Gas-tax rules change gives city another funding option By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A change to the rules surrounding the $3-million in gas-tax money the city receives each year will give Kamloops council another place to look for performing-arts centre funding. Previously, municipalities could use the federal funds only for public infrastructure programs, but a new agreement has opened up the field to include arts and sports facilities, airport improvements and a host of other project types. Most of this year’s gas-tax funds are already earmarked in Kamloops for pedestrian improvements on Todd Road in Barnhartvale and for an upgrade of

Windbreak Street in Brocklehurst. The city also used gas-tax revenue to create a reserve fund that will fund cycling and pedestrian projects. Mayor Peter Milobar said it is promising the federal government has relaxed the rules around the money but, at this point, he said it’s anyone’s guess whether gastax funds will be used to fund a performing-arts centre. “That’s for the council, if and when we get to the numbers stages, to start figuring out,” he said. “It’s an option in the tool box, but it doesn’t mean it will be acted upon for that project. It may be that we may want to use those funds for other projects.” If council did choose to use gas-tax funds to build a centre, it would have the

option of setting some or all of the funds aside in a reserve designated to the project. Municipalities can also borrow against the funds. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod said the changes will give communities more flexibility while still encouraging them to revitalize their infrastructure. The city will take the next step on the performing-arts centre later this year when it hires a consultant to fine-tune its plans, including the centre’s location and design. Once that work is complete, the city will likely hold a referendum to seek permission to borrow the funds for the project.

In the past week, in locations across Kamloops, 12 businesses have been targeted in a rash of after-hours burglaries. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl said seven of 12 break-and-enter attempts reported to police as of Monday, April 21, were successful, some of them resulting in theft. “This is an unusually high number of break-ins to occur within the city,” Bush said. “There are similarities in most of the cases and police are putting together a strategy to address this sudden increase in activity.” The attempts were made on a variety of businesses in all areas of the city between the times of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. Bush said most have been in the Sahali area and entries were attempted or gained through damaging locks and/or breaking glass. “They were all businesses that were closed,” she said. Four of the cases occurred overnight in Valleyview, Sahali, the Mount Paul industrial area and Aberdeen. The Great Canadian Oil Change, Falcon Bowling Lanes, Kamloops Tirecraft and an undisclosed business in the City View shopping centre were targeted. The break-in attempt at Falcon Lanes in Valleyview at about 2:30 a.m. was unsuccessful, but two other businesses weren’t as lucky. Kamloops Tirecraft manager Graham O’Connor said video surveillance caught two hooded men breaking into the business just before midnight after punching out the front-door lock. “One guy circled my showroom,” he told KTW. “The other guy went straight for the till.” The suspects made off with the cash register, which contained about $100, but they left thousands of dollars in merchandise untouched, O’Connor said. Security officers arrived shortly after the incident. “I was expecting a lot more when I showed up this morning,” O’Connor said. The manager of the Great Canadian Oil Change described a similar incident. “They stole a cash register,” Kris Nichols told KTW. X See POLICE A5

Reported property crime down in city By Andrea Klassen

Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller.

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops RCMP will be stepping up its response to property crimes after a rash of break ins at businesses around the city. Supt. Brad Mueller told the city’s police committee on Monday, April 28, his department will pull in auxiliary constables and citizens on patrol and dedicate more of its own officers to catching the people responsible for the incidents, as detailed on page A1 of today’s edition of KTW. “We’ve got a couple of things in place here we want to step up,” Mueller said. “I don’t want to go into great detail because some of them are strategic, but we are going to have an increased presence out there during peak hours. Based on the intelligence we’ve gathered, we’ve got some ideas in terms of timing and places.” News of the latest break-ins — 12 businesses in the past week — comes as Kamloops RCMP released its first-quarter statistics showing reproted property crime property-crime offences fell to 1,142 from 1,238 in the in the Tournament Capital is down for the start of the same three-month period in 2013, an eight per cent reduction. year. 1645 East Kent Avenue North, Auto thefts were also down from this time last From January to March 31, the number of

year, falling from to 50 offences from 68. As well, fewer items were stolen from cars, with theft-from-motor-vehicle offences falling to 227 from 338 in 2013. “I think some of the proactive enforcement measures we’ve implemented have resulted in some success,” Mueller said, citing more than 700 curfew checks and almost 800 street checks police performed on prolific offenders during the quarter. Crimes against persons were down by 6.5 per cent over the first three months of the year, while drug crime was down by 7.6 per cent. Federal- and provincial-statue violations were on the rise, however, by 54 per cent and 15 per cent, respectively, which helped push the total number of criminal offences over the period up 2.6 per cent from this time last year. Overall, Kamloops Mounties dealt with 3,042 offences compared to 3,120 in the first three months of 2013. Mueller said mental health-related calls were up 15 per cent this quarter. While the RCMP has its Car 40 program, which deals with mental-health files, the call volume means many of the calls are still being handled by regular members.

On the heels of being named best community newspaper in Canada in the largest circulation class of 25,000 and over, Kamloops This Week has added to its honours. At the 2014 Ma Murray Awards in Richmond on Saturday, April 26, Kamloops This Week was named best community newspaper in B.C. and the Yukon in the secondlargest (47,010 to 91,000) of eight circulation classes. The award at the 2014 B.C. and Yukon Community Newspaper Association gala at the River Rock Casino Resort was received by publisher Kelly Hall. KTW was up against the Vancouver Courier and the Peace Arch News of White Rock. Kamloops This Week reporter Andrea Klassen placed second in the business-writing award category for her story on sister-city relationships. Last month, the Canadian Community Newspaper Association named KTW newspaper of the year, while the newspaper also won national awards for sports coverage (second), editorial page (second), feature news (second) and front page (third). The national awards will be officially presented next month at the national awards gala in Charlottetown.

John Tod Centre fundraising campaign begins By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A partner group that includes North Shore community associations has kicked off a fundraising campaign, with $75,000 worth of donations already rolling in. The goal to raise $300,000 for improvements to John Tod Centre was headlined by Ron and Rae Fawcett, who gave $50,000. United Way contributed $10,000, while site contractor Acres Enterprises kicked in $15,000. The centre will be home to the Boys & Girls Club and Kamloops YMCA/YWCA. It will include recreation, community, educational and fitness facilities. The city is undertaking the work worth slightly more than $1.8 million, with the additional $300,000 going toward further improvements. During an event on Friday, April 25, at the former elementary school, speakers said the goal is to have the money secured by July and building improvements done by fall. “There’s not a school trustee in B.C. who takes pleasure in closing schools,” said Coun. Ken Christian, a former school trustee who participated in the decision to close the McGowan Avenue elementary school in 2010. “But, it’s necessary in a time of declining enrolment.” Christian and other politicians said the improvements will ensure the former school retains its status as a place for children in a community centre. Partner groups include the North Shore Business Improvement Area, the North Shore Central Community Association, the Boys & Girls Club, the United Way, the Kamloops YMCA/YWCA and the city. The current Boys & Girls Club will move from McArthur Island, while the YMCA/YWCA will centralize its former child-care centre in Aberdeen and fitness facilities at Northills Shopping Centre. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake said the John Tod Centre is another example of investment on the North Shore, following improvements by the City of Kamloops at McDonald Park and creation of Spirit Square in North Kamloops. “Each time we do something like this, you know momentum is building,” Lake said. The federal government awarded $300,000 in grants, while the Boys & Girls Club and the YMCA/ YWCA each contributed $250,000. John Tod Centre remains in the hands of the Kamloops-Thompson school district, which leases it for no cost to the city.

