Ajax mine footprint to be moved south of city By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

KGHM Ajax has unveiled a new proposal it hopes will change public attitudes toward the proposed copper mine and allow it to begin construction in as little as two years. The reconfigured mine plan involves moving the footprint farther south from the city and includes elimination of a tailings stack in favour of a conventional tailings pond located to the southeast. The tailings pond will cover Goose Lake,

which the company described as a slough that has a maximum depth of one metre. The joint venture between Polish-based KGHM and Vancouver junior partner Abacus Mining & Exploration Corp. is forecasting it can receive approval from the provincial and federal ministers in early 2016, with a target to begin construction in July of that year. Details were made available on Wednesday, May 28, to Kamloops media outlets, including Kamloops This Week, on condition they

would not be released publicly until today (May 29). Company officials said changes are designed to address community concerns, including dust and visual impact. “Most of the changes are a result of listening to the community,” said project manager Warner Uhl, who outlined the reconfigured mine to reporters in a series of meetings. The most significant change will see a tailings pond, a man-made lake, created using waste rock to form an earthen berm and dam.

The tailings pond will move more than five kilometres southeast of the formerly proposed 200-foot tall dry tailings stack conceived under the original plan in 2010.

The plan for the dry tailings stack will be abandoned. “The full height would have been 200 feet,” Uhl said. “The concern with the Coquihalla

[Highway] was if there had been a slide, it would have impacted the Coquihalla.” Elimination of the tailings stack also means the mine will not be visible from the highway. “The biggest advantage with wet [tailings] is we get away from this being close to the

Coquihalla.” The proposed changes that more tightly pack the operation and its rock dumps and associated facilities will also help address dust concerns, said Uhl and Nicola Barton, KGHM’s environmental-permitting manager. The proposals will now be sent through the harmonized federal-provincial comprehensive environmental assessment. KGHM plans to submit its complete application in March of next year. X See TWO A2

COVER PAGE STORY

Two properties purchased for new Ajax plan X From A1

“We’re not anticipating any additional environmental studies, but it’s their call to make,” Barton said of the agencies. KGHM Ajax has purchased properties from two families — Antoniak and Little — in order to facilitate the new mine footprint. “We’ve treated these people fairly and with respect,” company spokesman Yves Lacasse said. “No one was forced to sell their land.” Ajax officials announced in August 2013 they were working on a new mine plan that would move the footprint to the south of Aberdeen. They also said the pit would be expanded,

along with ore production. But, Uhl said, the ultimate circle of the enlarged historic Ajax pit will not change from the original plan. Mine walls will be steeper, however. There are no changes to the proposed 60,000 tonnes-a-day production target, nor the anticipated 20-year mine life employing about 500 people. Uhl acknowledged costs will be higher than the most recent capital-cost estimate of about $800 million. The company has done engineering on the proposed tailings pond but continues engineering work on other proposed mine facilities.

‘It’s not about the wages’ Stories by Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Garry Bergquist can count on one hand the number of lunches he has spent not helping students in the past 20 years. Heather Murdoch has eight special-needs students in a Garde 9/10 class of 26. Kaleigh Stankevich knows she has students who need support workers in her Grade 1 class — but, at that young age, she said, most have not been diagnosed and the assistance isn’t there. Ron Ste. Marie wonders how his students will learn about literacy and a love of books with a librarian in the school one day a week. “It’s not about the wages,” said CUPE employee Arlene Fauteux as she walked a picket line with teachers on Wednesday, May 28. “It’s about the students.” Mary Angus, who teaches with Stankevich at Dallas elementary, said the students her colleague spoke about are “what we call the borderline. We know they will get a [special-needs] designation, but they don’t have it now.” Both maintained they weren’t on the picket line at their school, standing in the cold and rain and waving at honking drivers passing by, because of a fight between their

union and the government over wages. Both said they want to see more money put into the province’s public-education system. Ste. Marie, who teaches at Beattie School of the Arts’ secondary campus across from the school district office on Ninth Avenue, pointed to his school and adjacent South Kamloops secondary. “This government is underfunding education by $1,000 a student, the lowest in the country,” he said. “This hill has two big schools with 1,500 or more students. That’s an extra $1.5 million for this hill. Think of what we could do for the students with that money.” Ste. Marie said it’s bad enough his school only gets a teacher-librarian on Wednesdays — a CUPE staff member oversees the library the rest of the week — but that librarian splits his other four days between two elementary schools. Fauteux has been a support worker at Beattie for the past 10 years. She said in that time, she’s seen the fundamental makeup of classes at the secondary level change. “Students coming to high school all seem to be much more individualized in learning and not just those with special needs,” she said. “It’s hard for teachers because they’re

not teaching to a class, but to individual students.” Bergquist, who has been at Valleyview for two decades, came to Kamloops 23 years ago after a four-month teachers’ strike in Fort St. John in 1991, the longest in the province. He’s leaving in the midst of this strike, he said, having taken a job with Quality Schools International with a posting in the fall in Kazakhstan. A science and math teacher, Bergquist recalled a time when the school was about half its size and had a full-time science-lab assistant. Now, with more than 900 students and five labs, he has an assistant one-half day a week. With his Grade 10 students required to write the provincial science exam next month, he said he had to make a decision on how much time to plan the labs and how much to give to extra help to prepare them for the test. “We had a full-time librarian then and now we have a half-time librarian . . . That’s the effect of what they’ve done to education. “I remember Christy Clark, 12 years ago, ripping up our contract,” he said, referring to the then-education minister’s decision to strip the union of the right to bargain class size and composition and take $336 million from the public-education system. “This strike is all on her.”

If the goal of the BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) was to put pressure on administration, “they have succeeded,” said Kamloops-Thompson school district Supt. Terry Sullivan. Noting administration is providing supervision during breaks, recesses and lunches, Sullivan said administration will also ensure every graduation ceremony happens. “These are a once-in-a-lifetime experiences and I don’t want them to regret they didn’t have one,” he said. Sullivan said decisions will need to be made if the job action doesn’t stop, noting if rotating strikes continue, more decisions — like the one that led to cancellation of yesterday’s (May 28) district track meet — will need to be made. Sullivan also took issue with statements from the teachers’ union that are governing how its members deal with the lockout imposed by the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA). Sullivan said teachers can still take part in any board-sanctioned volunteer or extra-curricular activity . The BCPSEA is clawing back five per cent of teachers’ pay on days when the teachers refuse to meet with administration or do out-of-classroom supervision. It is taking back 10 per cent on days involving rotating strikes. Ministry of Education spokesman Ben Green said “as long as the usual district approval processes are followed, including the filing of any required paperwork, teachers are welcome to continue to undertake student extracurricular field trips of any type. “A special exemption has also been provided for extended field trips of any type that take teachers and students away from the school for long periods of time. All of these trips remain free to continue, with no deduction of pay to the teachers.” The exemption exists for longer trips that have already been planned, Green said, but will not cover any field trips or activities that are initiated during job action. Scott McCloy of WorkSafeBC added: “In this current situation — a partial strike/lockout and the extracurricular activity being performed by the worker is sanctioned by the employer — the worker is covered by WorkSafeBC.” Sullivan said the employers’ bargaining group had also confirmed teachers taking part in any boardsanctioned activity outside of school hours will have liability coverage. Teachers can remain in school buildings during recesses, breaks and lunches, he said, but they cannot do any work during those times.

City of Kamloops managers get salary raises By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

City of Kamloops managers are getting a raise on par with the 7.5 per cent increase granted to their unionized colleagues earlier this year. City CAO David Trawin said management staff will get a raise of one per cent this year, followed by raises of 1.5 per cent in 2015,

two per cent in 2016, one per cent in 2017 and two per cent in 2018. The first increase is retroactive to Jan. 1 of this year. Council agreed to the raises at a closed meeting earlier this month. Trawin said raising management salaries at the same pace as union wages is par for the course in the city. At the same time, he said, management salaries were

also adjusted to keep them as a “p-50 average.” That is, on par with market rates. “Every two or three years, we look at that and we make corrections to make sure all jobs are in the average,” Trawin said. “Ones that don’t seem to be, we adjust up. Sometimes we create new jobs because of vacant positions.”

This year, one of the big issues was increasing the salary offered to the city’s traffic engineer — a position that has historically had a high turnover in Kamloops. The last time management salaries were adjusted in 2011, the tweaks led to 15 to 20 per cent bumps in pay for the city’s directors. “You’re not going to see those dramatic increases as you saw

three or four years ago,” Trawin said. Instead, he said, most management positions that come in below market value will be bumped up an extra slot on the salary grid. “If someone was 10 per cent low, no, they’re not getting a 10 per cent increase,” he said. Managers will also see benefit improvements similar to those granted to CUPE members.

