No EAO open house until 2015 Mine application will come first By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloops

When Kamloops city council asked the B.C. environmental assessment office (EAO) to hold a workshop explaining how it reviews industrial projects, the thinking at city hall was the sooner the better. The EAO disagrees. In a letter to council, EAO executive project director Scott Bailey said his organization doesn’t want to hold a public open house in Kamloops until 2015, when KGHM Ajax is due to submit an application for environmental review for its proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. That open house was already in the works before the city made its request and would be jointly run with the Canada Environmental Assessment Agency. Bailey said hosting an open house on the assessment process after KGHM has submitted an application would be more helpful to the public as the EAO will also be taking community comments on Ajax at the time. “I think this will help to ensure that the public is well-informed of the EA process, including the timing and purpose of the public comment period, and that they are able to submit meaningful comments,” he wrote. Bailey said he’s willing to come to council in the early fall and make a presentation on the mine-assessment process. While council requested as much in May, many on council were less enthusiastic about sitting through another EAO presentation themselves and felt a community meeting would be more helpful. The EAO came under fire last week when opponents of the mine accused the provincial office of attempting to “fast track” Ajax’s assessment. While KGHM announced changes to its site plan this past spring, including a move from dry stack to wet tailings, the EAO said it is unlikely it will accept more public comments on the mine until KGHM submits an application for environmental review. In his letter, Bailey said he expects the application-information requirements for the mine — the studies it must conduct and information it must provide to be considered for an environmental permit — will change as a result of KGHM’s site reconfiguration. A Ministry of Environment spokesperson told KTW it is unlikely the number or type of studies required will change, “but that studies will need to be conducted in new locations to coincide with the revised locations of project components.” The Kamloops Area Preservation Society has argued changes to the information requirements should trigger a new public-comment period, unless the province is trying to “rubber stamp” the mine.

Scorching temperatures bring campfire ban to region By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

An extended dry spell that brought temperatures within a hot breath of an all-time record on the weekend will take the spark out of camping in much of B.C.’s Interior. The provincial wildfire management branch issued a campfire ban beginning Wednesday, July 16, for the entire Kamloops Fire Region. It comes following a high temperature of 40.7 C recorded at Kamloops Airport on Sunday, July 13— just slightly off an absolute record of 41 C set on July 19, 1944 at the airport.

Sunday did hit a record for July 13. (A higher absolute record of 42.2 C was reached at the former Agricultural Research Station on Ord Road, but records have not been kept there since 1982.) Soaring temperatures are the result of a high pressure system across southern B.C. that is expected weaken from a Pacific flow by mid-week, said Environment Canada meteorologist Allan Coldwells. Those temperatures have dried out forests, pushing danger class ratings past thresholds considered safe for campfires. Temperatures are expected to reach 39 C today (July 14) and Wednesday

— which will also set records — followed by possibility of showers on Thursday and temperatures falling to about 30 C later in the week. The mercury has been pushed to 40C at the airport less than 10 times in the past 50 years. Several large fires are burning in Northern B.C. The closest fire of any significance to Kamloops is east of Vernon. More than 40 firefighters are working the blaze in a remote area. Those include ground and air crews. But, it’s the possibility of fires much closer to homes that caused the branch to issue the edict.

Incoming doctors committed to staying in city By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

While three of six family physicians coming here this year are locums — doctors filling in for holiday and other forms of relief — all of them are committed to remaining in Kamloops, the head of a family doctors’ organization told KTW. The Thompson Division of Family Practice said the six new physicians will practise in Kamloops, half of them as locums. Dr. Shirley Sze, who heads the local chapter of the group, said all have committed to practising here, with three taking up practices of physicians who have moved

or recently retired. “Doctors interested are going to different offices,” Sze said. “They’re allowed to look at things and say, ‘This is where I fit and would like to go.’” Sze said the locum work is critical to the functioning of established family practices, allowing those doctors to go on holiday or attend conferences. “They’re coming here to stay,” she said. “They’ve purchased homes in Kamloops. They’re not going anywhere else. They’re feeling things out.” Three of the physicians coming have worked in Kamloops previously. The recruitment effort is done by the Thompson Region Division of Family Practice, which is gearing up

to establish a wait list for patients in the fall. The group estimates 30,000 people in Kamloops and the outlying region are without a family doctor, up to 60 per cent wanting one and the remainder content with walk-in clinics. Even with the latest recruitment, the city and region are short about 15 family physicians. Sze said those without a family doctor who have complex, chronic illness are encouraged to contact the Thompson Division of Family Practice, but she cautioned the office is not ready to be swamped with calls. By fall, the group expects to have a staff member who can deal with a larger wait list and begin matching patients with new physicians in Kamloops.

The Dunes tries again with ALC

The owner of The Dunes golf course will try again to have some of the land near the course excluded from the Agricultural Land Reserve. North Core Development Ltd. wants to remove 4.6-hectares of land between the course and Westsyde Road, just north of the Westlinks development. North Core is also proposing to designate Dunesberry Farm and another 5.1 hectares of land to the north of the course as agricultural lands if the ALR agrees to the exclusion. According to a report headed to city council today (July 15), the excluded land would eventually be

Surrey senior dies while at Paul Lake

Police have ruled out foul play in the death of a vacationing 84-year-old Surrey man who fell ill while swimming at Paul Lake over the weekend. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said the man was swimming in the lake on the afternoon of Saturday, July 12, when he became ill and called to the shore for help. Bush said the man “became unable to swim” was removed from the water by bystanders. An air ambulance took him to Royal Inland Hospital, where he died later the same day. “There is nothing suspicious related to the death,” Bush said. The BC Coroners Service is now investigating.

developed residentially, though North Core has not yet submitted a development application nor applied for a rezoning for the property. City staff are encouraging council to forward on North Core’s plans to the Agricultural Land Commission, to determine if the exclusion will jibe with Kamloops’ new agricultural-area plan. If the ALC agrees to exclude the land and North Core moves ahead with a residential project, the city would then hold a public hearing on the project. North Core last attempted to have land taken out of the ALC in 2012, but was denied by the ALC.

Lawyers launch action in legal-aid dispute By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops lawyers are part of provincewide job action this month aimed at increasing funding for legal aid. Across B.C., lawyers have agreed to blackout dates — meaning no hearings or trials, unless they’ve been scheduled long in advance — indefinitely, until government increases funding for legal services. The current blackout runs from July 5 to Aug. 8. Then, beginning on Oct. 6, lawyers will black out one week per month. Lawyer Michelle Stanford, the Kamloops representative on the B.C. Legal Aid Action Committee, said the

money is a long time coming. “We want the government to invest in legal aid,� she said. “And it has to be stable. “It costs the government more money to have people represent themselves, which is what’s happening now.� Duty counsel and legal aid will not be available for the blackout weeks, which means those in need of free legal advice will be out of luck — something Stanford hopes will send a message to Victoria. Stanford said lawyers want the government to take the PST it collects on legal fees — about $12 million each month — and put it back into the courts by

A Kamloops man accused in the bungled holdup last month of a North Shore Chinese restaurant was arrested thanks to a prominent neck tattoo — one depicting cartoon character Stewie Griffin. That’s what court heard on Monday, July 14, as Devon James Lynn was denied bail in Kamloops provincial court. Crown prosecutor Will Burrows alleges Lynn, 20, was hanging out on Tranquille Road on the morning of June 30 — first inside the Robo Esso and later eating lunch at the Dynasty Garden Chinese restaurant across the street. After eating a buffet meal, Burrows said, Lynn approached a 13-year-old boy working the restaurant’s till and whispered, “You need to empty the cash register.� When the boy yelled out to his older sister for help, court heard, Lynn pepper-sprayed both of them. Burrows said Lynn was busted thanks to witnesses who noticed a distinct tattoo on his neck — one of Family Guy character Stewie Griffin. Court heard Lynn told police he had been thinking about killing someone. “He stated that he wanted to go to jail,� Burrows said. “He said he had a lot of stuff going on and he was very angry, and if he hadn’t snapped in there [the restaurant], it would have been somewhere else and he would have killed someone.� Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame called the allegations against Lynn “disturbing� and denied him bail. He’s expected back in court next month.

“At this point, the plan is indefinite. If this message isn’t heard, then there’s always room for escalation.�

“The money is there. It’s just the government doesn’t have the view of how important legal services are,� she said.

Stanford said job action will continue until the government puts more money into legal services.

