Gaglardis’ trial resumes in Kamloops By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tom Gaglardi took the witness stand to distance his father and his family’s company from legal wrongdoing in the case of 2010 renovations of a summer home in Savona that have resulted in environmental charges. Gaglardi, his father, Bob, and Northland Properties are standing trial in Kamloops provincial court on two counts each of harmful alteration of a fish habitat, allegedly the result of destruction of

riprap along the shore of Kamloops Lake. The parties are accused of altering the riprap along Kamloops Lake at the Gaglardis’ vacation property — described in court as “Tom’s Shack” — during renovations in 2010. The majority owner of the Kamloops Blazers and owner of the NHL’s Dallas Stars, Gaglardi took the stand in his own defence when the trial, which began in January, resumed on Monday, April 14. Gaglardi said his dad didn’t agree with the renovations to the fam-

ily’s property, work that began in early 2010. “His thought was, ‘Well, just for a summer place, that’s a lot of money,’” Gaglardi said. “I think that was the root of his objection. He’s a little more frugal than I am.” Gaglardi’s testimony distanced his father and Northland from any criminal wrongdoing. Under questioning from defence lawyer Rob Bruneau, Gaglardi said the company was not involved. “I don’t think that they were,” he said. X See GAGLARDI A7

Will ICBC send you a cheque?

EXPRESS YOURSELF! Jezzabel Krause, a student at Ecole Collines d’or, is deeply involved in her speech. Primary French students from Kamloops school district took part in the Kamloops Concours d’art oratoire 2014 French Speech Contest on April 10 at the Henry Grube Education Centre. The contest is organized by Canadian Parents for French-Kamloops, which is part of a national and provincial organization that can be contacted online at cpf.bc.ca.

ICBC said it accidentally over- or under-charged nearly 600,000 of its optional auto-insurance customers and will issue refunds with interest averaging $162 to those who paid too much. Most motorists aren’t affected by the glitch, which happened because incorrect descriptions were assigned years ago to some vehicles. The error was uncovered last year with ICBC’s move to a new computer system. About 1.8 per cent of optionalinsurance customers paid an average of $21 too much per year as a result and 240,000 drivers are owed cumulative refunds stretching back as far as 2008, according to ICBC. The public auto insurer is updating vehicle descriptions for past years so it can accurately recalculate historic premiums and repay improper charges for the last six years — as far back as its legacy computer system permits.

Another 350,000 customers paid less than they should have by about $34 per year on average, but ICBC won’t bill them retroactively. Affected drivers are to be notified and receive refund cheques by July. ICBC expects to pay out $36 million in refunds plus interest of $3 million. It estimates it lost $71 million in underpayments since 2008. The faulty vehicle descriptions affect only optional insurance, not basic rates. ICBC’s board is also appointing an outside auditor to review the error. The error isn’t expected to happen again because ICBC’s modernized system will pull the correct description from the vehicle identification numbers, instead of being entered manually by Autoplan agents. Go online to checkmyvehicle.icbc. com to see if your vehicle is among those involved.

Kamloops now Conservative HQ after Brooks’ win By Cam Fortems

energy, youth — he’s 38, making him the youngest of the four political-party leaders in B.C. — and administrative ability that helped him secure the victory. The party hoped for a breakthrough in last year’s May election under former federal MP John Cummins, but it failed to pick up any seats and secured less than five per cent of the popular vote. It has also been wracked by dissension among members. While Brooks acknowledged he doesn’t have Cummins’ profile, he said he wants to rebuild the roots of the party. “I’ve offered . . . an administrative competence lacking in the party and professional organization: candidates, platforms and a database — the administrative nuts and bolts of how to run a party.”

A hunting-lodge owner who moved to Kamloops to launch his leadership campaign is the B.C. Conservative party’s new leader. Dan Brooks picked up 62 per cent of the weighted vote in a mail-in ballot at the party’s convention in Richmond to defeat Rick Peterson. More than 1,100 members cast a vote. Brooks moved to Kamloops from his home near Vanderhoof and pledged to maintain the city as the party’s headquarters. “We’ve moved the head office to Kamloops,” Brooks told KTW. “I campaigned on that platform. The head office is now in Kamloops.” Brooks said he believes it’s his

That database is already in place, he said. Next steps for the party include conducting a policy review before its annual general meeting in fall. Brooks said he wants to ensure 85 candidates are nominated in the next two years. He also wants to restore fiscal responsibility to the province and end the B.C.

Sentencing delayed in Lytton manslaughter case By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The man who was convicted last month in a cold-case Lytton slaying dating back nearly 15 years will have to wait at least a few more weeks to find out how long he’ll spend behind bars. On March 12, a jury found Rob Smith, 46, guilty on one count each of manslaughter and interfering with a dead body, both charges stemming from the December 1999 death of Sandy Charlie in Lytton. Charlie was 48 when he went missing from Lytton in December 1999. Smith was suspected in his disappearance as

early as 2007 but, court heard, police did not have enough evidence to make an arrest. That changed on Sept. 12, 2011, when an excavator doing work on Crown land near Lytton accidentally unearthed Charlie’s remains. Months later, RCMP launched an undercover Mr. Big sting targeting Smith. That four-month operation culminated in a videotaped confession in August 2012. Smith was arrested a few days after confessing and has been in custody since. During Smith’s trial, the jury watched the videotaped confession of Smith describing the night of Charlie’s death to an undercover Mountie posing as the leader of a criminal organization.

“I ended up killing somebody and I just dug a hole and put him in it,” Smith said in the video, which was filmed at an RCMP covert warehouse in the Lower Mainland on Aug. 10, 2012. In the video, Smith said he beat Charlie into unconsciousness two times in a matter of minutes, upset with him for co-operating with police on a domestic-assault allegation for which Smith was arrested in April 1999. Smith told the jury he knocked out Charlie but did not kill him. He said Charlie left under his own power after being punched. Smith was supposed to be sentenced on Monday, April 14, but his pre-sentence report has not been completed. He’s due back in court on May 5 to set a date for sentencing.

Mounties probing Tranquille Road robbery Kamloops Mounties are looking for a man who robbed a North Shore adult store on Sunday, April 13. RCMP Cpl. Allison Good said police received a report of a robbery at Adultz, 2533 Tranquille Rd., just before 9:45 p.m. Good said the suspect entered

the store just before closing and demanded money from the clerk. The bandit is described as a white man wearing a white winter jacket zipped up to his nose, with the hood pulled over his head. He was wearing blue jeans and showed the clerk a box cutter. The clerk told police the suspect

ran northbound on Tranquille. A police-dog unit was unable to track the robber. The holdup took place in the same North Kamloops area as two other robberies a few months ago. The Mac’s convenience store at 205 Tranquille Rd. was robbed twice in December.

Just after 3 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 29, a man, armed with a knife, fled the scene after making off with a small amount of cash. He is described as a white man between 20 and 25 with dark hair and a lazy left eye. On Friday, Dec. 20, a white woman in her late 30s pulled a

knife and took cash from the register. She was wearing a red jacket with a hood and grey sweatpants or snow pants. Anyone with information on any of these robberies is asked to call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

University vacancies remain unfilled By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

According to its dean, the school of social work at Thompson Rivers University would like to fill vacancies it has in its department but, so far, no one has responded favourably to its job postings. One person was interested last fall, said interim dean Pat Neufeld, but taking a job at Thompson Rivers University would have meant taking a salary cut. Neufeld spoke with KTW after recent public statements by the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faculty association (TRUFA) and social-work assistant professor Michael Crawford. At a members meeting on March 31, TRUFA presented a lengthy document in response to the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own new strategic-planning process.

Among the issues raised in it was replacement of tenure-track faculty, with the school of social work and human services identified as one where faculty has decreased since 2010. It said seven of 16 tenured staff left without being replaced and another three, including Crawford, are beginning phasedretirement reduced workloads and have yet to be replaced. The universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phased-retirement program requires sessionals be hired to take on the courses not being taught by those who have a reduced workload. The report said â&#x20AC;&#x153;only one tenure-track posting has been approved by senior administration and advertised on the TRU website.â&#x20AC;? At the time, there was one posting along with two for sessional staff and two additional postings were making their way

through approval, said Neufeld. A second tenure-track opening was posted on April 8 and a third is expected to be posted soon. The TRUFA collective agreement requires all tenure-track vacancies to be posted for 10 working days and to be advertised nationally. Neufeld said the institution has been trying to hire faculty for the school for about 18 months, but he noted â&#x20AC;&#x153;people are shopping.â&#x20AC;? For example, the University of Toronto has had five postings open since late in 2012 for its social-work department. Potential professors are looking at a variety of factors beyond salary and location when making job decisions, Neufeld said, including their emerging trends, their research interests and the type of leadership at an institution.

TRU,TIB partner on Bonaparte Lake project By Cam Fortems

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to educate our people about our way of living on natural resources from the land,â&#x20AC;? Gottfriedson said, calling it â&#x20AC;&#x153;early stage.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an interest in forestry and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at another educational opportunity.â&#x20AC;? TRUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dean of science, Tom Dickinson, said the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest and involvement is similar to its scientific studies and educational facility outside Wells Gray Park. Researchers have already conducted waterrelated studies on the Bonaparte Plateau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similar to what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing at Wells Gray, but at a completely different elevation,â&#x20AC;? Dickinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a high-elevation place with unique aspects.â&#x20AC;? There are no facilities at Mayson Lake, which is about three kilometres long and undeveloped. The plan would see the addition of a network of trails, a boat launch, cabins and an educational training building. Dickinson and Gottfriedson cautioned plans are in a preliminary stage.

