BCPSEA cites cost of BCTF’s contract bid By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

tfletcher@blackpress.ca

The bargaining agency for B.C.’s 60 school districts has put a price tag on what its chief negotiator called “a truckload of benefit provisions” sought by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF). The cost estimate was released by the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) after negotiations broke down and the BCTF proceeded with a full-scale strike that could continue to the end of the school year. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said negotiations were expected to resume. The BCPSEA calculates with increased class-preparation time and other benefits, the latest offer from the BCTF adds up to a 12.5 per cent increase in total compensation over the five-year term proposed by the union. The BCPSEA has proposed a seven per cent pay increase over six years, plus a $1,200 per teacher signing bonus for an agreement ratified by the end of June. The BCTF countered last week with a proposed $5,000 per teacher signing bonus to make up for a year the union has worked under an expired contract. X See SIDES A15

Teachers feel pinch as strike begins By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

As the provincial government prepares to tighten its grip, B.C. teachers are preparing to tighten their belts. With full-scale strike action beginning across the province on Tuesday, June 17, and the Ministry of Education already imposing wage rollbacks as part of lockout provisions, tough times are looming for educators in the Tournament Capital. “Even when we were in rotating strikes, it had a tremendous effect on us because both my wife and I are teachers,” Jamie Blower told KTW.

Blower is a Grade 7 teacher at Westmount elementary, while his wife, Kim Hindle, teaches Grade 4 at Beattie School of the Arts. The couple has two young children, ages seven and five, and is looking ahead to what may be a lean summer. “We’re like most people, right?” Blower said. “We have a truck payment and a mortgage payment and groceries to buy and things like that.” Blower said he and his wife are still hoping to be able to return to work before the end of the school year, but he’s making plans just in case. There’s the possibility he will need to pick up part-time work in the summer months to make ends meet.

He’s not alone. NorKam secondary work-experience teacher Amanda Jensen is considering increasing the number of hours she makes available to her second job. As a part-time teacher, making money in her hours away from NorKam was already necessary, but has become crucial. More than financially, though, Jensen said the job action has affected her emotionally. “The very fact that my students don’t have their teacher right now because of what’s happening at the bargaining table with BCPSEA [B.C. Public School Employers’ Association] is disgusting to me,” she said. X See I BELIEVE A14

THE WALKING WORKERS Motorists driving southbound on Fortune Drive on the North Shore came across a crew of “local zombies” performing crack sealing on the street.

Social planning council: No stand on casino By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The head of the city’s social planning council says his group won’t be weighing in on whether Gateway Casinos should be allowed to move its operation out of the city’s downtown core in part because of the uncertainty of what would replace Lake City Casino next to Hotel 540 on Victoria Street. At the social planning council’s most recent meeting, members chose not to come out for, or against, the relocation “due to the potential social implications.” Instead the council forwarded to city council a series of arguments for and against the move.

“It’s strange,” chairman Jovan Rodrigue admitted to KTW. “In my four or five years participating, we’ve never not made a decision.” Gateway wants to rebrand and expand its casino in the former Rona store at 1555 Versatile Dr. It has already purchased the building outright and held public meetings last month. An application to rezone the property for casino use has been filed with the city, but has not yet come to council. Rodrigue said the casino relocation led to a vigorous debate among social planning council members. “We were fairly torn fairly evenly,” he said. Rodrigue leans more towards

supporting the relocation. “That’s just me and I think there are people that are just as strongly against it.” The proposed new location made both the pro and con list during the council’s discussions, according to meeting minutes. While some members argued the casino’s current location on Victoria Street makes it “extremely accessible” to people who are more likely to develop gambling additions, others argued that Aberdeen is “an area with the highest debt-to-income ratio in Kamloops,” which should also be considered a vulnerable population. On the pro-casino side, some members of the committee liked Gateway’s plans to have the new

casino focus more on entertainment and food and drink options, which they felt would put less of a focus on gambling. Allowing the casino to move would also secure the more-than$2-million a year in gambling revenue the city receives by provincial mandate, some of which funds social programs and nonprofits. Those arguing against the casino move worried about the effect another vacant building could have on the downtown, if Hotel 540 is not successful in its bid to build a new performing-arts centre with the city on the site and fails to secure another tenant. Rodrigue said that uncertainty is, for him, one of the bigger stumbling points in Gateway’s plan. “The ideal plan is that the casi-

no’s going to move up to Rona and then the performing-arts centre is going to take its place,” he said. “But, when we found out there’s nothing in the works, that there’s nothing guaranteed to take its place, we got worried.” The social planning council also argued the move isn’t supported by KAMPLAN or by Kamloops’ city centre plan, which both recommend entertainment facilities be kept in the downtown core. Whether the city will reach the same conclusion based on those planning documents remains to be seen. Manager of planning and development Randy Lambright said city staff have yet to decide on a recommendation to council on the casino’s desire to move.

Pipeline approval applauded and panned By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A federal government decision to approve the Northern Gateway pipeline comes as little surprise, according to local politicians who also cautioned the project faces a long road ahead. The decision to approve Enbridge’s Northern Gateway oil pipeline project comes despite widespread opposition in B.C. that includes the provincial government, First Nations, environmental organizations and residents of the intended oil-tanker port of Kitimat. Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford signalled the government’s approval in a low-key statement

on Tuesday, June 17, that endorsed the 209 conditions imposed by a federal review. Rickford noted the proponent still needs to consult with aboriginal communities and secure provincial permits. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has emphasized it is in the national interest to open a new pipeline route to the Pacific Ocean to carry Alberta oilsands bitumen and break the Canadian oil industry’s dependence on U.S. markets. “What we’re supporting is the recommendation of the National Energy Board saying it should go forward with the 209 conditions,” Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod told KTW.

McLeod estimated opinion from within the riding is split based on the feedback she has received through her office. However, McLeod added, the region’s experience with the Trans-Mountain Pipeline also provides some comfort. “Kamloops, having had a relationship with Kinder-Morgan for a number of years, and a good relationship, understands better than many the ability for a pipeline to run through a community and be minimally impactful.” Bill Sundhu, the first to declare for the local New Democratic nomination in the October 2015 federal election, said the decision reflects the fact “this government has been a very strong

advocate for the pipeline and oil industry.” Sundhu said widespread opposition across the province means the project has no social licence to proceed. “Too many people believe, and properly, government’s not had a genuinely subjective process,” Sundhu said. Approval from a government that has decried critics as “environmental terrorists” comes as little surprise, Sundhu said. A continuing battle over the pipeline plan is expected in the courts, and potentially on the land, where civil disobedience has already been threatened. Kamloops-South Thompson Liberal MLA Todd Stone also said the approval was widely expected.

on their part,” Stone said. Opposition demands to reject the project dominated question period in the House of Commons. NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair called the review panel process “a sham” and Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen warned opposition in B.C. may upset plans to develop liquefied natural-gas exports in the province. B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak reiterated the province’s requirement that Northern Gateway meet its conditions. “We recognize the benefits that the Northern Gateway project may bring, but

they will not be at the expense of our environment,” Polak said. The decision by the Harper cabinet follows December’s ruling by a federal-review panel that the $6.8-billion project should proceed, subject to 209 conditions. That followed Enbridge’s earlier pledges to improve the project’s safety with thicker steel and other measures along the 1,177-kilometre route. The twin pipelines would carry 525,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen from the oilsands west to Kitimat and send condensate to act as a thinning agent east to Alberta. — with files from Black Press

But, he noted, that approval doesn’t mean the project will proceed. “We’ve said since 2012 that any heavyoil pipeline through B.C. will need to meet the five conditions,” Stone said. “So far, only the first condition has been met.” That first condition was approval by the National Energy Board. The province’s other conditions include world-class safety on land and water in addition to addressing First Nations rights and providing economic benefit to B.C. “There’s a tremendous amount of work that needs to be done

Council opts out of SD73 politics By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city’s downtown neighbourhood associations say the closure of Stuart Wood elementary is a land-use issue that could stall densification efforts in the city’s core. But, at its Tuesday, June 17, meeting, Kamloops city council resisted their calls to wade into the the debate surrounding the heritage building at 245 St. Paul St. Denis Walsh, chairman of the Downtown and West End Residents’ Association, told council it should take a stand on the issue since keeping the downtown vibrant is a priority of the city’s official community plan. Without a school, Walsh said, the downtown becomes less attractive to new residents. “I just think a young family looking at where to move in this city, they’re not going to be coming downtown,” he said. Ruth Madsen, who lives near the school, urged the city to sell the Stuart Wood property

to School District 73 instead of continuing its long-term lease arrangement, and to ease the way for the district to make safety and accessibility upgrades the school would need to stay in operation. Madsen pointed to Allen Matthews elementary, closed many years earlier, as an example of what Stuart Wood’s future could look like. “It got torn down for an RCMP building,” she said. “I think we need to save Stuart Wood school.” However, when it came time to make a decision, council split down the middle on

whether it should wade into school-board politics. Coun. Tina Lange suggested council send a letter stating its support for Stuart Wood while “acknowledging they have a big decision and acknowledging that they have budgetary concerns and in no way are we trying to make their decision.” The motion earned the support of councillors Donovan Cavers and Arjun Singh, but, with councillors Marg Spina and Pat Wallace absent, and Mayor Peter Milobar and councillors Ken Christian and Nelly Dever voting against, the motion was defeated in a 3-3 vote. Milobar said council doesn’t have the expertise to make education decisions and would be basing its call on Stuart Wood on emotions instead of facts. “I guess what I would ask councillors who were around this table last term, where was the gut feeling for John Tod school? Is it because it was a North Shore school we didn’t go to bat?” Milobar asked. City CAO David

Trawin said the city meets with the school district regularly, noting it doesn’t seem interested in purchasing the building. “I said, facetiously, would you take it if I gave you $500,000? And they said, facetiously, ‘I don’t think we’d take it if you gave us $3 million,’” he said. Trawin said staff have let the district know there are benefits to keeping a school open in the neighbourhood, but Stuart Wood isn’t driving residents downtown as it is. For the most part, new downtown residents in the last decade haven’t had school-aged children. Christian, former chairman of the school board, said size may be as much a problem for Stuart Wood as the building’s age. At schools with fewer than 400 children (Stuart Wood has fewer than 200), he said, it can be difficult to provide computer labs or have libraries properly staffed. “This is not really about urban planning and property values,” Christian said. “This is

about a district deciding what’s good for kids.” Council eventually voted 5-1 to send a letter to the district, asking that it meet with Walsh and other downtown representatives. Christian opposed that motion.

Accused killer has not returned smuggled equipment By Cam Fortems

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wield guns

A BB gun wielded by a resident of a Powers Addition home is nearly indistinguishable from a handgun, said an RCMP spokeswoman. Police warned theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re forced to treat toys as the real thing in any emergency â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a situation that could lead to fatal consequences to those wielding them. RCMP said three people, all known to police, will be charged following an incident on Monday, June 16. Police were called on a report of a drunken man wielding a handgun in a Powers Addition backyard. The 46-year-old resident who was allegedly holding the BB gun faces charges of possessing a weapon dangerous to the public. A 41-year-old at the home faces weapons charges after police found what Cpl. Cheryl Bush called a stun gun. Another 40-year-old man faces drug charges after police found what they say is cocaine. All three were released and are scheduled in court next month for first appearances. Bush said police have no way to determine from any distance whether a toy gun is the real thing.

An Alberta man accused of murdering his wife by pushing her off a boat during an Interior vacation has yet to turn over computer equipment he smuggled out of Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. Peter Beckett also claimed in B.C. Supreme Court on Tuesday, June 17, to have been poorly represented by a series of four lawyers over three years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of whom contributed to a legal bill he said cost taxpayers $100,000. The 57-year-old man originally from New Zealand appeared in court for a monthly case-management meeting leading up to his scheduled trial in

January on charges of first-degree murder, counselling to commit murder and obstruction of justice. In response to a question, Beckett told Justice Ian Meiklem he has not returned computer hard drives and DVDs containing RCMP evidence against him. Meiklem ordered in April the Crown must disclose some of its evidence to him on paper, rather than electronically. But, Meiklem wrote in the order that Beckett wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive the latest round of disclosure until he arranges for the hardware and disks to be returned to the Crown. The hardware and disks disappeared from KRCC. Beckett said in an earlier appearance he

Williams Lake resident Jeremy Wayne Davis, 24, and Jordan Larry Barnes, 27, of Mission were arrested last week and each face a charge of second-degree murder in connection to

the death of Nicholas Cole Larsen of Sorrento. Police said there had been a dispute in Sorrento between two groups of men a couple of hours before the shooting. At some point after that argument, the vehicle in which Larsen was riding was forced off the road by another also travelling on Blind Bay Road, where Larsen was shot and killed.

