Second man charged in 2011 murder

Kamloops teachers rallied outside Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone’s downtown office on Wednesday, May 28, following their one-day strike as part of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation series of rotating strikes. Teachers in the Kamloops-Thompson school district will again be walking the picket lines on Thursday, June 5, as the union and the government’s bargaining arm continue to be far apart in contract negotiations.

Teachers to strike again June 5

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops teachers will be walking picket lines again next week — on Thursday, June 5 — as the B.C. Teachers’ Federation continues its series of rotating strikes.

Jason Karpuk, president of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Federation, said at a rally on Wednesday, May 28, the union has decided it needs to continue withdrawing services to pressure the provincial government to reach an agreement with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation.

Karpuk said strikes will be held next week on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday — the day for the KamloopsThompson school district — and Friday.

About 100 teachers and supporters gathered outside Kamloops-South

Thompson MLA Todd Stone’s downtown office on Wednesday for the rally, one that heard Karpuk tell them they are in a fight “to defend education.”

With constant horn-honking and shouts of encouragement in the background from people travelling on Victoria Street, Karpuk told the teachers the public is on their side.

He reminded them the government is continuing its legal challenge on the 2002 decision to remove class composition and size from the collectivebargaining process — something the courts have overturned twice.

“Spending money in the courtroom instead of the classroom and that’s shameful,” Karpuk said.

Marty Gibbons, president of the United Steelworkers Local 417, addressed the crowd, telling them the labour movement is behind the teachers “because no other group has been

treated by this government with as much disrespect as the teachers.”

Gibbons said the phased lockout put in place by the government’s bargaining arm, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, is “an insult.

“It’s like throwing someone out of your house then asking them to be friends with you when you let them back in.”

Education Minister Peter Fassbender reiterated the BCPSEA’s latest offer of a $1,200 signing bonus and a six-year contract term, but indicated the union needs to modify its demands and stop strike action.

“I’m profoundly disappointed that while we’re still at the table, with all of the talk that’s been going on, that children and parents and communities are continuing to be held hostage and put in the middle of this dispute,” Fassbender said.

IMPLANT DENTISTRY WEE WELCOME NEW PATIENTS OF ALL AGES

A second man faces a charge of first-degree murder in connection to the death of a Vancouver man outside Stuart Wood elementary in downtown Kamloops.

Anthony Scotchman, 27, has been added as a co-accused along with Travis Johnny.

Both men face charges of murder and committing a crime for a criminal organization following the death of 23-year-old Archie Lepretre.

Lepretre had been playing basketball with his cousin in the schoolyard when the pair was approached by an unknown number of attackers on March 22, 2011.

At the time, police said the incident was gangrelated and the two sides were from rival criminal organizations — a notion Lepretre’s family denied.

Johnny, 24, was charged in December 2013, while Scotchman was charged last month.

A news story from 2010 said Scotchman was wanted at that time for extortion and assault.

Police described him as violent.

Lepretre was from Vancouver, where he graduated from business school.

He was in Kamloops visiting friends and family.

Paramedics worked feverishly to save the life of 23-year-old Archie Lepretre after he was attacked in the basketball court at Stuart Wood elementary on March 22, 2011.

Lepretre died from his injuries. Two men — Travis Johnny, 24, and Anthony Scotchman, 27 — have been charged with first-degree murder. KTW file photo

Grizzly gets fine, not jail, for campsite frenzy

imposed a one-year driving ban for dangerous driving and driving without insurance.

Crown prosecutor Adrienne Murphy said Thursday, May 29, in Kamloops provincial court that Cline lost control in a beach area at night where campers on a First Nations flotilla from Chase to Kamloops were staying.

Cline was drinking with friends on Aug. 2013, and took his fam-

STAFF REPORTER

A junior hockey player who tore through a campground last summer in an unlicensed off-road vehicle — endangering the life of a nine-yearold girl sleeping in a tent — will escape a jail sentence.

Judge Stephen Harrison handed Robert Wade Cline, 20, a $2,000 fine, along with a 30 per cent surcharge, and

ily’s unlicensed off-road vehicle without permission. It had no operating headlights, so Cline and friends held up flashlights.

Campers were concerned about the noise and their safety, so one of them parked his truck in front of the tent where his daughter was sleeping. When Cline made his next pass, he lost control and hit the truck, pushing it into the tent.

“He had to move his truck to get his daughter

out of the tent,” Harrison said.

Campers jumped in and pinned Cline until police arrived.

Defence lawyer Kevin Walker said Cline is a respected player with the Revelstoke Grizzlies of the junior B Kootenay International Junior Hockey League who hopes to get a scholarship to university. He has no criminal record.

Walker also said his client must pay a $5,700

judgement to ICBC for repairs to the truck.

“This is a one-off.

In Revelstoke, he had a curfew . . . He was home and celebrating with friends. They went out

for a joyride.”

Murphy asked for a conditional sentence order and probation while defence asked for a $1,000 fine.

Harrison said house

HOW ON EARTH DO YOU SUBDIVIDE PROPERTY? Considering subdividing your property? You may have heard nightmarish stories from people who’ve gone through the process.

Subdivision is highly regulated in British Columbia and can indeed be a complicated process. Depending on the nature of the subdivision and the location of the subject property, there could be numerous levels of government involved in the process. You will need to retain a land surveyor and may need to involve various other professionals to assist with matters such as riparian, geotechnical, archaeological and wildfire assessments to name a few. The process can take a long time. Ensure you’ve realistically considered how long it will take from conceptualization to final registration at the Land Title Office.

Injuries consistent with shaken-baby syndrome

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

It was an ophthalmologist’s report that first put into words what every physician who examined a seven-month-old baby exhibiting seizures suspected.

Injuries seen inside her eyes were “secondary to shaken baby syndrome,” the pediatric ophthalmologist wrote in the report after examining Hunter Beakley while she was undergoing brain surgery at B.C. Children’s Hospital on Feb. 15, 2012.

On Thursday, May 29, a pediatric specialist, Dr. Margaret Colbourne — medical director of the child-protection service unit at B.C. Children’s Hospital — testified as a Crown witness in the trial of Hunter’s father, Michael Beakley.

He is charged with aggravated assault and criminal negligence

causing bodily harm to Hunter.

Beakley’s former spouse testified earlier she had gone to work on the late afternoon of Valentine’s Day, leaving Hunter with Michael and the couple’s other daughter at their Barnhartvale home. Cassandra Gunn described her daughter as an extremely fussy baby who oftentimes could not be consoled.

Gunn said when she arrived home after work that evening, Beakley asked her to look at Hunter. Gunn described her daughter’s skin as pale, her eyes pulled to the right side and making involuntary motions with her arms.

In testimony, Colbourne outlined reports from emergencyroom doctors and a pediatrician in Kamloops, as well as records from anesthesiologists, neurosurgeons and ophthalmologists at B.C. Children’s Hospital.

All noted there were no outward signs of trauma to the baby, in par-

ticular no cracks or other evidence of blows to her skull. Despite the lack of blows, however, bleeding was so severe the anesthesiologist replaced the entire contents of the baby’s blood system during surgery.

Bleeding in her head and subsequent swelling caused her brain to shift from the centre.

When surgery to reduce swelling and determine a cause of seizures was over, the brain swelling continued so that doctors could not immediately replace a portion of her skull that was removed.

Colbourne said the “huge, huge” hemorrhaging of blood seen in her eyeball rarely occurs except during violent acceleration and deceleration of the head.

“There’s nothing else that would have caused this except shaking,” she said.

The trial continues at the Kamloops Law Courts.

arrest is not necessary for Cline, but he should pay a higher fine to recognize the seriousness of the offence.

Cline apologized to the family.

bdulaziz Alhedaib is 29 years old and he walks, cane in hand, with a very noticeable limp.

His right arm is so weak it requires a brace. The left side of his face is droopy. He moves slowly.

Alhedaib will carry those and other disabilities with him for the rest of his life — the result of a 2012 attack at a downtown Kamloops bar in which he had a pool cue jammed through his left eye and into his brain.

Doctors said he was lucky to have survived the attack.

Now, a year-and-a-half later and with mounting health-care expenses, Alhedaib is angry with the Canadian government’s decision to deport his attacker, Yousef Mohammed Almotairi — essentially rendering useless a lawsuit seeking compensation for medical expenses.

Both men are Saudi nationals and both were studying business at Thompson Rivers University at the time of the assault.

“There is a lawsuit against him,” Alhedaib told KTW. “Who is going to be responsible for my medical bills? For my future?

“We’ll get a judgment and a piece of paper saying, ‘He owes amount of,’ and take it. What am I supposed to do with that piece of paper? Am I supposed to look at it and cry?

“Or is my family responsible?

Not going to happen. My family is not responsible for his actions.

“He’s getting away with it.

That’s what the Canadian government decided to do — even

FOUR MONTHS IN JAIL

Almotairi did not get away with anything, criminally speaking. He was convicted last July of assault and assault with a weapon.

At a sentencing hearing in November, Almotairi was handed a six-month jail term. Prior to sentencing, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Richard Goepel had been told foreign nationals are automatically deported if they’re jailed for more than six months.

The Crown had been seeking a two-and-a-half-year jail sentence.

At sentencing, Goepel said he considered Almotairi’s immigration status while debating how long he would spend behind bars.

Criminals in B.C. who are given provincial jail sentences — less than two years — are eligible for release after serving two-thirds of their term.

Almotairi was released after four months in a provincial cor-

THE ATTACK

Alhedaib said he vividly remembers what happened on the night his life changed forever.

On Nov. 2, 2012, he was celebrating his birthday with a group of friends. They were hanging out at the house in downtown Kamloops he shared with three roommates.

“I invited people who were close to me,” Alhedaib said.

“We gathered at my place. We had fun ‘til 11:30.”

One person who was not at Alhedaib’s house that night was Almotairi. Alhedaib said he knew Almotairi in passing, but the two were not friends.

Eventually, one of the revellers suggested everyone head to Cactus Jack’s Nightclub.

“I was like, ‘I don’t even want to go to the bar — I’ll just wait for you guys,’” Alhedaib said.

“But, I agreed to go for one hour.”

