Sentencing today for man who stabbed girlfriend to death By Tim Petruk

Gerald Peters and Deborah Joseph used to drink a lot, but neither of them have had a drop of alcohol in more than a year-and-a-half. In that time, Peters, has been in a jail cell. Joseph has been in a grave. Peters pleaded guilty this week to manslaughter — an 11th-hour plea bargain on the day a jury was to be selected before which he would have stood trial on a charge of second-degree murder. He was 48 on Oct. 20, 2012, and living with Joseph, his girlfriend
of the same age, in a trailer on East Shuswap Road — a few blocks from the Kamloops Rural RCMP detachment and the entrance to Sun Rivers. In the early afternoon of that day, Peters flagged down his brother and sister-in-law, who were driving by on East Shuswap, asking for a ride for him and Joseph. They obliged and drove the couple to Cooper’s Foods in Valleyview. In the car, Peters and Joseph were happy and sober. They talked about buying a new vehicle and about tying the knot. There was no indication they were hours away from tragedy. X See I DID NOT A16

Students cite class sizes The few kids who protested labour dispute spoke of classroom challenges By Dale Bass
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
While a mass student walkout yesterday (June 4) did not materialize, a smattering of kids from various schools in Kamloops did leave classes to add their voice to the ongoing labour dispute between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and provincial government. A group of about 10 students walked out of Beattie School of the Arts’ secondary campus on Ninth Avenue, some with placards in hand. Brendan Stokes said he transferred to Beattie School of the Arts from Brock middle school for Grade 9 because he was tired of “the emotional stress of the teachers” at Brock “with large classes and many students needing or asking for extra help.” Shanna Dewaard,
a Grade 8 student at Beattie, said she also chose the school in hopes of avoiding larger classes she knows exist in other secondaries in the city. Even at Beattie, however, Shanna said class size is an issue. “Teachers can’t help everybody they want to,” she said. “They want to give that extra support, but it’s hard.” Grade 8 student Rebecca Mayrhofer said she wants to succeed in school, but finds it difficult. “Because a lot of people need more help than I do and, sometimes, I can’t get help,” she said. “And it’s not the teachers’ fault.” At Valleyview secondary, Bailey Lukow and Keenen Warren were debating on whether to join fellow students who had planned to protest via a walkout. Bailey, a Grade 9 stu-
dent, said she wanted to join the protest, but felt that, with classmates on the sidewalk with their protest signs, “I might be able to get some help in a class I need it in and can’t get it. “The classes are really, really big and you don’t get all the help you need.” Keenen, a student taking classes in grades 10 and 11, agreed. “Every single teacher I have is frustrated with how big the classes are,” he said. “So many students and they all want one-onone help and the teachers can’t do it all.” He spoke of one socials-studies teacher who, apparently frustrated one day at his inability to handle all requests for help, “threw his arms in the air and just walked out.” Shay Paul, a Grade 8 student at Beattie, said
she always sees teachers spending their breaks and lunch hours helping students. She transferred to Beattie from Valleyview to get away from large classes, noting there were as many as 37 students in her socials-studies class. Jacob Neigel, a Grade 8 student at Beattie, knows he needs a good education to be successful, but pointed to larger class sizes as being a challenge. “It makes it harder to learn. There are just too many people and not enough people to help. “When it comes down to it, you need school,” he added, acknowledging there are days he just doesn’t want to go. “You can’t do anything without school.” � For more on the sparse student walkout, turn to page A4. � Teachers will be on strike today as part of the union’s job action. � The LRB has ruled the 10% pay cut to teachers is legal.

Cat killer will be sentenced on July 4 By Tim Petruk
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man convicted earlier this year of strangling his pet cat will learn his fate next month. Steven Seidel will be sentenced in Kamloops provincial court on Friday, July 4. Judge Chris Cleaveley has found Seidel guilty of the Criminal Code offence of causing unnecessary pain or suffering to an animal. He also found Seidel guilty of two counts under the Prevention of
Human remains discovery not suspicious
Cruelty to Animals Act, but those were stayed in favour of the more serious offence. Seidel faces up to 18 months in jail and/or a $10,000-fine and could receive up to a lifetime ban on owning animals. “He [Seidel] stran-
gled and killed the cat when he was angry,” Cleaveley said in his ruling. “It was the easiest way to get rid of the cat.” Cleaveley rejected an estimate by Seidel that his unneutered male cat, named Oreo,
lost consciousness in less than a minute. Cleaveley also noted the struggling cat left scratch marks on Seidel’s arms. “It would have been obvious when Oreo was clawing at him, his actions were causing
the animal pain and suffering.” Cleaveley said. “A reasonable person would realize strangling a cat, clawing for its life, would subject it to unnecessary pain and suffering.” The law allows owners of animals to

Kamloops RCMP do not yet know how a human skull and bone came to be in a remote area southeast of the city. The remains were turned up by ATV riders the night of Sunday, June 1, near White Lake. While police have not released specifics as to what remains were found, the quadders who discovered the remains told media they found the skull first, then hunted around the area and turned up another bone. Cpl. Cheryl Bush said police found nothing suspicious at the scene and have turned the investigation over to the B.C. Coroners Service, which will determine the identity of the remains. “Once identify is known and the circumstances surrounding their disappearance is looked into, it will be determined if further investigation is required,” Bush said. She could not say whether the remains appear to be male or female, how long they have been at the site or how they might have come to be there.

Get sunscreen ready — summer should be a scorcher By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Enjoy the rain while it lasts. Kamloopsians, as warm, dry weather is on tap for summer in the Tournament Capital. “I guess the long and short of it is, the overall pattern we’re expecting is warmer and dryer,” said Gina Ressler, meteorologist with The Weather Network. Ressler said a developing ridge in the jet stream above B.C. is what is leading forecasters to predict the desert-like weather Kamloops will again be experiencing in 2014. The jet stream, a ribbon of fast-moving air in the upper atmosphere, generally travels from west to east across Canada. When a ridge develops, it arches north, pulling with it warmer, dryer air up from the south. The temperature is expected to be warmer than average in
2014, much like the summer of 2013 — in the low 30s for much of July and August. Despite a wet spring, Ressler predicted less rain in June, July and August. The ridge won’t be the only consideration as the summer progresses. “Also in the West Coast, something we are watching as we head later into the summer is going to be the developing El Nino,” Ressler told KTW. “We’re not in an El Nino pattern right now. We’re still in a neutral pattern, but there’s fairly high confidence that we will be developing into an El Nino pattern either later in the summer or early into the fall. “These patterns, typically, are associated with warmerthan-normal temperatures across Western Canada.” Coupled with the warmth will be what Ressler called normal to below-normal amounts of precipitation, which she
said might be of concern when it comes to forest-fire risk. The meteorologist did caution precipitation forecasts tend to carry more uncertainty than temperature predictions, impacted as they are by storms and localized showers. Kevin Skrepnek, provincial fire-information officer with B.C.’s Wildfire Management Branch, said the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations tends to look at shorter-term forecasts, noting it is difficult to predict summer fire trends very far in advance. “There’s a lot of long-term prediction models out there,” he said. “For the most part, though, from the wildfire perspective, we focus on a much shorter-term forecast. “We typically look seven to 10 days out and that’s going to give us the most accurate picture of what we can anticipate.” Skrepnek said the region has had average to below-average fire activity so far this year.

Most students remained in class By Dale Bass
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Most students in Kamloops stayed in school on Wednesday, June 4, ignoring a call from others around the province to make it a day of protest. Kamloops-Thompson school district Supt. Terry Sullivan said reports from schools about an hour after the protests were to begin indicated “students, with very few exceptions, are in class.� At Beattie School of the Arts’ secondary campus, about 10 students walked out, carrying signs
declaring education “isn’t a privilege, it’s a right� and noting the lockout of teachers imposed last week by the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association is affecting their education. Principal Barb Hamblett came out shortly after and told the students to go back to class or she would call their parents to pick them up. A couple of students replied they were on public property and could be there. They told Hamblett their parents had given them permission to take part in the protest. Sullivan said principals were

told to call parents of students not in class and ask them to pick up their children if they refused to return to class. “We do not want students wandering around disrupting the day,� Sullivan said. “Even though students may be on public property, they cannot be engaged in activities that disrupt the operation of a school. In those situations, we do have the authority to act.� At Valleyview secondary, KTW was asked to leave the school property, but was told students could talk with a reporter if they were on public property.

