STUDENTS URGED NOT TO WALK OUT By Dale Bass

What started as an idea by a couple of Vancouver teens has spread to Kamloops — and it could see students walking out of school on Wednesday, June 4. Students at Valleyview and NorKam secondaries have signed onto a Facebook page created to promote the walkout. On the page, Victoria Barker and Mackenzie Timko of Vancouver write that many students have experienced the labour disputes between teachers and the provincial government “for our entire schooling. “For some of us, that means our entire 13 years of education. “The two sides are like parents who are divorcing and have stuck their children in

the middle for the last 13 years.” The pair has asked students to walk out tomorrow at 9 a.m. and carry signs that speak from the student’s perspective and not the B.C. Teachers’ Federation or the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA). Jason Karpuk, president of the Kamloops Thompson Teachers’ Association (KTTA), said he’s heard rumours of the walkout, but hopes students don’t do it. “This is between the teachers and the government and I don’t think they [students] should take more time from instruction,” he said. Karpuk encouraged students who support teachers to join them as the second week of rotating strikes hits

Kamloops on Thursday, June 5. For students who do not support the teachers’ stance, Karpuk urged them to visit picket lines and discuss issues with teachers. KamloopsThompson school district Supt. Terry Sullivan agreed with Karpuk in encouraging students to not walk out. He said parents will receive a phone call from the district asking them to speak to their children about not leaving school. Sullivan said this is particularly important for students preparing to write provincial exams or doing other assessments. Sullivan said the automated phone message worked well last week when he sent out an update to parents. X See STUDENT A4

Who caused baby’s brain injury at crux of trial By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The lawyer defending a man accused of shaking his baby daughter so hard it caused brain injury told a B.C. Supreme Court justice it’s more likely her mother hurt the child. “It’s likely there was a series of incidents in the latter part of January 2012 and early February — two or three incidents,” said defence lawyer Bob McRoberts. He is defending Michael Beakley, charged with aggravated assault and criminal negligence causing bodily harm against his then seven-month-old daughter Hunter Beakley on the evening of Feb. 14, 2012. The ultimate violent episode, McRoberts said, happened not while Hunter was in her father’s care that evening as his spouse was away at work, but earlier that day or on Feb. 13. That was done by mother Cassandra Gunn, the lawyer suggested, calling her a “troubled young woman.” However, Crown prosecutor Bernie Caffaro said Beakley’s inaction that evening while his daughter was in medical crisis is telling. The only rational explanation, he said, is Beakley violently shook his daughter while

Gunn was at work. Evidence heard at trial showed physicians treating Hunter immediately suspected shaken-baby syndrome because the infant had no bruising or other exterior signs of trauma. McRoberts said evidence shows Gunn was depressed before the incident. Rather than taking medicine prescribed by her doctor, she chose to smoke marijuana, he said, noting Gunn made several suicide attempts, including one after her first child was born. Caffaro said she also admitted to striking her bed and screaming into pillows over Hunter’s incessant crying. Another witness said he saw Gunn slap at Hunter’s car seat, a blow that may have struck the infant. “This is an action by someone without impulse control,” McRoberts said of Gunn. While B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop need only find a reasonable doubt that Beakley did not commit the crime in order to acquit him, McRoberts argued even on the civil test of a balance of probabilities, it’s clear Beakley didn’t abuse his daughter. Caffaro, however, said while Beakley claimed to be a responsible father who protects his children, he failed to act after claiming he saw Gunn slap his

daughter so hard on Feb. 12 that it caused her head to move. Beakley also didn’t call 911 while his daughter was struggling to breath and not moving on her left side — what Caffaro called a “full-blown medical crisis” — choosing instead to wait until Gunn came home from work at 10 p.m. “It’s common sense to know help was needed,” Caffaro said. As paramedics tended to his daughter after Gunn called for help, Caffaro said the only thing Beakley told them was Hunter had been fussy since the day she was born. Gunn, on the other hand, was at the centre of the medical attention, Caffaro said. “This is his contribution?” And, even as late as two weeks after Hunter was admitted to hospital for brain surgery, Caffaro said, Beakley was sending endearing notes and giving token gifts to Gunn. By this time, Caffaro said, it was obvious the baby’s injuries were caused by either Beakley or Gunn. “It makes no sense if Mr. Beakley, as a father, has any inkling Cassandra Gunn presents a threat to Hunter,” Caffaro said. “The real threat is he knew she didn’t do it.” Hyslop has reserved her decision to a later date.

Possible human remains found

Members of the Kamloops RCMP’s serious-crimes unit have joined the BC Coroners Service at an area southeast of the city, where human remains may have been found. Cpl. Cheryl Bush said police were told ATV riders had come across the remains on the night of Sunday, June1, while out in the area of White Lake. “Kamloops RCMP Serious Crime Unit are at the scene and will work with the coroners service to do a scene examination and recovery of the remains,” Bush said. “This investigation is in its very early stages and there are no further details at this time.”

Stabbing at Valleyview motel

A Kamloops man is being treated for nonlife-threatening injuries following an earlymorning stabbing on Monday, June 2. RCMP Cpl. Wayne Chung said emergency crews were called to the Econolodge Motel, 1772 E. Trans-Canada Hwy. in Valleyview, after midnight. Chung said investigators believe the victim, who is in his 40s, knew his attacker, but details are limited. The investigation is ongoing.

Student wants teachers at grad ceremonies X From A1

Meanwhile, Karpuk said he planned to speak with South Kamloops secondary student Rylee Elfert, who has started a petition demanding teachers be allowed to attend the school’s graduation ceremonies. Karpuk said the BCTF has told teachers they can attend as observers, but not as participants. The BCPSEA maintains teachers can take part in graduations and Sullivan said he cannot see why they wouldn’t also be allowed at graduation banquets, which are not school functions, but organized by parents. Elfert said by noon on Monday, June 2, more than 150 of South Kam’s 260 graduating students had signed her petition. She said graduation “isn’t just for students, it’s for teachers, too,” noting students are unhappy teachers can’t hand out their certificates

Teachers will again walk the picket lines in Kamloops on Thursday, June 5, but the union and school district are urging students to not emulate the action with a rumoured walkout on Wednesday, June 4. KTW file photo

or take part in pre-ceremony banquets. Students had voted for two of their teachers — Don Wilson and Blake Buemann — to give speeches at the banquet. Elfert said she was taking the petition to the KTTA office at the end of the day in hopes the list of students might spark “some resolution.” Karpuk said a grievance will likely be filed dealing with the pay reductions ordered by the BPSEA for teachers’ job actions. He said he had received complaints from teachers that the five and

10 per cent reductions tied to the level of job action had been applied to benefits as well as gross pay. The BCPSEA has already said only base wages will be reduced and all other costs, including benefits and sick days, “are to be provided/paid as usual and in full.” The document outlining these provisions notes that positions will be reviewed if the BCTF calls for a full strike. The pay reduction went into effect on May 26, the day the BCTF started its rotating strikes.

Sullivan acknowledged there were bound to be some mistakes that will need to be corrected later. “Our computer system isn’t set up to make [this kind of] reduction,” he said, noting it’s likely teachers away on field trips, on medical leave or who work part-time might have had the wrong amounts deducted. Karpuk said he was also looking into reports of security guards at Aberdeen and Juniper Ridge elementary schools in the evening. Sullivan also expressed surprise when told of the reports. “News to me,” he said. “I’d suggest people not get their information from social media.”