Thompson Rivers University and the Tkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;emlups Indian Band have entered into an agreement to establish facilities at a high-elevation area east of Bonaparte Lake. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forestry-development corporation has applied to the province for a Crown grant to establish what it calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;cross-cultural education and training in natural resource management in an outdoor location.â&#x20AC;? The lake is located about 80 kilometres north of Kamloops. The camp facility would be used by First Nations youth, as well as for study of fire suppression, First Nations subsistence living and scientific subjects. Tkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;emlups Indian Band Chief Shane Gottfriedson said education of the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young people is a priority, particularly in cultural heritage.

Heartbleed bug targets 900 social-insurance numbers affected taxpayers and will not be emailing them because it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want fraudsters to use phishing schemes to further exploit the privacy breach. Other personal data and possibly businessesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; information may also have been lost.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) said the social-insurance numbers of 900 taxpayers were stolen last week by someone using the Heartbleed encryption vulnerability before the taxation agency shut down public access to its online services. It happened over a six-hour period by someone exploiting the vulnerability in many supposedly secure websites that used an open-source encryption system. The CRA said it will send registered letters to

Notice To Electors Of Alternative Approval Process Property Purchase For Downtown Parking This notice is to advise electors in the City of Kamloops of the intention to adopt the "Property Purchase for Downtown Parking Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 14-1-173". The purpose of the bylaw is to borrow an amount not to exceed $4,800,000 to finance the cost to purchase property at 393 Seymour Street and 368 4th Avenue to be utilized for parking in downtown Kamloops, that will be repaid over a period not to exceed 30 years. It is estimated that the borrowing will not result in a tax increase for the average residential property, and borrowing costs will be paid from the new parking stall rentals and downtown parking meter revenue.

RUNNING COMMENTARY with Jo Berry

Come celebrate life and Boogie Twelve more sleeps until Boogie! It’s exciting and the buzz is getting louder. We are grateful every day to be part of community health and making a difference. Not a runner? Don’t sweat it! Come down for a hit of joy and live life to the fullest. You can walk. You can run. You can volunteer. Everyone can Boogie and you can register right up until the day before. Week 6 of training is inner training. I have no desire to be the richest person in the graveyard. To me, a life well-lived is about being surrounded by people I love, staying healthy and happy, stepping out of my comfort zone, doing work I love and giving back to the city I love. How do we live a healthy and vibrant life? How do we stay focused on the important things amidst daily pressures? One solution is to die daily. Our Boogie team always teases me for being a bit on the dreary side for always reminding myself that one day we will all be gone. I think death the single best invention of life. If it was your last day, you would give yourself over to life. You would open your heart a little wider, speak your truth and shine brighter. You would love more fully, be kinder, gentler and probably be more fun, too. So, what does this have to do with Boogie? Well, everything, really. Boogie training is based on the physical side of movement, but also the emotional and mental side. Standing with 2,500 other people on Boogie day gives you the opportunity to truly connect. We are all the same. We are all alive. And, we will all die. Boogie is about celebrating this beautiful thing called life.

Training Talk DAVE EAGLES Two weeks ago, we started RunClub at Red Beard. Jo Berry said we should support them after our run — buy a coffee, snack or something. This past week, we met at the Nissan dealership and I told my wife, Carolyn, “I hope they don’t expect us to stay after our run to buy a new car.” Instead, we went home with a complimentary bottle of water and a banana — a new car will have to wait. This week we did eight rotations of three minutes walking, three minutes running and sprinting for the last 30 seconds. I decided not to add the sprinting component and settled into a nice pace of walking and running. Our run took us along Valleyview Drive, into Orchard’s Walk and back to the dealership with plenty of pickups along the way. To be honest, running on sidewalks is not my first choice when it comes to running surfaces. Tonight’s run will begin at Pioneer Park, back onto the long flat surface of the River’s Trail — more to my liking. And, with just two weeks until CFJCTV7 Boogie the Bridge, I see many other runners getting excited about their progress. My own recovery time is getting better, and that’s encouraging.

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

SUSAN EDGELL I’ve had lots of talk lately with my colleagues about fighting the mental negatives when it comes to running. For all the high highs there can be plenty of low lows — and fighting them and winning can be tedious. My lows come somewhere early-tomid run when I am running alone, energy is low, the weather’s not great and I’m feeling doubtful about even finishing the set. How do you pull it together? Sometimes, putting one foot in front of the other is all I can do. Then, I remember why I’m out there. It’s just for me — a race only against myself with no one judging. And, if I stop and walk a bit, a bolt of lightning won’t strike me down on the spot. I crank the music — find a favorite tune — and slow my pace. I’ll even start singing. Fighting and beating those tough moments is not easy, but overcoming them builds character in all of us and makes us better. It’s also easier knowing a huge celebration is coming our way in just 12 days. Let’s continue the discussion online on Twitter with the hashtags #cfjcboogiethebridge, #gethappy and #laceup.

NICK CARTER Sunday’s training was at Riverside Park, and it was so nice to be running in the sunshine. We did intervals of four minutes running and two minutes walking, which was quite a progression from the beginning of training when we ran only one minute intervals. It reminds me of taking a first swimming lesson as a child — you are anxious and apprehensive but, after the instructor finally coaxes you to put your head underwater, you progress remarkably. That is what running is like. First are the baby steps and then you get better and better. I am, by no means, a marathon runner and continue to be the last person in the group, but I’m told that I am doing well with a strong and steady pace. Jo Berry and the Run Club coaches make sure it isn’t competive and that everyone is treated equal no matter your athletic ability. Jo Berry’s motto is “movement is change.” At my last training session, the big change I noticed was that I wasn’t waiting and hoping for the running interval to end. Now, if I can only bring about another change and lose weight. While 1,900 are signed up for the CFJC-TV Boogie The Bridge, there is still room for you, whether you want to run or walk.

COVER PAGE STORY

Gaglardi said company not involved in work X From A1

“Ultimately, Northland wasn’t paying the bills, they didn’t own the property,” Gaglardi said. “We would rely on our [Northland’s] construction apparatus to oversee it, but I don’t know how Northland itself, as a corporation, is involved.” Earlier in the day, court heard from a Salmon Arm boat dealer who offered to help Gaglardi have a dock built, but denied having anything to do with altering riprap. Alan Novakowski said he became involved with Gaglardi after receiving a call from Kamloops Blazers’ general manager Craig Bonner. “Mr. Bonner phoned me and told me Tom [Gaglardi] needed to buy two Seadoos and if I could help him,” Novakowski said. “So, I said, ‘Yes I could’ and that’s the first time I talked to Tom. After he had the Seadoos, we chatted a few times about hockey and so on and then he asked if I knew anyone who could build docks.” Novakowski said he told Gaglardi he would help find someone to build a dock at the Savona property and that he visited the property twice in April 2010 to get a lay of the land. That’s when Novakowski said he met Jim Parks, who was working on the renovation of Tom’s Shack. Parks earlier testi-

fied he was ordered to destroy documents and throw his computer hard drive “in the lake” when federal investigators began looking into alleged improprieties on the property. Parks said Novakowski spoke about the riprap (large chunks of rock on the shore of a body of water), but Novakowski told court he only spoke to the contractor for about a minute and about nothing of consequence. He said Parks showed him a boat ramp that had been constructed, but that he remembered thinking a boat ramp wasn’t needed because of a nearby boat ramp. “They didn’t need one,” Novakowski said. “They didn’t need to put a ramp in.” During Crown prosecutor Digby Kier’s cross-examination of Novakowski, Gaglardi turned to the gallery and muttered, “Can you believe this guy?” He also had to be told repeatedly by sheriffs to turn off his iPhone, which, at one point, he was concealing inside his notebook. Gaglardi wrote in his notebook throughout Novakowski’s testimony, alternating between notes on the trial, Northland business and what appeared to be line combinations for the Dallas Stars as the club prepares to open the NHL playoffs tomorrow (April 16) in Anaheim. Kier pressed Novakowski on his involvement in the offence. “Was there any

instructions from Tom about riprap?” Kier asked. “No,” Novakowski replied. “He did instruct you about the permit, though, Tom did?” Kier then asked. “No permit was required,” Novakowski responded. “Did you have a conversation with Jim Parks about riprap?” Kier asked. “No,” Novakowski

replied to the prosecutor. Kier said a missing section of riprap on the Gaglardi property shows a boat ramp was constructed in 2010. Court has previously heard the shore of Kamloops Lake is a breeding ground for marine life and alteration of riprap can affect fish living in the lake. In court in January, defence lawyer Bruneau admitted Tom Gaglardi

and Northland Properties are likely guilty, but said Bob Gaglardi did nothing wrong. Northland Properties is the company behind the soon-to-open Sandman Signature development on Lorne Street in downtown Kamloops. The trial is not expected to conclude this week. It’s not known when a date for its continuation will be set.