Accused killer released on bail By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The parents of a young Kelowna woman beaten to death 21 years ago watched the man who will undergo a second trial in her death freed on bail by a B.C. Supreme Court justice. Neil Snelson will be allowed to reside under curfew terms at the home of his sister and brother-in-law outside Kelowna. Arguments and evidence given during the bail hearing fall under a publication ban. Snelson was released on bail from Kamloops Law Courts on Tuesday, June 3. According to news reports Snelson has been in jail since late 2009, when he was arrested in the death of 19-year-old Jennifer Cusworth — a high-profile death in Kelowna in 1993 without arrests until Snelson was taken into custody 16 years
later, based on a DNA match. Originally charged with first-degree murder, a jury in 2011 found Snelson guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter. News reports said the jury determined Snelson’s drinking that evening made him less culpable. He was sentenced to 15 years in jail. But, an appeal court ruled some of the evidence allowed at trial should not have been considered. It ordered a new trial, to be held in Kamloops. “We want justice for our daughter,” said Jean Cusworth, who made annual appeals for more than a decade asking for new information in her daughter’s death and attended the trial. The Crown alleges Snelson, a windowblinds installer and church parishioner, bludgeoned the college student to death
Supreme court convicts curber By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A B.C. Supreme Court justice has ruled a Pinantan curber who tried to sell a stolen boat to undercover Mounties was “willfully blind” to its questionable past. That boat, a 2006 Campion Allante, was stolen. The Crown alleged Kevin Peel tried to sell the boat when he was visited by undercover Mounties in November 2012. RCMP were alerted by the boat’s rightful owner, a Calgary firefighter who saw his former boat advertised on the Kijiji website in Kamloops. It went missing from a Peachland condo parking lot months earlier. Peel was convicted on Tuesday, June 3, of possession of stolen property over $5,000 and trafficking in stolen property. “I do not believe Mr. Peel and do not have a reasonable doubt,” Justice Sheri Donegan said. “If Mr. Peel didn’t know the boat was stolen property, it was because
after having sex with her. She was found in a ditch two days after she vanished from a house party. “We’ve been doing this for so many years, it just carries on,” said father Terry. Her parents said they are disappointed Snelson, now 47, has been granted bail pending his new trial. “I don’t want him out on the street,” Jean said. “I worry someone else will go through what we’ve done.” Snelson must be at his sister’s home between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. Otherwise he can only leave for purposes of work or if accompanied by named members of his family or an adult approved by a bail supervisor. He must not consume alcohol or drugs and is banned from possessing weapons. A date has not been set for Snelson’s new trial.

he was willfully blind.” The trial heard Peel, a curber — broker, of cars, trucks, boats, motorcycle and everything else that rolls — took no steps to verify obvious problems in paperwork. He testified he relied in part on a lien check. Donegan said that stated reliance by a broker with 30 years experience “is incapable of belief.” Peel testified he relied on documents given to him by another curber in the Kootenays. But, Donegan said, Peel overlooked obvious problems in the documentation and should have been highly suspicious. Peel’s defence lawyer argued his client advertised the boat online and took no steps to conceal it from public scrutiny. Donegan, however, said that could also be consistent with a seller attempting to be deliberately ignorant about the boat’s shady history. A date for sentencing has not been fixed.
Computer glitch led to free parking Parking in downtown Kamloops today (June 5) is expected to revert to a pay system following a problem yesterday that created free parking. According to John Ramsay, the city’s bylaw-service supervisor, a supplier’s server malfunction in France led to all pay stations being offline. As a result, parking downtown yesterday was free, although the city was asking drivers to respect the three-hour time limit. The parking pay stations are expected to be back in operation today. If they are not. drivers should see the stations with bags over them, indicating they are not in operation.

A catering company is responsible for costs associated with a customer’s fall — not the Kamloops hotel in which the event occurred, a B.C. Supreme Court justice has ruled. In July 2008, Linda Hardie attended a dinner theatre event organized by Great Canadian Railtours hosted at an Aberdeen hotel. She was negotiating the dessert table and stepped off an elevated tier that was not marked. Hardie’s injuries included a fractured wrist. She sued Kamloops Towne Lodge Ltd, which operated what is now Coast Kamloops Hotel & Conference Centre. Kamloops Towne Lodge had
signed an agreement with Forster Restaurants Kamloops Ltd., stating the catering company would cover costs of acts for which it was responsible. Hardie reached an out-of-court settlement with Kamloops Town Lodge. The hotel then asked Forster to cover its settlement costs, the amount of which were not disclosed. Forster argued it was not responsible for Hardie’s fall because her injuries had no connection to its food service and was the result of negligent design by the hotel, which also fixed the table in that spot. Kamloops Town Lodge argued the catering firm was responsible because it placed food on the table and controlled the area where patrons were served.

Justice Trevor Armstrong ruled Forster was responsible and must pay costs of settlement the hotel negotiated with Hardie. “In light of the many years it had operated in the hotel, it likely possessed the means and experience to identify risks to the patrons, even if those risks were created by a negligent design or construction.” Armstrong said risks from the poor design should have been obvious to the company. “Obviously, Forster, having been in possession of the facilities for many years, should have been aware of the danger around the buffet table.” Armstrong ordered Forster to indemnify the hotel for the settlement and its costs, as well as for litigation expenses.

Follow this election-era trial — it is an important case
T
HERE’S A COURT CASE taking place in Ontario that everyone needs to watch. It started on Monday, June 2, and involves a charge laid against Michael Sona, a 25-year-old who, in 2011, was working on the federal-election campaign in Guelph, a city of about 120,000 people about an hour’s drive west of Toronto. It’s a city known for low unemployment rates and, according to a 2012 story in its newspaper, the Guelph Mercury, had been at the bottom of a crime-severity list of major metropolitan cities in Canada for five consecutive years. The crime alleged to have been done by Sona, however, is one that has and will continue to put the Southern Ontario community on the map — and, perhaps, eventually reveal who Pierre Poutine is. Sona worked for the Conservative party in that election, the one that finally gave Prime Minister Stephen Harper his long-sought majority government. In the end, it’s likely to come down to a battle between two of the campaign workers involved — the one facing the charge and the one who has been granted immunity in exchange for his testimony. Not a particularly sterling moment for the federal Conservatives. Sona’s formal charge is election fraud but, for most Canadians who have paid attention, it’s the robocall legacy that continues to stick to the Conservatives three years after that victory was achieved. So far, the court has heard that, on
DALE BASS Street LEVEL May 2, 2011 — election day — more than 6,700 automated calls were made to people in the Guelph area, telling them their polling stations had been relocated. The calls were made through the telemarketing firm RackNine by someone who called himself Pierre Poutine. A transcript of the calls used reveals the message: “This is an automated message from Elections Canada. Due to a projected increase in voter turnout, your poll location has been changed. “Your new voting location is at the Old Quebec Street Mall, at 55 Wyndham Street North. Once again, your new poll location is at the Old Quebec Street Mall, at 55 Wyndham Street North. “If you have any questions, please call our hotline at 1-800-443-4456. “We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.” By about 11 a.m. on election day, Elections Canada was receiving calls about the redirection and lawyers were starting to become involved.
Later that day, the deputy chief electoral officer had sent an email to his superiors, advising the robocalls “have actually disrupted the voting process.” Sona didn’t say anything when the scandal broke. He quit his job with another MP and told the Conservative party’s lawyer, Arthur Hamilton, he had nothing to do with the thousands of calls. The finger-pointing has begun, with immunity-approved Andrew Prescott, the star witness, according to media reports, quoting Sona on election day as saying, “it’s working.” Prescott has also testified he was told on election day by the candidate’s campaign manager, Ken Morgan, to help stop the calls. Harper has a convenient way of dodging these scandals that attach to him — the public’s general apathy and ability to forget things. It’s happened with the HarperSupreme Court fight, it seems to have happened with the Nigel Wright financial gift to Sen. Mike Duffy and the robocall mess also dropped off the public’s — and the media’s — agenda in recent months. The trial continues. Take some time to follow it. Media reports are available online — search out the name “Michael Sona” and you’ll get dozens of articles on the trial. Pay attention to what is going on. It’s important. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Grads, now is time to make good decisions Let’s not kid ourselves — teenagers don’t always follow the rules. When it comes to adhering to the legal drinking age, most of them aren’t patiently waiting for their 19th birthday before having their first sip of alcohol. Graduation season is a time that should be joyous and celebratory but, every year, Grade 12 students die in this country because partying got out of hand in one way or another. These are preventable tragedies that nobody in our community wants to see happen. Graduation marks a time of big change. The last 13 years of K-12 education are behind you and you’re transitioning into the next phase of your life — adulthood. Your teachers, school counsellors and parents have repeatedly told you the choices you make now (Should I work or go to school after I graduate? What do I want to get a degree in?) will have an impact on the rest of your life. The same logic applies to grad night. If you choose to celebrate this rite of passage with alcohol, be responsible. Be careful and go out with a plan. What are you going to do and how are you going to be safe? That includes ensuring you are celebrating in a safe manner, in a safe location with people you know and trust. Most importantly, that’s ensuring you have a safe ride home – whether it’s a designated driver or waking up your parents at 3 a.m. asking to get picked up. An important part of adulthood is making good decisions. Start now: be smart and be responsible before you head out for your after-grad festivities. It’s all about getting home safe from a night of well-earned fun. If you don’t get home safe, it defeats the whole purpose of celebrating.

