Casino move sent to hearing

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

Chief makes $92,000; councillors get $80K-plus — all tax-free

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Gateway Casinos president and CEO Tony Santo hopes to see his company’s proposal to build an expanded casino at 1555 Versatile Dr. up for public debate by mid-August, but City of Kamloops officials say it’s not clear the issues associated with the plan will be worked through in that timeframe.

Santo told reporters on Tuesday, July 29, he was pleased with a unanimous council decision to take Gateway’s casino plans to public hearing against staff advice.

“It’s all we could ask for,” he said.

Staff recommended council not allow Gateway to rezone the former Rona building in Versatile for casino use because it would lead to the loss of the current Lake City casino in Hotel 540 on Victoria Street downtown.

As part of the proposed move to the former Rona property, Gateway wants to rebrand Lake City to Cascades Casino, adding more slot machines, gaming tables, dining options and a 500seat amphitheatre.

ERRY SULLIVAN’S MOTHER may have had the greatest influence on his 40-year career as an educator.

The superintendent of the KamloopsThompson school district — who retires at the end of today (July 31) after 15 years on the job — said his mother was

a strong-willed woman who turned a challenge into what was, at the time, innovation.

After the birth of one of her eight children, Sullivan said, nurses came to his mother’s bedside with a form to sign.

Just put your name on it, they told her, and you won’t ever have to see your baby.

Sullivan’s brother, who died last year at age 60, had been born

with Down syndrome.

The child wasn’t going to be put in an institution, Sullivan said.

Instead, they took him home and rallied to raise him to be whoever he would become with as many opportunities as he could be given.

That meant mom went head-to-head with the Halifax school board, forcing Sullivan’s future employer to create its first special-needs classroom.

Financial information released on Tuesday, July 29, as part of a new federal law shows Tk’emlups Indian Band chief Shane Gottfriedson earns $82,000 a year — along with another $11,000 annually in pension and other benefits.

That compares to the $86,000 a year the next mayor of Kamloops will earn thanks to a recent double-digit increase granted by council.

Gottriedson’s salary is tax-free, unlike at city hall, where Mayor Peter Milobar can shield only one-third of his pay from the taxman.

TIB was among the first First Nations bands in Canada this week to post financial statements following implementation of the First Nations Financial Transparency Act.

Lawyer in love leads to lawyer launching lawsuit

By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the lawsuit when your Vietnamese bride ditches you after receiving her Canadian visa.

That’s how it went for Kamloops lawyer Rod McLeod, who has filed a notice of claim in B.C. Supreme Court seeking money from Nguyen Xuan Bach Phung.

According to court documents, the two met on a social-networking site in July 2009.

The next month, McLeod trav-

elled to Vietnam to meet Nguyen.

They were wed three months later in a ceremony in Vietnam, after which McLeod sponsored Nguyen and her two children for immigration to Canada.

Throughout the relationship, prior to his wife being granted a visa, McLeod says he transferred money to Vietnam for Nguyen to invest, as well as cash for living expenses.

McLeod claims Nguyen promised him she was not using the marriage as a means to gain residency in Canada.

The immigration process took

two years, but Nguyen and her children were granted visas in November 2011, according to court documents.

They arrived in Vancouver on Dec. 29, 2011.

The court documents state Nguyen “began to limit communications” with McLeod immediately upon her arrival in Canada, communicating only through text messages, even though they were residing in the same Kamloops home.

McLeod claims Nguyen would leave the room as soon as he entered and alleges she refused to let him eat with her or her children.

She left McLeod on Jan. 5, 2012, seven days after arriving in Canada.

According to court documents, however, McLeod continued to pay Nguyen’s living expenses until the following summer, when her daughter returned to Vietnam and her adult son became employed.

The couple was divorced on Sept. 10, 2013.

McLeod claims Nguyen was acting recklessly and fraudulently in her relationship with him.

He also claims Nguyen lied in their separation agreement, failing to disclose “significant monies and

properties” she owns in Vietnam, which were purchased with McLeod’s money prior to her moving to Canada.

No dollar amount is set out in McLeod’s notice of claim, but he is seeking general damages, special damages and an order that Nguyen disclose all her assets to McLeod.

Nguyen is believed to be living in Surrey.

She has not yet been served the notice of claim, but will have three weeks to respond once that is done.

None of the allegations in the notice of claim have been proven in court.

Hot-dog bylaw will wait until next year

Kamloops dog owners who leave their pets in vehicles on hot summer days won’t be facing fines until some time next year.

Kamloops city council has chosen not to fast-track a bylaw that would impose penalties for negligent pet owners after bylaws staff said it would be impossible to finalize the law before the end of the summer.

Director of corporate services and community safety David Duckworth said the city plans to bring the bylaw forward early in 2015, noting the earliest it could possibly be passed this year would be the end of September. Duckworth said he’d rather council wait so the city can draft a bylaw that will be most effective.

“We’re very much in favour of the protection of all animals, not just dogs,” he said.

Coun. Tina Lange, who brought up the possibility of a bylaw, said she doesn’t mind waiting, but wants to see a significant fine, similar to Surrey’s new $500 penalty.

Lange said the law appears to be very popular with residents.

“I’ve had more phone calls on this than I think I had when I thought we’d get rid of backyard burning,” she said.

While a new bylaw would not empower city bylaw officers to remove dogs from vehicles, Lange said the city could consider sending a motion to the Union of B.C. Municipalities, calling for changes to the community charter allowing them to do so.

Only RCMP and SPCA officers are legally empowered to remove overheating pets.

Storm damage may be covered by relief fund Those affected by July 23 storm have until Oct. 27 to apply for financial aid from province

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The provincial government is offering financial aid to property owners in Kamloops whose insurance won’t cover damages related to the torrential downpour of July 23.

Public works director Jen Fretz said the province has accepted a City of Kamloops application for disaster financial assistance for the brief but potent storm, meaning both the city and residents can apply for relief funding.

Early estimates of the damage to city infrastructure ranged from $1 to $3 million, but Fretz said the figure could now be as high as $4 million, with the city’s storm system taking the worst hits.

The city will create a list of

infrastructure repairs needed and submit it to the province, with the hopes of having up to 80 per cent of its costs covered.

“It’s not like they are just going to hand over a cheque right now,” Fretz said.

“We have to put together a whole list of what needs to be done, what costs are associated and then they hopefully say, ‘Yes, that’s great’ and give us the money.”

Home and business owners who want to access disaster funds should first make sure their insurance companies won’t cover costs for repairs before submitting an application.

Application forms are available online at embc.gov.bc.ca/ em/dfa_claims/dfa.html.

Following an application, evaluators contracted by the

province will schedule a site visit for a damage assessment.

Residents have until Oct. 27 to submit an application, but the city is encouraging quick submission so damage assessments can be completed as soon as possible.

For more information on the program, call 1-888-257-4777.

Fretz said the city hasn’t decided precisely how it will tackle the many repairs it needs to make to its storm-drainage systems.

So far, it has focused on other infrastructure repairs, such as fixing popped manhole covers and clearing away blockages.

“We’re doing everything we can at this point but, just from a resource perspective, we can’t do all of those capital projects,” she said.

Will BCTF/BCPSEA talks resume?

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Bargaining between the province and its teachers could resume next month.

David Komljenovic, president of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association (KTTA), said dates had been set through the summer, but each July date was cancelled.

August dates, however, remain in place and he’s optimistic there will be some DAVID KOMLJENOVIC: Kamloops teacher a member discussion of BCTF bargaining unit. between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA).

Komljenovic is a member of the provincial bargaining committee for

the BCTF. He said B.C. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher has indicated he is still available to provide mediation if the two sides move closer together and still consider his participation an option.

Earlier this month, Kelleher told the BCTF and the BCPSEA, the bargaining agent for the province, he didn’t see mediation as a solution at that time.

The BCTF called on school districts to send letters to the government, urging it take steps to resolve the impasse, which has seen teachers launch a strike after being locked out by the BCPSEA. About 30 school districts have sent letters, but the KamloopsThompson district is not included on the list.

There are about 10 contentious issues still keeping the two sides apart, including class size and composition, as well as benefits.

BCTF president Jim Iker, who has been in conversation with BCPSEA chief negotiator Peter Cameron, has told the media he is optimistic a deal will be reached before school resumes on Sept. 2.

The storm that flooded many parts of Kamloops on July 23 led to millions of dollars in damage to city and private property. The province has accepted a City of Kamloops application for disaster financial assistance, meaning both the city and residents can apply for relief funding. Deadline is Oct. 27. KTW file photo

Drug-dealing details in trial ‘Reloaders’ part of street-selling scene in Kamloops

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A drug dealer and enforcer on trial for extortion and robbery has given detailed testimony in B.C. Supreme Court about his network peddling heroin, crystal meth and cocaine to sub-dealers in Kamloops.

Trevor Taylor, 29, took the witness stand on Wednesday, July 30, in his own defence.

The Crown alleges on Oct. 10, 2013, Taylor confronted Jody Honeyman, part of his drug-dealing network, and demanded payment for drugs he was given.

Honeyman went to police and testified this week that Taylor assaulted him and showed a gun tucked into his pants before making off with his pickup, recovered by police hours later.

But, Taylor said he wasn’t even in Kamloops on that evening and denied taking anything from Honeyman.

Instead, he said the pair agreed Honeyman — who was no longer drug dealing at that time — would drive Taylor around the city for about $250 a day to work off more than

$3,200 in debts.

