Enhanced security on way to SD73
Name badges, roll shutters, security cameras to be used in Kamloops schools By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

Fortunato Vetere knows a thing or two about a well-built home. When the 86-yearold left his home in Grimaldi, Italy, in 1951, he left behind a house he had built with his bare hands. He settled in Barriere upon his arrival in Canada, where he stayed for 10 years before building another home on the North Shore of Kamloops. Fifty years later, he still lives in the Kamloops home and the house he built in Italy is owned by a relative. On Tuesday, July 8, Fortunato said he wouldn’t be moving any time soon — despite his family having won the YMCA-YWCA’s Dream Home Lottery. Fortunato, along with son-in-law Paul Fischer, daughters, Josie Fischer and Lucy Vetere and son Joe Vetere, won the lottery’s grand prize — the $560,000 home at 500 Pointe Pl., along the 18th fairway of Sun

Rivers Golf Resort. “I just couldn’t believe it. I’m actually still kind of dumbfounded,” Paul Fischer told KTW shortly after hearing he had won the home. It was Paul’s name on the ballot pulled, but the family had purchased a book of five tickets — as they have done every year for the last 17 years — and agreed to split

any winnings. It seemed a harmless agreement — in all those years, the group had never won a thing. “When he [Y Dream Home Lottery marketing director Bryce Herman] phoned, I was thinking, ‘Oh, I finally won one of those secondary prizes!’” Paul said. “And then he told me it was the house and I just couldn’t believe it.” The rest of the fam-
ily was equally stunned. It was Paul who had the honour of telling them the good news. It took some convincing before they were celebrating with him. “They didn’t believe me,” he said. “They thought I was pulling their leg and I said, ‘No, I think I was just on the radio. Seriously, go listen.’” X See DUSTING OFF A11
Beginning in September, all adults —from secretaries to principals to teachers — in Kamloops-Thompson schools will wear name badges. The requirement is part of a number of new security measures being implemented following the fatal shooting of 20 children at Sandy Hook elementary school in Connecticut two years ago. “At a large school like Sa-Hali or South Kamloops secondary, it will let staff know if someone has checked in at the office,” said the district’s health and safety manager, Michelle Marginet. Changes to security in the school district began almost immediately after the Sandy Hook shootings, with a directive that school doors, other than the main entrance, must be locked during the school day. Other new measures included lock-down procedures twice a year and a requirement that visitors sign in. It will take several months to bring in the name tags to each school. In addition to wearing name tags, teachers will be required to keep their doors shut and locked while inside with their class. “We can’t make our classes into fortresses,” superintendent Terry Sullivan told trustees at their regular board meeting on Monday, July 7. “We have to have a balance.” Following the tragedy in Connecticut, the district struck a

Do you support the enhanced securityy measures in district schools? Let us know at edit ed dittoror@k @ am @k amllolooppststhi thihisw swee sw eekk.k.co ee k.co comm committee to look at school security. Most of its recommendations are being adopted, save for implementing a swipe-card system at schools — deemed too expensive — and installing security cameras at every entrance. They will be installed, however, where the office is not at the front entrance. The district will adopt a keytracking strategy and ensure locks are consistent through schools. Marginet said the district is also installing roll shutters at each school over time. They can be shut during a lockdown and also decrease vandalism and increase security during nonschool hours. About three schools a year are being equipped due to costs.

Firefighters battle pair wof blazes in searing heat By Tim Petruk
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A fried eagle was to blame for a grassfire and power outage in Westsyde on Tuesday, July 8. Fire crews were called to 6195 Westsyde Rd. just after 3 p.m. after a witness reported seeing a city water pump explode. What he actually saw, according to City of Kamloops utility supervisor Mike Firlotte, was an exploding bird of prey. “It looks like an eagle hit a power line and it sparked a grassfire on a neighbouring farm,” he told KTW. The blaze was quickly doused by Kamloops Fire Rescue crews, who were joined by their provincial forestry counterparts. That fire came just over an hour after another blaze, this time at a home in Batchelor Heights. Crews were called to 1751 North River Dr. just before 2 p.m. after neighbours called 911 to report smoke. Neighbour Kate Allen was driving past the house with her sister when they saw smoke coming from the back of the home. “She called 911, then I went around the back and saw the whole corner of the house completely gone,” Allen said. No one was inside the home at the time, but a small dog was rescued by firefighters. Allen said a resident of the home arrived while it was burning. “He said, ‘That’s my house, that’s my house!’” she said. His dog was taken to a vet to be checked out for smoke inhalation, but Allen said the animal appeared to be fine. The investigation into the cause of the Batchelor fire is ongoing.
Kamloops firefighters mop up after responding to a house fire in Batchelor Heights on Tuesday, July 8. The investigation into the blaze, which understandably elicited much emotion from residents (above), continues. Dave Eagles/KTW

Prelim begins for man charged in fire, death
‘TIL DEATH DO US PAR Five-year-old Piper Reeves was at Rivershore Golf Club with her family, attending a wedding, but she found something a bit more exciting than nuptials. Allen Douglas/KTW
The preliminary inquiry is underway for a Kamloops man accused of killing a woman last year when he allegedly set a downtown house on fire. David Peter Gordon is facing arson and manslaughter charges in relation to an April 25, 2013, fire at 927 St. Paul St. Police allege Gordon set the blaze, from which an unconscious and severely injured Cheryl William was pulled. William, 44, was taken off life support four days later. Both Gordon and William lived in the house, which was divided into three suites. Police said they did not know each other, and two other residents of another suite escaped unharmed. Gordon was arrested a short time after the fire was reported. Preliminary inquiries are hearings after which a provincial court judge will determine whether the Crown has enough evidence to proceed to trial in B.C. Supreme Court. All preliminary inquiries are covered by mandatory publication bans. Gordon remains in custody.
Imitation weapons, real charges A Kamloops man will likely face charges after police caught him wandering around a Brocklehurst neighbourhood with imitation guns. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said Mounties were called to Desmond Street at about 8:30 p.m. on Monday, July 7, for a report of an armed man walking around. The 25-year-old suspect is alleged to have hidden a longbarrel BB gun under a parked vehicle. He also had a BB handgun in his pos-
BIG
session, Bush said. “As other officers arrived, they demanded the male to drop the handgun he was holding and he was then arrested without incident,” Bush said. Investigators believe the incident was related to a previous domestic dispute. The suspect’s name has not been released, pending a court appearance. Police are recommending charges relating to the imitation weapons and uttering threats.

Airport passenger numbers climbing By Cam Fortems
The Winners of the Kiwanis Club of Downtown Kamloops Canada Day 2014 Raffle were:
STAFF REPORTER
1)
Passenger numbers at Kamloops Airport are up more than nine per cent over last year, driven in part by longdistance commuters. The airport also reported numbers in June increased nearly seven per cent over the same month in 2013. Fred Legace, managing director of Kamloops Airport Ltd., attributed about half the increase to people living here and working in the north. “It’s people flying out on their own dime

or the company is paying.” Those numbers don’t include a charter that flies workers to Fort McMurray once a week. Passenger traffic is also up despite discon-
tinuation of WestJet’s service to Vancouver. Legace believes there is an increase in family visits back and forth to the Calgary area, the primary service point for aircraft from Kamloops.
“Aircraft are fuller,” Legace said. “I’d like to build that Calgary market more.” That could lead to a third flight out of Kamloops to the Southern Alberta city, he added.
Crown wants Jeurissen jailed indefinitely By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Crown wants to lock up a 44-year-old man indefinitely based on domestic violence against two women, a pattern a prosecutor said makes Shane Jeurissen a danger to the public. Closing arguments began in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Tuesday, July 8, in the dangerous-offender sentence hearing for Jeurissen, who has more than 100 convictions — many of them for breaching court-ordered conditions. But, it is two assaults against girlfriends that prosecutor Joel Gold said proves Jeurissen should be labelled a dangerous offender and jailed for a indeterminate time. Jeurissen, 43, pleaded guilty last year to assault with a weapon and breaching court conditions after he entered his girlfriend’s residence in Barriere and punched her in the eye as she was on the phone. RCMP said he then held a knife to her throat. Prior to that offence, he pleaded guilty to assault for punching a different woman, causing injury to her face.