Graffiti taggers have new targets By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.co

The city’s graffiti taggers have a new and unusual target this year — fire hydrants. Kamloops graffiti task force head Ronnie Bouvier told KTW she is seeing a major uptick in the number of tags on hydrants, stop signs and picnic tables, along with the usual walls and bridges. Though her crew has put in only 10 days of cleanup work so far in 2014, the task force has already painted over 3,200 square feet of graffiti — mostly “penises and f-yous,” in Bouvier’s words. She estimates graffiti is up 75 per cent from last year. The city’s files also show a jump, though it’s less dramatic. Community-safety manager Jon Wilson said he had about 20 files open relating to

graffiti on public property at this time last year. In 2014, he’s dealing with more than 30 files. Private-property numbers are even more skewed. Particular problem areas include Pemberton Terrace in Sahali, the Richmond tot lot in North Kamloops and Peterson Creek Park, though those aren’t the only spots on Bouvier’s radar. “There’s a lot of destruction out there,” she said. Bouvier said one local day care was hit so many times by taggers that the business has gone through 20 gallons of paint. Private businesses and residences typically shoulder all removal costs. As well, taggers continue to hit the city’s public art and murals in parks and in commercial areas. Riverside Park was one of the worst hit and getting the paint off stone and bronze

“takes a toothbrush and some willpower,” Bouvier said. In attempt to combat the increase, the task force is calling on members of the community. “We need your help,” Bouvier said. “There’s not a lot of us. There’s only me and four staff.” In some harder-hit neighbourhoods, a number of designated community members are patrolling popular targets, which seems to keep the graffiti practitioners at bay. But, Bouvier said, when her community helpers go on vacation or need time off from their roles, the taggers move back in quickly. She is encouraging people to keep an eye out for graffiti and make sure to document what they find. “We want you to take a photo of it, we want you to let us know, then remove it,” she said.

Where is worst road in British Columbia? In Kamloops?

The British Columbia Automobile Association is calling on British Columbians to identify the roads they believe are the most unsafe and in dire need of attention with its annual Worst Roads survey. Until May 26, B.C. motorists, cyclists and

pedestrians can cast a vote for their worst-road nominee by going online to bcaa.com/worstroads. Voters can pinpoint the stretch of road they feel is the worst in B.C. and specify what infrastructure issue they’re concerned about. People can vote once

per road, but for as many roads as they wish. Last year, 581 stretches of road were identified by British Columbians as being some of the province’s most unsafe, overly congested or deteriorating roads. Westside Road in Kelowna was the winner

for two years in a row and has been the subject of $6.5-million worth of work by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

Nichols said the alarm went off at about 3:30 a.m. and, in about 30 seconds, the store recorded an estimated $1,000 in total damages. Bush said there are similarities within the 12 cases that have police believing the burglaries are connected. “We’re going to dissect each one of these files, look at the similarities, look at the

methods used and work from there,” she said. In the meantime, Bush urged local businesses to take due care and precaution with some basic tips. She said they should ensure respective alarm systems and/or surveillance systems are activated, working and monitored and they should limit the amount of cash kept on premises after-hours to prevent loss.

Bush said shop owners should also note descriptions and licence-plates numbers of suspicious people and vehicles.

January trial for accused killer Native New Zealander charged with wife’s murder By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A man accused of killing his wife by pushing her off a boat at a lake near Revelstoke is scheduled to stand trial in January of 2015. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ian Meiklem has set aside six months for Peter Beckett’s trial by jury on charges of first-degree murder, counselling to commit murder and obstruction of justice. If it lasts as long as it is scheduled, the trial will mark one of the longest in recent memory at the Kamloops Law Courts. Beckett, a native New Zealander and a massive man who dwarfs sheriffs and lawyers in the courtroom, is a former alderman in that country. It’s been 32 months since he was arrested and charged with his wife’s murder. The Crown alleges he

killed Laura Letts-Beckett, 50, by pushing her off a boat at Shelter Bay, south of Revelstoke, in 2010. He was arrested a year later. Police also believe Beckett plotted to kill five witnesses — including Letts-Beckett’s parents, an RCMP sergeant and an Alberta lawyer — while behind bars. Beckett has spent his time at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, where he said he is locked up 22 hours a day. There, he has been filing applications alleging abuse of process, bias by police and court officials and failure of Crown to disclose documents. Meiklem recently handed down a ruling that allowed Beckett access to the large majority of paper documents he sought. The Crown was planning to give him electronic access, but Beckett complained he was not comfortable with technol-

ogy and accused officials with tampering with electronic documents. “I’ve read your decision,” he told Meiklem on Monday, April 28. “[The world] ‘surprising,’ ‘credulous’, ‘inaccurate’ and ‘biased’ come to mind,” Beckett complained. Meiklem replied: “I thought the decision was in your favour, more or less.” Beckett is now appealing some decisions made on his applications, but Meiklem warned that won’t delay trial. “You haven’t been diligent on your defence,” Meiklem said. “You’ve been diligent on the offensive side.”

Rotary Food Drive collects 59,000 pounds By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Rain isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what you want to see on a day when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping an army of volunteers will collect tons of food that another battalion of helpers will sort and pack â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all to feed the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hungry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were wondering what the day would be like,â&#x20AC;? said Bernadette Siracky, executive director of the Kamloops Food Bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were at Interior Vault [where donations are sorted] wondering and waiting and, then, the food just kept coming and coming and coming and the bags were tied tight so there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any wet food.â&#x20AC;? When the work was done

on Saturday, April 26, at about 3 p.m., the semi-annual Rotary Food Drive had collected 59,000 pounds, just 1,000 pounds less that a chart-topper a couple of years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was stunning,â&#x20AC;? Siracky said, noting the food doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be stored off-site and this week is being unpacked and put on shelves at the expanded facility on Wilson Street. There were still some glitches â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a few streets in Juniper didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive their yellow plastic donation bags and some other streets were missed by the dozens of volunteers out collecting. Two volunteers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rotarians Devon Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole and Christopher Seguin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; spent the day going to the missed areas to ensure all donations were gathered.

While she acknowledged itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible to single out any single volunteer, Siracky noted Canadian Linen provided a truck, as did NRI and Best Express. NRI also sent in a team of about 25 people to help unload, sort and pack. Service clubs, youth groups and individuals were also part of the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the beautiful thing about this,â&#x20AC;? Siracky said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody from two to 80 has a way to support their community, such an easy way. A twoyear-old can help fill a bag. An 80-year-old can too.â&#x20AC;? And, while the shelves are again filled up toward the rafters, Siracky estimated Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s haul will be gone by mid-summer.