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online
Re: Story: Kamloops teachers will go on strike again on June 5:
“Why are negotiations not happening around the clock until a settlement is reached? “If the government was truly concerned for B.C. students, it would be working 24/7 to reach a settlement. “Could it be about the money? Lots of savings going on for the government in lost wages to teachers. “Since this government is so concerned with accountability, it would be prudent of them to clearly itemize for the public where these savings will go. “Disgusted by the state of affairs and negotiator Peter Cameron’s inability to reach a settlement despite the big bucks he is being paid. “A definite waste of taxpayer dollars.” — posted by taxpayer2 “The teachers maintain it’s not about wages, but about the students. “And, I’m sure most of them believe this. “So, here’s an idea. “The BCTF can propose a zero per cent increase in wages if the government directs an equivalent amount of what the current wage increase demands are into student support.” — posted by PeterS
Here’s what my students lost in one lockout week
Editor: This past week, I was what I consider a bad teacher. The government locked me out of my school, restricting my work hours by three hours each day and I did not mark or write report cards on the weekend as planned. In consequence, my job was made significantly easier and my students’ efforts to learn were made much more challenging. Due to the lockout I was unable to: 1. Design a problem of the day (as my day opener), which prepares my students for learning and helps them apply yesterday’s new concepts. I simply used textbooks in the classroom and the questions at the back of the chapters. 2. Plan engaging lessons. I simply used textbooks in the classroom and the questions at the back of the chapters
that could be marked easily and quickly. 6. Spend Saturday and Sunday (I had 16 hours scheduled) analyzing marks and starting to write report cards with comments that captured each student’s progress. 7. Help my students during reading time because I was busy marking (the lockout leaves little time to mark). I turned away four student requests for help. Usually, I do the above work the best I can because I believe in giving children many tools for life. I want as many opportunities open to them as possible. I want them to reach their potential and not be limited by a poor education. My question is: What does the B.C. public and government each want? Michelle Graf Kamloops
(for each subject). 3. Adapt my lessons for struggling learners. I did not find or create material so struggling readers would understand and not be lost. I did not find math work that presents the concepts in an easier fashion so struggling math students would understand. I did not find extra/advanced work so advanced students could challenge themselves. 4. Take 10 to 15 minutes at lunch to help the five students who did not quite understand the math concepts. Usually these extra few minutes in a quiet setting is all it takes for them to understand. 5. Give my students quizzes that fairly evaluated their writing and reading abilities because I needed to use something
Column was clear: There is no utopian culture among us Editor: Re: The May 30 letter from John Hart of Thompson Rivers University on the need to teach residential-school history in our classrooms (‘Educate students about our residentialschool history’): I think Hart makes laudable statements about how imperative it is to know our history and to teach it — and honestly. However, he seems to miss the point of Tom Fletcher’s
forthright May 27 column on the matter (Aboriginal education or victim studies in our schools?). All societies and cultures past and present have demonstrated the capacity for violence and oppression, including every variety of aboriginal and European. There is no utopian culture. However ,when there is a large power imbalance, that capacity for oppression is magnified.
British history tells the same tale, from the Romans over the Celts to the Angles and Saxons and then the Normans — ever a new conqueror and more oppression. We need to remember and understand the oppression of the past lest we repeat it. However, Canadians descended from British and French can be genuinely sorry for the abuses enacted by their ancestors and seek reparations, while still taking pride in
the creation of this Canadian nation. They can seek to right the abusive wrongs of the past while still being glad that their ancestors left Europe and created the country we enjoy today. Looking forward, we need to seek harmony, honouring the various heritages, living as one nation of many peoples. Gordon Down Kamloops
Column was clear: There is no utopian culture among us Editor: An open letter to Kamloops MLAs Todd Stone and Terry Lake: On April 24, I submitted an open letter to Stone, the Kamloops-South Thompson MLA, and Lake, the Kamloops-North Thompson MLA, on this very page in Kamloops This Week. Four weeks have passed without a response. I asked for an explanation of the apparent discrepancy between the huge increase in
the value of resources extracted by mining corporations and a corresponding decline in public tax revenue received. Even though the value of resources extracted and sold between 2001 and now has increased massively, provincial tax revenue has steadily declined during that period. The people of British Columbia deserve an explanation. I also asked if the resourcebased corporations have made tax-deductible political contri-
butions to political parties during that time. The answer to that one is easy: Yes. From 2005 to 2013, resource-extraction companies have contributed about $3 million to the BC Liberal Party. So, I ask Stone and Mr. Lake again: Can they offer an explanation for what appears to be a systematic looting of the Commons? Ray Blessin Kamloops

Walk to Fight Arthritis this weekend By Adam Williams
they need to take control of arthritis. “There is hope and there is ways to manage it,” McCarthur said. “Our slogan — we have arthritis, it doesn’t have us — sort of says it all, because we don’t want to be victims, we want to be people who can cope.” The walk is still accepting registrants, with both onekilometre and five-kilometre distances available. It will begin at the Shores Retirement Residence, 870 Westminster Ave., at 10 a.m., with registration opening at 9:30 a.m. Arthritis doesn’t impact just the elderly; kids and youth can have it as well, all ages are encouraged to attend. Registration is $25 for adults, $10 for youth (13-18) and free for anyone under 12. Fees will be waived for those who fundraise or are able to volunteer.

Four joint replacements — that’s the reality of arthritis for Diane McCarthur. The Kamloops resident is the coordinator of the Arthritis Society’s Walk to Fight Arthritis, which will take place this weekend on Sunday, June 8. McCarthur has been living with the disease for more than 30 years, since she was in her mid-20s. She has both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis and the disease has necessitated joint replacements in both her knees, as well as both her hips. She awaits surgery and lives with the pain and fatigue, uncertainty and frustration of her illness. “Everyone’s symptoms are different because each type of arthritis is different,” McCarthur told KTW. For her, it’s pain and fatigue — the symptoms sometimes so debilitating she has trouble getting out of bed. She was forced to retire in her 40s, no longer able to do the
work, and family activities like skiing and camping are no longer feasible. The life changes brought with them disappointment and depression. “It’s always in the back of your mind that everything has to be considered in the light of the fact that you have arthritis,” McCarthur said. McCarthur said there are more than 15,000 people in Kamloops who live with one of more than 100 forms of arthritis. The hope is the inaugural Kamloops walk can raise both awareness and funds in support of the local chapter of the Arthritis Society. McCarthur hopes her story can help others get the support

respective authorities. The other half act as city ambassadors — maintaining an information kiosk, guiding tourists, providing walking tours and promoting downtown services. Mayor Peter Milobar said the program has continued in Kamloops because it “clearly demonstrated� its value when it was temporarily funded by the city a decade ago. KCBIA general manager Gay Pooler said she would like to see the program extended into the winter.
“We’ve got a pretty good program set up,� she said. But, it all comes down to the financials and she wants to attract corporate sponsorships. “We’re working on it for this winter,� Pooler said. Other notable stats by the crew so far include one call to ambulance, 119 assisted street tours and 1,100 km of walking and biking the downtown core. The CAP team can be found downtown Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Alex Martin applied to the Customer Care and Patrol (CAP) team for work experience because he wants to become a police officer. After three weeks on the job, the 22-year-old safety patrol member has already facilitated two arrests with Kamloops RCMP. “That’s a pretty cool experience,� Martin said after his role in the arrest of an allegedly aggressive street worker and intoxicated person. “A lot of police agencies want to see that you have experience.� He’s attending Thompson Rivers University in the Police and Justice Program and it’s his first year as one of the eightmember CAP team situated in downtown Kamloops throughout the summer months. The program began in 2004 as a partnership between the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA), Kamloops RCMP and the City of Kamloops and was intended to provide downtown hospitality and safety while giving work experience to postsecondary students. The team can be seen wandering downtown from May through August wearing red button-up shirts and hats along with black shorts and shoes. Half of the members, including Martin, are dedicated to safety — acting as an extra set of eyes and ears to observe, record and report suspicious activity or emergencies to