Tom Gaglardi (left), his father, Bob, and Northland Properties are standing trial in Kamloops provincial court on two counts each of harmful alteration of a fish habitat. The charges stem from work allegedly undertaken at the Gaglardi family’s property on Kamloops Lake in Savona. KTW file photo

Why 7 is great, 8 can grate and digits make us delirious

OR AS LONG AS I CAN remember, I have hated 8. The genesis of my abhorrence of the digit is unclear to me, but its single-syllable utterance mimicking that of a stuffed patron at an all-you-can-eat buffet — ate (eight) — seems to pair perfectly with the fat, round figure that constitutes 8. It does not have the sharp elegance of 5, nor the dashing contours of 7. While 8 is bloated and stands out like an overfed ogre amid a sleek lineup of the decade of numbers we use, its peers are stylish (4), economical (1), bold (2) or perfect (10). I have always detested 8, so much so that I cannot incorporate the oafish numeral in any aspect of my life. If I am crossing the street, I count my steps to ensure I do not arrive on the sidewalk at the count of 8. I will take an extra-long stride and risk a groin strain to reach my destination in 7 or take a few Sammy Davis Jr. stutter-steps to guarantee a 9- or 10-step journey. The volume on my car radio cannot be on 8. If I glance at a digital clock and see an 8 in the time, I cannot look at the clock again until the 8 has disappeared. And, of course, there can be no jerseys in my closet bearing the infernal number. True, we all have our favourite numbers and those we do not like, but I assume the steps I take to avoid 8 are probably outside the norm. I realize they constitute a bit of superstition and a lot more of a possible OCD affliction. (On that note, the music volume in my car must always rest on an odd number, preferably 13, and never, ever on an even number. Why? God — and my psychiatrist — only know). My rocky relationship with 8 would leave me at my wit’s end if I was to move to east Asia, where the

number is considered extremely lucky. This is because it sounds like the word for prosperity. Consider the address for B.C.’s grandest casino — the River Rock in Richmond, a city with a very large Chinese population. The River Rock is located at 8811 and 8888 River Rd. The casino has precisely eight phone numbers and each one includes at least one 8. Conversely, 4 is considered unlucky for speakers of many east Asian languages because the word for 4 sounds like the word for death. In English, however, 4 can only be synonymous with greatness — Bobby Orr, Lou Gehrig, Brett Favre. While 8 will always grate, I am possibly unlike many in that I do not have a favourite number. Oh, I like 5 and 16 and 13, but there is no single favourite around which I can base various trivial aspects of my life. Not so for a lot of people the world over, as Guardian newspaper writer Alex Bellos discovered recently when he conducted a large online survey, asking readers to submit their favourite number and give reasons why. As Bellos explains in a fascinating article (which can be read online at tinyurl.com/ouulq2n), 7 is far and away

the favourite of the masses, with almost 4,000 of the 44,000 respondents citing the number deemed lucky in Western culture. Maybe it has to do with gambling on the craps table. Maybe it has a connection to the days of the week, the number of deadly sins, the day on which God rested after creating the universe, the number of mythical seas. Whatever the reason — 7 is heaven to a lot of people. Bellos also cites a study out of the University of Amsterdam in which subjects ranked numbers between 1 and 100 on a scale of good and bad. The even numbers were generally considered “good” and the odd numbers generally deemed “bad.” I guess my car radio volume — the 11, 13, 15 and 19 — is bad. Then again, my kids often say the same about my music selection, focused as it is on oldtime country and western. Bellos writes about another university study involving digits between 1 and 100 that found participants liking even numbers and numerals ending in 5 more than odd numbers. There’s a reason “even-Steven” is a positive phrase and “oddball” notoriously negative. Bellos sums up his interesting integer journey thusly: “I would argue that having any sort of belief about numbers encourages a playfulness and an intimacy with them, which ultimately makes you less scared of mathematics and better at sums. It pays to have a favourite number.” It also pains to have a least-favourite number. With apologies to Dick Van Patten, enough of 8. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com twitter.com/ChrisJFoulds

If Ajax will be good for city, let others know Richard Boyce repeated a few points during his weekend speech against the proposed Ajax mine: • Despite being president of the United Steelworkers union at Highland Valley Copper, he was not speaking on behalf of the union or its members. • As a mining veteran of more than four decades, he supports mining, but does not support the location of Ajax. • There is nothing wrong with supporting the Ajax proposal. Supporters of Ajax, in particular those very vocal and very anonymous supporters who frequent the comments section at kamloopsthisweek.com, should pay attention to that last point raised by Boyce during his presentation at Interior Savings Centre. The groups sponsoring Boyce’s talk paid money to rent a room at ISC so Boyce could tell about 300 people why he feels an open-pit copper and gold mine should not be approved south of Aberdeen. Boyce noted those in favour of Ajax have the same opportunity — they can rent a room and tell the public why they believe the mine would be good for Kamloops. There have been five presentations opposing Ajax. There have been a few open houses hosted by Ajax proponent KGHM. Perhaps now is the time for residents who support the mine to arrange a presentation and tell their fellow residents why they, too, should back Ajax. Boyce’s take on Ajax came from a perspective defined by his life in mining and aided by his research. There are others in Kamloops with differing views, opinions also shaped by lives in mining. Rather than continuing with a stream of negative volleys online, perhaps those who truly believe in a Kamloops with Ajax will adopt Boyce’s suggestion and host a meeting where the community can hear why the mine will be beneficial to the Tournament Capital. Information is always good — all information. Kamloops has heard plenty from those who don’t think Ajax should be approved; let’s hear from those who hold an opposite viewpoint.

Re: Story: Kamloops to become Conservative HQ after Brooks’ leadership win:

“I don’t see what everybody is so worried about as the B.C. Conservatives are about as relevant as the PQ is in Quebec. “The Green party gets more votes then these wannabes.” — posted by Pothead

Re: Story: Union president on Ajax: It’s simply not the right location:

“I was happy to learn Arjun Singh, Nelly Dever, Tina Lange and Donovan Cavers were all in attendance yesterday. “I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for attending and trying to learn more about this issue from all sources. “I hope you will make your thoughts known before the next election (in my opinion, it is OK to change your mind if new, compelling information is revealed). “This is the biggest issue facing Kamloops, in my opinion. “I really want to be able to vote for people who will question the company and the review process and commit to protecting our citizens.” — posted by Karen

Jim Smith was a familiar sight outside the WorkSafe BC office earlier this year, a vigil he credits with a pending resolution to his complaint. KTW file photo

Editor: My recent protest outside the WorkSafe BC office in downtown Kamloops seems to have been effective. I thank all those fine people who offered support by stopping to speak or by honking as they drove by. WorkSafe BC is now attempting humane treatment of my case, though this new approach seems to induce growing pains. I was injured at work and am unable to return to my previous jobs as printer, dump-truck driver or heavy-duty mechanic. I now work sporadically for much less pay. WorkSafe BC now admits that, more than 10 years ago, I should have received a loss-of-earnings calculation. All is promised to be rectified soon. Whether this injured worker will now receive fair and proper treatment after 15 years of injury is yet to be determined. The mistakes made in my file are so numerous that a full newspaper page would be required to list them. The greatest mistake of WorkSafe BC may be yet to come for, if all is not corrected soon, I will return until I collapse on its doorstep. Stay tuned. Again, thank you, Kamloops. Jim Smith Likely, B.C.

We should be welcoming doctors with open arms Editor: I live in Logan Lake and know firsthand what it’s like to not see a doctor in a timely fashion — or not see one at all. I am so angry after reading the recent article on the fact Logan Lake has no doctor, yet two Central American doc-

tors wishing to come here are not being allowed to by the provincial government. There has to be something wrong with someone’s thinking at the Interior Health Authority. We want someone to step in and ensure somebody is in place, someone who will

make proper decisions on our behalf. When we find doctors willing to work in a small town like Logan Lake, we should be eternally grateful. We should not be telling them to go elsewhere. Ken and Aurelia Rostie Logan Lake

Daily News site would make ideal health centre Editor: Coun. Nelly Dever’s opposition to having the city rush in and buy the former Kamloops Daily News site will attract my vote for her in the Nov. 15 civic election. How about using the property for a health centre/drop-in clinic? Our awesome transit buses stop near Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue. Instead of putting more cement in the downtown core, let’s add two or three more storeys to the two parking lots located on Seymour and Lansdowne streets.

In Europe, they have buildings hundreds of years old still functioning well. In Canada, we tear down good, older buildings and replace them with new ones, some of which are problematic (leaky condos in Vancouver; mall collapse in Ontario). I have noticed many empty parking spots where the new meters have been installed, and folks parking where the old meters are and walking, instead of driving, to their destinations.

