left, however, she bought him a prepaid cellphone into which she has kept putting money so he could call her. Suecroft created an email account for Stecyk, who used it via computers at the public library. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He loved the library,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go in there almost every day and just read.â&#x20AC;? Ken Salter remembers the books Stecyk had at his camp. The outreach worker with the ASK Wellness Centre said he got to know Stecyk about a year ago and would check in on him often, trying to convince him to work with the agency to find housing, to take some steps to get his life back on track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the typical client I work with,â&#x20AC;? Salter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No drugs, no alco-

hol, no mental-health issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never saw him intoxicated. He was just quiet. Every time I talked to him, I got the feeling he just wanted to be left alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, he always had a book in his hands.â&#x20AC;? For a long time, Stecyk was living with several others in makeshift tents down by the river in front of the former Beach House Restaurant on Tranquille Road. There were about seven camps, Salter said, and bylaws officers had been trying to move the folks along. Finally, after several gentle pushes, bylaws decided it was time to clear them out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Salter went along. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Glenn just said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? Salter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, he just moved to the edge of the parking lot and stayed there. He slept in his sleeping bag; bylaws took all of his other stuff. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just sit there all day, go into the [Interior Indian] Friendship Centre and have a meal.â&#x20AC;? Stecyk also made his way over to the New Life Mission downtown. Dwight Wilson, who works there, remembers seeing Stecyk in the day room once in a while, having a cup of coffee and sitting by himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a quiet type of fellow, no problem at all,â&#x20AC;? Wilson said. Salter saw Stecyk on Tuesday, April 1, when bylaws officers went to his new camp site, a place they had been to several times as they tried â&#x20AC;&#x201D; again â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to get him to realize he needed to get some help. Salter later returned

and saw Stecyk had packed up most of his possessions in a shopping cart and looked ready to move on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He liked to open doors for little old ladies, carry their packages for them and he loved me as much as I loved him,â&#x20AC;? Suecroft said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, I have to wait â&#x20AC;&#x2122;till I go before I can see him again. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still mad at him that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so empty right now.â&#x20AC;?

How to avoid war in Ukraine

N one hand, eastern Ukraine appears to be slipping out of the government’s control GWYNNE DYER as pro-Russian groups seize World control of offiWATCH cial buildings in big eastern cities like Donetsk and Luhansk and demand referendums on union with Russia. They almost certainly do not represent majority opinion in those cities, but the police stand aside and people who support Ukrainian unity are nervous about expressing their opinions in public. On the other hand, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, has just announced that the EU, the United States, Ukraine and Russia will all meet somewhere in Europe next week to discuss ways of “de-escalating the situation in Ukraine.” That will be the first time Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, has agreed to meet with a representative of the Ukrainian government. So, is this crisis heading for a resolution or an explosion? It still depends on whether Russian President Vladimir Putin thinks that the annexation of Crimea is enough compensation for the humiliation he suffered when his ally in Kiev, former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych, was overthrown by a popular revolution. And, clearly, Putin hasn’t yet decided that himself.

Rationality says take your winnings to the bank and quit while you’re ahead. Putin’s action has guaranteed almost any imaginable Ukrainian government will be hostile for the foreseeable future, but the NATO countries will be willing to forget about Crimea after a while if he goes no further. Does he really want the United States, Germany, France and Britain as enemies, too? The temptation is there. Putin’s agents are everywhere in eastern Ukraine. He has 40,000 troops ready to go at a moment’s notice just across the frontier and all the Russian navy’s amphibious assault ships are now in the Black Sea. He could grab the Ukrainian coast all the way west to Odessa at the same time. The Ukrainian army would fight, but could not hold out for more than a day or two, and NATO would not send troops. Why not do it? There are lots of good reasons not to. Putin would face a protracted guerilla war in Ukraine — he would call it terrorism, of course. He would find himself in a new Cold War Russia would lose much faster than it lost the last one: it has only half the population of the old Soviet Union and now depends heav-