Thieves target eight Segways, devastating Shuswap business By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Shuswap business owner is asking people to keep their eyes peeled for any sign of the eight Segways stolen from her business last week. The single-person stand-up vehicles were stolen from Shuswap Unique Adventure Tours’ secure Scotch Creek compound at some point overnight on Thursday, May 29. “It was secured very well,” company owner Barb Rivest told KTW. “But, if someone wants something bad enough, they’re going to get it.” Chase Mounties have said thieves broke into the compound to steal a horse trailer containing the eight Segways. Rivest said the self-balancing scooters don’t have much value on the black market. “The thing with these machines is they’re not that valuable to steal if

people aren’t in the Segway system,” she said. “The serial numbers are out there, all across North America, so you can’t get parts, you can’t get service [on stolen units].” She said she’s heard in the past of stolen Segways being dumped and asked people to keep an eye out for the units or the white horse trailer with which they were stolen. “Best-case scenario, people find these Segways and they get them back to me,” Rivest said. “If we can find these, that is the best thing.” Police said they believe the theft was targeted and was likely committed by someone with knowledge of the business. The loss is estimated at $60,000 and the burglary comes just as tourist season in the Shuswap is about to begin. Anyone with information is asked to call the Chase RCMP at 250-679-3221.

IG’s interest rate grabs attention By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Peter Veselinovich of Investors Group was surprised at the media outburst when the finance company announced a mortgage rate of 1.99 per cent last week. The Winnipeg-based vicepresident of the company said the low rate was introduced as a publicity gimmick but, because it had “a sizeable amount of money

available, it was seen as good for our clients and our business.” He noted, however, many media reports have erred in their explanation of the rate, which is being offered over a three-year term. The actual payment, Veselinovich said, is tied to the company’s three-year fixed mortgage-rate payment which, as of last week, was 3.59 per cent. The 1.99 per cent is the interest portion of that amount, so more is going toward

the principal. The mortgage can’t be refinanced other than for a sale of the property, but it is portable. Prepayments are allowed. Veselinovich said the mortgage package “has taken off. I’m surprised at how well it’s been received. “We’re just in our third week of promotion, but people have been lining up at the door, existing and new clients. “We’ve had underwriters working through the weekends.”

Kamloops connection to Order of B.C. Two of the 25 recipients this year of the Order of British Columbia have strong Kamloops ties. Len Marchand is described by the provincial government as “a tremendous example to First Nations for his trailblazing career.” Marchand, a member of the Okanagan Indian Band, was the first First Nations person elected times to the House of Commons, defeating Progressive Conservative candidate E. Davie Fulton. He was re-elected two more times, serving in the cabinet as a parliamentary secretary, minister of state for small business and minister of the environment. and then was appointed to the Senate, the second aboriginal to be given a seat in the Red Chamber. Marchand is a member of the Order of Canada and has received the Queen Elizabeth II Golden and Diamond Jubilee awards. Roger Barnsley now lives in Parksville but, for many years, he was president of the University College of the Cariboo, continuing in that position when the institution became Thompson Rivers University. The provincial government cites Barnsley’s vision and guidance facilitating “the emergence of Kamloops as a university city,” noting

the many partnerships he helped built that also led to the institution becoming a key component in the Tournament Capital Centre program.

Barnsley retired in 2008 and is now co-chair opt the B.C. Council on Admissions and Transfers, a director of the Vancouver Island Health Authority

and a past member of the B.C. Drug Benefit Council. Marchand, Barnsley and other recipients will be honoured at a ceremony in the fall.

The basic technology involved with extra corporeal shockwave technology has been used for decades on millions of people. Certain musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions have a hard time healing due to the development of unhealthy, disorganized tissue in the area of injury. Over time, this dysfunctional tissue limits the body’s ability to repair and heal itself.

We wouldn’t treat foresters this way

Life insurance agents deserve fair treatment too Without justification and without consultation the Insurance Council of British Columbia decided to scrap the current licence exam system for life insurance agents – a system that works well for agents and consumers alike. BC’s exam system will be replaced with a new one that the Québec Autorité de marchés financiers will develop and run. There was no discussion with stakeholders, no public procurement process and no transparency in deciding on the new exam and exam service provider. Behind closed doors is not how our government officials should make decisions that impact our livelihood and our services. The new exam process for life insurance agents will be MORE EXPENSIVE, LESS FAIR and HURT COMMUNITIES AND JOBS. Tell your MLA that qualifications for British Columbia life insurance agents should be developed in a fair and transparent way. Call: Hon. Terry Lake (Kamloops-North Thompson) 1-888-299-0805 Hon.

Teach your children well — but not on your own time

HE BEST I CAN GUESS is that, under the partial lockout imposed by their employer, public-school teachers can spend their free time coaching sports, taking kids on field trips, organizing and travelling on big, end-of-school-year trips to the Coast or to the Shuswap — but they are not permitted to spend their free time helping students with their homework. I stand to be corrected, but I am not the only one as even the brightest labour minds in school districts as large as Vancouver’s are still scratching their heads as they attempt to figure out what is and what is not allowed under the partial lockout order. (To round out the confusion to the ridiculous extreme, the provincial government’s bargaining agent, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, had to release letters of clarification following its initial missive explaining the lockout.) Yes, I think we understand that, with no contract and with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation starting rotating strikes, the government (through the BCPSEA) has decided to fight fire with fire and employ lockout measures that are meant to reduce teachers’ hours and duties, which means less pay. But, if the government has set in stone rules that allow teachers to spend their free time doing all but teach, something is seriously wrong with those in power. If, as the premier and the education minister have claimed, the rotating strikes and initial job action are hurting students, how can banning teachers from tutoring kids at recess and at lunch and limiting teachers from being in the classroom for a certain period of time before and after school possibly help rectify the damage being done to students? It makes no sense. The partial lockout’s resulting 10 per cent cut in pay (which the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is challenging at the Labour Relations Board) will save the provincial government more than $1 million per day.

The teachers’ union rotating strikes are saving the provincial government $16.5 million per week. Those are a lot of millions of dollars that could, theoretically, fund what many teachers have told me is the crux of this labour dispute — classroom size and classroom composition. According to Ministry of Education figures as of the 2011-2012 school year, there were 50,497 students in B.C. with one or more of 10 recognized special needs. Students with six of those special needs — autism spectrum disorder, sensory disabilities, physically dependent, physical disability/ chronic health impairCHRISTOPHER FOULDS ment, deaf/blind, Newsroom some MUSINGS behavioural disabilities — receive additional funding, ranging from $9,000 to $36,000 per student per year. Students with four of those 10 special needs — mild intellectual disabilities, gifted, learning disabilities and some behavioural disabilities — do not receive additional funding to help them in the classroom. Think about it: One day of the partial lockout could pay for the teaching aid of between 28 and 111 students for one year. Two weeks of rotating strikes (and this is Week 2) could pay for the teaching aid of between 448 and 1,776 students for one year. While the Kamloops-Thompson school district has set a limit per class of three recognized special-needs students with individual education plans, that number can be increased via consultation with the teacher. The problem, as I have been told by many teachers, is having three students with individual education plans can be very manageable if the special needs are minor in comparison to others on the ministry list.