More than one version of reality of life at a mine

OR A NEWSPAPER reporter, quotes like this don’t get much better. “When the wind kicks up at Highland, it looks like a bad movie, like Lawrence of Arabia.” The gem comes compliments of Richard Boyce, president of the United Steelworkers local that represents 1,000 workers at the mine near Logan Lake. He said it during his recent speech warning on the perils of the proposed Ajax mine. The image, from Saudi Arabia 80-odd years ago and transported forward to the mine site today is arresting: Mine workers with the classic headlamp hardhat and safety glasses, tilted hard against a merciless, driving wind that carries sheets of dust, piling and coating everything. (That’s a literary interpretation of the image — and a little distorted, since it’s not an underground mine, so there are no headlights up top.) But, at it’s core, is it true? And is that the vision of a future Ajax, about half the size of Highland Valley Copper (HVC), but located within several kilometres of the City of Kamloops? There is little doubt one of the world’s largest open-pit mines exposes a lot of bare ground and crushed rock. Prior to 2010, when HVC built three massive domes that together comprise a Canadian flag, the image had some relation to reality. The mine typically hired a crew of summer students whose job it was to shovel inches of accumulated material from the roof of the administration building. That dust was primarily from the mine’s stockpiles and so contained

CAM FORTEMS Views From The

NEWSROOM copper ore — that was money blowing around the mine site. I put that image and question about dust to Highland Valley Copper. Predictably, it’s not as colourful as Boyce’s ode to Hollywood. Peter Martel, the mine’s superintendent of environment and community affairs, said in addition to the domes, other measures include planting vegetation in barren areas, conveyor sprays, water trucks, filters and traffic management. “HVC continually looks for effective means to further reduce impacts to the environment through a better understanding of wind velocity patterns, climate conditions and research into new dust management technologies,” he said. Clearly, there is dust at the mine, acknowledged at the least in the fact HVC began a plan in 2012 to monitor dust from a dam. “This plan includes dust monitors that can determine particulate size and volume, cameras, wind-velocity sensors and climate station,” Martel said. “Each year, the monitoring plan will be updated to assess key areas of the mine site.” Over at KGHM, the question of dust

is one of the key issues the company behind Ajax is facing. A company official said dust is part of its environmental-assessment application. Water trucks are being used today to control dust during exploration and planning activities and will be used in the future. And that’s about as good as it gets from KGHM. Was it naive to hope for a statement that head PR guy Yves Lacasse is so confident that he will personally lick building roofs at the gleaming mine site? While he’s at it, he could also eat some of the tailings? Great pictures and film for TV! But, the image from the movies wasn’t the end of Boyce’s colourful presentation. He also said workers at Highland Valley have become sick from diesel-fume inhalation. In response, HVC said it has no WorkSafeBC claims related to dieselexhaust inhalation. It also adopted an anti-idling policy on site in 2013, which also helps reduce greenhousegas emissions. Boyce also claimed there won’t be a lot of jobs for unemployed workers in the city because KGHM would poach from experienced fly-in fly-out workers going to places like Fort McMurray and mines in northern B.C. The response from Ajax: “We will look at all applications to hire the best candidates for the job when the time comes.” Summed up, those are the two versions of reality we are forced to digest regarding Ajax — hyperbole on one side and, on the other, blithe assurances everything will be answered in the application. cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The weight of hunger hits home in Kamloops Fifty-nine-thousand pounds. Think about that number. It is a massive amount — equivalent to 27 tonnes. Fifty-nine-thousand pounds. That is the amount of food, in weight, Kamloopsians donated during the weekend’s semiannual Rotary Food Drive. That’s the weight of 328 average-sized men. That is a whole lot of food. But, here’s the thing. All that food, collected in all those yellow bags that were delivered last week to all those doorsteps with all those copies of Kamloops This Week, will be enough to feed the city’s hungry for only a few months. Fifty-nine-thousand pounds. That’s the equivalent of five Asian elephants. All that food will be used by the Kamloops Food Bank to feed the city’s needy — yet it will likely be gone by midsummer. In about three months’ time, 59,000 pounds of food will have been consumed by those in Kamloops who desperately needed the nutrition. And that remarkably graphic image — of that much food leaving the shelves in such a short time — illustrates why the Kamloops Food Bank and programs like the Rotary Food Drive are so crucial. There is no one special time to donate to the food bank. Hunger knows no seasons. Fifty-nine-thousand pounds proves how high Kamloops’ generosity can be piled up. If you can, please keep the food bank in mind as the year progresses. When you open that cupboard door and notice the pantry is full, spare a thought — and perhaps a can or two — for those who feed the hungry among us.

KAMLOOPS

THIS WEEK Speak up You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Rational Thoughts column: Governments must give up pot paranoia:

“The vast majority of medical-marijuana users are using because it gets them high! “I don’t know of any medicine you have to smoke to ingest. “The fact of the matter is, and ask any firefighter, any smoke in your lungs is not a good thing. “The sad thing is you are only hurting yourself, but our medical system will treat your lung cancer when it comes — at great expense to the rest of us.” — posted by Pat “I have been using medical marijuana daily for a decade and have rarely ever combusted it. “There are many techniques for consuming cannabis that do not involve drawing smoke into the lungs. “I will agree that smoking anything is probably not good for the lungs; however, there is no scientific evidence smoking cannabis causes lung cancer.” —posted by The Dude

Premier Clark must put her words into action Editor: An open letter to Premier Clark: In the April 11 edition of the Vancouver Sun, you were quoted as saying: “I think the rules need to be tightened up . . . I think we are at a moment in history where the way things have always been done for 150 years is now banging up against a new public expectation. “. . . [people are] saying, ‘That’s not the way we want it to be done any more.’” You spoke these words in an interview on rules on MLA expenses.

How fitting these words are in regard to the 150-year-old Mineral Tenure Act. This act is also banging up against public expectation — the rights of residents of communities to have a say on resource development in their communities, especially in the case of Kamloops, where the proposed Ajax mine would be 1.5 kilometres from the city’s newest elementary school and from the newest homes. In this example of “the way things have always been done for 150 years,” 90,000 resi-

dents would be exposed to air, water, and noise pollution for one per cent of the city’s jobs. Health costs alone will be unaffordable as an increase of just one unit of particulate matter 2.5 will result in 11 deaths per year. The Union of B.C. Municipalities’ (UBCM) Resolution B 80 requests the province undertake a broad-based public-engagement process similar to that being used to amend B.C.’s Water Act and fairly engage First Nations and local governments to determine how best to modernize

the Mineral Tenure Act and related legislation in a way that ensures the full range of interests — including social, cultural, ecological and economic — are given fair consideration on the province’s land base. It is essential for the government of British Columbia to take immediate and decisive action on this issue. Further development of mining projects close to municipalities, such as the proposed Ajax mine in Kamloops, need to be put on hold for a maximum of three years until changes to the Mineral Tenure Act

are passed into law. Your words in that interview need to be applied to the modernization of the Mineral Tenure Act. If we are to believe what you say publicly, we need your support in acting upon the UBCM’s resolution. The revised Act must enshrine the rights of communities throughout B.C. to stop mining projects that will threaten citizens’ health and their environment. We look forward to your reply. Mary Kay and Phil Claydon Kamloops

A poetic look at the proposed Ajax copper mine Editor: In response to recent public-relations campaigns launched by KGHM, I would like to submit the following original verse:

(They’re just looking for a fight). Your old MTA still rules today O’er ev’rything in sight. We’ll build our mine, your law says it’s our right.

