A Kamloops man with more than two-dozen driving convictions has narrowly avoided a jail sentence after accepting a last-minute plea bargain. “From my perspective, and likely the public’s perspective, this arrangement is almost too good to be true,” said Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley. “You’re just on the cusp of going to jail for a long time.” James Ridge was slated to stand trial in Kamloops provincial court on Friday, July 4. Instead, he pleaded guilty to one count of driving while prohibited. Crown and defence agreed to a sentence of a two-year driving ban and a $1,000 fine. Court heard the 42-year-old was busted by police on Sept. 12, 2013, while parking outside the Chances gambling and entertainment centre in North Kamloops. He was behind the wheel of a pickup truck despite being a prohibited driver. Ridge has a lengthy history of driving offences, including 10 prior convictions for driving while prohibited, eight prior convictions for driving without a licence and seven prior convictions for impaired driving. In addition, he has received nine 24-hour roadside prohibitions. Cleaveley gave Ridge three months to pay his fine and warned him further driving offences will result in jail time.

Steel firm behind ISC closing up shop By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A company with its roots in a firm that constructed many of the city’s largest buildings over three decades will fasten its last bolt next month. M3 Steel & Fabrication Ltd. is completing a handful of contracts and will wind up operations at the end of August. Its assets and buildings in the Mount Paul Industrial Park are listed for sale. Among its projects in Kamloops are Riverside Coliseum (now called Interior Savings Centre), the downtown CP Rail pedestrian bridge, Overlanders Bridge bike path, Lansdowne Shopping Centre and Summit Shopping Centre. The company also did steel fabrication for Prospera Place in Kelowna, at other arenas in

B.C., as well as at mines in Western Canada. Operations manager Vance Smelland said the company — which purchased assets from similarly named M3 Steel (Kamloops) Ltd. in late 2011 — is suffering from a lack of projects. It was reformed by State Group Inc., a large multi-trade contractor based in Toronto that operates across North America. “Locally, there’s commercial work to quote, but there’s more fabricators than steel to fabricate,” Smelland said. “The mining downturn is so huge, there’s nothing that way. Everyone is talking LNG (liquified natural gas), but there’s nothing really going on right now.” About 14 people will lose employment when the company closes. Smelland said they will be able to find work at smaller fabricating companies in the Kamloops area, but noted some may have to move to other

cities for work. The original firm, M3 Steel (Kamloops) Ltd., was started by Ben Mesluk and Wayne Martin in Kamloops. It employed about 40 people working two shifts in its heyday. Mesluk died in 2010. That company remains in both bankruptcy and receivership proceedings. It was officially signed into bankruptcy in April 2013, a process started in 2011 by major creditor Bank of Montreal. Its unsecured creditors are not expected to receive any monies owing. The company is also involved in an outstanding lawsuit with Preferred Steel Construction, which is owed more than $300,000 from subcontract work done on College of New Caledonia in the Central Interior in 2010. Preferred is arguing it should be placed ahead of secured creditors.

Kamloops cat killer to be sentenced this week By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The fate of a Kamloops man the Crown wants jailed for strangling his cat last year will soon be in the hands of a judge. Steven Seidel’s sentencing hearing began on Friday, July 4, in Kamloops provincial court. He will be sentenced on Friday, July 11. Earlier this year, Judge Chris Cleaveley found Seidel guilty of the Criminal Code offence of causing unnecessary pain or suffering to an animal. Seidel faced up to 18 months

in jail and/or a $10,000 fine and could have received a lifetime ban on owning animals. Crown prosecutor Alex Janse has asked for a six-month jail term, to be followed by two years of probation. Defence lawyer Ken Tessovitch, meanwhile, is seeking a conditional discharge — meaning Seidel would not have a criminal record if he could stay out of trouble during a term of probation. At trial, Cleaveley rejected an estimate by Seidel that his unneutered male cat, named Oreo, lost consciousness in less than a minute.

The judge also noted the struggling cat left scratch marks on Seidel’s arms. A veterinary expert testified earlier in the trial that it would take between 60 and 90 seconds for an asphyxiated cat to lose consciousness and four to five minutes for its heart to stop beating. The law allows owners of animals to kill them, regardless of health. But, there are also laws addressing suffering and stress an animal may endure. Seidel admitted to strangling the cat during a March morning in 2013. Both Seidel and his then-

girlfriend Moriah Smith — pregnant at the time — told court they were concerned Oreo could not be house-trained, arguing their unborn baby was in danger because the cat was urinating and defecating in their apartment. A pathogen in cat feces can cause birth defects in humans. Seidel and Smith considered giving the cat to the SPCA, the trial heard, but they were living on income assistance and could not afford the fees to have it euthanized or put up for adoption. Authorities became aware of Oreo’s death when Seidel confessed to Smith on the phone.

Smith then told a friend. Cleaveley ordered a presentence report in part to consider Seidel’s First Nations background. Smith’s first two children are in the care of the Ministry of Children and Family Development, something Cleaveley said warranted the presentence report. During her sentencing submissions, Janse referenced a petition seeking harsh punishment for Seidel. Court heard it has more than 32,000 signatures, but sentencing law does not allow for a judge to consider such material.

LOCAL NEWS TRUCK TRASHED A City of Kamloops garbage truck tipped over on the rounded corner connecting Highland Drive to the driveway of Valleyview Arena on Friday, July 4.

Arrests after alleged attack on Mountie A Chase Mountie was treated for unknown injuries after a traffic stop turned into an assault in Pritchard over the weekend. An officer pulled a vehicle over on Stony Flats Road in Pritchard just before 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 5, for suspicion of

impaired driving. According to RCMP, during the traffic stop, the driver and a passenger began beating the officer. The vehicle took off, leaving the injured Mountie on the road until a passerby stopped to help.

The driver of the suspect vehicle and its two passengers were arrested a short time later. The trio has since been released and is expected to appear in court next month. The injured officer has been released from hospital.

Kamloops man charged with assaulting dog The Crown has charged a Kamloops man with two counts of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal after employees at a McDonald’s restaurant reportedly saw him assaulting his dog. Robert Sedore, born in 1968, faces two charges under the Criminal Code for incidents alleged to have occurred on Feb. 1 and April 23 of this year.

The Crown alleges the assaults were witnessed by employees at an undisclosed McDonald’s restaurant location. The case has not been heard in court and allegations remain unproven. Sedore is scheduled to enter a plea to the charges on Tuesday, July 15.

BARK LENDS BITE TO RESEARCH BY ANDREA KLASSEN • STAFF REPORTER • ANDREA@KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM

When Julie Schooling and her team took away the plastic buckets and unwound the plastic hoses collecting rainwater from the trunks of 40 McArthur Island trees, the Thompson Rivers University graduate student was happy to take her research inside for the final phase of her environmental-sciences thesis. But, after preparing a preliminary report on her research for a conference in November of last year, Schooling realized she needed to go back to the park to gather more data. That meant photographing every branch of each tree and measuring notches in bark with a ribbon and pins — not the most enticing prospect in December. “We’d get through two or three trees and go, ‘Oh my god, I can’t feel my fingers. We have to quit for the day,’” Schooling said. “But, it got done.” For the past two-and-a-half years, Schooling has studied the flow of water down tree trunks when it rains, putting to a test the theory that trees will wick water away from the ground directly below their canopies. That turned out to be true in some cases, but not with the American Beech. The beech — smooth barked with multiple stems rather than a single trunk — was the park’s most prodigious funneller of

water throughout Schooling’s study. During an eight-millimetre rainfall, 100 litres of water ran down its trunk. While most trees were equipped with a single tote to hold the water runoff, the beech sometimes needed two 100-litre containers to hand its flow. On the other end of the spectrum, Schooling said trees with rougher bark and more horizontal branches, like oaks and lindens, tended to be good at intercepting rainwater. Schooling said comparing the beech’s results to other trees in the park was an early indicator she was on to something interesting. “We started going, ‘Wow, there’s a lot of variability out here,’” she said. There are two main factors that play into how much water a tree funnels to the ground, Schooling said: The amount of rain that must fall before water starts running down the tree trunk (threshold) and the amount of stemflow produced once the

threshold is reached. A tree with a high threshold may not funnel any rain into the ground during light rains, but could produce a lot of runoff in a larger storm. Schooling, whose research was produced with support from the City of Kamloops, said both intercepting and funnelling trees have their benefits. The trick is to make sure they match the climate and have the right drainage and soil. “Some of these species virtually water themselves,” she said. “So, there’s this self-irrigation benefit. “If you know which tree and you provide them with soil that will let the water seep in, then you’re reducing your irrigation burden.” Once her thesis is complete and defended, which Schooling is aiming to do this summer, she plans to publish an article with her results aimed at the scientific community and another aimed at sharing her findings with urban foresters and landscapers.