According to Alhedaib, he ran into Almotairi in the smoking area behind CJ’s. Almotairi had apparently been invited to the nightclub by a mutual friend.

“I was like, ‘Hey,’ and I just joked with him,” he said.

“I said hey and I touched his shoulder.”

Almotairi then went inside.

rectional centre.

Alhedaib deems that unfair given the amount of time he spent in a bed at Royal Inland Hospital following the assault.

“He almost killed me,” he said.

“My doctor told my family ‘72 hours — he might die.’

“I spent five months in the hospital and he spent four months in jail. Isn’t that a joke?

“In Canada, there is law, but no justice.”

Abdulaziz Alhedaib has had to use a cane to walk ever since he was released from hospital five months after being assaulted with a pool cue at Cactus Jack’s Nightclub.

The cue was jammed through his eye and into his brain, which caused permanent damage. His attacker, Yousef Mohammed Almotairi, was handed a six-month jail sentence and then deported back to Saudi Arabia, where both men are from.

“I saw Yousef arguing with three guys — two of them wearing cowboy owboy hats and one of them wearing ing a baseball hat,” he said.

“They were swearing.”

Alhedaib said he tried to play peacemaker.

“I said, ‘Hey, it’s my birthday — nobody’s fighting,’” he said. “’Calm down, we’re here to have fun. Nobody’s here to fight.’”

That, he said, is when Almotairi became confrontational.

“He said, ‘It’s not your business, shut the f--k up,’” he said.

“I’m like, ‘Hey buddy, why are you going ape-shit on me?’

“It pissed me off, so I started screaming at him.”

Things escalated from there, Alhedaib said.

“It sort of continued,” he said.

“He found it funny to go nuts on me.

“I heard him saying, ‘You don’t want to mess with me — I’ll f--k you up.’

“Before my injury, I was a kickboxer. I was like, ‘What did you say?’”

Alhedaib said the last thing he can recall is Almotairi approaching him in an aggressive manner.

“That’s the last thing I remember,” he said.

“I woke up after three weeks — didn’t know what happened, my family in front of me.”

— Abdulaziz Alhedaib

THE LAWSUIT

Alhedaib’s lawsuit aga against Jack Almotairi and Cactus Jack’s Almotair was was filed before Almotairi befo the sentenced and is still before courts.

But, since Almotairi w was deported back to Saudi Arabia following his four-month stint behind bars, it makes it tough for B.C.’s courts to enforce any potential ruling that might be made.

TRU law professor Richard Oppong said any potential judgment in Alhedaib’s favour would have to be approved by a Saudi court — something unlikely to happen.

“You have to take the judgment to where the assets are,” he told KTW. “In this case, that’s Saudi Arabia.”

Oppong said Canada does not have an agreement with Saudi Arabia to enforce civil judgements.

“Let’s say someone from Saudi Arabia gets a judgment in Saudi Arabia and he wants to enforce it in B.C.,” he said.

“You have to demonstrate that the Saudi court was competent.

Secondly, you have to demonstrate that the judgment was for a fixed amount of money.

“And, the defendant can come to court and submit evidence.”

Oppong said Alhedaib would have to hire a lawyer in Saudi Arabia to have any hope of advancing his claim in that country, the prospect of which is

”

unlikely in anyy event.

THE FUTURE

Things havee changed a lot for Alhedaib since ince his injury — physically andd socially.

“To be honest est with you, this injury taught me one thing — that I have no friends,” he said.

“I thought I had friends before my injury, but they were my friends because I was in full health, good shape, I drank and partied and I travelled and I did everything they can do.

“But, now, because I have a disability, ‘He’s boring to hang out with.’

“My life went to the opposite way — dealing with my disability, with how people look at me, how people can easily take advantage of me.”

Alhedaib said even his friends from the night of the attack have been of little support.

“The people I went to the bar with [the night of the attack] were not even there for five minutes to visit me in hospital,” he said.

“The only people who have been there for me are my family.”

Despite that, Alhedaib said he plans to stay in Canada after completing his education at TRU — something he hopes to accomplish by 2016.

“It’s not Canada that did this to me,” he said.

“It’s not Canada or the Canadian society.

“It’s someone from where I come from — an idiot.”

L

AST WEEK, COUN. Tina Lange and I went to Ashcroft in our capacity as directors on the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) to celebrate the opening of the new Ashcroft Terminal.

After a four-year gestation, the notion of a true inland port has finally landed.

Ashcroft Mayor Andy Anderson was beaming.

Rail cars can be loaded and sea containers can be handled on the 320-acre site.

What this means is significant to both the B.C. Interior and the Lower Mainland, particularly Delta and Vancouver.

Raw materials, such as wood and wood products, minerals and industrial goods, can now be trucked to Ashcroft Terminal and loaded directly into sea containers and shipped by rail to the Port of Vancouver or the Delta Seaport.

The sustainability implications are huge — less trucking, safer roads and highways and reduced carbon emissions.

At some point in time, the reverse will also happen, whereby containers filled with products destined for Interior sites can be offloaded at the ports and shipped to Ashcroft Terminal by rail and then unloaded to trucks for a faster and shorter trip to their customers and consumers.

This venture is a perfect fit for the Ashcroft Terminal in that both

KEN CHRISTIAN View from

CITY HALL CN and CP run side-by-side right through the site and the TransCanada Highway and Highway 97C are only a few kilometres away.

It is little wonder Anderson was smiling, as the economic spinoffs of this venture are critically important to the Village of Ashcroft.

But, on a more global sense, they are important to the entire TNRD and the province as a whole.

Some might ask: Why Ashcroft? Why not Kamloops?

We have access to the two mainlines.

The likely answer to that is probably the fact the site was actually large enough to provide for the total master plan to become a reality.

That should not be seen as a loss for Kamloops.

When significant enterprise is developed anywhere around us, we share in that success.

The new Forestry Training

Centre in Merritt, a new mine in Vavenby or a new hotel at Sun Peaks should all be viewed positively.

Employees or their families, clients, customers or tourists will all, at some point, shop in Kamloops, study in Kamloops or play lacrosse or join gymnastics in Kamloops.

We are a regional hub and, as such, we need to support and encourage regional economic development.

The TNRD is the perfect vehicle to support all kinds of regional initiatives.

The TNRD Film Commission takes a regional approach to attracting the movie industry.

The Thompson Regional Health District manages the ever-important health file.

The TNRD Library System manages all of our library services.

Even things like search-andrescue funding are ably managed by the TNRD. That’s why Kamloops has six directors on the TNRD and that’s why Lange and I found our way to Ashcroft last week.

Regional governance and celebration of regional successes is an important part of what we do.

Consider this a sunny warning Canadians love the sun so much, it’s killing us.

After being cooped up for months at a time to shelter from the snow and cold, we rejoice at the first days of warm sunshine.

By July, we’re positively basking in it.

And that’s leading to an alarming increase in skin cancer, according to a report released this week by the Canadian Cancer Society, Statistics Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada.

The report says there will be about 6,500 new cases of malignant melanoma diagnosed in Canada this year.

That’s the deadliest, most insidious form of skin cancer that will kill more than 1,000 Canadians.

Another 76,100 cases of nonmelanoma skin cancers will also be diagnosed. Those are less serious and can usually be treated in the doctor’s office.

Unlike many other forms of cancer, the incidence of skin cancer is actually going up rather than down. For men, the incidence rate went up two per cent between 1986 and 2010. For women, it increased 1.5 per cent.

Mortality rates also increased.

Those are sobering statistics worth thinking about the next time the seven-day weather forecast shows a solid run of glowing, golden orbs — especially since it’s so easy to prevent skin cancer.

While it might be a little much to ask people to stay indoors, it’s not a big deal to put on that shirt, roll down those sleeves, slap on that hat and slop on that sunscreen.

And pay heed to the UV index that has become a standard feature of most weather forecasts to avoid the sun’s rays when they’re at their most damaging.

A little summertime prevention will mean being able to enjoy a lot more sunny seasons to come.

To all my kids’ teachers — thanks for 16 years Editor: It’s been 16 years since my oldest child started kindergarten — and my youngest child will begin graduation festivities this weekend.

I have done this a lot over the years, but I really want to do it in a bigger way and say thank you to all of the teachers

favourites but the list is too long.

Thanks for the education, the field trips, the special parties, the calls home, the care and concern, the respect and friendship you offered to my children.

Cheers to you!

Today’s education system is not supporting students Editor: The teachers’ strike and government lockout is a hotbutton issue.

People seem to be very supportive of, or very much against, the teachers taking this job action to strike level.

I would ask those who disagree with the teachers’ union: How long ago did you visit

one of our schools and actually watch classes in session?

I do not work in the school system, but I do work with children.

I am fully cognizant of how many kids who require extra care and attention in school are falling through the cracks of the government’s education system.

I grew up in a generation when teachers were supported, encouraged and recognized for the role they played in children’s lives.

We had full-time librarians and teachers had assistance for the students in their classes who needed extra help focusing or learning the materials.

Our children are not being

supported in today’s school system.

If, as a parent or grandparent, you will not stand up and advocate for a better school system for the children of today and tomorrow, then who the heck will?

Danielle Boyd Kamloops

By all means, debate labour dispute — but with facts Editor: The only thing I dislike more than this unfortunate B.C. Liberal/B.C. Teachers’ Federation dispute is when people whine about teachers without using facts.

Many teachers who help children on their own time are being called lazy.

Many teachers who have

gone years without a wage increase and make less than the national average are being called greedy.

One recent letter writer accused teachers of “using our children as fodder for their own warped ambitions.”

However, the B.C. Liberals locked teachers out so they could reduce their wages,

only to have the Liberals say later that teachers can still come back during lockout times and work on their own time (still without pay) to reduce the government’s accountability for these actions with the public.

For people interested in debating the labour dispute, good on you as this is how

society changes for the better.

For those complaining instead of debating, do yourself and the people educating our children a favour and educate yourself with facts regarding the dispute and quit whining.

It’s a strange observation.

Native people in British Columbia have been the victim of an aggressive, militarily dominant Canadian society and the residential-school issue is just one among many.

Fletcher should do more reading of Canadian history.