Horgan: Take former CEO to court Stories by Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

NDP Leader John Horgan said the B.C. Liberal government should take former B.C. Lottery Corporation CEO Michael Graydon to court in a bid to get back bonus money paid to him after he was found to be in a conflict of interest. Horgan, in Kamloops on the weekend, said response from both the B.C. Liberal government and the local chairman of the BCLC to a finding conflict of interest by Graydon is inadequate. “Go to court,” Horgan told KTW on Sunday, July 13. “If government can take the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, 40,000 citizens, to court . . . then surely to goodness they can make Mr. Graydon prove we owe him any money.” A report commissioned by the the prov-

ince found Graydon was in a conflict of interest when he negotiated with a private gaming company for two months before informing the BCLC board he was leaving. The province’s gaming and enforcement branch is also investigating Graydon’s activities in his new role with a company that wants to develop a $500-million casino next to B.C. Place Stadium in downtown Vancouver. Kamloops businessman and former Social Credit cabinet minister Bud Smith joined the BCLC board in May 2012 and was appointed chairman in August 2013. He declined comment for this story, referring a reporter to the Crown corporation’s public-relations department. Smith has thus far only issued a comment via an official statement on the BCLC site, on which he said, in part, “The board made decisions on the handling of Mr. Graydon’s resignation based on the

information he provided to us at the time. The review shows that the information provided by Mr. Graydon to the board and BCLC was incomplete and/or inaccurate.” “Mr. Smith came in late in the day . . . I think Mr. Smith should have more than just, ‘I didn’t have all the facts’ response,” Horgan said. While there have been no repercussions thus far, Horgan said his NDP opposition will pursue the government and wants Graydon to pay back bonuses. “It appears no one wants to be accountable for this man.” Despite his desire for the province to pursue Graydon in court, Horgan said he’s been advised the chances of success are small based on reading of labour law. “Let’s take Mr. Graydon to court and see how far we get.” Graydon received a payout of $125,000 for holiday pay and performance bonuses.

”

“Their view is that this is an opportunity to negotiate. With regard to West Fraser and Tolko . . . they’ve already been meeting.” Paul Quinn, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets, wrote a recent research note warning the unanimous decision by the Supreme Court of Canada to allow the Tsihqot’in to dictate logging and other industrial activity on their traditional lands may squeeze lumber supply in B.C. Earnings from major forest companies operating in this province are at risk, he warned. Observers have said the ruling changes rights to harvest resources on public lands, giving First Nations an ownership

stake with a far lesser need to prove traditional use. “We believe that the impact of this decision could eventually be equal to that of the mountain pine beetle,” Quinn wrote in the research note. But, Horgan said, based on his meetings with First Nations leaders, that opinion is “provocative and beyond what reality will produce.” The NDP leader believes little will change in the short term but, over a longer term, it can bring certainty and business and revenue-sharing deals will prevail. “I think, over the long term, everyone will benefit from this — communities, aboriginal and non-aboriginal, companies,”

Horgan said. “It will assist to understanding where we can go. Some are speculating a negative outcome; some are speculating a positive outcome. I prefer to stay on the positive.” The decision will also have major impacts on proposed pipelines from Alberta. Horgan said he doesn’t believe the decision means the end of Kinder Morgan’s proposed twinning of the Trans Mountain pipeline, but it may prove fatal to Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway, which his party opposes. “I think Kinder-Morgan is a different kettle of fish because there’s an existing right-ofway,” he said.

If government can take the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, 40,000 citizens, to court . . . then surely to goodness they can make Mr. Graydon prove we owe him any money. — B.C. NDP LEADER JOHN HORGAN

” ‘Everyone will benefit’ from Supreme Court decision Despite an analyst warning that a court decision on aboriginal title could have dire consequences for the province’s forest industry, B.C. NDP Leader John Horgan remains optimistic business deals can be arranged between First Nations, government and industry. Horgan said he has met with Tsihqot’in representatives, including one of the First Nations leaders who pushed the land rights decision to the Supreme Court of Canada, as well as with Carrier-Sekani officials, following the decision in late June. “They’re very reasonable people. They’ve been patient, as well,” Horgan said.

New pullout to increase highway safety

Highway 5A south of Kamloops gets a $950,000 addition for CVSE, truck drivers By Andrea Klassen

Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone takes break measurements during a mock inspection at the new Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement pullout built 12 kilometres south of Kamloops on Highway 5A. Andrea Klassen/KTW

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It won’t look like much more than some extra asphalt by the side of the road, but the provincial government says a new $950,000 pullout south of Kamloops on Highway 5A should quell fears about truck traffic on the road. The pullout is 12 kilometres south of the city on the southbound side of the highway. Transportation Minister and Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone said the space will “provide a really important safety hub” for Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) officers who are conducting inspections of trucks. It will also double as a resting spot for truck drivers who need to pull over and take a break. Truck traffic on Highway 5A was a major concern of Stone’s Kamloops predecessor, Kevin Krueger, who tried unsuccessfully many times to have commercial truck traffic banned on the road, and speed limits reduced for local truck traffic. “Some of these guys

look at and ask questions about whether commercial truck traffic should be on them,” he said. Mitchell Zulinick, a director with the B.C. Trucking Association, said he welcomes the new pullout, and believes it will make the 5A safer for motorists. “It’s absolutely making the highway safer, because it’s making it safer for inspection officers, it creates more

[truck drivers] are just crazy,” Krueger told KTW in 2010, after a series of accidents between Merritt and Kamloops led to one of his several attempts at a ban. “They’re driving too fast. They’re crashing their rigs into each

other and, worse yet, they’re crashing their rigs into people who have nothing to do with the way they’re driving.” Stone said the government’s pullout, coupled with and increased CVSE and other improvements to

signage, are his preferred way of improving road safety without impacting the trucking industry’s ability to move goods through the province. “If we were to start banning truck traffic on particular corridors in this province, there are

pullouts for drivers, and it heightens inspections — which good companies will always tell you is a good idea,” he said. As of last summer, CVSE officers patrol Highway 5A 20 days of each month, up from 15 before that. Glenn Taylor, district CVSE manager, said inspectors do visual checks of 13 items, including a truck’s steering, tires, breaks, driver qualifications and hours on the road. Officers also have portable scales to weigh vehicles at pullouts. Taylor said the average inspector will conduct five or six inspections per day while on patrol.

On rural highways, speed limits catching up to traffic

“

FAST IS THE NEW SLOW,” declared one Toronto newspaper’s front page when the B.C. government announced it is increasing speed limits around the province. The headline picked up on Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s justification for raising limits on 35 stretches of rural B.C. highway. Stone referred to traffic studies that show portions of the highway system where the vast majority of drivers already travel at the new speeds. Stone emphasized that accident risk is not so much a function of speed, but of differences in speed between vehicles. That’s why the signs going up this summer will include a new warning for left lane hogs: “Keep Right – Let Others Pass.” For the first time, there is a 120 km/h limit on three segments of rural divided highway, parts of the Coquihalla, the Okanagan Connector and a stretch between Parksville and Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Having regularly driven up and down the B.C. Interior highway system for the past 30 years, I can confirm that particularly once you get “beyond Hope,” drivers do set the speed limit. In good conditions, it’s generally about 10 kilometres over the posted maximum, particularly in the long spaces between communities where resources to do regular speed enforcement simply don’t exist. Improvements in the road system, and the modern vehicles that

TOM FLETCHER Our Man In VICTORIA drive it, have been enormous. My last trip was in June, up the Fraser Canyon and on through the Cariboo to Prince George. The canyon offers some of the harshest roadbuilding conditions in Canada, but even portions of that cliff-hanging, rock-and-tunnel road are getting increases from 90 to 100 km/h. There are two common assumptions about this move. One is that increasing the speed limit means people will automatically drive faster. The other is that higher speeds mean more accidents, or at least more severe accidents. The government downplayed opposition to this change, which Stone signalled last fall when he launched the public consultation. Police agencies don’t like it. ICBC officials are skeptical, to say the least. ICBC’s latest rate increase was attributed mostly to cost pressure from higher injury payouts and it will be tracking the sections of higher speed limit to see if the number of severe accidents goes up. Speed wasn’t singled out when