COVER PAGE STORY
‘I did not mean for this to happen, but it did’ X From TURN A16
ALCOHOL Peters and Joseph liked to drink — and they liked to drink together. They started dating in September 2011, having met through mutual drinking buddies. At various times throughout the relationship, they talked about quitting drinking. Booze wasn’t good for Peters and Joseph. When they drank, they fought — sometimes violently. Late in 2011, Peters was arrested following an alleged violent domestic assault in which Joseph was stabbed. No charges were laid. A few months later, in February 2012, police were called to the trailer Peters shared with Joseph to investigate another violent assault. Joseph had stabbed Peters, causing minor injuries to the lower left side of his back. But, when Mounties arrived, Peters told them he had sat on a knife by accident. No charges were laid. In the spring of 2012, the couple split up. Joseph went back to an ex and Peters reacted by hitting the bottle hard. In August, though, Joseph returned and asked Peters to take her back. He did and their
drinking slowed. When they had money, they would buy beer or coolers; when they didn’t, they wouldn’t drink. Something changed on Oct. 20, 2012. They didn’t have money for booze, but they had an idea that led them to the pharmacy aisle in Cooper’s. Joseph had drank mouthwash years earlier and knew other people who did regularly. Peters never had. Just after 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 20, 2012, the couple left the Cooper’s in Valleyview with pilfered one-litre bottles of Listerine — each with an ethanol volume of 26.9 per cent, on par with hard liquor. Peters was ready to give it a shot. BLACKOUT Within an hour, Peters and Joseph met up with two friends and were in their suite at the nearby Tournament Inn, passing Listerine back and forth to one another. After 45 minutes, the pair left and got a ride from another friend back to the trailer on East Shuswap Road. Between 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m., Joseph left three voicemails with Peters’ sister-in-law. Joseph was looking for help finding her miss-
ing cat and also needed cigarettes. Just before 7:30 p.m., Peters’ sister-in-law arrived at the trailer with the cigarettes Joseph had requested. She banged on the door. When no one answered, she left the cigarettes on the front step, got in her car, honked the horn and drove away. Ninety minutes later, after hearing nothing from Joseph, the sisterin-law returned to the East Shuswap Road trailer with her daughter. The cigarettes were still on the front step. The sister-in-law entered through an open back door and found Peters, drunk and dazed on the floor. Then she saw Joseph — wearing only a towel and lying on a mattress on the floor in the trailer’s living room, her left arm covered in blood. She was dead, having been stabbed once in the heart. The sister-in-law called 911 and police arrived within minutes. RCMP Const. Irv David was the first investigator on scene. He found the front door slightly ajar and pushed it open. That’s when Peters emerged, staggering to answer the door.
that now,” Peters wrote in a jailhouse statement read into court by his lawyer. “I have to live with what happened that night and not remembering it hurts even more.”
“What happened?” he asked the officer. Peters was handcuffed, loaded into a police car and taken to jail. AFTERMATH The trailer on East Shuswap Road was neat and tidy as forensic-identification officers began searching for evidence the following day — not a mess like might be expected if a big fight had taken place. There was an overwhelming smell of Listerine in the air, though — that had also been described by police and by Peters’ sister-in-law. Joseph remained where she’d been found — on that mattress in front of the couch in the trailer’s living room. Beside the couch, officers found three one-litre Listerine bottles — two empty and one full. On a small end table sat a black-handled kitchen knife covered in Joseph’s blood. Back at the Kamloops RCMP’s Battle Street detachment, Peters dozed in a cell while waiting to be interviewed. Once he sobered up, he took responsibility for Joseph’s death — despite the fact he couldn’t remember it. “I did not mean for this to happen, but it did — and I can’t change
CONSEQUENCES If previous hearings are any indication, Peters will have a strong contingent of family and friends present in court when he is sentenced today (June 5) — and Joseph will have none. Peters’ family is supportive of him. They think he’s seen the light. They want to help him stay on a sober road. Joseph has had no supporters attend court. Her slaying was the latest in a string of domesticviolence homicides that have decimated women in her family. She is survived by two daughters and a sister. But, before she died, Joseph buried a daughter and a sister after they were killed by their spouses. The Crown is seeking a six-year jail term for Peters in exchange for his guilty plea, minus time served in pre-trial custody. The defence wants a sentence closer to four years. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Selwyn Romilly will render his decision this morning.

Firefighters battle a blaze that killed at least 17 horses on Sunday, June 1, in Langley. Penny Hambrook photo
Cause of fire impossible to know Blaze in Langley claims lives of 17 horses By Dan Ferguson BLACK PRESS
A Langley family has lost everything as a result of the Sunday, June 1, fire that killed 17 horses, most of them standardbred racers. Bill and Laurie Davis were described by Tanis Pearson as a “prominent horse-racing family” in Langley, with over 35 years of experience. “They are leaders in the racing industry and pioneers in their exceptional horsemanship,” said Pearson, a family friend, who is acting as spokesperson for the Davises. “They’re such a phenomenal family. They’re a household name.” In addition to the loss of the 17 horses, including a miniature pony, the fire destroyed about $100,000 worth of gear, Pearson said. “This is such a huge tragedy.”
McCaw can be called to testify
The horses were killed in a massive barn fire that broke out at about 2 p.m. on the All Seasons mushroom-farm property on 224 Street, near 40 Avenue. Langley Township fire department responded in force, but was forced to rely on tanker trucks as there are no fire hydrants in the area The horses were inside the barn at the time the fire broke out and were unable to be rescued. Langley Township Assistant Fire Chief Pat Walker said cause of fire is inconclusive as heat and destruction was so intense that it is impossible to determine cause. A trust fund has been set up to help the family rebuild. Donations can be made to “The Davis Family Trust” at any Aldergrove Credit Union in the Lower Mainland. Money or E-transfers can be sent to billdavisfamilytrust@ gmail.com, with the password being mornasbigboy. CANADIAN PRESS

Conservative bill would criminalize buying sex CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The Conservative government has introduced legislation to criminalize the purchase of sexual services. The long-awaited bill would also crack down on those who reap a material benefit from prostitution. Justice Minister Peter MacKay said the “made-in-Canada’’ model is aimed at targeting johns and pimps, while protecting
the vulnerable. The new prostitution-related offences are intended to reduce demand for sexual services and protect those who sell such services from exploitation, as well as shield children and communities, the government said. The bill would create new offences for: • The purchase of sexual services and communicating in any place for that purpose. • Receiving a financial or mate-
rial benefit from the prostitution of others, including through businesses that sell the sexual services of others online or out of venues such as escort agencies, massage parlours or strip clubs that also provide sexual services. • Advertising the sale of sexual services in print media or on the Internet. • Communicating for the purpose of selling sexual services in public places where a child could reasonably be
expected to be present. The legislation is the government’s response to a Supreme Court of Canada decision in December that struck down key provisions of the country’s prostitution laws. While the court ruled the laws were unconstitutional, it gave the government a year to replace them. Under the current laws, prostitution itself is legal, but almost all related activities — including
communicating in a public place for the purposes of prostitution, pimping and running a brothel — are criminal offences. The new bill comes just two days after the Justice Department released the results of an online consultation that show a slim majority of respondents feel buying sex should be illegal. However, two-thirds of the more than 31,000 respondents said selling sex should not be an offence.
High mercury levels found around oilsands CANADIAN PRESS
FORT MCMURRAY — An Environment Canada study has found elevated levels of mercury in Northern Alberta, with the bull’s-eye centred on oilsands developments. “These results suggest that oilsands developments are a source of airborne [mercury] emissions to local landscapes and water bodies,’’ states the study, which has been reviewed and published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology. Levels of the most dangerous form of the potent neurotoxin are about 13 times higher than normal in the most affected area, about 60 kilometres north of Fort McMurray and a little east of the community of Fort McKay. Although levels quickly drop off from there, scientists found almost 17,000 square kilometres have been affected by elevated mercury deposits that probably come from industrial emitters. “Highest mercury concentrations were observed at 15 sites within the major oilsands development area,’’ the paper states. The conclusions are based on springtime snowpack samples taken in 2011 and 2012 from up to 89 sites in the heart of the oilsands region and as far away as 200 kilometres. Testing showed that as industrial activity increased, so did mercury levels. “Deposition resembled a bull’s-eye on the landscape, with areas of maximum [mercury] located primarily between
the Muskeg and Steepbank rivers,’’ the report states. That pattern also held for methylmercury, the most dangerous form of the element, that is absorbed and accumulated by plants and animals. The report acknowledges mercury levels were never measured before the industry’s expansion, so it’s hard to nail down a normal level. Mercury occurs naturally in the environment. The authors consider mercury levels 200 kilometres north of the major developments to be normal. For methylmercury, that was about 1.5 billionths of a gram per square metre. Methylmercury levels in the centre of the bull’s-eye were

about 19 billionths of a gram. That chemical was also strongly linked with other metals and contaminants known to come from oilsands facilities. “The positive significant relationships observed between [mercury] and other contaminants known to be emitted from oilsands-related processes suggest that mercury is also released directly to the atmosphere from industrial processes,’’ states the study, which was first discussed in preliminary form last December at a scientific conference. The researchers caution mercury levels drop off quickly. About 80 per cent of the study area showed less accumulations than the worst-hit region. As well, those levels remain well under federal guidelines for mercury concentrations. They conclude more study is needed to understand how the toxin accumulates in plants and animals. The research, conducted under the joint Alberta-Ottawa oilsands monitoring program, chimes with other research that links environmental toxins with industrial emissions. Other papers have linked both heavy metals and hydrocarbons in spring snowpacks to the oilsands. Last month, Alberta Health issued a warning about eating eggs from some water birds downstream from the oilsands. An Environment Canada study found that levels of mercury have gone up significantly in the eggs in the last three decades, with some increases of up to 139 per cent. In at least one species, mercury levels were high enough to start harming the birds.