ily on Western markets for its modest prosperity. Putin would find new NATO military bases opening up in various countries on Russia’s borders that joined the alliance for safety’s sake, but have so far not allowed foreign — such as American and German — troops to be based permanently on their soil out of consideration for Russian anxieties. He really shouldn’t even consider grabbing Ukraine, but he is a man with a very big chip on his shoulder. So, what sort of line should the Europeans, Americans and Ukrainians be taking with Russia next week? This is about hard power, so appeals to sweet reason are pointless. Sanctions are also irrelevant: This has now gone considerably beyond the point where gesture politics has any role to play. The economic and strategic prices Russia would pay need to be big and they need to be stated clearly. But, at the same time, Russia’s own legitimate concerns have to be addressed, and the main one is its fear that Ukraine might some day join NATO. That requires a firm commitment Ukraine will be strictly neutral under international guarantee. Russia will also try to get a promise that Ukraine will be federalized, but that is none of its business and should be rejected. In the meantime, the shambolic Ukrainian provisional government needs to get a

grip: Not one of its leading figures has even visited the east since the revolution. In particular, it needs to take control of police in the east, whose commanders were mostly Yukanovych’s placemen, and restore the chain of command from Kiev to the local municipalities. It will then be relatively easy to take back the occupied government buildings without violence. Just stop all movement in or out, turn off the water and wait. None of this stuff is rocket science, but it’s not being done and the situation is getting steadily worse. Finally, money. Russia, under relatively competent authoritarian rule, has a GDP per capita of about $14,000. Ukraine, after a quartercentury of incompetent and sporadic authoritarian rule, has less than a third of that: $4,000 per head. It helps that Russia has a lot of oil and gas, but the contrast is huge and Ukrainians are aware of it — especially in the east. Ukraine needs lots of money in a hurry to stay solvent while it holds an election on May 25 and sorts itself out politically. And, if all of that is done, maybe Putin will settle for Crimea and put up with the prospect of having to live next door to a neutral, but democratic, Ukraine.

Small gestures meaningful

T’S IMPORTANT we remember and thank our past and present members of the armed forces every November — a token gesture compared to the sacrifices the country asks from them and their families in our service. The same government that puts forth the image of honouring our soldiers — sometimes 50 or more years after their service — is accused of abandoning them when they return home with injuries. Earlier this week, the House of Commons Defence Committee heard that there have been no fewer than eight suspected suicides of armed-forces personnel in the past 12 weeks, and the military surgeon general noted depression among them is twice as common. When confronted with these numbers, the government typically reacts defensively and spins information in the most positive light. This behaviour sends another message of devaluation to serving armed forces men and women. One of the problems of crunching the numbers related to suicide is that many “accidents” are not accidents. Camouflaging a suicide as an accident in the military — especially in a combat zone — is easier. The military claims it is working to understand why depression is rampant in the ranks. Surgeon General Brigadier-General JeanRobert Bernier said,

“We haven’t been able to pin it down to specific exposures in military life, although, there are all kinds of increased risk factors for depression because of military service.” We raise this difficult subject to empower our readers. We know that, for many veterans, returning from a difficult overseas posting, they can no longer view life the same way. There are losses difficult for civilians to understand. In high-risk deployments, soldiers are knitted together in units closer than family unity in some ways. When there is a loss in this group, it is disbanded or a wounded soldier returns home without his military unit for support, there is an emotional and psychological loss that defies an easy explanation. A sudden loss of purpose from a place where duty and expectations are quite black and white to the fuzzy grey of the civilian world is a tough emotional minefield to work through. Where one could react without thinking and know what to do and what is expected, many soldiers feel isolated, unvalued and lost when they return. Veterans from the world wars, Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East have all said in

their own way that they do not talk about their experiences for several reasons: It is too horrific to relive, no words adequately communicate memories or emotions and civilians have no frame of reference to get a true perspective on combat life. So, what can you do? When you see an opportunity, show your support for the work of the armed forces. You may have observed a person on the street who stops and shakes the hand of a soldier and thanks him for his service. You may have been in a coffee shop next to a table of armed forces people when their server said, “A gentleman has paid your bill before he left and told me to pass on that he appreciates your service.” You may have been on a commercial flight where all the passengers remain seated — even first class — while the two or three uniformed passengers leave the airplane ahead of everyone else, accompanied by enthusiastic applause of waiting passengers. These are not small gestures. They are meaningful and real and do more to support good mental health than you may ever realize. They impact the soldiers who experience it and raise the morale of comrades who are told about it.