On the other hand, teaching one or two kids with special needs can be daunting as hell if the severity of those special needs is amplified. Further complicating matters, I am told, is the fact there may be other children in that classroom who perhaps should have a ministry designation but, for various reasons, do not. Unlike the last time teachers took job action, the public seems to be siding with educators during this labour dispute. This could be attributed to the fact the B.C. Liberal government has been found by the courts to have broken the law and to have tried to provoke a teachers’s strike in 2011. Is it any wonder the teachers’ union has trust issues? On the other hand, we have a union too militant for its own good, a union that does little to get the focus off wages. When the BCPSEA claims union salary demands are out of this world, the union counters with numbers that are still too damn high in light of previous public-sector union agreements and the plight of the common man in a seemingly perpetual fragile economy. If, as I have been told time and again by countless teachers I know here in Kamloops and in the Fraser Valley, the issue is not money, but classroom conditions, perhaps someone should tell BCTF president Jim Iker. Teachers were given a 16.5 per cent pay raise over five years in 2006, along with individual $4,000 signing bonuses. The 10-year grid lands teachers good salaries at the top end. According to government figures, teachers in Kamloops start their careers at $54,000 per year and max out at $76,000; teachers with master’s degrees start at $58,000 and top out at $83,000. If the issue is the classroom, the union should scream as much from the top of the world. If the issue is the classroom, the provincial government (through its bargaining agent) should back off the ludicrous lockout order banning teachers from teaching. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

Anti-spam law appears to be rather toothless We doubt there is anyone who hasn’t been annoyed by spam in their email boxes. We’re not talking about that delicious canned spiced ham, but the endless stream of e-mails advertising everything from Viagra to Rolux (sic) or the $30 million a nice man in Nigeria wants to send you. We’re being a bit silly here, but what is really ludicrous is the federal government’s new anti-spam legislation, which takes effect on July 1. It is hard to imagine a more trivial non-problem for the government to concern itself with, let alone how the rules — which require businesses get written or oral consent before they send e-mails or other digital messages to consumers — will put an end to spam. The new regulations address a problem that, by and large, has already been dealt with through technological means — spam filters at the level of both your home computer and your internet service provider are sophisticated, effective and constantly being updated. This legislation also doesn’t do much to stop the particular flavour of spam email that is a problem, which is fraudulent, or phishing, e-mails trying to scam you into revealing your personal information. They’re unlikely to ask your permission, either. On the end-user side of the question, there will be some that want to file grievances regardless of how effective their spam filter has been. Yet, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission is already saying they won’t be able to handle the expected flood of complaints. So, what have the feds accomplished with their new anti-spam legislation? An increase in bureaucracy, to be sure, but not much else. We would prefer they concentrate on legislation that actually means something.

Victims of crime deserve more than promotion of Harper

How does Ajax square with UN’s Bruntland Report?

Editor: The United Nations World Commission on the Environment and Development, headed by former Norwegian prime minister Gro Harlem Bruntland, delivered what is known as the Bruntland Report. The report defined “sustainable development” as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Fool that I am, I’ve never been quite sure on how you square the circles of liquidating agricultural land for mines within the Bruntland framework. Does moving some of the proposed Ajax mine’s components outside Kamloops city limits make it sustainable? I’m guessing my confusion is related to my foolish notion that, in the sustainability pecking order, ecological sustainability would trump economic and political sustainability when, in fact, the reverse order appears to be true in Kamloops. Wouldn’t it be something if, before the November civic election, those on city council would come to

be in possession of the moral clarity required at the heart of leadership and each of them would stand up and say either, “I am for the mine unless it proves to be unsustainable,” or “I’m against the mine unless it proves to be sustainable.” Alas, most members of Kamloops council do not appear to know what sustainability means. Not knowing is their right but, of course, they could know what it means and they should know what it means. I guess they don’t know what it means because it makes them happier not to know. For the rest of us who lack agency in the Ajax mine matter, we can’t change reality, but maybe we can change our perception of reality. All things are possible through an effort of mind and, if we access our inner powers and harness our power of thought, we can mobilize our psychic energy and tap the forces of mind over matter. Then, if we say the mine is sustainable, it will be sustainable. If we say it is true, it will be true. Rick Duggan Kamloops

Editor: Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod’s latest mailer arrived in my mailbox a couple of days ago, aimed at promoting the proposed Canadian Victims Bill Of Rights. As I see it, the Stephen Harper government is using this bill mainly to score political points, exploiting the public’s natural sympathy for victims of crime. Harper’s new bill is actually more about positioning the Conservative Party for next year’s federal election. McLeod is just repeating her party’s line pretty much word for word. If you think I am being cynical, read the bill for yourself. The fact is victims-services programs already exist in all Canadian provinces and territories. Any new bill to help victims of crime should provide increased funding for these existing services, as well as include new measures to reduce the worsening backlogs, which so often delay trials. Harper’s new bill has no committment to funding and will likely add to courtroom delays, not reduce them. Victims of crime absolutely deserve more support. But, this bill won’t provide the kind of assistance that really counts, no matter what McLeod’s taxpayer-funded pamphlet says. This message, just like the messages in all of her home mailers, simply promotes the Harper brand. Victims of crime deserve more than that. Murray Dickson Kamloops

B.C.’s education ‘industry’ could use a voucher system Editor: There is insufficient understanding of the problems created in our economic system whenever one group has monopoly or near-monopoly power in any industry. Human nature is self-interested and, with monopoly or near-monopoly power by any group, the industry will be managed for the benefit of any group having that power. This is the case in our education industry. Near-monopoly power is possessed by

the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and that power is used for the benefit of its members. Statements issued about the students’ interests being served are spin. Competition is needed. That can be achieved by a voucher system in which all parents are issued a voucher for the accepted average cost of the education of their children and they are left free to provide that voucher to the educational institution (public or private) of their choice.

If they provide home-schooling, they should be able to use that voucher for themselves, provided the education of their children meets government standards. This would take control of our education system from teachers and provide it to parents. It would ensure education provided to children is what parents want, not what teachers want.

Promise after all for a CN pedestrian bridge? By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

For years, the city and the Tk’emlups Indian Band have lobbied to have a pedestrian path built alongside CN Rail’s train bridge, only to hear a series of firm nos. But, after meeting with the railway’s heads at last week’s Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference, Coun. Tina Lange was given some hope that no could become a yes. “This year at least they said, if the engineers said it could be done safely and not

at huge cost that they would entertain a joint project with the city, the band, the federal government and CN,” she said. “So hey, you never know. It’s better than I heard in the past.” The rail bridge is a common shortcut from the downtown to the TIB and several band members have

lost their lives navigating the span. “It’s an issue,” said Lange. “It’s the link between Tk’emlups Indian Band and downtown and it’s a safety issue.” Lange said the railway figured large at this year’s convention, due to an increased focus on rail

safety since a derailment in Lac Megantic, Quebec killed more than 40 people. Postal service also made the agenda, with about two thirds of delegates voting down a resolution that would have had FCM lobby the federal government in order to save door-to-door delivery, which Canada Post plans to phase out over the

next five years. Lange was one of those voting against the motion. “As nice as it is, it’s a bit outdated and ludicrous that we would expect a piece of mail to be delivered directly to our homes when they’re not doing it out in rural areas and they’re not doing it in new subdivisions,” she said. The federal government did garner criticism for its rollout of the new Building Canada Fund, which supplies infrastructure money to municipalities. Lange said delegates were disappointed that the

program wasn’t streamlined to the extent the federal government had promised, or as swift. “Something they really, really concentrated on was they wanted the money to be released two months before construction season. And it didn’t happen,” Lange said. “We’ve only started to get that money now.” This year’s conference ran from May 30 to June 2 in Niagara Falls, Ont. Lange, who attended on behalf of the Thompson Nicola Regional District, was the only Kamloops councillor at the conference.

Relative skeleton crew represents Tournament Capital at Niagara Falls conference By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

After sending the majority of council in 2013, seven of Kamloops eight elected officials sat out this year’s Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference in Niagara Falls, Ont. Only Coun. Tina Lange attended the national convention, as a representative of the Thompson Nicola Regional District. It’s a reverse from last year, when Lange was the only member of council who did not attend the 2013 FCM conference in the

Lower Mainland. While FCM is typically one of the more expensive items in a councillor’s travel expenses — often coming in at more than $2,000 a person — Mayor Peter Milobar said that’s not the reason for the low travel numbers, nor was the decision influenced by the upcoming municipal election. Milobar said originally three council members were supposed to head to Niagara: Himself, former councillor Nancy Bepple and Lange. “I was booked to go and then when I

this year’s FCM attendance will be disappointed. “Conventional wisdom is we always travel if there’s some exotic eastern location, yet now how do you rationalize that with the idea we never travel because it’s an election year?” he said. “And neither one are true. It just happened to be that way this year.” Lange said she thinks the city was still well-represented at the convention. “I went to the resolution session, so I was part of that voting,” she said. “I represented the

Bepple resigned at the beginning of the year due to health issues, striking her name from the list. Coun. Marg Spina was in Europe for the duration of the conference and other councillors had personal and work commitments which prevented them from attending.