Among those expected to participate in the Rockstar Milot Land Freestyle Tour are notable Kelowna riders Jeff Fehr and Reagan Sieg. “Jeff Fehr is probably one of the better ones in North America,” Stallybrass said. “These guys are doing backflips and crazy jumps.” Kaven Benoit of Quebec won the MX2 (250CC) points race at the Wastelands track in Nanaimo in Round 1, finishing first in both his motos. Austin Politelli, the defending series and Kamloops champion, and Shawn Maffenbeier, who placed second last weekend, will be among the MX2 riders to watch on Sunday, along with Benoit. The women’s pro nationals and the amateur nationals will be held on Saturday, June 7. Racing is expected to get underway at about 10 a.m. Tickets are available online at eventbrite.ca. There were stops on the national circuit at Whispering Pines in 2002, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Facciotti won the MX1 title three years run-
ning, from 2009 to 2011. Brett Metcalfe, last year’s overall MX1 champion, won the Kamloops race in 2013, but the Australian jumped ship to the American Motorcyclist Association Motocross Championship and will not be in attendance this year. There is a $20,000 purse up for grabs at the men’s pro nationals on Sunday, along with overall-championship points which accumulate over the season. Riders on factory teams, the sponsored outfits, will often attend every event on the circuit, which wraps up with Round 10 in Walton, Ont., on Aug. 17. Many privateers, those funding their own racing efforts, participate in select races along the way. There will be a beer garden, a kids’ zone and vendors on site this weekend, but the hardcore fans will be fixated on the track. “It’s not like anyone will be going around twiddling their thumbs,” Stallybrass said. “We’re going to keep going back to Kamloops and building the event as big as we can.”
It’s the weekend many local motocross lovers have been waiting for, when some of the best the sport has to offer gather at Whispering Pines Raceway on Westsyde Road. The Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals series stops in Kamloops on Sunday, June 8. “There are guys here who are world-class — Top 10 or Top 15 in the world,” said Mark Stallybrass, president of the Canadian Motorsport Racing Corporation. “We’ve been going to Kamloops for the last three or four years and the attendance has been growing and there’s been really good fan support.” Round 1 of the 10-stop professional series was held last week in Nanaimo and several household names rose to the top, with Mike Alessi of California and Colton Facciotti of Aldergrove tied atop the MX1 (450CC) points standings heading into Round 2 in Kamloops on Sunday. “That matchup is what a lot of people want to see,” Stallybrass said. Practice gets underway at 8 a.m. on Sunday, time qualifying begins at about 9 a.m. and the racing kicks AGM of the Thompson Nicola Cariboo United Way into gear at noon, with each rider participating Tuesday June 17, 2014 in two motos, or heats.

MORTGAGE MATTERS The Annual Mortgage Check-up For many Canadians, a mortgage is a once-every-five-year-chore. Fears about rates, costs and changes make this as enjoyable as paying taxes. However, a mortgage should be a tool to help you reach your goals, and that means planning. Life changes often dictate different mortgage strategies: are you starting or growing a family, starting a business, experiencing loss or interruption of income, planning home renovations, purchasing investment property or facing other major expenditures? A mortgage review can assess if your current mortgage’s interest rate, payments and options will help reach your goals. Low interest rates make it a good time for homeowners to give their mortgage a second look. Here are some common reasons to revisit your mortgage: •Paying down your mortgage faster: If you receive extra cash like an inheritance, tax refund or a work bonus, think about putting it toward your mortgage. For example, paying an extra $3,000 once every year toward the principal on a $250,000 mortgage can result in interest savings of $42,442 over the life of the mortgage, assuming a 25-year amortization and a fixed rate of 4.19%. •Lowering monthly payments: Renegotiating for a lower interest rate or higher amortization can protect your finances from unforeseen expenses, reduced income, and allow you to save up a rainy day fund. •Debt consolidation: Boost your cash flow or pay down your debt faster by taking high interest debt like a credit card balance and consolidating it into your mortgage. Your debt moves from multiple high payments, into one lower mortgage payment. Most lenders allow extra payments of 20% per year, so pay more when you have more! •Securing a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): A HELOC can help you access lower-cost funds for investing, such as topping up your RRSP or TFSA contribution. It can also help you pay for home improvement projects or just be available for peace of mind. •Improving credit: A mortgage professional can discuss any credit concerns or issues and coach you on how to improve your credit score. Good credit advice can help you work toward cheaper future borrowing costs and better mortgage options. •Identifying concerns: Mortgages are supposed to work for you. If you are unsure about specific mortgage functions or benefits, an annual check-up can be a great time to discuss concerns, learn how to set up extra payments, change your payment date and more.
Busy Blaze
The under-12 Kamloops Blaze White girls posted a 2-1 record in recent league and exhibition play. On Sunday, Kamloops fell 1-0 to Kelowna in TOYSL action, a day after earning a 7-2 win over the under-13 Kamloops Blaze B girls in exhibition play on Saturday. The under-12 Blaze

MARTY HASTINGS The Tattle of Hastings deal to keep training camp in Kamloops had already been discussed, but nothing solid was in place. Still, it was my opinion the Lions would likely take camp elsewhere next year, with 2014 being the last year on the contract signed with the city. No matter how much players, coaches and management enjoy holding camp in the Tournament Capital, it’s a big draw and there are plenty of other cities champing at the bit to host the Leos.
After five years in Kamloops, they needed to expand their brand and keep it fresh provincewide, I thought. So, it did come as a bit of a surprise when it was announced last week the Lions had signed on for 2015 and talks of a longer-term extension were imminent. After speaking with B.C. general manager Wally Buono last week, while he confirmed nothing about the future of camp in the River City past 2015, it seems an extension is plausible and, in my opinion, highly likely. The CFL legend made a crack about the rain, which seems to plague camp each
June, but went on to rave about Hillside, the Tournament Capital Centre and Thompson Rivers University, adding he would not want to lead other cities astray if the team planned to keep camp here. Putnam said an extension in the threeto five-year range would be considered long-term and talks between the two sides will likely resume in the fall. If city staff can pull it off, and it’s my opinion they will, hats off to them. The Tattle of Hastings appears in KTW on Thursdays. Email Marty Hastings at sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

T WAS A SOFTBALL QUESTION for what was, admittedly, going to be a small puff-piece story. “Mike, you’ve been here for a few years now. What are your thoughts on the training-camp facilities here in Kamloops?” I asked B.C. Lions’ head coach Mike Benevides after a practice session last June at Hillside Stadium. Instead of the canned answer often reserved for a lead-in butterball question like that, Benevides produced a plethora of praise, about a minute’s worth of adorationfilled oration. Wow, I thought, he really does like it here. Jeff Putnam, the city’s sports-development and businessoperations manager, told KTW in 2013 the prospect of a long-term

Spurs, Heat add context to NBA Finals Plot thickens in Bertuzzi lawsuit By Raul Dominguez ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN ANTONIO — LeBron James has it all wrong. Gregg Popovich is a people person. “I like everybody,’’ the San Antonio Spurs’ coach said. Sideline reporters might disagree, but that’s what Popovich said in response to James’ comments that the Spurs don’t like the Miami Heat. Immediately after San Antonio beat Oklahoma City in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals to set up the NBA Finals rematch with the Heat that begins tonight (June 5), Tim Duncan said, “We’ve got four more to win. We’ll do it this time.’’ The Spurs nearly did it last year, but coughed up a five-point lead in the final half-minute of regulation of Game 6 before losing Game 7. The agony of that
loss, San Antonio’s first in five trips to the finals, led James to surmise that the Spurs aren’t very fond of the Heat. “They don’t like us. They don’t,’’ James said on Monday, June 2, in Miami. “I can sense it from Timmy’s comments over the last couple of days. They want us, so they got us.’’ The Spurs, whose demeanour and remarks are normally as plain as sandwich bread, were a bit taken aback by James’ reaction. “Knowing Timmy, that’s not trash talking,’’ San Antonio’s Tony Parker said.