CATCH ALL THE SAVINGS
While Jeurrisen has been labelled a prolific offender for the sheer number of offences he has committed, it is only the two assaults the Crown says prove a pattern that he is a danger to the public who can’t be managed outside a prison. Other offences include threats to guards at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Kathleen Ker has three options for Jeurissen: Hand him an indeterminate jail sentence; sentence him a to a minimum two-year jail term, followed by a long-term supervision order in the community; or simply deliver a jail sentence with no special conditions. Gold argued that, under some circumstances, an offender like Jeurissen could be given a jail sentence followed by a long-term supervision order that would protect the public. “But,” Gold added, “there’s evidence of real challenges for Mr. Jeurissen to comply with community supervision,” based on his frequent breaches of court orders. Jeurissen has been excluded from the courtroom, including via video appearance, based on his frequent outbursts.

Destination of 9-1-1 calls changing By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Regional-district taxpayers, including those in Kamloops, are expected to save more than $600,000 over five years with a switch to 9-1-1 service from a private Vancouver firm. The Thompson-Nicola Regional District is among a consortium moving to E-Comm, a private initial answering point for 9-1-1 calls already utilized by Lower Mainland
regional districts. The Nov. 18 switch date is at the expense of a public call centre based in Kelowna, where about 12 jobs were expected to be eliminated. Ron Storie, manager of community services with the TNRD, said there will be no change to jobs or staffing in Kamloops. Calls to E-Comm in Vancouver will continue to be routed to the B.C. Ambulance Service or Kamloops Fire and Rescue dispatch centres
in Kamloops. Storie said the change was brought on in part by rising costs at the Kelowna centre, which fields nearly 250,000 calls a year. In the future, Storie said, E-Comm will able to accept video taken at an accident scene, so-called next-gen 9-1-1. Police calls in Kamloops will continue to be handled by RCMP dispatchers in Kelowna, with initial calls routed through E-Comm.

The Beautiful Game is lovely, but hockey need not worry
T
HE WORLD CUP IS without a doubt the biggest sports tournament in the world, dwarfing in audience, attendance and interest any North American sport that claims to produce “world” champions. Every four years, even the most casual soccer (futbal) fan will watch The Beautiful Game they tend to ignore in the preceding and following 48 months. And, every quadrennial, various media outlets will note the bars and pubs and restaurants filled coast to coast with fans dressed in the uniforms of various countries and ask the question: Has soccer caught up to hockey? And, every four years, the answer can be summed up thusly: With all due respect to the Vancouver Whitecaps, Toronto FC, Montreal Impact and Major League Soccer — no, soccer has not pulled even with the puck. On Tuesday night, the CBC National asked the question and featured soccer-specific panelists, including Toronto FC star Dwayne De Rosario and Martin Rennie, former coach of the Whitecaps. CBC National host Evan Solomon posed the question: “Has soccer fever brought on a national identity crisis in a place long called hockey nation? The ground looks like it’s shifting underneath our skates.” He also cited statistics: • Among kids ages five to 14 playing sports in Canada, 22 per cent play hockey and 43 per cent play soccer. • An average of 2.7-million Canadians watched this year’s Stanley Cup final series between Los Angeles and New York, while the World Cup first-round soccer match between England and Italy had a Canadian viewership of 2.8 million. • Canada’s foreign-born population represents 20.6 per cent of population, with Asia, Africa, Central and South America being the leading sources of these Canadians — all areas where ice hockey is not necessarily a common sport being played. • By 2031, one in four Canadians will be foreign-born. When the World Cup arrives, hockey is fin-
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom MUSINGS ished for the season, the CFL has barely begun, baseball has yet to swing past the all-star break and the NFL and NBA are deep into the off-season. Even Major League Soccer shuts down for much of the tourney. Soccer’s global showcase has little competition for sports-starved fans in North America. But, to suggest a brief spike in interest is indicative of the sport supplanting hockey? Yes, more people (not only kids) in Canada play soccer than play hockey, but this has ever been so, based primarily on two points: It is cheaper to play and easier to learn. However, the depth of one’s commitment to a sport in Canada is unparalleled in hockey. The game on ice may have fewer players overall, but the focus with which they chase the NHL dream is unparalleled. So, too, is the intensity with which we watch hockey. There may be a sea of colour and painted faces and flags at various bistros and pubs during World Cup, but nothing — nothing — approaches the level of insanity that accompanies a home crowd gathering in a watering to hole to watch the home team play for the Stanley Cup. The years 2011, 1994 and 1982 are offered up as exhibits A, B and C. To be clear, soccer is a wonderful game. I live and die with my team, Derby County. I cheer for the Whitecaps. My kids played for years. Canada one day may accommodate soccer in the same stratosphere of interest now reserved for the NHL and CFL. But, that is the responsibility of those in charge with soccer in Canada, from the woeful and embarrassing
national men’s team all the way down to the minor associations. De Rosario is 36 and emigrated to Canada from Uruguay. He noted that, as a kid in Ontario in the 1980s, soccer was the game among his friends, while the only hockey played was the floor variety. In other words, soccer was at the same place three decades ago — immensely popular among soccer moms and dads looking to keep their kids busy and active without blowing the budget and without applying too much stress to the situation. On the CBC National program, host Solomon noted Canada is enjoying a golden age in tennis and basketball, so why not soccer? Rennie, the former Whitecaps’ coach, said the future lies with youth development. If it does not change, if it does not follow the European model with more private enterprise and academies, soccer will miss a great opportunity that is the World Cup-led interest in the sport. Canada has qualified for the World Cup once — in 1986, thanks in large part to the fact Mexico, as host country, automatically qualified, thereby removing one formidable obstacle from Canada’s path. In Mexico, Canada went 0-3 and scored no goals. Today, our nation is ranked 114th in the world, somewhere between Atlantis and the Moon. When will Canada next have a team in the World Cup? Rennie’s prognosis is spot-on: “Well, can you imagine just how much soccer would grow if Canada did have a team in the World Cup? It would be incredible. You can only imagine what the streets would be like and how much it would grow.” But . . .? “I honestly think that it’s a long way off just because of the how the system is currently set up,” Rennie added. In other words, grab the calendar and count the days because the Zambonis will soon be circling a rink near you. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds
Summer pickets may have drawn more fans School’s out and British Columbia’s teachers are still on strike. Or are they? Drive past any of the province’s more than 1,600 public schools and the picketing teachers who waved at passing motorists, eliciting horns of support or scorn, are absent. Their signs pleading for better education for their students with smaller classrooms and better class composition are packed away. For all intents and purposes, it looks like another routine summer holiday season around B.C.’s schools. And, yet, it’s not. The acrimonious dispute that put the teachers on the street and kids’ education on hold, continues. But, there are no longer pickets to remind us the strike is still on. That may be a missed opportunity for the teachers’ union to score a point in the battle for public support in this dispute. Continuing to picket the province’s schools through the summer, even in a skeleton fashion, would have been a constant reminder of what this dispute is about. Teachers could have shown their commitment to the cause they say they’re fighting for by continuing that fight, even when they’re normally on holiday. And maintaining pickets through the summer would have increased the pressure on the government to reach an agreement, as CUPE workers had pledged to honour teachers’ picket lines, meaning routine summer maintenance, repairs and paperwork wouldn’t get done. The provincial government is relying on public perception that teachers are already well paid and get to enjoy two months off every year to win support for its position. Seeing pickets march in the hot summer sun might have won more fans for the teachers.