Brand offers many lessons

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

There are many lessons one could learn from Vancouver businessman Mark Brand, but perhaps the dominant one to come from a speech in Kamloops is to simply keep doing.

Keep listening, keep learning, keep trying and keep caring.

As for help, listen, accept partners — and don’t let pity rule you.

Brand told the 250-plus people at the annual United Way Community Spirit Luncheon on Thursday, May 29, his life story, what first inspired him to pay attention to the marginalized and how it eventually led him to start several businesses in “Canada’s poorest postal code” — Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

Brand talked of his roommate, Ivan, an unmedicated man with

Vancouver businessman Mark Brand’s dominant advice? Simply deep doing.

Dave Eagles/KTW

paranoid schizophrenia who would be told to be at a social-service office “on Tuesday at 9 a.m.

“I can’t remember appointments and you expect Ivan to?” Brand said.

He talked about Football Mike, a man he saw every day cleaning the streets, always “well put together, manicure, hair clean, dressed nicely,” who, one day, was dishev-

elled and lying on a piece of cardboard.

A man with Asperger’s, OCD, ADHD and several other illnesses, he had left his tiny one-room home when bedbugs appeared.

The landlord, two days later, incinerated all of Mike’s possessions there — including all the photographs he had of the family with whom he no longer had contact.

Brand told of how he decided to offer jobs to people with apparent barriers to employment — and learned they want to work, are loyal to the job and may require more supervision and training.

But, in the end, Brand said, only about 30 per cent of his workers left — in a food industry that usually sees a 75 per cent turnover.

He talked about the “token” program he offered, one that gener-

ated national bad press, but which he believed would make it easy for people to give to the marginalized and not worry the money would go to drugs or alcohol.

With the $2.25 token, the recipient could go to one of his businesses and exchange it for a breakfast sandwich that cost Brand $1.67 to create.

“We thought we’d see an eight or 10 [token] redemption per day and we had 80 to 120 a day in the first week,” he said.

Brand hired more people to cook.

“And, as of yesterday, we’ve redeemed more than 20,000 in a year,” he said.

The program has expanded to Toronto, Buffalo and Detroit.

Has he had failures?

“Yes. For every success, I have 50 failures . . . but, when you do a project that is supposed to happen, it just does.”

Local officials divided on KGHM’s new plan Proposal replaces dry tailings stacks with wet pond and moves stockpiles and plants south of city

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The company behind the proposed Ajax mine is calling its site redesign a good-news story for the people of Kamloops.

Public figures on various sides of the debate, however, are more divided on KGHM’s plan, which replaces dry tailings stacks with a wet pond and moves all stockpiles and plants involved in the operation south of the city’s boundaries.

Coun. Tina Lange, one of only two city councillors who has come out against the mine, was mainly positive about the changes, which KGHM said were made after listening to community concerns.

“I think it’s a great step in the right direction and I’m glad they’re actually acknowledging that they’re listening to people and they’re trying to make it more palatable to the community,” Lange said.

But, that comes with a caveat — Lange said she still has reservations about having an open-pit mine close to the city.

While the new site is a few kilometres farther away, “it’s still on our doorstep,” she said.

Coun. Ken Christian, meanwhile, said the new changes do nothing to address his main concerns about the project: Its effects on the health of the public and the slope

stability of Aberdeen.

“I think it’s naive to think the health and environmental impacts are directly proportional to the distance from Kamloops,” he said, adding he still wants to wait to see what expert engineers and other contractors studying the site for KGHM’s environmental assessment have to say about both issues.

That’s the thinking of Mayor Peter Milobar as well.

“It’s a little more definitive for the community in terms of what they’re thinking, but I think we still have a long ways to go to fully understand what the impacts are going to be in terms of noise, dust, mitigation measures, ground stability in Aberdeen,” he said.

Kamloops NorthThompson MLA Terry Lake said the changes show KGHM is receptive to community concerns.

“One of the concerns I’ve heard from constituents is the proximity question,” he said.

“I think this certainly addresses some aspects of the proximity question.”

Lake said he hadn’t had time to study the changes in enough depth to predict whether the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) is likely to ask for more studies as a result of the new plan.

His colleague in Kamloops-South Thompson, MLA Todd

WKT3054

Stone, said he thinks it’s unlikely the EAO would ask the company to go back to square one.

“It’s very common for proponents to alter, and in some cases significantly alter, their proposal prior to formal submission in the Environmental Assessment Process,” he said.

“It’s very common.

It happens quite regularly.”

Stone said that as far as concerns about the proximity of the mine, Ajax’s new configuration “would seem to be welcome news to the residents of Kamloops.”

Dr. Jill Calder of Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment agrees the company is listening— but not to the concerns of all residents.

“We’re not looking at the plan as actually changing all that much in terms of the particulate matter source and so on,” she said.

“They haven’t been listening to us. They’re selectively listening to the community.”

Calder said her group doesn’t believe moving the mine a few kilometres will lead to a meaningful reduction in particulate matter produced by the mine.

She pointed to Environment Canada’s national pollutant release inventory, which shows New Gold’s New Afton mine is the second-highest emitter of PM2.5 — particulate matter linked to lung cancer — in the province of

B.C. and the province’s air-quality index, which has shown a decrease in the city’s air quality in the last two years, as signs the health of the population is already being impacted by mining.

“I hope they’re still listening,” she said of KGHM, “because our voices are around health and we’re not comfortable this project is going to be able to go ahead without a health impact to our population.”

Kamloops Area Preservation Association spokesman John Schleiermacher said he has a number of concerns about the project, including potential leakage of the new tailings pond into Peterson Creek.

While Ajax project manager Warner Uhl was adamant in an interview with KTW that the tailings ponds cannot fail or spring a leak, Schleiermacher isn’t reassured.

He said he’d still like to see the government set up a jointreview panel for the project instead of the harmonized federalprovincial assessment.

While the EAO’s technical working group, which includes city public works director Jen Fretz, is set to meet in June, presumably because of the mine’s new plans, Schleiermacher said the community advisory group he sits on is not being recalled and has not been consulted by the EAO in about a year.

Conversation for new council KGHM’s redesigned Ajax mine puts the annexation conversation on the City of Kamloops agenda a second time.

As part of its reconfigured mine layout, the company has moved all of its operations south of city limits, meaning the city will have to extend its boundary if it’s hoping to get tax revenue from the project.

Mayor Peter Milobar said at this point there’s no point expanding the city southward when the mine doesn’t have a permit, but thinks an annexation could take place in the mine’s two-year construction phase, which officials have said would take place in 2016 and 2017.

That move would be up to the council of the day, however.

“That really shouldn’t drive the conversation,” Milobar said. “This should be around the environmental assessment.”

Coun. Tina Lange said she thinks the provincial government could consider expanding the city’s boundaries if the mine is given permits, rather than requiring the city to go through the annexation process again.

“Certainly we’ll want the taxes if we’re going to have the impact of a mine in our community,” she said.

Fehr’s memorial service set

A ROYAL MEMORY

A former B.C. Conservative riding-association president and contender for the Kamloops-North Thompson riding has died of asbestos-related cancer.

Ed Fehr was the party’s initial pick to challenge incumbent MLA Terry Lake in last year’s provincial election, but he bowed out of the race for health reasons about a month ED before voting day.

FEHR According to his obituary, he died on May 23, leaving behind a son, Jamie, and his wife, Naomi.

Fehr entered the 2013 race with the goal of improving access to

As Prince Charles and wife Camilla completed their tour of the Maritimes and Winnipeg — and with Charles’ comments linking Adolf Hitler and Russian President Vladimir Putin making headlines — Kamloops resident Dorothy Hallmark thought it appropriate to share this photo with KTW readers. It shows a four-year-old Landmark climbing on the Royal Train as it stopped in the Canadian National yard in Kamloops in 1939, with King George on board. The photo was taken in the very year Hitler’s actions in Europe sparked the Second World War. From 1939 to 2014, the monarchy and the führer continue to be newsworthy.

health-care services and increasing the number of doctors in B.C. He said he envisioned being an MLA who was dedicated to his constituents above all else — “A guy that’s willing to have boots on the ground, go door-to-door and talk to people and bring their issues back to Victoria.”

Before moving to B.C. in 2007, Fehr was active in the Saskatchewan Party, where he also served as riding-association president in Saskatoon centre.

A memorial service for Fehr will take place at the Full Gospel Church in Kamloops on Saturday, May 31.

IHA: Several cases, but no risk to public While noting there have been several reports of respiratory ailments in the city recently — including one that led to the death of a young man — the Interior Health Authority said there is no superbug causing them.

IHA communications officer Michaela Swan said the authority’s medical officers of health

said the cause is not an unusual one and people who start to experience symptoms in their lungs and chest should see a doctor for treatment.

Often, delays can lead to the ailment becoming pneumonia.

That is what doctors said led to the death of Michael Jules, 24, on Sunday, May 25.

A wake for the avid skateboarder who relatives have described as “a simply awesome young man” will begin today (Friday, May 30) at Moccasin Square Gardens, 355 Yellowhead Highway, and continue until after Jules’ funeral, also at the gardens, on Monday, June 2, at 11 a.m.

Braun was a ‘remarkable artist’

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A memorial service will be held later this year for Kamloops artist Werner Braun, who did on Sunday, May 25.

Braun, 81, studied various art forms in Europe and is best known for his watercolours depicting many Kamloops landmarks, works that were later compiled into The Heritage Kamloops Collection, published by the City of Kamloops and the Kamloops Art Gallery.

It includes 35 of his works, including homes, schools, churches and other historic buildings throughout the city.

Braun and his wife, Christa, moved to Canada from Germany in 1958, settling in Calgary before moving west to Kamloops in 1993.

A member of the Federation of Canadian

Well-known Kamloops artist Werner Braun died on Sunday, May 25. In 2007, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. A memorial service will be held later this year.

KTW file photo

Artists, Braun was a member and past director of the Kamloops Community Arts Council.

On his website, Braun noted his artistic focus was centred on harmony and beauty.

“Ever since I remember, history and art fascinated me,” he wrote.

“I believe that my paintings should be a document of beauty, history and nostalgia.