Bill is predeceased by his sister Barb Dehnke, and nephew Danny Dehnke of Valemount, BC. 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.
“I don’t think he meant it like that. But obviously, we are very motivated and we want to get it done. “At the same time, we realize we are playing a very good team that went to the final four times in a row and won the last two.’’ Spurs’ guard Manu Ginobili said the comment was taken completely out of context and it’s “not a big deal at all.’’ He and Parker both said the Spurs have great respect for what the Heat have accomplished, having never made it to back-to-back NBA Finals until this season. San Antonio did so after a rugged post-season run in the Western Conference, escaping a seven-game series with Dallas before closing out Portland in five games and Oklahoma City in six. “Every time you play a team in the playoffs,
you don’t like them,’’ Ginobili said. “That grows on you. It’s such a challenge. You want to beat them so bad that you start to grow that challenge of you don’t want the opponent to score on me, you don’t want them to do good. “You want to do everything you can to limit them. In some ways it’s sort of dislike, but the same happened to me against Dallas and against Portland and against Oklahoma City. It’s part of what the playoffs are about.’’ So any talk of dislike for a particular player or team was met with a glare. “Are you really going to ask that?’’ Popovich said. “So somebody will say, ‘I don’t like him’ and the other guy, ‘So and so said they don’t like you.’ ‘Well, I don’t like him either.’ Come on, this is silly.’’
SOBCHAK Barbara Elaine Sobchak of Kamloops passed away on Sunday the 25th of May, 2014 at the age of 58. She is survived by her loving children Natasha, Joshua (Rayel), and Nathaniel (Chelsea) her grandchildren Benjamin, Willow, and Max, as well as her parents Stan and Shirley. Barbara is also survived by her siblings Gary, Belle, Brenda, Betty, Katerina, her brother Clare, and her baby sister Sue in addition to Barbara’s dear, dear friends Deirdre O’Neill and Lisa O’Neill who were always there for her. Barbara was predeceased by her sister Bonnie and her niece Kerri Ann.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Bill’s memory may be made to the Kamloops Hospice.
Barb was a beautiful woman with a generous heart. She was the most loving and giving spirit. She gave and gave with all her being. Nothing mattered more to her than her children and grandchildren. We love you Mommy. We love you Gramma. We will miss you.
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.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO — A U.S. federal judge has ruled a subpoena can be issued compelling the former owner of the Vancouver Canucks to testify in a lawsuit arising from Todd Bertuzzi’s career-ending attack on Steve Moore. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice asked the U.S. court earlier this year to subpoena John McCaw Jr., who is based in Seattle, to testify in Toronto. Moore’s lawyer, Tim Danson, says he hopes McCaw will accept the rulings of the Ontario Superior Court and the United States District Court and appear as ordered at the trial slated to begin in September. Moore is suing Bertuzzi and the Canucks for $38 million for a 2004 on-ice hit that left Moore, then a Colorado Avalanche player, with a concussion and three fractured vertebrae. Danson had argued a jury should be able to hear McCaw answer whether he knew Canucks’ players were gunning for retaliation against Moore for a hit weeks earlier on former Vancouver captain Markus Naslund that resulted in a concussion. Bertuzzi has alleged the Canucks’ then-coach Marc Crawford urged his players to make Moore “pay the
price,’’ while Crawford has claimed Bertuzzi disobeyed instructions to get off the ice before Moore was attacked. Danson has said NHL Todd Bertuzzi commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly have voluntarily agreed to testify. Danson has suggested McCaw fostered a corporate culture that may have at least implicitly approved such an attack, including having as the president and general manager Brian Burke, who was “unapologetic about promoting violence in hockey.’’ McCaw no longer owns the Canucks, having sold his company Orca Bay, now known as Canucks Sports and Entertainment. But he maintains a “very significant financial interest’’ in the outcome of the lawsuit, as he is still on the hook for half of any liability found against the team, which Danson said was a condition of the sale.

Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can go no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.

February 10, 1918 – May 20, 2014
It is with great sorrow that Bonnie’s family announces her death at The Hamlets at Westsyde in Kamloops, BC. She is survived by Ed, her best friend and husband of 70 years, and their children Marilyn (Harold) Gordon of Kamloops, Donna (Derek) Cox of Black Creek, Kathy (Clayton) Martin of Cowichan Bay, Gerry (Rosa) Ellis of Kamloops, and Jack (Claire) Ellis of Crofton, foster children Richard and Jeannie Hanuse and their families, along with 16 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and one great-greatgrandson. Bonnie is also survived by her brothers Stan (Doreen) MacLean of Qualicum and Garth (Regina) MacLean of Kamloops, and her sisters May (Allan, deceased) Taylor of Grand Forks and Lorna (Howie) Bell of Barriere, and many nieces, nephews and extended family members. She was predeceased by her parents John and Ellen (nee Stanyer) MacLean, her brother Gordon MacLean and sisters Olive MacLean and Ina Herd. Bonnie was born at Francois Lake, BC, the second eldest of eight children. When she was about 10, her family moved to Mosside, Alberta. She and Ed met in 1942 while they were both in the RCAF stationed at No. 5 Bombing & Gunnery School at Dafoe, SK and were married there in 1943. They were the first couple in Canada to receive permission to marry while in uniform. Ed was a motor transport driver, and Bonnie was a cook in the officers’ mess. They lived in Prince Rupert, Prince George, the Comox Valley and Port Alberni before moving to Campbell River in 1960 where they resided until 1985 when they moved to Kamloops.
On Tuesday, May 20, 2014, Jacoba (Jackie) van der Horst van Lil passed away peacefully at the age of 96 at Fellburn Care Centre in Burnaby, BC. She was a loving and caring mother to sons Don and Hans, and an adored grandmother (Oma) to her four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She will be sadly missed by her son Don (Sue), daughter-in-law Colleen and grandkids Krista (Jon), Matt (Lori), David and Danielle as well as the four great-grandchildren – Amelia, Liam, Nathan and Jack. Jackie was born in Woudenberg, Holland, and immigrated to Canada with her husband in 1950. They lived in northern BC for many years before eventually settling in Kamloops in 1966, where she lived until moving to Port Moody in 2004.
Mom is now with God, and she will be dearly missed by all her family and friends. At her request, there will be no funeral service.
Jackie was active with her family, and it was her grandchildren and great-grandchildren who gave her the most enjoyment. She always had something good to say about everyone, and had amazing stories about her life and experiences.
The family wishes to thank Dr. Andrew Wynne and the staff at The Hamlets at Westsyde for their compassion and care, and Personal Alternative Funeral Services of Kamloops for final arrangements.
She made a difference in everyone she met, and will be fondly remembered for her strong sense of family values, and a love of life.
Although Mom had only a grade eight education, she possessed a wealth of knowledge and enjoyed conversing with anyone on any level. She was very down-to-earth with lots of plain old-fashioned common sense, including teaching her children the Golden Rule...do unto others as you would have them do unto you. And she gave unconditional love to her family.
VICTORIA ELIZABETH LANDMAN May 6 1935 – May 17 2014 Victoria passed away peacefully at Kamloops Hospice on May 17 at 79 years of age. It was tting that she took her last breath on Victoria Day weekend. She is survived by 2 sisters, Louise Malick of Kamloops and Gloria Wilingsider of Vancouver, her son Tony Klancar and grandchildren Brandon and Brittany Klancar, all of Kamloops. Victoria Elizabeth was born in Redwater, Alberta, and her parents named her after the Queens of England. She lived in Edmonton as a young adult and became a long time resident of Kamloops in 1967. One of the dening traits of Victoria was her love of color; her home, clothes and makeup always reected the colors of the rainbow. It is for this reason that her grandchildren coined the phrase ‘our Rainbow Grandma’. She became an artist and over the years produced many beautiful oil paintings. Victoria was always generous with what little she had. Being Ukrainian, she loved to speak the language, and to savor the avors of good Ukrainian cooking. Victoria loved late in life and when her companion Albin passed away a number of years ago, she was heartbroken. She often spoke of how much she missed him. Another love was that for God, Jehovah. She took much comfort from reading her bible and in hoping for a new and better world. The family would like to thank Dr. Sigalet and the staǢ of Garden Manor for many years of wonderful care.
On Victoria Day weekend the weather forecast was for ‘cloudy with a chance of seeing a rainbow’. We will miss you Rainbow Grandma. You will always be in our hearts.