Bike patrol back

RCMP will resume bicycle patrols next week after not operating them in 2013. Bush said they are expected to roll in the traditional areas of downtown, North Shore and parks, including Riverside and McArthur Island. Bike patrols are popular with residents and the city, but RCMP in Kamloops have claimed from time to time they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the resources to operate them. Bush declined to comment on why the patrols didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run last year. RCMP members ride in pairs or utilize an auxiliary member.

Daily News property value pegged at $5.5m STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Renovations to the former home of the Kamloops Daily News were pegged at $2.47 million in a study done last year for the newspaper’s owner. Altus Group, a real-estate consulting firm, devoted 75 pages of analysis of the building and adjacent vacant lots for Orest Smysnuik, chief financial officer for Glacier Media. The Daily News closed in January after publishing in Kamloops since 1931. The City of Kamloops bought the building in March for $4.8 million and announced plans to continue running the 102 parking spaces there as it investigates possible uses for the building. The Altus report estimated the property’s market value at $5.5 million.

In the report, consultant Gordon French wrote the “best use of the subject is deemed to continuation of its existing use as a commercial-use building and parking lot.” He wrote that, in the absence of any “projected costs to perform building renovations” from Glacier, the firm estimated revenue of $75 per square foot for the main and second floors, an area that totalled 32,948 square feet. French did not apply that figure to the 2,893-square-foot annex that is now home to H&R Block. In assessing the costs, French “assumed that the improvement allowance applied will bring the subject up to modern professional office and/or retail-use standards.” The building was inspected by Altus on June 25, 2013, and the report sent to Smysnuik on July 17, 2013.

resurfacing, it would likely “achieve plus or minus 75 per cent occupancy based upon the monthly rental rate.” At the time of the report, that amount was $72 a month. Adding in an estimated amount for hourly and daily rentals and deducting 40 per cent of the total for parkinglot management fees and a $250 parkingmeter fee, the estimated

other buildings in the area.” He suggested the best use of the structure would be as an office building, but noted, “based on instructions from the client, no conversations were held with the City of Kamloops in regards to the subject site.” French studied the parking lot adjacent to the building and determined that, with

stabilized net income was pegged at $1,780 a month or $21,360 a year. Altus calculated potential net operating income for the structure, once renovated, to be $618,065, a figure composed of $263,584 for the main floor, $218,281 for the second floor, $102,930 for the basement and $33,270 for the occupied annex building.

Reduce Belly Fat! Increase Energy! Testosterone levels begin to diminish in men around age 30. In fact, by the time men are 60 years old, they typically produce 60% less testosterone than they did at age 20 (a man’s sexual peak). Many men over the age of 35 may already be feeling the effects of lower testosterone including:

Increased Belly Fat Low Energy

Low Libido Mood Changes

Decreased Muscle Strength Prostate Problems and more...

Unfortunately at the same time testosterone is decreasing, estrogen levels are increasing, causing further muscle loss and gain in body fat, making it extremely difficult to maintain a healthy metabolism. Along with a program of proper nutrition and regular exercise, researchers have discovered a group of naturally proven nutrients that can help you safely reduce excess estrogen while maximizing testosterone levels. Ultimate Male Energy™ contains 100% natural ingredients like: Chrysin, Stinging Nettle Root Extract, Indole-3-Carbinol and Broccoli Sprout Powder to help restore healthy, youthful hormone balance by positively affecting both estrogen and testosterone production, which ultimately helps a man look, feel and perform at his best.

Tell us something and prove conspiracy theorists wrong

OULDN’T IT BE nice to hear from our municipal leaders about what they can do and not what they can’t do? Wouldn’t it be nice if, just once, they’d make a leadership decision rather than hide behind their own definitions of what that means for them? Remember the Aboriginal Cogeneration Corporation plan and how almost as one body our city council rose up and unanimously rejected it? Now, it’s all wait-and-see on KGHM building its massive Ajax hole just south of the city. It’s “not our worry” when people come to them and ask if having a school downtown isn’t a key component to good community planning. It’s “let’s upgrade River Street and plunk some pricey public art right next to the spot where favoured son Tom Gaglardi is building a hotel.” And, some believe, it’s also “let’s completely redesign the First Avenue intersection right near that hotel, even though it will create a traffic a nightmare downtown.” Yes, I have conspiracy-theorist friends, but have you driven down Victoria Street — or Lansdowne Street, for that matter — and not wanted to scream, pull your hair out or simply park and walk to your destination? It would be faster. One woman called CFJC-TV7 recently to complain it had taken her 40 minutes to go from Sixth Avenue, down Victoria, to First Avenue. There’s more. It’s “let’s buy a building downtown and tell you we’re going to do

DALE BASS Street LEVEL something with it, but we won’t tell you right now.” Some of those same conspiracy theorists think the reason we haven’t been told the future of the former Kamloops Daily News property is because it might become an issue in November’s election. Yes, all of this is conjecture and speculation, but there’s a reason why — it’s not really clear why our city councillors are doing these things. In fact, I’ve heard a new verb pop up among some of my friends for obfuscation and avoidance — milobarring. As individuals, I like our mayor and councillors. They’re well-meaning people who have taken up public service to improve the city. No one can doubt that. What’s disturbing, though, is, in having that power, there’s no clear leadership, no innovative thinking, no risktaking, nothing that comes close to the Tournament Capital Centre project that is Mel Rothenburger’s legacy. Not much even comes close to the work Terry Lake did as mayor — along with the rest around the horse-

shoe council table — to upgrade the city’s airport. There’s nothing to match angry mayor Cliff Branchflower condemning the provincial government in 1992 that Kamloops “has been shafted” in its bid to get a cancer clinic or when he said he felt betrayed when Weyerhaeuser Canada moved its head office out of the city. I hope someone decides soon to run for mayor, if only to see some fulsome debate about issues that might get Milobar to take some stands. There are plenty of people out there who would be formidable challengers, including former councillors John O’Fee (I can hear him laughing at the idea right now) and Denis Walsh. Current councillors who would be fascinating to watch include Tina Lange (she’s also now laughing, I bet) and maybe Ken Christian. I just hope for someone to provide some strong competition, as I suspect local lawyer Bill Sundhu will give Conservative MP Cathy McLeod, should he be successful in his bid to claim the NDP nomination for next year’s federal election. If no one takes up the challenge, we can expect another boring election campaign that will lead to another four years of boring — except for the day when they finally tell us what they want to do with the old KDN property. I’m betting a new city hall and I’m also betting it’s such an expensive proposition it would not be too popular in an election year. Prove me wrong, mayor. Tell us all something. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Intervenor needed in playground battle When two sides in a labour dispute cannot even agree on when and for how long they met on the weekend, how can anybody expect a resolution to more weighty matters? That teachers began their fullscale strike this week was no surprise given the acrimony between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government (through its bargaining arm, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association). Not only were words exchanged over when and how long the two sides met on the weekend, the groups still cannot agree on what each others’ proposal will cost. When a 7.5 per cent pay hike may actually be a seven per cent increase and when a 9.25 per cent lift might really be 14.5 per cent, it is time to call timeout. As one wag put it — the union and government are either inhabited by liars or by people with extremely poor math skills. It has become past ridiculous. Now that school buses are running and students are getting to school to take provincial exams, there is precious little the strike is interrupting. Many year-end ceremonies and other events have been and will be held off school grounds thanks to parents who rolled up their sleeves and just got it done. By the time the lockout and strike arrived, the school year was all but over. What happens next depends on the resolve of teachers. As KTW found when visiting picket lines this week, the reduced pay is seriously affecting some teachers. But, as many told this newspaper, they feel what they are doing is worth it. Government has the hammer in this dispute. At any moment, the B.C. Liberals can simply legislate a contract. But, wielding the power does not necessarily come with a white hat. It is past time this dispute was sent to binding arbitration. If the union believes in its fight; if the Christy Clark administration believes likewise, both sides need to be confident enough to have a third party lend credence to their argument.

Re: Letter: B.C.’s education ‘industry’ could use a voucher system:

“A voucher system is a great idea. I pay my share of taxes and, if I want a better place to educate my children, I should still be entitled to the same level of funding as if they were going to public school. “The teachers and their union have too much power with regards to how our children are educated. They definitely need some competition so they can realize they are not superior to other people. “How many times do teachers bring up their university degrees? “Just because you went to university doesn’t mean you are entitled to the kind of wages and benefits teachers think they should have. “If we had more options for our children, I am sure most people would not pick the public education system.” — posted by Doug

Re: Story: Ottawa approves Enbridge pipeline project:

“Disappointing, but not surprising. “The whole outcome was pre-determined from the get-go and built on lies and cheap foreign labour and will send Canadian money and jobs offshore to China.” — posted by 1LoneWolf

Our teachers need support they are not getting Editor: Some people are still wondering exactly why teachers are on strike. Well, let me try to explain. Years ago, when a teacher had a child with some kind of issue, whether it be mental or physical, she was provided with an aide. Suddenly, the government changed the rules for which they were found guilty in the courts — not once, but twice. They have had no consequences for their actions. The only ones who have had consequences are the students and their teachers. Today, teachers are trying to reach out

to each and every child in their care, but it is impossible. Today, they could have four or five children in their classrooms who may have any number of issues, including ADHD, Tourette syndrome, autism, very low cognitive ability, mental-health issues, and aggressive behaviour — and they do not have an aide. Teachers are trying to cope and they are trying to get help for each child. For this, the B.C. Liberal government has seen fit to dock their salaries. It is for each of your children, whether they be average, bright or in need of extra help from these teachers.

Our province is one of the richest in Canada, yet we spend less on education on a per-student basis than the other provinces, except for Prince Edward Island. Why is that? Premier Christy Clark has done nothing but ridicule, disrespect and demoralize the teachers and it needs to stop. Our teachers need help and parents and the public need to step up to the plate and stand up for our children and for the teachers who are trying to do their best under a government that does not give them the necessary support. Marie Fabbro Kamloops

Find middle ground

DISRESPECTING NATURE A Barnhartvale resident wants to highlight what people should not be doing when they visit the more pristine areas of Kamloops. He took this photo of a truck that became stuck in McGloshan Lake on May 31. The area resident is dismayed the lake would be so mistreated and, as he told KTW, he is hopeful publicizing the poor stunt will lead to repercussions for the guilty parties.