“They must be

painted from the artist’s heart and be accepted by the viewer’s heart.”

Art gallery executive director Jann Bailey said Braun “enjoyed and loved working around Kamloops.”

She called it a privilege to work with him and Christa, “who gave him amazing support,” as he created the heritage-buildings series of works.

“I think it’s important to say he was a remarkable determined artist,” Bailey said.

Barbara Berger, the city’s arts, culture and heritage manager, called Braun “a real special guy who practised the art of living and just creating beauty around him.”

In 2007, Braun was diagnosed with earlystage Alzheimer’s disease and the couple sold their home and moved into an assisted-living residence.

In addition to Christa, Braun is also

The latest in mentalhealth headlines

I

T’S THE LAST week of Mental Health Month — and we know of no better way to mark it than to bring you more mental-health news making headlines to pique your interest and curiosity in a field that seems to hold more mysteries than answers. • Dangers of bingedrinking: Surprising news from the University of Massachusetts Medical School indicates that even one episode of binge drinking can have serious adverse impacts on people.

A single occurrence of over-indulging in alcohol causes bacterial leakage from the gut and an increase in protein levels. The differences were greater for women, leading investigators to suggest women are more susceptible to alcoholic liver disease.

By far, the most important finding is that any single binge of drinking is far more dangerous than was previously believed. • Anxiety medication linked to more emergency room visits: In the United States, emergency rooms saw an increase in visits from young adults who were prescribed alprazolam

(Xanax) for anxiety.

ER visits doubled from 2005 to 2010, then levelled off in 2011.

Alprazolam is prescribed for anxiety, insomnia, depression, or panic disorders and is popular enough to be the 13th-most commonly sold medication in 2012.

It was the psychiatric medication most commonly prescribed in 2011.

More than 80 per cent of the ER visits were caused by interactions with other drugs and alcohol. Sometimes the other drugs were illegal drugs, but 63 per cent were caused by interactions with other prescription drugs, especially painkillers such as oxycodone.

Researchers emphasized that alprazolam is safe when used as intended, but has serious consequences when it is misused.

It is significantly more toxic than similar drugs when too much is taken and, if taken with other drugs or medications that depress the central

nervous system (such as alcohol or pain killers), the effects can be dangerously increased. • Healthy mid-life diet staves off dementia: A study, possibly the first in the world, of eating habits by researchers in Finland was able to determine people who ate the healthiest foods (vegetables, berries, fruits, fish, and unsaturated fats) at the age of 50 had a 90 per cent lower risk for dementia 14 years later.

Unhealthy diets consisted of sausages, eggs, sweets, sugary drinks, salty fish and saturated fats from milk products and spreads.

After 21 years, those with diets high in saturated fats were associated with mild cognitive impairment.

Those who drank three to five cups of coffee a day reduced their risk of dementia over people who drank more or less than these amounts. • Football is linked to brain changes, even when players do not have concussion: A new study

published in the May 14 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) is suggesting college football players experience changes in the part of the brain related to memory functions even if they avoid concussions, although players who did have concussions showed more brain changes than those with no concussions.

The actual volume of the brain related to memory was smaller when compared to healthy nonfootball playing people, and the number of years spent playing football had a direct result on the size of the memory portion of the brain and to slower reactions times.

We hope you enjoy and learn from these snapshots of news in the mental health, as knowledge has power.

The main message remains the same: Healthy bodies, activities and nutrition help to create and preserve healthy brains and minds.

more economical than by the glass and gives you more food friendly options.

Chef/Server Conversation over a bottle or two of wine.

DT: Seems like a good idea. Why don’t more restaurants offer their by the glass list in half litres?

(Start with opening the first wine) DT: So it looks on first glance like a complex puzzle, right?

Reds, whites by the glass, by the bottle‌‌ NP: Get away from the fluff, like chateau, vintage, etc. It can be really easy‌ DT: Explain‌.

NP: Once you know what you like, you can find it. The key is to engage the wait staff in helping you navigate through it‌ DT: You are suggesting most wait staff have the tools to help you?

(Both take a large sip of wine‌) NP: Well, we’ve been fortunate to have visited almost every winery that we list. That’s a good start.

We’ve also tried every wine and sorted out what we offer by the glass or bottle.

DT: Okay, so where do you go next?

NP: Once you talk to me about red or white and your preferences, we need to determine quantity‌ DT: You mean a glass or a bottle?

NP: Or even a half litre! If there are four at a table, I often suggest a half litre of white to start and then perhaps another half litre or two of something appropriate later in the meal. The benefits are two fold – you get to experience at least a couple different wines, it is

NP: Two reasons; glassware and profit margin. For some it is also just another step in the wine service they choose not to take.

DT: Now that we are giving away secrets about how to get the most bang for your buck, I think we should talk about price points.

(White now turns to red) NP: As a rule, the wine that you see advertised everywhere, is often over priced crap.

DT: Crap? Really?

NP: Exactly Over priced crap.

When half the cost of wine goes into PR and advertising, what are you left with?

DT: Agreed. That is one reason why we tend to support smaller producers. They often grow, bottle and market their own products – artisan type of stuff.

NP: That is cool – like “know your farmer�.

DT: Something like that. Hey let’s wrap up with a few quick keys to navigating the wine list‌.

NP: Okay, know what you like, interact with the wait staff, cheapest often isn’t best, ask for a taster (by the glass), the wine list isn’t a trap so try something new and enjoy some wine!

Kamloops pair eyes synchro gold

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

DERBY ON MCARTHUR

ESSA KWIatkowski and Meghan Allan are practically siamese

dolphins.

Last year, they barely knew each other.

The Kamloops Sunrays’ pair will compete for national gold in the 12-and-under duets category at the Canadian Synchronized Swimming Espoir Championships, which run from Wednesday, June 4, to Sunday, June 8, at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre.

“It was their first year last year, so they moved up a level together and became partners,” said 19-year-old Carly Helgason, who coaches the pairing.

“They’re the perfect balance for each other — Meghan’s really bubbly and outgoing and Kessa’s really focused and calm.”

The duo, both 12, formed in September and has been working on the same routine since then, perfecting each movement, mastering each maneuver.

“They bring out the best sides of each other,” Helgason said.

Kessa attends McGowan Park elementary and Meghan is a student at Dallas elementary. It was swimming, not school, which brought them together.

The biggest moment of their young swimming careers will take place on Friday, June 6, when their division takes the water starting at about 3:30 p.m.

Each provincial team gets one shot — only one opportu-

The Tournament City Derby Dolls are hosting roller derby on Saturday, May 31, at 6 p.m. on McArthur Island. Admission is $10 and there is a beer garden. Kids under 10 are free. More information can be found online at tcdd.ca.

BLACK-BELT EXTRAVAGANZA

Tiger Martial Arts Black Belt Extravaganza, tonight (May 30) at 6 p.m. in the TRU Gym. Students have been testing for various belts throughout the week and this will be a celebration of their achievements and mass demonstration of their skills. There will also be a performance by the demonstration team, which will include boardand brick-breaking and skills displays.

WHAT ARE THE ESPOIR NATIONALS? The Espoir nationals feature the country’s best synchro swimmers in the 12-and-under and 13- to 15-year-old divisions, along with athletes with disabilities.

On the line are spots on the

nity — to nail their routine and claim national gold.

“I get nervous and excited at the same time because I know that I have one chance, so we have to make sure we do it well and to the best of our abilities,” Kessa said.

“You have to know all your counts and be on time with the other person. The counts are set to the music, so you both have to memorize them and make sure you’re on the right count for each move.”

13- to 15-year-old international Synchro Canada squad.

The event — which is expected to attract more than 275 swimmers — will be broadcast live at synchro.ca.

The music — a Russian dance number — long ago began to get on the nerves of Helgason but, without the repetition, the team would be dead in the water.

Meghan, unlike her coach, is not yet sick of the song.

“I kind of like it,” she said.

“It gets fast at the end. You use the music. You memorize the skill you’re doing to the music.

“You go underwater a lot and there is an underwater

speaker. Sometimes, we look at each other when we’re underwater to make sure we’re synchronized.”

The going gets tough for the swimmers near the end of the routine, when fatigue can often lead to mistakes.

“I have trouble holding my breath for a long time and my legs get tired,” Kessa said.

“You have to really push yourself.”

For the coaches, the stress begins to build when their pupils hop in the water.

“As soon as they walk in, I can’t communicate with them,” Helgason said.

“The hardest part is not having that control, just having to put the faith in them and hope that you taught them well.”

Literally beating bullying What started as self-defence has resulted in a black belt

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Studying the martial arts was more than a hobby for Jared Choymyc — it was survival.

The Kamloops native was 12 years old when he first entered the Tiger Martial Arts studio in Valleyview — a shy kid who was relentlessly bullied in school.

Though he never had to use his training to defend himself — he’s trained in the Korean martial arts of Teuk-Gong MooSul and tae kwon do — it gave him the life skills he needed to get through those tough years. “It was just something I wanted to do to change that,�

Choymyc said, recalling the years of bullying in his youth. “To gain self-confidence and to kind of change my life from, I

suppose, what it was before. “But, as soon as I started martial arts, it started to change.�

Choymyc reached the next level in his martial-arts career last week — he was one of a number of athletes testing for a new belt rank. Following two hours of testing, he was awarded with his third-degree black belt.

Now 20 and a head instructor at Tiger Martial Arts, Choymyc will be presented with his new belt at the Tiger Martial Arts’ Black Belt Extravaganza tonight (May 30) at 6 p.m. in the TRU Gym. The extravaganza will celebrate the achievements of all the school’s athletes and will include skills demonstrations from students and a show from its demonstration team.

Choymyc graduated from

Valleyview secondary and now attends Thompson Rivers University, studying in the Faculty of Arts. He plans to pursue a career teaching martial arts, hoping to one day open his own Tiger Martial Arts school.

Master Jeff Viani, along with the other instructors Chomyc has had throughout his training, have had a profound impact on Choymyc and he tries to pay it forward, imparting some of the knowledge and wisdom on to his pupils. “They took the time to help me, no matter what it was,� he said. “I think it’s been one of the biggest changes in my life as well, being able to give back what I’ve learned to kids, to ensure they’re not going to go through the things I went through.�

Labour talks break off between CFL, CFLPA CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Talks between the CFL and its players on a new collective bargaining agreement broke down Thursday.

