RUNNING ON EMPTY With Ajax as sponsor, Kamloops Marathon’s defending champ has decided to skip the race By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops Marathon organizers are backtracking on an email sent to last year’s winner, warning he cannot make political statements about sponsor KGHM-Ajax at the July 27 event. Ryan Day, a Secwepemc runner from the Bonaparate Indian Band, won last year’s Kamloops Marathon clad in a white shirt with the word “Ajax” crossed out with a large X — an illustration of Day’s opposition to the proposed copper and gold
mine south of Aberdeen. “They just asked I refrain from any comments on Ajax,” Day told KTW. However, Christopher Seguin, spokesman for Kamloops Marathon organizer Thompson Rivers University, called the email sent on the weekend by the race director “ill thought-out and regrettable.” Seguin said the message did not come at the behest of the mining company, which is listed as a silver sponsor of the event. “We’d love to have him in the race if he wants to join us, no matter what he’s wearing,” Seguin said.

City wants more info on Ajax process By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
”
Ryan Day won the 2013 Kamloops Marathon while wearing this anti-Ajax shirt. He will not defend his title as he has decided against running a race sponsored by KGHM Ajax. While Kamloops Marathon officials initially invited Day to run for free — a perk often afforded defending champions — he was asked to refrain from speaking against the proposed Ajax mine. Marathon officials later changed their stance and the open invite to Day remains. “We’d love to have him in the race if he wants to join us, no matter what he’s wearing,” said Kamloops Marathon spokesman Christopher Seguin.
Applause filled Kamloops city council chambers twice on Tuesday, July 15, as councillors passed a pair of motions which put pressure on the province to do more consultation on the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. In two unanimous votes, councillors asked the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) to give the public a chance to comment on changes Ajax parent company KGHM has made to its mine layout and design, and to host an open house this year to explain how the project will be assessed. It will be the second time the city has asked the province for a public-information session. Council first asked the EAO to come explain its review process in May, but was told the office would prefer to wait until KGHM submits Ajax’s application for environmental review in 2015.
They’ve blown us off. This is not good enough for the City of Kamloops. – Coun. Ken Christian
”
Mayor Peter Milobar said he was “disappointed” by the response because, in previous meetings with the province, he’d been told the city could ask for public-education sessions whenever it wished. “This isn’t really what council wanted,” Milobar said of the EAO’s offer to come to council this fall as a delegation. While Coun. Marg Spina suggested council cut its losses by inviting the EAO to a meeting in a larger venue, where more members of the community could
be present, Milobar said that wouldn’t allow the public to ask questions. Instead, councillors opted to give the EAO and provincial politicians a piece of their minds. “They’ve blown us off,” said Coun. Ken Christian, suggesting the city write to the ministers responsible for the Ajax file as well as local MLAs Terry Lake and Todd Stone. “This is not good enough for the City of Kamloops.” Council’s second Ajax resolution of the day calls on the EAO to accept comments from the public on the application information requirements for the mine — the various issues and impacts it must study for its environmental review. Coun. Donovan Cavers said he chose to put forward the motion in response to changes KGHM has made to its site plan for the mine, which include new locations for many of the waste and tailings facilities and a switch from dry to wet tailings.

Pavilion Theatre to get an upgrade
CANADIAN PRESS
Statistics Canada says the average minimum wage in 2013 was almost identical to the 1975 minimum wage, in constant dollars. The agency says the average minimum wage was $10.14 in 2013 and the 1975 wage, expressed in 2013 dollars, was $10.13. Between 1975 and 2013, however, the minimum wage in 2013 dollars varied, slipping to $7.53 in 1986 before rising to $8.81 in 1996. Up to 2003, the real minimum wage remained stable at about $8.50. The report says 6.7 per cent of all paid employees earned the minimum wage in 2013, up from 5.0 per cent in 1997. It says young employees, less-educated employees, parttimers and people in service industries were most likely to be paid minimum wage.
Western Canada Theatre is getting some help from the city as it looks to upgrade the Pavilion Theatre. The theatre company is getting a grant of $105,000 from the city for a new heating and cooling system in the building at 1025 Lorne St., near downtown. The grant covers a shortfall in Western Canada Theatre’s funding for the project and will come from the city’s general reserve fund.

officials issued a “smoky skies advisory” — a new warning for worsening air quality. The advisory was issued for much of the Southern Interior, including the Thompson, Nicola, and Okanagan valleys, as well as the Shuswap. Ralph Adams, an air-quality meteorologist with the Ministry of Environment, said the advisory comes after smoke pushed beyond thresholds. “We had haze. but at fairly low levels,” he said. “But, since yesterday, we’ve seen a gradual rise and now we’re at the point where I’d issue an advisory.” By mid-morning yesterday, PM 2.5 levels reached 27 micrograms on a 24-hour average — beyond Canadawide standards. The new advisory is expected to be maintained for longer periods, rather than authorities issuing and then pulling warnings on a day-by-day basis.

Effects from the province’s wildfires arrived in Kamloops this week as a thick pall of smoke descended on the valley, prompting an air-quality warning from authorities. At the same time, the nearest wildfire — the Murray-Maka fire west of Murray Lake — nearly doubled over 24 hours and triggered an evacuation alert for nearby cabins. That fire, a few kilometres from the former toll booth on the Coquihalla Highway, became so aggressive on Tuesday, July 15, that all firefighting resources were withdrawn due to the danger. In nearly 40 C heat, it grew to a rank 5 fire, near the top of the scale, and racing through tree crowns. On Wednesday, July 16, Ministry of Environment and Interior Health Authority

The city’s unemployment rate jumped to 6.6 per cent in June, up from just 4.5 per cent in the same month last year, according to data from Statistics Canada. Despite the jobless rate increase, the number of people employed in the city and those looking for work increased year over year — both considered positive signs for the local economy.

Near-eight-year sentence for Lytton death By Tim Petruk
nearly two years of time served, meaning he’s facing four years and nine months of new time behind bars. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ian Meiklem said Smith’s sentence might have been shorter if he had shown some remorse. “I do not find sufficient remorse evident to make it a mitigating factor in this case,” Meiklem said. Sandy Charlie, a drinking buddy of Smith’s, was 48 when he went missing from Lytton in December 1999. Smith was suspected in his disappearance as early as 2007 but, court heard, police did not have enough evidence to make an arrest.
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Lytton man convicted in a cold-case slaying dating back to 1999 — a crime to which he confessed to undercover cops posing as gangsters — has been handed a jail sentence totalling nearly eight years. In March, a jury convicted 46-year-old Rob Smith on one count each of manslaughter and offering an indignity to human remains. His sentencing hearing took place on Tuesday, July 15. Smith, who has a criminal history including multiple assault and driving convictions, will be given 1.5:1 credit for
That changed on Sept. 12, 2011, when an excavator doing work on Crown land near Lytton accidentally unearthed Charlie’s remains. Months later, RCMP launched an undercover Mr. Big sting targeting Smith. That four-month operation culminated in a videotaped confession in August 2012. Smith was arrested a few days after confessing and has been in custody since. Mr. Big stings are elaborate undercover operations created by the RCMP, almost solely targeting homicide suspects. The operations see undercover officers befriend suspects and attempt to gain their trust by recruiting them into a fictitious criminal gang,
culminating in a confession to the supposed gang’s leader — Mr. Big. During the trial, jurors watched the videotaped confession of Smith describing the night of Charlie’s death to an undercover Mountie posing as the leader of a powerful criminal organization. “I ended up killing somebody and I just dug a hole and put him in it,” Smith said in the video, which was filmed at a covert RCMP warehouse in the Lower Mainland on Aug. 10, 2012. In the video, Smith said he beat Charlie into unconsciousness two times in a matter of minutes, upset with him for co-operating with police on a domestic-assault allegation for which

In these conditions, authorities advise residents to refrain from exercising outside and caution that those with pre-existing lung conditions may suffer from worsening symptoms. Indoor air quality will also be affected. Kamloops and the Southern Interior join Fort St. John, Prince George and Williams Lake on the list of those experiencing poor air quality, the likely cause of which are fires in the CaribooChilcotin and Northern B.C. Those include the Euchiniko Lakes fire west of Quesnel, at 2,800 hectares, and smaller Soda Creek fire in the Cariboo. “There’s no way to know with certainty,” Adams said of the smoke’s origins. “Based on satellite photos and modelling data, I’m confident it’s coming from Soda Creek and the Euchiniko fires.” With cooler conditions overnight and into yesterday, the B.C. Wildfire Branch was able to place
Smith was arrested in April 1999. He dragged Charlie down a flight of stairs and left him outside unconscious. When Smith went to check on him 10 minutes later, Charlie was dead. Charlie was buried near property adjacent to a home belonging to Smith’s girlfriend at the time of the slaying. Taking the stand in his own defence, Smith
told the jury he knocked out Charlie, but did not kill him. He said Charlie woke up after being punched and then left under his own power. Charlie’s son, Sandy Nolan Cleghorn, died while looking for his missing father in January 2000. Cleghorn’s body was found on March 12, 2000, in the Fraser River near Lytton. At a hearing in June, court heard victim-
impact statements from two of Charlie’s daughters.

equipment and firefighters on the Murray-Maka fire. It grew from 80 kilometres Tuesday to 150 hectares yesterday. “There is heavy equipment on the fire, as well as two helicopters bucketing and one unit crew,” said spokeswoman Kelsey Winter. The Coquihalla Highway, five kilometres east of the fire, is not under threat of closure. The Thompson-Nicola Regional District issued an evacuation alert for the 30 or so cabins on the east side of Murray Lake, on the other side of the lake from the blaze. Adams said weather conditions later in the week are expected to improve air quality and push out smoke. The haze last weekend, at higher levels, stemmed from fires in Washington State. Massive fires from the Northwest Territories are also contributing to smoky conditions over much of B.C.

Powrie wants to carry Liberal flag in election By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops elementary school teacher who is also an instructor at Thompson Rivers University and author of several textbooks wants to transfer his passion for social studies from the classroom to Parliament. Steve Powrie, whose talents also include a stint as a player in Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, is the first local Liberal to declare a bid for the party’s nomination, expected to be decided in late summer or fall. Contacted on Wednesday, July 16, Powrie said he is making a bid based on party leadership of Justin Trudeau and his own desire to get involved. “I’ve thought about it for Longtime teacher Steve Powrie is aiming to take the next step in his career as he seeks to become Liberal MP for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo. Powrie is thus far the only declared candidate for the Grits, with a federal election expected in October 2015. Powrie has set up a Facebook page to promote his campaign.