WestJet to fly to Edmonton 2010 service between Kamloops and Alberta capital lasted only two months By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

WestJet Encore service between Kamloops and Edmonton is officially set to being on Feb. 15, 2015, but Kamloops Airport manager Fred Legace said he’s hoping between now and then the airline will consider a slight tweak to the start date. “It would be nice to have a couple of days earlier to take advantage of the Alberta Family Day, because they all come here. People from Edmonton like Kamloops and they all come here,” Legace said. The service expansion, announced on Friday, April 11, will see one flight a day between the Tournament Capital and the City of Champions. The Edmonton flight will depart at 2:45 p.m., landing in Kamloops at 3:15 p.m. A flight back to Edmonton leaves at 3:45 p.m., arriving at 6:01 p.m. Legace made a trip to WestJet’s Calgary headquarters earlier this year to pitch the idea of Edmonton service. While the airline was intrigued, Legace said

there was no room in the schedule at the time. “They were a little bit surprised at the numbers and saw an opportunity then, but we could not capitalize,” he said. “With not enough airplanes, not enough crews, it was not the time.” But, as the company has begun to take on more planes and crews as part of an expansion in Eastern Canada, it freed up some extra plane time for Kamloops. While the airline recently pulled its Vancouver service out of the airport, Legace said Edmonton is a very different market. “With the Edmonton market, they have a chance to be the sole provider, so the oncedaily flight is good,” he said. “If you’re going into Vancouver, you need to provide a longer range of schedule.” WestJet tried a Kamloops-Edmonton connection in 2010, but cancelled the route soon after flights began. The three-day-aweek seasonal route to Edmonton began on May 2, 2010, but, after only a few days, the airline decided to cut

back service to just two days — Thursday and Sunday. The final flight to the City of Champions took off on July 4, 2010, with WestJet saying at the time it was not economically viable to run the service. Sun Peaks Mayor Al Raine said the new flights to and from Edmonton are a tourism bonus for his community. While the Calgary market is difficult for a community as far west as Sun Peaks or Kamloops to break into because of the wealth of skiing near the southern Alberta city, Raine said Edmontonians don’t have the same kind of choices in driving distance. “Edmonton skiers are five hours from the nearest ski hill,” he said. “So, for them, getting in an airplane and flying for an hour makes a lot of sense. I think there’s good opportunities in the Edmonton market.” Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar said he welcomes the new service as well, calling it another step forward

for the city. “If you think back to what this airport was like even five years ago to what it’s like today, these incremental steps add up,” he said. With a service commitment in place, Legace said the next step is for the airport to work with WestJest on the start date and marketing for the service, in addition to working with tourism organizations in Sun Peaks and Kamloops.

Airport sends millions into government coffers

Kamloops Airport contributed more than $38 million to the country’s gross domestic product, according to a new economic impact study released on Friday, April 11. According to the study, activities at the airport put $8 million into municipal-, provincial- and federal-government coffers. The airport also generated $27 million in wages in 2013 via 610 direct and indirect jobs. Visitors arriving by air are estimated to have created 250 jobs in the accommodation and food-services industry in the region.

President of union at Highland Valley Copper By Christopher Foulds KTW EDITOR

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

With more than 40 years of experience in the mining industry, Richard Boyce said he knows how important it is to the fabric of life — from cellphones to vehicles to virtually every other item in your home. However, that deep connection to exploiting the Earth’s resources for our benefit does not mean Boyce, president of United Steelworkers’ Union 7619 at Highland Valley Copper (HVC) stands as a blanket supporter to all mining everywhere. “Although I am in favour of mining — not this mine,” Boyce said of the proposed KGHM Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen, adding he speaks for himself and not for the union or its members.

“It’s too close to town. It’s too close to where I live. It’s too close to where my family lives. It’s too close to where my friends live.” Boyce was speaking on Sunday, April 13, to a partisan crowd of about 300 at Interior Savings Centre, most of whom remain opposed to the proposed Ajax mine. Noting he has been the target of some Ajax supporters for the perception created by a mining union president opposed to a proposed mine, Boyce acknowledged he has gone from Ajax supporter to Ajax opponent based on research and conversations with Kamloops residents and those in the mining industry. One call in particular has compelled Boyce to speak out on what he believes, even at the risk of being called a “flipper” or a “flopper”

on Ajax, he said. A HVC union member’s wife who lives in Aberdeen had repeatedly questioned Boyce on the possible adverse effects Ajax could have on her neighbourhood and her children’s school. Would Boyce send his kids to school in the shadow of Ajax? “The answer was, ‘No,’” Boyce said. “This is difficult for me to do.” He noted he has had Highland Valley Copper workers applaud him for his stance, while others at the big mine near Logan Lake want Ajax to be approved. “And nobody should feel bad about that,” Boyce said. “There’s nothing wrong with that.” What Boyce wants to do, he said, is what supporters of Ajax can also do — rent space and give a similar

presentation on the benefits of the proposed mine. His main concern revolves around the science — or lack thereof. “Science is what you have when mines start up,” he said, noting his concern lies with what happens after production begins. The people talking up Ajax today are not the people who will be running the day-to-day operations if and when the mine is approved, Boyce said. Once the mine opens, he said, it is not about science, but about building the biggest hole possible, extracting the most ore possible out of the rock, doing it as fast as possible and making as much money as possible for the owner. With Ajax at the moment, he said, one cannot tabulate heavy equipment

operating and there can be no measurement of the effects of water use, diesel use, mine activity on aquatic life in Jacko Lake or dust on residents or animals. “There’s no way of telling what will take place once the mine is running,” Boyce said. “The only way to know that is to let the mine get up and running and start to measure. The science of the unknown scares me more than the science of the known.” Boyce referred to the use of water trucks at the Highland Valley Copper operation, noting there are seven 160-litre-tank trucks, two 100,000litre tank-trucks and two smaller water trucks — all to control the immense amount of dust created at the mine. Will Ajax invest similarly in an

says Ajax project is too close to Kamloops operation that, while not as large as HVC, will be six times the size of the Afton mine that previously operated behind Aberdeen? Boyce is skeptical. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not a lot of mines starting up with have that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no money in running water trucks around.â&#x20AC;? According to KGHMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s figures, the Ajax operation will see 90,000 tonnes of waste rock go to waste piles and 59,000 tonnes of tailing go to piles every day. Over the projected 23-year life span of the mine, Boyce said, that equates to a half-billion tonnes of waste at the site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to stop the dust from coming.

Award recipient: People are not disposable By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

AY JOLICOEUR has always seen himself in those he helps. Growing up in Windsor, Ont., the stage was set for him to make the wrong choices. He didn’t attend much school in his teenaged years, opting instead to make trips to nearby Detroit, couch-surf with friends, experiment with drugs and make what he calls “bad decisions.” Jolicoeur was lucky. He got out of that scene, saved in part by his middle-class family and his own commitment to doing more with his life. But, he calls himself a bubble kid — everything was that close to being different. “From probably 14 to 17, I can’t tell you a whole lot about what was happening in my life at that time,” Jolicoeur said after receiving a Distinguished Service Award from the City of Kamloops. Jolicoeur was one of eight Kamloops residents to receive one of the city’s highest honours on Thursday, April 10, in recognition of his

work battling homelessness and the city’s drug and sex trade — helping marginalized populations in Kamloops. “I guess what I realized when I started learning about who we were trying to help, it reminded me that I was one of them. I made a different choice, but I could have been one of them,” he said. Jolicoeur’s journey to the award began in 1999, when an ad in the paper, along with a little encouragement from a friend, led him to a seat on the Kamloops social planning council, whose goal was “to make Kamloops the most inclusive community possible.” Jolicoeur said his position with the council was life-changing. It allowed him to find his passion for community and social service, branching off into a host of roles, including positions with the homelessness action plan, the sustaining community partnerships committee, the Kamloops community action team and the North Shore community committee. He has never considered himself able to provide the help a social worker might as his

People now come to him to ask how they can help. “Amazing, it’s absolutely amazing,” he said. “Because, unless you’re connected to it, from the beginning, you don’t know,” Jolicoeur said. “You go from, ‘Get those bums off the street or off my doorway or out of my alley,’ to a community that now totally understands and has been educated.” That education is what Jolicoeur is proud of having a hand in developing. He used his connections as a KTW’s Ray Jolicoeur is one of eight recipients of the 2014 City of Kamloops Distinguished sales representative at Docket: 23302 115 Thorncliffe Park Drive Service Awards.

Jolicoeur is hoping he has left a legacy that will motivate the next generation to follow in his footsteps, taking a moment to think about what they can do to help others, rather than dismissing society’s problems. “You end up learning people are disposable,” he said. “We live in such a disposable society that even our friends and family have become disposable because we are so busy. “My message is we can’t do that any more. People are not disposable. They’re different. “They may be totally opposite from us, but they still deserve our respect as an individual, whoever they are.”

Trial date set in party death Former Christian hostel for sale A trial date has been set for the Kamloops man charged in the tragic death of a Thompson Rivers University student almost two years ago. Jury selection for Sean Tomlin’s B.C. Supreme Court trial on one count each of impaired driving causing death, dangerous driving causing death and causing an accident resulting in death has been slated for Jan. 5, 2015, with a three-week trial to begin on Jan. 12, 2015. The 26-year-old — along with 25-year-old Ben Kirkey — was among a group of friends celebrating a stag when Kirkey was accidentally hit by a shotgun blast during skeet shooting. It is alleged Tomlin was attempting to rush Kirkey to safety when he wrecked his Dodge pickup truck near the intersection of Robbins Range Road and Campbell Creek Road in Barnhartvale. A witness happened upon the scene and found both men ejected from the rolled pickup. Kirkey died later in hospital. Police allege Tomlin was driving at a high rate of speed on forestry roads in an attempt to meet an ambulance en route

to Scuitto Lake. Kirkey was a TRU business student who was a few weeks short of graduation at the time of his death.