Representatives from the CFL left the second day of talks abruptly, and CFL Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association president Scott Flory says the league rejected a new union proposal.

CFL commissioner Mark Cohon said the players rejected a league proposal earlier Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Canadian Football League has sent its best offer for a new collective bargaining agreement directly to the players,â&#x20AC;? Cohon said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, this best offer was rejected by the CFLPA executive committee this morning. We strongly believe it is a

fair and equitable agreement for both parties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want football. We want our season to start on time. But, not at the cost of the unrealistic proposal put forward by the CFLPA.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Flory said the CFLPA came off its original demand of revenue sharing, offering a compromise it called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Revenue Protection Clause.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It allowed for a fixed cap, starting at $5.8 million and rising three per cent annually, for a minimum for two years.

After the second year, if there was an increase in revenue on a league-wide basis of more than $12 million, excluding Grey Cup, the parties would renegotiate the cap or the collective bargaining agreement would be jointly terminated at the end of that season.

SAVE ON May ! e l a SCRUBSS

The union also proposed a one-time bonus to veteran players of a minimum compensation of $15,000 each.

The playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association was originally asking for a salary cap of $6.24 million.

The two sides met face-toface Thursday morning following 12 hours of talks on Wednesday.

The league left shortly afterward, presumably with a new union proposal in hand.

Representatives from the league returned for face-to-face talks about two hours later, but left within moments without saying a word.

The current collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players ends at 9 p.m.

Saturday, and training camps are scheduled to open on Sunday.

Players say they will report to camp without a new agreement.

Terwiel left off national team

By Adam Williams

the snow begins to fall.

Terwiel is a member of her school’s ski team, the Vermont Catamounts.

Along with learning from an experienced alpine coach, skiing at the university gives her the opportunity to compete with teammates who also have history on national teams — Canada, Norway and the United States, among them.

Despite having its frustrating moments, Terwiel looks back on 2013-2014 with pride. Finishing at 11th in the first World Cup race of the season was a big moment for the Canadian, who later qualified to represent her country at the 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games.

“I’m really proud of the preparation I put into last season,” she said.

“I’m also extremely proud and still quite excited by the result I had at my first World Cup last year. I mean, I was 11th in the world — I was seventh after the first run — and that skiing felt really normal to me.

“I’m really proud of the effort that I put into the season. I think it’s unfortunate that I got injured — that’s a reality of my sport and it’s something you can’t really control.”

What the future has in store for Terwiel is anyone’s guess, but the 25-year-old isn’t thinking too far ahead. She’ll return to the mountains with Vermont, continue her education and see where life takes her.

Maybe she’ll make an Olympic return in 2018, maybe she won’t.

Whatever happens, Terwiel will never forget her time wearing the Maple Leaf.

“I’ll never ever forget the experience that it was,” Terwiel said of the Olympics. “Walking into the closing ceremonies with my fellow Canadian athletes, you really felt the pride that Canada had for us athletes. The support coming from Canada was felt in Russia. It was incredible.

“The experience itself, I will never forget it. I think all the performances that I’ve had over my entire career led to that point and I’m proud of the journey. I can’t believe I actually made it to the Olympics and I’m ecstatic that I was able to go.”

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Three months after her first Olympic appearance, Elli Terwiel is taking a step back in her alpine skiing career.

The 25-year-old Sun Peaks native was a member of Alpine Canada’s slalom ski team in 2013-2014, but was left off the roster when the 2014-2015 team was named earlier this month.

But, Terwiel’s OK with that.

The University of Vermont engineering student has taken time away from the national team before and said she had some of her best ski racing experiences.

Terwiel wasn’t surprised her name wasn’t called — she had expected to be left off the team. The squad depends heavily on the previous year’s results and she spent much of her 2013-2014 season battling injuries.

“Last year was a great year for me in the fact that I felt like I was skiing really well,” Terwiel told KTW. “However, I had a couple injuries that really set me back, including a concussion and compressing a disk in my lower back at the very end of the season.

“So, this coming year, I think I’m going to take it a bit easier.”

Terwiel is getting back into the swing of things with her academic career, taking a few summer courses at Vermont. She stepped away from the university during the 2013-2014 academic year, choosing instead to focus on her skiing.

Though the draw of education didn’t lose its hold on her, she still found the time to complete an online course at Thompson Rivers University.

Now, Terweil is enjoying being back in the classroom and is on track to graduate with her civil-engineering degree in 2016.

“It feels great,” she said. “I really love the work that I’m doing at school so I’m really excited about the opportunity to use my brain.”

The return to Vermont also means the return to NCAA ski racing when

After another French Open win, Nadal looks toward tennis’ future ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS — Shortly after winning for the 61st time in his 62nd match on the red clay at Roland Garros, Rafael Nadal took a moment to look at the future of tennis.

And the top-seeded Spaniard doesn’t see himself in the picture. Or Roger Federer. Or Novak Djokovic. Or Andy Murray.

True, Nadal advanced to the third round of the French Open on Thursday, beating a 20-year-old Austrian in straight sets. But it’s that same 20-yearold Austrian, Dominic Thiem, who is one of the men who could start winning the major titles that have been so elusive to almost everyone outside that famous quartet.

Together, they have won 34 of the last 36 Grand Slam titles.

But, to drive home his point, Nadal notes he’s almost 28 while Djokovic and Murray are 27 and Federer is “I don’t know, 32.’’ “[We’re] not going to be here for 10 more years,’’ he said.

The eight-time French Open champion followed that last statement with a chuckle, probably because he quickly realized how ridiculous that kind of prognostication sounds after his 6-2, 6-2, 6-3 win over Thiem.

It was, however, quite a contest on Court Philippe Chatrier, the main stadium at Roland Garros and Nadal’s favourite place to play.

Thiem broke Nadal’s serve twice, once in the first set and once in the third. The first time, Nadal was serving for the set at 5-1 and leading 40-30, but Thiem hit three straight thundering shots into the same corner, the first a backhand the next two forehands, to make it 5-2.

“He has very powerful shots,’’ said Nadal, who can become the first man in history to win five straight French Open titles with another victory this year. “Very powerful forehand and good backhand, too.’’

Good, for sure, but not yet good enough to take down Nadal.

“It’s really important to play against these guys a lot, against these top guys because it’s more important than every practice,’’ said Thiem, playing in only his second Grand Slam tournament. “I hope I can take a lot with me from this match.’’

The three other old-timers have also reached the third round, with Murray beating Marinko Matosevic 6-3, 6-1, 6-3. Despite the lopsided score, Murray still had to work to keep himself sharp, at times chastising himself out loud for all to hear.

“From a player’s perspective . . . the beginning of sets are very important to try and get ahead whilst the opponent’s head is down a little bit,’’ Murray said. “I was just trying to make sure that my intensity was there every moment, especially at the beginning of the sets. I managed to get ahead early in all of them, and that helped.’’

Murray has never won the French Open, nor has anyone else in the men’s draw besides Nadal and Federer. But the Wimbledon champion reached the semifinals at Roland Garros in 2011 and the quarterfinals in 2012. He missed last year’s tournament because of a back injury.

Canadian men’s volleyball team looks for more success

By Donna Spencer CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — The national men’s volleyball team is giving Canada a world contender in another team sport.

The volleyball team, which features former Thompson Rivers University standout Gord Perrin, was one win away from competing in the 2012 Olympic Games in London, where Canada’s 76-year Olympic medal drought in team sports ended with a women’s soccer bronze.

But, the men’s volleyball team pulled off its own historic result a year later, coming from two sets down to beat reigning Olympic champion Russia in the 2013 World League final round.

Canada fell short of the podium with a subsequent loss to Brazil, but finished a bestever fifth among the top 18 men’s volleyball countries in the world.

With that result, the Canadians jumped from 18th to No. 11 among the 127 countries on the FIVB’s world rankings.

Canada opens its 2014 World League campaign in Calgary with back-to-back matches Saturday and Sunday against 30th-ranked Finland.

The Canadians host No. 37 Belgium in Vancouver at the University of British Columbia’s Thunderbird Centre on June 13 and 14, followed by matches June 20th and 21st against No. 14 Australia at Edmonton’s Rexall Place.

“I’m sure Calgary and

Edmonton are going to be really bonkers knowing the volleyball culture in Alberta,” said right-side hitter Gavin Schmitt, a Saskatoon native who played college ball in Red Deer, Alta.

Canada hosted its World League pool matches in Quebec City and Mississauga, Ont., in 2013.

Competing against the best teams in the world prepares Canada in its bid to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

“It’s what we’re training for really,’’ Schmitt said. “That’s the culmination of international sport. That’s where everybody wants to be.’’

The last time Canada competed in Olympic men’s volleyball was in 1992. The United States swept Canada in the final of the qualifying tournament for 2012 to claim the

berth in London.

A complete overhaul of the national men’s program by head coach Glenn Hoag, the establishment of a national volleyball training centre in Gatineau, Que., and recent investment in team sports by Own The Podium have all contributed to the resurgence of the men’s volleyball team.

Hoag has expanded the pool of players for the national team to 30 and is able to run a more comprehensive national junior program out of the training centre.

After a five-year absence, Canada qualified for the World League again in 2012.

Although the Canadians finished outside the top 10 that year, they upset then-world No. 1 Brazil in pool play.

“Re-qualifying for World League was absolutely massive for us,’’ Schmitt said.

“If we’re not playing in World League, we’re out scrounging for matches to play against good competition.’’

Own The Podium doles out federal government funding based on a sport’s medal potential at Olympic Games.

Team sports are expensive given the number of athletes on each squad, but in 2010, the feds said $6 million a year had to start going towards team sports.

That development coincided with the Canadian men upsetting world No. 5 Serbia at that year’s world championship.

“OTP has been supporting us since 2010 and that support has been crucial,’’ Hoag said.

OTP allotted just over $1 million for the men’s volleyball team for 2014-15. The World League prize money Canada won in 2013 didn’t cover the team’s expenses to compete in it, said Hoag.