Dever confirms she will seek re-election in fall By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

After holding out on making a decision for months longer than her colleagues at Kamloops City Hall, Coun. Nelly Dever has decided to seek re-election in November. “I’ve begun a lot of projects and they’re not complete,” the firstterm councillor said on Tuesday, May 27, adding she hopes to use a second term to finish

her work on the city’s urban agriculture plan and to move forward with sprucing up the Tranquille Road airport corridor. Dever also plans to unveil at a later date a new platform focused on improving the health of the city. While she didn’t offer specific details, Dever said she wants to see the city tackle addictions, homelessness, mental-health issues and “overburdened medical

Council wants mining info open house By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Four years after the controversial proposed Ajax mine first hit public consciousness, City of Kamloops officials are looking for a refresher course on the environmental-assessment process. City council has agreed to ask the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) to offer a public workshop in the late summer or early fall on the environmental-permitting process for mines. The idea came from Coun. Arjun Singh, who said he’s not sure some of the statements he has made to the public about the permitting process for the proposed copper and gold mine are correct. Singh said he’s been approached many times by people who think city council should comment on the mine

FREE FITNESS DAY

now, rather than wait until Ajax has submitted an application for environmental review, as is the preference of the majority of councillors. “I keep on telling people that, after the application, which is my comfort level, is just as good a time to give input as before — and I want to make sure I’m telling people the right thing,” Singh said. Though Singh initially proposed the EAO make a presentation to council, Coun. Pat Wallace said that would be a waste of time when there is no new information about the proposed mine available. “I’m allergic to dust and dog dander. I’m still not going to take a position on whether there’s going to be dust or more dust until a permit is put in,” she said. “I’m not comfortable doing anything more to wedge myself into the debate.” Coun. Ken Christian dis-

agreed, arguing the process around the mine can be confusing, especially since KGHM has not progressed quickly with its plans for the mine south of Aberdeen. “This has the gestation period of three elephants, so I’m thinking we need to go over it again,” he said. Coun. Nelly Dever said she is also concerned about “rattling the energy” that surrounds any conversation about Ajax but, after a suggestion from Mayor Peter Milobar, she amended Singh’s initial motion to the open-house proposal, which passed by unanimous vote. “I think it would be much more effective and there would be a lot of people attending,” Dever said. “And the sooner, the better.” KGHM is set to make a major announcement about the mine on Thursday, May 29.

The city’s celebration of fitness is back for a second year. On Saturday, June 7, the Tournament Capital Centre will offer a free group fitness class featuring zumba, yoga and pilates moves in celebration of National Health and Fitness Day. This year’s event will also feature special healthy activities for kids. The event will begin at 9 a.m. and runs until noon.

Mom describes coming home to limp baby By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

It was the evening of Valentine’s Day two years ago when Cassandra Gunn came home from work as a designated driver to her husband and two young daughters, one an infant prone to prolonged crying jags. Earlier that evening, the couple exchanged pleasant texts that included checking when Cassandra would be home. There was no mention of the kids. Gunn testified in B.C. Supreme Court on Tuesday, May 27, that moments before she got in the door, husband Michael Beakley texted her, “So what’s the good word?” — seemingly in reference to when she would arrive. The Crown alleges Beakley physically abused the infant daughter, Hunter, that evening while Gunn was away at work. He is charged with aggravated assault and criminal negligence causing bodily harm against Hunter, who was seven months old in February 2012. When she walked in the door of their Barnhartvale home, Gunn said she asked Beakley, “Hi honey, how was your night?” “He said it was OK,” Gunn testified. “He then asked, ‘Can you look at this?’” She described Hunter as being unresponsive, her skin grey in colour. “I watched him [Beakley] pick Hunter up five or six inches out of the crib and let her fall back to see

how limp she was. “I knew immediately something wasn’t right.” As Gunn held her infant daughter, Hunter’s eyes rolled and she made an unnatural bicycling motion with her arms. Minutes later, Gunn was calling 9-1-1. Within hours, she would be on a flight with Hunter to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. “I just kept saying, “Hunter, Hunter baby,” Gunn described, choking back tears on the witness stand. Beakley’s lawyer, Bob McRoberts, asked Gunn if Hunter had a “dazed look on her face” several days earlier. Gunn answered with a firm, “No,” but did acknowledge Hunter had a cold or flu and was fussier than normal the night Gunn left for work. Referencing Feb. 12, 2012, McRoberts said to Gunn: “I put it to you that you were looking after Hunter and slapped her on the face and said, ‘Shut the f--k up.’” Gunn denied the suggestion, saying she had never even spanked her baby. On Monday, May 26, the mother testified Hunter was a difficult baby who would cry for hours. Nothing worked to console her. On Feb. 15, 2012, as she sat at the hospital while Hunter underwent brain surgery to relieve swelling, Gunn said she started to wonder if something had happened on the night she was away at work. She said Beakley told her their daughter did not fall. Instead, Gunn testified, he offered that

Mounties make arrest

A Prince George man facing child-porn charges and the subject of an RCMP public alert earlier this month has been arrested in Kamloops. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said Joseph Sackaney was picked up in the Tournament Capital and is now being held in custody in Prince George to face charges of accessing and possessing child pornography and possession of child pornography for the purpose of distribution. The charges stem from a search warrant executed at a Prince George home last fall.

“maybe he’d wrapped her too tight in blankets,” and Hunter had stopped

breathing. Gunn testified Beakley told her he

had then unwrapped Hunter, placed her on the floor —when

she resumed breathing — “and ‘enjoyed the peace and quiet’ —

his exact words.’” The trial is scheduled to continue this week.

Manslaughter plea expected in 2012 death of wife A Kamloops man charged with seconddegree murder in connection to the 2012 stabbing death of his common-law wife has apparently accepted an 11th-hour plea bargain, meaning he won’t stand trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops next week.

Instead, Gerald Raymond Peters is expected to plead guilty on Monday, June 2, to the lesser charge of manslaughter, according to court records. The 50-year-old was arrested on Oct. 20, 2012, after emergency crews responding to a reported domestic dis-

turbance at a home in the 600-block of East Shuswap Road, near the entrance to Sun Rivers, found the lifeless body of Deborah Anne Joseph, 48. Just weeks before Joseph was killed, Peters was placed on an 18-month probation term stemming from a

separate domestic dispute in 2011. He also served two weeks in jail in 2008 after breaching the terms of a probation order following another domestic-assault conviction. Peters has been in custody since the time of his arrest.

Fifteen months for assault of woman By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops First Nations elder with a long history of violent and sexual assaults has been sentenced to more than a year in jail. Benjamin Archie was handed a 15-month jail term in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Tuesday, May 27. In January, a jury found the 72-year-old guilty of simple assault, but not guilty of sexual assault. The Crown had alleged Archie picked up a 32-yearold woman on Tranquille Road in North Kamloops on Sept. 4, 2012, offering her a ride to Kelowna. The jury was told he violently raped and beat the woman on the forest floor off a dirt logging

road outside Merritt. Court heard she later jumped out of Archie’s moving vehicle on the Okanagan Connector and was helped by a passerby and taken to hospital. A doctor found no evidence of sexual assault. Crown prosecutor Sarah Firestone said at trial Archie was unable to become erect during the alleged assault. The jury came back with a not-guilty verdict on the sexual-assault charge without the knowledge of Archie’s lengthy criminal history — including a conviction following a 2006 incident with similar allegations. In that case, Archie drove his then-wife to a remote area outside Kamloops and beat her until she agreed to have sex with him. He was handed a four-year

prison sentence. In 1999, he was sentenced to 18 months in jail after being found guilty of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl at three B.C. powwows. Archie also has a lengthy criminal history dating back to 1966 for non-sexual offences, including manslaughter in connection to the death of a 22-year-old Canim Lake woman. Had Archie been convicted of sexual assault, Firestone said, the Crown would have likely sought a dangerousoffender label — meaning he could have been jailed indefinitely. Instead, Archie was handed a 15-month jail sentence. He was given six months’ credit for time served, meaning he has nine months left to serve behind bars.