interim ICBC boss Mark Blucher made the case for an increase of nearly five per cent on basic insurance last fall. One reason why claims for bodily injury, pain and suffering, future care and loss of earnings are going up is that more people are hiring lawyers. Another reason is distraction, not just from mobile devices, but also more pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas. Are drivers getting worse? A recent report out of Saskatchewan suggests they are. In 2013, only 48 per cent of new drivers in Saskatchewan passed their road test. The test hasn’t changed much in the past decade and there are more immigrants who aren’t accustomed to highway driving, North America style. But, a veteran driving instructor calls today’s new drivers “the weakest generation I’ve ever taught,” after they spent their formative passenger years watching TV or playing with game machines and other screens while on the road. “The awareness level isn’t where it was when I started 15 years ago,” Margot Podiluk told the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix. “Today’s generation, they’re so connected to electronic devices they don’t look out of car windows.” If raising speed limits is a mistake, accident statistics will soon tell the tale. My expectation is that on rural highways, speed limits are just catching up to the traffic. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Summer is great — let’s make it better Summer burst into its full glory this past week in Kamloops. Time to fire up the barbecue, head to the park and enjoy the sun. However, without becoming a total buzzkill, here are a couple of points that seem to need repeating every year. First: Be careful out there. Our park beaches and lakes are inviting on hot summer days and nights — and they are potentially deadly. Stronger than-anticipated currents and underwater snags can turn fun at the beach into a tragedy. And keep it alcoholfree. Water and booze simply do not mix, as some kayakers in Riverside Park discovered this past weekend. The summer sun is great, but remember it can also can be a killer. Don’t leave your pet in a vehicle for any reason, for any length of time. An open window and a bowl of water won’t help an animal trapped in a hot car. Remember, too, that the sun we miss so much during the winter packs a wicked punch. Recent reports indicate that instances of skin cancer remain high, despite years of warnings. So, if you’re going outside, even if the clouds creep in, wear some sunscreen. Second: Be respectful. The simple rule — pack it in, pack it out — seems lost on far too many people. Enjoy that early-morning coffee in the park, but don’t leave the empty cup on the bench for someone else to collect. And, speaking of which: If it’s your dog, what’s left behind is your responsibility. Kamloops is a great place to be in the summertime. A couple of simple rules can make it even better.

Editor: I disagree with Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Cathy McLeod’s letter of July 10 (‘MP stands by her government’s decision on Northern Gateway’): McLeod makes it sound as if the federal government has taken a neutral stand on the Northern Gateway pipeline and is accepting the best scientific advice in approving the project. Yet, for years, the Conservative government has been promoting the project. It had also established the scope of the joint review panel — to examine broadly the benefits while examining the risks and costs very narrowly. The government accepts scientific advice only if it says what the government wants to hear. This explains why the federal government continues to try to shut down world-class scientific research efforts like

Editor: It has been just over a year since the tragic death of local cyclist Richard McGillivray and many inside and outside of the cycling community have waited patiently for some sort of final assessment/charges/understanding of what happened near Rodeo Road just past Cherry Creek. We continue to ride past the location and think of what may have precipitated the collision between vehicle and bicycle and their respective operators. We also pause and pay respects at a memorial, which is worth seeing. A number of months ago, I wrote to Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s office about the need for more adequate shoulder space for cyclists and was told the issue would be passed on to someone who would presumably respond, but never did. Many months later, as

the Experimental Lakes Area, the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory and many others. Nor is this a simple decision of how the oil from the oilsands gets to the coast, as McLeod would have us believe. It is more a decision of if it should be delivered. The review panel did consider the risks of oil spills on B.C,’s north coast, but not in the context of a spill being totally unacceptable. Twenty-five years after the Exxon Valdez spill, the local herring fishery has not recovered and the region is still socially and economically devastated. Economically, one only has to compare oil development in Canada with that in Norway. In Norway, the first principle is to maximize jobs within the country. Norway has no pipelines that carry raw product out of the country.

Refining is done within Norway. And Norway receives five times the income per barrel of oil as does Alberta and Canada. That is why, unlike Canada, Norway is not cutting health care, education, postal services, or regulatory agencies like Environment Canada and Fisheries and Oceans. That is why Norway has a contingency fund of more than $900 billion. The federal government has to recognize climate change is here and needs to be addressed. Any money and resources going into major fossil-fuel infrastructure is money not going into renewable energy and energy conservation. And that is what any rational government would be promoting, not the Northern Gateway pipeline. Eli Pivnick Kamloops

This memorial is located near Cherry Creek to remember cyclist Richard McGillivray, who died last year on the highway when his bicycle and a vehicle collided.

we approach the Savona lookout hill on a ride toward Cache Creek, it is noticeable that new pavement looms darkly in the distance. This can be a happy sight for a road cyclist although, in this case, the traffic lanes are nicely refinished, but the shoulder remains the same and is covered with more gravel as a result. This seems to be almost disrespectful to the loss of a cyclist who, not far away, was travelling in an area with virtually no

shoulder for safety. Is it too much to ask that even a three-foot shoulder might be added? There is, for no apparent reason, a luxurious and roomy 12-foot shoulder in the Tobiano area and I’m not sure why that was deemed necessary. During the beautiful Cache Creek return ride, we saw several touring cyclists obviously in midjourney, including one from Japan, who were loaded down and trying to navigate the narrow and unswept shoulders as they headed to Kamloops

and points east. It would appear one more feather in our tourist-destination cap would be as a cycle touringfriendly province. We will not get that designation as long as the bare minimum needs of twowheelers are not met. During a meeting with a road-maintenance person a few years ago, I was advised road shoulders are expensive and, in the case of Highway 5A, they would be added when possible (this has never happened and it remains one of the most beautiful and dangerous rides around). I was also told he could not understand why we cyclists would want to ride on a highway to begin with. This is always a chal-

lenge to explain, as are many passions and activities that are not familiar to everyone, and I was probably not able to fully convey what attracts us to spin our bike tires over hill and dale. I hope he will someday understand. We continue to ride and to hope for improved life-saving changes that would see proper shoulders included with new roads, added to resurfaced ones and maintained to a safe level. Please recognize that we do not ride to create annoyance to a motorist and we hope that taking a few seconds to wait until it is clear to drive past us will not be a huge inconvenience. We also promise not to use electronic devices while we ride and hope all motorists will do the same — especially while pushing the limits of the new speed maximums. See you on the roads. Patrick C.

Rallying for summer support while letting CUPE staff work

Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association president David Komljenovic says summer rallies will be held to remind the public of the strike. Picketing schools, he said, would financially impact CUPE support workers. Dave Eagles/KTW

Editor: I appreciate letter writer Don Campbell’s perspective on the teachers’ strike (‘Back in the day, picketing a work site was a 24/7 activity,’ July 6), but he is missing the context of the story. The decision of teachers in the Kamloops-Thompson school district to organize rallies in the

community instead of picketing was made to ensure support staff represented by CUPE were not financially affected. For 13 days in May and June, support staff have stood with teachers on picket lines, supporting us and losing pay when the struggle was ours. Picketing summerschool sites when those programs were

cancelled would create inequities and greater financial hardship on colleagues from another union during a time when teachers would not normally receive pay. Despite this, we have and will continue to be active in the community, raising the profile of our struggle to ensure illegally stripped rights that guaranteed

Added security will only add to stress at schools

Editor: Re: (‘Enhanced security on way to SD73,’ July 10): I do not agree with the new measures being planned. I don’t believe there is a need for this and it will only create a more stifling/stressful environment for teachers and students. Robyn Haley Kamloops Editor: More teachers hired and smaller class sizes, especially in life-skills classes, would be a much better use of funds. When did a Sandy Hook event happen in Canada? Who gets the contract to install security shutters — any of Premier Christy Clark’s friends? This is side-stepping the issues behind the labour dispute between teachers and the government.

One day for historic crime STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The long arm of the law has finally caught up with a former B.C. contractor who more than 20 years ago fleeced a Kamloops homeowner for nearly $3,000 — and sentenced him to one day in jail. Michael John Comeau was convicted in 1994 of a now-obsolete charge alleging he scammed $2,900 from a homeowner while performing renovations. Before he could be sentenced, however,

it was repealed in 2004. The section under which Comeau was convicted dealt with “deceptive or unconscionable” acts in consumer transactions. Crown prosecutor Will Burrows said Comeau and another man “toured around the province” in the early 1990s scamming homeowners. He said Comeau served jail time for a separate conviction prior to fleeing B.C. Comeau voluntarily turned himself in to police in B.C. earlier this year, getting the

Crowds drank their way through 30 jugs of water supplied by the city at four stations — in addition to a lot of beer. “Back in the old days, in the ‘80s, I remember players collapsing on the field,” Padar said. “I think players are more educated now about staying hydrated and getting electrolytes.” The intense sun is also keeping golfers at the lake, rather than the links. Harold Simkin, the pro at Kamloops Golf & Country Club, said duffers are teeing up at 6:30 a.m. and are off the links by 11 a.m. After lunch, he said, “there’s a few out there, but not many.”