Whoa! to Westsyde drivers

Editor: Hi neighbours. I love living in Westsyde, which has such friendly and caring people — except those who drive too fast on Westsyde Road. It’s not a throughway as we are all more or less going to or coming from the same place — our Westsyde homes. Lots of folks driving to and from work, shopping and picking up kids from school. So many people walking or riding their bikes and using the crosswalks. How about it, seniors, adults, young drivers and soccer moms? How about slowing down? Mark Hyslop, Kamloops

Editor: Here’s a novel idea, which may or may not have been proposed before. Government, which is answerable to the people, has put a proposal on the table. The teachers’ union has also put a proposal on the table. What if there was a proposal that split the difference between the two and the people (us) voted on all three? If the “people’s vote” was binding, then both sides would have to answer and comply with those who put both in power. I suspect the middle-ground vote would win. This way, the democratic process would serve both sides and make clear we, the people, are the ones who should really decide if either side remains firm in where they now stand. Neil Vannan Kamloops

Ending homelessness focus of Friday event By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

In the past 18 months, 193 youth were asked two key questions: Who pays for your shelter and have you ever experienced homelessness in Kamloops? Fifty-four of the youth said no one pays for their shelter — an indication of homelessness of some degree — and 66 said they have been homeless. The numbers may surprise many in the city, but they come as no surprise to those who work with the homeless and marginal-

ized — and they want to see it end. On Friday, June 20, A Way Home: A Plan to End Homelessness in Kamloops will be launched at a public gathering at the Parkside Lounge in Interior Savings Centre. The document comes from work that began in November 2012 when the city was named a pilot community in the federal Mobilizing Local Capacity to End Youth Homelessness Program. Carmin Mazotta, the city’s social and community-development supervisor, said it’s been “quite a process” that involved focus

Habitat seeks a family

Habitat for Humanity is looking for one more family to eventually move into a house it will build. The Kamloops branch of the international organization said it is accepting applications until June 27 for its project this year, a duplex on Westsyde Road. Application information is online at habitatkamloops.ca, at the organization’s ReStore at 1425 Cariboo Place or by email to habitatkamloops@live. ca. Housing is built to help families trying to overcome the cycle of poverty. Families chosen have to put in their own volunteer labour, alongside other volunteers, to finish the build. The houses are then sold to the families at zero per cent interest.

groups with at-risk and homeless youth — a group defined as 14 to 25 years of age — as well as studying what other communities do, what works, what doesn’t and what is most important. For Kamloops, that means three key components as the group moves forward with the document, finding a way to prevent youth

homelessness, improving their access to housing and monitoring the progress. John Paul Baker is the facilitator who worked with the project and the youth committee brought together to move the work forward. “One of the important principles in it is a shift from managing homelessness to preventing it,” he said,

noting that goal is the foundation of the framework the document presents. Mazotta said the group heard from many youth that more supports are needed as they age out of the fostercare system. She said the plan is to work with the local and provincial levels of the Ministry of Children and Family

Development to create change. Baker said that age group of youth leaving their teens and entering their 20s involves many variables that need to be addressed “to foster healthy transitions to adulthood.” Their social network is evolving and employment becomes more essential. He said it is simply

not an easy time for many youth. The document will be presented from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and, although it is open to the public, seating is limited. People who want to attend can call Claire Macleod, the city’s housing and homelessness project manager, at 250828-3758 or email cmacleod@kamloops.ca.

Hamlets residents’ council executives Anne Harrison, Nigel Powell, Barbara Fraser and Richard Crawford say they don’t think the city cares about their safety. “They have no idea at city hall the disabilities some people have,” says Fraser. Andrea Klassen/KTW

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

Hamlets resident Gordon Gore had originally hoped to get three or four of his neighbours at the Westsyde assisted-living complex to speak to KTW about the need for a mid-block crosswalk connecting the facility to the shopping centre on the other side of Overlander Drive. However, by mid-afternoon on the day KTW visited, more than 30 residents were waiting on the pavement to vent their frustrations at the city’s refusal to provide what they consider a necessary safety measure. “You’re just a senior and seniors are dispensable,” said Gale Fadenricht, a member of the Hamlets’ residents’ council, summing up what appeared to be the popular sentiment. For the past year, residents at the Hamlets have been asking the city to install a crosswalk leading from the facility’s underground parking area to the Westsyde Shopping Centre entrance directly across the road. But, city staffers say the traffic and pedestrian volumes on the street don’t merit the installation of another crosswalk, noting residents should instead use crossings at either end of the block. “There’s a difference between the idea of being safe and feeling safe,” city CAO David Trawin said when the issue was raised again at a council meeting late last month. “If someone drives down the street four times a day every day and they never see a pedestrian crossing, then they get conditioned there’s never going to be anyone in the crosswalk. What happens is an elderly

person steps into that crosswalk and they get pasted. It’s not safe.” Other members of the Hamlets residents’ council say city staff have not spent enough time on the street to get a feel for how often people are crossing in the middle of the road. “We often sit out in that first apartment in the corner there and we watch people crossing over all the time,” said Anne Harrison. “It depends on the time of day,” said Barbara Fraser. “It might be a day when not many people are out or it might be really active. They [the city] can’t come out for 15 minutes and say, ‘Oh, it’s not busy.’” Residents also take issue with the crosswalks the city has installed, saying they are too far away for those at the Hamlets with more severe mobility issues. “Their decision is asinine. It’s not based on need, it’s not based on fact,” said Nigel Powell, who first spearheaded the crosswalk call. Powell said many residents feel less safe crossing up the block, where cars swing into the shopping centre from Westsyde Road at high speeds and with little warning: “There’s a worse sense of security to go down to that corner.” Powell is also unhappy residents weren’t given any notice that council would revisit the issue at its May 27 meeting. Because the issue was raised during councillor reports, it wasn’t detailed in advance on the city’s agenda. At that meeting, council opted to stick to the status quo on Overlander, leaving the crosswalk situation as it is. “At this point, we’re not changing our minds,” development and engineering director Marvin Kwiatkowski said.

‘I believe it’s worth it’ X From A1

“For my students, I’m a safe place to go. So, they don’t have that safe place anymore and that’s emotionally troublesome to me — and it is to every teacher, all across B.C.” Teena Mangan, a learning-assistance resource teacher at Arthur Hatton elementary, is in an unusual situation because of the strike. Mangan is in the process of adopting a child and said being on strike has caused some complications. Nonetheless, the 14-year teacher remains committed to the cause, perhaps because of the child that she might soon have on the way. “I’m fighting for my future in teaching,” Mangan said, noting about 20 per cent of students at Arthur Hatton are classed as special-needs students by the ministry. “Issues of classroom compositions and sizes are of particular concern to teachers at the North Kamloops elementary school, she said. “So, for me, that’s important, for my future family, that I have a job that’s doable, that I can make sure that I can do this job and be able to have a family and be able to afford that, as well as be able to spend time with them, rather than having to work 12 hours a day trying to keep my head above water,” Mangan said. Across the schools KTW visited on Tuesday — South Kamloops secondary, NorKam secondary, Arthur Hatton elementary — teachers spoke of cutting back and saving where possible. Even those who had saved in preparation for job action were aware their money might run out at some point.

Westmount elementary Grade 7 teacher Jamie Blower seeks to make his point clear that teachers are forced to be thrifty as the strike continues.

They also emphasized the job action was as much, if not more, about teaching and learning conditions than about money. The importance of improved classroom conditions was underscored by Blower, whose kids are in kindergarten and Grade 1 and have more than a decade of education in the public-education system ahead of them. The family has already cancelled a planned trip to Europe to visit, where Blower’s mother-in-law lives. He said it’s disappointing his kids are going to miss out on seeing their grandmother and experiencing international travel. “As hard as it is and, you know, wondering how we’re going to work our way through summer without any paycheques, we think it’s worth it,” he said. Blower noted that for those who think the strike is about money, it will take he and his wife years to make back the amount of money they will lose in the job action, regardless of the eventual contract agreement. The tension of the last few months has been tough on the kids, too. “It’s been very stressful,” Blower said. “I actually had to apologize to my son last night. He’s seven years old, he’s a pretty smart little guy. I said, ‘Sorry, guys, I’m so stressed lately and I haven’t been able to do the things I would normally do,’ and he says, ‘Don’t worry, dad, I understand. It’s the strike.’ “The ultimate message I want to get out is that with all these stresses and stuff, the bottom line is, I guess, I believe it’s worth it.”

Lafarge ensuring it’s all good to the last drop By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Last year, coffee drinkers in the U.S. alone went through more than 8.3-billion K cups — the singleserving plastic pods used in Keurig coffee machines. But, as concerns about the waste produced by single-serve coffee machines mounts across North America, a Kamloops company is finding a way to keep the cups out of landfills and cut down on its fossil-fuel consumption at the same time. Each month, large bins of the used K cups collected from Van Houtte customers around the region make their way to the Lafarge cement plant in east Kamloops. “Instead of putting them in the landfill, we’re recovering the energy value from them and it’s offsetting the use of coal or petroleum coke or natural gas,” plant manager Eric Isenor said. The cups are dried in the plant’s kiln, then shredded. One-and-a-half tonnes of shredded K cups would be equiva-

lent to about a tonne of coal. The plant’s alternative-fuel system also uses wood chips from nearby plywood manufacturers and other biomass. Isenor said the goal is to have the Kamloops plant use 10 per cent biomass for its energy this year, up from five per cent in 2013. By 2020, all Lafarge plants are tasked with using 50 per cent alternative fuels. Morten Schroder, Van Houtte’s district manager, said when the program began last year, his staff were collecting a small bin of cups per month. Now, Lafarge’s monthly delivery takes two shipping containers. “You look in there and it’s a sea of K cups,” he said. While not all of Van Houtte’s customers are onboard in the region, in some areas, the company recovers up to 80 per cent of the cups it delivers, he said. By the end of the program’s first year, the company had kept about 70,000 pounds of cups — more than 1.6-million plastic containers, by Schroder’s estimate — out of the landfill.

Schroder said the deal doesn’t cost anything for Lafarge or Van Houtte’s customers and is a big part of the company’s goal to get all of the K cups it supplies diverted away from landfills by 2020. “People are ready for this,” Schroder said. He’s hoping the company can get up to 95 per cent diversion from customers participating in the program by the end of the year. Isenor said the program is proving popular at Lafarge, as well. “We’ve got people when they’re coming to visit this plant from Vancouver who are collecting from their mother-in-law and the K cups come and they go in the bin,” he said. “We’ve got our own employees bringing them in.” The plant also has a roadside community drop-off bin on Shuswap Road, just outside the plant, and is encouraging the public to bring in their used coffee pods as well. As the waste from single-serve coffee machines becomes of greater concern to companies and communities, Schroder said he expects to see what his

Shelter in India goal of June 26 fundraiser By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A few years ago, Donna Bishop, a social worker in the city, was heading to India to do some work for a Vancouver-based charity. She was asked to check out a non-government organization there, the Trans Himalayan Society, that had asked for some funding support. The experience changed Bishop, someone already with a deep understanding of the sadder and more-challenged size of life. “I was blown away by what they were doing there,” she said of the work being done in a part of the world few understand. The more she learned, the more determined she was to do something to help the workers there with their goal to create a shelter for women, much like the one in Kamloops run by the YMCAYWCA. Together, Bishop — through the Warren Atkinson Society in Kamloops — and the local shelter are starting on that fundraising by hosting a dinner at the Flavours of India on Thursday, June 26. there will be two seatings at the restaurant at 550 West Columbia St., one at 5:30 p.m. and

another at 7:30 p.m. Diners will be shown a visual tour of life in the Himalayan hills and can shop at an Indian bazaar. Entertainment will also be provided. The Himalayan area she’s focussed on has an economy largely based on agriculture “and no one can survive in agriculture” so the men tend to head into the cities for work, leaving the women to tend the fields. Often, Bishop said, the men come home with drug addictions and sexually transmitted diseases — and the lives of the women become worse “and they have no power, nowhere to go.” Even to physically flee to an unknown future means navigating footpaths through the hills. The mother of one of the social workers there has given the group land — in itself, a unique reality as property normally doesn’t pass through the generations on the matriarchal side. In this case, the woman’s husband is dead and, watching her daughter, “the mom said she can do this to make a change. She wants her daughter’s work to continue.” With the land in place, money is needed to build something, ideally a place with room for 10 beds, with a couple of social workers to provide program-

TOURISM

A rapid race to a really awesome experience

In Kamloops, people can take a water-rafting trip suited to their interests â&#x20AC;&#x201D; extreme, casual or novice. Take a motorized-raft trip or enjoy a paddle trip and really get involved with the river. It depends on how much excitement someone wants. There are three rivers to raft in Kamloops Country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Thompson, Adams and Clearwater. A variety of companies, some with 20 years or more experience, spend six months a year guiding rafters of all skill levels.

Thompson River

Those who want to experience the Thompson usually start at Spences Bridge and end at Lytton, the Rafting Capital of Canada.

Guide your raft through rapids with names like the Frog, the Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen and the Jaws of Death.

Adams River

The Adams, near Shuswap Lake, is a wonderful starting point for both first-timers and experienced rafters. The Weir, the Ender Waves and especially the Gorge, where the river spills through a narrow canyon, are breathtaking.

Clearwater River

Rush down the Clearwater in Wells Gray Park, past volcanoes, lava rock formations, lush forests and spectacular waterfalls. The region is an unspoiled wilderness and is one of the best-kept secrets in B.C.

Kamloops Symphony Orchestra

Some say there is nothing like experiencing live orchestral music â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Kamloops can provide that experience. From September to May, the KSO offers live music by composers from around the world and in a range of styles. Performances are held at the 710-seat Sagebrush Theatre, 1300 Ninth Ave., and the Pavilion Theatre, 1025 Lorne St.

Secwepemc Museum and Heritage Park

In order to experience the cultural history of the First Nations people of this area, a visit to the Secwepemc Museum and Heritage Park is in order. The museum exhibits incorporate the oral history and legends of the Secwepemc people, along with historical photographs, illustrations and artifacts.