Both sides in tiresome dispute need to cultivate compassion

HEN BOEING 767 airliners crashed into the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001, about 8,000 schoolchildren and 200 teachers in the area of lower Manhattan ran for their lives. A kindergarten teacher shepherding the kids from the frenzy of the terrorist attacks as the buildings burned later wrote that, as she helped lead the youngsters to safety, her calling came to her with clarity. It was at that precise moment she realized, though her life was in danger, she could not run faster than her students. It was then she knew, with a certainty previously unknown, that she was a teacher. That tale was one told by Linda Lantieri as she spoke about cultivating compassion to a room full of people whose careers are deeply connected to the children they help, be they earlychildhood educators, infant-development workers, counsellors, clinicians or teachers. Lantieri is an expert in social and emotional learning and has a list of accomplishments that would fill this newspaper page. She is, to put it mildly, a brilliant mind with brilliant ideas about how our kids should be taught based on the fact emotional learning will create better people and lead to higher academic performances. Lantieri’s Inner Resiliency Program teaches just that, having helped 10,000 students around the world better manage their emotions. Lantieri spent many an hour

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom MUSINGS working with students and teachers haunted and scarred by their experiences on Sept. 11, 2001. As she noted, she first demanded to work with the teachers in the recovery process because, if an adult does not get there, they cannot hope to help the kids on the journey. The gist of Lantieri’s message during her keynote address at this week’s Fostering Compassion conference at Thompson Rivers University was that children need to be mindful of others’ needs and require social and emotional learning to be prepared for life. What stands in stark contrast to Lantieri’s important lesson is the actions by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Liberal government through its proxy, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association. While this Fulbright Scholar, a woman who has spent time at Mother Teresa’s Home for the Dying in Calcutta, a woman who has helped the most helpless among us, a woman whose work in schools in Harlem has inspired books, urges us to teach our kids compassion along with the three R’s, those to whom we entrust

our children are showcasing the exact opposite. While Lantieri criss-crosses the globe cultivating compassion and, hopefully, helping to produce a better generation, we in B.C. are plagued by a third decade of two sides that make the Hatfields and McCoys look live a torrid love affair by comparison. Lantieri opines there are many aspects of our modern schools mired in the archaic past. She notes we continue to burden students with a life of tests rather than gift them with tests of life. But, that’s her argument for better experiences in the classroom, which is a whole separate discussion. Her devotion to the whole child — yes, the student, but also so much more of that person — is admirable and inspiring. It would have done a world of good to have had Jim Iker and the BCTF executive, along with Premier Christy Clark, Peter Cameron and the BCPSEA crew, in that room at Thompson Rivers University this week. Based on the tiresome and stubborn character both sides have displayed for what seems like an eternity, it is unlikely they would have benefited from a lesson in learning to listen to others, from a lesson in compassion. However, at the very least, they would have witnessed videos of children, mere kindergarten kids, demonstrating more compassion — and more maturity — than what we have seen in the legislature and on picket lines for the past 30 years. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

We can do better than $45K for a month The city’s decision to spend $45,000 on a temporary taxcollection site on McArthur Island has quite rightly drawn anger from taxpayers. With the intersection at First Avenue and Victoria Street outside city hall torn up as crews work to realign the area, access to the building to pay property taxes may be inhibited. With property taxes due to be paid by July 2, and with June always a busy month as upwards of 9,000 property owners still pay their taxes in person, city council approved the temporary (June 2 to July 2) and expensive office at the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. Letter writers, one of whom is a former municipal finance officer, have offered plenty of alternatives to spending all that money on such a short-term solution to the access problem at city hall. So, too have some commenters online at kamloopsthisweek.com. What boggles the mind is the fact the city is not being more aggressive in encouraging property owners to pay their taxes online or at their banks or credit unions. We understand a large segment of the population remains uncomfortable with using computers for financial transactions. But, surely, a vast majority of those aforementioned 9,000 residents can be persuaded quite easily to visit their financial institution, rather than city hall, to pay the property-tax man. For many, it will likely be a shorter journey than travelling to city hall. The city intends to spend $12,000 of he $45,000 on advertising the temporary tax-collection office on McArthur Island. Would it not be wiser to spend that money on advertising the fact residents can pay at banks and credit unions? Finally, why are there not drop boxes in various city facilities that can collect property-tax cheques? There certainly is not a dearth of facilities in which such drop boxes could be installed for minimal to no cost.

James’ letter spells it all out

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

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Letter: Teachers: We should all have their fortitude:

“Teachers in B.C. have been allowed to fall so far behind, through more than a decade of imposed contracts and government contempt, that when they are placed in the position of simply asking for a settlement that puts them on equal footing with the rest of Canada, it looks like they are asking for the moon. “When firefighters who sleep all night and only work 150 days per year can get 20 per cent raises (Delta) and, with no post-secondary education, they make more than $100,000 per year, the argument about supply and demand falls short. “Too bad appreciation and compensation are based on perception of glory, not the real value of the work performed.” — posted by Albert Speer

Re: Letter: Give homeowners permanent options to pay taxes:

“‘Tossing’ money at a performing-arts centre or ‘tossing’ money at a new, sprawling city hall with enough parking for a thousand mega-cab diesel pickups? “Which one? “I will not want to ‘toss’ for the diesels, that’s for sure.” — posted by Lyman Duff

Teachers deserve all of our support Editor: It was with a sad and heavy heart that I read Ken Sailer’s online post on May 22 regarding the ongoing labour dispute between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government. When did public perception become so biased against teachers. When did the stereotype of teachers being lazy and “only interested in their pocketbook and paycheque” begin? I have been connected with education for the past 70 years and, at present, I frequent a school at least once a week.

I taught in the days when Sailer seems to imply teachers earned their wages when they taught more than 30 students and taught more than one subject. Let me tell you, I did not work harder than the teachers I observe today. In fact, compared to the expectations placed on teachers today, I had an easy time of it. The pressure society puts on teachers today is incredible: Special-needs students integrated into regular classrooms without assistance they need; students with severe behavioural problems remain in regular classrooms without consequences;

students no longer have to pass in assignments; failure is not an option. I would urge Sailer to visit a school to observe what is really happening. Every time I have an opportunity to visit a schoo,l I see hardworking, dedicated teachers who care deeply about the students they teach. I would urge all parents to support teachers in every way they can during the dispute with the government. Your child’s education is at stake. Shirley Smith Kamloops

Editor: Hire Ben James. I don’t know who he is, but his May 22 letter to the editor (‘Those of a sound mind must defend attack on book’) is not only the best written and most well-reasoned letter I have ever read in KTW, it’s perhaps the best of anything I’ve ever read in KTW. To further illustrate, I did not have a firm opinion on the controversy surrounding a Kamloops parent upset that The Perks of Being a Wallflower is being studied in English 10 classes. I was almost ready to read the book in question as a way to gather enough information to decide. After reading James’ letter, I no longer have to. Robert Spanell Kamloops

Yes, let’s talk ‘just the facts’ on proposed Ajax mine Editor: Les Evens’ letter of May 13 (‘On Ajax, let’s have just the facts, man’), he speaks to the need “to have just the facts” on KGHM’s proposed Ajax copper mine. Excellent. Let’s delve a little deeper into the facts. Evens said the Ajax deposit south of Aberdeen is NI 43-101 “compliance proven,” but he may not be aware securities regulators have found many deficiencies in NI 43-101 reports. (NI 43-101 stands for “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects within Canada.”) Last year, the Ontario Securities Commission issued a report in which it “found an unacceptable level of compliance with Form 43-101” and that 80 per cent of the 40 NI 43-101 reviewed “had some form of non-compliance with the requirements” (page 1, Ontario Securities Commission Report on Staff’s Review of Technical Reports by Ontario Mining Issuers, June 27, 2013). KGHM Ajax’s 2012 feasibility study mentions two cost factors that appear to significantly understate the actual operating costs of the mine — worker

costs and power costs. The per capita worker cost is stated as $82,710.74 US (at the time of the study, the U.S. and Canadian dollars were at near par). The 2010 Price Waterhouse Coopers report on the B.C. Mining industry stated average mine wages were $108,100. Either KGHM intends to pay its workers at least $25,000 less than the going mining wage or the feasibility study significantly misrepresented the actual cost of mine wages in British Columbia. For a 500-person work force, this represents a difference of $12.5 million per year (wage and benefit costs on pages nine to 11 in chapter 21 of the Ajax feasibility study). The average per kilowatt hour (kWh) rate is stated on page 21 as 3.5 cents. At the time the study was released, the industrial bulk power rate was 4.6 cents kWh. For the amount of power Ajax is expected to use, this represents an understatement of about $5.2 million a year in electricity costs. These two cost factors alone appear to downplay the operating costs of Ajax by $17.7 million a year — or $407.1 million over the expected lifetime of the mine. Evens said the Ajax NI 43-101 report

“was the carrot . . . that brought in KGHM investment.” Was this because KGHM believes it will get away with paying below-standard wages and cheaper than regulated rate power? Or did KGHM mistakenly overlook these major cost discrepancies when it was reviewing the Ajax feasibility study before buying the carrot? Finally, Evens said federal Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq “stated the proposed Ajax mine doesn’t need a federal review.” This is incorrect. The proposed Ajax mine is subject to a federal comprehensive study. Aglukkaq doesn’t believe Ajax should be subject to the most rigorous environmental assessment available in Canada — a panel review with public hearings. All of us, whether we are for or against this proposed mine, should be demanding such a thorough independent panel review. If residents of Kamloops were granted that standard, we would have “just the facts” on Ajax. Fawn Knox Kamloops

Court learns about curbers Pinantan man charged with trafficking, possession of stolen property, describes reselling vehicles By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the words every buyer looking at online classifieds wants to hear: One owner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I usually advertise as one owner â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just about everything I have,â&#x20AC;? Kevin Peel testified in B.C. Supreme Court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get more response with that in the ad.â&#x20AC;? Peel, who estimates heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sold hundreds of vehicles in his lifetime, testified in his own defence on Wednesday, May 28. He is charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000 and trafficking in stolen property. The Crown alleges Peel knowingly tried to sell a stolen 2006 Campion runabout boat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or turned a blind eye to its origin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when he was visited by undercover Mounties in November 2012. RCMP were alerted by the boatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rightful owner, a Calgary firefighter who saw his former boat advertised on Kijiji in Kamloops. It went missing from a Peachland condo parking lot months earlier. Peelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s testimony drew aside the curtain on the world of curbers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or brokers, as they call themselves.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell me about the game,â&#x20AC;? defence lawyer Sheldon Tate asked his client, who has bought and sold cars, trucks, boats, trailers and commercial vehicles for nearly three decades. Mounties who posed as buyers testified earlier in the trial Peel told them he had owned the boat since 2006. He advertised it for $11,900. In reality, he had purchased it from another curber in the Kootenays for $6,200 only months earlier. The trail of lies included information told to Peel himself. Documentation showed the Kootenays curber paid $5,000 for the boat several weeks earlier in the summer of 2012 but told Peel he was selling it to him at a loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was told [by the Kootenay curber that he paid] $7,500 and he was giving it to me for $6,000,â&#x20AC;? Peel said in court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the game.â&#x20AC;? Peel, who lives in Pinantan and once owned a used-car lot, said his day starts with a tour of local car lots, where he is looking to do a deal to purchase two or three cars at a time. Today, compact four-door sedans and diesel pickups are in demand.