Sundhu counsel for International Criminal Court By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops lawyer Bill Sundhu has been accepted as a counsellor at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. In practical terms, Sundhu said, what that means is he’s entitled to practise at the court either for the defence or for a victims’ unit that might be brought to the ICC, which deals only with the most horrendous of crimes — geno-

cide, war crimes, crimes of aggression and crimes against humanity. It’s a natural flow from the work he did for his master’s degree, one of a select few chosen to study in a prestigious human-rights law program at Oxford University, studies that saw him focus on criminal law and terrorism. He’s had prior involvement with the ICC, Sundhu said, having spent time in the office of its prosecutor and been asked to write

BILL SINDHU

opinions on some matters before the court. For example, in 2008, he collaborated with other lawyers on a brief to the court on gender violence — the reality being that rape is now viewed as a weapon of

war in many countries. It’s not a court without challenges, he said. While 122 country, including Canada, signed the statute creating in 1998 — it officially was formed in 2002 — most of the acknowledged super powers in the world have not ratified the agreement. “It’s all we’ve got and we’ve got to make it work,” Sundhu said. “It represents globally the end of impunity for the people who commit the worst crimes.”

Asked how he could act as a defence lawyer for such people, Sundhu said his belief in the value of law itself helps — that everyone deserves the best defence possible — but acknowledged, “you have to have a really good philosophy of life. “You’re descending into the heart of darkness and you have to know how to get yourself out.”

Sundhu recalled the first time he thought about law as a profession, as a young child living in Williams Lake who accompanied his mother to an appointment with a lawyer to get some documents signed. He credits his interest in human rights to many aspects that have touched his life. He said the fact his mother lost all her fam-

ily in 1947 when Indian was partitioned to create Pakistan is a major factor, rooting into him an awareness of the issue. Studying international history for his bachelor of arts degree fuelled the interest, but the simple reality of his life perhaps fine-tuned it. “I’m fortunate to be able to do this,” he said. “It’s an obligation. We all belong to the human race.”

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The fee for the hockey academy at Valleyview secondary will be $900 for the school year.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

FROM HOCKEY TO BAND, SCHOOL FEES ARE SET

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops-Thompson board of education has approved a schedule of secondary-school fees for the 2014-2015 school year, which begins in September. The greatest single-subject fee is at Valleyview secondary for its hockey academy, where the various fees related to it total $900. The amount breaks out as $650 for external-coaching, $150 to use a dryland facility not at the school, equipment costs of $50 and Hockey Canada/B.C. Hockey insurance of $50. Students in the International Baccalaureate academy at NorKam secondary will be charged $400 to cover the cost of registering with the international organization through which the program is run, as well as the cost of marking exams, essays and other assessments.

Brocklehurst middle school also offers several academies with various fees, including aquatics ($350), soccer ($475), hockey ($250 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it is a different program than that at Valleyview), dance ($225) and baseball ($350). At Sa-Hali secondary, students registering for Adventure Tourism 12 will face an invoice for $150. The fee is to pay for facility and equipment rental, certification and transportation to activities for the students. Musical-instrument rental for students at Chase secondary will be $90. There is no fee for students in other schools in the district supplying musical instruments. Several schools are charging a $45 fee for physical education 10 through 12, including Barriere, Clearwater, Logan Lake, Sa-Hali, Valleyview and Westsyde. Beattie School of the Artsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; secondary campus has a different

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Several schools will charge a $45 fee for physical education classes in grades 10 through 12.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

student-fee structure that brings the total to either $105 or $150, depending on the grade level and number of minor courses taken. Trustees also approved school-improvement plans for Rayleigh, Sun Peaks and Heffley Creek elementaries, Valleyview secondary and the Twin Rivers Education Centre. Motions relating to board policies will also go to the next board meeting, which will be held at Logan Lake secondary on Monday, June 9, at 7 p.m. Included are a motion on plagiarism that would require all schools to develop a policy that includes guidance on what constitutes plagiarism and consequences for each violation, and a motion on when to fly flags at half-mast and a revision to the school-facilities lease policy to address the use of board properties by licensed day-care providers.

Teck lays off 10 at Highland Valley Copper By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Highland Valley Copper will shed 10 jobs as part of Teck Resources Ltd.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five per cent reduction in its workforce. The positions are all non-union. Company-wide, Teck will cut 600 positions. Corporate spokesman Chris Stannell told KTW on Friday, May 30, the cuts are in response to sagging commodity prices. Richard Boyce, president of Steelworkers Local 7619, called the job loss â&#x20AC;&#x153;kind of peculiar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Copper isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the doldrums,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Highland Valley Copper is doing quite well.â&#x20AC;? Boyce said his understanding is job losses are connected to an engineer, a trainer, in health and safety and the head of mine payroll. The mine near Logan Lake, about 45 minutes southwest of Kamloops, employs about 1,400 people. At the close of trading on Thursday, May 29, the most actively traded copper contract, for July delivery, fell 2.90 cents to settle at $3.17 per pound on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

WILL YOU FIND MORE FREEDOM TO EAT AND DRINK AT FESTIVALS?

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The provincial government may be pledging to bring down fences at festival beer gardens across the province, but don’t expect to wander all over Riverside Park at this year’s Rotary Ribfest with a cold one in hand. Event spokesman Bryce Herman said the Kamloops Daybreak Rotary Club is discussing how to handle the changes, which will allow people at festivals to roam the grounds freely with drinks instead of being corralled behind multiple fences. While there will likely be some changes to Ribfest’s beer gardens, Herman said there are too many questions that still need to be answered by the government about the new regulations. “The legislation really is not carved in stone 100 per cent and even talking to the regulatory people there, they’re not sure exactly of the process yet,” he said. Previous Ribfests have required a doublesteel construction fence that the city’s parks, recreation and cultural services director Byron McCorkell describes as “a huge logistical problem” — as well as a big expense for

event organizers. “It was a fairly significant piece of work that took days to do,” McCorkell said. Herman agrees the double fences have been difficult and costly to wrangle, but said the club isn’t sure how it will restrict the flow of alcohol during the event without them. “It’s about controlling access to minors,” he said. “And that’s some of our questions — in an open forum, how do you manage that? “So, we’re asking the regulatory people to give us guidance and, at this point, they’re going, ‘Well, that legislation is still in the process of being compiled.’” In the future, Herman said the Rotary Club might consider issuing wristbands to attendees over the age of 19, or the club may have to look at fencing the entire Ribfest perimeter. But, with this year’s event only two months away, he thinks it’s too soon to make that kind of major change. “We’ve been going on the assumption that everything is status quo,” Herman said. “It really changes the entire planning model to something totally different. Relaxed laws are a wonderful thing, not a problem in the big

scope of things, but it’s how you manage that.” McCorkell said there are still issues that need to be worked out under the new system, but thinks the new rules make more sense. “We serve beer at Blazer games,” he said, referring to the Western Hockey League contests at Interior Savings Centre. “There’s kids, there’s adults and we do it in a controlled way. The need for fencing becomes an issue of just one more piece.” The provincial Ministry of Justice also plans to introduce legislation to allow hard liquor sales at festivals, but Herman said Ribfest has no plans to add mixed drinks to its beverage lineup in 2014. “It’s not even on the radar for us this year,” he said, in part because it could interfere with already-signed sponsorship deals.