2014 Ribfest has more meat on its bones

Ribfest is back for its third edition this summer. Running Aug. 8 to Aug. 10 in Riverside Park, Ribfest is a growing attraction and the Daybreak Rotary Club of Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; biggest fundraising event of the year. It brings about 60,000 people from across the province for a weekend of live music and rib-tasting. The 2012 inaugural Ribfest was a resounding success, raising $40,000 for Kamloops charities. Last year, it raised $60,000 for various youth organizations in the city. With an ultimate fundraising goal of $100,000, Ribfest is expected to grow again this year. 2014 chairman Ryan Scorgie said the club isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting to reach that goal just yet, but its continued growth is a good sign the amount raised will increase every year.

Police defend equipment By Alison Auld

CANADIAN PRESS

The RCMP rebuffed criticism that it has failed to properly equip and train its officers, two weeks after three of its members were fatally gunned down and two others injured in Moncton, N.B. In a lengthy statement, the force said the investigation into the June 4 shootings is in its early stages and investigators are still trying to determine what happened. The RCMP said it also cannot release sensitive information that might jeopardize court proceedings. But it dismissed as “personal views’’ and “speculation’’ that officers in New Brunswick did not have access to hard body armour or C8 patrol carbines, a type of assault rifle used by military personnel and many police forces “Hard body armour has been available in Codiac since 2011,’’ the one-page statement said, referencing the detachment that responded to the Moncton shootings. “There have also been suggestions regarding the new C8

patrol carbines. “While it is true that all officers do not have training on these yet, it is an ongoing process and the training and rollout of the C8s is continuing, and that includes in Codiac.’’ The statement comes after retired and serving members say the force has been slow to equip officers with weapons, like the carbines, to properly defend themselves. Rob Creasser of the Mounted Police Professional Association said many detachments still don’t have the high-powered rifles or specialized armour that is better able to protect against rifle fire. Creasser, a retired member of the RCMP who now works with the professional association representing Mounties, said when he heard about the shootings and subsequent manhunt in Moncton it took him back to the deaths of four RCMP officers near Mayerthorpe, Alta., in 2005. The officers in Alberta were guarding a marijuana grow-op when the owner opened fire on them with a rifle, leaving them to

defend themselves with 9-mm handguns. The shooting deaths led to recommendations seven years ago that police be equipped with proper protective vests and the C8 carbines, something Creasser says has been woefully slow to be acted upon by senior RCMP brass. “The rollout of these recommendations has been an absolute debacle,’’ he said in an interview. Creasser said after looking at photos from the night of the Moncton shootings, it appeared RCMP officers were wearing soft protective vests and using 9-mm handguns against a gunman who was allegedly carrying two rifles. Supt. Troy Lightfoot said he couldn’t discuss any specifics in the Moncton case since it is still under investigation and before the courts. But he said the force has distributed 1,330 patrol carbines to divisions across the country since 2012 and plans to provide another 219 by

September. He said almost 5,000 sets of hard body armour have been dispersed, with one in every police vehicle. He said not everyone has been trained on the carbines, but he didn’t know how many remained to be trained. Lightfoot would not say whether the Moncton officers had been trained on the carbine. Justin Bourque, 24, was charged with three counts of firstdegree murder and two counts of attempted murder after the shootings in Moncton. He is due back in court next month and has not entered pleas on the charges. A serving member of the RCMP who did not want his name used for fear of reprisal from the department said he was dismayed to see the gear being used in the Moncton incident, years after upgraded weaponry was recommended. He conceded that it’s unclear they could have changed the outcome in Moncton.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Planning a Purchase? Know the FIVE C’s of Borrowing Money Purchasing a home is a major decision; it represents the single largest purchase a family will ever make. So when it comes to qualifying for home financing, what should you know? Here are the 5 C’s important to the bank: Capital – How much do you have to put down for the purchase of your new home? The larger the down payment, the less risk you present to the lender. 5% is the normal down payment required to purchase a home in Canada. However, if your credit is good, there are a few lenders who can gift you the down payment in return for a higher mortgage interest rate. Having no down payment is not always a limitation. Capacity – Is your income sufficient to support the repayment of the requested loan amount? Most lenders will allow about 40% of your income to go towards housing costs and debt. The housing and debt calculation looks like this: monthly debt payments plus housing costs plus heat plus ½ strata fees if applicable must be under 40% of gross income. Be aware: Monthly debt payments includes: car loan, credit card, lease payments, etc. Housing costs include mortgage and taxes for all your properties Heat is usually estimated between $85 to $100 per month Credit – Is the financial institution confident that you will pay them back? Credit is the evaluation of your habits when it comes to borrowing. If you have never taken out a loan or used a credit card, you may be surprised to find out you have no credit rating at all! A credit check reports your credit history and provides a numerical score based on your habits of borrowing and repaying debt (0 to 900, 900 is best). Collateral – Will the real estate purchase offer suitable collateral to the lender? In the event of a default, the lender will sell your collateral to recoup their loan plus foreclosure expenses. So, lenders will do their homework to ensure the property is in good condition with good resale value. They may not always agree with your purchase price. In some cases, lenders will require an appraisal. Character – What kind of impression do you make? Character is your reputation and reliability. The bank may not have had prior dealings with you, so how do they determine your character? The lender will often look at your: •Assets/ Debt/ Net worth – How have you spent your earnings? What do you have to show for it? •Educational background and work experience *People with a transient job history or address history are seen as less reliable than someone who has been in a home or job for 20 years.* For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca Today’s Mortgage Matters is brought to you by Steve Bucher.

Not yet free of invasive zebra mussels, liquid potash ‘golden opportunity’ By Chinta Puxley CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — Manitoba has declared victory in its first battle with invading zebra mussels but says the unique treatment it used to kill the shellfish doesn’t mean the province is free of them yet. The province sealed off four harbours in mid-May with a silt curtain before injecting liquid potash into the water. The concentration of potash was increased until it suffocated the mussels. The experiment received global attention because it’s believed to be the first time liquid potash has been used in open water. Scientists who study the mussels called it a “golden opportunity’’ to find a way to prevent their proliferation in water bodies around the world. Conservation Minister Gord Mackintosh said the treatment was successful and killed the mussels in the harbours. But, it was just the first step in the fight to keep the mussels out of the province, he added. “We’ve won the first battle in what is likely to be a long war and it must be a hard-fought war,’’ Mackintosh said. “There is a good chance that zebra mussels are still lurking outside of the treated harbour areas. We have got to detect wherever else these zebra mussels might be.’’ The invasive species, which has been in the Great Lakes for almost two decades and has spread throughout parts of the United States, was discovered for the first time in Manitoba last October. The mussels reproduce quickly and can disrupt the food chain, clog water pipes and create algae. Mackintosh said the success of Manitoba’s experimental treatment has attracted worldwide attention from countries such as the United

States and Spain. The province hasn’t ruled out using the treatment, which

cost $500,000, again, Mackintosh said. For now, the province is increasing

monitoring on Lake Winnipeg. There are also five decontamination units

for boats that could spread the mussels. He implored boaters and residents to

watch for the mussels and ensure they aren’t unwittingly unleashed into waterways.

It could take years before the province can declare itself free of zebra mussels.

Amazing things happen when we give where we live.

We believe that by working together we can all make a difference in our communities. Since 2000, the TELUS team has volunteered over 5 million hours, and last year, we gave $46 million to local charities and organizations – helping communities across Canada flourish.

ARE YOU RUNNING AN EVENT?

Frustration after tornado ANGUS, Ont. — Frustration mingled with relief in a central Ontario community devastated by a tornado as residents anxious to return to their battered homes were told to wait until authorities assessed the damage. The twister ripped through the Essa Township, about 100 kilometres north of Toronto, at about 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 17, blowing out windows, tearing off roofs and downing trees as it carved a path through a residential subdivision. About 100 homes were damaged in Angus, a community within the township, and three people suffered minor injuries, officials said. Residents said they took comfort in knowing no lives were lost in the storm that claimed so many of their possessions. But tensions simmered at an afternoon

community meeting after they were told it could be days before they would be allowed home. “It will feel like a lifetime — it already has,’’ said Amanda Leal, whose home was left without a roof, its windows all blown in. “People are getting angry because it’s a lot of work and there’s a lot of us that are going to be out of a place for a long time.’’ Others said they weren’t getting clear answers from officials tasked with helping them deal with the disaster. “When are they going to look at these houses? Who’s going to look at these houses?’’ said Frank Colucci, who hoped to salvage his TV and couch before the weather ruined them. Essa Township Mayor Terry Dowdall said he understood how difficult it must be for those displaced, but stressed officials were working as quickly as

possible. “We are doing the best that we can do for these residents, and our goal is the same as theirs, and hopefully they realize that,’’ he said in an afternoon news conference. “I think people are frustrated sometimes because we can’t give them that exact answer and I can understand that — there’s frustration, people are out of their houses, they don’t have all their items.’’ The mayor said earlier he had never before seen such destruction in the community. The township’s fire chief, meanwhile, said it was “amazing’’ that the twister touched down at the “right time of day.’’ “People weren’t asleep. . . people were up and people were able to be aware of what’s going on,’’ Essa Fire Chief Cynthia Tustin said. Some who witnessed the storm said they were still shaken by

their ordeal. Leal and her two sons barely had time to seek refuge in the basement before the twister hit, she said. “It got dark, it got loud,’’ she recalled, her voice quivering. “I haven’t even slept. Every time I close my eyes, I replay it and hear it over and over again. I don’t think I’m ever going to stop hearing that noise.’’ Volunteers dropped off non-perishable foods at a community centre throughout the day while others wandered near the ravaged homes, offering snacks to residents gathered on porches and street corners. Environment Canada said preliminary estimates suggest the tornado that struck Angus was an EF-2 with estimated wind speeds near 180 km/h. The weather agency said the third tornado of the season tracked east from Angus to Barrie.

Report says Canadians stay at jobs a long time By Julian Beltrame CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A job for life? It sounds like an outdated notion, but a new report suggests that workers staying with the same employer for most of their career is as prevalent today as ever. The study, by CIBC economists looking at the changing labour market, concluded one aspect hasn’t changed much over the past three decades. It found that most Canadians tend to stay at their place of

work — if not for life — at least for a long time. Using Statistics Canada data dating to 1986, economists Ben Benjamin Tal and Nick Exarhos calculate the probability of keeping a job — referred to as the retention rate — once an a employee has been with one company for five years or more is now at 95 per cent. About 50 per cent of Canadians in the workforce have been with one employer longer than five years — a record high — and well up from 42 per cent

in the early 1990s. In fact, retention rates appear to rise with each year of seniority, starting at 60 per cent for those who have been at a job for one year — also near record levels — and rising to 95 per cent after five years. That is the opposite of what many expected in the new information economy where it was thought that workers would constantly need to retrain as jobs changed and employers outsourced more and more of their workforce.

Emergency personnel injured during training CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Two paramedics suffered serious burns while another medic and two Ottawa police officers sustained minor injuries during a training exercise that involved the use of explosives. The exercise involved forcedentry techniques, said Anthony Di Monte, chief of the Ottawa paramedics. “They were using concussive

explosive devices to do breach entries with the tactical team,’’ Di Monte said. “Their injuries were as a result of that. There was a blast and flame, so they have burn injuries; they don’t seem to have traumatic injuries.’’ Di Monte said the two men are in intensive care. “They have second-degree burns in the hands, behind their legs and some of their body,’’ he said. “They are not life-threaten-

ing. They are stable at this time.’’ Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau said the team was practising how to force an entry to a home. The exercise — part of a regular training routine that involves Ottawa police working closely with the RCMP and other emergency services — was held in Kanata, a suburb west of Ottawa. Bordeleau would provide only scant details of exactly what happened.