Winter trial for man charged in connection to home invasion

THE COURTS February will have to wait until December to get his day in court. Zane Matthew Kahpeaysewat, 29, is facing one count of aggravated assault. He was arrested after a man suffered near-fatal injuries at a downtown Kamloops house party on Feb. 26. Witnesses told police Kahpeaysewat started “going crazy” after fellow party-goers made fun of a bandana he was wearing, court heard at a bail hearing last month. Kahpeaysewat, who has a lengthy criminal history, including more than 60 convictions in B.C. and Saskatchewan, was denied bail

A Kamloops man accused of pulling a fake gun during a failed home invasion last year will stand trial in December. Blake Bernhard is facing charges of break and enter, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and breach of probation following an incident on Dec. 20, in which he’s alleged to have attempted to break into a house in the 700-block of Columbia Street. The 28-year-old is accused of smashing two windows at the home in an attempt to break in. Police said he pulled an imitation handgun on one of the home’s residents when he was confronted. Police found him a short time later in the back of a nearby taxi. Bernhard’s three-day trial in B.C. Supreme Court is scheduled to begin on Dec. 15.

The Kamloops branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) is selling the former Christian hostel building on West Victoria Street, However, said CMHA executive director Doug Sage, it wasn’t a decision taken lightly. The agency took over the former downtown federal building from the society that ran it as a hostel for years. The CMHA paid $1 for it and continued to use it to provide overnight shelter. However, when the CMHA’s Emerald Centre on the same block of West Victoria Street was approved by the city to become a shelter, the agency was told it had to agree to rezoning the hostel building to no longer be used to provide beds for the homeless. Sage said he has tried to find a program that would operate out of the building, but has been unsuccessful. It’s an old building that has cost a lot to heat and electricity, he said, and the three parking spots with it can only be accessed by driving through the

parking lot of neighbouring New Life Mission. As a result of the city’s new watermeter system, the agency has also been charged a $1,000-per-quarter surcharge for irrigation. “And we don’t have any land to water,” Sage said. Within a week of taking over the building, city inspectors arrived with a list of repairs ordered that cost the agency about $50,000, Sage said. He has spoken with members of the society that owned it before, asking if they had any ideas on what could be done with it. Although it is not officially recognized as a heritage building, it has historical significance in the city and the city’s heritage commission is scheduled to tour it this week. The commission discussed the building’s future at its November meeting and asked Barb Berger, the city’s manager or arts and culture, to discuss the building’s future with Sage. The commission also discussed the city taking ownership of it and going through the process to have it designated a heritage property. The property is listed with River City Realty for $349,900.

TEACHING by not TEACHING By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

T ISN’T OFTEN A GUEST SPEAKER TELLS THE CLASSROOM he is visiting that he’s not there to teach them anything. It’s even less likely to happen when the visitor is a longtime scientist and researcher — unless, of course, it’s Don Bouffard. The retired scientist and longtime volunteer with Science World started a recent presentation to Grade 9 students at Brock middle school with that simple statement. “I’m not here to teach you anything, but to show you why you should be taught, to show you why you should listen to this lady,” he said, indicating teacher Tracey Epp. From there, it was a trip into the world of Bouffard, one that saw the students given a chance to learn about some of the most amazing rocks and minerals in his collection. “When was the last time you touched a shooting star?” he asked them, handing around pieces of kamacite. “Something that has travelled 360-million clicks to get here?” He showed the students crystals from outer space. How rare are they on Earth? “There are only three of them,” he said. “One is at the Royal Tyrrell Museum and one of them is mine.” Bouffard let the kids see a 5.9-million-year-old piece of rock taken from an extinct volcano, a piece so thin — cut with a diamond saw — that it looks like stained glass. In fact, Bouffard told them, he plans to use the piece and 40 more like it to create three stained-glass windows for his house. “I can’t make a mistake. I made those pieces and I can’t replace them,” he said. Throughout the talk, Bouffard continued to tell the students the things he was showing them, the knowledge he has gained and the experiences he has had are all a testament to the value of learning. He then took them into outer space, talking about the three-billion planets that likely exist in our galaxy. “Do I think we are alone?” he asked them. “No chance. The math says it all.” Out of his small blue plastic box came rocks to prove it, rocks he said might be what the bodies of people from other planets are made from, linking each to the large periodic table mounted on the side wall of the classroom. Bouffard’s visits are organized through a Science World program, Scientists and Innovators in the Schools (SIS), designed to take science into schools. “The SIS program is definitely an unsung hero when it comes to science education in B.C., said Bryan Tisdall, president and CEO of Science World. “It encapsulates everything Science World’s mission is all about — making science fun and accessible and working with members of our community to inspire the science and technology leaders of tomorrow.” For more information about the program, email fmoller@scienceworld.ca.

Senators want changes to elections bill By Joan Bryden

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Harper government is getting some serious push-back from Conservative senators on its controversial overhaul of elections laws, with a Senate committee unanimously recommending nine major changes to the legislation. In an interim report to be tabled today (Tuesday, April 15) the Senate’s legal and constitutional affairs committee recommends that the government drop provisions to muzzle the chief electoral officer and the elections commissioner. It also recommends removing another provision which electoral experts have said would give an unfair, potentially huge, financial advantage to established parties — particularly the ruling Conservatives — during election campaigns. However, the committee is not recommending any change to the government’s plan to ban the practice of allowing registered voters to vouch for those who don’t have adequate ID. Nor is it recommending that the government back off its plan to ban the use of voter information cards

(VICs) as proof of address. Electoral experts have said the ban on vouching and VICs is a double whammy that could rob up to 500,000 Canadians of their fundamental right to vote. The committee does make a couple of recommendations that would make it easier for voters to obtain the required ID, including at least one piece of documentation that shows their address. For instance, it recommends that seniors’ homes, First Nations bands and homeless shelters be legally required to provide attestations of name and address for those residents who seek them And it recommends that Elections Canada be encouraged to accept electronic correspondence — not just original paper copies of bills and bank statements — as valid ID. While three Liberal senators on the committee have agreed to the nine recommendations, they’ve also crafted a minority report which argues the proposed changes don’t go far enough. Unless the proposed ban on vouching and VICs is repealed, they maintain the bill is unconstitutional because it fails to provide sufficient safeguards to ensure voters without ID aren’t

disenfranchised. Still, the changes agreed to by Conservative senators are significant and could signal an impending confrontation between the Tory-dominated Senate and the elected House of Commons over a bill dubbed the Fair Elections Act. The Senate committee last week started a rare ``pre-study’’ of the bill before a Commons committee finishes its own hearings and begins consideration of possible amendments at the end of the month. In issuing the interim report, the Senate committee is signalling the minimum changes necessary to win approval of the bill in the unelected upper house. And it could yet add more recommendations as it continues its prestudy when Parliament returns after a two week break on April 28. The interim report recommends: • Removing a provision which would allow political parties to exempt from their election expenses any money spent to raise donations from anyone who has donated at least $20 over the previous five years. Experts have called this an unenforceable loophole that would allow rich, established parties with big donors’ lists to

spend untold millions more during campaigns. • Requiring automated call service providers to retain records of campaign robocalls for three years, rather than the one year retention proposed in the bill. • Clarifying that Elections Canada’s reduced role in promoting democracy and voter participation will not affect the independent agency’s involvement in Student Vote or other educational programs aimed at elementary and high school students. • Specifying that both the chief electoral officer, who administers election laws, and the commissioner of elections, who enforces the law and investigates breaches, be able to inform the public of any problems they uncover in the electoral system. • Specifically authorizing continued communications between the chief electoral officer and the commissioner, whom the bill proposes to hive off Elections Canada and

move under the auspices of the director of public prosecutions. • Encouraging Elections Canada to post photos of candidates on ballots, to help voters who can’t read. • Encouraging Elections Canada to provide information about braille ballots to blind voters and to conduct a pilot project

KENNETH MARTIN ANGELI

SOSTORICS

Edith Jean Kassiones

December 27, 1945 – April 12, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Kenneth Martin Angeli. Born December 27, 1945, in Humboldt, Saskatchewan. He is predeceased by his father Joseph, mother Agnes and sister Brenda. He will be greatly missed by his wife Teckla of 48 years, his children Jackie (Mark) Gutknecht, Rick (Shari) Angeli, Kim (Chris) Burnham, Scott Angeli and his grandchildren Megan, Kyle, Amy, Courtney, Ashley, Cole, Makalya, and Dylan. He is survived by his brothers and sisters Sylvia, Marion, Larry and Karen. When Ken moved to Kamloops, one of his rst jobs was driving for Trimac which eventually led to his own trucking business as an owner operator. KAT Trucking was operational from 1976 to 2007 which was then purchased by Trimac...talk about a full circle. His passion for trucking was his biggest challenge and his greatest reward which he lived and breathed. Ken’s greatest loves in life was his family, his snowbird months, golng, and motorized vehicles; the faster the better and there wasn’t a vehicle he didn’t own and then sell. Please join Ken’s family and friends in a celebration of life to be held at the Coast Canadian Hotel, 1250 Rogers Way, East Entrance, on Thursday, April 17, 2014, at 2 to 5 pm. Thank you to the outstanding care and love by the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice during Ken`s last days. In lieu of owers, please consider donations to the Hospice.