A Pit Mine at Your Door Let’s open up a pit mine, Right next to this old town. And we’ll make sure all those poisons Don’t leach down through the ground. We’re your “zero-harm” good neighbours Piles of tailings you will see; But don’t worry, mitigation is the key.

There’s some doctors in your city Telling tales of falling skies; ‘Bout the toxic dust created, And the danger to your lives. But 500 jobs, for local folks, (With salaries so fine) Will get those proven health risks off your mind.

Well, there’s some folks in your city Try to say that it’s not right To destroy those precious grasslands

So let’s have a conversation Based on good old common sense; And a little bit of science Gets most folks off the fence To believe our glossy promises Of happy times in store; There’s no problem with a pit mine

Hot Dog Sale!

Talasa developer files three lawsuits By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The developer of a multifamily residential development at Sun Rivers is suing a Vancouver firm that oversaw the project’s planning and finances. Cambri/Talasa, a partnership created in 2008 for the purpose of building condos at Sun Rivers, has filed a series of three lawsuits in B.C. Supreme Court against MDC Moores Development and its principal, Stefan Moores. A notice of civil claim sets out the partnership expected MDC Moores to add expertise in everything from master planning, to overseeing sales and market-

ing, to arranging debt and equity financing. Among the list of expectations by the developer was that MDC Moores “had the business expertise to make sure that the right planning and financial decisions were made and that the project stayed on target and on-budget.” The three lawsuits represent the three apartment buildings at Talasa. The first two sold out prior to the financial collapse and recession of 2008. Cambri/Talasa claims in the lawsuit MDC Moores failed in its advice, including that the head lease between the federal government and Sun Rivers Development Corp. was updated to allow buyers to access financ-

ing through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. The company also claims the Vancouver firm omitted GST liabilities in its studies and omitted information related to carrying costs of the sales centre and of commissions. MDC Moores “provided to the plaintiff [Cambri/Talasa] inaccurate, incomplete and unrealistically optimistic feasibility studies and project budgets,” the lawsuit claims. None of the allegations has been heard or proven in court. MDC Moores has not yet filed its statement of defence. Cambri/Talasa is seeking unspecified damages in its claim.

Kamloops workshop focuses on finding doctors In the quest to find family doctors, communities often find themselves competing with cities and towns up the highway — and Marg Spina thinks there has to be a better way. The Kamloops city councillor is president of the Southern Interior Local Government Association, which is sponsoring a one-day workshop on doctor recruitment for local-government administrators next week. Key to the day will be a presentation by Marilin States, a recruiting consultant based in Creston — and an expert who, if she can’t convince a doctor to relocate in her area, will work with the physician to find another B.C. location that might be a better fit, Spina said. “With communities competing for doctors, it’s

not a building process,” Spina said. “We thought it might be better to look at working in collaboration with each other.” There’s a long list of B.C. communities searching for doctors, Spina said, including Kamloops, Merritt, Logan Lake and Ashcroft. “Go to an urgent-care clinic and stand in line and you’ll see there’s a shortage here,” Spina said. Logan Lake is a concern because of its large seniors population. The town 45 minutes southwest of Kamloops has been left with a nurse-practitioner filling the void left since the town’s doctor moved away earlier this year. “We need to find strategies that work and not be competitive with each other,” Spina said.

CHAMBER PRESIDENT READY TO ENGAGE Aleece Laird takes the helm of board for 2014

Kamloops Chamber of Commerce board president Aleece Laird (left) and executive director Deb McClelland in the chamber’s downtown office. Dave Eagles/KTW

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

WO DECADES ago, she represented the city with a crown and a smile. Today, Aleece Laird is taking on a different leadership role. Laird, co-owner of advertising agency Fresh Inc., is this year’s president of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce. She said her role is about giving back to the community, something she and business partner Jennifer McKinney have made a concentrated effort to do over the years. While Laird has kept the business involved in Chamber matters, McKinney is an active Rotarian. “I’ve always really loved Kamloops,” Laird said. “I know it’s cliché, but it’s very friendly. You walk down the street and everyone says hi and makes eye contact. You don’t get that in a lot of other cities in Canada.” Laird moved to the region as a child,

when her RCMP officer father was stationed in Chase. After attending Kamloops Christian School for her highschool years, Laird went on to become the city’s Miss Kamloops for 1993, following it up with a turn as Miss Interior a year later. The Chamber presidency isn’t her first time at the helm of a similar organization. As a student at University College of the Cariboo, she headed up the student society. “I’ve always wanted to be doing something with my spare time,” she said. “I’ve always loved being active and engaged and involved.” Given her background, it’s not surprising where Laird hopes to take the Chamber during her time as president. “My thing, because I’m a marketer and I co-own an advertising agency, is all about how to connect people, how to clearly define what the message of the Chamber is and how it can benefit businesses and really getting that out this

year,” she said. That means explaining the benefits of the organization to new members, but also getting current members more involved. “You can belong to a chamber but, if you don’t engage with it, it doesn’t do you as much good,” Laird said. She said she will be encouraging members to explore committee options, which range from coming up with policies to pitch to governments to finding ways the business community can deal with social issues in the city. As part of the engagement push, the Chamber is creating a membership council. Composed of 16 Chamber members,

the council will phone other members a few times a year to touch base, talk about upcoming events and find out if they have concerns that should be brought to the organization’s attention. Also in the works is a presidents’ council, which will feature past Chamber presidents, including those who have moved from Kamloops to other parts of the country and can be called on for advice. Laird said that, while many of the presidents are no longer actively involved in the Chamber, they’re often happy to be contacted again. “People are really excited to be engaged again,” she said.

Blaze prompts fire-department talk By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The owner of Pinantan Lake’s general store said the blaze that levelled his business this month has prompted increased discussions about forming a fire department in the rural community north of Kamloops. “There’s been some talk since about a fire department in town,” Cory George told KTW. “Hopefully, the community rallies around getting it going.” On April 16, a fire destroyed George’s store — the only one in Pinantan Lake. The community about 40 minutes northeast of Kamloops has no fire department.