The third annual Ribfest will have mouths watering in Riverside Park from Aug. 8 to Aug. 10. It remains to be seen if Ribfest organizers — and those behind other events in Kamloops with beer gardens — will adopt changes in provincial regulations that no longer require beer-gardens patrons to be fenced in.

RUST NEVER SLEEPS By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

This kind of rust hits your pocketbook, not your car. A threat to worldwide coffee prices from a fungus called coffee rust is so severe the U.S. government is increasing efforts to help Central American farmers cope with a disease that strikes the world’s best beans. The fungus has caused more than $1 billion in damage across Latin American. It is especially deadly to Arabica coffee, the bean that creates the most high-end, specialty coffees. Bill Johnson, who operates Kamloopsbased Turtle Mountain Coffee Co., said he hasn’t yet felt the financial impact, but he knows it’s coming. “Not yet — I can purchase forward quite a way. I locked in at a low price.” Johnson said, however, prices jumped last year based on an anticipated drought in Brazil,

so he’s already experienced some higher prices. At Red Beard Roasters, owner Nate Johnson estimated his cost for beans has doubled since February. Unlike Turtle Mountain’s Johnson, he does not buy in sufficient quantity to lock in supply for a sustained period. “It’s really hurting us,” said the roaster and coffee house owner. “You can’t double the price of coffee.” Nate Johnson said he’s had to increase his coffee price by 15 per cent to compensate for his costs. “I don’t want to go any higher than that. In the Lower Mainland, it’s gone up faster because they have fewer independents.” He said he may have to go outside his normal fair-trade suppliers to compensate. Turtle Mountain is also outside its normal

supply chain “We are concerned because we know coffee rust is already causing massive amounts of devastation,’’ said Raj Shah, head of the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Shah is expected to announce a $5-million partnership with Texas A&M University’s World Coffee Research centre to try to eliminate the fungus. In addition to prices, the chief concern of the U.S. government is about the economic security of small farms abroad.

If farmers lose their jobs, it increases hunger and poverty in the region and contributes to violence and drug trafficking. Washington estimates production could be down anywhere from 15 per cent to 40 per cent in coming years — and that those losses could mean as many as 500,000 people could lose their jobs. Though some countries have brought the fungus under control, many of the poorer coffee-producing countries in Latin America don’t see the rust problem getting better anytime soon. Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama and Costa Rica have all been hit hard. Much of the blander, mass-produced coffee in Canada comes from Asia and other regions. Most of the richer, more expensive coffees are from small, highaltitude farms in Central America. Because the farms are smaller, farmers

there often don’t have enough money to buy the fungicides needed or lack the training to plant in ways that could avoid contamination. The rust, called “roya” in Spanish, is a fungus that is highly contagious due to airborne fungal spores. It affects different varieties, but the Arabica beans are especially susceptible. Rainy weather worsens the problem. “We don’t see an end in sight any time soon,’’ said Leonardo Lombardini of Texas A&M’s World Coffee Research. Larger companies, such as Starbucks and Keurig Green Mountain Inc., have multiple suppliers across the region and say they have so far been able to source enough coffee. “It’s a little bit too soon to tell what the impact will be on supply and long term quality over time,’’ said Lindsey Bolger, who heads up coffee sourcing for Keurig Green Mountain. — with files from Canadian Press

University close to hiring new law-school dean A new dean for Thompson Rivers University’s faculty of law could be announced within the next two weeks. TRU provost Uli Scheck said the hiring-committee recommendation has been received, negotiations are underway with the successful applicant and references are being checked. Chris Axworthy, the law school’s first dean, quit last July about 18 months after he was hired. Since then, founding assistant dean Anne Pappas has filled the position. Another new dean hired by the university from New Zealand has also seen her move to Kamloops delayed. Scheck said the immigration process had been proceeding when the temporary foreign-worker issue came to light and, in the ensuing changes made at the federalgovernment level, the new dean’s move has been pushed back to later in the year. Scheck said TRU had done its due diligence, but had to again assure the immigration department no Canadian has

been overlooked. “The situation is out of our hands,” he said.

Bronco relishing Leos experience By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

EREK YACHISON was understandably nervous as he donned a B.C. Lions practice jersey for the first time on Thursday, June 29. But, as soon the Winnipeg product took the turf at Hillside Stadium, as soon as the first pass of the day was thrown, he settled in. After all, it was just football. The Kamloops Broncos’ receiver was one of a number of rookies on hand for the B.C. Lions’ three-day rookie camp at Hillside, which wrapped up at the end of day on Saturday, May 31. Yachison is continuing to practise with the Lions on a day-to-day basis at main camp, which kicked off on Sunday, June 1, and he had not been cut from the roster as of Monday, June 2. The competition at rookie camp was tight — some of the players in attendance had experience at both the college and pro levels — and the learning curve was steep. At lunch on Friday, May 30, players could be seen studying playbooks in three-inch binders as they ate. “It was kind of overwhelming at first, but

I’m starting to settle in and everything’s slowing down, at least a little bit,” Yachison told KTW. “I’ve just been getting in my playbook and trying to keep my knowledge up to speed.” Yachison stands 6-foot-1, weighs 205 pounds and lined up at the wide-receiver position throughout camp. He said it’s easy to understand how people get overwhelmed at the camp — days begin at

The Kamloops Venom remain undefeated in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League play after posting a pair of wins at Memorial Arena on the weekend. Riley Peterson, with four goals and one assist, led the way for the Venom in their 11-9 victory over the Armstong Shamrocks on Sunday, June 1. Mitch Horseman made 26 saves for the victory between the pipes. On Saturday, May 31, Kyle Pauwels, Brady Jorgensen and Monty Chisholm had hat tricks in Kamloops’ 20-12 victory over the South Okanagan Flames.

Dalan Etter was the winning netminder. Jorgensen leads the league in scoring with 48 points, 28 of them goals. Peterson is second with 35 points, 11 of them goals. There are seven games remaining on the Venom’s TOJLL regular-season slate, the next one scheduled for Saturday, June 7, when the Kelowna Raiders are in town. Game time is 7:30 p.m. at Memorial.

RiverDogs drop three The Kamloops RiverDogs sit fourth in the midget AAA B.C. Minor Baseball Association ranks after posting a 1-3 record in weekend action on the Lower Mainland. On Sunday, June 1, Kamloops (14-8) split a pair of games against Vancouver, losing 6-4 in the early game before bouncing back with a 13-9 victory. The RiverDogs dropped a pair of tilts against Richmond on Saturday, May 31, falling 2-1 and 9-5. Kamloops is next in action in Cloverdale on June 14. The league’s all-star game will be held in Chilliwack on June 21. The Norm Daley and Company Canada Day Classic tournament gets underway in Kamloops on June 26.

learning curve.” Yachison wasn’t sure how much longer he would be with the Leos when he spoke with KTW. As a junior player, the Lions can keep him as long as they desire, as long as they feel they have a use for him. He’s hoping he can land a spot practising with the team before returning to the Broncos for his fourth junior season when they kick off on July 26. Paopao didn’t delve into evaluations of players, but said he thought the experience would benefit the Bronco. The receivers’ coach described Yachison as a young man with ability, who could apply what he had learned in the days ahead of him. Yachison is doing everything in his power to put his best foot forward with the Lions, hoping to extend his CFL experience for as long as possible. “I’ve gotten some good feedback,” Yachison said. “The coaching is the highest level, obviously, so I’m learning things — learning things fast. “Jumping from junior to CFL is a massive jump and I feel like I’m doing a pretty good job, kind of right in the middle, getting up there to pro speed.”

Hometown Heat avoid defeat

The Kamloops Heat kicked off the home portion of their Pacific Coast Soccer League schedule with a win and a tie at Exhibition Park on the weekend. Justin Wallace scored the lone goal for the Heat in a 1-1 tie against Khalsa Sporting of Coquitlam on Saturday, May 31.