McMastering his art By Dale Bass

Luke McMaster is now touring solo after making a name with the McMaster and James duo. Hear him tonight at The Blue Grotto.
HE CONCERT WAS rocking along when, suddenly, the sound system died. It simply died. Many performers would have stopped and waited for it to be fixed, perhaps sharing a joke or two with the audience — but not Luke McMaster. “I just drew from all that busking I had done and stepped forward on the stage and sang an acoustic song,” he said. “You learn from busking to project your voice and it worked out great.” It also became a unique moment between performer and audience, according to the Winnipeg-born singer-songwriter. “I’ll do that at the Blue Grotto this week (tonight, June 5). I always leave the mic at one point and just strum and sing. “A show doesn’t have to be amplified.” In fact, for McMaster, the perfect show is one “where people are smiling a lot, people are singing along, kind of a Motown philosophy.” McMaster added Kamloops to his All Roads Tour through British Columbia. McMaster likes Kamloops, having performed in the past as part of the McMaster and James duo. All Roads was McMaster’s debut solo album, a collection of songs reviewers have also likened to early Motown and blue-eyed soul — a recording McMaster said was inspired in part by his own life “not following a straight path.” He’s come a long way from his younger years, when he would plug a Radio Shack microphone into the stereo in the living room “and sing very off-key and make my family listen.”
Determined to make it in the music business, McMaster taught himself to play guitar while in high school and started performing in coffee houses and busking. “It’s a tough gig,” he said of those early years. But, I had the mindset and people surrounding me, saying ‘Keep playing, keep playing,’ so I kept playing.” Some bands followed, as did an EP and a tour, a stop at the Winnipeg Songwriting Workshop and a meeting with awardwinning producer Chris Burke Gaffney, who started to work with McMaster. In 1997, McMaster met Rob James and the two began to work together, producing albums that reached the coveted gold status of

sales in Canada and saw the pair opening for the likes of Christina Aguilera. The partnership ended in 2002 and McMaster found himself doing a lot of touring, including about 100 shows with American singer-songwriter Jim Brickman. In fact, the suddenly quiet show — the concert where the power died — was one at which the pair was performing in Los Angeles last year. Having worked with Brickman, McMaster said he is now a bit nervous about his tours when he’s no longer the opener or a featured act, shows where “at the end of the day, it’s all on my shoulders. And I want to elevate the shows for people there and make sure they have a better week because they were there.”

Spring birth for Winterfox
Show/shine and more in Logan Lake By Barrie Ogden SPECIAL TO KTW

By Dale Bass
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
When he wasn’t at his job at Starbucks, playing a gig somewhere in the province or teaching dance classes, Ben Bermiller headed to his basement — to record. Down there, the 19-year-old recorded all the instruments and did all the vocals for the 11 tracks he wrote for Winterfox, a CD he is releasing to the public on Saturday, June 7, at Chapters’ bookstore. “It feels like it’s been a long time coming,” he said of the release — a concept album, he explained, that follows a young man as he explores the meaning of relationships. Bermiller is not just talking about the romantic type, but the idea of friendship, or sacrifice, of what stops relationships from happening and what makes them work out. There are no clear answers, he said. “But, asking the questions is the mostimportant part.” Musically, Winterfox starts somewhat lowkey, he said, then builds into a bigger and more

progressive sound as the CD continues, while still retaining the folk and rock sounds that have influenced Bermiller as he has developed his craft. He said he started out as many would-be musicians do, listening to Bob Dylan, the Eagles, Neil Young, “all the classic ‘70s rock.” Later, he brought in more progressive rock, including Yes and Genesis. Now, however, Bermiller said he’s
inspired by American indie performer St. Vincent and art-rock band TV on the Radio and is looking for ways to bring what he hears from them into his own music. He started dance lessons at four — and now teaches at the Dance Gallery — adding acting lessons when he was about nine and picking up the guitar just before his teenage years. “I really started becoming creative around 12 or 13,” he
said, noting his love of music merged with dance as he choreographed movements to accompany his songs. That led to an interest in film, bringing the two arts together and complementing his acting interests. It has all led him to the Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts in Toronto, which advertises what it calls its Triple Threat training program for people interested in a career in the arts.
Bermiller had to audition in all three of his artistic areas to be accepted in the school and is eager to start. It will be two intensive years fitting in what normally would be taught over three years, he said. When Bermiller is not making coffees or performing — his CD release is followed on Sunday by a gig at Zack’s in the Wal-Mart plaza — or writing songs or rehearsing or teaching dance lessons,
Bermiller is busy planning a summer tour, one he hopes will see him end up at the end of the season in Toronto, where he is determined to make his mark. Winterfox will be available for purchase at the release party, which starts at about 2:45 p.m. and continues to about 4:30 p.m. Bermiller will also have them for sale at his shows. He’s selling them for $15. They will also be for sale at Chapters for $17.99.

BOOK REVIEW
After Alice a terrific novel As the Page Turns is a monthly column featuring reviews of recent books by members of the Thompson Rivers University English department. This month’s book is Kamloops author Karen Hofmann’s After Alice.
I
T DOES NOT happen every day that a Kamloops resident publishes a novel, so all readers should, at the very least, take note of that fact. But, much more importantly, Karen Hofmann, Thompson Rivers University professor and published author of poetry and short stories, has given us a real gift with her first novel, After Alice. The novel begins with the main character, Sidonie von Täler, a woman in her 60s, who has moved back to the Okanagan of her childhood after having established a successful academic career in Montreal. She is a little hazy on why she has made this move and somewhat disoriented about what her new life will look like. Part of the problem is that she wrestles with issues related to identity: To what degree is she still the “girl” she once was? And how solid is the
ANITA SWING As The Page TURNS sense of self forged in her adult life now that it is removed from the milieu thar supported it? These are issues many of us can relate to, especially once we reach middle age. They are arguably the reason so many people dread school reunions — out of some sort of fear all they have become will seem an illusion and they will be back in the mire of insecurity and vulnerability high school so often represents. Sidonie has a lot on her plate. Various relatives, mainly nieces and nephews, have expectations of her, if only to include her as part of “the family” — a notion whose validity Sidonie questions. Indeed, she has spent most of her adult life distancing herself from her many childhood disappointments and those she associates with them. Yet, Sidonie is now the sole owner of the
Dark Moon Walking launches this weekend Rachel McMillen, a longtime Western Canada Theatre board member, is heading to Pavilion Theatre on the weekend — but, this time, the spotlight will be on her. McMillen will be launching her new book, Dark Moon Walking, at the theatre, 1025 Lorne St., on Saturday, June 7, at 3 p.m. It’s the story of a retired police officer looking for some solitude. He is sailing the Pacific Northwest coast when a marine biologist goes missing. The retired cop then teams up with an ex-criminal to find the vanished scientist. A portion of all book sales on Saturday will be donated to the theatre.
family orchard and has decisions to make about what will become of it. The novel alternates between Sidonie’s present and the many flashbacks that allow the reader to see how the setting of her childhood underpins the psychology of her character. The flashbacks are replete with precise details related to 1950s and early 1960s clothing (“blue poplin, pink shantung, eggshell sharkskin”); food (“Mother packs egg-salad sandwiches or potato salad . . . or sometimes an entire cold fried chicken . . . crisp and paprikascented, the way Father likes it”); orcharding; and many depictions of rural social life, often involving the mixing of immigrants from different backgrounds. The title of the book refers to Sidonie’s older sister, the beautiful and aloof Alice, whom we gather early on has met an early demise. Thus, for much of the novel, the reader is propelled by a desire to learn what happened to Alice; these details are released gradually and are a huge part of the poignancy of this novel. As children, Sidonie and Alice have a very troubled relationship and the adult Sidonie struggles with what
she might have done to help Alice, even though she was hugely powerless and indeed treated harshly by her elder sister. Hofmann’s writing has a very detailed, poetic quality; anyone with a love of landscape in particular will find much to revel in. Yet the detail doesn’t overwhelm the highly satisfying story. Contributing to the satisfaction are the many well-drawn and believable characters, as well as plenty of details from the present we can all relate to — issues with the Agricultural Land Reserve, climate change and eating local foods, with none of these presented in a heavy-handed or didactic way. Readers become emotionally invested in Sidonie’s trajectory and the lives of those hers touches. There is a great sense here of the continuity of generations, which might appeal most to middle-aged and older readers who have had time to contemplate the gratification and richness that come from feeling one’s life has meant something. After Alice is a terrific novel. Definitely consider it for your summer reading.