$200,000 bail for accused By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

One of the four men arrested last week at the New Afton mine site after an alleged home invasion in Cherry Creek has been released on $200,000 bail. Tristan Wight was granted bail on a number of strict conditions in Kamloops provincial court on Monday, July 7. The 18-year-old from Richmond is charged with one count each of armed robbery and breaking and entering to steal a firearm. At about 7 a.m. on Thursday, July 3, Kamloops Mounties were alerted to a holdup at a house in Cherry Creek. The suspects ditched their vehicle — a silver Buick — a

short time later at the New Afton site, fleeing on foot. The incident led to the mine shutting down operations for half an hour. Eventually, police arrested Wight, 24-year-old Ellwood Bradbury, 23-year-old Anees Mohammed and 21-year-old Gopal Figueredo, seizing six guns that had been stolen from the Cherry Creek home. All of the men are charged with robbery and break-and-enter, but Bradbury, Mohammed and Figueredo are facing additional counts of possessing a firearm contrary to a court order. After the suspects were arrested, police raided a hotel room in which they had been staying. Inside, they found a woman — Figueredo’s girlfriend — with a firearm.

She is not facing any charges. Wight’s parents are putting up $200,000 from the equity of their Richmond home to secure his release from jail. His bail conditions include terms barring him from leaving his parents’ house without a relative and from possessing any weapons, drugs or alcohol. Wight is also barred from being anywhere east of Hope, except for court appearances or meetings with his lawyer. While on bail, he won’t be allowed to contact any of his co-accused or Jason Sauka, the victim of the home invasion. He’s due back in court on Aug. 7. Bradbury, Mohammed and Figueredo are expected to have bail hearings later this week.

Murder re-trial begins this week in Kamloops Law Courts By Tim Petruk

STAF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The re-trial of a murderer convicted of stabbing his friend 73 times during a drunken altercation began this week in a Kamloops courtroom. Cory Bird, 26, was convicted in 2011 of second-degree murder in the death of Albert Michell, whose rotting body was found by a relative in a Lytton apartment on Aug. 17, 2008. Bird was arrested three days later in Montreal, in connection to an unrelated dine-and-dash incident. After his arrest, he told police he had committed a murder in B.C. as part of a gang initiation. His story changed a

short time later, when he told investigators the stabbing occurred after Michell made unwanted sexual advances. Specifically, Bird, who is bisexual, said he woke up after a night of drinking to find Michell performing oral sex on him and flew into a frenzied state. Bird was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 12 years. Part of the reason Bird was convicted was his bisexuality — the trial judge said he didn’t believe the sexual advances would cause Bird to lose control given his previous experiences with other men. A lawyer representing Bird argued his bisexuality shouldn’t have been an issue,

and that the only issue the judge should have considered was the unwanted sexual advances. A three-judge B.C. Court of Appeal panel ruled last summer that Bird should be re-tried because his conviction was based partly on flawed evidence from an alcohol expert. The re-trial began on Monday, July 7, with a voir dire — a trial within a trial to determine admissibility of evidence, the details of which cannot be reported. In January, jury selection will take place for the remainder of the trial. Bird remains in custody.

OFFENDER IN ‘NO RUSH’ By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops criminal with a lengthy rap sheet wants nothing to do with the remainder of the hearing that will determine whether he is locked up indefinitely. Shane Jeurissen’s dangerousoffender hearing began in February and is slated to end this week. He has more than 100 convictions, including dozens of breaches of court orders. During court proceedings in 2011 for failing to abide by a probation order, Jeurissen’s lawyer said Jeurissen has underlying mental-health and addiction issues. He had a number of angry outbursts in court during the first weeks of his dangerous-offender hearing. The judge ordered he appear by video from Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. However, the outbursts did not stop. Eventually, his lawyer applied successfully to have Jeurissen excluded from the hearing. He appeared in person in court on Monday, July 7, and asked to be excluded from the last week of the hearing — during which lawyers will make their final arguments. “I’d rather just not come,” Jeurissen

said after raising his middle finger to media seated in the courtroom gallery. “I’d rather have nothing to do with it and you just let me know after if I’m DO’d [labelled a dangerous offender] or not.” B.C. Supreme Court Justice Kathleen Ker said it will be best for everyone involved in Jeurissen stays away from the hearing. “You’re waiving your right to be present,” she said. “I will excuse you . . . in order to ensure that the court is able to function efficiently, properly and that the evidence is able to be reviewed as dispassionately as possible.” Ker told Jeurissen he will have to be present in court when she reads her decision, which she said likely won’t happen for about a month. He told her to take two months. “Take your time — I’m in no rush,” he said. “I ain’t going nowhere.” If Ker labels Jeurissen a dangerous offender, he could be jailed indefinitely. In the past, Jeurissen has been convicted of writing intimidating letters to police officers, prosecutors and civilian witnesses while in jail. Lawyers expect to have their submissions finished by the end of the week.

A brief history of treaty talks in British Columbia

FEW WEEKS BEFORE the landmark decision declaring aboriginal title proven by the Tsilhqot’in Nation, I picked up a used university textbook that looked like a handy reference. Geography in British Columbia: People and Landscapes in Transition, by Brett McGillivray (UBC Press, Second Edition) is a good reference, except where it strays from geography into politics. This 2005 edition came out not long before the B.C. Treaty Commission started producing agreements, notably with the Tsawwassen First Nation. It recounts the establishment of the Ministry of Native Affairs by the Bill Vander Zalm government in 1990 and the election the next year of Mike Harcourt’s NDP, who reversed the province’s historical legal position and tried to accept the existence of aboriginal title. At this point, the textbook departs from the facts and leads its freshman pupils into left-wing dogma. McGillivray writes: “When the Liberal Party won the 2001 election (with all but two seats), it launched a province-wide referendum on treaty negotiations, prompting commentators to suggest the government was ‘trying to impose 19th century ideas on a 21st century problem.’” “Commentators” in the above quote is, of course, only one commentator, veteran lefty Vancouver columnist Stephen Hume. This quote was indeed representative of the media consensus at the

TOM FLETCHER Our Man In VICTORIA time. On TV, aboriginal leaders burned their ballots while denouncing the referendum as racist and divisive. The public, and later university students, were taught Gordon Campbell’s government was exploiting racism for political gain. In fact, this referendum was one of a long series of efforts to untangle the legal knot left by the failure of Canada and B.C. to complete historical treaties after 1900. Seven of the eight questions in the 2002 referendum were simply to confirm the existing position of B.C. treaty negotiators. The purpose, then as now, was to settle treaties. The first question asked if private land should be exempt from expropriation for treaty settlements. Privateproperty rights are not so much a 19th-century idea as a 17th-century one, defined in 1690 by John Locke. What remains true today is that no society has made significant social and environmental progress without individual property rights. See the woeful state of most of Canada’s communally owned aboriginal reserves, where individually

owned property isn’t permitted. The Tsilhqot’in dropped claims of property held by non-aboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing people from their homes would lead to violent confrontations. Other referendum questions related to preserving public access to Crown land for hunting, fishing and park use. All were endorsed. The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.” Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial jurisdiction over public forest policy and fire protection on aboriginal title lands. By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leadership from aboriginal communities, the Campbell government tried to cut the knot. Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical “indigenous nations.” That idea originated not with the province, but with the First Nations Leadership Council. It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year. The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land-use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues. The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Some things in life are indeed free Those who claim nothing in life is free probably haven’t been to Sun Peaks Resort during one of its free concert weekends. For those who did take in the inaugural event this weekend, they can attest to the fact world-class music can indeed be enjoyed for absolutely no charge. Sun Peaks’ latest summer of free concerts began with legendary Blue Rodeo serenading thousands who brought their chairs, blankets, food and drink and staked a spot on the bottom of a hill best known for bringing skiers into the resort during the winter. The ambiance of the weekend was nothing short of magical — musical acts sprinkled throughout the resort on all three days, a farmers’ market offering up morning tastes, activities for the kids and a slew of golfers and mountainbikers taking advantage of the summer season at Sun Peaks. Many visitors used the Blue Rodeo concert as the focal point of a mini-vacation that, while just 40 minutes from Kamloops, offers scenery and action that delivers the visitor much further in terms of getting away from it all. From all reports, those who attended drank responsibly, behaved impeccably and proved a relaxed atmosphere can indeed be enjoyed by one and all. Sun Peaks is hosting more free music weekends as summer progresses. If you haven’t driven up, even for a day, do yourself a favour and make plans to take it in. The idea is brilliant — as is its execution.

Spectre of Ajax approval may discourage doctors

Re: Story: Kamloops man avoids jail after 35th driving offence:

“I am sure this guy has now learned his lesson. “What a joke. What does a two-year driving ban matter for this guy? It seems he ignores them all the time. At least the judge could have given him 500 community service hours, as well.” — posted by Drgreen

Editor: Our emergency department at Royal Inland Hospital has found it increasingly difficult to hire qualified ER physicians over the last year. We need to fill positions left open by physicians moving away and retiring from ER work, and we need to fill positions created by the growing workload in Kamloops. One potential recruit who just completed a locum (fill-in) term with us was frank in his discussion of issues making him hesitant to move to Kamloops. Actually, there was only one: The spectre of the KGHM Ajax mine being approved.