Todd Road to be TAKE improved, but when? YOUR Unsafe pedestrian conditions made Todd Road one of B.C.’s top 10 worst in 2013. Now, the City of Kamloops is looking for proposals to improve safety for cyclists and those navigating the Barnhartvale roadway on two feet. City council approved $750,000 for safety improvements on Todd Road in this year’s budget, but were told by staff that any work done may be torn up in a few years when the road is due for rehabilitation. A request for proposals for work on Todd Road appears to be weighing the pros and cons of making the improvements right away. Interested parties are being asked to provide the city with two proposals: One to construct a pedestrian shoulder between Ronde Land and Kalhanie Drive and a second that includes both the shoulder and road improvements, including some road reconstruction. “Evaluation of both of these options will provide Council with the necessary information to proceed with pedestrian improvements only, or full reconstruction of the road including accommodation for pedestrians at some point in the near future,� the project information states. The request for proposals closes on July 25.

Fentanyl suspected in downtown overdose death By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The fatal overdose of a woman in Kamloops believed to have been using fentanyl has the ASK (AIDS Society of Kamloops) Wellness Centre putting out a warning to drug users in the city. “We don’t know for sure what it was and we probably won’t for

some time, but we’ve got fentanyl on the street now, so that’s probably what it was,” said Ken Salter of ASK Wellness. The age and identity of the woman who overdosed on the morning of Friday, July 11, has not been made public. Salter said she was found at about 4 a.m. in the St. Paul Street area in downtown Kamloops. Fentanyl is a synthetic drug

being sold as heroin. Salter said it is much stronger and slow-acting, which can have disastrous consequences. Salter said he had one ASK Wellness client tell him about a recent experience with fentanyl, in which the user doubled his dosage after feeling no effects of what he thought was a hit of heroin. “He was lucky, because he

woke up on his kitchen floor six hours later,” Salter said. “He said he’s been using heroin for 35 years and that’s never happened to him.” Salter said reports of overdoses — many fatal — on fentanyl have been spiking in Montreal and Vancouver of late. “Now, it looks like it’s made its way up into the Interior,” he said. Salter urged heroin users to be

Lawyer argues against designation By Tim Petruk

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The spouse of a man the Crown wants classified as a dangerous offender testified his conviction for assaulting her was the first time Shane Jeurissen attacked her, something his lawyer said must be taken at face value. The Crown is asking B.C. Supreme Court Justice Kathleen Ker to label Jeurissen as a dangerous offender and send him to jail for an indeterminate sentence. While he has more than 100 convictions, many of them for failing to abide by court orders, the Crown is basing its sentencing argument on assaults against two of Jeurrisen’s girlfriends — a pattern it says makes him a danger to the public. But, defence lawyer Ray Dieno noted Jeurrisen’s domestic partner for 17 years and the mother of his child told the court his conviction for assault with a weapon against her

was his first attack on her. “Are we to take her at her word?” Dieno asked during his closing argument on Friday, July 11. “Does this indicate this is a domestic partner abuser who has to be put in jail for the rest of his life?” 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, Jeurissen pleaded guilty to assault for punching a different woman, causing injury to her face. Dieno said Jeurissen is not the kind of offender, for example, who stalks and sexually assaults women. “That would be a person highly dangerous in context of a dangerous offender

[application]. That’s not who Mr. Jeurissen is.” Ker has three options: Labelling Jeurissen as a dangerous offender and jailing him for an indefinite term; giving him a jail sentence of at least two years followed by a long-term supervision order in the community; or giving him a standard jail term with no special designation. The Crown has argued Jeurissen is not suitable for a supervision order in the community because of his long record of breaching court-ordered conditions. Jeurissen has been excluded from the courtroom, including from video appearances, based on his frequent outbursts. Experts say he has an anti-social disorder and is defiant to authority. His convictions include threatening police and jail guards. Ker is expected to render her decision at a later date.

cautious if they notice any abnormal textures or colours in their drug. The BC Coroners Service issued a warning on June 4, noting there have been 13 fentanylrelated deaths in the Fraser Health Authority region between Jan. 1 and April 30 of this year. In all of 2013, there were 12 such deaths in the same health region. In 2012, there were six.

KAYAKS, LIQUOR DON’T MIX Three males are lucky to have avoided tragedy after deciding to do some kayaking in the South Thompson River while inebriated. Kamloops RCMP Sgt. Joe Morrissey said bike-patrol officers were in Riverside Park at about 10 p.m. on Friday, July 11. There, park-goers told the Mounties they had found an overturned kayak and personal effects floating in the river. Morrissey said police determined three very drunk males had decided to kayak in the river near Riverside Park and became separated from one another. One male fell out of his kayak. Morrissey said Mounties, the RCMP’s police-dog service and Kamloops firefighters launched a search and found all three males, who were safe and in good health. “Police would like to remind the public during this busy summer that consuming alcohol and boating can be very dangerous,” Morrissey said.

Knifing into championship season STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

T SHOULD BE A BIG summer for the Kamloops Classic Swimming club in 2014. The Classics have a number of athletes competing at events across the country throughout July and August. Head coach Brad Dalke said the club has developed a core group of five elite swimmers — Colin Gilbert, Megan Dalke, Makena Sutherland, Dylana Milobar and Meaghan Frenks — that will be leading the club’s summer charge across the nation. All five will be attending the biggest meet of the summer this week, Canadian Senior Nationals in Saskatoon, from Wednesday, July 16 to Saturday, July19. “That for us, here in Kamloops,

is a pretty big deal,” Dalke told KTW. “Typically, even in the days when we had Erin Gammel, who was a medallist at senior nationals, we’ve only ever had one kid going to nationals. We’ve never, ever had two.” The club will also have swimmers at the B.C. Summer Games, the Canadian Age Group Swimming Championships, the Canadian East/West Dual Meet and the Summer Youth Olympic Games in 2014. “It really stems back to some changes we made structurally within our program about five years ago and that really is sort of creating this championship atmosphere within our program,” the longtime coach continued. “Basically, in creating that championship atmosphere now, what we’re looking for kids to

do is sort of have a lifestyle that is being an elite-level athlete as opposed to being a recreationaltype competitor.” The kids have bought in. Dalke said the club is averaging 20 swimmers a night this summer when, in the past, they would have been lucky to have five in the water. Kids want to get to that elite level in Kamloops and with the Classics, as well as the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack’s new Canadian Interuniversity Sport swim team, the Tournament Capital is drawing attention from swimmers around the province. “So, what’s actually taking place is when we go to provincials, when we go to nationals, when we go to the Canadian Age Group Championships, people are taking a look at Kamloops and they know that we have this TRU

program going along, so they’re seeing the success that we’re having in our pool,” Dalke said. Megan Dalke will be swimming in three events at nationals this week — the 100-metre, 400-m and 800-m freestyles. The daughter of the club’s coach, Megan has been swimming for more than 10 years and, at 15, she’s enjoying being a part of the strong core that will be leading the Kamloops club for years to come. “It’s pretty exciting because we’ve never had that many [go to nationals],” Megan said. “So to just be a part of it is good.” For Sutherland, who qualified for nationals earlier this month in Victoria, the berth was a long time coming. “It’s so exciting. I’ve been super close all year, so to finally get to go is super exciting,” she said.

Sutherland will be swimming in the 50-m freestyle, having reached the wall in 28.42 seconds in Victoria, just finishing under the 28.65 qualification time. “I just couldn’t stop smiling.” Brad hopes he, too, will be smiling for years to come — the club has another four or five athletes knocking on the door of the elite level. With trials for the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Brazil on the horizon, the swim club has started selecting athletes they believe might be able to contend. “Hopefully, if we have 10 or 12 kids going through to Olympic trials, we can get somebody through into the finals and vying for position there,” he said. “Success breeds success and you just take a look at what’s taking place in our program right now.”