World League Volleyball doesn’t generate television revenue for the Canadian team, although their matches will be broadcast on Sportsnet One. The national-team athletes make a living at the sport by playing overseas. Captain Fred Winters of Victoria, for example, plays in a Chinese pro league.

Six-foot-10 Schmitt and Perrin are Arkas Izmir teammates in Turkey and Hoag coaches that club in addition to his national-team duties.

The Canadian men will also compete in the world championships Aug 30 to Sept. 21 in Poland. The men swept Costa Rica in three sets May 19 in Mississauga to win their qualifier.

Obituaries & In Memoriam CHARAN SINGH MANN

ACRES William (Bill) Acres passed away peacefully at home on May 7, 2014, 7 days shy of his 75th birthday.

1939 ~ 2014

Charan Singh Mann was born on December 15, 1939 in Punjab, India. He did farming for most his life. He immigrated to Canada on August 23, 2003 with his wife and his daughter to live with his eldest son and his family in Kamloops, Canada. He worked as a farm worker here in Kamloops. He was loved by everyone and led a very simple life.

He was a hard worker.

Forever loved, cherished and missed by his wife Marilyn, son Carey (Carla) Acres of Grande Prairie, AB, step sons Dave (Karen) Guinn and Jim (Nancy) Guinn and daughter Michelle Acres; grandchildren Corey & Ryley; Niya, Nicola & Kiana; Miranda & Zac all of Kamloops.

Also left to cherish his memory are his brother Gary (Doloris) Acres of Edmonton, sister Nonie (Brian) Carver of Sherwood Park, AB, sisterin-law Carol Acres of Edmonton; his adopted children Eijiro & Takiko Hara and grandchildren Shinno & Kaede of Kamloops, and many nieces, nephews, friends and other relatives.

He was predeceased by his father Milton, brother Roy and nephews Blaine and Jarret.

Bill joined the RCMP in 1959 and was stationed throughout BC. Before retiring, Bill worked with Live Stock Section, SRGT (Bill) Acres, retiring in 1987. He then worked for School District 73 from 1987 to 2004 driving school bus. He enjoyed helping the ranchers at branding time, volunteering to deliver Meals on Wheels, the Kamloops Race Track, and every May he volunteered at the Black Mountain Rodeo in Kelowna. Bill loved fishing and camping, and our trips to Raratonga, Cuba, Hawaii and traveling across Canada. His favorite fishing spot was Meziadin Junction.

Charan also participated in community works as well. He was a very good helping hand at the Sikh Temple Gurdwara. He also served as director for two years at the Kamloops Sikh Cultural Society Gurdwara. He is survived by his loving wife Surjit Kaur Mann, loving children: son Iqbal Mann (Ravinder Mann), daughter Balvir Kaur (Sukhvir Singh), son Joga Singh (Harminder Kaur), daughter Kuldeep Kaur Jhutty (Darbara Singh Jhutty) and sister Surjit Kaur (late Jagar Singh). He is also survived by seven loving grandchildren.

The family would like to express our heartfelt thanks to our Angels, the palliative care nurses from Interior Health Nursing Care PPW-4 & Respitory Therapist Carla, dietician Barbra. Thanks to Jessica and Justin and many more home support workers. Our love and thanks to Erin and Brenda for all your help and compassion.

Many thanks to my family and friends who gave us support during this stressful time.

The funeral services are to be held at Kamloops Funeral Home at 1:00 pm on June 1, 2014. After the funeral service the cremation service is to be held at the Hillside Cemetery followed by religious services to be held at 700 Cambridge Crescent, Kamloops Sikh Cultural Society Gurdwara.

A Celebration of Bill’s life will be held on Saturday, June 7, 2014 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm in the Schoening Chapel Tearoom, with Pastor Lance Naylor officiating. Interment will follow at a later date.

Should friends desire, in lieu of flowers, donations to the Royal Inland Hospital, Cancer Clinic, 311 Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2T1 in memory of Bill, would be appreciated.

Forever Loved and Never to be Forgotten Till we meet again Your Loving Family

KATHLEEN RAMONA YEO (NICHOL) JAN. 12, 1926- MAY 27, 2014

On a sunny spring morning, with her dignity intact, Kathleen passed away peacefully at the Gemstone Care Facility. She will be forever loved and missed by her daughters, Norma-Jean (Winston) & Nancy (Ron), and her sons, Bob (Ursula) & Murray. Grams leaves her grandchildren, who were such a big part of her life- Debbie, Brian (Tiffany), Blair (Molly), Jason (Lynsey), Bob (Nichole), Bill (Kerstin), Joe, Laura & Meghan. She had a very special place in her heart for her six great-grandchildren, with a seventh due in June. She also leaves her sister Noni, her daughter-in-law Anita and her very dear friend, Bubbles. Kathleen was predeceased by her husband Bill in 1980 and her son Bill in 2000.

Kathleen was born in Fort Qu’Appelle on January 12, 1926 to Samuel and May Nichol. Her family settled in Battleford, Saskatchewan shortly after her birth. She was the third Nichol sister to marry the third Yeo brother, which made it difficult for her to leave her Battleford roots and start a new life in Kamloops. She arrived in Kamloops in the fall of 1965 with her five children in tow. Her husband had come ahead to start his job at Tranquille School. Like many of her generation, Kathleen was a stay at home mom and was the “go to” person for her children. Mom was widowed for many years and spent her later years making fun filled memories with her children and grandchildren. Grams was always there for each and all of us and will be greatly missed.

The family would like to thank Dr. Barnard for her many years of caring for Kathleen. We would like to acknowledge and thank the Renaissance and Gemstone “families”.

A Celebration of Kathleen’s life will be held at the Kamloops Funeral Home on Tuesday, June 3, 2014 at 11:00 am with Mary Widmer officiating.

“When Irish Eyes are smiling, sure ‘tis like a morn in spring.

In the lilt of Irish laughter, you can hear the angels sing.

When Irish hearts are happy, all the world seems bright and gay, And when Irish eyes are smiling, sure, they steal your heart away.

In Loving Memory of my Brother

SCOTT ANDERSON October 13, 1967 to May 30, 2007

Today marks the passing of another tough year, and I still can’t believe You are gone.

I want you to know that you are never Far away from my thoughts, and you are always in my heart.

I miss you my little brother, but I also miss my very good friend.

I Love You Shelly xoxo

A Vanished Friend Anders Lim

Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race.

He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name.

“Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.”

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!”

And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!

There is truth in Some, like the what he says.

National Front in It is true the EU’s France and the United parliamentary elec-

Kingdom Independence Party, want their countries to leave the EU. Others, like the far-left Syriza Party in Greece, just want to get rid of the common currency — the euro — and end the EU’s policy of enforced austerity.

The Alternative for Germany wants to keep the euro but allow the Mediterranean countries to leave it.

Jobbik in Hungary and the Danish People’s Party are viciously antiimmigrant. Germany’s National Democratic Party and Golden Dawn in Greece are neo-Nazi.

There is a fringe party for every taste.

The most important reason, however, is that the European Parliament has little authority over the bureaucrats who carry out EU policy and zero over the national governments that actually decide on the policies.

The parliament was created to add a dollop of democracy to the process, but it simply cannot paralyze the EU. Yet, this election has been a great shock because it has revealed a vast reservoir of hostility to the EU among the populations of half its member states, including some of the

biggest ones.

In France, the antiEU National Front got more votes than either of the mainstream parties — the Gaullists and the Socialists.

In Britain, the United Kingdom Independence Party beat both the Conservatives and Labour.

Precisely because the European Parliament has so little real power, however, this was a cost-free protest vote.

At least half the people who backed the National Front and UKIP in the EU election will probably go back to voting for the established parties when the next national elections are held in France and Britain, because the outcome of those elections will matter to them.

Nevertheless, it was a very loud protest and it has badly shaken the European elites who took it for granted that progress towards a more united Europe was inevitable.

What they now have to figure out is whether this was just a cry of rage and pain caused by six years of economic crisis and falling living standards, or whether it really is a protest against any

further expansion of the “European project” — indeed, even a demand to roll it back.

If the EU’s current unpopularity is mainly due to a poor economy, then a few years of economic growth and rising incomes should make it go away.

Most of the national economies in the EU will grow at least a bit this year and, as the economic situation improves, the anger should subside.

But, what if the whole notion of an evermore united Europe is being rejected by the very people who were supposed to benefit from it?

As in many other parts of the world, the widening gulf between the few rich and the many whose living standards are stagnant or falling has created an incipient revolt against globalisation — and the EU’s centralizing tendencies are widely seen as part of that problem.

Renewed economic growth will not cure the EU’s malaise if the wealth does not trickle down to the majority.

In that case, there may ultimately have to be a retreat to a much looser form of European union.

Attacks on CBC ‘wilfully destructive’ Alleged abductor will

By Dean Beeby

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Conservative party’s public attacks on the CBC have been “wilfully destructive’’ and undermine its independence, says a newly uncovered letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper from the broadcaster’s government-appointed former chair.

The sharply worded 2010 letter, released last month under the Access to Information Act, alleges unwarranted attacks that year “disparaged the Crown corporation in order to solicit political donations for the Conservative party.”

The missive from thenCBC chairman Tim Casgrain warns the party and government MPs against “intruding’’ on the broadcaster’s independence as they seek

“to influence the content of programming.’’

“While this may be fair game in partisan politics, the charges are unfounded in fact and wilfully destructive of an asset of the Crown.’’

Casgrain’s dyspeptic dispatch was triggered by controversy over remarks by CBC pollster Frank Graves of Ekos Research to a newspaper columnist, Lawrence Martin of the Globe and Mail.

Graves later apologized for telling Martin he had urged the Liberal party to “invoke a culture war’’ with the Conservatives and to not fear polarizing debate over issues such as tolerance.

Conservative MPs and party officials immediately seized on the remarks, demanding the CBC fire Graves as its pollster.

Casgrain, appointed by the Harper government to

the CBC board of directors in April 2007, said Graves’ polling work for CBC had integrity and reliability — and noted the government itself had hired him in the past.