Wishart opts to play in Kelowna By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

HE SUN HAS SET ON THE LLIAM WISHART SWEEPSTAKES. Wishart, one of the best high-school football players from the Tournament Capital in recent history, has opted to play in the junior ranks for the Okanagan Sun of Kelowna instead of the Kamloops Broncos. “For a guy like myself, who’s been doing this for eight years, it’s frustrating and it’s bashing my head against the wall,” Broncos’ president Dino Bernardo said. “We’re struggling to keep this team afloat so that Kamloops kids can play here and Kamloops kids don’t want to play here.” Wishart, 17, is 6-foot-2, 185 pounds and runs 4.67 seconds in the 40-yard dash. He played

seven games last season with the Valleyview Vikings, amassing 652 yards on the ground and eight rushing touchdowns on 94 carries. He also completed 30 of 61 passes and threw two touchdowns. “I’ve played on a lot of teams that were successful and some that were not successful and the most fun I’ve had were the ones that, not necessarily I did the best, but our team did the best. I just want that again,” Wishart said. Bernardo had only good things to say about Wishart, who handled the tough decision admirably. “We sat down and talked,” Bernardo said. “He’s a great kid. “He knows he could come to this team and be a superstar and get a ton of playing time or he can be a part of a team that’s going to do something. “They’re a national-championship calibre team and, for a guy

that’s going to spend one or two years in junior, he thinks he needs to be part of a better team in order to expose himself.” Wishart, who would like to play receiver with his new B.C. Football Conference squad, is exactly the type of player the Broncos would love to snag — a local product with great talent and strong character. It pains the Broncos’ president to see him go. “I’m not sure what it’s going to take,” said Bernardo, part-owner of the Commodore Grand Cafe and Lounge. “It’s been eight years. The last great grad class that we had decided to go CIS [Canadian Interuniversity Sport]. “I consider him [Lliam] a friend and I want him to succeed, but it’s frustrating that we kill ourselves to keep this team alive

on a shoestring budget and we do all the work and fundraising and Kamloops kids don’t want to play here.” The former Viking reflected on the difficulty of the decision. “I worked for Dino [washing dishes at the Commodore] every now and then and we built up a relationship and it was tough to tell him I was going to Kelowna,” Wishart said. “The Sun are a little more established. “They have a deeper bench and it’s going to make me better playing against a better defence and competing against other receivers.” Wishart, who has professionalfootball aspirations, attended spring camps with the Broncos and Sun before committing to Kelowna.

Bojeson is Canada’s best By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Tennis Centre member Eric Bojeson is the No. 1-ranked player in Canada in the 70- to 74-year-old division. Dave Eagles/KTW

Eric Bojeson’s life would look a lot different without tennis. The game has taken him around the world, provided him with employment and it even played matchmaker, with the 71-year-old having met his wife of 39 years at the University of British Columbia — on a tennis court. “My dad introduced me to tennis when I was nine,” said Bojeson, the nation’s No. 1-ranked player in the 70- to 74-year-old division. “I’ll play forever, until I can’t move anymore.” Outside of a sore serving shoulder, the Kamloops Tennis Centre member is moving just fine these days. Bojeson successfully defended his singles and doubles titles in his

age bracket at the provincial championships, which wrapped up at Jericho Tennis Club in Vancouver on June 15. He is the reigning Canadian champion, having won gold at nationals last summer, and the retired schoolteacher will try and repeat in Toronto in August. Then there’s the international duty. Bojeson will captain the four-person Canadian team competing at the International Tennis Federation Super-Seniors World Team Championships in Antalya, Turkey, from Oct. 13 to Oct. 18. It will mark the fifth time the Kamloops

resident has attended the world team championships. The tournament in years past has brought him to Australia, Austria and twice to Turkey. A father of two, Bojeson grew up in Vancouver before his job as a schoolteacher brought him to 100 Mile House, where he stayed for 10 years. In 1987, he accepted a job at York University in Toronto. He was the sports administrator, taught kinesiology and coached tennis at Canada’s third-largest university. Bojeson retired in 2005 and moved to Kamloops to be closer to his grandchildren and son, Martin, owner of Balanced Foot Care Orthotics and Footwear. Along with playing partner Horst Dammoltz of Vancouver, Bojeson claimed the Western Canadian indoor seniors doubles championship

in Edmonton in April. He also claimed the singles crown. Dammoltz, Don Axtell from Comox, who Bojeson beat (6-1, 6-0) to win the 2014 singles provincial title, and John Tibbits from Waterloo round out the Canadian team heading to Turkey. There will be about 25 teams from across the globe gunning for the Jack Crawford Cup, handed out to the winner of the 70- to 74-year-old category at worlds. Keeping fit has been key to Bojeson’s success on the court. He either plays tennis or trains six days a week. In fact, he bolted to the swimming pool immediately following an interview with KTW. “I don’t take it as seriously as I used to,” Bojeson said. “But, as long as I can move, I’ll play tennis.”

Floppers and divers and pansies, oh my! HOT THESPIAN

ACTION

SINCE 1865.

MARTY HASTINGS The Tattle of Hastings

Y COLOMBIAN stepbrother Brandon, my South African uncle Malcolm and Sarah, a cute girl from White Rock I used to have a crush on, have something in common — they’re unimpressed with the flopping going on at the World Cup in Brazil. That became evident when I read my Facebook news feed a couple days ago and each of their status updates lined up in a row with sentiments similar to Uncle Mally’s. “Perhaps the biggest problem that FIFA faces is how to deal with theatrics — It’s pathetic!” Malcolm wrote. “Do away with the ‘foul’ rule and let the toughest man win — isn’t that how it works in the animal kingdom?” It’s a small cross-section of people from differing walks of life and, while it proves nothing scientifically, it’s an example of how diving can turn people off of the Beautiful Game, especially on-the-fence spectators giving soccer another chance. Fred of Brazil wasted no time bringing the football world’s attention to the issue when he went down as if he’d been shot under minimal contact from Dejan Lovren of Croatia on Day 1. He drew a penalty and Neymar scored what proved to be the winning goal in Brazil’s 3-1 victory. There has been some fantastic football on display — see Robin van Persie’s Superman header in Holland’s 5-1 demolition of Spain — and I wouldn’t say diving has overshadowed the tournament. It has, however, been a black mark on the World Cup and I can’t say I’m surprised. Until governing bodies, coaches, referees and players take a hard-line stance on the problem, these laughable shams will remain a part of the game. In May of 2012, I wrote a story headlined Ugly diving plaguing Beautiful Game, which featured comments from Tom McManus, head coach of the TRU WolfPack women’s soccer team. “We’ve been trying to promote the game here [in

Canada], yet people will see this and say, ‘That was ridiculous,’” McManus said of a dive by Jun Marques Davidson in a Vancouver Whitecaps’ match. “They say it’s embarrassing watching that. And it is. The kids will see it on TV, too.” “If you want to dive, you’re not on my team. I don’t need you around.” That’s the attitude all coaches should have. I have a few hockey-mad friends with a hate on for soccer and it’s tough to defend the game when grown men are acting like pansies. Each and every player on the planet should follow the example of Valon Behrami of Switzerland. He made a superb, goal- and match-saving tackle inside his own 18-yard box and went on a mercurial run up the pitch before being hauled down at midfield. Instead of appealing for a foul by rolling around and calling for the stretcher, he got up immediately and continued his run. The referee played a great advantage and the Swiss scored on the move in the game’s final seconds to beat Ecuador 2-1.

The trouble is, with the lack of staunch regulations against flopping and the hesitancy of many officials to enforce the rules that are in place, if you’re not diving, you’re often at a competitive disadvantage, especially if you’re playing against the likes of Arjen Robben. Perhaps if an automatic red card and a six-match ban were in place for being caught, players might think twice. Then you’d have to start worrying about real fouls being called dives, unjust sendings off and unwarranted harsh suspensions. If there’s any chance of rectifying the problem, it has to be a concerted effort, from the grassroots up to the very top. It should be a pride thing. You shouldn’t want to dive because you know it’s disgusting and it shameful. There’s no simple resolution and I’m pretty sure painfully absurd theatrics are here for the long haul.

Booth on waivers Redskins under fi re Spain sent packing By Graham Dunbar ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO — Defending champion Spain, the dominant global football power for the past six years, was eliminated from World Cup contention on Wednesday, June 18, with a 2-0 loss to Chile. Spain’s famed passing game failed against a high-tempo, tenacious Chile team, its era ending in the storied Maracana Stadium filled mostly with Chilean supporters. Eduardo Vargas tricked goalkeeper Iker Casillas into diving the wrong way, then shot into an unguarded goal in the 20th minute. Charles Aranguiz scored in the 43rd when the ball landed at his feet after Casillas punched out a free kick. Spain’s second loss, after a 5-1 rout by the Netherlands, ended any

hope of advancing. Chile and the Netherlands will both advance, regardless of who wins the game between them. Spain won the European Championship in 2008 and 2012, in addition to the 2010 World Cup. Spain came to Brazil with a very similar — but older — team than the one that won those titles. They added Brazilian-born striker Diego Costa, but he failed to score a goal. Their “tiki-taka’’ style of play — keeping the ball for long stretches with short passes and only shooting when you had a clear opening — had not been working as well in recent years. Brazil defeated Spain 3-0 in last summer’s Confederations Cup, a warm-up for the World Cup. Spain became the third straight European defending World Cup

champion to flop in the group stage. France in 2002 and Italy four years ago also failed to advance — or even win a match. Badly needing a win, Spain manager Vicente del Bosque stayed loyal to captain Casillas despite the veteran goalkeeper’s errors against the Dutch. Two pillars of Spain’s title runs, Barcelona pair Xavi Hernandez and Gerard Pique with a combined 194 appearances, were left out. Xabi Alonso probably should have joined them. His agonizing first half typified Spain’s problems and his errors led to both goals. There are three matches on tap today (June 19) in Brazil — Colombia vs. Ivory Coast, 9 a.m.; Uruguay vs. England, noon; and Japan vs. Greece, 3 p.m.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ruled on Wednesday, June 18, that the Washington Redskins’ name is “disparaging of Native Americans’’ and should be stripped of trademark protection — a decision that puts powerful new financial and political pressure on the NFL team to rename itself. By a vote of 2-1, the agency’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board sided with five Native Americans in a dispute that has been working its way through legal channels for more than two decades. The ruling doesn’t directly force the team to abandon the name, but it adds momentum to the campaign at a time of increasing criticism of Redskins owner Dan Snyder from political, religious and sports figures who say it’s time for a change. “If the most basic sense of morality, decency and civility has not yet convinced the Washington team and the NFL to stop using this hateful slur, then hopefully today’s patent ruling will, if only because it imperils the ability of the team’s billionaire owner to keep profiting off the denigration and dehumanization of Native Americans,’’ Oneida Indian representative Ray Halbritter and National Congress of American Indians Executive Director Jackie Pata, two of the leading forces in the campaign to change the name, said in a statement. The Redskins quickly announced they will appeal and the team’s name will continue to have trademark protection while the matter makes its way through the courts — a process that could take years.

VANCOUVER — David Booth has been placed on unconditional waivers by the Vancouver Canucks for the purpose of buying him out. If Booth clears waivers, Vancouver can use a compliance buyout on the 29-year-old forward. Booth had one year left on his contract at a salary of $4.75 million US and a salary-cap hit of $4.25 million. “We wish David all the success in the future and thank him for his contributions with the Canucks,’’ general manager Jim Benning said in a statement. The Detroit native had nine goals and 10 assists in 66 games this past season. Injuries limited him to 12 games in the 2012-2013 campaign. Like other unrestricted free agents, Booth can talk to other teams beginning June 25 and

sign a new deal as of July 1. Buying out Booth is another change for the Canucks, who traded Roberto Luongo and fired general manager Mike Gillis and coach John Tortorella earlier this spring. The team has since hired Trevor Linden as president and Benning as GM. More moves are expected, including the hiring of a new coach. Along with Booth, Ville Leino was also placed on waivers on Tuesday, June 17, as the Buffalo Sabres intend to use a compliance buyout to get out of the final three years of his contract.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.”

100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243

The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

He will be remembered by his loving wife, Maria of 43 years; his children Gino (Gina) Coltellaro, Mary (Jason) Nesci and Lisa Polmans all of Kamloops. Also left to cherish Nonno’s memory are his grandchildren Juliano, Sophie, Stefan, Nathan, Kaleb and Mikaela; his mother-in-law Luisa Guido; his sisters Malfalda (Italy) and Gilda (Emilio), his brother Franco (Dina); brother-in- law Peter (Lucy), as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Armando was predeceased by his father Felice and mother Maria, brother Giovanni, Rosario, Domenico, sisters Tomasina and Francesca and his fatherin-law Guerino Guido.