The June Poker Run brings in more donations and several other charities receive HOG support through other ventures. “Riding reminds us how much muscle co-ordination it takes to control a powerful motorcycle,” said Bates. “But, muscular dystrophy strips away a person’s ability to perform even the simplest tasks. “That’s part of the reason Muscular Dystrophy Canada is our charity of choice,” she said.

Suzuki GW250 gets back to the basics By Rob Beintema
METROLAND MEDIA
I
wheels.ca
USUALLY KICK OFF THE riding season with a lightweight bike, some kind of smallish putt-putt with just enough benign power to rub away winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rust. One of my first rides of 2014 was a late addition from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lineup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Suzuki GW250 that came to Canada in the fall of 2013. Motorcycle companies do a curious thing compared to the more regimented routines of automotive companies. When a new product debuts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, if they have enough units to carry them for a while â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bike companies skip a model year without worry. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite common to go to a manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website and see upcoming 2015 models, some current 2014 models listed along with 2013 or even bargain-priced 2012 models still up for sale. Which means the brash and naked 2013 GW250 will carry on this year with no 2014 replacement until a new 2015 version appears, probably unchanged except for fresh colours. In Suzukiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entry-level lineup, this affordable Chinese-built
GW250 ($3,999) seriously undercuts the TU250 ($5,299), a dated and traditionally styled singlecylinder thumper. The GW250 also joins a growing list of lightweight competitors broadly aimed at a still vague and
uncertain next-generation market. A list would have to include mainly sport bike-styled competitors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Kawasaki Ninja 300 ($5,399) and the 2013 Honda CBR250 ($4,499 but price-slashed to $3,499).
Honda will bump up displacement soon with a new 2015 CBR300 but the sale-priced CBR250 is the most serious challenger to the GW â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially when you consider that the CBR250 ABS version has been
sale priced at the same $3,999 price as the GW250 (which is not available with ABS). Yamaha has a cruiser-styled V Star 250 ($4,490) and there are rumours of a possible R3 version. Suzuki staff tends to poohpooh the competitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; increases to 300-cc as mere marketing ploys and they boast of smoother twincylinder power delivery compared to single-cylinder competitors. But, arguably, the real strong point of the GW250 is its naked bike design, a styling trend especially strong in Europe and gaining traction here. The GW250 may be new to us, but it has established itself in those other markets where it sells as the GSR250 or Inazuma (Lightning). It has also been nicknamed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baby King,â&#x20AC;? a tribute to styling cues in common with Suzukiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former B-King, especially in instrument and headlight treatment, and in the unique way the front signals are integrated into the side fairings. You might also spot some Gladius similarities if you squint hard enough and the two bikes share accessory pieces. X See GW250 B9

The design may leave you hot or cold, but I tend to give bonus points for any styling exercise that takes a risk. The GW250 is an approachable bike. A low 760-mm seat height will entice younger, smaller riders and newbies, but larger riders have little to fear. After my usual vanity check, rolling slowly past one of those mirrored-glass office buildings, solemnly studying my reflection, probably to the amusement of workers inside, I was relieved to spot nothing to worry about — sizewise at least. That’s because, as far as small bikes go, the GW250 is one of the biggest. Compared to competitors I’ve listed here, the GW250 is the largest, longest and heaviest motorcycle in the segment. There’s a sturdy solidity to the design and the twin mufflers add an impression of width and mass. Getting around on the GW250 is easy — you can futz around town scooter-style, skip-shifting lazily through the even-numbered gears. But, getting up to real speed requires twisting the throttle and waiting, legging out each shift to maximum revs. The engine spins at around 7500 r.p.m. at 100 km/h or at 9,000 r.p.m. at the more universally applied 120 km/h. That’s getting close to the 11,000 r.p.m. redline and the little engine sings out earnestly on the freeway. Other features worth mentioning include a slick-shifting six-speed tranny with easy-tofind neutral position and light clutch pull, a seven-way adjustable rear suspension, handsome three-spoke sport wheels and a perfect instrument package with analog tach front and centre, idiot lights to the left and digital readouts to the right including an LCD speedometer, odo, twin trips, maintenance interval indicator and three-mode rpm indicator (Normal, Eco and Off).

Toyota chips boost mileage Chevy adds stop-start technology to 2015 Impalas Stop-start technology will be standard on the 2015 Impala base 2.5litre Ecotec engine, an addition that improves the vehicle’s city fuel economy by nearly five per cent, or one mile per gallon. The Impala comes standard with a fourcylinder engine, which accounts for more than 30 per cent of Impala retail sales. It offers customers higher m.p.g. city ratings and a more-affordable entry price into the segment than six-cylinder competitors. Stop-start shuts down the engine in certain driving conditions
to reduce fuel consumption. The technology is becoming more prevalent worldwide. The 2.5-litre Impala with stop/start yields an EPA-estimated fuel economy of (U.S.) 22 m.p.g. city, 31 for the highway and 25 combined. The Impala with the 3.6-litre V6 engine will not include stop/start technology. The Impala becomes the second vehicle in Chevrolet’s U.S. lineup to feature stop/start technology, following the segment-first standard inclusion in the 2014 Malibu introduced
The chips, made from carbide — one of the hardest materials in nature — theoretically have superior characteristics such as one-tenth the electrical power loss and 10 times the drive frequency. Toyota said the chips would also allow it to reduce the size of current automotive power control units by 80 per cent. The automaker said it has already achieved a five per cent improvement in fuel efficiency in test vehicles and aims to commercialize the technology by 2020.
Toyota is using one of the hardest materials in nature after diamonds to develop a semiconductor chip it hopes will improve the fuel efficiency of its hybrids — such as the Prius — by as much at 10 per cent. The company and its partners have announced they have developed a silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor for use in automotive power-control units. Toyota plans to begin testdriving vehicles with the technology on public roads in Japan within a year.
late last year. The technology helps improve the Malibu’s city fuel economy by 14 per cent. Chevrolet engineers developed the stop/ start in the Impala from extensive experience with GM’s eAssist system and the accompanying algorithms that allow engines to engage and disengage subtly.

Nissan heads to Le Mans next year
Nissan will unleash the GT-R and go head-tohead with Audi, Porsche and Toyota at Le Mans in 2015. The Japanese manufacturer will also contest the 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship with a full factory effort of two LM P1 cars. Nissan’s LM P1 car will be called the Nissan GT-R LM NISMO, carrying on a tradition that stretches back 30 years and recognizes the company’s flagship road car, the Nissan GT-R. Nissan’s LM P1 program was launched in the heart of Europe’s fastest-growing area of digital innovation in East London, close to Nissan’s new global digital hub. As innovators in sports marketing, Nissan Motor Corporation deliberately took a non-traditional approach to F1 with its prestige Infiniti brand through its association with Red Bull Racing. The race is now on to get Nissan’s LM P1 car on the grid in 2015. Announcements will be made concerning the Nissan drivers, who will come from both inside and outside of the Nissan family. The date the new car will first take to the track and the full technical specifications will also be revealed in due course, but the intentions of Nissan are clear.

AUTO MARKET
Ford drives new diesel-truck lineup to automotive market Ford has announced the new, 2016 F-650/F-750 medium-duty truck lineup with 6.7-litre Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel will feature three engine-power ratings including best-in-class standard diesel horsepower and torque. The three levels available for the 2016 Ford F-650/F-750 are 270 horsepower, foot-pound torque (bestin-class standard); 300 horsepower, 700 foot-pound and 330 horsepower, 725 foot-pound. Multiple ratings provide customers with the flexibility to scale engine power to work applications and operations. The second-generation 6.7-litre Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel builds upon the success of the diesel engine found in the F-Series Super Duty lineup. The engine and commercial-grade six-speed TorqShift HD automatic transmission have been developed and
tested for medium-duty applications. The powertrain offers a five-year/250,000-mile limited warranty. Ford is the only medium-duty truck manufacturer that designs and builds its own diesel engine and transmission combination, ensuring the powertrain will work seamlessly with all chassis components and vehicle calibrations. During testing, the 6.7-turbo diesel endured the equivalent of 500,000-plus miles on an engine dynamometer, replicating the duty cycle of the harshest-use customer. Offered in Regular Cab, SuperCab and Crew Cab styles and in straight frame, dock height and a new tractor model for heavy-towing applications, the 2016 F-650/F-750 features a bold look inside and out. The new medium-duty truck lineup will be available in spring 2015.