I hope the natural beauty of the Kamloops landscape, the friendliness of the population and the endless opportunities for outdoor pursuits that drew me here three years ago will overcome his concerns, but I’m not sure they will. While recruiting resident physicians (trainees) at their graduation dinner in Vancouver, the issue of the mine was brought up as a concern. There are 36 jobs for specialized ER doctors in B.C. in 16 communities, so these newly trained physicians have lots of choice. Kamloops is also short between 15 and 20 family physicians, as well as many speciality physicians, and I worry this potential environmental issue is a

“And the IHA will promptly shut down the new rooms, citing lack of staff and/or money as the reason. “So, my question is, what’s the point?” — posted by Grouchy1

Re: Story: Triple effort to lure tourists to downtown Kamloops:

“Thank goodness. “There is really little to no competition for this store. “There is little in the way of stores selling Kamloops souvenirs anyway and all close by 6 p.m. at the latest, which is when the train pulls in for the night. “This store is going to do well and I’m pretty excited to have it as an addition downtown.” — posted by Twelfthnight

factor in their recruitment. Speaking to our local medical staff, I know if Ajax is approved, retention in the future may become an issue. I realize this concern is only one of many that needs to be considered when the benefits and harms are weighed during the assessment stage. However, I do feel the decisionmakers and our population must know this proposed mine affects other sectors in Kamloops, however secondary that consideration may be when compared to the air quality and health concerns so well outlined previously by doctors Robert Schemenauer and Jill Calder.

Shoulds teachers be picketing through the summer? KTW reader Don Campbell thinks so. KTW file photo

Editor: It is my understanding that, if a person or persons are on strike, they should be picketing at least every work day. They should not be able to leave and go on holidays. This is their responsibility to their jobs. It’s like school is out, the kids have all gone home and the fight is over until September. We haven’t seen a picket line in front of Marion Schilling elementary for at least a week. I remember when General Motors went on strike. They manned picket lines 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until the contract was signed. Do teachers really think half the effort will achieve full marks? Don Campbell Kamloops

Hey, Kamloops dog owners — stay calm and share on! Editor: I am writing this letter to a select group of folks in Kamloops who frequent the lovely dog parks the city has provided, but who bring very poor attitudes. I am new to the Kamloops area. I came here with my partner and my dog. I was pleased to find so many excellent city parks and trail systems — and to find so many accommodate dogs. My partner and I like to use

dog parks to socialize our dog with other dogs. While frequenting parks, we have noticed signage that notes users of the park are cautioned to avoid bringing toys into the park because some dogs don’t share well with others. I thought this was a good idea, since our young pup loves balls, but isn’t yet great at giving them back. Recently, I have found it isn’t dogs that are having the problem sharing,

but their owners. My partner and I have been confronted recently on a few occasions by upset people who are outraged by the fact our 16-month-old puppy had “stolen” their ball. This wasn’t so much of an issue for me until recently, when two grown men had become so frustrated with my pooch that they marched over and challenged me and my partner. After a heated discussion,

which ended in their swearing at us, my partner and I decided we wish the sour people we have met in these parks could be as civil as their dogs. I hope this message serves as a reminder to users of dog parks that these places are for dogs and, if a dog isn’t great at sharing, hopefully owners can rise to the level of man’s best friend and just stay calm and share on.

FROM JAPAN WITH PRAISE FOR KAMLOOPS By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Uji Mayor Tadashi Yamamoto had plenty of praise for Kamloops as his 17-member delegation took a break at their hotel on Thursday, July 3, before flying back to Japan. Politicians and citizens from Kamloops’ sister city spent just over four days in the Tournament Capital, arriving on the evening of June 30 for several packed days of sightseeing and events. Uji sends a delegation to the city on even-numbered years and Kamloopsians make their own pilgrimages across the Pacific in the years in between.

This is Yamamoto’s second trip to Kamloops, though it’s his first as mayor, after being sworn into office in December 2012. The mayor last visited Kamloops 18 years ago, when he was a city councillor. Speaking through an interpreter, Yamamoto said he is impressed with how the city has grown in the years since his last trip and praised the local scenery. “We can’t see such a great view from Uji,” he said. While in Kamloops, the Uji delegation visited Thompson Rivers University, Sun Peaks and the Kamloops Centre for Water Quality — the latter a surprising highlight for the group.

Maritimes cleaning up mess after visit from Arthur CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tens of thousands of people are still without power in the Maritimes this week as the cleanup following post-tropical storm Arthur continues. About 86,000 customers of the utility in New Brunswick were still without electricity late Monday morning (July 7), while Nova Scotia Power said more than 40,000 of its customers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have power, although the utilities were restoring outages in both provinces. All New Brunswick government offices in the Fredericton area were closed due to the cleanup and power outages caused by the storm. The city was among the hardest-hit areas over the weekend. Arthur lost its hurricane status just before hitting the Maritimes, but it still packed a brutal punch, with drenching rain and winds that toppled trees and knocked out power for more than 250,000 customers. NB Power spokesman Meghan Gerrish said more than 200

crews were working to restore power, including teams from Quebec and others headed to New Brunswick from Maine. Gerrish said the utility expected to have the bulk of the 86,000 without power back online by Wednesday night, but roughly 17,000 customers would have to wait until the weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The damage that this post-tropical storm Arthur has left in New Brunswick is phenomenal,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Gerrish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge century-old trees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get your arms around them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; down on our infrastructure and . . . thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a significant amount of work that has to take place to even get to some of these locations.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gerrish said parts of the utilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7,000-kilometres of transmission lines have also been damaged. She said helicopters have been flying over the lines to try to find the damaged spots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working as fast as we can to get everybody back online,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she said. Wayne Tallon, a

spokesman with the City of Fredericton, said it will take weeks to clean up downed trees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been talking to some of our folks that

have been around for 40 years and nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever seen anything this bad,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Tallon. Tallon said about 2,000 trees were dam-

aged during the storm. The city normally takes down about 420 trees a year, he said. A charging station and shower centre was

opened in the city as about 40,000 started their week without electricity. Fredericton was also working to set up generators at intersections to

control traffic lights. Tallon said fire crews responded to more than 300 reports of electrical fires on Saturday, most related to downed trees.

No Superman logo for boy who loved superhero By Allison Jones

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — DC Entertainment is refusing to allow the Superman logo to adorn a memorial statue of a Toronto boy who loved the superhero during his short life before his grandparents starved him to death. A coroner’s inquest last winter into the death of five-year-old Jeffrey Baldwin caught the attention of an Ottawa man, who was moved by Jeffrey’s plight and wanted to pay tribute to the boy. Todd Boyce raised money for a statue of Jeffrey and recruited Ontario artist Ruth Abernethy — known for a Glenn Gould bronze statue on a bench on Front Street in Toronto and a bronze of Oscar Peterson outside the National Arts Centre in Ottawa — to design it. Boyce wanted to see Jeffrey depicted in a Superman costume,

harkening back to inquest testimony from Jeffrey’s father. Before his teenage parents lost custody of Jeffrey to his maternal grandparents, the little boy was very energetic and loved the superhero, Richard Baldwin testified. “He wanted to fly,’’ Baldwin said. “He tried jumping off the chair. We had to make him stop. He dressed up [as Superman] for Halloween one year. He was so excited. I have that picture at home hanging on my wall. He was our little man of steel.’’ But, DC Entertainment — home

to the comic-book superhero — will not grant Boyce permission to use the Superman logo on the statue. “It was important for me because I really felt I wanted to capture the photograph of Jeffrey wearing his Superman costume and have it as close to that as possible,’’ Boyce said. “Basically they didn’t want to have the character of Superman associated with child abuse. They weren’t comfortable with that.’’ Boyce said he was angry and emotional when he first learned of their refusal but, after subsequent conversations with people at the company and their lawyers, he softened his stance. “I realized that the most important thing is to have a fitting monument for Jeffrey, that it’s about him,’’ Boyce said. “To be fair to DC, I don’t think they wanted to say no. I think they

gave it serious thought.’’ DC Entertainment would not comment. Boyce said the design will be changed to have a “J’’ on the chest rather than the “S’’ of the Superman logo. The model of the statue is complete — except for the letter change — and is now waiting for it to be cast in bronze. Boyce is hoping for a September unveiling and dedication. One of Jeffrey’s sisters has chosen a poem to be engraved on a bench that will be part of the memorial, Boyce said. It begins with the line, “I wish heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again.’’ She requested a Hot Wheels car also be incorporated and Boyce said the foundry will bronze a little car and mount it above the poem. Jeffrey wasted away to the weight of a baby, locked in his

cold, urine- and feces-stained bedroom in the Toronto home of his grandmother, his Catholic Children’s Aid Society-approved guardian. He died on Nov. 30, 2002, weeks shy of his sixth birthday. During the coroner’s inquest that concluded earlier this year, Jeffrey’s plight caught the attention of Boyce, a father of four and government IT worker. He raised money for the project online. Jeffrey’s grandparents — who were convicted of second-degree murder in 2006 — had custody of Jeffrey and his three siblings. Two of them were treated relatively well, the inquest heard, but one of his sisters was subjected to the same conditions. The difference between Jeffrey and his sister was that she was allowed to go to school — the daily snack she received there likely saved her life, the inquest heard.