He also looks online for private deals. At any one time, he has as many as 15 vehicles on his property. Profits can be huge. He testified he recently sold a Harley Davidson motorcycle for $17,500. He paid $7,500 for the bike. He can easily read buyers to tell if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eager or need a better price. He also has a story about every vehicle. Peel said he tells buyers what they want to hear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell all kinds of stuff when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m selling stuff,â&#x20AC;? Peel acknowledged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I say sometimes it was my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a joke around the lots that all my stuff is one owner.â&#x20AC;? Peel also testified about the practice of â&#x20AC;&#x153;bridgingâ&#x20AC;? used in private purchases and subsequent sales. He told Justice Sheri Donegan if he purchased a vehicle from her in a private sale and then sold it to his lawyer, he would leave out the buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portion in the transfer tax form. In that way, the middleman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Peel in this case â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is never in legal possession of a vehicle and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pay sales taxes. The trial is scheduled to conclude this week.

Judge rules against medical-pot argument By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A provincial court judge has rejected an argument that Mounties should have asked for a medicalmarijuana permit before searching a driver’s van at the roadside. Cory Eld was arrested by RCMP in Barriere in November 2012 after he was stopped at a roadside check. He was charged with possession of marijuana. The RCMP member who went to Eld’s window to question him testified he smelled a strong odour of unburnt marijuana and saw a tarp stretched over the entire length of the van’s cargo area. Mounties found 73 one-foot tall marijuana plants inside.

Defence lawyer John Conroy argued Eld’s constitutional rights were breached because police who smelled marijuana neglected to ask Eld if he had a licence to possess marijuana through Health Canada — something that may have explained the smell.

Therefore, Conroy argued, the search was illegal. “It’s not difficult for the officer to say, ‘Do you have a permit?’” Conroy argued at the hearing in February. “You don’t have grounds to believe he’s committing an offence until you

know he doesn’t have a permit.” However, provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley ruled police are not required to ask about a permit. “I do not believe that the police officers needed to determine whether Mr. Eld had a marijuana licence before arresting him,” Cleaveley said in his ruling, adding Mounties’ suspicion there was marijuana under the tarp is “somewhat inconsistent with Mr. Eld being in lawful possession.” Cleaveley, ruling Eld was lawfully arrested, also cited a B.C. Supreme Court decision that police are not required to rule out other possible explanations for the smell of marijuana. Eld is scheduled to be sentenced at a later date.

A CALL TO HALT THE VANISHING LINES By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek,com

The association representing Interior municipalities wants government to do something about vanishing highway markings, calling it a threat to drivers. However, a senior manager with the Ministry of Transportation said elimination in the past five years of oil-based paints creates a challenge to longevity of highway lines. A motion from the Southern Interior Local Government Association will go to the Union of B.C. Municipalities meeting in late September, asking the ministry to utilize a “long-lasting material that is visible both day and night and will adhere to the pavement for a minimum standard.” “Oil in line painting, I think has been discontinued,” said Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper who, along with the mayor of Sicamous, brought forward motions on highway marking. “What they’re using instead, I’m not sure. “By the time we get

through summer and into winter, when it’s dark, lines are almost impossible to see.” Kamloops driver William Lipsey recently wrote to Minister of Transportation Todd Stone. “In my experience, British Columbia has the worst road markings anywhere,” Lipsey wrote. “Weather conditions do contribute to this situation and dismal maintenance is resulting in dangerous road conditions for many months of the year.” Paint available for highway marking changed in 2010, when oil-based materials were no longer available for environmental reasons. “We hear lots about it, especially at this time of year,”

said Mike Lorimer, ministry manager for a region stretching to the Alberta and U.S. borders. Lorimer acknowledged the new paints do not have the longevity of oil. The ministry’s materials group in Victoria is experimenting with paints, including the amount of glass beads and application rates. In addition to the challenge with new paints, highway contractors in B.C. are now equipping some snow-clearing blades with carbide tips, causing additional wear. In the quest for longer-lasting highway markings, the ministry has tried inlaid thermal painting, a process that sees asphalt ground out and paint laid inside.

“Those lines last all year,” Lorimer said. “It’s incredibly expensive. You can’t use it on 27,000 kilometres of highway.” Inlaid thermal paint was utilized for the entrance to TransCanada Highway westbound at the Columbia Street exit. Lorimer estimated the pricey paint was used for about one kilometre. It was also tried on the Coquihalla Highway near the snowshed, where, Lorimer said, they did not get the longevity anticipated. Lorimer said the ministry continues looking for solutions. It has also utilized roadside reflectors on guardrails to help drivers better visualize the road.

healthy landscapes, healthy living

proper lawn care Have a lawn you can feel good about. Here are three lawn care tips that will save time, money and water:

1. Mow High Leaving grass 5 – 7.5 cm (2-3”) tall, shades the roots and helps prevent evaporation. Grass grows deeper and stronger roots that can overpower weeds. Avoid cutting off more than 1/3 of the grass height.

2. Grasscycle Leave grass clippings on the lawn when mowing. Eliminate bagging and raking and reduce watering and fertilizing. 3. Water Properly Water deeply, but infrequently. This means watering 1 - 2 days per week, but when you do, give your grass about 2.5 cm (1") of water. As with mowing high, this also produces deeper stronger roots and helps the grass withstand dry periods. Other practices that will encourage a healthy lawn: Dethatching – Aerating – Topdressing – Overseeding - Fertilizing Try corn gluten meal to manage weeds. It is an organic fertilizer that prevents the germination of seeds, however, it does not control existing weeds.

Red Collar seeks support The former Rivers nightclub is looking to welcome drinkers once again and Kamloops city council is looking for public feedback on the plan. David Beardsell, former co-owner of the Nobel Pig, wants to open a new craft brewery and tap room, called Red Collar, in the building at 355 Lansdowne St. downtown. Because the liquorprimary licence for Rivers was cancelled in 2013 — allowing the building’s former owners to expand capacity at their other nightclub, Cactus Jack’s — Beardsell is seeking a brewery-lounge endorsement for the property. The licence would allow the sale of beer made on the property and some food, but would prevent Red Collar from selling spirits or beer made elsewhere. Minors with adult supervision would be allowed in the tap room, which would be open from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., five days a week. Council has the option of recommending for or against the new licence, but it will first take comments from the public. The city’s social planning council has already indicated it supports Beardsell’s application.

Polls show teachers have support By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A student got off a city bus by the two secondary schools on Ninth Avenue with two large containers of coffee and three boxes of donuts. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of support teachers received on Wednesday, May 28, as they walked picket lines in Kamloops, said Beattie School of the Arts teacher Heather Murdoch. While there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of parents joining teachers as they put in their time in the fourday rotating strikes called by the B.C. Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation, many were stopping by their local schools with coffee, pizza, sandwiches, cookies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even a batch of chow mein at NorKam secondary. Some businesses also made sure teachers and support staff respecting the lines â&#x20AC;&#x201D; CUPE Local 3500 staff did not go to work today â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with Fresh is Best sending out bags of nachos and salsa, Nandoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dropping off wraps and Reubinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bistro sending sandwiches. City buses did not stop at their usual spot in front of Valleyview secondary because of the pickets and members of the B.C. Nursesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Union joined at some strike locations. There are also students at some schools, including Bert Edwards Science and Technology school, Stuart Wood elementary and Beattie School of the Arts (both campuses). The backing of those on the

picket line is backed up by the latest Angus Reid poll that shows public support is tipping toward teachers as the dispute with the provincial government continues. In an online survey conducted on May 23 and May 24, 41 per cent of respondents said they are inclined to support teachers, compared to 30 per cent who back the government. Twenty-two per cent said neither deserves support. Filter the results to parents or caregivers of children in the public-education system and the numbers change to 51 per cent supporting the teachers and 28 backing the government. Fifteen percent said neither deserves support. The poll showed 65 per cent of respondents believe the lock-

out imposed by the province through the B.C. Public School Employersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association is unreasonable, a number that grows to 69 per cent of parents and caregivers with direct involvement with the education system. A majority â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 57 per cent of parents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also feel these contract disputes between the government and teachers should go to binding arbitration rather than negotiation. The poll shows the results tend to follow political-party lines. Past NDP voters say they support teachers three to one over past Liberal voters (62 per cent versus 22 per cent). The gap is greater between NDP and Conservative supporters (51 per cent versus 13 per cent).