In Loving Memory of

Febr uar y 20, 1927 ~ March 24, 2014 With profound sadness we announce Mum’s passing. The second child of Isaac and Anna Boyd Mum was born, raised and lived most of her life in Kamloops.

Lori (Ann) Sostorics suddenly passed away March 30, 2014 in Kamloops BC at the young age of 46. Lori will be remembered for her kindness, her giving nature and determination to help others. She filled our lives with endless love; unforgettable moments and enough laughter to fill a lifetime. She will be remembered for her beautiful smile and nurturing ways. Lori Ann is deeply missed by her daughter, Allycia Sostorics, parents Ron and Joan Powell and many relatives. She is predeceased by her sister Lisa Powell, may they rest peacefully together. No funeral by request. Condolences may be left at www.mem.com Arrangements entrusted to Schoening Cremation Centre 250 554 2429

Mum is survived by daughters Carolyn (Warren) Bepple, Cherie (Hans Verhagan) Mansell, son James (Chris); grandchildren Shen, Ki, Kendra; sisters Hilda Sinclair, Marguerite (John) Burke, Dorothy (Bob) Grubb, Carol (Roy) Garby; brothers Bob (Audrey), Johnny (Helen Goronuk), Billy (Olive Brown); many nieces, nephews and cousins. We are a close-knit family and Mum cared for and gave her unconditional love to all and received much love in return. Mum was a trail blazer for her family. She started to work in the kitchen of the Commodore Cafe in 1941 at age 14 doing dishes then peeling vegies. Eventually all her brothers and sisters at one time or another worked in either the Commodore Cafe or Alex’s Bar BQ. The Commodore is also where she met her husband Alex Kassiones who died in January 2005. After 40 years Mum retired from the Commodore and worked in dietary at Ponderosa Lodge for 10 years - a very enjoyable time for her. Mum couldn’t wait to sign up for military service and persuaded her older sister Hilda to wait for her so they could join together. February 26, 1945 was the day! Mum was later assigned to Canadian Army Shows and was in Rhythm Rodeo from August 1945 to November 1945 performing for recovering servicemen in England who were waiting to be shipped home. These 4 months gave Mum a passion for dance. She also formed a precious lifelong friendship with Lois who she met while in England. Mum was CO or Commanding Officer to her grandchildren. Mum was an avid bridge player with the Kamloops Heritage Bridge Club. She valued the good company and challenging games 3 times a week. She was a compassionate person with great empathy and so supported the Children’s Hospital, New Life Mission, Salvation Army, and RIH so that others could live a better life as she was able to do. Mum led a good life and expected those she loved to do likewise. She was not a religious person but found strength in family, poetry and song. Louis Armstrong was one of her favourite musicians.

A Prayer For Every Day by Mary Carolyn Davies Make me too brave to lie or be unkind. Make me too understanding, too, to mind The little hurts companions give, and friends, The careless hurts that no one quite intends. Make me too thoughtful to hurt others so. Help me to know The inmost hearts of those for whom I care, Their secret wishes, all the loads they bear, That I may add my courage to their own. May I make lonely folks feel less alone, And happy ones a little happier yet. May I forget What ought to be forgotten; and recall Unfailing, all That ought to be recalled, each kindly thing, Forgetting what might sting. To all upon my way, Day after day, Let me be joy, be hope! Let my life sing! Mum, you were the greatest and we’ll miss you terribly. But when a raindrop or snowflake touches our face, or the wind tussles our hair we will know that it is you keeping watch and just checking up on us all. It’s a new journey. you can fly wherever you wish -without a pilot’s licence now! We’d like to thank Dr. Van Zyl, Dr. Bishop and the dedicated, professional and caring nurses and staff of RIH’s Emergency Dept. and 7 North. There will be Celebration of Life in late summer.

Job cuts coming to Shaw No charges in second CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Shaw Communications (TSX:SJR.B) plans to lay off some 400 employees, or almost three per cent of its workforce, in a move to consolidate operations. The Calgary-based company said Monday, April 14, that changes will be focused on rearranging the structure of its cable, satellite, Internet and home phone services to make them

more efficient. The reworked operations will be divided into two units, one which delivers Shaw services to residential consumers and another which handles business customers. Shaw will also hire more than 100 employees in areas of its business that are growing. The new jobs will cover positions such as the supply chain, marketing and its networks infrastructure, the company said.

Battle over Alberta pharmacy rewards CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — A plan by the regulator of Alberta pharmacists to ban stores from giving consumers reward points for purchases is turning into a prescription for a court battle. Sobeys Inc. plans to file a legal challenge against the Alberta College of Pharmacists on behalf of Sobeys and Safeway. Earlier this month the college announced it would ban the issuing of such reward points for pharmacy purchases starting May 1. The council said it made the decision because pharmacists and technicians are health professionals, not

simply vendors of drugs. Sobeys said it strongly disagrees with the college’s decision about the awarding of Air Miles and Club Sobeys points. Sandra Aylward, vice-president of Sobeys, said millions of Albertans collect such points and a recent survey suggests most consumers would consider such a ban unfair. “Studies show that loyalty programs build stronger bonds between patients and their pharmacies and encourage better patient adherence to prescription medication,’’ she said Monday, April 14 in a release. Nova Scotia-based Sobeys is owned by Empire Company Limited.

Three convicted for beating during Stanley Cup riot VANCOUVER — Three young men were convicted Monday, April 14, of beating a Good Samaritan during Vancouver’s Stanley Cup riot — an act of violence that has been singled out for special condemnation, even when compared with the chaos and destruction that swept through the downtown. A fourth man also charged was acquitted. Robert MacKay was assaulted on June 15, 2011, outside The Bay department store during the riot that broke out following the Canucks’ loss in Game 7 of the

VICTORIA — There was a strange sense of deja vu in the announcement Monday, April 14, that no charges would be laid in the connection to a fiery sawmill blast in Prince George, B.C., that claimed the lives of two people and hurt 22 more. B.C.’s Criminal Justice Branch said based on the evidence available there is no substantial likelihood of conviction connected to the Lakeland Mills explosion two years ago. WorkSafeBC had recommended charges connected to regulatory offences against the company in February. The branch made a similar announcement in January, saying no charges would be laid in connection to the mill explosion and fire that killed two and hurt 19 in Burns Lake, B.C., in January 2012. Charges were recommended in the explosion at the Babine Forest Products sawmill in Burns Lake, but didn’t proceed, partly due to a flawed investigation by WorkSafeBC. Criminal Justice Branch officials met with the families of the dead and injured workers in Prince George on Monday to inform them of the decision before it was released publicly. The April 23, 2012, explosion killed 43-yearold Alan Little and 46-year-old Glenn Roche, and occurred three months after the Burns Lake explosion.

Sharkey circles 2018 Olympic Winter Games By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

HE 2002 WINTER OLYMPICS were big for West Sharkey. Not because he was competing — he was just 10 years old — but because it was the first time he saw skeleton. The 10-year-old was hooked. That year marked the return of skeleton to the Games after a 54-year absence. It also marked the beginning of Sharkey’s Olympic dream. “It just clicked. It just felt like that’s my purpose. That’s what I’m going to be,” the 22-year-old Kamloops product told KTW from the Whistler Athletes’ Centre, five kilometres from his home track — the Whistler Sliding Centre (WSC). “I didn’t know how I was going to make it there or what I was going to do to get there, but I just knew that, eventually, everything would fall into place.” The No. 1-ranked skeleton racer in B.C. will vie for a spot on the North American Cup circuit next season and has his sights set on the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The turning point was this season’s provincial championship, a March race at the WSC in which he finished sixth, helping to vault him into his current ranking.

Sharkey’s skeleton career is still in its youth — the 2013-2014 season was just his second sliding at the provincial level. Generally, athletes need to be at least 14 years old before they are allowed to start sliding. Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton considers skeleton a mature sport and generally looks for athletes who have established themselves in other sports and developed translatable skills. Keith Loach, Canadian national-team technical coach, said those are often football, rugby, track and field and hockey — sports that have allowed individuals to develop speed and power. For Sharkey, the sport was a little more unconventional — kickboxing. “When I look at those sports, I automatically think, ‘OK, here’s a guy who has probably got very quick decision-making skills,’” Loach said of martial-arts sports. “That is a translation to our sport because, when we’re going down the Whistler track at 140 km/h, we have to make very fast, split-second decisions on steering. So, sometimes, sports like those West was involved in, they have fast reaction times and fast thinking skills, so that can translate well.” Though the track at the centre closed more than three weeks ago, Sharkey is now embarking on what he said is the most 1645 East Kent North, important part ofAvenue his season.

Lace up for someone you love

He’ll use his time away from his sled to build his strength and conditioning, improve his sprinting and develop skills that can sometimes be pushed to the wayside during the rigors of the competition season. He’ll also be working toward paying for his next season. “The financial side of things is definitely one of the biggest struggles that we face as athletes at this level,” Sharkey said. “At the very top level, there’s funding that comes in from the government for, like, the top five in Canada, that sort of stuff. But, it’s right when you’re in that cusp, when you’ve reached the level where you have to be training full-time, 100 per cent, in order to compete on that level, that’s where it’s the most difficult.” Sharkey works in his off-season and sometimes part-time during skeleton season, but he’s also depending on fundraising and sponsorship for 2014-2015. He has started an online fundraising campaign at gofundme.com/sharkeyskeleton. He has raised about $3,300 of the $6,000 he needs for a new sled. He estimates he needs to bring in an additional $18,000 to fund his accommodation, travel and other expenses next season. Though funding his career is a barrier, it’s part of the game for Sharkey, who is living the dream that began more than a decade ago in his Kamloops home.