“The government comes dangerously close to intruding on the independence of the broadcaster when it seeks to influence the content of programming or determine whose views will or will not be represented on its airwaves,’’ says the letter, a highly unusual direct communication from the CBC board to a prime minister.

Casgrain’s five-year CBC term ended in June 2012.

An executive at a Toronto flight business, his only comment this week was that “the letter speaks for itself. I have nothing to add.’’

A spokeswoman for the CBC said the Prime Minister’s Office never responded to the

letter, which was also copied to then-heritage minister, James Moore, who also did not respond.

France Belisle said the chair and board have not sent any further letters to the prime minister touching on the public broadcaster’s independence.

Harper’s spokesman Jason MacDonald said the Prime Minister’s Office has “no intention of getting into a play-by-play around correspondence that goes back to 2010.’’

The 2012 federal budget chopped the CBC’s budget by $115 million over three years, with the corporation shedding more than 600 jobs this year.

Cuts came among a spate of reductions across government to balance the budget by 2015, and leave the CBC with just over $900 million in annual operations funding.

Wrongful conviction not result of negligence; court CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX — A Nova Scotia judge has ruled that a man wrongfully convicted of statutory rape in 1970 has failed to prove that the miscarriage of justice was the result of negligence.

Gerald Barton launched a lawsuit against the RCMP in Digby, N.S., for negligent investigation.

He testified that, at the time he was charged, he never gave a statement to the Mounties and did not plead guilty at a trial, even though that’s what the record shows.

Barton, who now lives in Edmonton, was wrongfully convicted of raping a 14-year-old Nova Scotia girl in 1969.

In January 2011, the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal admitted fresh DNA evidence proved Barton was not the father of the child born to the girl, who has since died.

In his ruling, Judge James Chipman of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court said he would have awarded Barton $75,000 in general damages had he concluded that the wrongful conviction was the result of a negligent investigation.

undergo psych testing CANADIAN PRESS

TROIS RIVIERES — A 21-year-old woman suspected of kidnapping a newborn from a TroisRivieres maternity ward will undergo a psychiatric evaluation to determine whether the criminal case against her can proceed.

Valerie Poulin Collins looked pale and tired as she was driven to court in the back of a Quebec provincial police cruiser on Thursday, May 29.

She was arraigned on two charges: One of kidnapping and one of abducting a person under 14.

If convicted on the abduction charge, she faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

If found guilty of the kidnapping count, Poulin Collins faces a sentence ranging from five years in jail to life imprisonment.

Police arrested Poulin Collins at her home on Monday, three hours after a woman posing as a nurse snatched a 16-hour-old infant from a local hospital. The baby girl was returned to her parents unharmed.

Officers located Poulin Collins with the help of locals who recognized the woman from a photo sent out with an Amber Alert.

NATIONAL NEWS

Mulroney to take over Quebecor

By Ross Marowits CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Former prime minister Brian Mulroney is set to become chairman of media and telecom company Quebecor in a show of stability following the recent departure of its chief executive and the launch of the controlling shareholder’s political career as an avowed separatist.

Mulroney, who has been vice-chairman, is expected to be elected chairman on Thursday, June 19 when Quebecor holds its annual meeting, the company said in a filing with securities regulators ahead of the gathering.

“I do think that it does calm the waters because of who Brian Mulroney is,’’ said Karl Moore, a professor at McGill University’s Desautels Faculty of Management.

Moore said the change will allow the new senior management team to move on from the distractions of personnel change and run the business.

The change in leadership at the board level follows the depar-

ture for undisclosed health reasons of CEO Robert Depatie who masterminded the company’s foray into wireless, and the jump into provincial politics by Pierre Karl Peladeau.

The son of the company founder left his position as vicechairman earlier this year to run for the Parti Quebecois in the recent provincial election.

He won his seat, though the separatist party was knocked out of power. He is now a considered a leadership contender for the PQ. His support for Quebec’s separation rattled some investors and newspaper readers outside the province.

Mulroney brings a strong federalist voice to head of the table and could help relations with Ottawa when it comes to possibly launching a national wireless business.

Quebecor bought wireless spectrum licenses needed to operate cellphone networks in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, in addition to Quebec, in the federal government’s auction earlier this year.

It could become a fourth

national player to compete with Rogers, Telus and Bell, but the Quebec company has been cagey about whether it will take up the challenge.

Troy Crandall, a telecom analyst with MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier, said Mulroney counterbalances Peladeau’s sovereigntist leanings, providing some comfort to investors and Ottawa.

“At least now from an outside observer it kind of looks like Quebecor is more neutral from a political stance this way,” he said in an interview, noting Ottawa was ill at ease by Peladeau’s sovereigntist support.

“It doesn’t hurt to be on the federal government’s good side when you decide to make some strategic decisions on that.’’

Quebecor has said it expects to meet with Ottawa soon to let the government know what it assumes to be the “right conditions” to operate a wireless business outside Quebec.

Eamon Hoey, a telecom consultant and senior partner with Hoey Associates, said Mulroney’s appointment reassures investors

Harper pledges funds for child-health initiative CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The Conservative government is pledging an additional $3.5 billion over five years toward the prime minister’s maternal, newborn and child-health initiative.

Stephen Harper made the announcement about the funds, which will cover the period from 2015 to 2020, at a Toronto-area primary school.

The commitment is slightly higher than the

$3.25 billion a coalition of aid groups had been asking for.

The money builds on the $2.8 billion Harper committed to his so-called Muskoka Initiative, unveiled in 2010 when Canada hosted the G8 summit.

Harper has made helping young mothers and newborns in developing countries his signature aid priority.

Harper said the new funds will be focused on helping young children in the first month of life who

are dying around the world in numbers that experts describe as alarming.

The prime minister is hosting an international summit on the issue this week in Toronto, with experts from around the world, including philanthropist Melinda Gates, who gave the keynote speech at the summit’s first full day.

In her speech, Gates lauded Harper for his “powerful advocacy on behalf of people in developing countries.’’

Gates also credited International Development Minister Christian Paradis with strengthening Canada’s relationship with nongovernmental organizations.

The comment appeared to be aimed at Harper’s critics, who say he is using the most basic motherhood issue to boost support.

She said Canada deserves credit for funding organizations that have tried to eradicate polio AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.

UN asks Ottawa to open doors for Syrian refugees CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Some of the 100,000 people displaced by the brutal Syrian civil war.

The UN’s High Commissioner for Refugees met with Immigration Minister Chris Alexander on Wednesday, May 28, as part of a tour that includes Europe and the United States.

Antonio Guterres said he’s hopeful Alexander will deliver a positive response.

The Canadian government has already agreed to accept 1,300 Syrian refugees who fled the Middle Eastern conflict, but Ottawa remains far from meeting that goal.

Guterres says much more needs to be done to help ease the massive burden on Syria’s neigh-

bours, including Lebanon.

He said Syrians now make up more than one-quarter of the population in Lebanon, where more than one-million people are registered with the UN refugee agency.

Guterres said Lebanon’s infrastructures have failed to keep up with the influx of Syrians, leading to overcrowded schools and hospitals.

the company will be guided by someone who is admired, wellconnected and respected in business circles.

“I think that will send a signal to the markets that they’ve got somebody of substance who has his hands on the wheel and he is going to fill that team below him,’’ he said.

“I think they’ve got a strong chairman rather than looking at him as the balance to the Pequistes,” Hoey said, adding he sees the change more as a passing of the baton by a key member of the province’s business community.

Mulroney, 75, was travelling outside of Canada and couldn’t be reached for comment.

He has been a director at the Quebec-based company since 1999 and replaces Quebec chamber of commerce president Francoise Bertrand, who has decided to not seek re-election.

Pierre Laurin will become vice-chairman and lead director.

Depatie resigned on April 28 and was replaced by Pierre Dion, who headed the TVA French-language television network.

Addicts will continue heroin CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A B.C. judge has granted addicts who were given prescription heroin as part of a clinical trial a temporary injunction to continue getting the drug while a court case proceeds.

Five people filed a lawsuit alleging the federal government is violating their charter rights by denying them access to prescription heroin to treat their addictions.

Those patients received the heroin during a clinical trial but, once they left the trial last year, their doctors asked for special federal approval to continue prescribing the drug.

That approval was initially granted, but Health Minister Rona Ambrose changed regulations to prevent such approvals.

Pivot Legal Society, which is helping the patients with their lawsuit, said a judge has granted a temporary injunction to allow the patients to be prescribed heroin.

The plaintiffs argue prescription heroin is an effective treatment for chronic addiction for patients who haven’t been helped with other options, such as methadone.

ill English rekindled his love for model planes after he retired, but it took him a few flights to get the hang of it.

“I promptly smashed it,” said the president of the Kamloops Model Airplane Society.

“It cost me a couple of models, but that’s not the end of the world.”

His love for model planes started when he was a child.

Technology has come along way since then.

English remembers a time before radiocontrolled models.

U-control planes were designed with two lines attached to the wings, limiting the operator to flying in a circle.

“That’s all it was when I started,” English said.

Now, he has a garage full of about 20 planes of all types and sizes.

He has built German planes from the Second

Spring fly this weekend The Kamloops Model Airplane Society (KMAS) is hosting its annual fun fly beginning today (May 30) and running to Sunday, June 1.

Model airplane enthusiasts join from throughout Interior B.C. and the Okanagan are coming for a weekend of flying and camping.

KMAS president Bill English invites interested spectators to come out and see what model airplanes can do and learn about the society.

“The fun fly is a good time to see what’s possible and how it works, but it’s not a good time to try training,” he said.

The event takes place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on all three days at the club’s field, a few minutes north of Kamloops off Highway 5.

For exact directions to the field and to find out more, go online to kmasrc.ca.

World War, the one Snoopy flew in the Peanuts gang and a plane that isn’t so miniature at all — with an impressive 11.5 feet in wingspan.

The plane is one third of the size of the real plane, English said.

The bigger models react slower, but are less susceptible to the elements, he said.

English has always had a passion for flying in general — he wanted his pilot’s license growing up but

couldn’t afford it — but he appreciates model airplanes because of the “sort of stuff you can’t do with a real plane,” he said.