Here is the secret to the success of TREC

EARNING doesn’t always take place in a traditional classroom setting. When it comes to alternative education in School District 73, learning is about choice, flexibility and key relationships. Some students require extra support — academically or emotionally — to supplement their educational plan. At Twin Rivers Education Centre (TREC), there is no shortage of help as the centre strives to assist students in overcoming any barriers that may impede them from gaining an education. TREC, as the hub of the KamloopsThompson school district’s alternate education, supports almost 1,000 students each year. The range of programs available at TREC is designed to suit individual student needs within a wide age range, variety of lifestyle and challenges faced. There are no prerequisites or requirements for someone looking to continue his or her education. Graduation is the

JOAN COWDEN View From SCHOOL BOARD end goal for all students attending TREC. The effort from students and staff is well worth the end result — each year, over 100 program attendees receive their graduation diploma. TREC programs are available for teenaged students to continue their education course by course, gain work experience or assist with the transition to high school. For students serving a suspension for drug, alcohol or behavioural issues, TREC offers a directed suspension. The program has successfully helped students serve their suspension in a safe environment with available counselling services. As part of their suspension, students are expected to participate in community service. In the past, this has helped the Kamloops

Food Bank, the New Life Mission and the Salvation Army. One of TREC’s many satellite programs, Osprey, supports students struggling with substance abuse who have been involved with the legal system. The program is partnered with the Phoenix Centre in Kamloops. For young mothers planning to complete their high-school education, the First Steps program delivers class upgrades, including a lifeskills class to develop as parents. An on-site day care is available to help mothers focus on and maximize their classroom time. To support First Nations students, the Four Directions program offers the regularity of a secondary-school program, which includes cours-

es focused on First Nations culture. Students attending this program participate in a range of traditional activities and celebrations. Adult learners hoping to obtain their high-school diploma will always be welcome to attend the district’s Street School to receive one-on-one instruction. There is no age restriction for students hoping to get their Adult Dogwood Graduation Certificate. Street School also works in partnership with the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre to provide an education to inmates during their incarceration. Despite the difference in programs at TREC, all staff members subscribe to the same ideology — student success does

not occur unless there is a relationship established between the student and his or her educators. The support and dedication of each staff member has helped many students meet their educational goals. All 31 staff members are managed by the outstanding leadership of TREC’s principal, Kent Brewer. Staff includes two administrators, teachers, a learning-assistance teacher, a counsellor, several certified educational assistants, First Nations education workers, a First Nations family counsellor and a literacyoutreach worker. The centre’s strong network and commitment in its efforts has helped hundreds of students attain their educational goals, ranging from updating a course, to develop-

Imagine No Religion 4 a huge success Organizers already preparing for fifth conference in 2015 BILL LIGERTWOOD Rational THOUGHTS

UR IMAGINE no Religion 4 conference, which was held on the Victoria Day long weekend, was a big hit with all who attended and with our distinguished lineup of talented speakers. More than 200 people attended from across Canada and as from far away as Texas and Pennsylvania to listen to some educational and entertaining speakers. Carolyn Porco, in charge of the imaging team on the Cassini project currently orbiting Saturn, was the hit of the event with her jaw-dropping

images and emotional talk. As one of our other speakers noted, Porco came in on one plane and her brain required another one. We also heard from Jerry Coyne, author of Why Evolution is True and a number of other books, who discussed how science and religion are incompatible. Jerry Dewitt told his emotional story of his journey from 25 years as a pastor in the southern U.S. to atheism. Shunned by his family and friends, Dewitt now works with other clergy who have lost their faith — and there are many, many such people in Canada and the U.S. Our keynote speaker, Eugenie Scott, former executive director the National

Centre for Science Education, spoke on the issue of the teaching of creationism in science classes and the science of climate change. We were also treated to an exclusive screening of the documentary film The Unbelievers, followed by a Q&A with Lawrence Krauss and Gus and Luke Holwerda, the film’s producers. It was an amazing weekend, to say the least.

Amped about the Arctic apple

On another note, I see there seems to be some concern in Kamloops about the new Arctic apple, a fruit genetically modi-

fied so it won’t turn brown. What an awesome idea. Some folks are up in arms over this, which I find quite astounding. Again, emotion and misinformation seem to trump science. The science is pretty clear on this issue — there is little if any danger in eating these apples. So, go ahead and bake a pie. Don’t let hysteria get in the way of a truly cool scientific advance in the field of genetics. In fact, the science is pretty clear on all these genetically modified organisms (GMO) and, apart from what companies like Monsanto are doing with Roundupready crops, GMO are safe. But, please, don’t take my word for it. Look it up yourself or come to Imagine No Religion 5 next

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

Dallaire to resign from Canadian Senate CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Liberal Sen. Romeo Dallaire, a career soldier best known in Canada as former commander of the United Nations’ ill-fated peacekeeping mission in Rwanda, is resigning — not retiring, he insisted — from the upper chamber. Dallaire’s last day in the Senate will be June 17, after which he intends to focus attention on a growing portfolio of international humanitarian work. Dallaire said the decision has nothing to do with either the shadow of scandal that has loomed over the Senate for more than a year, or with the Rwandan-born post-traumatic stress disorder that has haunted him for 20 years. “I have submitted my resignation to the Governor General with a torn heart because I have served here nine years in the Senate and the work here was meeting the challenges that I hoped [for],’’ Dallaire said. “The international dimension of my work has shifted my sense of duties from the Senate here and the nation to the

international sphere.’’ Dallaire, a former lieutenant-general who retired from the Canadian Forces in 2000, was appointed to the Senate in 2005 by then-prime minister Paul Martin. He made headlines in December when he

fell asleep at the wheel of his car and crashed into a traffic barrier on Parliament Hill — an accident he attributed to the stress of the coming Rwandan anniversary. Dallaire still bears the mental and emotional scars of bearing witness to the bloody genocide that erupted in the African country in the spring of 1994. As the world marked the tragedy’s 20th anniversary last month, Dallaire complained bit-

terly about lessons he said have gone unheeded — including his sense the Conservative government wants little to do with the UN. However, he insisted that has nothing to do with his decision to leave. “The PTSD was not a factor in my resignation,’’ Dallaire said. “The way I’m looking at it, I’m going to be travelling more and more engaged internationally than I am right now, so I’m not leaving one job to find time to do other things. “I’m leaving one job because I’ve got a more demanding job.’’ Dallaire has long used his role as senator to champion the needs of military veterans and he said he believes the Senate continues to play a vital role within Canada. “It’s come to the public,’’ he said of the Senate’s newfound prominence in the Canadian consciousness, although he acknowledged “the angle may not be the most positive one, for sure. “There’s no doubt in my military mind that this country needs that second chamber to bal-

ance out the other one,’’ he said, referring to the House of Commons. Senators should con-

tinue to be appointed, not elected, he added. Dallaire also recently pressed the

Conservatives to build a replica of the Vimy Ridge monument, known as Mother

Canada. in Gatineau, Que., across the Ottawa River from Parliament Hill.

Climate-change legal shot fired CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Environmental groups have fired legal warning shots at major energy companies over their alleged role in funding climatechange denial and blocking climatefriendly legislation. Greenpeace and the World Wildlife Fund have sent letters to international and Canadian companies, asking how they manage public communication on climate change. They say spreading misinformation could leave company officers open to legal liability. Keith Stewart of Greenpeace Canada said the letters are the first step in a long-term campaign to use the law to prevent the energy industry from delaying action on climate change. He said the strategy was inspired by the ultimately successful campaign to make tobacco companies liable for sowing doubt about the health effects of their products.

The letter has been sent to five Canadian companies: Suncor, Talisman Energy, Husky Energy, EnCana and Canadian Natural Resources. The letter has also gone out to 45 multinationals, including many with operations or subsidiaries in Canada.