Person of interest has connection to missing trio By Bill Graveland CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — A man identified as a person of interest in the mysterious disappearance of a Calgary child and his grandparents has been described in past court documents as an intelligent, but troubled man. Douglas Garland has been named in local media reports as the man police took into custody on Saturday, July 5, for questioning in the disappearance of five-year-old Nathan O’Brien and his grandparents Alvin and Kathy Liknes. They have been missing since June 29. Police said the man was released on Sunday, July 6, but is still a person of interest in their investigation. However, Garland, 54, remained in custody, charged with identity theft in an unrelated case.

He appeared in court on Monday, July 7, via closed-circuit video and a judge adjourned the matter until a bail hearing on Wednesday, July 9. The balding man was dressed in a blue jumpsuit and told a judge he had not yet hired a lawyer. Nathan’s father, Rod O’Brien, was in court for the appearance. When asked if he knows of a connection between his family and Garland’s, he said, “I do. But I’m not going to comment today.’’ Rod O’Brien appeared with his wife last week in front of cameras, tearfully urging for the return of his “superhero’’ son and the grandparents. The boy had been at his grandparents’ on a sleepover on the night of June 29 after the couple held an estate sale at their Calgary home on the weekend.

They were selling their things as they prepared for a move to Mexico. When his mother went to pick him up the next morning, no one was home. Police have said there is evidence a violent incident occurred in the house, but they still hope to find everyone alive. They have not disclosed a motive. Officers continued searching an acreage and surrounding property near Airdrie, a bedroom community north of Calgary, where Garland

lived with his parents. Court records say Garland served time in prison for making amphetamines at his parents’ farm. A federal tax court ruling from 2005 shows Garland once had a promising future. He went to medical school for a year, but left after having a mental breakdown, said the ruling. It said he was also traumatized after a horrific car crash caused when he fell asleep at the wheel and suffers from attention deficit disorder. The document said

after Mounties raided his parents’ property in 1992, he was released on bail and fled to Vancouver, where it said he assumed the name of a deceased person named Matthew Kemper Hartley. A cemetery website lists a 14-year-old boy with the same name who was buried in southern Alberta in 1980. The court document said Garland had enough science skills to get a job at a laboratory to test pesticides, herbicides and organic compounds. He was eventually promoted

the Canada Revenue Agency went after him for employment insurance benefits it gave him when he left his laboratory job because he had been using a fake name and a fake social insurance number. Garland took the agency to court and, acting as his own lawyer, won his case in 2005. Court records show Garland had no other problems with the law until a few years ago. In January 2010, he received a $575 fine for failing to yield to a pedestrian in Airdrie.

to supervisor but, after four years, suffered another breakdown and was fired from the job in 1997. He later got a parttime job at the British Columbia Institute of Technology, but “the RCMP eventually caught up to Mr. Garland and he was arrested in May 1999.’’ Justice officials say Garland pleaded guilty to two counts of drug trafficking and was sentenced to 39 months. He received an additional one month for possession of stolen property. After he was released,

Venom set for playoffs

ROGER THAT!

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

HE KAMLOOPS VENOM know what it’s like to be overlooked and the junior B lacrosse squad is planning to be ready for the underdog South Okanagan Flames of Penticton. Game 1 of the best-of-five Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League semifinal series gets underway tonight (July 8) at 7:30 p.m. at Memorial Arena. Kamloops entered the 2013 playoffs as the fourth seed and knocked off No. 1 Kelowna. This year, the Venom (14-1-1) finished atop league standings, while the Flames (4-0-12) finished fourth. “We are following the exact same script Kelowna followed last year and I don’t want to experience what they had to go through,” Venom coach Gord Hardman said. “Over half the kids in our dressing room were there last season. “What we have to do is continue to push and make sure our systems all around the floor are really, really good.” The odds of the Flames pulling off an upset are slim. Kamloops has beaten

Monty Chisholm and the Kamloops Venom are hosting the South Okanagan Flames of Penticton in Game 1 of a Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League semifinal series tonight (July 8). Game time is 7:30 p.m. Allen Douglas/KTW

South Okanagan four times this season, with each victory coming by eight or more goals. Kamloops boasts the league’s top three scorers — Brady Jorgensen (66G, 103 points), Riley Peterson (26G, 73 points) and Kyle Pauwels (32G, 64 points). Mitch Horsman of the Venom had the league’s second-best save percentage (.838). The second-seed Vernon Tigers (131-2) and third-seed Armstrong Shamrocks (6-0-10) are squaring off in the other semifinal. All signs point to a Kamloops-Vernon showdown in the

TOJLL final, with the Tigers expected to receive a rougher ride than the Venom in the semifinal round. “They’re [the Tigers] not going to have it easy because that Armstrong is a real gritty team,” Hardman said. “When you finish a game with them, you’ve got guys that are physically pounded.” Kamloops, in its final game of the regular season, tied 7-7 with hometown Vernon on Saturday, July 5. Jorgensen led the way for the Venom, scoring a hat trick, including two shorthanded goals. Peterson potted a

goal and two assists. Pauwels and Monty Chisholm each had a goal and an assist. Blaine Boomer recorded three assists and Haden Hoover tallied once. Horsman made 46 saves. Hardman said Saturday’s tilt was a good tune-up for the post-season. “Our last few games with Vernon have opened our eyes to the challenge,” he said. Game 2 of the Venom’s series with the Flames will be played in Kelowna on Thursday, July 10, with Game 3 set for 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 12, at Memorial.

Roger Sloan of Merritt won the Nova Scotia Open on Sunday, July 6, his first Web.com Tour title. The victory moves him closer to achieving his goal of securing a spot on the PGA Tour. Sloan won the Western Championship at Rivershore Estates and Golf Links in 2011, a nowdefunct stop on PGA Tour Canada. Full story on page A15. Stan Badz/PGA TOUR

Budding star Bouchard misses out on marketing payday By Ethan Lou

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Eugenie Bouchard’s loss to Czech Republic’s Petra Kvitova in the Wimbledon women’s final on Saturday, July 5, may have cost her millions in sponsorship income, according to experts who say the Canadian tennis star would have landed numerous seven-figure deals had she won. “Champions [project] hard work, humility, perseverance, and those are all qualities and attributes other brands like to associate with,’’ said Vijay Setlur, who teaches sports marketing at York University. While the Westmount, Que., native did reach the final— the farthest a Canadian has ever gone at the world’s most prestigious tennis competition — it only showed the 20-year-old has potential, and that is not enough, Setlur said. “Once that potential is realized, then more brands will present offers or partnerships because you’re dealing now with an athlete that’s proven.’’ Cary Kaplan, president and owner of the marketing firm Cosmo Sports, agreed

that Bouchard will need a championship to “catapult’’ her earnings potential, but predicted her future is bright. Milos Raonic of Thornill, Ont., was bounced in by Roger Federer in the men’s semifinal round. Raonic became the first Canadian in more than 100 years to reach the Wimbledon semis. Federer went on to lose to Novak Djokovic in the final. Bouchard’s marketing appeal is not just the result of her run at Wimbledon and goes beyond her performance on the tennis court. “She’s charismatic,’’ he said. “She is very focused. You don’t have the impression that she will wilt away.’’

Bouchard’s current sponsors include Coca-Cola Canada, sportswear giant Nike, French tennis firm Babolat, Rogers Communications and Ontario packaged chicken producer Pinty’s Delicious Foods. While the deals’ financial details are not publicly known, Bouchard is expected to get $1.6-million in prizes for her performance on Saturday. Being a runner-up would also significantly boost her earnings in future contracts, said Richard Powers, a University of Toronto sports marketing professor. Sponsorship contracts usually come with performance bonuses and now that Bouchard has proven herself a serious Grand Slam contender, she will likely be able to command a higher rate, he said. “She has the potential to win and she wants to win, and she’s not content at being runner-up,’’ Powers said. Bouchard has another chance this summer to give her marketability a big boost with the next big event on the tennis calendar, the U.S. Open. “She’s got a great opportunity coming up in August,’’ Powers said. “Watch the hype.’’