Both men have criminal records.

In Taylor’s case, that includes convictions for obstruction of a police officer, armed robbery, drug trafficking, assault and obstruction of justice.

In testimony with his defence lawyer, Don Campbell, Taylor said he was making as much as $50,000 on every kilogram of drugs he trafficked in Kamloops.

Those included crystal meth, heroin and cocaine he would obtain in Vancouver or Kelowna and then supply to lower-level “reloaders,” who would then, in turn, sell drugs to street-level dealers.

Taylor said he would give his sub-dealers as much as $5,000 a day of product to sell and he went out of town as much as twice a week to obtain more drugs.

Honeyman, he said, was given $3,200 worth of drugs through one of Taylor’s sub-dealers — money he didn’t pay back.

However, Taylor testified that, after he was released from jail in September, he wasn’t under pressure to pay back money he owed to his suppliers

in Kelowna and Vancouver.

He said he was satisfied Honeyman could pay off his debt by driving him around the city on drug-related business.

Under cross-examination from Crown lawyer Sarah Firestone, Taylor refused to say whether he was involved with organized crime and gave only first names of his associates.

Defence lawyer Campbell said Honeyman’s motivation for reporting an alleged assault and theft of his truck was to escape the drug debt he owed.

“He knows when Mr. Taylor is in jail for an extended period, he can ignore that debt,” Campbell told Justice Hope Hyslop.

Taylor also testified he did methamphetamine only rarely and in small quantities to keep up his energy, what he said was an alternative to drinks like Red Bull and Monster Energy.

Hyslop is expected to give her decision at a later date.

Taylor’s trial this week was held under high-security following what police say was the targeted shooting of a 51-yearold man in a Burnaby parking lot in June.

Taylor is charged in that shooting.

MOUNTIES SEEK MAN WHO GROPED GIRL IN RIVERSIDE PARK Kamloops Mounties are looking for a man who groped a teenage girl in Riverside Park this week — and they are also seeking a witness to the crime.

Const. Jason Epp said a teenaged girl was near the park’s washrooms, adjacent to the water park, when a male approached from behind at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, July 28.

He put his hand over the girl’s mouth and fondled her.

Epp said the girl did not see the man and was therefore unable to provide a description.

The incident was interrupted by an older woman who was coming out of the washroom.

Epp said the woman saw what was happening and yelled at the man, who ran away.

“Police are reminding the public to be vigilant and aware of their surroundings, even in public settings,” Epp said.

Police are asking the female witness, and anybody else with information, to call the Kamloops RCMP detachment at 250-828-3000.

Tipping fees — and dumping fines — to rise

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tipping fees at city landfills are set to rise Jan. 1, 2015 — and city staff are concerned that could lead to more residents dumping their garbage in the bush.

As a result, those who engage in illegal dumping will see maximum fines increase fivefold — to $10,000 from $2,000.

The decision to raise fees was not made by the city itself, but by the Thompson-Nicola Regional District’s solid-waste committee (which has city representation in the form of Coun. Pat Wallace).

The TNRD agreed in April to raise fees around the region starting next year.

In Kamloops, municipal solid waste will cost $80 per tonne to dispose, while waste from demolition, construc-

tion or land-clearing will be $160 a tonne.

Fees at the city’s two dumps now sit at $60 per tonne for both kinds of waste.

Public works director Jen Fretz said construction waste is more difficult for the city to deal with than household garbage, which can be crushed and buried in little time, thus the higher fees.

The city plans to soften the blow by offering lower fees for construction waste that arrives at the dumps separated and uncontaminated.

Loads on uncontaminated soil, for instance, would be charged $10 per tonne and sorted wood waste would cost $100 per tonne to dump.

Fretz said the city believes it can divert 99 per cent of separated construction waste.

“Shingles can be

used as asphalt and drywall can be crushed down and used as new drywall,” she said.

Fretz said the city is increasing maximum fine amounts in an effort to deter people looking to avoid the newly upped fees.

Coun. Tina Lange said she’s not sure higher fines are enough to keep people from dumping, particularly when it’s difficult to catch dumpers in the act.

She suggested motion-triggered cameras at frequent dump sites or a reward program for people who tattle on those who dispose of their garbage illegally.

Coun. Marg Spina said she worries the new fees will hurt thrift stores, which are a favourite dump site for people with broken furniture and old mattresses they don’t want to pay to take to

the landfills.

“If we increase the tipping fees, those people who are dumping off at the thrift stores are likely to continue dumping that waste,” Spina said.

“It is a community problem.”

Fretz said the city is sympathetic, but council would have to change its bylaws if it want staff to be able to give a break on fees to nonprofits.

Right now, the city only waives fees for groups doing community-cleanup activities.

Tipping fees at Kamloops’ two landfills are now $60 per tonne. In 2015, the fees will rise to $80 per tonne for municipal solid waste and $160 per tonne for construction, demolition and land-clearing waste. KTW file photo

Market liquor process â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bucketful of bureaucracyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Regional Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market Society is hoping an appeal to city council will cut through the red tape keeping local wineries from selling their wares but, so far, councillors are showing little interest in fast-tracking the process.

Saturday market manager Annelise Grube-Cavers said the society has already cleared vendors to sell wine at the market but, when the organization went to the city for approval, they were told they would have to go through a onerous and expensive process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They told us it would be six to eight weeks for the application process,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard that from any other community.â&#x20AC;?

Nor did most other farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets in the province face a $500 fee, which the city would require to consider a liquor-sales application.

Planning manager Randy Lambright said the city has concerns about liquor sales at the market because the land isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t zoned and is a public right-of-way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone who is

selling liquor on private property has gone through a process, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through zoning, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through a public-input process,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Lambright said if the market wants to sell liquor, the city will refer its application to the RCMP, the Kamloops Downtown Business Improvement Association, School District 73 and others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other issue weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be looking at is does the public have any issue with this?â&#x20AC;?

Lambright said $500 is the lowest fee the city can charge.

But, Grube-Cavers said she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why the city needs to do so much work when other markets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including one in Victoria, also on a roadway â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were able to bring wineries on as vendors within a week or a month of the new liquor policy, which came into effect at the beginning of July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Victoria, they amended their rental agreement that they have between the city and the market society there, where they rent two boulevards from the city,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, they amended that to include liquor sales to that.â&#x20AC;?

Grube-Cavers said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raised the Victoria

example with city staff, but met resistance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receptive to the idea of looking at whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in other communities,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What they were saying is this is unique for us, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new for us.

But, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new everywhere.â&#x20AC;?

The market society sent a letter to city hall, asking it to expedite the process and waive the fees associated.

But, because council only meets once more this summer, on Aug. 19, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely any decision will be made in time to get wineries into this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s markets.

When Coun. Arjun Singh raised the issue at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meeting, most councillors seemed content to let the process play out at staffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preferred speed (both Mayor Peter Milobar, who owns a liquor store, and Coun.

Donovan Cavers, who is Grube-Caversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brother, recused themselves from the discussion). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really think the public deserves to have input into this,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Marg Spina, who worried people might become drunk from free samples of wine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If somebody drinks too much and the police have to be called in, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that

The premier’s job does not include Israel-Gaza conflict

S

O, OUR PREMIER IS proud to be a friend of Israel.

She has confirmed that in a letter to a Jewish-Canadian advocacy group — which asked her to write it, no less — and declared the country that has been at war since it was created, it seems, has the right “to defend itself and its citizens against terrorist attacks.”

I guess she’s talking about Gaza, the other side in the most-recent version of the Middle East war.

The folks who asked the politician who ostensibly speaks for all of us in the province have said the letter is not the least bit political — which would be funny if it wasn’t so patently ridiculous.

Everything Premier Christy Clark does is political.

Media coverage of the letter came this week just one day before the country she praised as being a “culturally rich democratic nation” bombed what should have been seen as a safe harbour in Gaza — a United Nations school that had been providing shelter to people who lost their homes from previous bombings.

Pierre Krahenbul, the UN’s commissioner-general for Palestinian refugees (Gaza is in Palestine on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea) spoke of the attack: “Last night, children were killed as they slept next to their parents on the floor of a classroom in a UN-designated shelter in Gaza.

Children killed in their sleep; this is an affront to all of us, a source of universal shame. Today the world stands disgraced.

DALE BASS Street LEVEL “We have visited the site and gathered evidence. We have analysed fragments, examined craters and other damage. Our initial assessment is that it was Israeli artillery that hit our school, in which 3,300 people had sought refuge. We believe there were at least three impacts.”

The Palestinians aren’t the only ones suffering from this insanity; Israel has said it has lost 52 soldiers and three civilians since the war ramped up a couple of weeks ago.

For those keeping track, it was the sixth time a UN school in Palestine has been hit by an Israeli shelling.

Without getting into which side is the worse in this war, the question really remains this: What was Clark thinking?

Why would she wade into something that has nothing to do with governing the province beyond the personal impact it is having on B.C.’s Jewish and Palestinian communities?

Would it not have been more appropriate to issue some sort of letter or statement saying she cares about the ongoing war between her

government and its teachers?

Although, to be fair, she did tell the Kelowna Capital News this week she thinks a deal will be reached before classes begin on Sept. 2, noting legislating teachers back to work would be “bad for kids.”

Sending bombs into what should be peaceful shelters is bad for kids.