Anti-spam law on its way But, CRTC says it can’t respond to all complaints CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A new law designed to help unclog Canadians’ email inboxes takes effect on July 1, but the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) is warning it won’t be able to respond to every complaint it receives. The new federal antispam legislation requires businesses get written or oral consent before they send emails or other digital messages to consumers. Companies must also clearly identify themselves in each message and allow consumers to unsubscribe from digital mailings. “We were pleased [with the drafted legislation] because we thought [the government] had, after many years, grasped that the fundamental problem with all unsolicited marketing — and email is no exception — is that, unless you ask for it, you probably don’t want it,’’ said John Lawford, executive director of the Public Interest Advocacy Centre. But, Internet users may actually receive an influx of commercial emails in the days leading up to July 1. While companies have a three-year grace period to confirm consent with consumers they had previously signed up for mailing lists, many are racing to do so by the end of June. Some businesses are concerned the methods they had used to populate their existing mailing lists may not be fully compliant with the new rules. Businesses that violate the new law could face financial penalties of up to $10 million per violation, while individuals could be fined up to $1 million per infraction. However, the rules are not completely cut and dry and even some legal experts are struggling to interpret them, according to David

Fraser, a privacy lawyer who has been advising businesses on how to abide by the law. “It has a whole bunch of exceptions and a whole bunch of not well-understood or welldefined conditions,’’ Fraser said. “It’s not user-friendly for business people, not by any means.’’ Fraser said commercial emails are no longer a major issue for most consumers thanks to the effectiveness of spam filters and unsubscribe tools. “Spam has mostly been fixed, by and large by technology,” he said. “It no longer is the problem it used to be. The stuff that’s a problem is fraud or phishing to scam you into providing your personal information. “[The law] lumps together into one category a legitimate email message from a local real-estate agent with a

fraudulent email from a Nigerian prince offering to repatriate his inheritance and I think those two are very different and should be treated in a different way,” Fraser said. Michael Geist, a professor at the University of Ottawa and the Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law, doesn’t think it’s too onerous for businesses to comply with the new rules, especially since concessions were made to get it enacted. “Just about everyone in the process had to put a little bit of water in their wine. There was certainly a fair amount of compromise,’’ Geist said. “It seems to me they’ve carved out quite a lot of space for correspondence that I think most people feel is legitimate and have also given enough of a phase-in period for

most businesses.’’ While Fraser said he’s heard rumblings that enforcement will be fierce, the CRTC said it simply doesn’t have the manpower to aggressively respond to every complaint. Manon Bombardier, the CRTC’s chief compliance and enforcement officer, expects there will be hundreds of complaints pouring in every day. “We don’t have the capacity to look at them all. It would not be efficient to look at them all, so we need to be strategic,’’ she said. Bombardier said the CRTC will focus on the most severe types of violations, noting responses to complaints will range from written warnings to financial penalties or court actions. In addition to emails, the new law also prohibits businesses from sending unsolicited messages to social media inboxes.

Samson — the Bible’s original superhero

UPERHEROES. Batman, Superman, Spiderman, the Hulk, Thor, Captain America, and so on. Our culture seems to find these muscle-bound fictional characters very appealing. They have movies, TV series, comic books and merchandised images on every conceivable item from T-shirts to lunch boxes and action figures. So, what is it about these characters that is so intriguing? Other than big muscles, and extraordinary physical skills, they all have a heightened sense of justice and endure life-threatening risks to make sure oppression is overcome, evil is defeated and the innocent are saved from destruction. One Biblical character that seems to fit the superhero mould would be Samson. The story of Samson is found in the book of Judges. His mother was barren, a huge social disgrace in ancient Israel. She is not named in the text (known only as the wife of Manoah), but rabbinic tradition calls her Zelelponi.

CHRIS KEMPLING You Gotta Have FAITH Zelelponi is visited by the angel of the Lord, who announces she will give birth to a son who will deliver the nation of Israel from the oppression of the Philistines (ruling over Israel at this time). But, the angel gave her some very strict instructions on how Samson should be raised. First, Zelelponi was to avoid all wine and other fermented drinks and refrain from eating any ritually unclean foods prior to his conception. Furthermore, she was never to cut Samson’s hair “because the boy is to be a Nazirite, set apart to God from birth.” A Nazarite was someone who took a strict vow of obedience to God.

“Nazar” is Hebrew for “set apart.” The person taking the Nazarite vow had to refrain from consuming anything coming from a grape vine: Wine, grapes, grape juice, seeds, vinegar, raisins. They were also forbidden to consume any other kind of fermented drink (e.g. beer or mead). The second prohibition was against cutting the hair — they were to let their hair grow long until the fulfillment of their vow. The Sikhs of today have these two Nazirite requirements. The third Nazirite prohibition was against contact with dead bodies — even if the body was that of a mother or father. And, if someone died suddenly in their presence, they would have to shave their hair off and start their vow all over again. These injunctions were all to demonstrate publicly that they were devoted to God. At the end of their vow, the Nazirite would offer specific sacrifices at the temple, shave off their hair and include it with the burnt offering. There are three recognized types of Nazirites: Those taking

a temporary vow, those making a permanent vow and Samson. Samson was in his own category, probably because he was an atypical Nazirite, particularly in the dead-body department. His slaughters of the Philistines were legendary. When he lost a bet obligating him to provide 30 sets of clothing to friends and relatives of his Philistine wife, he killed 30 other Philistines and used their clothes to settle his bet. And, when his father-in-law gave his wife to another man, he allowed himself to be captured and delivered to the Philistines, but snapped the ropes tying his hands like “charred flax” and killed 1,000 Philistines with the “jawbone of an ass.” Another of his legendary feats of strength was when he was in Gaza consorting with a hooker (again, not your typical Nazirite). The leaders of Gaza hoped to kill him, but he left in the middle of the night, tore the gates of the city out of their moorings and carried them on his shoulders to the top of the hill overlooking the Hebron (about nine miles away). Samson met his doom at the

hands of a beautiful seductress — Delilah. The lords of the Philistines offered her a large bribe if she could discover the secret of Samson’s great strength. She badgered him and nagged him until he finally confessed that his power came from his Nazirite vow of uncut hair. After lulling him to sleep in her lap, she calls in a barber to snip his locks. The Philistines captured him, gouged out his eyes and put him to work grinding in the prison. Later, the Philistines had a great party in their temple and decided it would be fun to get Samson to perform for them to heighten his humiliation. The temple was crowded with 3,000 people including hundreds on the roof. Samson called out to God to restore his great strength and pulled down the temple columns he was chained to, crushing himself and all his enemies in one fell swoop. “Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived.” Samson was a superhero, but a flawed and tragic one. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Registration open for CMHA ride Reigstrations are being accepted for the Ride Don’t Hide community bike ride in the city on June 22. The fundraiser, put on by the Canadian Mental Health Association, is aimed at strengthening and supporting the mental health of women and their families. It will be held in 20 cities in four provinces and the national goal is to raise $800,000. The event is not a race but a ride open to all ages and abilities. It starts at Centennial Park in Westsyde at 9:30 a.m. — late registrations will be accepted at 8:30 a.m. — and travels along the Thompson River toward Riverside Park. There are a variety of distances, including five, 10 or 20 kilometres. The ride was started by Vancouver school teacher Michael Schratter, who did a solo bike ride around the world to fight the stigma associated with mental illness. He

headed out in August, 2010, cycling 40,000 kilometres and raising $100,000 for youth and children’s programs with the Canadian Mental Health Association. The name comes from his own choice to deal with anxiety attacks as a teenager by riding his bike. For more information, go online to ridedonthide.com/bc/ride/ kamloops or email kamloops@cmha.bc.ca.

Valley First lends hand

As B.C. food banks struggle to meet increased demands on their resources, Valley First Credit Union extended a helping hand during Hunger Awareness Week (May 5 to May 9) by raising close to $3,000 and collecting 700 pounds of food for local food banks. The efforts of Valley

First employees went directly to Feed the Valley, Valley First’s signature cause supporting 11 food bank partners — including Kamloops Food Bank — operating in B.C. During Hunger Awareness Week, employees and members alike were encouraged to make monetary or non-perishable food item donations to benefit local B.C. food banks. Valley First also took to social media, pledging to donate $2 for every like, share or retweet of its Hunger Awareness Week posts and tweets. Since its March 2010 launch, Feed the Valley has provided food banks across B.C’s Interior more than $615,000 and in excess of 56,000 pounds of food thanks to the efforts of Valley First employees, members and community partners.

EFORE HE was the B.C. champion, before he owned the Kamloops Boxing Academy, before he became the Canadian and Western Canadian cruiserweight champion, Ken Huber was a drug addict. And it was boxing that saved his life. “I kind of started as just a fat, out of shape, overweight guy who kind of thought he was tough and I went into a Toughman [boxing] competition and got my ass whooped,” Huber says, recalling his start in the sport nearly 10 years ago. “I decided that I wanted to be better than that, that I wanted to prove to myself that I could do something a little more with what I had.” Huber had just come to Kamloops at the time, a 22-year-old looking for direction and a purpose in his life. He had chased the big money in Alberta for a while, but wasn’t happy. He came to Kamloops to be with family. Looking back, he says he was a “lost soul” and didn’t know what his next step was. Huber was six months sober before he ever stepped into a boxing gym and the heavy-duty mechanic was looking to stay that way. He was at the end of an 18-month string of heavy drug use that began with marijuana and escalated to cocaine and crystal meth and he knew it would be hard to stay clean. Even today, tempta-

tions and people from his past seem to find their way into his life. That’s where boxing came in — the sport changed his lifestyle completely. Not long after he started hitting the heavy bag, diet and exercise became Huber’s priorities, with the rest of his life soon following. His mood improved and his outlook on life became more positive. He had found his calling. Huber was no longer the lost soul who first strapped on the boxing gloves. “Without boxing as

an outlet, I honestly could probably tell you that I wouldn’t be here today,” Huber says. “It gave me a new focus, it gave me something to work towards, something to achieve, something that wasn’t just going to be handed to me. I knew it wasn’t going to be handed to me. I had to earn it.” Now 30, Huber is owner of the Kamloops Boxing Academy and a decorated athlete, holding the Western Canadian, Canadian and B.C. titles in the semiprofessional Combsport, the B.C. Combative Sports Association.