“Khalsa is one of the top teams in the PCSL summer season and we felt we were going to be in for a tough game and we were,” Heat head coach Sean

Wallace said. The opposition did not prove as tough on Sunday, June 1, when Kamloops vanquished Surrey 7-1. Enzo Paal (3), Austin Jones (2), Kyle Halvorson and Ryan Glanville reached the scoresheet for the Heat. Travis Froehlich was between the pipes

for Kamloops on the weekend. The Heat (2-1-1) will play a pair of matches in the Lower Mainland this weekend before returning to Hillside Stadium on June 14, when the Vancouver Thunderbirds will be in town. Game time is 2 p.m. Go online to

Applegath cracks provincial team After provincewide tryouts, along with game and tournament evaluations, the B.C Minor Baseball Association named Liam Applegath of Kamloops to its 13-andunder selects roster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Liam might be the hardest-working, naturally gifted kid Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had the pleasure to work with,â&#x20AC;? Kamloops Minor Baseball Association division co-ordinator and coach Rich Denis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His baseball talent is off the charts and due in large part to the countless hours devoted by his grandfather, Peter Black, who taught him not just how to play the game but how to excel at it.â&#x20AC;? More than 120 players tried out for the team, which will compete in the Best of the Northwest Tournament, which gets underway on June 20 in Spokane. Applegath is a member of the peewee AA Kamloops RiverDogs.

Jared Pringle, James Bates and Dylan Kooistra combined on the mound to lead Kamloops to a 6-4 victory over Vernon in Game 1. In the second matchup, Vernon used aggressive base running and capitalized on Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mental errors to bounce back with a 9-7 victory. The RiverDogs are playing a doubleheader against Rutland this weekend.

What to watch for in Stanley Cup final By Stephen Whyno

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Here are five things to watch in the Stanley Cup final between the New York Rangers and Los Angeles Kings:

Rust vs. rest

Thanks to a favourable schedule, the Rangers get six days between the end of their Eastern Conference final victory over the Montreal Canadiens and the start of the Cup final. Meanwhile, the Kings go from beating the Chicago Blackhawks on the road on Sunday (June 1) night to playing on Wednesday, June 4, back home in Los Angeles. New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best chance at making this a series is pouncing on a tired opponent in Game 1. If Los Angeles is just rolling along, it could be a short series.

Vets vs. newcomers

The Kings have 14 players back from the team that won the Cup in 2012, including goaltender Jonathan Quick, who captured the Conn Smythe Trophy. The Rangers have just two players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brad Richards and Martin St.

Louis â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who have even appeared in a final. Having a championship core together, especially with Canadian Olympians Drew Doughty and Jeff Carter leading the way, could give Los Angeles an edge. Then again, the Kings didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much experience when they won two years ago.

Coming-out party

Anze Kopitar is well-known in hockey circles as a star. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Selke Trophy finalist because of his stellar two-way play and also leads the Kings in scoring in the playoffs, with 24 points in 21 games. On the West Coast in a market thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

not hockey-crazy 11 months out of the year, the Slovenian sensation has been playing amid relative anonymity. The Cup final spotlight should give Kopitar some muchdeserved exposure for more casual fans.

Trades paying off

The most memorable move at the 2014 NHL trade deadline has paid major dividends for the Rangers, as Martin St. Louis is tied as their leading scorer through three rounds. Even if Ryan Callahan re-signs with the Tampa Bay Lightning and even though the conditional second-round pick became a first because the Rangers made the

Eastern final, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth it. In Los Angeles, Marian Gaborik is proving to be a steal as the Kingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leading goalscorer, with 12 in these playoffs.

Crowning moment?

With a Vezina Trophy and Olympic gold and silver medals on his resume, Henrik Lundqvist, The King, has long been considered an elite goaltender. But, this is his first trip to a Stanley Cup final in his ninth NHL season. Lundqvist has a playoff-best .928 save percentage and is the major reason why the underdog Rangers have a chance at winning this series.

Officials say potash experiment has killed zebra mussels at infested harbour By Chinta Puxley CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — Manitoba says a unique experiment using liquid potash has halted a zebra-mussel invasion in one of the province’s harbours. Officials say Winnipeg Beach will be reopened after it was closed two weeks ago. The harbour was one of four sealed off with a silk curtain and pumped with liquid potash until a lethal concentration for the mussels was reached. The technique has been tried in a closed quarry, but it’s believed to be the first time liquid potash has been used in open water. Scientists who study the mussels say the experiment in Manitoba is a “golden opportunity’’ to find a way to prevent their proliferation in water bodies around the world. Rob Nedotiafko, who co-ordinated the treatment for Manitoba Conservation, said all the zebra mussels have been killed at Winnipeg Beach, where they were first found last October. “It went really well,’’ he said, adding there is no way to know exactly how many zebra mussels in the harbour were destroyed. After the harbours were sealed off, live imported zebra mussels were lowered into the water in cages as a way of monitoring the experiment. When those mussels died, scientists knew the potash had been a success, Nedotiafko said. “It’s essentially a canary in a coal mine situation,’’ he said. “The potash concentrations that were achieved had that desirable effect on the sample mussels, so the assumption is that everything else that was in there was also killed as well.’’ The province sealed off the harbours after the May long weekend and predicted they would be reopened by early June. The treatment is

on schedule and the four targeted spots are expected to be free of zebra mussels in

the next few weeks, Nedotiafko said. Conservation Minister Gord

Mackintosh said the province knew it had to act if there was to be a “fighting chance’’ of

keeping the mussels out of Lake Winnipeg. The potash plan will cost $500,000,

but Mackintosh said it could save millions down the road if the mussels are eradi-

cated. The mussels reproduce quickly and can disrupt the food chain.

Amazing things happen when we give where we live.

U.S. takes stance on climate change DNA to be key in murder trial By Jennifer Ditchburn CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The federal government is responding to U.S. President Barack Obama’s latest climate-change action plan with a shrug — been there, done that. But observers of environmental policy say the United States will take a big leap ahead of Canada in meeting its greenhouse gas-emissions targets for 2020. The U.S. Enviromental Protection Agency (EPA) plan would place new regulations on existing coal-fired electricity plants starting in 2020. Obama is making sure the reductions happen by making an executive order via the EPA, rather than through Congress, where previous attempts at action have failed. The White House also recently released a National Climate Change Assessment, with dire

warnings on the impacts of severe weather on the nation. “The Conservatives have said for years that we need to wait for the U.S. to take leadership. “Well, here’s the leadership,’’ NDP environment critic Megan Leslie said to uproarious laughter by Conservatives during question period Monday. “Obama’s taking action and, yet still, we wait for the Conservatives to introduce their long delayed oil and gas regulations.’’ Prime Minister Stephen Harper noted Canada announced similar action on coal-fired electricity plants in 2012 and he predicted the percentage drop in emissions from those plants is likely to be proportionately greater than those proposed by Washington. “The NDP praises the action today of the Obama administration, acting two years after this

government acted and taking actions that don’t go near as far as this government went,’’ Harper said. But, coal is by far the largest source of greenhouse-gas emissions in the United States, versus oil and gas in Canada. The economic impact of the coal regulations will likely make it a bigger political sacrifice for Obama than it was for Harper. Regulations on Canada’s largest oil and gas emitters have yet to be released, seven years after they were first discussed. Some American experts are predicting that, should the coal measures go through, the United States will be able to come close to its United Nations target of a 17 per cent reduction from 2005 greenhousegas levels by 2020. Environment Canada’s latest figures suggest

Canada will get only halfway there, despite Harper tying himself to the United States’ reduction target at an international conference in Copenhagen in 2009. “This puts huge pressure on Canada,’’ said Simon Dyer of the Pembina Institute. “It emphasizes what a laggard we are on this file. Using the excuse of we can’t act because the U.S. isn’t acting doesn’t ring true. U.S. is on track and we are not.’’ Conservative MP Peter Kent, the former environment minister, argued that Canada doesn’t get enough credit given how hard it is to cut emissions from a system where much of the energy is already clean — namely hydroelectric power. “On this file, I think Canada measures up pretty well,’’ Kent said. But, comparing what the United States has pledged to do about coal with Canada’s actions is

like comparing apples and oranges, said David McLaughlin of the University of Waterloo’s environment faculty. “What we see today in the U.S. is at least an attempt to try to close that Copenhagen gap and make more progress. “They’re going after the single biggest source of emissions for them. “That’s a big deal, any way you cut it.’’ McLaughlin, who was formerly the head of the now-defunct National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE), also pointed out provinces such as Ontario deserve much of the thanks for reducing emissions from coal-fired plants. “The equivalent [to the EPA announcement] would have been for us to announce a similar push on the oil and gas regs, going after our biggest emitting sector — that would be something to talk about.’’