I’m from the generation that remembers when Canada was seen as a force for peace, when Lester Pearson was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace for his work with the UN resolving an earlier Middle East crisis in the Suez Canal area.

Pearson, who later became prime minister, is also credited for creating the UN emergency force and the basic framework that became the UN Security Council.

Canada was respected internationally for its peacekeeping. When our politicians spoke on war and peace, the world listened.

Now, we’re reduced to Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird declaring one side of the conflict terrorists — as did Clark in her letter — and Prime Minister Stephen Harper going one step further, declaring Canada “is unequivocally behind Israel.”

Add Clark to the list, one more politician who simply doesn’t get it. It’s not her job to be a friend of Israel.

It’s her job to address real conflicts in her own backyard. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com

Opening books good for band members For the first time, the salaries of chiefs and council members of First Nations bands across the country are open to the public.

For the first time, the details of each First Nations band’s financial situation have been posted on a government website, alongside those salaries and expenses.

This exposure has come about via the First Nations Financial Transparency Act, passed into law by the federal Conservative government.

It is a worthwhile effort if the goal to allow the public to see how and where money is spent — particularly when public money is involved.

Most crucially, band members themselves should have unfettered access to how their elected officials are managing their money.

At the Tk’emlups Indian Band, figures released do not seem to reflect an extravagant use of money.

The band receives about $5 million per year from Ottawa and realizes an equal amount from rent and leases on its land.

The band pays its chief, Shane Gottfriedson, $92,000 a year (salary and pension and benefits included), while each councillor makes $80,000 or more per year.

Yes, the band has an on- and off-reserve population of only 1,000, but council is responsible for a far broader range of issues than is its municipal counterpart, where councillors are deemed part-time positions.

How and where the money is spent is the business of each First Nations band and the new Transparency Act should serve to guide band members, elected and non-elected, as they plan for the future.

Re: Story: TIB posts financial numbers: Chief makes $92,000; councillors get $80K-plus — all tax-free:

“I took a look at the funding numbers and they, too, have to be looked at in context.

“Yes, the feds send them money, but they have to operate a school and education and social programs with that money.

“Government sends money into Kamloops to do much of the same thing.”

— posted by Fair Comment “Since Chief Shane Gottfriedson’s $92,000 salary with pension and benefits is tax-free, he is actually making more like $155,000 a year.”

What do we really know about anti-Ajax KPHE? Editor: According to recent comments posted on the KTW website by Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment (KPHE), it is a physician group numbering 82 with serious concerns about the impact of the proposed Ajax mine on the quality of our air.

Five doctors are identified by name, the rest anonymous with this explanation: “Our members are aware how divisive this issue is to the community and have been guaranteed their names and emails will remain private.”

So, it appears the other 77 physicians believe in the cause, but not to the extent they would be prepared to lose a customer over it.

But, are those 77 members really physicians? Speaking on behalf of the group recently was a Dr. Robert Schemenauer.

As it turns out, Schemenauer is not a physician at all. He has a PhD in atmospheric sciences and appears to specialize in the study of fog.

Around the time the doctors’ group came on the scene, all activity by the previous Stop Ajax group ceased.

The last archived article on its website is dated in February and the most recent entry in its “recent posts” section is also dated in February.

When queried on the altruistic nature of its cause, the physicians’ group had this to say: “We are not concerned about property values specifically.”

OK. Generally, then?

Who are these people and what is their real concern?

According to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C., there are 247 physi-

cians in Kamloops.

Five of the 247 (or two per cent) are telling you we have a problem. At least 165 physicians (or 66.7 per cent) don’t support that concern.

Kamloopsians may want to learn more about the not-in-my-backyard syndrome and its place in a morally responsible society.

Attempting to raise the bar from a level that was good enough for everyone else, because you fear Ajax may be able to clear that bar, is not something of which to be proud.

Perhaps that’s why 98 per cent of Kamloops physicians don’t want their name associated with KPHE. Who should live near a mine?

Kudos to BCAA for its outstanding tribute to my mom Editor: I would like to commend the B.C. Automobile Association (BCAA) for honouring my late mother, Anne Rozina Madell, who recently passed away.

My mother was a 50-year member of BCAA. This is an outstanding tribute with dignity and honour — not only to those in the present, but to those who have passed.

As an associate member of my mother’s premier membership, I have been paying the fees.

Membership includes extended towing distances, two-day car rental and optional RV coverage.

BCAA really does look after its members.

As a token of the association’s appreciation, a 50-year member certificate and decal were sent.

Again, an overwhelming pat on the back, with praise, from a 50-year member and her loving family.

The doors will be open, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to find anyone waiting behind the front counter of the Kamloops RCMP detachment on Saturdays.

In a closed meeting earlier this month, Kamloops city council agreed the detachment could close its front counter at 560 Battle St. to the public on Saturdays and use the funds for other police activities.

Director of corporate services and community safety David Duckworth said weekdays are much busier for front counter staff.

Between Mondays and Fridays, the counter might get between 150 and 200 people a day, compared to 20 or 25 on Saturdays.

Duckworth said people coming to the detachment with an emergency will be able to call for an RCMP member to come up to the lobby, but he encouraged the public to call 911.

Borrowing for $9.4m bridge repairs OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d

Kamloops is moving ahead with more than $9 million in repairs to Overlanders Bridge set for spring and summer of 2015.

At its Tuesday, July 29 meeting, council gave the first three readings to a borrowing bylaw for $9.3 million of the $9.42 million it will cost to resurface the bridge and repair its western sidewalk, which is shedding concrete.

The remaining $120,000, the cost of design work for the project, will be funded with propertytax money.

Before council can finalize the bylaw and borrow the money, it will also have to conduct an alternative-approval process, which will run at a later date.

Public works director Jen Fretz said the city plans to tender the work early in 2015, with construction slated for spring and summer.

Work on the bridge may be conducted partially at night to avoid traffic delays, depending on the cost of paying workers for later hours.

Westsyde connection work will slow traffic

Traffic will slow on Westsyde Road this August as the city upgrades a stretch of street between Franklin Road and the Halston overpass.

At its Tuesday, July 29, meeting, council agreed to accept a $1.6-million tender from B.A. Dawson Blacktop for rehabilitation of the roadway.

Public works director Jen Fretz said work could be underway by mid-August and must be mostly complete by the end of September.

Fretz said the goal is to keep two lanes of traffic open on Westsyde at all times and to schedule construction to disrupt commuter traffic as little as possible.

Work will take place in the southbound lanes between 9 a.m. and 10 p.m., while the northbound lanes will be under construction between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m.

COVER PAGE STORY

TIB salaries: Broad responsibilities on council X From A1

Pay earned by the seven TIB councillors dwarfs that paid to the seven councillors in the City of Kamloops, even with their recent doubledigit raises. TIB councillors earn $72,500 a year, compared to the $30,000 councillors will earn starting next year.

Gottfriedson said the salaries of band and council are well known on the reserve.

“We’ve always been accountable and transparent,” he said, adding the band has made condensed versions of its budget available to band members in past.

“We’re not paid by Canada. We’re paid by our own service revenue from our own businesses.”

Jordan Bateman, head of the B.C. branch of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said Gottfriedson’s salary is “trending toward the high end” based on a handful of the first set of packages made available on the federal government’s website.

Four years ago, in interviews with several city news outlets, including Kamloops This Week, Gottfriedson told reporters he earned $58,000 a year.

He also criticized focus by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation on salaries, saying it ignored the fact leaders don’t receive pensions.

However, newly released figures show the band contributed $6,000 toward a pension plan for

Tk’emlups Indian Band chief Shane Gottfriedson (right) recites the oath of office at a swearing-in ceremony in November 2012 as Shuswap Nation Tribal Council director Bonnie Leonard looks on. That year, Gottfriedson secured his fourth term as chief.

Gottfriedson.

The TIB chief said band and council were granted raises and additional benefits following a general band meeting.

Bateman applauded the federal government for passing the law that makes the figures public, arguing it will make leaders accountable.

Thompson Rivers University political scientist Derek Cook said

transparency is welcome, but noted the numbers must be looked at in context of problems and responsibilities of First Nations government.

“The question is, can an outsider understand concerns First Nations are faced with?

“The majority of reserves don’t have clean water or proper infrastructure.”

The fact that TIB —

with a membership of about 1,000 on and offreserve — has a accumulated operating surplus of about $40 million, as well as its substantial residential and industrial rents, shows it is a relatively wealthy band

by Canadian standards, Cook said.

But, Gottfriedson said, the actual operating surplus is about $4 million. The larger fig-

ure includes investable assets.

“Make me prime minister and I’ll guarantee a surplus. That’s what this chief and council does.”

Bateman said he is surprised by the surplus, but added he is seeing that reflected on many of the statements as they are published online this week.

“All the bands have a large accumulated surplus. Most Canadians sense is that First Nations are right on the line,” he said. “There may be a few wealthy ones, but most are in poverty.”

In the most recent budget year, the Tk’emlups Indian Band brought in more money through property taxation ($5.7 million) than it received from the federal

government ($5.5 million) for areas including social housing and education.

While the mayor of Kamloops looks after a population roughly 80 times larger than the TIB, chief and council are responsible for a broader range of areas, including the Sk’elep School of Excellence, housing, forestry and other band economic interests.

Gottfriedson said the comparison between municipal and First Nations leaders is between part-time (civic) and full-time (First Nations) community leaders.