MUG SHOTS CRIME OF THE WEEK ASHCROFT NEEDS OUR HELP

On Sunday March 30th, at approximately 1:23 am, a welding shop / chainsaw shop was broken into, the suspects took lawn trimmers, chainsaws and various other tools, for a value of over $7000. The suspects disabled the alarm system and entered a rear window off of the back alley, once inside the suspects had full access to the entire store. The suspects loaded all the stolen items into a pickup truck, the suspect vehicle was caught on video surveillance from a nearby business and is described as a white Ford F-350 pickup truck, door crew cab with black rock guard along the side of the truck. There is a possibility these suspects may have been involved in a break and enter in Barriere BC, earlier this year.

CAR LOT BUSINESS BROKEN INTO Shortly after 11:00 pm on Saturday April 6th, the Heart Beat Motors, used car lot had late night unwanted visitors, that broke into the business located on West Victoria St. The suspect smashed out the glass on the front door, entered the building and had full access to the office area. The

only thing taken was a very small amount of petty cash and possible a key or two to one of the vehicle. The vehicle locks have been changed, good Crime Prevention techniques prevented any further loss. Although this was later in the evening, the street is always busy throughout the night. It is very

the suspect may have gotten into a vehicle parked nearby. The suspect had disabled the alarm system and forced open a door to have access to the building. The only thing taken was a small amount of cash but the entire building and offices were search through. The police feel the suspect had been

in the business for sometime but departed quickly as they left tools and a flash light behind at the rear of the building. If you have any information about this break and enter, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will receive a cash reward for the arrest of the suspect.

Former Lion Reid to give keynote speech By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

NGUS REID HAS always loved coming to Kamloops. But his trip to the Tournament Capital will be a little different this time around. “It’s probably the first time in a long, long time I’ve been able to go to Kamloops in spring and not have to go to training camp, so that’s really nice,” Reid joked. “I always love going to Kamloops.” The former B.C. Lions’ offensive lineman will be back in the city on Saturday, April 12, giving the keynote address at the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame banquet. The awards ceremony, which will take place in the TRU Grand Hall, beginning at 6 p.m., is one of the biggest sporting events of the year in Kamloops. Athletes are recognized for their achievements and the Kamloops Sports Council’s (KSC) annual awards are handed out in conjunction with the induction ceremony for the class of 2013. See page A29 for the nominee list. This year’s class includes curler Jim Cotter, volunteers Barb Warsimage and Fred Nicholson, school teacher and coach Alf Konrad and the 1992 to 1995 Kamloops midget Braves fastball club. The KSC’s motto — enriching lifestyle through sport — fits in well with the talk Reid plans to give on the weekend. Though he didn’t want to give away too much, the Richmond native said he would be talking about the life lessons and personal growth that come from playing organized sports. “On a personal level, sports

teaches you — at a young level particularly — to push yourself, to drive, to compete, to care about trying to do your best, to work with other people and to be accountable, responsible,” Reid said. “All those things that carry forth in life are so much more important than who actually wins the game or scores the goals or whatnot.” The 37-year-old announced his retirement in March, after a 13-year career in the Canadian Football League. He’s making use of those skills as he embarks on the next chapter of his life, which includes working with Global TV, radio broadcasting and writing for the Vancouver Province. He’s also starting a new dayto-day job, handling corporate

themselves and to having goals. “I think sports is such a great teacher for letting you know who you really are and what you can really do if you put your mind to it.”