HALIFAX — Roger Sloan of Merritt won the Nova Scotia Open on Sunday, July 6, his first Web.com Tour title, draining a fivefoot par putt on the first hole of a playoff with Derek Fathauer. Sloan, 27, a former Texas-El Paso player, played 37 holes Sunday after high wind from Tropical Storm Arthur wiped out third-round play on Saturday, July 5. After the victory, fans celebrated with a spontaneous rendition of O Canada. “I love being a Canadian,” Sloan said. “They just broke out in song. This means so much to win this here. I don’t know which feels better — to win or to be done today. It

was a long day.” Sloan closed with rounds of 71 and 70 to match Fathauer at 11-under, 273, on Ashburn Golf Club’s New Course. Fathauer had rounds of 71 and 66. Sloan earned $117,000 to jump from 80th to 12th on the money list with $149,303, putting him into position to earn a PGA Tour card as a top-25 finisher in the regular season. “That’s just icing on the cake,” Sloan said. Sloan rebounded from a bogey on No. 12 with birdies on Nos. 13 and 14 and closed with four pars. “I had zero awareness of where I stood all day,” Sloan said. “I asked my caddie on 18 where we stood and he told me that up-and-

down would get me in a playoff.” He holed a fourand-a-half footer on the par-4 18th to force the playoff. “That was ticklish putt,” he said. “It went down a cliff.” Fathauer bogeyed Nos. 16 and 18 in regulation, three-putting from 25 feet on the last hole. “I kind of fumbled things coming in,” Fathauer said. Fathauer’s drive on No. 18 in the playoff found the trees to the right, while Sloan split the fairway. Fathauer clipped the trees on his second, leaving him 100 yards away, while Sloan hit to 40 feet. Fathauer missed his par attempt from 30 feet and Sloan holed his par putt for the win. Sloan is the third

Canadian to win a Web.com Tour event in Canada, following Richard Zokol in the 2001 Canadian PGA Championship and David Hearn in the 2004 Alberta Classic. John Mallinger shot 67-73 to finish third at 8 under.

Sloan notes from pgatour.com

• Roger Sloan was born in Calgary and was raised in Merritt. He is a 2009 graduate of the University of Texas-El Paso (finance) and now lives in Houston, Tex., with his wife, Casey. • Sloan’s first career win came in his 32nd career start on the Web. com Tour. Prior to Sunday, Sloan’s best finishes came in backto-back weeks last year – a T7 at the Utah

Championship and a T6 at the Midwest Classic in Kansas City. • Sloan had made seven cuts in 12 starts on tour this year, but his best finish was a T14 at the South Georgia Classic. • Sloan collected a cheque for $117,000 and moved from No. 80 to No. 14 on the money list through 14 of 21 regular-season events. • Sloan becomes the 11th first-time winner on tour in 14 events. • Sloan’s win comes at the age of 27 years, one month and 21 days. • Sloan was a member of PGA Tour Canada from 2010 to 2012 and collected his lone win at The Western Championship in Kamloops in 2011.

Clash of soccer giants in World Cup semifinal In a rematch of the 2002 World Cup final, perennial soccer powerhouses Germany and host Brazil square off today (July 8) in a semifinal showdown. Game time is 1 p.m. Brazil won the 2002 encounter 2-0, with both goals coming from its best player, Ronaldo.

The host nation will be without its best player today as Neymar suffered a broken vertebra in Brazil’s 2-1 victory over Colombia in the quarterfinal round on Friday, July 4. Neymar leads Brazil with four goals in the tournament. Brazil will also be without its captain, defender Thiago

Silva, who will miss the game due to racking up two yellow cards. Germany qualified for the semifinal with a 1-0 victory over France on Saturday, July 5. The Germans are relatively healthy in comparison with their opposition, missing only

defender Shkodran Mustafi, who’s out of the World Cup with a torn muscle in his thigh. Thomas Mueller leads all Germans with four goals. In the other semifinal, the Netherlands will meet Argentina on Wednesday, July 9. Game time is 1 p.m.

Trying his hand at tennis

TAKE YOUR PICK!

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

After 25 years on the basketball court, Robert Thorpe decided it was time to make the switch to wheelchair tennis. It may not have gone quite as he planned. “I thought it was easier than basketball, but it’s not,” the Kamloops athlete joked following a loss in his first match of the 2014 Legacy Performance Games. Thorpe registered in the Games at the behest of the Kamloops Adapted Sports Association, despite only having a handful of matches under his belt. But, on Saturday, July 5, the 63-yearold left the Kamloops Tennis Centre court with a smile on his face, glad to be a part of the inaugural event. “Fantastic, so guys

Robert Thorpe connects with a forehand in wheelchair tennis at the Legacy Performance Games in Kamloops on Saturday, July 5. Allen Douglas/KTW

like us can play,” he said of the Games. “We’re not elite athletes, obviously, but we’re that second or third tier down.” Thorpe said sports like wheelchair tennis have allowed him to stay active and meet new people over the years. He started playing

basketball at 31 and was a regular for more than two decades. He picked up tennis this year, following his unofficial retirement from the hardcourt. “After 25 years of playing basketball I was just tired of it,” Thorpe said. “It’s a little harder to keep up.

“Tennis is a little more strategic. You’re 1-on-1. It’s up to you.” Even if he’s not winning, he’ll keep playing. “It’s fun meeting upbeat people,” Thorpe said. “Most everybody that plays sports, wheelchair sports, are upbeat people.”

Dhillon lives on through hockey By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tka’s Eternal Life Ball Hockey Tournament will run on Aug. 23 and Aug. 24 in Kamloops. The legacy of Taranveer “Tka” Dhillon will be carried on through the game he loved.

Taranveer “Tka” Dhillon’s life revolved around hockey. Between four and five times a week, he would lace up his skates and hit the ice, playing with three different teams to get in as many games as possible. When he wasn’t at the rink, he was in the streets, playing ball hockey with the neighbourhood kids, spending quality time with his nieces and nephews. He was at home with a hockey stick in his hands — as a kid, he gave up playing rugby at a provincial level to fully commit to minor hockey — and, if he wasn’t playing, he was coaching, passing the game on to the next generation. Dhillon passed away unexpectedly in July of 2013 at just 32 years of age. He was an athlete, healthy and in his prime, but, for some unknown reason, that summer day he just didn’t wake up. In the days that followed, his family started to think about his legacy

and how his life could be celebrated. The sport of hockey and helping the kids who play it seemed a natural choice. “He was a firm believer in sports allowing for confidence,” his sister, Manpreet Dhillon, told KTW. “It gives kids structure, it helps their physical well-being as well as their emotional wellbeing and that sense of belonging, as well.” The weekend of Aug. 23 and Aug. 24 will bring the inaugural Tka’s Eternal Life Ball Hockey Tournament to Kamloops, an event that will celebrate Tka’s life and the sport that was most important to him. The tournament is a fundraiser, with all its proceeds going to KidSport. “I think one of the biggest things for why we chose KidSport as the charity we’re supporting, as much time as he could, he used to spend with his nieces and nephews,” Manpreet said. “He grew up working in hockey camps, teaching younger kids how to play, and he used sports

as a way to teach kids life lessons. “We really believed in the mandate of KidSport because of that.” The tournament will take place at Westsyde Centennial Park and thus far about 100 players have registered to play. More than 50 family members will be coming from the Lower Mainland to be present at the tournament and Tka’s network of close friends in Kamloops will be on hand, too, playing and remembering the Kam High grad. Registration is still open to teams and individuals. For more information, visit tkaseternallife.org. Registration closes on Thursday, July 10. For Manpreet, organizing the tournament has been a humbling experience. Tka’s friends have jumped at any opportunity to help and much of the event has been sponsored by organizations and people that wish to remember her brother. He was a man with a big heart who touched many. “It’s changing my

life in a lot of ways.” Manpreet said. Seeing how her brother impacted so many lives has changed the way she handles her own relationships. “I have a lot more respect for him — not that I didn’t when he was here — but all of a sudden you see the person in a different light,” she continued. “The fact that he allowed people into his heart so much is something I really learned from him.” Growing up in Kamloops, Tka’s family could never get him to come inside. He was always out in the cul-de-sac playing street hockey, organizing a pick-up basketball game, kicking a soccer ball around. Manpreet hopes that the first Tka’s Eternal Life Ball Hockey Tournament will grow the same love of sport in other youth in the Tournament Capital. “One of the biggest things he had, he had a huge heart,” she said. “That’s one of the reasons we wanted to do this — he loved kids.”

RiverDogs get the better of Mounties in doubleheader The Players Bench Kamloops RiverDogs posted a pair of wins over the Vancouver Mounties at the Canada Games Field on Saturday, July 5. Lance Martin had a nohitter through six innings before Vancouver reached base on a single in the first game of the doubleheader, which Kamloops won 7-2. Riley Jepson went the distance on the mound for the RiverDogs in the second game, giving up three runs on seven hits. Kamloops posted a 9-3 victory. Manager Sean Wandler and the RiverDogs were expecting to host Victoria in a doubleheader on Sunday, July 6, but the Vancouver Island squad did not have enough players to field a team.