West Sharkey is dead set on representing Canada in skeleton at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in South Korea.

Sedin scores two, leaves on a stretcher as Canucks down Flames in finale By Joshua Clipperton

THE CANADIAN PRESS sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

VANCOUVER — A miserable season for the Vancouver Canucks ended with a scary incident on Sunday night. Daniel Sedin scored twice before leaving the game on a stretcher following a hit from behind as the Canucks wrapped up a disastrous 2013-2014 campaign with a 5-1 victory over the Calgary Flames. The result of a game that meant very little was overshadowed by the nasty check late in the second period that saw Sedin stay down after being driven into the boards by Calgary’s Paul Byron. The Canucks confirmed Sedin, who was moving his fingers immediately after the hit, was taken to hospital as a precaution and later released. “You are concerned about the guy. I’m glad

he’s OK,” Canucks’ head coach John Tortorella said. “When I saw him first go down, it scared me a little bit. “That’s the most important thing. It’s not about the damn game, it’s about the kid, but we’ve gotten really good reports. “This game means nothing. We’re done.” Henrik Sedin said he knew something was wrong as soon as his twin brother went down. “He’s not a guy that stays down or acts hurt,’’ the Canucks’ captain said. “Especially when you see him lay still and he’s just moving

his fingers. Then I know he’s concerned, so that was when I started feeling worried.’’ Byron, who was assessed a five-minute penalty for boarding and a game misconduct, said there was no intent to injure on his part. “I just saw the puck in the corner. I was trying to finish my check. I saw the replay again. I didn’t think it was a dirty hit,” said Byron, who had just 12 minutes in penalties coming into Sunday. “It wasn’t my intention. I just hope he’s OK. You never want to see that happen to a guy on the ice.” Flames’ head coach Bob Hartley appeared agitated at the call, something that incensed Tortorella, who struggled to bite his tongue when speaking to the media afterwards. “The year that we’ve had, and I am the head

coach of this team, you tuck your tail between your legs and you leave,” said Tortorella. “It’s been a rough year, but it’s embarrassing to coach against the guy across from me tonight. Some of the things that went on when Danny was hurt, it’s embarrassing.” Tortorella has had a running feud with Hartley for years and it boiled over in January when Tortorella tried to get into the Flames’ locker-room following a line brawl. Tortorella was subsequently suspended 15 days for that incident. “I probably have no right to say anything because of the year I have had, but that stuff pisses me off. I probably shouldn’t say anything,’’ Tortorella said. “It just pisses me off. I just don’t like the disrespect with players. It aggravates me. “I am not going to go any further. I don’t

Gillis last week. Vancouver was in a playoff spot at Christmas, but stumbled badly for a 20-game stretch midway through the season because of injuries and an inability to adapt to Tortorella’s system. Whether the embattled coach remains behind the bench is likely to be one of the key decisions for newly minted president of hockey operations Trevor Linden. There’s no doubt some of the Canucks’ struggles this season are directly related to health, with both Sedins missing long stretches due to injury. “I think the last couple games, we both felt really good moving

the puck again, making plays,’’ Henrik Sedin said. “It’s frustrating. It’s a weird feeling when you know you have it, but for long periods of time, it hasn’t been there. “It’s sad it’s come to this and here we are out of the playoffs. It’s not fun.’”

The Canucks inducted former head coach and general manager Pat Quinn into the Ring of Honour high above the ice surface prior to the game. Quinn led the team that lost in Game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup final to the New York Rangers.

like the way he does business. I don’t like him and, eventually, I guess why I am talking about it in this way is because I need to protect my players and a lot of people don’t understand that, so I’ll just leave it at that. I don’t know why I opened it up.’’ For his part, Hartley had no problem with Byron’s hit. “In the last game of the season, you don’t want anyone injured,’’ Hartley said. “We all feel it was a hockey play that you see maybe 10 or 15 times a game. Whether he fell awkward in the boards or something like this, hopefully he is all right.’’ The summer should be interesting in Calgary and Vancouver, with both teams needing new general managers after the Flames fired Jay Feaster in December and the Canucks axed Mike

Konrad’s teams experienced ‘unexpected greatness’ By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Winning was never the focus for Alf Konrad. For nearly 40 years, the retired school teacher taught both in the classroom and the sporting world, where he coached rugby, wrestling, basketball and track and field. Konrad was inducted to the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame (KSHF) on Saturday, April 12, along with Jim Cotter, Barb Warsimage, Fred Nicholson and the 1992 to 1995 Kamloops midget Braves fastball team. Konrad’s teams often enjoyed success — his NorKam Saints rugby team won a B.C. high school championship and was runner-up three times from 1979 to 1983, being named to the Hall in 2005. His wrestlers appeared at the Okanagan high-school wrestling championships and his years of coaching impacted hundreds of Kamloops youth. But, for Konrad, all that was secondary to what he believed to be the real purpose of high-school sports. “I would describe it as turning a light on in a kid and building confidence because, in the end, they were all going to grow up, they were all going to become men and women,” Konrad said. “I mentioned in my talk they don’t forget. Lots of children didn’t necessarily have — they were North Shore kids — lots of them didn’t have everything.” Konrad’s teams weren’t always the favourites heading into competitions. In 1983, the Saints rugby team was

expected to win, but teams in 1980, ’81 and ’82, along with his girls basketball teams, achieved what he called “unexpected greatness.” Those are the memories that stand out for the teacher who spent more than half his career at NorKam and took his coaching responsibilities seriously. “Men like us, we were their male role models,” Konrad said of himself and his fellow coaches. “We showed them you can battle — you can compete with anyone in the province. To build confidence, work ethic . . . that was wonderful. “Our greatest moments in coaching were when we achieved greatness and it’s unexpected.” Though his decades in sports saw him at the helm of a number of teams, Konrad said he never developed a favourite. Instead, each team brought him something different, allowing him to touch the lives of students in varying ways. “I say all of the above, truly,” he said when asked for his favourite. “Wrestling and track and field gave me the opportunity to do individual sports, a man is out there on his own — gen-

YOU DON’T KNOW... WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW!

This could have been a quote by anyone’s wise grandmother on the numerous aspects of life. But in fact, the first time I heard this was in specialty school from Dr. Preety Desai one particular professor who had a wickedly dry sense of humour on all aspects “teeth”. He incessantly droned on about “knowledge and education” but it became crystal clear that “knowledge was power” and that the more I studied everything pertaining to my specialty, the more I would understand! Not rocket science you know! On the other hand, how are you to educate yourself on things outside of your realm? Well ... easy ask someone who is a specialist in THAT field! April is oral health month and I don’t mean to sound facetious - but this is definately the month to celebrate the “tooth fairy” which is truly the only superhero(ine) that dentistry has to offer the world as of today. There are so many aspects of oral health, unlike in medical health, that CAN BE identified and diagnosed before YOU feel or know anything is wrong. Early diagnosis results in an excellent treatment success rate. This is the premise of oral health month: bring awareness that dentists are doctors of the mouth. On examination, we not only focus on teeth, but also the health of the tongue, the cheeks, the floor of the mouth and the gums, check your TMJoints, misalignment of teeth and jaws, snoring/breathing and sinus issues, grinding or clenching habits which we all experience by the way - it is not just stress related. All dentists and hygienists routinely do oral cancer screenings, gum disease checks, check for cracking or leaking fillings or crowns, examine for mobile and sensitive teeth. There are so many subtle and minor changes that can be known very early before the problem of a cavity becomes a root canal, for example. The more frequently you keep to a regular dental health protocol, the more chance I have as a clinician to catch something before it becomes a big deal! Big deals become expensive and more time consuming. The metaphor of life - don’t ignore the rattle in the car engine, the engine eventually falls out. And just because something doesn’t “hurt” in the mouth...... does not mean that everything is always fine. I hear this comment at least daily in my office. Dental pain is only occasionally going to “hurt’. Periodontal disease DOES not hurt and results in complete tooth loss. Oral Cancer doesn’t hurt but can result in death. Root fractures don’t hurt and result in inevitable tooth loss. Resorbing (i.e. idiopathic unexplained dissolving teeth) don’t hurt but certainly leads to tooth loss. So in this month of celebrating the tooth fairy ~ which is actually quite ironic ~ before you lose a tooth and have to pay your dentist for the privilege of restoring your oral health, ask them questions on what you don’t know because they DO know or will KNOW to refer you to the specialist who does KNOW. Happy Brushing!

Student book-battles include Winn Dixie, Matilda By Adam Williams

WENTY-SEVEN SCHOOLS, 12 books, four zones, one winner. Battle of the Books returns to the Kamloops-Thompson school district this month, with zone competitions last week leading to the district finals on Wednesday, April 16. The district competition is a trivia challenge of sorts, with school representatives pitted against one another, answering questions about that year’s titles. “This is just a different type of team,” said Battle of the Books creator Faith Bailey. The retired teacher-librarian created the program in 1987, after reading about a similar contest in Alaska. The first official district battle was held at Parkcrest elementary school in April of 1988. Since then, Battle of the Books has grown into a popular annual competition, with the mandate to “stimulate an interest in reading.” The program involves schools from around SD73 and is divided into three age groups — Grades 3 and 4, Grade 5 and Grades 6 and 7.