Remembering Wayne Hall

Before the celebration and recognition of the sporting world’s achievements can begin this weekend, the KSC will take a moment to remember the contributions of one of its key members. Wayne Hall, former manager of the KSC, died in his home on the weekend. Hall died of natural causes. Henry Pejril, president of the KSC, told KTW that the Saturday, April 12, awards banquet will begin

accounts with Reliance Insurance. After a career focused on protecting the quarterback, Reid says he’s now looking at building relationships with clients and protecting their interests. He’s hoping the skills he has learned from a career in sports will show Kamloops athletes how they can do the same. “My big thing is, I don’t care if you like football or you don’t like football, I’ve never been one to try to push kids into any certain sport,” Reid said. “I think kids, though, should learn to commit to something at a young age, should learn to work hard for something, should learn to work together for something, which will make them accountable to not only teammates and coaches, but to

with a moment of silence for Hall. The president will also speak about the three-year manager at the ceremony. Hall, who was in his mid-50s, had been a member of the sports council since 2011. He was a key contributor to Kamloops’ sporting scene, sitting on the board of events like the Special Olympics, the 2006 B.C. Summer Games and the 2011 Western Canada Summer Games. As manager of the KSC, Hall did administrative work for events, most recently the Junior All-Native Basketball Tournament, and provided technical assistance to groups, which included bookkeeping, minute taking and record keeping. He had a wealth of knowledge and was able to advise the city’s sports groups, Pejril said. For Pejril, Hall was a close friend and sounding board. The two talked often about plans and projects for the Tournament Capital. “He was a gentle man. He was a large man, but he was like a big gentle bear,” Pejril said. “He was just a really good friend of mine. He was a confidant for me for many years. I spoke to him virtually daily.” The KSC held an emergency board meeting this week to discuss how to fill the void left by Hall. Among the projects that will need to be looked after is the 2014 Legacy Performance Games. Pejril said there will be a memorial for Hall, though the details haven’t been finalized. The service will be announced through the KSC. “He’s definitely going to be greatly missed,” Pejril said. “Quite frankly, I think he had a lot more friends out there, in the sports world, than even he knew.”

The top of the heap By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

In order to ascend in their sport of choice, siblings Robert and Alison Stewart-Patterson jumped ship to Vancouver Island. The Boulders Climbing Gym, located in Brentwood Bay, is a world-class facility, widely regarded as the best in Canada, with an 18-metre climbing wall capable of hosting world championships. It has attracted elite climbers, such as the Stewart-Pattersons, Kamloops products, and their teammate from the Czech Republic, Libor Hroza, who in training eclipsed the world record in indoor speed climbing, having darted up a 15-metre wall in 5.793 seconds. Official world records can only be set at International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC)-sanctioned events, so the current mark of 5.88 seconds, set by Russian climber

Evgeniy Vaytsekhovskiy in 2012, still stands. Alison, who attends Camosun College in Victoria, moved to the Island in 2011 and the 20-year-old has seen great improvement since joining the Boulders team. She set the Canadian record in speed climbing in February with a time of 12.28 seconds. Not to be outdone, Robert set the men’s mark at the same event, racing up the wall in 7.55 seconds. Most recently, the siblings claimed gold in speed climbing at the provincial championships, which wrapped up at Boulders on Sunday, April 6. Robert, 18, who moved to the Island about five months ago, bested his own Canadian record, reaching the top of the wall in 7.458 seconds. Alison, battling a hamstring injury, was unable to outdo her national record, finishing in 12.97 seconds. Next up for Robert

are a pair of events in China — the IFSC World Cup event in Chongqing, which runs on April 26 and April 27, and the Kia Extreme World Games, which get underway in Shanghai on April 30 and wrap up on May 3. The sport, recently ruled out of the 2020 Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo, is still finding a foothold in Canada. “We’re working on it, but I have a feeling it will be another four or five years before it becomes recognized,” said Alison, who this week wraps up a two-year sports performance program at Camosun. “It’s going to get there, but maybe not soon enough for us. “It’s more about enjoyment than anything else.”