TOURNAMENT CAPITAL SPORTS

The Dogs are hosting a doubleheader against Ridge Meadows on Saturday, July 12, with the first game set to get underway at 1 p.m. and the second at 3:30 p.m., both on the Canada Games Field. Kamloops sits fourth in league standings with a record of 16-8.

Ko wins junior girls’ title

Naomi Ko’s 6-under par 286 was enough to secure victory at the 2014 B.C. Golf Junior Girls’ Championship.

The tournament wrapped up at The Dunes at Kamloops on Friday, July 4. “I felt pretty good going into the round,” Ko said. “I started off with a bogey, so I knew I had to make a couple birdies to get where I needed to.” The 16-year-old Team Canada member was even in her final day of play. She had four birdies to go along with four bogeys. Kathy Lim of Langley finished two strokes back at 4-under. Alix

Kong, who led for the first three days of play, finished third at 3-under. Ko, Lim and Kong will represent B.C. at the national championship at the Thornhill Golf and Country Club later this month.

Earlier this week, Bruno became the first KGTC trampolinist to capture a gold medal at the Indo Pacific Championships, finishing atop the podium in double-mini trampoline.

Bruno shines in Sun City

The Kelowna Raiders topped their rivals, the Kamloops Rattlers, in senior C lacrosse action on Friday, July 4, winning 11-9. Nathan Woldum (2G, 4A), Mark Jurista (1G, 3A), AJ Lockwood (1G, 3A), JJ Woldum (3G, 1A), Russ McIntosh (1G, 1A), Gavin McIntosh (1G) and Dylan Woldum (1A) found the scoresheet for Kamloops. Mike Smith was in goal for the Rattlers, making 34 stops.

Mario Bruno wrapped up his debut at the Indo Pacific Championships with a sixth-place finish in trampoline on Friday, July 4, the final day of competition in Sun City, South Africa. The event was the second of the 2014 international championship for Bruno, a Kamloops Gymnastics and Trampoline Centre athlete. Fellow Canadian Andrew Martin finished with a silver medal.

MARY BLACK November 4, 1912 ~ June 17, 2014

Mary’s life journey began in Stratford, Ontario on November 4, 1912. She was the first-born child of Rachel and Alexander McCormack who were Scottish immigrants. Her two brothers, Donald and Alexander, soon followed. The family moved to Guelph, Ontario when Alexander senior became the nighttime custodian at the agricultural college. Mary liked to make the evening rounds with her father as she enjoyed visiting the animals. She would often talk about skating and tobogganing in a nearby farmer’s field. The hot chocolate that followed was well remembered. Mary’s parents were social activists so she learned at an early age that it was not always easy to stand up for your beliefs. During WW1, Alexander McCormack was a conscientious objector who suffered the consequences. He was often handed a white feather, beaten up, and shoved down stairs. Mary remembered her father coming home battered and bruised. The neighbourhood girls would stone Mary. When Mary was a teenager her family moved to British Columbia for relatives had told them “the streets were paved in gold”. Mary had looked forward to the train journey across Canada because she was fascinated by stories of the Continental Divide. To her great disappointment there was only a simple plaque to mark the location rather than a spectacular geological formation.

WAYNE HERBERT CHAMBERS July 2, 1938 – June 29, 2014 After a brief illness Dad has embarked on his last haul in life’s journey. Dad was predeceased by his parents, his first wife Peggy, his daughter Annette, his granddaughter Rebecca, and his brother-in-law Larry. Dad is lovingly remembered by his second wife Joan and his daughters Charlotte (Rob) Leach, Bridgette (Jack) Boyde, Denette (Dave) Stengert, son-in-law Steven (Karen) Hartley, sisters Gladys Roberge, Helen (Bud) Ringer, Edie (Chris) Goodfellow, his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and many close relatives and friends.

Due to a very severe case of acne, Mary was a quiet and introverted teenager who devoted herself to her studies. Mary’s dream, upon graduating from Grade 13, was to attend university. Unfortunately, the financial constraints of the Great Depression made this impossible. She, along with two other candidates, competed for a coveted scholarship to UBC. Mary lost by a percentage point to a girl who squandered her first year by partying instead of studying. Although Mary was greatly disturbed by these events, she went on to graduate from secretarial college. After graduation, Mary found employment. She followed in her parents’ radical footsteps when she became the first secretary in the CCF’s Vancouver office. Through her work, Mary was able to advocate for the underprivileged. On December 7, 1934, Mary spoke on behalf of unemployed women before Premier Pattullo and George Pearson, the Minister of Labour:

“I am speaking on behalf of the single women of British Columbia…Bodies are undernourished and our resistance to disease is being lowered all the time. And I am afraid that this future generation is going to be poorly developed…We are the mothers of tomorrow and unless we are properly nourished our children will be poor wretched creatures.” While preparing her presentation for the Joint Committee on Unemployment, Mary met her future husband, William (Bill) Black. The couple was married on November 26, 1936. In 1944, Bill became the Hospital Employees’ Union’s first secretary-business manager and in 1956, the first president of the B.C. Federation of Labour. Mary was Bill’s private secretary from 1956 to 1968. The integral role that Mary played in the early years of the Hospital Employees’ Union (HEU) is best described by Patricia G. Webb in “The Heart of Health Care: The Story of the Hospital Employees’ Union”.

Although she never worked in the health care field herself, Mary Black later came to work for HEU, where

“Nothing will replace you. Nothing will erase you. The Queen of the family has died and things are no longer as bright.” Mary was predeceased by her brothers, Donald and Alexander McCormack, her husband, William (Bill) Murray Black, her son Douglas Murray Black, and her stepson, Norman William Black. Memories of Mary will be kept alive by her daughters Barbara Steinke (Larry) and Mary Neilson (Lindsay), six grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. Mary will be fondly remembered by her nephew, Robert (Bobby) McCormack and his wife, Judy as well as by her neighbours in West Point Grey, her extended family in Scotland, and by Jackie and Laurie, very special friends. The many “earth” angels from Nurse Next Door, Berwick On the Park, and Kamloops Seniors’ Village who helped Mary during the seven years that she lived in Kamloops have been acknowledged and thanked. The palliative care that Mary received in Kamloops Seniors’ Village was exemplary. A memorial will be held in late August in Kamloops.

Dean passed away suddenly on July 2, 2014; he was born on April 13, 1968 in Williams Lake, BC. Dean was caring, thoughtful and he had a big heart. He cared about his family and friends and was always there to help out. He loved to go camping and getaways. Dean will be missed by the many people who knew him. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone. Brother, sister, kids and nephews, nieces, family and friends left behind. A part of us went with you, when an angel called you home. A Funeral Service will be held in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street on Friday, July 11, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome.

Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

While surrounded by the love of her family, Mary’s incredible 101-year journey came to an end on June 17, 2014. To quote her 24-year-old great-grandson, Caleb Neilson:

LEO DEAN KUCH

by Nel de Keijzer

Dad was a very generous man to all who knew him. The spare parts Dad carried in his truck saved many a driver who had broken down on the highway. Papa spoiled each of his grandchildren, the loves of his life and his pride and joy, each in their own way. They never tired of hearing his stories.

A celebration of Dad’s life will be held on Saturday, July 12 at 11:00 am at the Kamloops Funeral Home. Tea to follow.

One of the great challenges in life for Mary was to leave the family home of 64 years. The house on 12th Ave in West Point Grey had been a magnet for family and friends. Unfortunately, memory loss was becoming a problem, and Mary could no longer live by herself. On August 17, 1997, Mary left Vancouver to live in a seniors’ residence in Kamloops so that her daughter, Barbara, could assist her.

In loving memory of

Santa Barbara, California

Dad was born in Lethbridge and grew up on a farm in Milk River, Alberta. After a short stint in the Army he worked on the drilling rigs as far away as the Arctic Islands. Dad found his true passion in truck driving, eventually becoming an owner-operator. He was always happiest on the open road. Throughout the years he enjoyed many adventures including salmon fishing in Campbell River and riding bareback broncs in the Calgary Stampede. In later years he took pleasure in trips to Mexico but always returned to his favourite fishing hole at Tranquille Lake.

In lieu of flowers, donations to BC Children’s Hospital or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

those who worked closely with her considered her almost as important as her husband in providing leadership during the union’s formative years…Those familiar with Bill Black’s leadership were later unable to say where his contribution to HEU ended and Mary Black’s began.

“When your loved one becomes a memory Your memories become treasures” Loving and missing you today and always Dad, Mom, Derek, Chantal and Lil Damian

Always remembered and forever in our hearts. Your loving family

I miss you still, But see you new In light of joy And smile at your remembrance. The love we shared Still here to give And to experience The joy that comes from that, IS YOU!!