“Our province needs mining and doctors. “We trust what our doctors tell us. I do. “Can we trust what a foreign-owned mining company with only profit on their agenda tells us? “Many don’t. “If our doctors tell us Ajax will have the potential of negative affects on our health because of its proximity to our homes and schools, I trust them. “We need mining and doctors in B.C., but we don’t need Ajax.” — posted by Nelsonx1 “I will trust the consulting professionals now working on the site, actual engineers and geoscientists who have the credentials to obtain and assess the information needed before a decision can be made, over a bunch of preservationist doctors any day. “Remember, most doctors are not scientists and therefore do not have the credentials to properly assess a set of data. “The real scientists working at the site live here in town. “I suggest you drop into the KGHM office to meet some of them. They are likely your neighbours.” — posted by Grunpe
Others are welcome to peruse data used by KPHE Editor: Perry Grunenberg asks a good question in his letter of June 26 (‘Air-quality report sensationalism with no basis in fact’): “Is there ever a reason to fear the conclusions of real science?” I have a doctorate in atmospheric physics and would agree wholeheartedly with his statement. In that spirit, I invite him, and
others interested in the past and present air quality in Kamloops, to visit the Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment Society’s (KPHES) website at kphe.ca for a reasoned response to the recent article in KTW. The website also has a detailed discussion of the statistical analysis used to prepare the KPHES fact sheet. Grunenberg is welcome to point out any errors he feels may

He may also wish to obtain the full air-quality data set from the Ministry of the Environment and perform his own statistical analysis of the change in particulate levels in the air over Kamloops. There are no measurements, no data, from any other source to examine. As far as I know, there
is also no analysis done by the ministry on the change in airborne particulate levels in Kamloops in the last three years when the new, more accurate, instrumentation has been in use. Until such time as this may be done, the data analysis by KPHES is the only one available to the citizens of the city. Dr. Robert S.

MP stands by her government’s decision on Northern Gateway Editor: Re: Art Johnson’s letter of June 27 (‘MP McLeod should take stand on Northern Gateway’): This, of course, has been a major issue within the community and many have come forward to express their opinions either for or against the proposed pipeline. The federal government’s decision was to accept the report of the independent review panel and its recommendation to place 209 conditions on the project in order for it to go ahead, including many issues to be resolved with First Nations. I encourage anyone who has not read these conditions to do so online at gatewaypanel.review-examen.gc.ca, where they will fully understand what the federal government requires Enbridge to do.
I support the decision of the government to place these 209 conditions on the project in order for it to proceed. Our government relies on independent scientific advice and analysis when making decisions about energy-infrastructure projects. We have always been clear that projects will only move forward if they are safe for Canadians and safe for the environment. Many of you may be aware of the government’s recent decision not to approve the proposed New Prosperity project in the Cariboo region on the recommendations of an independent review panel. Northern Gateway was no different as we deferred to the advice of a scientific panel.
Personally, while driving through our riding, I have witnessed the increased road traffic over the years and see railroad tracks alongside rivers and cutting through our beautiful wilderness. When faced with a number of options for transporting our oil and gas resources from road to train to pipeline, I strongly prefer large volumes go by pipeline. It is important to understand the Northern Gateway project will only proceed if Enbridge is able to meet all the conditions recommended by the panel, resolve First Nations issues and fulfil any provincial requirements.

Editor: Isn’t it interesting that mere hours after the announcement of higher speed limits was made, new signs were posted on the Coquihalla Highway, yet nearly a full month after completion of repaving 30 kilometres of Highway 1 between Walhachin and Tobiano, nary a single road line has been painted? Isn’t this, after all, the Trans-Canada Highway? Norm Jewison Savona Editor: I find it interesting the B.C. Trucking Association is opposed to speed-limit changes and its member companies have “no appetite for higher speed limits.” Apparently, all the trucks I encountered last week on my trip to the Lower Mainland and back were not members of the quoted association as they were very obviously happy to rev up to and beyond the new speed limits.

Dusting off golf clubs — or arm-wrestling for Y Dream Home? X From A1
The timing couldn’t have been better for Joe Vetere, who is currently house-hunting. Paul said his brother-in-law might be the one who ends up taking the home — if not, he said, the family might have to arm wrestle for it. Joe had yet to see the house before entering it with 11 of his family members on Tuesday. In fact, of the five members of the family who were in on the tickets, Paul was the only one to have toured the dream home. Stepping through the front door was a surreal moment for Joe, who was involved in the very first Y Dream Home as a horticulture stu-
dent at the University College of the Cariboo back in 1996. “It’s kind of numb right now, to be honest,” he said. “It’s amazing, actually.” As the family toured the house, mouths agape, a few joked it might be time to get serious about their golf games again. After all, a view of the 18th fairway every morning should provide plenty of motivation. Regardless of who takes the home, it was an exciting day for the Kamloops family. “We’re all just so happy,” Paul said. The 2014 Dream Home campaign saw the last of its 10,500 tickets sold on the final day of the contest, with more than $150,000 raised for the Y.

HOW WE MET
Life-long friendship has plenty of class BY JESSICA WALLACE • STAFF REPORTER • JESSICA@KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM

bugs,” he says. “I forgot about that,” Riley replies with a laugh, recalling light switches and spongepainted walls. She calls Kevin her longest — and best — friend. They’ve shared birthday parties, backyardgully adventures and even worked together at a local pizza shop. Their close friendship is often mistaken for dating and Kevin admits to crushing on her when they were younger. But, the feelings ended around Grade 7 and they say it will never happen.
2014
Riley Clark and Kevin Kneale are the only sunbathers at the beach. It’s overcast at Pioneer Park, but the 18-year-olds are in their swim gear, lying down and chatting. They grew up together in Kamloops. From day care to preschool, through elementary and high school, they have had at least one class together every year. They have trouble remembering when they met — age five or so — but Kevin’s first memory of their friendship is Riley’s childhood bedroom. It was walking distance from his house. “Everything was lady-
“We’re really different people,” Kevin says. “He’s my brother,” Riley says. Over the years, they’ve developed their own group of friends. Kevin has a girlfriend, but Riley is part of the package when it comes to his dating life because she is unique, he says. “She doesn’t get caught up in drama.” They both graduated from Sa-Hali secondary in June and are working part-time through the summer, saving money while living at home. They appreciate their summer days together
— cloudy beach days and all — because they know that, come September, they won’t see each other in class like they usually do. Riley leaves to travel Australia at the end of August. Kevin has his own plans — Europe or maybe a season at Sun Peaks. They’re not sure when they’ll see each other next, but there’s ample technology to communicate. And there are plenty of beaches in Australia. “I’ll probably have to make a visit down there,” Kevin says.