[Former leader Stéphane] Dion was a nice man, but didn’t connect.” Powrie called Trudeau “fresh.” “Why would you want someone weaned on that Parliament culture for years?” he asked. “You’ll get the same old thing.” Powrie is married with two children, both graduated from public school and attending Quest University in Squamish. The federal election is set for October 2015, although Prime Minister Stephen Harper may call it at any time. Powrie said he is nearing retirement and intends to teach at least one more year, giving him ample time to run in an election. He is able to obtain leave if the Conservative government calls a snap election. Powrie has authored a social studies textbook for Oxford Press, as well as a textbook on media literacy. “I’m like everyone else —
I’m disappointed with the tone of politics and where it’s headed . . . “We have an MP [Conservative Cathy McLeod] who comes back with a brochure telling us about what’s been done.” The last Liberal elected in Kamloops was Len Marchand, under then-prime minister Pierre Trudeau, in 1974. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Liberal Riding Association president Tyler Carpentier said the party expects three to four people to run for the nomination. Powrie is the only candidate to go public thus far. “There’s a large amount of people excited about it,” Carpentier said. “There will definitely be a lot of new members. Our membership has well over tripled in the past six months.” McLeod has been acclaimed and will defend her seat for the Conservatives, while Kamloops lawyer Bill Sundhu is seeking the NDP nomination. No word on whether the Greens have anybody interested in seeking the nomination.

Will building find a Way to survive? Stories by Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops’ former federal building on West Victoria Street could get a new lease on life from the Thompson Nicola Cariboo United Way — if the heritage building is in good enough condition to be saved. The building, also a former Christian hostel, was last used by the Canadian Mental Health Association for overnight shelter. The CMHA put the building up for sale earlier this year, saying it costs too much to run. Since then, members of several different city committees have been hoping to save the building, which dates to 1900. The United Way, working with other social agencies in the city, hopes to turn the building into a community-collaboration centre, where various non-profit groups could run programs or events. It’s planning to buy the building from CMHA for $1 — the same amount the
association originally paid. But, United Way director of community impact Danalee Baker said it remains to be seen if the building can be updated and made accessible at a reasonable cost. Baker said the goal is to save the building and the agency may know whether it can by mid-August. “We’re doing this on behalf of the socialservices sector to ensure — because it was gifted to the social-services sector — that we did our best and we exhausted every possibility,� she said. Kamloops city council agreed this week to give the United Way $5,000 to have the building inspected, though some councillors balked at the cost. Coun. Marg Spina felt the city had enough meeting spaces for non-profits and suggested the city instead put out a request for proposals for the heritage building to find a better use. “There’s lots of empty spaces around
town for people to collaborate, free spaces,� she said. “The United Way even has their own boardroom.� Coun. Tina Lange countered that, since the city doesn’t own the building, it shouldn’t get to pick how the building is used, though it can support efforts of other groups. “What happened is that someone in the community saw a use for a building that has been in the community for a long time,� she said. “They’re willing to do it on our own this has nothing to do with the city doing it.� Coun. Arjun Singh believes a collaboration centre could provide a kind of space now unavailable in Kamloops. “I think of an example I have is street outreach for youth keeps moving around because they can’t find a home,� he said. “So, this might be a place for them.� Council voted 5-3 to give United Way the money out of its contingency fund, with councillors Spina, Nelly Dever and Ken Christian opposed.

Dunes owner tees up again After a pair of rejections in 2013, developer Bill Bilton is taking another shot at removing land at The Dunes golf course from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Kamloops council has agreed to forward the latest request from North Core Developments to the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) for consideration. Bilton hopes to remove a 4.6-hectare strip of land next to Westsyde Road from the ALC and would designate 5.1 hectares of land north of the course and the Dunesberry farm as farmland. Bilton said he has not decided exactly what he will build on the land just north of the Westlinks residential development if his application is successful, but it would be a housing development. It’s a smaller request than North Core’s last application to the ALC, which sought to remove 6.68 hectares near the centre of the course for 317 units of housing. That request was denied in May 2013 and denied again on appeal near the end of last year. Bilton is hoping the smaller amount of land in play, and the location of the strip, will make the ALC more receptive. “The precedent is already there
when we did our application for the lots along Harrington Road and Westsyde Road for the Westlinks development,� Bilton said. “This is exactly similar in concept. We’re using that borderline strip that’s useless for anything other than what they’re doing with it.� While the provincial government has designated interior agricultural reserve lands as Zone 2 — which to give the commission more flexibility in deciding what stays and what can be excluded —Bilton said he prepared his application looking at the old rules, and isn’t sure what impact the changes will have. But, he said, he’s optimistic his latest request will meet with more success than the last two. “I’ve got a pretty good feel for what we’re doing this time,� Bilton said. “But, nothing is for sure with them until it’s done.� If the application is successful, Bilton will still need to seek city approval for the as-yet-unplanned housing development. Council has not taken a position on the ALC application at this time and is instead waiting to hear if the commission thinks the request is in line with Kamloops’ agricultural area plan.

Sponsorship in the spotlight can cut both ways in city
L
AST YEAR, HE WAS first across the finish line, proudly wearing an antiAjax shirt and claiming the title as victor of the 2013 Kamloops Marathon. This year, knowing the company behind the proposed open-pit copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen is a significant sponsor of the marathon, he has declined to run. Ryan Day is the fledgling marathon’s defending champion and, as is normally the custom among marathon organizers, Day, as last year’s winner, was invited to run this year sans the entry fee and offered a room the night before the July 27 race. However, the letter of invitation came with a caveat — that Day not speak critically of sponsor KGHM, which wishes to build the mine that has been the subject of much debate for the past few years. Such a request would obviously include a request Day not don again the championship shirt of 2013, the one with an “X” slashed through the word “Ajax.” While it is Day’s right — and some would say responsibility — to take his opposition to Ajax seriously, it is also the right of Kamloops Marathon organizers to accept sponsorship investment from KGHM Ajax. And it is not as though Day does not understand that aspect. He does and made the point in an interview with KTW reporter Cam Fortems that he can understand the request from marathon organizers. His beef, as he noted on his Facebook page, was his interpretation of the letter from mar-
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom MUSINGS athon organizers that he could easily be convinced to acquiesce. “While I can understand the request, I still find it offensive to say the least that they think I would sell out for a $75 fee and a room,” Day wrote, adding the letter had him considering paying the entry fee and pulling out that anti-Ajax shirt once again. However, as explained by Day — a Secwepemc runner from the Bonaparte Indian Band — he refuses to run races in Sun Peaks based on ongoing opposition to the alpine resort’s development by First Nations groups. “I refuse to run any races at Sun Peaks for moral reasons. Why is it OK for me to run in a race sponsored by a company that will dig a giant hole in the ground and endanger the Thompson and Fraser rivers from Tk’emlups to the Salish Sea?” Day pondered. “It’s not. So, I will return to the race when KGHM Ajax is no longer a sponsor.” Kamloops Marathon spokesman Christopher Seguin told KTW the letter sent to Day by the race director was “ill thought-out and regrettable” — and it was. It is incumbent upon those behind
the Kamloops Marathon to ensure crucial sponsors are treated well, but the race itself received more unwanted attention via one letter sent than it ever would have had Day ran and won again in that T-shirt. KGHM Ajax, meanwhile, is again pulled into a spotlight it had nothing to do with creating. The mining company is a big player in community sponsorship in Kamloops, spending $20,000 on the marathon, which is organized by Thompson Rivers University, and spreading $200,000 across myriad city events last year. Some have decided to not patronize any event sponsored by KGHM Ajax, but taking that stand does nothing to impact the ultimate decision on its approval. It does, however, damage deserving charities and other groups that do so much good in Kamloops, including the United Way, Western Canada Theatre, Farm Kids Scholarship Program and Interior Community Services. The KGHM logo is at a lot of places — Interior Savings Centre, McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre, Music in the Park. There are a plenty of causes to boycott, but who is the boycott truly hurting? A reader commented on our website, saying she does not want to attend events with KGHM sponsorship as it brings the controversial mining project to the “forefront of my mind.” I would argue remaining “forefront” in the minds of Kamloops benefits Ajax opponents as much as it does the project’s parent company. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
Don’t add fuel to too many fires now burning The current heat wave has had most of us basking in the sun and enjoying the great outdoors — while we try not to inhale the smoke from distant forest fires. But, while we are soaking up summer, there is a responsibility that comes with living in an arid climate. As of yesterday (July 16), a campfire ban is in effect in the Kamloops Fire District, a huge swath of land that stretches from Blue River in the north to the U.S. border in the south, and from the Bridge River in the west to the Monashee Mountains in the east. At the risk of stating the obvious, we have been experiencing hot and dry conditions, with at least three daily-high record temperatures having been set in the past week. The fire-danger rating is at “extreme.” The primary reason campfires are banned is because if they get out of control and threaten homes and lives, they direct limited resources away from fires no one can do anything about — those caused by lightning. Obviously campfires are a summer tradition, whether you are sitting down along the lake or in your favourite provincial park. Who doesn’t love roasting marshmallows and telling stories as the flames crackle? But, another tradition the Thompson-Okanagan is becoming known for is wildfires. Given that so many neighbourhoods are in the interface, it’s a question of when the next wildfire occurs, not if. Authorities did not easily make the decision to ban campfires, but they understand certain measures are required to ensure this summer remains as char-free as possible. Do your part. Follow the rules.