He will also defend his Canadian title later this year in Ontario. Kamloops’ Judith Pelletier will also be fighting in Kelowna. “He’s fairly green,” Huber says, looking ahead to his fight against Caldwell. “He doesn’t have

the resume that I have, but I fought him on short notice a couple of months ago and he won a split decision in a three-rounder, so this is going to be a great rematch.” With changes in Huber’s life have come changes in his focus. Though competing is still a priority, the brotherhood and relationships he is developing are more important. Boxing is a far cry from the violent and hate-filled sport some perceive it to be, he says. His focus has also shifted to his gym and

how he can pass on life lessons to his students. Huber feels many of his students are able to relate to him, especially those facing their own demons. He’s honest about his troubles and tries to pass on advice and support. For Huber, the gym isn’t about money or turning a profit. It’s about helping people avoid the mistakes he once made. “There were a lot of sleepless nights and a lot of long days, just a horrible lifestyle — horrible lifestyle,” he told KTW.

“If I can change one person’s life in the way that boxing has changed mine, I would consider my life successful. “If you’re struggling and you need a hand up, that’s what we’re there for,” he continues. “When I say in the future I want to get more into coaching, that’s more the aspect — just taking somebody from being down in the dumps, down and out, to bringing them back on top and showing them that there’s more to life than what you see right in front of you.”

The Kamloops squad will be coached by TRU WolfPack men’s soccer head coach John Antulov –– a KYSA product –– and the association’s technical director, Ciaran McMahon. Edmonton sits ninth in the NASL standings. The NASL is widely regarded as being one step down from Major League Soccer.

Ronaldo’s celebration was despicable

RISTIANO RONALDO JUST HAD TO HAVE THE SPOTLIGHT. After being a non-factor for 120 minutes, the game already in the bag with Real Madrid up 3-1 on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final, Ronaldo scored from the penalty spot. His celebration was disgraceful. It was a teaching moment for Kamloops Youth Soccer Association parents — “Little Timmy, that’s what you don’t do when you score against an already beaten opponent.” The whole shirt-off thing only bothers me because it was premeditated. When he was tripped up in the box, Ronaldo couldn’t wait to put one past crestfallen Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and embarrass an Atletico side that left it all on the field. You could see his chest puffing up as he snatched the ball and placed it on the circle. The flashbulbs, the attention, the women — he just had to have it all. For those who don’t know,

MARTY HASTINGS The Tattle of Hastings the penalty spot is 12 yards away from a net which is eight yards wide and eight feet high. It’s a big target. Yes, it seems much smaller when the pressure is on, but it wasn’t when Ronaldo scored, his team holding a two-goal lead in the game’s dying seconds. With a bit of luck, KTW reporter Andrea Klassen might have beaten Courtois from the spot — the point being a simple fist-pump would have sufficed, Cristiano, and less Hulk Hogan flexes for the cameras would have been a good idea. When Brandi Chastain ripped her jersey off after scoring the winning penalty for the U.S. against China in the women’s World Cup final in Pasadena, Calif., in 1999, that

was a different story. And no, not because I’m a heterosexual man who thought her sports-bra was sexy. It was OK by me because it was a natural reaction, spurred on by what she called the greatest moment of her career, notching the winning marker for her country on the world’s biggest stage. Chastain called it momentary insanity. She said she wasn’t thinking about anything. I’m not sure I’d ever advocate the tarp-removal celebration but, in a situation like that, I can live with it. Ronaldo knew what he was doing — attempting to cement his legacy, having a history of underperforming on the biggest stages. They’re going to remember this, the Portuguese footballer must have been thinking. He is one of the best to ever play the Beautiful Game, but that was an abominable display and Ronaldo should be ashamed. The Tattle of Hastings appears in KTW on Thursdays.

George, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Courtenay and Kelowna are among the cities rumoured to be interested in hosting camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there not to like other than the fact you have to drive three-and-a-half hours?â&#x20AC;?

Kamloops is also promoted in game programs and on the Jumbotron at Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home games at BC Place Stadium and the city receives $10,000 in tickets, which are sold or given to charities for fundraising.

Tournament Capital co-ordinator Sean Smith told KTW. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if I would go down the permanent road, but I know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finding everything they need here.â&#x20AC;? Camp first came to Kamloops in 2010 on a three-year deal with an option for 2013, which was exercised. The Leos announced on Feb. 14, 2013, they would stay in Kamloops through 2014. Smith and Jeff Putnam, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports development and business operations manager, confirmed on Tuesday, May 27, that camp will be held in the Tournament Capital in 2015. KTW asked Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; general manager Wally Buono about the campâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term future in the River City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going forward, we just have to see if there is interest and every impression I get is very favourable,â&#x20AC;? Buono said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five years ago when we came to Kamloops, we thought it was going to be a short-term thing, bounce around so you keep yourself relevant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, the opportunity there has been really, really good and this is going on our fifth year and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longer than that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is there interest from other cities?

Buono raved about the facilities at Hillside, Thompson Rivers University and the Tournament Capital Centre, each of which are within walking distance, although golf carts are often the preferred method of transportation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have people from the NFL come and tell us how impressed they are with the facilities,â&#x20AC;?

Veterans of the HMCS Uganda/Quebec will meet for their annual reunion in Kamloops in September.

Uganda/Quebec reunion will attract Navy vets By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

HEN VETERANS OF THE Royal Canadian Navy’s HMCS Uganda/Quebec meet in Kamloops in September, it will mark the first time the military ship’s annual reunion — this one marking 70 years since the vessel was acquired from Britain’s Royal Navy — has been held in the Tournament Capital.

Also noteworthy is the fact it could very well be the last time Uganda/Quebec veterans ever hold an annual reunion. Kamloops resident Doug Walters, who served on the ship in 1955 and 1956, is organizing the event. “I was on the last two cruises before they sold it to Japan for scrap,” Walters said, noting the number of Uganda/Quebec veterans still alive drops significantly each year. “They’re going down

fast. This could be our last reunion.” Last year, Walters said, 31 veterans of the ship attended the reunion in London, Ont. “They’re all in their late 80s and early 90s,” he said. “I’m pretty well the junior guy, so I got dinged for this. But, it will be nice to show off Kamloops.” The 2014 reunion itinerary includes a number of optional activities, tours of Kamloops and a wine tour, as well as a Friday

The Uganda/Quebec is the only Canadian warship to have participated in action against both German and Japanese forces during the Second World War. On Sept. 13, 1943, the vessel was struck and heavily damaged by a German radio-controlled social at Walters’ Brocklehurst residence. The HMCS Uganda/ Quebec Veterans Association will also hold its annual general meeting, watch demonstrations by cadets and have a formal dinner. On Sunday, April 14, attendees will lay wreaths at the memorial in Riverside Park before gathering at the legion hall for Navy “up-spirits” and lunch before calling the

reunion a year. Walters said he only recently started attending the reunions. “I didn’t find out about the darn thing until four years ago,” he said. “The first one I went to was in Moose Jaw.

“The next year, they did an Alaska cruise — I didn’t go on that. “Then it was in Langley, then London.” Walters said he’ll always cherish his memories aboard the Uganda/Quebec — and the vessel’s place

There are three Uganda/Quebec veterans living in Kamloops, as far as Doug Walters knows — himself, Ken Moffat and Hoagy Carmichael. But, he thinks there might be more. “There’s the three of us, but there might be someone else or someone in Barriere or Chase,” he said. “They might say, ‘Hey, let’s go.’” Walters urges any other Uganda/Quebec veterans who want to take part in the reunion to call him at 250-554-0201. He can also be reached by email at walters.omelchuk@telus. net. in history. “It’s the only Canadian warship that served in the Atlantic, off Italy and fired against Japan,” he said.

“I was on the ship’s golf team. We played golf as guests on every course we stopped at — we drank beer, it was a great time.”

Resume do’s and don’ts By Milton Kiang SPECIAL TO KTW bcjobs.ca

LIENTS OFTEN ASK me how a resume should be formatted. (Note: This question doesn’t relate to resume types, such as chronological, functional or combination resumes.) The question relates to how a resume should be laid out from a visual, style and design standpoint. In other words, what design elements should a resume incorporate? I would be lying if I said design plays no role in the creation of a resume. It does play a role, but it is a secondary one. The primary component of a resume is its content, for it is the content that speaks to your background, education and skill sets. Design helps in the communication of that content. Design also helps the viewer interpret and internalize the words written on the page. I always tell my clients not to be overly fussed with design and style and to pay more attention to the composition of sentences, grammar, names and dates. That said, there are some basic style guidelines you should follow whenever creating a resume.