Police expand search for missing trio By Bill Graveland CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — Calgary police expanded their search for a missing boy and his grandparents to a garbage dump on Wednesday, July 9, as the man they consider a person of interest in the case learned he could be released from custody as early as Friday, July 11. Police spokeswoman Emma Poole said seven officers were going through the Spyhill Landfill, northwest of the city, looking for evidence in the disappearance of Nathan O’Brien, 5, and his grandparents, Alvin and Kathy Liknes. She said the search is routine in such missing persons cases and it’s expected officers will also be checking other landfills in the area. “They’re attempting to cast a wider net,’’ said Poole. While the search was underway, Douglas Garland appeared in
court on identity-theft charges unrelated to the missing-persons case. Police say 54-year-old Garland was questioned last weekend in relation to the disappearance and officers continue to search his parents’ rural property north of Calgary. He appeared in court via video from the Calgary Remand Centre for what was supposed to be a bail hearing. But, the Crown and defence both agreed Garland could be released with a number of conditions. He first needs to provide a new address for where he will be staying, with the search ongoing at the farm where he had been living. He is to return to court on Friday. At one point, Garland, dressed in a blue jail jumpsuit, leaned in close to the court camera, explaining to the judge he had bad eyesight. His lawyer made it clear he is only representing Garland on the
Nathan O’Brien, 5, and his grandparents, Alvin and Kathryn Liknes, were last seen on June 29 at the Linkes’ Calgary-area home, where they were conducting an estate sale.
charge of identity theft. “I can only comment today on what was before the court,’’ Kim Ross said. “I’ve only been retained on the charges unrelated to any other investigation that’s going on right now. “I have absolutely no knowledge of any-
thing else other than the charges that are before the court here today.’’ Nathan and his grandparents were last seen on June 29, following an estate sale at the couple’s Calgary-area home. Police believe a violent incident took place in the home, but have maintained they still hope
to find the three alive. Court records show Garland has a criminal past and mental-health problems. In 2000, he was sentenced to 39 months in prison for making amphetamines at his parents’ farm. When the Parole Board of Canada later
gave him accelerated release after six months, it noted in its decision that Garland’s prior criminal record consisted of various property offences over the course of 20 years. His mental health played a role in the crimes, the board said, but a psychologist determined Garland had “little violence potential to others.’’ It ordered a psychologist and psychiatrist to closely monitor him during his release. A federal tax court ruling later in 2005 detailed more about Garland’s past, indicating he went to medical school for a year. but left after having a mental breakdown. It also said he suffers from attention-deficit disorder. The document said when Garland was first
arrested on the drug charges back in 1992, he skipped bail and fled to Vancouver. He assumed the name of a dead person and got a job working for a laboratory company. He was good enough to be promoted to supervisor but suffered another breakdown and was fired in 1997. Mounties eventually caught up with him on the drug charges and he pleaded guilty in court. After he was released from prison, the Canada Revenue Agency went after him for employment insurance benefits it paid out after 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. Calgary Police have confirmed Garland has a connection to the missing family members. His sister is in a relationship with a member of the Liknes family.
DC relents and will allow Superman logo on statue By Allison Jones
CANADIAN PRESS
— known for a Glenn Gould bronze statue in Toronto and a bronze of Oscar Peterson outside the National Arts Centre in Ottawa — designed it with Jeffrey standing on a bench, wearing a Superman costume like he did one Halloween. DC Entertainment initially refused Boyce permission to use the logo on the memorial, but gave Boyce the OK on Wednesday, July 9, two days after the Canadian Press first reported the denial. “I think they received a lot of backlash from their fans . . . “They described it as a maelstrom of fan uprising,’’ Boyce said, adding a DC executive told him they received very hateful messages.
person out there that doesn’t feel for young, vulnerable children and the type of tragedy that affected him.’’ DC released a statement saying that, after verifying the support of appropriate family members, they will allow the Jeffrey Baldwin memorial statue to feature the Superman “S’’ logo. “We are honoured by the relationship that our fans have with our characters and fully understand the magnitude of their passion,’’ the company said in its statement. “We take each request seriously and our heartfelt thoughts go out to the victims, the family and those affected. DC Entertainment uses a flexible set of criteria when we receive worthy requests such as this and, at times, have reconsidered our initial stance.’’ Jeffrey’s grandparents are now serving life sentences for second-degree
murder after locking him for long stretches in a cold room, fetid with
his own waste, and so severely starving him that when he died just
shy of his sixth birthday, his weight was that of a 10-month-old infant.

TORONTO — DC Entertainment has reversed an unpopular decision that generated backlash, agreeing to allow the Superman logo to be used on a memorial statue of a Toronto boy who was starved to death. Five-year-old Jeffrey Baldwin died in 2002 after being severely neglected by his grandparents, but a coroner’s inquest last winter into his death caught the attention of Ottawa resident Todd Boyce. Boyce was moved by Jeffrey’s plight and raised money to build a statue of the boy. He was especially affected by testimony from the boy’s father that in happier times Jeffrey loved Superman and wanted to fly just like the superhero. The statue’s artist, Ruth Abernethy
“They had struggled with this decision before but, based on the response that they’ve received, they’ve come around to reversing it.’’ Boyce was surprised by the amount of attention the DC decision received, saying he got calls from friends in the United States and the United Kingdom after seeing the story picked up there. “There’s the whole David vs Goliath factor — the little person taking on the big corporation — which I didn’t really feel like I was doing,’’ he said. “I just asked them and they gave me an answer and kind of left it at that.’’ Of course, there’s Jeffrey himself, Boyce said. “He’s a Toronto boy, but what he represents is sort of worldwide,’’ he said. “I don’t think there’s any compassionate

Legend growing throwing talent By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
A
NATOLIY Bondarchuk bludgeoned away, attempting to reshape a disfigured piece of metal. He peered up occasionally through the National Throws Centre cage inside the Tournament Capital Centre, uttering advice gruffly in broken English to one of his disciples. The 74-year-old Ukrainian, unaware there would be media presence at the training session, dropped his mallet and mumbled something in his native tongue when his grandson, Oleg, told him it was time for an interview. He seemed inconvenienced, shuffling over to KTW with a deadpan look on his face. His demeanour transformed when the parlance began. Bondarchuk’s blue eyes lit up when asked about coaching fledgling athletes and his laugh was infectious. He joked about wishing he was younger and more beautiful, pausing occasionally to yell stern instruc-
tions toward the throws cage, and commented on everything from periodization to performance-enhancing drugs. “I met him for the first time when I was 15 and he scared the bejesus out of me because I couldn’t understand him and he’s a big, scary Russian guy who yells at people,” said Adam Keenan, a hammer thrower who moved to Kamloops from Victoria in April of 2011 to train with Bondarchuk. “It’s the way he coaches. It’s the Soviet influence. It’s direct. It’s not out of frustration. It’s the language barrier. It’s his coaching style.” It works. Bondarchuk was born in 1940 in Starokostiantyniv, Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union, and went on to win gold in hammer throw for the Soviets at the 1972 Munich Olympics, one of a multitude of international triumphs He is now widely regarded as the best throws coach in the world, having consistently proven he can turn great athletes like Kamloops shot-putter Dylan Armstrong into stars on the global stage.
KAMLOOPS
Perhaps most notably, he coached twotime Olympic champion and current hammerthrow world-record holder Yuri Sedykh of Russia. He set the bar at 86.74 metres. Keenan is the latest example of what happens when Bondarchuk — known as “Dr. B,” with a PhD in pedagogical science — gets his moulding mitts on young talent. The hammer thrower, now 20, arrived in the Tournament Capital three years ago boasting a personal-best throw of 52m. On June 29, he won a silver medal at the Canadian Track and Field Championships in Moncton with a toss of 68.49m. “The more I worked with him, the easier he was to understand,” Keenan said. “I have faith in him. I trust him.” Keenan didn’t just win gold at the 2013 Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Que., he blew away the field and broke the event’s old record — set by Armstrong in 2001 — with a heave of 65.96m. The second-place finisher threw 58.59m. X See KEENAN A17