KGTC’s Super Mario soaring to new heights By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Mario Bruno of the Kamloops Gymnastics and Trampoline Centre won a gold medal for Canada in double-mini trampoline at the Indo Pacific Championships in Acrobatic and Trampoline Gymnastics in Sun City, South Africa. The taste of gold has only increased his appetite for more podium finishes. Allen Douglas/KTW

KAMLOOPS

l a n i g i r ODEALER

Two days after returning to Kamloops with a prestigious gold medal from South Africa, a jetlagged Mario Bruno was back on the trampoline. The Kamloops Gymnastics and Trampoline Centre product had arrived back in Canada about 48 hours before, landing in Kamloops after more than 30 hours on a plane and another dozen hours in vehicles and airports. In those two days, he had gone from Sun City, South Africa, through Johannesburg, London, Toronto and Calgary on his way home to Kamloops. He rested and recuperated for two days and then Bruno went back to work. The international gold medal he won a week ago — bestowed upon him for his efforts in double-mini trampoline at the Indo Pacific Championships in Acrobatic and Trampoline Gymnastics on July 2 — hasn’t diminished his drive for perfection. “I mean, I feel good, but double-mini, I feel like I could have done a little bit better,” Bruno said, reflecting on his performance in Sun City. “Score-wise, I feel like I could have done a bit better.” In the double minitrampoline warm-ups, Bruno said he felt good. But, when the routine began, he underrotated on his first skill

and the pass wasn’t as clean as he would have liked. “So, I did well, but I feel like I could have done a little bit better,” he told KTW, despite his score being more than a point higher than the second-place finisher. Bruno’s reaction wasn’t abnormal as he has always sought perfection on the trampoline. His coach, the KGTC’s Gail Salmon, has worked with Bruno since he first began competing five years ago and said it’s intrinsic satisfaction, not extrinsic rewards, that drives the 17-year-old. The hardware is nice, but Bruno needs to feel good about his performance. Some disappointment showed in the athlete’s demeanour when he was back at the gym on Thursday, July 10. He spoke glowingly about his performance in trampoline, in which he had finished sixth, but was critical of his gold-medal performance in double-mini. “I think, for Mario, he just wants to do the best he can do,” Salmon said. “It doesn’t matter how well he does . . . like, if he gets a medal, it doesn’t make any difference. It’s, ‘Did I deserve that medal?’” Regardless of whether he thinks himself deserving of his Indos medal, Bruno’s performance certainly shows he was deserving of his spot in the competition. The only Canadian athlete competing in more than one event

at the championships, Bruno brought his country one of just three gold medals. Canada finished third in the medal standings, with three gold, three silver and one bronze. Australia led the way with 27 gold, 13 silver and six bronze. Donning the Maple Leaf was a dream come true for Bruno — and not just as a patriot. Travelling to South Africa, he had the opportunity to interact with fellow countrymen, as well as with

the world’s other elite competitors, learning from the ways they have perfected their skills. “I’ve been wanting to do that for a while and it was awesome getting to do that,” he said of representing Canada internationally. “It was cool just to see how you can accomplish the same thing more than one way. You don’t really realize that until you actually see someone else do it a different way.” X See BRUNO A17

Bruno’s ascension ‘unheard of,’ according to trampoline coach X From A16

Bruno then paid it forward. The South Kamloops secondary grad was one of two Canadian team members selected to stay in South Africa following the conclusion of the championships. He worked with local youth athletes, introducing them to the finer points of trampoline, while getting a chance to explore the nation’s culture. “I think they weren’t as impressed by my gymnastics,� Bruno said. “They were more impressed just with the fact that I come from Canada.� There were some eye-opening moments in his travels — from cars that refused to stop for pedestrians to baboons sighted as commonly as magpies in Kamloops. The weather was better in Kamloops, too. After all, it’s currently winter in South Africa. Some might find Bruno’s rise in the ranks of trampoline as surprising as the Kamloops native found regular baboon sightings — in truth, his last year has been astounding. A short while ago, he was a relative unknown, a provincial-level competitor at the KGTC. But, in the months that followed, he moved through the national and espoir ranks to junior, where he now remains. “It’s just unheard of.� Salmon said. “He has

Allen Douglas/KTW

got a lot of talent.� The coach said Bruno’s degree of difficulty last season was at 7.1. This year it’s at 14.1. “So, he doubled his DD within a year and that’s completely unheard of. Usually, he might go from 7.1 to 9, somewhere around there, but he just took off.� It was enough to catch the attention of officials at Gymnastics Canada, who had never heard of Bruno before being stunned by his performance at Elite Canada in Kamloops earlier this year.

His routine there was only the beginning, but no one knew the ceiling. Though Bruno had surprised Salmon before, she had no idea he would return to the Tournament Capital having stood atop the podium in Sun City. “Never,� Salmon said, when asked if she had thought Bruno would win gold when he left Canada. He is the KGTC’s first international trampoline athlete, so no one was quite sure what to expect. “Being in South Africa, Indos is a huge meet. I thought he’d be

lucky if he made top 10. I mean, that was his goal, going in, was just to make top 10.� So, now, with a gold medal in his first international competition, Bruno is turning his attention to the World Age Group Competitions in Daytona Beach in November. The competition is the world championship for athletes not competing at the senior level. This will be Bruno’s last opportunity to go to the event as he will turn 18 later this year. He needs to be in the top four in Canada

following the Canada Cup, two weeks away in Newmarket, Ont. Bruno has always worked toward perfection. He might need it to make his next dream a reality, but he’s putting the hours in — 14 a week, to be exact. He has surprised before but, if he makes it to worlds, he won’t be a relative unknown anymore. “I love trampoline,� Bruno said. “I think that’s pretty much it. “I’m very competitive. I have really high expectations for myself with a lot of things, so I tend to always push for more. Kind of like with those passes that I did at Indos — I won, but I was more concerned with the fact that I didn’t do the best I could have than the fact that I actually won. “So, I really, really strive for perfection, especially in this sport,

Mixed reaction out of World Cup host city By Bradley Brooks ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO — For Brazil, it was the upside-down World Cup. Brazilians lost at what they were certain they would win — soccer — and won where so many expected failure — organization. For years, the country’s government has endured grueling criticism from FIFA over severely delayed stadiums. Leaders rode out a wave of protests last year over billions spent on the tournament despite poor public services. Foreign tabloids warned fans of maneating snakes and violence, while domestic newspapers grilled officials over every imaginable aspect of

Cup preparations. Many serious doubts remain: about corruption related to World Cup works; whether the country will see economic benefits from hosting the games; and whether dozens of infrastructure projects promised as the biggest legacy of the event will ever be completed. But there is no question the goal of giving the world a smoothly run, exuberant sporting spectacle surpassed all expectations. “I think it’s been awesome,’’ said Scott Zapczysky, a 39-yearold jiu-jitsu instructor from Michigan. “I thought it was going to be an enormous disaster, to be honest. But, it looks good. I think people are really happy.’’ Brazilians would

disagree with him on one point: They were crushed by their team’s historic 7-1 loss in the semifinals, followed by a 3-0 drubbing in the consolation game. Germany won the title on Sunday, with Mario Gotze’s already famous goal late in extra time lifting his squad to a 1-0 victory over Argentina. Still, President Dilma Rousseff took clear delight in the Cup’s success — and in handing her critics a plate of humble pie. “Well,’’ she said, “we’ve eliminated the doubts of all who didn’t believe in us.’’ Traffic jams plagued cities like Rio and Sao Paulo each time a match was played. Airports, while efficient in moving hundreds of thousands of fans around 12 host cit-

ies, lacked the creature comforts Europeans or North Americans are used to. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing and muggings were often a complaint. But there were no mass protests like those witnessed during last year’s Confederations Cup, the World Cup’s warm-up soccer tournament. A series of strikes by public transport workers and police that many feared would hurt the event were resolved in the days before the tournament began. The stadiums held up well despite some concerns about their structural safety. What’s left now is for Brazilians themselves to decide if the $13.5 billion spent in preparations was worth it.

WHEN GOLF MEETS SOCCER

By Christopher Foulds and Jessica Wallace AMATEUR FOOTGOLFERS

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

P

ERHAPS nothing best represents footgolf than a birdie and a beverage. “This is maybe the best part of the game,” said Sun Rivers construction superintendent Rob Hall as he birdied the hole while cradling a cold beer in his hand. You can try putting out in golf while holding a drink, but it’s an awkward situation that will invariably lead to a bogey — or, worse, spillage. The beauty of footgolf is that your round is played hands-free. Just use your feet to kick the soccer ball into the hole in as few strokes (kicks) as possible and let your hands be free to balance, hold a beer, grab a sandwich, send a text, you name it. While the more

talented among us can attempt to bend it like Beckham or mesmerize like Messi while teeing off and in the fairway, it took a few holes to realize the old-fashioned, and sometimes frowned upon, toe-punt kick is the preferred method when putting out. Those who have suffered the frustration of seeing a drive in golf slice as hard right as Pat Buchanan will find footgolf much easier. However, what will be surprising is the realization you cannot kick a soccer ball as far as you think you can. You can’t. You will step up and imagine a booming boot that would be at home on a professional pitch. You will then kick it to experience your leg throbbing, your hip piercing with pain, your groin groaning and the ball sadly dribbling and drabbling a few feet that way — about the distance between embarrassment and shame.