Neighbouring Paul Lake does have a volunteer department with a fire truck, but the Pinantan store is not in its coverage radius. When the fire started, there was no form of suppression. George said the site was cleared on Thursday, April 24. “We took absolutely nothing out of there,” he said. “It burned extremely hot with no way to cool it.” George said he’s still waiting to hear from his insurance company about what the next step might be — but there’s plenty of work to do in the meantime. “There’s lots to do,” he said. “We have to get

some drawings done and we’ve got to do some groundwater studies. “We’re going to be rebuilding something that was built and added to over the years. We need to do a bunch of work. It’s a positive outlook here from everybody.” “There’s been some talk about maybe holding a community meeting regarding it,” George said. “But, like I said, it’s very early.” George said he doesn’t want to guess as to when construction might start on a new store for Pinantan. “It’s way too early,” he said. “As fast as we can — that’s better for

Robbery victim admits to Facebooking accused By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

THE COURTS

A victim in what the Crown claims was an attempted robbery of a homeowner in May of 2013 admitted he looked up three accused men on Facebook after seeing their names in the newspaper. Robert McMillan testified on Friday, April 25, for the second day in B.C. Supreme Court, this time under cross examination. Rick Herd, Jordan McIntosh and Joel McLean are charged with robbery with a firearm. They are also charged with multiple counts of possession of a restricted weapon. Identity is expected to be an issue in the trial of the three men. McMillan testified on Thursday, April 25, that he was returning to his home on Dallas Drive with another man after doing renovations downtown.

When they pulled up in the driveway, a man came to his driver’s side door carrying a clipboard and knocked on the window. Moments later he pulled up his shirt to reveal a handgun. McMillan was convicted of possession of marijuana and possession for the purpose of trafficking in Saskatchewan six years ago. He said he doesn’t smoke marijuana today. Defence lawyer Don Campbell questioned McMillan on how he was able to identify the three men. “You went to Facebook and looked those people up, correct?” Campbell asked during cross-examination. “I did a little research to see who they are,” McMillan acknowledged.

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

But, he added, he did not rely on seeing their photos online. “It’s something I recall as well from that day,” he said. McMillan earlier testified he escaped while the men were distracted, sprinting across his yard and flagging down a passing pickup truck. Herd, McIntosh and McLean were arrested within a half hour in the Dallas area. The silver Honda Civic was found abandoned at Tumbleweeds Pub. Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan has said a silver duffel bag containing three guns and a set of brass knuckles, which was found on a Dallas property after the incident, was left there by one of the accused. The trial is slated to run for two more weeks.

tal door and threatened nurses at Royal Inland Hospital’s psychiatric ward will spend a further two months in jail after a psychiatrist determined he was capable of understanding his actions. Dwight Leng, 45, pleaded guilty to mischief under $5,000 and two counts of uttering threats. Leng’s treating psychiatrist called him “belligerent, loud and demanding,” recom-

mending he be sent for an assessment to determine if he was criminally responsible for his actions. If so determined, Leng would have been kept in hospital and under supervision of the B.C. Review Board. However, a second psychiatrist said Leng did not exhibit signs of psychosis at the time and was criminally responsible. Leng’s convictions

include assault, assault with a weapon and robbery. Provincial court Judge Roy Dickey said Leng’s moral culpability was on the “low end of the spectrum,” as was the gravity of his offences. But, he added, the public must be protected from Leng. He has already been in jail for two months. In addition to two more months in jail, Leng will serve one year of probation, including an

alcohol and drug ban and curfew. He must also take medication as prescribed. Leng has been described by treating psychiatrists as having antisocial personality disorder, occasional psychoses and increasing cognitive problems. RCMP were called in six times to RIH to deal with him. “No one should be treated the way Mr. Leng treated staff,” Dickey said.

OTTAWA — Canada is following the United States in once again stepping up the pressure on Moscow over the crisis in Ukraine. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said two Russian companies and nine individuals will face new sanctions. Harper said the latest round of sanctions comes in response to Russia’s continued actions to

Ukraine continues and Russia’s military aggression persists,’’ Harper said in a statement. “That is why we are imposing sanctions against an additional nine individuals and two entities.’’ In addition, the United States imposed sanctions on seven Russian government officials and 17 companies linked to Putin. It also revoked licences for some high-tech products used by Russia’s military.

The prime minister suggested more economic sanctions could be on the way unless Russian President Vladimir Putin follows through on an April 17 agreement that was designed to ease tensions in Ukraine. A half-dozen CF-18 fighter jets are also scheduled to depart today (April 29) from Bagotville, Que., to assist NATO operations in Eastern Europe. “The illegal occupation of

$9.2 million for railway-crossing upgrades CANADIAN PRESS

MILTON, Ont. — The federal government will spend $9.2 million this year to improve safety at railway crossings. The money is being made available as part of a cost-sharing agreement with railways and governments that have authority over local roads. Transport Canada said improvements could include installing flashing lights and bells, gate barriers and other devices at crossings. The Transportation Safety Board said there have been 658 accidents over the last 10 years at so-called passive railway crossings, including 59 deaths and 107 serious injuries. Studies suggest accidents and fatality rates drop significantly after grade-crossing improvements are completed. There is also money to encourage the closure of some railway crossings.

“This investment will enhance safety for pedestrians and motorists at over 600 locations across the country and help save lives,’’ Transport Minister Lisa Raitt said. Last year, the Transportation Safety Board said the federal government should conduct research into new low-cost alert systems to bolster safety at passive railway crossings. It made the finding in a report into a collision involving a camper van and freight train near Broadview, Sask., that killed four people in broad daylight in August 2012. The report said a Canadian Pacific Railway freight train travelling at 85 km/h sounded its horn and had its lights on, but struck the van broadside at a railway crossing that had only standard reflector warning signs. The report warned the risk of such accidents remains until better warning systems are required at railway crossings without bells, lights and gates.

She worked alongside her husband Art and their children in the family business for many years. Her greatest joy was her family. She took pleasure in hearing about all their activities and family outings. She loved to travel and she and Art travelled all over the world. She loved her weekly bridge games for many years.

Canucks’ owner Body of missing boater found in Georgia Strait buys Olympic units CANADIAN PRESS

CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — What threatened to be an Olympic-sized white elephant for the City of Vancouver has instead become a valuable asset. The city has sold its remaining interest in 67 condominium units in the Olympic Village development for $91 million to the Aquilini Group, owner of the Vancouver Canucks hockey team. The False Creek condos were built to house Olympic athletes attending the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, but the units didn’t sell after the event, the developer defaulted, a receiver was appointed and it appeared the city wasn’t going to be repaid the millions it had loaned. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said the sale is great news for city taxpayers, noting that not only has the debt been recovered, but an additional $70 million will go toward community amenities and public infrastructure. Francesco Aquilini, managing director of Aquilini Group, said the city has shown sound business leadership that has made the Olympic Village project an attractive investment and his company is happy to be part of the neighbourhood. The development, a former industrial site, was recently awarded the 2013 Urban Land Institute award for urban open spaces.