Seeing the world is a pretty neat perk, too. Both StewartPattersons are looking forward to attending World Cup events across the globe in the coming years, setting up home base on the Island. Robert has honed in on speed climbing, while Alison is excelling in multiple disciplines, having placed second in difficulty climbing on the weekend at provincials. The speed-climbing discipline is self-explanatory — get to the top as quickly as possible. In difficulty, climbers are ranked on how high they can reach on a set route in a certain time frame. Robert and Alison spent countless hours training at Cliffside Climbing Gym in the Tournament Capital

before making the move to further pursue the sport. Their father, Iain Stewart-Patterson, a certified climbing guide, is responsible for sparking his children’s love for climbing. The Olympics might not be in the cards for Robert or Alison, but they choose not to dwell on something that is out of their control. “It doesn’t really disappoint me,” Alison said. “I’ve got a few teammates who I could see pursuing the Olympic dream. Seeing them do it would be good enough for me.”

Rockets lost in space By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Thompson Okanagan Rockets are still without a home. The female AAA hockey team has been surrounded with uncertainty in recent months, after the Kelowna Minor Hockey Association announced it wouldn’t play host to the team following the 20132014 season. One thing was certain on Wednesday, April 9, however — the team won’t be playing in Kamloops. Sean Orr, co-ordinator of communications

and events for B.C. Hockey told KTW that the Tournament Capital is no longer in the running to be the home of the Rockets. “Kamloops has withdrawn their application to host the team,” Orr said. “A decision, at this point, hasn’t been made on where the team will be based out of next year.” Orr was not able to clarify when or why the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association had withdrawn its bid and did not have information about which locations are still in the running for the team. He said an announcement of the

team’s new home should come some time next week. The KMHA was not available for comment. The Rockets are coming off an appearance in the female midget AAA championship, a series they lost to the defendingchampion Fraser Valley Phantom, 2-0. Five players on the 2013-14 Rockets roster are from Kamloops, including Squwey Gottfriedsen, Lindsey Rose, Taylor Finnie, Courtney Morice and Emma Gottfriedson. When KTW spoke with Rockets’ head coach Terry Olfert in March, the bench boss

said Vernon was the front-runner to be the team’s new home. He noted Kamloops did not make sense as a practice location, it’s not central enough for all the team’s players to make mid-week skates, but could have played host to the games. The Rockets came up short in their championship final against the Fraser Valley Phantom, losing in straight games to the back-to-back defending champions. Fraser Valley will play in the 2014 Esso Cup, in Stoney Creek, Ontario, from April 20 to 23.

Minor soccer season is here

The 2014 season marks the 50th anniversary of the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association, the city’s largest youth sports organization. The anniversary season kicks off on Saturday, April 12, the beginning of a summer that will see about 3,200 athletes playing on 227 house league teams and another 370 playing for KYSA’s 20 rep teams. The KYSA began in 1964, when four school teachers — Geoff Cook (Valleyview-Dallas), Hubie Fynn (South Shore), Brian Ryan (Brocklehurst) and Pat O’Brien (NorKamWestsyde) — created the program to help develop boys for senior secondary teams, in hopes of providing better competition for teams in the Lower Mainland.

Celebrating 25 Years

SPORTS

Healthy McGowan an early win for Jays S

IMPLY BY cracking Toronto Blue Jays’ opening day roster this year, pitcher Dustin McGowan is already in the running for the American League comeback-player-ofthe-year award. McGowan, a 32-year-old right handed pitcher with immense talent and for whom the Jays always had the highest of hopes, has been the poster boy for an injured ballplayer for much of the last five or six years. The Blue Jays have stuck with McGowan through thick (torn labrum) and thin (four shoulder surgeries), but when he took the mound April 4 in the Jays 2014 home opener against the Yankees, it was his first start since September of 2011. In fact, he has made only four starts for the Blue Jays over the past five years — none since 2011. Since his first surgery in 2008, he has pitched in only 30 games, 25 of them in relief. Most teams would have long given up on such an injuryprone player, but the Blue Jays’ brass knew McGowan could be an important piece of their pitching rotation if only he could get healthy. Now, in 2014, it appears their wait is

didn’t fare too well, giving up four runs in less than three innings. The only thing injured was his pride, which for McGowan is at least a small victory.

BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW paying off. McGowan had an excellent spring training camp, pitching in four games and allowing opposing hitters to bat .120 against him. When J.A. Happ went on the disabled list, the Jays tabbed McGowan to be the team’s fifth starter. “There’s no quit in my blood,” McGowan told MLB.com. “There were times I thought it may not happen any more but it wouldn’t be from lack of trying and that’s why I kept pushing hard.” Manager John Gibbons is hoping McGowan can stay healthy all season and help bring the Jays back to respectability. “He was one of the top up-and-coming pitchers here in this organization a few years ago,” Gibbons told The Canadian Press. “It’s pretty amazing in my mind that he’s come back this far.” McGowan’s first start was the Jays’ home opener and he

The chase for the Chynoweth rolls on Seven teams remain in the Western Hockey League playoff picture, with the conference championships beginning to take shape on the horizon. In the West, the Kelowna Rockets have already booked their chance to vie for the conference title, dispatching the Seattle Thunderbirds in four straight games. The Portland Winterhawks and the Victoria Royals play Game 5 of their best-

of-seven series tonight, April 10, with the winner advancing to face the Rockets. Portland leads 3-1. In the East, the Edmonton Oil Kings have a stranglehold on their series, leading the Brandon Wheat Kings 3-1. There’s still a lot of hockey to be played between the Medicine Hat Tigers and the Kootenay Ice in the other Eastern series, with the Ice leading 2-1 heading

into Thursday night’s Game 4. The teams are fighting for the chance to win the WHL’s Ed Chynoweth Cup,

advancing to the MasterCard Memorial Cup to face the Canadian Hockey League’s best, May 16-25, in London.

Asha to close out WCT season By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

During one production of A Brimful of Asha, Ravi Jain threw a curveball at his co-star, deviating from the script. “She just looked at me and said ‘Stop interrupting me”,” he said of the other actor in the play, his mother Asha Jain. “She can zing me good.” The play, the final production of this season for Western Canada Theatre, opens on Thursday, April 10, and continues to April 26 at Pavilion Theatre. Jain describes it as structured improvisation; there’s a plot and a script but it can go in many different ways, depending on the interaction between mother and son. Set at a kitchen table, the play is, at its heart, a conversation between a traditional mother and her Canadianized son about marriage. Mom wants to follow the Indian way and agree to an arranged marriage. Son wants to meet someone, get to know them, maybe fall in love and let nature take its course. “My mom is so honest,” Jain said, “and she has such a sense of humour. She can be relentless.” She’s also taken to acting, having never done so before her son created the play. Now, he said, she’s been pushing him to create something else for her to act in. The play fits well with the theme of Jain’s production company, Why Not Theatre?, a title that comes

from his studies in Paris at Ecole Jacques Lecoq, a physical-theatre school. At the end of the two-year program, each graduate is given a phrase around which they have to create a play. Jain’s phrase was “et pourquoi pas?” which, translated, is “and why not?” When musing over a name for this new theatre company, a friend suggested Why Not and Jain saw it as appropriate — and perhaps preordained by his graduation experience. “And it works for what I do,” he said, “constantly trying to break the limitations I have.” Mother and son worked together on the dialogue of the play and, Jain admits, his dad does come out of it a bit of “a bad guy.” Dad is fine with that, he said, as is his older brother, “who gets a real kick out of it all. He was surprised by mom in it.” Jain said he never viewed his mother as a friend but as a parent but “we could always have a level conversation.” That’s what makes the play easy to work with, even when mom throws out a zinger. “There’s an energy to it,” he said. “it just catches fire.” This is Jain’s first time working with WCT and he’s excited to be part of it and work with artistic director Daryl Cloran. “He’s amazing, he’s fantastic and I’m thrilled to be coming here,” Jain said. Tickets are at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