From loops to climbs, flying upside down and inverted spins, “they’ll do anything,” English said.

And, after some crashes — in the range of 12 to 15 — he said there’s one major benefit to the model versions.

“When they crash, I get to walk away.”

Megan Williams, author of Our Interrupted Fairytale, will be at Kamloops Chapters on Saturday, May 31.

ONCE UPON A TIME . . .

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

W

HEN Megan Williams first met Chad Warren at a tennis coaching clinic in West Vancouver, she never expected she would write a book about him.

Warren was 26 at the time, Williams 16.

“After the coaching course was finished, we never were going to stay in touch,” Williams said.

“I was still in high school and he was graduated college.”

But, the week after their meeting on the court, word went around the tennis club that Warren had been diagnosed with multiple melanoma.

While he faded out of the tennis scene soon after, the man she’d only briefly met lingered in the back of Williams’ head.

“Whenever I asked anybody, ‘Has anyone heard what happened to that Chad guy?’ nobody knew,” she said.

“I just assumed the worst had happened.”

Four years later, the two would meet on the tennis court once again, this time when she was 20 and he was 30.

“He looked so healthy and strong and I was like, ‘Chad, you’re

alive,’” Williams said.

The two began seeing each other, and, eventually, fell in love, moved in together, and started thinking about marriage.

Then the cancer came back, this time fatally.

“I didn’t know that it was going to be the end of him until three days before he died,” Williams said.

“He might have known sooner, but it wasn’t like we were ever told you’ve got three months to live or anything like that. He just kept fighting and fighting and fighting and getting worse.”

The couple’s romance, and its abrupt end, form the basis of Williams’ first book, Our Interrupted Fairytale, which she’ll talk about in Kamloops on Saturday, May 31.

“I never really planned on being a writer,” Williams said.

“I thought it would always be Chad who was going to do it.”

Inspiration first struck not long after Warren’s death, when Williams was cleaning out a closet in their shared home and found a diary in the bottom of a bag of manuals.

It was Warren’s and offered a glimpse of the early days of his cancer diagnosis in his

own words.

“I flipped to the back of the diary and, in the back of it, it said ‘Publish this when the time is right,’” Williams said.

From there, she gathered other writing — her own blogs and diaries, emails, love letters, Christmas cards — and used the words to build an account of their years together, and the final years of Warren’s life.

“I wanted to give our love a legacy. It sounds really cheesy to say that, but it’s true,” Williams said.

“I love that somebody’s going to be able to pick up this book from somewhere else in the world or borrow it from somebody else who never knew Chad and they’re going to get to read about this really great guy.”

That meant confronting the memory of some difficult days — “there was a lot of tears wiped with a full sleeve of snot,” Williams quipped — but there was also a therapeutic component to the work.

“It felt like I was dating him all over again,” she said, “and I was reliving our life together.”

Williams will be at Chapters, 1395 Hillside Dr., from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

TRAVEL

Walking through history

By Chris Millikan SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

Our Cotswold walking holiday begins in little-known Monkton Combe, eight kilometers from Bath.

Settled at the village inn, we examine prebooked custom itinerary, maps, trail cards and even transportation vouchers — everything needed for our selfguided explorations.

Shouldering daypacks filled with directions, hats, jackets, water, sunscreen and snacks, we take our first walk.

The village dates to Saxon times.

IF YOU GO

• Plan a walking holiday at foottrails.co.uk.

• Visit Monkton Combe’s historic inn at wheelwrightsarms.co.uk.

• Or, stay at Cockleford’s charming 17th centuring inn found online at green-dragon-inn.co.uk.

• Learn more from Cotsworlds Tourism online at cotswolds.com • For more information, go online to the-cotswolds. org or oxfordshirecotswolds.org.

Lands granted to Bath Abbey provided monks a refuge in this verdant, steep-sided valley.

Names like Monks Retreat and Monkswold are still etched on stone houses.

Along a quiet lane,

250-374-0831

250 Lansdowne Street 800-667-9552

wellsgraytours.com

we pass the site of Fulling and Tucking Mills, closed since 1931.

Our trail cards describe water-driven stocks that degreased and, adding fuller’s earth, felted cloth for dying.

Nearby stands the ivy-covered home of William Smith, father of modern geology.

In 1810, the renowned geothermal spring mysteriously dried up.

Discovering it had diverted, Smith reestablished its original channel.

Sturdy boots and walking poles help us climb a near-vertical pathway to neighbouring Combe Down’s community park, once a quarry supplying honey-brown limestone for building Bath and Buckingham Palace.

Before descending again, we gaze over our

sleepy village below — population 356.

We are rewarded with roast lamb and Yorkshire pudding back in the friendly pub.

We get into a comfortable rhythm during the next six days.

Hearty English breakfasts with Frenchpress coffees kick off excursions averaging five hours daily, over hill and dale.

Midway, pub lunches recharge us for return loops through the pastoral countryside to our lodgings.

We trade stories with fellow walkers and the regulars while relaxing over dinner.

Meandering from Monkton Combe to Dundas Wharf, we see the triple-arched Dundas Aqueduct, built in 1798, the earlier of two spanning the Avon Valley.

The engineering marvels kept the Avon canal level without using locks, enabling barging 100,000 tons of coal to London annually, until 1898. Sleek canal boats now ply the waterway for pleasure.

Some footpaths prove easy; others test our stamina.

Straining up one rugged path, we reach Cromwell’s Rest.

“Cromwell took breaks between battles just there,” a local says while pointing to one of several stone cottages.

Resting ourselves in a tavern beyond, the ordnance map shows us between Bath and Bradford-on-Avon, where a large thirdcentury villa was discovered.

Such farms supplied food and wine to Roman legions stationed in Bath.

Crossing farmlands today requires scrambling over stiles or through self-closing kissing gates, permitting access without letting livestock out.

Cutting through the grassed fields and flower-filled meadows, walking poles help us fend off stinging-nettle bites.

Up one hill and down another, we zigzag under treed canopies and one trail emerges on Limpley Stoke’s common.

Like most villages we encounter, Stoke boasts a long history, dating to 961AD. Along a picturesque lane, dog walkers explain prominent Save our Packhorse posters: “Sadly, new owners closed our beloved 17th-century pub.”

Brightening, they grin, “But our parish church is worth a stop!”

An exquisite Norman doorway highlights this 12th-century gem.

Scrawled notices on fences alert us to nervous mamas protecting calves.

Instead, curious black bullocks trot straight for us.

Resisting impulses to flee, we face them — stepping firmly forward and halting them abruptly.

Hurrying up the hillside, we snatch celebratory smooches and escape through another kissing gate.

That afternoon, a taxi transfers us to Cockleford, a hamlet deeper in the Cotswolds.

For another three days, we explore the Churn Valley.

leaves us awestruck.

Hedgerows border rippling blue-green wheat and pale-green bearded barley; scarlet poppies splash distant fields of bright-yellow canola.

Dry stone walls crisscross gentle hillsides.

Built without cement in the 18th and 19th centuries, farmers still enclose sheep behind these low, conserved walls.

During medieval times, the Cotswold sheep’s long golden fleeces commanded high prices throughout Europe.

Massive profits built elaborate farmhouses and wool churches that dot the landscapes.

We visit stone villages located along old Roman roads and trudge a demanding forested ridge.

We join the Cotswold Way, an extensive National Trail popular with hardy hikers, including early monks on pilgrimage to Bath Abbey.

We enjoy tranquil National Nature Preserve parklands, ramble in beech woodlands where Henry VIII and Ann Boleyn hunted, pop into atmospheric churches and discover where Lord Mayor of London Dick Whittington likely spent his wretched boyhood on one of several estates owned by influential 13th century land barons.

Walking the Cotswold’s less travelled pathways shows us rural England’s beauty and charm.

CAREERS

Know how to communicate your true value

By Stephanie Clark SPECIAL TO KTW bcjobs.ca

The issue of communicating your value is critical to career management.

Knowing your value well enough to convey it with strength and conviction has widereaching uses.

It is effective — and necessary — in resumes, interviews, performance appraisals, creating a 15-second pitch or elevator speech.

Career growth is almost impossible without it.

Do you have any idea what your value is or what defines it?

The easiest way to understand it is to think of what you offer that will earn your compensation.

Here’s how to arrive at understanding value from an employment perspective: • Qualify related education and your experience in your area of expertise or in the industry • Define your area of expertise: A history of cold-calling successes;

experience in several mergers and acquisitions; existing relationships with multi-million dollar customers and so on.

• What qualities do you have that have helped you achieve?

Tenacity, focus, people skills, ability to read “body language,” superb organization, ability to read between the lines — hone in on your strengths.

• Quantify your contributions with numbers.

How much did you increase market share, did you find ways to save money, how well did you serve clients, did your work improve satisfaction, engagement, productivity?

Unless you can answer these questions, or ones more relevant to your role, you may find job hunting and career management a tough road.

Committing a few sentences to paper will begin this journey and, many revisions later, you will have an authentic, succinct and powerful understanding of who you are and

what you offer.

For example, my paragraph might read: “I offer award-winning resumes and cover letters that help clients land interview and that have been selected for leading U.S. and Canadian career publications.

“I am committed to continuing my training, a sort of kaizen approach with ongoing improvements in strat-

egy and technique.

“Supportive of all facets of a client’s job search, I offer interview coaching and job search assistance. This focus on customer service has resulted in happy clients who refer friends and family.

“In fact 80 per cent of my business is now generated through referrals.”

If I were to apply to a subcontracting posi-

tion, this paragraph would certainly generate interest.

The employer would see how the quality of my service leads to further work — and thus would benefit his or her business.

Conveying your value means you are speaking the employer’s dialect.

Address their profits through your performance and productivity,

and you are on your way to impressing — big time.

Your resume must show that you can do the job, typically expressed with a list of key words and phrases.

But, more than that your resume must include accomplishments.

During an interview, the interviewers will want to confirm that you do indeed have the

skills that you claimed to have, but more than that they will be determining your value in furthering business interests.

Communicate your value. Share stories of how you achieved your qualifications, status, accomplishments and reputation — and you will wow your interviewer and make the decision to hire you an easy one.