Re: Story: Kamloops Marathon’s defending champ won’t race due to Ajax sponsorship:
“Ryan Day is allowed his opinion and if he wants to wear a political shirt, go ahead. “That’s his right. “Hopefully, he will bring his concerns to his band’s chief. The only thing that would honestly slow down Ajax is First Nations opposition.� — posted by John “To each his own, but this fellow probably has no issue wearing shoes made in a sweat shop from oil-based products.� — posted by Yuri

AIR QUALITY DEBATE CONTINUES Dave Eagles/KTW
Editor: Re: Posting on kamloopsthisweek.com by a reader named Grunpe with respect to the air-quality debate arising from the Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment: Grunpe wrote: “Remember, most doctors are not scientists . . .� Considering the discussion is about the opinions of medical doctors, rather than those with doctorates in music or kite-flying, perhaps Grunpe could explain how it is that some doctors are scientists, but “most� aren’t. Does Grunpe think they got their degrees through theatre arts? I’m guessing Grunpe skipped high school, when future doctors started to specialize in sciences. G.S. Duncan Kamloops Editor: These past months, driving to Kamloops on the Highway 1 from the east, I’ve been watching the gigantic excavations being dug, the dirt hauled away into a huge pile, then hauled back. At no time have I seen excess dust, nor heard excessive noise in spite of the many pieces of huge equipment operating. At times, I have stopped to watch and enjoy the action. It occurred to me this is not unlike what will be happening up at Ajax, if the mine is approved. I would have thought if the PM 2.5 readings were of concern, doctors and physicians in opposition would have been jumping all over, condemning this project and using it as an example as an illustration to us of our ignorance. But, no. You can’t measure something that is not there, which is why they resort to “greenie� fearmongering. Errol Borsky Kamloops
Editor: Like many others, I have always held to the belief our political leaders — however flawed — are morally bound to safeguard the interests of the population they govern. Our present government must consider itself exempt from this moral responsibility and many citizens appear blind or indifferent to this problem. Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone, as transportation minister, has increased the speed limit on several highways to 120 km/hr. He has done so against the recommendations of various informed groups, including the RCMP and ICBC. We can now expect many drivers to exceed this new limit and travel at 130 km/hr. Does this mean that, in a few years, Stone will once again raise the speed limit? Who is served by a law that will likely increase the frequency and lethality of accidents? We might also ask Stone how the public interest is served by reducing ferry service to some coastal communities. I think many would agree the public would be better served by reducing the wages of BC Ferry management so some vital services can be maintained. This is not rocket science. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake, as minister of health, remains silent about the proposed KGHM Ajax proposal. Like others, he is “waiting for the results of the environmental assessment.� Apparently, not even the wellresearched document distributed by Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment has prompted Lake to be more active in the discussion. Whose interests are served by his silence? I expect as minister of health, Lake could be somewhat more vocal and involved in asking questions and demanding answers about the health impacts. Does he not recognize the dif-
ference between “neutrality� and “indifference�? There are certainly other recent examples of our provincial government acting in ways that seem quite contrary to our public good. There are also glaring instances of our government failing to act in ways that are clearly in the interests of all British Columbians. For example, the Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution last fall asking the provincial government to modernize the Mineral Tenure Act. Even with a clear blueprint about how the act could be changed to serve the citizens of B.C. and the mining industry, the government has basically ignored requests for change. Letters sent to politicians expressing the importance of making changes have been met with silence or, worse, responses that entirely (and deliberately?) miss the point. I find it quite astonishing that potentially harmful legislation can be passed with the stroke of a pen, while advancing change that is clearly in the public interest requires Herculean efforts to even be noticed. How is the general population served by such a system? How can our leaders be held to account for decisions that are contrary to the public good or for indecisiveness that allows harm to their constituents? Many citizens have no doubt become entirely disenchanted with the political system and choose to not participate. They see no point in voting, writing letters or protesting political incompetence. Sadly, it is their silence that undermines our democracy and allows some politicians to ignore the well-being of those they were elected to serve. Like the song says, “You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone.� Andrew Bezooyen Kamloops

Cavers: New plans equal new meetings
SUMMER FRIDAY, JULY 18 TO THURSDAY, JULY 24
X From A1
Both KGHM and the EAO have said they think it is unlikely the changes will lead to a major revision of the mine’s application information requirements, which would trigger another public-comment period, though locations studies must be conducted and other details of the plan will change. Cavers said the new plans are reason enough to give the public another chance to make their thoughts known. “I don’t think they’re trying to pull a fast one on us, but I do think the public needs to be able to comment on the actual site design,” he said. Coun. Tina Lange said she likens the comment process to a city public hearing, at which both experts and members of the public have a chance to air their views. “We get questions we haven’t thought of, that the experts haven’t thought of,” she said. “The more eyes on this the better. You can’t engage the public too much and, as a council, this is something we have always stood behind.” City public works director Jen Fretz said the EAO is consulting with a group of experts, of which she is a member, about the changes to the Ajax project. Members of the group have four weeks to review the updates to the mine’s requirements and to flag any concerns that aren’t met by those changes. “The door is not closed, I guess is what I’m saying,” Fretz told council. “It was very clear that we as a technical working group were able to take that information away and then get into a more fulsome review.” Fretz said she hasn’t spent enough time studying the new documents as of yet to say whether major changes to Ajax’s studies will be required.

Jail for city woman who recorded assaults By Tim Petruk
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops woman who recorded video of violent and humiliating assaults she committed against people who owed her drug debts will spend the next two-plus years behind bars. Mary Dyson, 30, pleaded guilty to two counts each of assault causing bodily harm, assault with a weapon and unlawful confinement, as well as a single count of break and enter. At a sentencing hearing last month,
MARY DYSON: Her lawyer says she is intent on rehabilitation.
court was shown video Dyson recorded of assaults she committed against people who owed her drug debts. Crown prosecutor Sarah Firestone said Dyson’s spree of intimidation, brutal assaults and humiliation of victims started in February 2012 when she beat a housemate with a baton for allegedly skimming drug money. Dyson also told a male friend to punch the housemate. Some of the charges for violence came after Dyson was arrested on drug offences. After obtaining a search warrant, police found videos on cards in her purse showing
the assaults on her victims. The video also showed Dyson shaving Renee Chan’s head and demanding that she call herself a “goof” — a serious and derogatory term in the drug and jail subcultures. Police also obtained video showing Dyson directing Chan to beat another woman with drug debts. That included putting helmets on both of them while Chan beat the debtor with a stick — all of it captured on shaky video. During sentencing arguments on June 26, defence lawyer Chris Thompson said Dyson was never interested in going to trial on the charges, despite the fact many of her victims would be unlikely to co-operate with the Crown on testimony. Instead, he said, Dyson wanted to face the consequences and is rehabilitating herself through programs in prison. On June 26, Dyson spoke for more than a half-hour about her life, including being sexually abused by her father — who was acquitted at trial several years ago — and the drowning death of her twin brother, John, who fell into the South Thompson River following a police chase in 2008. Through tears, Dyson told of her descent into crystal meth, heroin and crack addiction, of prostitution and homelessness. She blamed the drug collection on a brutal system of other enforcers leaning on her. Thompson, said it was all done at the behest of Mark Salai — someone he accused of running a drug and enforcement ring. Thompson said Dyson claimed she was once raped by a police officer and that a psychologist took inappropriate photos of her. He also read part of a letter sent to Dyson

Trial dates have been set for a convicted Kelowna killer’s retrial in Kamloops. Neil Snelson appeared in person at the Kamloops Law Courts on Monday, July 14, as dates were set for his second trial in the 1993 death of Jennifer Cusworth. In 2011, a jury found Snelson guilty of manslaughter following a trial for first-degree murder in the cold-case
death of Jennifer Cusworth. Cusworth, 19, was found beaten and strangled in a ditch in the Mission area of Kelowna in October 1993. Snelson was arrested in 2009 and has been in custody since. The jury’s guilty verdict was called into question on appeal, based on the fact the trial judge erred in allowing jurors to see part of a video in which Snelson told a police officer he was not
sure how he will plead to the charges he’s facing. A three-judge B.C. Court of Appeal panel ruled last September that Snelson should be granted a new trial. In April, the Crown consented to having Snelson’s re-trial held in Kamloops. Jury selection is slated for May 4, 2015, with a four-week trial to begin on May 25, 2015.

Trial on threatening judge moved to Surrey A Kamloops man accused of threatening to harm a provincial-court judge and assaulting a correctional officer while behind bars has been successful in moving one of his trials to the Lower Mainland. Landon Hayes Kibbe is facing one count each of assaulting a peace officer and uttering threats. He is alleged to have assaulted a
Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre officer while in custody on Sept. 18. The other charge was laid after an incident in April, when Kibbe allegedly threatened Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley. The 29-year-old, who is in custody at North Fraser Pretrial Centre in Port Coquitlam, was in court last month claim-
ing it would be impossible for him to get a fair trial in Kamloops, given the fact his alleged victim is a local judge and one of the witnesses is a prosecutor. Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame has ranted Kibbe’s wish to move his threats trial to Surrey. He is due in Surrey provincial court today (July 17) to set a date.
Swing and a miss — lumber man may face charges Kamloops Mounties are considering whether to charge a man who caused a disturbance outside a downtown convenience store by swinging a piece of lumber. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl
Bush said police were called to the 7-Eleven store at Sixth Avenue and Seymour Street just before 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 16, for a report of an agitated man swinging a large piece of wood at a
delivery truck. When officers arrived, the man took
off on foot. He was arrested a block away. Bush said Mounties
are looking into whether the 37-year-old will face charges.

Energy savings offered to lower-income families By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
tfletcher@blackpress.ca
BC Hydro and FortisBC are expanding their low-income energy conservation programs to reduce the impact of rising electricity costs. One program offers free energy-saving kits, including compact fluorescent light bulbs, weatherstripping, thermometers to optimize operation of the fridge and freezer and a highefficiency shower head. The other program offers free home-energy evaluations to see if the home qualifies for an energy-efficient refrigerator or extra insulation. Energy Minister Bill Bennett said the govern-
ment changed regulations to increase the lowincome cutoff to qualify for the programs. A family of four earning up to $57,200 can now qualify, up from $44,000, a change Bennett said will almost double the number of households eligible. The threshold for a two-person household is $47,100. Customers of the two utilities have to apply and provide proof of income to take advantage of the programs. Bennett said last November he would seek ways to provide extra help for lowerincome customers when he unveiled a new BC Hydro rate plan.
That plan will see electricity rates rise by 28 per cent over the next five years, with further increases to be determined at that time. BC Hydro has other energy-saving incentives that are not income-tested, including a rebate program for installation of insulation, draft proofing, heat pumps and water heaters. Those require homeowners to pay for assessment to see if they qualify for rebates. Bennett said BC Hydro spends $160 million a year on its whole range of energy efficiency programs, including those for commercial and industrial customers.