Bill Bilton Jr. isn’t giving up on the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack golf team. The picture isn’t quite as rosy for Alex Perkin and the university’s badminton squad. The two head coaches are still deciding what to do after TRU’s athletics department decided to withdraw its membership from the Pacific Western Athletic Association, in which golf and badminton were the only remaining WolfPack members. Bilton said he was notified of the decision about a week before the official announcement was made on Tuesday, April 22. Perkin, however, heard about his program’s demise on Monday, April 21. The move didn’t come as a complete surprise to either coach, but both were disappointed when word came down. Without PacWest membership, the future of both sports competing at the university level in the Tournament Capital is in doubt.

The golf team has managed to find some positive options in recent days, while the badminton team is facing harsh realities. “First, I’ll add that it’s not necessarily the end,” Bilton told KTW. “The end is just such a definite thing. I’m going to have to talk with Ken [TRU athletics director Olynyk], see what the deal is. But, if we can start our own club program using the TRU name — which, again, I’ll have to see if I can, but I’m pretty sure we can — there’s absolutely 100 per cent interest in doing so.” Bilton said he was inundated with calls, emails, text messages and tweets following the university’s official announcement. Alumni, athletes and other program supporters are pledging to help the team remain operational. X See PERKIN A23

Rick Brewster, 49, won the men’s 21-kilometre event with a time of 1:20:53, while Kimberly Lizee, 39, won the women’s race in a time of 1:46:41. In the 10-kilometre race, Justin Birks, 31, was the fastest man with a time of 36:08

and Emily Schultz, 25, won the women’s side, crossing the finish line in 39:56. Logan Hwang, 13, won the men’s fivekilometre race with a time of 18:31 and Chantel Jeffrey, 12, was the fastest female, with a time of 22:01. KTW was an event sponsor.

SPORTS BRIEFS

LAWN MOWER REPAIRS

Same old, same old in WHL championship The Edmonton Oil Kings and Portland Winterhawks are back in the Western Hockey League final for a third straight season. Brett Pollock’s second goal of the game 14:22 into the third period was the winner as the hometown Oil Kings defeated the Medicine Hat Tigers 4-3 on Saturday, April 26, to win the Eastern Conference final 4-1.

Brendan Leipsic had a pair of goals for the Winterhawks, who beat the hometown Kelowna Rockets 7-3 in Game 5 on Friday, April 25, to win the Western Conference final 4-1. The Oil Kings now face the Winterhawks yet again for the Ed Chynoweth Cup. Edmonton bested Portland for the Cup in 2012, but were beaten in 2013 by the

Winterhawks. Game 1 will be played in Portland on Saturday, May 3.

Raptors roll

DeMar DeRozan scored 24 points, Kyle Lowry added 22 and Toronto evened a first-round Eastern Conference series with the Brooklyn Nets at two games apiece. Toronto topped hometown Brooklyn 87-79 on

Sunday, April 27. Amir Johnson had 17 points for the Raptors, who started fast, relinquished 17-point lead, then shut the Nets down over the final five minutes to snap a 13-game road losing streak in the playoffs that went back 13 years. Game 5 is Wednesday (April 30) night in Toronto, with the series now guaranteed to return to Brooklyn on Friday,

May 2, for Game 6. Paul Pierce scored 22 points for the Nets, who were 3-for-17 in the fourth quarter and didn’t have a field goal after Pierce’s basket with 6:13 left gave them a 77-73 lead.

Rivalry renewed

The Montreal Canadiens are ready to add another chapter to one of hockey’s greatest rivalries.

After eliminating the Tampa Bay Lightning in four games, Montreal is preparing to face Boston in the second round of the NHL playoffs. It will be the 34th time the clubs have met in the post-season — more than any other two teams in North American pro sport — in a rivalry that dates back to 1929.

Kamloops has Venomous start to TOJLL campaign TOURNAMENT CAPITAL SPORTS

The win exacted a measure of revenge on Vernon, which downed Kamloops last season in the TOJLL final. Leading the way for the Venom on Friday were Boomer and Jorgensen, each of whom scored twice, and Monty Chisholm, who notched a goal and three assists. Dalan Etter picked up the win between the pipes on Friday. Etter was replaced

by Matt Hans midway through the second period on Saturday. Kamloops’ next action is on May 8 in Kelowna against the Raiders. The Venom next play at Memorial on May 15, when Kelowna is in town.

Double duty

The TRU WolfPack men’s and women’s volleyball teams have

a new assistant coach, Nathan Bennett. As a co-assistant coach, he will help with both squads, filling the role occupied formerly by Mike Hawkins, who is no longer with TRU. Bennett spent the past two seasons at Capilano University in North Vancouver in the role of head coach of the men’s volleyball team. He took Capilano to the Pacific Western Athletic Association title his first year and a fifth-place finish at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association championship. He was named PacWest coach of the year.

Local baseball players in for eye-opening trip X From A19

Though they may not be part of the most dominant baseball nation at the tournament, the Tournament Capital’s representatives are excited to play. “It was really exciting and really scary at the same time,” Lowes said of his selection. The Dominican trip will be the 18-yearold’s second international competition, having played in Washington with Team B.C. in 2009. “It’s a whole new level of baseball.” Lowes, who stands 5-foot-10, has experience at first base, in

right field and on the mound. He told KTW the most exciting part of heading to the classic is getting to “represent Canada and wear Canada on your chest.” Coulter, a 16-yearold pitcher known around Kamloops for throwing a no-hitter against the Burnaby Braves last season, is also feeling a mixture of excitement and anxiety in advance of the international trip. “I’m excited for it,” the 6-foot-4 righthander said. “It will be a good experience to play against kids from other countries, see what the

competition is like in other places.” Coulter added he’s hoping to get an understanding of what people in the Dominican Republic go through in their day-to-day lives. RiverDogs’ bench boss Sean Wandler understands better than most the lessons players can learn from events like the Latin America Baseball Classic — he has known other players who have gone on similar ventures. It’s might be difficult for his charges to understand it now, but the August trip has the potential to be a lifechanging experience.

“If you go places like the Dominican and you see how they play baseball down there, it’s just a different level,” Wandler said. “For those kids down there, they don’t take anything for granted — they play stickball in the streets, they’re constantly running around barefoot on the baseball diamonds, playing the game non-stop. “I think between that, and just going to a different country and seeing the different economic level there, and seeing that experience — just the life experience — I think it can be an eye-opener for these kids.”