Marguerita McDougall died on June 12, 2014. She was born October 18, 1927 in Cranbrook, BC and grew up in Vancouver. She graduated from St. Paul’s Hospital Nursing in 1950 with the TB Nursing Award. She met her husband and soul mate of 62 years, Alex, in the St. Paul’s Hospital ER in Vancouver while she was nursing and he was a medical intern. She served as a flying RN for Canadian Pacific Airlines to the orient during the Korean War. She and Alex married in September 1952 and practised medicine together in Williams Lake before moving to Kamloops in 1953. After raising her two daughters, she returned to nursing, establishing the Occupational Health Nurse service for Cariboo College (now TRU) and maintaining this service from 1975 to 1982.

Jo-Anne enjoyed a full life. Born in Waterloo, Ontario and raised in Lindsay, Ontario, Jo came west to Jasper in 1977. Jo was immediately taken with the mountains and the wide open spaces, revelling in hiking, cross-country skiing, and wildlife. Jo reunited with her high school sweetheart Vaughan, and moved to the Bulkley Valley in 1980, first in Topley, then Smithers, and finally making Telkwa home from 1987 to 2007. Raising three boys in the Valley was the most rewarding of her many accomplishments. Jo-Anne loved people and helping others came naturally. She was devoted to her work with Welcome Wagon, Young Moms, Smithers Community Services, and Positive Living Northwest. She loved her clients and was a keen advocate for those in need. She made a difference in many lives, leaving her mark on the community and in many hearts. Jo was a doula, again being with young moms. She was blessed to be present at her granddaughter’s birth. Jo loved history. She was active with the Telkwa Museum Society. She was known as “the Antique Lady” as owner and operator of Aldermere Antiques in Telkwa from 1998 to 2006 with Vaughan. Their move to Kamloops in 2007 brought many new experiences and many new friends. Jo worked at Canada Post and White Buffalo Aboriginal Health. Telkwa will always be ‘home’ for Jo. Her physical remains will be interred in Telkwa Cemetery alongside son Wesley and father Jack. Jo is survived by her husband Vaughan; sons Jesse, Lee and Wesley (predeceased); granddaughter Autumn; mother Edna Phair, brothers John, Jim, and Doug; sisters-in-law Leslie deGraaf and Mamie Phair; nieces Brittany, Robin, Elizabeth, and Hannah; nephews Aaron, Kameron, Matthew, and Julian; as well as aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends and “chosen family”. We will share a celebration of Jo’s life, starting at 2:00 pm on June 21 at the Telkwa Hall, Telkwa, BC.

Armando was born on June 10, 1943 in Martirano, Catanzaro, Italy. In 1965 he immigrated to Canada, Kamloops. His passion for life was tending to his garden and his wine making. But most of all it was his grandchildren whom he was very proud of. You are forever in our hearts and will always be with us! The Reverend Father Peter Nguyen will celebrate the Funeral Mass on Saturday, June 21, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church. A private family Entombment will follow at Sage Valley Mausoleum. Thank you to the nurses on 4 North, especially nurse Tanya. Also a big thank you to the staff and volunteers at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home for the wonderful care they provided.

Jo is sorely missed, and will be loved forever.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Hospice Association, 72 Whiteshield Crescent S., Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9 in memory of Armando would be appreciated.

Thank you to Dr. Jennifer Thomas and the special ladies at our Kamloops Hospice.

TREVOR STOCKS September 5, 1942 – June 15, 2014 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Trevor Stocks, after a lengthy battle with lung cancer. Trevor was born in Darlington, England on September 5, 1942. He immigrated to Canada with his parents, Donald and Nora Stocks, in October, 1947. He attended school in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, and then he joined the Royal Canadian Navy. After Trevor left the Navy he worked with his parents at the Brocklehurst Town and Country Store, then he was employed as a Store Manager for SuperValu. During this time he established and managed the Kamloops Sea Cadet Corps. He was very proud of his “Troop”. Trevor managed several stores in various parts of BC and Alberta, and then he settled in Nelson for 25 years with his wife, Teri. He worked for SuperValu, Cominco, operated his own farm and then became an owner/manager of the Lord Nelson Hotel. Then he moved to Mara where he and his wife owned and operated the Mara Foodliner for 12 years. After Trevor became ill, they retired and moved to Lake Country, near Kelowna, BC. Trevor was predeceased by his two younger brothers, Terrance and Donald Stocks of Kamloops in 2003. Trevor is survived by his wife, Theresa; his parents, Donald and Nora Stocks (Kamloops), his sisters: Gloria Humphrey (Kamloops); Susan (Brian) Gilowski (Vernon); and Donna Stocks (Joe Szigeti) of Kamloops. Trevor also leaves his children: Jim (Bonnie) Stocks of Whitecourt, Alberta; Nicole (Kevin) Luterbach of Parksville; Russell (Lori) Stocks of Nelson, BC. He also leaves eight grandchildren: Bryan Moore, Tamara Stocks; Kyle & Alicia Luterbach; Austin & Brady Stocks. Trevor was fortunate to live long enough to see his two great-grandsons, Trevor Stocks and Sam Moore. Trevor leaves many nieces and nephews that he cherished and watched grow into young adults. Trevor spent many wonderful times with his family members travelling and camping. He often spoke of his good times sitting around the campfire with Pat and Joe of Quesnel; and his many laughs with Bonnie, Cindy and Harold. Trevor had many close friends and associates whom he also leaves to mourn him. Among them are Koji Kobayashi of Kamloops, Murray Hoeman of Peachland, and Ken and Gerry Soetart of Kelowna. A service will be held on Friday, June 20 at 2pm in Kelowna at the First Memorial Funeral Home - 1211 Sutherland Avenue. People may make a donation to the Canadian Breast Cancer Society or the BC Lung Association in Trevor’s name, if they so desire. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com, click on stories and type in Trevor Stocks.

I feel a warmth around me like your presence is so near, And I close my eyes to visualize your face when you were here, I endure the times we spent together and they are locked inside my heart, For as long as I have those memories we will never be apart, Even though we cannot speak anymore my voice is always there, Because every night before I sleep I have you in my prayer.

DOROTHEA CHARLOTTE ULRICH (nee Dureé)

IN LOVING MEMORY

1918 ~ 2014

As a young child, Doreen moved from England to Duncan, BC and lived next door to John Dunning’s family. She proposed to John at age four, and they married in 1942. They were blessed with celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary on July 25th 2012. A lifetime of happy years and treasured memories. Doreen’s family valued education, and she was proud of her academic record in Grade school and university. Frustrated in her primary role as homemaker, she sought a creative outlet through writing poetry and getting published. She also brushed up on her French, with the idea of becoming bilingual. Mum’s greatest joy was creating and tending her beautiful gardens, wherever she lived. In fact, she remained in her own home until the end primarily because she wanted to look out on her Westsyde garden and keep her deck plants thriving. She was a dedicated, loving wife and mother and a kind and patient grandmother. Friends have remarked on Mum’s bright wit, interest and knowledge of current affairs, love of literature and caring nature. For many years, she enjoyed fishing with Dad in Cowichan Bay, boating in the Gulf Islands and travelling around the province in their motorhome. She will be missed, but always fondly remembered, by her family and special friends, Bonnie Jesten, Lan Phung and Heather Murdoch.

Pennies From Heaven I found a penny today Just lying on the ground But it’s not just a penny this little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down Oh, how I loved that story . He said when an angel misses you They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny when you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angels tossed to you.

The Kamloops Child Development Centre is an early-learning centre providing inclusive, educational child care in context of family and community. Its programming is tailored for infants and toddlers, and preschoolers as well as for after-school care. It has a robust summer program with options for early admission given potential for school-year changes related to the teachers’ job action. Call the centre for details. Fun, safety and stimulation are the themes. It’s fun to be outside in the fresh air and playing with friends. It is time for swimming lessons, helmet safety and picnics in the park. It is time for art projects, museum visits and walks for ice cream. It is time to marvel at the natural world of bird nests, tadpoles and marmots on urban nature walks. It is time for field trips to the B.C. Wildlife Park, to

Kenna Cartwright Park and to Sun Peaks. It is also time to look and listen for cars and be careful not to get sunburned. Everything I need to know, I learned in my preschool years. I learned to share my toys, be kind to people, look both ways and eat my vegetables. I learned that friends make the world go ‘round

SCHOOLS OUT! TIME TO ZIPLINE!

and that, in order to have friends, I need to be a friend. I learned naps are good. These are all sensible pearls of wisdom for life. The main lens of the Kamloops Child Development Centre programming is focused on the natural world and the human world view — on the linkages between the environmental realities of our planet and how we learn to behave

as humans. Programming is designed to set the stage for growing healthy people. Healthy people participate in community affairs, things like contributing to the causes that make a difference. One such opportunity to contribute is through a program arranged by General Grant’s Bottle Depot outlets through an account it has created for the Kamloops Child Development Centre, in which you can dedicate the refunds from your bottles and cans to the centre’s account. This is a community opportunity to affordably contribute to the care and education of the children at the centre. The management and staff at General Grant’s earn kudos with this demonstration of their community spirit. Drivers, please know that school is out, so please slow down and watch for children at play.

About ALS

Justin, Colleen and Nolan Smailes prepare for the Kamloops Walk for ALS at Riverside Park on Saturday, June 25. For more information, go online to walkforals.ca or email kamloopswalk@alsbc.ca

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

ENT SIMMONDS remembers the day his work buddy-turned-close friend was expected to die. Clayton Smailes was in the city’s hospice, a place he had been for several weeks after being diagnosed in 2003 with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, or simply ALS. Clayton’s wife, Colleen, had told Simmonds her husband’s condition had worsened. “So, I was crying and I sat down and I just laid it all out to him, what he meant, everything,” Simmonds said. “I just wanted to tell him so much. I came back later and he’s in the bed and I started to get all emotional and he typed out on his computer, ‘Don’t start that shit again. I was just having a bad morning.’” For Simmonds, that epitomizes the man he knew first as just another cameraman at CFJC-TV but later, after the diagnosis, he knew as a man who had welcomed Simmonds into his massive

A WALK FOR CLAYTON

extended family. He’ll be thinking of Clayton on the weekend — although he said he does that every single day since his friend’s death in 2009 — as the Kamloops Walk for ALS heads out from Riverside Park on Saturday, June 25, which is also Clayton’s birthday. Colleen said the walk is emotional for her. “But, it’s also very inspiring. It brings everybody together. It really is comforting, too, as much as it is emotional.” Clayton was determined to have a fundraising walk in the River City, Simmonds said. They went to the walk held in Kelowna in the last few years of his life and Clayton wanted to do something to add to the coffers that had been dipped into by the society to provide him with everything he needed to continue to live even as the disease stripped away his ability to talk, to swallow, to eat — most every bodily

function except to think. “Clayton was determined to raise awareness about ALS and, as well, to help find a cure,” Colleen said. “Our family and friends were incredibly supportive.” They continue to be, Simmonds said, and many of them sport a twoguns tattoo — as he does on his left forearm — that honours one of the nicknames Clayton sported. Simmonds said the explanation is long and involves a joke, but the upshot is there will be several people on Team Two Gun at the walk on Saturday with two guns somewhere on their body. Clayton’s other nickname was Magnet, something that reflected how he simply drew people to him. Having the computer “gave him his voice back,” Simmonds said, allowing Clayton to continue to “live, even though he was dying.” It was integral when, knowing

the end was coming, the two of them started work on a video to be shown at his funeral. “He was the brains and I was his hands,” Kent said, as they created what eventually became an hour-long video that didn’t leave a single dry eye in the 500-plus crowd that attended Clayton’s funeral. It also gave him a chance to keep his sense of humour alive, Kent said. “I’d go there at 10 a.m. and still be there at 1 a.m.,” he said, “because they’d have to use the feeding tube and give him morphine for the pain and give him breaks — but he never lost his sense of humour. “He could program his computer to make different sounds and, when I’d fall asleep in the chair, he’d have the computer make a rooster crow to wake me up. “I learned a lot from Clayton. I learned about friendship and love and not giving up.” There is no registration fee for the walk and all money raised will go toward patient-services for people with ALS in B.C. and the Yukon as well as to funding research into finding a cure for the disease.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease or ALS — kills two or three Canadians every day, according to statistics with the Canadian agency that provides support and fund research into it. It’s a fatal disease that causes motor neurons in the brain and spinal chord to degenerate. Eventually, those with ALS cannot berate or swallow. Eighty per cent of those with it die within two to five years of diagnosis. Another 10 per cent can live for a decade or longer. The World Health Organization has determined neurodegenerative diseases like ALS — along with Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s and Parkinson’s diseases — will surpassed cancer as the secondleading cause of death within the next three decades. There is no cure or effective treatment but, in the past decade, the number of research projects devoted to finding treatment or a cure have grown to include studying neuroinflammation, the potential of stem cells, identifying diagnostic genetic markers or new genes and trying to find biomarkers that can speed up the length of time between first symptoms and a formal diagnosis, something that can take up to 18 months.