Tidiness, environmental awareness, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscaping and floral displays. For the past three years, Sun Rivers has earned a five-bloom rating from CIB judges — the highest number of blooms possible. Loadman said that’s a big accomplishment for the community, not because it’s near the bottom of the 1,001 to 5,000 population class in which it competes, but because Sun Rivers is judged against municipalities. “We’re able to compete straight across even though we don’t have all the things a municipality

Sa-Hali secondary graduate Sophia de Zeeuw has accepted a $22,000 scholarship to pursue her bachelor of business administration at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. The TRU Ambassador’s Entrance Scholarship recognizes documented exemplary leadership and community service, combined with academic excellence. De Zeeuw is one of six people to receive the TRU award in 2014. Other recipients are from schools in Barriere, Clearwater, Salmon Arm, Kelowna and Duncan.
With Communities in Bloom (CIB) judges due in Sun Rivers today (July 17), residents have been putting a little extra time into their mowing and gardening efforts this week. “Everyone’s out there sprucing up,� CIB co-chair Karri Loadman said. “It’s easy to get people to do yard maintenance when the judges are coming. It’s looking really good and everyone’s really positive.� Judges will be in the community for a dayand-a-half, arriving this afternoon for a reception with the Tk’emlups Indian Band, with judging to follow on Friday and Saturday. It’s an unusual year for Sun Rivers, Loadman said, because the 2014 judging panel will be the same as 2013. Typically, a community is visited by a different slate of judges each year. “It’s been good for us because we couldn’t be complacent at all,� Loadman said. “We really had to step up our game because they were here last year and we have to show them all the new stuff that we’ve got in place for this year and take them to areas we didn’t take them to last year.� Judges will start their visit at the Secwepemc Museum and Heritage Park, where they will
tour the park’s ethnobotanical garden and take in a performance by the Sage Hill Singers. At Sun Rivers, they will visit the community’s new dedication garden and Earth Day tree-planting site, meet with landscapers and residents and visit the Sun Rivers community garden. Don’t expect to see CIB judges in Kamloops this year, however. The Tournament Capital is sitting out the competition this year as it prepares to host CIB’s Canadian conference and awards ceremony in 2015. Communities are judged on six criteria:

What is so scary about GMOs?
W
OULD you eat a plant that makes its own toxic pesticides, contains DNA from viruses and bacteria, sports genes that emerged from random strings of DNA code and whose DNA human beings have mercilessly chopped and manipulated, producing who knows what toxins and allergens? Before you get out that pitchfork and march against Monsanto, you might like to know which crop varieties are “scary” like that. I’ll tell you. All of them — organic included. That scary-sounding stuff is just ordinary crop biology. Not scary, after all. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are even less scary. Conventional breeding methods — like cross-breeding (mil-
DAN RYDER Rational THOUGHTS lennia old) and X-ray bombardment (nearly a century old) — randomly smash up DNA with a sledgehammer. By comparison, genetic engineering is carefully managed minor tweaking. Not surprisingly, then, hundreds of independent (not industryfunded) studies have failed to turn up a single valid health concern tied to GMOs. What’s more, GMO crops are all tested up the wazoo, while nonGMO crops aren’t. As a result, it’s actually the
non-GMO crops that are more likely to have hidden toxins and allergens. Sometimes problems are so severe they surface even without testing, such as a toxic cross-bred celery in California, the infamous Lenape potato and the organic “killer zucchini” in New Zealand. In other words, yes, GMOs can in principle cause health problems, but they aren’t any different from non-GMOs in this respect — and, in practice, the track record of GMOs is actually better. What about the environment? GMO crops have actually been helpful in reducing negative effects, like lowering toxic pesticide use, sometimes quite drastically. True, there can be risks as well, like the recent emergence of
herbicide-resistant weeds in Iowan corn fields. But, that is equally true of organic agriculture which, among other things, typically increases acidifying pollution. It would be silly to respond by banning organic methods and genetic modification, both useful tools in the quest for food security. Instead, we should manage the risks. In the GMO corn case, at least, there are proven methods for doing so. These opinions are not just my own. I share them with the world’s most respected science and health organizations. The American Association for the Advancement of
“buy” these organizations on climate change; how could comparatively tiny Monsanto do so on GMOs? It couldn’t. I don’t much care whether Monsanto suffers from poor public relations, but anti-GMO advocates have also prevented the release of vitamin A-fortified golden rice, resulting in thousands needlessly going blind and even dying in impoverished regions of Asia. It’s not GMOs that are scary. It’s the destructive power of well-intentioned, but misplaced, fear. Dan Ryder is a philosophy professor at UBC Okanagan. He also has degrees in biology and neuroscience.

Science, the National Academies of Science, the American Medical Association, The Royal Society and the World Health Organization have all stated GMOs are just as safe for health and the environment as non-GMO crops. They looked at all the masses of evidence, not just the handful of flawed studies waiting to pounce on the ordinary Googler from antiGMO websites. Anti-GMO advocates sometimes dismiss this scientific consensus as “corporate-sponsored,” as in two recent letters to the editor in KTW.

How to guarantee growth — at no cost
I
N PREVIOUS columns, we’ve addressed the necessity of having a practice of intentional silence (meditation) in place, on a daily basis, if we are to make any headway beyond the restrictive constraints of our personalities. Let me be clear: There is absolutely nothing wrong, in and of themselves, with these personalities of ours. It’s just that they put blinders on us and, therefore, we simply are not capable of seeing how strong and capable we actually are. Some characteristics we are born with; they are in our DNA. Such fundamentals as our ancestry, our particular family of origin and the astrological sign we were born under all fall under this category. Other aspects of
BRIAN PUIDA MITCHELL You Gotta Have FAITH our personalities we develop over time — our likes and dislikes, our opinions, our fears, our hopes, our desires, the way we express our creativity and our way of expressing our feelings. These characteristics are not written in stone and can be modified over time. Neither of these two realities, however, need to control who we are nor how we think, feel and live. In fact, they are not all of who we are. Beneath our person-
alities, beneath these “smaller selves,” there exists within each of us a true Self. This Self is intimately linked and connected to, and in a relationship with, the Divine, the Source, the Ultimate Reality — with what I will refer to as God. Most of us are largely ignorant of the existence of this person who resides at the core of our being. Instead of living from this place of absolute fullness, we have come to rely on our very interesting, but finally rather shabby, personality. It’s like we have a thoroughbred horse underneath us and we keep reining it, in rather than letting it run free as it was born to do. We’ll all get to the finish line of death eventually, but ask yourself: Would you not rather run the race
as beautifully and powerfully as you are capable of doing? The one practice that has been identified in all religious traditions as being able to move us from the smaller self into the larger Self is meditation/contemplation. (I gave details in my last column of the form I recommend. It’s available online at kamloopsthisweek.com.) If you do decide to pursue a practice, there is one thing you need to know in order to move easily between the small, ego-oriented, self and the larger, essential and true Self. It’s all a question of with what you identify. Do you identify yourself as a Virgo who likes ice cream and travelling? Or do you identify yourself as an intimate of the Beloved? As a lover of God?
beyond “self” improvement. And it’s free. It’s called meditation — or contemplation, as it has been known historically in the West. You might want to give it some serious consideration. You will come to know a Self that you couldn’t have imagined in your wildest dreams. It is rooted in the One. It is beautiful and true. And you will come to trust it with your whole heart. Who are you, really? Where is your home? For those of us following a spiritual path (mine is mystical/ wisdom Christianity), we surely owe it to ourselves, not to mention our family, friends and our God, to claim the profound wonders of
the path we’re walking. There are countless self-improvement methods in the marketplace. They will cost you varying amounts of money. Some will help. Some not so much. There is, however, only one practice that guarantees growth

Bridge Baptist has summer fun for kids The Bridge Baptist Church will be hosting a free morning kids’ club at McDonald Park in North Kamloops from July 21 to July 24. All children entering kindergarten through Grade 7 in September are invited to join in on the adventurous week. The D3 Detective Agency will lead kids to trace it back to just the facts. The evidence is clear and the proof is all right there! Children can discover, decide and defend the truth about who Jesus really is at Agency D3. Through a week of music, crafts, stories, and recreations, kids will go on an adventure of a lifetime that is sure to stay with them. The free camp will take place each day from 9 a.m. to noon. Space is limited. To register, call Ryan Levi, youth minister at the Bridge Baptist Church, at 250-554-3998 (extension 1003) or email ryanlevi@bridgebaptistchurch. com. The congregation meets in Calvary Community Church at 1205 Rogers Way in Aberdeen. � The church will also be hosting a children’s event called Wilderness Escape: Where God Guides and Provides from July 28 to Aug. 1.
Children will step back in time at Wilderness Escape, exploring some of the adventures faced by Moses and the Israelites. Kids will participate at the Israelite Camp, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, dig into Bibletimes snacks and visit the ancient Israelite leader, Moses. New this year will be a highenergy game called Organized Mass Chaos. Each day will conclude with Celebration — a time of upbeat worship that gets everyone involved. Kids at Wilderness Escape Kids Club will join nearly a million participants reaching out to needy kids through a hands-on service project called Operation Kid-to-Kid, in which children will raise money to provide clean water in India. Additionally, participants will spend an entire afternoon in service projects to benefit the local community. Wilderness Escape will run from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. each day. Space is limited. For more information or to register, go online to www.bridgebaptistchurch.com/ministries/kids-club or call Kyla at 250554-3998. The church website is at bridgebaptistchurch.com.

Wildfire forces evacuations Rescuers ‘dumbfounded’ by thefts Hudson’s Hope residents told to leave as forest burns CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — An evacuation order has been issued for the District of Hudson’s Hope in northeastern British Columbia as the Mount McAllister wildfire threatens the community. About 1,150 residents have been told they must immediately leave the area and go to an emergency reception centre to register. Police and emergency officials are going door-to-door to homes and businesses telling people they are required to leave. Navi Saini of the Wildfire Management Branch said lightning caused the fire that was first reported Sunday and it has grown substantially. “It’s doubled in size from yesterday,’’ she said. “So, yesterday evening it was 10,000 hectares in size, and today it’s 20,000.’’ She said officials are cur-

VANCOUVER — For the fourth time in two weeks, and the second time in a single location, vandals have robbed a cache used by the Lower Mainland’s North Shore Rescue team. Spokesman Doug Pope said the cache near Norvan Falls, a rugged region in the range north of Grouse Mountain, was hit even before it could be restocked following the first theft found June 26. He said the entire team of roughly 40 members is dumbfounded and wonders who would stoop so low as to target a volunteer operation dedicated to saving lives in Metro Vancouver’s deceptively treacherous backcountry. Pope says more than $30,000 worth of equipment has been taken

since the first heist was discovered June 25 in the Hanes Valley, north and west of Norvan Falls. He said the thefts come at the team’s busiest time of year and force members to restock and do additional fundraising, although a local business donated $10,000 to cover
replacement costs in the wake of June incidents. North Shore Rescue depends on its strategically-place equipment as relay and supply points, so members can carry less gear while trekking quickly into the bush on the estimated 90 rescue missions conducted annually. — Canadian Press

IQALUIT — A smouldering blaze in the Nunavut capital’s garbage dump continues to spew acrid fumes onto the city, where the roads are dotted with Inuit children on their bicycles, enjoying the summer’s 19 hours of daylight. Iqaluit officials say a lack of money and manpower prevents them from dousing the fire almost two months after it started, and wonder why neither Ottawa nor the Nunavut government has stepped up with funds for the territorial capital and its most populous town. “The fire department doesn’t have enough workers to commit to putting it out, and the city doesn’t have the funds to put it out or to hire more people,’’ Romeyn Stevenson, Iqaluit’s deputy mayor, said in an interview. “The government of Nunavut says they don’t have the money, and the federal government just seems to have forgotten about us completely. “They sent some Environment Ministry officials up for a few days and then said the fumes weren’t dangerous, and then we really haven’t heard from them since.’’ Health Canada and Environment Canada have reported no major air-quality issues. But, they have yet to make public any information on dioxins and furans — toxic chemicals released when hazardous waste is burned. The stench that hangs over the Arctic boomtown when the wind blows from the west is often putrid, forcing residents to cover their mouths and noses when they walk outdoors, or to stay inside during temperate summer months that are feverishly anticipated all winter long. Last month, the Nunavut Health Department warned those with heart and lung disease, the elderly and the very young to stay indoors as much as possible, with the windows closed. Schoolchildren were also sent home for two days from two local schools when the fumes were particularly thick. Nunavut is also dealing with a tuberculosis crisis. There have been 46 new cases in the territory this year, several in Iqaluit, where families are often forced to live in over-crowded conditions due to a lack of social housing. The garbage fire — dubbed “dumpcano’’ by locals — is about the size of a football field and centred somewhere deep within the vast piles of trash in Iqaluit’s dump. The site sits on a finger of land jutting into Frobisher Bay, and is visible from almost every vantage point in town. Indeed, when the premiers of Alberta, Nunavut, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories posed for photos last week outside a downtown hotel overlooking the bay, the plumes of stinky smoke were clearly visible behind them. The town’s fire chief, Luc Grandmaison, presented a plan to douse the fire to city council last week. It would cost at least $4.5 million, and would involve cooling the smouldering garbage with millions of litres of seawater in an almost round-theclock effort that would take nearly two months to complete. Pumps to assist in that proposal are en route to Iqaluit from Pangnirtung, further north on Baffin Island, said Stevenson. The pumps are expected to arrive on Thursday, but there’s still no money or manpower to tackle the job.