Perkin: ‘People are pretty disappointed . . .’ X From A19

The group of golf supporters will meet in the next few weeks to talk about options and to plan the future. Bilton is considering establishing a club team that would play in invitational tournaments in the region or in the Royal Canadian Golf Association. The WolfPack would likely be playing against higher-level competition from schools in Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Bilton would also

have the luxury of making the team’s schedule. The six-year head coach said that sort of freedom would allow the team to do things like registering in fewer tournaments, instead offering scholarships to its athletes. “We look at one door closed, one door opened and maybe there’s the opportunity here to do something,” Bilton said. “I’m committed as a coach to endeavour to bring these guys to a better level with their golf but, at a better level as a productive human being, too. That’s the thrill I get out of it.” The tone isn’t as opti-

mistic with the WolfPack badminton team. Without PacWest membership, Perkin said the team would be forced to play in regional clublevel tournaments. The former playercoach said playing outside the league is unlikely to attract enough athletes to sustain a university team. “There’s no other league option or anything like that,” he said, noting the team would be forced to raise enough money to pay the PacWest membership fee. Perkin was forced to tell about 10 returning players there would be no season next year,

along with a couple of possible recruits in Matthew Downton and Matthew Chan. Both players — each of whom has earned national medals — were on the court for the Langara College Falcons this year and were planning to come to TRU to next season. “I know that we would have been able to have some notoriety in Kamloops with badminton, with those two guys coming here,” Perkin said. “So, I’m a little bit disappointed, for sure.” Perkin said he spoke to Olynyk on Thursday, April 24, about the decision. One concern the

coach has is what will happen to badminton athletes who came to TRU with the promise of scholarship money. The WolfPack golf team had two athletes on scholarship. Though Perkin and his athletes had a feeling their program was in danger, it didn’t make the news any easier to take. “They kind of knew. We had talked about it previously, but it definitely wasn’t met with joy or anything,” he said. “People are pretty disappointed and were hoping, obviously, for it not to go the way that it went.”

Midget AAA RiverDogs perfect after six games The midget AAA Kamloops RiverDogs are having a dream start to the B.C. Minor Baseball Association campaign. With 2-1 and 12-2 victories over the Tri-City Indians on Sunday, April 27, at the Canada Games Field on McArthur Island, the Dogs pushed their record to 6-0. Brendan Coulter and Riley Johnson were the winning pitchers for the RiverDogs. Kamloops is hosting a pair of doubleheaders this weekend on the Canada Games Field — against Cloverdale on Saturday, May 3, and against Chilliwack on Sunday, May 4. Game times on Saturday are 1 p.m. and

TOURNAMENT CAPITAL SPORTS 3:30 p.m. On Sunday, games get underway at 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

Comeback curtailed

The Kamloops Rattlers suffered a stinging loss against the Shamrocks in Armstrong on Saturday, April 26, in Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League play. After Rattlers’ captain Mark Jurista had tied the game at 10-10 with four seconds

remaining in regulation, Armstong notched an overtime winner to ruin Kamloops’ comeback bid. Recording points for the Rattlers on Saturday were Riley Donahue (4G, 1A), Jurista (3G, 2A), Nathan Woldum (1G, 2A), J.J. Woldum (1G, 1A), Lee Black (1G), AJ Lockwood (6A), Mike Smith (1A), Gavin McIntosh (1A), Russ McIntosh (1A) and Sean Marshall (1A). Smith was solid between the pipes for Kamloops, making 57 saves. The Rattlers will be in Kelowna on Friday, May 2, to play the Raiders. Kamloops is next at home on May 23, when Kelowna is in town. Game time is 8 p.m. at Memorial Arena.

Thorogood, 40 years later By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s not just the sky that’s crying. There are tyrannical tears of perspiration. Sweat pours off the face of George Thorogood, splattering onto his guitar slide before splashing onto the stage. His face contorts in curious ways, the aging rocker’s eyes squeezed closed, his audience wide awake. “The weeping willowwwwwwwww weeps for me,” wails Thorogood and his axe, man and instrument in sublime concert. Astounding stage presence for a man who’s barely present — he’s gone to that special place. If George Thorogood looks like he’s being whisked away into some sort of rock-and-roll utopia, losing himself in his own music, it’s because that’s exactly what’s happening. “Just imagine being paid to do what you love to do — what you would do for free,” said Thorogood, who moves it on over to Interior Savings Centre on Thursday, May 1. “That’s really the ultimate dream. “A lot of times when I’m on stage, if I look like I’m in a joyful mood, you’re correct.” George Thorogood and the Destroyers are in the middle of a 60-or-so show tour of North America, celebrating their 40th anniversary, four decades of hits such as Bad to the Bone, One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer and Who Do You Love. Perhaps the 64-year-old rocker from Delaware is able to keep going because he’s abstained from indulging too often in one Jack Daniels, one Glenfiddich and one Molson Dry (the Canadian beer he mentioned during an interview with KTW). “We take the party on the stage and we leave the party on the stage,” Thorogood said. “We’re there to throw a party,

not to have a party. “I learned from John Lee Hooker, who never expended unnecessary energy. I never underestimated the value of a good night’s sleep.” Thorogood knew from the age of 16 that he could make a living being a musical performer, but the state of rock and roll in the early 1970s gave him cause for concern. “I just really thought by ‘73, ‘74, rock was dead,” Thorogood said. “Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix were the thing and they were the last word in rock and roll. They took it to its absolute peak and after that it was like an impersonation of rock and roll. “Light rock was happening, James Taylor and The Eagles and John Denver and that stuff. This was before there was MTV, Classic Rock Radio, House of Blues and rock being in casinos. “I didn’t know that in about 15 years, waiting around the corner, was a complete rock revival, so to speak. We were in the right time and in the right

place each time.” After nearly a half-century of gear-jamming it across the globe, there has to be mornings when hopping a bus to the next city seems a tedious task. Thorogood has been to Kamloops before. He knows what to expect. The paycheques might not be what they used to and the turnstiles don’t churn like it’s 1985. But, when Thorogood says none of that matters, you believe him. “Let’s face it, 98 per cent of the people in the world hate their jobs,” he said. “They’re doing it for the money and they’re not happy people. “I’m going to work at a job that at least I enjoy doing, regardless of what it pays. “So, if you see me in some sort of utopian state of mind when I’m on the stage, of course I am. You ever see a guy hit a home run in a baseball game and he’s not smiling?” Kelowna-based Devon Coyote is the opening act on Thursday. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at ticketmaster.ca.

ANSWERS TO CROSSWORD ON PAGE B4

YOU KNOW CAREERS DO YOUR TAX RATE? Your tax rate is the percentage of income tax that you have to pay after calculating your taxable income. In Canada, the tax rate takes into account four different tax brackets, or segments. Taxable income is very simple to calculate; it is your total income, minus all allowable deductions and exemptions. This amount is the one taken into account when determining which tax bracket you belong to and therefore which tax rate is applicable. Every year, tax brackets are readjusted according to the rate of inflation. Visit the website of the Revenue Canada Agency (www.cra-arc.gc.ca) to find the tax rates in effect for the current year.

As well as federal tax bracket tables, there are also those issued by provincial governments. All Canadian provinces and territories have their own applicable tax rate tables that correspond with taxable income. All the provinces and territories have a progressive taxation system (a tax rate that varies with revenue) with the exception of Al-

berta, which applies the same tax rate to all its residents. What is the benefit of knowing your tax rate? Finding out which bracket you belong to may encourage you to research ways to reduce your taxes and increase your savings. Paying less income tax and saving more money is an interesting concept, right?