“We’re not an 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., part-time council. We’re 24/7 on-call working servants to our people.”

Casino: Open houses on traffic flow set for Aug. 6 RIVER CITY NISSAN X From A1

Santo estimates the project will cost $35 million and double the number of casino jobs.

The Lake City space in Hotel 540, as well as the parking lot behind the building, have been pitched to the city as a potential site for a new performing-arts centre. That proposal has yet to be evaluated by a consultant.

Director of development services Marvin Kwiatkowski said the city’s guiding plans don’t support moving an entertainment attraction like the casino away from the downtown.

But, councillors said they want to give the public a chance to discuss the proposal before

making a final decision.

“This is a council that knows you listen to one set of experts — our staff — and then you go to another set of experts, and that’s the members of the public and the proponents,” Coun. Tina Lange said.

Though Gateway has cleared its first hurdle, it now has to tackle traffic difficulties at Versatile and Hugh Allen drives.

Manager of development services Randy Lambright said traffic volumes are already an issue in the area and the city expects the casino, which will have up to 376 parking spaces, will add to the problem.

The city, province and ICBC have already studied traffic in

the area, with the Ministry of Transportation supporting a plan to put in a two-lane roundabout at Hugh Allen and Versatile, along with other capacity improvements installed in two phases.

Council has one meeting left this summer, set for Aug. 19, and getting to the point where the city has signed off on Gateway’s plans, and written a report to council, could take more time.

The public can get an earlier look at some of the casino’s proposals to deal with traffic, and its plans for a shuttle bus to the site, at a pair of open houses at the Versatile site on Wednesday, Aug. 6, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

SD73 served as Sullivan’s longest stretch

2014

The principal told Sullivan’s mother he would accept the class, but he would not supervise it, would not allow its teacher to attend staff meetings and would not allow its students to share recess with other classes.

“My mom listened and then she said OK because she got the class,” Sullivan said.

“Look how far we’ve come today. It takes so much effort to get any child ready for school but, for the family with a special-needs child, it takes triple the effort and triple the anxiety.

“I’ve always had that sense in my background.”

Sullivan remembers his first day as a teacher.

Trained for secondary-school classes, there

were no upper-grade jobs in his home province of Nova Scotia, so he stepped into a Grade 6 class of about 40 boys in an inner-city school in Halifax.

At the time, that area of the city had one of the highest murder rates in the country.

At one point during his time there, Sullivan taught a Grade 8 class of 56 students.

Teachers then were issued just two items for their classroom — a box of chalk and a strap, Sullivan said.

“We were required to use both. The old days were not as good as some people think.”

It was a challenge, but teaching was what he wanted to do.

Working with students was then and remains

today Sullivan’s joy, something he said he has missed as his career took him out of the classroom and into administration.

His career has taken him across the country, from Halifax, to Yellowknife and the MacKenzie Valley and to Alberta, where he worked for the province’s Ministry of Education while studying for his master’s degree.

He also taught at

Acadia and St. Mary’s universities, then returned to Halifax for vice-principal, principal and superintendent positions.

Since arriving in Kamloops on July 13, 1999, the 15 years and 18 days he’s been with the school district is the longest Sulllivan has stayed with any job.

Asked for highlights, Sullivan immediately deferred to his colleagues.

He praised former assistant superintendent Ross Dickson for

pointing out the board had a school-of-choice policy, something that led to creation of Beattie School of the Arts, the Montessori school, Bert Edwards science and technology school and the International Baccalaureate program at NorKam secondary.

He lauded Greg Howard, the recently retired district principal for trades and transitions, and retired assistant superintendent Ross Spina for taking the idea even further with their

pitch for what, when it opens later in the upcoming school year, will be the NorKam Trades and Technology Centre.

“I used to worry about what we’d do if John Cuzzola got hit by a truck,” Sullivan said of the district’s director of information technology, who dealt with antiquated software that, Sullivan said, only Cuzzola understood.

Sullivan praised board treasurer Kelvin Stretch for finding the money in the ongoing tight financial status of the district to upgrade the software so it is current and easily understood, and highlighted contributions from most everyone else in the board’s administration and support-staff complement, minimizing his role to being the person who ensured the work environment would allow ideas to being

brought forward and given life.

“I’m like the orchestra leader,” he said.

With assistant superintendent Karl deBruijn taking over the job tomorrow (Aug. 1), Sullivan said he has no immediate retirement plans.

He remains head of the B.C. School Superintendents Association until November and has work to do there.

Sullivan will continue a contractual relationship with the Ministry of Education’s internationalstudents work, heading to Asia twice per year.

He hopes to learn to play golf and is anticipating a busy winter skiing.

Visits to three of his four children who live outside the province (his daughter and her family are in Kamloops) are also possibilities.

COVER PAGE STORY

( 1))

Sullivan reflects on his career than 80 per cent, calling it a measure of the quality of education in the city. â&#x20AC;˘ Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy with how the district has adapted to changing educational needs and tools, embracing new technologies and expanding course choices. â&#x20AC;˘ Sullivan is pleased his relationship with school-district unions has never become acrimonious during ongoing labour situations. He attributes that to his own belief people are just doing their jobs, as well as his background as a union member who was involved

â&#x20AC;˘ As SD73 looked at schools of choice, Terry Sullivan was impressed with how the community stepped up with ideas and support. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to checking on some Beattie School of the Arts graduates in a decade, for example, because he expects many will have impressive accomplishments. â&#x20AC;˘ Early in his teaching career, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the norm to see most students graduate. Sullivan is delighted with SD73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completion rate of more

6 Education Minister Peter Fassbender said he had heard of Sullivan long before he found himself working with him after taking on the education portfolio last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my view, Terry is one of those innovative youngerthinking older guys who thinks outside of the box,â&#x20AC;?

Fassbender said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is focused and passionate and does not lack opinions, but he understands the system.â&#x20AC;?

Fassbender praised Sullivan for being â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of those people who, no matter where he stands on a perspective, people respect him.â&#x20AC;?

6 Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake was the only person to offer criticism of Sullivan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to spell his name right,â&#x20AC;? Lake said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s T-E-R-E-N-C-E, not T-E-R-R-E-NC-E.â&#x20AC;?

Sullivan chuckled, but agreed, noting Lake brought the point up in a light moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to my filing cabinet and my mom had given me my original birth certificate and my dad had registered it that way. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been spelling it with two Rs because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how my mom told me it was spelled.â&#x20AC;?

In a more serious vein, Lake said Sullivanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiscal

in bargaining from the labour side of the table. â&#x20AC;˘ When he started the job, there was a $3,000 difference between his salary and that of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief administrative office. Now, that gap is more than $30,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Sullivan said that has to be addressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can say that now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m gone,â&#x20AC;? he told KTW. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In eight of the 15 years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here, the salary [increase] was held to zero. Executive compensation [for all excluded staff] is going to be a significant issue for the next

[school] board.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ He expects his successors â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be closing schools, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be building them and doing renovations,â&#x20AC;? something he attributes to the levelling off of enrolment, an issue that has been at the forefront during his tenure as the numbers kept dropping. Now, he said, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to stabilize. â&#x20AC;˘ Sullivan is also curious to see the impact of the body some call the national school board â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Supreme Court of Canada â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as it continues to rule on appeals on

responsibility â&#x20AC;&#x153;is a model for other school districts,â&#x20AC;? calling him â&#x20AC;&#x153;an outstanding superintendent and leader. We have relied on him because of his expertise and his ability to execute.â&#x20AC;?

6 Kamloops-Thompson Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association president David Komljenovic said he has always appreciated Sullivanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reasoned approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always agree, but we always tried to find solutions and, at the end of the day, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re advocating for the same thing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a great public education system.â&#x20AC;?

Komljenovic said one aspect of Sullivanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure that stands out for him is his approach to class size. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He knew government funding was decreasing, but he always worked to make class sizes reasonable.â&#x20AC;?

6 Former trustee Ken Christian, who was board chairman when Sullivan was hired, called him â&#x20AC;&#x153;a man of great personal and professional integrity who has stood the district well.â&#x20AC;?

Christian said Sullivan quickly became â&#x20AC;&#x153;an education leader in the province of British Columbia and beyond.â&#x20AC;?

He noted the retiring superintendent has â&#x20AC;&#x153;an extreme passion for our First Nations learnersâ&#x20AC;? and described him as having â&#x20AC;&#x153;a firm, but kind, grip on staff.â&#x20AC;?

HOW WE MET

‘Read, read, read, read’

BY JESSICA WALLACE • STAFF REPORTER JESSICA@KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM

Travis Johnston and Ryan Funston, both 33, are sitting in the House of Learning Building at Thompson Rivers University.

Notebooks and textbooks fill their table.

All of the other tabletops are empty — the lobby, too — and Tim Hortons is closed, void of its usual lengthy lineup of students.

The two fourth-year electrical students are studying for an exam.

“Read, read, read, read,” Funston says.

They’re two of about 16 in their class and met in April on a job outside of school.

They were each on a work term, apprentices for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union.

The union out of Kamloops dispatches workers to jobs as far away as the Yukon.

Johnston was on the cable crew at a camp 150 kilometres north of Revelstoke.

He was pulling wires at the Mica Dam

on a team of five when they needed an extra body.

Funston was called up to the camp.

“We got tossed in the same crew,” Johnston says.