But, with everyone new to this brand new sport in Kamloops, the shame is shared — and adds to the laughter as you attempt to make sense of this new activity at Sun Rivers. You may wish to go for a jog, warming up before hitting the pitch, but instead, hop in a cart and feel the breeze on your face. It feels natural to throw the ball in from out of bounds, but a penalty stroke and a drop will do just fine. And, you might not believe it — but it is possible to lose your

ball out in the sagebrush next to the fairway like many golfers before. Footgolf is a nice respite from more-competitive golf. It is perfect for families, particularly those with younger kids who are not quite ready to wield the nine-iron. And, it is the ideal outing for date night. It’s friendly to golfers and soccer players alike — and it is not a bad thing if you never get a hole in one. Because one rule of golf applies — the round of beverages would be on you.

She was passionate about hockey and regularly attended Kelowna Rockets games where she enjoyed watching players develop over the years. She made many friends of fellow fans, staff and volunteers of the Rockets’ club. Doris valued community and in her earlier years volunteered planning bingos and dances. Her home was always open and many good memories were made during family and friend gatherings. Music, singing, dancing and food were always to be found at Doris’s home. An open commemoration and interment service will be held at Lakeview Memorial Gardens (Airport) Cemetery in Kelowna, BC on August 30th, 2014 at 11 AM. A reception will follow.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

Murder charges follow missing family By Bill Graveland CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Calgary police say two charges of first-degree murder and one charge of second-degree murder are pending in the disappearance of a five-year-old boy and his grandparents. Chief Rick Hanson said a man was arrested early on Monday, July 14, but he can’t identify him because the charges were not going to be laid until later in the day. Nathan O’Brien and his grandparents, Kathryn and Alvin Liknes, haven’t been seen since June 29 after what police say was a violent incident in the Liknes house. Hanson said their bodies have not been

found, but investigators have enough evidence to conclude that they are dead. An Amber Alert issued shortly after the family members were reported missing has been cancelled. Shortly after the three disappeared, Nathan’s parents issued a tearful plea through the media asking for their return and urging their “superhero’’ son to be brave. Hanson said that hope is now gone. “Even as the days went by there’s always a hope, there’s always a glimmer of hope. And unfortunately with the laying of the charges, we’ve taken that hope away from the family. So they are devastated.’’ He said the case is not closed and investigators will continue to search for their

bodies. He asked rural property owners to search their land for anything that appears out of the ordinary. More than 200 officers and analysts worked on the complex and heart-breaking case, he says. There were about 900 tips from the public. The chief said the man arrested is from Airdrie, a community north of Calgary, and investigators are not looking for any other suspects. He would not confirm that the suspect is Douglas Garland, who lives on an Airdrie acreage with his parents and has been identified as a person of interest in the case. Garland was first questioned more than a week ago and was released from cus-

Basic cellphone costs up, packages down

CANADIAN PRESS

By David Paddon CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The price of basic wireless phone service in Canada has gone up 16 per cent since last year but packages with more features have held steady or gone down, according to an annual study commissioned by Industry Canada and the CRTC. Industry Minister James Moore said the report’s findings show that average wireless prices have come down 22 per cent since 2008 and smartphone plans have fallen even further, with newer carriers substantially less expensive than the bigger, older carriers. “We are encouraged by the findings revealed in today’s independent report, which confirm that our policies for more choice and lower prices are working to support Canadian families,’’ Moore said in a statement after the report was released on Monday, July 14. The pricing of Canadian wireless communications has become a political issue, with the Harper government introducing a number of policies that it says will increase competition and reduce costs for consumers. Since 2008, it has set aside spectrum — required to carry voice, Internet, picture or video over the public airwaves — for new entrants, which led to the emergence of smaller carriers such as Wind Mobile, Mobilicity and Public Mobile as well as a new wireless service from Videotron, Quebec’s largest cable company. Bernie Lefebvre, vice-president at Wall Communications, agreed that the overall trend in Canada has been for wireless prices to fall. “Whether you can attribute it to government policy, it’s hard to say,’’ Lefebvre said in an interview from Ottawa. “Certainly with the entrants coming into the market some years ago now, prices have trended downwards.’’ Despite the government’s initiatives, most Canadians continue to get their mobile service from Rogers, Telus or Bell that, collectively, account for about 25-million subscribers, or about 90 per cent of the total in Canada, according to the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association. David Christopher, of the Vancouver-based pubic interest group OpenMedia — which is often critical of governments — said the latest pricing report shows that the smaller competitors have had a positive impact in terms of bringing down prices.

tody last Friday on unrelated identity theft charges. Media reports citing police sources say it’s Garland who has been re-arrested. Garland, who is 54, has ties to the Liknes family. Police have said his sister is in a relationship with a family member and there have been reports he had business dealings with Alvin Liknes as well. Investigators have been searching the Garland acreage northeast of Airdrie where since he was initially questioned. Over the past two weeks, RCMP and Calgary police have searched several fields, sloughs and stands of trees on the acreage and in an area nearby.

NEIL’S HARBOUR, N.S. — A woman has died in hospital after a tour bus in Nova Scotia crashed on the Cabot Trail highway and ended up on its side, the RCMP said on Monday, July 14. Mounties said 10 people were injured when a bus carrying 20 passengers along the road in Cape Breton hit the ditch on Sunday afternoon about three kilometres south of Neil’s Harbour. Greg Organ, chief of the Neil’s Harbour-New Haven Volunteer Fire Department, said four people were airlifted to hospitals across Cape Breton. Police said at least three passengers suffered serious injuries and two were taken to Halifax to be treated. Organ said the crash happened on a section of the highway that is accessible to firefighters. “There are many, many places where

if the bus went off the road it would be a recovery,’’ he said, describing the numerous steep slopes along the scenic highland highway. Cpl. Scott MacRae said passengers on the bus ranged in age from 40 to 80 years old. The woman who died was 70, said police. The bus is owned by Executive Coach Inc. in Lancaster, Pa., and all the tourists on the bus are believed to be from the United States. The company declined comment. The Cabot Trail, a route popular with tourists, was closed to public access Sunday afternoon while police, fire and medical crews responded to the crash. The bus was removed and the trail was reopened to traffic later that evening. The cause of the crash is still under investigation. Police said the findings of a motor vehicle inspection of the bus were under review.

How much sugar is really in that? Ottawa proposes label changes CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — The federal government says proposed changes to food labels should make it more clear how much sugar is in packaged food. Among the changes, Health Canada says both total sugars and added sugars would be required information on nutrition tables. And suggested serving sizes would be

more consistent among similar foods. Health Minister Rona Ambrose made the announcement at an Edmonton grocery store. She hopes changes will make it easier for people to make healthy choices. “We heard repeatedly from parents that they understand there are natural sugars in many things that their kids eat, food like fruit, of course. But they also want to know how much sugar is added to foods,’’ Ambrose told a news conference.

“Parents want to know how much sugar is being added in total to their children’s cereal, for example. . . .Whether it’s molasses or brown sugar, all types of sugars will be grouped together. This makes the label much more transparent and allows shoppers to quickly see how much added sugars are in a food, compared to other ingredients.’’ She said there will be a series of online public consultations on the proposals.

VER SINCE Aaron Lines’ first daughter was born, he wanted to stay home and get to know her.

After over a decade of music, the Canadian country artist now has three kids, ages one to six, and has no plans at this point to put out another album. “I’m enjoying being at home with my kids,” he said. “They’re only young once.” His last album, Sunday Afternoon, was released in 2010 and featured his most recent single, I Haven’t Even Heard You Cry. He’s still performing it in the Calgary area, where he lives, and he’ll be coming to Sun Peaks to headline Country Fest, up next during the free outdoor summer concert series. The Fort McMurray native said much of his family has ended up in Calgary and, once he and his wife thought about starting a family, the city made

Lines also credits family with his start in music. His brother got him playing for friends to overcome his shyness. His parents supported him growing up — between his music, education and, eventually, having a family of his own. “I was lucky I had parents who knew how important it was to do what you loved to do,” he said. Since then, Lines has released five albums , has reached the top 10 on the Billboard charts and is enjoying his new role as lead man for his family. They won’t be with him when he comes to

He’s looking forward to the outdoor venue, having never been to Sun Peaks before. “It’s [outdoor venues] kind of the most fun to play for me,” he said. Looking ahead, Lines said he’ll eventually put out some new tunes. “I always say I’ll be making music again when my kids don’t want to hang out with me,” he said. “I know that day will come.”