PRINCE GEORGE — The prosecution in a Prince George, murder trial claims that DNA taken from objects and clothing found in Cody Legebokoff’s vehicle and apartments has been matched to each of the four alleged victims. The young B.C. man is accused of four counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of 35-year-old Jill Stuchenko, 35-year-old Cynthia Maas , 23-year-old Natasha Montgomery and 15-year-old Loren Leslie. Crown prosecutor Joseph Temple told the opening day of Legebokoff’s trial that three of alleged victims were found between 2009 and 2010 with severe injuries, while DNA evidence links Legebokoff to Montgomery, whose body has not been found. The court heard that Legebokoff was arrested in November 2010 after he was pulled over near a remote logging road and police and a conservation officer later found Leslie’s severely beaten body. Temple told the court Legebokoff initially denied ever knowing Leslie, then later said he met her online, but that she injured herself.

SENIORS’ WEEK

B.C.’s first seniors’ advocate coming to town

Isobel Mackenzie, the province’s first seniors’ advocate, will be the keynote speaker at a seniors’ symposium in Kamloops on Friday, June 13. Mackenzie was appointed to the position in March by Health Minister Terry Lake, the Kamloops-North Thompson MLA. Her position is the first of its kind in Canada and is framed to be similar to that of B.C.’s representative for children and youth, Mary Ellen TurpelLafond, providing an independent voice for seniors and having the power to investigate allegations of abuse and monitor the government care system. The symposium, Age Friendly Cities and Rural Communities, will be held at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way in Aberdeen.

It is being sponsored by Oncore Central Services (OCS) and the City of Kamloops. Sessions planned include: • Supporting Our Aging Loved Ones, What You Need To Know: How to effectively prepare for and communicate with

our aging loved ones through transitions they may be experiencing. Topics to be examined include changing dynamics, communication with aging loved ones and family, signs to watch for, self-care and available resources. A panel of community-service providers

will give information about available community resources and answer questions. Delivered in partnership with the City of Kamloops, United Way Thompson-NicolaCariboo, Chartwell and Interior Health Authority. • Canada Pension

Plan and Old Age Security (OAS)/Getting what you are entitled to: An overview of both CPP/OAS and the sub-programs within the larger programs – retirement, postretirement, disability, survivor, death and children’s benefits, as well as basic OAS and

the three low-income supplements. The presentation will cover qualifying and disqualifying conditions, recent changes to both programs and portability (collecting outside the country). Finally, information about calculation provisions that can change entitlement is provided, including child-rearing drop-out, pension sharing, credit splitting, estimates and involuntary separation. • How to Excel at Active Aging: A fun, interactive presentation providing information about City of Kamloops health and wellness programming, as well as some “get moving” activities for seniors. • InvestRight- Be Fraud Aware: The InvestRight seminar looks at how to spot a warning sign and understand the risks, where to call to report a scam, what questions

to ask and where to research or get a second opinion. • It Takes a Village to Support a Senior: An overview of background information about housing in Kamloops and some solutions for safe, affordable and appropriate housing for seniors. • Personal Safety and You, At Home and on the Street: Simple tips and tricks focusing on seniors’ safety issues that will assist people in being more aware of potential risks. The seminar will show how to reduce the likelihood of crime or victimization by engaging in simple crimeprevention and safety practices The June 13 symposium is open to anyone who works with, lives with or assists seniors. To register, call 250828-3500 and reference program number 228182.

EMPTY BOWLS FOR HOMES By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

ILLIAN ARMSTRONG had met some of the more visible members of Kamloops’ homeless community through her after-school job at A&W. “We get the couple people who’ll come in and you know they’re homeless and we give them free food,” said the Grade 12 South Kamloops secondary (SKSS) student. Nearly all the people she met were men — and none of them were young. But, an SKSS art show running at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre aims to show some of the other faces of homelessness in the city. The show, Empty Bowls, features about 25 paintings from senior art students, as well as about 85 bowls built and thrown by SKSS students of all ages, with help from Grade 6 students and Lloyd George elementary. All bowls are on sale for $10, with proceeds going to

the Kamloops Y Women’s Emergency Shelter. Armstong has bowls in the show, as well as a painting that aims to put the spotlight on the difficulties of youth homelessness. “It’s [youth homelessness] actually a thing, and no one really realizes that I think,” she said. The painting, a close up of a young boy in stormy black and white, forced her to paint in a rougher style than she usually would. “It’s almost stressful because I want to make my piece powerful so people get the point,” she said. “It’s not just another painting. It’s more important than just a piece I’d be doing for myself.” Teacher Lisa Yamaoka said the bowls helped introduce her younger students to the concept of donating work for the good of someone else. “Some of the Grade 6 kids said, ‘I want to buy my bowl back,’” she said. Armstrong said her Grade 6 buddy wanted to keep her bowl, too, but got excited by the idea

of helping raise money. Their creation is blue on the inside, yellow with polka dots on the outside, with a bird on it. “I think she sort of unintentionally connected it to freedom,” Armstrong said. “There’s a little path of the bird’s feet going across the bowl, like making your own pathway.” For the older students, Yamaoka had a representative from the city come speak to her class about homelessness in the community. “The kids were just engaged with the facts of how much employment insurance is, and how many homeless people there are in Kamloops, and where they go if there’s no home, or hidden homelessness,” she said. “Because I have all walks of life in my classroom I think they could connect with, yeah, I know that kid that couch surfs, or that situation.” Empty Bowls runs Today (June 3) from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, 7 W Seymour St.

Photography: Sunset Workshop

Beautiful sunsets deserve to be captured. In this workshop, you will learn how to use your tripod to get longer exposures. You will also learn to use camera filters and how to “paint” with light. Come out with us to get some silky water shots and look for some nice silhouettes.

Notes on: Tommy Alto � WHO: Tommy Alto is composed of Thor Vanderkam (lead vocals, rhythm huitar), Ben Klassen (vocals, lead Guitar), Chris Young (bass) and Chartwell Kerr (vocals, drums). Vanderkam describes the band as indie/math-rock/Midwest emo. � WHAT: Curious about the band’s show? Vanderkam gives some insight: “If you’re in the front row, prepare to be hit in the face with our sweat. We’re only partially joking, which is pretty gross. But, seriously, we’re really high-output live. We want people to walk away from our shows and talk about the insane experience for weeks after. The last thing we want to be is average.” � WHEN: “We’ve got a gigantic three-month long, 48-date tour of Canada and the western USA coming up this summer, and a new album called ATLAS \\ PATTERSON coming

McArthur Island Park Jun 10 Tue

out on June 3rd (the day before we leave!)” The tour stops in Kamloops on Friday, June 6, for a show at The Dirty Jersey, 1200 Eighth St. Doors open at 8 p.m. and opening act The Fineprint starts off at 9 p.m. Admission is $10 at the door. � WHERE: tommyalto.com � HOW: “We wanted to get girls,” Vanderkam said. “And, for some reason, we thought the best way to do that would be do drive around in a mini-bus playing shows and sweating on stage and not showering afterwards. Seems to be working so far. We’re just as clueless as you probably are.” Notes On is a feature that focuses on local musicians.