Model trains of all scales to be featured Friday By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Brian Kelly says his interest in model trains dates back to “just about the time I was out of diapers.” Living in his hometown of Belfast, Kelly says his grandfather used to take him down to the train station, show him the trains and teach him about them — and the lessons stuck. Ironically, Kelly says, this grandpainspired interest might just as easily have been about ships since he

was one of the estimated 2,000 men who built the Titanic. His grandfather’s part of the construction would have been seen in the woodwork in the staterooms. “My mother always said how my grandfather was devastated by what happened, all his work at the bottom of the ocean.” But, since grandpa loved anything with an engine, trains became the focus and Kelly continues it, not only at home — he’s doing more renovations to accommodate his collection — but at his

store, Kelly’s Caboose. He’s not unusual in the hobby and expects to see many more like him at Calvary Community Church when the city hosts the annual National Model Railway Association’s Pacific Northwest model-train meet. It’s the second year in a row Kamloops has welcomed the event that will see the church filled with large and small railway layouts, model trains of all scales and ages — steam and diesel — train movies and plenty of memorabilia. One of the highlights

will be a display by model-train enthusiasts from Rossland, Kelly says, who used photographs and blueprints to recreate a miniature version of the community’s heritage downtown, complete with plaques with all the historical details on buildings and, of course, trains running throughout. The exhibit took second place in the awards given at Supertrain 2014, the country’s largest model-train show, held earlier this month in Calgary. There will be an exhibitor from Vancouver with O-trains

running on their threerail tracks, as well, and some speakers talking about trains, including Barrie Sanford, who will talk about the history of Canadian Pacific. The show is open

to the public on May 2 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on May 3 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and children and $15 for a family of four. After the bills are

paid and the church receives a donation for lending the venue, any profit earned from the show will go to the Kamloops Heritage Rail Society to help pay for repairs to the steam engine 2141.

Adulthood complex, shown in youth novels X From B1

While the novel’s many, necessarily dated, pop culture references might be more attractive to an adult audience, the author’s recreation of the sensory experiences and anxieties of teenage life is timeless. Rowell’s devotion to popular culture as a vehicle of self-discovery and self-expression is more contemporary in Fangirl, a novel about twin sisters Cather and Wren, who in 2011 transition from highschool to the University of Nebraska together — but also very much apart. Having shared their whole lives together, the more extroverted Wren is anxious to leave her childhood behind and start forging a separate identity and experience from her twin sister, with some difficult consequences. Meanwhile, introverted Cather (aka Cath) experiences severe anxieties and is resistant to the idea

of negotiating new social circles. She arrives at university (that perennial space of transition) with all of her teenage passion for the pop culture sensation known as the Simon Snow book series in tow. (Rowell has acknowledged that this is an homage to the power and influence of the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.) In the end, as illustrated by Rowell’s clever interweaving of the experiences of Cath and Wren with excerpts from both the Simon Snow books and Magicath’s developing online oeuvre, Cath does manage to find a way to negotiate some of the changes in her life, especially in terms of both old and new relationships with a variety of people. The overriding reminder in both of these novels is that young adulthood is a complex transitional phase and that the defining issues and experiences of that phase are relevant to, rather than separate from, adult life.

Enclave makes even long hauls a treat By Jim Robinson

METROLAND MEDIA wheels.ca

he journey to Detroit for the annual auto show presents some interesting challenges when it comes to driving there. I’ve seen everything from people in shorts going for a morning jog, to axle-high snow in 1999 that paralyzed Detroit to the point the hotel I was staying in ran out of food. But freezing rain is the big worry, and I know because I was born and raised there. So what’s needed is something big enough to hold enough luggage and stuff for four days, tall enough to travel through snow and slush and, most important, all-wheel-drive. This year I drove a Buick Enclave AWD Premium and it was perfect for my needs. Power comes from GM’s workhorse, the 3.6-litre DOHC direct fuel injection V6, in this case turning out 288 hp and 270 lb/ft of torque through GM’s other stalwart, a six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel-drive (FWD) is standard while all-wheel-drive (AWD) is an option. Fuel rating is 12.7/8.4L/100 km city/ highway for the FWD and 13.0/8.8L/100 km for the AWD. I put more than 1,200 km on the Enclave AWD Premium and did 9.1L/100 km as an average with most near or at the speed limit. With Phlash Phelps on the satellite radio and the tri-zone climate control set at 22 C, there was no need for

The 2014 Buick Enclave combines great engineering and luxury with ride quality that is good around town and great on those long hauls.

speed — just sit back on cruise and enjoy the ride, which I did. Crossing over into Michigan en route to Detroit, there is a stretch that is heavily worn and pot-holed due to the high volume of transport trucks using the Blue Water Bridge. Besides the bumps, it had snowed slightly — just enough to put a sheen on the pavement. The AWD system on the Enclave reacts when it detects slip and directs torque to the wheel(s) with the most traction. In low grip situations such as slush or snow, it can send up to 50 per cent of engine power to either front wheel or up to 85 per cent to either rear wheel. And the amazing thing is you rarely feel it.

QuietTuning is the name Buick gives to its efforts to control noise and vibration intrusion into the cabin. Using things such as acoustic glass and triple window seals, the journey is less tiring on the nerves than hearing the hum from four snow tires, especially on a long trip. I once described the little Buick Verano, which was the first time I experienced QuietTuning, as the

quietest car I have ever driven. Now the Enclave’s interior is about as big as you can get so naturally there is more volume where noise can be amplified. And driving alone is not unlike being inside a huge drum. Yes, there was some sizzle (the sound tires make in the wet) from the snow tires, but it was much less than the Japanese people mover I drive at home.

For me upfront, the Premium comes with all the latest safety aids such as lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring. Also part of the package was Forward Collision Alert, which on my tester was either extremely sensitive or extremely worried about my driving style because it was flashing big red warnings when I even got close to a vehicle in front.

With the auto show over, I drove around my old Windsor neighbourhood marvelling how all the houses were quaintly different, which was very much the style in the middle of the last century. I stopped with a coffee at a small park at the foot of my old street and walked around where I played baseball and touch football in my youth with a group of friends, some of whom have passed.

But as always, the Detroit River still flows on. On the way back to the GTA, I put the Enclave on cruise and held it there for most of the way. This is where it really comes into its own. For long distances, say to Florida, you can emerge from the drive relaxed, which for many, justifies a CUV like the Enclave. Starting price for the vehicle as tested with Premium trim and AWD is $54,045 and that includes about 50 standard features like rear backup camera and sonic parking assist, stability control with enhanced rollover protection, IntelliLink infotainment/connectivity system and eight-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support. But my tester also came with a bevy of options such as the aforementioned sunroof adding, eight-way front passenger seat (both heated and cooled), trailering package and more topping out at $63,920 including a $1,650 shipping charge. Next time you’re thinking of stepping up to a combination of world-class built quality and luxury and you need extra space, stepping up to the Buick Enclave might be your best direction.