Armstrong to get hands on one bronze, waiting for another STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Dylan Armstrong of Kamloops will finally get his hands on the bronze medal he won at the 2010 International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Indoor Championships in Qatar. He will receive the hardware tonight (July 10) at the Vancouver Sun Harry Jerome Track Classic. Rob Guy, president of Athletics Canada, will present the medal. Armstrong, 33, finished fourth that year in Qatar, but Belarusian athlete Andrei Mikhnevich, who finished second, was caught for doping after a re-testing of samples collected at the 2005 World Championships. He was banned for life in June of 2013 by the IAAF. Mikhnevich was stripped of the silver
medal and Armstrong moved into third place. Armstrong is expected to receive a retroactive bronze medal from the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing, but the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has not yet banned Mikhnevich. The Belarusian claimed bronze at the Beijing Olympics, beating Armstrong by one centimetre. “Unfortunately, things like this do take tons of time. It’s a waiting game,” the shot putter from Kamloops said on Dec. 5. “But, I’m on them [the IOC].” It’s up to the IOC to make it official — take the Olympic hardware from Mikhevnich and hand it over to Armstrong. “The Canadian Olympic Committee is in communication with the IOC,” Armstrong said in December.

“I have been pretty patient because I know there has been people in my position before and it’s taken a while for them.” Canadian crosscountry skier Beckie Scott had to wait nearly two-and-a-half years before receiving her 2002 Olympic gold medal after the original gold and silver medallists were disqualified. However, it took just four months for American shot putter Adam Nelson to wear
his Olympic gold after Athens 2004 champion Yuriy Bilonog of Ukraine was caught doping. Judy Armstrong, Dylan’s mother and president of the Kamloops Track and Field Club, said her “feeling is it will be a while” before her son wears the 2008 Olympic bronze around his neck. Injury has plagued Armstrong throughout the 2014 season.

Keenan sets sights on 2016 Olympics X From A15
Keenan placed first at the 2012 Canadian junior championships in Winnipeg, setting an event record in the process. The scary thing is he would likely be ahead of where he is now if injury setbacks — a bad back and a broken wrist — hadn’t hampered his progression in 2013. Moving away from Vancouver Island has paid dividends for the Lambrick Park secondary graduate, who qualified to compete for Canada at the North American Central American Caribbean (NACAC) U23 Athletics Championships, which run from Aug. 8 to Aug. 10 in Kamloops. Having excelled at every level, Keenan said the event next month is another stepping stone toward bigger things, such as the world championships and Olympics. Bondarchuk has led many athletes to the world’s biggest stages, including NTC products Armstrong, shot-putter Justin Rodhe, hammer-thrower Sultana Frizell and hammer-thrower Kibwe Johnson, each of whom participated at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London. Johnson recently finished atop the podium with a throw of 74.16m at the U.S Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Sacramento.
KIBWE JOHNSON: “Working with Dr. B is pretty much the greatest experience you could ever have.”
The up-and-coming Canadian athletes in the NTC stable include Timothy Nedow of Brockville, Ont., Taryn Suttie of Hanley, Sask., and Nolan (Trey) Henderson of Vancouver. At nationals in Moncton, Nedow threw 20.60m and won gold in shot put, Suttie won silver in women’s shot put with a throw of 16.48m and Henderson won bronze in men’s hammer throw with a 67.28-m toss. “Working with Dr. B is pretty much the greatest experience that you could ever have,” said Johnson, who hurled the hammer 79.63m to win gold at the 2011 Pan American Games in Mexico. “It’s not lost on me the fact that I can have a conversation with him on a daily basis. Some of the time I feel like I should be taking notes. The guy has forgot-
ten more than I’ll ever know.” Through grunts, groans, hand motions and monosyllabic words, Bondarchuk continues to produce results. “My face looks always angry, but I’m not angry inside,” said Bondarchuk, with Oleg translating. “It is a teaching style. The first time, if you didn’t understand, the second time I’m going to say it a little louder and louder the next few times.” There is much more to Bondarchuk’s technique than raising the tone of his voice. He is a noted author, his signature work being Transfer of Training, and is considered a master of periodization, the systematic planning of training to ensure athletes peak at the most important competitions. The Kamloops Track and Field Club brass figured it might be a prank when someone named Anatoliy Bondarchuk applied for a job in 2004. It turned out he had a daughter and son in Calgary and knew of a young prospect named Dylan Armstrong. It was no joke. “He’s been instrumental,” said Keenan, who has his eyes set on the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Brazil. “The guy is a legend.”
Coup for Kamloops to have Bondarchuk in town
A
NATOLIY Bondarchuk’s story has been told before, but it’s worth re-hashing how crazy it is to have him here in Kamloops. This is a guy who won gold medals in hammer throw at both the Olympic and European Games. He has also claimed Olympic and European bronze. Bondarchuk held the world record in men’s hammer from October 1969 to September 1971. He is the most revered throws coach on the planet. In 1976, he was awarded the Soviet Union’s Order of the Red Banner of Labour, established to honour great deeds and services to the Soviet state and society in the fields of production, science, culture, literature, the arts, education, health and
gruff-looking exterior. If you spot him working with athletes just across the street from Hillside Stadium, go watch for a few minutes. It’s amazing to see
how he manages to communicate with his pupils. Who knows what the future of the National Throws Centre will look like when he’s gone. It’s just cool to have him here now.
MARTY HASTINGS The Tattle of Hastings other spheres of labour activities. Four years earlier, he earned the Soviet Union’s Order of the Badge of Honour. Somehow, he wound up right here in the Tournament Capital, which, thanks to his presence, has become a sought-out destination for some of the world’s best throws athletes. Bondarchuk’s blastfrom-the-past personality only adds to the intrigue, his quite-affable personality camouflaged by a thick eastern European accent and