They never finished the job but, instead, each returned to Kamloops for their final training sessions at TRU. They’re friends now.

“Our last year

of apprenticeship,” Funston said. “Thank God.” They’re each looking forward to receiving their tickets because the work is clean and the money is good.

It’s even worth a shock or two while learning.

The exam they are studying for is at the end of the week.

“It’s gonna be fine,” Johnston says

Travis Johnston and Ryan Funston take the requisite How We Met selfie on KTW’s world-famous barnstorming iPad.

Study time will be over soon and their table will be cleared of notebooks and textbooks, like the rest in the House of Learning.

They’re each planning vacation in August and work again come September.

Because, if all goes to plan, they’ll pass their final exam on Friday and be Red Seal electricians by Saturday.

Supreme Court’s Mr. Big ruling set to be released today CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada’s top court will release its decision today (July 31) on whether confessions elicited from socalled Mr. Big police sting operations can be used in court after the technique helped convict a Newfoundland man of killing his two daughters.

The Supreme Court of Canada agreed early last year to hear the case of Nelson Hart, who was found guilty by a jury of first-degree murder in the drowning deaths of his three-year-old twin daughters, Krista and Karen, on Aug. 4, 2002, at Gander Lake.

The Crown asked the Supreme Court to throw out a provincial appeal-court ruling that overturned the 2007 conviction and ordered a new trial.

In the fall of 2012, the Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal ruled 2-1 that a confession Hart gave

during an elaborate undercover RCMP operation should not have been entered as evidence.

The appeal-court judges were divided on the key question of whether the confession obtained during the Mr. Big sting was the result of improper conduct that violated Hart’s Charter rights.

Two of the judges ruled Hart’s confession inadmissible, but the third judge said “the tricks employed by the undercover police were not such as to shock the conscience of the community’’ and weren’t proven to be excessive coercion or inducement.

At trial, the Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court heard Hart initially told police he couldn’t swim and drove away from Gander Lake to find help after Krista fell into the water, leaving Karen unattended.

His trial would later hear Hart told police

a different story two months later — that he couldn’t remember how his daughters ended up in the water because he had an epileptic seizure, but failed to mention it earlier for fear of losing his driver’s licence.

Karen was dead and Krista was floating unconscious in Gander Lake when police

arrived. She later died in a St. John’s hospital.

The RCMP launched the Mr. Big sting in 2005 after the investigation into the girls’ deaths stalled.

The investigative technique involves undercover officers pretending to be gangsters who recruit a suspect to a fictitious criminal organization in order to obtain a

confession about prior criminal acts.

The operation cost about $413,000 over four months as officers posed as gang members.

They recruited Hart to travel with them across Canada, where he met other fake mobsters and was taken to restaurants, casinos, racetracks and strip clubs.

On a video shown

at his trial, Hart told undercover officers he shoved the girls from the Gander Lake wharf into the water, eventually re-enacting the scene for them.

“I struck them with the shoulder, like that,’’ he said on a recording made without his knowledge or consent. He said he feared social workers were about to give his

brother custody of his children.

Hart’s defence lawyer challenged the confession, saying his client needed money and was intimidated by people he thought were gang leaders.

The Supreme Court of Canada generally hears cases of national importance or those involving split decisions on key legal points.

JOEL TRENT STEVENS

MAURICE LOUIS CHARLES BOURDIN

1966 - 2014

September 11, 1927 - July 17, 2014

Suddenly on July 25, 2014 Joel passed away peacefully at home. Survived by wife LeeAnn, daughters Shanna and Taylor, sons Dallas, Mackenzie and Garry; parents Frank and Dianne; sisters LauraDel (Floyd) and Tara; brothers Dale, Greg and special brother David plus numerous nieces and nephews.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Maurice, who died peacefully on Thursday, July 17, 2014 at the age of 86. He is survived by his wife, Rose; his three children Leonard (Bev), Laurie, and Steve (Shari); his four grandsons Maris (Lilliana), Craig, Scott (Danielle), and Tyler; and his great-granddaughter, Jeniva.

He is also survived by a sister Lucy and a brother Gerry, as well as many nieces, nephews and dear friends. He and Rose had just celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary on July 1; sadly, he didn’t live to celebrate the birth of his second great-granddaughter.

Graduated from North Kamloops Secondary; attended Cariboo College then followed his lifelong dream of driving a tractor trailer in Canada and the U.S including the “Ice Road”.

Joel was predeceased by his brother Trevor and both paternal and maternal grandparents.

Cremation has taken place.

No service by request.

Maurice and Rose moved the family from Burnaby to 100 Mile House in 1969 and then moved to Green Lake, where they lived from 1970-2005, when they moved to Kamloops to be closer to health care. He was the ‘go-to guy’ at Green Lake and was always there when something needed fixing. He was a valued member of the community, and was awarded ‘Citizen of the Year’ in 1996.

Maurice was described by friends as larger than life… someone you remembered from the very first time you met. He was a hard-working, dedicated family man who always had a smile to put you at ease or a joke to lighten your mood. We will all miss his easy laughter, his big heart, and his fierce loyalty to family and friends.

The family is incredibly grateful for the exceptional care provided by both Home Support and Ponderosa Lodge staff, and the kindness & support extended to family and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Ponderosa Lodge in Maurice’s memory.

HARUMI (LUMI) HAMAOKI February 18, 1915 – July 23, 2014 Our precious mom, grandmother and great-grandma, Harumi (Lumi) Hamaoki, 99 years old, passed peacefully in the company of family on the evening of July 23rd, 2014. She was born on February 18, 1915, in Hiroshima, Japan.

Lumi was married in Japan in 1938 to Ihachi Hamaoki. She immigrated to Canada (Powell River, B.C.) in 1938. She and Ihachi resided in and fished the Coast of B.C., until the Internment of the Japanese-Canadians in 1942. That same year, Lumi and Ihachi came to Kamloops, sponsored by Mr. G. Oishi, and have resided in Kamloops since. Lumi left us on the same day that Ihachi died twenty-three years ago.

Lumi worked as a seamstress for many years at the Hudson’s Bay Company. She enjoyed oil painting, sewing, and nurturing beauty in her bountiful flower gardens. She was a dedicated member of the St. George’s Anglican Church community, which was a loving foundation of support and comfort in her life.

Lumi’s impeccable grace, modest yet unyielding resilience, flashes of sweet humour and most greatly, her love of family and friends will be honoured in all those whose life she touched.

Lumi is survived by her three children Roy (Arlene) Hamaoki, Irene (Henry) Uyeda and Emi (James) Doi and her nine loving grandchildren; Michelle, Darren, Daniel, Tammy, Linda, Angela, Carl, Terry & Brenda. Fifteen great-grandchildren will also carry her light forward whenever beauty and laughter are present.

The family would like to extend their deep gratitude to the Pine Grove Care Centre staff, and Dr. Howie. Through their extraordinary loving care and heartfelt presence Lumi was honoured for the person she was.

A celebration and remembrance of Lumi’s life will take place on Monday, August 18, 2014, 2:00pm at St. George’s Anglican Church.

In lieu of flowers and koden, donations to the Staff Fund at Pine Grove Care Centre, St. George’s Anglican Church, or the Kamloops Japanese-Canadian Association would be greatly appreciated.

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

A celebration of Maurice’s life will be held in Kamloops on Saturday, September 27. Anyone wishing to attend should contact the family for details.

A heart of gold stopped beating July 28, 2014, as our beloved Stan peacefully passed away at the age of 81, after spending his last days with family.

Stan was born and raised on a farm outside Prince Albert, SK, where he met and married his loving wife of 56 years, Marion Flanders, who passed away in 2008. Stan and Marion moved from SK to Edmonton, AB, in 1956 to raise their family. They then moved to Kamloops in 1976, where Stan became a proud business owner of Thompson Valley Printing Ltd. until retirement in 2000.

China denies computer-hacking allegations

By Terry Pedwell

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The recent infiltration of National Research Council (NRC) of Canada computers by Chinese hackers comes as the agency is working on an advanced computer-encryption system that is supposed to prevent such attacks.

The cyber assault has been met with sharp criticism of the Chinese government by Ottawa — even as Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird is in China laying a path for a visit there this fall by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

The federal government revealed this week the NRC’s networks were the target of a cyber attack, resulting in the shutdown of its IT network for an extended period.

The Chinese embassy in Ottawa denied any such attack.

Curiously, the NRC has been

working with private sector and university research teams on a physicsbased, state-of-the-art computer encryption system.

“The emerging field of quantum communication promises unhackable, secure communication that can be applied to protect our digital infrastructure,’’ says the NRC’s website.

“NRC is developing photonicsbased, quantum-enhanced cyber security solutions . . . collaborating to develop technologies that address increased demands for high-performance security for communications, data storage and data processing.’’

The research agency had hoped such technology would position Canada as a global leader in field of quantum cyber security.

The Treasury Board Secretariat has not said when the NRC’s computer systems were infiltrated or what the hackers might have been

able to access, but said there is no evidence other government computer systems or data have been compromised.

For now, the NRC’s computers have been isolated from the rest of the government’s systems as a precaution, a move the agency said “will affect ongoing business operations.’’

The council said it could be some time before a new, more secure system is up and running.

“NRC is continuing to work closely with its IT experts and security partners to create a new secure IT infrastructure,’’ the council said in a statement.

“This could take approximately one year however; every step is being taken to minimize disruption.’’