Chris Alexander told a Vancouver news conference that a startup visa program has generated enormous interest though he couldn’t specify how many applications have been received.

TORONTO — An island community on Lake Ontario expressed a mix of relief and frustration Wednesday after a video which had many wondering if a shark was lurking nearby turned out to be an elaborate marketing ploy. The clip made waves across the province and beyond, with many offering opinions on what they were seeing, although experts agreed the creature on camera wasn’t a fresh-waterfriendly bull shark but likely a large catfish. It was only on Wednesday afternoon that Discovery Canada, which is owned by broadcasting giant Bell Media, said a finned creature which momentarily surfaced while three men fished off a dock was in fact a life-like prosthetic model of a shark. — Canadian Press Follow us at:

Accused in triple First Nation pulls out of pipeline talks murder makes brief court appearance By Lauren Krugel CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — A man charged with murder in the disappearance of a Calgary boy and his grandparents has made a brief appearance in court. Douglas Garland wore a blue jail jumpsuit and appeared via closed-circuit TV DOUGLAS GARLAND in front of a packed public gallery. The case has been adjourned to Aug. 14 to allow time for evidence to be disclosed to the defence. Garland faces two counts of first-degree murder and one charge of second-degree murder in the deaths of Alvin and Kathy Liknes and their five-year-old grandson Nathan O’Brien. Their bodies have not been found, but Calgary’s police chief says investigators have evidence they are dead. Garland’s sister was in a relationship with a member of the Liknes family, but police have not disclosed what they think motivated the killings. — Canadian Press
CALGARY — An aboriginal group that lives in northern Alberta’s oilsands region has withdrawn from a regulatory hearing into the proposed Grand Rapids crude pipeline, but the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation vowed to explore other ways to fight the $3-billion project. The ACFN announced late Tuesday it would no longer be participating in the Alberta Energy Regulator’s process, which it criticized as too rushed and skewed in favour of the oil industry. Landowners along the proposed route raised similar concerns when hearings kicked off last month. The group had been scheduled to appear before the panel on Wednesday to lay out its concerns about the pipeline, which would ship up to 900,000 barrels per day from near Fort McMurray to the Edmonton area. “The AER put us in an impossible position. I am dumbfounded by this process,’’ chief Allan Adam said in a statement.

tion was that the ACFN wanted an 18-month adjournment to examine changes TransCanada had made to its environmental protection plan, which he said went above and beyond what was required. “The bottom line is, an 18-month adjournment on a pretty minor change to one document was just not feasible,’’ said Barter. “We run a very fair process. All of the parties that have been participants in the hearing have been provided the same information at the same time.’’ Barter said the AER has been flexible in accommodating schedules. “So we’re disappointed, but the hearing process has to continue.’’ TransCanada spokesman Davis Sheremata said the ACFN has had access to a “fundamentally complete’’ version of the plan since last September. TransCanada started discussions with the ACFN in late 2012, but little progress has been made, Sheremata said. “ACFN was provided with meaningful opportunities to participate in the project, including
a tour of the TransCanada Oil Control Centre, involvement in biophysical studies for the project where they could share their traditional knowledge, and to conduct a traditional land use and traditional ecological knowledge study,’’ Sheremata said. “Unfortunately, ACFN have not taken advantage of these opportunities to participate.’’ For its part, the ACFN’s chief said TransCanada has dealt with the band in “bad faith’’ and has been trying to “buy us off.’’ The Grand Rapids pipeline is a 50-50 partnership between TransCanada Corp. and a unit of PetroChina. The ACFN has called it the “mother of all pipelines’’ with a capacity nearly double what the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline would ship to the B.C. coast. The group has said more high-profile, long haul projects like Energy East and Keystone XL would not be able to go ahead without volumes from Grand Rapids. Sheremata disputed that characterization, saying Energy East and Keystone XL don’t hinge on Grand Rapids being built.

The Grand Rapids hearing is the first by the AER since it replaced the Energy Resources Conservation Board last year and took over duties from the province’s Environment Department. Adam said the new process is “fundamentally flawed.’’ “It is supposed to be the test of the new regulatory regime for oil and gas and pipelines in Alberta,” he said. “Yet, it has seriously undermined our efforts to address any concerns about First Nations impacts.’’ In his remarks to the panel, Adam made reference to a Supreme Court of Canada ruling two weeks ago that recognized a B.C. First Nation’s title over a tract of land. “The rights of aboriginal people must be taken seriously,’’ he said. “Crown and industry can lo longer assume that First Nations must simply do whatever government and industry want.’’ The AER and pipeline builder TransCanada Corp. both said they were “disappointed’’ in the ACFN’s decision to pull out of the hearings.

If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more. If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say “I love you,” instead of assuming you would KNOW I do. If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there’s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right. There will always be another day to say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance to say our “Anything I can do?”
But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight. So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you’ll surely regret the day, That you didn’t take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you’ll always hold them dear Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or “It’s okay.” And if tomorrow never comes, you’ll have no regrets about today. © Norma Cornett Marek ~ 1989

IDA (EDA) CRAFT Born: October 2 1917 - Died: July 10, 2014 Ida was born to Kate and Julius Boettger on 2 Oct 1917 in Findlater, Saskatchewan. Her family was forced by Depression circumstances to move to BC in February 1932. Their cold, tenday journey began in a freight car which they shared with their livestock. They left the train at Castlegar and continued by barge, up the Arrow Lakes to Edgewood. From there they traveled by horse and sleigh to Needles where they lived for two years with extended family, saving money for a move to Fauquier in April of 1935. There they built a log house, cleared the land, seeded hay and planted a garden and fruit trees. Ida often attributed her hardworking, modest and thrifty character to her no-frills pioneer’s upbringing Ida married William (Bill) Craft February 15, 1937 and moved with him back to Needles. They ran a coffee shop -- the Ferry Café -- for several years in the early 1950’s. Ida also ran the Post Office, first in Needles and later in Fauquier, where they moved in 1968 when Needles was flooded with the building of the Keenleyside Dam at Castlegar. Ida had a wide range of interests and talents. She was a gardener of vegetables and flowers and preserved many a jar of fruit and veggies. She was a great cook, renowned for her doughnuts, cinnamon rolls, bread, hot-cross buns, hermit cookies and Yorkshire pudding. She quickly learned the art of cake decorating, and her art was displayed at many weddings in the area. She loved to fish, crochet and play cards, especially bridge, 500 and crib, and she was unforgiving of miscues by herself and, more pointedly, by others at the card table. Strong and active all her life, Ida played softball in her early years, a mean game of badminton, and was more-than-competent at bowling and golf. She loved more than anything to dance and was accomplished at foxtrot, waltz, or a lively two-step. Until very recently, she was known for her brisk daily walk and her light step on the dance floor. She was also a long-standing, loyal Toronto Blue Jays fan, convinced that it was only the collusion of the American teams that prevented the Blue Jays from going all the way! She had an adventurous side and travelled widely to England, New Zealand, Japan, Hawaii, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and, with her sister Tillie, across Canadadriving them both. Ida was an enthusiastic community member – an active member of the Royal Canadian Legion Auxiliary and the Women’s Institute for many years. She contributed to community-based celebrations such as Canada Day, Thanksgiving Day and Remembrance Day, and hosted many memorable Christmas celebrations. Ida was predeceased by her husband Bill, parents Julius and Kate, brothers Oscar and Gordon, and sisters Alice, Tillie and Winnie. She is survived by daughter Dorothy (Roy) Dixon, of Kamloops, sons, Ed (Marian) of Castlegar and Don (Kate) of Kamloops, nine grandchildren, thirteen greatgrandchildren, two great-great-grandchildren, brother Robert (Joan) Boettger and many nieces and nephews.
She was a warm and supportive mother, mother-in-law and Nan, and will be deeply missed.
GORDON KENNETH CHRISTIANSEN Passed in: Kamloops, British Columbia March 9, 1949 ~July 11, 2014
It is with heavy hearts that we say good-bye to a loving partner, father, grandfather and friend, Gord Christiansen. After living with cancer, he passed away peacefully in hospice on July 11, 2014 at the young age of 65. Born on March 9, 1949 in Coronation, Alberta, he is predeceased by his father (Hilmer), mother (Elisabeth), brother and three sisters; and, is survived by five sisters. Among those loved ones he leaves behind are his daughter Kendra and granddaughter “Rookie” (Jaydra) of Victoria, and two sons Tyler of Edmonton and Troy of Kamloops, as well as his loving life partner, best friend and travel companion Pamela Hoffman and her children Tyler and partner Sean of Vancouver, and Brady and partner Jessica and grandchildren “Ben Ben” (Bennett) and Avyn of Langley. One of Gord’s life moto’s was “Work hard. Play Hard”. Coming from humble beginnings, he built a successful small business, Aero Heating & Air Conditioning, and a solid reputation in his community through hard work, pride and dedication. Gord wanted the best out of life - for himself and his family and did everything he could to make that happen. He also enjoyed many hobbies over the years. Gord loved to research travel destinations around the globe, and travelled to almost every place he dreamed of visiting. He enjoyed flying lessons, brewing wine, golfing and loved NASCAR and curling. A few of his most cherished memories included driving a race car at the NASCAR Fontana Speedway in California, getting to experience being a fighter pilot for a day with Air Combat USA, and sharing numerous vacations in Mexico with family and friends; especially, being able to celebrate two Christmas’ with his whole family in Puerto Vallarta. Gord was a private man but was always there to offer his ear and his wisdom - take it or leave it. “Do something even if it’s wrong”, he would say. Though he didn’t say the words often, by his actions, he showed those closest to him that he loved them deeply and would do anything for them. He would give the shirt off his back. From the family, a special thank you goes out to Gord’s sister, Shirley, and brother-in-law, Larry Colp of Edmonton. Larry, you were like the brother that Gord never had. Your support and friendship was very special and important to him - you meant the world to Gord. Also, a special thank you to Bev Hunter of Kamloops for all your love and support, and for always putting a smile on Gord’s face. Even when he wasn’t feeling well, you could always make him smirk. And, finally, thank you to the dedicated and compassionate staff of the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home for all you did to bring peace and comfort to Gord during his last few days on this earth. You are all truly an inspiration. Gord was a wonderful and amazing man, loved and cherished, and he will be deeply missed. As per Gord’s wishes, there will be no formal service held.