She was the last living member of her immediate family of Janna and Eivind Urvold (parents), Ellen (Edgar) Kinvig and Harold (Eileen) Urvold (siblings)
March 8, 1953 - July 3, 2014
Dodie, as she was known by her family, was predeceased by her daughter Alexis and mother Glenice.
Raising her family, farming and having an egg sales route in Kamloops in the ‘60’s and 70’s was a fulfilling life for her. Many will remember her as “The Egg Lady”. She took her RN refresher course in 1972, and returned to nursing to finance her many travels throughout the world. The years working on 1 South at RIH were very rewarding times for Hazel. She was also very active with the Woman’s Institute, starting a new group “Vinsulla WI” in the 50’s. She felt fortunate to travel attending world conferences of the Associated Country Women of the World, to England and South Africa, as well as Vancouver and Lennoxville, Quebec. She was a life member in ACWW, as well as Vinsulla WI and Sons of Norway, which she was also a chartered, and life member. She was very proud of the fact that the WI started the British Columbia’s Children’s Hospital. Hazel’s love of travelling and interest in the lives of others took her to Australia, New Zealand, China, Europe and South Africa. Together with her husband she toured Canada and Western USA in the 1966 Ford truck and camper. She made numerous trips to Norway to visit relatives. She also visited friends she met in her travels in the UK. Her love of gardening showed in her ever increasing number and size of flower beds! She also was an avid cross country skier, hiker and photographer. She enjoyed her bridge group, although she participated more for the social benefits than the seriousness of the game! She spent many hours canvasing her neighbours for donations for the Cancer and Heart and Stroke funds. Our home was always welcoming to visitors, with a hearty meal of moose meat and potatoes waiting. The family would like to thank the staff of Pinegrove Care facility for the kind and loving atmosphere and care they provided for her final months. Special thanks go to Theresa, Wendy and Jocelyn for the kind and compassionate care. A celebration of her life will be held at the Heffley Creek Community Hall, July 19th at 11:00. For anyone with stories to share, there will be an open mic. Lunch will be served following the service.
Lillian grew up in Vancouver, 2nd eldest of 5 girls, who were not only her sisters but also loving friends. After the war, on April 27, 1946 she married her lifelong partner Alfred. Family and friends were Lillians’ passions and delights. She loved to host parties in her beautiful flower garden for visiting relatives. Always serving her homemade special cheese cakes and squares. Although Lillian was Scottish, she followed her husband and joined the Son’s of Norway Lief Erickson Lodge. She held the position of historian, winning awards for her crafted photo albums. Lillian is survived by her husband Alfred, sons John (Corey), Garry (Vivian), 5 grandchildren and 2 greatgrandchildren and daughter-in-law Carrie. Predeceased by her sons Albert and Bill. Special thanks to Marianne, Anneli and all the caregivers. Service to be held at a later date.
Left to mourn the loss is her father George Boehm, of Kamloops, sister Roma (Ted) of Winnipeg, brother Bob of Kamloops, brother Bill of Regina, daughter Mande, of Kamloops, five grandchildren, also her heart sister Christine McCuaig of Kamloops. She touched the lives and hearts of many and was always smiling and giving words of encouragement. The family wish to thank family doctor Doug Hamilton, the loving supportive staff at Marjorie Willoughby, Kamloops Hospice Association and Ponderosa Lodge. At her request cremation has taken place and no service will be held. Anyone wishing to honour DoraLynn’s memory may do so by donating to Kamloops Hospice Association, 72 Whiteshield Crescent S., Kamloops.

ARCHIBALD MCEACHERN PHILLIPS Born December 29,1921--- Died July 4, 2014 Archie was born in Kamloops, the youngest of five children. He was predeceased by his father just prior to his birth. He left school after Grade 8 to assist his widowed mother on the farm in Westsyde in Kamloops. At the age of 20, Archie joined the army, serving in WWII in the Calgary Tank Corp in Italy and Holland, during which time he contracted TB. Upon returning to Canada he spent 3 years recovering at the TB Sanitorium at Tranquille in Kamloops. While there, he completed his High School Diploma by correspondence. Upon his release from the TB San, he went on to complete a B.A. and a teaching degree from UBC, and later on, an M.Ed. at UVic. His teaching career spanned 30 years, mostly in Norkam Secondary School in Kamloops. He enjoyed a rich family life with his wife Joan, and four daughters – he always proclaimed his greatest joy and accomplishment in life was his family. He retired in 1983, when he and Joan moved out to Celista, Shuswap Lake, where he continued to pursue his passions of reading, philosophy, astronomy, carpentry, environmental issues, the local Naturalist Club, and eventually became an active member of the Anglemont Seniors Community. While in the north Shuswap, Archie – always an avid writer -- composed a hefty and fascinating book of memoirs, read and enjoyed by many family and friends. Archie most loved being engaged in lively discussion about matters of the universe and of the heart. In 2007, he and Joan moved to Salmon Arm, where they have enjoyed seven years of being part of this vibrant community. Archie leaves behind his loving wife, Joan of 58 years, and four adoring daughters, Maureen (Ted Brown), Wendy (Ted Sharples), Susan (Barry Durward), Debbie (Al Bates), as well as nine grandchildren who were the pride of his life: Jacob, Noah, James, Lucy, Jeremy, Aurora, Hannah, Rachel, and Teslyn. Also, many nieces and nephews, with each of whom he had a special relationship. The family wants to thank Dr. Currie and the Emergency Nursing staff at the Salmon Arm Hospital for their thoughtful support and care. A memorial celebration of Archie’s life will be held at a later date.

Special thanks to the staff on 4N and 3W and physicians at RIH who made her last few days comfortable and to the staff at Berwick who were with her one last time before she left to go back to the hospital for the last time. No service by request.

CINDY (CYNTHIA ANNE NATSUMI)
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. When there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may not so much Seek to be consoled, as to console; To be loved, as to love; For it is in the giving that we receive; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

FAITH
Camping quietly in summer with a hymn or two
F
OR PEOPLE of faith, summer camping might prove all the more invigorating with the Bible and a hymn book. As for the latter, a simple look into the origin of some well-known hymns would make their singing meaningful later on in the year. Almost all hymns of the Christian faith have originated from relevant backgrounds or from significant occasions or events. One such, Dear Lord and Father of Mankind, is no exception. Its writer, John Greenleaf Whittier, a Quaker, was reared in an environment in which his family was given to characteristic meditative silence. An obnoxious and noisy revival service in particular is said to have moved Whittier to write said poem wherein he
NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH painted the finest picture of true worship in five stanzas. It begins with “Dear Lord and Father of mankind, forgive our foolish ways! reclothe us in our rightful mind; in purer lives Thy service find, in deeper reverence praise.” No doubt the poet had in mind the story of the raving Gadarene demoniac, shouting and cutting his body with piercing stones (Mark 5:1-15). When he saw Jesus, he cried with a loud voice, “Jesus the Son of
the Most High God.” But, Christ did not accept his noisy demonic worship. He quietened him and then healed him. Stanza one is a plea for spiritual sanity instead of religious madness. Perhaps it’s a call to go deeper with the Lord, rather than being ostentatious with our religious activities. “In simple trust like theirs who heard, beside the Syrian sea, the gracious calling of the Lord, let us like them without a word rise up and follow thee.” This scene comes to us from Luke 5:1-11, depicting the desperate cries of Jesus’ fishermen followers: “Master, we toiled the whole night and have taken nothing.” Is this not a picture of many of our lives? We work for creature comforts and future security.
If we cannot make it by fair means, we are tempted to go into devious ways. In the frantic race of life, we often miss the very essentials — peace and rest. For the fishermen to leave behind two boats full of fish in order to follow Jesus was obviously unusual. Something extraordinary must have had happened to them. They were ready to gamble for something far beyond their livelihood. They were ready to embrace a new revelation. “O Sabbath rest by Galilee! O calm of hills above, where Jesus knelt to share with Thee, the silence of eternity, interpreted by love!” Silence often connotes to us aloofness or indifference. But, in this stanza, God the Son is communicating with his Father
in love and adoration. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard, yet the communication was full of meaning, love, and worship. “Drop Thy still dews of quietness till all our strivings cease; take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess, the beauty of Thy peace.” What the poet perhaps was trying to convey is that life is not a rat race of activities, seeking fame and popularity. In the race of life, many get stressed and hit mental breakdowns. God wants to relieve us from these and give us His peace. Jesus once said, “Come to me all that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” The Christian’s witness for God is an