MUTINY ON MOUNTAINFEST GROUNDS By Emily Wesel

MERRITT HERALD

Ottawa-based critically acclaimed electronic group A Tribe Called Red will be a headlining act at this year’s Bass Coast festival, which hits the old Mountainfest grounds from Aug. 1 to Aug. 4. “They’re quite revered around the world right now,” Bass Coast’s Paul Brooks said of the band, which is composed of three First Nations DJs and samples from aboriginal drum songs. “We really like the message they bring and their unique style of music,” Brooks said of A Tribe Called Red. The group’s sophomore album, last year’s Nation II Nation, was shortlisted for 2013’s Polaris Prize, Canada’s cornerstone award bestowed on an act by consensus of Canadian music journalists that eschews commercial success. The lineup for this year’s festival also includes Junonominated Toronto duo Graze, whose chilled-out techno makes them a group to watch. Longtime British solo art-

ist dBridge will also take to a stage. “He’s very important in the drum-and-bass genre and he’s very respected,” Brooks said. For the second year in a row, Portland-based Natasha Kmeto will play Bass Coast after generating plenty of good feedback at last year’s festival. “She’s a versatile singersongwriter and instrumentalist. She has kind of a sensuous, R&B sound,” Brooks said. Her 2013 album Crisis received critical acclaim from music magazines such as Spin, which was also the focus of Bass Coast’s 2013 remix competition, which saw nearly 200 entries from around the world. Organizers are going through the entries to pick a winner for the grand prize — a Korg synthesizer — and to select songs to turn into a compilation. Addison Groove, also known as British dubstep pioneer Headhunter, will bring his Chicago footwork side of electronic productions to the festival, which called the Nicola Valley its new home for the first time last year after

relocating from Squamish. “There’s a whole schwack of other artists,” Brooks said, noting about half come from Alberta and B.C., and there are many international headliners. “We’re going big — again,” he said. The theme for the 2014 festival is mutiny. “We’re going to be playing really heavily on the mutiny theme, so without giving too much away, expect to see some pirate ships and things like that on site,” he said. “It’s a pirate theme but it’s so much more,” he said. Festival organizers also extended the mutiny theme into a tour of Western Canada, which features artists who will be playing the festival. The Mutiny Tour kicked off in Calgary in April and hit Kamloops — and organizers are still adding dates. Brooks said the tour brings the festival to people and it’s been a good way of marketing the festival. “These events are all culminating in the big event, which is Bass Coast Festival,” Brooks said.

Other changes in the works for this year’s festival include alternatives to the festival layout after last year’s inaugural Merritt event. Organizers will add another stage to the wooded area of the site where last year’s Slay Bay stage was after it proved a favourite with festival-goers. “People kind of favourited it because it was shady and had a lot of atmosphere,” he said. With the music lineup nailed down, organizers are now finalizing the art installations that will be featured around the festival grounds. Although the art installations don’t necessarily have to play on the mutiny theme, Brooks said it wouldn’t surprise him if the featured art ended up playing to that theme. “When we introduced the zebra theme last year, you could see people took it and ran with it,” Brooks said. “I feel it’s going to be the same way again with the mutiny theme.”

Fairytale stories from around the world X From B1

“There’s about 300 different ways the show can go, depending on what decisions the audience makes,” said Rivertown producer Heidi Verwey. “And that’s a very participatory show too. The kids have to make a magic potion and go off and find the ingredients for the potion and stuff.” Other shows in the Rivertown lineup draw on European, First Nations and Japanese fairytales, Waterous said. The cast also tried to include as many art forms as possible in its productions, from mask-making to clowning. “One of our shows is quite artistic and it’s a lot of dancing,” said Barton. “Another is a lot of singing. We have flute in it and background music and stuff.” In The Nosy Prince, a prince with an unusually shaped nose forces his citizens to wear funny noses as well, while the main characters in The Wish Fish learn that catching a fish that grants wishes isn’t necessarily as great as it sounds. A fourth show, Crystal Mountain, uses movement and dance to tell its fairy story. Shows are planned five days a week. While past Rivertown troupes have stuck to Riverside Park for their performances, this year’s trio is going on the road, with shows planned for the North Shore, Sa-Hali and other neighbourhoods.

Dipping deep into improv By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

There are moments when Taran Waterous, Allandra Barton and Jessica Rowat have no idea what will happen next. The Rivertown Players are under the control of the oh-so-young members of the audience, waiting for their input as, together, they create Finn’s Fabulous Fairytale Adventure. “The kids are super-interested,” Waterous said, “and they really become like a character in the play.” There’s an ongoing dialogue, with the three actors asking questions that will direct their create your own adventure fairytale play, and also with them checking in to see if the kids are still having fun while on the adventure or if we need to make some adjustments. Performing outdoors at various Kamloops parks brings with it some new realities for the actors. Perhaps the biggest one is the simple reality that all the theatre etiquette people grow up with — be quiet, don’t cough, don’t make noises — is gone. “Outdoors is messy and loud and its fun,” Waterous said. It also means dipping deep into their improvisation skills to be able to respond quickly not only to where the children have taken them, but how each of the three

The group is also planning a series of workshops that will teach children how to make balloon animals and masks and offer tips on clowning, juggling and percussion. “They really decided to kick it up a notch this year and try to

will then move the play forward. Barton and Waterous, both theatre-arts students at Thompson Rivers University, have worked together. Rowat is the first non-TRU student hired for the annual summertime productions, coming to the work from the Victoria-based Canadian College of Performing Arts. That education involved more musical theatre, dance and singing than do the courses at TRU, Waterous said, “so she has a different point of view and brings a different dynamic. “We’ve only been together for one-and-a-half months but it’s a good bond. We know where we’re going.” This is also the first year the Players have taken their act out of Riverside Park, with performances planned at Centennial Park (July 11 and Aug. 22), Prince Charles Park (July 25 and Aug. 21), McDonald Park (July 10 and Aug. 15) and Albert MacGowan Park (July 17, July 24, Aug. 7, Aug. 8 and Aug. 14.) The actors can be hired for other performances, said director Heidi Verwey, providing the Kamloops Arts Council, which operates the Players, with a way to help keep the program operational. Sun Peaks has already booked them for a show, for example, and they will be taking part in some busking competitions, as well.

make more of it,” said Verwey. “So, we’re touring it to other parks besides Riverside. They’ve added these workshops and classes and are trying to make the shows bigger and better than ever.” To help with the

When it comes to art, why buy local? By Karla Pearce

SPECIAL TO KTW

e live in a time when we are saturated with images promoting non-stop consumer culture. They stare back at us from our computers, televisions, magazines. They drive by us on buses, come home with us in our groceries and we even pay extra to have them on our clothes and accessories. We live in a time when painting has been declared dead and advertisements and political agendas can be declared high art, and the craft has become used as an advertisement or a commodity to be bought and sold for millions of dollars. How does a local artist — a creator of beautiful thoughts and artwork —

Some examples of local art that can be found right here in Kamloops are ceramics by Amanda Buder Eccleston (above) and paintings by David Langevin (right).

compete with that? The first step is awareness. A reproduction or a print, unless it is handcreated by the artist, is a piece of paper and nothing more. Over time, it will deteriorate and fade. A real painting is

alive and vivid and is far superior. Paintings contain crystallized pigments that will change as the light changes — often built up by layers of paint done by hand. An original painting often contains textures created by brushstrokes

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Paintings, jewelry, ceramics made in Kamloops X From B5

A hand thrown pot, mug or vase are not just functional vessels, but time capsules linking us to our humanity. We have been throwing pots and making clay ceramic sculptures ever since we came out of the forests 20,000 years ago. To think, while you’re having your morning cup of coffee out of a handmade mug, you are supporting a direct link to our culture and another human being. Handmade jewelry goes back even further. The need to identify and adorn ourselves dates way back. Some of the world’s first jewelry — 13 shells covered in clay — was found in the Grotte des Pigeons at Taforalt in eastern Morocco some 82,000 years ago. This piece of adornment could easily have

More examples of local art include paintings by Karla Pearce (left), fiber art by Page Raven (centre) and jewelry by Deborah Swain (right).

been a token of love or symbol of passion made by someone like us. Wearing handmade jewelry created by an artist reflects who you are, what you cherish and what you want to share with the rest of the world. In a time when reproductions and

factory-produced originals flood the market, buying an original piece of artwork created by a member of your community becomes like a capsule of authenticity. The piece, no matter the medium — painting, sculpture, ceramic, jewelry or multimedia — reflects the artist and

the person who owns it as well. A collector of art is not just a collector of things, but a safekeeper of our culture. I would like to urge consumers to think about how they are spending their hardearned money. There are many

choices out there that are cheap and will satisfy the urge to consume and fill that thing on the list, but will it last? Where was it made? Is it any good? Original artwork

can create beauty in a home and is an excellent investment because it goes up in value over time. It doesn’t matter if the artist becomes famous or not because artists capture a historical perspective, a point

in time, making the work more valuable over the years. This year, think about investing in your local artists and artisans. An original piece of art can be inspirational, nourishing and can be passed down to future generations, defining and safely keeping our cultural identity.