In a separate statement, the government said one of Canada’s spy agencies, the Communications

WINNIPEG — The Manitoba government plans to change the name of the province’s August civic holiday to Terry Fox Day. Fox was born in Winnipeg on July 28, 1958, and became famous for his cross-country Marathon of Hope in 1980. Renaming the holiday, which falls on the first Monday of August, in honour of Fox only

WILLIAM (BILL) JAMES MCLAREN M.D. January 30, 1921 – July 20, 2014 Bill was conceived in Montreal and Born in the U.K. He was raised and schooled in Broughty Ferry, Scotland and graduated M.B. Ch. B. from St. Andrews University in 1944. After surgical jobs in Carlisle and Oswestry (where he met the love of his life, Patricia Taylor), he served in the R.A.F. Medical Branch for two and a half years, during which time he married Patricia in 1946. He obtained the F.R.C.S. (England) in 1948 & F.R.C.S. (Canada) in 1955. Bill and the family immigrated to Vancouver, B.C. in 1951, where he had been appointed Resident in Thoracic Surgery at V.G.H. In 1952 he was appointed Surgical Specialist at the Department of Tuberculosis Control of B.C. He performed surgery at Tranquille Sanatorium from 1952 to 1957, at which time the surgical department there was closed.

Meanwhile, in 1956 Bill moved to Kamloops, having been appointed to the staff of Royal Inland Hospital. He practiced as a partner at the Burris Clinic until his retirement from the Department of Surgery in 1988. Thereafter, he worked part-time for several years as a medical advisor to the W.C.B. During his 31 years of practice in Kamloops, Bill served terms as President of the Medical Staff of Royal Inland Hospital and as Chief of Surgery. Provincially from 1972 to 1984 he was a member of the Section of General Surgery of the B.C.M.A. and was chairman of this section from 1982 to 1984. From 1978 to 1988 he was a member of the executive of the B.C. Surgical Society and served as President for the last two years.

Bill was very involved in the community and was a member of the following societies: Kamloops Ski Club- President 1955 to 1958, Figure Skating Club- Executive 1955 and 1956, Tennis ClubPresident 1961 to 1964, Tod Mountain Ski Club- President 1962 to 1964, Kamloops Rotary Club- Executive 1961 to 1964, Thompson Valley Film Society- President 1974 to 1978.

Security Establishment, detected and confirmed the cyber attack.

The intrusion came from “a highly sophisticated Chinese statesponsored actor,’’ said the Treasury Board. “We have no evidence that data compromises have occurred on the broader Government of Canada network.’’

Still, the NRC said it has notified the Privacy Commissioner and its clients and stakeholders about the breach.

The agency said it would not release further information, citing security and confidentiality reasons.

It planned to update Canadians on the situation by today (July 31).

However, in a recording of an internal briefing obtained by CTV News, NRC president John McDougall warned employee and client data could have been compromised.

He also told employees in a

makes sense, Premier Greg Selinger said.

“His example of courage and determination in the face of cancer . . . is something that has resulted in over $600 million being raised for cancer-care research across the globe, in over 60 countries,’’ Selinger said.

The government will discuss the issue with the Terry Fox Foundation and is expected to table a bill in the legislature this fall to make the change official.

With his charming wife Pat, Bill helped raise three sons; Andrew, Ian & Niall. Many magical times were spent with them and their friends at our cottage at Anglemont on Shuswap Lake, and on Tod Mountain (now Sun Peaks). These sons, in due course, brought Pat and Bill three attractive and accomplished daughters-in-law; Bonnie, Celeste & Dawn, through whom the next generation of Clan McLaren were created to continue the many happy family traditions at Shuswap and Sun Peaks.

Bill had a very quick wit and loved to debate anyone, at anytime on any topic. Bill was extremely active; he swam, played tennis and skied into his 92nd year. Other activities ranged from figure skating to waterskiing and walking one of his beloved black Labrador Retrievers. Bill was also an avid fan of the fine arts, specifically classical music and the theatre. Bill was a master story teller and loved to give a great speech, he would prepare for weeks in advance often referencing the diary he maintained for most of his life. Bill was an intellect and at the end of a long day of activities one of his favorite times was reading a thought provoking article in the New Yorker in bed. Another of Bill’s great loves was stargazing; he took astronomy classes late into his life. Some of his happiest times were ruminating in starlight on a summer night at our Shuswap Lake cottage.

In 1996, the love of Bill’s life suffered a debilitating stroke; he dedicated himself to caring for Pat until she passed in August of 2012. During this time Pat & Bill traveled the world; they visited far and away corners of the earth, every trip was an adventure. Bill was all set to attend a friends 100th birthday in Scotland last year before he too suffered a stroke.

Bill was pre-deceased by his daughter-in-law Bonnie in 2010 and is survived by his sons Andrew, Ian & Niall, daughters-inlaw Celeste & Dawn, grandchildren Craig (Lisa), Brent (Christine), Tricia, Kristin, Alyse (Jason), Mackenzie (Dylan), Kimberly (Kevin) & Kirk (Abby), and great-grandchildren Jasper, Lucas, Tessa, Josie & Libbie.

Our family would like to express its heartfelt thanks to the staff of Ridgeview Lodge. Their level of care and attention to Bill’s every need was exceptional.

A celebration of Bill’s life will be announced and held later this year. Donations to the BC Heart & Stroke Foundation in Bill’s memory would be greatly appreciated.

conference call not to connect their memory sticks, smartphones or tablets to their work computers.

A spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Ottawa denied his country’s involvement in any hacking action.

“The Chinese government has always firmly opposed to and combated cyber attacks in accordance with the law.

In fact, China is a major victim of cyber attacks,’’ Yang Yundong said in a statement.

“We do not accept the groundless allegation of so-called China’s involvement in any cyber intrusion or attacks.’’

The cyber attack is awkward timing for Ottawa, since Harper has been planning for a possible state visit to China in November, coinciding with his attendance at an Asian economic summit in Beijing at the end of that month.

Fox lost a leg to cancer when he was 18 and, three years later, took up his attempted cross-country run on a prosthetic limb.

He started his run in April 1980, dipping his leg in the ocean at St. John’s, N.L. The effort ended 147 days and 5,373 kilometres later outside Thunder Bay, Ont., when his cancer returned and forced him to abandon his project.

He died in June 1981 at the age of 22.

RiverDogs chasing provincial banner

The RiverDogs start their bid for a B.C. Minor Baseball Association midget AAA championship today in Victoria. Allen Douglas/KTW

When the Kamloops Players Bench RiverDogs departed for the 2014 provincial championship on Wednesday, July 30, manager Sean Wandler had mapped out the road to victory.

Like the road the team travelled to the Victoria tournament,

all signs indicate a B.C. Minor Baseball Association midget AAA title will go through Chilliwack.

“Chilliwack has proven that they’ve been fairly consistent throughout the season. They’re strong,” Wandler said.

“Their strength is just their pitching depth, they’ve got a fair amount of it, and it is supplemented by some talented

guys in the field.

“I think they’re going to be a team that I’d be surprised if they weren’t around on Sunday. I think they’ll go at it pretty hard.”

Kamloops defeated the league’s No. 1 seed once in five meetings this season. It was one of just five losses for Chilliwack, which went 29-5.

WolfPack hockey program nixed

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

HE THOMPSON RIVERS UNIVERSITY WOLFPACK HOCKEY TEAM WILL NOT TAKE TO THE ICE THIS SEASON. In June, it seemed the strappedfor-cash hockey program would survive another season, but Ken Olynyk, TRU’s athletic director, has confirmed that is not the case.

“The decision was based on sustainability, on being able to raise the funds that were necessary to run the program,” Olynyk said.

“When a number of the student-athletes weren’t willing to commit to the fees — which is their prerogative and it’s understandable — then it was felt by the board that, really, we should just cease operation of the program

KAMLOOPS

for the time being.”

Student-athletes on club teams at TRU are required to pay fees in order to play, which is not the case with the school’s Canadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS) varsity counterparts.

The hockey squad, a club team that has played in the B.C Intercollegiate Hockey League since 2008, was faced with operating deficits following the 20132014 season and had what head

L A N I G I R /DEALER

coach Don Schulz called a few “stressful moments” working to keep the team afloat financially.

In order to survive, the team was forced to increase per-player fees to about $2,400 from about $1,500.

The club was also to receive $2,500 from the university’s Comprehensive University Enhancement Fund (CUEF) and $2,500 from the office of TRU’s vice-president academic.

There was still a shortfall of about $40,000, which was expected to be drummed up through fundraising, an area that has plagued the WolfPack hockey team.

The efforts made by Olynyk, Schulz and André Larouche of the Kamloops Collegiate Hockey Society appeared to have bought the team another season — and that was the impression its

players were under.

Ryan Hanes, a former member of the WHL’s Kamloops Blazers who signed on to play next season with the WolfPack, was caught off guard when KTW called him on Tuesday, July 29.

“I had no idea,” Hanes said.

“I thought after we had a conference call about the increase, money-wise, everyone said we’re good to go and we’ll pay the money. I thought it was all good, but I guess not.

“I guess we’re going to be stuck on the Oronge Lunatics [an Ice Box Arena men’s league team] this year.”

It’s no secret TRU athletics is pushing into the future, focusing on growing its stable of CIS teams, but Olynyk said shuttering the WolfPack hockey program had nothing to do with that side of the sports ledger.