Art documentary being shot in Kamloops By Karla Pearce

SPECIAL TO KTW

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Are you an artist with beautiful artwork hanging around your home that no one has ever seen, or a professional artist looking for your big break? Now is the time to show your stuff and be an art star. A documentary is being shot in Kamloops covering The Emerging Artist Show at the Karla Pearce Art Gallery opening May 3. The documentary will profile 5 local artists, who they are, their artwork and what it takes to be an artist. Artists selected to be in the documentary will be chosen from the entries in the Emerging Artist Show. The documentary is directed by award-winning director Igor Kostin, who also owns True Image productions. He believes that it is his role as a filmmaker to share his creative view on how he sees the world with people everywhere. “I believe that art is in everything, everywhere and every aspect of life,” said Kostin. “Life is art; art is life. “There are some of us who

want to express ourselves with art, whether it be through music, poetry, writing, painting, photography or videography. “I believe I’m one of the few left who exposes my inner self and emotions through the lens of a camera.” The Art Documentary is being hosted Don Levasseur, a well known actor in the Kamloops community.

Levasseur has been on the board of many non-profit organizations through his life. Most recently, Levasseur was one of the co-founders and the past-president to The Laughing Stock Theatre Society of BC.

Burton Cummings to headline in Merritt Canadian classic rock legend Burton Cummings will headline the 2014 Sturgis Canada festival for its inaugural event in Merritt. The concert lineup for the Aug. 21 to 24 weekend also includes The Stampeders, Moxy and Teenage Head. Festival organizer Ray Sasseville called the lineup a “Canadian classic rock ‘n’ roll revival.” Woodstock alumni Canned Heat will play their boogieblues on the main stage, as will English-Canadian glam rocker Nick Gilder with Sweeney Todd. Singer-songwriter Jerry Doucette will play a more laidback set one afternoon during the festival. “It’s a really cool, eclectic group of bands we’ve got together,” Sturgis Canada president Joan Hansen said, adding it’s not the usual casino tour crowd. The main stage opens up at 7 p.m. and the last act is booked for 11 p.m. In addition to the main stage concerts, the beer gardens — which organizers are calling the Iron Mountain Saloon — will

host live entertainment daily on its stage. That beer garden stage will also host B.C.-based country band Me and Mae, BURTON with Kamloops CUMMINGS native Ben Parker on guitar, on the Sunday night, when organizers will announce the dates and location for a country music festival they’re planning as well. Hansen and Sasseville said they think Merritt’s location and accessibility from the Lower Mainland will benefit the festival, and are aiming to bring in between 3,500 to 7,500 people per day that weekend. “It’s like being at a club in North Van and living in Abbotsford,” Sasseville said of the commute from the Lower Mainland to the site for a concert. Also on the agenda are daily motorcycle rides, including one down to the Coast to go whale watching, and another to tour wineries. The organizers said riding a motorcycle isn’t a requirement

for enjoying the festival. “You don’t need a motorcycle to come; you can have an RV and come to enjoy four days of great music and still go on the tours,” Sasseville said. For those who don’t ride motorcycles, buses will also make the day trips. A portion of the proceeds from the rides will benefit charities, which Hansen will have a local element — although which local charities will be the recipients is to be determined. The festival will also include show and shines, rodeo games, bike games, burnout competitions at festival grounds, a cabbage patch wrestling match and a Miss Sturgis Canada pageant. The Freedom Biker Church and the Gospel Riders will host a daily mass at 8 a.m. With the entertainment lineup rounded out, organizers are looking for volunteers for everything from attending parking to working in the beer gardens. Hansen said they’re also looking for vendors for everything from food to merchandise. For more information, visit sturgiscanada.com.

Karoshi is the name of the final show in the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre’s dance series. It’s also the Japanese term to refer to death as a result of over-working.

Over-worked dance in Vernon The final show in the dance series at Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre has a decidedly Japanese overtone. Karsoshi is a mix of dance, multimedia and Taiko drumming. Shay Kuebler, the creator and lead dancer, has drawn from his background in hip-hop