HAZEL EVELYN KALTENBACH
(GERTRUDE) EILEEN BLAIS
April 4, 1929 – July 11, 2014
(Gertrude) Eileen Blais, nee Ruckle, born March 3, 1926 and slipped free July 6, 2014. Mom was born on the family homestead in Celista, B.C. with the help of the local midwife, who extracted a promise from our grandfather that if the child were a girl, she would be named after herself, Gertrude Bragg. Our grandfather promised, but swore that the name Gertrude would never pass his lips - and it did not!
Forever in our hearts
Our mother grew up to be something of a rebel, and taught us all to be critical thinkers; she was an advocate of social justice long before there was such a term. Also of organic gardening, repurposing and recycling - she had an artist’s eye and skilled hands. When times were tough, and they often were, those talents were put to use. She could look at a much admired outfit in the catalogue and recreate it using an old coat or dress from a rummage sale for fabric; sweaters were unravelled and knit into new; our father’s army issue greatcoat became a pair of work pants worn for many, many years logging in the bush. Mom was the scourge of craft markets; she could walk through, see something she liked, turn it over and over in her hands, and then go home and reproduce it for herself. Likewise, a garden tour would end with wee slips of cuttings being pinched off and tucked in her purse, later to become their own handsome specimens. Her infectious sense of humour often bordered on the absurd, but infectious it was - on more than one occasion, our father walked into the house only to find every female in it doubled over with laughter, tears streaming down our faces, and promptly walked right back out. People watching was a pastime that she engaged in till the end - her observations pithy, insightful, and often terribly funny. Our mother was never shy with an opinion; she was an independent thinker who taught us to act on our beliefs. She was generous to those in need, and despised hypocrisy in all its forms; she made us strong, and we are grateful for that. Her legacy will live on in her children, Marcia Miner (Clint), Ron Blais, Terri Smith (Dan) and Faye Cassia (Jim), grandchildren Tymbre and Tyler Miner, Vanessa (Blais) Wheatley, Jon Bredick, Maitland, Christopher and Logan Cassia, as well as her greatgrandchildren, Dallen, Braydon, Drey, Vienne, Nash, Ashlee, Tristan, Aidan and Deklen. Messages of sympathy may be sent to Eileen’s family by viewing her obituary at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com.
It is with deep sadness that the family announces Hazel’s passing in Royal Inland Hospital at the age of 85. Lovingly remembered and missed by her husband of nearly 67 years, Fred, her children Don (Lynn), Karen Mulhern (Rob) and Greg (Jackie), grandchildren Heather (Earl), Bonnie (Norm), Sabrina (Jeff), Nicole (Dan), Bryce (Christine) and Shelby. Nana to her nine greatgrandchildren Jarrod, Leann, Ethan, Hannah, Amy, Megan, Mason, Ben and Rachel. Also left to mourn her passing are her sisters Eileen and Norma and several nieces and nephews. Mom was an amazing cook and made the best “goodies” ever, nothing was ever too much trouble, and family was everything to her. Special thanks to Mom’s family physician, Dr. H. Ritenburg, Aileen and the wonderful doctors and nurses in the E.R. and on 7 North for their care, compassion and support. Online condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

STEFAN (STEVE) PISARCZYK
VERIL BULAH JONES
1927- 2014
July 13, 1926 – July 9, 2014
Steve Pisarczyk passed away July 12, 2014. Left to mourn his passing are his wife Krystyna, his four sons, Roman (Wendy), Steve, John (Terry) and Bob. He was predeceased by his brother Roman and wife Ida.
Veril passed away peacefully at Royal Inland Hospital surrounded by her loving family.
Stefan was born in Gorlitza, Poland on February 7, 1927. He went to Salzburg, Austria at the age of 15 and worked on a farm until 1945 and later in a camp for people wanting to immigrate to other countries. He met Ida in Salzburg and they married in 1947. Their first son, Roman was born in Austria. After two years trying to get into the USA, he applied to come to Canada and was accepted in just a few weeks. Once Stefan came to Canada he had to work on a farm in Ontario for a year before he could bring his family from Austria. He moved to several different farms in Ontario during that year. Ida and Roman arrived in Canada in 1950. Stefan later accepted an opportunity to work for the CNR and moved to BC. Three more sons were born in Canada. They were Steve, John and Bob. His working career was spent in the North Thompson Valley and the family was raised in Birch Island. Stefan enjoyed working for the CNR and would eventually become a road master. When not at work he spent his time as an avid fisherman and hunter, passing on this passion to more than one son. Ida passed away in 1998 and Stefan was lucky enough to meet Krystyna whom he married in 1999. Stefan had 9 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, 5 step-great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren in Canada at the time of his passing.

F IT WEREN’T for his players, Ray Chadwick would want nothing to do with the Kamloops International Baseball Tournament. Two days after the tournament ended, the Kamloops Sun Devils’ coach was honest about the impact his players, most of whom grew up watching KIBT, have on his involvement. “If not for those kids, I would have no desire,” Chadwick told KTW on Tuesday, July 15. “I know the number of kids that came up through Kamloops minor ball, TRU, the RiverDogs, [who] now live here . . . those guys look forward to this every year and that’s the only reason I have anything to do with it.” KIBT returned to Kamloops on the weekend, following a one-year hiatus. The tourney was cancelled in 2013 when organizers felt they were unable to field enough teams. This year, it looked as though the event was back on track, with eight teams confirming attendance for the opening pitch in July. But, just a few weeks before it was to take over NorBrock Stadium, a pair of clubs dropped out. “So, they changed and put some weird format in that nobody has ever heard of or played in,” Chadwick said. Teams played two round-robin games, followed by a double-elimina-
tion playoff round. All six teams received playoff berths, regardless of standing. “That was the only disappointing thing about it was the format that we ended up playing — you’re playing two games that mean absolutely nothing when you’re playing in a money tournament.” Chadwick said the format changed how teams managed their rosters — one, for example, used its pitching coach and a position player on the mound in its first two games, waiting until the money round to go to its rotation. “It’s like one of the coaches on another team said, ‘Why play those first two games if everybody is going to the money round, anyway?” Chadwick continued. Dean Padar was familiar with Chadwick’s stance. The KIBT president heard the coach on the radio over the weekend and said Chadwick has expressed concerns with the tournament for a number of years. “Every team but one was very happy with the event,” Padar said, referring to Kamloops. The president said he had no problem with the players or the team, but with the man at the helm of the club. “From what I heard, through the press, according to Ray Chadwick, we can do no right. “And, to be honest, I’m just fed up with him. He has nothing good to say about the tournament. He complains about everything.
“He takes no responsibility for anything. He just blames and blames and blames.” Speaking with KTW on Tuesday, Chadwick didn’t dispute the charge that he’s critical of the tournament every year. He wants to see changes made and said he has offered to be involved in improving the tournament. “Yeah, it’s fair because I am. I’m very critical,” Chadwick said. “I’ve asked them to ask for help and they refuse any help from me and that’s fine. If they don’t want help from me, I’m fine with that. “People in baseball understand my frustration. So, when they talk to me about KIBT and I don’t want to talk to them about it, they know why.” Padar said organizers are committed to continuing the tournament in 2015, though he wouldn’t be opposed to stepping aside and letting someone else take the reins as he’s been at the helm for nearly 20 years. Though they may not see eye-to-eye on everything about this year’s tournament, Chadwick praised the work Padar and company put in getting KIBT back on the rails. “I’m critical of the tournament, yeah, but I know they put in a lot of work,” he said. “I know for six teams to come in and get the kind of baseball they got this weekend — there was a lot of close, well-played baseball games — as far as what the fans got to see, it was great.”

Heat readying for playoffs By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

Dylan Marshall of the Kamloops Rugby Club Raiders fends off a Bancroft’s School opponent at the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayeligh on Thursday, July 10. Kamloops earned a 39-20 victory over Bancroft’s, a touring team from Worcester, England. For more photos, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com. Allen Douglas/KTW
English come calling The Kamloops Rugby Club Raiders junior boys’ team hosted a pair of matches against touring English teams at the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh. Bancroft’s School, located in Worcester, was in town on Thursday, July 10, and Rugby School squared off with the Raiders on Monday, July 14. Kamloops earned a 39-20 victory over Bancroft, but it was a different story against Rugby School, which hammered the Raiders 57-0.
The game of rugby football owes its name to Rugby School, a prestigious private school in Warwickshire founded in 1567. One of the game’s founders, William Webb Ellis, attended Rugby School from 1816 to 1825. The Rugby World Cup trophy is named after Webb Ellis. Kamloops played the touring sides in England in the spring of 2013. See a slideshow at kamloopsthisweek.com for more pictures from the tilt against Bancroft.
The Kamloops Heat women finished the Pacific Coast Soccer League regular season on a losing note, dropping a 1-0 decision to the Peninsula Co-op Highlanders of Victoria on McArthur Island on Saturday, July 12. Kamloops (4-5-1) had already secured a playoff spot in the women’s premier division before playing the Victoria team, with the Challenge Cup championship tournament set to run in Penticton on July 26 and July 27. “We are pretty close to the top two teams (the first-place Highlanders and the second-place Vancouver Whitecaps Reserves), but we need to do a better job of finishing the chances we create,” Heat head coach Kelly Shantz said. “That has really been the margin in the last few games against these teams. “The girls had a great regular season, closing the gap on the

and Coquitlam. That tilt gets underway at 8 p.m. tonight (July 17) at Hillside Stadium. The top four men’s teams make the playoffs, so the Heat are guaranteed a place at the Challenge Cup.
Justin Wallace found the old onion bag for the visitors. The Heat men will finish in either third or fourth place, depending on what happens in the league’s two remaining games, one of which features Kamloops