Witnessing this event About 3,000 people are expected to be in Interior Savings Centre this month for a three-day Jehovah’s Witnesses convention. The event will begin on Friday, July 11, and run through Sunday, July 13. The theme of this year’s program is “Keep Seeking First God’s Kingdom!” “People of many faiths pray for God’s Kingdom. This convention will explain what that Kingdom is and how it can be a positive influence in our lives,” said Trevor Campbell, a convention spokesman. “A highlight of the program will be the keynote address on Friday morning, which will discuss how that Kingdom is benefitting people today,” Campbell said. “A core belief of Jehovah’s
Witnesses, based on biblical and historical evidence, is that Jesus Christ began to rule as the King of God’s Kingdom in 1914. The convention program marks this year as the centennial of that event.” Jehovah’s Witnesses are inviting all to attend. Locally, the Kamloops area’s seven congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses will be supporting the activity by distributing printed invitations to the convention. There is no admission fee. Conventions of Jehovah’s Witnesses are supported entirely by voluntary donations. Jehovah’s Witnesses in Canada plan to host 55 conventions in 24 locations. Worldwide, there are more than 7.9-million Witnesses in more than 113,000 congregations.

ordered life. “Breathe through hearts of our desire, Thy coolness and Thy balm; let sense be dumb, let flesh retire, speak through the earthquake, wind fire, O still small voice of calm!” Here is an illustration from the Old Testament story of Elijah (1 Kings 19:9-16). At Mount Carmel, he showed his zeal for God by calling down fire from heaven and slew 450 prophets of Baal. Following all the high-pressure activities, he suffered a breakdown and just wanted to die. He ran a marathon and hid himself in a cave fearing for his life. Then God revealed to him that He was not the tempestuous wind or the shattering earthquake or the devouring fire, but a still small voice. In that calm voice, God commanded Elijah how to undertake the

ministry of anointing kings. He asked him to find a successor to continue God’s ministry. God wants to speak to His followers as He did to Elijah. But, we will not be able to hear His voice if we are too busy for God! Whittier wrote, “Let flesh retire . . .” Activities without waiting upon God can prove to be carnal. He wants us to learn of Him first, to seek His mind, and to do His will. We should let the Spirit of God work through us, then surely we will build His kingdom. “Cease striving and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth” (Psalm 46:10). ryanmitra225@ yahoo.ca

he Kamloops Ambassador program won’t end for Julie Moray, Tess Russell or Tianna Trotta when they remove their crowns this weekend. Miss Kamloops and the two princesses will look to their experience when they get a flat tire, perhaps dance — even speak — at a wedding one day and in their future careers. “I was really shy,” Trotta, 18, said of herself before becoming a Kamloops princess. “I couldn’t really hold a conversation.” The program’s public-speaking course along with plenty of practice helped, she said, adding she has a new self-confidence that will help her on her way to becoming an educational support worker. Trotta, along with17-year-old Moray as Miss Kamloops and the other princess, 18-year-old Russell, will pass on their duties — and tiaras — as city ambassadors during the Miss Kamloops Pageant on Saturday, July 12, at Sagebrush Theatre. The annual event will mark both the opening and closing celebration for the program, designed to develop young women ages 16 to 18 into ambassadors for the Tournament Capital. Society president Teresa Dares, said it’s emotional after a year-and-a-half with the ladies. “I see it every year how the girls change,” she said. “That’s the emotional part for me.” Moray will return to school for Grade 12 at Valleyview secondary school next year, while Russell and Trotta will prepare for life after high school, having recently graduated. Russell wants to become a doctor and said the program allowed her to meet people during events, volunteer and travel throughout the province. “My mom was Miss Kamloops in 1981,” she said. “She said it was great for networking.” They also learn etiquette, Kamloops history, interviewing, mechanics, dance and modelling, though Dares made clear that it’s not a beauty pageant.

Program experience like saying goodbye to family X From B1
Russell said she may not have tried ballroom dance classes unless it was included in the program and Moray said the experience has taught her organization and professionalism. One thing they will all take away from the experience is time management â&#x20AC;&#x201D; between juggling an average of two to three events per week with the life of a busy high school student. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something they teach you in the program, Moray said. One thing the program didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prepare them for was saying goodbye after their time together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We almost have separation anxiety,â&#x20AC;? Moray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We consider ourselves a family,â&#x20AC;? Dares said. The Miss Kamloops Pageant begins at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 12, and is open to the public. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483 or kamloopslive.ca.

KAMLOOPS TEEN AT B.C. PAGEANT Natasha Trudell may not have come home with a crown, but the 17-year-old says her provincial pageant experience was one sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never forget. The Kamloops teen recently travelled to Langley, to compete among 50 hopefuls during the Miss B.C. Pageant. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the Miss B.C., Teen B.C. and Mrs. B.C. pageant program designed to develop young women. Contestants receive professional training in areas such as interviewing, modelling, etiquette, leadership, self-esteem and selfdefence. Judging is based on sportswear, evening gown, a private interview with the judging panel and a public, onstage interview in the final showcase. Trudell told KTW in an email that she learned a lot from the experience, with the interview and selfdefence portions the most valuable. Trudellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s platform promoted healthy selfesteem. She said she struggled with self-esteem growing up and she

Still two nights to take in Destination Mainstage Destination Mainstage, the annual provincial theatre festival for community theatre groups throughout B.C., is in the home stretch. Performances of plays continue tonight (July 10) and tomorrow night at Sagebrush Theatre, with the awards ceremony set
for the Kamloops Coast Hotel and Conference Centre on Saturday night. Sponsored by Theatre BC, Destination Mainstage is one of the longestrunning theatre traditions in Canada. The event is the culmination of winning plays from
Theatre BC zone festivals involving up to 10 zones throughout B.C. More than 60 community theatre clubs participate in zone festivals in April and May, with winners advancing to this week’s competition in Kamloops. Tonight, the Emerald Pig Theatrical
Society of Maple Ridge will perform The Attic, The Pearls and Three Fine Girls. The play will begin at 8 p.m., with public adjudication to follow. On Friday, July 11, the Fred Skeleton Theatre Company of Kelowna will perform Red.
Arnott’s seven collections of poems have covered diverse subjects, much of her recent work tackles themes of motherhood. “It’s really cool because you don’t really deal with that a lot in a poetry, particularly in Aboriginal poetry,” he said. On July 17, Victoria’s Niska Napoleon will bring her tour for her first solo album, the Whiteflower EP, to the KAG, where Bose is hoping a special ingallery performance will allow Arbour to crank up the sound without disturbing the library patrons next door. Music and digital performance art are back in the galley on July 24, when Bracken Hanuse Corlett and Dean Hunt present a workshop on DJing, music and concert visuals. “That’ll be spinning, getting kids on decks,
and I’m going to bring in a couple of instruments,” said Bose. Corlett, who is the collective’s artist in residence for the summer, will break down the basics of mixing video on the spot to create visuals to accompany the sounds. The festival wraps up on July 31 with a reading and workshop with Mohawk poet and poet laureate of
Victoria Janet Rogers. “She’s an amazing spoken word artist,” Bose said. “She brings it. So she’s going to do a workshop on how to work with an audience and command an audience, and rhythmic timing of your work, memorization.” All festival events are free of charge and open to all ages. Pre-registration is not required.
Destination celebration, on Friday, July 11, is Mexico’s Day of the Dead, also at The Old Courthouse from 10:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. For more information, go online to tbcmainstage.ca