A measure of success: Itinerant missionaries The Former Shuswap [Secwepemc] beliefs are rapidly changing, under the influence of education, and association with the whites, and the teaching of the missionaries. — James Teit

J

AMES TEIT WAS an anthropologist who lived among and studied the Secwepemc peoples of the British Columbia Interior. The above excerpt comes from Teit’s observation of the impact of missionaries’ efforts on the First Nations peoples in the late 19th century. He notes with a hint of regret that the beliefs of the region’s first inhabitants were rapidly changing due to outsider influence. It was Teit’s ambition to document the culture and beliefs of the interior groups before they were completely destroyed by European settlers. As Teit observed, it was through the teachings of the missionaries in particular that this change was occurring. Therefore, it is important to study where this process started and how it was carried out. In examining the roots of this change that Teit observed, the notion of change itself becomes more complicated. Questions arise about why, and to what extent, change occurred. It would be unfortunate to accept a simple narrative that suggests that missionaries came to British Columbia with the goal of converting aboriginal peoples to Christianity and that, in time, they achieved this goal. Contrarily, the measure of their success is debatable. A closer examination of the early stages of missionaryaboriginal contact will reveal that Christianity was accepted only in part among aboriginals — often not in the form missionaries intended, but in a form that was congruent with aboriginal culture. Missionaries were present in British Columbia as early as the Spanish explorers in the late 18th century but rarely did they penetrate the mainland, preferring to stick to the Pacific coast. It was not until the expedition of Modeste Demers and Francois Blanchet in the 1840s that missionary work got its true beginnings in the Interior of British

JUSTIN GREER TRU HISTORY Columbia. Although white fur traders and explorers had been in the area for decades, the expedition of these two missionaries is of particular significance in that it represents the moment of contact between missionaries and the aboriginal peoples of the Interior, and with it the moment that intense efforts for conversion to Christianity were implemented in this region. These early missions are the focus of this paper. While many studies have emphasized the impact of religious change brought by the permanent presence of Christianity in settled towns, and even more so by the residential-school system, my interest lies with the initial encounters between itinerant missionaries and the First Nations. In this realm, the sources are few and mostly limited to the voices of missionaries and Hudson Bay Company traders. Still, aboriginal responses to missionary efforts can be glimpsed through a careful reading of missionary accounts. Indeed, even though missionary reports often painted a positive picture that was meant to demonstrate their success at converting an eager and simple audience, they also reveal instances of resistance and failure. The early itinerant missions and their impact on the First Nations is a complex yet important field of study. Itinerant missionaries constantly moved from village to village, preaching to different tribes and meeting with varying success. Driven by their faith, they journeyed where no missionary had gone before to regions that presented

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS ESSAY Before he passed away last year, Peter Grauer, as head of the Kamloops Antiques, Collectibles and Heritage Society, formed a scholarship at Thompson Rivers University looking to promote local history. He wanted the $500 award to go to the student who wrote the best local-history essay each year. Grauer died before he could see the award doled out, but members of the society he used to lead have voted on winners for each of the

real dangers to their life. Ignoring the existing beliefs of the peoples they intended to convert, missionaries believed wholeheartedly that the aboriginal peoples they encountered were in need of conversion. In their reports, missionaries gave the impression that they were generally well received by the aboriginals. For example, it was often emphasized that numerous baptisms were performed during their initial encounters. But the acceptance of Christian practices among aboriginals did not mean conversion in the sense that the missionaries were intending. Aboriginals held their own beliefs firm and, contrary to the exclusive nature of Christianity, they saw no harm in accepting new gods. There was a large divide between the two cultures including language barriers that limited missionaries’ ability to teach Christianity. Still, early missionary reports claim that they continuously overcame obstacles and achieved considerable success. A closer analysis will reveal that these successes were limited in that the apparent acceptance of Christian practices meant different things to the aboriginals than they did to the missionaries. European-aboriginal contact in this era is generally associated with aboriginal cultural destruction. Although, it is impossible to pinpoint the origins of this apparent cultural destruction, the appearance of missionaries in the region was certainly a point of escalation. Fur traders had been in contact with aboriginals in the B.C. Interior prior to the appearance of missionaries. In Kamloops in the early 1800s, for example, Hudson Bay Company traders and local Secwepemc devel-

oped a mutually dependent relationship. Missionaries, on the other hand, came with deliberate intentions to transform aboriginal culture, beliefs, and way of life. A tendency to accept that missionaries had the power to drastically alter aboriginal people’s way of life is unfortunate, and altogether too simple. Alternatively, a less onesided missionary-aboriginal relationship, one that deconstructs the ethnocentric ideas of white superiority and which illustrates a more balanced possession of power and influence between the two groups, is crucial to any analysis of the interaction between missionaries and aboriginals. Furthermore, the impact that missionaries had on the Aboriginal peoples they encountered varied greatly depending on a host of circumstances that were constantly changing over time and space. Despite missionary reports that make it appear as though they had made numerous successful conversions on aboriginals who generally seemed eager to accept Christianity, it is important to consider how the aboriginals may have interpreted these “conversions.” Therefore, a brief overview of contemporary aboriginal beliefs is necessary before proceeding. Some of the most important writings on aboriginal culture prior to the dramatic transformations that came with white settlement are James Teit’s. Teit spent more than twenty years studying Interior tribes in British Columbia. He mastered the Secwepemc language and wrote extensively on their beliefs and way of life. According to Teit, the Secwepemc peoples held the belief that the world developed in a mythological age in which magical beings had

the power to shape the earth. Teit recorded that there was one chief of the ancient world who was all-powerful and did the most to shape the earth. It was believed that this chief created animals, forests, and rivers, regulated the weather, and taught people how to live properly. Teit also described the major Secwepemc belief that spirits inhabited everything including animals, land, water, and winds. He discovered that animals and elements were very important in Secwepemc belief since survival was dictated by the seasons and the hunt. Animals were well respected and killed only when needed, and there were certain traditions that had to be followed on the hunt to ensure that animal spirits were not offended. Moreover, Teit observed that tradition was important and various festivals and ceremonies took place throughout the year. Clearly, Teit encountered interior peoples who possessed a rich, longstanding, and well entrenched culture and set of beliefs. However, this is by no means a complete or objective depiction of the Secwepemc culture, and presents merely a fraction of the many volumes that Teit wrote about his experience amongst the interior peoples. The point to note is that the fascinating and intricate beliefs that aboriginals possessed (and continue to possess) were easily as complex as Christianity. But, regardless of how complex or embedded the beliefs of Aboriginals were, the missionaries set out to eradicate these beliefs and replace them with Christianity. The missionaries who would introduce Christianity to the region had preconceived notions of the people

they would encounter and little intention of learning from them. The exclusive nature of Christianity along with the narrow view of missionaries that it was the only true and supreme religion shaped the development of mission work. In other words, missionaries were largely ignorant of cultural values held by aboriginal peoples. The first mission that would eventually reach the interior of British Columbia was described in a published announcement meant for the public in Quebec: The mission of the Columbia includes all that part of the British territory which is situated between the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains. That territory is inhabited by natives (sauvages) of rather gentle habits, but strongly attached to polygamy: which will render their conversion difficult ... No priest has yet visited that territory ... This year (1838) two priests with zeal for the salvation of souls said goodbye, perhaps forever, to go and spread the knowledge of the faith among the infidel natives inhabiting that land. Along with other notices, the one above reveals what it was that the missionaries sought to do. More importantly it demonstrates their view that the native “infidels” in this region were in need of Christianizing. It also reveals that the intentions of missionaries may have been to do good since they held the notion that the teachings of Christianity could only improve the “primitive” and “uncivilized” natives. Most of all it was a sense of duty rooted deep within Christian dogma that drove the ambitious missionaries across the country to a land unknown to them and a people about whom they knew very little. Demers and Blanchet travelled thousands of miles across Canada arriving in British Columbia in 1838. Their approach to this enormous region and the numerous culturally distinct groups inhabiting it was to travel around spreading their efforts as far as possible. In the decades that followed an increasing number of missionaries became active in the region from various denominations and

employing various techniques. The most prominent denominations active in the Interior of British Columbia were Catholics, Anglicans, and Methodists. Gradually during the late 1860s and 1870s permanently established churches begun to spring up in towns where settlement was well underway. In Kamloops, for example, Father Demers visited in 1842, followed by Father Nobili in 1845 and 1846; after, an interval of more than ten years, Father Pandosy visited in 1859. Eventually, in 1867, St. Josephs was the first church built in Kamloops. So, in more than 20 years, the Secwepemc people of Kamloops encountered missionaries rarely and only for brief periods of time. During the period under consideration, roughly 1840 to 1870, there were relatively few missionaries active in the interior of British Columbia, and as a result these early missionaries faced countless obstacles and challenges. Perhaps most difficult were the physical and mental hardships that accompanied the lengthy journeys which early missionaries undertook. Father Demers’ first trip up the Columbia