Broncos working on public perception Local talent signs on to play football in Kamloops By Marty Hastings
By Marty Hastings
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Jan Antons, in his first season as general manager of the Kamloops Broncos, is doing his part to whip the junior football team into shape, endeavouring to better its reputation. “We’ve already implemented a lot of changes that make us look better in the community and we want to have a better relationship with the city,” Antons said. “That’s where we want to drive the program.” The B.C. Football Conference team’s GM said the changes are mostly simple, such as motivational signs and slogans in the dressing room, and aimed at creating a professional atmosphere for players. “Things like dress code and how you show up to practice, too,” Antons said. “You can’t just show up with a cut-off shirt, especially at the TCC [Tournament Capital Centre], where there is a lot of public watching.
The Kamloops Broncos announced the signing of six local players earlier this month, bringing to 12 the number of players from the River City on the team. Only the 2006 expansion Broncos had more local talent, with 20 players from the Tournament Capital on the roster.
STAFF REPORTER
STAFF REPORTER
“We are making behavioural changes, helping players make smarter decisions.” If the Broncos had been developing a bad rap in the River City, they seem to be making efforts to nip that in the bud. Yves Lacasse, formerly the city’s top cop and currently KGHM Ajax’s external-affairs manager, was brought in to speak to the squad last week about ethics at main camp. “We haven’t really had these things before,” Antons said, noting team brass parted ways with a small group of players with attitude issues. “We want to improve how professional the team is.”
“Part of our goal is to build football as a sport in Kamloops and not just for the Broncos,” said Jan Antons, general manager of the city’s B.C. Football Conference squad. “If you have that many local kids, it shows other kids in community football that there’s a future and they can stay in Kamloops.” Alex Beckett, Morgan Motokado,
Dayton Schadlich, Tristan Murray, Gray Malcolm and Jared Poelzer are the six local 2014 signees. All but Schadlich and Malcolm, both of whom attended Westsyde secondary, were members of the Valleyview Vikings. Former Vikings’ standout Lliam Wishart chose to play for the Okanagan Sun of Kelowna. “Lliam is the only
Kamloops kid we lost,” Antons said. Kyle Crall, Jack Gilliland, Connor Whitelaw, Ben Hoffman, Cortnal Kennedy and Jake Bainas are the team’s returning Kamloops products. The increasing number of local players indicates the health of football in the city is improving, Antons said, and its talent pool is increasing in size.
Representing the River City at B.C. Summer Games The Thompson-Okanagan under-17 girls’ rugby squad is in Nanaimo for the B.C. Summer Games. There are eight Kamloops representatives on the team, three girls from Kelowna and one girl from Salmon Arm. Thompson-Okanagan opens against VancouverSquamish on Friday, July 18.
Home opener The Kamloops Broncos are opening their B.C. Football Conference season at Hillside Stadium on Saturday, July 26, when the Westshore Rebels of Langford are in town. The tilt kicks off at 7 p.m.
MORTGAGE MATTERS Renters!! Are you ready to buy?
SCHEDULED POWER INTERRUPTION MONTE LAKE, WESTWOLD AND FALKLAND
People rent for very good reasons, and you may have many of them...but have you ever wondered if you are ready to buy? Here are a few considerations to review when deciding if you are ready to buy. 1) The Rental Market – What are the rents projected to be in the near future, how much
are you paying compared to similar rental units, what could your rental dollar do if it was put toward a mortgage payment?
BC Hydro will be making electrical system improvements in the Monte Lake, Westwold, and Falkland area on Sunday July 20th, 2014.
2) Employment – How safe is your employment, are you committed to the work force or considering school, is your income showing signs of stability/ increase/ or decrease, are you happy with your job?
To ensure the safety of our work crews, it will be necessary to interrupt electrical service for approximately 4 hours
3) Happiness – Is your current home meeting all your needs today, will your needs change in the near future, can your home suit your future needs?
Time: 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. When: Sunday, July 20, 2014 Where: The area affected is from Monte Lake including Paxton Valley Road, Barnhartville Road, Duck Range Road, and Hana Road, East to Falkland, including all side roads to Colebank Road and Cedar Hill Road.
5) Inventory – Perhaps most importantly...what is available for sale in your price range, in the neighbourhood you prefer and in the style of home that you desire? A premature step into something that is only second best for you and your family begs a “for sale sign” in your future. Get it right the first time. Shop the market and be prepared to take a break if what you see doesn’t make you happy. 6) Down Payment – Down payment is not always an obstacle if you are ready to buy. Some lenders will allow a borrow downpayment. However, in most cases, lenders like to see a 5% downpayment and 1.5% closing costs. This can come from a gift from family, savings, RRSP withdrawal etc. 7) Nobody Moves Nobody Gets Hurt – Staying exactly where you are involves the least amount of work, least amount of change and least amount of money out of your pocket...in the short term. Preparing yourself for home ownership is something that can start today and gets you set up for the long term. A trip to your mortgage broker is part of that plan. Contact me if you are interested in my once per month “mortgage school” home buying education series. Homebuyers and supportive friends and family are welcome!

To prepare for this interruption and protect your equipment from damage, turn off all lights, electric heaters, major appliances and unplug all electronics. For the first hour after the power comes back on, please only plug in or turn on those electronics and appliances that you really need. This will help ensure the electrical system does not get overloaded. We are sorry for the inconvenience. We will restore your power as soon as we can. Prepare for outages and stay informed by visiting bchydro.com/outages or bchydro.com/mobile from your handheld device. Please call 1 888 POWERON (1 888 769 3766) for more information.

4) Rate Trends – Low interest rates can mean your payment dollar can go further. Taking advantage of periods with low interest rates can put you in a higher value home for the same monthly payment as a less expensive house with a higher interest rate. What are the interest rates expected to do?

Ageless Findlay impresses on demanding trail run Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame member Peter Findlay just keeps on ticking. Findlay, now in his mid-50s, finished fourth out of 208 participants at the grueling 50-kilometre Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run in North Vancouver on Saturday, July 12. The race took runners up Black Mountain, a 4,000-foot climb, to Cypress Bowl ski area before descending to Cleveland Dam. The trail then climbs over the shoulder of Grouse Mountain to Lynn Canyon. It proceeds to traverse the Seymour Mountain section before finishing in Panorama Park in picturesque Deep Cove. Findlay finished the journey in 5:37:46. Mike Murphy of Maple Ridge won the race in 4:40:49. The impressive Kamloops runner won the race in five consecutive years, from 1990 to 1994, setting the course record in 1991. It has since been broken, in 2003. Findlay also won the race in 2004 and 2008. There were two other Kamloops runners at this year’s Knee Knackering — Tom
TOURNAMENT CAPITAL SPORTS
Nevin crossed the finish line in 7:53:14 and Stefan Albrecher clocked in at 8:49:26 Findlay was neckand-neck with Roy Kok of Vancouver heading into the race’s final stretch, where a sprint to the finish line ensued. Findlay crossed nine seconds ahead of Kok.
Bronze Blaze
The under-16 Kamloops Blaze boys, champions of the Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League, came home wearing bronze after competing at the A Cup Provincials in Burnaby on the weekend. The team had two victories, a loss and a draw. In the first match, Kamloops defeated Lakehill-Gorge 1-0 on a goal off the foot of Tomas Goddard. The second match was a 2-2 draw against Surrey, with Tukker Tomlin and Jeff Tulliani scoring the markers, before the team lost 3-2 against Burnaby.
Tukker and Tulliani again had the goals. In the bronze-medal match, against LakehillGorge, Kamloops won 3-2 in overtime. Tomlin, Kailum Nicolson and Zahk Barone scored for Kamloops. Matthew Mackenzie is the Blaze’s goalkeeper.
Hardware haul
Kamloops brought home an impressive medal haul from the 2014 Special Olympics Canadian Summer Games in Vancouver on the weekend. The Games, which began on July 8, wrapped up on July 12. Dallas Gilchrist finished with a silver medal in the 4 X 5-metre freestyle relay and a bronze medal in the 400-m freestyle. Krista McKee came home with a gold medal in the 25-m backstroke, a silver in the 25-m freestyle and a silver in the 25-m breaststroke. Joe Clouse participated in golf, while Lydia Richards finished fourth in five-pin bowling.
Summer swimmers
The Kamloops Tsunami Summer Swim Club held a meet earlier
this month. Sebastian Martin highlighted the event with three first-place finishes. Tyler Cloet won two gold medals. Dimitri Armstrong, Marina Ellison, Alexis Cloet and Peter Whitehead each won a race. For complete results, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.

In the first game, the RiverDogs doubled a determined Rutland team 8-4 on the strength of great pitching and timely hitting from Matthew MacDonald and Evan Gammell. In the back half of the doubleheader, the RiverDogs pushed past the Rockies 13-2. Strong defence supported another shared pitching performance from Marcus van Aert and Tyson Priestly. The Dogs broke the game open with seven runs in the fourth inning as they continued to hit Rutland’s pitchers.

BOOK REVIEW
Of children’s tales and the Russian Revolution As the Page Turns is a monthly column featuring reviews of recent books by members of the Thompson Rivers University English department. This month’s book is The Last Englishman: The Double Life of Arthur Ransome by Roland Chambers, Boston Godine 2012. It is reviewed by Darrell Laird, who teaches English at TRU.
R
EADERS of the classic children’s series Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome will recall their delight when the feared Chinese pirate, Missee Lee — who has taken Roger, Titty, John, Susan and the series’ other child-heroes prisoner — turns out to be Cambridge-educated and more interested in teaching her child captives Latin than holding them for ransom. Latin lessons in the summer are pretty bad, especially for Roger, the youngest and most adventurous Swallow. For those readers, it may come as a surprise to learn the familiar dust-cover author’s photo of a
DARRELL LAIRD As The Page TURNS tweedy, walrus-moustached, pipe-smoking, fly-fish-tying old buffer hid a man whose life was as adventurous as that of a China-Seas pirate. Roland Chambers’ biography spends little time on Ransome’s better known, but less eventful, life writing children’s stories and focuses on his Russian life as witness to the 1917 Revolution. On a personal level, the Revolution disrupted Ransome’s ambition to write for children. His father, Cyril Ransome, was a history professor at Yorkshire College who expected his son would follow a similar path. But, in 1902, five years after his father died, Ransome left school for London’s Grub Street world of small publishing houses and the

His first visit to Russia in 1913 was partly to escape a troubled marriage, partly to rest after an exhausting libel suit — brought by Alfred Lord Douglas for remarks in Ransome’s Oscar Wilde: A Critical Study — but mostly to collect Russian folk tales, a project completed with the wonderful Old Peter’s Russian Tales in 1916. Ransome spent much of the years between 1913 and 1924 in Russia, writing passionately. but not fanatically — as even the British government would come to admit — about the unfolding events. He had a privileged, if biased view. He fell in love with, and later married, Leo Trotsky’s personal secretary; he became the intimate friend (or dupe) of Vladimir Lenin’s chief propagandist, Karl Radek; he was in close communication with the head of the British mission in Russia, R. H. Bruce Lockhart, and with the head of the American Red Cross, Col. Raymond Robins. X See RANSOME B2
WILDCARD NIGHT AT DIRTY JERSEY There are few performers who can match the songwriting skills of Ridley Bent, whose penchant for penning tales of characters whose path is rarely straight results in songs that capture the best of storytelling and a pure country sound. Bent is touring to promote his new album, Wildcard — which follows his fantastic Rabbit on My Wheel of 2012 — and will play The Dirty Jersey, at 1200 Eighth St. Call 250-376-3786 for ticket information.