Canadian country artist Chad Brownlee recently released his album, The Fighters, and he will be performing live at Harper’s Trail on Saturday, June 28.

East Shuswap Road will be lined with tents for the dining portion of the evening, while Brownlee will perform inside the barn. “We really wanted to do something that would work for the community and we wanted to stay com-

munity focused,” Verity said. She hopes the fundraiser will pull in $25,000. To help, Brownlee is performing at a reduced price, the winery has donated the venue and Terra is charging to cover the cost for food.

“We’re a non-profit, so we just ask and we really hope,” she said. “It’s really heartwarming, no pun intended.” The South Thompson Inn and Conference Centre is also providing a limited amount of rooms at a

ISA VERITY looked for inspiration from the Okangan for a new fundraising idea. Verity, events coordinator for the local Heart and Stroke Foundation, said the organization drew inspiration from a winebased concert series when it partnered with Harper’s Trail winery for the first time for an outdoor wine and dine event. Chad Brownlee, a Canadian country artist native to Kelowna was even chosen to perform live. The event — dubbed Wine Down with Chad Brownlee and held on Saturday, June 28 — will be intimate, said Verity, with just 300 tickets available. “We wanted to do something different, something that would be a good fit for Kamloops,” she said. Brownlee is known for songs like Smoke in the Rain and Listen. He released his newest album on June 3, entitled The Fighters. He will bring his lead guitarist, Mitch Merrett. Brownlee and Merrett will perform an acoustic show, Terra Restaurant will cater the event — with southwest-style food — and Harper’s Trail will provide wine tastings. The property on

A Royal Affair for RIH The annual Royal Affair was held on the weekend. The Royal Inland Hospital Foundation fundraiser is one of the biggest parties of the year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in part because of the mystery that surrounds it. Those attending the gala do not know the details of the event until right before it is held. Since 1983, the RIH Foundation has been raising funds for patient-care equipment, bursaries for students studying health sciences and other programs to help RIH and regional facilities provide patients with the best care possible. The Foundation seeks funding relationships to keep the hospital up-to-date, thereby enabling the hospital to meet the demands of an increasing population and offer patients the most up-to-date care. Proceeds from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Royal Affair will help the Foundation equip a new operating-room theatre, which will allow RIH to perform an additional 800 surgeries per year.

Blue scarves were evident in Kamloops when over 200 women recently gathered for the annual provincial convention of the Catholic Women’s League of Canada (CWL). President Doreen Gowans proudly welcomed members and hierarchy from six dioceses to her hometown. Attendees were spiritually enriched with daily liturgies, inspired by presentations and encouraged to continue their sterling work for God and Canada. Keynote speaker Sister Eva Solomon explained how relationships can be strengthened between CWL and First Nations’ groups. Her presentation included an interpretation of Gelineau Fisher’s painting of Anishinaabe Jesus entitled Come Dance with Me. She also brought a first-class relic of Kateri Tekakwitha, a First Nations saint, which was reverenced after the closing liturgical celebration. Other presenters included Father Dale Normandeau of Vernon, who gave erudite spiritual direction. Students from Our Lady of Perpetual Help School and St. Ann’s Academy gave valuable input into one session on anti-bullying. Executive members joined composer Carol Vanderbyl in a wellreceived première of her song celebrating the gifts of the League. Three resolutions were passed. The first seeks to redress the lack of consistent regulations across Canada for assisted human-reproductive technologies. The second requests a ban on the addition of monosodium glutamate to processed foods. The third resolution, asking for fully subsidized basic dental care for low-income citizens, will be presented in Victoria next spring. A letter was sent to the benchers of the

FAITH

Real freedom is finding our deepest identity On today’s Faith page, we present a jointly written column, wholly in the words of Thompson Rivers University graduate Lisa Coriale, with transcribing help from David Fields, pastor of young adults and worship at Summit Drive Church.

N THE Importance of Being Ernest Oscar Wilde famously writes: “Be yourself; everyone else is taken.” Of course, this quote raises the question for each of us: Who am I? And how do I “be” who I am? Ever wrestled with that question? Me too. My name is Lisa Coriale and I am a recent graduate from Thompson Rivers University. I have a bachelor of social work and a bachelor of journalism, with a certificate in aboriginal studies. It is probably important you know that, as I sit in Zack’s coffee shop

LISA CORIALE You Gotta Have FAITH

DAVID FIELDS You Gotta Have FAITH

on a Monday afternoon, I am not the one typing this article. My friend David Fields is at the keyboard — the reason being I have quadriplegic cerebral palsy. I was born with this condition that has not affected my intellectual abilities, but has caused my muscles to be severely contracted. This means I am reliant on other people to help me with the activities of daily living. I use a wheelchair for mobility and, even as we talk about the ideas for this article with Dave and my assistant Brittney, I struggle to communicate what I want to say

— and the sound of the coffee machines over top of us does not help. It can be a frustrating experience to have many ideas and struggle to be understood. So who am I, really? Like everyone, I have struggled with the big questions of identity. At times, I feel like I have to be two people. On the one hand, I am restricted by my physical limitations and I feel tempted sometimes to let myself be defined by these. On the other hand, I have worked hard to achieve my academic goals and can be tempted to find my identity in what I have accomplished.

The truth is, I just want people to know me as Lisa and not be defined either by my limitations or my achievements. You might know the story of David and Goliath, but you might not be aware of the story that comes right before it. God’s prophet, Samuel, is asked by God to anoint a new king. He is sent to Jesse’s household. Samuel sees Elias and thinks to himself, “Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here before the Lord.” After all, he looks like a king! Big. Healthy. That is Samuel’s measuring stick for a kingly candidate. But, look at what the Lord says in reply: “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected

him [as king]. “The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7). What a great line: “People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” That is good news to me. It is true, is it not? As humans, we have a tendency to evaluate ourselves and others based on a number of “outward” factors. These could be physical appearances or abilities, financial status, academic achievements (or failures), what we drive, what neighborhood we live in and many more. The problem with basing our identity either on what we have or on what we have achieved is that we

could feel superior to those who have less, who have achieved less or who are different from us. On the other hand, we could feel inferior to those who have more or who have accomplished more. What if we could be free of the need to search for our sense of significance based on outward factors? What if we could get off the treadmill that comes from tying our sense of value and significance to our achievements? How can we be free to be the unique person God made us to be, without fear, insecurity or the need to feel superior to others? Here is how: This freedom comes from trusting in God’s indescribably great love for us. When we trust in that, we can let go of

the need to compare ourselves to others as a way to feel we have worth. We already know we are lovely because our Creator makes us lovely. We can be happy to simply be who God made us to be and, from that place, let his love for us be our primary source of identity. But, how do we know God really loves us? Here is what the Apostle Paul writes: “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Now, when we root our deepest identity in his love for us, we find a real freedom — freedom to stop competing with others to feel we are worthy and, instead, the freedom to serve others with love and humility.

E HAVE paradise to ourselves — three pools snugging into the hill. The lowest, edging the banks of the Lussier River, is luring us to try its frigid temperatures, but it’s too cold. At 44 C, the top pool is just a tad too hot. In true Goldilocks style, I step into the middle pool and proclaim it just right. While eagles overhead check the river for different delights, I’m in Nirvana, wrapped in the springs’ soothing mineral waters. How can anything so pleasurable be good for you? Nevertheless, the Kootenay Rockies’ hot springs are known for their therapeutic benefits. The mineral content of the waters are widely believed to increase metabolism, accelerate healing, soothe muscles,

improve blood circulation and detoxify the body’s lymphatic system — not to mention what they do for the soul. On Day 3 of our eight-day circular hotsprings tour, my partner. David, and I are already humming. For the past two days, we’ve been making tracks in our Pleasure Way RV toward the start of the tour in Cranbrook, delighted to soon cross off one more dream on our bucket list — renting a small RV and driving the hot-springs route, camping in comfort as we go. This undeveloped hot springs in Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park is the first to be savoured. After picking up our RV at Canadream in Delta, we made tracks for Osoyoos and Nk’Mip Campground. Day 2 led us to Cranbrook and nearby Moyie Lake Provincial Park. Now, on Day 3, with swimsuits donned,

we’ve quickly covered the 225 kilometres to Lussier. We rise reluctantly from the waters, but knowing Fairmont Hot Springs is just a half-hour away provides incentive. We ogle the crumbling hoodoos rearing precariously up over the highway en route before rolling into the community of Fairmont Hot Springs and then into Fairmont’s highly rated RV park. The views of the Purcell Mountains are

awesome, the facilities great, the expansive pools a short walk away — and there are many activities to engage in before and after soaking. We tug on our stilldamp suits and tumble blissfully into yet another indulgence that’s good for us, already excited about next morning’s kayak trip. After all, the next port of soak, Radium Hot Springs, is only 37 kilometres away. Day 4 and we meet up with our kayaking guides to bounce down

the Columbia River, splashing and bucking our way through rapids, spotting eagles, ospreys, and woodpeckers and getting crimped necks from staring up at the Rockies. The cure for stiffness is a long soak at Radium Hot Springs, of course, and we’re soon doing exactly that in 39 C mineral waters. The road to Radium Hot Springs slices through a dramatic cleft in the canyon walls and, if that doesn’t impress

you, the mountain goats who seem to own the road just may. High in sulphates, calcium and bicarbonates, these springs are located in Kootenay National Park, as is our Redstreak Campground. Sprawled on a sunny plateau almost overlooking Radium, the large forest campground offers all amenities and throws in campfires with a permit. After a quiet night, we awaken to the aroma of wood smoke and the promise on Day 5 of two more hot springs. Today, we climb up Rogers Pass, rub up against more Rockies and shortly after Revelstoke enjoy a free ferry cruise over Upper Arrow Lakes, soon to be greeted on the other side by well-named Halcyon Hot Springs. Spotlessly clean and beautifully located over the lake, abutted by the Monashee Range, Halcyon offers three pools on two levels. After another idyl-

lic soak, we carry on a further 35 kilometres to Nakusp Hot Springs, at the end of a winding mountain road. There, surrounded by oldgrowth forest, we luxuriate in its 200,000 litres of fresh, filtered water entering each pool daily and drinking in the pure mountain air. Day 6 and 150 kilometres later, we’re in Ainsworth in Kootenay Lake, reluctantly about to have the final soak in the last of our six-pack. Intrigued by tales of the magical caves here we splash there first. It’s 44 C in this steamy grotto, so we soon start dissolving. Time now to try the cooler pool before rinsing our suits and turning our thoughts to Osoyoos once again. Tomorrow we’ll be savouring a final treat — dinner at Nk’mip’s Mica restaurant and raising our glasses of their Riesling to celebrate a great road trip.

Highlander style moves from bland to bold By Neil Moore

METROLAND MEDIA Wheels.ca

OOGLE the word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nondescript.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The search engine may not pull up all previousgenerations of the Toyota Highlander, but it probably should. I passed an older model on the way to picking up my 2014 tester. This mid-size SUV was, and still is, a

capable family hauler, but with its meek lines and timid proportions, would be hard to spot in a busy parking lot. Until now, Highlanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s badging has been about the only clue to its identity. But todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Toyota lineup has been steadily moving the styling needle from bland to somewhat bold. I say somewhat because it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay to alienate the automakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core demographic.

Now joining this company-wide makeover is the all-new 2014 Highlander. It wears a more angular look than its predecessor, one that is decidedly more masculine, with its bold trapezoidal grille fronting a lower, wider and longer body with chiseled fenders and sculpted door panels and rolling on optional 19-inch alloys. The Highlander can be had in both conven-

tional gas-powered and hybrid models, with the former starting at $31,680 for the frontdrive LE and topping out at $45,100 for the all-wheel-drive Limited model. My Hybrid tester, as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect, starts higher up the pricing ladder. The base LE begins at $43,720 and the Limited, as tested, is priced at $52,695. All models get AWD.