Essential do’s for formatting your resume:

• Use bullet points whenever you need to itemize things such as job duties, awards and scholarships and certificates. • Leave some negative space (blank areas) between each section of your resume. Negative space helps the viewer read the sentences in your resume. Any document — especially a resume — with text that’s crammed together is difficult to read. • Use standard, business fonts such as Times New Roman or Arial. Use Comic Sans

font only if you want your resume sent to the paper shredder. • Use font sizes 10, 11 or 12. If you wish to emphasize headings and titles, you may use font sizes 14 or 16. • Use no more than two different font sizes in your resume. • Use bold fonts sparingly and only to highlight key items such as the names of companies, job titles or degrees. Some people use bold fonts to highlight key skills and qualifications — and that’s fine. Remember that bold fonts are only used to draw the reader’s attention to certain areas and no

more than 10 per cent of your resume should be bolded. • Use italicized fonts only if you are referring to the names of books or magazines (which, presumably, contain work you’ve authored). • Stick to standard page margins of about one inch at the top and bottom and at the right and left sides (this is the approximate default margin found in Microsoft Word.)

Essential don’ts for your resume:

• Use any type of watermark or incorporate graphic vectors, logos, emblems or images onto your

resume. The only thing that should be in your resume is text. • Use any colour other than black. (If you are applying for a creative or artistic position, then the use of a colour other than black might be called for. The design guidelines here apply to all non-artistic roles.) • Use underlined fonts if you are bolding words. Choose underlined or bolded fonts, but not both. • Affix an image of yourself. In certain parts of the world, such as Europe, it may be customary to do so, but not here in Canada. As far as graphics are concerned, you may use a heavy weighted line to divide sections of your resume. I prefer to use solid lines rather than dashed lines. A six-point line is as thick as you want to go and try not to use more than two different point sizes for your lines. These guidelines aren’t set in stone. When in doubt, err on the side of caution and keep your resume conservative in design and layout. The whole purpose of design is to aid the reader in viewing your resume. Unless you’re applying for a creative or artistic job, focus your energy on sentence structure, grammar and the elimination of typos.

THURSDAY

Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row, column, and 3x3 block. Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle.

METROLAND MEDIA

By Lorne Drury

T DOESN’T GET much better than this. It’s a sunny, warm afternoon in late May and I’m touring the back roads just a few kilometres from home. Driving around in any vehicle would be a pleasant way to spend the afternoon, particularly after a couple of weeks of cool, wet weather. But, this trip is made even more memorable as we cruise along the rural roads with the top down in a two-seat roadster, among the best on the planet. It’s a 2015 Jaguar F-Type Convertible — a highly anticipated vehicle during its debut last year. It was Jaguar’s first convertible in four decades after the iconic E-Type was discontinued in 1974. Now, in 2015, Jaguar is introducing an F-Type Coupe to complement the roadster. Always one to be a little different, Jaguar decided to offer the roadster first, unlike other auto manufacturers that have added the convertible version of a model after the coupe or sedan have been around for a year or two. The styling of the F-Type is stunning. And, the performance is just as impressive, even in base form, with a 3.0-litre supercharged V6 engine. This is the least powerful engine available, yet it still makes 340 h.p. and 332 pound/feet of torque, plenty to get this 1,597-kilogram car up to speed in a hurry. For those who crave a bit more power, the F-Type S also has a supercharged 3.0-litre V6 engine, but this one produces 380 h.p. and accelerates from zero to100 km/h is 4.9 seconds — 0.4 seconds faster than the base model.

I Wheels.ca

A third flavour is the F-Type V8 S, powered by a 5.0-litre V8 engine, making 495 h.p. and capable of taking the car from zero to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. Prices start at $76,900 for the F-Type Convertible, $88,900 for the F-Type S and $100,900 for the F-Type V8 S. After spending a few days with the car, the base model would satisfy most appetites. The engine purrs at idle, but has a snarl when you punch the throttle hard. The sound from the dual exhaust situated side-by-side mid-ship at the rear is something that sends chills down the spine of even a veteran car jockey like myself. Our test car rode on 18-inch Vela alloy wheels, while the two, upmarket models get 19- or 20-inch wheels. All models have a smooth, eight-speed ZF automatic transmission with sport mode and steering wheel-mounted paddles. There are several other standard features, including sport suspension, an intelligent stop-start system that prevents needless idling when the vehicle is at rest. A leather-suede combination seat upholstery, a 380-watt, 10-speaker Meridian sound system and a GPS navigation system are also standard. Optional on the test car was a $2,500 Vision Package with blind-spot monitor, and reverse park camera with traffic detection to alert the driver to oncoming traffic when reversing. Other options included adaptive front lighting with its rotating beams that help light up corners and intelligent high beams that switches high beams on and off based on the presence of oncoming traffic.

With other smaller options added, the as-tested price was $86,450, still $2,000 below the starting price for the mid-range trim level. This cat is such a thrill to drive — ‘purrfectly’ civilized for the casual drive, yet so powerful when the time and place warrant a bit more juice. Steering is quick and precise and, although I haven’t driven the V8 version, I would expect the lighter, less powerful V6 models might have a step up in the handling department, but I can’t say for certain. For anyone who owned an early-model convertible, putting the top up or down was sometimes a lengthy process. Not so with the F-Type version. The top goes up or down in 12 seconds with the flick of a switch on the centre console. No latches to unhook and no windows to wind down. It’s all conveniently done for you. The wind deflector mounted near the roll bar behind the seats helps keep cabin occupants from getting too wind-blown. If there is a nit to pick with the F-Type, it would be the small trunk with only 200 litres of cargo space. It’s pretty small to hold even an overnight bag for a weekend getaway. And, perhaps it’s just my creaky old body, but I adjusted the seat every which way, but couldn’t find the perfect driving position on one lengthy road trip. Other times, the driving seat position felt fine. Speaking of the cabin, the fit, finish and design are just what I would want in a modern, European luxury sports car. In fact, I think it’s safe to say it is more upscale looking than a Porsche 911 or Boxster and on par with what Mercedes-Benz and BMW have to offer. Styling is a very sub-

Head to the Okanagan for a history lesson Okanagan’s first apple orchard was planted at Father Pandosy’s mission in Kelowna By Teresa Cline

Teresa Cline travelled to Kelowna to learn about Father Pandosy’s mission and the history of white settlers in the area.

SPECIAL TO KTW wheretogoandhowtogetthere.com

F YOU WANT to trace the footsteps of the first white settlers in the area, you need to start at Father Pandosy’s Mission in Kelowna. It was there that Father Pandosy, an Oblate priest, established the first permanent European nonnative settlement in the interior of the Crown Colony of British Columbia — now simply called British Columbia. Born in 1824 near Marseilles France, Father Pandosy, along with other missionaries, sailed from France and arrived in Washington territory in 1847. He was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1848 and administered the needs of the Catholic congregation throughout B.C. for 32 years until he passed away on Feb. 6, 1891, in the arms of Penticton First Nation Chief Francois. In the autumn of 1859, Father Pandosy and Father Pierre Richard were sent to open a mission in the Okanagan Valley. The two chose the site and, over the next 30 years, turned it into an important religious, social and cultural centre. The two of them, along with Brother Surel, began an ambitious agricultural enterprise that, at its peak,

QUIRKS FROM CLINE:

HOW TO GET THERE

FROM KAMLOOPS: As you enter Kelowna from Vernon on Harvey Street (Highway 97), turn right on Dillworth and left on Benvoulin Road. You will find the Mission at 3685 Benvoulin Rd. FOR MORE INFORMATION: Go online to okanaganhistoricalsociety.org/ pandosy_mission or call 250-860-8369. Admission is by donation and the site is open from March 1 to October 31. covered 2,000 acres of land, where they raised 500 head of cattle, 35 horses and planted numerous fruit and vegetable gardens.

Fresh • Local • Sustainable •

In fact, it was here that the Okanagan’s first apple orchard was planted using a seedling from St. Mary’s Mission

in Mission. The mission was decommissioned in 1896 and the land was subdivided into smaller farm lots.

In 1983 two Simon Fraser University students discovered Father Pandosy’s grave in a vegetable patch off Gordon Drive with his robes and wooden cross still intact inside the coffin. Four original buildings remained and, thanks to the help of the Okanagan Historical Society, the site was turned into a museum and a number of other significant heritage buildings have been moved to the site.

LUNCH - Mon - Fri 11:30am - 2:00pm, DINNER Mon - Sat 5:00 - 9:00pm

Visitors to the heritage site can get a glimpse into the life of our early settlers. The buildings and rooms have all been restored and furnished with items from that time period, including bedrooms, a classroom,

a blacksmith shop, a living room and a chapel. The site also has a collection of early farm machinery, household equipment such as old washing machines, as well as a collection of horse-drawn conveyances.