Kamloops writer reflects as CBC show ends Ian Weir was afraid of flying when approached to create and write Arctic Air By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When this season of Arctic Air wraps up — cancelled by the CBC last month — Ian Weir wants to take some time off “and come up for air.” The creator of the show about a maverick airline based in Yellowknife sees the cancellation as a chance to focus on the novel-writing side of his career. The Kamloops native credits much of his success to the grounding he received in all things artistic while a student at Kamloops High School (now South Kamloops secondary) and, in particular, to teacher Tom Kerr, the senior drama teacher. “I’m always amazed at the number of theatre graduates from Kam High,” Weir said.

He started his career in journalism, writing for the former Kamloops Sentinel and eventually being hired by the Thompson newspaper chain and sent to Ottawa to work. Through it all, though, “my forest dream was to be a playwright,” Weir said — and his first paid job in that area came in 1979, when he was hired to write radio plays for the CBC. “I fell into TV by accident,” he said, when the national broadcaster was “looking for playwrights to cross over. “I didn’t revolutionize the world of screenwriting,” Weir said. “But when I worked on Beachcombers [writing five episodes], I learned the craft.” Other shows he was involved in include Flashpoint, Cold Squad, Edgemont, Nothing Too

Good for a Cowboy, Zix: Level II, Flash Forward, Psi Factor, Odyssey, Northwood, Fifteen and Lies from Lotus Land. When Weir was approached in 2010 about what would become Arctic Air, he was intrigued — and reluctant. He said he was interested because it would involve creating the series and writing the pilot on a subject matter that definitely interested him, but also because it was set in an part of the country that he said “is fertile ground for drama. But, there was one little problem. “I’m a white-knuckle flier,” he said. “So I told them that, as long as you’re OK with this, we can do it. X See WEIR B5

“And I made sure WestJet flew from Vancouver to Yellowknife and that it flew 737s. “I hadn’t lived in the north at all but, living in Kamloops, I spent a lot of time at the north Shuswap and, as soon as I started to talk to people [in Yellowknife], I could see the similarities with people who live at the north Shuswap and the Fraser Canyon area, people who are extraordinarily capable and brilliant, but who defy pigeonholes and live on their own terms,” Weir said. It brought the series into focus for him, he said — it was about “people who define who you’re going to be and what you’re

going to do.” Weir hired another Kamloops native, Derek Thompson, to be a co-ordinator for the first season and, in the second season, added screenwriting to Thompson’s plate. Once the series ends, Weir is preparing for the release of his most-recent novel, Will Starling, a historical thriller set in London in 1816. Weir said he drew his inspiration for the book from his father, who was a Kamloops surgeon, in creating the title character who finds himself “making extraordinary leaps in medicine back then.” Television still calls him, though. “I’d jump at the chance to create another television series,” he said.

BOX OFFICE One of the most popular places to film movies in the Kamloops region is Box Canyon. Thompson-Nicola Regional District film commissioner Vicci Weller said this type of canyon features dramatic peaks, rocks and ravines that create interesting visuals for film producers on the hunt for locations. Weller estimated the film industry typically contributes as much as $3 million to the local economy annually â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a number she said could get larger. Weller said what entices filmmakers to the area are the unique features found in and around Kamloops, like the ridge that lifts up off the north edge of the South Thompson River and rises above East Shuswap Road as it travels east. Steep rock walls surround Box Canyon, an example of what film producers are looking for, Weller said. The largest production to shoot in the region was the film 2012, with another notable production being the A-Team movie filmed at the old Tranquille Sanatorium. The film commission has been wrangling filmmakers for 14 years from its downtown office, which is located along Victoria Street on the fourth floor above the Thompson-Nicola Regional District Library.

GREEN Get the best of both WITH worlds with Cadillac’s LUXURY ELR luxury hybrid coupe By Jim Robinson

METROLAND MEDIA wheels.ca

he 2014 Cadillac ELR offers an elegant solution to having your electric car cake and eating all the range you need too. But, for some reason, the benefits of this almost anxiety free electric propulsion system as also used in the Chevrolet Volt hasn’t gotten through to enviro-conscious buyers in a segment crowded with cars and trucks with varying degrees of electrification.

The ELR, like the Volt, is an EREV (extended range electric vehicle) meaning it has a huge

lithium-ion battery pack to propel it for the first 55 klicks or so. After that, a 1.4-litre gasoline

engine kicks in seamlessly and acts as a generator to produce electricity for the drivetrain. That provides another 425 km, for a combined 480 km (300 miles), before filling the tank and/or plugging in again. ELR is not an all-electric car, having a range of maybe 140 km on a good day, or a plug-in hybrid that uses a mix of battery and gasoline where it is dependent on the engine on anything beyond 30 km in normal traffic. And unlike a battery-only electric car, you don’t have to feather the accelerator pedal to eek out range. With the ELR you drive as normal where, if and when you want. Trying to use horsepower, kilowatts and torque doesn’t

really work because the gasoline (turbocharged) engine is not connected to the wheels, only to an electric generator. To put it simply, it’s like a locomotive where it’s all about electrical torque. In the case of the ELR, it is 295 lb/ft or about 10 per cent more than the 3.6litre V6 used in the Cadillac CTS. According to the Energuide fuel rating system, running on ELR strictly on the engine results in 7.6/6.7/7.2L/100km (37/42/39 mpg) city/highway/ combined, which is about average for a small luxury car. But in electric only, it’s 2.8/2.9/2.9L/100 km (101/97/99 mpg) city/highway/combined. The trick, of course, is to learn to get the best from the

system and the ELR does that with four different modes that can be selected by a switch on the centre console. Tour is the default mode and for normal driving. Sport tightens the suspension and re-maps the torque delivery. Mountain adjusts for more power needed for climbing. Hold shuts off the battery and uses the gas/electric generator only for long distance driving on the highway, thus saving the battery for in-town use after arriving at a destination. And to help a bit on charging the battery, the ELR comes with paddles on the steering wheel which, when depressed, add extra regenerative braking when operating in battery mode. X See TORQUE B14

Torque is immediate with ELR EREV coupe X From B13

I tried it several times on a short run around Toronto and it really works. Battery charging time with a 120-volt outlet is about 13 hours, but that drops to five hours with a 240-volt charger a buyer can obtain from Cadillac/ Bosch. I was on an afternoon wave of the ELR launch in Toronto so the car I drove was used in the morning and was charged over lunch, so it had only a two-hour refresh. Nevertheless, I covered about 60 km on a mix of battery and gas/generator power and averaged 2.1L/100 km. In the process I used 13.5 kWh and 0.75L/100 km of gas — not bad at all. Cadillac prides itself on its ride and handling which rivals the best sports coupes from Europe. While you wouldn’t expect it on an electric car, the ELR is equipped with Continuous Damping Control that adjusts the suspension every two milliseconds for optimum handling depending on road conditions and driver inputs. The HiPer strut front suspension uses forged aluminum components that not only lessen weight over steel, but also make for a quicker steering response. At the rear is a Watts-link system with weightoptimized trailing arms designed to absorb lateral inputs for better forward, rearward and

vertical motions. All this was appreciated in Toronto’s east end where streets are narrow, and after this winter, littered with potholes in all sizes and depths. Like a streetcar, which is also electric, all the torque is immediately available so launch is swift. It also gathers speed like a streetcar — smooth and linear with no sound. An interesting feature is a beeper that can be turned on during allelectric mode. Because the ELR is so quiet, it helps let people know if it’s coming, especially anyone who is hearing impaired. The ELR is also one of most attractive looking cars GM makes. Based on the Converj concept car, it has dramatic lines, LED headlights and one of the most aero-efficient bodies of any small car in the market. One of the challenges in turning the Converj into the production car was keeping the 20-inch alloy wheels that made the concept look so great. These were retained on the ELR and are fitted with specially engineered low rolling resistance tires that are also grippy and add to the premium sports coupe feel of the car. The signature vertical LCD taillights, if you look close enough, have a hint of tailfin, which set Cadillacs apart in the past. The interior is equally as stunning with cut-and-sewn accented

The interior of the 2014 Cadillac ELR is premium all the way with cut and sewn leather seating and a variety of top-drawer materials. The central gauge pack provides instant information on power delivery for the ELR with battery level on the left, engine gasoline level on the right and all the instant consumption/driver info at the centre.

leather incorporating suede, microfibre, chrome, wood and available carbon fibre finishes throughout. Programmable charging schedules and energy efficiency reports can be made available online or through smartphones. The driver/owner can find out the level of charge and/or set the charging time for off peak hours or to be completed by the time he/she sets off for work. The downside is price. The ELR starts at

$78,250. As tested, the ELR had every option, which is probably how most will be ordered with a price tag of $84,805 not counting the $1,700 delivery fee. You can buy a 240-volt charging station from Bosch for $1,010.70 but you’ll have to pay for installation. A bright spot is an Ontario rebate of $8,231.