Equipment list leaves little technology behind X From B11

Each Highlander Hybrid also benefits from a lengthy content list that includes a six-speaker audio system with a 6.1-inch touchscreen, three-zone climate control, heated front captain’s chairs with eight-way power for the driver, a backup camera, smart key and push-button start, steering wheel audio and voice recognition, automatic headlamps, power liftgate and 18-inch aluminum wheels. The standard second and third rows are 60/40 split bench. Both recline and the second row has plenty of fore/aft travel to make life easier for those in back. While there’s ample room for large adults in the middle row, the back bench is tight for both head and legs — best left for the kids. My tester for the week was the top-trim Limited, which gets fold-flat captain’s chairs with collapsible tray (with cupholders) in the second row. There’s a tradeoff, however, as it only carries seven, while other models manage eight, but it does provide seat heating in the second row, along with perforated leather upholstery. Occupants up front also get seat cooling, with eight-way power adjust and memory for the driver. Overall, the interior benefits from plenty of soft touch, thickly padded armrests, attractive simulated-wood trim on the doors and dash and a nice combination of materials, tones and textures that wouldn’t be out of place in a Lexus. This includes an equipment list that leaves out little in terms of technology and creature comforts: 12-speaker JBL audio system, eight-inch touchscreen, navigation, heated steering wheel, rear door sunshades, panoramic moonroof and 19-inch alloys. And, there’s a load of driver aids like radar cruise control, lane departure alert, blindspot monitor with cross

traffic alert and a precollision system. Under the hood is a 3.5-litre Atkinson Cycle V6 paired with a high torque electric motor and battery pack. These work together to deliver 280 net system horsepower, which is 10 more than the conventional model. Torque for the gas burner is 248 lb./ft., but isn’t published for the hybrid. It’s worth mentioning, however, that electric motors deliver instantaneous torque, so when you stomp the pedal there’s no lag. Acceleration is robust when needed. But those willing to spend the big bucks for a hybrid aren’t as likely as me to sacrifice its fuel economy for a fleeting bit of tomfoolery — at least not too often. That being said, its 6.8/ 7.2/ 7.0 L./100 k.m. (city/hwy/combined) NRCan rating is a bit optimistic. My actual was 9.3 L/100 k.m. combined, which is still impressive for such a large and heavy vehicle — especially when driven without much heed to being green. Also contributing to the hybrid’s fuelsipping ways is an electronically controlled CVT and intelligent allwheel-drive system that operates in front-drive mode until the added traction from its rear wheels is needed. Towing capacity for the Hybrid, at 1,587 kg (3,500 lbs.), is bested by its gas-powered sibling (2,268 k.g./5,000 lbs.). And, with only eight inches of ground clearance, it’s certainly no off-roader. But prospective buyers aren’t likely to take the Highlander far from the asphalt and it’s still more than capable on rough gravel and rutted cottage roads. Cargo capacity is competitive in the new model, with more space behind the third row than before (385 litres vs 290). That’s enough for a load of groceries, but with today’s smaller families, most will leave the back bench folded

Either way, the new Highlander is a big step up from its predecessor. Which was still pretty good, although its bland personality made it seem like the vehicle you settled for when its more dynamic sibling, the 4Runner, was beyond your budget. That has all changed for 2014 — with its larger proportions and more aggressive styling, not to mention upgraded interior, Highlander no longer has to play second fiddle.

flat for a more usable 1,189 litres of space. If you’re hauling furniture or appliances, drop the middle row for 2,339 litres. I recently drove the gas-powered Highlander as well, and found the overall experience comparable — except at the gas pump. My average of 12.6 L./ 100 k.m. combined city/hwy driving was typical for this kind of vehicle, but nonetheless created more pain when topping up the tank.

GoPro cameras in BMWs this July

The BMW Group Technology Office and GoPro have announced the first-ever mass-produced integration of a GoPro camera with an automobile’s on board infotainment system. In BMW Group vehicles equipped with the BMW Apps or MINI Connected option, a GoPro camera may now be configured and controlled using BMW’s state-of-the-art iDrive controller and high-resolution screen. Starting in July, the integration will be functional on all model year 2012 and later BMW Group vehicles equipped with the BMW Apps or MINI Connected option, when used with a Wi-Fi-equipped GoPro camera. The updated GoPro App is now available for free in the iTunes Store. This groundbreaking integration is designed specifically to reduce driver distraction and enhance the capabilities for which BMW and GoPro, are famous. In addition to aiming the camera using BMW’s large central screen, users may quickly choose between six pre-set camera modes: Leisure drive facing out, night driving, sport drive facing out, drive camera facing in, winding road timelapse and straight road time-lapse. The camera’s record function may be started and stopped by the driver at will and vital camera status indicators are displayed, including recording elapsed time, battery life and Wi-Fi signal strength. The user may also toggle the camera’s sleep mode to prolong battery life between shots.

GM will recall Chevy Camaros

General Motors is recalling all current-generation Chevrolet Camaros. The reason behind the recall is the driver’s knee can bump the key FOB and cause the key to inadvertently move out of the run position, with

a corresponding reduction or loss of power. The issue, which may primarily affect drivers sitting close to the steering column, was discovered by GM during internal testing following the ignition switch

recall earlier this year. The Camaro ignition system is unrelated to the ignition system used in Chevrolet Cobalts and other small cars included in the ignition-switch recall. The company will change

the Camaro key to a standard design from one in which the key is concealed in the FOB and is opened by pushing a button. There are 511,528 20102014 model years in total being recalled.

Mini meets technology

HE MINI HAS NEVER EXACTLY been camera-shy. Now, the current models of the British premium can be featured on film in an even more exciting way — thanks to Mini Connected. A new Mini Connected ready App enables GoPro cameras to be controlled in typical Mini style using the operating system of the model in question. This makes it possible to start shooting videos or take photographs with a GoPro camera mounted on or inside the car while travelling — intuitively, conveniently and safely. Owners of an Apple iPhone can download the new Mini Connected ready App for free of charge from the Apple App store beginning this month. The latest Mini Connected service opens new perspectives for typical Mini motoring fun, providing the ideal way to capture the agile performance qualities of the British models on film. GoPro cameras are specially designed for taking photographs and shooting videos during spectacular sports and leisure activities and are used by racing enthusiasts to document their driving skills in closed-off areas, for example. In future, Mini drivers will be able to concentrate even more closely on the ideal line while having fun on the racetrack. Thanks to the new Mini Connected ready App, the camera functions can be operated via the highresolution color display of the center instrument and the Mini joystick or Mini controller in the centre console, requiring minimum distraction from the track. This makes Mini the first automobile in the world whose operating system can be used to control GoPro cameras. The car has to be fitted with the Mini Visual Boost, the navigation system or the wired package, and it must also have the Mini connected option. The integration of the app in the vehicle operating system is taken care of via the customer’s Apple iPhone, while the signal exchange with the GoPro camera is ensured by means of a WLAN connection. This enables the camera to be controlled wirelessly regardless of whether it is mounted inside or outside of the car.

Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada donates $181,360 for kids’ right to play The lives of more than one-million disadvantaged children in over 20 countries will be transformed with help from Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada, which has donated $181,360 to Right To Play. In the past seven years, Mitsubishi and its 88 Canadian dealerships have raised nearly $2 million for the Toronto-based international organization — a notable feat for Canada’s youngest auto company, underscoring its commitment to helping children around the world to realize their potential. With more than 300

athletes from 40 countries, including Canadian Olympians Clara Hughes, Adam van Koeverden and Kaillie Humphries, Right To Play offers children the opportunity to play and recognize their potential. “Our programs focus on measurably impacting the three most critical areas of child development: The quality of their education, their ability to stay healthy and their potential to help build peaceful communities,” said Evelyne Guindon, Right To Play vice president of international programs. Mitsubishi chose Gatineau, Que., for its

Right To Play is a global organization, using the power of play to educate and empower children facing adversity. More than 600 international staff and 16,400 local volunteer coaches facilitate its programs. Founded by social entrepreneur and four-time Olympic gold medalist Johann Olav Koss, Right To Play is based in Toronto, with fundraising offices in seven countries, along with four regional offices.

CAREERS CAREERS APLENTY IN KAMLOOPS As four-year-old Elianna Dick found out during the recent Clean Air Day festivities downtown, there are myriad careers that keep Kamloops chugging along.

EXPERIENCED FULL-TIME PARTS PERSON IRL International Truck Centres is looking for an experienced full-time Parts Person to work at its Kamloops BC location.

Reporting to the Parts Manager, the Parts Person is responsible for providing commercial and retail customers with consistent and quality customer service.

So, you want a promotion? By Stephanie Clark SPECIAL TO KTW bcjobs.ca

I am going to wear my heart on my sleeve and tell you an embarrassing event in my career. There was a time, long ago, when I seethed with indignation (so hard to admit as this is so not who I am today) that a co-worker received a promotion and I wasn’t even considered. Apparently, the coworker recognized a need for a customer-service liaison and presented a case for the position. Obviously I hadn’t thought of it and simply felt entitled to it because I had earned a degree and she had not. Did I mention how hard it is to admit to this? My only excuse was that I was young and, in retrospect, lacking in wisdom. This leads me to ask: Have you given strategic thought to how you might land that supervisor’s job you know is coming available soon? Or do you glide through life leaving those sorts of things to luck? Many successful people agree that luck follows hard work — and others will tell you that even hard work needs recognition to result in a raise or promotion. So, back to strategy. Here are a few easypeasy get-promoted strategies:

• Schedule a meeting with your boss. Scheduling gives a meeting more importance than a drop-in conversation. Ask for his or her advice on career advancement. Ask for projects, management training and talk about your commitment to the company and its goals. • Read up on your role to find ways to take on and contribute more — and to make sure that your work is tightly connected to corporate goals. Even reading up on non-related information can spur creative ideas on how to get noticed. Also read up on the industry, on competitors, etc., and be prepared to speak up at meetings. • Find people to talk to, preferably the manager of the division in which you’d like to work (also known as networking.) Don’t speak only to your boss. I once asked a boss about how to make sure I’d get a chance to land a position I’d heard was going to be available in the company, only to be told that it’s an unlikely scenario. A few months later, someone else got appointed to that position and I was steamed. Wish I knew then what I know now.) Career advancement requires networking with those in higher positions. Career advancement requires that you promote yourself to the leaders in

your organization. • Invest in yourself. Learning is always a good thing. Source a good community college, company-sponsored or online course in management, public speaking and presentation, business case or report-writing skills – anything related to your goal or to leadership. • Ask questions, dig deep! Find out what, specifically, your company requires of someone in the position that you covet. And be open to building your soft skills, stuff like being open to hearing criticism, welcoming problems because you love to problem-solve, staying on an even keel and available as others over-react or hide, and showing other leadership traits related to emotional intelligence. • Not avoiding the question. Everyone in sales knows the importance of asking for the sale — so ask for the promotion. Certainly do not assume that your boss knows you want it and are ready for it. When you ask, present it as a business case — a well-founded, backed up proposal. • Don’t rest on your performance. Even an internal promotion requires an excellent resume and outstanding interview skills. After all, there may well be another internal

candidate that you are up against and it’s up to you to outsmart, outstrategize, and beat-out all other competitors! Promotions don’t “just happen”; you can bet that the recipient put thought and strategic action into the appointment. It’s not rocket science, but it does require your input.

The primary duties and responsibilities include: • Inform customers of part requirements and specials and ensures that the customer is exposed to the full product line; • Answer phone calls in a timely and appropriate manner to provide the sale, price quotes and other information; • Learn and effectively uses the company business system, and all other online programs required to fulll the duties of a parts person; Sourcing and pricing of parts; • Generating & attaching PO’s to work orders; • Inventory management; • Ordering required parts from manufacturers tracking deliveries; • Counter sales to customers. The ideal candidate will possess the following skills and attributes: Experience working in a retail environment handling retail sales over the counter Will have 2 - 5 years of Heavy Truck or Automotive Parts experience. Professional communication skills: verbal and written Familiarity with Inventory Catalogs and Management Credentials (certicates, licences, memberships, courses, etc.): Partsperson Trade Certication IRL International offers competitive wage packages, an incredible work environment, and career advancement opportunities.