FROM THE B SECTION FRONT PAGE
Ransome stumbled into heart of the Revolution X From B1
Ransome’s hopes for the Revolution and his close ties to key participants led to articles for the Daily News and the Manchester Guardian and to the inflammatory pamphlet, On Behalf of Russia: An Open Letter to Americans, which prompted the New York Times to stop publishing his articles. The title of Chambers’ book, The Last Englishman, casts Ransome as a pre-First World War, middle-class Englishman, freer, thanks to the legacy of the British Empire’s wealth, power and sense of perpetual supremacy, to wander the world than anyone will likely be able to again.
Like a character in a fairytale, Ransome stumbled into the heart of the Revolution, becoming enchanted by its promise of freedom and equality, but turned homeward as the Red Terror increased in ferocity. As Chambers documents, the British government didn’t know what to make of Ransome — MI5 saw him as a traitor; MI6 hired him as a secret agent. Like Missee Lee, Ransome was caught between two worlds and he had to abandon many Russian ties to
re-establish himself in England with his faithful wife, Evgenia. For Canadians in
another precarious time, Chambers’ biography reminds us of the parallels between
then and now, especially those of conflicted loyalties. Finally, put-
ting politics aside, for those not yet acquainted with Ransome’s children’s
books, well, it’s summertime and, if you have a seven- to, say, 12-year-old who
likes to be read to, I recommend opening Swallows and Amazons at bedtime.

‘I think I’m the last great American hero’ California daredevil to break world-record with rocket jump in Merritt newsroom@merritherald.com
O
N AUG. 23, Mad Mike Hughes will attempt to put Merritt on the map. The California-based daredevil is planning a 2,000-foot, worldrecord-setting jump in his rocket at Sturgis Canada. “The whole world will know about Merritt, B.C.,” Hughes said over the phone from California, where he works as a private limo driver. He said he’s in negotiations with a TV station to film the jump and air it on the 40th anniversary of Evel Knievel’s famous Snake River Canyon jump in September. Hughes already has the distinction of being the world-record holder for the longest-distance rocket jump, which he gained by surpassing the Snake River Canyon jump with a half-mile journey over the Colorado River in 2010. This time, he’ll do something Knievel never did: Launch himself in the rocket again. “Personally, after I did it the first time, I know why Evel Knievel didn’t do it twice. It scared the pee out of him,” Hughes said. Hughes built the steam-powered rocket

himselff using knowledge off aerodynamics ned by working he gained ASCAR fabricaas a NASCAR tor. He taught himself the rest.t. “I started with nothing. I built the whole thing, the ramp, the rocket, designed it, engineered it, tested it, built the heating systems . . . “I taught myself,” he said. The rocket is powered by superheated steam, which is contained in a 77-gallon stainless steel tank from a 1950s airplane, in which it was used to hold oxygen for the pilots, Hughes said. The volume of water he uses to create the record-breaking thrust is a trade secret, he said.
“Basically, when you put water under pressure, it will not boil. “It just keeps building pressure,” he said. “When you unleash this thing, it is like unleashing the devil. “There is no way to stop it.” The rocket is only on the ramp for a halfsecond, and the water only steams for four seconds. The steam goes 760 miles an hour through the rocket nozzle. “It’s unbelievable,” It s unbelievable, he said. “Once it’s on a traout jectory path, it runs ou of water and it coasts for a couple seconds the and hopefully I pull th parachute in time and iit drifts down and I jump celout and we all start cel ebrating.” flying The feeling of flyin through the air in the steel rocket is unlike anything else, Hughes said. “It’s the strangest thing in the world because you cannot hear the rocket. “It’s leaving behind the speed of sound and I’m going forward from the thrust. I didn’t hear any metal grinding, which I thought I would. “The only thing I heard was the air going around the nose of the rocket. “I’ve got chills right now thinking about it.” Hughes said there’s so much going on in

the five-second period that he doesn’t really have time to think about what’s happening as it’s happening. However, it’s a different story in the hours, minutes and seconds before the jump. “To make yourself pull the lever to operate that thing . . . it takes a lot,” he said. “You’re wondering if it’s the last thing you’re going to do with your life.” Hughes said the determination to do something so extreme
that it would set him apart stemmed, in part, from his disillusionment with corporate sports in national leagues, stunts in movies and his desire to inspire others. “In this country, we used to do great things. “We built spaceships, and we don’t do anything anymore,” he said. “I think I’m the last great American hero.” Hughes said he passed up doing this new record-setting jump at Sturgis in South Dakota, the long-run-
ning motorcycle rally and festival that attracts about a half-million people each year, for a trip to Canada. Hughes did another rocket jump in Arizona on June 28. That jump is available to view for $10 on the website onetwolive. com. Sturgis Canada organizer Ray Sasseville said he and Hughes are getting the OK from the festival site owner, the City of Merritt, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District and Navigation Canada to
clear the airspace for the jump. For the Merritt jump, Sturgis Canada organizers are offering tickets to view the jump live for $20 or as part of the day’s pass for the festival for $109. The jump will be preceded by an autograph signing and meetand-greet on Aug. 22 at 2 p.m. “This is actually history. “There are very few times in your life when you get to witness history,” Hughes said.

Sensational fresh peach and cherry cobbler By Janet Tharpe
SPECIAL TO KTW justapinch.com
Sweet, tart and oh-so-tasty is the perfect way to describe Kim Novosel’s Fresh Peach and Cherry Cobbler. Once you try this cobbler, each year you will anxiously await peach and cherry season — and it will be worth the wait because this recipe is that good.
Fresh • Local • Sustainable •
What You Need • 4 cups of fresh peaches (peeled and sliced thickly) • 2 cups of fresh cherries (pitted and halved) • A half-cup of water • 1 stick of unsalted butter • 2 cups of all-purpose flour • 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder • 1 teaspoon of baking soda • 1.5 cups of milk
• 1 cup of brown sugar • 1 cup of sugar • A pinch of salt • Cinnamon (optional)
Recipe directions • Preheat oven to 350 F. • Combine peaches, cherries, brown sugar and water in a saucepan and mix well. • Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. • Remove from heat.
Remarkable
• Reserve a half-cup of fruit liquid. • Put the butter in a 9x13 baking dish and place in oven to melt. • In a bowl, sift sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder and a pinch of salt. • Slowly whisk in milk and the half cup of reserved liquid to dry ingredients. • Pour the mixture over melted butter in baking dish. Do not stir.
• With a slotted spoon, put fruit on top evenly. • Gently pour remaining liquid over top of fruit. • Sprinkle with cinnamon if using. • Place a pan under your dish. • Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until crust has risen to the top and is golden. • Enjoy warm with a nice scoop of ice cream — or let it cool in fridge.

Dodge Hellcat: The fastest muscle car ever? Dodge is giving its Challenger owners full bragging rights at the drag strip and racing to the front line of the horsepower wars with its new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is the fastest muscle car ever with a National Hot Rod Associationcertified ¼-mile elapsed time of 11.2 seconds at 125 mph with stock Pirelli P275/40ZR20 P Zero tires. With drag radials, the run dropped to just 10.8 seconds at 126 mph. The fastest muscle car ever is also the most powerful muscle car ever, thanks to the Challenger SRT’s Hemi Hellcat, which delivers an unprecedented 707 horsepower and 650 lb/ft of torque. The Challenger’s new 6.2-litre Supercharged Hellcat Hemi engine is also the first fac-
tory supercharged Hemi. In addition to the 707 hp of the new Hellcat Hemi, the new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has been redesigned and totally re-engineered to be the most true-to-form muscle coupe on the market with performance-enhancing technologies inside and out, including the new TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission or six-speed manual and an all-new interior inspired by the classic 1971 Challenger. The Dodge and SRT brands now offer the most complete lineup of muscle cars in the market. The 2015 Dodge Challenger and Challenger SRTs are built at the Brampton Assembly Plant and will start arriving in Dodge dealerships in the third quarter of 2014.

Organizers of the 2014 Honda Indy Toronto have announced that Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonia of Capital Cities and Tim Warmels, the new bachelor for Season 2 of The Bachelor Canada, will serve as the Grand Marshals for the festival, taking place this weekend (July 18 to July 20).

Jaguar develops virtual technology to help driving, reduce distraction
The all-electric Nissan Leaf has tested a new superhydrophobic and oleophobic paint designed to repel mud, dirt, water and oils.
• Racing line and braking guidance. Virtual racing lines on the windscreen appear to be marked on the track ahead for optimum racing line, with changes in colour to indicate braking guidance. • Ghost car racing. Improve your lap times by racing a ghost car visualization of your car on a previous lap, or compete against a lap uploaded from another driver. • Virtual cones can be laid out on the track ahead for driver training. These could be moved as the driver’s ability improves.
Jaguar Land Rover is creating cutting-edge technologies to develop new ways to give drivers higher quality, life-like graphics and information that will offer an enhanced virtual view of the road or racetrack. The Jaguar Virtual Windscreen concept uses the entire windscreen as a display so the driver’s eyes need never leave the road. High quality hazard, speed and navigation icons could all be projected onto the screen together. For performance drivers, imagery that could aid track driving includes:
Nissan Leaf touted as world’s cleanest What do you get when you combine the world’s best selling zero emission vehicle with innovative paint technology that repels mud, rain and everyday dirt? Answer: a very special Nissan Leaf electric vehicle that might just be the “world’s cleanest car.” Created to demonstrate its potential use in future production vehicles, this Nissan Leaf’s exterior was treated with a specially engineered superhydrophobic and oleophobic paint that is designed to repel water and oils. The “self-cleaning” paint, called Ultra-Ever Dry, creates a protective layer of air between the paint and environment, effectively stopping standing water and road spray from creating dirty marks on the Leaf’s surface. Nissan is one of the first carmakers to apply this technology to a vehicle. The coating, which is being marketed and sold by UltraTech International Inc., has been undergoing testing by engineers at Nissan Technical Center Europe. So far it has responded well to common-use cases including rain, spray, frost, sleet and standing water. While there are currently no plans for the technology to be applied to Nissan vehicles as standard equipment, Nissan will continue to consider the coating technology as a future aftermarket option. For the North American demonstration, the paint is featured on a white Nissan Leaf.