Practical concerns could temporarily stall plans that are a bit fantastical, Sagittarius. But don’t fret, you will have an opportunity to put some plans in motion soon enough.

You may experience a conict with others at work this week, Capricorn. It is best to roll with the punches instead of causing a stir. Allow the situation to unfold.

BILL “WILLY” CHARLES MCCALLUM

Gone but not forgotten.

EDWARD JOHN WALTON Retired Staff Sergeant Edward John Walton passed away at his home in Summerland on Wednesday, January 29, 2014. Ed was born in Neptune, Sask. September 28,1925 to John and Gertrude (McIntyre) Walton. He was preceded in death by his wife of 52 yrs. Eva (Hay). Ed was a loving father, husand, grandfather, great-grandfather and a friend to many. He will be forever in the hearts and sadly missed by his daughters, Dian Benson, Sandra Embury and Judith (Jay) Wolfe. He is survived by his 14 grandchildren: Sean, Kelly and Tim Hughes, Joe Sieben, Clinton Pearson, Mathew Embury, Ed Shaw (Krista), Dana Babcock (Domenic), Kerri Dodd (Jeff), Terri Gobbi (Chris), Joeal Wolfe (Ryan) Jigh and Jacey Wolfe and 21 great-grandchildren.

Bill was born and lived in Kamloops most of his life. He could often be found at the local pool halls or the horse racing grounds. He shared a passion of fishing with his son, Steve, and gardening with his daughter, Johanne. Bill was his grandchildrens’ biggest fan in their sport activities; he rarely missed a game.

Ed had an enthusiasm for life and a generous spirit and a great love for his family. He will be remembered by his smile and big hugs.

A Celebration of Life for Bill will be held on Saturday, June 7th, 2014 at 2:00pm in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel with Chaplain Mary Widmer officiating.

Ed loved his years at Paul Lake and enjoyed having his “girls” around and taking his grandchildren water skiing, ski-dooing and sledding. He was always willing to lend a hand to his neighbours. At Ed’s request there was no funeral or memorial service.

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.

Each Loss ...

In Memory of

JOSEPH KOPEC

JOSEPH (JOE) KOPEC 1935 ~ 2011

Passed away June 3, 2011 Nothing can ever take away The love a heart holds dear. Fond memories linger everyday Remembrance keeps him near.

It’s been three years and we still can’t believe you are gone. We want you to know you are never far away. In our hearts you are always there.

Sadly missed and remembered by the Tash Family

We miss you, Forever loved Your Loving Family

Each loss is very diͿerent, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

FTER STAGING five large focusgroup sessions in North America a few years ago, Subaru was surprised that few taking part knew the company made a mid-size car — the Legacy. Those surveyed recognized the brand and emblem and were aware of the Impreza, WRX/STI and, of course, the Outback and Forester. But, the Legacy result was a shocker because the company has been building the Legacy for 25 years at its North American assembly plant in Lafayette, Ind. The bottom line was something had to be done — and, now it has, with the 2015 model that starts rolling down the production line as this is being written and arrives in Canadian Subaru shops later this summer. The company had previously decided to bring a new Legacy to market for the 2015 model year, but the focus groups underscored the need for some serious changes. Top of the list was styling. Subaru is an engineering-driven company, which is why its products last so long, which interestingly enough, was near the top of the focus group findings. Subaru says 96 per cent of Legacys are still on the road. At last November’s Los Angeles Auto Show, Subaru showed its Legacy Concept designed by its L.A. styling studio. Looking like little was needed to go from concept to full production; the most prominent feature was the coupe-like roof profile thanks to a steeply raked windshield along with a “nose cone” fusing the bumper and grille into one unit. While the wheelbase is the same, engineers enlarged

With much changed exterior styling, the 2015 Legacy mid-size sedan retains Subaru’s core values of strong build-quality, reliability and its famed Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system.

the cabin. Rear-seat legroom was made almost 10 centimetres longer. The trunk grew from 416 litres in the 2014 model to 425 litres for 2015. This was no easy task because the rear end also houses the AWD aft differential and half-shafts, as well as the multilink suspension system. One of the highest recognition factors among the focus groups was Subaru’s famed full-time Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive, which they didn’t mess with. Subaru stuck with that 2.5-litre DOHC “boxer” four-cylinder (175 hp, 174 lb/ft of torque) and the 3.6litre DOHC “boxer” sixcylinder (256 hp, 247 lb/ft). Also unchanged is Subaru’s Lineartronic CVT transmission with simulated six-speed manual shift, if needed, with paddles on the

steering wheel. What attracted my attention is a Canada-only version of the base 2.5-litre with six-speed manual transmission. Fuel numbers for the 2.5-litre CVT are 7.7/5.4/6.7L/100 km city/ highway/combined and 10.5/6.9/8.9L/100 km for the 3.6-litre. Fuel consumption of the manual is still being calculated at this writing. All models are equipped with an Eco gauge between the speedo and tach that encourages fuel responsibility with coloured bars. The suspension geometry, spring rates and damper tuning were all re-worked with a new electric power steering system giving better feel. The biggest change in the drivetrain is the introduction of torque vectoring, first seen on the WRX and

STI performance cars. What it does is take the stability/ traction control system and allows it to apply slight braking on the inside front wheel making the Legacy more planted in a corner. My co-driver and I both agreed the 3.6-litre model was very taut and a joy to drive fast through the many winding roads outside of Lafayette where we were given pre-production versions to test. The area is lush with rolling hills and greenery personifying what the heartland of America should look and feel like. Lafayette, itself, had block after block of homes all different from each other, not the cookie cutter subdivisions that continue to despoil Ontario. But, back to the 3.6-litre which reminded me very

much of the feel and handling of the Mercedes-Benz C350 4Matic, with its quick response to steering inputs and crisp braking. And speaking of braking, Subaru optionally offers EyeSight that includes precollision braking, pre-collision brake assist, pre-collision throttle management, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning and lane-sway warning. Using two small frontfacing cameras mounted on either side of the rearview mirror, the system, among other things, can bring the Legacy to a full stop before a collision with a car in front. One of the exercises during the press introduction was to drive the Legacy up to 30 km/h and lift the foot off the gas and not touch the brake and let the system stop

the Legacy before it struck a paper sign with an image of a car on it. The first time I chickened out. Still moving just under 30 km/h and about five meters before the image, I hit the brakes. It was pure instinct. The instructor riding with me said it was normal the first time and told me to do another pass. The second time took everything I had not to stomp on the pedal, but I didn’t and the Legacy stopped inches from the image. At the end of the day, I drove the 2.5-litre, which, again, displayed the road tracking ability of the Subaru AWD system that Subaru has been honing for close to three decades. X See SMART A21

Not as flexible in terms of torque as the 3.6-litre, the CVT responded well without having to resort to activating the paddle shifters, which always says to me the drivetrain is working efficiently. But I did wonder what the

integration, rear-view camera, Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity and audio streaming, iPod control capability, USB port and an auxiliary input jack. The multi-touch display offers swipe and scrolling gestures, similar to smartphones and tablets.

When the new Legacys arrive, pricing for the 2.5-litre runs from $23,495 for the base manual and $24,795 for the base CVT to $32,395 for the Limited with Technology Package. The 3.6 Touring starts at $30,955 and tops out at $35,395 for the Limited with Technology Package.