“That wasn’t involved in the decision,” he said. “Our commitment had not changed at all.”

Olynyk had yet to receive feedback from TRU hockey players when he spoke with KTW on Tuesday.

“I haven’t had any from them yet,” he said. “We’ll see what happens. I think it’s unfortunate, but I think also there’s a realization by all of them that, OK, this was a possibility.”

The WolfPack brass was still recruiting players this month, with a TRU press release announcing the signing of defenceman Desmond Bast of Langford on July 17.

Schulz and Larouche did not return calls before KTW’s press time on Wednesday, July 30.

Baseball is the only remaining club team at the Kamloops university.

Coulter heads up rotation X From A19

The RiverDogs’ path to the title begins with rookie ace Brendan Coulter, who takes the mound this morning (July 31) when the team opens play against No. 7-seed Cloverdale (1222). Kamloops won both regular-season matchups between the clubs.

Coulter has been excellent for the Dogs this season. The 6-foot4 right-hander is coming off a 10-0 victory against Richmond last weekend, in which he went five innings, surrendering one hit and one walk while striking out one.

Entering provincials as the No. 3 seed with a 24-10 record, the Dogs will face stiff competition in round-robin play.

Following its opener against Cloverdale, Kamloops will play No. 2-seed Richmond (279) on Friday and No. 6-seed Vancouver (15-

21) on Saturday.

“You know what, if we were in either pool, to be honest with you, our philosophy is it doesn’t make any difference,” Wandler said.

The tournament’s other pool includes Chilliwack, Victoria (9-25), Ridge Meadows (17-18) and Tri-City (24-10).

“We have the mindset that we’ve got to beat everybody. We take it one game at a time, we go at it hard, we try to win every pitch and we’ll just go from there.”

Richmond beat Kamloops in four of five games this season.

The RiverDogs topped Vancouver in three of four matchups.

Wandler’s hoping his charges can gain an added boost from the return of Grade 12 outfielder Brennan Hegel, who has been out since March with a torn MCL. The manager

described Hegel as one of the team’s stronger players and said he will bring added provincial experience to the young club.

Losing Hegel was just part of the adversity Kamloops had to overcome to get where it is.

Wandler is hoping the season’s lessons can help guide his club to a provincial title, which will involve no shortage of adversity.

“We started off real strong — like I say, we kind of entered in with a younger team,” he said.

“In the middle of the season, on the road, we played close to .500 baseball.

“There were some up-and-down times, but we finished it off strong.

“I think a lot of guys really came together and really started showing what they can do at the right time of year.

“So, I’m pretty happy with the way things turned out.”

Learn from English Premier League coaches

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

Mick Murphy, Warren Leat and Wayne Allerton of Stoke City FC are making their return to the Tournament Capital to teach a soccer school.

Players ages 11 to 16 are invited to attend the second annual week-long high-performance Kamloops Youth Soccer Association (KYSA) course, which runs from Monday, Aug. 4, to Friday, Aug. 8, on McArthur Island.

“We want to show them what it would be like in England,” said Murphy, director of soccer development for the county of Shropshire.

“What we try and do is give them a different menu — give them the English academy experience.”

Leat and Allerton are full-time coaches within the Barclay’s Premier League club’s system and together with Murphy they bring to Kamloops about 50 years of elite-level coaching experience.

“The reason why we’re bringing them

back this year is the response that we had from the players in the course last year,” KYSA executive director Keith Liddiard said. “It was tremendous.

“I’d like to think there’s a lot of interest this year but, I have to be honest, it’s not manifesting itself in terms of registrations.”

It costs $170 to attend the course.

KYSA technical director

Ciaran McMahon and his staff coaches are next month offering five regular soccer schools, which cost $125.

For more information or to register for the camps, go online to kysa.net or drop by the association’s office on McArthur between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

Murphy, who co-ordinates Canadian soccer camps for Stoke City FC, was coaching at the English Football Association’s new National Training Centre in Staffordshire when he spoke with KTW. He said the goals are to see camp attendees make improvements each day and to focus on aspects of play which might be unfamiliar to Canadian players.

“If I was a kid of 12 years of age and I knew coaches are coming over from Stoke City or any premier league club, I’d be all over it like a dirty shirt,” Liddiard said.

Kamloops Marathon successful, but improvements still required

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Still in its infancy, the Kamloops Marathon is a fledgling event, full of promise and in need of improvement.

“There are still some bumps to work out,” said Christopher Seguin, race organizer and Thompson Rivers University’s vice-president of advancement.

“We love knowing our weak spots so we can eliminate them.”

KTW spoke with Bryan Houle, a 32-year-old runner from Red Deer who competed for the first time in the Kamloops race on Sunday, July 27.

“My advice is it could have been marked better, pretty much after kilometre 30,” Houle said of the 42-kilometre full-marathon course.

“I had a bit of an issue at the end where I ran past the last turnoff for the finish line.

“As a result, I ended up run-

ning an extra three K. It’s not a big deal, I had a really good day, but it was frustrating.”

Houle placed 14th in the third annual marathon, finishing in 3:31:55, about 40 minutes back of men’s full marathon winner Tatsuya Hatachi of Coquitlam.

“A lot of people were getting confused,” Houle said.

“The people I was running with, there were spots where the three of us didn’t know where to go.”

The Red Deer runner was not the only participant to complain about signage and Seguin has been all ears.

“We’re going to work on stronger course marshalling next year and making minor improvements,” he said.

“Last year, we had complication at the halfway point, so we put massive signs and aggressive course marshalls in that area.

“We won’t have that problem at the end again next year.”

The race saw a record number

of participants, with just fewer than 500 runners pounding the pavement.

“We made more money for student bursaries and scholarships than we ever had before,” Seguin said.

“The beautiful thing is our out-of-town numbers are going up. That means input into local economy and visitors to our city.”

Houle said he will return to run the race again.

“Kamloops is a beautiful city and I had a great time there and an awesome experience,” he said.

“I understand it’s a relatively new marathon and it will get better every year.

“I think just a little bit of chalk on the asphalt would have helped. I was looking for arrows and I didn’t see any, so maybe some better signage.”

Race results and photos are posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

Local athletes find podium at Indigenous Games Kamloops was represented on Team B.C. at the North American Indigenous Games, which wrapped up in Regina on Sunday, July 27.

Adam Phillips won gold playing with the province’s under-19 boys’ basketball team.

Olivia McDonald, Janna Wale and Erica Fortier went undefeated and won gold with the under-19 girls’ volleyball squad.

Matt Hans finished fifth playing for the under-19 lacrosse team.

B.C. finished atop the podium with 160 medals — 63 gold, 49 silver and 48 bronze.

The event showcased unity, sport, culture, youth, volunteerism and teamwork between First Nations, Metis and non-indigenous communities.

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?

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.

SPORTS

Kamloops Invitational Soccer Tournament a moneymaker

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Even if Rob Piva’s ballpark estimate is a little off, the Kamloops Invitational Soccer Tournament (KIST) has been a cash cow for Kamloops.

Heading into its 24th year, Piva, one of the event’s founders, figures the tournament has brought in about $15 million to the city, with this year’s field set to include 73 teams of up to 21 players each.

The action gets underway on McArthur Island on Friday, Aug. 1, and runs to Monday, Aug. 4 “The tournament this year is attracting between 1,200 to 1,500 visitors, which we believe is approximately a $750,000 economic boost to the City of Kamloops in hotel rooms, restaurants, pubs, nightclubs, gas and retail,” Piva said.

“We started with 13 teams in 1990, six guys’ and seven women’s, and it’s gone as high as 107. We’re down a little this year, but we’re not worried about it.”

Piva said one of the reasons for the drop in the number of teams is the per-team entry fee of $550.

“Referee costs are high and field costs are high, so it’s getting more costly to get into these tournaments,” Piva said.

Piva also said the tourney’s aging demographic is partly to

blame for the drop in attendance.

“I just find it’s a lot of the same guys organizing the teams and a lot of them are getting older like me,” he said.

“They’re tired. Organizing is tough.”

This year’s field will include squads from Fort St. John, Edmonton, Calgary, Medicine Hat, Grande Prairie, Squamish and Vancouver Island, among other cities, and Piva said they will benefit from the reduced number of entrants.

“All of the games this year are at McArthur Island, so the teams are going to be happy as hell,” he said.

“People love playing down there. When they come from out of town, they don’t have this type of facility. We take it for granted.”

Fields of lesser quality across the city have been used in years past when numbers are up.

“The product we gave wasn’t as good when we had 107 teams,” Piva said. “That’s too many. We were putting people on fields that really aren’t that great.

“I’d like an 88- or 90-team tournament.”

There were 83 teams last year.

Up for grabs in 2014 is $20,760 in prize money, much of which will likely be used to recoup costs incurred in the beer garden, which will again be a

hot spot on McArthur.

Environment Canada is predicting sun and highs in the mid30s each day, with clouds in the mix on Saturday and Sunday.

The tourna-

ment’s traditional Sunday-night dance, the Carni-ball, will get underway at 8 p.m. at 1555 Versatile Dr., next to Costco.

Tickets are available for $10 at the beer garden.

There will be six games on Friday, 67 on Saturday and 57 on Sunday. The finals will be held on Monday.

‘He ended up with a very knowledgeable perspective’ X From B1

“For some odd reason, that was his daily thing,” said his brother, Robert.