Aboriginal Collective at gallery through July It’s billed as a literary festival, but the latest month-long celebration of the arts from the Arbour Aboriginal Artists Collective is about so much more than the printed word. Every Thursday night in July at the Kamloops Art Gallery (KAG), the collective will host a different aboriginal artist for a free reading, workshop or concert. With a lineup that includes Victoria’s poet laureate and a Cree folk-rocker embarking on her first tour with a new band, the festival highlights “what’s hot in aboriginal country,” said organizer Chris Bose. Each event runs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and is free to participants of all ages. Up next on the schedule is Metis poet Joanne Arnott, who performs tonight (July 10). Bose said while

Paper maps, disposable cameras and a stockpile of car toys were once essential for any family road trip. Today only 22 per cent of North Americans still use printed maps, relying instead on technology for directions, entertainment and more. The 2015 Buick LaCrosse, with built-in OnStar 4G LTE, is leading the way in this evolution of the family road trip, providing advancements in connectivity and passenger comfort. OnStar 4G LTE allows passengers to connect up to seven mobile devices, such as tablets, laptops and smartphones, to the vehicle’s built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. It works inside and around the vehicle, so everyone can stay connected at his or her favorite road trip stops. With the LaCrosse’s 4G LTE connection, families can plan their route from the road and upload photos and videos from the car. OnStar’s 4G LTE and Wi-Fi hardware are standard on the new LaCrosse. According to Strategy Analytics, 74 per cent of tablets sold this year will be Wi-Fi only. Additionally, as many as 91 per cent of all tablets used in North America, including those enabled for cellular connections, will be used as Wi-Fi only. OnStar’s 4G LTE will be available on the LaCrosse, Buick Verano, Regal, and Encore for the 2015 model year and will be available on all Buick products for the 2016 model year.
Audi will bring Apple tech to new models
Audi will begin offering Apple CarPlay, the smarter, safer and more fun way to use iPhone in the car, in allnew models scheduled to arrive in Europe next year and in Canadian showrooms by 2016. CarPlay will integrate with Audi’s builtin controls, including the innovative Audi MMI touch system, as well as dial controls and voice controls to easily activate Siri. This gives Audi drivers a variety of ways to minimize distraction on the road while accessing their iPhone to make calls, use Maps, listen to music and send or receive messages. In CarPlay-equipped models, Audi motorists will simply connect their iPhone to begin using their apps through
the car’s native controls. Drivers also have the option to easily switch from the CarPlay view and the Audi infotainment functions as desired. The addition of CarPlay shows the commitment Audi maintains to give its drivers a broad array of choices in automotive electronics. Audi also has a proven track record of integrating access to mobile devices in its vehicles while focusing first on avoiding distractions for drivers.

Detroit man reunited with stolen ‘Vette 33 years later
George Talley and his prized 1979 Chevrolet Corvette were reunited at General Motors’ world headquarters recently, just three miles from where the car was stolen from him 33 years ago. Talley, 71, last saw his Corvette when it was parked on Jefferson Avenue in 1981. On June 13, more than 30 years later, Talley received a call from AAA informing him his car had turned up in Hattiesburg, Miss. “It was a lucky day to hear that my car had been found,” Talley said. “They told me it was running, had 47,000 miles on it and was ready for me to pick up.”
Talley, a Corvette fan since he saw his neighbor’s first-generation ‘Vette in the 1950s, was fortunate to own three more Corvettes, but the ’79 was always his favorite. Talley’s luck continued when Mark Reuss, executive vice president for GM Product Development, heard his story on the news and offered to ship the car home to Detroit. “George’s story brought a smile to my face,” Reuss said. “As a longtime Corvette owner myself, I know the passion the car inspires. “I also knew that car belonged home in Detroit, with its rightful owner, and we could make that happen.”
George Talley is shown reacting to the return of his 1979 Corvette 33 years after it was stolen.

100 years and counting for Dodge The Dodge brand is tearing into its centennial year as North America’s mainstream performance brand. The company celebrated its 100th anniversary on July 1. With the purification of the brand and consolidation with SRT, Dodge is getting back to its performance roots with every single model it offers. The consolidated Dodge and SRT brands will offer a complete lineup of performance vehicles that stand out within their own segments. Dodge is the “mainstream performance” brand within the Chrysler showroom. SRT is positioned as the “ultimate performance” halo of the Dodge brand, together creating a complete and balanced performance brand with one vision and one voice.

Engineers at General Motors’ new brake testing facility know the differences between moans, squeal, grinds, groans and grunts. Now, with a new brake chassis dynamometer, they can simulate braking in weather conditions that range from Alaska to a tropical island. With the new facility opened earlier this year, GM vehicles can now take up to 1,900 stops in 2.5 days compared with 1,000 stops in two weeks using previous testing methods. The result is a quiet braking experience that customers associate with a quality vehicle. The new dynamometer was developed in conjunction with supplier Link Engineering. The state-of-theart facility can run 24 hours a day, simulate underbody airflow, and change temperatures and humidity. The 14,000-squarefoot development facility is located at the GM Proving Ground in Milford, Mich. The test chamber is padded with jag-

F YOU LOVE Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, eclectic art and poetry, you need to drive to Lytton and visit the home of artist Kenny Glasgow. His art is inspired by his writing. His living quarters are attached to his garage and it is there where he sits down in front of his journal and jots down his thoughts. He then transforms his writing into works of art to display in his yard. An excavator by trade, Glasgow dreams of the day he wins the lottery so he can hire three full-time people to help him create all the works of art bursting from his mind. Glasgow has been creating works of art for more than 14 years. “You always keep doing things you feel you are good at and I feel I am good at it, so I will keep doing it,” he said. Glasgow’s greatest work to date is the huge Harley that draws visitors from all over B.C. The largest of three motorbikes on display (the first is 1.5 times scale, the second is two times scale), this masterpiece is three times larger than the motorbike that inspired it and took three years to build. Since bike parts don’t come in this size, Glasgow had to build all parts from scratch. At first, he was only going to build the front end of a bike and bolt it to a tree to look like a Harley ran through it, but his brother and good friend kept bringing him more parts, encouraging him to build the entire bike. Glasgow thought this
was an impossible mission, but he didn’t want to let them down, so he figured he would at least give it a try. When the first bike turned out better than he could have imagined, Glasgow garnered enough enthusiasm to attempt a double-sized creation.

THE
GREATHOG OF
FREEDOM While admiring the double-sized bike one day, the number three entered his mind. Believing there is something magic about that numeral, Glasgow set about building the 24-foot-long Great Hog of Freedom. Relying completely on word of mouth, the news of this remarkable creation spread like wildfire and, before he knew it, bikers from all over were coming to pay homage to the giant hog. The walls of Glasgow’s small library soon became filled with pictures of all his visitors. If you wander around his Cemetery of Life’s Qualities or the other masterpieces that decorate his yard, he’ll probably come out to meet you. If not, ring the bell in the church tower or

promises of great returns. Yes, come in. We can cry over yours as well, for it is only human to share.”
Travel writer Teresa Cline with Great Hog of Freedom creator Kenny Glasgow, who also came up with The Cemetery of Life’s Qualities (above).
How to get there
After driving to Lytton, turn off at the first exit and follow the signs for Lillooet on Highway 12. After crossing the bridge over the Thompson River, look for a United Gas station. Take the road to the right until you see a sign that says “Native Land, no trespassing.” Ignore the sign and continue up the road. Part way up the hill, you will come to a driveway with a 60-foot replica of a Winchester rifle over the gate.