‘A triumph over adversity’

Racing instructor Rick Bye explains the controls of the Mitsubishi Evo racecar to Robert Hampson (foreground) before the pair heads out on the Mosport Driver Development Track as a part of the Performance Driving Experience. Jim Robinson/Metroland Media

By Jim Robinson

METROLAND MEDIA

wheels.ca

OBERT Hampson powered his Mitsubishi Lancer Evo into one of Mosport’s notorious hairpin turns, exclaiming, “This is the best day of my life!” At full throttle down the front straight, hard on the brakes and just clipping the apex — such was Hampson’s pace that I, in the back seat, was starting to exoerience motion sickness. Not bad for a guy who is blind. Multi-championshipwinning race driver Rick Bye was in the front seat with Hampson. Beside me in the back was Bernie Gluckstein. Between the three of them, they may have just opened a whole new world to people with disabilities. Not just in Ontario, but around the world.

It’s one of those rare instances when people from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences meet at one magical moment in time. At the Canadian Tire Mosport Park on July 2, people with acquired-brain injury, spinal-cord injury, other neurological disorders and those with visual impairment were invited by Gluckstein Personal Injury Lawyers (GPIL) of Toronto to come and drive a race prepared car. It’s the first in what may develop into an annual event at the track. Called the Performance Driving Experience, it was billed as a one-on-one driving experience with a professional driving instructor. To ensure a safe and controlled environment, instructors were present for the duration of the event. Hampson’s day behind the Evo all started with grandmother,

Dorothy Davey. Hampson, 22, hasn’t let his vision impairment hold him back. A tireless volunteer and King Clancy Award recipient — given to “distinguished Canadians who have made significant contributions in assisting disabled citizens to achieve a more rewarding lifestyle” — he has accomplished a lot, including skydiving, but his ultimate wish at Christmas last year was to drive a racecar. That Christmas wish led Davey to Rick Bye, an internationally renowned driving instructor who had his own life-threatening challenge. On January 29, 1998, Bye and his co-driver where hauling a brand new Mustang racecar to Daytona behind a Ford F-350 pickup on Interstate 77 near Statesville, NC. As they crested a hill in the rain, two semi-haulers sat before them, stopped

side-by-side and blocking the highway only yards ahead. No one really knows what happened next, but the best guess is Bye threw himself in front of his passenger a split second before the crash, taking the whole hit. The passenger had a few broken bones. Bye was so badly injured doctors induced a coma. By all rights, he should have died. He never should have walked again, let alone live, but he did. During his rehabilitation period, he became a client of GPIL and he and company principal Bernie Gluckstein became friends. Bye is currently involved with Brian Donato who is a paraplegic. They have created Roll With It Racing and have entered a Lancer Evo donated by Mitsubishi Canada in this September’s Targa

Newfoundland six-day race with the team sponsored by GPIL. Out of that, Bye and Gluckstein (also a King Clancy Award winner) came up with the Performance Driving Experience, which had some 75 people turn up at Mosport’s twisty Driver Development Track the same day as Hampson. Joining them were professional racecar drivers Bill Adam and David Deacon, who donated their time to help out with driver and instructor duties. The sports cars at the event were tailored to ensure that everyone had a unique driving experience. The cars featured hand controls for those who have been left without the use of their legs. Drivers with visual impairments were able to drive with a specially trained instructor in the passenger seat. In addition, GPIL

donated Victory Laps, which entitled recipients to ride in a performance sports car driven by a professional driving instructor. When Hampson took the wheel, Bye told him when to accelerate, brake, turn left or right and, occasionally, grabbed the steering wheel to help Hampson make some of the more difficult turns. I have to tell you, he did great, but the best part was hearing Hampson laugh with joy after charging through one difficult corner after another. Sitting beside me, Gluckstein was mightily impressed, making no bones about how fast we were going. “What this is,” he said, “is a triumph over adversity.” “Here we are today with some of these people having had a chance to do something they have dreamed of.”

Owners of the 2014 Corvette Stingray can attend the two-day Ron Fellows Performance Driving School in Parhumph, Nev., for $1,000 US. Fellows is a Corvette icon who was inducted into the Corvette Hall of Fame in 2011.

Corvette icon hosts driving school

the Stingray on Spring Mountain’s worldclass 2.2-mile road course, where three levels of instruction cover novice track drivers to those with more experience. Fellows is recognized as one of North America’s most versatile and successful road-racing drivers. A charter member of Corvette Racing, Fellows was part of historic Corvette Racing victories at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and 12 Hours of Sebring. In 2011, Fellows was inducted into the Corvette Hall of Fame, located at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky.

Ford Transit features five-row side-curtain airbag The all-new Ford Transit 15-passenger wagon makes its debut in the United States and Canada with the industry’s only five-row sidecurtain airbag. Part of Ford Motor Company’s Safety Canopy System, this jumbo airbag is designed to help provide enhanced head and neck protection in rollover and side-impact crashes. The airbag measures close to 15-feet long and

three-feet tall, with a volume of 120 litres. By comparison, a side-curtain airbag for a sedan like Ford Fusion is approximately 6.8-feet long and two-feet tall, with a volume of 42 litres. In a crash situation, a series of sensors detects the impact and triggers two of the industry’s largest inflators to fill the entire airbag with stored gas in a fraction of a second. The inflators fill the bag in a pattern

engineered to manage the direction of bag deployment and control cushion thickness throughout the length of the bag. The airbag is made of a coated, polyesterbased fabric that holds the gas, so the bag remains inflated for several seconds. The single-bag design — in conjunction with tethering and the vehicle’s B-, C- and D-pillars — helps keep the curtain supported

when deployed. Side-curtain airbags are standard on the Transit wagon, which is available in three roof heights, two wheelbases and three body lengths. The high-roof longwheelbase wagon seats as many as 15 people and provides as much as 65.2 inches of headroom. The side-curtain airbag is just one of many standard safety features on the all-new Ford Transit wagon.

Ford, Intel use cameras for improved driver experience

As vehicles become an integral part of the Internet, Ford and Intel are researching new opportunities for the connected car. This includes giving drivers the ability to remotely peer into their car using a smartphone, or a vehicle that could identify its owner using facial-recognition software. The joint-research project, called Mobile Interior Imaging, or Project Mobii, explores

how interior-facing cameras could be integrated with sensor technology and data already generated within and around the vehicle to create a more personalized and seamless interaction between driver and vehicle that transforms the driving experience. The Mobii research was a collaboration between Intel ethnographers, anthropologists and engineers alongside Ford research engineers,

and incorporates perceptual computing technology to offer a more enjoyable and intuitive vehicle experience. Ford now uses exterior vehicle cameras for driver-assist features such as lane-keeping assist and lane-departure warning. The Mobii research examines new applications for interior cameras, including driver authentication. The use of facial-recognition software offers

improved privacy controls, and enables Project Mobii to identify different drivers and automatically adjust features based on an individual’s preferences. Upon entering the vehicle, the driver is authenticated by Project Mobii through a frontfacing camera using facial-recognition software. The in-car experience is then personalized to display information specific to that driver, such as calendar,

music and contacts. If Project Mobii detects a passenger in the car, a privacy mode activates to display only navigation. If Project Mobii does not recognize the driver, a photo is sent to the primary vehicle owner’s smartphone. That owner can then set permissions and specify features that should be enabled or disabled. If the driver is the child of the vehicle owner, for example,

restrictions could be automatically set to require safety-belt use and to limit speed, audio volume or mobile phone use while driving. Gesture recognition software enables intuitive interaction for the driver. A combination of natural gestures and simple voice commands can simplify such tasks as turning the heat up and down, or opening and closing a sunroof while driving.

Honda Indy Toronto continues festival format

When is a car race not just a car race? The answer comes to Toronto’s Exhibition Place, July 18 to July 20, for Honda Indy Toronto with an entire festival of events that offers as much off-track action as it does on track. Tickets to the 2014 Honda Indy Toronto are available now online at hondaindy.com or by calling 1-877-503-6869

to purchase. One of the two big newcomers for 2014 is the Stihl Timbersports Series for its Canadian Championships. Fans in attendance will be able to see top professional logger sports athletes compete in such events as the Standing Block Chop, the STIHL Stock Saw, the Underhand Chop, the Single Buck, the Springboard and

the Hot Saw. And if watching men and women Stihl Timbersports athletes compete under the hot sun leads to heat overload for some, there will be plenty of help on site in some of the top firefighters in North America, competing in the Honda Indy Toronto leg of the SCOTT FireFit Championships — a series of events that

have been described as Olympics for firefighters and smokeaters. Also part of the

entertainment mix is the return of Honda Canada, with its Junior Red Rider program and

the Honda World exhibit, featuring games, activities and racinginspired displays.