Aasen watched cases for at least 15 years in the Kamloops Law Courts building before he died on June 15 of a heart attack at age 66.

He rode his scooter the short distance from Glenfair to the courthouse, parked it outside and sat in courtroom 2D or wandered up to the top floor if something interested him in B.C. Supreme Court.

Aasen smoked cigarettes on the second-story balcony and popped into the courthouse cafe to have coffee with Rychard Redmond two or three times each week.

Redmond has volunteered at the courthouse cafe for the better part of a decade and the two only saw each other when Aasen came to court.

Redmond teared up at the news of his death.

He hadn’t seen Aasen in a while and didn’t know he had died.

Redmond said their coffee days helped him through depression and hyper-anxiety and, when his phone was stolen earlier this year, Aasen replaced it.

Steve Aasen was estranged from his two kids (pictured with him here), but left everything to them when he died.

“He had empathy towards my pain,” Redmond said.

“Now I can say prayers for him.”

Redmond sat with Aasen in court once — during part of Alan Schoenborn’s triple-murder trial in 2009.

But, Aasen watched many more trials — months spent following the story of rival drug gangs from Cranbrook and, more recently, the double-murder trial that ended in December and sent Roy Fraser to prison with a life sentence.

Whether it was high-profile or something that piqued his interest, Aasen was there — a fixture in the courthouse.

He had no legal training, but the retired cab driver talked to every-

FLOOR COVERING

one — lawyers, reporters, court staff, witnesses and the accused.

Everyone knew his face or knew him simply as Steve.

“He was the most informed and educated court watcher,” Kamloops lawyer Don Campbell said, noting Aasen was unlike most who attended court — often with personal biases, sometimes angry or looking to blame the legal system.

Instead, Aasen smiled, which stood out and made him easy to talk to, Campbell said.

“You could talk about the fact that witnesses were funny, incredible, bizarre.

“He ended up with a very knowledgeable perspective.”

Lawyer Ken Tessovitch also chatted with Aasen, noting that he

had an opinion about “every jury trial there ever was.”

Global B.C.’s Geoff Hastings was a reporter at Radio NL and was one of the many Kamloops reporters who got to know Aasen.

A departing Radio NL reporter introduced the two when Hastings arrived in 2007.

“There was actually no one else quite like him [Aasen],” Hastings said.

“Most of the time, he’d be there more than the reporters.

“You could ask Steve what happened.

“He was always right.”

While Aasen was fascinated with the legal system, he had his own experience with the law and spent time in prison.

“I think he broke into a drugstore or something,” brother Robert said.

“He was just a young pup back then.

“He done something foolish and paid the price.”

Outside of court, Aasen’s relationships with his two kids and exwife had been distant for a couple of years.

The three were not among the 40 or so people who attended a memorial service earlier this month at Glenfair.

Anne Jack lived a few doors down from Aasen for seven years.

He testified on her behalf when

she went to trial last year for striking a pedestrian in Lansdowne Village.

“He was there every day for me,” she said.

Jack called Aasen a friend, but noted he was different from other residents at Glenfair.

Not everyone got along with him like she did.

“He liked to be alone a lot,” Jack said.

“Not everybody could understand that.”

Aasen’s stepmother, Gwen Aasen, also lives at Glenfair, but she hadn’t seen him in some time — not much at all since Aasen’s father died three years ago.

Robert said they were never a very close-knit family, though he and sister Marjorie Candlish recalled Aasen as a “neat freak” and “mommy’s little boy,” having been the first boy of the family.

They each called him by his full name, Steven, and neither knew why Aasen spent so much time in court or what happened with his family.

But, Aasen’s final wish might give some insight into how he felt about family, despite dedicating his time to court.

“He wanted everything he owned going to his children,” Robert said.

“And I mean everything.”

FAITH

Are we climbing up — or climbing down?

E

ARLIER THIS YEAR, WE heard about 16 sherpas who perished under an avalanche on Mt. Everest.

What a tragedy.

Similar accidents take place in the Rockies.

I read an article about the high percentage of casualties occurring during climbs on Mt. Everest and other mega-peaks.

Reaching their tops is a dream of many, though the risk is high.

Such climbs take much preparation, training, fitness and financial resources.

Many underestimate the dangers.

Statistics are sobering: In 2008, 3,684 people attempted to climb Mt. Everest and 210 (5.7 per cent) died.

The same year, 10,229 people attempted to climb peaks over 8,000 metres, of which

KARL SAMEK You Gotta Have FAITH 711 (seven per cent) died.

The highest percentage of death occurred on Mt. Annapurna — out of 153 climbers, 58 (38 per cent) died.

Why do so many men and women take such risks?

Most die on their way down after they had reached their coveted goal.

Most die of exhaustion, running out of oxygen or via an innocent-looking slip.

The most shocking revelation is that many needn’t have died

if there was someone there to help them.

One such story is an example: “On my climb up, I passed by two fresh, dead bodies.

“They must have come to realize they would die, but lacked strength to crawl aside.

“They remained connected to the rope and other climbers were stepping over them.

“Then I noticed another climber laying on the rocks. It was Aydin from Turkey. We met in the lower camp.

“He was partly unconscious and had no gloves or oxygen supply left. He gave up and waited for his end.

“Others were passing him by. I knew if I do the same, he’ll die.”

This is not fiction.

It happened in May 2012. Israeli climber Nadav Ben Yehuda, 24, aborted his climb just 300 metres below the top.

He decided to save the life of a climber and forfeit his life ambition of becoming the youngest Israeli to ever reach the top of Mt. Everest.

For nine hours, he worked hard coming down with the body of helpless Aydin.

Most of the climbers on their way up refused to offer any help.

When asked to help, they would not respond, looking sideways as they pursued their goals.

This story is not an isolated case. Others were also left to die alone because climbers kept pursuing the peak.

An estimated 200 people lay scattered on the rocks of Mt. Everest, unburied, while climbers press on to reach the coveted top.

“What is the value of human life?” and “What can a person give in exchange for his life?” were questions Jesus

asked one day.

Where are our priorities?

Is pursuit of our goals reason to step over the wounded?

Nadav didn’t.

All around us are people with deep inner wounds, exhausted from battling life’s adversities.

Then along comes you or me pursuing our life’s ambitions and we face a dilemma.

Will we press on, pass by or stop to help save the wounded and weak?

Jesus told the parable of the Good Samaritan (read the story in Luke 10:25-37).

The Good Samaritan was pursuing his business until he saw a wounded Jew who was robbed, beaten and left to die by the road.

There were two men from a high religious office pursuing their religion’s agenda.

They passed by the dying man.

Now, Samaritans were hated by the Jews in those days — and vice-versa.

But, this Samaritan was different.

He did not allow racial, ethnic or religious prejudices, or his business interests, override common human compassion.

He was moved to action knowing that, without his prompt help, the wounded would die.

In a sense, this is what our creator did for us. He came to our dying planet as one of us to rescue prejudiced, unwelcoming and helpless humanity.

You may be in the position of that dying man in our story, or you may be someone strong and successful climbing to reach your high goals and life’s ambition.

Or you feel exhaust-

ed, worn out, defeated and ready to give up.

Many chasing life’s dreams find them empty and feel like dying on the inside.

Trying to come back to a normal, wholesome life can seem beyond human strength.

The Lord of Life understands. He won’t step over anyone. He’ll gently care, heal our wounds and lead us to where real and safe life is lived.

Most often, He works through human helpers — people like Nadav or the Good Samaritan, in the parable Jesus told.

If you feel like giving up, I pray He will bring one into your life.

If you are the strong one now, move your heart to become the Good Samaritan to someone in need.

Stir in gravy colouring and celery salt.

• Arrange meat in a shallow baking dish Pour a half-cup if marinade over each piece of meat.

• Slightly oil your favourite grill, then place meat on top and cook to your desired preference.

Here’s to healthy eating — for you and your wallet Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated — simply cook and enjoy.

Small changes can pay off big by reducing your risk, and your family’s risk, of getting obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

It’s all about getting back to the basics by cooking delicious meals at home.

Home-cooked meals are healthier, less expensive and can bring the whole family together.

The Interior Health Authority’s registered dietitians offer some important reasons why home cooking is good for everyone.

• Healthy cooking is easy.

You don’t need to be a chef to prepare healthy meals when you have the right foods and recipes on hand.

“People who cook meals from scratch eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains,” said registered dietitian Jill Worboys.

“Cooking from scratch doesn’t have to be complicated. Basic cooking skills, combined with a few tasty idea, are all you need to make healthy and delicious meals at home.”

• Home cooking is budget-friendly.

Eating at restaurants can be expensive. Cooking meals at home helps save money for other important things.

“Delicious and nutritious foods can be easy on the pocketbook. There are many ways you can save money when cooking at home,” Worboys said.

“Planning meals ahead of time helps you make the most of the ingredients you buy and reduces waste.”

For more great tips on how healthy cooking can be budget friendly, go online to the HealthLink BC website at tinyurl.com/qgllf9u.

• Cooking can be a family affair.

Getting the entire family involved in cooking, especially children, teaches important life skills and healthy eating habits.

“Children who get their hands on food and help prepare meals are more willing to try new foods and are more likely to eat with their families,” Worboys said.

“Children benefit in many ways when families eat together.

They perform better at school, develop a deeper sense of belonging and security and are less likely to smoke and use drugs.”