River illustrates the perils that missionaries encountered. After travelling by canoe, Demers continued his “journey on horseback of 120 to 130 leagues through prairies, forests, streams and the thousand obstacles those regions present, where the hand of civilization has not in any way prepared easy roads for travellers.” Three days into his expedition, Demers’ guide decided to jump on his horse and ride away without a word. For a week, he was alone and lost in the wilderness “with only a knife and a little ax to defend [himself] from the wild animals which one meets there occasionally.” Indeed, missionary life presented many dangers and it is likely that for these travelling men of God the only thing keeping them going was their faith.Furthermore, the method that early missionaries employed was undoubtedly shaped by their limited resources. Apart from the lack of missionaries in the area, they also faced considerable language barriers. One clever tactic they employed was the use of visual sources to accompany their teachings. Demers recorded some of his strategy in his journal: I explained to them the

creation of the world, the fall of the first man, the promise of the Saviour, His birth and death [and] the love of Jesus Christ for the human race. All this explained with the help of a historico-chronological chart sketched on paper and suited to catch the eye of the savages. That Demers perceived Aboriginal peoples as primitive and uncivilized is evident in his ethnocentric language, specifically his use of the racist term “savages.” In this journal entry, he described using what came to be known as a Catholic ladder in an attempt to bridge the language barrier. These devices apparently became popular amongst Aboriginals since they illustrated a straightforward historical version of Christianity. The Catholics also left these charts with the Aboriginals they visited along with other gifts such as crosses, all of which ultimately led to increasing denominational rivalries. Rivalries often occurred between different denominations and sometimes between missionaries and Hudson Bay Company furtraders. Catholic missionaries were often critical of Protestants, claiming that their presence in the region

was working against “this growing Christianity.” The crosses Catholics distributed were probably meant, in part, to reveal to later Protestant visitors that Catholics had already been amongst and converted the people there. The main difference between the two groups is that Catholics were mainly itinerant while Protestants tended to prefer the establishment of permanent centres. Rivalries also occurred between missionaries and earlier white settlers. When Father Demers arrived in Kamloops, for example, some Hudson Bay Company traders scorned his presence and thought his interference would distract the aboriginals from their hunting. One wrote in his journal about the inconvenience that crowds of Aboriginal peoples caused when the priest was coming to visit: It is so intolerable the annoyance to which we are at present subjected in consequence of the immense crowd of Indians who are now congregated about us — men, women and children starving of hunger and cold have flocked in upon us from all quarters evidentially for no other purpose but to see and hear the priest. Poor deluded creatures, they do not know how little good he

can do them. Thus, the missionaries were not always welcomed by the whites already living in the area, nor were they always welcomed by the Aboriginal inhabitants. But, the latter is less likely to come through in the surviving documents since most of these are accounts from the missionaries themselves who seldom mentioned their failures or disappointments. Indeed, despite considerable difficulties and barriers, missionaries seemingly met with considerable success. That is, if we are to take their accounts at face value. In most accounts the missionaries were welcomed and eagerly accepted by the Aboriginals. Describing one brief overnight stay, Demers wrote that “these poor natives showed themselves very eager to hear tell of the Great Master.” Although Demers presented this encounter in a light that implied that his audience was eager to learn about Christianity, it is perhaps more likely that their eagerness had less to do with stories of the Great Master than it did with the strange foreigner in their midst. Indeed, a closer reading and a comparison to other contemporary sources calls into question the success claims of missionaries. For example, Father Demers reported over the course of 1839 to 1840 that he had performed 288 baptisms, 76 marriages and 14 burials. It is important to remember that these figures were published for the purpose of implying that Christianization was progressing. A different report reveals an insightful consideration to measuring this apparent success: Experience has taught the missionaries not to count too much on the apparent dispositions and first demonstrations of the natives in favor of religion. The finest outward show is often with them only the fruit of the momentary impression, and vanishes shortly to leave a free field for their deeprooted habits. Clearly, the itinerant system had limitations. During their short visits it may have appeared to missionaries that they were successfully converting aboriginal peoples, but generally the impact of

their teachings lasted only as long as their visit. Itinerant missionaries in the mid-19th century did what they could in their brief visits to each group, but ultimately their efforts rarely had a real and lasting impact. The teachings of missionaries and the willingness of aboriginals to listen and take part in baptisms and sacraments did not translate directly to conversion. In other words the adoption of Christian practices was not necessarily a sign of conversion, though the missionaries may have viewed it as such since they saw their faith as exclusive to all other beliefs. Instead, aboriginal belief systems did not necessarily discriminate or exclude other beliefs, and thus the interior peoples may not have had any qualms with adopting Christianity and adding it to their already complex beliefs. Despite challenges, early missionaries like Father Demers and Father Blanchet were persistent in their ambitions to convert the aboriginals of the B.C. Interior. They travelled continuously encountering distinct peoples and challenging obstacles. The exclusive nature of Christianity combined with the missionaries’ ethnocentric outlook shaped their encounters with aboriginal people. An analysis of these encounters, if viewed with an appreciation for the balance of power between the two groups, reveals that aboriginal peoples and missionaries had different notions of what exactly was transpiring. While missionaries may have believed they were achieving success in converting the aboriginals they visited, aboriginal people themselves most likely thought about the encounter much differently. They may have accepted some Christian teachings and practices, but that does not necessarily mean that they underwent conversion in the way that missionaries intended. Thus, an understanding of, and appreciation for, the complex belief systems of aboriginal peoples is crucial to interpreting the success or failures of the earliest missionary efforts in this region.

Durango spacious, easy to maneuveur By Lorne Drury

METROLAND MEDIA

“

BOY, THAT’S A big one,” said a neighbour, pointing at the 2014 Dodge Durango Citadel I had just parked in the driveway. “You could take the whole neighbourhood out for a ride in that,” he joked as he sauntered away down the sidewalk. Although it is an exaggeration, my friend is bang on about the Durango being big and spacious. The full-size crossover SUV that has been

refreshed for 2014 has seating for seven, plus a generous amount of cargo space behind the third-row seat. Fold down the second and third rows for 2,393 litres of cargo space. But, while the Durango is truly a fullsize crossover, it drives like a much smaller one. It is easy to maneuver. Even in tight parking lots, the rear-view camera makes backing up a breeze. Citadel is the top trim level of the

Durango and the astested price of $62,355 reflects it. However, our tester had the optional 360 hp 5.7-litre Hemi V8 that has a class-leading tow rating of 3,356 kg. While we didn’t do any hauling during our time with the vehicle, this would be the engine of choice for anyone with a hefty boat or travel trailer to tow. Otherwise, the standard 290 hp 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine would suffice and, even with that engine, the Durango has an impressive rating of 2,812 kg.

The Durango starts at $41,690 for the SXT. The Limited is $46,190, while the R/T is $51,190 and the Citadel starts at $54,190. Durango has been a long-running nameplate, first popping up in 1998 as a mid-size SUV. It has grown considerably over the years and this third-generation model that was re-introduced as a 2012 model after a short hiatus shares a platform with the Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, the original body-on-frame

design is gone in favour of today’s more popular and lighter unibody crossover style that provides just as much utility, but with car-like handling. In real-world conditions, mostly highway

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Gemini, spend some time thinking about what you want rather than what others want for you. You may discover significant differences between the two, but do what makes you happy.

Cancer, it may take some time to get back on your feet after a stumble, but you will get there much faster if you ask a few friends for support. You know the people who have your back.

Leo, very little can disappoint you or affect your mood. Enjoy the responsibility-free week with a free spirit. This is a great time for a vacation.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Think through all of your options before you act, Virgo. While something may seem like a good idea at first, careful thought may reveal some bumps in the road.

Scorpio, if you feel you are at a crossroads, take your time to make the best possible decision. This is a significant moment for you, and it requires focus and forethought.

Sagittarius, supporting a family member who deserves it has you riding high this week. This support may be emotional in nature or even financial support if you can manage. Capricorn, family activities are getting in the way of business prospects, and vice versa. You may need to make a difficult decision in the near future.

Aquarius, think through the pros and cons of speaking your mind at work. Your opinions are valid, but you run the risk of alienating certain people, and that should not be taken lightly.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Approach a problem that’s been puzzling you from a different perspective, Pisces. This new way of looking at things makes all the difference.
